In history, the re-ascendance to the throne was actually not so smooth, and it took two years just to tear up the war with the temple family, and it took several years of life and upbringing to gradually recover its vitality. But with Bai Dong's intervention, it became too easy to wipe out the temple family, and in the face of the menacing 'United Nations Army', the temple was still as fragile as a three-year-old child, and had no ability to resist at all.

Bai Dong's heavy 'dowry' was sent over, as long as Doctor Guiwei and Lu Zhen knew what to do as long as they were not stupid, and soon the Juyushan vein was classified as a forbidden area for the Bai family, and the number of Bai family masters who came from various commercial and trade bases exceeded five hundred, plus the carefully selected soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, there were three thousand people responsible for the safety of this silver vein, except for the Mo family and the temporarily recruited craftsmen, the rest of the people had to get the consent of Bai Dong or Ou Yeliang to enter the forbidden area, otherwise even if it was Guiwei Doctor and Lu Zhen.

Now Bai Dong finally understands why a certain countryman will covet the northeast region of China after two thousand years, this kind of plundering of other countries' resources is really cool, but he does not have any sense of shame, after all, Yue is also a part of China, and he took away Yue Guo's mineral deposits for the development of China, not to enrich his own pockets, what is the blush?

Two or three years ago, the Bai family trading company was still very weak, and now it has become a giant with tentacles distributed to the military, commerce and other fields, less than a month after the discovery of silver mines in Juyu Mountain, the Bai family dug a huge mine hole, although the overall structure is not as rigorous as later generations, but it has also achieved the maximum safety under the supervision of Bai Dong. Some of the workers in charge of mining were Japanese monkeys brought from overseas and thrown directly into the mines, and the other part were Chinese people who volunteered to make a lot of money. treats his compatriot Bai Dong much gently. They will all be equipped with the necessary safety equipment. The job is mainly to supervise the Japanese monkeys.

There is strong support from the Bai family trading company and the Qin State and the Yue Kingdom. The smelting and silver smelting yard presided over by Ou Yeliang and Moxian was also established soon; Bai Dong is not an omniscient jack-of-all-trades, and after personally seeing the 'ash blowing method' used by Ou Yeliang, he learned that this method of refining silver had been used by master craftsmen as early as the Warring States period, and it may be backward compared to the 'ash blowing method' of later generations and modern times, but it is also in line with the characteristics of this era. The new silver he wants to promote now is not actually the 'snowflake silver' of the very high purity of later generations and the high-purity silver of modern times accurate to the percentage, most of them are gray and extremely low purity, but these are not a problem. In the future, when you want to mint silver coins, you will even have to add other chemical materials

Under the pouring of a large number of resources, the sentence and the silver mine only took less than two months to complete the leap from the initial construction to the efficiency of production, and now the Bai family's secret construction of the foundry has joined hands with the old Qin Si coin to start minting the first batch of silver coins, half a month ago Bai Dong received a coin sample of half a tael, the front is the misty starry sky, and the back is the head of Xuanyuan. The reason why such a currency was minted was because Bai Dong knew very well that the implementation of the 'silver standard' also followed the principle of unity of measurement, and there was no information related to Lao Qin on the silver coins, because the first thing these silver coins had was 'Huaxia' rather than Qin's stateization.

Before a large number of silver coins were put into the market, what Bai Dong had to do was to collect the silver of the people and the copper of the people, so after the Juyu silver mine officially entered the production stage. The Bai family's trading bases in various countries lowered the price of silver to an appalling price, from the original ten copper to one silver to nine copper to one silver. As soon as the news came out, the world suddenly went crazy, and the nobles who held the copper mines were frantically exchanging huàn silver, because as long as the Bai family's silver was exchanged for the silver that changed hands, there would be a profit; The people who control the silver mines are just as crazy, because they can't estimate how much silver Bai Dong has in his hands, and they are worried that the price of silver will be suppressed into slag, and the smartest thing to do is to sell their silver to Bai Dong at a high price, in the eyes of these silver mine owners, Bai Dong is a fool, on the one hand, he has continuously suppressed the price of silver through the trade bases in various places, and on the other hand, he buys the silver they produce at a high price, but in the face of huge interests and possible crises, who cares if Bai Dong is a fool or not? Anyway, this white man has money, and it seems that it doesn't matter if he throws a few more?

"According to Fujun's plan, the first step is to suppress the price of silver, forcing those countries and nobles who have silver mines to sell us silver, until their silver production is lower than the normal three-percent, now it seems that Fujun's plan is expected to be completed in half a year, Qi, Wei and Yue are our allies, Yan, Chu, Bashu, Lu, Song, Han and other countries have another six major silver mines, now Yan, Chu and Lu Song and other countries have obviously insufficient silver minerals, we just want to collect more, they can't supply only Bashu seems to be very calm, So far, it has only been a temptation, and he has refused to sell us a large amount of silver ore. ”

The bitter wine that had just arrived in Yue seemed to have lost some weight, leaning on the newly built ironclad ship, looking at the vast sea in the distance, her eyelashes would always blink subconsciously, and she would do this whenever she considered the problem of heavy dà, which had been an old problem for many years.

"Hehe, the silver of Bashu will add up to more in the Chu State, but the Ba people and Shu people are trapped in the heavy mountains, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but the more outstanding people are, the easier it is to be carried away by interests, they are waiting for the price of nine copper to huàn and one silver can't scare them, and we can't make them tempted by the 'direct collection price' of twelve copper to huàn and one silver, so they will be so calm."

Bai Dong poured a cup of 'Kung Fu Tea' for his beloved wife and handed it to her: "I vigorously promote new silver and recycle copper and iron coins, fools know that their ambitions are not small, and the Bashu people know that there are a number of silver mines in Huaxia and a large number of silver mines in their hands, so they naturally want to learn from Jiang Taigong to sit firmly on Diaoyutai." It doesn't matter, let's sit down, I'd like to see how long they can sit still? ”

"They sat very firmly according to the plan of the husband, the news that the silver mine had been discovered by the mountain and had been purchased by the Bai family had been released three days ago, and at the same time, the Bai family trading company began to lower the price of silver again yesterday, and now the trading bases in various places have been eight copper to one silver, but it is strange that those nobles who own copper mines have reduced their trading volume because of this, while those countries and nobles who have silver mines want to sell more silver to us, according to the letters we have received in various places, these silver are likely to be their deposits, and not newly produced. But Bashu still didn't move."

Kujiu frowned slightly, after all, she was not a top student in the finance department who graduated in later generations, and she was in a daze for the first time when she came into contact with financial trading, no matter how smart she was.

"There is nothing strange about this, seeing that the price of silver continues to decrease and the price of copper is rising day by day, those nobles who own copper mines will become more greedy, they want a better price As for those countries and nobles who have silver mines, it is strange that they are not in a hurry, now that the price of silver is so suppressed by me, the silver deposits in their hands are not sold to the Bai family, who else is willing to pay a higher price than the 'market' like the Bai family? In China, silver is rare and precious, and when it comes to practical use, it is far less than copper and iron, so those who have copper mines will not panic, and those who have silver mines will not panic, and those who have silver mines will really panic As for Bashu, the more they sit on the Diaoyutai today, the more they will not be able to catch fish in the future, and they may even be eaten by fierce big fish."

Glancing at the sea, Bai Dong gently opened his right hand: "Ten days later, the silver price will be pressed to seven copper, six copper will be pressed next month, and then the next month, I will be pressed to five copper!" I want to see how much patience Bashu still has? ”

"However, suppressing the price of silver in this way will also damage the vitality, if we want to continue to control the price of silver in the market, we must have enough silver, even if we add the output of the silver mine, it will be difficult to support it for too long, because even if we buy silver from Xu Gong and the Fan family, it must be at a price higher than the market."

"Kujiu, you stay in Huaxia to support me for half a year, no matter how difficult it is, you must hold down the price of silver for me. You can rest assured, the more the price of silver falls, those nobles and merchants who have a lot of copper and iron resources will become more and more greedy, but will not buy in large quantities, so that the price of silver in our direct silver mine will gradually decrease, and after three months, the first batch of silver coins and a half taels will be put on the market, these silver coins are of low purity, which can save a lot of silver, and the pressure on the Bai family will be greatly reduced. In half a year, I will be back" (to be continued......)
