The mountains, rivers and rivers were the first to start with King Zhou Li, belonging to the country, prohibiting the countrymen from picking wood and fishing, what happened to him, everyone knows.

Later, the society developed, and the ownership of mountains, rivers and rivers was also more strict, among which the Qin State was the most stringent, and when it came to the time of the Great Qian, there were regulations when the Great Qian was established, but later Emperor Wen released part of it.

During the period of Emperor Wu, some of them were liberalized, and the people were completely unrestricted from fishing, wood-mining, medicine-gathering, and gathering, but there was no clarity in the mining of minerals.

This time, the raider found that Xungui actually had such a large silver mine in his hands, who can guarantee that there is no silver mine or other minerals in the hands of other Xungui? After all, it is impossible for the imperial court to extend its tentacles to every corner.

Now the imperial court can control the county seat, and some towns can also be controlled by retired soldiers. But for example, mountainous areas and some remote areas with inconvenient roads are not able to control it. And many counties are not completely controlled.

The imperial court wants to control all the minerals in its hands, which is very difficult, even if it is forcibly implemented, it is estimated that in the end it will have little effect, and more importantly, the minerals are in the mountains, and they need to be found and excavated by themselves. The imperial court had no strength to find and develop those minerals.

Therefore, the wealth in the mountains, rivers and rivers can only be done in cooperation with the nobles, the powerful and the officials. Of course, cooperation should also be based on the imperial court.

Don't think it's less, with the current prestige of the imperial court, those who dare to oppose it will be exiled directly. As for the division, Wang Xin thinks that twenty-eight or thirty-seven is fine. Of course, the imperial court accounts for seventy percent, and those nobles, heroes, and officials account for thirty percent.

Think less? Smack, a slap in the face, it really gives you face.

Don't want to do it? There are more people who are willing to do it, and some people can't line up if they want to do it!

The matter of the official Shanchuan Heze was handed over to the imperial court and Dr. Legalist to discuss, and then submitted to Wang Xin after the discussion was completed, waiting for Wang Xin to decide.

Wang Xin is dealing with the financial problems of the imperial court, since the imperial court minted silver coins, the imperial court's income has soared in recent years, and the annual income of the imperial court minting silver coins is about 5 million guan, and this year it may reach more than 10 million guan.

The main reason for such a high increase is that the mint of the imperial court has not been running at full capacity in the past, but this time with the Nanyang silver mine, the silver output has risen several steps. Naturally, the imperial court minted more silver dollars.

In addition to minting silver coins, the number of copper coins minted by the imperial court has stabilized over the years. Since the advent of silver coins, the number of copper coins minted has been declining and has now stabilized.

This is because with better silver coins, copper coins are no longer collected in the cellars by the nobles, the powerful, and the wealthy.

Large quantities of copper coins were taken out of their cellars and exchanged for silver dollars. In the past, there was a shortage of copper coins, and one of the important reasons was that the nobles, the powerful, and the rich hid the copper coins, or buried them directly.

Another reason is the outflow of copper coins.

The copper coins and silver coins minted by Daqian were also very popular in the surrounding countries. Except for the feudal countries with the support of the Great Cadres, the other barbarian states simply did not have the technology to mint qualified coins.

Copper coin casting looks simple, and even many nobles and heroes in the Great Qian Kingdom have the technology to cast copper coins, but those barbarian countries can't do it.

In the real history, until the Song and Ming dynasties, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and other countries, the casting technology of copper coins was not up to standard. The copper coins minted are of poor quality, light weight, blurred handwriting, and easy to be damaged, not to mention the nobles of these countries, even the people at the bottom are disgusted.

Copper coins need to be circulated frequently, and poor quality copper coins are easy to be damaged. These countries often transported the copper coins of the Central Plains court back for use. The Central Plains Imperial Court issued a decree not to allow copper coins to be taken out of the country.

The Great Qian court did not have a decree prohibiting copper coins from being taken out of the country. Therefore, over the years, the copper coins minted by the imperial court have also circulated in Fanguo.

The weight difference of the copper coins minted by Daqian is very small, the handwriting is clear, the quality is good, it is not easy to rust, and it is easy to circulate and trade, so many small countries in the Western Regions also like to use it.

As for the silver dollar, these countries were more welcome, and they were more popular than copper coins.

Every year, the caravans from the Western Regions that go to the Central Plains to trade are very fond of silver dollars, and when they leave, they will take some silver dollars with them. Wang Xin received a report from the kings of the Western Regions that the price of silver dollars in the Western Regions was thirty percent higher than that of the Central Plains.

Every year, the imperial court would reward several feudal states in the Western Regions with some silver dollars.

Regarding the use of large copper coins and silver dollars in Fanguo, the royal family felt that it was a good thing. In this way, it is equivalent to the imperial court controlling a part of the economy of these countries.

Although the economy of this era was not very developed, and the role of economic warfare was not as great as that of later generations, the use of Daqian's coins was also imperceptibly promoting Zhuxia culture, which was conducive to allowing these Fanguo countries to accept the rule of Daqian.

Promoting the use of large copper coins and silver dollars can also facilitate trade and promote the development of commerce and trade, and the imperial court can completely use copper coins and silver dollars to buy materials from Fanguo and achieve economic colonization.

Of course, when it comes to discussion, the difficulty of this operation is still a bit high, after all, the traffic in this era is too difficult, and the impact is only partial.

Similarly, there is the problem of copper and silver outflow. Although the amount of copper and silver that flows out every year is not very large, the amount accumulated over time is also extremely staggering.

Therefore, after some deliberation, the royal family felt that it was worthwhile to promote the circulation of Daqian currency, but in order to make up for the loss of copper and silver, merchants who went to Daqian to trade had to carry a part of copper and silver to sell as commodities.

In the same way, when the caravans went to other countries to trade, they also had to carry a portion of copper and silver with them when they returned. The exact amount was determined by those members of the royal family who mainly studied economics.

With these copper and silver materials, the problem of copper and silver loss in the imperial court can also be solved.

Of course, the royal family did not count on the copper and silver problems to be the ones that the caravan would come later. Thanks to the books left by Zijue, the royal family knows that the world is very big, and even knows the general situation of many overseas regions and the West, Europe, Africa, America, and Oceania.

Among them, the Fuso Islands to the east of the sea are naturally clear. In addition, those books also marked that the Fuso Islands are rich in gold, silver, copper and other precious metals, and even told future generations that the largest silver mine in the East is on this archipelago.

It is also for this reason that the royal family has always supported the development of sea vessels. In addition to being used to transport supplies and troops, another reason is to occupy the eastern Fuso Islands.

As long as the Fuso Islands are occupied, the silver mines on them are enough for the imperial court to last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
