Chapter 148: The Commander of the Mine
Okay, the very lively New Year will be interrupted, and the people who come will suddenly attract the attention of the ministers here, and for the person who reported the news, it is really a lot of pressure for a while.
Wenchen is not good at physical cultivation, but their spiritual power is extremely strong, the collective gaze of the Manchu civil officials, and the spiritual oppression that is inadvertently revealed, makes this little soldier who seems a little pitiful at this time feel unbearable.
Hearing Liu Chan's question, the person who came hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, copper mine!" Copper ore! We've found a copper mine! And it's also a good copper mine. ”
The people who came shouted again and again, as if they deliberately emphasized the joy in their hearts, and this joy detonated the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty even more, everyone here knows very well that this year is the most difficult year since the founding of Shu, although the founding of Shu has been two years in total.
In this year, they witnessed the changes of Shu, the departure of the ancestors, the succession of the new emperor, and in the face of Cao Pi's destruction of Shu, they avoided the crisis of annihilation at the smallest cost, which made everyone feel a little incredible in retrospect now!
The establishment of Juxiantang, although Liu Chan repeatedly emphasized that this is not an official institution, but this is indeed an institution for training officials, the first big competition, so that many talents have emerged, and most of these talents have entered the officialdom, nearly eighty percent of them have become His Majesty's people, just because, they entered the dragoon, now, Dragoon has become synonymous with His Majesty, it can be said that except for His Majesty, no one can order the leader of the dragoon, Chen to.
In the dragoon, these people and other newcomers are nurtured every day in an atmosphere of loyalty to Your Majesty and the supremacy of Your Majesty, and if this continues, they will naturally become Your Majesty's private army, and in addition to the Jingzhou faction and the Yizhou faction in Shuzhong, I am afraid that there will be one more Xinjun faction.
The government funded and built a large number of government-run enterprises, which made the imperial court get rid of the situation of relying solely on taxes to increase income, so that it had other paths, and significantly increased the annual income of the imperial court. People are nothing more than the most important, and there are people who have everything!
However, just when the economy of Shuzhong was about to leap forward, new economic problems appeared, like a blow to the head, giving the soon-to-be-expanding Shu a sober understanding. In this year, Shuzhong has indeed survived countless difficulties, but there are also many legacy problems, the biggest of which is the rise in prices in Shuzhong and the rebellion in Nanzhong.
The economic problems in Shuzhong seem to be troublesome, in fact, if you want to solve them fundamentally, you need copper mines to restore the five-baht money system and restore the purchasing power of copper coins.
Now well, with the copper mine, it is equivalent to having a copper coin, once the copper coin enters the minting stage, within a few days, with the flow of five baht currency into the market, Shuzhong prices and other economic problems will naturally be solved.
However, the discovery of copper ore is one thing, and the specific amount of copper ore must be understood, after all, the quantity is too small to solve the economic problem.
Hearing about the discovery of copper mines, Liu Chan is the most happy, Liu Chan does not like to push things back, especially for economic problems, Liu Chan hopes to be able to solve this year, and now it seems that it is really possible.
"Where? How many can you find out? What team are you and who is the captain? ”
A series of questions made the people suddenly become more nervous, but they didn't dare to slack off, and then they said a little hesitantly: "Back to Your Majesty, we are the nineteenth squad, the captain is Lord Li Ling, after thirteen days of exploration, it was finally found in the suburbs of Bashan County, Ba County, after our analysis, this mine is afraid that there are tens of millions of tons!" ”
Liu Chan knew that there were copper mines in Shu, such as the Yunnan mine, but he didn't know the specific location, and now, Liu Chan has no leisure to care whether this is the Yunnan mine of later generations, as long as it can save the economy of Shuzhong, which is about to explode.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuanjia five years of the standard weight of the five baht money is five baht, the Han system is two hundred and fifty grams, and one baht is 0.65 grams, five baht is 3.25 grams, the ancients man-made words to the number of years, from one, extreme in nine, five is the middle number, but also the expression of heaven, earth and people.
According to this calculation, it seems that a large number of copper coins can be minted, and today's Shuzhong, the population is withering, and the purchasing power of the market is far less than that of the Han Dynasty, so according to Liu Chan's estimate, it should be enough to tide over the difficulties, and then slowly adjust the issuance of copper coins in the imperial court by discovering other ores, and then control the market.
"I said before, whoever can take the lead in finding copper mines and solving the economic imbalance in Shuzhong, I will reward whom, now the ministers of civil and military affairs are gathered in this palace, I will issue an order, promote Li Ling to be the general of the mine, Liu Ye, Deng Ping to assist him in supervising the minting of five baht coins, and Dong Yun is fully responsible!"
Liu Ye and Deng Ping are two of the top thirty in the Juxian Pavilion Dabi Chinese test, these two people are not very prominent, but after Liu Chan's investigation, these two people all belong to the Hanmen faction, non-Shi children, in the top thirty, the Shi children account for the majority after all, Liu Chan wants to "brainwash" them, the difficulty is indeed not small, but the Hanmen children are different, Liu Chan can easily control them, because everything they want, Liu Chan can give! It is also possible to give!
In addition, in fact, strictly speaking, the top thirty, except for the top few talents, the level of the others is almost the same, so under many factors, these two people are suitable for Liu Chan's choice, and this is also Liu Chan's first step to push the talents of Juxian Pavilion to the court, if Liu Chan dominates the world in the future, his next plan will urgently need this group of poor disciples to contribute, and today's move can be regarded as paving the way for the future.
Shuzhong economic problems now have a solution, undoubtedly make the ministers present more happy, after Liu Chan before the rough elimination of a number of moths, the current Shuzhong court out of factional disputes, in terms of the overall degree of loyalty, enough to rank first in the Three Kingdoms.
Wei Ting is because of the implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and internal instability, Jiangdong because of the scholar factor, although Sun Ce is brave, in the face of the scholar clan still chooses to cooperate, trying to cut off the scholar clan after the great cause is completed, but he died young, a bunch of potential problems were left to Sun Quan, although Sun Quan has a strategy, but less radical Sun Ce, so far for the Jiangdong scholar clan is still in a weak situation.
The main purpose of the children of the Shi clan is how to protect their current interests on the premise of seeking greater interests, it is precisely because of this that on the eve of the outbreak of the Battle of Chibi fifteen years ago, Cao Cao frightened the Jiangdong ministers to surrender to Sun Quan with just one letter!
