Lu Yi was right. The cell in Jincheng was indeed very clean. Except for the musty smell in the air that made people feel a little uncomfortable, and the room being a bit shabby, everything was fine.

"Feng Langjun, do you think there is anything else you need help with?"

Lu Yi stood outside the cell and asked with a wry smile on his face.

"It's OK."

Feng Yong nodded, pointed to the corner and said, "Put a couch for me there. I don't like sleeping on the ground because I'm afraid of the cold. The cell is too cold in winter. If you don't want me to freeze to death here,

, you'd better give me some wool blankets."

"Then set up a stove for me. Also, the charcoal must be fine charcoal, otherwise it will be poisonous. When the time comes, I will be poisoned and die from you, and you won't be able to explain it."

Lu Yi's eyes twitched, "Feng Langjun, I can get you a couch, but this woolen blanket, stove and fine charcoal... are not something that a low official can afford."

Feng Yong glanced at him and said contemptuously, "I know you are poor people! Don't worry, as long as you go to Fengzhuang and say something, my house will naturally come out."

Facing the man who was the best at making money, Lu Yi, the official of Jincheng's parents, had no confidence to refute, and even felt secretly ashamed.

Hearing Feng Yong say that he had made it out on his own, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he sighed, this Jincheng Order is really not easy to get.

If an ordinary prisoner comes in and I don't make him cry and shout "Sir, I was wrong", my surname will not be Lu.

But when he thought of the tone and demeanor of the Prime Minister when he ordered Feng Yong to be imprisoned, Lu Yi could only sigh again.

Watching Lu Yi leave the cell as if fleeing, Feng Yong tried to push the cell door, only to hear a "squeak" and it opened...

"Hey, hey, Magistrate Lu, your cell door is not closed!"

Feng Yong shouted loudly from behind.

Lu Yi turned back angrily, with veins popping up on his forehead, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't shout! I don't like closing the cell door, is that okay?"

"Can."

Feng Yong nodded subconsciously.

Lu Yi then turned around and left with satisfaction - still leaving the cell door open.

Feng Yong curiously walked out of his cell and found that no one came to care about him. He was really surprised.

He looked around and found that the cell was deserted. Apart from himself, there was only one prisoner, and it was in the cell opposite him.

"Hey, the cells in Jincheng are well cleaned."

When Feng Yong saw that his cell was cleaned, he thought it was a preferential treatment for him. Unexpectedly, the prisoner's cell opposite was also quite clean.

The prisoner opposite had been staring at Feng Yong since he came in. When he heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing, "But in front of Feng Yong?"

Feng Yong saw that the other party was neatly dressed and did not look slovenly, so he answered, "Yes, I am Feng Yong. You just came in too?"

The person opposite nodded, "One day earlier than Feng Langjun."

Then he asked, "How can I prove that you are Mr. Feng?"

Feng Yong pointed at himself and said with a smile, "With my current situation, who is willing to bear this reputation?"

"Feng Langjun's name is not only known to everyone in the Han Dynasty, but after his writings were introduced to the north, even Cao Zijian marveled that his writings were like an immortal flying in the sky, overlooking the vastness. With such a reputation, I'm afraid everyone wants to replace him, right?"

The person opposite laughed out loud.

"That's because you don't know why I came in here."

Feng Yong sighed.

"Why?"

"Making trouble in the street, leading a group of noble men to smash up a female house, well, it's all because of a woman."

"Doesn't that make him a prostitute who likes women?"

There was a look of admiration on the other party's face, "Feng Langjun even went so far as to destroy his reputation in order to meet me. He really put a lot of effort into it."

"Me to meet you?"

Feng Yong looked at the passionate man opposite him in confusion, "Where do you start talking about this? Who are you?"

The person on the other side cupped his hand and said, "Liang Si of Liangzhou, I have met Feng Langjun."

"The Liang family in Longyou County?"

Feng Yong was startled and subconsciously looked at the cell door. There was no one there.

Liang Si nodded, with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm from the north, so I can't reveal my real name. I'm traveling at home, so Feng Langjun can just call me Liang Si."

"Why are the people from the Liang family here?"

Feng Yong felt that it was really unexpected.

Liang Si sighed, "I don't even understand. The day before yesterday I was a guest, but yesterday I became a prisoner. Things in the world are unpredictable."

Feng Yong came to his senses, laughed, and pointed at himself, "It's the same for me. Yesterday I was successful in the Southern Expedition, but today I'm in jail."

At the same time, I finally felt relieved. It turned out that the reason why Old Demon Zhuge imprisoned himself was here.

Liang Si opposite heard Feng Yong's words and probably understood. The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"Sir, can you represent the Liang family?"

Feng Yong sat opposite Liang Si and asked through the thick railing of the cell.

Liang Si nodded, "Anyone can make the decision regarding the woolen cloth."

It seems that this person's status in the Liang family is not low, no wonder he dares to reveal his real name.

Feng Yong looked at the other party and asked a question he had thought about for a long time, "You in the north no longer use coins, what are you going to use to buy my woolen cloth?"

Liang Si smiled calmly, "His Majesty not only said that coins should not be used, but also that grains and silk cloth should be used for transactions."

Feng Yong took a breath of cold air, "Grain? Do you dare?"

Liang Si nodded, "In the past, when coins could still be used, everyone would naturally not dare to use them. But now that there are no coins, what else can we use besides food? I guess since Feng Langjun already has wool cloth, silk cloth will also be used."

Isn’t it attractive to your eyes?”

"Also, there isn't much else in Liangzhou, but horses can still be used..."

So why is Cao Pi's abolition of coins such a stupid operation?

This simply adds another powerful medicine to the accelerated rise of local aristocratic families.

The local aristocratic family dared to be so crazy, and Cao Pi was indispensable.

"Of course, if Feng Langjun is willing, we can also use Dahan coins to trade."

It seems that the Liang family has considered this issue for a long time, and Liang Si continued to explain their plan.

"Anyway, Da Wei has no coins now, so our Liang family can recognize the coins of Da Han in private. If someone takes Da Han's coins to buy things in Liangzhou in the future, our Liang family can sell them to them."

Look, this is the result of delegating power to local aristocratic families.

The extreme selfishness of the aristocratic family is clearly reflected here - of course, you can also think of it as the greed of capital that Ma Dabeard mentioned.

Therefore, this is why the state must strengthen local control, because only in this way can the centrifugal force generated by various local interests be minimized.

Controlling the power of minting and issuing a unified currency is one of the most important means for rulers to rule the country.

It is not so much that Cao Pi abolished coins as he gave up the right to mint coins to local aristocratic families.

The right to mint money does not necessarily mean that coins must be minted. When food becomes currency, the aristocratic family is equivalent to controlling the right to mint money.

"I heard that the woolen cloth notes printed by Feng Langjun are very exquisite. As long as Feng Langjun is willing to extend the period enough, our Liang family can also recognize it."

"Gudong!"

Feng Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and thought, damn, if this guy is from the big man's side, I will be the first to kill him with a knife, and then lead people to plunder the Liang family from top to bottom!

"Please allow me to slow down."

Feng Yong waved his hand and sat on the ground, wanting to be quiet.

After a while, he glanced at Liang Si, who was smiling, and wondered whether you don't know the cruelty of the currency war, or are you pretending not to know?

So he asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that others will find out that you, the Liang family, use Han coins?"

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, in the Wei Dynasty, the Han Dynasty's coins can't buy things from other people. In the eyes of others, the Liang family just got a bunch of useless things."

As Liang Si spoke, he moved towards Feng Yong again and looked directly at Feng Yong.

"Feng Langjun, our Liang family has already taken a huge risk by doing this. If one day you don't recognize these coins and bills, we won't even have a place to find anyone to comment on it. We are sincere enough, right?"

?”

Well, it seems that you really don't know the cruelty of currency war.

Feng Yong smiled.

"Sir, why are you speaking so pitifully? It's not like I've never sold woolen cloth to those barbarians, so I know the benefits. Even if that time comes, I'm afraid you've already earned enough from the barbarians."

Liang Siqian laughed, "But Feng Langjun has to admit that when the time comes, we will also have losses, right? Aren't the only ones without losses the only ones who don't have losses are Dahan and Feng Langjun?"

Sure enough, it is the nature of an aristocratic family to see small profits and forget the great righteousness.
