The next day, the main people in the county knew the news, and everyone was rejoicing, although it was only a county order, but the significance was great! It has been officially recognized by the imperial court, that is, it has been completely whitewashed from the anti-thief!

Gongsun Du's favor is really big, Zhuang Shaoyou is very moved, and everyone in the county is also very happy, two local forces in the same place can live in peace and are so harmonious, although there is a marriage, but there is no such a solid alliance, Gongsun is so courageous! It was able to tear the soil and give it away! Admire!

Zhuang Shaoyou hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Luo Yu in Beifeng, and soon Luo Yu also knew the news, but he was not dissatisfied at all because of the reduction of his official position, but was very happy, because in this way he could justifiably do things under General Zhuang, and what is the difference between the county magistrate and the county magistrate?

Beifeng County is a small county, the county is less than 4,000 people, smaller than the original Yudi, but the location is important, now the two counties have merged into a large county, with a large population, these are secondary, the most important thing is to follow the general to have a head!

On the 10th day of the first lunar month, just after the Lantern Festival, the new year's work began.

First of all, the financial summary, from the month of the lunar month to the first month of the New Year is the time of the Chinese New Year, the reward to the officials, scribes, generals and soldiers spent 8 million yuan, 8,000 soldiers on land and water 1,000 yuan each, the county government and more than 100 office clerks in each town 5,000 yuan each, the core officials and generals of the administrative department 50,000 yuan each, a total of about one million yuan; A total of 2 million yuan was spent on various activities for the New Year, and 11 million yuan was spent on the New Year.

The second is the issue of starting the construction of Beifeng County, after Luo Yu returned to Beifeng City a few years ago, he immediately began to prepare, and after the New Year, he has submitted the various indices of the original Beifeng County, as well as the content that the general may be interested in according to the routine.

There are more than 2,200 households and more than 5,300 households in Beifeng County (excluding Bay Town), mainly living in the county seat and Santai Town on the west coast. Beifeng County is rich in products, there are three main kinds, the first is salt, the merchant ships of the river have long purchased salt here and sold it to the grassland and near Xiangping, half of the salt in Liaodong County is produced in Beifeng County!

The second is clay, Santai Town in the west of Beifeng County is the clay production area, and most of the local people are engaged in clay mining and ceramic production.

The third kind of silkworm, the mountain in the north of the county perennial breeding silkworm, divided into spring silkworm and autumn silkworm two seasons, but because of the primitive process, coupled with the great influence of the climate, so the output has not been high, not as large-scale development as ceramics.

In addition to the above-mentioned specialties, Beifeng County also has a specialty, horse farms! There are many mountains and grasslands in Beifeng County, the grass and trees are flourishing, the water and grass are abundant, and there are some characteristics of the grassland, so a small-scale horse farm has been formed in Beifeng County, but the yield is not high, after all, the food consumption of horses in the winter is a big problem that restricts horse breeding, and how can people have leisure to raise horses when they are not full?

Zhuang Shaoyou received the book report submitted by Luo Yu, and was immediately overjoyed, this Beifeng is simply a cornucopia for himself! Originally, I was worried about the scarcity of products, and it was difficult to develop too many industries, but now it's good!

Zhuang Shaoyou was excited and convened everyone to hold the first plenary meeting of the new year to discuss the development plan for the new year.

The most important thing is to make every effort to build Beifeng and build Beifeng into the largest production base in southern Liaoning!

Everyone naturally agrees with this, anyway, in business, General Zhuang proposed that everyone implement it, and they can understand it, but they can't understand it by rote. Anyway, listen to the general, that's right.

Zhuang Shaoyou has officially become the county commander of southern Liaoning appointed by the imperial court, but everyone still calls him a general, firstly, because he is used to it, so he is called smooth, and secondly, he feels that it is too cheap to call the county magistrate! Although it is also a Baishi-level official, it is useless, it is not as grand as the general's shouting!

The second thing is the plan for the new year, the focus is still on business and urban construction, as for the issue of army expansion raised by Tai Shici and others, it is estimated that there will be no major war in the future, so there is no need to expand the army, but the equipment of the existing army must be replaced!

After several months of research, Mo Qiao and Mo Tie have improved the existing weapons and are in mass production, and it is expected that they will start to be distributed to the army in two or three months, so Tai Shici and other generals are a little comforted.

The third thing is the issuance of new coins, which is still a cold winter, so foreign trade and past merchants are basically at a standstill, so the new coins are scheduled to be issued on the day of the second dragon in early February.

The previous year's surplus of 1,700 catties of gold, 10 million catties of gold, and 20,000 catties of silver were stored up to be minted in new coins at a later date.

Regarding the financial budget for the new year, Zhuang Shaoyou directly typeset 1,000 catties of gold and 10 million yuan for the construction of Beifeng, and at the same time sent refugees recruited from Qingzhou and Jizhou to settle in Beifeng County, focusing on the development of sea salt, pottery and sericulture.

Finally, it is planned to build a new wharf ten miles west of Bay Town in the south of Beifeng County for loading and unloading goods, which is fifty miles away from Beifeng County, ten miles away from the clay producing area of Santai Town in the northwest, and forty miles away from the salt field in the west, which is a more suitable distance.

Although Santai Town itself is near the sea, the bay channel in the west is complex and inconvenient, and it is far away from the silkworm production area in the north of the county, and the transportation is inconvenient, so the location of the wharf is finally set in Bay Town, where the waterway is more developed and convenient.

The rest of the money is used to renew the manufacture of new armaments, which will be another huge expense!

After the meeting, everyone went about their work.

…………

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head

On this day, a significant event happened in Liaonan County, the issuance of new coins! After careful deliberation by everyone, it was finally decided that Zhou Tian would promote the Singapore dollar in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhou Tian first invited many important figures of the Chamber of Commerce to drink tea at home, and everyone was naturally happy, and Zhou Tian saw that everyone was basically there, so he said loudly: "Everyone, I called everyone here today, I have something important to ask for!" ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly replied: "President Zhou's business is our business, and it is our honor to serve President Zhou!" ”

"That's right! President Zhou, just open your mouth! ”

Seeing this, Zhou Tian smiled and said, "Since you are so enthusiastic, you are not welcome!" I might as well tell you that I was entrusted by the general to handle a major event! New Currency Issued! This matter is very important, and please be sure to keep it confidential! After all, this is a great rebellion! ”

There was an uproar when everyone boarded, issuing new coins? Is it really this far? Ay! Looks like I'm bleeding a lot today! It turns out that it is not exempt from vulgarity!

In this era, the powerful families in various places minted money privately in the territory under their control, and then forcibly exchanged it to merchants in their jurisdiction and then circulated it, but this kind of money was often of poor quality and difficult to circulate, so it was often the merchants who lost.

I thought that President Zhou had summoned everyone here today to have something good, but I didn't expect it to be like this, unlucky! But I can only endure it, after all, I made a lot of money last year, so let's make some blood! As long as General Zhuang can cover it, he will always be able to earn it back in the future!

Zhou Tian had expected everyone's reaction, which was understandable, and if he changed his thoughts without knowing it, he would definitely have some resistance, so he smiled, waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet and said slowly: "You don't have to worry, this new currency issuance is different from other places, and it will definitely not cause everyone to lose anything, but may make a lot of money!" Come! Bring up the new coins! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, eight strong men came in from outside the door, carrying four large boxes.

Zhou Tian walked to the side of a big box, the strong man quickly opened the box, Zhou Tian signaled the strong man to send a copper coin to everyone present, and then he also picked up a copper coin and announced loudly: "You have all seen it, this is the new copper coin we want to issue, this world is a treasure!" Twenty-five baht! Absolutely genuine! There is another one, the world's Jinbao! Each piece weighs half a catty! It's made of pure gold, if you don't believe it, you can go back and try it! ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly boiled, what kind of money is this? The world's treasure? Jinbao in the world? What a domineering name, it's just a rebellion! But I like it! It's so sinking! It seems to be true, even if there is moisture, the water will not go anywhere!

Our General Zhuang is really courageous! How dare you print such money? And this Jinbao, it's so beautiful! If you look at the four big characters of Jinbao in the world, it makes people feel excited, as if they see the gold rolling in the world! And this flower printed on the back is really chic! I like it! I've touched the gold for so many years, and these two pieces are definitely one catty, and they are exactly the same! My hands are the scales!

Zhou Tian looked at everyone with a smile and stopped talking, these spirits are all old fritters who have been working in the mall for decades, and the key to this will be seen clearly immediately! Sure enough, as Zhou Tian expected, some of those businessmen quickly reacted and asked, "President Zhou, how many of these new coins will be issued this time?" How is the exchange method? ”

Zhou Tian smiled slightly: "This time, I will first issue five million Tianxia Tongbao and 1,000 Tianxia Jinbao, mainly to try to see how the effect is, if the effect is good, there will be additional issuance of new coins every month in the future!" As for the exchange ratio, you might as well guess! ”

Zhou Tian is a businessman, and he knows the most about hanging people's appetites, so he made such a play, and when those businessmen heard it, they began to ask tentatively:

"Jinbao is very easy to calculate, a pound of gold is exchanged for 10,000 yuan, that one Jinbao is half a catty, naturally it is 5,000 yuan, this Jinbao is so beautifully cast, it can naturally be slightly higher, 5,500 yuan is about the same! As for this treasure, it is more difficult to guess, it is said that the twenty-five baht copper coin should be worth five five baht coins, but now the quality of this five baht coin is very poor, it has become four coins or even three baht coins! Well, this world should be able to exchange seven or eight old coins! ”

The surrounding merchants all nodded their heads, as if they agreed with the man's statement.

Zhou Tian shook his head and said, "Definitely! Definitely! In this world, Tongbao and old money are exchanged for five! The world's gold treasure and old money are exchanged for 5,000! That is, one gold treasure in the world is exchanged for a thousand treasures in the world! Have you ever been satisfied? ”

"What!? That's impossible! It's a big loss! ”

Zhou Tian smiled: "Do you think that I, Zhou, will lie to you?" Could it be that General Zhuang will lie to you? Of course, this exchange is to exchange the common five baht coins of acceptable quality on the market, not those shoddy and rotten goods! Alright, let's start redeeming! Come one by one, don't worry, everyone has a limit! Make sure everyone here has a part! ”
