Ji Fa was very happy when he saw this policy and put it into practice throughout the country, and planned to inspect the progress and situation of the implementation after a while, and then adjust the corresponding royal decree according to different situations, so as to assist the operation of the royal decree.

At this time, in Ji Fa's mind, Lan Ling's voice sounded.

[The system of the desolate country is being activated]

[Abuse of the Treasury +10]

[Mandatory Decree Defeat +10]

Ji Fa was very pleased, how could such a policy of benefiting the country become in the system, the policy of defeating the country, and the value of defeating the country has also increased a lot, what is going on?

He thought to himself: "Oh, I understand that this is because these policies, in the era of the Honghuang Zhou Kingdom, were relatively advanced government decrees, so according to the actual productivity and social conditions at that time, it was judged to be this policy of defeating the country. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as it is conducive to the increase of the value of the defeated country and the real strength of the country, then the system's evaluation of me, I don't care at all." Ji Fa thought to himself.

So seeing that this decree was implemented, I couldn't help but think, what else can help, now in the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Fa began to think that the education of children is there, so what will be next?

Ji Fa thought about it, the salt and iron of this era are basically the best in the Zhou State, and they can only be sold by the government, and the private people are forbidden to sell them, because one is related to the people of the whole Zhou State, and the other is afraid of the private sale of fake salt and iron, and the other is that the country needs these things, and it needs to be used in wars when necessary, so the country must reserve a large amount of salt and iron, and the last one is that these outputs are very low, because the production technology is not enough, so that these outputs are very small, because the output is not enough, Therefore, resources are particularly precious and their use is particularly cherished, and private distribution is simply impossible and will not be balanced, and only the state can control it.

Thinking of this, Ji Fa paced back and forth, he thought: "If you want to change the system of salt and iron in the Zhou State, it is impossible to do it, and who belongs to it is not of much help to the current Zhou State, the current difficulty is that the output of salt and iron is low, on the one hand, professional technology is required to engage in this work, and the other is that the people cannot participate, but the number of people in the government is limited, so the development is limited." ”

"In the end, the output is very low, the people can't get benefits, and Zhou Guo doesn't get much benefit." Ji Fa thought to himself.

"Then start from increasing the production of salt and iron, in this way, it will not affect the history of entering the city, as long as it is the country, if the method is appropriate, it can not only allow the people to get benefits, but also allow the Zhou State to benefit, so that there will be no chaos, in this way, it will be very good, but if you implement this, you need the help of some rich and big businessmen, only in this way, can it be implemented."

Ji Fa thought about it carefully, not only relying on the words of the merchants, it is far from enough, and the problem of circulation is solved, and the most advantageous thing should be to increase the production volume and ensure the quality, so that the goods can be circulated.

Ji Fa quickly summoned Zhou Gong and Taigong Wang, after hearing this, Taigong Wang stroked his beard, he agreed with Ji Fa's approach very much, and he put forward his opinion.

"Wang, judging from the current situation in China, the people who produce salt and iron are basically people from the government, generally speaking, they are the children of the government and their family members, so the technology has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has not been passed on, but people are very scarce, and the output is indeed not high." Taigongwang expressed his opinion.

Zhou Gong said: "I divined the hexagram just now, and the hexagram shows that our salt and iron weight should have increased and increased, which is also a sign from heaven." ”

Ji Fa thought for a while and said: "Yes, God can't stand the low yield, and if you eat less salt, the food will have no taste, and after a long time, the people will get sick." ”

Taigong Wang and Zhou Gong nodded and said, "Yes, it's not easy for the people to eat. ”

Ji Fa thought about it, he had lived in the folk for a long time before, and he could probably understand the feeling of eating without salt, and there was no taste when eating, but what they didn't know was that if a person's salt intake was very low, it would be easy to lack iodine, and once a person lacked iodine, he would get a big neck disease, and in this way, it would be a burst of destruction to the body.

"Then the number of salt and iron craftsmen must be increased." Ji Fa said.

Taigong and Zhou Gong nodded in agreement.

Ji Fa thought to himself: "But these craftsmen must be mastered by the Zhou State, and then they can be used to increase the output of salt and iron, so they can only be recruited in the name of the Zhou State, and then raised to learn all the techniques of salt and iron, so that they can carry out salt and iron." ”

So after the three of them discussed, Ji Fa's idea, by Taigong Wang and Zhou Gong formed a royal order, quickly posted notices throughout the country, Zhou recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the country, learned the technology of salt and iron, and distributed silver rewards from the treasury every month, and then craftsmen from all over the country went to the yacha offices to register, craftsmen were preferred, and skilled people were preferred.

Immediately after the craftsmen from all over the Zhou Kingdom, after seeing it, they happily went to register, and soon according to Ji Fa's arrangement, in all aspects of salt and iron production, and then Taigongwang went to select some craftsmen who were good at teaching technology and excellent in their own skills, to act as the masters of these people, Taigongwang selected a group of people, and then sent them to these people, and they took a group of apprentices to start teaching their own skills.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Fa ordered the construction craftsmen to build a number of residences for these salt and iron craftsmen, scattered near the salt and iron manufacturing, all of which were borne by the Zhou State treasury, and did not need the people to spend a penny, and then Ji Fa gathered the big merchants of the Zhou State, all of whom gathered together.

"You do Zhou a favor, the people of Zhou will thank you, if you don't agree, the people of Zhou will hate you." Ji Fa directly explained to these big businessmen.

The reputation of Zhou Wang Xiande is outside, and he has been respected by these big businessmen, coupled with Ji Fa's grace and power, which explains the benefits, so these big businessmen have expressed their willingness to help Zhou Guo produce and manufacture salt and iron, and the raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products required are run to all parts of Zhou State, and in accordance with Ji Fa's requirements, all of them do not charge any fees, and are delivered to all locations in the country formulated by Ji Fa.

"The officials from all over the Zhou Kingdom, including the soldiers stationed there, will do their best to protect these big merchants and the merchant ships that run them, and there must not be the slightest mistake." Ji Fa issued a royal decree in the Zhou State again.

As a result of the previous bandits, all of them have been swept away, and there has been a marked improvement in public order in various places. So at this moment, the merchant ships began to set sail, and the road was unimpeded, coupled with Ji Fa's royal order, all places did not dare to embarrass them, so the merchant ships did not encounter any difficulties along the way.

Ji Fa felt at this time that he was glad that he had cleaned up the bandits before, otherwise, how could he implement these royal decrees today? It seems that his policy is correct, and only if Wang Ling first cleans up the civil strife and these hidden scourges, then there can be a stable and quiet environment, and Wang Ling can be smoothly implemented.

"The truth of civil strife and the prosperity of the people is really not groundless, nor is it nonsense, it does seem to be true." Ji Fa muttered to himself and nodded.

Then the new craftsmen recruited, according to Ji Fa's order, scattered to various places, all parts of the production chain, followed those craftsmen to learn technology, in this way, it broke the monopoly of salt and iron technology, and the number of craftsmen who learned the technology gradually increased, and Ji Fa also stipulated that it was not allowed to hide private technology, otherwise once discovered, it would be punished according to the crime of treason against the Zhou State, so the craftsmen and masters tried their best to teach, in fact, the craftsmen and masters were very happy, this is because the craftsmen and masters, while teaching the apprenticesAccording to Ji Fa's regulations, if the apprentices succeed in learning and successfully participate in the manufacture of salt and iron, after passing the assessment, the master craftsman can get two weeks' worth of food.

Therefore, every craftsman master is very hard to teach, that is, he hopes that his apprentices can learn technology, but at the same time, there is no need to worry, the apprentices are taught to starve to death, plus there is the guarantee of the Zhou State, so soon the craftsmen and masters have trained a group of salt and iron craftsmen, and soon these craftsmen have risen and joined the army of salt and iron manufacturing, and slowly the production of salt and iron has increased significantly.

Ji Fa is also worried about another problem, that is, these salt and iron are only used in the circulation of the government, and cannot be circulated to the people, so he thought of a good way to let the officials in various parts of the Zhou State begin to measure the land of the whole Zhou State, all of which are registered, and then count the population of the Zhou State, and the people consciously go to register, the advantage of registration is that each household can receive a certain amount of salt every month, according to the number of people in the family, and these salts are supplied by the salt and iron produced by the Zhou State.

"In this way, the production of salt and iron will be recognized by the people, because they can get benefits." Ji Fa thought to himself with a smile.

So more and more people joined the ranks of salt and iron craftsmen, and in this way, the salt and iron craftsmen increased a lot, and the output naturally increased, and in this way, the output of salt and iron increased a lot, and in the following days, Ji Fa announced that all the tools made of salt and iron would be overhauled, and then new salt and iron tools would be made, whether it was smelting, manufacturing, or collecting raw materials from the source, and so on, all of which were remanufactured and paid for by the state treasury.

When Ji Fa was happy, Taigongwang hurriedly ran over, and he said anxiously: "The king is not good, our treasury has no money, and there is not a single sword coin." ”

"What!" Ji Fa said helplessly.

"Well, it's true, the recent consumption is too big, and the people are not allowed to pay, it is all paid by the treasury, and it is strange to have money." Ji Fa said with a smile.

Taigong said anxiously: "King, we must find a way to solve it, otherwise the salaries of the soldiers, as well as the salaries of the officials, as well as the expenses of various places, as well as the daily consumption of swords and coins, will become a problem." ”

Ji Fa said with a smile: "Don't panic, come one by one, first of all, this year's officials' salaries, all of which are offset by grain, just go directly to the treasury to get it, and then the expenses of various places are all discounted by grain and grass, in this way, the consumption of daily knife coins is basically nothing, as for the soldiers' salaries, the lonely king will think of a way." ”

Taigong Wangwang went to implement Ji Fa's royal decree just now, Ji Fa was thinking about how to solve the problem of food and salary for the soldiers, it was supposed to provide the soldiers with food, and they could not offset the accounts, and the soldiers fought bloodily to kill the enemy, and it was normal to give some knife coins, but now the treasury has no money, so in this way, Ji Fa thought of a way.

He gathered the former big merchants, and through them, exchanged a part of the grain stored in the state for sword coins, and then distributed them to the soldiers, so that the current crisis and problems were solved.

"We still need to think of another way to solve the problem of insufficient knife coins, there will be a way, which can not only solve the problem, but also exchange the knife coins back, so that the country will also have money, the people will be able to get benefits, and the country will be strong and rich."

Ji Fa thought hard, and suddenly he had an idea, he could make some of the iron made into farm tools, by the government, the money sold can be mortgaged with grain and grass, and can be purchased with coins, but the quantity must be limited, at most only half of the knife coins can be offset with grain and grass, and the rest must be purchased with knife coins, so that you can get knife coins from the hands of the people, and then the people can also get the best farm tools built by the government, because the farm tools are made of iron.

"I remember that at this time, the people of the Zhou State, the stone farm tools in their hands, or more, such a high-quality iron farm tools, made into a full set, the people see the hardness of the iron farm tools, and the benefits of the iron farm tools, plus the pricing restrictions, in this way, all kinds of benefits added together, the people must be willing to buy, so that the treasury can be enriched, but also let the people upgrade the farm tools in their hands, the government can also recover the knife coins, so that the treasury can also be enriched, The farming tools in the hands of the people do not have to worry about becoming a sharp weapon that hurts people. ”

Ji Fa smiled: "I didn't expect that at the beginning of the Zhou Kingdom, these sharp weapons were passivated, so that farm tools can be cultivated, but if you want to hurt people, it is not so powerful, and killing two birds with one stone can also make the people consciously change the farm tools in their hands, and it will be implemented naturally, and there is no need to make great efforts." ”

"The country is safe, the life is happy, and the diligence and studiousness of the people, the blueprint of the flood in my heart has taken the first step." Ji Fa sighed infinitely.
