The silver taken from the Wa Kingdom was continuously sent to the Tang Dynasty.

Shipload after ship of silver landed in Weihaiwei and was transported to Chang'an.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty did not use troops against Goguryeo and other places.

But at that time, there were wars, and all that was fought was money and grain in the treasury.

To fight a war, I don't know how much national power will be spent.

Moreover, even if Taizong was so wise and powerful, he did not destroy Goguryeo.

But since the new emperor ascended the throne, he directly used the king of Shu to easily destroy Goguryeo.

This time, troops were sent to attack the Wa Kingdom again.

Although it hasn't been beaten down yet, it seems that it will only be a matter of time.

The King of Shu went on an expedition, wasn't that time a sweep all the way and a full return?

This time, not long after I went, I sent carts of silver to Chang'an.

The convoy carrying silver, with no head in sight in front and behind.

The vehicle in front has already arrived at the house, and the convoy behind is still outside the city gate.

Such a grand occasion is really unprecedented.

The Tang Dynasty established the country with force, and the fierce generals were like clouds.

But looking at these generals, no matter how big the victory they are, how can anyone achieve such an achievement as the King of Shu?

The king of Shu fights, that is a steady stream of money!

The silver sent back by the king of Shu at one time was enough to cover the taxes of the Tang Dynasty for a year.

Seeing that the King of Shu had achieved such an achievement, the people of the entire Chang'an City were overjoyed and celebrated.

The officials of the household department are even more top-notch, with irrepressible smiles on their faces.

The most worrying thing for the officials of the household department is that the treasury is empty.

In this way, cartloads of silver were sent into the treasury.

It seems that even if Datang does not collect taxes for ten years, the treasury will not worry about expenditure.

The treasury is bulging, and the work of these officials can naturally be carried out easily.

If the work of the household department is done well, the officials of other ministries will naturally carry out their work.

In the past, they needed a lot of money.

But when it comes to the household department to ask for money, the household department often has to push back and deduct.

But now, as long as you open your mouth, the household will give money happily and generously.

They will even ask, is the money enough?

And next, the king of Shu went on another twist and turn.

It is written in the memo that the remnants of Goguryeo conspired to rebel and killed the king of Wa.

The king of Shu raised the army of justice and defeated the remnants of Yuangai Suwen in one fell swoop.

Now the Japanese kingdom has no leader, and the people's lives are precarious.

The people of the Japanese country strongly demanded to belong to the Tang Dynasty.

The younger brother did not dare to make his own decisions, and decided with the imperial brother.

Seeing this letter, Tang Emperor Li Ke couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"Everyone, Aiqing, this is a twist and turn on the king of Shu, everyone take a look and discuss it!"

Soon, a strong man stepped forward and took over the recital of the King of Shu from the hands of Tang Emperor Li Ke.

Then the fold will be handed over to the ministers below.

The civil and military officials below, after seeing the twists and turns of the King of Shu, praised one after another.

There is no doubt that such a thing must be agreed.

Although the Wa Kingdom is isolated overseas, it is still a land of projectiles.

However, this is really a work to expand the territory!

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he pacified Goguryeo, took the Wa Kingdom, and expanded the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty to Nuoda.

This kind of merit has even surpassed Taizu Taizong.

The new emperor's martial arts will surely achieve a generation of saints.

And as auxiliary ministers, they should also leave their names in history.

How could they not agree to such a good thing?

Of course, yes to yes.

But in practice, they still don't take the Japanese state very seriously.

This is also the ancient empire, the idea of a great Central Plains at work.

For example, in some times, they could have conquered the barbarian lands.

But they would rather prop up a regime close to him than occupy these places.

Because they feel that the occupation of these barren places, instead of actual benefits, is invested in them.

This kind of thing, they will definitely not do.

So for this kind of place, what they have always wanted is only to belong to reputation.

As for the actual management, I don't really care.

And now, the same is true of the thoughts of the ministers.

For a small island like the Wakoku, they didn't pay attention to it at all.

Since it is now part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is not appropriate to call it the Wa Kingdom again.

After negotiations with the ministers, it was decided to change it to Haibuk-do.

And the position of the envoy of Haibei Province is very painful for them.

To be able to serve as a festival envoy, he must be an important minister, and at the very least, he must also be a member of the three grades.

But among the officials of the three grades, which one is not high and powerful?

Let them run overseas and serve as the festival envoys of a small island?

It's banishment!

There is that Sanpin master, who is willing to go to such a place?

First of all, I found a middle-aged third-grade master, because he was strong and young, so he got this rare opportunity.

As a result, the next day, the third-grade officer contracted typhoid fever and took three months of sick leave.

On the Haibei Provincial side, it was naturally impossible to wait until he recovered from his illness for three months before taking office, so he had to choose another person.

Then, they looked for a second candidate.

This candidate is called Cui Hai, and he is a member of the Cui family.

Then, Cui Hai suddenly revealed that his father had passed away and was going home to worry.

It takes three years for Ding Wei to go, and this is filial piety.

The new emperor Li Ke naturally can't force others to go against filial piety, so this person is gone.

The third candidate, while riding in the carriage of the early dynasty, had a car accident.

As a result, he was seriously injured, and it is said that he has injured his muscles and bones, and he will not be able to return to work for at least 100 days.

Get!

These people are simply more ruthless than the other.

No one would want to go to work in such a remote and barren place as Haibei Province.

The ministers had no choice but to choose a new candidate.

However, those who can be qualified to serve as the envoys of the festival are nothing more than a few candidates.

After pondering and pondering, they agreed that the few remaining people could not go overseas willingly.

Therefore, they simply decided to directly promote exceptionally.

Of course, those who can be qualified for promotion may not necessarily want to go overseas.

Therefore, in the end, they decided to directly determine this candidate as Luo Bingwang of Yizhou.

This King Luo Bin is an old subordinate of King Shu.

Although he is not very qualified, as long as he is selected, he is unlikely to shirk.

As an old subordinate of the King of Shu, it is impossible to dismantle the platform of the King of Shu.

Sure enough, after the news was delivered to Yizhou, Luo Bingwang was very happy instead of refusing.

After all, as his current rank, it is almost impossible to achieve the position of temperance envoy.

But now, I actually reached the peak of my life in one step.

Although Haibei Province is isolated overseas, it is very far away from Datang.

But since the king of Shu is there, King Luo Bin does not have the slightest fear.

As a result, the Haibei Province Festival made the candidates finalized, and everyone was happy.

……

In this place, there are many silver mines.

In particular, the Iwami Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in the country and even in the world.

During the Song Dynasty, one-third of the world's silver was produced in the Wa Kingdom.

The Wa Kingdom was also known as the Silver Islands by the people of the time.

And the gold reserves of the Wa Kingdom are also very staggering.

From the 8th to the 16th century, the gold production of the Wa Kingdom was about 255 tons.

Before the gold rush in California began, the world mined 5,000 tons of gold.

The share of the Japanese state is about 5 percent of the world's total.

And how much of the territory of the Wa Kingdom occupies the world?

Of course, this time, Li Su mainly mined silver.

The purpose of mining silver is to use silver as currency.

The reason why Li Su is in a hurry to introduce silver as currency is because there are huge risks in Datang's current monetary system.

Because in recent years, Datang's economic development has been very rapid, and the growth of wealth is quite amazing.

And the increase in wealth requires the printing of more paper money.

But in fact, the real currency of Datang is copper coins.

Datang did not abolish copper coins, and in a short period of time, he did not dare to do so.

Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to a big mess.

At present, the copper ore mined by Datang every year is completely insufficient to mint copper coins.

In other words, the denomination of the banknotes circulating in the Datang market is far greater than the number of copper coins.

Now, because the paper money has a good reputation, there is no such thing as not being able to exchange copper coins.

In addition, paper money is easy to carry, so few people usually exchange paper money for copper money.

It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that.

But in reality, if someone maliciously disrupts the market.

It is entirely possible to hoard large quantities of banknotes and exchange them.

When the Chinese Commercial Bank could not exchange the copper coins, the credibility of the banknotes would plummet.

At that time, there will be a run.

Paper money may become a piece of waste paper.

The whole market will be completely destroyed.

And if you want to rectify the whole mess, I'm afraid it will take a few years or even more than ten years.

It will be an extremely fatal blow to Datang.

Li Su's main beware is still the four surnames and six wangs.

If they want to make trouble, Li Su really doesn't have a good way to prevent this.

Of course, if they really dare to do this, it will prove that the two sides have reached the point where the net is broken and they will not die.

In that case, there is no need to be polite to them.

Li Su will control them all before they completely disrupt the market.

However, if you do want to do this, it will actually lead to some bad consequences.

It's not very necessary, Li Su won't do it.

At this time, all he needs to do is mine a large amount of silver.

Then it was continuously transported to Chang'an.

Datang can use this silver to replace copper coins and become the main currency.

Of course, in a short time, copper coins will still be around.

However, it is no longer the main currency, but has been reduced to a supplementary currency.

In fact, the best way is to abolish this precious metal currency directly.

Because the cost of manufacturing is simply too high.

Printing banknotes is inexpensive, has good circulation, and is extremely convenient to use.

If, as in later generations, wealth is directly electronic, wealth is directly transformed into digital, which will be more cost-effective.

However, it will take some time to prepare for the abolition of precious metal currency.

If you are not fully prepared and abolish it rashly, there will be big problems.

In the Wa Province - it has now been changed to Haibuk Province, in the place where the Iwami silver mine was originally located.

Of course, this place, which has not yet been discovered and is not known at all, is also home to the world's largest silver mine.

There are already 100,000 Japanese people living here, and there are still Goguryeo soldiers.

Of course, all the Goguryeo soldiers, who committed the most heinous crimes, whose hands were stained with the blood of old men and children, or who had defiled women, were all killed.

As for how to tell the difference, it's even simpler.

Does this still need to be distinguished?

As long as someone points it out, they will all be singled out and killed.

As captives, they are sheep and cattle to be slaughtered.

Therefore, it is better to kill the wrong than to let go.

Because of these scumbags, they are alive, and they are a great factor of instability.

First, it will exacerbate the contradictions between them and the people of the Japanese state.

Over time, sooner or later it will erupt.

And now, Li Su killed a group of heinous Goguryeo soldiers in advance, and this conflict could not break out.

Second, these people are extremely despicable, and leaving them behind is a great factor of instability.

However, more than 10,000 of the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers were originally killed.

Now a batch has been cleaned again, and now there are only six or seven thousand people left.

Moreover, these six or seven thousand people were also scattered by Li Su and did not allow them to gather together.

Here, a shantytown was built.

There are more than 100,000 people living here, and all of these 100,000 people are young and strong.

Because the old man and the child were basically killed by Yuangai Suwen.

These shanty towns, of course, are not permanent places of residence.

It's just that to resettle these 100,000 people, it is too late to build houses now, so we can only use shantytowns to arrange them temporarily.

On the other side, Li Su has already organized manpower and began to burn cement and plan the urban area.

At present, this is a barren land.

Not to mention which Japanese people, or Goguryeo soldiers.

Even Cheng Chuliang and Xue Rengui didn't understand why the prince would place so many people here.

It's a bit cheap and inconvenient to settle in.

However, they have been staying by Li Su's side for a long time.

They know too well the magic of Li Su.

Since the prince asked to be placed here, there must be a purpose for him.

Refining cement, burning bricks and tiles, naturally indispensable experts mobilized from Datang.

And because of the development of a series of projects, a large number of people also have to be gathered.

The recruited workers are paid ten cents a day, and they are in charge of three meals and drinks.

The daily salary of ten cents, if it is in Datang, it is estimated that even a sixty-year-old man will not be able to be employed.

But here, the salary of ten cents actually made those Japanese people grateful.

They felt that this must be because the Tang Dynasty prince took pity on them and deliberately gave such a high salary.

Because in their own world, they are paid at most five cents a day, and they don't have to take care of food.

Therefore, they also work very hard.

The food here is really rich.

Steamed white rice with 100 noodles, stewed in a large pot, with a layer of oil flowers inside.

Everyone gets a big bowl of food, and there are four or five fatty slices in it.

This food, touched by them, while eating, they all want to cry silently.

It's so good to eat every day, not to mention paying back the salary, even if you don't pay the salary, you can do it!

And they heard that the houses built here were built for them.

Of course, these houses need to be bought with their money.

It is natural for the Tang Dynasty prince to spend money to build a house and then sell it to them.

The first batch of houses is almost ready.

Which yard looks, which one is called a beautiful.

If they can live in such a beautiful house in this life, for them, they will really die without regrets.

However, the house is beautiful and the price is very expensive.

I heard that this house costs 20,000 yuan!

Now they can be said to be penniless, except for the ten cents they can earn every day, their pockets are really cleaner than their faces.

They don't have the money to buy it.

However, I heard that the Tang Dynasty prince also fully considered this.

As a result, they can apply for a loan.

With zero down payment, you can move in directly and pay off the loan in installments over 20 years.

I have to repay 200 yuan every month.

Two hundred dollars is really a huge pressure on them.

However, if there are two people working in the family, they can still afford it.

One person has 300 wen a month, and two people have 600 wen.

You only need to repay 200 yuan a month, which is not a big problem.

The construction of the house is in full swing.

The Chinese Commercial Bank also officially settled in Haibei Road.

All kinds of shops have sprung up in every town in Haibuk-do.

The dazzling array of goods made those Japanese people dazzled.

There are so many things that they have never seen in their lives.

Moreover, some things, which price, are indeed not very expensive.

And at present, Haibei Province, construction is going on everywhere.

In the hands of these Japanese people, they have more or less spare money.

With this money, they can happily buy the goods they need.

At this time, Haibei Province Jiedu made King Luo Bin take office.

After sailing on the sea for several days, Luo Bingwang's heart was a little cold.

This place is really remote enough.

No wonder, which bigwigs are either pretending to be sick, or worrying, or simply artificially causing car accidents.

I'd rather have broken bones than come to this place.

When I just came to Haibei Road and went ashore, what I saw was a deserted town ruins.

This town has been burned beyond recognition, and it is impossible to see what it used to be.

Because it is dark and has no life, even the birds and birds do not want to patronize here.

Seeing this scene, Luo Bingwang's heart became even colder.

Soon, he came to Silver City.

Of course, this silver city is naturally a city built outside of the silver mine.

This name was also given by Li Su.

After coming here, Luo Bingwang's eyes suddenly lit up.

The so-called broken and re-established, not broken and not established.

I just said, where there is a master, how can it be bad?

The construction here is exactly the same as the original Yizhou!

I believe that in less than ten years, this Haibei Province will be able to become a rich place.

Now here, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and it is a good place for you to show your talents.

I became a festival envoy at a young age, isn't this all thanks to the blessing of the master?

Thinking of this, Luo Bingwang began to get excited again.

The first thing to do next, of course, Luo Bingwang was going to visit the master.

Soon, Luo Bingwang met Li Su.

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship."

Li Su laughed, stepped forward to help King Luo Bing up, and then said to him: "I don't know what those old guys in the court think?" ”

"Such a good paradise, no one wants to come? This time, it's your chance! ”

Luo Bingwang said respectfully: "The apprentice is willing to listen to the master's teachings. ”

Li Su smiled and said: "Actually, the development model of Haibei Province is similar to that of Yizhou. ”

"Although it is not as rich in tourism resources as Yizhou, it is home to the world's largest silver mine."

"Here, it's really a silver mountain! Guarding Yinshan, are you still afraid that the development of Haibei Road will not be good? ”

"Here, it is also necessary to introduce a large number of Tang people, and then come to a cultural fusion to truly become a part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Also, you don't have to be too nice to the people here. These people, in their personalities, have a kind of cheapness, if they are too good to them, they will lose themselves. ”

What Li Su said, King Luo Bin firmly remembered in his heart.

Even for fear that he would forget, he took out a pen and paper and recorded them one by one.

What the master said must be a wise saying.

As long as you listen to the master, you will be right.

However, there is still something that Luo Bingwang does not understand about the master's teachings.

Luo Bingwang couldn't help asking: "Master, your teachings will be remembered by the apprentices." However, if you want the Tang people to migrate to Haibei Province, isn't this a bit big! ”

"The wealth of the inland is comparable to that of Haibei Province, I'm afraid not many people are willing to come here, right?"

Hearing Luo Bingwang's words, Li Su couldn't help but laugh and said, "Actually, this matter is very easy to do. ”

"First of all, the development of many fields in Haibei Province is extremely backward. Which experts you can spend a lot of money on recruiting. ”

"In the future, leaders in every industry will spend a lot of money on recruitment."

"Which Tang people do you want to know that this Haibei Road is full of money."

"As long as they are willing to come, they can pick up until they are soft."

"Man dies for money, and birds die for things. There are benefits, and it will naturally attract more people. ”

"Also, as long as those who are literate and can read and write, they will all be paid high wages."

"It's the same with Haibei Province, you have to make them understand the benefits of being able to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters."

After listening to the master's words, King Luo Bing suddenly became enlightened.

The master's resourcefulness is really unfathomable.

Following the master's side, Luo Bingwang completely has a feeling of living and learning.

During this time, the first houses had already been built.

However, very few people come to buy a house with zero down payment loan.

It's not that the house is bad.

The house is so beautifully built.

Moreover, this house was built by their people.

The quality of the house, absolutely just.

They are worried that they will not be able to repay the loan.

Now they can also work on the construction site.

What if the house is finished?

When the time comes, where will they get so much money to pay off the mortgage every month?
