Chapter 627: Word of mouth
Huang Han was overjoyed to see Huang Yong's report and learn that three new trade routes had been opened and he could buy nearly one million stone of rice.
He was also even happier when he learned that he had paid a million taels of silver to prepare for the sea, and when he returned, the ship was not only full of goods, but also brought back more than a million taels of silver and more than 200,000 taels of gold.
It is not surprising that there is a lot of gold in Xiyi, because copper and gold are born side by side, and the colonists plundered resources around the world, and the Spaniards were able to obtain gold when they mined copper in South America and Luzon Minor.
It's just that the value of gold at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not high, and the ratio to silver has been hovering between eight and ten to one.
Huang Han wrote a letter to Huang Yong, Song Pengfei, Huang Kezao, Shen Cunli, Peng Jiawang, Wang Yuqi and other military and civilian officials.
Let them not rest on their laurels, spend their gold and silver, build a large number of warships and merchant ships, spare no effort to produce large-caliber artillery and equip warships, expand the assembly line for the production of self-generated guns, increase hydraulic and animal-powered drilling machines, and strive to double the output of Mini guns.
The base areas operating along the Yangtze River received a large number of war refugees to southern and western Liaoning, and the land resources could not meet the needs of the surging population for farming, and the major factories were expanding to try to absorb the surplus labor.
Many refugees have received food and clothing and are physically strong, and many people envy the treatment of the "Red Banner Army".
There are more and more troops, and the overall quality has been improving, and not only has the garrison army expanded a lot, but the regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" are also steadily increasing in size by two or three percent a year.
Every year, a quarter of the performers in the Weisho Army are given the opportunity to become regulars, which further stimulates them to be enthusiastic about learning literature and martial arts, and active trainers abound.
The construction of Qingniwakou is on a large scale, consuming a huge amount of steel, cement, bricks and tiles, and the labor involved in the construction is as high as 50,000 or 60,000, and this place with a pleasant climate will be built into a livable city.
The government's infrastructure construction project is a good way to solve the employment crisis, and Huang Han, who has too much capital, has of course spared no effort, not only to build green mud depressions, but also to build grain depots and warehouses in Haizhou and Nantong Prefecture.
Pulling construction will drive the vigorous development of many downstream industries, not only 100,000 construction workers to get jobs, but also millions of actual jobs.
It is believed that when the DPRK is taken over the management of the DPRK, the 5 million people who have emigrated will be able to guarantee that each household will be given 350 mu of fertile land for cultivation.
Huang Han also drew a few drawings and sent them back to southern Liaoning, ordering Peng Jiawang to take charge of the research and development team with Qin Jiaji, Chen Keda, Li Gui and the three of them to study the minting of gold, silver and copper coins.
Seeing that the system is developing well, the "Sifang Qianzhuang" has been opened all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the credibility is well-known, it is time to launch gold, silver and copper coins that have both the actual value of precious metals and the credit value of the "Red Flag Army" system.
Huang Han thought about it, as long as he left the Beijing division and returned to southern Liaoning to lead the troops, it was impossible to put himself in a dangerous place without thousands of troops and horses by his side, and the Beijing division could come, but he would lead thousands of troops and horses to be stationed outside the Guangqu Gate.
Therefore, once he left the capital, he began to use his own currency in the system, and then it would be imposed on the Ming Dynasty, and whether he wanted to use the gold, silver, and copper coins issued by the "Sifang Qianzhuang".
This is the only way, and it is also to reduce the burden of the small people in Shengdou, reduce the waste of resources caused by fire consumption, and make the officials have one less way to exploit the people.
On the eighth day of August in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the compilation headquarters of the "Chongzhen Great Dictionary" was disbanded, leaving only Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang, the two chief editors, and Liu Lishun, Ma Shiqi and other more than 20 scholars to accept feedback, record and demonstrate the revised content.
At the same time as eating a casual meal, Yichun Yuan officially opened for business, and the first order of business was of course Huang Han's banquet for all the scholars who participated in the compilation.
At the banquet, Huang Han sang Linjiang Immortal rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, which caused dozens of scholars to be angry and rush to the crown, they relied on the strength of wine to discuss the government in vain, thinking that the imperial court did not need to let go of the Dongping Marquis who could recruit the all-round talents of civil and military affairs.
The scholars stirred up the topic, and soon the Qingliu scholars joined the trolls, and finally it developed to the point that hundreds of scholars were not satisfied with the court's attitude towards Huang Han, and they all shouted that they wanted to play the court for the Dongping Marquis.
The next day, there were many Beijing officials who made an excerpt, some of them simply played directly in the early dynasty, some suggested that the imperial court appoint Huang Han as the governor of the capital to attack Jiannu and recover Jinzhou, and some recommended the Marquis of Dongping as the governor of the five provinces to enter the interior to exterminate the Liukou.
I didn't expect that organizing scholars to compile the "Chongzhen Dictionary" would gain the hearts of many civil officials, which was very unexpected.
After all, Huang Han was not at fault, and the emperor only stayed in Beijing to be a free marquis because he was extremely worried that he led his troops and threatened the imperial power.
Now the civil officials and military generals almost unanimously asked the Son of Heaven to let the Marquis of Dongping lead the troops, and the words he said were justified and the emperor could not refute them, and he could not admit that he refused to use the Marquis of Dongping to lead the troops only because of suspicion, which seemed to lose the tolerance of the heavenly family.
Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department who was disturbed by Liukou and Jiannu in turn, decided not to figure out the holy will, and he also played the right game.
The words are scorching Chongzhen's eight years, this eventful autumn disaster is not a single line, with the talented Dongping Marquis to fight the construction of slaves, Liaodong is worry-free, and with the Dongping Marquis to suppress the Liukou is the stability of the five provinces.
In the history of Chongzhen in May of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers who had changed the name of the country once again ravaged the land of Gyeonggi, and the Beijing division was under martial law again.
In September, Jiannu retired, Jingshi lifted martial law, Zhang Fengyi happened to be poisoned and died, even so Chongzhen also discussed the crime and seized his office, and after two years he was rehabilitated and restored.
This shows how unreliable Chongzhen, the emperor, is! In the end, the rebellion of relatives was not an accidental incident, but Chongzhen's killing of the feudal officials was too ruthless, and the negative impact was immeasurable, and the vast majority of civil and military generals were completely chilled.
Zhang Fengyi, who was always ready to lead the death with Chongzhen's military department, was really anxious, because the state affairs were getting more and more difficult, and he felt that he couldn't do it anymore.
Zhang Fengyi, who knew the emperor's temperament, had no hope, so he didn't care about the emperor's face at all, and his words were very polite, and he had the intention of not using Huang Han again.
Wen Zhenmeng, a cabinet minister who was originally preparing to retire, saw through the emperor even more and was very disappointed in him, regardless of whether the Son of Heaven liked it or not, he also high-profile seconded the performance of Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
