Chapter 372 Fiscal Planning

Xue Xiang also reacted immediately: "Hehehe, it's the old man who thinks too much......"

Su You said with a smile: "So we have to make a few more detours, although we can't make the price of salt lower than that of Xixia salt, but Su You has stored a lot of snow salt in Shuzhong, plus the measure of refining and refining salt, we have caused several salt price fluctuations in a short period of time in local areas, which is completely doable." ”

Xue Xiang's eyes lit up, turmoil is an opportunity!

"And then? How? ”

Su You said: "Combined with the issuance of Shu banknotes, after the price of salt fluctuates several times, the surrounding barbarians will know that Shu banknotes are actually more stable than salt, plus they are easy to carry, the supply is sufficient, and there is a credit guarantee, so they will naturally gradually use Shu banknotes to trade." ”

Xue Xiang paced back and forth in the room: "Western Xia smuggling, mostly copper coins, when Yanbian is familiar with the use of Shu banknotes, it is the time when copper coins are cut off from flowing into Western Xia!" ”

Then he was so excited that his beard trembled: "If the Xixia people dare to accept Shu banknotes, we can give him a turmoil, the difference between Shu banknotes and copper coins is that it is a credit currency, and its own value is in the salt warehouse in Shuzhong." Hahaha, unless the Tangut people can hit Shuzhong, we have a way to turn the salt money in their hands into a stack of waste paper! That's what you're talking about an economic offensive! ”

Su You said with a smile: "Exactly, when the time comes, we will upgrade the Shu banknotes and exchange the old and the new, so that the Xixia people can cry bitterly with the old banknotes." However, Xue Gong, the people of Western Xia are not stupid, and it is estimated that people will not be able to do this kind of good thing. ”

Xue Xiang stroked his beard: "Even if you don't go on the set, blocking the way for copper coins to flow into Western Xia, it is also a great achievement!" Trick! What a miracle! ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "There is another benefit......

Xue Xiang raised his hand: "There is another benefit, the familiar use of Shu banknotes is equivalent to putting the fate in our hands, with the leather processing industry, they have become our raw material suppliers." ”

Su You said: "Yes, this is called a community of interests, the benefits they get from the Great Song Dynasty are far greater than the benefits they get from the Western Xia, and they will naturally turn their hearts to the Great Song Dynasty." In addition, he was facing the threat of the Tangut people, so he could only choose to fight against the Tangut with the Great Song. ”

Xue Xiang stroked his palms and laughed, so happy that the rough words came out: "Ma Zheng!" Lao Tzu's Ma Zheng can take this opportunity to open up the situation! Community, how can you do it if you don't communicate with each other! Hahahaha......"

Su You arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Ming Gong, seventy miles southwest of Weizhou, on the tea horse road leading to Qingtang, there is a place called Wolf Crossing." The geographical location is extremely superior, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han dynasties, it is the land of horse grazing. Deng Ai of the Three Kingdoms also crossed the beach from here out of Yangguan, entered Longnan, and attacked Shuzhong from the official pavilion. The water and grass here are abundant and beautiful, and there is Weizhou as a barrier, and the land is ten thousand hectares, which is enough for pasture. ”

Xue Xiang couldn't believe it: "How is it possible?" How can I not know about this treasure? ”

Su You said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for this exercise, the herdsmen and veterans of the Second Forest Department would have been guided, and I wouldn't have known that there was such a large grassland in the valley at the junction of Minwei and Wei. The barracks built for the Hoan Army are now completely useless. ”

"This time, I got 87,000 sheep, 17,000 cattle, and 1,300 horses. How much are you going to want? ”

Xue Xiang's eyes widened: "Mingrun, what are you talking about?" What do you mean by how much? Horses are all wanted! Cow all! Sheep...... Forget about the sheep! Cattle and sheep dare to leave one, don't blame the old man for visiting you! ”

Su You smiled: "Ming Gong is overjoyed, right?" Can you afford it? ”

Today's cattle prices are five times at a time, and horses are even more exaggerated.

The price of horses in the Western Xia Horse in the Qingli is 35,000 for the third class and 28,000 for the fourth class, so many cattle and horses can directly hollow out Xue Xiang's salt hoarding.

Xue Xiang suddenly had a bitter face: "This ...... Mingrun, think of ideas, you are so smart, give ideas of ideas. ”

Su You said with a smile: "The economic problem, we still solve it by economic methods." ”

……

"History of the Song Dynasty": "In the first year of Zhiping, Xue Xiang asked the Yuan, Weizhou, and Deshun armies to buy horses, and the Yongxing army raised horses. For example, Yuanzhou, Deshun Army and Weizhou were sentenced to the same sentence, and three years were in office, and the number of horses in the city was the best.

At the beginning of the country, there were only more than 5,000 horses.

Gidian and the nearby counties, the inner and outer prison supervisors, a total of 68,000 hectares, and the military classes are 3900 hectares.

For a long time, the officials have lost their status, the boundaries are unknown, and the waste is not frequent, and there are many impostors.

The supervisor raised horses in Shayuan, and he got 300 foals at the age of 300, and cost 40 million.

To the cadres of the desperate, especially good at business and wealth, calculations are exhaustive, and intentions are to the end.

Zhaoling recovering the soil, counting 500,000 yuan of money and grain, the three divisions can not supply 100 million, will be moved to the edge of Shaanxi into the salt in Yongan County.

Xiang Chen Wu can't, thinking that he is a dishonest business trip, so he cites the number of things he can't offer.

Please reprimand the idle land to the people and collect the rent.

It is placed in the original and Wei, and the horses of the straight city are envied by the salt, so the horses are one year old to 10,000 horses.

He also said: 'Today, please Yuyuan, Weizhou, and Zhenrong Army, and the officials will use salt money to make it easy to make it easy to return to Shu. The Shu merchants led the salt to Qi and Yong, and changed the prison silver into Shu, and the two got their convenience. ’

In the year of Xiang Cao, the group of pastors asked for tens of thousands of salt, horses, stalks, and millet to be entered, and the people were not endowed, and their lessons were the most. ”

"Shuzhong Miscellaneous Records": "In the first year of Zhiping, you Shuai Wei said that Shaanxi was transferred to Xue Xiangxing's financial plan, the preparation of salt affairs, and the large circulation of Shu banknotes for the city. So that the court gets horses, the barbarians get goods, and Shujia gets salt.

The salt is rerefined by the Shu method, sold in Qi and Yong, and supplied to the Beijing division.

The quality is as clean as snow, the taste is better than green salt, and there is no adulteration. Every time the market smells the salt truck, they all come out of the empty alleys, competing for purchases and hoarding.

The rest becomes soy sauce, tempeh, mustard and other things, and is sold in Daxiangguo Temple.

The court has heard of it, and it is good at its benefits ......"

It's a carnival of capital and technology.

……

Jiezhou Yanze, one hundred and twenty miles. The halogen is red, under the version of the spring. There is a spring in the middle, and it is a sweet spring.

To the north, there is the Wuxian River.

The water of the great brine shall not be sweetened with the spring and shall not be turned into salt.

If only the salt water enters, the salt will not reconclude, and it will be a disaster for the salt ze.

It is better to build a levee to prevent it than to guard against thieves.

Gai Wu salty is turbid water, and when it enters the brine, it silts the brine veins, and the salt does not become different.

"Hedong Salt Law Preparation, Salt Pond Gate Victory": "Xuanyuan's Zhu Chi is especially in the field of Zhuolu, the blood enters the pond and turns into brine, and there is Chi You City in the south of the pond today, which is said to be its mourning place. ”

"Confucius Three Dynasties" contains: "The Yellow Emperor killed him in Zhongji, and the head of Chi You's body was different, and its blood turned into brine, and the salt pool was solved." ”

Su You once guessed that the battle of Hanquan was a war for control of salt.

However, the method of relying on natural collection of crystallization in Jiezhou Yanchi is not in line with the appetite of Su oil.

In order to allow Xue Du to have more money to buy horses, and also to allow himself to sell more Shu goods, Su You sent a chemical team to help Xie Zhou engage in brine and salt extraction.

This method is actually very simple, pick the brine clay to the cement floor, and then collect the reed grass around the salt field and burn it into ash and spread it on the brine soil, and then spray water on it, and after a few days, the potassium ions in the grass ash will replace the sodium ions in the brine earth.

The upper layer of grass ash is scraped off, and the crystals of table salt grow in the lower layer of grass ash, which is shaped like grass buds, which is called "salt planting method".

The ash salt is collected, melted, and recrystallized, and it is quite pure table salt.

This is not Su You's own invention, it is a trick played by the people of the Eastern Qi people in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their purpose in using this method is to remove excess impurities in seawater salt.

The concentration of brine springs in the pond is so high that if there is no freshwater spring, salt will be formed, and salt will be prevented from further crystallization, so there is no problem with this method.

When a few forks of salt are planted, there is a large amount of potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate, potassium chloride, and some sodium chloride left in the brine.

This thing is a natural artifact for treating constipation, and it can also treat hemangiomas.

However, Suyou's chemical team still led the workers to add water to the brine and filter it, pour it into the brine tank, and use the step-by-step crystallization method to make and extract various crystals.

The method is very rough, the four substances contain the other three impurities, fortunately, there is no intention to engage in fine chemicals, in addition to sodium chloride, two potassium salts can be directly made into potassium fertilizer, and the remaining sodium sulfate - is miscanthus nitrate.
