Chapter 957: Making Money

After all, in this era, reading and learning is still out of reach for some poor children, but from another point of view, this also leads many poor families to be skeptical, after all, the government has never been so kind to provide this opportunity to the children of the people.

Therefore, it is still necessary to publicize the government's policies.

Thinking of this, Li Xinchen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, of course, all this is also guaranteed by his own reputation. I don't know how many times my reputation will be used to guarantee something, but there is no way, the people who have experienced the troubled times really don't have much trust in the imperial court, in their opinion, if the imperial court does not exploit them, it is good, how can they still hope that the imperial court can bring them benefits.

And Li Xinchen is different, Li Xinchen's policies to benefit the people are all implemented in a down-to-earth manner, and more importantly, Li Xinchen himself, as a victorious general, is already a heroic figure in the people, and the people are naturally convinced by his words.

Including the previous Qian Zhuang is also based on Li Xinchen's reputation, otherwise the major families will definitely not support Qian Zhuang so much.

Thinking of this, Li Xinchen then looked at Tang Yishun: "How is the construction of Qianzhuang now?" ”

Obviously, this is a pleasant thing, Tang Yishun replied with a smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured, everything is going according to plan, and before and after spring ploughing, the money village here in Chengdu can also operate, and now I have to worry about whether the minting of coins can keep up." ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, since the use of money, it means that the style of coins must be unified or limited to a few, but in the troubled times, commerce and trade in many places have been reduced to barter, and even if it is a place where coins are used, most of them are coins minted by the local government or even the merchants themselves, and the weight and style are very different.

Therefore, the importance of a unified currency is becoming more and more important, but the money banks in the southern counties, Ba counties and other places have begun to recycle the currency in an equivalent way, because the government and local families have taken the lead, and most of the coins are actually in the hands of the families and merchants, and there are very few in the hands of the common people, so the recovery of coins is still smooth.

But after all, it still takes a certain amount of money to mint after the coin is recycled, and the newly minted coins must be unified in size, specification and weight, which is necessarily different from the original "Daquan when ten" and "Daquan when thousand" (author's note, ancient money with the same spring) that are as thin as paper but can top more than ten or even hundreds of ordinary copper coins.

This meant that the government needed to add more copper in the process, not to mention a very complex melting and recasting process.

Therefore, Qian Zhuang did not rush to the north now, which also means that the area around Ba County and Southern County was used as an experiment.

"Take it step by step, don't panic." Li Xinchen bowed slightly. At present, the production capacity of the workshop is insufficient, so these problems are still difficult to solve in a short time, and at the same time, the lack of minerals can only hope that there can be some new discoveries in Nanzhong. According to Li Xinchen's memory, there are copper mines in this area of Guizhou, but it may be difficult to find them in a short period of time with the current exploration technology, but fortunately, the copper circulating in the market is enough to solve the problem of coin minting in Bashu.

Tang Yishun hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the new mint workshop has begun to be built, with the trial implementation of the money village in Ba County, the new copper coins will also be tried in Ba County first, and we are also actively contacting the Guan Long family and the local family in Hanzhong, and we will definitely set up a new money house in Hanzhong within this year." ”

Tang Yishun is not stupid, there is the credibility of the government as a guarantee, the importance of the money village is in everyone's eyes, basically there is a place where the money village means the flow of money, and the flow of money means the development of the economy, now the core of Bashu is not in Ba County, but in Chengdu, Li Xinchen will never allow Qian Zhuang to be limited to Ba County, delay in going north, which will lead to Ba County becoming the center of gravity of Bashu's economic development, and Xiajiang Tang will undoubtedly grasp the economic lifeline of Bashu, this is Li Xinchen and the rest of the north, Southeast and other families are absolutely not allowed.

So instead of waiting for Li Xinchen to start, it is better to actively expand to the north by yourself, and it is better to earn money together than to be targeted.

Of course, for Li Xinchen, Ba County is definitely a place worth building and developing, after all, compared to Chengdu, it is closer to Jingzhou, and at the same time, to the south is also conducive to Li Xinchen's control of Nanzhong, if it is not for the rugged terrain that restricts the development of the city, then Li Xinchen does not mind making every effort to build a new political and economic center.

As for the loyalty of the Xiajiang Tang clan, he never doubted it, mainly because although the Xiajiang Tang clan was calling for wind and rain on the Bajun side, it was too weak compared to the northern Guanlong group and the southeast Shi clan, and it was not bad for Li Xinchen to push the Xiajiang Tang clan to a position as powerful as the Guanlong group and the southeast Shi clan.

Tang Yishun and Tang Zhengliang, the heads of the Xiajiang Tang Clan, are not fools, and they should know in their hearts what to do.

"How's the preparation for spring ploughing?" Li Xinchen then turned his gaze to Tang Zhengliang, spring ploughing is actually what he is most worried about now, if spring ploughing is successful, then Li Xinchen will have enough capital to conquer the world, and if there is anything wrong in spring ploughing, Li Xinchen can only continue to wait for another year.

The people live on food.

"All the arrangements are in place, and you can start arranging them after the Lantern Festival, and then Your Highness should worship heaven and earth and smash the spring cow." Tang Zhengliang stood up, confident.

"Good!" Li Xinchen nodded, very satisfied, and Tang Zhengliang also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, His Royal Highness's attention to spring ploughing is clear to everyone, if he makes any mistakes, I am afraid that this career will come to an end.

"In addition to spring ploughing, the one who worries us the most is Nanzhong, because we are undoubtedly opening up a new piece of land." Li Xinchen's words changed, and his eyes fell on Du Qi's body.

Compared with the young patriarch who dared to fight and rush at the beginning, Du Qi now undoubtedly looks a lot more mature, and running in Nanzhong for a long time has also made his skin tanned, and he looks quite majestic.

Now almost all the connections between Li Xinchen and Nanzhong were facilitated by Du Qi, and it is precisely because of Du Qi's status as the leader of the Ba people that the various tribes in Nanzhong are naturally close to him. At the same time, Du Qi is also very smart in bringing real benefits to Nanzhong, such as gold and silver, and craftsmen, and actively helping them plan the future development blueprint.

After the fall of Shu Han, these southern and central organizations suddenly left the rule of China, and all grassroots organizations were completely chaotic and even barbaric.
