Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty Chapter 790: Crying poor

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!

It's a hazy white and vast expanse, and there is fog everywhere, and I can't see where it is, but it seems very familiar here.

An old woman in ragged clothes appeared in front of her, walking slowly in front of her, staggering.

Then Luo Mengzi's round head appeared in front of him, looked at himself with trusting eyes and said: Brother, for your ambition, brother will follow you!

Suddenly, the faces of two people were covered with blood!

Guo Shao woke up abruptly, and again found a strange young lady lying beside her. The scar on the corner of her left eye and the position of her cheekbones quickly reminded Guo Shao of who it was. He felt a little difficult to breathe. When looking back around, he saw red candles swaying, Lingluo's drapery hanging down and beautifully decorated, and the red silk quilt looked like richness.

"Your Majesty, your hands are shaking." Yu Qing also woke up.

Guo Shao took a deep breath and stopped the Shinto: "It's okay, it's just a nightmare."

Yuqing looked at him suspiciously. Guo Shao pretended to be calm and said: "There are too many killings with soldiers in war, and occasionally it is inevitable to come to me in dreams."

But Guo Shao can't sleep anymore... his ministers often praise him as the lord, but Guo Shao knows that he is not very good in his mental quality, lacking some kind of open-mindedness or the ruthlessness of the king . For example, Xiaoxiong Cao Cao said, "I would rather take the world's people, not the world's people", and in a blink of an eye you can kill him because of a little suspicion. These Guo Shao couldn't do without pressure at all.

In the early morning, he got up early to change clothes and hurried to Jinxiang Palace. Because today is the "three-day dynasty", the West Hall is discussing the political affairs.

Guo Shao didn't sleep well, and his head was a little dizzy, most obviously because his eyes were heavy. However, he was able to deal with it calmly in the Hall of Discussion, and the two dozen people who came were all familiar ministers.

Today's topic is crying poor. The Ministry of Industry rushed to repair the river embankment before the flood season of the Yellow River, and was short of money; the Ministry of Defense transferred food and cloth from various places to the imperial army and the guard army. It believed that this method was very costly and the supervision process was very difficult. The Ministry of Households suggested that gold, silver, copper coins, and silk should be taken out of the imperial treasury to make up for the deficit in the national treasury.

Guo Shao didn't conceal it, and said: "Neiku has no money."

Prime Minister Fan couldn't help but repeat the old saying. First, he said that repairing the Yellow River is a serious matter, which is directly related to the safety of the people in Gyeonggi and countless states and counties. Then he mentioned that he saw forbidden soldiers drinking flowers and wine and visiting the kiln on the street.

"Generals, you should really go out of the capital, and see the people, what are the lives of the people, what are the lives of the sergeants..."

Shi Yanchao said coldly: "Fan Xianggong, this is when you only see people eating meat, but you don't see people desperately. Why can't Fan Xianggong not be in front of the battlefield to see what it looks like?"

On this issue, Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao did not have any disagreements. Li Chuyun said indifferently at the moment: "The minister followed His Majesty’s class and teacher back to the court, and he had nothing to do, he really walked around.

Just five or six days ago, the minister saw an old man doing coolies by the Yellow River. Seeing that his old age was weak, he asked him why he didn't let the young and strong at home come to serve. How did the public think he answered? "

Everyone kept silent, waiting for Li Chuyun to say.

Li Chuyun said: "The old man said, "When you are old, the eldest son is only twelve or thirteen years old and can't bear the suffering of Xiuhe; but the Yinshi family paid to bribe the county officials, and the county officials had to ask them for this. Kind of poor."

Fan Zhi was furious after hearing this, and said: "General Li asked which county and which official received the money? The official must personally interrogate this matter and punish it severely!"

Li Chuyun said: "Fan Gong thinks that punishing a small official can change the state of government officials' greed for money and common people?"

Shi Yanchao smiled and said: "This is a good point. The brothers have followed the official to die for a lifetime, and receive the royal food that is upright and bright. It is better than the people who secretly fish and meat come clean!"

Guo Shao got a little impatient after listening for a long time. The minting at the Ministry of Households basically uses grain, copper mines, etc. in exchange for copper money, which is also a loss-making transaction; this is nothing, anyway, the taxation materials in various places are relatively abundant. But now the coins minted are completely inadequate, and the copper money spent by the treasury is transported by cars, and the demand is too great.

He can't change money either. I also realized that the advantages of centralizing power and the strategy of strong and weak branches outweigh the disadvantages, but once the old rules of the military system are changed, all aspects will be affected, and there will be many problems in implementation.

Since the imperial power and the imperial dictatorship are very powerful, is it okay not to pay for the national fiscal expenditure? Of course not, because now it is not a slave society, and we cannot forcefully plunder and enslav people in various industries for free, otherwise society will regress. The court officials have to spend money to do things.

The ministers couldn't argue for right or wrong, but Guo Shao couldn't say "I can't help it". He is the emperor and his attitude must be steady.

Guo Shao spoke immediately: "This matter..."

Everyone's arguing stopped, and the meeting hall was quiet for a while.

Guo Shao calmly said: "In the past few years, there have been seldom heard of droughts, floods, natural disasters, famines, etc. Generally, the weather has been smooth everywhere. Last time Zan Jurun proposed the'cooked manure method', which greatly improved the harvest. As long as the world has it Food and clothes are not a problem, there is always a solution."

When everyone heard it, it really made sense. Anyway, everyone didn't die from starvation. How could it be serious? Isn't it the reason? Everyone immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"To discuss politics today, there is nothing else to leave." Guo Shao immediately waved his sleeve.

Guo Shao left the room to the study, and saw Jing Niang waiting there.

Jingniang came up and took out a metal lump from a cloth pocket and placed it on the table. Without waiting for Jing Niang to speak, Guo Shao stretched out his hand and picked it up to observe, a very strange piece, which seemed to be ore, but was obviously molten metal. He didn't recognize it for a moment.

"This is silver." Jingniang said.

"Silver?" Guo Shao was a little puzzled, feeling very different, because silver is at least white, and this thing is not very gray.

Jingniang said: "The things that the soldiers brought back from Dongdao were purchased from Dongdao Shanyin|Dao. After the officials of Jiafang Department looked at it, they said it was silver, but thick silver. There was silver in it. , Lead, copper and other things are mixed together, which makes the color poor. It may be because the people of Dongdao Shanyin|Taozhi are still unable to refine silver, and even so."

When Guo Shao heard this, he asked again: "What kind of Shanyin|Dao has many mines?"

Jing Niang looked slightly embarrassed: "I don't know either."

Guo Shao pondered again: "I can't even smelt silver. The mining technology must be very poor, but the silver mines that can be produced in lumps must be open-pit silver mines. If I dig deeper, there will be gains. ."

Guo Shao played with this thing in his hand, and for a while, he saw a white light in the dark night!

He is convinced of Japan|'s own silver mines. Later generations of information developed, and he didn't know where he saw Guori|His own country Jinshan Yinshan; but at this time, the ancients sporadic inquiries have again verified this information. So Guo Shao feels that the credibility is higher.

Guo Shaodao: "You personally meet those who have been to the East Island and the merchants, and then report to me. In addition to the news about the precious minerals, there are also the East Island’s national affairs, military, population, ships and other matters. All who arrive are here."

Jing Niang held her fist and said: "Yes."

Guo Shao stood up, paced back and forth behind the screen, and rubbed a few times together. He suddenly felt a little impetuous and was tempted to flustered...It was when he was so poor that he suddenly discovered that there was a Jinshan Yinshan; this feeling was like a person who had been hungry for three days and saw one The fragrant chicken legs can't be restrained.

Money, cash for easy transportation! Can solve a lot of Guo Shao's problems!

Especially the brothers of the Forbidden Army, Guo Shao certainly would not listen to the opinions of some civilian officials and cut their pay. Two reasons: First, the brothers were inspired by themselves for the country and the people, and brought all kinds of bright and noble righteousness to the world. Guo Shao couldn't bear to treat them badly. 2. The recruiting system and the policy of strong branches and weak branches that he implemented requires sufficient financial support from the central government, because it cannot be divided into enfeoffments, and it must give others other benefits.

Where did the money come from? Issuing banknotes is absolutely impossible! In history, the adhesive tape of the Song Dynasty and the Daming Treasure Banknotes of the Ming Dynasty have used the advanced inspiration of failure to prove that without a professional financial system, banknotes cannot be played. The establishment of credit is also a problem. At the beginning, everyone did not accept the value of a piece of paper; when a lot of effort was put into establishing paper currency credit, it would be easy to destroy with the current backward system. Anyway, it's not a good thing to work hard.

The use of precious metals, gold, silver and copper to mint coins can solve all side effects. It is valuable in itself, and the world has accepted its value for thousands of years.

Guo Shao's eyes seemed to see Huang Cancan's piles of gold and copper coins and silver coins with white flowers coming out of the workshop in batches and directly transported to the national treasury. The wealth was strong. In the future, he would do whatever he wanted. If he wanted to use soldiers, he would use soldiers. !

His emotions gradually became agitated. Although his face was still very calm, walking around there and doing some trivial movements had exposed his inner unrest.

Guo Shao turned around and said: "Come here, call Han Tong to see you."

The eunuch's voice said: "The slave and maid obeyed the order."

The power of money is still great, and it can directly affect the military strategy of the entire Daxu Dynasty at once. Guo Shao now feels that Liao and Hexi are not the most urgent opponents. Even the superpower Liao does not dare to provoke them. First, the Battle of Youzhou has just been defeated, and the Battle of Pingxia also deterred them. It can be slowed down temporarily... but it is urgent to grab Jinshan Yinshan!

Guo Shao is short of money every day. According to his personal wishes, he definitely wants to take the "Shanyin|Dao" next month, and first dig out some of the gold and silver mountains to meet his urgent needs. But just thinking about it, it still takes time to prepare. The key is that the East Island is too far away for the current Central Plains. The East China Sea is wide and rough. It is not that it is impossible to win or reach.

But Guo Shao has already made a decision in his heart, and he has to go mining if he finds a way.

(I'm sorry, but it's been over for two days. It's really easy to write up to now. Sometimes it needs to think about it.)
