Chapter 148 Let them go

After listening to Fan Xiang's talk about printing banknotes by Dangxiang, Xu Ping nodded: "Hao Thief is vicious, and Zhang Yuan did this right. Snakes and rats have their own ideas, and it is not entirely due to luck that he can get to his current status in Dangxiang. With the wealth plundered with banknotes, Hao Thief can fight for a few more years. It seems that the thieves will not be destroyed in a short time."

Fan Xiang bowed: "The officials in charge have an idea, but they don't know whether it is feasible."

"Let me tell me. Doing things is about focusing on ideas and everyone will come up with their own ideas."

"The paper and ink used for the thief to print money were bought from us. Even the craftsmen who made the plates were found by us. The strategy, we might as well print out the money according to the money printed by the thief and spend it in the thief's territory. In this way, we can buy goods from the thief's territory without saying a penny, wouldn't it be nice?"

After hearing Fan Xiang's words, Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "Prime Minister Tong, your method sounds good, but it actually doesn't work. If the foreign land is rich in goods and everything is available, you can buy anything with money, so it is naturally good to do so. But now the prices of goods in the foreign land are high and the goods are in short supply. If you can't buy goods with money, this method will not work. The most difficult thing to use paper money is not how to print the money, but how to spend it after printing it. We have printed the foreign land here, how to spend it? In fact, there is no way, and we have to force it.

Flowers may also make the eyeliners we placed in the Fanren to be discovered, which is not worth the loss. You must understand that the banknotes printed by Haozhe are not from private trade, but only the means he used to plunder wealth from the people. Using paper money is just the means he chose. We do not have the ability to plunder wealth from the Fanren realm, and the money is printed without any effect. Now, powerful families and major tribes in the Fanren realm must be full of money that Haozhe forced to plunder them. We will not ask for it if we print it for free."

Fan Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then he understood this truth. Money was born in response to the commodity economy. At this time, the commodity economy that was not originally large in Dangxiang has basically been completely destroyed, and currency has lost its original function. Yuan Hao asked Zhang Yuan to print the paper money to be used to buy things at all, but to forcefully plunder wealth from the people. Xu Ping, Qinzhou, did not have such a method, so the money was printed out as waste paper. To put it bluntly, Dangxiang's paper money is not used to buy things now, but to steal things from the lower-level people. Even in Dangxiang, it is difficult to spend money with it. Fan Xiang was a group of financial experts who grew up after Xu Ping's new policies of the Three Divisions, and this is not understandable.

Xu Ping also said: "The first printing of paper money in the thief's territory will inevitably be used in the folk for a period of time at the beginning. It is hard to say how long it will be, maybe one year or two years, or several months. Just look at whether the Haozhe scrapes the land this time and is ruthless. He scrapes it hard and prints money hard. Maybe no one will use this money in a month or two. We don't need to interfere with the Haozhe doing this. As long as the Haozhe takes money from the thief, we can get a piece of the pie from it. So we should not disturb him printing money, but take advantage of this time when the powerful people in the thief have the gold, silver, cows and sheep that have been scraped up, use wine, tea, and silk to exchange the goods in their hands for us. Doing this will be much more profitable than printing the thief's capital."

Fan Xiang bowed and bowed: "The ruler said that when the officials returned, they arranged for them to sell wine and tea to Fanjie these days. When Haozi saw that there were too many goods, he might even exaggerate Yuanhui to do things."

Xu Ping held his palm: "That's true! The common people are like ants, drinking their blood and cutting out their flesh. At first, I couldn't see that the great chiefs among the thieves might really think that printing paper money will make them rich. This is the best. Now the goods that the thieves lack are in our hands, and we will inevitably have a portion of this dynasty. Well, don't spend too much time printing money on the thieves. Everything is done as they did before, so as not to make it difficult for Tong Dalang and the Bing Yuchi and others to sell more goods."

Fan Xiang promised that when you have the upper hand, you must keep the results well and do not act rashly. Whether it is a person or a country, you must avoid the word greed. Now you can make steady profits by smuggling and trading in Qinzhou, and there is no need to do anything extra.

Xu Ping suddenly remembered something and asked Fan Xiang: "I asked you to send someone to buy horses from the Western Regions two months ago. Is there any result?"

"Just about to report the strategy, the people sent to buy horses have returned. They did not go to the Western Regions, but arrived at Shazhou and saw that there were horses on the market that were suitable for us, so they bought five hundred horses. According to the strategy, they bought all good horses at all costs, including 350 stallions and 150 mares."

"Very good! Fighting with thieves, it's not OK to have no horses, but it's not OK to have fewer horses. Horses are related to the victory or defeat of the army and have a huge impact on the court. It's not OK to buy from foreign countries alone. We have to raise them ourselves. To the north of the Wei River is the Horse Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, the Dingxicheng area, and the Pastoral Garden in the Han Dynasty. It's excellent to raise horses. I wrote to the Privy Council and the Peasant Department, and transferred commanders from the Herd of the Horse Supervisor around the capital. They are all skilled in raising horses and are very skilled. The horses you bought from the Western Regions are alone.

Arrange a pasture, and don’t choose local excellent mares for feeding them. Remember to separate the pastures used by the herdsmen around them, and do not mix horse breeds, and do not be careless. Last year, the villages were merged into the surrounding Qinzhou and all households were established. They had the habit of grazing. Although they still make a living by grazing after the village was merged, they were no longer nomadic and became a normal village. This method is to learn from the horse herders, and at least semi-settled, and number the horses in the prison, and raise good horses."

Fan Xiang nodded and Xu Ping's meaning was very clear. In the future, the horse supervision in Qinzhou would be managed by Fan Xiang, the magistrate, and Shi Yannian took care of another stall. Grazing does not have to be nomadic. As long as the productivity level is high and the technology can keep up, you can also grazle cattle, sheep or semi-settled residence. After the land camp was reclaimed in Qinzhou, alfalfa was planted on a large scale. This year, the seeds have been widely circulated, and many villages were sprouted by farmers. Alfalfa is a high-quality forage grass, and it is green in early spring.

When the yellow is not raised, it can also help disaster relief. At that time, the tender alfalfa seedlings were very good food. Alfalfa planting has a scale and can be harvested and made into hay. In autumn and winter, as feed for livestock, and the grain and material provided after the development of agriculture has been developed, many herders no longer need to move. For the Central Plains dynasty, herders are difficult to manage. The most important thing is that they are unstable to move. Once they settle down, the government can organize households and people to the same people as farmers.

In the future, if the Song Dynasty's sphere of influence is pushed to the north of the Yellow River from Mazhi Mountain and Tiandu Mountain, they will still face the management of herders under their rule. If their residence cannot be fixed, they will be detained and will be reborn again hundreds of years later. If they want to completely solve the southern invasion of nomadic peoples in the north, they can only use various methods to achieve the same household registration as the Central Plains.
