Chapter 111: Refugees Thank You (Part 2)

The snowflakes were in the air, falling quickly and quickly.

Yu Zhao is old and arrives at the Secret Palace, with snow falling on his body.

A eunuch quickly saluted and brushed the snow away. Yu Zhao took off his cloak and handed it to Wang Xin. Hearing Wang Hongyi's voice: "Yu Zhao? Come in!"

"Yes!" Yu Zhao agreed, and stepped in, feeling warm all over his body. After calming down, he kowtowed and bowed to the ground and bowed: "I pay homage to the Marquis of Shu!"

After saying that, he looked up and saw Wang Hongyi sitting behind the table, with memorials piled up on the table, and Li Gang, Wang Yan, Hu Ce, Li Xian, Ding Huchen, Zhang Youzhi, Yu Liangbo, and even Zhang Yuwen were all there.

"Get up, sit down first and then discuss matters!" Wang Hongyi looked at the snowflakes in the yard opposite the window, and a moment of destiny appeared. He turned his face and said to Ding Huchen: "You talk about the situation of the Ministry of War first."

"Yes, lord, as directed, there are a total of 20,000 surrendered soldiers, all of which are all assigned to each Gengzhu camp. Now all six counties have built Gengzhu camps. I went to see them myself. The training was very hard, and those who failed were eliminated. Now, 12,000 of the 20,000 soldiers are considered qualified, and the others are all assigned to the county as yamen runners or wing soldiers."

Ding Huchen said, "According to the lord's instructions, soldiers who have killed people cannot be dismissed and returned to the field at will. There will always be an errand."

Speaking of this, Yu Zhaoxin was very worried. Such a professional soldier who had killed people and had no choice but to fight. If he was left alone, it would be a disaster.

Ding Huchen also reported: "According to the system, the current soldiers are 52,000 now. This time, the training camp of the new army has been completed. The entire army is 42,000, and there is still 10,000 left to fill up."

Wang Hongyi nodded and said, "First add these to the army, and take 10,000 yuan at the same time... It also requires manpower to reclaim!"

After thinking about it, he asked again: "How is the reclamation situation now?"

Although Wang Yan was an uncle, he still bowed and said, "Lord, in the past three months, I have only roughly calculated the household registration and land of the three counties in Xinde. I will be responsible for the distribution of land and reclamation in the spring next year. It is expected that all the work will be completed in the autumn harvest. Lord, Dongyizhou can raise 2 million people, and now the population is barren, only 700,000, and some are land."

"Yu Zhao, how is your Lisi?"

"Lord, I first built the sealing bureau and the official clothing bureau. This is to cast sealing letters and official clothing for internal and external officials. Now it has been basically completed. The adjustment and system of each official are being explored. Once it is completed, I will ask the lord Yu Ling to confirm it. In addition, there are a total of 160 candidates for electing and enrolling officials in various places. If the lord is allowed, they will be allowed to enter the officialdom and transferred to the jurisdiction of the official department."

"Where is the Engineering Department?" Wang Hongyi asked again.

Li Xian stood up and bowed and said, "The Paper Armor Division has been changed to Paper Armor Bureau, and the number of people has expanded to 300 people. This paper Armor can cost 15,000 every year, which is enough for military supplies."

"I ask for two things, one is weight and measure, and the other is minting money. I have already brought my mother's money, please watch it." As he said that, Li Xian took out a penny.

After taking this money, Huang Cancan and Shinying the money, he smiled immediately: "Just use this."

"Lord, but this money is six copper and four leads. The money paid is golden. The people naturally accept it. I am afraid that the court made money to mint money. The people will collect the money and melt it before casting copperware. I am afraid that the copper ore and copper production will not be sufficient in the future." Li Xian said seriously: "In my humble opinion, the method of making money is used. The quality of copper and leads is not bad, and it is convenient for the people to communicate."

This is a major policy. Li Xian is familiar with the inside story and is very clear about it.

Wang Hongyi thought for a while and said, "The quality of copper is five, lead is five, but the quality is not bad, but it cannot show results. There are many copper in Shu, and using six, lead is four, but it can be circulated quickly. Besides, this is connected with the number of energy. In the prosperous era, the quality of money will be good, and the weight will be heavy. When people's livelihood is withered, the money will be light and cannot be considered as consumption alone."

"Stable in Shu requires many aspects. Money is a big aspect. If the money is heavy, the people will be stable. Foreign countries are also willing to trade with us. The impact will be great in all aspects. We cannot lose the big because of small things."

There is a lot of gold, silver and copper in Shu. I remember that on Earth, the Qing Dynasty Wang Hongyi Dynasty was still a major corps of Sichuan to mint coins.

Moreover, the problem of copper coins has plagued the dynasties for thousands of years. In fact, the solution is very simple, which is the trade surplus.

When a large amount of silver and gold flows into Middle Earth, special silver dollars and gold dollars can be made for circulation, especially silver dollars, which greatly reduces the need for copper coins.

A silver dollar is worth one or two taels, which is equivalent to one thousand coins. In fact, once you enter a peaceful and prosperous era, a silver dollar can already act as currency, which is not too large.

Wang Hongyi naturally had a suggestion in his heart. He had already figured out the context of the times in this world these days, and was probably between the Song and Ming dynasties on Earth.

Many time travelers engage in maritime trade from the beginning, but they don’t think there are two major problems.

The first is navigation technology, and the second is to want to trade. It must have a trading country - who will do business with during the Three Kingdoms?

Although the Western Qin Dynasty is now in chaos, the countries in the Western Qin continent have developed. Therefore, as long as you seize the south and once you develop it, you will immediately make a fortune. The Song Dynasty had 20 million yuan of customs revenue a year, which is not difficult now.

Another thing is the weight and measure, but Wang Hongyi still modified it slightly. It was originally five hundred grams per pound, but it was 10 taels per pound, not sixteen taels, and ten taels per pound.

Now one zhang is equal to ten feet, and one foot is equal to ten inches. Wang Hongyi checked it and probably estimated that one foot of this era is equal to about 35 centimeters, so there is only three feet and one meter, and there is an extra "meter".

This is for his own habits.

Li Xian reported carefully: "But mining requires a lot of people. Lord, it's too late to reclaim now, so how can there be so many copper workers?"

Wang Hongyi listened carefully and said with a smile: "That is the reason I have to discuss with everyone about the matter in Xiyizhou - Zhang Youzhi, tell me the situation."

"Yes, there are two towns in Xiyizhou, Yueshan County and Yongchang County. The key is Yongchang Town, which has 10,000 soldiers and is an important town in Xiyizhou. The vassal commander Qian Qingfu was stubborn and thought that 10,000 soldiers could resist the army. Yueshan County had 6,000 soldiers, which was not a problem. As for Jianshan, Yuecheng, Qinghe, Guangning, and Dingnan counties, they could be pacified once they were surrendered. However, the Han people were not large in population, and the mountain tribes were large in power, but it was difficult to manage."

"It has always been easy to calm down such problems, but difficult to manage them." Wang Hongyi asked: "What are your opinions?"

Ding Huchen bowed and said, "According to my opinion, this matter is easy. It's just the word "suppression" and "killing". If you are afraid of killing, you will naturally accept it."

Wang Hongyi smiled and said nothing.

Li Gang had different opinions: "There are 300,000 mountain tribes, how can they be killed? It is better to directly serve as the busiest mountain tribes as the county magistrate, and coordinate with the county magistrate, and fight and pull, so they can be pacified."

This is how to beat and caress.

"I object. This method is good, but it is necessary to restrain most of our town's military power in Xiyizhou. This is absolutely not possible." Yu Zhao immediately expressed his objection.

Wang Hongyi asked again: "Zhang Youzhi, where are you?"

"I just heard that the three adults all make sense. I think that first use a large army to intimidate each other and protect the borders, then divide and siege the dangerous places, divide and surround the mountains, and only repair the barriers and do not confront them. When the grain is about to be ripe, the troops will plunder, and force the mountains to come out of the mountains to survive with hunger, and you can collect the cages." Zhang Youzhi said.

This method combined the above opinions, and everyone immediately cursed, but then they looked at Wang Hongyi together and asked for his decision.

Wang Hongyi has been thinking about it for a long time these days, and recalled how the earth was dealing with it in history. At this time, he had decided to make arbitrary decisions. He stood up and said, "It's the winter of the fourteenth year of Chuzheng. In another month, it's the fifteenth year of Chuzheng. I feel uneasy when I think about it!"

Speaking of this, he sighed a long time, and without waiting for everyone to reply, he said: "The mountain tribe is hindering the deep ground, and the confidants are not settled, so it is difficult to go far. However, Qinchuan and Jingzhou have major changes, and strong enemies are rising. Although Gu took the lead and took some initiative, he wasted two or three years on the mountain tribe. I am afraid that he can't do anything. Isn't this a great wish of Gu?"

At this time, Wang Hongyi's eyes were bright. At this time, the snow outside the hall had been a little lighter, and it was still falling down, which was obviously heroic and upright.

This was the first time that Yu Zhao and other ministers heard Wang Hongyi’s open voice and looked at the world, they were all excited and excited. They stood up and said, “Lord has this aspiration, which is the blessing of all people!”

I wanted to say it again, but Wang Hongyi intercepted it again: "Your opinions are all good, but Xi Yizhou has to be pacified, including the mountain tribes, for a year!"

"Hiss!" These words made all the ministers breathe.

In Yizhou, Pingxi, no one is afraid of anyone, but the Pingshan tribes must be within one year, which is so shocking.

Wang Hongyi took a sip of tea, smiled at everyone, and said, "Maybe it seems that you are too hasty, but if you use tens of thousands of troops and take several years, you won't have to fight in the future."

"When you use extraordinary means, you have already made a suggestion. I will say what time to let you listen."

Speaking of this, everyone couldn't stand, so they stood up and knelt down and listened.

"First, as soon as next spring begins, I will lead a large army to fight and pacify Xiyizhou in one fell swoop."

After saying this, everyone had no objection.

"Secondly, along the way, if there are any mountain tribes who send troops to interfere with each other, the lonely opinion is very simple. If you defeat them, all the men of the tribe, above the wheel, will be punished to Tongshan Yinshan as slaves."

"Li Xian, listen, these war slaves are tortured. They will only want to work for three years. In three years, even if they are not dead, they will all be killed."

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but move a ***er. Li Xian raised his head in shock and wanted to speak, but when he saw Wang Hongyi's face was covered with green air, he stared at him fiercely. He suddenly remembered that the old coach killed Tian Ji, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart and kowtowed and responded: "Yes!"
