Chapter 656: The Second Department of the East Palace

(Go to the book.) The East Palace is Lin Yuyan's current team above the Great Qin Dynasty, and it can be said that Lin Yuyan's ability to sit firmly as the prince was given by the monarch's father, Duke Qin, but in this East Palace, there is Lin Yuyan's confidence as the prince.

Nowadays, within the East Palace, to be precise, it is divided into two parts: the Commercial Department and the Industrial Department, of which the Commercial Department is organized by the string height, and the Industrial Department is under the jurisdiction of the foil tin that started from the micro end with Lin Yuyan.

With the start of the Battle of Hexi, the successive rumors have already created a gap between Wei and Great Qin, and the trade with Wei has begun to take shape.

There is where Badi is, Badi is mountainous and watery, among which rare beasts, rare birds are not a few, what makes Xiangao and even the entire Qin State more concerned is that the rich natural resources of the entire Bashu land and the people living on it!

Xiangao originally focused all his energy on the transaction with Wei, but found that the wealth that Daqin had obtained from Badi had gradually equaled the transaction with Wei, which attracted Xiangao's attention, and this was the sensitive sense of smell Xiangao who noticed the cornucopia in the southwest of Daqin-the land of Bashu.

Nowadays, around Wancheng, although Wancheng Warehouse has been renovated several times and expanded several times, the status of the largest treasury around Wancheng has been taken away by the treasury of the Commercial Office under the rule of Donggong.

Xiangao heard that Gongzi Yan had returned to Wancheng, and he was also rushing to Wancheng at the moment, and now the situation in Wancheng, Xiangao had already received the news from Gongsun Hui, Xiangao was nominally into Daqin, but as far as the Shiqing of the entire East Palace was concerned, it was just to defect to Gongzi Yan, if this Gongzi Yan could not inherit the unification, I am afraid that he and others in Daqin have worked hard for all these years to make wedding dresses for others!

Xian Gao introduced Lin Yuyan into the treasury of the Commercial Bureau, which was recruited by the Commercial Administration from the southern armies, among which there was no shortage of strong bows and crossbows outside the treasury of the Commercial Bureau.

"Your Highness, what is accumulated here now is only thirty percent of the wealth controlled by the Commercial Bureau, all of which are extremely expensive and cherished treasures, and as for some bulk goods, such as copper, iron and grain, they are all placed in the important counties under the rule of Great Qin."

Business and trade have always been profitable, especially for Daqin, which is in Lingnan, and the Central Plains since ancient times geographically isolated naturally has a congenital disadvantage, but it is also undeniable that the advantages are undeniable, the land of Bashu, the land of Jingchu is to lead from Wancheng to the Central Plains, according to Lin Yuyan's thoughts, if the Great Qin Commercial Department can play the role of [middleman], how can the wealth that can be obtained be a few!

You must know that the sea salt of Qi is only equivalent to corn in the territory of Qi State, and it may even be cheaper, but if it is transported to the land of Sanjin and Great Qin, it is often a hundred times the price of corn, and only a small number of powerful people can afford to eat this sea salt.

Among them, it is naturally done by profit-seeking merchants, but you must know that the cheap sea salt of Qi is sold to the land of Sanjin, not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed, just experiencing the tariffs of the princes and countries along the way is a huge amount, and it is also facing the consequences of being robbed by mountain bandits at any time, how can it not be expensive.

In addition to displaying many precious treasures, the treasury of the Commercial Office will also pile up some consumables in the treasury, such as the salt that is mainly operated by Cong Xingao from Badi.

It has to be said that because of the mountains and waters, the taste of the salt produced in Badi is only better than that of the sea salt of the Qi country, since the well salt of the Badi was sold to the territory of Daqin, whether it is the sea salt of the Qi country or the dry salt of Longdong, its price has plummeted.

Today, the price of salt in Daqin is twice that of corn, and even the best salt is only five times that of corn.

And Wancheng is now surrounded by 100,000 people, and the daily consumption of grain, grass and salt is not a few, it seems that this [salt mountain] placed in front of Lin Yuyan now may be scattered into the ordinary people around Wancheng in a few days.

Then Xiangao led Lin Yuyan through the salt vault and went straight to the vault, and it was just now that he got the news that Foil Xi came to the treasury and was waiting for the summons of His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Foil Tin may be nominally just a minister, but the authority of this Foil Tin in the East Palace is definitely within the top five, otherwise according to the temperament of the Foil Clan to follow the patriarchal system, it is absolutely impossible to pass on the position of the head of the family to a son like Foil Tin as a concubine.

Seeing Lin Yuyan's arrival, after saluting, he was called up and entered the core of the treasury of the department, that is, where the vault was located.

This is also the first time that Foil Tin has entered the vault under the rule of the East Palace, and he has long heard that there are 100,000 gold accumulated in the East Palace, but now he has entered the vault and found that the gold nuggets hoarded here are more than 100,000 gold, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gold mountain!

One long piece of gold after another was built into a wall and stacked on top of each other, and it was not spectacular!

The string height who led the way in front also said to Lin Yuyan and Foil Xi behind him: "According to His Highness's instructions, Daqin only chooses two kinds of bulk goods for trading, one is corn and salt, and the other is the coins that are common to Daqin. ”

"As for all the gold exchanged for Great Qin, it was smelted and moved to the vault of the Commercial Office here!" Speaking of this, Xiangao said proudly: "Now in terms of accumulation on top of the currency, the palace treasury must not be as much as the commercial office, and it is very likely that it is only a small fraction of the treasury of the commercial office......

Hearing this, the foil tin party who followed closely on the side said: "Every time, the Commercial Department is asked to take out a large amount of money and grain to the Industrial Department, and today I see this treasury to know that it is just a drop in the bucket for the Commercial Department!" ”

Xiangao replied at the moment: "The foil department is wrong, a drink and a peck are not easy to come by, and besides, the money and food allocated to the Department of Industry is by no means a drop in the bucket, and it accounts for more than 50% of the annual income of the Department of Commerce!" ”

This is not the rhetoric that the Department of Industry is now controlling, the foundry and the attached cleaning of rivers to build waterways, and the construction of water conservancy are all pressed on the body of the Department of Industry, these are all big moves to burn money and grain, although the Department of Commerce and the Department of Industry are both in the ranks of the East Palace, but after all, it is a money-making and a money-making, and the foil tin is naturally a head shorter in front of the string height.

Speaking of which, Foil Tin also replied to Lin Yuyan: "Since the beginning of the previous year, the Department of Works has allocated people to assist Master Fang Chi in controlling the water, so that it can connect the Han River and the Great River, and now it is all connected, and there are not a few business travel tariffs on this waterway every year!" ”

Xiangao nodded: "But most of them are used as the treasury of Great Qin, and less than one or two percent of them can enter the treasury of the East Palace." ”

In the face of these gold, because the outside precautions are very strict, Foil Tin and Xian Gao have informed Lin Yuyan of the operation during this time, and it seems that the Industrial Department has organized and built tens of thousands of sets of the most advanced agricultural tools, including the relatively expensive agricultural tools such as stone spine and stone mill, which are explained to Lin Yuyan in detail.

Nowadays, the grassroots level of the counties and counties in Daqin, the official offices such as the county government that have nothing to do with the government and issue government orders, but what is really closely related to the people's livelihood is the first war one after another.

A part of the tax was also paid to the inn for collection.

Half an hour later, the only two major institutions in the East Palace, the Commercial Department and the Industrial Department, all informed Lin Yuyan of the latest news, and after grasping the general situation, Lin Yuyan had already walked out of the back door of the Treasury of the Commercial Bureau.

That string Gao also arched his hand and reminded Lin Yuyan: "His Royal Highness is no longer in Daqin, and the matter discussed by the court this time must be extremely important......

Although Xiangao did not say it explicitly, in the final analysis, the fourth prince Cheng who returned from the Wei State was already regarded as an enemy by the Shiqing of the East Palace.

Lin Yuyan shook his head, and finally said: "This matter can be discussed later, there is no need to be like this for the time being!" ”

Hearing this, Xian Gao and Fang Xi both nodded and responded to this matter, if even Gongzi Yan decided to suppress this matter, the Shiqing of the East Palace would not have any thoughts about the fourth Gongzi Cheng.

Then Lin Yuyan asked for some things before he let Xian Gao and Foil Xi retreat, and then Lin Yuyan asked Jing Yi to drive the carriage to the mansion of the fifth brother's son.

At this time, when the situation in Wancheng became confusing because of the sudden return of the fourth brother, the fifth brother did not shy away from contacting him, which was really not like the fifth brother who had endured in the dark for more than ten years......
