Money paralysis, and it is still so violent, not to mention in the Wu Zhou period, even in later generations, it is a rather difficult economic problem.

After all, Wu Ning did not specialize in economics, and he did not have such a high degree of foresight.

So much so that after the catastrophe had been completed, he suddenly reacted and wanted to remedy it, but he was unable to do so.

Moreover, these courtiers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty were not as clear as Wu Ning, and even if he said it before, no one would believe it.

At this time, Di Fatzi's old face was flushed, and he finally knew that he was wrong to blame Wu Ning on the issue of encouraging rich businessmen to stock up on goods.

However, Di Renjie is a practical person after all, and he knows that now is not the time to dwell on this matter.

put away his face and saluted Wu Ning, "Then according to the ability of Ziji, how to save it at the moment?" ”

When Wu Ning heard this, he complained in his heart: "You old fat man is quite good at changing the topic, if the old lady really investigates it......"

Anyway, Wu Laojiu also understood that Di Renjie was public and not private, and besides, it was not the time to argue about who was right and who was wrong, so he muttered for a moment to Wu Zetian and the Manchu officials, and said:

"First of all, we must increase the amount of coinage this year."

Wu Youji heard the sound, frowned, and subconsciously spoke: "How much do you want to add?" ”

The reason why he cares so much is because the affairs of the money supervisor happen to be under his jurisdiction.

Wu Ning thought for a while, "Ten million runs!" ”

"Impossible!" Wu Youji shook his head resolutely, "This number can't be made in one year this year, three years." ”

The amount of coinage in the imperial court every year is very small, only more than 100,000 guan, Wu Ning's mouth is 10 million guan, Wu Youji not only does not have so much copper material, but also can't find so many craftsmen who make money!

You must know that Wu Zhou continued to use Tang money, that is, Kaiyuan Tongbao. Its casting quality is one of the finest in the entire history of China, and the process is extremely cumbersome.

With so much money added in a short period of time, the imperial court really doesn't have the ability to do so.

Wu Ning also knew that it was a bit difficult to mint so much money at once, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much can you cast?" ”

Wu Youji thought for a moment and said a number, "One million at most!" ”

Wu Ning said: "Not enough! ”

Wu Youji was silent, don't look at the usual people who belong to factions, and fight to the death, but on the big issue of the rise and fall of the country, Wu Youji does not dare to be sloppy at all.

"There are mainly two problems: craftsmen and copper."

"It's okay for the craftsman to say, in the name of His Majesty, to spread the world, recruit folk coppersmiths and casters, and add a few sets of 'money fans', but it can be useful."

"Mainly this copper ......"

Wu Youji looked up at everyone and cried with a sad face.

"In such a short period of time, where can this king get so much copper?"

China has always had little copper, and the annual coinage is not much, and there is not much copper in reserve.

Cen Changqian spoke at this time, "You can smelt the ritual vessels, and then collect the bronze utensils from the official mansions, which should be able to solve part of it." ”

"This ....." Wu Chenghei is in trouble.

The ritual utensils are the ceremonial utensils used by the court to worship the heavens, if they are all melted, then what to sacrifice to the sky?

"Is this appropriate?"

This sentence was said by looking at Wu Zetian.

As a result, Mrs. Wu didn't even think about it, "When it's extraordinary, do extraordinary things, melt!" ”

Wu Sansi, Wu Youning, and Di Renjie below were not ambiguous, "The ministers are willing to take the lead in donating bronze utensils from the house to solve the crisis." ”

“......”

Wu Ning smacked his mouth when he listened to it, and said in his heart, don't look at the martial arts brothers, it's not a thing to fight for power. But when it comes to a big event, it's still a bit responsible!

But there's a for that, huh?

How much copper does it cost to mint 10 million yuan? Even if you smash the pot and destroy the utensils and tear down the house, how big of a problem can you solve?

"Your Majesty, isn't it enough?"

When the crowd was excited, Wu Laojiu poured a basin of cold water.

"That's just a drop in the bucket!"

Di Renjie answered, "Now I can only do my best, what is the best plan?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Wu Ning's expression began to become strange.

"Clever plan.... Less. ”

"But, there really is!"

"Yes!?" Di Fatzi glared, "Didn't you say it earlier?" What's the plan? ”

"Ahem!"

I saw Wu Laojiu clear his throat, turn around slowly, and his eyes drifted outside the Liangyi Palace, over the palace walls and buildings, and finally landed....

Fall outside the Imperial City.

There...... There's nothing there!

Everyone was puzzled, and looked at Wu Laojiu's gaze, but they didn't see anything.

And the heart said, What shall he see?

Di Fatzi leaned over to Wu Ning's side, followed his gaze and looked again, confirming that he couldn't see anything in front of the imperial city, "Zi Zhen? What the hell? What are you looking at? ”

Wu Ning smiled and said nothing, "Look at a plan to solve the situation!" ”

"Huh?" Di Fat took a good look again, there was really nothing.

And he said, "Can't you see anything?" ”

Wu Ning smiled cheaply, "Before the imperial city of Chang'an, of course you can't see anything!" However, in Luoyang ......"

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.

And then, gah!?

I almost didn't faint.

Glaring at the beads of his eyes, "You.... You won't be ......."

Over there, Wu Zetian also reacted from Wu Ning's words, ...... in front of the imperial city in Luoyang? What was there before the imperial city of Luoyang?!

Thinking of this, Old Lady Wu jumped up directly.

"No way!"

Cen Changqian, Wu Chengsi and others were half a beat slower, but they were not stupid, and they also understood what Mu Zijiu meant.

Shrinking his neck violently, his heart said, your heart is really big, you dare to think about anything!

"No way!" Mrs. Wu went straight away.

Pointing at Wu Laojiu, the old eyes glared angrily, trembling all over, "You... You! ”

"You" for a long time, but in the end you still didn't say it, are you going to rebel!?

So, what is Wu Ning's clever plan? How can you make Wu Zetian like this at a glance?

Well, Wu Ning's clever plan is the root that stands in front of the end gate of the Luoyang Imperial City and goes straight to the sky-"Tianshu"!

......

——————————

If you want to say that Mrs. Wu is good at everything, there is only one problem - good face and good achievements.

I especially like to build Daxing, highlighting the prosperity of peace.

So, the old lady was in power for all these years, built a temple and repaired the Ming Hall. I built the Ming Hall, and I built the heavens.

After repairing the heavens, there was really nothing to repair, so in Chang'an for three years, that is, five years ago, the old lady built another big pillar in front of the Luoyang Imperial City on a whim.

This pillar is the Heavenly Pivot.

Many people may have no concept of "Tianshu", so let's put it this way, there is a movie "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" in later generations, someone must have seen it, right?

The big Buddha inside, "Tongtian Futu", the real prototype in history, is this Tianshu.

Of course, the big pillar Tianshu is not as exaggerated as in the movie, it is as tall as sixty-six zhang.

However, the magic eye that can enter Wu Zetian is also quite majestic.

At the bottom is a three-storey stone pedestal with a diameter of more than 100 zhang.

On the altar, there is an iron mountain with a circumference of 17 zhang cast in iron, which is vivid.

On the mountain, the unicorn is the bearing, and the main body of Tianshu is erected, which is 105 feet high and 15 feet in diameter.

The pillar body is eight-sided, each side is five feet wide, and there is a dragon on the plate.

On the top of the column, a cloud-shaped bearing dew plate is cast, and the diameter of the plate is three zhang again, and four dragon men stand on the plate holding fire beads, and the fire beads are one zhang high.

There is also a plaque written by Wu Zetian himself: "Great Zhou Wanguo Song De Tianshu".

This is the old lady's favorite creation, not only to show the royal ceremony, to sing the praises of virtue, but also to be a symbol of her rule.

Don't look at the fact that the capital has been moved back to Chang'an now, but if Tianshu can't take it away, she would have thought of moving that big pillar to Chang'an.

You Wu Laojiu dare to hit the idea of the big pillar, the old lady really dares to be anxious with you.

So, having said that, why does Wu Laojiu have to get along with a pillar?

Nonsense, that's a copper pillar.

In addition to the iron mountain below, there are more than ten zhang high, one zhang and five thick Tianshu main body, including the unicorn below, the dragon above, the bearing tray with a diameter of three zhang on the top, and the four dragons holding beads, all of which are cast of pure copper.

Now is the time for a shortage of copper, if you don't dismantle Tianshu, where can you get so much copper?

......

——————————

"You... You!! ”

Mrs. Wu "you" for a long time, looking at Wu Laojiu and wanting to scold, but she couldn't scold because there were outsiders on the side.

That breath in my heart, not to mention how depressed it is.

You....

Do you want to tear down the old lady's big pillar?

No way!

"No way!"

Wu Zetian didn't say a word, just two words: "No!" ”

"Tianshu is the foundation of the town, and it can't be demolished. Look for another way! ”

When Wu Ning heard this, he had to spread his hands regretfully and stopped talking.

The subtext is: If you don't tear down the big pillar, then I can't help it.

When the ministers looked at it, they froze? You have to play a round, and you can't make the atmosphere embarrassing!

"Ahem."

Cen Changqian cleared her throat and said, "This and this.... Tianshu is the auspicious blessing of the four seas in my court, and I really can't move it! ”

"Alas!!"

Old Lady Wu nodded heavily, pointed at Cen Changqian, and glanced at everyone with approving eyes.

See? It's still old man Cen who is sensible!

"But..."

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't feel proud for a while, and Old Man Cen turned sharply, "Your Majesty also said that extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times!" ”

The old man looked left and right, "In this way, it doesn't seem that it can't be moved!" ”

Ga?

There was a sudden freeze in the field, and Wu Zetian almost choked to death.

looked at Cen Changqian in disbelief, and said in his heart, what do you mean? Do you really want to move the old lady's big pillar?

Subconsciously glanced at Wu Chenghei and Wu Youji, they want to move the old lady's heart, you can watch it!

“......”

“......”

Wu Chengsi and Wu Youji glanced at each other, knowing that my aunt couldn't get over this hurdle, and she was looking for our brothers to support her, then....

Helper?

Help the handle help the handle!

Wu Chengsi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out of class to salute, "Well, my nephew thought it was ......"

"What Cen Xiang said.... Well.... Extremely! ”

Poof!

Old Lady Wu spurted out a mouthful of old blood, her old eyes were round, and she didn't react for a long time.

Why do you want to fly, a waste prince?

"Hmm... This...."

Facing the old lady's murderous gaze, Wu Chengsi seemed to dodge, "This.... Aunt is angry! It's not a crisis, nothing to do.... Nothing can be done? ”

As he spoke, he handed his eyes to Wu Youji, and Wu Youji nodded immediately.

"Auntie, there is really nothing to be done, the overall situation is important!"

Actually:

First, it is indeed the overall situation.

Second, that day, the pivotal pillar was really not very popular, and even Wu Chengsi felt that it was good to dismantle it.

Do you think, in front of the imperial city symbolized by the Great Zhou Dynasty, the bronze pillar of Tieshan stood on the four dragons holding beads, and there were dragons coiled on them, squatting unicorns.

The most special thing is that there is a plaque hanging on it, do you say that it is not annoying?

"Great Zhou Wanguo Song De Tianshu"!

Who can withstand this? The old lady feels quite energetic in this strange aesthetic, and even Wu Chenghei can't stand it.

Pompous, too pompous! No taste.

Before, Wu Zetian lived in Luoyang, and no one dared to say anything, but now that they have moved back to Chang'an, what are they doing here?

Besides, now is the time when there is a shortage of copper, so a big copper pillar standing there, doesn't it clearly tell the people that the emperor doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the world?

In this matter, Wu Zetian was a little isolated.

Calm down and think about it, it is true, now that the national disaster is at the head, what is the use of keeping a big pillar? Isn't there still no other way?

"Demolition!!"

The old lady is not a grinder, since she can't keep it, then tear it down.

"Spread my will, melt the Tianshu Bronze Pillar, and solve the money shortage crisis!"

When everyone heard this, they all bowed down: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent!"

"Your Majesty...."

Your Majesty NB!

That's right, that's what the Holy Monarch should look like!

"Let's get flat!" Wu Zetian's face was disgusted.

Don't look at them all respectfully, in fact, your heart is happy, right? Why did you tear down the old lady's big pillar, are you satisfied?

Satisfied! Very satisfied!

After leveling down, Wu Chengsi looked at Wu Ning with a spring breeze, "Mr. Zijiu, apart from the method of increasing coins, is there any other way to think of it?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Laojiu nodded affirmatively, not making the old lady angry.

Since there is another way, why do you have to tear down the old lady's big pillar?

Wu Ning didn't see it over there, and continued to the ministers: "The increase in currency is only one of them, and there are still three political parties that must be implemented in the future. ”

Wu Zetian: "......"

"Three-of-a-kind? Three whole strips!? ”

Did you say it earlier? I would have said that I would have agreed to dismantle the pillars.

......

"First, the war in Tibet has not been settled, but the military merits must be rewarded first!"

Compared with the 10 million new coins, the 30 million military expenses in the hands of the imperial court are the main promoters of this great famine.

It is not possible to hold such a large sum of money in the hands of the imperial court and not participate in circulation.

"Send the money directly to the soldier's house and let the relatives collect it on their behalf. In this way, these 30 million yuan can flow into commerce and trade as quickly as possible. ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded again and again, "This is very necessary." What else?

"Second!" Wu Ning said another article, "Immediately promulgate the world and implement the official rules of liquor." ”

"Huh?"

Wu Zetian was no longer entangled in the big pillar, and was savoring Wu Laojiu's first political prescription, when he suddenly heard that he was going to implement the liquor official, and he didn't react for a while.

Suspicious: "Why is that?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this move is to quickly consume the surplus grain and rice."

This year's agricultural taxes are not collected with money, but from grain, and a large amount of grain.

And this part of the grain cannot be circulated back to the people.

This is because the peasants, who have already been deeply injured, can no longer withstand the impact of official grain on the grain market.

At this juncture when prices continue to rise and stabilize the economy, the restocking of official grain does not meet the needs of bailing out the market, which is the same reason as the "pouring milk" under the deflation of the West in later generations.

But then again, how can so much food be consumed, it can't rot in the warehouse, right? The best way to do that is to make wine.

As long as the imperial court has the official brewing right of liquor, to be precise, the official right of koji, then this large amount of grain can be gradually consumed.

"Well, that makes sense!" Di Fatzi couldn't help but nod after listening to Wu Ning's explanation.

I have to say that in terms of business and trade, Wu Ning thinks more long-term than anyone present.

Looking up at Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty thinks..."

The old lady also nodded, "Just follow the words of Ziji!" ”

Looking up at Wu Ning, "What about the third one?" ”

"Thirdly... Article...."

Wu Laojiu hesitated, "Hey...."

Cheap laughed, "Need the imperial court..... Fix a few more big pillars. ”

Burst!!

All the ministers present, including Mrs. Wu, sprayed.

Cen Changqian said in her heart, why don't you open which pot to mention!?

I just demolished one, and the anger hasn't subsided, so you want to build it again? And how many are they!?

Subconsciously looked at Wu Zetian, and saw that the old lady's face was green, and she couldn't rush down to scratch Wu Laojiu into noodles.

I want to build two more pillars and three more pillars, why are you still demolishing my big pillars?

was just about to make a biao, but when she bumped into Wu Laojiu's calm and indifferent eyes, the old lady was stunned and suspicious.

With Wu Ning's temperament, an angry person is an angry person, but he will definitely not be untargeted.

Calm down, think about it carefully, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked up and said, "Zi is talking about ....."

"Large-scale construction work?"

Wu Ning heard the joy and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming!" It's a big construction. ”

At this time, Wu Chengsi and Wu Youji were still a little confused, "Daxing.... What civil engineering? ”

However, Cen Changqian and Di Renjie are really capable, and they can understand it at one point, and they instantly understand the mystery.

Old Man Cen nodded and said to Di Renjie: "It seems reasonable? ”

Di Fatzi agreed, "It's really time to work hard and lose money." ”

"Labor and money?"

It's over, Wu Chengsi couldn't understand it anymore, and looked at everyone as if asking for help.

What do you mean?

Isn't it a bad thing to work hard and lose money? How do they make what they say so fresh and refined?

Well, with Wu Chenghe's level, he really can't understand it.

However, sometimes it is a bad thing, but sometimes it is a good thing.

It can be understood as an economic means, a kind of release of wealth by imperial power.

Let's put it this way, in troubled times, or when the country is poor, not to mention spending money on construction and luxury, even breathing is wrong. However, under the prosperous era, the construction of large-scale construction is more of a positive significance.

It is indeed to annoy the people, and it is indeed a waste of money.

However, it was the wealth of the imperial court that was hurt, and the money spent eventually went to the people.

It's like Wu Zetian spent a huge amount of money to repair the Buddhist Temple, Xiuming Hall, and Tianshu, which is indeed extravagant and wasteful, but is it really wasted?

She spends the taxes of the imperial court and the hard-earned money of the people, which is true.

However, because of the repair of so many things, tens of thousands of craftsmen, stone and timber merchants, as well as private husbands and merchants who traveled far and wide, made the tax revenue of the imperial court return to private circulation.

From an economic point of view, this is undoubtedly a good thing, much better than lying in the treasury for this huge amount of money.

In fact, in all dynasties, many emperors built or worked extravagantly, and the starting point was because of this.

That is, there is too much money in the treasury, and there is too little money from the people, and the court needs to come up with money to feed back to the people.

As a result, there are the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Zhidao, Afang Palace, the Grand Canal, the Daming Palace, the foreign wars in history that seem to be not earned at all, and Qianlong's six visits to the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, there are many big projects and big wastes, which are not necessary from the perspective of future generations, and have also led to bad consequences.

The ancients may not have the almost transcendent ability and decision-making of later generations of Huaxia, and carried out big projects without harming the country's wealth, without working the people, and benefiting the world.

However, its economic significance cannot be ignored, and it also has its inevitability.

Just like now, only by building a large number of buildings and building a large project can we quickly transfer the money from the treasury to the people at the fastest speed and alleviate the disaster caused by the money shortage.

.....

————————————

Sometimes that's how it is, and bad things can turn into good things.

This method of large-scale construction is not bad, at least in the current situation.

Di Renjie, Cen Changqian, and Wu Zetian nodded in approval, as for whether to repair the second pillar or something more useful, it still needs to be considered in the long run.

However, the other political methods proposed by Wu Ning today can be operated first.

To sum up: the big pillars were demolished to mint money, the military expenses of the Tubo War were issued in advance, and the wine was official.

With the direction, Wu Zetian can also retire successfully. The only thing that is a little disturbing is that these words were originally said by Wu Lao Shi, but Wu Qi was deliberately invisible and gave the credit to Wu Lao Jiu.

And this damn Wu Laojiu has to demolish her big pillar.

......

Coming out of the Liangyi Palace, Wu Ning lowered his head and walked forward, thinking in his heart what the hell Wu Lao Shi was doing this time.

However, before they went far, Di Renjie, Cen Changqian, and even Wu Chengsi and Wu Youji chased after them together.

"Stay behind!" Wu Chengsi stopped Wu Ning.

"Huh?" Wu Ning turned back suspiciously, "His Royal Highness the Prince, is there anything else?" ”

Wu Chengsi didn't speak, but looked at Di Renjie.

I saw that the fat man's face was solemn, and he said to Wu Ning: "Zijiu, the four political prescriptions you mentioned today are very good, but they are ......"

Di Fat Man hesitated, "The old man always feels ....."

glanced at Cen Changqian, only to hear Old Man Cen take over the conversation, "I always feel unsteady." ”

Well, they are worried that this crisis is too big to solve.

"Huh." Wu Ning chuckled.

First of all, he sighed that Wu Chenghei and Wu Youji were able to come together with Di Renjie and Cen Changqian, which shows how big the impact of this great wilderness is on the Great Zhou, so that the two factions that should be intolerable also have the same hatred.

Then there was another wry smile, "You are worried, the symptoms are not the root cause, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Wu Youji nodded, "It turns out that Mr. Zijiu is also worried about this?" ”

What answered him was Wu Ning's affirmative nod.

Of course, it is a symptomatic rather than a cure. If it was that easy, he wouldn't have to worry.

The points he gave today can only be regarded as a relief for the money shortage, and it can't even be said to be a cure.

You must know that the money shortage is still a lack of money in the final analysis, and what he is doing now is just dredging, and he has not given birth to too much money.

The 10 million coins may be useful for the time being, but with the further development of commerce and trade, they will only be more scarce.

The only solution is to continue to mint copper coins.

But here comes the problem, China has always lacked copper, and this difficulty will only be even worse.

Because of the outbreak of the money shortage, there is another potential problem that there is no time to take care of now, and that is the rise in copper prices.

Originally, there was no shortage of money during the Tang and Zhou dynasties, so the price of copper was lower than the value of copper coins, and no one hoarded copper.

However, the inevitable result of the money shortage is that the price of copper will exceed the value of copper coins, making copper the most stable means of wealth appreciation.

This will further exacerbate the money shortage.

Wu Ning explained the worries in his heart to everyone, and everyone frowned and palpitated.

"This...."Wu Chenghei was bitter, "how should this be good?" ”

looked at Wu Ning, "Isn't there a solution for Mr. Zijiu?" ”

After such a toss, even Wu Chenghe, who had a grudge against Wu Ning, knew that in terms of finance, Wu Ning's position was irreplaceable, and this kind of dangerous situation could only be solved by Mu Zijiu.

"Approach ....."

Wu Ning hesitated.

There is a way, but ..... Hard!

From the perspective of later generations, of course, there are solutions, but they are not mature.

Moreover, Wu Ning did not dare to say.

First, of course, there are banknotes.

Paper money can completely solve the problem of money shortage, but the consequences are endless.

It has to be said here that the standards of later generations of coins are actually divided into two types:

One is a gold coin with a precious metal standard, such as the British pound.

To put it simply, it is to replace precious metals for circulation, which is essentially metal currency. One pound is equal to a fixed value of gold, and as much gold as there is currency, the value of the currency fluctuates with the value of gold.

The benefits of precious metal-based banknotes are self-evident. That is, the value of the currency is stable, and no matter what kind of crisis occurs in the country, the possibility of a collapse is very small.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, there must be so many precious metals?

Not to mention the Great Zhou, the Chinese Dynasty has always lacked precious metals.

So, this kind of banknote will not work.

The second type of banknote is credit money.

It is to use national credit or taxation as a guarantee to protect the currency value of paper money instead of precious metals.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Republic of China, and even later generations, most countries adopted this credit currency.

The benefits are simple, brutal, and easy to function.

But the shortcomings are also particularly obvious, even fatal.

That is: sometimes, national credit is valuable. Sometimes, national credit is a piece of ass.

To put it bluntly, in a peaceful and prosperous era, credit currency is a boost, which can better regulate the economy and stabilize the market.

But when it comes to troubled times, all countries are gone, what kind of credit do you talk about?

For the sake of the country's survival, the uncontrolled issuance of additional currency and the exploitation of the people, the credit currency is the poison that urges life.

Especially in ancient times, there was no regulation, including the immaturity of the credit system, the concept did not keep up with and so on.

If Wu Ning releases it, it may be a good thing now, in case any emperor comes to power, and the money is not enough to fight this and destroy that, and he starts to sell the country's credit and exploit the people, then it will not be far from the death of the country.

In later generations, there were too many such examples in Africa and South America, and too many credit collapses and the people were treated as wool disasters.

.....

In the original plan, Wu Ning needed an institution, that is, the Western Commercial Bank.

When the western commercial banks developed to a certain height, they could play the role of financial supervision, and at that time they could try to issue paper money to promote the development of the Great Zhou economy.

But now, paper money doesn't work.

So is there any other way than paper money?

There are also. That is, to find large sources of precious metals and quickly fill the gap in metal currencies.

"But the problem is, we don't have such a big gold, silver and copper mine in Dazhou!"

Wu Ning was thinking about the banknotes in his heart, and he didn't mention it at all. He was afraid that there would be a green light in the eyes of these people, and they would really release the paper money recklessly.

So, let's talk about the source directly.

When it comes to the fact that there is no territory in the Great Zhou, Di Renjie raised his eyebrows, listening to Wu Laojiu's meaning, there is no Great Zhou.... Somewhere else?

He said, "Where? ”

Wu Ning said: "I know a few places, but it's not easy. ”

Wu Chengsi said: "Let's listen to it!" ”

Wu Ning didn't twist either, "First of all, it's a copper mine. According to the knowledge of the Changlu Dart Bureau, there is a large copper mine on the border of Nanzhao. ”

“......”

“......”

“......”

Everyone looked at each other silently, "How old?" ”

"Huge!" Wu Ning said honestly, "If we continue to use copper coins, we may not be able to use them up in one or two hundred years." ”

"So big?" Di Renjie was shocked, and then groaned.

Such a big treasure...... Still in Nanzhao...... If you want to get your hands on it, you can only fight.

Maybe.... Can the black tooth Changzhi turn a corner after fighting Tubo?

Di Fatzi said in his heart, this is a way out, didn't Wu Laojiu say "Do you know a few places" and listen to it first, and then make a decision.

"What else?"

Wu Ning's eyes rolled for a long time, and he also groaned.

He knew about large copper mines, as if there was also one in the Philippines in later generations. It's not too far away, and it's much easier to control than the current Nanzhao.

However, he did not want to continue to mint coins with copper. After all, the value of copper is still too low, and it is not as good as gold and silver in the long run.

Moreover, Wu Ning wondered if he could take this opportunity to get something else!

"There's a silver mine on the other side of the sea!"

"There is also a Jordan Island in the land of Dongying, which is rich in gold!"

Cen Changqian was stunned, "The other side of the sea?" How did Ziji know? ”

I only heard Wu Ning said: "The other side of the sea is not the end, but another continent, which has long been contained in ancient documents such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas - The Classic of East Mountains". ”

"This...."

Well, Cen Changqian really believed it.

It should be mentioned here that the Classic of Mountains and Seas has not always been considered a myth, and its historical definition has been changing with the discourse of mainstream scholars.

What is a mainstream scholar?

Like what:

Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty believes that the passage of mountains and seas is absurd.

In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng felt that it was a history book.

In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan felt that it was a strange book.

Mr. Lu Xun said that it was the book of witches and scholars.

In the Tang and Zhou dynasties, it happened to be the period when Wei Zheng, a "mainstream scholar", dominated the arguments.

Wei Zheng said that it was a history book, and Wu Ning said that the Dongshan Sutra described the Americas, and Old Man Cen believed it.

The main thing is that the long road dart game goes south and north, and the knowledge is extraordinary.

In Wu Ning's words, although the Long Road Dart Bureau has never been to the other side of the sea, it has rescued a shipwrecked sailor from the sea, and I heard him say that the other side of the sea is a large piece of land, and there are silver mines.

Well, Wu Ning was bluffed, anyway, in the end, a few important ministers of the DPRK really believed that there were gold and silver mines on Jordan Island across the sea and Dongying.

......

said three mineral deposits that can solve the money shortage, and Wu Ning also felt that it was almost the same.

The Americas don't take a day or two, or even a day or two.

This matter is in a hurry, whether it is the old lady or Di Renjie, he will not go to sea because of his few words, right?

As for Nanzhao and Jordan Island, Wu Ning thinks it is a little more difficult. Because there is already a master, you have to go and fight it.

On the other side, Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi and the others glanced at each other.

"Okay!" Wu Chengsi was the first to speak, "Zi Zhen and go back, I will wait to discuss with His Majesty one or two before making a decision." ”

As he spoke, he and Di Renjie, Cen Changqian and Wu Youning turned back to the Liangyi Palace.

Back at the palace of Changning County, Wu Ning was still thinking that if he could force the imperial court to expedition to the Americas through this money shortage, then maybe he could really find silver mines and bring back the seeds, which would not be a bad thing.

In the future, as long as you continue to use dim sum on this matter, you may be able to succeed.

Scan left and right, "What about the old ten?" ”

The next person replied, "The son didn't come back!" ”

Well, Wu Lao Shi knew that his brother would have to look for him when he went home, so he hid directly.

Wu Ning frowned, you bastard Wu Lao Shi, today he is another one!

He still doesn't believe it, you can never come back if you have the ability!

Tell his subordinates, "When he returns, let him know!" ”

....

In this way, when it was evening, Wu Lao Shi had not yet turned around, but another unexpected person came to visit.

The crown prince - Wu Chenghe!

Wu Ningxin said, what is he doing? And it's only been half a day since we separated.

asked someone to welcome Wu Chengsi into the hall, and Wu Ning saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is visiting, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

I saw that Wu Chengsi was not polite, and he sat down and looked for water to drink.

"Thirsty for me! On this day, there is not a drop of water in the Liangyi Palace! ”

Prince Wu complained while holding the kettle and pouring it.

Wu Ning was speechless, and said in his heart, doesn't the old lady even offer water?

"Your Highness, this is.... Just came out of the palace? ”

In other words, after he left, Wu Chengsi stayed with the old lady until now?

"Exactly!"

Wu Chengsi drank his fill and put the kettle down, "I came to know that King Ning Jun said, it's done!" ”

"Gah? What's done? ”

Wu Ning was confused.

"Huh!?" Wu Chengsi looked disgusted, "The king of Changning County is so forgetful, why did he turn his face and throw it away?" ”

"The three mines you mentioned are done!"

"Huh!?" Wu Ning didn't stand firmly, and almost didn't sit on the ground.

"How.. How did you get it? ”

I heard Wu Chenghei say lightly: "Your Majesty has decreed that after General Heizhi pacifies Tibet, there is no need to return to the court, transfer to Nanzhao, and clear it together." ”

"In addition, I ordered the ten ships of the Dengzhou Navy to prepare for a long trip, and after three months, set off to search for minerals!"

"Hmm..."Wu Chengsi sat there steadily, "It's the other side of the sea you said!" ”

"Oh..... Oh!!! ”

Wu Laojiu was stupid.

"It's... That's too fast, right? ”

Wu Chengsi said: "Is it fast? The sooner the better! ”

"But... But you can't just do it, can you? ”

Sending a naval army to explore the Americas, Wu Ning can still understand, but clear the Nanzhao?

"There's always a reason, right?"

"Cut!" Wu Chengsi glanced at his mouth, "I am a big Zhouxiong town in all directions, and all countries are coming to the court, what reason do you want to sweep away a small country in Nanzhao!?" ”

Wu Ning: "......"

Completely speechless, really domineering!

Before he could slow down, he heard Wu Chengsi say again: "That's right!! ”

"The main reason for the trouble here today is that Mr. Zijiu has sent two capable men, that is, the long-term brothers who are familiar with the island of Jotun in Rauschzi, to go with the gazetteer of the Ministry of Works, so as to find out where the gold mines in the land of Jordan are."

"Huh!?" Wu Ning glared, "What do you mean?" ”

"That's going to send someone to prospect for minerals? That's the place in Dongying, you haven't beaten it yet! ”

"What's the fight?"

Wu Chengsi glared again, "That Po Dongying is not even a barbarian land, if he wants a small island, he can afford them!" ”

"He still dares not to give!?"

Well, Jordan Island doesn't need to fight at all, and even Wu Chenghei didn't discuss this matter with the old lady, and directly called the Dongying envoy in Chang'an, and asked for an island when he opened his mouth.

And what about the result....

The Dongying envoy was happy, and he gave it without thinking about it, and people thought that Jordan Island was too small, and there were few people who were afraid of going too around, so he drew a piece of land on the island, and came to buy one get one free.

In their opinion, if the Tiantang Dynasty can settle down beside them, it will be the glory of Wushang.

“......”

“......”

Wu Laojiu is full of black lines, and he can't help but look up to the sky and sigh!!

Happiness!

What a blessing!

Fortunately, he was reborn in Datang and domineering! Wildness!

Of course, there is also domineering and wild capital.

If you go to the court of the Great Song Dynasty or something, don't mention what you say, just do it, and rob it....

It's especially one of these three, and it's a lot of effort!!

This is the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties......
