There was a hazy white area, and there was fog everywhere. I couldn't see where it was, but it seemed very familiar here.
An old woman in rags appeared in front of her and walked slowly in front of her, staggeringly.
Then Luo Mengzi's round head appeared in front of him, looking at himself with trust and said: Brother, for your ambition, brother, follow you!
Suddenly, the two people's faces were covered with blood!
Guo Shao suddenly woke up and found a strange little lady lying beside her again. The scars on the corner of her left eye and cheekbones quickly reminded Guo Shao of who it was.
He felt a little difficult to breathe. When he looked around, he saw red candles swaying, silk curtains hanging low, exquisite decorations, and red silk quilts looked like a sign of wealth.
Your Majesty, your hands are trembling.Yuqing also woke up.
Guo Shao took a deep breath and calmed down his mind: It's nothing, it's just a nightmare.
Yuqing looked at him in confusion.Guo Shao pretended to be calm and said: He led his troops to fight and killed too many people, and occasionally he could not help but come to me in his dreams.
But Guo Shao can no longer sleep... The ministers often praise him as the hero, but Guo Shao is very clear about himself. His psychological quality is not very good, lacking some kind of open-mindedness or the ruthlessness of a king.
Like the hero Cao Cao's words, I would rather let the world down than let the world down. In the blink of an eye, I can kill the old friend who warmly treated him because of a little suspicion.
Guo Shao couldn't do these things without any pressure.
As early as the morning, he got up early and changed his clothes and rushed to Jinxiang Hall.Because today is the third day of the court, the West Palace discusses affairs.
Guo Shao didn't sleep well, his head was a little dizzy, and the most obvious thing was that his eyes were heavy.However, he was able to deal with it calmly in the Political Consultative Hall, and the more than 20 people who came were all very familiar ministers.
Today's topic is crying for poverty.
The Ministry of Works was rushing to build the river embankment before the Yellow River flood season, and was short of money; the Ministry of War transferred grain and cloth from various places to pay the imperial guards and guards, believing that this method was extremely depleted in transportation and the supervision process was very difficult.
The Ministry of Revenue hinted that it would take out gold, silver, copper coins, and silk from the royal treasury that are easy to transport to make up for the national treasury deficit.
Guo Shao didn't hide it and said directly: The inner treasury has no money.
Prime Minister Fan couldn't help but reiterate the old saying, first talking about how serious it is to build the Yellow River, which is directly related to the safety of the people of the capital and countless prefectures and counties. Then he mentioned seeing imperial guards drinking flower wine and walking around the kilns on the street.
Dear generals, you really should go out of the capital and go to the people to see what life the people live, what life the soldiers live...
Shi Yanchao said coldly: Mr. Fan, you only see people eating meat, but not trying hard. Why is Xianggong Fan not in front of the battle formation? Let’s see what it looks like?
On this issue, Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao had no differences. Li Chuyun said lightly: After following His Majesty's return to the court, I have nothing to do, so I have really walked around.
Just five or six days ago, I saw an old man working hard by the Yellow River.Seeing that he was old and weak, he asked him why he would not let the young and strong family come to labor service. What did the Duke think he answered?
Everyone didn't say anything, waiting for Li Chuyun to say.
Li Chuyun said: The old man said that he had a son when he was old, and his eldest son was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he could not bear the pain of building a river. However, wealthy families paid money to bribe county officials. In order to make up enough people, the county officials could only recruit poor households like them.
After hearing this, Fan Zhi was furious and said: General Li asked which county and which official collected the money?This official must personally inquire about this matter and punish him severely!
Li Chuyun said: Mr. Fan thought that punishing a minor official could change the situation of officials being greedy for money and meat in the people?
Shi Yanchao smiled and said: This is a good statement.Brothers follow the official family for a lifetime and die. The rewards are the imperial grains that are taken openly, which is better than those who come to the people who secretly make fish and meat!
Guo Shao was a little impatient after listening for a long time.
When the Ministry of Revenue minting coins, it basically uses grain, copper ore, etc. to exchange for copper coins, which is a loss-making transaction; this is nothing, anyway, the tax materials in various places are still relatively abundant.
But the coins minted now are completely a drop in the bucket. The copper coins spent by the treasury are transported by carts, and the demand is too great.
He can't make any money either.I also realized that the strategy of centralization and strong trunks and weak branches outweighs the disadvantages, but once the old rules of the military system are changed, all aspects will be affected, and there are many problems when implementing it.
Since the imperial power and the imperial court have great autocracy, can the state's fiscal expenditure not be paid?
Of course not, because now it is not a slave society, and people in various industries cannot be forced to plunder or enslave people without compensation, otherwise the society will regress.
The officials of the court have to spend money to do things.
The ministers could not argue with each other, but Guo Shao could not say that I had no choice. He was the emperor and his attitude must be stable.
Guo Shao immediately spoke: This matter...
Everyone's argument stopped, and the Political Consultative Hall became much quieter for a while.
Guo Shao said calmly: In recent years, I have rarely heard of drought, flood, natural disasters, famine, etc., and generally, the weather is good everywhere.Last time, Zan Jurun proposed the "cooked manure method", which greatly improved the harvest.As long as people in the world have food and clothing, nothing is not a problem and there is always a way to solve it.
When everyone heard this, it really made sense. Anyway, everyone can't starve to death. How serious can it be? Isn't this the reason?Everyone immediately said: Your Majesty is wise!
Today, we will discuss politics and nothing else will be gone.Guo Shao immediately waved his sleeves.
Guo Shao left the seat and went to the study room, and saw Jing Niang waiting there.
Jingniang walked up and took out a metal lump from a cloth pocket and placed it on the table.
Without waiting for Jing Niang to speak, Guo Shao reached out to pick it up and observed. A very strange thing seemed to be ore, but it was obviously a melted metal.
He didn't recognize it for a moment.
This is silver.Jingniang said.
silver?Guo Shao was a little confused and felt that it was very different, because the silver was at least white, and this thing was not much gray.
Jingniang said: The things brought back by the people of the Bingcaosi were purchased from Shanyindao of Dongdao.After seeing it, the officials of the Jiafang Office said it was silver, but it was just crude silver.There are silver, lead, copper and other things mixed together, making it look bad.Maybe it is because the people of the Yamano Island Island cannot refine silver, so it is so.
After hearing this, Guo Shao suddenly realized it and asked again: What kind of mineral is there like Shanyindao?
Jing Niang looked slightly embarrassed: I don’t know either.
Guo Shao pondered again: If you can't even refine silver, you must have poor mining skills, but you can make blocks of silver ore, which must be open-pit silver ore.If we dig deeper, we will definitely gain something.
Guo Shao played with the thing in his hand, and for a moment, he seemed to see a vast white light in the dark!
He believed in Japan's state-owned silver mines.
Information was developed in later generations, and he saw that there were many mountains of gold and silver in the country. At this time, the ancients' sporadic inquiries verified this information again.
So Guo Shao felt that the credibility was higher.
Guo Shao said: You meet the masterpieces and merchants who have been to Dongdao in person, and then report to me.In addition to the news of precious minerals, there are also the national affairs, military, population, ships and other matters of the East Island. Anyone who can be found can be reported.
Jingniang clasped her fists and said: Yes.
Guo Shao stood up, paced back and forth behind the screen, and rubbed it together for a few times.
He suddenly felt a little impetuous and was tempted to panic... It was when he was so poor that he suddenly found a mountain of gold and silver. This feeling was like a person who had been hungry for three days, and could not control himself when he saw a fragrant chicken leg.
Money, cash for easy transportation!It can solve many problems for Guo Shao!
Especially for the brothers of the Imperial Guard, Guo Shao certainly would not listen to the opinions of some civil officials and reduce their treatment.
Two reasons: 1. Those brothers were encouraged by themselves to serve the country and the people, and conquered the country with all kinds of bright and noble righteousness. Guo Shao couldn't bear to treat them badly.
2. The recruitment system and policy of strong trunk and weak branches he implemented require sufficient financial support from the imperial center, because if he cannot give people a ban, he will give people other benefits.
Where did the money come from?
It is absolutely impossible to issue paper money!
In history, the tapestry papers of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes all used the advanced inspiration of failure to prove that without a professional financial system, paper money cannot be played.
Establishing credit is also a problem. At the beginning, everyone did not accept the value of a piece of paper; once they invested a lot of effort to establish credit for paper money, it would be easy to destroy with the current backward system.
Anyway, it's not a good thing.
Using precious metals, gold, silver and copper to mint coins can solve all side effects.It has value in itself, and for thousands of years, it has allowed the world to accept its value.
Guo Shao seemed to see piles of gold and copper coins and white silver coins coming out of the workshop in batches and transporting them directly to the national treasury. He was rich and powerful. He would do whatever he wanted in his future strategy and use his troops if he wanted to use troops!
His emotions gradually became excited. Although he was still calm in appearance, walking around there and doing some trivial actions had already exposed his inner uneasiness.
Guo Shao turned around and said: Come, call Han Tong to meet him.
The eunuch's voice said: I obey the order.
The power of money is still very strong, and it can directly affect the military strategy of the entire Daxu Dynasty at once.
Guo Shao now feels that Liao and Hexi are not the most urgent opponents. Even the superpower Liao Kingdom dare not take the initiative to mess with Da Xu. First, the Battle of Youzhou has just been defeated, and second, the Battle of Pingxia has also intimidated them.
You can temporarily slow down... but it is urgent to grab the gold and silver mountains!
Guo Shao is short of money every day, and he must follow his personal wishes. He will definitely want to take over Shanyin next month and dig out some from the mountain of gold and silver to solve the urgent problem.
But it’s just thinking about it, and it still takes time to prepare. The key is that East Island is too far away for the current Central Plains. The East China Sea is wide and stormy, not that it cannot be won, but it cannot be reached.
But Guo Shao had already made a decision in his heart and wanted to find a way to mine.
An old woman in rags appeared in front of her and walked slowly in front of her, staggeringly.
Then Luo Mengzi's round head appeared in front of him, looking at himself with trust and said: Brother, for your ambition, brother, follow you!
Suddenly, the two people's faces were covered with blood!
