When it comes to going into battle to kill the enemy and deploying troops in formation, General Guan Da can defeat Feng Tibi with one hand.

But when it comes to plotting against the country, the ten generals of Guan are no match for King Feng Gui.

General Guan, who lived in the Three Kingdoms era and was born as a girl, had never seen such a strategy?

But seeing the disbelief on her face, he asked in surprise:

"What if the Wu people really want to forge it themselves? Wouldn't that mean they are endorsing the enemy?"

"No, I've figured it out."

Governor Feng shook his head and said confidently:

"Taking Hanzhongye as an example, the cost of making a pair of armor for cavalrymen and horses five years ago was at least three times the current cost."

Having said this, Governor Feng looked at Guan Ji with a strange smile on his face:

"Xijun, do you know what this means? It means that even if I sell it at a 30% discount, I can still double the profit."

"Xijun, tell me, if it were you, would you rather spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a pair of armor yourself, or would you rather spend thirty to fifty thousand dollars to buy a pair of armor?"

Obviously, Governor Feng had already understood the trap of this kind of transaction from what he said before, but after hearing this account, General Guan was still shaken.

She wanted to say that she would rather spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a pair of armor, but the most critical question came: where would the money come from?

"Without money, everything is negotiable."

Governor Feng spread his hands and said, "The treasury of the Later Han Dynasty was only about 8 million yuan a year. In the early years when there were no woolen materials and brown sugar, the annual tax revenue of the Han Dynasty was only 1 million yuan."

"As for the Kingdom of Wu, let's calculate it leniently. It costs three million taels. To make a pair of armor, it costs 150,000 yuan, that's 150 taels."

After trading with Wu for so many years, Governor Feng knew the approximate amount of Wu's treasury income, even if he didn't know the exact amount.

"If it's three thousand pairs, let's calculate it as 450,000 yuan, which will take up 15% of the income of Wu's treasury."

"This is just the price of the armor. What about the money for the war horses? What about the money for raising the horses? What about the money for maintaining the armor? What about the money and food for the soldiers?"

"If you calculate it this way, the three thousand armored cavalry will cost at least nearly 30% of Wu's treasury at once, and they will also spend a lot of money on food and maintenance every year."

"After a big battle, how can a war horse survive? Then we will have to spend more money..."

Between the salaries of the noble officials in the country and the expenses of the 100,000 soldiers under his command, which one is free of money?

Not to mention that the ability to resist natural disasters these days is weak, and Jiangnan is a water town. You are not allowed to leave some money and food to deal with disasters and so on?

This three million treasury income is treasury income, not special military expenditure.

In fact, it is still a big question whether Wu Guo has an income of three million yuan.

"Haha," Governor Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Even if Sun Quan is willing to give it up, can he get it?"

"If Sun Quan was rich, he wouldn't have minted a batch of fifty coins a few years ago."

Minting big money means that the treasury has no money, which means that the country has to cut leeks.

In later generations, "Look, sister" is the most typical.

If they are short of money, they will print green votes to harvest the wealth of the world and at the same time export inflation.

The same goes for making big money.

It’s just that the scope of harvesting is smaller, limited to domestic officials and common people.

Anyway, the Xinghan Society always only charges five baht for its transactions with Wu State, otherwise it would exchange for special products of Wu State, such as pearls, jade and tortoise shells.

Of course, it is indispensable that Feng Huishou calls for water jade, a big male donkey, etc.

Later, bills from the Nanxiang Reserve Bureau began to flow into Jingzhou.

Up to now, banknotes have become one of the mainstream currencies used for bulk trading of goods in Jingzhou.

Although it is not the legal official currency of Wu State, it is endorsed by the Xinghan Society!

Nanxiang also masters the most advanced papermaking technology, printing technology, and ink formulas.

A batch of castor oil was planted this year, and Nanxiang has started to try to prepare new ink using castor oil according to the instructions of Governor Feng.

Wu Guo didn't even have access to the original printing technology. Even if he wanted to forge it, there was no way he could do it.

Besides, the ticket is so convenient to carry, isn’t it delicious?

Is big money as hard as money?

Anyway, in the eyes of many people in Jingzhou, the "Daquan Fifty" is definitely not as hard as the bills issued by the Nanxiang Reserve Bureau.

After Guan Ji heard this routine, she suddenly realized something. She looked at Feng Jishi strangely:

"You expected that Sun Quan would have no money, so you asked the people of Wu to trade their shipbuilding and ship-operating skills?"

"It's just as you said, they exchanged the skills of shipbuilding and maneuvering for the skills of armored cavalry, and exchanged boats for war horses. Then what did they exchange for armored weapons?"

Governor Feng smiled evilly:

"Then let Sun Quan continue to mint big money. If fifty is not enough, then mint something bigger. Five hundred is also fine. If five hundred is not enough, then mint one thousand or two thousand..."

If it weren't for this man being his own Alang, if it weren't for General Guan's ass sitting on the big man's side.

After hearing what King Feng Gui said, she had no choice but to punch the vicious guy in front of her.

The late emperor only minted a batch of hundreds of coins, and he almost forced the aristocratic families of Shu to rebel.

If Sun Quan was asked to mint five hundred coins, how many wealthy families in Wu would be offended?

If you cast less, it can still be called an emergency, and you can barely control the consequences.

If it is true as King Feng Gui said, the armor of the three thousand armored cavalry alone will take up nearly 15% of the income of the Wu treasury.

So how much money must be minted to support it?

"Don't look at me like that." Governor Feng smiled at General Guan, "I can't believe that Sun Quan originally wanted to make a lot of money?"

"The grievances between the Sun family and the Jiangdong family are huge. Otherwise, why would Sun Quan be so cruel to the Zhang family?"

In fact, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Wu were more or less kidnapped by aristocratic families in the process of establishing their countries.

It's just that the big man was the first to get rid of the constraints of the aristocratic family.

After the Wei State established the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system", it had already announced the inevitable arrival of aristocratic family politics.

As for Wu State, it was torn between needing support from aristocratic families and suppressing aristocratic families.

The root cause lies in the fact that when Sun Ce took control of Jiangdong, he killed the great clans of Jiangdong and shed a river of blood.

This caused the Sun family to form a bloody feud with the Jiangdong clan.

This resulted in Sun Quan needing the support of the Jiangdong family, but deep down he did not dare to fully trust them.

But then again, if Sun Quan hadn't been cruel to the Zhang family, one of the four surnames in Wu County, how could he have made a nail in Wu Guoqi so easily?

After hearing King Feng Gui's plan, Guan Gui Queen couldn't help but feel happy in her heart:

Fortunately, this guy is his own Alang. If Wei and Wu get hold of him, the small amount of land in Shu that the Han Dynasty had in the past few years may not be enough for him.

Just when the Ghost King and Ghost Queen were squatting in the backyard discussing national affairs, Zhang Xiaosi rushed in:

"Urgent report from Luoyang!"

Governor Feng and General Guan looked at each other, and a thought came to their minds:

Something happened again in Luoyang?

Zhang Xiaosi sat down on the chair, and before he could catch his breath, he said:

"The false queen mother of Wei is dead."

"Queen Mother? Didn't Bian die a few years ago? Was it the eighth year of Jianxing, or..."

Feng Yong was halfway through speaking when he immediately realized, "Queen Guo?"

Zhang Xingyi nodded:

"Yes, it is the puppet queen established by Cao Pi, the Guo family."

"This is not a long-lived one. It is much shorter-lived than the Bian family..."

Governor Feng calculated with his fingers. As soon as he said this, Zhang Xiaosi glared at him:

"What a great opportunity. Are you still concerned about her long life or short life?"

Governor Feng was stunned: "What chance?"

"There is a rumor in Luoyang that it was Cao Rui who pressed him several times about Zhen's affairs, and Guo finally died of worry."

When Feng Yong heard this, he immediately became interested:

"Is there anything else?"

Mrs. Zhen, that's Cao Zhi's sister-in-law... Oh, that's wrong. Later generations were called the goddess of Luoshui, so Feng Jishi was naturally a little interested.

"It's the news sent by Mi Zhao."

"Oh, Mi Zhao seems to have entered the state!"

Governor Feng touched his chin and said, "Last year Shanyang Gong died, and this year Guo died. Judging from this, Cao Rui's life is not easy."
