Before the workshop was established, a large number of orders were received.

The advantage of an exclusive business is that you pay the full amount first, and then pick up the goods on the scheduled date.

Fortunately, the brick factory and the cement factory are not too high-tech things, they are nothing more than two points, the scale is large enough, and the labor is enough, which is enough.

The brick factory is nothing more than digging soil, making billets, drying, sending it into the kiln, and then igniting and heating, sealing the kiln, after a period of time, after its natural cooling, it can be directly moved out and shipped.

Comparatively speaking, the cement plant has worked a lot harder.

Raw materials need to be manually crushed with a sledgehammer, the more crushed the better, and then take it to burn until it can become ashes with a slight pinch, and before burning, it is necessary to mix different raw material ratios together and take it to burn.

"Your Majesty, this is really like robbing money......" Zhang Cang touched his head that was losing his hair, and sighed with excitement on his face.

Rich......

Really rich......

According to this posture, the construction of the West City and the Northwest City will not be a problem at all.

And soon, the palace will be able to start construction.

"What is like grabbing money, this is the only way to develop the economy, and the days after this will definitely get better and better!" Wang Bu glanced at Zhang Cang speechlessly, if you can't speak, you can say a few words.

The affairs of the imperial court, can it be called robbery?

"What Your Majesty said is that at least 100,000 people are needed to work in the four places of the brick factory, the cement factory, the sand field, and the coal mine, which is equivalent to every month, the imperial court will send out millions of wages, even if only half of them are in circulation, it is also very beneficial for the economy." Xiao Hepi said with a smile.

I was really annoyed by the idea that the king was not hungry.

He had never seen such a brazen emperor!

This special mother's is simply eating inside and out.

There was nothing to do at night, Xiao He hid on the bed and silently broke his fingers to calculate the account.

An acre of land costs 200 yuan, and to build a house with three houses, it takes about 5,000 bricks (big green bricks, not red bricks in later generations), and sells them for 500 yuan, costs 100 yuan, and makes a net profit of 400 yuan.

Six or seven hundred tiles, this cost is even lower, seventy or eighty pieces are only one penny, and fifteen pieces are one penny, and the net profit is more than thirty yuan.

Cement 100 stones, sold for 50 yuan, the cost is less than 5 yuan, and it is a net profit of 45 yuan.

You think that's the end of it?

Far from it.

All of them are added up, and then counting the labor, these courts are subject to a nuclear price, and then they are taxed according to the amount of the transaction, fifteen taxes one.

Therefore, a courtyard of one acre of land, the imperial court can earn more than 670 yuan, if a courtyard is calculated according to the net profit of 200 yuan, basically in a courtyard of one acre, the imperial court can make a net profit of 700 yuan.

Well, basically more than half of the house price was earned by the imperial court.

When Xiao He thought that this was the end, Wang was not hungry but smiled.

Sao Nian, you're too naïve, aren't you?

"I'm going to set up a mint bureau to be dedicated to minting!" Wang Bu looked at everyone and said directly.

At present, this is an ordinary meeting, the kind attended by all the bigwigs of the three provinces and eight ministries.

"Well, it's time to set up!" Zhang Liang nodded, as if to say that it should have been established a long time ago.

The Han Kingdom has been gone for three years soon, and it has been using half a tael of the Qin Dynasty, how shivering!

"Hmm......" The bigwigs nodded in agreement.

But minting is not a simple matter, first of all, in what form and how much weight is used.

Why is Qin Banliang called Qin Banliang?

That's because his weight is half a tael, so it's called half a tael.

"In view of the current constraints on the number of coins, I have thought about it, and the new coins will weigh five baht each, and the form will still be half a tael, and at the same time, the inner and outer edges will be used to prevent counterfeiting, and you will think of a year name, and when the time comes, the year name will be minted on the coin, and the left and right layouts, and the time of minting will be ...... up and down," said Wang Bu Balabala.

This problem will have to be solved sooner or later.

The weight of Qin Banliang is a little too heavy, which is not very convenient for the circulation of currency, especially after the development of the economy, it is even more inconvenient.

As for why five baht?

First of all, five baht is still a unit of weight.

One tael is equal to twenty-four baht, and the weight of five baht is about 3.5 grams.

If you say you haven't touched five baht, you don't have any idea about this weight?

It doesn't matter, if you touch the currency of the Qing Dynasty, it is the same, take Kangxi Tongbao as an example, the size and weight of the two are almost the same.

Because the Liu Han Dynasty did not have a name, it directly continued the name of the Qin Dynasty that used weight as money, so it had the title of five baht money.

And Wang Buyu decided to use the year name plus the year of minting to print it.

The use of internal and external edge technology also draws lessons from the Liu Han Dynasty.

In the beginning, some lawbreakers cut the Qin half taels, and then the excess copper was used to mint coins, which greatly disrupted the monetary economy in the early Han Dynasty.

After Lu Hou found out about this problem, he used the external edge and the way of printing the word five baht to solve this problem.

Of course, preventing counterfeiting is only one of the reasons.

One becomes two, and there are two more baht, isn't he fragrant?

If the number of coins is not enough, it will not be able to solve the barter situation, and on another level, this will directly affect the development of the country's tax economy.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have to take back half of the people's taels in advance, right? This is not easy to do......" Zhang Liang thought about it, if the weight remains the same, it will be good to change it in the future.

But the weight has been more than doubled, and although the anti-counterfeiting settings have been added, there are some things that cannot be banned.

"It doesn't matter, issue an edict prohibiting private coinage, if found, it will be the same crime as treason! Whistleblowers, 10,000 dollars! In addition, from the following year, only new coins will be allowed to circulate in the market! Wang Bu said calmly.

Naturally, there is no need for others to say much about the harmfulness of privately minted currency.

Just because of this incident, how much did the Han Dynasty pay?

At most, the five-baht coin reform in the early Han Dynasty was that the imperial court took back the right to mint coins and banned private minting.

But don't forget, there are still a few bigwigs who are authorized by the imperial court to mint coins, and it is these bigwigs who almost overturned the old bottom of the Han Dynasty.

Naturally, Wang Bu was hungry and would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this year is not enough, right?" Zhang Liang asked again.

"Enough!" Wang Buxian smiled slightly, and then took out a new copper coin from his body.

The style has been designed a long time ago, and then he said, "It's just one year now......

Groove ......

It was premeditated......

Dog Emperor ......

Ahh

Obviously a shrewd emperor!

Since the internal and external layout has gradually spread out, the ministers seem to have discovered something.

Wang Bu is not hungry and seems to be more and more obsessed with making money.

The happiest person is, of course, Zhang Cang, who has money in the household department, so he doesn't panic in his heart.

Except for Zhang Cang, almost everyone else was not very happy.

The emperor only cares about making money, what should he do with government affairs?

I want to go to admonish, but if I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to affect government affairs?

Think about it again.

Alas, we ministers seem to be very useless.

The emperor said that he wanted to expand Luoyang City, and the ministers began to scratch their heads, and there was not enough money and all kinds of difficulties.

With a wave of his hand, the problem of money was solved, and the problem of people was also solved.

The emperor said that he wanted to mint coins, but they hadn't thought about it yet, and the emperor even took out the template, and now they were waiting for them to think of an era name.

Han Xin said that he would study some cavalry combat.

The emperor gave him a horse swordsman, but his own casualties were pitiful, and the other party who cut it turned on his back, and his parents did not recognize it.

Hey, with such a shrewd and capable emperor, what can we do?
