Chapter 411

"When the time comes, will the silver ticket be issued? Or are they made of gold and silver coins? ”

Silver tickets are different from money tickets and flying tickets used now. Silver stamps are actually a kind of common money, and like gold and silver, they are commonly used up and down, and they are basically modern paper money. But the money ticket that the bank is using now is not, it is just a debit method, a debit method for private use. Of course, the current kind of bearer, money ticket with ticket is basically the same as a silver ticket.

If it is invaded by foreign enemies, it will be dealt with head-on, if there is a famine, local relief is, if there are displaced people to make trouble, it is to ask for appeasement and use it. On the surface, it seems easy to say, but which of these doesn't cost money......

The Xiaoguo armies in all parts of Youzhou began to open up wasteland in various places, and all of them turned to cultivation and restoration. The Xiaoguo Army also carried out a reward, giving due honor to those who have made meritorious contributions.

Maybe it's because of Zhao Xun's threat, maybe it's because the Xiaoguo Army is no longer in the menacing posture of the past, or maybe it's Zhao Xun's intention to enter the court, the surrounding state capitals stopped the blockade of the Xiaoguo Army, and businessmen and displaced people also began to pass normally.

Zhao Xun's incident in Liao Tunnel City also spread all over the world, and for a while, it was recited for the people of the world, and he suddenly became a hero who expelled the barbarians. can make the barbarians of all departments submit, Zhao Xun really shocked the people of the world.

Zhao Xun stepped up the reserve of gunpowder, although gunpowder could not determine the outcome of a long war, but it could reverse the outcome of a battle at a certain time.

"Daddy...... Hug ...... "After the two sons and Zhao Xun dealt with it for a few days, they were no strangers to the man in front of them.

Zhao Xun stretched out his hand to pick up the two sons, kissed them on the two little faces, and laughed: "My baby son...... Did you make trouble, did you listen to your mother's words? ”

"Listen...... Obedient! The two little guys pulled Zhao Xun's face and said with a pout.

"Husband, how old are they, how can they understand what you are saying!"

"That's right, I've forgotten the age of these two little guys!"

"See what a governor!"

"Let's all be exempt!" As soon as he entered the back garden, a group of maids greeted him.

"Husband, do you remember the two of them?" Xu Qinlian pointed to the two maids on the side and said.

Zhao Xun turned his head to look, this time he thought that these two people turned out to be the "county lords" he wanted from Liaodong Kingdom.

"Well, why are they in the house?" Zhao Xun remembered that he said that he would let them move freely.

"Husband, when they are negotiating peace, how can you let them show their heads outside at will. Since you have entered my Zhao family, you have to follow the rules of the Zhao family. ”

"Still married? said that he married them, forget it...... Whatever you want. By the way, you asked me to come today, do you have anything to say? Zhao Xun took the teacup handed by Li Ruolan and said with a smile.

"Husband, are you going to enter Luoyang at the end of the year?" Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan both looked at Zhao Xun worriedly.

Zhao Xun smiled: "Yes, there is nothing to worry about, I will be fully prepared." The real enemies of the imperial court were the Turks in the north and the Xuzhou army in the east. As for me, they will only co-opt and will not have other ideas. ”

"Why do you want to go, we are in Youzhou, who in the world can help us, Luoyang, it's too dangerous!" Li Ruolan also said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time. Even if the court wants to do it, I can be safe. Speaking of which, it's time to go to Luoyang to see and see. Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Now that my husband has made up his mind, I will no longer dissuade him. It's just that before that, some things have been solved first. Xu Qinlian said slowly.

Zhao Xun was stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Qin said slowly: "Aren't you going to solve the matter of Su Ran, Li Xinyan and Su Ziyan's three younger sisters?" ”

"What does this have to do with them? I went to Luoyang, and I didn't do anything......"

"They're almost twenty years old, and they're long overdue to get married here...... It's rare for you to have time now, so give them an explanation, you can't let them in and out of the house, but they don't have an official identity. ”

Zhao Xun smiled dumbly and said, "Since you have said so, this matter will be done according to what you say, and you will be responsible." ”

For the three of them, Su Ziyan and herself are husband and wife, and although the other two have no substantive relationship, Zhao Xun also has a good impression of each other. He didn't leave the meat in his mouth to someone else's hobby......

Because to enter the court at the end of the year or after the year, Zhao Xun needs to do a lot of things, in addition to restoring the development of the place, he also has to carry out a series of dark tones. He successively negotiated with the army, officials, and many people in the secret, and secretly arranged some means to guard against outsiders, and even more so against internal problems.

After some deliberation, Zhao Xun decided to reorganize the internal superstructure. There are three highest departments in the Xiaoguo Army Center, namely the Government Council, the Privy Council, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The three courts stand side by side and do not belong to each other.

The Privy Council is responsible for the regular mobilization of the Xiaoguo Army's war strategy and deployment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the supervisory department, supervising the officials and local officials of the other two courts, and has the right to directly write and perform secrets.

In addition, the Council of Ministers oversees the promotion and verification of military officers, while the Privy Council is responsible for the nomination of military officers for promotion. Between the two houses, there are mutual restrictions.

At the beginning of October, the northern tribes handed over the cattle, sheep, and war horses that should be compensated to the Xiaoguo army, and the land that should be ceded to the Xiaoguo army was also ceded to the Xiaoguo army early. The north, in an eerie peace.

In addition to depositing and withdrawing and exchanging huàn coins in other places, Huitong Bank has also opened additional loan business. Of course, this loan requires proof of local status for many years, or a person with local status, in addition, it also needs to be secured by fixed assets slightly higher than the loan amount.

In order to prevent someone from selling the mortgaged assets to others, when the bank takes out a loan, the mortgaged fixed assets need to be reported to the local government for filing. You must know that all fixed assets transactions need to go to the government to purchase documents, which is equivalent to signing a legal document. With the money bank for the record, these people will not be able to take advantage of the loopholes.

Besides, everyone knows that this money village is run by Xiaoguo military officers, and most of the governors have mixed in shares, who dares to come nonsense, it is not looking for death.

Some people or alone, or partnerships, loan dealers, under the guidance of the Department of Commerce, silk reeling, silk weaving, salt boiling, iron smelting, weapons, gold and silverware, lacquerware and other large and small businesses appeared in turn, north to Zhuhu, south to the Central Plains.

Perhaps because of the pacification in the north, all of a sudden merchants from various state capitals came and went to do business with Youzhou, and even some big merchants in distant places also appeared in Youzhou. Zhao Xun heard that his subordinates had reported that businesses in Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places also appeared in Youzhou City. For these firms, Zhao Xun does not dispose of them alone, as long as the other party is the most business, Zhao Xun will not add anything extraordinary. But it must be in accordance with the rules of the Xiaoguo Army, and the credibility rating system must also be in accordance with the rules of the Xiaoguo Army.

Because these merchants are all over the world, the situation in the land of Youzhou has spread all over the world. Light forced labor and taxation, not being exploited by officials, and not being afraid of foreign invasion, it can be said that the people live the most comfortable and stable place. As a result, there was a frenzy of displacement. For these, the local government let it go, and the government on the way cursed in their hearts, but still let the displaced people cross the border. Because he was worried that these homeless people would starve to death on the way or cause accidents, Zhao Xun asked the Department of Commerce to issue an order for businessmen to assist the homeless people to enter the land of Youzhou, which can also be regarded as an assessment point for improving the reputation level.

Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of people in Youzhou, five or six million, plus the land of northern Hebei, there are as many as seven or eight million, but the three eastern prefectures and the newly included ones are still vast and sparsely populated. If the Xiaoguo army wants to truly stabilize the stability of the place, it should make the proportion of the Han people reach a point where the people of the Yan people cannot be shaken, so that they can be overwhelmed by the crowd......

Zhao Xun also strongly supports the design, development and improvement of those who are good at oddity/obscenity. In fact, these strange and obscene tricks that are not taken seriously are actually doing the same thing as the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court. What is different is that the Ministry of Engineering does things, just what is arranged from above, and what is done below, and generally does not deliberately improve and invent anything.

Speaking of which, the invention of gunpowder is actually a kind of odd/obscene trickery. But it is these strange and obscene tricks that are enough to change the society into the city.

Zhao Xun commended these people for their achievements, and even gave them official positions. If a businessman supports the research and development, the businessman is also given an honorary official position, which is equivalent to a local official. The reason why those big businessmen are funded is also to get more people involved. The people supported by the Xiaoguo Army are, after all, a minority.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few successful examples.

Trebuchet, originally a heavy trebuchet, as long as it is used for city attack and defense. But because he wanted to throw a thunderbolt, Zhao Xun asked the craftsman to make a battalion to restructure the trebuchet. After some tossing, some of the craftsmen in the camp really made a small trebuchet that could be temporarily disassembled. These trebuchets can be built in the field, throwing earth-shattering thunderbolts to bombard enemy formations.

The earth-shattering thunder, after a toss by the craftsman's battalion, became a poison gas bomb. In the midst of the earth-shattering thunder, they placed croton, wolf smoke, arsenic, lime and other strange things, and after the explosion, they would produce poisonous smoke and kill them.

Subsequently, these people became interested, and there were more and more tricks, specializing in smoke bombs that produced black smoke, and incendiary bombs that burned strongly. Although many of them do not have a strong practical application, the enthusiasm of these people for scientific research cannot be offset.

Subsequently, Zhao Xun gave these people the position of captain of the same school, that is, the position of equivalent to the captain, and took the captain's salary and enjoyed the treatment of the captain. Of course, rewards are also indispensable. In this way, he has aroused the research and development of some people. Most of these are craftsmen, and maybe with their own improvements, they will be able to get ahead......

The waterwheel first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after the improvement of the previous dynasty, it gradually became widely used.

Because of the large-scale cultivation of land in Youzhou, there are naturally many places where water conservancy is insufficient, so waterwheels are widely used. In addition to improving the water rotation and overturning in higher places to divert water sources to higher ground, the array of water wheels will be used with each other to achieve maximum utilization efficiency. It has greatly reduced the constraints on the topography of cultivated land and enabled the development of hilly and hillside lands. It is not only used to draw water during dry times, but also to drain water when water accumulates in low places.

The Xiaoguo Army's merchants, especially Zhao Xun's own Baiyu Merchants, undertook to resell the impurity weapons and leather armor captured by the Xiaoguo Army to the Xuzhou Army in exchange for grain, warships, and silver. However, there is no unification of alliances, solidarity, etc.

In mid-October, Zhao Xun got married again, accepted a three-room concubine room, and all the people in Youzhou celebrated, and the Sumo Jin Ya Department in the north, the Liaodong Kingdom, the Beihai Tribes, and the Khitan people all sent people to send congratulatory gifts, so that the representatives of the surrounding states were secretly shocked by Zhao Xun's prestige in the northeast.

Newlywed Yan'er, men and women love, among which the fun, naturally not for outsiders. Zhao Xun no longer worries about the affairs of the Xiaoguo Army, in addition to accompanying his wife and children, he secretly set up a secret hand to prepare for the action at the end of the year.

Li Muzhi took the Black Armor Battalion to the Beihai Tribes, and merged with the Eight Banners of the Yao Dynasty to establish the Beihai Protectorate, of course, these are all secret names. Vertical and horizontal, and the Beihai tribes and the Beihai King or war or peace, in short, the Beihai tribes instead of Zhao Xun raised tens of thousands of soldiers. According to Zhao Xun's instructions, while fighting the king of Beihai, he also beat those disobedient tribes of the Beihai tribes, and at the same time preached the good of the Xiaoguo army and the good of Youzhou, encouraged some small tribes to live in Youzhou, and encouraged the warriors of the Beihai tribes to participate in the Eight Banners of the Yao. Because of the agreement, the Beihai tribes must not prevent the warriors of the tribes from joining the Eight Banners of the Spirit. Of course. The Eight Banners will not expand wantonly, and 40,000 people is the limit.
