Chapter 223 Monetary Policy

Now we have to explain it clearly to them, otherwise Lu Ning's monetary policy will not be implemented. Lu Ning glanced at everyone and said, "Now the court is controlled by Fatty Dong. Dong Zhuo has no money to spend, so he minted five coins in large quantities. This is a huge loss for the places where we produce products. Fatty Dong doesn't have to do production. As long as we make as many fake five coins as possible, we can buy things from other places. Then, aren't we all doing product production? Don't we do it for Fatty Dong? If we continue like this, we will continue to do this.

If you go, the more things we produce, the greater the losses will be. This is not a joke, and our economy may collapse. The reason why our economy is not having many problems now is that I am not allowed to transport grain in our jurisdiction. In addition, I have told you a long time ago that I try to collect gold and silver when selling things, including cooperation with the Zhen family and Mi family. I have asked for gold and silver settlement. Otherwise, prices in our jurisdiction will have soared and inflation. Do you think it will be so good? That is what I have expected."

Lu Ning's words scared their internal affairs officials very much, especially Sima Lang, who was so arrogant, was even more shocked. Even Guan Ning and Mr. Cai were shocked after hearing this, let alone others. Gu Yong stabilized his emotions and said, "Lord, what should we do? After all, most people in the jurisdiction use five coins."

Lu Ning said without thinking: "There is no other way, there is only one way, that is, use our own currency in our own jurisdiction and abolish the circulation of the five coins in our territory. Only in this way can the problem be fundamentally solved."

Sima Lang became anxious when he heard this and immediately said, "Brother, no, no, this is contrary to the court system and is no different from rebellion. We cannot do such things."

Lu Ning smiled and said to Sima Lang: "It's okay if you don't do it. Then Fifth brother, what can you do to solve this problem? You won't let us continue to give birth to Fatty Dong, right? If you don't solve it as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable. You should know this? You are an internal administration expert, what do you think you should do?"

Sima Lang was choked by Lu Ning, and he deserved it. Who said you are a pedantic person? You never turn around and think about it. It is blindly traditions, customs, court systems, common sense, and all kinds of messy things. Gu Yong is more flexible, and he said, "Lord, how do you want to operate?"

Lu Ning said seriously: "We must take advantage of the time when most princes are still drinking and reciting poems in Luoyang and talking about the wind and moon, and use new currency in our jurisdiction and give the people fifteen days of exchange time. We are not responsible for the expiration. After fifteen days, we will sell the old currency in our hands as soon as possible through the merchant. It is worth the loss, so that our losses will be smaller. We are one of the main areas for producing products. If we delay for one more day, we will suffer more losses. Moreover, in this way, our people will not suffer any losses, and the impact on the people is not very big."

After hearing this, Gu Yong said, "Lord, if we implement new currency, how can we sell the things produced in our jurisdiction? We will never collect the old Wuzhu coins. If we only collect gold and silver, our sales may have problems and will also affect our economic development."

Good, Gu Yong is really a master. It is really not easy to think of these problems in such a short time. Lu Ning looked at Gu Yong, smiled at him, and expressed satisfaction. Lu Ning said: "Yuan Tan, what you said makes sense. There is no way, but I think as long as the products we produce are of good quality and low price, the sales should not have much impact. Besides, we can also let merchants exchange materials needed in our jurisdiction. Merchants are the best at doing this. You don't have to worry too much. As long as merchants have money to make, they have some solutions. Moreover, when foreign merchants go to our jurisdiction to buy goods, we also have to deduct fire consumption and convert them into sufficient gold, so that we can make a good deal."

After hearing this, Guan Ning said, "Ziyi, aren't you afraid that others will also make the currency used in your jurisdiction?"

Ma Jun immediately said: "Guan Daxianren, this is impossible. The currency graphics we make are very complex and refined. Others can't make them at all except us. Even if they can make them, they can tell the truth and falsehood with their eyes. The equipment we have is not something that others can do, and we will not sell these equipment to the outside world. The manufacturing of special templates is really impossible for others to do." After saying that, Ma Jun took out a few coins from his arms to watch for everyone.

Everyone was amazed after watching it. Such exquisite patterns were so exquisitely made, they could not imagine that these were all made with a thousand pound hammer at one time. If the craftsmanship of this era was fake, it would be a dream.

After watching, Zhang Liao said, "Brother, should it be a meal?"

Lu Ning said: "Let the guards come here to eat, and we will continue to study the work after the meal."

When everyone heard that the boss was here this time and had a meal in the hall, which was something that had never happened before. After everyone had eaten something quickly, their stomachs were a little better. Mr. Cai said, "Ziyi, what's the conversion?"

Lu Ning said: "One gold coin is converted to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is converted to one hundred pure copper coins; the gold coin is ten k gold, the silver coin is 80% purity, and the copper coin is made of pure purple-red copper, which is obvious difference from gold coins."

Gu Yong thought for a while and said, "I agree to activate our new currency and execute it immediately."

Guan Ning said: "I also think it can be implemented. If the new monetary policy is not implemented, the consequences will be more and more troublesome and the losses will be greater."

After Guan Ning said that, most people immediately responded. Moreover, the military generals basically listened to Lu Ning's decision. They were just outsiders in their internal affairs, and they just blindly believed in Lu Ning's decision. Lu Ning then said: "In addition, the prices in our jurisdiction are basically stable. All the salaries of our officials in the future will be distributed to all the officials, so there is no need to send supplies anymore, so you can save your family from letting them go to the market to cash in. It is very troublesome. After issuing the coins, it will be more convenient for everyone."

After everyone heard this, no one objected to it, and they all agreed. Sima Lang glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Brother, when will the new currency be used?"

Lu Ning laughed and said, "The purpose of keeping everyone here for dinner is of course to be implemented tomorrow. So you civilian officials, you have to work overtime tonight. Tomorrow, you will send a quick horse to various places to post notices and start to find a way to deal with the old currency collected from the people as soon as possible. This is also a very important matter."
