Chapter 137: Open the granary and collect copper coins

Leaving the market, Kong Ming walked quickly towards the palace, making Yang Yi, who joined the army, chase after him.

Although Kong Ming is a cultivator of the rune path, his physical fitness is still good, far from being as fragile as those other runes, once he gets close to the Xuan, he will be completely passive. What's more, when he was young, before he followed the first emperor to fight in the south and the north, Kong Ming often traveled to the north and south of the river, mountains and rivers and plains, if he didn't have a good body, how could he do this?

When he was in a hurry, Kong Ming still kept thinking of the previous picture, the old man was originally full of confidence and hope for himself, but in the end, Kong Ming saw more doubt, distrust, and disappointment!

This change made him very worried, he thought that the matter would be very serious, but he did not expect that the matter would be more serious than he imagined, after all, he had not personally investigated recently, all he knew was a bunch of data, and where the data caught up with reality was more impactful.

In the study, Liu Chan was holding a geology book, reading carefully, and his frowning brows all showed his inner sorrow.

If we want to solve the economic problems in Shuzhong, we must start from the root cause and restore the five-baht money system. Copper ore! In the previous life, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou had copper mines, and Yunnan even had Yunnan mines, which were real copper mines.

What makes Liu Chan anxious is that he doesn't know anything about copper mine exploration and mining, and he has no way to start, he is sure that there is definitely a mine in Shu, but he doesn't know where it is, and he can only sweep the net in desperation, and he has to repeatedly sprinkle a few more layers, and the survey team sent out in the past few days has been as many as dozens of groups, and Liu Chan has proposed a rich reward, who can find the copper mine, the captain is directly promoted to the general of the mine, and he is responsible for the copper mining found.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and I hope that the rich reward will make them work harder and not let themselves down.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Huang Hao suddenly called softly to the side.

His eyes gradually rose, and he immediately left the book, looking at Huang Hao with a smiling face, Liu Chan said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?" ”

The smile on his face was even worse, and Huang Hao replied: "The Prime Minister is here, it seems that there is something urgent!" The slave had never seen her in such a hurry. ”

"In a hurry?" There are only about 20 days left before the Chinese New Year, and the things that should have happened in Shuzhong and what should not have happened have basically happened, Liu Chan can't think of anything else that can alarm Zhuge Liang, could it be that there is movement in Dongwu?

"Biography!" "No!"

Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, Liu Chan got up and prepared to greet Kong Ming, after all, this is his father!

I'm afraid that he is really in a hurry, Huang Hao went out for a while, Kong Ming strode in, and after seeing Liu Chan, he quickly gave a salute, although there was no big problem, but Liu Chan could see that compared to before, Kong Ming's behavior today seemed to be a little less rigorous.

"I don't know what made Xiangfu so impatient, and he actually lost his temper a little!" Liu Chan was a little curious. "But has Soochow changed?"

"It's not a matter of Dongwu, but a matter of my Shuzhong!"

"Father, could it be that I have suffered another accident in Shuzhong?" This time, Liu Chan's expression was a little dignified, and he was even more resentful in his heart, if he didn't do this, the economic problem had not been completely solved, and there were changes, this is really to put Shu Kingdom to death!

"Nothing else has changed, it's still an economic problem!"

Hearing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Liu Chan said: "Father, we have sent out more than 40 teams to find copper mines, and the construction of Changping positions in various places is also in full swing, and the relevant departments are also recovering the copper coins circulating in the market, it can be said that we have done our best, and the rest is just to depend on the destiny of heaven!" ”

What Liu Chan said is exactly what he thinks in his heart, he should do his best, and the rest depends on whether God will favor the big man, and even Liu Chan often fantasizes about the plot in the TV series, such as a rain and mudslide under a mountain, a landslide, and someone happened to pass by, of course, it is not that he was crushed to death, but that he found an ore hidden in the depths of the soil!

Although it was a little soothing, Kong Ming could still hear a little eagerness in his words: "Your Majesty! From this aspect alone, we did the best, but we overlooked one detail, which is also the biggest problem! That's the people! ”

"Isn't this precisely to stabilize the market, restore normal market trading, and benefit the people?"

"But that's the result, we ignored the people at this time, although we made a series of measures to solve the economic problems in Shuzhong, but Your Majesty, we ignored, or didn't think about what they should do before the problem was completely solved!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, Liu Chan seemed puzzled, and asked, "What does Father Xiangfu mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister sent Zhang Envoy back to Jiangdong today, and when he came back, he wanted to see how the market is today, and he really didn't know the suffering of the people, and now the shops refuse to accept copper coins and only accept gold and silver, but where can the people get gold and silver, and no one will exchange gold and silver for copper coins at all, so how can the people be good?"

After listening, Liu Chan did not speak immediately, but fell into contemplation, it seems that this is really the case, I often see the scene of a thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of gold on TV, so that Liu Chan has no specific concept of money in this world, in fact, he has no concept at all, because he doesn't need it at all! Money comes to stretch out his hand, food comes to open his mouth, the Son of Heaven is a combination of the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich!

Constantly walking back and forth, Liu Chan didn't have any ideas, so he could only ask Kong Ming: "Does Father Xiang have any ideas?" ”

"I don't know if Your Majesty can understand, at present, the Changping has been partially completed and began to reserve materials, including food, salt and iron and other necessities of life, the minister means whether we can open a warehouse to help the people, after all, we have thought about helping the people in the original intention of building these Changping!"

"Open a warehouse and release grain?"

Kong Ming nodded slightly: "Exactly!" Your Majesty, the market at this time is far from as good as we thought, if it goes on like this for a long time, the ministers are afraid that the people will be disappointed in the court and lose the hearts of the people! The reason why the first emperor was able to stand in danger was precisely because of the support of the people, and today's Shu also needs the support of the people. ”

"Free? Isn't the father afraid that someone will get in the way? The treasury is almost completely stocked, and if something goes wrong, we won't have anything to eat! ”

"Open a warehouse and sell grain at the market price! But we only accept copper coins! After all, if you want to restore the economy of Shuzhong, you must recover the hundred baht money, so that you can not only help the people, but also recover the five baht money, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone, and at this time, the main component of the copper money is the people, according to the Chen estimate, those people of the Shi clan are afraid that they have already replaced the copper money in their hands through various means! So don't be afraid that they will take advantage of the opportunity! ”
