my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It's been too long, not to mention being lonely, even all the subjects of Qianguo can't afford to wait! The first compilation doesn't need to be perfect, the times are changing, civilization is improving, and the laws must conform to the present. In view of the current situation, you may wait ten years to complete the compilation of this great dictionary, but many of the articles are no longer suitable for the current situation. Wouldn’t it be a waste of work? I will give you a year at most, and every three years in the future Revise once every five or ten years to gradually improve the content of the Dà fǎ Dictionary, and you can also revise outdated terms!"

The 36 officials immediately discussed in low voices after hearing the words, and after a while, all of them bowed to Zhao Junsheng together: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"That being the case, this matter is settled! I will give you three days to deal with family affairs, pack your bags and report to Pei Jin, and he will arrange a quiet place for you to compile the dà fǎ dictionary.

You were not allowed to disclose what happened today to anyone before, not even family members! "

Every official present was extremely excited about being able to participate in the compilation of the founding ceremony. This is a field they are familiar with and a field they are passionate about researching. This is also an opportunity to make a name for themselves and be recorded in history. It is impossible to ask for it, and all the officials immediately agreed: "I will obey your orders!"

The matter of the horse policy has always been a concern of Zhao Junsheng. It has been ten months since the promulgation of the horse policy. After giving birth to the first child and growing up, it is ready to sell.

According to the growth cycle of sheep, three litters can be produced in two years, and the first two litters can be sold, and the lambs born in the second and third years must be kept and returned to the government.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng asked Dongfang Chen to ask, "The animals raised by the farmers, such as the first batch of sheep, are ready for sale?"

Dongfang Chen returned and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! But at present, the situation seems to be a bit bad!"

Zhao Junsheng said quickly: "How do you say? What's wrong?"

"Because the government issued a decree to set the minimum purchase price for grain and livestock, those grain merchants and livestock dealers thought the minimum purchase price was too high, and they were worried that they would not find a market, so no one was willing to sell! The grain and livestock in the hands of farmers If they can’t sell, they can’t realize it, and they don’t have the money to buy other daily necessities. In order to realize it as soon as possible, the farmers are likely to reach a private deal with grain merchants and livestock merchants regardless of the minimum purchase price stipulated by the court. In this way, The farmers have lost too much!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned and asked, "Do you have any solution?"

Dongfang Chen sighed and shook his head: "I'm stupid, I haven't thought of a solution yet!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a long time, and said: "Well, since those merchants have too much appetite and are not greedy enough to swallow elephants, then let them out of the game! The imperial court ordered the prohibition of free buying and selling of grain and livestock, and the imperial court will take over the entire purchase of agricultural products. For the grain and livestock in the hands of the people, the county and county governments around the country were ordered to deploy officials to set up grain and livestock stations, and the officials at the grain and livestock stations opened grain stores, slaughterhouses, and butcher shops to sell grain and meat to urban residents and villagers, solving the problems of urban residents. The demand for grain and meat! In order to prevent officials from taking the iron rice bowl and passively slowing down their work and implementing a reward policy, whoever sells more grain and meat and earns more will be given a certain reward or share, and priority will also be given to promotion!"

To be honest, Zhao Junsheng doesn't know much about how to govern the country, but he has historical experience to refer to. Anyway, he is crossing the river by feeling the stones. If there are mistakes and deviations in the route, he should adjust it in time.

Zhao Junsheng decided to adopt the method of direct government control and intervention, which can protect the interests of farmers to a certain extent. Even if they have no money, farmers can at least have food to eat and will not starve to death. If they are more diligent, they can find some wasteland to grow hemp Weaving, fishing with nets, and going out to work in spare time can transfer some money to supplement the family.

When the time is right, the grain and livestock markets will be released, and the market will enter a period where the government will occasionally intervene in prices.Although this approach limits economic development to a certain extent, it can maintain social stability and alleviate social class conflicts.

Waiting for the authority of the imperial court and the government to be established, so that everyone realizes that the government cannot be directly confronted and cannot ignore the court's decrees for some interests, businessmen will behave themselves, and the market will become more and more standardized.However, in order to maintain the stability of social order, the government cannot completely let go of the market and let it go, because the productivity has not yet reached a certain level, and the material conditions are limited. If a few people gather the materials together, there will definitely be problems. of.

Once Zhao Junsheng’s decree was promulgated to control the purchase of grain and livestock by the court and the government, the merchants were dumbfounded. Now, they are not greedy enough to swallow elephants, but the court directly refused to let them enter. Looking outside the market.

A family of grain stores and butcher shops in various counties and counties had to close their doors due to lack of supply, while grain stores, slaughterhouses, and butcher shops opened by government grain and animal stations sprung up to take over the market and undertake the responsibility of supplying goods to the vast cities and towns. and township

Residents are tasked with selling food and meat.

The farmers are relieved, the grain they grow and the animals they feed are bought by the government. As long as they send it to the grain and animal station, they can get cash immediately. The price is much higher than the price given by those grain merchants and livestock dealers in previous years. Now, people go straight to the current king Shengming Rende.

Dongfang Chen reported to Zhao Junsheng this day: "My lord, the old problem has been solved, but now a new problem has arisen!"

Zhao Junsheng was not surprised by this matter. There must be various problems in the court's control. Since there are problems, he should find a way to solve them. He asked: "What's wrong again, let's talk about it!"

Dongfang Chen said: "In recent years, the number of fields under our jurisdiction has increased a lot. In addition, the people who have their own fields are working hard and implementing intensive farming methods. The grain production has greatly increased, but the population has not increased much. Nowadays, the purchase and sales of grain and livestock are controlled by local governments to meet the needs of the people, but there is still a large amount of surplus grain hoarding, and there are too many livestock left, and a large amount of fodder is needed for daily raising, which is quite expensive! In terms of food, even if Leaving three years of hoarding as a reserve for the famine year is still a lot more, if the hoarding time is too long, it will definitely rot!"

"In addition, in terms of livestock, if meat is sold to the people at the current price, it can barely keep the imperial court and local governments in surplus. However, if the price of meat is lowered, even though more people can afford meat, the imperial court and local governments The government is going to suffer a lot of losses!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Can you think of any solutions to solve these problems?"

Remember Aishang in 1 second:

Chapter 662 Minting coins

Dongfang Chen cupped his hands and said: "I discussed with my colleagues and subordinates and felt that the problem of excessive grain reserves should be solved. On the premise of three years of grain reserves for emergency disaster relief, the surplus grain from the grain-producing areas can be transported to the food-deficient areas. region, the freight and loss on the way will be borne by the receiving place, and any excess food can be sold to neighboring forces and other small countries!"

"For the problem of too many livestock, the ministers think that they should consider selling them to the Southern Dynasty and Guanzhong at a high price. In particular, the Southern Dynasty has a large demand for meat. The imperial court can send envoys to the Southern Dynasty to restore normal exchanges between the two countries and lift the hostility. The emperor discussed the issue of business exchanges between the two countries, so that our dynasty can buy some special products of the Southern Dynasty such as porcelain, tea, and silk from the Southern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty can also buy special products such as livestock, furs, and medicinal materials from our country!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Have you taken the military's needs into consideration?"

Dongfang Chen said: "I've already considered it. This is the result after including all the grain and meat needed by the military!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a long time, and agreed with Dongfang Chen's plan: "Yes! A part of the surplus grain can be reserved for wine making. Wine brings more value than grain. Folk wine making can be encouraged, but the supply must be controlled to ensure that Food supply in the market!"

"understand!"

At the court meeting the next day, Zhao Junsheng said to the ministers: "I have not long established the country, and I still need to cultivate and live with the people, so we must suspend the war with the surrounding countries, ease the situation, and develop normal diplomatic relations with them! Gu intends to send The envoys are sent to the Southern Dynasty, Bingzhou, Guanzhong, Beiliang, and Rouran, what do you think?"

Gao Yun stood up and bowed to him and said: "Your Majesty is wise! We have just established our country, and there are many things, and we have successively issued decrees to benefit the people. The country needs stability. At this time, we will stop the army and truce to ease the situation with the surrounding countries, and then send envoys It is a wise move, I think it is most important to send envoys to the Southern Dynasty!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "I wonder which Qing family is willing to go to the Southern Dynasty?"

Cui Hao thought for a while, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend someone. My cousin Fan Yang Lu Xuan has a great talent. He was a doctor in the Pingcheng court before. , if talents like Lu Xuan are buried, it will be a great loss to our country!"

Originally, there were other ministers in the palace who wanted to recommend themselves or recommend others. After all, going to the Southern Dynasty was a rare experience, and it would be good for future promotions. The ministers who recommended others have given up their years, and no longer argue with Cui Hao, so as not to offend him.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, and said, "Xuan Luxuan is coming to Beijing to see you!"

"According to the order!"

At this time, Zhang Wei, Shang of the household department, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have this performance!"

"Speak!"

Zhang Wei immediately said: "Since the beginning of Cao Wei, the casting of coins has been decreasing day by day. After the Jin Dynasty went south, the casting of coins stopped completely. The northern countries all used the coins of the previous dynasty. Since then, whether it is the government or the people, most of the transactions are barter, and coins are rarely used. Even the military and the government distribute rewards in kind. Now that our country has just been established, private transactions have increased greatly. The situation of bartering is no longer in line with the situation, and it has seriously hindered private transactions!"

"Therefore, I suggest that the imperial court mint the coins of the current dynasty, flood the market with new coins, and settle transactions with coins, replacing the way of barter and the circulation of the old coins of the previous dynasty!"

Zhao Junsheng was shocked when he heard Zhang Wei's words. He has long been tired of bartering. The way of bartering is too troublesome and has greatly hindered economic development. Zhao Junsheng has never understood the way of bartering. Qin, Hou Zhao, Northern Wei and other dynasties didn't mint coins. Later he knew how these barbarians understood the importance of coins to the country. Barbarians have been living a life of barter, and they are used to it. No coins will be minted.

Ever since Zhao Junsheng served as governor of Youzhou, he has been too busy, and minting coins before the founding of the country would easily arouse the suspicion of the Northern Wei court. Now that Zhao Junsheng has established the country, he wants to change this situation, and now he has this opportunity.

"Gu also has been thinking about this issue, today Zhang

When you talk about minting coins, let's discuss it together! "

Many people in this hall used to be officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Before that, some people in the Northern Wei court proposed to the emperor to mint coins for market circulation, but the Xianbei people obviously have not yet entered the civilized age from barbarism. Trouble, bartering is easier for them. For example, how many chickens can be exchanged for a sheep, and the price can be settled at one price.

Therefore, several proposals to mint coins were rejected in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

There are all wise and shrewd people present, how can they not understand how important coins are to a country's economy?So all the ministers agreed one after another, and the matter was passed without resistance.

Cui Hao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although it is not easy to mint coins, it is not difficult, but it is a bit troublesome to solve the copper and lead needed for minting coins. It is necessary to find copper and lead mines!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Written to the local government, let them send people to find the mine, the court will reward those who find it!"

Kou Qianzhi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to talk about finding a mine, but the matter of coin casting is not easy to cast, and the size, regulation, shape, denomination, etc. of the coin must be determined, as well as the casting method! "

The ministers immediately expressed their opinions and ideas. Some people think that the square hole and round coins of the Qin Dynasty can be used, and the weight is five baht;

Zhao Junsheng had a headache when he heard it, and finally tried his best to reject all opinions: "Abolish the five baht coins, and the new coins will follow the shape of the square hole round coins in the Qin Dynasty. One tael, one thousand Wen weighs six catties and two taels! There are three denominations of coins, namely one Wen, five Wen and ten Wen. Wenhe Shiwen!"

Although there are only a few words, it stipulates the shape, weight, and face value of coins. At the same time, it also stipulates that the weight unit is equivalent to two baht and four silks, ten coins is one tael, and 16 taels is a catty.

Next, Zhao Junsheng ordered Liu He, Zuo Cheng, to be appointed as the doctor of the newly established coin minting department, in charge of coin minting. The coin minting department was hung under the household department as a subordinate organization of the household department.
