Chapter 773 Go to the great country Kaifeng to pay tribute
"Remember, bad money such as five coins and ten coins are not among the bad coins! Cai Jing has plagued the people of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and we can't let this disaster spread to the immigrants of the peninsula, so we will only redeem a penny! Make it clear to the two leaders of Du Qian and Du Xing! Wang Lun finally added. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhang Xiaochun.
The latter didn't even have a polite smile, and just stared at the teacup on the table in a daze. Liangshan's group of people are so good that they only say "point" two sentences, but they can dig deep into the root in an instant!
Due to the scale of coinage and raw materials, the copper coins put on the market every year in the Great Song Dynasty are not enough, and some surrounding countries, such as Liao, have been smuggling a large number of copper coins of the Song Dynasty into their own market circulation, which is still a big country with the ability to mint money, not to mention some other small countries, directly regard the copper coins of the Song Kingdom as the world's copper coins, and the copper coins of the Song Dynasty have also become the hard currency circulating in the market in many countries.
Who knew that because of Zhang Xiaochun's few words, there was another ghost-like Wang Lun among the forces that were eyeing copper coins! He has Liangshanbo in Jingdong as a channel, and this loophole must be difficult to fill in a short period of time! If the court learns about this, he Zhang Xiaochun will not be able to turn over in his life.
Bitter also! Bitter!
"Although it is easy to get the copper money of the Great Song Dynasty, we also have to pay the equivalent of the money and silver, and it is not a long-term solution in the long run! The matter of minting money is very important, and I hope that the leader of the king will not take it lightly! Zhang Xiaochun pinched his nose and said.
"I'm more anxious about this matter than Zhang Tong's judgment! The people of the old country are deeply harmed by bad money, if I Liangshan casts money and obtains the law, I will definitely feed the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the future! Wang Lun took a sip of the tea in the cup and ordered: "Zou Yuan and Zou Run of Qingyun Mountain will be reorganized into the garrison gold army on the same day, with ten battalions of guards and ten battalions of craftsmen, except for leaving five battalions of guards and one battalion of craftsmen in the same place to continue mining the silver mine of Qingyun Mountain. The rest of the personnel were all transferred to Seoul under the leadership of Zou Yuan and were responsible for the development of the peninsula's mineral deposits! â
Everyone here thinks that the title of this gold unit is very interesting, of course, no one will be so simple as to think that this team is only responsible for gold mining, Wang Lun's meaning is already obvious, but all the peninsula mineral deposits are in charge of this team.
"Brother, the younger brother has been in Lintun County for a few months, although it is mountainous at the beginning, I have not heard of any natives opening mines, is it not to interrogate Li Ziqian and Han Anren first?" Xiao Jiasui spoke.
"As far as I know. Most of Goryeo's mineral deposits are north of Seoul, and its reserves of gold, silver, copper, and iron are quite abundant! However, it's okay to ask these people, and this matter will be handed over to Gong Cao Tang to join the army! Wang Lun doesn't remember the location of the specific mineral deposits on the peninsula very clearly, but he remembers that the north is rich and the south is poor (mineral resources), and there is even the largest open-pit iron mine in Asia to the north.
Wang Lun is said to be well-known in Yangsan, and what he said did not cause much shock, since he said that the north of Seoul is rich in mineral deposits. That must not be groundless, everyone can't help but smile when they think of the future prospects. Wen Huanzhang didn't express his opinion on this matter, but just asked: "Since the old department of Qingyun Mountain has been reorganized into the Golden Army. The choice of the big family is still expected to be considered by the lord. In addition, the leader of Erlongshan Deng Fei was transferred to Seoul, and the big leader has been vacant, which is not conducive to future development! â
"Qingyun Mountain was first taken care of by the Zou Run brothers, and anyway, the silver mines in the mountain have not been exhausted. Erlong Mountain. Ren Yuan and Zhou Zhi are still young and not enough to take on big responsibilities, and this matter is a bit tricky. We'll talk about it later! â
Don't look at the hundreds of leaders in Liangshanbo now, and there are many talents, but they are all a radish and a pit, and it is difficult to make up for the lack of anyone. The left and right hands of Yang Lin in Yanshan Village have been transferred to the peninsula, and he has not yet been made up, and there are two big masters who lack sufficient qualifications in the village, which is really difficult for Wang Lun to cook without rice.
Talent!
Wang Lun sighed secretly, not only are these two cottages short of people, but the newly established three states are not lacking in good officials to govern? There are still four places left in Goryeo, and sooner or later it will be in the pocket of Yangsanbo, and there is an urgent need for talents.
These problems cannot be solved by one's own hematopoietic function in a short period of time. If the people who threw themselves into the mountains want to say that it is not a big problem to choose the best and strongest from them, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. In the final analysis, it is still that today's Liangshan is not very attractive to the scholar class, which has caused the dilemma that there is no one at present. is Zhang Xiaochun, who even plays Infernal Affairs, and Wang Lun can only be patient to accompany him.
Seeing that the word "Chuan" appeared between Wang Lun's eyebrows, everyone knew that this was the habit of the owner of the village when he was contemplating, and everyone interrupted Wang Lun's train of thought without saying anything, and everyone was drinking tea in a sullen voice, and suddenly only heard Wang Lun laugh, and his face was full of suspicion, and said:
"A few days ago, I received a late news, the Liao State Tokyo General Gao Yongchang expelled the Dagong Ding, Gao Qingming and other Liao State Tokyo officials, with his three thousand soldiers raised troops against Liao, and soon occupied the Liao State Tokyo, and proclaimed himself the Emperor of the Great Bohai Sea, the founding name of the Great Yuan State, the founding of the year called Longji, and then captured more than 50 states of the Liao State Tokyo Province. Of course, the Liao State will not sit idly by, and immediately raise troops to quell the rebellion, but Gao Yongchang and the Jurchens joined forces to defeat the counterinsurgency army of Han Jianu and Zhang Lin, and afterwards the Jurchen lord Wanyan Agu forced Gao Yongchang to surrender, Gao Yongchang of course refused, the two parties returned to Liaodong and merged with each other, and then Gao Yongchang was captured and beheaded by the Jin, and now the fifty-four states in Liaodong were all annexed by the Jin! â
This news is like cold water dripping into boiling oil, causing everyone to talk about it, Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui obviously also know the news, but they don't understand Wang Lun's intentions at this time, so they only heard Wang Lun say again:
"The Jurchens' attention is all on the Khitans, not necessarily on the Goryeo. At this time, the main force of Wanyan Aguda was not in the hinterland of Changbai Mountain, and its impact on our great cause of reunification was limited. â
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, most of the military leaders were not here at this time, why did Wang Lun suddenly release this news at the regional meeting? Everyone hasn't come back to their senses yet, so they just heard Wang Lun continue:
"The Northern Route Army is under the command of Xiao Duhu, under the jurisdiction of the Ma Army's Xu Ning Division, Zhang Qing Division, Lu Junyi Division, Hua Rong Division, and the Infantry Army Sun An Division, Xuan Qi Division, Luan Tingyu Division, Bian Xiang Division, and the Ruan Xiao Second Division of the Navy Army is followed up by the army in the western waters of the peninsula, responsible for logistics and other affairs, and the goal is Dawei Guo, responsible for recovering the territory of Goryeo Xikaidao and the northern boundary."
"The East Route Army is led by Zhu Wu, the division of the Shenji Army, and has jurisdiction over the pro-army Han Shizhong Division, the garrison army Lin Chong Division, the Ma Army Guan Sheng Division, the infantry army Lu Zhishen Division, Li Kui Division, Wu Song Division, and Ma Xun Division. The Navy Nguyen Xiaoqi Division was followed by the army in the eastern waters of the peninsula, and the army was responsible for recovering the Koju Road and the northern border of Goryeo! â
When everyone heard that Wang Lun sent out his own army, but he did not command with the army, they were a little puzzled, and Xiao Jiasui immediately asked, "Brother is in Seoul?" â
When the leaders heard this, it turned out that Wang Lun wanted to focus on governing the state capital. Also, the forces of Goryeo have almost been beaten to pieces, and the hearts of the people on the peninsula are on the side of Liangshan (Great Song Dynasty), how big a wave can the remaining miscellaneous fish make? Wang Lun's non-go-going is also a proper meaning.
Just when everyone thought that Wang Lun would stay in Seoul, at this time, Wang Lun gave them the opposite answer. said: "There is Mr. Wen in Seoul, and there are such talents as Zhang Tongju, I am not worried." I am going to go back to Liangshan with the fleet of the navy, and I don't need to mobilize the army, just take Jiao Ting and a battalion of the pro-army with me. â
Back to Yangsan!? Could it be that he is worried that something will happen to the imperial court?
The thoughtful leader had already thought of the war in Hedong, and Tian Yi was secretly wondering if Tian Hu was about to be unable to bear it, and Wang Lun wanted to go back and arrange a follow-up plan to deal with this series of changes.
Wen Huanzhang also felt a little sudden at this time, and was about to speak, but saw Wang Lun give him a look. With the tacit understanding between the two, Wen Huanzhang realized that Wang Lun had something to say later, and immediately nodded slightly in response. Xiao Jiasui is also a serious person. No opinion was expressed at this time.
The two deputy Du Hu had no doubt about Du Hu's statement, and all of them were leaders who were not very close to the military operation, so they were all relatively quiet, so Wang Lun simply arranged the work after he left.
"The problem of grain and grass for the fields distributed to migrants is no longer a big problem. But with the number of cattle that I have in my cottage now, it is obviously not as good as one per household. Mr. Wen, you must first ensure that the people of each household who have not delayed the farming time are allocated to the ploughing cattle. As for the immigrants who settled down later, before next year's spring ploughing, the cottage will find a way to fulfill its promise! â
"This matter is easy to do, now the cottage and the lord are the will of the people, and the people will understand our hardships!" Wen Huanzhang nodded in response.
"That's good!" Wang Lun smiled and nodded, and then his eyes turned to the leader of the cottage who had the least sense of zĂ i, "Hou Jian, when can your workshop start?" â
Although Hou Jian is the leader of Liangshan, he is a nodding leader, and he usually meets Wang Lun a lot in the cottage, and he can see Wang Lun as soon as he looks up during the discussion in the Juyi Hall, but the key is that he can't speak at all. Even if you want to find a way to report to work, you don't know what to talk about, because you have always been in an embarrassing situation in the cottage with not much of him and not a lot of him...... The location has not yet been selected......
"You have only been here for a short time, and you may not be familiar with Seoul, tomorrow I will send someone from Goryeo to accompany you to find an address in the mansion!" Wang Lun also knew that he had to choose one or several places that could accommodate 200,000 maidservants (the collateral harvest of Han Anren's surrender in Luozhou), no, it should be called a female worker now, such an open place is definitely not easy to choose, and Hou Jian is notoriously weak, so he is called a new workshop envoy to coordinate various departments, but I am afraid that it will be a ghost.
"If there is anything difficult to solve in the future, find me directly, and find Mr. Wen! By the way, Tang Long, what kind of expression do you have, their armor workshop is not under your Gongcao, so you should care more about it! The shipyard in Renxian County is also to give more support and strive for Hou Jian and Ye Chun to be put into production as soon as possible! Ye Chun is researching new artificially powered ocean-going vessels on Jeju Island, but his main business also includes supervising the construction of passenger boats. Although there is no shortage of timber on Jeju Island at the moment, there is only one county after all, and it is no better than the wood-rich Goryeo Peninsula, and sooner or later there will be a shortage of timber in the future. It was Wang Lun who transferred him to Inxian to continue his research, and the shipyard on Jeju Island was not closed, and a small leader was selected to preside over it, but the output of ships was reduced.
Tang Long was a little embarrassed by Wang Lun's words, scratched his head and said, "It's the junior brother who is derelict in his duties!" Brother Hou Jian, tomorrow I will accompany you to personally select the site, by the way, I also want to ask the two parents to support a lot! â
Feng Xi and Tian Yi knew that this one-armed numb-faced man seemed rude, but his origin was not small. Xu Ning, the founder of the Liangshan Horse Army, is his cousin, and Lu Zhishen, the leader of the infantry army, and Guanghui Toutuo, who pickets, have a good relationship with him, and even Han Shizhong, who is also close to him, is also quite close to this person.
At this time, in front of Wang Lun and the two deputy Du Hu, both of them patted their chests, and Feng Xi also said very affectionately, "We are all on an errand in the Duhu Mansion, and we are very welcome to come to the small county to choose a site!" â
In addition to the Hanyang County Decree on his head, he also has the hat of the Governor of the Metropolitan Protector Shi. Although in the Tang Dynasty, the rank of the long history of the capital protectorate and Sima was higher than that of the following Zhu Cao to join the army, but Wang Lun also made some changes when he opened the Andong capital palace, and the long history, Sima and Zhu Cao were of average level, and there was no distinction between high and low grades. The former is equivalent to the secretary general of the civil and military affairs of the capital (more often, Feng Xi serves Wen Huanzhang, and Sima Sun An corresponds to Xiao Jiasui), while the latter is an institution corresponding to the ministries of officials, soldiers, households, workers, and criminals.
By the way, at this time, the candidates for Wu Cao to join the army have been decided, except for Jiang Jing of Hu Cao and Tang Long of Gong Cao, the Gong (official) Cao who is in charge of determining merit rewards and punishments is Sun Fo's son Sun Ding. The soldier Cao joined the army and was determined to stay in Seoul to rest Shi Wengong, and the criminal Cao joined the army because of the stubborn blue-eyed tiger Li Yun.
"You might as well consider choosing a site in the new city, after all, 120,000 people is not a small number, which is conducive to overall planning. In addition, I have some ideas about the city gate after the expansion of the city, and I will have a picture with you before returning to Liangshan, and you will discuss it with Tao Zongwang when the time comes! Looking at Tang Long, who was eager to try, Wang Lun added another sentence. This man is not small in utilitarianism, and now he is in charge of such a big mess, and it is abnormal to be unexpected.
"Brother rest assured, the younger brother will take care of himself, and make sure that the brother is satisfied!" Tang Long assured.
"You have to satisfy Mr. Wen first, you can't pass him, don't talk big in front of me!" Wang Lun smiled, and the topic turned to Deng Fei, the governor of Seoul: "The number of prisoners in the city is too large, I'm afraid you can't support it alone, I will leave Dalang's Hancheng army and Shi Wengong's Fanluo army in Seoul to make sure it happens!" â
"Thank you brother for your understanding! The younger brother will entertain these brothers! Deng Fei clenched his fists and thanked.
Wang Lun nodded, and when he saw that he had almost finished explaining, he got up and said, "Okay, that's all for today, it's not too early, let's go back and rest early!" Both of them stood for a moment, and that ...... Hu Cheng brothers also stay! â
The leaders who were not named all moved their stiff limbs and got up to say goodbye, Zhang Xiaochun glanced at Wang Lun who was talking to Xiao Jiasui with a tangled gaze, and bowed his head and left.
Hu Cheng stayed with the two heavyweight leaders a little unknowingly, which felt weird. After Wang Lun and the two military advisors solemnly discussed for nearly an hour, they finally waited for the order of the village master:
"You go to the Changhe Hall (the former palace treasury) tomorrow to prepare a tribute gift for me, the kind that will make the faint monarch lose his mind at a glance!" (To be continued......)
