After the meal, a cup of tea, relieved and comfortable, in the fragrance of tea, everyone continued to discuss the government affairs of Shaanxi, especially at this time full of wine and food, but also a unique spirit, talking about things Brother thought jumping, whimsical ideas are full of ideas.

Zhao Zi, who was drinking tea gently, just tilted Zheng Hao, carefully tasted the tea fragrance in his mouth, and couldn't help but chuckle: "My inspector's eyes are bright, and Zhao Xing's sergeant is strict and fair, as long as your officials don't make a nest of thieves, then I will be much more relieved." ”

Zheng Hao, who originally wanted to ridicule Zhao Zi, didn't expect to set himself on fire, and was pushed back by Zhao Zi with a word, and the embarrassment could only be covered up with a continuous cough.

At this time, the third uncle looked at the conversation that had always been off-topic, and quickly knocked on the table and reminded everyone present loudly: "Off topic, off topic, I'm talking about silver, but you talked about the thief, where is this, come on, let's talk about silver." ”

Lu Shi stood up, and the little girl held Lu Shi's hand tightly, "In fact, the problem of salt is easy to solve, not far from our Ganquan ferry, which is Yancheng in Shanxi, where salt is produced, and the amount is large, just smuggle it into Shaanxi, anyway, as long as the merchant has money to make, there are thousands of ways to transport salt into Shaanxi." In Lu Hanqiang's eyes, there are actually many things that do not need to be exchanged for human lives, as long as there are enough interests, then nothing is no longer a problem.

Interests decide everything, but Shaanxi's Chuang Wangfu has to pay more to write silver, and the silver is in Shaanxi, and the opportunity is useless metal, which can only be piled up in the warehouse and left to rot.

In fact, at this time, the economic collapse of the Ming Dynasty was still related to the silver, a large amount of silver poured into the country, but the Ming Dynasty did not have time to implement the reform of the silver standard as a monetary base, which resulted in disguised inflation, one or two silver in addition to Shaanxi, can no longer buy a stone of grain, which is equivalent to reducing the price of grain, so that the people's land income is reduced again, therefore, there are more and more poor people, and the taxes are getting heavier and heavier, until the final collapse.

Therefore, it is not good to have more silver.

At this time, Li Chunhou, who was the head of the household, opened his mouth and took over the topic of Lu Shi: "King Chuang, I stayed at Ganquan Ferry for a while, and I know the situation of the ferry, Ganquan is an exit for us to the outside, and it has become an important shop and fortress under the construction of Erlang, but after all, it is still the world of the Ming Dynasty after all, from Yancheng to the ferry, the road is far away, and the officers and soldiers along the way are guarded layer by layer, which can be described as a strict guard, and it is not easy to transport salt over. What's even more hateful is that Hong Chengchou, who has been promoted to the governor of the military garrison of the five provinces, is indeed a talent, and he has remediated the Yellow River between Shanxi and Shaanxi like an iron bucket, and the merchants can't come at all, so the Shangcai has caused a salt shortage in our Shaanxi, what should you say about this. ”

Lu Shi looked up at the sky and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Feelings, everyone is still going around and around to let me fight." ”

Brothers here, you look at me, I look at you, and then smile bitterly together, if you don't fight, there will be no salt.

For Lu Shi, a peaceful leader who always wears a faint smile, in his heart, he is actually the most reluctant to fight, because in his opinion, as long as there is a war, there will be brothers killed and wounded, and a person who can cry when he sees his brothers killed and injured on the siege battlefield, it is simply too difficult for you to let him take the initiative to provoke a war.

However, Shaanxi has broken away from the Ming Dynasty and become an independent kingdom, but Shaanxi's production is limited, and there are many things that must rely on the supply of the entire country of the Ming Dynasty, which is also due to the geographical environment, and there is no way to do it.

There are many things that cannot fully meet the needs of Shaanxi by businessmen alone, and the most critical things must be placed under their own control in order to feel at ease, such as the current salt, which can only meet the needs of Shaanxi by putting it in their own pockets.

As soon as he heard about the battle, Generalissimo Guo Tianxing Huo Ran stood up, his two eyebrows flew to the top of his head, waved his golden arms, and roared loudly: "Okay, good, good, what is Hong Chengchou, what is He Renlong, we haven't had a fight, which time didn't he beat him all over the ground looking for ashes?" This time, we dared to block our Yellow River and cut off our salt in and out, so what else can I say, just hit it, take down Yancheng, and then I will invite everyone to drink salt water every day. ”

As soon as this remark came out, although it was arrogant, the latter sentence made everyone spray rice, and a dignified generalissimo started a war, and its purpose was just to invite everyone to drink salt water every day, which is also too.

Li Chunhou, the head of the household department, looked at the generalissimo's eagerness to try, and was infinitely comforted in his heart, in this Chuang Wang's Mansion, Chuang Wang Lu Shi has not been in power, and wanted to give power to each other with the big boss Guo Tianxing, and there was also a beautiful talk through the ages that Lu Shi wanted to run away and was angry and vomited blood and fainted, so on the ground, the leader of the whole Shaanxi in the Chuang Wangfu is the King of Chuang, but as long as Guo Tianxing said something almost Lu Shi did not refute, and Guo Tianxing was even more forward-looking with Lu Shi, the king of Chuang, and there was no disobedience at all, in Guo Tianxing's head, Lu Shi's words were not wrong, as long as it is executed, it is absolutely correct, so as long as it is said that the stars have been moved, it is almost said that the unenterprising king Lu Shi has been moved

In fact, in Lu Shi's unenterprising matter, several brothers behind the rest of the anxiety, the whole Shaanxi has been peaceful in the world, but the next day is full of troubles, hundreds of people are displaced, and they are needed to save these brothers, although everyone said that the crown spring, in fact, there is still a selfish existence, looking at his own strong soldiers, looking at his own support and following Lu Shiren and benevolence, if he can be the Ming Emperor, then the people of the world can not only get peace, but also stand on the majestic and tall Jinluan Palace in the Forbidden City of Beijing, is much more beautiful than everyone squeezing in Xi'an's two vertical and horizontal chambers to talk about political affairs, especially the civil official group headed by the first assistant Chen Ce, who has a soft spot for controlling the world

But everything is bad on this but, but what is needed to fight the world is military generals and soldiers, it is the army, it is not a group of literati sitting at the wine table and scolding Fang Xuan, and becoming a unified after pointing out the country, that is a dream, that is YY, therefore, the king and the generalissimo who control the army are not determined to fight for the world, and their group of literati can only hide on the wine table to scold Fang Xuan and point out the country, and make a small dream YY

At this time, talking about the salt issue finally touched the generalissimo's silent heart of Guo Tianxing, so that King Lu Shi had to cheer up and set off a storm again

Lu Shi looked at Guo Tianxing, who was already eager to try, and asked helplessly: "Does a salt problem have to be solved by war, can't it be solved with silver?" I believe that anything that can be solved with money is not a thing, and everything that can be solved with money does not need to be solved with life, which is fundamental. ”

Looking at King Chuang, who was still a little hesitant, Li Chunhou had to add firewood to the fire, and pretended to report with a sad face: "My King Chuang, I also know that what money can solve is not a thing, but we don't have money, the money I am talking about is silver, not the RMB we issued, and as the third uncle said, for the sake of salt, we have spent most of the silver we can get, and now the most important thing, you don't know about King Chuang." ”

Looking at Lu Shi who was full of doubts, Li Chunhou reported to Lu Shi: "We occupied the whole of Shaanxi, at the beginning of the day it was one place at a time, step by step, slowly growing and developing, not only got a large number of the most loyal people, but also got a large number of gentry and businessmen who had confidence in us, but with the battle of Weinan, all of a sudden across the Ming group headed by Hong Chengchou, at that time Hong Chengchou sorted out to defend Xi'an, the Ming army to defend Weinan has collected all the troops in Shaanxi, including the border army, At the same time, the bastard Zhang Yuan and Zhou Ji almost also snared the whole of Shaanxi against our landlords and strong townsmen, the result of that battle was quite dangerous, I am still afraid when I think about it, the victory will be the whole of Shaanxi, and the defeat will be abandoned, and there is no place to bury

Fortunately, God blessed, King Chuang's bravery was a success, and as a result, Hong Chengchou escaped from Tongguan with the remnants of the defeated army, and defeated Shanxi and Henan, so that there was almost no soldier in Shaanxi, and the result made it easy for us to get the full credit. ”

Thinking of the battle in Weinan at that time, it can be described as very dangerous, as Li Chunhou said, now that I think about it, the brothers here are still afraid, at that time, it was really defeated, and everyone now doesn't know where to survive.

But fortunately, everything has passed, and everything has ended with the victory of King Chuang, so everyone can sit here and talk about it.

But Li Chunhou frowned, and continued his pessimistic tone, "The first war will be in Shaanxi, but unfortunately this is a good thing but also a bad thing, so many places in Shaanxi, not at all gradually converged, but pouted, the masses just follow the trend, the strong forces have no loss, and our policies have damaged their interests, and do not return to their hearts, as a result, our RMB can circulate among the people, but it is difficult to pass in the hands of the gentry and heroes, those gentry and heroes still fantasize about changing the sky, waiting for the imperial army to fight back to Shaanxi, and now we are powerful, They didn't dare to do anything, so they thought of the law to exchange the RMB they got into cash, and then hid it, so that the silver we had accumulated and the inventory of more than a dozen princes such as the King of Qin was more than 50 million taels, and it was slowly exchanged and hidden by these people, and now the inventory of our household department is only 5 million taels, and it has been difficult to continue to issue the renminbi with silver as a margin, especially the people in the newly occupied land, seeing the rich gentry hoarding gold and silver, it also caused panic. In some places, even if the government loan gets the renminbi in hand, it will be exchanged for real money and silver in a blink of an eye, and there are rumors that the treasury has no silver, and if you don't exchange the renminbi, it will become waste paper, so we don't dare to use all the silver to buy a huge amount of salt, or the rule that you promised to exchange 100 yuan for one tael of silver will come to naught, so that not only will your reputation be damaged, but even our palace will go bankrupt. ”

Li Chunhou's long speech, which was justified and well-founded, immediately made everyone at the dinner table fall into deep thought.

Zhao Zi, who was old and serious, was not worry-free, frowning and affirming: "Hubu Shangshu is right, once the run becomes a trend, our credit will go bankrupt, and at that time, there may be a recurrence in the whole of Shaanxi.

Everyone has absolute confidence in Lu Shi's endless whimsical ideas, and this problem, which is absolutely impossible for contemporary people to solve even if they want to break their heads, can only be thrown to the omnipotent Lu Shi.

Looking at the eyes full of trust and expectation, Lu Shi could only smile bitterly.

The best and only way to deal with the run is that you have a lot of gold and silver there, so that the people can see that they have the bottom in their hearts, but they are not immortals, where can I get so much gold and silver, and I can't fight the local tyrants again in my own base to divide the land, that is not to collect gold and silver to quell the run, that is to force people to rebel, and it is no different from looking for death.

In fact, Lu Shi knows that everyone poses such a problem, in the final analysis, it is still one thing, that is, to rush out, looking for silver outside, to put it bluntly, it is to rush out, so that the people of Shaanxi can see their strength, and then accumulate more strong credibility in this continuous victory.

"By the way, put the gold and silver out for everyone to see, and the hearts of the people will be settled." Lu Shi was immediately moved by his genius, and waved his hand with bright eyes, "Since it is put out, then put it all out, just pile up a mountain of silver in front of Hubu Square, and let everyone see, we have silver, and there are many of them that have to be taken out to dry, or they will be moth-eaten and moldy, what do you think?" ”

A mountain of silver? Everyone looked at each other, and was helplessly ready to accept this method, since King Chuang said that he didn't want to fight, this was not a method. But the third uncle, who was tinkering with silver all day long, frowned, five million taels of silver is not cotton, not sand, that is a big pile, even if it is all piled there, it will not become a mountain, and the top beam can only be regarded as a mound, which cannot play a deterrent role at all

At this time, Lu Shi smiled slyly and said: "Actually, there is another way, that is, to melt the silver and pour it into a real silver mountain, in this way, one is to prevent thieves, the other is to be magnificent, and the most important thing is, third uncle, you can build this silver mountain into a hollow, and by then you will be as big as you want." Then he looked at the stunned ministers, smiled, bent down and pulled the cat-like little girl and said, "Niece, we won't play in this small courtyard in the future, and we will climb the silver mountain if we have nothing to do in the future." But he turned his head and said to Li Wenzhong of the Ministry of Industry very seriously: "That's right." "The silver mountain road is slippery, you must cast a step for me, or I will fall my little girl, I will not have the salary to treat her, so I am ready to kill you.

Li Wenzhong heard this, took a sip of tea, and completely sprayed it on Li Chunhou's face opposite.
