Chapter 12 Economic War(2/2)

Although he does not study economic systems and currency systems, he has always seen people running away from pigs. Since Wei's official money can circulate throughout the world, he can learn from some of the practices of later generations.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Yang Ke glanced at Chu Rubeng.

The old man is a bit grumpy today!

"What will happen if a large amount of money flows into the market now to buy grain and all the grain stored in various places are bought up?"

Chu Rupeng and Cheng Kangming had a deeper understanding of the economy. They frowned in thought for a moment and shook their heads.

"This is not easy to do. Nowadays, the taxes collected by various countries, including my own country, are mainly grain. The rest is money, silk, and various minerals. The tax revenue I just mentioned to you is all converted into money.

The last quantity.”

"I also know that the grain will be collected in the warehouse. But Shu and Chu are two countries, one is a country of abundance, and the other occupies the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. The trade of grain is common. As long as it is broken into parts, it will not attract the attention of the two countries."

"It's still not right."

After listening to Mu Jianming's explanation, Cheng Kangming continued to speak.

"Even if I can buy food secretly, I, the Wei Dynasty, don't have that much money."

"If you don't have money, then mint it. Mint enough money."

Mu Jianming answered decisively.

Cheng Kangming still shook his head.

"For one thing, we can't mint a large amount of copper coins. Minting money also requires costs. The more we mint, the greater the cost. Furthermore, countries are not stupid, so how can they allow us to purchase large quantities of grain."

Mu Jiaming smiled sheepishly.

"I don't know the current method of making coins, so I can't answer the first question yet. As for the second question, as long as we get started, someone will naturally finish the rest for us."

"What does this mean?"

"We went to Shu and Chu in the name of private caravans to purchase large amounts of grain. This will cause the price of grain to rise on the market. And the rise in grain price will in turn drive up the price of other items.

Wealthy households will be the first to feel the rising prices, and later, whether for their own use or profit, they will add fuel to the fire and become our support.

There are aristocratic families behind several countries. The aristocratic families put their own interests first. They will purchase grains without caring about the lives of the people. If they don't have enough money, they will melt away the copper coins they have accumulated and cast inferior coins themselves.

And as long as one family does this, other families will follow suit. By then, all the money circulating in the market will be bad money. The people will have no food in their hands, only these bad coins. By then, you will definitely have more ways than me."
