The silver coin of Dashun is an extremely well-made silver coin, which was made by the order of the money supervisor of the Dashun Imperial Court, and was ordered by Lu Chengqi, the son of the Emperor of Dashun, to order the household department to issue it to civil and military officials as the regular currency of the forbidden army, the border army and the box army.

This silver coin, an alloy made of silver, cupronickel and tin, weighs about five cents and six cents. The obverse consists of the design of the Dashun dragon flag, as well as the four regular script characters of "Dashun silver coin"; On the back is the Xuande Gate pattern of the imperial palace in Chang'an City, as well as the words "Dashun Hongxiang two-year system". On the edge of the silver coin, there are also anti-wear protrusions, which are very tactile to the touch. It's not easy to fake.

Da Shun launched such silver and gold coins, which were immediately wildly sought after by neighboring countries. However, such silver coins and gold coins are strictly controlled by Dashun, and the issuance is not large, and the outflow is too small. Rare things are expensive, and naturally they become rare.

Lu Chengqi knows all these things. With the growth of the Supervision Department, many undercover agents have entered other countries and obtained a lot of first-hand information. After listening to Zhou Zhiruo's words, Lu Chengqi could understand what was going on for the first time, and said with relief and pity: "It's all Zitong's credit, let's say, what do you want me to reward for my good queen?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo said faintly: "Where do the concubines dare to ask for rewards, Your Majesty said that the cotton mill can make money, but in the hands of the concubine, the cotton mill has been losing money......"

Lu Chengqi was stunned, he didn't expect this. But after thinking about it, Lu Chengqi also understood. Lu Chengqi knows the benefits of cotton, but the people in the world don't know it! Even if it is on the "Dashun Minbao", before the output comes up, it is in vain. In these years, the common people were accustomed to silk and linen, and cotton clothes had not yet been popularized, and only the people of Guangnan West Road and Yunnan and Guizhou knew that this kind of thing could be used to make clothes. In this way, limited by production and sales, it is reasonable to lose money.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi laughed and said, "Why should Zitong be bothered, it's just a loss of some money." Do business. That's it, there are gains and losses. If you make a steady profit and don't lose money, how can it be considered a business! ”

"Your Majesty has not read the account book, so naturally I don't know how much I have lost. It's just about buying land. He spent millions of dollars. Although the fields in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are cheap and not very fertile. But as long as the quantity is large, money and silver must be indispensable. In addition, the women who hire farmers and weave cotton have to pay more than 10,000 yuan per month. Add to that the construction of factories and so on, and count it down. The loss in a year is not less than two million......"

Zhou Zhiruo's resentment is not unreasonable, Huangzhuang seems to make a lot of money, but it can spend even more. In the past, all the funds of the Supervision Department were paid from Huangzhuang, and the Ordnance Supervision also had to subsidize some. Now that the Supervision Department has its own way, the funds required are not too much, and the investment of the Ordnance Supervision Department is large. Originally, Huangzhuang raised tens of thousands of people, and there were more than ten welfare homes, and now with the loss of cotton mills, it seems that they are a little unable to make ends meet.

Lu Chengqi stroked Zhou Zhiruo's hair. comforted: "Even if it is a loss, so what? It's not the ability to make money, it's the ability to spend money! I'm so good at spending money, Zitong should be very admired by me. ”

When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, she was angry and funny: "Your Majesty! ”

"Alright, alright, I know I'm wrong. Who taught you these Nine Yin White Bone Claws, could it be Mei Chaofeng? After Zhou Zhiruo used a woman's nirvana technique and pinched people, Lu Chengqi had to surrender. Women seem to be born with this trick. It's painful to pinch people. Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo is still virtuous, taking into account Lu Chengqi's face, she didn't work very hard. Lu Chengqi's expression was also in place, and Zhou Zhiruo was also overjoyed when she saw this.

The two quarreled for a while. Lu Chengqicai said: "Zitong, in fact, losing money is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Zhou Zhiruo didn't know why, blinked her bright eyes, and asked silently. Lu Chengqi is the emperor, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different: "You think, Huangzhuang is now supporting tens of thousands of people. Among these tens of thousands of people. At least tens of thousands of households, right? ”

Zhou Zhiruo nodded, and seemed to understand what Lu Chengqi was referring to. "Huangzhuang feeds tens of thousands of families, which is a matter of immeasurable merit. The living expenses of these tens of thousands of families will feed many people. Like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, which household does not use them? If consumption is driven, more people can have a job, which is a great merit! ”

Zhou Zhiruo had never thought about this question, and Lu Chengqi's words undoubtedly shocked her greatly. "In the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, I have decided to change it into a cotton planting and horse farm, so that the fields will no longer produce food. In the Jiangnan area, fertile land is cultivated and silkworm cultivation is held full-time. At that time, there will be exchanges between the north and the south, those who drive cars, those who load and unload, those who run boats, those who sell grain, those who sell cotton, and those who sell horses...... These people have a livelihood to live thanks to the blessings of Huangzhuang. In this way, Huangzhuang shoulders the work of hundreds of thousands of people, or even more than a million people. Zitong took care of the Huangzhuang like this, helped me stabilize the hearts of the people, and the stability of Dashun Sheji, Zitong is the first hero! ”

Zhou Zhiruo listened, and felt that she was so powerful for the first time. But she still has doubts: "But if Huangzhuang doesn't make money, then tens of thousands of people can't support it?" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "In the first year of investment, it always costs more. Buying land and building a factory always costs money. But now Huitong Bank is slowly improving, and the silk factory is also making a profit, not to mention the trade with the Liao State and the Wa State. Survive this year and start making a profit the next year. At that time, I have more things that need to be developed and produced by Huangzhuang......"

When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, all those unhappiness were left behind and began to calculate how much money she could make. Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Zitong has become a fan of small wealth!" ”

"Isn't it good to be a fan of small money?" Zhou Zhiruo listened, pouted, don't look over, and pretended to ignore him.

Lu Chengqi smiled: "How can it be bad, my money bag is in Zitong's hands, naturally the more the better." If Zitong doesn't give me money one day, I'll be poor and white......"

Hearing Lu Chengqi's miserable words, Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't say this Huangzhuang, the world is yours, how can you be poor and white?" ”

Lu Chengqi sighed: "Although the whole world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. But if I really ask too much of the people, it is strange that the people of the world do not rise up. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, still yesterday; How dare you forget the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. Since I have become the Son of Heaven, I have to be responsible for the people. Zitong knows books and etiquette, and must understand this truth. I have Zitong as a virtuous helper, and I will be able to achieve the great cause of Zhongxing! (To be continued.) )
