Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

It was hazy white, and there was fog all around, and I couldn't see where it was, but it seemed 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 suddenly woke up and found a strange young lady lying beside her again. 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, exquisitely 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 gods: "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 battle, and occasionally it is inevitable to come to me in a dream."

But Guo Shao couldn't sleep anymore... His ministers often praised him as the lord, but Guo Shao knew that he was not very good at his mental quality, lacking some kind of open-mindedness, or the ruthlessness of the king. For example, Xiaoxiong Cao Cao said, "I would rather let the people of the world, not the people of the world", 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 rushed to Jinxiang Palace. Because today is the "three-day dynasty", the West Hall is discussing the affairs of the government.

Guo Shao didn't sleep well, his head was a little dizzy, most obviously his eyes were heavy. However, he was able to deal with it calmly in the Palace of Political Affairs. 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 War transferred food and cloth from various places to the imperial army and the guard army. It believed that this method was extremely 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 hide it, and said directly: "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, directly related to the safety of the people in Gyeonggi and countless counties and counties, and then he mentioned seeing the forbidden army soldiers drinking flowers and wine and visiting the kiln on the street.

"You generals, it's really time to get out of the capital, to see the people, what are the lives of the people, what are the lives of the soldiers..."

Shi Yanchao said coldly: "Fan Xianggong, this is when you only see people eating meat, and you don't see people desperately. Why don't Fan Xianggong 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 your Majesty's class and teacher back to the court, and he was free and 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 man 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 that when you are old, you have a son. The eldest son in the family is only twelve or three years old and can't bear the suffering of Xiuhe; but the honest family pays to bribe county officials. In order to get enough people, the county officials can only recruit poor households like them. ."

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

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

Shi Yanchao smiled and said: "This is a good point. The brothers have followed the official nine to death, and the reward is the royal food taken by the upright, it is better than the people who sneak in the fish and meat to 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, can it be okay if the state's fiscal expenditure is not paid? Of course not, because now it is not a slave society, and we cannot forcibly plunder and freely enslav people in various industries, otherwise the 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 immediately spoke: "This matter..."

Everyone's arguing stopped, and the Yeejeong Hall was quiet for a while.

Guo Shao calmly said: "In the past few years, we have rarely heard of droughts, floods, natural disasters, famines, etc. Generally speaking, 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 food, Wearing, everything is 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 truth? 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 Jingniang waiting there.

Jingniang stepped forward and took out a metal bump 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." Jing Niang 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 Shanyin Road, Dongdao. After the officials of the Jiafang Department looked at it, they said it was silver, but thick silver. There were silver, lead, and silver in it. Copper and other things are mixed together, making it poor in color. It may be because the people of Dongdao Shanyin are still unable to refine silver, and even so."

After hearing this, Guo Shao suddenly asked, "What kind of Shanyin? There are many such mines?"

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

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

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

He is convinced of the silver mines in Japan. The information in later generations was developed, and he didn't know where he saw the country, the country, the golden mountain and the silver mountain; but at this time, the ancients sporadic inquiries again verified this information. So Guo Shao feels that the credibility is higher.

Guo Shaodao: "You personally meet the meticulous works and merchants who have been to the East Island, and then report to me. In addition to the news about the precious minerals, there are also the national affairs, military, population, and ships of the East Island. Come up here."

Jingniang clasped her fist and said, "Yes."

Guo Shao stood up, paced back and forth behind the screen, rubbing the two together a few times. He suddenly felt a little impetuous, and he was tempted to panic...It was when he was too poor, and suddenly discovered that there was 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 for 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 they brought all kinds of bright and noble righteousness to death. Guo Shao couldn't bear to treat them badly. 2. The recruitment system and the policy of strong branches and weak branches that he implemented requires sufficient financial support from the central government of the court, because it cannot be divided into enfeoffments, and it must give others other benefits.

Where's the money? 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, paper currency 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 invested in establishing paper currency credit, it would be easy to destroy it with the current backward system. Anyway, it's not a good thing to work hard.

Using 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 rich. In the future, he would do whatever he wanted.

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

Guo Shao turned around and said, "Come on, call Han Tong to meet him."

The eunuch’s voice said: "The slaves and maids follow the order~www.readwn.com~ The power of money is still great, and it can directly affect the military strategy of the entire Da Xu Dynasty. Guo Shao now feels that Liao and Hexi are not the most urgent Even if the superpower Liao Guo dare not actively provoke a lot of opponents, one has just been defeated in the battle of Youzhou, and the battle of Pingxia also deterred them. You can temporarily slow down... and grab Jinshan Yinshan. , But it is urgent!

Guo Shao is short of money every day. According to his personal wishes, he definitely wants to occupy 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 from 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 had already made a decision in his heart, and he had to go mining if he wanted to.

(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.)
