Chapter 351 Review and Prospect
With the easing of relations with all parties and the rise of commerce and trade between the two places, the development of the workshop is also growing, and the products are becoming more and more abundant.Among them, Hengshan's special products, such as crystal products, high-quality steel, horses, and fine salt, have become the goods sought after by merchants all over the world.

Now the Hengshan Caravan has established a trading site in the Huamingyan Three States, and communicates with these three forces.And because the relationship between these three forces and the court is delicate, they are ministers of the court in name.Therefore, merchants from all states and counties under the control of the imperial court can enter these three places to do business, and Hengshan Commercial Bank can rely on the three forces to communicate with merchants from all over the world.

Because of the cold relationship between the Murong family in Shazhou and Hengshan, the Hengshan caravan could not gain a foothold on the long corridor and ancient road, so they had to resort to smuggling and secretly trade with the Shazhou Chamber of Commerce. As a result, Hengshan’s sales and profits in Shazhou have always been Unable to expand.For this reason, Hengshan was extremely dissatisfied with the Shazhou Dingxi Army, and proposed to send troops to Shazhou to eradicate the Dingxi Army and occupy the long corridor and ancient road for themselves.

After this year's development, the taxes collected by Hengshan reached 500 million taels, of which the industrial and commercial tax accounted for more than 500%.After accounting, after deducting expenditures, there is still a financial balance of more than [-] million taels.This is because Hengshan was relatively peaceful this year, with no natural disasters or conquests.Taxes are basically used for internal construction, which makes the expenditure relatively reduced.

Faced with such a good situation, Lin Yifan was naturally very pleased.This year's hard work has not been in vain, Hengshan's strength has become more solid and stronger after this year's operation.Now that the past has been summed up, it is natural to look forward to the future.The new year will be the last year of Hengshan's three-year precipitation period, and the coming year will be the beginning of Hengshan's forge ahead and external expansion.Therefore, this year, Hengshan still focused on development and did not take the initiative to take external actions.

This year, Hengshan will actively encourage the common people to have more children and build bridges for unmarried young men and women, so that the population of Hengshan will reach a new peak in this year.The newly resettled more than 40 Mingzhou people will be resettled in various places in Hengshan, quickly digested and absorbed, and integrated into the big family of Hengshan.Externally, we must continue to attract people from various prefectures to migrate to Hengshan, and make proper resettlement, so that the immigrants can adapt to life in Hengshan as soon as possible.

More than 8 captives of the Northern Expedition Army have served in Hengshan for more than a year. Those who behaved well can be given freedom and let them go or stay.If they are willing to stay in Hengshan, they will be resettled according to the standards of the people of Hengshan.The rest of the prisoners who have not contacted their families for a year may be allowed to write letters to contact their families, entrusting their wages for this year to go home to comfort their relatives.

As for the hundreds of thousands of golden wolf captives, a strategy of differentiation must be adopted.According to the length of captive time, give different treatment.A group of naturalized herdsmen must be sent to supervise these captives, so that barbarians can control barbarians.All the golden werewolves who naturalized to me in Hengshan will give me the same status as the people of Hengshan, give them the surname Hua, and become Chinese citizens.In the future, all captives of foreign races will be treated in the same way.

The development of Hengshan's agriculture and animal husbandry is still at the top. In addition to continuing to expand the cultivated area, it will continue to import a large amount of grain and grass from other forces for storage.At the same time, Hengshan will develop from a single crop to diversification.In addition to the staple grain wheat, other supplementary grains such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans should also be expanded.The Agricultural Research Institute will conduct joint research with the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Commerce to carry out secondary processing of agricultural products to make more valuable and richer food materials, so that agricultural products have higher value and are conducive to export and sales.

This year's animal husbandry will continue to expand. In addition to the huge grassland of Xiazhou Grassland, the newly added Xiabei Grassland provides more space for the expansion of animal husbandry.With the rise of the trade with the Golden Werewolves, a large number of cattle and sheep poured into Hengshan continuously, making the market of Hengshan saturated, and they had to start exporting to all parts of the world.

Industry and commerce are the two wings of Hengshan's take-off, and will increase investment and continue to expand its scale.Technical colleges bear the key to industrial development and the key to industrial innovation, and will be given more attention.The smelting technology such as steel must be further optimized. Now that coal has been imported from Mingzhou, the success rate of steelmaking has greatly increased.What we need to do in the future is to continue to increase steel production, reduce costs, and finally achieve popularization.

The road construction in Hengshan has been basically completed in Xiazhou. With Tongwan City as the center, it goes straight to Xiayang Pass in the north, Polang Pass in the south, Dongshan Iron Mine in the east, and the east bank of Xiashui in the west, connecting Xiazhou along the way. Counties and cities.Among them, the county town is the center, and branch roads extend to the county towns.The Anzhou road has been connected, with Jing'an Mansion as the center, a straight road extending northward to Weiyuan County, only connecting Pingyuan County along the way, and going south to the small border town north of Jishan Pass.Because of the short time and the rugged terrain, it has not yet been fully connected.This year, Hengshan plans to completely complete the road connections in various parts of Hengshan, especially the road from the desert to the salt lake, and the road from Xiayang Mountain to the mall.In the future, not only will the schedule of commercial transportation be shortened, but the mobilization of troops will also be faster than before.

In view of the inconvenience of carrying money brought about by the prosperity of commerce and trade, under Lin Yifan's suggestion, Hengshan decided to open banks in various places and issue bank notes.In the future, common people can store a batch of silver money in one bank and exchange it for a bank note.The money stored in the bank will generate a certain amount of interest, and the longer it is kept, the more interest it will get.At the same time, the corresponding banks have also opened loan business, lending at low interest rates to businessmen who are in urgent need of money.The government can also rely on bank deposits to allocate them to various places for development.Merchants can use the bank, put money in the bank, and only need to carry a light silver bill with them. After arriving in other places, they can cash the equivalent silver money at the local bank with the bill, and the bank only charges one-thousandth of the fee.In this way, the cost and risk of carrying large amounts of money along the road can be saved.

When Lin Yifan designed this bank, although he referred to the modern banking system, he still eliminated many functions of the bank in the face of the civilization of the world. Now he is trying to build a template to solve the problem of inconvenient money circulation. When the time is ripe, the function of converting banknotes into currency will be finally realized.

This kind of pioneering work was unprecedented in this world, and Lin Yifan was both excited and worried about it.When discussing with everyone, he repeatedly emphasized the need to be cautious, because he was worried that the bank would be exploited by some greedy people and bring huge losses to Hengshan.For this reason, he, Jin Jiuyuan and Wang Fugui studied together for half a year, listed and standardized the various risks of the bank, and formulated a complete set of strict rules and regulations.It was not until now that it was publicly announced that the establishment of the bank was confirmed, with Jin Jiuyuan temporarily serving as the president, Liu Yue and Wang Fugui serving as the left and right deacons, and Chen Dengke dispatching a supervisory envoy to exercise supervisory power.

. . . . .

After the spring meeting, Lin Yifan returned to the study room, and while sorting out the documents collected from various counties and counties, he asked a shadow guard in Xuanqing costume in front of the seat, "Where is Princess Yunyang now?"

Sir, according to the latest information, the princess has just arrived in Shazhou, and it is estimated that she will arrive in Dingxi County in half a month. "The shadow guard bowed and said.

"Oh, is there any movement along the road?" Lin Yifan paused his hands slightly, looked up at him and asked.

"Return to my lord, there is no news at present."

"Okay, you go down first, and let me know as soon as you have any news." Lin Yifan nodded and instructed.

When the shadow guard left, Lin Yifan sat there in a daze, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.The princess got married, and the forces of all parties were ready to move, and the Tianyun Kingdom was the one that most eagerly wanted to get rid of the princess.Since the journey was safe and sound, Tianyun Kingdom must be planning to start an uprising in Shazhou.For this matter, the strength Hengshan can use is limited, especially in Shazhou.Now the situation can only depend on the luck of the princess.
