Chapter nine hundred and fifty seventh making money
Having the opportunity to study and study is very important to many people. After all, in this era, studying and studying is still out of reach for some children from poor families. But from another perspective, this also leads to
Many poor people are skeptical about this. After all, no government has ever been so kind as to provide this opportunity to ordinary people's children.
Therefore, it is still necessary to publicize government policies.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Of course, all of this was guaranteed by his own credibility. He didn't know how many times his credibility would be used to guarantee something, but there was no way around it. People who had experienced troubled times
They really don't have much trust in the imperial court. In their opinion, it would be good if the imperial court does not exploit them. How can they expect that the imperial court can bring them benefits.
Li Xingchen was different personally. Li Xingchen's policies to benefit the people were actually implemented. More importantly, Li Xingchen himself, as a victorious general, was already a heroic figure among the people. Naturally, the people were mostly convinced by his words.
.
Including the previous banks, they were also based on Li Xingchen's reputation, otherwise the major aristocratic families would not support the banks so much.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen then looked at Tang Yishun: "How is the construction of the bank now?"
Obviously this was a satisfying thing. Tang Yishun replied with a smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured that everything is going on step by step. When the spring plowing comes around, the banks here in Chengdu will be able to operate. Now we have to worry about the ability of the coins to be minted."
The problem of not being able to keep up.”
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. Since a bank is used, it means that the styles of coins must be unified or limited to a few types. However, in troubled times, commerce in many places has been reduced to bartering, and even places where coins are used
Most of them are coins minted by local governments or even merchants themselves, and their weight and style vary greatly.
Therefore, the importance of unified currency is becoming more and more important. Banks in Nannan County, Bajun and other places have begun to recycle currencies in an equal value way, because the government and local aristocratic families have taken the lead in the action, and most of the coins are actually
There are very few coins in the hands of aristocratic families and merchants, but in the hands of ordinary people, so the recovery of coins is relatively smooth.
But after all, it still costs a certain amount of money to recast coins after they are recycled, and the newly minted coins must have the same size, specifications and weight, unlike the original ones that are as thin as paper but can hold more than ten or even hundreds or thousands of ordinary copper coins.
"A big spring is worth ten" and "a big spring is worth a thousand" (author's note, ancient money has the same spring) are definitely different.
This means that the government needs to replenish more copper during this process, and it also requires a very complicated melting and recasting process.
Therefore, the Qianzhuang has not rushed northward. This also means using Bajun and Nanfang County as an experiment.
"Proceed step by step, don't panic." Li Xingchen nodded slightly. The current workshop's production capacity is insufficient, so these problems are still difficult to solve in a short time. At the same time, due to the lack of minerals, we can only hope that there will be some new discoveries in Nanzhong.
.According to Li Xingchen's memory, there are copper mines in this area of Guizhou, but with current exploration technology, it may be difficult to find them in a short time. Fortunately, the copper currently circulating on the market is enough to solve the coin casting problem within Bashu.
.
Tang Yishun said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the construction of a new coin workshop has begun. As the bank is trialled in Bajun, the new copper coins will also be trialled in Bajun first. In addition, we are also actively contacting the Guanlong family.
We and the local aristocratic families in Hanzhong will definitely establish a new bank in Hanzhong within this year."
Tang Yishun is not stupid. With the credibility of the government as a guarantee, everyone sees the importance of banks. Basically, where there are banks, it means the flow of money, and the flow of money means economic development. Now Bashu
The core of the bank is not in Bajun, but in Chengdu. Li Xingchen will never allow the bank to be limited to Bajun and delay going north. This will cause Bajun to become the focus of Bashu's economic development, and the Xiajiang Tang family will undoubtedly
Controlling the economic lifeline of Bashu is something that Li Xunchen and other aristocratic families in the north, southeast and so on will absolutely not allow.
Therefore, instead of waiting for Li Xingchen to take action, it is better to seize the opportunity and actively expand northward. It is better for everyone to make money together than to be targeted.
Of course, for Li Xinchen, Bajun is definitely a place worthy of construction and development. After all, compared to Chengdu, it is closer to Jingzhou. At the same time, the south direction is also conducive to Li Xinchen's control of Nanzhong. If the rugged terrain does not limit the development of the city,
So Li Xingchen doesn't mind going all out to build a new political and economic center.
As for the loyalty of the Xiajiang Tang Clan, he has never doubted it. This is mainly because although the Xiajiang Tang Clan is powerful in Bajun, it is too weak compared to the Guanlong Group in the north and the southeastern gentry.
It would not hurt Li Xinchen to push the Xiajiang Tang clan to a position as powerful as the Guanlong Group and the Southeastern gentry.
Tang Yishun, Tang Zhengliang and other leaders of the Xiajiang Tang Family are not fools. They should know what to do.
"How are you preparing for spring plowing?" Li Xingchen then turned his attention to Tang Zhengliang. Spring plowing is actually what he is most worried about now. If spring plowing succeeds, then Li Xingchen will have enough capital to conquer the world. And if spring plowing succeeds, Li Xingchen will have enough capital to conquer the world.
If anything goes wrong, Li Xingchen will have no choice but to wait another year.
Food is the most important thing for people.
"Everything has been arranged. We can start decorating it after the Lantern Festival. At that time, Your Highness should worship the heaven and earth and crush the spring ox." Tang Zhengliang stood up, confident.
"Okay!" Li Xingchen nodded, very satisfied, and Tang Zhengliang also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that His Highness attached great importance to spring plowing. If he made any mistakes, his career would probably come to an end.
"Besides spring plowing, what I'm most worried about is Nanzhong, because we are undoubtedly opening up a new land." Li Xingchen changed the subject, and his eyes immediately fell on Du Qi.
Compared with the young patriarch who dared to fight and charge, Du Qi now undoubtedly looks much more mature, and running around in Nanzhong for a long time has also made his skin tanned, making him look quite majestic.
Now, almost all the connections that Li Xingchen has with Nanzhong were facilitated by Du Qi, and it is precisely because of Du Qi's status as the leader of the Ba people that various tribes in Nanzhong are naturally close to him. At the same time, Du Qi is also very
The smart ones not only brought tangible benefits to Nanzhong, such as gold, silver, and craftsmen, but also actively helped them plan their future development blueprint.
After the demise of the Shu Han, these southern tribes suddenly left the Chinese rule, and all grassroots organizations were completely chaotic and even turned barbaric. (To be continued)
