Chapter 284: Xiping Hou Muchun

Mu Chun was also a little moved in his heart, although Feng Cheng had simply told him He Qiu's plan before, but Feng Cheng was clumsy, how could he compare to He Qiu's encouragement.

So Mu Chun stood behind the crowd, pushed away these generals in front, and walked straight to He Qiu and asked loudly.

"Then what should be done in the opinion of Liangxianghou for this first step?"

These generals have come to their senses, haven't they?

Although He Qiu also said that there is a mine underground and wants everyone to open a mine, this mining has never been a simple matter.

There is a lot of manpower needed, even with the Tusi in Yunnan today, there are not so many idle people to open mines.

He Qiu looked at Mu Chun intently, a little puzzled who this person was, and Tang Zhao on the side hurriedly introduced him.

"This is Xiping Hou Muchun."

He Qiu suddenly realized, smiled and gestured to Mu Chun, and then spoke.

"It's not too difficult to open a mine, I heard that there are talents in Yunnan who know how to smelt, right?"

Mu Chun nodded, when Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to attack the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty forces in Yunnan, he made up his mind to make the military households and immigrants who settled in Yunnan self-sufficient, so there were still many craftsmen with a good level of distribution.

Some of them also know how to cast fire guns, which in the Ming Dynasty, but it was a high-end job, and people who didn't have some skills couldn't take it.

But Mu Chun also has his own words.

"Of course you're right, but everyone knows that it's easy to open a mine, but it's hard to get it out. I heard Ying Guogong say that you gave two ways, one is to dig the Jinsha River waterway, and the other is to find out the seakou, but this actual operation is not said! ”

Mu Chun has his own plan in his heart, in his opinion, there is actually only one of the two roads He Qiu said, digging and repairing the Jinsha River waterway.

Estuary or something, in Mu Chun's view, it is a lie, Yunnan is located inland, if you want to see the sea, I am afraid that you have to destroy Annan, but even if you destroy Annan, you still have to take the land route on this way, and most of them are mountain roads.

In this case, imagine that he said, find an outlet to the sea and transport copper ore more cheaply, it is simply a dream.

He Qiu seemed to have a good idea, and when he heard Mu Chun's questioning, he blurted out.

"It is enough to build the Jinshan River waterway, and this waterway does not need to be paid by Yunnan itself, just ask the imperial court to pay for it."

Mu Chun's brows furrowed violently, and he asked.

"The court pays for it? Does the imperial court have so much silver? Even if there is so much silver, will it really be invested in Yunnan? ”

He Qiu smiled and said with some pride.

"I'm afraid that the Marquis of Xiping has not been in contact with the imperial court for a long time, and I don't know some major events in the court, this year the Beiping Metropolitan Division, the Daning Imperial Division, and the Liaodong Imperial Division alone can pay five or six million taxes to the imperial court.

Because of the new policy, other provinces paid a lot more taxes than in the past, so the imperial court could give the money for the construction of waterways. ”

"There is only another question from Xipinghou," He Qiu said with a reserved smile, "It seems that Xipinghou still doesn't know enough about the 'money shortage' in the court!" ”

"I can only say that once the imperial court knows that there is such a large-scale open-pit copper mine in Yunnan, it will definitely take the initiative to build the Jinsha River waterway."

Mu Chun saw that He Qiu was talking so much, and he was a little curious about the current situation in the court, could it be that the imperial court was really short of money to this extent?

In fact, you don't need to look at anything else, why did Zhu Yuanzhang send so many treasure notes in a row, and from time to time he gathered some spices or something to send to hundreds of officials as a gift, isn't it because he has no money in his hand!

Mu Chun took a deep breath and said.

"Then I don't have any problems now, but please come to my house tonight and explain how to operate it thoroughly, and now I won't bother you."

After that, Mu Chun simply left the inn neatly, leaving these stunned generals.

Seeing that these generals had some slight riots after Mu Chun left, He Qiu also had to raise his voice and say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the life of our soldiers in Yunnan is not easy, and now that there is such a large copper mine here, with development value, the imperial court will definitely not abandon the big guy."

"As long as the people sent by General Tang to explore Dongchuan come back, everyone can write together and ask the imperial court to build a waterway, which has achieved the purpose of communicating the Central Plains and Yunnan."

After finishing speaking, these generals left one after another, and He Qiu took the time to drink a glass of water and talk to this group of big bosses for almost an afternoon, and He Qiu's throat was almost dry.

didn't care about any manners, He Qiu picked up a pot of herbal tea from Chen Siwei's hand and poured it down.

"Hiccup......

"Comfortable!"

He Qiu squinted his eyes a little pleasantly, and Tang Zhao on the side was a little anxious, and asked Feng Cheng.

"What kind of attitude does Mu Chun have, does he support mining or not?"

Feng Cheng could only smile bitterly.

"This ...... I think he is moved, but whether he has the courage to write to the court depends on tonight. ”

Tang Zhao suddenly lost his spirit and muttered.

"It's really a balloon, if I were from Shizhen Yunnan, I would definitely agree to it, why is there so much to do in this Muchun!"

He Qiu opened his eyes and laughed.

"Isn't it because I know that you have such a temperament that I didn't let you live in Yunnan?"

Then he comforted.

"It's okay, since he is moved, I have the confidence that I can convince him, and I don't want future generations to suffer like him in Yunnan, right?"

"If the matter of opening the mine can be decided one day earlier, and the waterway can be repaired one day earlier, Yunnan will become prosperous in the future one day sooner."

He Qiu's words said that Feng Cheng's heart had gone up, especially since he was already planning to take root in Yunnan, who didn't want to live in a more prosperous place?

So Feng Cheng looked at He Qiu expectantly and said.

"Tonight is going to depend on the good country."

In the evening, Tang Zhao and Feng Cheng led He Qiu to the Xiping Marquis Mansion and entered the mansion, Mu Chun had already arranged everything properly.

A few people just had a few drinks and then turned the conversation back to business.

Mu Chun asked directly.

"Good fellow, what you said in the inn this afternoon is not very detailed, so there are only four of us, can you make this matter clear, so that we can know what to do."

He Qiu must be in his heart, it seems that Mu Chun has made up his mind to open a mine and repair the waterway.

He Qiu put down his chopsticks and began to slowly dissect Mu Chun's practices.

To put it bluntly, He Qiu's plan is not difficult to complete, and once the big mine is determined, let the low-level officers in Yunnan know how much benefit they can gain from it.

With this, the entire Yunnan Corps can be twisted into a ball, and to put it bluntly, it is a matter of interest distribution.

Let Mu Chun, the nobles and senior generals, eat meat, and at the same time, they also distribute some soup to the low-level soldiers and toasters.
