The Huaxia Treasury is a semi-underground structure, and under Yan Zheng's design, the land planned for this treasury is very large.

In addition, there is a museum, which also reserves a large plot of land to facilitate future reconstruction.

All the gold and silver from all over the country were brought into the treasury, and the copper was sent directly to the mint's warehouse.

Cultural relics and all kinds of works of art are put into the museum, including all kinds of inventions, all kinds of machine tools, machinery, and prototypes are left in the museum.

It is also extremely important and beneficial for the development of one's own culture to destroy other civilizations and leave their cultural relics for future generations to refer to, so that future generations can understand different literary and artistic styles.

Only by encouraging cultural diversity can we win the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and better develop our own culture.

At this moment, Yan Zheng was standing in front of the gate of the treasury, and a huge iron gate was slowly lifted through a steam hoist.

A company of soldiers loaded with guns and ammunition guarded all around.

Chen An also stood aside, his slightly shorter body trembling slightly from excitement.

As the lead-filled boxes were smashed open one by one, the gold bars inside glowed with a charming sheen in the sunlight.

Statisticians came to the court, and a handful of balances were used to weigh them, and since the molds used to melt the gold bars were also standardized, one nugget corresponded to one weight.

The average weight of each gold bar is 0.5 catties, and the total amount of gold transported back this time is about 0.7 tons.

Yan Zheng looked at these gold bars gently, and after they were weighed, they were numbered and registered.

After the gold mines in the Jinguashi area were mined, the gold reserves of Huaxia continued to increase, but at a slightly faster pace.

At present, there is still a great risk if the two yuan are abolished.

Originally, he wanted to learn from the new four jun and use the material standard, but in this era, there were no large quantities of materials that could take on the function of communicating a trade system.

Therefore, the gold standard is a journey that must be traveled, and the current process of using silver as currency is also doomed to be eliminated.

The reason is also very simple, the difference between the silver dollar and the silver tael is that the silver two transactions reflect the value of the precious metal itself, while the silver dollar has a strong monetary attribute, and the silver content is no longer a measure of the value of the silver dollar, but a kind of credit, a kind of endorsement of the regime.

After a while, the Luzon gold was counted, and the staff changed the boxes and sealed them according to the numbers, and then the soldiers carried the boxes into the treasury.

As the big iron gate was slowly lowered, Yan Zheng applauded, and everyone present also applauded.

……

"You, the governor of Luzon, are really my God of Wealth!"

Sitting in the carriage back to the red room, Yan Zheng said to Chen An on the side with a smile.

Chen An looked flattered, this is the same car as the king!

He said modestly: "Your Excellency is laughing!" It's just a matter of luck, who would have thought that Luzon would have so much gold! ”

"It's man-made!" Yan Zheng smiled: "If you don't do it, this gold won't grow legs and run into our treasury!" I heard from the report that there are at least several large gold mines around Baguio, what do you estimate the future gold production? ”

"It's hard to say, but the output of seven or eight tons a year must be there! And there is a lot of gold in the South Seas, and I can see through the trade in Manila that the South Seas have less silver and more gold, and such a simple gold and silver trade is actually not good for us! Because according to the gold-silver ratio of the Ming Dynasty, if you calculate it, Nanyang merchants are earning! ”

Yan Zheng bowed his head and said: "There is no way, we are short of gold and silver, like this!" In the future, Manila's trade will use copper coins, and you will also use copper coins to collect taxes! Let our minted copper coins circulate in large quantities, so that they can be hedged! When the time comes, they will only be able to exchange it for copper coins to use! ”

Chen An thought for a while, smiled and said, "What the king said is true!" As long as gold and silver are not linked, copper coins must be used, and we will earn as much as we earn! ”

"Mm-hmm, but you have to be careful with this move, don't be too aggressive! Luzon's economy is still too fragile and its industry is not perfect. There are too many gold mines, and they can't produce much benefit to the local area, and I will not allow this gold to flow into the market! So you still have a heavy burden to invest money and labor in the development of gold mines, and you have to ensure the development of Luzon. ”

Of course, Chen An is aware of this situation, but he is here to ask for policies, and he is busy: "So please also ask your lord to give Luzon more support, such as the construction of new farms, I hope that your lord can introduce a policy to allow more businessmen to participate!" ”

Yan Zheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "The operation mode of the new farm, in Eastern Qin, the cultivated land belongs to the state, and then hires people to farm, these tenants are considered workers, and the advantages of this are self-evident, that is, it can connect large areas of land, so that the degree of agricultural mechanization is improved, and the disadvantage is that the yield per mu is reduced!" Luzon may not be suitable for this model, I can allow you to give it a try, and let the merchants get involved, and allow them to apply for a reclamation order, and the land they will open up, and they will enjoy the right to operate it for five years, and the government will pay for it when it expires!

I don't care about the rest, but on the tenant labor, let them stop messing around! It's best to go back to Daming to recruit by yourself, if I find any people with different skin colors and appearances, who have been brought by businessmen to work as tenant laborers, then don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Chen An nodded and said, "I'll pay attention to this!" Except for the captured natives, they will not be allowed to leave the confines of the South Seas and purchase populations! ”

Yan Zheng waved his hand and said, "This has to be investigated in detail!" During my reign, I may naturally be fine, but after a few hundred years, who knows if there will be no unscrupulous descendants! Therefore, it is better to make less money and develop more slowly, but also to let the people on the land have a Chinese face! ”

Chen An also recognized this theory, and he stood in the position of governor, and was very enthusiastic about the distinction between Chinese and non-Chinese, and continued to promote this idea in Luzon.

Anyone who immigrated to Luzon would have heard of the pamphlets that preached the barbarism of the native Luzon people, and felt much less guilty about taking their land.

As he spoke, the carriage stopped in front of the red room, and Lin Yucheng stood tall and stood under a small tree on the side.

After seeing Yan Zheng, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, looking extremely respectful.

Yan Zheng said to him: "Go and rest for a while first, and when I finish talking to the governor of Luzon, I'll see you!" ”

Lin Yucheng bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”

Chen An glanced at him, and also sighed, this person was extremely stubborn, let him go to the guest house to rest, he insisted on standing in front of the red room and waiting.

……

"Do you know why you suddenly came back to report this time?" After sitting down in the red room, Yan Zheng asked with a smile,

Chen An nodded and said, "I can probably guess!" But there must be something else. ”

Yan Zheng leaned back in his chair comfortably and said: "If it is done well, Luzon will be able to rise in two years!" You already know about Nangan, I estimate that in Nangan, at least 100,000 people can be obtained, and if there are more, there may be 200,000 or 300,000! I will send these people to Luzon, they are all in one place, it is naturally easy to get together, as long as they are given a little arm, the development of Luzon in the future will be more rapid!

But this year, your burden will be very heavy, and this time I came back, mainly to explain some things to you! Ensure that this migration can be carried out smoothly, and also ensure that there will be no major risks in this process! ”

Yan Zheng handed a booklet to Chen An, and the matter above was not good to hold a meeting through the court house.

Chen An flipped through it and said, "These are all right!" I promise that these immigrants will be properly resettled, and every effort will be put to good use! ”

"There is also good news, the large-scale extraction of artemisinin has been overcome! I believe that in a few months, the factory will be built and put into production! Yan Zheng said with a smile.

This is the result of the medical team two months ago, and the extraction of artemisinin is very simple, only an organic solvent is required, even gasoline.

The whole process is feeding, adding water, distilling, oil-water separation, and obtaining artemisinin-containing essential oils.

After the sulfuric acid is put into production, the proportion of sulfuric acid can be added, so that the juice yield of Artemisia stinky is higher, and artemisinin can be extracted more easily.

And at the moment, the solvent used in Dongqin is gasoline! The source of gasoline is the shallow oil of the chicken coop, and some gasoline can be obtained by refining oil by the soil method.

A little gasoline is a fart compared to malaria!

Chen An was overjoyed and said: "This is great! In the future, when developing Luzon, there is no need to be afraid of the miasma of the rainforest! ”

Yan Zheng nodded and said: "The good news continues, and the fire cap gun is not afraid of wind and rain, this time you bring a batch back and change it for the garrison!" ”

Chen Anxin is very comfortable, and in this way, the development of the entire Luzon will be accelerated.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I think is very important!"

"What?"

"Rename Manila! Manila is a transliteration of the native, and if this continues, won't it mean that we have robbed the indigenous land? ”

Yan Zheng smiled and said, "What do you think it's called?" ”

"Please give your name!"

Yan Zheng thought about it, took out a pen and wrote down two words: "Let's call it Songzhou City!" ”
