Chapter 432

The Xiongnu invasion lasted for one month. No one knows how many tragedies happened in this month.

However, even if the Xiongnu robbed more, it was not enough for them to consume, so they still needed to come to Zhangyu and be slaughtered.

With the help of their tribes and the plundered wealth, they have not yet gathered together to buy all the food.

In the end, they could only exchange part of the horses for Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu is still very short of horses. He can get tens of thousands of war horses this time. The deal is very cost-effective.

This time, the Xiongnu wanted a large amount of goods. Apart from the relatively low profit of grain, some other goods were simply profiteering.

With millions of transactions, Zhang Yu can earn at least half of them.

However, most of them are exchanged for goods and materials, and few of them are actually traded with copper money.

After the transaction is completed, it is already winter. In winter, there is heavy snow in the north, and people feel uncomfortable outside, let alone fighting.

Zhang Yu is not in Shenyang, but in Da County, where Dalian is today.

"The volume of trade is so large that the money has become a factor restricting trade." After Zhang Yu's research, he found a big problem.

There are two problems. One is that with the development of Commerce, the trade volume is gradually increasing. Hundreds of thousands of copper coins are very heavy and inconvenient to transport.

The two problems can be solved at the same time.

"Casting silver coins and gold coins can solve the problem of inconvenient transportation, and casting more copper coins can solve the problem of insufficient coins in circulation."

Zhang Yu thought of coinage.

I didn't dare to do it before because the Great Han was still there, and coining was rebellion.

Today, the Great Han Dynasty is dead in name. No one will take care of the coins.

Therefore, Zhang Yu planned to start minting coins.

Copper, gold and silver are needed for coinage.

Although Zhang Yu has found some mines, the reserves are not very large.

The next thing Zhang Yu wants to do is to find someone to explore. Only enough ore can make enough coins.

There is to determine the template.

It's not difficult to find someone to make the template, and the most important thing is that Zhang Yu has a system, which can be exchanged for a forging machine. Although it's small, there's no problem in casting coins.

Zhang Yu had already exchanged forging press for forging equipment, especially armor, which needed forging press.

Now it's just good to exchange more for coins.

Gold coin and silver coin are easy to handle. Zhang Yu makes a template to determine the value of gold coin and silver coin.

But copper coins are not easy to handle.

Other people may not accept the forged copper coins that are different from those circulated by the Han Dynasty, and there is no template on Zhang Yu's hand.

Although the imitation template can be used, it may be able to confuse the real with the fake, but the fake is the fake. If it is used by people who want to, there may be a financial crisis in Zhang Yu's territory, and the market will be in chaos.

So Zhang Yu didn't want to take the risk.

There is no good solution for the moment, so Zhang Yu will do what can be done first.

He came to Gu Yong.

"Yuantan, there must be a relatively large mine in Liaodong or xuantu county. You should organize more people to explore and exploit. Even if you dig out the land under our control, you should find enough mines." Zhang Yu said to Gu Yong.

In ancient times, prospecting was very difficult, and Gu Yong was embarrassed.

"Lord, we don't have a special prospector. I'm afraid we can't find ore in a short time."

Gu Yong didn't quite agree with Zhang Yu's practice, so he said so.

Because it costs a lot of money to use large-scale personnel to search for ore and then cast the ore into copper coins. Maybe the copper money is not enough to recover the capital, and it is likely to lose money.

If we use these human resources to build development, the effect may be better.

Zhang Yu didn't explain much to Gu Yong, so he gave him a death order.

If there is not enough money, it will lead to deflation, which is not conducive to economic development.

These theories of later generations have nothing to explain with an ancient explanation.

Gu Yong can only follow orders.

Zhang Yu also wrote to Zhang Zhao to look for ore in Kuaiji county.

Zhang Yu knows that there are a lot of silver mines on the islands in Southeast Asia. He knows the general location and asks Zhang Zhao to arrange a large number of people to look for them. Once they are found, they will be sent.

After that, Zhang Yu had to consider how to make copper coins.

If others don't recognize their own copper coins, they will be invalid at that time. If they copy the current copper coins, they are afraid that they will be discovered by others and cause crisis at that time.

"It's better to make your own copper coins to ensure the internal circulation. And if I can legalize these copper coins, then I can use them in other places."

Zhang Yu began to plan that it was very important to be legal to make copper coins, just like printing money in later generations.

Legal problems can be solved slowly. Zhang Yu puts up the shelves first.

He immediately arranged for people to set up relevant workshops, where gold coins, silver coins and copper coins were cast together.

"Let the Empress Dowager issue a decree. As long as I find Liu Xie again and ask him to get a decree, my copper coins will be legalized and can be used in other places at that time."

Zhang Yu has thought of a way, but Liu Xie is missing at this time.

At that time, Zhang Yu was fighting with Wuhuan, and he didn't care about these.

In history, Liu Xie fled to Luoyang and was picked up by Cao Cao. Now Luoyang is Liu Bei's territory. Liu Bei claims to be a Han clan, and Liu Xie is likely to go to Liu Bei.

At this time, Zhang Yu opened up first, and other things will be discussed later.

After all, Zhang Yu plans to start collecting money again.

At the beginning, people from all walks of life participated in the siege of Kuaiji County, but there were still people who didn't pay.

Zhang Yu, such as Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, has nothing to do with them for the time being.

But at the beginning, Liu Yu also sent troops to contain Liaodong's troops. This account Zhang Yu kept in mind, but he didn't have time to settle it.

After the war with Wuhuan, Zhang Yu is very weak and has no strength to ask for an account.

After the Huns invaded Youzhou, it was not suitable to find Liu Yu's trouble at this time.

But now Zhang Yu has been busy, what should be paid must be paid.

At this time, Liu Yu had a hard time. On the one hand, the Xiongnu invasion was a mess.

As soon as the Huns left, Gongsun Zan took the opportunity to attack him.

Liu Yu was good at economy, but he was not good at military. His territory and position were bigger than Gongsun Zan's, but Gongsun Zan was always pressing him down.

At this time, Liu Yu was in a hurry. It was Zhang Yu's Revenge before liquidation.

Zhang Yu won't tell Liu Yu about morality.

Liu Yu starts at himself in the most difficult time, and Zhang Yu just returns to him in the same way.

Therefore, Zhang Yu took the opportunity to launch an attack and directly sent 20000 troops to wander around Liu Yu's territory.

It's just wandering. Zhang Yu doesn't want to fight Liu Yu.

It's no good to start a war. It's useless to fight for other sites before we have finished digesting our own territory. It's better to take the opportunity to extort a large sum of money.
