Listening to Luan Yi's opening of canals and digging rivers on the first line of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jinan in a short period of time, Lu Bu, who is the history of Qingzhou, raised doubts, he glanced at the schematic map of the coverage of the river basin of the project, and said: To implement such a large project, the Qingzhou generation alone needs to recruit at least 100,000 people, which is easy to cause public resentment. Nowadays, there are strong enemies on the outside, and if there is chaos on the inside, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to the church.

Luan Yi smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Brother Fengxian, rest assured, the people will not only not be resentful, but will be grateful to Dade and rush to work." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Lu Bu didn't know why.

Luan Yi talked eloquently and told Lu Bu that in the past, when the Han Dynasty started large-scale projects, the people recruited were all performing forced labor, and in popular terms, they were voluntary labor, and the imperial court only cared about them a full meal every day, and did not pay them any substantial remuneration. The conscription of the church is completely different from the conscription of the imperial court, and the conscripted people will pay a certain salary to the conscripted people every day in addition to taking care of the meals.

As for the amount of salary, it is usually graded according to the standard of workers of the Luanjia Chamber of Commerce. As a simple example, the bricklayer in the Luanjia Chamber of Commerce is a level 4 craftsman, and the average daily income is about 10 yuan, so the people who are recruited to participate in water conservancy projects and know the masonry technology will also be counted as level 4 craftsmen, and they can also receive ☆☆ 10 yuan per day.

10 yuan a day, 5 days of earned salaries can buy a stone of 30 catties of grain, which is placed in any state and county in the Han Dynasty, can be regarded as a not low income, will naturally attract the world to flock to it, not only Qingzhou, Yanzhou people are vying to do, neighboring Jizhou, Xuzhou is estimated to have people to hear the news. This also further expands the capacity of human resources to a certain extent.

In addition, in recent years, Zheng's Quyuan plough and ploughing cattle have generally penetrated into the grassroots, which has greatly improved the farming efficiency of the people, greatly shortened the farming time and the manpower required. The reduction of farming time means that the leisure time of farming has increased greatly; Less manpower consumption meant that much of the heavy physical work could be done by women and the elderly, freeing large numbers of young and strong people from the land to choose to enlist in the army or as civil servants.

Whether you enlist in the army or work in the army, you can not only make more money to supplement your family, but also increase your good karma for the church and lay the foundation for your ascension to heaven in the future. So good, why not?

After listening to Luan Yi's explanation, Lu Bu nodded again and again. In this way, as Luan Yi said, instead of resentment, the people will not be resentful, but will rush to labor. However, then again, if the two-year project of tens of thousands of people is to pay the salaries of the people on a daily basis, what a lot of money! As far as Qingzhou's current financial resources are concerned, it simply cannot afford it. Lu Bu then threw this question to Luan Yi.

The corners of Luan Yi's mouth rose and said, "I have already negotiated the money." Brother Feng Xian can rest assured. The local government only needs to pay 10% of this amount, the Luanjia Chamber of Commerce is responsible for paying 20%, the local wealthy businessmen are strongly assisted by 20%, and the rest is borne by the church. The assets will be sent to the Assassin's Mansion on schedule. ”

Lu Bu was shocked, according to this situation, the entire Qingzhou section of the project had to use millions of taels of gold! The church actually paid half of the burden, and obediently ......, "The church is so rich?" ”

Luan Yi smiled and shook his head, "Not now, but soon." I'm about to talk about it now, but I'll know if I listen carefully. He glanced around at everyone present and said, "Everyone, please open the industrial part of the plan......

In the next five years, the church factory will still be inclined to the military industry, and all other industries will make way for the military industry, and the superior resources will be concentrated in the Yanzhou Ordnance Manufacturing Institute, so that the Ordnance Manufacturing Institute must catch up with the pace of military expansion.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. In order to realize the ideal of building a victorious army, the Yanzhou Ordnance Manufacturing Institute must spare energy to develop new types of ordnance.

At present, Pu Yuan is developing a hundred refining strong knives. This knife can split a bamboo tube filled with iron beads, and it is very sharp. At present, the research has entered the stage of small-scale trial testing, and it is expected that it will be completely completed by the end of the year, and mass production will begin and be distributed to all armies in batches.

In addition, Liu Ye, the deputy craftsman of Yanzhou Ordnance Manufacturing Institute, is developing new siege equipment. Since Liu Ye had just joined the church, the research and development was still in the design stage, and it would take at least more than a year for it to be fully formed.

The Luokou factory in Jinan is still focusing on glass production, and at the same time, it intends to develop equipment that will help improve production and farming efficiency. The new textile machine is expected to triple the efficiency of the old weaving, which will greatly increase the output of cloth and brocade in Jinan and Qingzhou, and increase profits.

Business Sector.

Since the beginning of winter last year, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei have unanimously forbidden merchants from their jurisdiction to trade in the diocese (i.e., Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jinan), and at the same time, they have also set up many checkpoints to prevent merchants from entering their rule for economic and trade, and have even set up trade barriers.

At the beginning, when he first heard the news, Luan Yi couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he had chosen the right base. Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Jinan together are larger than Shandong Province in later generations, and as the largest taxpayer in China in the 21st century, Shandong can be described as a treasure land rich in resources.

The area of Jinan and Taishan County in the western part of Shandong is located in the hills of Mount Tai, with endless mountains and rivers, rich in mountain treasures, iron ore and quartz ore...... There are many kinds of ores. Within the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, the Zhaoyuan area in later generations also has the largest gold reserves in China. This provided sufficient raw materials for the church factories to avoid being cut off from raw materials after trade barriers.

In addition, the coastal line of Qingzhou is currently the largest salt field in Dahan, which lays the foundation for the supply of another important resource - salt. Having salt in hand is equivalent to ensuring the vegetable basket of the people in this era, and the people can live and work healthily and contentmently when they have salt to eat. On the contrary, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei stuck the door, which is equivalent to blocking the largest salt road, and the soaring price of salt has become an inevitable trend.

In addition to salt, the massive coal mines contained in Yanzhou and the underground oil field of Qingzhou Dongqi Seashore - Daqing Oilfield are also important guarantees for Luanyi's future development. It is true that the utilization rate of these two resources is pitifully low, and oil is not even exploited. But just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't use it in the future, as long as you keep it in your hand, it will come in handy one day.

In addition to the above, as a plain area located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the land of Qingyan Erzhou is not fertile, and the temperate monsoon climate makes most of the crops cultivated on this loess land. In addition to daily cereals, there are also cotton and other production crops and medicines, which not only ensure daily food, but also ensure the source of clothing and medicine.

It can be said that among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, if you talk about who is the most suitable for self-sufficiency and self-reliance, there is no doubt that the Qingyanji region is one of them.

Don't talk about it, get back to business.

In other words, after Luan Yi mentioned that the diocese was plagued by trade barriers, he also bluntly admitted that it had caused a lot of losses to the church. However, this issue has now been resolved. He broke through trade barriers by secretly promising high returns to the three border guards, and sent smuggled goods to Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Xuchang in the following time.

In this way, the loss of the church can be recovered to a certain extent, although the benefits obtained are less than in the past, but the three families of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei have also lost the high taxes and silver earned after trading with the diocese in vain. In contrast, Yuan Cao Liu lost even more.

In order to make up for the loss of trade, in the following time, Luan Yi decided to think outside his mind and carry out a more enlightened trade policy, shifting the focus of trade from overseas trade to domestic trade, which not only reduced trade with areas not controlled by the Church of Mary, but also increased intraparish trade. In short, it is actually export to domestic sales. In order to ensure that domestic profits are not reduced, Luan Yi advocates expanding rigid domestic demand, gradually promoting industrial transformation, and vigorously promoting the construction of the service industry.

To this end, Luan Yi has moved the financial services industry out of the country in order to achieve the ambitious goal as soon as possible.

He told you that starting this year, all churches above the county level will be open to all believers in their personal savings and credit business.

Savings means that if believers feel that their money is not safe in their homes, that it is easy to be stolen or destroyed by fire, they can store their money in the church of the county.

After the money is placed in the church treasury, the church will ensure the safety of the money for the savers, and even if the money is stolen or damaged by fire in the church, the church will pay the same amount.

When the clergy in the church received the deposit, they would issue the depositor with a slip called a voucher as proof. In the future, if you are in a hurry to trade money, you can go to any church in the diocese and present the voucher and exchange the value recorded on the voucher for the same amount of money.

At the same time, Luan Yi also reached an agreement with 82 merchants in the three places at the Jinan, Qingzhou and Yanzhou Business Summit led by the Luanjia Chamber of Commerce at the end of last year - after the advent of the holy coupon, it can be used as hard currency such as gold, silver and copper of the same face value in any of the industries of these 82 merchants and directly used for consumption. In the future, Luan Yi will continue to persuade other merchants to strive for the use of holy coupons in their industries.

In this way, the voucher has the function of paper money in its original form, and the church has the function of a bank.

As we all know, the emergence of paper money has played an unprecedented role in promoting the development of a country and a place.

In the past commercial activities, the Han Kingdom did not have much gold and silver reserves, so it mainly used copper coins as the main body of transactions among the people, and copper coins, as a cheap local currency, brought inconvenience to trade to a large extent.

For example, the current market price of one acre of land is 60 yuan, which is equivalent to 60,000 yuan.

60,000 five-baht coins, not to mention the weight, you have to pack a big bag.

The most ordinary land transactions are still so inconvenient, not to mention the large-scale trade, and the assets used to buy and sell casually have to be pulled by cars. And in the process of intercity transportation, because the target is too big, it is easy to be targeted by bandits and bandits, and end up losing money and losing your life. Examples like this abound.

The appearance of the holy certificate can completely solve this problem, whether it is 60 guan or 60 million guan, what is stored in the church in exchange for a piece of paper is just a piece of paper, which is full of big men in his arms, and he does not take it out to show off, no one knows, and it has the same function as the real copper coin in the diocese, which is convenient and safe.

With the help of it, it is possible to improve the efficiency, frequency and volume of large trade.
