It's also thanks to them that they remembered, otherwise the engraving printing would not be able to withstand such a large amount.

"Call your father, by the way, and Zhou Hao."

Ye Yu nodded and turned to Zhao Wanjin.

Now that they've started it, he needs to find out what the situation is now.

Seeing the smiling faces of the people and businessmen along the way, Ye Yu estimated that they should have done well.

In any case, the reform I want to carry out is based on the fact that the people can be happy.

The little people are actually very simple, they can live with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and this is enough.

Better one, it is possible to achieve your life ideals.

That's what Dingtian is aiming for.

It didn't take long for Gongsun Ce, Zhou Hao, Kong Yi, Shushu, Zhang Jian, Zhang Ye, and even Zhang Detian to come.

"Tell me what you're doing while I'm away."

Ye Yu didn't say good or bad.

"It's me who makes it my own way, guessing what you mean, and letting them do it together."

Gongsun Ce first took the possible pot on himself, "If there is something that is not done well, you can blame me." ”

After all, this is a fact, and all the ideas were put forward by him, so to blame cannot be blamed on someone else's head.

After working together during this period of time, Gongsun Ce could only sigh that the officialdom of the Southern Dynasty was not a little worse than the Jia Dynasty.

Let's not talk about the question of greed or not, everyone is trying their best to make the Southern Dynasty better.

This kind of mentality is incomparable to those corpse vegetarian guys in the Jia Dynasty.

"It's okay, I'll just listen, father-in-law, you also know, my request, in fact, as long as it can make the people happy, that's fine."

Ye Yu said with a smile.

Then they started their individual debriefings.

First of all, the Commerce Bureau successfully tested, and after two months, after the merchant was registered, not only did he deal with the problems of the merchant, but he could even collect a lot of taxes.

At the same time, the road renovation was completed, and the gun factory in Zhangye was basically completed, and a part of it was allocated to deal with rubber, which made the people's carriages in the city replace with rubber tires.

"Is the rubber enough?"

Ye Yu asked, "How is the forest in the south developed?" ”

"We have encountered some natives in the south, but according to the strategy of His Highness, to help the Lord."

Zhang Ye reported, "We will protect their holy places without touching them. Development then continued to the south. ”

"Then we went to the beach."

He added.

"I've been to see it by rail, and it's a good place to be able to build a port."

Zhao Wanjin added, "Your Highness, there is a port, in fact, you can find foreigners to do business, relying on the railway, we can quickly conduct business exchanges." ”

"This part is not in a hurry first, and it will be carried out slowly."

Ye Yu nodded, "You continue to report." ”

The Ministry of Rites and Gongsun Ling'er have jointly established an independent propaganda department headed by Gongsun Ling'er, which is responsible for releasing some official news on a regular or even daily basis.

"Yes, Ling'er, this department has been changed to a newspaper."

"Even go to the Bureau of Commerce, hire some people, write articles about the capital and even other cities, distribute it into newspapers, and sell it, and the price is calculated according to five copper coins."

Ye Yu nodded, "With movable type printing, you should be able to do it." ”

The overall reforms they carried out during this period of time were basically in line with Ye Yu's meaning.

To put it bluntly, it is to increase productivity and industrialization.

"Zhang Detian, I want to reform the part of the army, but this is a matter for later, you let the people in the military department have a psychological preparation first."

"Your Ministers obey."

After that, Ye Yu asked everyone except Zhao Wanjin, Gongsun Ce, and Zhang Ye to rest.

Ye Yu is very satisfied with the current state of development, and they can be a little more relaxed and follow this mode for the time being.

After all, I still can't be in a hurry.

"Zhao Wanjin, you have to work hard during this time."

Ye Yu spoke, "It's summer now, and when it's autumn and winter, I need you to record the yield of the farmland around the entire capital." Then the permanent population of the entire capital must be recorded. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit hard. ”

Zhao Wanjin frowned slightly and shook his head slightly.

"Let Zhang Jian do it, you and Zhang Jian will do this together."

"I need to know the population and the production of agricultural products in the entire capital. Without this foundation, I can't do it. There is still a period of time before autumn and winter, and you should think of countermeasures first, and you can't think of looking for me. ”

Ye Yu said and asked him to go down and rest as well.

"Father-in-law, your Commerce Bureau is not short of money?"

"I basically have enough money on my own, and I didn't expect it to be so convenient."

Gongsun Ce said and smiled, "Now there are about eight million taels of silver in the Bureau of Commerce, which is used for daily maintenance, and the tax next month can be about 1.8 million taels." ”

It's a simple capital, a month's tax!

Of course, Ye Yu didn't expect to make so much money.

"Okay, let's follow your model first, the main thing is to be public, and you can use more secret guards."

Ye Yu nodded and turned to Zhang Ye, "It's your turn, your affairs here are all confidential, it's time to talk about it." ”

"Your Highness, the warlock has come up with gunpowder that can explode on impact, but there are still many technical problems to be solved."

"Railway technology has matured a lot."

"The gun factory has been able to produce muskets steadily."

Zhang Ye reported.

"Discontinued."

Ye Yu spoke slowly, "Factories don't need to produce such obsolete things. The musket and artillery were all discontinued, and then the problems of the common people were solved first, and things like farm tools, new carriages, and tires were given priority. ”

"Then we've stockpiled ...... equipment now."

Zhang Ye was a little scared, and some worry appeared on his face.

"How much gear are you stocking up on now?"

"Four thousand guns, eight hundred thousand ammunition, six artillery pieces, eighteen rounds of ammunition."

Zhang Ye reported truthfully.

"Everything will be given to Yang Jiang, part of it will be used as supplies, and at the same time let him establish a third regiment."

Ye Yu spoke, "Select from the border line and other garrison troops, these people must be reviewed. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Ye nodded and said, "Then our weapons ......?"

"Don't worry, this batch of weapons is just a transition, and we will continue when the warlock's gunpowder is improved."

Ye Yu nodded and said, "I will write a letter to Yang Jiang later, and send it to him as soon as possible." ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Ye nodded.

The location of Yang Jiang's troops was only known to Zhang Ye's secret guards and Ye Yu.

The rest, no army, not even the military department, does not know.

Then Ye Yu quickly began to write letters.

"Yang Jiang, I will send you all the weapons and equipment produced in the factory now."

"In addition to supplying soldiers, a third regiment will be formed, and the three regiments will form a divisional establishment, and the division level will have a guard company directly under it, as well as a reconnaissance company."

"These equipment are used for training, and after all of them are used up, your troops will withdraw from the mountains and go to Xishan Prefecture."

"For the time being, change the number of your unit to an engineer corps, and start going to Xishan Prefecture in the winter of four months to join me."

After writing the letter, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
