After all, it's not the material to sell guanzi. In the end, Qi Wuhuaiwen couldn't hold it back. "Young master, I've found an iron mine!"

"What?!"

Liu Mang almost jumped up.

That's great news!

"Quick! Fast! Tell me about it! Wait a minute! Someone, call Mr. Shivan! ”

The attacker was a little disappointed, she knew that tonight's "practice" was going to be in vain.

However, although the attacker doesn't understand what is good about iron ore, but the young master is excited like this, it must be a great thing.

The young master Liu Mang is the sky that attacks people, it is everything to her, as long as the young master is happy, the sky that attacks people is the sun shining.

The attacker hurried to boil water and prepare for supper.

Fan Chongyan is in charge of daily government affairs, with the most and most miscellaneous affairs, and he rests late every day. I didn't know what was going on, so I hurried over.

Hearing that he had found an iron mine, Fan Zhongyan was also very excited.

Yanmen is located in an intermountain basin, and there must be minerals in the surrounding mountains, and it is normal to find iron ore.

However, the iron ore discovered by Qi Wuhuaiwen has large reserves, shallow burial, easy to mine, and is very close to the Yin Pavilion, dozens of miles east of the Yin Pavilion.

It's just that the iron ore here has a disadvantage - it has little iron.

The iron content is small, and for every pound of iron refined, more ore is needed, which means that the transportation cost of iron ore will increase significantly.

Liu Mang pressed the small mole on his chin, pondered for a moment, and made a decision: "Just make iron in Huren!" ”

Fan Zhongyan manages government affairs and considers things thoroughly. The people are very small, the infrastructure is very poor, and the important thing is that mining requires a large number of laborers, and there are very few people in Bingzhou, even fewer people in Yanmen, and even fewer people in Xiaoxian County.

Since Liu Mang said it, he already had an idea: "I'll figure out a way to do it." ”

"Young master, mining iron ore also involves the issue of taxation. Although the official operation of salt and iron has been abolished, the salt and iron tax is not exempted. It is necessary to plan early to deal with the court's questioning. ”

"Well, I don't understand this. Mr. Xiwen will study it carefully, and we will discuss it later. ”

"There's another hard thing, money."

"Money?" Liu Mang really ignored this problem.

Although the iron ore is shallow and easy to mine, whether it is mining or large-scale smelting, the cost is huge!

"Don't we have enough money?"

The remnants of the Yellow Turban in Northern Taihang were cleared and a lot of property was seized.

Fan Zhongyan shook his head. "Mining and iron smelting is very expensive. Moreover, our army is getting bigger and bigger, and its expenses are also increasing day by day. Roughly estimated, the existing money is only two or three out of tenth. ”

"There is so much money missing!" Liu Mang never expected it. "Is there any way to get the money?"

Fan Zhongyan didn't have to say anything about managing government affairs, if he was asked to get money, he could only think of one way - to increase taxes.

"Tax increases?" Liu Mang shook his head vigorously.

In recent years, the people of Yanmen have been repeatedly plundered by the Huns, and life has been very difficult. Increasing taxes is undoubtedly the life of the people.

Yanmen is the first stop of the layout and state, and you can't just come here and force the evil.

After studying for a long time, I still can't think of a way to solve the problem of money.

Money is a big problem, but iron ore is a more important problem than money, and no matter how difficult the problem of money is, we must find a way to solve it.

"Well, I'll figure it out when it comes to money. Mr. Xiwen and Master Qi Wu will go back to rest first, and tomorrow, Hua Rong and a hundred guards will be given to Master Qi Wu to prepare for the expansion of the people and prepare for mining. When the people and money are in place, start work immediately. ”

……

Fan Zhongyan and Qi Wuhuaiwen left, and Liu Mang still sat quietly and thought.

The attacker prepared the couch and softly summoned the young master Liu Mang to rest.

The matter of money is not something that can be solved in a moment, so I don't want to think about it.

Seeing the delicate attack, Liu Mang's sexual interest reappeared.

The attacker was also eager in his heart, but he was worried about Liu Mang's body. "The young master is busy in the middle of the night, don't be tired......"

"It's not bad to be tired! Ironmaking is important, but practice is just as important! ”

No one bothered anymore, the two had a strong relationship, and after getting along for a long time, they became more tacit.

More hearty than before, enjoy the ultimate ......

After the attack of passion, his body was soft into a ball of cotton, and he was softly snuggled by Liu Mang's side. looked at Liu Mang shyly, and said timidly: "Young master, Xi'er has a shy thing to say......

"Well, it's time to say something shameful."

It was still difficult to speak, Liu Mang repeatedly encouraged, urged and teased, and the attacker buried his hot face deep into Liu Mang's badness, and his voice was so shy that it was almost inaudible. "Rejoicing with the young master, each time is harder than the last, but each time it is more joyful......"

When his own woman said such words, Liu Mang felt great pride and pride.

Liu Mang rubbed the soft attack unexpectedly. "I'm amazing, right?"

"Yes!"

"Hehe...... Liu Mang turned over the deeply buried face of the attacker, and said very seriously: "The raider is getting more and more proficient!" ”

"Shame on ......"

"Hehe, we are cooperating more and more tacitly, so we will be more happy, which is the result of tacit cooperation."

The attacker was even more ashamed, and buried his face again, enjoying the double happiness of body and spirit.

Hey!

Cooperate?

Liu Mang's mind flashed!

Money, there's a way!

……

Early in the morning, Liu Mang wrote a letter and sent his confidants to Taiyuan Qiao Zhiyong.

As soon as the messenger left, the messenger arrived.

Li Xiucheng's department has arrived at Wang Tao, which is a hundred miles northeast of the Yin Pavilion. Because of the Yellow Turban people who returned to Shun with more than 10,000 people, they didn't know where to settle, so the team temporarily lived in Wang Tao and asked the young master Liu Mang to decide.

Liu Mang sent a fast horse to order Li Xiucheng and ordered his department to temporarily stay in Wang Tao.

Liu Mang found Fan Zhongyan and asked about the tax on salt and iron.

Fan Zhongyan explained that after changing the official camp of salt and iron to pay taxes on salt and iron, nominally, the taxes should be handed over to the imperial court, but the actual situation is that the major princes keep the taxes in their localities and use them for military expenses and other expenses. The imperial court was notorious for raising taxes, and the princes reaped the benefits.

"That's it. The taxes of other places are full of the private pockets of the princes, and the taxes of our Yanmen are taken from the people and used by the people. ”

Liu Mang's idea is that people need manpower for mining and smelting. And the yellow scarves brought by Li Xiucheng descended to the crowd and needed to be resettled. Let this part of the yellow scarf descend to the public, enrich the people, and make a living from mining and smelting.

In other places, there were also princes who purged the remnants of the Golden Remnant, and captured the people, but all of them were used as servitude. It sounds good to say that hard labor is nothing more than a slave who is fed and not paid.

Slavery, ignorance, backwardness, and the use of slaves, although they saved the cost of labor, also buried the hidden danger of social turmoil.

Liu Mang is a modern thinker and political idea, and although he has not reached the level of establishing a democratic regime, he will not accept the existence of slavery.

His idea was that the iron tax would be collected as usual, and the collected taxes would be distributed to the Yellow Turbans engaged in mining and smelting in the form of wages and settling-in allowances, so that these people would gradually become ordinary people under their own rule and live a normal life of self-reliance.

Let them do their best and earn from their work, and their lives will be secure and stable.

Of course, Fan Zhongyan agreed with the young master Liu Mang's idea.

Liu Mang ordered the eldest grandson Wuji to temporarily take over the government affairs of Fan Zhongyan, and took Fan Zhongyan to Wang Tao and Hu Ren to receive and settle the Yellow Turban. Liu Mang took Fan Zhongyan's favored Yang Yansi and a team of guards to Wang Tao.

As soon as he saw Li Xiucheng, before he could even speak, the bronze mirror in Liu Mang's arms shook "............
