"Why? What is the two thousand taels of silver enough to pay the salaries of these craftsmen and workers? Liu Hong said dissatisfied. With-Dream- . com

At present, there are more than 20,000 miners and craftsmen of all kinds in Hada Mountain, plus the need to send troops to guard and protect them. For whom are you working hard and for whom?

"My lord, it's enough, most of the more than 20,000 miners are mites, only a small half are Menggu people, mites don't need to be paid, just give them food, and most of the Menggu people are refugees from Chahar.

I promised them two years of mining here, and then I would give them sheep and cattle and pasture, and I would not have to pay them any money. Baba muttered quietly.

"Yes, my lord, we only need to pay for the salaries and grain of the craftsmen and soldiers, and the silver mine of Hada Mountain is easy to mine, as long as the men are ready, we can make a small hundred thousand taels of silver in a month after removing the expenses.

This is a big deal for the imperial court. Yin Jingsheng arched his hand, and he was unhappy with Liu Hongji's disdain.

The silver mine in Yunnan has been excavated for several years, the tunnel is getting deeper and deeper, and the mountainous and rainy terrain and complex road conditions over there have long been no output.

Not everyone in the Ming Dynasty can smelt silver ingots, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for mining and smelting, and the Ministry of Household is responsible for collecting and transferring silver nuggets to the capital, and there is a special one in the Ministry of Household in the capital

"Hmm...... This is the king's abruptness, you are doing a one-handed business to make money, but if the miners are willing to contribute, and do not beat, scold and abuse, the quality and quantity of food must be guaranteed. ”

Liu Hong gradually stroked the stubble on his chin and thought about it.

He saw that almost half of the manpower was spent on transporting the ore, and the mountain roads were rugged and the effort was far more than mining.

Is it possible to design a downhill machine similar to a cable car? Liu Hong gradually said in his heart.

Hada Mountain is not high, just choose a slightly gentler mountain, pave the rootstock can greatly speed up the transportation, but also greatly save manpower.

Well, I'll talk to Uncle Song when I get back.

It can provide the imperial court with an additional nearly one million taels of silver a year, which is indeed worth the effort.

It's just that Liu Hongjian is still not very satisfied, the Ming Empire has such a vast land and so many people, and the income of the imperial court is extremely pitiful compared to the huge base.

It is a pity that a small silver mine can make the imperial court like a treasure.

On the way back, Liu Hongjian has been thinking about how to open up the source and seek more ways to make money for his uncle, he himself does not support throttling, which is similar to the principle of saving money.

Money is not to become rich by blindly saving, the best way to become rich is to work hard to earn more, what is the need to save from between your teeth?

"My lord, I have something I want to discuss with you." Baba Lama patted the horse and Liu Hong gradually walked side by side, and whispered.

"What's the matter, say!" For this reckless man who is thick and fine but not fine, Liu Hongjian still likes it very much.

"My youngest daughter Qiqige is also eight years old this year, I wonder if I want her to follow the adults to the capital to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I wonder if the adults can help me find a way?" Baba said.

"Is it the little doll that King saw last time he went to your house?" Liu Hongjian searched in his mind.

"Yes, my lord, that's what it is."

“e…… Your daughter seems to have an opinion about this king! "The last time I took away the fat tiger, the little Lori almost chased him with a knife, Liu Hong couldn't help but joke.

"Hey, her aunt went early, I'm a little used to it, but she has no ill will towards the prince." Babara said embarrassedly.

"The boss of your family was also sent to the martial arts hall by you." Liu Honggradually remembered that the kid Le Shulu, he didn't believe that Baba was completely out of love for Han culture.

"I don't know a few big words in my life, and I rely on brute force to fight and fight, so I want to let the boss of my family learn some skills, I heard that it is the idea of the adult to talk about martial arts in the Jingshi, and I think it is right to go with the adult......" Baba La grinned.

"Don't be a sycophant, who did you learn this from? Go and go, for the king is in charge of them. Liu Hong gradually said angrily.

Thinking that since Kunxing married into his family, Zhaoren's little Lori didn't even have a playmate, so he could be a companion if he was qualified.

It's just that I never expected that a few months later, Liu Hong's intestines would be regretted for this decision.

"Hey, I've thanked you." Babara said happily.

The reason why he did this is that he himself advocates Han culture is only one of them, he is the governor of Menggu in charge of money, grain, army, and various political affairs in Menggu Province, and he is actually a feudal official of the country.

It's just that this power seems to be beautiful, but it is very easy to be suspicious of the royal family, and sending the second daughter to the capital is also to let the court reassure him, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.

When he returned to the governor's mansion, Baba called him to Liu Hongji.

He was dressed in a purple and cyan Menggu clan robe, with two carefully woven braids on his shoulders protecting his fair little face, and a touch of gold and jade hair ornaments on his forehead.

"What are you still stunned about, come and see the prince!" Baba said solemnly.

"I know you, you're the bad uncle who masturbated my little black dog last year." Qi Qige was not afraid of deliberately pretending to be a serious father at all, but stretched out his green little finger and pointed at Liu Hong.

"Presumptuous! Must not be without ......"

"You mean Fat Tiger? This king is serving delicious food and drink every day, and it is good in the capital now! Liu Hong gradually waved his hand to stop Babala's anger, and said to him with a smile.

"Daddy said you want to take me to the capital, will I be able to see Xiao Hei?" He was serious.

"Of course, not only can you meet Xiao Hei, but there are also many delicious and fun things!" Liu Honggradually liked this heroic Mongolian little princess, and wondered when his two little padded jackets would grow up.

"Daddy, he is willing to go to the capital, but what if I want to be daddy." Qiqige was originally opposed to Babala's arrangement, and although the opposition had little effect, at least it was not so rebellious now.

"It's okay, if you're homesick, the king can send you back to visit your relatives." Menggu Province is not far from Jingshi, and it will only take about ten days to travel under the fast horse, Liu Hong gradually said casually.

After appeasing him, Liu Hong gradually returned to the barracks, and after some consultation, the three hundred households of the Shenji Battalion and more than a dozen small flag officers spontaneously agreed to go to Chahar as instructors.

Liu Honggradually needed a more detailed understanding of Chahar's army layout and the national economy and people's livelihood, and Xie Xinghua, deputy of Jinyiwei, as the leader of a group of instructors, was also arranged among them.

On the second day, Xie Xinghua rushed to Chahar with 17 instructors of the Shenji Battalion, and Liu Hongjian also completed the arrangements and took the remaining more than 20,000 Beijing battalion soldiers to the capital.

On the second day of September, the capital is in sight......
