0735 Catastrophe
While several people were talking, the soldiers had already taken down a number of boxes from the ship. As soon as the box was opened, the dock was shining with golden light and silver light for a while! I could see that the eyes of the other people on the dock were straight!
Because it was difficult to get together 500,000 taels of silver for a while, the Tokugawa family also paid a lot of gold to offset it. And Liu Pei is happy to do this. Because there are many volcanoes in the country, minerals are relatively rich, resulting in cheap gold and silver in the market. In the Ming Dynasty, it is gold and silver.
In other words, the more gold the Tokugawa family paid, the more silver taels they paid. On average, one tael of gold could be exchanged for eight to nine taels of silver. In Chinese mainland, one tael of gold can be exchanged for about ten taels of silver. Up to 123 taels! So there's a huge price difference.
Fang Degang excitedly went from box to box to inspect the fineness of gold and silver. While muttering, he said, "This money came at a good time!" ”
After looking through a few boxes, Fang Degang also stopped. Liu Pei saw that he had stopped and said, "How is it?" This time, if you have money in your hand, you will have the confidence to work, right? ”
Fang Degang grinned and said, "Handsome, this money is just an emergency!" ”
After speaking, Fang De just started to break his fingers and settle accounts for Liu Pei one by one. After winning the battle, the soldiers were rewarded, and pensions were paid. The stocks of pig iron and gunpowder are gone, they need to be replenished, the food is insufficient, the orders placed to the merchants have been paid one after another, the slaves need a large amount of materials to settle the settlement, and the shipyard timber and various materials have to be purchased......
Counting and counting, Liu Pei grabbed Fang Degang's hand, and said with a face like earth: "Don't count it anymore!" If I continue to do so, I'll need to go out and rob it!" ”
Fang Degang laughed and said, "Not only that, but there is also one biggest expense that I haven't had time to calculate. Even Brother Xiangfan's cavalry still has a large amount of grain reserves, and they have to send a batch of silver taels to them. Speaking of which, I just want to ask Da Shuai, what is it to invest a lot of money in him to buy grain? I have given him a large amount of silver, as the commander commanded, but I don't know why? ”
Hear Fang Degang
Asked so, Liu Pei said proudly: "Let me sell it!" Now please Quy Nhon brother guess? ”
Fang Degang said dissatisfiedly: "Dashuai, this is the right thing, what is the sale?" ”
Liu Pei smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you!" Brother Quy Nhon, what do you think you lack most now besides silver? ”
Fang Degang said without thinking about it: "Population! Dashuai drove a large number of slaves, even at the expense of the lives of slaves, and opened up a large number of farmlands and farms, which has exceeded our current needs. ”
Liu Pei sighed and said: "According to the predictions of those old guys of the Academy of Sciences, in the first half of next year, there will be an unprecedented drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi!" At that time, I am afraid that it will be a scene of displaced people rising everywhere and changing children and eating! ”
Fang Degang was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Is that really the case? ”
But then he thought about it, slapped his face and laughed and said, "It turns out that the road opened up by Brother Xiangfan is for this matter!" If this is the case, a large number of displaced people can directly enter Shandong, and then gradually enrich to the Ryukyus and Taiwan! This is a happy event, handsome! ”
Liu Pei tilted his head, looked at Fang Degang with a smile and said, "Brother Guiren, if I tell you that there may be millions of displaced people next year, will you still laugh?" ”
At that moment, Fang Degang immediately lost his smile, and his face was pale and speechless! After half a ring, he said, "Grain!" How can I give them so much food? ”
Liu Pei patted Fang Degang's arm and said, "We're going to have a hard time for a year!" Fortunately, however, I have arranged for Brother Xiang Fan to raise grain and grass vigorously, and my tenants have had a good harvest this year, so the grain reserves should be able to meet most of their needs. Even if there is a partial gap, it will not be too large. However, the resettlement of displaced people needs to be coordinated and arranged by your government affairs council! ”
Fang Degang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Bitter! Bitter also! ”
Then Fang Degang waved his sleeves and said, "Since this is the case, I have to hurry up and deploy personnel to prepare!" It's been less than half a year, it's really a tight time and a heavy task! ”
Liu Pei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bring you from the Wa Kingdom."
A group of widows will come back and hand them over to you! You can also recruit displaced people from the Wa Kingdom and North Korea. Buying a batch of criminals from the shogunate back! Don't scruple to use these people, use them for me to die! In short, we must open up enough farmland and residential land according to the time and quantity! And let me tell you clearly, I will only allow a maximum of 20% of the population to die in this group of homeless people! ”
Fang Degang shouted loudly: "Twenty percent? Isn't it difficult for you to be a strong man? Not to mention starvation, but more than two people died of illness on the way! ”
Liu Pei said arrogantly: "I don't care about this!" Anyway, it's on you. The military can cooperate if necessary. And from now on, there will be no more wars except for the navy going out to patrol the seas and fight pirates! All our strength must be devoted to the resettlement of the displaced people! ”
Fang Degang nodded helplessly and said, "I'll do my best!" ”
Subsequently, Liu Pei left some of the silver in Taiwan, and he escorted most of the silver back to Shandong. As soon as the silver arrived in Shandong, it was spent like a stream and exchanged for a large amount of grain and material reserves. After getting enough silver, Liu Pei's industrial system began to rotate steadily!
Liu Pei also ordered that all the materials would not be in production after the warehouse was replenished. With the exception of the shipyards, everyone is engaged in the work of clearing the wasteland.
Liu Pei knows that this resettlement of displaced people is a huge test for him, and it is also the foundation for him to spread his wings and take off. If he can really accept a million displaced people and successfully resettle them, then he will have 100,000 strong soldiers available in his hands in the future! As long as you recuperate for a few years, it is no longer a dream to sweep the world!
After Liu Pei returned to Shandong, he finished handling the government affairs in hand. After losing Wang Ya and her son for a period of time, Liu Pei returned to modern times through the time and space gate. I haven't seen Yu Lina for more than half a year, which makes Liu Pei miss it a lot.
After Liu Pei returned to the present, he changed his clothes in the warehouse, and the car went to a club that he frequented to take a good bath. Wait until dawn to go back to your villa,
Liu Pei entered the door familiarly, and was thinking about giving Yu Lina a surprise or something, and suddenly remembered that Yu Lina had a female bodyguard! If you touch the wrong room, it will be embarrassing!
