  Chapter 492 The Moonlight Clan of the Han Dynasty (Starting from the starting point)

   "My lord is taking a rest..." Cui Hou blinked his small eyes, a little embarrassed.

   As soon as Jia Qu left, Cui Hou came. It didn't seem to be just right, but I waited outside for a long time, and when I saw the banquet was over, I rushed over to ask for a meeting.

   "It doesn't matter." Fei Qian smiled and asked the maid to prepare some stronger tea soup to refresh herself. As a leader, you must have this awareness, especially in a situation that is just beginning like now. If you only know how to enjoy yourself all day long, you will throw things away when you issue an order. Being a sleepy **** is not in the game, and you are immune to all the myths of DEBUFF State, otherwise chaos will inevitably arise sooner or later.

I don't know why, but Fei Qian is younger than himself, but he seems to be very insightful about everything, and it seems that any problem can't be troubled. Seeing Fei Qian's gentle smile, Cui Hou has always been a little nervous and relieved I came down a bit, sorted out my thoughts, and said, "My lord, I'm going to go to Hedong for purchases tomorrow, but there is one thing... we have to pay back the first batch of loans..."

Originally, Cui Hou’s net worth was 300-400 million yuan, and he borrowed about 400 million yuan, and then paid in installments again, which is equivalent to borrowing 300-400 million yuan again. Some follow-up payments should start to be paid one after another.

   "Well, how many do we have on hand now?" Fei Qian asked.

  Cui Hou squeezed out a piece of thin silk full of words from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Fei Qian unfolded it and took a look. He suddenly felt as if he would go to the ATM to check his account balance at the end of each month in the later generations. chill...

  This money...

   It’s too inexperienced, I didn’t expect to be a moonlight clan in the Han Dynasty...

Originally, more than one billion yuan, including loans, was cut off due to the accident in Hedong, Shaanxi and Tianjin, and a lot of goods were directly lost, so in fact, the goal of doubling what Fen Feiqian originally thought was not achieved , Just relying on the difference in the price of food and grass, there is a profit of nearly 400 million, but the recruitment and use of soldiers during this period is equivalent to more than 300 million coins.

   In other words, basically the money earned is spent again.

  More than half of them are grain and grass, which have been eaten, pulled, and then gone.

  Although there are still a large number of leather and other materials in hand, the three places of Beiqu, Pingyang, and Taoshan Xuemen have started construction at the same time...

  There is no problem with grain and grass being hard currency, but this hard currency is cyclical, except for the harvest period, the rest of the time is constantly decaying.

  The lunar eclipse of Zhengdi is one stone and eight buckets, there are four thousand stones in Beiqu, five thousand here in Pingyang, and one thousand in Yong'an, and more than thirteen thousand stones will be consumed in one month for Zhengdi;

  Auxiliary soldiers have one stone in lunar eclipse, there are one thousand in Beiqu, three thousand in Pingyang including Tuntian soldiers, eight hundred in Yongan, and more than five thousand stone for a month;

There are more than 11,000 people in Yong'an, and there are about 20,000 in Pingyang. Although the people usually don't need to provide food and grass, but now these people don't have food, that is, before the harvest, they still need ration support from Feiqian. And for the construction of Pingyang and Xuemen, all kinds of handymen also need to pay with food and grass, so they need to spend about 8,000 to 10,000 shi every month...

   That is equivalent to eating 25,000 to 30,000 shi of grain and grass every month, which is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan...

   This is just eating.

   And it has not taken into account the soaring prices and inflation in the later period.

  Inflation is fiercer than tigers.

  During the period of inflation, not to mention ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, even ordinary people in later generations may not know how to invest to make money.

However, with the increase in prices, these ordinary people can only watch their savings gradually shrink, and whenever inflation occurs, it is an opportunity for the upper-class rich to plunder. …

  Fei Qian took advantage of the maid serving the strong tea soup, slowly sipping it, squinting his eyes half-closed, trying to recall some time-traveling novels he had read in his mind, hoping to provide some inspiration, and found that...

   nothing...

   seem to be simplified patterns, such as:

   "Well, it seems that we have no shortage of food and grass..."

   "Relief from work, put the left pocket into the right pocket, so that we will not be short of money..."

   "We can collect 20 million stones this year, and then we will have enough supplies for our soldiers..."

What a trough, 20 million stones is equivalent to the output of nearly 7 million mu, and the area of ​​7 million mu is converted according to the side length of 240 steps in the Han Dynasty. One mu is about 465 square meters, then seven million acres is nearly 3,000 square kilometers...

  It is almost the total area of ​​the capitals of the two later generations of the Celestial Dynasty...

And not all land can be used for growing crops, just like the fields that Feiqian has reclaimed in Pingyang now, it is at most 120,000 to 130,000 acres. Of course there is still some room, but even if it is fully reclaimed, At most, it looks like seven or eight hundred thousand acres.

   So there is a shortage of food and money, what should I do?

  Fei Qian has nothing now, so he can only carry out the method of harming others and benefiting himself to the end. Since I can't find the answer in those later time travel novels, I can only cut a batch of leeks based on what I know...

"Yongyuan, those leathers will be left first, and those without further processing are worthless... Well, in this sense, we will take part of the money first, and return the first batch, and we will return it with great fanfare..." Fei Qian put down the tea bowl , then paused, and said, "...Then, you can borrow it again after paying it back! Then borrow it back quietly..."

  Cui Hou blinked his little mung bean eyes, returned it with great fanfare, and then borrowed it?

   "My lord's intention is to bluff?"

"That's right, not quite right. If we don't pay it back, people will think that we have no money, so we have to pay it back with a lot of fanfare, so that everyone knows that we have money..." Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table , said, "...But we really don't have any money now, so we need to borrow again..."

  Cui Hou nodded, and said: "It's not difficult to pay back the money, but you have to borrow it..." The money of the gentry did not fall from the sky, and no one would let go easily without enough benefits. The last time it was traded with glass, this time it must be an excuse that won't work.

"We don't want to keep the five baht money in our hands. Now we need to turn these money into materials as much as possible...Borrowing is also borrowing food and grass, borrowing materials, not coins, and the most important thing is to remember the specific amount to be used after the agreement is written. The coins come and go to repay..." Fei Qian is going to take advantage of this stage of the chaos before it starts, and dig the corners of these trench buddies fiercely again.

  Cui Hou understood a little bit, his small eyes blinked with a bright yellow light, and tentatively said: "My lord, will the price of grain and grass rise further?"

   "That's right... this matter must not be leaked..." Fei Qian didn't want to explain too much, because even the people of the whole Han Dynasty didn't know as much about this stuff as he does now.

   Cui Hou nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "Don't worry, my lord! Don't worry! Then, what should I use... um, an argument or a reason?"

   Feiqian nodded, motioned Cui Hou to wait for a while, and then asked the guards to fetch something and put it in the hall.

  Cui Hou couldn't help but feel a little pale when he saw it...

   In fact, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, each school looked down on the other...

   Korean Han Feizi: "There is a man from the state of Lu who is good at weaving hemp shoes, and his wife is good at weaving white silk..."

   Confucius of Lu State: "There is a man from Chu State named Ye Gong..."

   Lao Tzu of Chu State: "...I won't argue with you. Anyway, we will die in a hundred years, and we will die if we don't fight, so why should we fight..."

   ...So the earliest joker was Mr. Zhong Ni...

   Confucius (the first author) and his disciple (the second author) and his reincarnated disciple (the third author) also jointly wrote a famous anecdote book.

   They often repost other people's quotations.

   Sometimes just repost, just say "Master X said:..."

   Sometimes after reposting, one or two comments are added. Just add a sentence after reposting: \'...\'
