Chapter 222 Commander-in-Chief
……
Aya continued: "Abang, at present, our grain can basically be eaten for three months, and it will take more than four months to receive the next batch of grain, and the grain also needs to find a way to buy a part, and the administrative expenses have always been negative......
"Then how can we make more money all at once, our maritime trade has just begun, and only a part of the market in the north of Huzhou County has been opened, where there is a certain limit to the ability to digest goods, and the only way to do that is to open up the sea route in the south, but it is not richer than Huzhou County, and our goods will cost a great deal to create, and this funding gap is still very large......" This also stumped Liu Zhibang.
Hearing this, Bai Huanjuan continued: "Patriarch, I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”
Liu Zhibang hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it!" ”
Bai Huanjuan said: "What is the largest mineral resource of our Han nationality? ”
Liu Zhibang thought for a while and replied: "We have copper, iron, coal, and kaolin, and the largest output is of course copper......
Bai Huanjuan said again: "Then, patriarch, what can copper be made?" ”
"Bronze sword? Weapons? It's not as good as iron...... Ah, and you can mint copper coins...... Do you mean to let me mint copper coins and send them to the officials? ”
Bai Huanjuan shook her head and said, "If we make our own coins and send them to our own people, but there are no corresponding materials, then the price will only skyrocket, and no matter how many copper coins we have, it will be useless, but we will mess up our own market." I mean, if we can make all kinds of weapons and tools, why can't we make the enemy's coins out of copper and buy their things, so that we can get a lot of supplies and mess up the enemy's economy......"
Liu Zhibang, Mu Tong and Aya listened to this, their eyes were round, their mouths were wide open, and they didn't come to their senses for a long time. In the end, Liu Zhibang recovered first, nodded and said, "Hey, Mrs. Bai, you are really powerful, I ...... such a way Why didn't I think of it, fighting an economic war, killing people without seeing blood, too powerful, too ruthless......"
The three of them looked at Liu Zhibang with blank eyes, and waited for him to give an order, Liu Zhibang thought for a while, and said: "In this way, the copper processing in the ancestral cave will free up part of the production capacity to make copper coins, as long as you can make 300,000 copper coins a day, forget it, and bring six million copper coins and other goods to trade together each time......"
"Six million at a time...... That's six hundred gold coins......" Mu Tong's mouth opened even wider.
Aya was also howling in her heart: "My man is ruthless! I like it! ”
……
Baiyangdu New Town, surrounded by water on three sides, the circumference is more than ten miles, only the city wall on the northwest side has been repaired at present, the city wall of the east and south is still being built day and night, on the south side of the new city is a large piece of wasteland, at this time countless grass huts have been temporarily erected, tens of thousands of refugees live in this temporary residence, although many inconveniences, but can line up to drink two meals of white porridge every day, these people have been very happy, it is better than starving to death in their hometown, Yi Zi and eating countless times stronger, everyone is extremely grateful to the Han people, It was also very peaceful, and there was no riot.
In front of an inconspicuous grass hut of the same style, a young man sat bored on the ground in front of the straw hut, seemingly strolling, but in fact carefully observing every movement in the surrounding area. In the grass shed behind the ragged man, there were more than ten sturdy men sitting tightly, one of whom was a thirty-six or seventeen-year-old middle-aged man who swept everyone in the house and said in a deep voice: "Have you figured out the situation?" ”
Everyone nodded, and one of the young men with a white face took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged man and said, "General......"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and the young man shrank and hurriedly changed his words: "Ah...... Big brother, I was wrong, this is a map I drew through the information I gathered from everyone, please take a look! ”
The middle-aged man swept everyone with cold eyes, and said: "You remember for me, when I get to the territory of the Han people, I am your eldest brother, if anyone leaks his mouth again, don't blame me for being unkind, hum ......"
Seeing everyone bowing their heads, the middle-aged man turned his eyes to the piece of paper he was holding, and sighed: "Damn, a blank piece of paper costs thirty copper plates, this Liu Zhibang can really make money...... I really didn't expect that Liu Zhibang didn't personally lead the army to come this time, we had to find his lair, there are still more than 700 miles away from the Han people's base camp Fire Dance City, we don't have a fire horse, if we want to be sent to Fire Dance City, we still have to spend some thought and time......"
One of the rough-looking men interjected in a sullen voice, "Big brother, the black dragon is ...... Brother Black Dragon, why did he want us to do this kind of thing, he was fighting on the battlefield, wouldn't it be more refreshing, could it be that our invincible 'Black Dragon Army' in the world was still afraid of him, and the Han Army would not succeed? ”
The rough man's words caused the others to nod their heads, and their faces were quite disapproving.
The middle-aged man led by him looked at the rough man, and did not reprimand, but said: "Brother Heilong has his ideas, we just need to follow the order, don't care, everyone go back to rest, tonight the third watch will come to the Luoyan Pavilion ten miles south of the city to meet." Remember, whoever gets caught, never reveal a single bit of information, get it? ”
"Understood!"
And the commander of Baiyangdu New City, Zhong Ah Meng, has already announced the dissolution of the meeting, and the generals have walked out, Ah Meng turned his head to see that a tall figure of Ana was also about to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Ruan, stay for a while!" ”
Ruan Xiangju turned around and asked, "Commander-in-chief, do you have anything else?" ”
Ah Meng looked at a few guards in the house, and said majestically: "You go out, close the door, I have something important to discuss with Senior Commander Ruan!" ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the door was closed, Ah Meng immediately changed his flattering face and said, "Xiangju, long time no see, I miss you so much!" ”
Ruan Xiangju glanced at Ah Meng and said, "What does the commander-in-chief want me to do!" ”
Ah Meng pulled Ruan Xiangju to sit down and said, "It's only been a few days, hey, this won't work, I'm going to talk to the commander when I go back, and transfer you to me!" ”
Ruan Xiangju thought of the mediocre-looking, not tall, but unforgettable figure at first sight, her heart was slightly sour, and she looked at Ah Meng's rough face again, and sighed for no reason.
Ah Meng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Xiangju, don't worry, I discussed it with our eldest brother some time ago, and he said that as long as you are willing, he has no opinion, and your second brother also has this attitude, Xiangju, look, when will we tell the commander about this matter......
