Chapter 411

"Will you issue bank notes then? Or make gold coins, silver coins?"
Silver bills are different from the money bills used now and the flying bills used now. Silver bills are actually a kind of money that is the same as gold and silver, and are generally common to the upper and lower levels, and are basically modern paper money. But the money bills used by the money dealer are not. They are just a debit method and a private debit method. Of course, the current type of money bills that are secretly collected by tickets are basically the same as silver bills.
To govern the country and the local government, you can never avoid the word "money": sufficient money. If foreign enemies invade, they will be hit hard. If there is a famine, they will be on the spot. If there are refugees who are troubled, they will be used to fight and comfort each other. On the surface, it seems easy to say, but these are all worthless...
The Xiaoguo Army in various parts of Youzhou began to open up wastelands and farmland everywhere, and all turned to cultivation and recovery. The Xiaoguo Army also held a reward and gave due honors to those who had made contributions.
Perhaps it was because of Zhao Xun's threat, perhaps it was because of the fierce attitude of the Xiaoguo army no longer as before, or perhaps it was because Zhao Xun intended to enter North Korea, and surrounding prefectures stopped blocking the Xiaoguo army, and merchants and refugees also began to pass normally.
Zhao Xun's story in Liaotun City also spread throughout the world. For a moment, it was passed down by the people of the world and suddenly became a hero who expelled barbarians. Zhao Xun really shocked the people in the world to make the barbarians surrender.
Zhao Xun stepped up his reserves of gunpowder. Although gunpowder cannot determine the outcome of a long war, it can reverse the outcome of a battle under a specific opportunity.
"Dad... Hug..." After a few days of getting along with Zhao Xun, the two sons were no longer unfamiliar with the man in front of him.
Zhao Xun reached out to pick up his two sons, kissed them on both faces, and laughed: "My baby son... has he made trouble, have he listened to his mother?"
"Listen... obedient!" The two little guys said chubby as they grabbed Zhao Xun's face.
"Husband, how old are they? How can you understand what you are talking about?"
"That's right, I've forgotten the age of these two little guys!"
"See how great the governor!"
"Everyone is exempt from gifts!" As soon as I entered the back garden, a group of maids came up to us.
"Husband, do you still remember them?" Xu Qinlian said, pointing to the two maids on the side.
Zhao Xun turned his head and looked at it. This time he thought that these two people were the "princesses" he was coming from Liaodong Kingdom.
"Well, why are they in the mansion?" Zhao Xun remembered that he said, letting them move freely.
"Husband, they are the marriage partners in your eyes of the public during peace talks. How can they let them show up in public at will? Since they have entered my Zhao family, they have to follow the rules of the Zhao family."
"I'm still married? I said I'm married to them, forget it... I'll do whatever you want. By the way, you asked me to do it today. Do you have anything to say?" Zhao Xun took the teacup handed to Li Ruolan and said with a smile.
"Husband, are you going to Luoyang at the end of the year?" Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan both looked at Zhao Xun with concern.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Yes, there is nothing to worry about. I will be fully prepared. The real enemies of the imperial court are the Turks in the north and the Xuzhou army in the east. As for me, they will only win over and will not have any other ideas."
"Why are we going? We are in Youzhou, who can do anything to us? Luoyang is so dangerous!" Li Ruolan also said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've made all the preparations long ago. Even if the court wants to do it, I can be safe. Speaking of which, it's time to go to Luoyang to see it." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Since my husband has made up his mind, I will no longer dissuade him. But before that, should we solve some things?" Xu Qinlian said slowly.
Zhao Xun was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
Xu Qinlian said slowly: "Aren't you going to solve the problem of Su Ran, Li Xinyan and Su Ziyan's three sisters?"
"What does this have to do with them? I'm not doing anything when I go to Luoyang..."
"They are almost twenty years old, and here, it's long time to get married... You have a rare time now, so give them an explanation. You can't let them go in and out of the house, but you don't have a formal identity."
Zhao Xun smiled silently and said, "Since Lian'er, you have said that, let's do this as you said, you should be responsible."
For the three, Su Ziyan and herself are actually married. Although the other two have no substantial relationship, Zhao Xun also has a good impression of each other. He did not leave the flesh on his lips to others' hobbies...
Because Zhao Xun had to do a lot of things to do to enter the country at the end of the year or after the New Year. In addition to restoring local development, he also had to carry out a series of secret adjustments. He successively discussed with the army, officials and many people in secret, and arranged some methods to guard against outsiders and even more guard against internal problems.
After some discussion, Zhao Xun decided to reorganize the internal upper structure. There are three highest departments in the Xiaoguo Army Center, namely the Government Affairs Council, the Privy Council and the Censorate. The three courts are united and do not belong to each other.
The Government Council is naturally to coordinate all political affairs of the Xiaoguo Army's territory. The Privy Council is responsible for the war strategy and routine mobilization of defense of the Xiaoguo Army. The Censorate is the supervision department, which supervises the officials and local officials of the other two courts and has the right to directly submit a letter and report secretly.
In addition, the State Council also governs the promotion and verification of military officers, while the Privy Council is responsible for the nomination of military officers' promotion. The two courts restrict each other.
In early October, all the northern tribes handed over the cattle, sheep, war horses and horses that should be compensated to the Xiaoguo Army, and they should ceded the land of the Xiaoguo Army, and also gave up the Xiaoguo Army early. In the north, they entered a strange peace.
In addition to depositing and withdrawing coins from other places, Huitong Money House has also opened an additional loan business. Of course, this loan requires years of local identity or proof of a person with local identity. In addition, it also requires mortgage of fixed assets slightly higher than the loan amount.
In order to prevent someone from selling the mortgaged assets to others, when the bank makes a loan, the mortgaged fixed assets needs to be reported to the local government for filing. You should know that when trading fixed assets, you need to go to the government to purchase documents, which is equivalent to signing legal documents. With the bank filing, these people will have loopholes that cannot be exploited.
Besides, everyone knows that the money shop is run by Xiaoguo Military Officer, and the governor also has shares. Whoever dares to do anything wrong will be seeking death?
Some people, either alone or in partnership, and loan dealers, under the guidance of the Commercial Bureau, all kinds of large and small businesses appeared in turn, including Zhuhu, weaving silk, boiling silk, iron smelting, weapons, gold and silver ware, lacquerware, etc., including Zhuhu, Nantong, and Zhongyuan.
Perhaps because of the pacification in the north, merchants from various prefectures all traveled to Youzhou for business, and even some large merchants from far away appeared in Youzhou. Zhao Xun heard from his subordinates that merchants from Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places also appeared in Youzhou City. Zhao Xun did not deal with these merchants alone, and as long as the other party was the most business, Zhao Xun would not add anything extra. However, it must be followed by the rules of the Xiaoguo Army, and the credibility hierarchy system must also be followed by the regulations of the Xiaoguo Army.
Because these merchants traveled around the world, the situation in Youzhou spread all over the world. They were light on labor and taxes, were not exploited by officials, and were unaware of foreign enemies invasion, which was the most comfortable and safe place for the people. This triggered a frenzy of refugees' migration. The local government let them go, and the government on the way cursed in their hearts, but they still allowed refugees to pass through the border. Because they were worried that these refugees would starve to death on the way or cause accidents, Zhao Xun asked the business department to issue orders, and merchants assisted refugees to enter Youzhou, which was also considered an assessment point for the improvement of reputation.
Although there are many people in Youzhou, five or six million, plus seven or eight million in northern Hebei, the three eastern prefectures and the newly included in the jurisdiction are still vast and sparsely populated. If the Xiaoguo Army wants to truly stabilize the stability of the place, it should make the proportion of Han people unable to shake it, so that they can be submerged with crowds...
Zhao Xun also strongly supports the design, research and development and improvement of those who are good at strange and clever tricks. In fact, these strange and clever tricks that are not valued are actually the same as those done by the Ministry of Works of the court. What is unique is that the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Work
Speaking of which, the invention of this gunpowder is actually a kind of strange/lewd trick. But these strange/lewd tricks are enough to change the society's entry into the city.
Zhao Xun commended these accomplished people and even gave them official positions. If merchants support R&D, they will also be given honorary official positions, which is equivalent to local officials. The reason why those big merchants are funded is to allow more people to participate. After all, the support of Xiaoguojun is a minority.
Speaking of which, there are many successful examples.
The trencher was originally heavy trencher, which was only used for city offensive and defensive battles. However, because it was necessary to shoot thunderstorms, Zhao Xun asked the craftsman to restructure the trencher. After some trouble, some of the craftsman's trencher people actually created small trenchers that could be temporarily dismantled. These trenchers can be built in field battles, throwing thunderstorms, and bombarding the enemy's military formations.
The thunder of the sky became a poisonous gas bomb after a craftsman's camp. They placed all kinds of strange things such as croton, wolf smoke, arsenic, lime, etc. in the thunder of the sky. After the explosion, poisonous smoke will be produced and killed.
As a result, these people became more and more interested, and they specialized in smoke bombs that produce black smoke and strongly burning incendiary bombs. Although many of them have no strong practical application, the enthusiasm of these people's scientific research cannot be offset.
Then, Zhao Xun gave these people the same position as the lieutenant, that is, the same position as the lieutenant, and the salary of the lieutenant, and enjoy the treatment of the lieutenant. Of course, rewards are also indispensable. In this way, he aroused the research and development intentions of some people. Most of these are craftsmen, and perhaps with his own improvement, he will be able to make a name for himself...
Waterwheels first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After improvements from the previous dynasties, they gradually became widely used.
Because of the large-scale farming in Youzhou, there are naturally many places where water conservancy is insufficient, so water trucks are widely used. In addition to improving water turnover and turning water sources higher in places with higher terrain, array water trucks are also used to achieve maximum utilization efficiency. It greatly reduces the constraints on the farmland terrain and realizes the development of hilly land and hillside land. It is not only used for drawing water during drought, but also for draining water when water accumulates in low places.
The Xiaoguo Army's business, especially the Baiyu Company of Zhao Xun's own family, was responsible for reselling the impurity weapons, leather armor, etc. seized by the Xiaoguo Army to the Xuzhou Army for food, warships and silver. However, there was no unification of open alliances, support, etc.
In mid-October, Zhao Xun married again and took three concubines. All of Youzhou were celebrated. The Sumo and Mohe tribes, Liaodong Kingdom, Beihai tribes, and Khitans all sent people to send gifts to make representatives of the surrounding states secretly startled Zhao Xun's power in the northeast.
The newlyweds are like a man and a woman loves each other, and the fun is naturally not for the sake of outsiders. Zhao Xun no longer cares about the affairs of the Xiaoguo Army. In addition to accompanying his wife and children, he is secretly setting up secret tricks to prepare for the actions at the end of the year.
