Section 0631 First Quasi-Cabinet Meeting

Tang Zhenguan Qianfang, Du, Xiao, Gao, Tang and so on......

All of them are powerful people who stand alone, and as soon as they talk to each other, they come up with a draft that can be implemented.

And then......

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once again became a coolie of Liumu, and this time he went to Wadao to appease the people who selected conscripts and miners, so that these people redoubled their efforts to dig up silver for the Tang Dynasty.

"Father, you still need to go to Kagoshima first, personally canonize Falto, give a surname, and seal the county prince or something." Yanagi reminded in a low voice.

Li Yuan didn't give Liu Mu a good look, and Liu Mu began to coax again: "Father, you must not have seen a volcanic eruption with your own eyes, you have never tried sand steaming, and you have never eaten a five-foot-long big fish." Kagoshima has it all. ”

Li Yuan knew very well that Liu Mu was fooling himself again, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was his own Tang Dynasty. There are some things that can be done even though they are troublesome. So Li Yuan asked rhetorically: "Is there really a five-foot-long big fish?" ”

"Absolutely!" Yanagi nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Li Yuan agreed with a very reluctant expression.

The courtiers were also relieved, how could the island be safer than Gaochang's, and it was definitely not a good thing to be in person.

Fang Xuanling said at this time: "The minister proposed that Li Shenfu be the governor of Yangzhou and Li Xiaogong be the governor of Hangzhou. Yangzhou Guanjiang Jiangnan to the north of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou Guanjiang Jiangnan to the south of the Yangtze River, transferred Li Daoyan as the general manager of the Donggang Shipping Division Kumamoto, led the deputy envoy of the Shipping Division, and transferred Li Xiaocha to the governor of Iwajian Mountain for a term of three years. ”

Tang Jian asked: "It's no problem to transfer Li Xiaocha to Kumamoto, what is Liu Renliang doing?" ”

"Maritime safety is still very important, I think that the most important thing in the Donggang Shipping Division is still on the warship, if the Donggang Shipping Division does not have dozens or hundreds of warships, it may be fine now, but what about the future?"

Fang Xuanling's words aroused everyone's praise.

It is absolutely necessary to plan for the long term, only with warships can control the sea, and the supreme military attache of the Donggang Shipping Division naturally has to worry about armament, since the basic strategy of fighting swords and merchants has been made, then warships are indispensable.

Li Shimin looked at Liu Mu, Liu Mu nodded slightly, he also supported the formation of a fleet.

"Then, the matter of Tsushima Island, it is better to let Liu Kuima go." Fang Xuanling pushed Liu Mu out again.

Liu Mu didn't object, and he could only do it himself.

On the matter of digging silver mines, it was discussed for two days, but still no complete plan was come up, this matter is just as the eldest grandson Wuji said, it is related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and it should not be rash.

By the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Yu suggested that the meeting be suspended for the time being: "There are several difficulties to consider. Suddenly, so much silver enters the Tang Dynasty, a good thing must be a good thing, if it becomes cheap and the money is expensive, this is trouble. In this case, the household department should still select a few reliable people to come up with a plan first. ”

Cui Junsu got up and said very seriously: "Don't worry, this matter should be the first priority." I thought that a lot of silver would be cheap, but if there is a place to spend, the country will be rich and the people will not necessarily be cheap. As far as a small silver coin is concerned, 22 silver coins can buy a fine silk, and silk does not replace coins, so Datang must have 100,000 taels of silver within five years. ”

"That silver mine is much more than a hundred thousand silver. But digging out 100,000 taels of silver in five years, I'm afraid I can't. Even if he led his troops to kill Pingwa Island at this time, it would be impossible to dig up 100,000 taels of silver in five years with all his might. ”

100,000 taels is not a small number, according to the calculation of 1237.5 grams in Datang, this is also 37,000 tons of silver.

With Datang's current mining capacity and smelting capacity, 37,000 tons of silver is a task that cannot be completed at all.

What's more, Iwami Silver Mountain can only be dug secretly.

Cui Junsu didn't need to go through the records of the household department, and some of the data was recorded in his mind: "The four major silver mines in Datang are Raozhou, Xuanzhou, Xinzhou, and Quzhou. The total output of the four major silver mines is about 50,000 taels a year, and the total output of Datang is 70,000 taels a year. ”

"Then you said you wanted 100,000 taels." The eldest grandson Wuji said in his heart, Datang can only save 100,000 taels of silver in 10,000 years, and you have to provide it in the next five years.

Cui Junsu hugged his fist at the eldest grandson Wuji: "I mean, the silver and copper coins are replaced by silk tokens, and I don't worry about how much silver there is." The only thing that needs to be considered is that there must be a reasonable way for the silver to flow into the market, otherwise it will ruin the merchants, markets and people of Datang. ”

"This is a problem that needs to be considered by the Ministry of Households, and my Donggang Shipping Division is only responsible for transporting the silver ore back."

Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to finish speaking, Gao Jian took the lead and said: "This silver mine can't belong to the Donggang Shipping Division, and the Shipping Division can only earn a freight in it." ”

"The company is willing to pay heavy taxes, very heavy taxes. The silver mine paid a very heavy tax to the household ministry alone. Liu Mu must speak at this time, he can not care about his own interests, but he can't ignore the interests of shareholders, otherwise in the future, when Datang needs to invest a lot, no one in the world will be willing to contribute.

"How heavy is it?" Cui Junsu is the secretary of the household department, and he is also the sister-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family, which is one of the fourteen major shareholders of the Donggang Boshi in addition to the royal family.

But at this time, Cui Junsu was completely in the identity of the head of the household, and there was no concession at all because his Cui family was a shareholder of Donggang. This is the backbone of celebrities, standing in their positions and seeking their own politics.

"This ......" Liu Mu also only said that he was willing to pay heavy taxes, but he didn't think about the quantity.

Under Cui Junsu's questioning, Liu Mu hesitated.

"It's better to calculate the cost, the cost of mining, the wages of personnel, and the freight." Liu Ruyu, as the general account of the general secretary of the company, she has the qualifications to speak.

"There is no need to calculate, just say that the net profit is handed over to the national treasury, the law of the Tang Dynasty, and all mines in the world are state-owned......" After Cui Junsu said this, he was stunned, and then laughed: "Wrong, this mine is in Wadao." ”

"Cui Gong is right, this mine is the mine of Datang, and it should be in accordance with Tang law." Under Liu Ruyu's hint, Li Daozong hurriedly helped Cui Junsu to fulfill the sentence just now.

After arguing a few words in the court, Liu Mu suddenly said: "The king of the Japanese slaves and the nobles of the Japanese slaves are brutal, these guys don't understand etiquette, and they are no different from animals. They treated their people like sheep and oxen and slaughtered them as they pleased. Uncle Guo can testify to this. ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, didn't understand why Liu Mu said this, but he could indeed testify.

The eldest grandson Wuji told the story of the rebellion launched by Suga Ezo, and there are some details in it, especially the evil deeds of Suga Ezo father and son that happened in the palace of the Japanese king.

After listening to the various details of the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu jumped up angrily and scolded: "Such a beast, why should you be with it, you should kill it." ”
