"When I say thirty years, I don't mean that we will take it back after thirty years, but after thirty years, when the Tang Dynasty lifts commercial restrictions, the products produced by your glass workshop can be sold anywhere in the world." Zou

Yu explained.

Restricting her sales to other places is a regional protection for business to avoid malicious competition. New businesses are very fragile, and if the turmoil is too great, it will be detrimental to development. Of course, with the current control of the imperial court, these workshops have no chance

Tax evasion is unlikely to impact society because production capacity is limited after all.

"Really?" Kinderman asked in surprise.

"Of course it is true! And this time may be brought forward! But the tax cannot be reduced. At the same time, you must also try your best to develop new styles to make glass more useful. Otherwise, you will not be able to compete with other local workshops. Then don't blame me.

I didn't remind you." Zou Yu warned.

"Yes, I have taken note of it. Thank you for your kindness!" Kinderman nodded repeatedly.

Business must eventually move toward competition, so that there will be innovation, better quality, and lower prices!

"The original soldiers on the Liaodong Peninsula will select a hundred thousand troops to enter the Japanese country next year!" Zou Yu summoned all senior personnel on the peninsula to Seoul and announced the first order.

"Your Majesty! Is this a temporary reprieve?" Li Jing did not discuss this matter, and he said with some confusion.

"Why?"

"Why not mobilize such a large army to the Central Plains! It can be used to conquer Qi!" Li Jing suggested.

"The soldiers here are still insufficient for the conquest of the Central Plains! The conquest of the Japanese country is to rob their population! They are used to build roads on the peninsula and dig mines. We need more people to mine! As long as we develop and become stronger and conquer Qi,

It’s even easier!” Zou Yu explained.

The two communicated privately and tried to transfer the original soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula away from Liaodong, including some influential generals and officials!

"Did such an expedition with an army of 100,000 consume too much money and food?" Li Jing frowned and said.

"These 100,000 troops will enter in batches and feed the enemy! There is no military discipline on the Japanese island! But everything is focused on prisoners!" Zou Yu said with a big wave of his hand.

"This..." Li Jing and others were all shocked by Zou Yu's words. There was no military discipline, that is, burning, killing, looting, rape and robbery were not prohibited!

"Your Majesty, isn't this a little too much?" Li Jing thought that this was Zou Yu's revenge on the former Japanese state for sending troops to Baekje, so he couldn't help but cautiously remind him.

Others were also very shocked that Zou Yu gave such an order. You must know that Zou Yu has always been very approachable. Even if he killed 30,000 Goguryeo people, it was only to avenge his unborn son, and it was also a blow to Goguryeo.

Morale, after all, we were on the weaker side at the time.

"Don't think that I like killing people! The people on this island have no kings, no fathers, and no moral principles! The ambition of a wolf will make you grovel when you are strong. When you are weak, you will pounce like a wolf.

Come up!" Zou Yu explained.

"Your Majesty is right! The people of the Japanese country are very hierarchical. For the sake of their so-called bloodline, they are willing to give away their children for others to play with! During the previous dynasty, when they came to pay tribute, the first sentence written on the certificate of credence was the place where the sun rises.

The emperor is nowhere to be seen on the day of his death. The emperor is fine! Putting himself on the same level as His Majesty shows that his ambition is not small." Gao Biaoren nodded in agreement.

"Lunheng" records: "King Wu defeated Zhou, Yong, and the barbarians of Shu fought against Muye. When he became king, he often offered pheasants, and the Japanese paid tribute.

There are also records in the Han Dynasty that there are Japanese people in the Lelang Sea, divided into more than a hundred countries, and they come to see the clouds every year, which shows that they have been peeping at the Central Plains." Xu Wenyuan nodded and agreed.

On the Liaodong Peninsula, the senior officials present now are either military generals or strategist-type talents, pure literati. They have not come here, so no one is particularly opposed to it. On the contrary, after hearing about it, they no longer have a good impression of the Japanese!

"People from the Japanese island! Men have been slaves for generations! No mercy will be given to them! This is an eternal practice!" Zou Yu said seriously.

Zou Yu is the emperor, and the decision made on this occasion is an imperial edict, and this is an eternal rule! In other words, as long as the Tang Dynasty exists, this rule will not change.

"I obey the order!" It was rare for Zou Yu to do something so tyrannical. Naturally, Li Jing and others would not object. After all, they were just a group of barbarians. It was just an island country. If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed.

"Although the Japanese island is not big, it has a large population, estimated to be three to four million people! So don't be careless! The Ministry of War has also set regulations! When will the generals go on expeditions, and when will they be rotated, let's use it as a training ground from now on!

"Zou Yu warned.

"Three to four million people?" Li Jing looked up in shock and asked.

Three to four million people, which is about the same as the Liaodong Peninsula. Li Jing then put aside his contempt and made a mental calculation.

"I wonder if your majesty has a map of Japan?" Li Jing asked with his hands raised.

"I don't know about this, but the Baekje people have a lot of business dealings with them and have been interrogated. There should be news!" Zou Yu explained.

Li Jing nodded and did not continue to ask. He knew that Zou Yu was also experienced in the battlefield and would be able to make these basic preparations.

"We have called everyone here today. We have other important matters!" Zou Yu personally took out a stack of paper and put it down and said.

Seeing that Zou Yu was so cautious and actually took out so much information, many people sat upright and looked at him.

"From next year, all people's wages and officials' salaries will be paid in money! The specific standards have been submitted to the Ministry of Finance for discussion and formulation! The coins are also being made under the supervision of craftsmen! Everyone knows about this.

The main thing discussed is the matter of the workshop! Until now, I have not rewarded you with land, and many people must have found it strange! Maybe it is because you are worried that you will not be rewarded in the future! Today I tell you that these are all unnecessary worries!

"Zou Yu handed the information to Liu Renyuan and asked him to distribute it.

Zou Yu's words contained a large amount of information, which shocked everyone and made them think carefully.

The circulation of coins is inevitable. In the past, there were no mandatory regulations, nor were they issued in large quantities. This was because the conditions were not yet mature and the people were not rich in materials, so it was more appropriate to use materials as wages.

But now the number of nations and territories has increased, and it has reached the point where it has to be issued! I also wanted to use copper coins as the currency, but Japan Island happened to provoke me and reminded him that there was a lot of silver on the island, so I decided to use gold, silver, and copper as currency.

Silver is the standard, which is more suitable.

Copper coins have not changed rashly. One coin is still used as one penny, but silver coins are not so specified. The exchange ratio of one silver coin is one hundred copper coins! One gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins!

The largest waterwheel at present can drive a three thousand kilogram hammer, which can stamp out silver coins! The stamped coins are more exquisite than those cast by molds, so Zou Yu is not worried that someone can imitate it, nor is he worried that the common people can't.

accept!

"Except for the Yongye fields determined by official positions, the land will not be increased in the future! However, workshops, mining areas, and slaves will be rewarded!" Zou Yu dropped a bombshell again!

All dynasties have always prohibited officials from doing business, but Zou Yu didn't mind this, because it couldn't be banned. They could let their relatives or even some domestic slaves run the business.

Only wealthy families have the ability to operate and expand operations. Currently, apart from aristocratic families, these wealthy families only have officials for a few days. In order to stimulate consumption, business is also imperative, so Zou Yu prefers to leave it to his officials.

These industries!

"Take Marshal Li for example! What I have given you this time is an iron mine! Thirty years of mining rights! This power will be increased based on future merit! Slaves for iron ore mining will also be given by the court! Of course!

, In the future, if the marshal wants to increase the manpower in the mining area, he can do so as long as there are enough slaves!

All output from the mining area can only be used for civilian use! Even if the imperial court needs iron ore, it must purchase it at a price slightly lower than the market price." Zou Yu handed Li Jing an imperial edict and explained in detail.

"I am terrified! I dare not accept such a huge reward!" Li Jing was startled, holding the imperial edict in both hands and said.

"This is what the marshal deserves! Not only the marshal! Others also deserve it! It's just that some people are from mining areas, some are workshops, some are breeding farms, and even fisheries! Salt farms!" Zou Yu pressed down on Li Jing and continued.

"Are these contributions small? I'm afraid they can't be done, right?" Yang Wanchun asked.

"A workshop! According to its value, it will be divided into one hundred shares. Those who do not contribute enough will own it jointly. All matters will be decided by the shareholders! This time I have also prepared a breeding farm for you. The initial scale is two poultry farms.

Ten thousand! Two hundred skilled workers will be trained for you, and you will have to recruit the rest yourself! You will also be responsible for the wages of all workers." Zou Yu explained with a smile.

"Chen...Chen...Chen is there too? Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just that I don't have that much money to pay for my wages!" Yang Wanchun felt very surprised and stammered.

"Haha! Don't worry, General Yang. The 20,000 poultry are all fine breeds cultivated by the imperial court. As long as they are managed properly, there will be more than 100,000 in one year. Even the eggs produced will be enough to pay the wages! Not to mention the feathers.

, Succulent! You just need to arrange for someone you trust to learn from him!" Zou Yu had already expected it, and at the same time, he also thought about it, explained it to them, and immediately dispelled their concerns.

There are many rewards this time. From top to bottom, officials of the fifth rank and above have a share of the industry, including more than 3,000 fishing grounds in Liaodong, as well as salt farms to be built on the coastlines of Goguryeo and Baekje! Woolen clothing making workshops and down jacket workshops!

I also gave a few out as rewards!

The higher the official position, the more valuable the property rewarded. Except for the mining area, there is no time limit for others. It only limits some of their operating rights. For example, they can only sell in certain places, or they can only sell within a few years.

To the court!

If his subordinates are not rewarded with land, their enthusiasm will definitely not be that great. Zou Yu knows this well, but rewarded with industry is better than land! The income from the industry is also very intuitive, and those who receive the reward are naturally very happy!

Throughout the ages, land annexation has been an important reason for people's inability to survive. Zou Yu knew this very well. Therefore, the land was nationalized and no buying and selling was allowed. This point was absolutely not allowed to change.

Rewarding industries and privatizing workshops is better than state ownership. It can stimulate production and speed up the upgrading of various products!

The most important point is that with the gift of property, the hearts of everyone in the imperial court have been completely stabilized, and their last worries have been dispelled!

People like Fang Xuanling, Zhang Zhongjian, Li Jing, Han Qianxun and others are all rewarded mining areas! It can be said that people are jealous! Especially Han Qianxun and Qu Tutong actually own the two newly discovered coal mines! What are the uses of coal mines?

It is widely used. Now everyone knows that the sales volume depends entirely on the output! There is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

Although it is said that the latest coal mine can only be used as civilian fuel, equivalent to firewood, even so, there is no need to worry about selling it!

Moreover, new coins will be issued from the end of the year, and people will be able to earn wages. By then, they will not be able to make a lot of money!

A large stack of information, as well as the imperial edict, were distributed, causing waves of uncontrollable commotion! Zou Yu did not hide anything, and everyone's rewards were announced! The imperial doctor and the craftsman were the supervisor! The medical school,

Political Academy! Some who have made great contributions are also within the scope of rewards!

For the sake of fairness, all the fish ponds that have been rewarded will be raised and then re-introduced with fry! The farms are newly built and set up in places that are convenient for the reward personnel to manage. Of course, they will not take care of it themselves, they only need to arrange for trustworthy people.

Just go there.

The raising of fish ponds is part of the plan. The earliest fish ponds in Liaodong are more than five years old, and not all of them have been fished out. Considering the reproductive capabilities of fish, there are quite a few in them, mainly some big fish.

If you continue to feed fish that are two years old, they will not gain much weight, so it is not cost-effective. In later generations, I have never heard of professional fish farmers starting ponds after three years.

Breeding also requires methods, scientific breeding, and scientific planting. This is what future generations have heard! Unfortunately, Zou Yu does not understand these sciences, so he can only talk about some of what he knows, and then let them explore on their own. After so many years, there are still many

Progressive.

The purpose of starting a pond this year is not only to re-divide the fish pond, but also to replenish food! Don’t expect fresh fish, but dried fish is also a good dish, especially chewy and nutritious. It can be used to supplement the food.

Planting meat will reduce food consumption a lot.

The breeding farm will also have a large-scale slaughter this year, killing most of the males and those that lay less eggs! This is also to optimize the breed, save feed, and increase meat consumption!

Including those raised by ordinary people, they will be purchased in large quantities. To optimize the varieties, all people must participate. This will have better results and increase people's income at the same time!

The common people were afraid of poverty and did not change their past thrifty habits. They regarded poultry such as chickens and ducks that could continue to produce for the family as their lifeblood and were reluctant to eat them. This resulted in them breeding a lot, but their income was not as high as expected.
