After arranging a few more days of work in the bamboo trench, Yan Zheng returned to Yangang, and almost a month had passed by this time.

The first thing Yan Zheng did when he returned to Yangang was to inspect the first shipyard and found that a second dry dock was being built, and the barges had also completed the laying of the keel and were riveting the iron ribs.

The imaginary situation of throwing rivets did not appear, and there were lifting pulleys made of gears around the frame, and the rivets were quickly passed up through this pulley.

The riveting workers' understanding of riveting is limited to smashing it tightly, and individual excellent masters can really feel a little way.

After Yan Zheng asked for a while, he told all shipbuilders: be good at finding and solving problems, don't avoid problems, we are still in the initial stage, it is normal to have problems, and avoiding medical treatment will really kill people, even if it is a general medicine for scraping bones and healing wounds, as long as it can solve the problem, we must dare to use it!

Such an exhortation made the craftsmen present nod their heads frequently in recognition, and they all deepened their understanding of the shipbuilding industry, and their thoughts and attitudes were also more upright.

After that, Yan Zheng inspected the education work in the quarantine area, and after learning that there were already 29 children's teachers, he was very satisfied that Dongfan's talent policy has always been eclectic!

If you have the ability, you will be given money and a house! All those who are willing to come here to study in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are willing to change their thinking, the future is also great!

This made these shaved boys also excited, they came to Dongfan, but the idea of the official position has not been reversed, and they are flattering one by one, most of them are to be able to become an official.

When Yan Zheng left, he packed up Qiu Ruicai, who was good at mathematics, and the children of the other six mathematics clubs, and prepared to completely place these talents in Mocheng, so that they could receive education while teaching.

Meadow, golden is November.

When Yan Zheng returned to Mocheng, he found that the second crop of rice planted had already shown a little bit of ripe golden yellow.

It is estimated that if you bask in the sun for a few more days, you will be able to see the scene of the wind blowing the rice waves full of gold.

This kind of scene is very gratifying, and both the aborigines and the Ming people love this kind of harvest moment.

As for Yan Zheng's long trip, the people were not as worried as they were at the beginning.

They are now divided into separate households, and they all have their own fields to take care of.

Therefore, many people are worried, but they still have to focus on their own family farm work first.

This is a good phenomenon, because the relationship between the people and the administrators should be like this!

Managers act as leaders and set reasonable policies so that the people can live a good life, and the people will naturally rely on and support the managers in the process.

In the past dynasties of China, how many praises of merit and virtue, how many Confucian scholars and doctors used etiquette to explain that the Son of Heaven is "the emperor who carries the emperor in heaven", which is nothing more than an explanation, the reason why the emperor is the emperor is because he was born to be the emperor, and with the emperor the country can be regarded as complete, and only then can there be three outlines and five constants.

But what? The rise and fall of dynasties, even in the prosperous times, the emperor is not so popular with the people, many people don't even know that the emperor is in power today, they only know that there is an imperial grain and national tax. No matter what emperor is in power, collect their taxes!

Yan Zheng doesn't like this kind of situation where the country doesn't know that there are people, and the people don't know that there is a country. Therefore, he has always aspired to establish a set of values that are different from Confucian etiquette and a set of systems that are different from feudal dynasties.

On this trip, in addition to prospecting, he also made an appearance in the actual control area, so that these people could understand that their leader was himself.

If there were telegrams and broadcasts, he would probably have to go to the radio once in a while to give a speech, to declare his existence, to reaffirm his commitments.

While letting the people know that they exist, it also reassures them and makes the officials dare not relax.

……

After returning to the Red Room, he began to take a bath after a long journey.

Soak in the bath while reading the backlog of letters these days.

He read one and asked about it, and most of the letters came from factories and villages.

"Dagang Township has set up a production department?" He wondered.

Lan Ya on the side nodded and said: "It was established more than 20 days ago, saying that the oil extraction workshop has a good income, and by the way, a production department was established, and I am going to let a special person take charge of this part, and I am also going to buy beans in other places."

"What do they do for beans? And they don't have other products, take soybean oil? Yan Zheng asked.

Lan Ya couldn't help but smile and said: "They opened an oil extraction service, saying that it is the villagers of the surrounding villages, who go to them to extract oil, the oil yield is higher, the oil output is better, and they only accept bean cakes as a reward afterwards!" They bought beans with bean cakes and oil, and sometimes sackcloth, which is now commonly used in exchange for goods around Meaux. ”

"They're shrewd!" This is the use of technological advantages, which makes Yan Zheng quite speechless.

He sighed helplessly, he has not yet set up a company in charge of grain and oil, and now he only has a supply and marketing station, which is responsible for the circulation of commodities and goods.

According to estimates, the per capita grain storage in Mocheng is generally about eight months, that is, the time of two crops of rice.

In addition to this, their grain and beans, in addition to feeding the livestock, are exchanged for various commodities.

In other words, the group of people in Dagang Township are taking advantage of the loopholes in the policy to dig into the corners of Mocheng.

Although Yan Zheng also handed a shovel to help them when they dug the corner, he also wanted to see what they could toss.

"What about people's livelihood? They're not going to just make money from research, are they? ”

Lan Ya couldn't help laughing and said, "Making money is for the people's livelihood!" Now their slogans have changed, what is the good use of taxes, everyone has to be good! ”

"Oh, so what have they done to improve people's livelihoods?"

"Their township, this time they accepted more than 700 disaster victims, did not let Mocheng give them those cultivated fields, and also set up a sanatorium, collected more than a dozen disabled people, and more than a dozen helpless women and old people, and asked them to help with shoe soles and rattan hats."

Yan Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's better to be close to the bottom, so I thought of it more thoughtfully!" Forget it, their oil mill, let them do it first! ”

"So now on the market, most of them use linen as hard currency? It is to take sackcloth as an intermediary of exchange! He asked again.

Lan Ya nodded: "There are still some such things, such as shells, as well as strange stones, pheasant feathers, those deep mountain tribes, but from time to time get some golden sand, in the deep mountains, golden gold seems to have become the hard currency you said!"

Yan Zheng was silent for a while, feeling that it was time to issue his own currency.

Anyway, the source of copper material is there, as long as it is the same as Daming, some copper coins can be issued.

The silver dollar can be slowed down, after all, the Ming Dynasty did not abolish the two yuan, and in the case of poor strength, silver bars are the common currency of transactions with the Ming Dynasty.

"Lan Ya, pen and paper are waiting!"

After making up his mind, Yan Zheng lay on the edge of the bathtub and wrote the first coinage order of Dongfan.

It begins with a description of the role of money, and then announces the establishment of the First Mint, with each village recruiting one person as a worker.

At the same time, it was also decreed that in the future, copper, gold, silver, and other metal objects would not be allowed to circulate on Dongfan Island.

As for the anchor, this thing only needs to be paid attention to when playing with banknotes.

The only thing to worry about is the massive amount of copper coins in the Ming Dynasty, which will go to Dongfan to cash out the materials.

Therefore, in terms of specifications, it must not be equated with Daming copper coins, or even better than Daming copper coins.

After writing for a while, he brushed down a note and asked Lan Ya to hand it to Ashin, who then handed it over to Yangang.

The content on the strip is that after Tian Wu comes back, he will go to Zhangzhou again to exchange a batch of copper coins on the Ming market.
