"Reclamation of Nanzhong?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's heart moved.

His gaze looked at Feng Yong, but there was no focus in his eyes, and he subconsciously played with the chess pieces in his hand, "Tanglang County in Nanzhong is desolate, and the copper mines in it will take at least three years to produce output. ”

"If you want to mine the dumb spring on the edge of the Shanghai water, it will take five years to say the least, because you still have to open a plank road in the mountain. The amount of money and food that will be spent during this period is not a small amount. ”

Feng Yong knew what he meant when he heard this, and quickly moved his position, leaned over, and began to launch Feng Langjun's stunt: clever words.

"Prime Minister, now I use wool cloth as collateral because everyone recognizes this. After all, woolen cloth is a good thing, and no one has a way to weave it except us, so it is scarce, and this is valuable. ”

"But there will always be people who will learn to weave wool cloth in the future, and when the time comes, I am afraid that no one will recognize this ticket, so if you want to keep this ticket valuable, you have to let the court use copper as collateral in the end."

When the wool trade with Liangzhou is normalized and the workshops in Nanzheng are normalized, the output of woolen cloth will inevitably continue to grow.

When the wool cloth grows to a certain extent, its scarcity will gradually disappear, and then the woolen cloth ticket will definitely encounter a crisis.

Therefore, the return to the precious metal standard is the normal form of money.

And before this happens, it would be best if a national credit system for paper money could be established - after all, paper money is convenient.

It is not only convenient for daily carrying and use, but also convenient for the imperial court to collect more seigniorage.

The cost of paper money is much lower than that of copper coins.

"Now we can take advantage of the value of woolen cloth, and then think of raising some money and grain, and open the copper in Tanglang County as soon as possible, so that we will not be afraid that no one will recognize the ticket in the future."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was moved, "How to raise it?" ”

Feng Tujiao took a look, is this a drama? Hurriedly moved his butt and sat closer again.

"Prime Minister, I have a not very mature idea, please consider it for me."

"Say."

Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Tu's flattering appearance, and thought to himself, who did you learn from the appearance of the fortunate minister?

If someone else dared to show such an appearance in front of him, he would have reprimanded him a long time ago. It's just that somehow, he always has more patience with this kid than others.

"Ahem, that's right. We can spread the news that the imperial court is preparing to mine copper ore in Tanglang County, and then use the woolen cloth produced by the two workshops in Hanzhong as a guarantee to raise money and grain from the big families in Shuzhong. Agree on a few points of profit, and when the copper is mined, I will return it to them......"

"No! In this way, where will the face of the imperial court go? The court borrowed debts from the people, and there has been no such rule since ancient times! ”

Zhuge Liang flatly refused.

The big man is gone, where is the face?

Feng Yong sighed, "Prime Minister, please listen to me first." ”

"Tell me, I'll listen, I'll see what you say."

"Prime Minister, if you are three points today, Yizhou is tired, and this Cheng is in danger of survival. Cao thieves now occupy eight points of the world, and the remaining two points are the Han and Eastern Wu. If the Han Dynasty is less than a part of the southwest, how can it destroy the thieves and prosper the Han? ”

"Therefore, if you want to revive the Han Dynasty, you must not follow the rules and regulations, and you have to find another way."

"Also, if the prime minister wants to go on a northern expedition, he needs the concerted efforts of the Han people. However, most of the Yizhou clans have bad intentions, or have other plans, or want to be on the other side. ”

"And the Cao thief in the north, since Cao Pi established the Nine Grades Official Law, the family has gradually forgotten the Han and embraced the Cao thief. If you go down to the eight-point world with half of the world, how difficult is it? ”

"So we want to change the attitude of the Yizhou family and let them take the initiative to contribute to the revival of the Han family."

Feng Yong talked a long time, feeling a little dry, plus he sweated a few times just now, he only felt extremely thirsty, picked up the bowl and drank the tea after a few clicks, he still felt that he couldn't quench his thirst, and he wanted to reach out to take the kettle and pour water.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang actually stretched out his hand first, lifted the kettle, and got up to pour a bowl of water for Feng Yong.

Feng Yong suddenly felt flattered, and hurriedly got up.

Zhuge Liang pressed his shoulder and said softly, "You continue." ”

"Yes, yes."

Then Feng Tujiao said "sigh" in his heart, Mom, the prime minister personally poured water for me, this honor, I don't know how many big men can get it?

Adou hasn't gotten it either, has he?

Isn't this higher than the emperor's salary?

The turtle was beautiful in his heart, but he heard the prime minister on the other side suddenly knock on the table, "Go on!" ”

"Oh, okay, go on."

Feng Yong thought about it and held it for a while, but he was stuck.

It's over, patronizing is so excited that I forgot what to say.

"Prime Minister, uh, just now...... Speaking of which? ”

Feng Yong thought about it for a long time and didn't think of it, so he had to ask whimsically.

"The great family of Shuzhong."

The temper of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty at this time was surprisingly good.

"Oh, yes, the Shuzhong family. Prime Minister, I think so, in the copper mine in Tanglang County, we raised some money and grain from the big families in Shuzhong, and promised to give them some profits, so that they could eat the sweetness. ”

"The world is profitable, and with the guarantee of ranches and workshops in Hanzhong, most people must be willing to borrow. In this way, we can easily raise money and food to speed up the mining of copper in Tanglang County, and if this can be done, we can make an example. ”

"Then, when the prime minister goes on a northern expedition, if the money and grain are not enough, you can promise them to buy and sell wool from Liangzhou and other places and learn the method of weaving wool cloth as collateral, and they will definitely be able to prepare a lot of money and grain."

In this way, the Yizhou family, in order to make a profit, will definitely vigorously help the prime minister's Northern Expedition. Someone has to make a precedent. When Guan Zhong opened a woman's house, wasn't there no precedent? ”

The national debt originated from national wars.

As long as the indigenous families of Yizhou are tied to the chariot of the Northern Expedition, are you afraid that they will lag behind?

After listening to Feng Yong's words, Zhuge Liang didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at Feng Yong fixedly.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty does not understand what a central bank is, and he may not understand what financial leverage is, let alone the invisible hand and the visible hand in the market.

But Huang Yueying and Zhuge Qiao have a share of the pastures and workshops in Hanzhong, so he has a rough estimate of the pastures and workshops in Hanzhong.

He also knew how much tax the Han could pay in a year.

But in the second half of this year, the behavior of the kid in front of him completely subverted his cognition.

Soldiers, the country's major affairs.

Conquest has always been a matter of labor and money.

This year's Southern Expedition was quite normal at the beginning, but in the end, after being mixed with a certain turtle, it began to evolve into a big carnival of honors.

A certain turtle waved a ticket printed on paper, from Nanzhong to Jincheng, and then from Jincheng to Hanzhong, countless people moved with his command.

Labor becomes a ticket, a ticket becomes woolen cloth, and woolen cloth becomes money or food, or something else.

Nearly a million dollars of money quietly came out of the air, but it swept the entire Han surgingly.

The Han received the equivalent of more than half a year's income, which largely offset the expenses of the Southern Expedition.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who originally thought that he would have to recuperate for two years before he could reuse his troops, found that it would only take one year to recover, and if it took another two or three years, then the Northern Expedition would be at least two or three points more certain.

Xungui got a large number of laborers, which greatly alleviated the labor tension in Hanzhong.

In the Hanzhong textile workshops, which have a share, they use pastures and workshops as guarantees, just by changing their labor, each laborer will make a net profit of 20 yuan.

At least in Zhuge Liang's eyes, these families didn't do anything at all, and they earned 250,000 yuan in a few months.

But even so, the nobles and even the imperial court have to thank Feng Yong.

It's a dream!

This kind of means is unheard of!

Talking and laughing, you can stir up a storm, nothing more.

Now when I hear this son's remarks again, I want to play with the big families in Shuzhong, and I actually plan to imitate the old example of Nanzhong again?
