Chapter 571 Convincing the Family

Yang Hongpo was a bit tit-for-tat, and Liu Zhang's face gradually became gloomy.

After giving such great benefits to the aristocratic family, are you still unwilling to compromise?

Once the chamber of commerce is implemented, it will benefit along with some small aristocratic families.

"Ji Xiu, the Chamber of Commerce is a matter of success in the present and benefits in the future. It is no different from the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang! As the leaders of the Yizhou family, you must take a long-term view."

"Each of your big clans has a lot of land, and the food you produce is your main source of income, right? After all, businessmen are lowly occupations nowadays. I think even if your big clans have business, they won't take it too seriously. ?”

Everything depends on the price of food.

In fact, whether it is salt or Shu brocade, it is almost businessmen from other states and counties who come to them to buy, and these are not their concerns.

The Yizhou family is most concerned about food.

Food prices are what they care about most.

"Master Mingjian!"

Yang Hong did not object either. He believed that with Liu Zhang's wisdom, he would not be able to hide it.

"Ji Xiu, think about it, the family wants to make huge profits, unless the grain price in Yizhou skyrockets! But have you thought about the consequences?"

"The price of grain in Guanzhong is high, as high as 500,000 yuan per hu, but can this money still count as money?"

"The more stable Yizhou is, the stronger our strength will be. The stronger our strength, the stronger our army! If Yizhou is in turmoil, how can we have the ability to go out to fight?"

Those who can be officials in this house are not mediocre, but all Yizhou talents who can be named by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang believes that they will not only value the small profits in front of them, and the ultimate goal is undoubtedly to help him occupy the world's states and counties.

"Everyone may wish to think about it, is the value of the food important, or the value of the money in your hands?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what Liu Zhang meant.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth rose slightly, and then he raised the five baht coin minted by Dong Zhuo in his hand.

"Everyone, please see that this coin is also called five baht coins in Guanzhong, but it takes 500,000 yuan to buy a hu grain."

Then Liu Zhang raised his other hand again, and a coin also appeared in his hand, but this coin was obviously much more delicate.

"Look again, everyone. This coin is the orthodox five baht coin issued during Emperor Wu's time. In Yizhou, you can buy a grain of grain for only 30 yuan!"

"It's the same two coins, although the weight is quite different, but the difference in value is nearly 20,000 times! That is to say, a five-baht coin in my right hand can be exchanged for 20,000 five-baht coins in my left hand!"

Yang Hong and the others looked at the coins in Liu Zhang's hand in astonishment. If that's the case, the copper coins of each of their families wouldn't even be able to hold it!

"But this is very difficult to achieve, because no one is willing to exchange 20,000 small coins minted by Dong Zhuo for an orthodox five baht coin! Unless that person is a fool!"

"I wonder if you want such a fool to appear?"

Liu Zhang's words changed, and everyone's appetite was once again whetted.

"My lord, forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand what my lord means! Please explain in detail, my lord."

Yang Hong prides himself on being a wise man, but now he is dizzy by Liu Zhang's way of thinking, and can't understand it at all.

Just don't understand! If you understand, I am not two thousand years ahead of my thoughts in vain!

Liu Zhang secretly laughed in his heart, as long as he could change the logic for them, he would not be afraid of the temptation of these aristocratic families not being reborn.

"Then let me explain briefly. At present, the people of Yizhou are rich and the country is rich, with abundant food, and almost all living problems can be solved in the state. Therefore, the overall price of goods in Yizhou is very stable, and the value of five baht in your hands is very high. But all of these It's all based on the powerful strength of the State Shepherd's Mansion!"

"If there is a severe drought and the grain harvests in various places plummet, and businessmen from other states and counties come to Yizhou to buy grain at a price higher than the market price, I think you will not refuse. But if the grain is sold out and there is a severe drought, then Yizhou The food inside will also grow crazily! When the mountain is at the end of its rope, let alone 500,000 dendrobiums, even a million dendrobiums are possible!"

"At that time, will the five baht money in everyone's hands be considered money? I'm afraid it will not be as good as the bad money Dong Zhuo made!"

Liu Zhang seemed to be changing the concept secretly, but these were enough to scare Yang Hong and other aristocratic families, especially those from Shu County and Guanghan County.

At the beginning of the Maxiang rebellion and the internal chaos in Yizhou, they had experienced the crazy price at that time.

Selling food is valuable, but correspondingly, the prices of other things are also soaring wildly.

"Only by making the five baht coins in your hands valuable can you truly gain wealth. It is not the general, not the state pastor's mansion, but the chamber of commerce that can do all this. Only the chamber of commerce can do all of this!"

"The Chamber of Commerce can gather all the materials in Yizhou and make a unified plan. It can clearly know what we lack, how much we lack, what we are rich in, and how much we are rich in!"

"When there is a severe drought, it is absolutely possible to restrict the sale of grain to other states and counties, so as to stabilize the prices in Yizhou. When the harvest is bumper, you don't have to worry that too much grain will become too cheap. The Chamber of Commerce will use the same Purchasing food at a lower price can also save everyone from hoarding food and getting moldy!"

"Everyone can sell all the surplus grain at home to the chamber of commerce in exchange for money. When you need it, you can use the money to buy grain at any time. I can assure you that the price will never change. Even if there is a severe drought, our grain in Yizhou There will be no price increase for the Yizhou family!"

After Liu Zhang's persuasion and explanation, the faces of Yang Hong and others became much more relaxed, and even people like Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others already had a look of approval in their eyes.

The emergence of the chamber of commerce will make the situation in Yizhou more stable. Even if the economy of the whole world collapses, it will not have any impact on Yizhou. With the development of the Chamber of Commerce, it can also subtly weaken the strength of the family, which is more conducive to the stability of the world.

Once the chamber of commerce grows, business will no longer be a menial profession. After Liu Zhang pacified Liangzhou, he could reopen the Silk Road immediately. At that time, Liu Zhang would never be short of money again.

"My lord, Yang Hong is willing to support my lord. But on the specific details, please discuss with me, my lord!"

Liu Zhang was immediately overjoyed. After Yang Hong's approval, some vacillating families also nodded slightly.

"Don't worry about Ji Xiu, the chamber of commerce is a big deal, so it is natural to discuss and formulate it with everyone. Again, the chamber of commerce is not only for the purpose of strengthening Yizhou, but also for the benefit of you all!"

The issue of the chamber of commerce initially reached a consensus, but the small coins minted by Dong Zhuo had not yet been resolved, so Jia Xu hurriedly stood up.

"My lord, the five baht coin that Dong Zhuo minted...?"
