"Your Majesty means that I should recruit the victims and go out to sea to fish? And then send fish to Henan and Shaanxi for disaster relief? Xu Guangqi asked.

"Exactly, I mean that building as many fishing boats as possible, going out to sea to catch fish, making dried fish out of salt, and then transporting them to disaster relief sites, all by water, should be able to solve a large part of the food problem, far more reliable than all the food in the field." Yang Gai smiled and said his plan.

Zhou Yanru couldn't wait, and felt that this way was simply no better than this, so he applauded immediately, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a good way, a good way!" The grain in the field cannot be harvested every day, but the fish in the sea can indeed be harvested every day! It is really a good way to organize the victims to fish, and the fish they get do not need to be paid, and they can save themselves, but I don't know, Your Majesty, how much is this fishing capacity? How many people can be fed? And the thing about this fishing boat? Zhou Yanru thinks this is a good way, much stronger than the light to recruit disaster victims to assist in shipping, recruit disaster victims, fish to save themselves, no need to pay wages, this, calculated, very cost-effective, far stronger than the food in the ground to save lives, the fish in the water, can be hunted all year round, but the food in the field can not be harvested every day!

"Hehe, the fish in the sea, for now, even if I pour the power of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to finish it, how big the ocean is, I think you also understand, as for how many people can eat? This, I just heard Qin Yaozu say that the small sampan of one or two people can harvest dozens of catties every day, right! As for the big fishing boat, there are a few people, more than a dozen people, this number is huge, it may produce thousands of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties, it is not uncommon, Qin Yaozu, I am right? Yang Reform told the data that Qin Yaozu said, in fact, Yang Reform still has a low heart for this, when he watched TV, there were many people who played tens of thousands of catties in the lake, and even hundreds of thousands of catties were not nothing. Therefore, 10,000 catties is by no means very difficult.

Qin Yaozu has also recovered now, and when he heard the emperor speak, he seemed to have a very good impression of himself, so his waist pole was also stiff, and he swore and said: "Back to Your Majesty, indeed, this slave dares to guarantee that as long as he is diligent, the small sampan of one or two people will fish in the offshore sea, and harvest a hundred and ten catties a day, which is not a problem at all, as for the yellow croaker boat, and even other big fishing boats, this harvest is even more, 10,000 catties at a time is not a problem at all, and it is not difficult to have more than tens of thousands of catties...... this, the slave can definitely guarantee this." ”

Yo yo, I didn't see it, this guy is quite capable of blowing, Yang Reform thinks it's a little interesting, this guy just gave some color, and he dared to open a dye shop.

However, Xu Guangqi is not so easy to fool.

"Your Majesty, the minister's hometown, is also on the seaside, and often deal with fishermen, and also know about this sea fishing, as far as the minister knows, one or two people's small sampan, fishing every day, indeed as the minister said, dozens of catties are not a problem, more, 100 catties also, but this big fishing boat, this is not a matter of forgiveness, large fishing boats, such as this kind of yellow croaker boat, every time they go to sea, less than one or two months, more than two or three months, each harvest of 10,000 catties, tens of thousands of catties is indeed not a problem, however, it is also a few months of work, on average, It's about the same as a small sampan, but the value of this fish is much higher, and it can be sold for a good price......" Xu Guangqi looked like he was thinking deeply about his memories, and what he said choked Qin Yaozu half to death, feelings, your old man is an expert, and this layman fools you, an insider, it is really a class axe, and his heart is very weak, so he lowered his head at the moment, and did not dare to look at people.

Yang Gengai remembered that Xu Guangqi grew up by the sea, and his hometown was Shanghai in the future, but he forgot about this.

"Oh, yes! Master Xu, since you grew up on the seashore and know about fishing on the sea, why didn't you say it earlier? Isn't this a sincere desire to die in a hurry? Yang Reform was very happy, and he couldn't imagine that this fishing thing, around him, and insiders.

Xu Guangqi looked serious and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is embarrassed by Your Majesty, but the minister is worried that this sea production is not easy, and the fishermen's life is hard, and it is not easy to fish!" Also, this pirate is also a please, and besides, this farmer can't fish, let alone set up a boat, even if he can organize the victims to save himself through work, he still has to think of a way! Xu Guangqi has already thought about the problem deeply, and the question is very acute and direct.

Yang Gai nodded, and said: "Yes, what Master Xu said is good, this farmer can't water, let alone fish, let alone set up a boat, this is indeed a problem to organize them to go to sea to fish, this pirate, but don't worry too much, this fishing boat is not like a merchant ship, there is a huge amount of wealth, besides, my sailor is not a vegetarian, I have already started to build warships, this is not a problem, several people have said, what to do." "Yang Reform is now working on the spot, and if something goes wrong, he will immediately find a way to solve it.

Xu Guangqi saw that the emperor did not pay enough attention to the matter of piracy, so he didn't say much.

…… In the Wenhua Palace, there was silence.

Zhou Yanru was the most clever, and soon, he came up with an idea and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan." ”

"Say."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is okay to hire local fishermen as teachers and lead these victims to fish, I believe that in January, these victims will be able to fish." Zhou Yanru felt that this question was very simple.

Yang Gengai thought about it for a while, felt that it made some sense, and nodded.

Xu Guangqi disagreed, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not so simple, fishing with a small sampan, it's enough to learn for a month, but if you use a big fishing boat to fish, it will be a few days at least, a few months at most, and there is no time, I'm afraid you can't learn, if the disaster victims want to learn from fishermen to go out to sea, the court will definitely build boats for them, and it will take time to build boats, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with this year's famine!" In addition, the disaster victims use new boats, good boats, and fishermen use old boats, old boats, and there will inevitably be resentment, and how long will this disaster relief last? Wouldn't it be a waste if too many fishing boats were built and disaster relief would be no longer available? Xu Guangqi thought about the problem, and really thought deeply.

Zhou Yanru was silent, this question, he just had an idea, thinking of a little, he felt that everything was fine, and the depth of thinking still couldn't catch up with Xu Guangqi.

"Well, that's really the problem." Yang reformed in the Wenhua Palace, turning in circles. In fact, Yang Reform also has his own plans, but Yang Reform does not plan to say this plan now, which is related to Taiwan and Nanyang in the future.

After thinking for a while, Yang Reform said: "Disaster relief, I said, at least more than ten years, this, shipbuilding and fishing, will definitely not be wasted......" Yang Reform immediately affirmed that this disaster relief time will definitely accompany his emperor career. You can't go wrong with that.

Seeing that the emperor is very sure that it has been more than ten years, Xu Guangqi does not object, this question should be believed. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have made such a fanfare of millions of immigrants.

“…… As for the number of boats, I think about it, if we are measured by the number of millions of stonefish per year, how many fishing boats will be needed? Yang asked reform.

Millions of stone fish, when everyone heard the number given by the emperor, they also gasped, it seems that the emperor's determination is very big! They all grew their mouths and looked at the emperor in surprise.

"Your Majesty, it is calculated that each sampan produces fifty catties of fish per day, and every two days is one stone, a year, excluding those who can't go to sea, count it for three hundred days, and it is one hundred and fifty stone fish per year, according to reason, six or seven thousand sampan boats are enough, this kind of sampan can't be too small, and there are one or two thousand people, of course, you have to add a helper to deal with these fish, it is estimated that it will take thirty or forty thousand people, and in these fifty catties of fish, you have to go to miscellaneous and salted into dried fish, which is afraid that you have to go a lot, and the minister estimates that seventy or eighty thousand people look like Fish that produce millions of stones every year, I am afraid that it is okay, this, the imperial court has to fund the construction of a boat, this is an expense, of course, can not all use sampans, but also have to use large fishing boats, such as yellow croaker boats, sand fish boats, in this way, in order to go out to the ocean, to a farther place to fish, this yield, is also high, each boat needs about eight people, the sea time does not need to be too long, just to ten years, each trip down, afraid that you can harvest more than 10,000 catties, however, the cost of this large fishing boat is high, is several times that of small sampans, which will definitely cost a greater amount of money to build a ship......" Xu Guangqi began to explain the fishery matter endlessly.

Yang Reform listened to it in a mess, the more he listened, the more bottomless he became, what should he do about this? It's a good idea, but there's no guide to action! There is no place to learn from, this ancient world, never took fishing seriously, and there has never been such a precedent for large-scale fishing disaster relief in ancient times, what can I do? If you want to find a reference, it seems that you can only find it in the later generations, this, you have to get it at night, Yang Reform is ready to see how the fishery is done in the 21st century.

Yang Gai was thinking about it, and he would discuss this matter tomorrow, and he would decide now, but he really didn't have a spectrum in his heart. Wait until you find out the information about the fishing industry in the future.

At this time, Wang Chengen said again: "Your Majesty, the household servant Bi Ziyan begged to see him." ”

Yang Reform is distressed that there is no good excuse to shirk, and now, finally a savior, immediately said: "Well, let's do it first, there is no precedent for this large-scale fishing disaster relief, there is no trace of it, I think, it is better to think about it more, so as not to make mistakes, a few people will think about it after they go back, and now we will discuss it here." Yang resolutely put an end to the discussion of fishing disaster relief. This, I really don't have any spectrum, let alone any overall consideration, this has to go back at night to search, learn from the way of the future, now I can only pause, to discuss another important thing, coinage. The matter of silver coins is done, however, coinage, new money, including copper coins, and other silver coins of different currencies, this, Bi Ziyan is responsible for writing a note. It was delivered today, and it was fast.

Xu Guangqi and a few people looked at each other, such a good thing is not discussed? Since the emperor has spoken, let's discuss it later, so they retired, and they are busy with disaster relief.

Bi Ziyan was busy for a night, and only then did he get the different values of the copper and silver coins, the content of the metals in the various coins, and how much the value should be, and carefully checked them before he came to see the emperor.

"The ministers have bowed to your majesty, long live, long live, long live." Bi Ziyan kowtowed as soon as he entered the hall.

"Get up, Bi Aiqing, can you get the coinage slip?" Yang Reform has already sat back in the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already written, please take a look at it." Bi Ziyan took out his slip and handed it over.

Wang Chengen took it and sent it to the emperor.

Yang Reform was very afraid of looking at other people's notes, so he flipped through them casually, and sure enough, there were many words in it that he didn't recognize, and he was dizzy when he saw it, so he said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's decree, seven coins and two cents of a silver coin as a sample, set as a 'circle', weighing seven coins and two cents, should be worth seven coins and two cents, and there is a relatively small silver horn, with three coins and six cents heavy, for one' In addition, there are new copper coins, the minister imitates the Taizu custom, set out a text, when two, when five, when ten, several copper coins, a penny with copper one penny three, when two weigh two money six, when ten then weigh thirteen money, then a thousand Wen with copper eight catties and one tael, and a thousand Wen really weighs eight catties and eight taels, so, every thousand Wen Province copper seven taels, moreover, the copper price per catty ranges from 80 to 100 Wen, eight catties of copper can mint a thousand Wen, therefore, each catty of copper can be minted with a copper coin of 1,000 Wen, so each catty of copper can be minted out of copper coins, the value of 123 Wen is strange, and buy a pound of copper only need 100 Wen, so, this has a difference of twenty or thirty Wen, which is considered fire consumption, fire consumption is about 20%, and the fire consumption of the state and county of the world is similar, all the copper coins, one side of the casting 'Chongzhen Tongbao', to represent His Majesty's money, on the other hand, the casting of duty, supervision of the ......, copper coins, the minister suggested that His Majesty use a small flat money is enough...... "Bi Ziyan to his own currency value, metal ratio, casting ratio, that is quite clear, in one breath, to report out.

Yang Reform is like listening to the book of heaven, what is the fire paint, spin the edge, and I don't understand how to calculate the value of copper coins and copper, what is a thousand Wen, how many catties, and how many dollars, but in the end, I understand a data, other people's fire consumption has 20%, far more than their own 10% of the fire consumption, with this 20% of the fire consumption, Yang Reform is not worried, anyway, he will not lose.

"Well, that's good, Bi Aiqing, what's going on with that half-yuan?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty set this silver coin as a circle, the minister thinks it is right, this silver coin is round, there is no hole in the middle, and there is a 'one' word written in the middle, the minister thinks, it is indeed okay to call it 'a circle', as for the semicircle, this, Your Majesty, this semicircle is worth three coins and six taels of silver, which is half of the 'one circle', so the minister calls it 'half a circle', if Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, please give another name." Bi Ziyan explained.

Dizzy...... It turns out that others regard the "yuan" they said as "circle", and there is a good explanation, forget it, "one circle" is a circle, and said: "Bi Aiqing is reasonable, this silver coin is round, just use the circle as an expression, it is more intuitive, this semicircle is ......, not good, what did Bi Aiqing say about this semicircle just now?" Silver slots? Then it's called 'corner', it's worth a semicircle, it's called a pentagram, by the way, what kind of silver coin uses fire paint, spin edge, you can use it. "Yang Reform doesn't understand what this is, since Bi Ziyan called it to use, then use it, and also use the unit of the horn.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Ziyan agreed, feeling inexplicable, didn't you personally set this circle a few days ago, the emperor?

"Also, the fire consumption of that copper coin is twenty percent? That's right? "Yang Reform once again confirmed that there is nothing wrong with this matter.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true, the general price of raw copper is about 100 wen a catty, which is the best raw material for coinage, and some are bronze, cooked copper, old copper, these coppers, which contain impurities, made of copper coins, the color is not enough, it is the inferior material of copper coins, and a pound of copper, minted copper coins, there are more than 120 Wen, so, in the middle, there is a difference of more than 20 Wen, plus copper coins, need to be doped with some lead and tin, so, 20% of the fire consumption, there is no problem at all......" Bi Ziyan on this coin, That's a hundred faiths.

"And all this money is made? The result? It's not going to be dark, is it? "Yang Reform now, I haven't seen what the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty are like, living in the palace, someone is waiting, and the use of silver money does not go through his own hands. The impression of the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty has always been the impression that it is covered with patina and black and does not slip in autumn, so I decided to ask my "Chongzhen Tongbao" what it looks like.

Bi Ziyan glared at the emperor for a long time, not understanding what the emperor meant by asking like this, didn't he understand enough to say? This copper coin is made of high-quality materials close to pure copper! A thousand coins are mixed with seven taels of lead and tin, and you still ask what this money is, of course, it is the same as copper!

"Back to Your Majesty, this money is modeled after Taizu's custom, and the copper is all of the highest grade, and eight catties and eight taels of copper are mixed with seven taels of lead, so, Your Majesty, this money is made of the same as copper, and it is yellow and immersed." Bi Ziyan thought about it for a long time, and could only say this.

Bi Ziyan said this, Yang Reform finally understood, it turned out that his money was about the same as pure copper, and it would not be the appearance he saw in the 21st century.

"Well, that's good, so I'm relieved." Yang Gengchang sighed, he didn't want the money he had made, he didn't have anything to look at, he still wanted the face of this traverser.

"By the way, how much money can you probably make from this coinage?" Yang Reform thinks about this 20% of the fire consumption, what's the matter, he has to make a lot of money.

"Back to Your Majesty, based on the amount of casting of Taizu back then, 190,000 guan, 20% of the fire consumption, there should be 38,000 guan of fire consumption, excluding labor, charcoal fire, consumption, about 10% of the surplus is good, about 19,000 guan, about 20,000 taels of silver." Bi Ziyan explained.

Damn, it took me a long time, and it was only 20,000 taels of silver, which is really not powerful! Yang Gai scolded in his heart, didn't he say that coinage in ancient times was a money-making business? Why can't I make money now? Alas...... Forget it, I don't expect this copper coin to make money, minting hundreds of millions of copper coins, a total of 190,000 taels of silver, and it's not fierce to get them all. Or make some money from the silver coins, when I think of the super capital of minting silver coins, Yang Reform is in tears again, so far, his own minting has not yet landed.
