Once this matter is operated, Jiang Fu himself will be in a very dangerous situation.

But Jiang Fu felt that as long as the news was not revealed, as long as the secret was kept tight and another team was set up to take charge of this matter, no one knew who was the one who was operating the secretly.

His identity is so clear that he might be an excellent opportunity to be a deep water wolf, and he might be able to survive to the end.

The premise of all is to keep confidential.

It is related to his own life, Jiang Fu is very cautious.

Not long after, under his order, a secret department hidden in the Ministry of Revenue was born. Jiang Fu personally served as the department doctor and selected his most trusted subordinates to join in to do things.

The "money printing machine" of the Chengdu court began to operate secretly, strictly blocking news both at home and outside, and never let anyone know that this batch of Jiaozi was printed, and no one knew what the purpose of this batch of Jiaozi was and where it would be sent.

Those who do this must be strictly controlled for personal freedom and must not leave the prescribed area privately, otherwise they will be arrested and sent to jail.

Everyone involved in the project is given a high salary, and in addition, the immediate family members are taken care of by the court as hostages to prevent them from having unfaithful intentions to destroy the court's plans.

After a series of thoughtful preparations, the plot began to run.

It is very difficult to make physical currency, but it is almost no difficulty to print jacks on paper.

The printing-related technology was in their hands. With Jiang Fu's order, millions of Jiaozi of different denominations were printed casually.

Only Jiang Fu's cooperation is not enough, and the Privy Council must also cooperate.

They needed to stabilize the army in the early stage and try every means to get the soldiers to accept their children and not cause trouble, so Zhao Buxi personally informed Wu Lin of this matter.

Of course, what Wu Lin knew was not all. He did not know that Zhao Buxi planned to use Jiaozi to make money from rich people. He just knew that Zhao Buxi wanted to reward soldiers with the sealed Jiaozi.

Wu Lin felt that the problem was quite big and wanted to persuade Zhao Buxi to take this matter carefully.

He didn't think there was any financial problem, he just thought that soldiers would be more or less depressed when they found that their reward was Jiaozi. Everyone knew that iron coins were stronger than Jiaozi. Whether Jiaozi was valuable was more involved. Individuals would prefer iron coins instead of Jiaozi.

So his suggestions are also very solid and simple.

"Only by rewarding the army with coins, the army will feel happy and excited. If you reward the army with Jiaozi, the army may be depressed. Please let Your Majesty take a clear look!"

Zhao Buxi heard Wu Lin's words, but just sighed slightly and shook his head.

"Of course I know that this is a big problem, but the treasury really can't afford it. At present, I can only reward the army through Yin Jiaozi. In order to boost the morale of the army, I have an idea, I don't know what you think."

Wu Lin blinked and said, "Please tell me your Majesty."

"I asked the Privy Council to notify the officers in the army to say something good for Jiaozi, and that this was the court's concerns that the marching was difficult, so the special supply to Jiaozi was specially prepared, which was completely different from Jiaozi, which was circulated in the general market.

Everyone doesn’t like Jiaozi on the market, but this special Jiaozi in the military can be completely exchanged for sufficient iron coins, just to make it easier for soldiers to carry. In this way, the army will be more peaceful, what do you think?"

Zhao Buxi looked at Wu Lin with great anticipation.

Wu Lin couldn't say that this approach would definitely be useless.

Because the concept of special supply to Jiaozi in the army has not been used by the rulers, the soldiers probably couldn't tell the difference between these Jiaozi and ordinary Jiaozi for a while.

But the soldiers are definitely not fools. Like farmers, they attach great importance to immediate interests and are very persistent in immediate interests. When they go to the battlefield, they are more dangerous than farmers and may die at any time, so they also value real money rewards more than farmers.

If they feel dissatisfied, they may cause mutiny at any time.

After all, the rulers in the past were too inhumane, and they did things that were unpredictable. Even the soldiers' blood and tears of life had to be corruption and exploited, so that soldiers had to take extreme measures to fight against the rulers for their own interests.

At the beginning of the battle, if you don’t give rewards, you won’t obey orders and don’t fight. If you let the war fail, you will have a life together. Anyway, you have a bad life. I think you will give it to it.

To force soldiers to this extent, one can imagine what kind of ecology was within the feudal army, and one can also imagine how the generals within the Western Army harmed their soldiers back then.

If the soldiers were not deceived to the point where their families were destroyed, the soldiers at the bottom of the food chain would not dare to resist.

This situation can only be said that they have no trust, no glory, no ties, and only cold interests.

Wu Lin was very strict in controlling soldiers and had strict military laws, but he did not dare to play tricks with soldiers in terms of distribution of interests.

Give it as much as you should, give it whatever you need, and never make any mistakes in the economy.

Therefore, his soldiers generally had a certain trust in him and never lost their chains in the Jin and Song war. It was rare to follow him to climb ice and lie on snow to fight against the Jin soldiers.

Wu Lin, who was born in the large group of the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, knew very well how precious credibility was in the army, and how rare it was for him to have credibility—

Now Zhao Buxi's approach is to let Wu Lin use the credibility he earned for his life to fight to support the Chengdu court.

The soldiers may not necessarily trust the Chengdu court, but if Wu Lin spoke, the soldiers would give him face and trust him once.

This will make this group of military special supplies to achieve a tremendous effect.

The price is that once the promise is not fulfilled, the reputation Wu Lin has gained from decades of war collapses, and it will be basically impossible to establish it again.

How could this not be a big gamble?

So Wu Lin's face looked very ugly.

"Your Majesty, can these kids really be exchanged for iron coins?"

Zhao Buxi was silent for a while when he heard this, then lowered his face and looked at Wu Lin.

"Of course I can exchange it for it. Why? Mr. Wu thinks this plan is not easy to use?"

Wu Lin quickly denied it.

"I dare not, but Your Majesty, the trust of soldiers in the general is an important reason why the army can win battles. Once this trust is lost, it is really hard to say whether the army can still fight to the death."

Zhao Buxi heard what Wu Lin said and sighed.

"During the marching and war, there is no chance to exchange Jiaozi for money. After the rebellion is victorious, the court will have a wealth of finances, so there will naturally be money to exchange for this batch of Jiaozi. Mr. Wu will consider it for the court, and this matter cannot be delayed."

Wu Lin lamented in his heart, realizing that he might not be able to escape this time.

Despite this, he could not refuse Zhao Buxi's request.

"I... obey the order."

The emperor you choose must recognize even when you cry, and the path you choose must continue even when you kneel.

But Zhao Buxi seemed to have no psychological burden at all.

He is still outputting.

"Also, this matter is top secret. The fewer people know, the better. Mr. Wu should not tell others what I told you. How about it?"

"I... obey the order."

Wu Lin nodded helplessly and recognized Zhao Buxi's order.

So in accordance with Zhao Buxi's request, Wu Lin issued an order to the officers of the front-line conscripted forces in his own name that only officers could know.

The court ordered that due to financial difficulties, there was no enough iron money to reward the army at the moment, so a group of special military supplies were printed to soldiers, hoping to achieve the effect of quenching thirst.

The officers of the various army needed to cooperate with the court, promote Jiaozi's advantages, suppress the military's style of resisting Jiaozi, and magnify the court's efforts.

Of course, the rewards from middle and senior officers are also specially provided.

There are iron and copper coins, and there are even some gold, silver, pearls and jade. The Shu brocade, tea, and porcelain that were difficult to sell before were taken out and rewarded to the officers. Keep it properly and there will always be a day when it can be sold.

This move is to unite middle and senior officers and temporarily suppress the resentment of grassroots officers and soldiers so that the war can continue.

As long as the middle and senior officers maintain a high degree of consistency with the court, they can oppress the army to follow the court.
