"Listen to the people from the Military and Political Department," Zhang Chunniu said with a smile on his face: "In the first year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court allocated 390,000 taels of silver, minted 650,000 taels of money, sold out of copper coins to get more than 900,000 taels of silver, 1,000 wen coins are four catties and eight taels, and about 400,000 catties of copper are used, that is to say, 10,000 taels of silver are exchanged for 10,000 catties of copper.

Lu Dafu said: "The court this money is cast, I remember when I was a child, a thousand coins weighed eight catties and eight taels, which is half of the damn less, no wonder the people now like to use Jiajing gold to carry money, after Wanli, especially the copper coins minted in the two years of our Apocalypse, are small and inferior!" ”

Zhang Chunniu said: "Now the money in some places is even worse, and it costs fifty-five yuan as a penny of silver, and you calculate how much money one or two silver can be exchanged for." ”

The money law of the Ming Dynasty was indeed a mess, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to before and after Jiajing, because silver did not become legal tender, so the coinage was still mainly official casting, and the quality was passed, although the imperial court wanted to make money, and the face was still needed. After Wanli, the imperial court actually adopted the silver standard, and the trend of private casting began to prevail again, and the quality of folk copper coins was uneven, and the comparison between copper coins and silver became very chaotic.

The Apocalypse was good, but in the Chongzhen period, because of the lack of national use, the quality of the copper coins minted by the imperial court was also very poor, and those officials earned money and interest was still insufficient, and they had to make up their minds on the quality.

Lu Dafu looked contemplative at this time, thought for a while, and said: "The copper mine is very important, and it is estimated that we will be transferred here to be the guards of the copper mine." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhang Chunniu said: "The adults are already giving holidays to various departments in batches, you may be stationed here for a while, which can be regarded as a transition from the front line to the rear, and then go back to Lizhuang, and then be stationed for a while, and then you can take a holiday." ”

"I hope we can catch up with the holiday before last year." Lu Dafu said very expectantly: "My four brothers are now in the army, and my parents don't know how to miss them, so I can go back to one or two during the Chinese New Year, which can also make them happy." ”

Zhang Chunniu said happily: "I was ordered to Lingqiu a while ago to escort some mining materials, and I was given three days off, and I have already returned home. ”

Lu Dafu let out an envious sigh, at this time a military judge came over and coughed lightly, Zhang Chunniu immediately sat up straight, pretending to scrape the dinner plate with a spoon, Lu Dafu was also focused on eliminating his cans, and after the military judge left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Chunniu said with a smile: "Your little four is amazing, the adults personally summoned him in Jiangtai and awarded him a first-class medal, we have tens of thousands of people in the army, and he is the only one who gets the first class, and now he is already famous." ”

Lu Dafu was also relieved and said: "During the days when Xiaosi disappeared, I really didn't know how to explain to my parents!" Well, now he will always have a good future in the future, and he should be much better than my brother. ”

Zhang Chunniu said: "You are now also the deputy general manager of the soldiers and the captain of the flag, and the next step is the general manager of the bureau, I am transferred to the army, and I am half a level higher than you, where can I be reasonable." ”

Lu Dafu said with a sincere face: "Chunniu, your family is doing business, you have a good brain, and you are much better in the army or the military and political department than in the army ranks." ”

Zhang Chunniu glanced at Lu Dafu and said with a smile: "You are also much calmer than before, you were bent on climbing up at the beginning, and your utilitarian heart is too heavy." ”

"It still depends on the ability to speak." Lu Dafu said with a smile: "Our Li team officer is the fort guard officer of Jining Fort, and he performs well under the noses of adults, if he doesn't have the ability, he can't be this official, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can lead a division alone." ”

Li Shouxin was also one of the officers who performed well in this war, and he was indeed in the limelight.

At this time, Lu Dafu's team of soldiers finished eating, and everyone got up and went out to shabu the iron box, Lu Dafu was of course no exception, Zhang Chunniu was also with him, if they were in the Ming Army, as the general manager of the bureau, there must be a few Neiding who recognized their godfather and changed their surname, and then there was a team of pro-soldiers, not to mention that they had to wash their own shabu-shabu for dinner, even if it was to wash their feet, they were afraid that it was also made ready-made by Neiding's pro-soldiers, and they would definitely take care of it. And Yusheng's officers are like this, everyone is used to it, if it is in the barracks, even if it is the general of the department, he will do these things by himself, only Li Shenming and Wang Changfu and others have handy soldiers, this is only a privilege that only a very few people have.

"How's the can?" Zhang Chunniu saw that many people were still licking the canned juice at the bottom of the iron jar before washing, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Very good." Lu Dafu sighed: "I feel that the food and clothes we eat are too good, and some are too luxurious." ”

"My lord said," Zhang Chunniu said with a look of reverence: "The soldier throws his head and spills blood, should he eat poorly and wear poorly?" In the future, in the summer and autumn, fresh vegetables and fruits can be canned, and can also be made into canned fish and meat, so that the soldiers do not always have to eat wheat cakes, and the nutrition can be more comprehensive and balanced. Those cans are made of glass, and they can be recycled after shabu-shabu. ”

"Isn't it better to make iron?" Lu Dafu said casually: "It is easy to recycle and reuse, and the glass bottle is easy to wash, but it is easy to break." ”

Zhang Chunniu said: "I also inquired about this matter in the Military and Political Department...... The first batch of canned food was sent by our soldiers, but it was really broken, but there was no way, the iron box saved trouble, but now it can't be sealed, canned food is not sealed and can't be stored for a long time, if it's hot, it will be broken in a few days, so why bother? ”

"I see." Lu Dafu said with a smile: "In the future, you should go to the Military and Political Department, these things are suitable for you to do." ”

"It's really going on." Zhang Chunniu said without modesty: "I also feel that I am not suitable to continue to fight in the war team, the soldiers are either driving big cars or managing the cooking soldiers every day, or the boat bridge, but also the affairs of the camp, as well as guarding the fort, anyway, there is nothing I feel I want to do, or to the military and political department, which is more suitable for me to play my strengths." ”

Lu Dafu nodded, and he also felt the progress and change of his partner.

"There is something ......" Lu Dafu looked left and right, and no one followed them, after all, they were two middle-level officers, and no one would run over to eavesdrop when they were talking, and seeing that there was no one left and right, Lu Dafu said: "I heard that the whole army is going to divide the land?" ”

"There's that saying." This time, Zhang Chunniu's friends from the military and political department did not reveal too much, after all, it is now a matter of a higher level of secret, Zhang Chunniu said: "What is going on, how to divide it, no one knows yet." ”

"Ah, it's good to have this......" Lu Dafu thought of the happy appearance of his parents at home, and suddenly smiled.

The Lu family is very poor, almost no overnight food, the memory of a family's big snacks and full meals is few, from childhood to adulthood, Lu Dafu doesn't remember that he has eaten enough, nor does he remember what new clothes he wore, even if he barely made new clothes, it was Lu Da, the eldest brother, who wore them first, and then took his turn, and when the fourth child wore them, he had already put a thick layer of patches on the clothes.

The house at home leaks rain when it rains, Lu Dafu has just been able to walk since he was a child, and he began to look for odd jobs to do like something, and then he was a miner, and he went down to the mine at the age of sixteen to do things, which was very hard, and what the family wanted the most, the wish of the family when they chatted together, was to be able to save money desperately for the family, put 30 or 50 acres of land, and farm together with a few young and strong, if the year is good, you can eat your stomach well.

However, the natural disasters became heavier year by year, and the taxes, especially the local white list miscellaneous taxes, became higher and higher year by year, and many landed families, even the families of talented students, could not withstand the pressure, and began to sell land and land.

Although this land is on the grassland now, if you can get a large piece of land for nothing, I don't know how happy my parents will be when they know about it.

"Let's go to my room." Lu Dafu's identity was enough to live in a single dormitory, so he pulled Zhang Chunniu and said, "Let's talk about this matter carefully." ”

Zhang Chunniu was also itchy in his heart, but no one who believed in it didn't dare to talk about the gossip, and he hit it off with Lu Dafu at the moment, and the two of them sneakily went to Lu Dafu's room.

……

Li Shouxin got a three-day short-term vacation, not to ask him to go back to Lizhuang, three days is very short, at most it is just not far from Xinpingbao, these three-day vacation, Zhang Han specially approved it, because Li Shouxin's parents, together with the parents of many soldiers, rushed to Jiningbao in a passenger carriage with Yusheng.

Now Jining Fort has become a large barracks around it, because the war has been temporarily stopped, the military division only maintains about 2,000 troops in the area of Xiaohei River Fort, and the number of soldiers guarding the fort military platform has also been reduced by three or four percent, and the garrison soldiers and horses in the area of Xinghe Fort are less, only the cavalry basically maintains the full system, and the rest of the departments are successively transferred to Jining Fort, and then go directly back to Xinping Fort from Jining Fort or Daheihe Fort respectively, and then go to Lizhuang from there, stay in Lizhuang for a period of time after returning to the building, and then take turns to take a holiday, and then return to the garrison after the holiday.

Until the beginning of spring before the year and the year after the year, Jining Fort will be a relatively lively area, because Zhang Han has been stationed here, this ordinary military fort of one of the six military forts has become another Li Zhuang.

At the same time, because many soldiers, most of them are officers on duty in the near future, Zhang Han and the military and political departments discussed it, and decided to send a large number of carriages, from Lingqiu to Tianchengwei and Zhenyuwei, and then to Yanghewei, Xinpingbao area free pick-up and drop-off military families, each military family can come as many people as they want, the army is responsible for reception, each family can stay for three days and then return, of course, the military department also sent a carriage back.

There are indeed large-scale copper mines in Jining District, which is one of the largest copper mines in Inner Mongolia.

Again, cans first appeared in the eighteenth century, in glass bottles, and only later did iron cans appear.
