"The matter of going to the forest garden should not be delayed for too long; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing bento will be played on the court. ”

"If this is not the case, there will be no place for Shaofu to smelt soldiers, mint money, and so on; In addition, the official land of the forest garden can accommodate the people who have lost their land, and the tenants can recuperate with the people. ”

After Fang Cai's slightly heavy exchange, Yang Chengyan's face became a little more serious;

Hearing Liu Ying's explanation, Yang Chengyan just lowered his head and quickly memorized these things in his heart.

"And Yuqu, the court has planned to start construction in autumn and September, with An Guohou and the internal history as the mainstay, and the Qing and Shaofu as the assistants."

Liu Ying said indifferently, but Yang Chengyan frowned slightly, and asked a little tentatively, "Your Majesty." ”

"The canal, although it is a gift from His Majesty to the Grand Master, is also a matter of water conservancy;"

"According to the past practice, the state treasury should also contribute to the construction of water conservancy and canals······

"No!"

Without waiting for Yang Chengyan to finish speaking, Liu Ying raised his hand violently, and his face was even more resolute.

"This canal repair is all done by the joint efforts of the internal history and the Shaofu, and the Prime Minister must not interfere!"

said this with seriousness, and seeing that Yang Chengyan's face tightened with fright, Liu Ying groaned a little, and then explained perfunctorily: "Qing doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Today, the Taishi is seriously ill and bedridden, and the Marquis of Pingyang has not yet performed his duties, and the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion have not yet been clarified."

"If you make the canal and make the Marquis of Pingyang and the Prime Minister's Mansion do it, I'm afraid something will be wrong."

"Therefore, there is no need to be suspicious, just Xiao Yu An Guohou will work together to become a marquis."

As he spoke, Liu Ying did not forget to take a deep breath, then turned around as if at random, and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "Now that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, only Yu Yu is a little old. ”

"When the canal is completed, Qing should start the construction of the four walls of Chang'an."

"Hmmm······"

"I have to dig the ditch and build Chang'an, and I have built the Zhengguo canal and built the second palace of Changle Weiyang······"

"A thousand households?"

"Hmmm······"

"1,500 households, no one must ······"

As if muttering to herself, Liu Ying did not forget to pick up a long sword casually, pretending to be an expert, and carefully examining the forging process of the sword body.

But even if she didn't look back, Liu Ying could guess what kind of joy and unbearable expression Yang Chengyan had on his face.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty······"

After stumbling for a long time, he couldn't get the word 'Your Majesty' out completely, and Yang Chengyan finally pressed his chest with excitement, and solemnly bowed his hand to Liu Ying.

"Minister! I will live up to Your Majesty's trust!! ”

In just an instant, all of the 'treasury should also contribute some money' and what 'grain prices should be raised' were all left behind by Yang Chengyan.

From this moment on, Shaofu Qingyang Chengyan also completely turned into a tireless hot-blooded warrior.

Gai because Yang Chengyan understands that after his success, what awaits him is something that Chinese men can never resist;

——A precedent for a lineage, the ancestor of himself!

Liu Ying was not surprised by Yang Chengyan's sudden solemn mood, she only smiled indifferently and put the sword in her hand back into place.

Continuing to walk forward, Liu Ying did not forget to care about other affairs of Shaofu.

"The money is five baht, which is related to the lifeblood of the world's money and goods, so the matter of Shaofu minting money, Qing looked at it at the time, and must not be omitted;"

"The government grain and rice of the Shaofu government should also abide by the system of 'only five baht money', no matter whether the goods are bought, it should be the same."

Saying this vaguely, Liu Ying turned over slightly, and waited for Yangcheng to nod his head without changing his face, and finally settled down.

There are some things that Liu Ying is not convenient to say too bluntly.

——The war at the end of the Qin Dynasty had already caused the world's financial order to fall into chaos, or even cease to exist;

The three-baht coin that the former emperor Liu Bang had no choice but to implement completely destroyed the only remaining market order, and the financial status of 'coins' was also completely destroyed.

At that time, the poor treasury of the central Han dynasty could starve to death mice, and there were successive rebellions of princes with different surnames in the Kanto region, and it was still a no-go method to destroy the financial order in exchange for social order.

But now, after the Kanto region is completely pacified, the burden of rebuilding the financial order of the Han market falls on Liu Ying's shoulders.

The value of the currency was comparable to the three-baht money of the Tiandi Bank in later generations, the inflation was 3,000% higher than that of the Qin period, and the extreme scarcity of materials all made Liu Ying, a financial idiot, miserable;

However, fortunately, today's Han dynasty is still in the early stage of backward feudal civilization, and the role of financial order in the social system is not so critical, and it was completely destroyed by the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

To put it simply, Liu Ying does not need to achieve any specific financial goals, nor does she need to improve any specific situation, she only needs to draw on a blank piece of paper.

For example, coins, in the financial system of later generations, the complete loss of credit of a certain monetary system is almost an irreversible process;

But in the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying could rely on the sentence 'waste three baht coins and five baht coins' to re-prop up the credit of the coin.

This may seem incredible to future generations, but in reality, there is nothing incomprehensible.

- The monetary system of later generations supported the value of currency through the reserves of heavy metals such as gold and silver;

In other words, although a five-dollar note in later generations was essentially just a piece of paper, the value of this paper was that it could be exchanged for a precious metal of the same value, such as gold, from the bank that issued the coin at any time.

This is the core of the financial system of later generations: a monetary system built on the gold standard.

The credit collapse of the monetary system is often due to the fact that the coin issuer no longer has sufficient reserves of precious metals, i.e., precious metal reserves, which are not enough to exchange for the issued banknotes.

Coupled with human nature, it is already difficult to re-establish credit, which leads to the loss of monetary credit, which often becomes an irreversible process in later generations.

But for the 'backward' Han family, the re-establishment of monetary credit is not so complicated.

——The copper content of the three-baht coin is low, the people do not recognize it, and the reputation of the court is lost; The copper content of the five-baht coin reached the standard, and the people recognized the value of the five-baht coin, and the monetary credibility of the court could be picked up again.

Because unlike banknotes that 'support their face value with precious metals', the coins of the Han dynasty today are precious metals themselves!

After getting a five-baht coin, the people don't have to think about 'how much precious metal this five-baht coin can be exchanged for' like later generations, they only need to look at the five-baht coin itself, how much weight of copper there is.

In this way, the numismatic system is re-established;

But then, it was inflation that made Liu Ying feel annoyed, and she didn't even dare to make a big move, so she could only cautiously test the inflation.

Although she has almost no knowledge of finance, Liu Ying, as a later generation, also knows that in addition to human factors, inflation often stems from currency depreciation;

The depreciation of the currency is due to the increase in the issuance of money and the decrease in the total amount of goods.

To put it simply, if there is more money and less goods, the money will naturally be worthless, and the goods will naturally be more valuable.

The hyperinflation faced by the Han dynasty today is obviously not due to the 'indiscriminate issuance of paper money', but the decline in productivity, the shortage of materials, and the 'short supply' caused by years of war.

- After all, even if Liu Ying wanted to 'issue coins indiscriminately', he couldn't get so much copper ······ that cost almost no cost

Therefore, after realizing this problem, Liu Ying took the first step to eliminate the grain merchant group that contributed to inflation.

As for the reason, it is also easy to understand: in this era when the vast majority of people still regard 'food and wellness' as their primary goal, or even the only goal, the only material that can play a valuable reference point is food.

The price of grain will directly determine the price of other materials.

Therefore, eliminating the grain merchant group and controlling the grain market with the power of the state is the first step for Liu Ying to stabilize grain prices;

This is followed by an increase in productivity, a return to normal levels of supply, and thus a return to normal market inflation by keeping food prices down.

This is also easy to understand: at any time, the peasants will always be willing to take out the extra twenty catties of grain to change into clothes;

Or, in exchange for other necessities such as salt, vinegar, or farm tools.

And this is also the reason why Liu Ying deliberately explained to Yangchengyan that he artificially promoted the rate of decline in grain prices in order to speed up the rate of price decline.

Because from the perspective of supply and demand, when the world is completely stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the court is actively promoting water conservancy projects, the price of grain no longer has the condition of 'scarce is expensive';

It's like a high-rise building in the future, which is obviously enough for everyone in the world to live in, and there are even some left.

In later generations, due to the existence of banks and 'construction costs', housing prices could only be stabilized at a high point as much as possible, even if there was no condition of 'scarce as expensive', so as not to destroy the financial order.

But for the Han family, there are no such concerns.

- There is no cost for the people to farm the land, or in other words, the people don't care about the cost at all!

What the people care about is the grain they get from farming, whether they can feed their only son, whether they can get two clothes for their wives and children when they encounter a good year;

The people do not owe the bank 'grain loans', do not need to pay monthly payments, and no one will regard grain as an investment or a 'financial product to maintain value';

After Liu Ying's blood washed the grain merchant group in Guanzhong, there was no such group as 'grain speculators'.

In this way, it is imperative to bring food prices back to normal levels as soon as possible, thereby bringing the entire market back to normal.

After all, for the common people, there is no difference between the grain grown and sold for 2,000 yuan per stone and 1,500 yuan per stone, and the 200 yuan per stone and 150 yuan per stone.

In addition, the small government stores grain on behalf of the people, so that the living needs of the vast majority of the people can be met through grain storage, and although the money that can be exchanged for selling grain has decreased, the price has also decreased, and there will be no impact.

- It's like a salary of 300 and a house price of 3,000, and a salary of 3,000 and a house price of 30,000.

Thinking of this, Liu Ying thought of a major event that she had handed over to Yangchengyan a year ago.

"The matter of Wu State, how is it?"

A slightly abrupt question, but it made Yang Chengyan suddenly a little vigilant, and looked around with a warning in his eyes.

When the surrounding Shaofu officials and forbidden army warriors retreated a little farther, Yangcheng Yancai lowered the immortals, and said with joy on his face: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, everything is going well!" ”

"Since His Majesty personally ordered King Wu to 'gallop in Xu Shaofu', King Wu Yuchen should do everything;"

"In the summer of this year, Supervisor Yang ordered a report: 30,000 acres of salt fields have been opened on the coast of the East China Sea hundreds of miles west of Guangling!"

"If there are no variables, at the end of the year, this salt field is 30,000 acres, and the coarse salt can be no less than 100,000 stone !!."

As he spoke, Yang Chengyan's face became more and more excited.

——30,000 acres of salt field, you will get 100,000 stones of coarse salt!

This output alone is almost comparable to the grain output of Weibei in Shangguanzhong!

What made Yangchengyan overjoyed the most was that this salt pan was 'planted', but it was salt!

Grain is sold by stone, but this salt is by the pound, or even by two !!

Nowadays, a stone of grain in Guanzhong can only be worth three hundred and fifty yuan;

But a pound of salt can be sold for nearly five hundred dollars!

Demand is still in short supply!!

Although the salt that Shaofu 'planted' in Wu Country is relatively coarse and coarse, it is also salt!

Even if it is sold for 200 yuan per catty, or even 100 yuan, this is 100,000 stones, which is enough for tens of millions of catties of salt!!

For the people, two hundred yuan a pound of salt, not to mention the coarse salt with a worse taste, even if it is mixed with half of the soil, some people buy it and eat it!

Thinking of this, Yang Chengyan's gaze at Liu Ying couldn't help but become more and more enthusiastic.

"Your Majesty thinks that if the minister sends an order to Supervisor Yang, he will open another 100,000 acres of salt fields next year······"

With a slightly tentative word, Yang Chengyan even rubbed his hands excitedly, and waited impatiently for Liu Ying's reply.

——After seeing the efficiency of 'growing salt', Yangchengyan at this time, after five years of reverence, Shaofu has built a few new warehouses to save money.

Liu Ying was much calmer, only smiled slightly, and slowly turned her head sideways.

"Supervisor Yang ordered Wu Guo, and it has been a matter of salt for a long time."

"When the year is over, let it return to Chang'an."

"I've had another use."

If Yangcheng Yan didn't say it, Liu Ying almost forgot: under his own hands, there is also a 'remnant of the Mo family' who is upright!

"And the matter of opening up the salt pans, Qing will consider it himself."

"Just one thing, remember."

"——The benefits of Yantian must not be faked by others!"

"No matter whether it is the king of Wu, the king of Chu, the doubtful Kwantung County, or even the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they must not interfere!"

"The salt produced by Wu State must be exhausted in the Shaofu, and no grain of salt shall flow out!!"

was full of strong instructions, but it made Yang Chengyan suddenly a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Liu Ying no longer made a detour, only bowed her head slightly.

"The day after tomorrow, the court will discuss the queen mother: please set up the salt and iron division, which belongs to the Shaofu; One lieutenant is placed in the rank, and the rank is two thousand stones, and two people are thousands of stones. ”

"and the Salt and Iron Captain's Choice······"

"Well, Qing will raise the Marquis for it."

Dropping this sentence indifferently, Liu Ying turned around and walked towards the imperial chariot in the distance.

Behind Liu Ying, recalling Liu Ying's words, Yang Chengyan's face slowly swelled with a touch of horror.

"Salt and Iron ······"

"Captain?!"
