Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1167
"Sanlang should hurry back to Wu'an."

Lao Huang looked at Qin Lang wandering around Xinjin Mountain all day long, and couldn't bear to see him. There was a newly married princess wife and concubines in Taiping Harbor, so what's the point of staying here all day playing bachelor.

"Qindao's initial creation, everyone worked very hard..."

"Then you don't need to sit in the town in person, or is it that Sanlang doesn't trust me, Lao Huang? Even if I am not capable, there are more than a hundred old stewards who have come to Qindao now. Our deacon council is also full of sages. With them Now, isn't Saburo still at ease?"

As more and more people came to Treasure Island, everyone gradually gave the island a new name, Qindao.

"I'll leave when I get the training camp done."

"Let's go quickly, don't make the princess angry. If the princess is angry, the sage Baobuqi will be angry too. If you get angry at that time, old Taishan, the consequences will be serious. As for the training camp, it's okay to take your time." urgent."

Zhang Chao also came over and said with a smile, "I heard that the sage gave the princess a new title. Princess Taiping, how appropriate the occasion is. The princess lives in Taiping, and the princess lives in Taiping. Hurry back and let the princess get pregnant as soon as possible. Our Qin family is such a big business." , I don’t have a son-in-law yet.”

"It's better to have a few more."

Qin Lang had no choice but to smile, and promised them to put together the matter at hand first and then go back.During this time, apart from planning the future of the entire island, Qin Lang was also busy with one thing, building a training camp.This training camp is not an ordinary training camp, but a military academy similar to a lecture hall.

In order to consider the safety of Qin Island when it grows in size in the future, Qin Lang has already started to build a military academy, intending to build an absolutely loyal Qin family army from scratch.

Among the apprentices or junior buddies with more than five years in the Qin family's various industries, recruit some young and strong martial arts, and the first batch will give priority to the apprentices and buddies who were born as orphans.

The purpose of doing this is to let them have a stronger cohesion towards the Qin family in the future.

Therefore, the security guards at this stage are not selected for the training camp. Many of the current training camps are guards trained by the Qin family on the South China Sea Island. They can also be regarded as mercenaries, and their backgrounds are relatively complicated.

Qin Lang's new training camp is going to be carefully selected and trained like the Qin family's training buddies, and an elimination mechanism will be introduced.

Every five years, the training is divided into subjects, such as horses, infantry, and navy, and even special engineering and logistics departments. Not only military training, but also cultural courses to teach them benevolence, loyalty, filial piety, propriety, wisdom and trust, etc.

A group is recruited every year, and after the five-year period expires, the Qindao regiment will be formed after completing their studies, with them as the backbone.

Even using the students in the training camp as the Qin family's pro-army is similar to Emperor Li Shimin's Habayashiro.

Qin Lang attaches great importance to this matter. After all, with the development of this place in the future, the situation will become more and more complicated. The Qin family must have the ability to defend this place.

Qin Langchu planned to enroll 200 people in the first phase, and organize them into two cavalry teams, four infantry teams, a sailor team, and a logistics engineer team, each with 200 people.

The student soldiers of this first training camp will be Qin Lang's pro-army or servant team on Qin Island.

Now the selection has begun. From the properties of the Qin family all over the country, 21 young people who are orphans, who are apprentices or juniors or above for more than five years, and are between 200 and [-] years old, preferably There is already a certain cultural foundation.

Once selected, these people will be sent to Qindao for five years of comprehensive training, and will be incorporated into the Qindao family team. Everyone will be treated very well.

Qin Lang also planned a [-]% elimination rate every year, and those who were eliminated could return to work in their original business or workshop, or be transferred to Qindao's security team.

The monthly salary is three thousand and six buckets of rice. This is the basic treatment for the training camp students, which is comparable to that of the security guards. In addition, they also enjoy food, lodging, clothes, shoes, hats and other daily necessities.

This is to spend a lot of money to build an elite family team.

Both Ah Huang and Zhang Chao have no objection to this. Although Zhang Chao is the captain of the security guard, he also thinks that Qin Lang's family team is similar to the camp of some generals in the past. Extraordinary preferential treatment to obtain the wholehearted loyalty of these people.

The current security team is definitely not as loyal as such a family battalion.

"Let's go back to Taiping first. If you are really worried about this place, you can come back after the Chinese New Year, and then you can personally conduct a personal test on the training camp students you sent."

In September, autumn is crisp and clear.

Outside the rammed-earth city wall that has been initially completed in Xinjin Mountain, the rice planted in the summer has also begun to turn yellow.

A lot of rice was planted in the summer, and now the waves of golden rice are rolling, and the ears of rice are heavy. It is a lack of fertilizer, but the land here is good and there is enough water, so at least one mu of land can reach the yield of about two stones.

Qin Lang thinks this yield is basically correct, but there is a small situation here, that is, in the Central Plains, there are large acres and small acres, but in Qindao, all fields are calculated according to large acres.It is 240 steps long and one mu wide, which is equivalent to 540 square meters, and one mu is equivalent to 0`81 mu in later generations.

In the central plain area with good weather and good weather, one mu of rice harvests two stones, which is only two hundred catties. In fact, this yield can be said to be very low. After all, in later generations, it is not said that the yield of hybrid rice exceeds one thousand catties, and even super hybrid rice can reach The yield per mu is three thousand catties, but even ordinary rice seeds can reach seven to eight hundred catties, or even thousands of catties per mu.

The old deacons who used to manage the manor said that next year they will plow the land deeply, burn some plant ash, make some dung compost, and do some silt to improve the fertility of the field. Strengthening management can greatly increase the yield.

Qin Lang is convinced of this, guarding such a fertile plain without worrying about food, the main reason is that there are few people farming, such as the vast plain outside Xinjinshan City, but only a small amount of rice is cultivated and planted in summer. Part of the soybeans were replanted.

There are still large tracts of land that are still covered with grass and can only herd sheep, cattle and pigs.

After bidding farewell to Lao Huang, Qin Lang boarded the big treasure ship of the Qin family and began to sail back from Xinjin Mountain. This time, the route was to go south to San Francisco Port, then go to Zhenzhou Sanya on Qiongzhou Island, and then sail back to Taiping Port.

The entire voyage takes about five days.

When the boat enters San Francisco, a high rammed-earth city wall has already been erected here, and the city of San Francisco also has a city wall. The tall windmill on the riverside drives the water hammer, and coins are being minted day and night, from the Kaiyuan gold coins of the imperial court to Kaiyuan silver coins to Kaiyuan The copper coins are exactly the same imitation, even the material and color are the same, and the finished products are also fake or genuine.

Because apart from the fact that the money was not minted by the imperial court's money supervisor, there is no difference in other aspects.

It was Qin Lang's decision to use the gold, silver and copper mined by Qin Dao to mint coins directly, but he did not intend to mint counterfeit coins.The minting of coins was originally for the convenience of circulation on the island. With more and more people, the demand for currency is also increasing.

However, the imperial court has a policy of prohibiting gold, silver and money from going to sea, and usually only a small amount can be carried out, which cannot meet today's needs.

Before Qin Lang used the Qin Family Taiping Bank's ticket number to circulate, but these are just papers after all, not real money, especially overseas, it will still have some influence.

Furthermore, the Qin family can also mine a lot of associated silver and copper when mining gold on the island. Since they have the materials and are not unskilled, casting money is not a problem, not to mention that casting money is also profitable. After all, the imperial court's gold and silver coins were not in sufficient quantity, but silver-patterned gold, that is, circulated at face value.

A standard Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coin is made of copper, lead and tin, with a copper content of about 60.00%. Cast consistent money is about 160 money.However, before the imperial court minted coins, they usually set up coin furnaces where the copper mines were located. The labor costs were high, and there was also a high transportation cost. As a result, one thousand coins were often minted in the end, and the cost may add up to the same amount. The money that came out was still at a loss.

Of course, the technology of the San Francisco Qin Family Foundry is more advanced, and it can basically guarantee more than [-]% of the net minting profit, which is quite amazing.

Gold and silver coins have considerable minting profits. Jin Kaiyuan generally contains [-]% gold, while silver Kaiyuan contains [-]% silver. Gold coins also contain silver and other metals, and silver coins also contain copper and other metals. The imperial court holds the coinage right, so it is firmly established. Controls the cost and profit of minting coins.

This is when Datang was very loyal. The copper coins of Kaiyuan Tongbao are very good, weighing six catties and four liang per catty, which is far better than the five baht meat in the past, not to mention the fake and inferior thin coins and white coins since the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Qin Lang didn't need to mint bad coins at all, and the copper coins could get more than [-]% of the coinage profit.The same is true for gold and silver coins. The imperial court guarantees a lot of seigniorage by marking the face value and controlling the fineness of gold and silver raw materials.

Therefore, in recent years, the Great Tang has strictly prohibited the casting of private money, which was released when the country was first founded. The imperial court has an official money supervisor, but some private money is also allowed, as long as the casting standard meets the official standard. It was put into circulation in the market. At the beginning, it was done because of the shortage of money in the market, and a large number of counterfeit coins and private money were rampant. The Kaiyuan Tongbao cast by the imperial court was of good quality. Two to three million coins can be minted, and once the good money comes out, it is often collected by merchants and common people, and even secretly melted down to make copperware, or turned around to make fake money.

The extreme lack of money in the market made the economy more difficult and bad money became more rampant. In the end, the imperial court could only allow private coinage in order to increase the amount of money in the market.

But after the Zhenguan reform, the imperial court unified the world, the economy recovered, and after the prosperity of industry and commerce, not only the amount of copper mining increased greatly, but also through policies such as crackdown on Buddhism and Taoism, copper ban, and copper imports, the imperial court had sufficient copper coins in its hands. The source, coupled with the innovation in coinage technology, has made the imperial court change from a situation where there was no copper coinage, or even a loss of money in coinage, to profitable coinage, and the benefits are not small.

As high as more than [-]% of the copper coin minting profits, the imperial court, of course, could no longer release it to private individuals, so it began to crack down on private minting and counterfeit coins.
