"What the two lovers said is very true." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "I called everyone here today to discuss this matter!"

"Your Majesty, the advantages of the government-run iron smelting workshop are indeed very obvious!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said: "I also feel that we must vigorously develop the iron smelting industry and vigorously establish government-run iron smelting workshops!"

Several other ministers also put forward suggestions one after another, to vigorously set up large-scale government-run iron smelting workshops!
"Everything you say makes sense!" Ying Zigao nodded repeatedly: "I have decided that in Guanzhong, Hedong County, Jiaodong County, Yuyang County, etc., there are rich coal and iron mines, convenient transportation and water power. Where resources are available, set up government-run iron smelting workshops!"

As he spoke, Ying Zigao said with a serious face: "Every iron smelting workshop should be newly established as a large-scale comprehensive workshop. From mining, smelting metals, to making weapons, farm tools, and tools, everything should be concentrated. Together!"

"I understand!" the ministers hurriedly said.

"Leave this matter to your Ministry of Industry."

Ying Zigao said to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "We must follow the model of the first government-run iron smelting workshop, sum up more successful experiences, and build these government-run workshops as soon as possible!"

"Wei Chen must do his best to build the iron smelting workshop as soon as possible!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry hastily agreed.

"Your Majesty, to set up a large-scale government-run iron smelting workshop, the capital required to invest is not a fraction!"

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "According to His Majesty's will, at least more than 30 large-scale iron smelting workshops will be established. Where will the money come from?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant of the household department also said hastily: "This amount of money is not a small amount! At least 100 million yuan is needed!

Not only that, the army attacked the Huns this time and won a big victory, regaining the land of Henan. In addition to building the Great Wall, they also need to station defensive troops! "

The servant of the household department said with a worried face: "The food and grass supplies needed by the garrison are not a small sum of expenses. There is also the Northern Expedition Army. After the squadron returned, the rewards for the soldiers and the rewards for the meritorious officers and soldiers were also a big deal. Small expense!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly frowned.

Now whenever something happens, the Ministry of Household Affairs will come out and complain about poverty.

Finance is really the top priority of the imperial court!

The Ministry of Household Affairs kept calling for poverty. In addition to financial pressure, what was hidden was the dissatisfaction of bureaucratic landlords and businessmen with their lower taxes and exemption from corvee.

If you want to use this method, let yourself make compromises, there is no door!
His shadow Gao will never make any changes to the decisions made and the edicts issued.

Isn't it just to increase financial revenue? Ying Zigao has plenty of ways!

"By the way, Yuhuatian, Liu Bowen, how about the rules and regulations of Yantie official camp?"

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao immediately asked Liu Bowen and Yuhuatian seriously.

"Your Majesty, I am organizing the officials to formulate carefully!"

Yu Huatian hurriedly said: "The progress is also very smooth, and the formulation will be completed soon!"

"Speed ​​up!" Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "The system of Yantie official camp must be implemented as soon as possible!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yuhuatian and Liu Bowen hurriedly agreed.

"How is the progress of the government-run salt factory in the East China Sea?"

Ying Zigao immediately asked with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, the official office is progressing smoothly!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said: "The minister who supervised the saltworks sent by His Majesty, after arriving at the Donghai Saltworks, strictly supervised and solved many problems! According to the report he sent, the progress is still very smooth!"

"How long will it take to build and put into production?"

Ying Zigao asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, there is still at least half a month to go into production!" the minister of the Ministry of Industry said hurriedly.

"The commissioning of the salt field should be accelerated as much as possible while ensuring the quality!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly said loudly!

As soon as the meeting ended, Ying Zigao approved the report sent by the Ministry of Industry, and agreed to allocate 100 million copper coins from the treasury to vigorously set up government-run iron smelting workshops!

"It's 100 million yuan again!" On the bamboo slips of the memorial, a word "Ke" was written.Ying Zigao couldn't help but frowned slightly, and after spending such a large amount of money, the financial pressure was even greater!

We have to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure!

However, this is not difficult for Ying Zigao.The past dynasties of China, and the later generations of European and American countries all have a lot of financial means and experience in making money!
He, Ying Zigao, can completely adopt the policy of using it and boldly learn from it!

The next morning, after going down to court, Ying Zigao came to Shi Huangdi's bedroom to visit Shi Huangdi.

"I heard that during this period of time, you are vigorously building a government-run iron smelting workshop?"

After the father and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, Emperor Shi Huang asked seriously.

"That's right, Father." Ying Zi Gao said hurriedly: "The first reason for doing this is to concentrate manpower and material resources and adopt advanced technology to improve the output and quality of ironware.

The second is to reduce costs and promote more advanced agricultural tools, so that farmers can use high-quality and cheap advanced agricultural tools, promote agricultural development, and enhance national strength! "

"I think what you are most concerned about is the tax revenue brought by the Yantie government?"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Shihuang smiled disapprovingly.

"What the father said is that this aspect is also an important reason!"

Qin Shihuang saw through his thoughts at a glance, Ying Zigao couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said with some embarrassment.

"The most important thing for the imperial court is finance and taxation!"

Qin Shihuang smiled slightly, and said seriously: "There is nothing to be ashamed of finding ways to make money! The key is to consider the acceptance of the people and not make trouble!"

"Father taught me that." Ying Zi Gao hurriedly said.

Then he said seriously: "Father, my son has implemented the official operation of salt and iron, and has adopted advanced technology, which has greatly improved the production efficiency and quality of iron smelting!

The cost of ironware has been greatly reduced, even if it is sold at double the profit, it is much cheaper than the price of ironware in the world!The quality is far superior! "

"It couldn't be better like this!" Qin Shihuang nodded and said: "My father also saw that the weapons of the palace guards have all been made of steel! The performance is also very good! Those guards are very fond of the new weapons. Full of praise!"

"In the government-run saltworks built in the East China Sea, Erchen vigorously adopted new technologies."

Ying Zigao went on to say: "Once it is completed and put into production, the production cost of table salt will be greatly reduced, and the quality will be greatly improved!

At that time, even if we sell it at double the profit, the price of salt in the world can be greatly reduced! "

"It would be great if we could reduce the price of salt and iron while ensuring the imperial court's financial benefits!"
