Chapter 812: Majestic

Fusu once imagined the appearance of the city located on the north bank of the Yangtze River from countless written information and human language reports. He came to the city in person, but he knew the description in words and words, and it was not the same as what he saw with his own eyes.

Not to mention the towering city walls and the seemingly ferocious city defenses, the prosperity of Nanling City is incomparable to that of any city today. In addition, Fusu also saw a lot of novel concepts from the architectural pattern of Nanling City, more than two floors of the building is no longer a pavilion, more than four or five floors of the building is no longer called a tower, as long as it is more than two floors, it is called a building.

The road planning of Nanling City is also worthy of praise of Fusu, there are four straight avenues with a width of at least 20 zhang or more in all four directions, in addition to the middle is planned as the main road, the traffic rules stipulated by Han Wangzhe are also worth considering.

"With the separation of the left and right crowds, it is true that there will be no more crowding with each other!" Fusu has felt it many times.

Meng Yi and Nei Shi Teng knew that Fusu would only repeat the topic of roads because of confusion in his thoughts, after all, the new traffic laws in the territory under Lu Zhe had been implemented for seven or eight years, not only Nanling City was divided into left and right roads, but other places also had such rules, what else was there to be surprised about.

Fusu's thoughts were indeed a little confused, he had just learned a news from Xiao He that several groups of personnel sent by Lu Zhe to Wadao had found a silver mine, and he had heard that the reserves of that silver mine were extremely amazing.

"In the future, the empire will implement a three-tier economic system of gold, silver, and copper, and the 'gold' they are talking about is not the current one, and the current 'gold' has been determined to be named copper coins," Fusu sighed long: "Half a tael coin will also face a comprehensive restructuring and be replaced by a five-baht coin." In the future, 1,000 five-baht coins are equal to consistent, consistent is equivalent to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold. This is not a plan that can be put forward by patting the head! ”

Isn't it? I had heard that Lu Zhe had been stockpiling gold and silver, and had been working hard to increase his possession of gold, silver, and copper. They knew that a new round of monetary reform was bound to happen, but they never expected it to come so quickly.

"Unit conversion, denominated in five baht coins, at present, Qindi 20 Wen can buy a bucket of miscellaneous grains, and refined grains such as rice and wheat are 40 Wen a bucket?" Nesten was asking Meng Yi.

Meng Yi seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he said: "The price of grain is different in each place, so it's hard to estimate." ”

Yes, each region has its own grain price, and in some places a stone of miscellaneous grain is four or five hundred yuan, while in some places it has to be doubled several times.

What is most intuitive. It is the Qianzhong Plain because it is a grain-producing area, and the official price of a stone of miscellaneous grain is 250 Wen, but when it comes to the border of the grassland where there is no grain production, it may take at least 600 Wen for a stone, because it needs to add the cost of transportation, and not the price of the same thing is the same in all places.

Shaking his head, Fusu had a bitter look on his face: "Not only to calculate the value of grain and grass, but also to calculate miscellaneous items such as cloth and weapons, how much does it cost?" ”

If you're moving, you should bring more of everything. Fusu knew very well that since Wei Ji was also in the south of the city, then this trip must have been to talk about the "exodus", as for Zhao Xie's presence, it is estimated that it is for the last "meeting of the four kings" in history, and then Lu Zhe should be called the emperor. Fusu and Wei Ji, who chose to "run away", estimated that it would be difficult to have a chance to return to their homeland in this life.

"We have 204,000 taels of gold, 324,000 taels of silver, and more than 2,340,000 taels of newly made five-baht coins...... Meng Yi also smiled wryly: "Far less, and we owe Han Wangzhe 4.4 million gold ...... before."

This moment. Fusu's head is big.

The Qin state declined rapidly, and long before LΓΌ Zhe established the state, he owed grain on credit, and then repaid part of the debt in the trade of war horses and other livestock. However, later, because the internal productivity of the Qin State was completely cut off and he owed more on credit, it can be said that Fusu owed Lu Zhe a lot of debt.

"You can't count that way, can you?" Nesteng had a different opinion: "The land of the three counties is going to be handed over to Han Wangzhe, so won't the previous debts be taken over by the new empire?" ”

Therefore, a soldier is a soldier, where can things be calculated like that, Qin's loans are used to maintain the national system, and the finances are used by the Qin center, that is, the funds that have been spent, no matter who the territory ultimately belongs to, and who used the funds is a fact that cannot be erased.

"It's different, the transfer of land belongs to the transfer of territory," Meng Yi specially explained the difference, and finally said: "It's just a way of alternating force or peaceful handover, and it is precisely in the way of peaceful handover that Han Wang Zhe allowed the Qin royal family to survive, and gave a number of compensations." ”

The first compensation was to plan Xianyang as a city-state with a dominion-style model, and give Fusu a certain share of tax revenue. In fact, there were examples of this in the ancient pre-Qin period, just like after the former Zhou royal family became the co-lord of the world, didn't they also leave a certain amount of territory for their enemies as fiefs? The various vassal states under the command of the Zhou royal family are not all their own heroes, and many of them are enemies.

The second compensation plan has not yet been determined, which is why Fusu came to Nanling in person and brought the ruling Meng Yi and Taiwei Nei Shiten with him at the same time. However, the method of the second compensation plan has been largely determined, and LΓΌ Zhe will provide assistance and support to the countries or vassals who are about to "leave" in terms of economic and military strength.

The third compensation plan is about the clans of the old nations, such as Fusu, Wei Ji, Zhao Xie, Xiong Xin, Han Cheng and other kings of the countries have their own choices, but it does not mean that the choice of the entire clan is the same, and the choice of individual clans is to follow the king...... That is, their heads of the family "ran away" together, but there were also those who chose to stay in the empire. Therefore, the third plan is for the old kings to obtain some auxiliary policies for their own clans, or it should be said to help those clans establish themselves in the new empire.

Nei Shi Teng said "oh" and stopped talking, in fact, the Qin military, including him, had already made a plan, and they were already able to know what support they wanted to strive for, but they didn't know how much they could be satisfied.

The south of Nanling City was originally a residential area, but because of the storage of the Yangtze River, a water transportation route, there were some small changes in the planning of the south of Nanling City, such as the planning of a warehouse area in addition to the residential area.

Naturally, it is impossible for all the five thousand Qin troops to protect Fusu and march swaggering in the city, and only one hundred Iron Eagle Warriors are close to protect the existing Qin State Central Ministers, and the rest have been arranged in the military camp outside the city.

In addition to a hundred Iron Eagle Ruishi to protect Fusu, Meng Yi, Nei Shi Teng and other important members of the Qin State. The Han army also arranged for a hundred armor soldiers to accompany them, and they marched along the avenue towards the south of Nanling City.

When he first entered the southern part of the city, Fusu once again saw a different way of life, where the people living here were mostly commoners, but unlike the residents of Qindi, they would leave land in the front yard to plan vegetable gardens, and although each household still had a fence, it was used as a place for leisure and play.

"I found that Nanling people like high-rise buildings very much, and they seem to have a more comfortable life?"

"Yes, they are basically three-story buildings, and the layout of the main building is the same for each house. It's just that there will be a difference in the layout of the front yard. ”

"I heard that the main buildings are all planned in a unified way, and the reason is for what load-bearing layout. I even heard that someone built a building privately, but the load-bearing layout was wrong, and the house collapsed before moving in, so it was required to be implemented in accordance with the unified building plan. ”

"As the rumors say, Nanling is a city of gardens, and you can see the most ordinary commoners under the rule of Han Wang Zhe, who are committed to creating a garden for themselves even if they have limited space. But then again, there are so many children playing in the front yard of each house. Most of the women and children were also carrying babies in their arms? ”

"Huh? Han Wangzhe has been encouraging more births, and it is reported that the number of new babies in Nanling this year alone has reached 180,000, and the number of newborn babies in the whole territory has reached more than 3 million. ”

"That's a lot!?"

"It's a lot, and this year is a new period of growth. Han Wangzhe also increased financial assistance for families with multiple births. ”

"So it's true that there are as many as 20 million children under the age of seven under the rule of Han Wangzhe's territory?"

"This ...... The Imperial Center has not announced the number, and 20 million is just speculation by some people. ”

"It's terrifying, there are more children under the age of seven in a country than there are adults in the whole country, how much pressure should there be on the age distribution of such a country?"

"There is information that has been confirmed. In the new five-year plan that Han Wangzhe is about to promulgate, as much as 10 million yuan will be invested in the financial funds for encouraging childbirth, which is not lost to the military expenditure at all. ”

"Huh...... New five-year plan. With 10 million yuan invested in fertility assistance and 18 million yuan in military spending, do you know how much the country's livelihood is? It's 50 million! ”

It has always been a thousand five-baht coins, so 10 million guan is 10 billion five-baht coins, which seems to be a lot, but it has to be said that it is the limitation of the times, if it is only the military cost of a large-scale war in the Han Dynasty, the private money of Liu Hong, the Lingdi Emperor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is more than 10 billion and 5 baht money, and some family valves have hundreds of millions and billions to buy an official without blinking their eyes.

Meng Yi, who had been thinking about something, touched his chin: "It can be seen that Han Wangzhe has really spent a lot of energy for the financial system!" ”

Fusu was the first to respond, there is nothing more than the state to invest money to promote the economic development of the society, the state spent a lot of money can not only stimulate the social economy, in fact, in some ways can also accelerate the circulation of money, lay the foundation for the monetary system to be recognized.

"Then we will speed up the process of purchasing materials, so as not to increase prices!" Nesten's first reaction was this.

Indeed, the more money circulates in the market, the price will inevitably rise, which is an economic chain of supply and demand, and in fact, it is also an inevitable phenomenon of money increase.

The economic aspect is too complicated, and non-professionals have a general understanding, and Fusu is more curious about how Lu Zhe should get through the initial stage of laying the value of money, if he makes too much money in circulation and leads to the collapse of the production system, it will really cripple himself.

I don't know if Lu Zhe will cripple his country's economic system, so he came to Nanling Nancheng Tower and climbed one step after another, seeing that it was far more than Lu Zhe, Zhao Xie, and Wei Ji present, but even Han Cheng, Xiong Xin, Ji Xia, and Tian Shi, Fusu immediately realized that this meeting was definitely not so simple.

"I'm sorry, it's too far."

It's a temporary party, and it's not a pre-agreed time, but as the last person to arrive, Fusu always has to say everything.

Lu Zhe, who was sitting on the main seat, just nodded and smiled, and the rest of the people, whether they were kind or not, bowed to Fusu in return.

It is interesting to see the nations that are still alive, and the nations that have perished, the kings or princes of the past, all in one place. Some of these former kings were once allies and enemies, and LΓΌ Zhe's gathering of them is of historical significance in itself.

"This is my place, right?" Fusu walked to an empty seat before asking questions, and with his chubby appearance and honest expression, it was very deceptive.

"King Qin, please take a seat." Lu Zhe nodded directly.

Fusu is really sitting, not the kind of kneeling sitting, but sitting on a seat similar to the Taishi chair. After he sat down, his eyes first glanced at the table, on which were seasonal fruits, and a transparent glass bottle seemed to contain the wine that was very popular with the officials and nobles who had been sent first? After reading the things on the table, he looked around the scene again, the city tower in this area was completely empty, and there were no guards except for the necessary maids, and the direction was directly facing the Yangtze River, and when the wind blew, it seemed that he could still smell the smell of water in the air.

"Mr. Meng and Mr. Win, please come with the little maid." A palace maid who looked like a female official went to greet her.

Mr. Meng is naturally Meng Yi, but Mr. Ying is Nesteng.

In fact, for Nei Shi Teng, he should be called Zhao Teng first with "clan" on formal occasions, and close people can be called Ying Teng, and female officials are either uneducated, or they must mean something.

Ne Steng hadn't figured out the situation yet, and Meng Yi had already pulled him forward. The place they were going to was an area where people should be served, about thirty meters away from the current and former kings, and there was already a large crowd of people.

Seeing Meng Yi and Nei Shi Teng being taken away, Fusu looked around the scene again, and he didn't know why he felt a little cramped at the moment, especially Zhao Xie and other people from other countries were talking and laughing in a low voice, but he felt a little embarrassed when no one paid attention to him.

Fusu simply stopped looking at the guys from all over the world, and looked at the Yangtze River where boats and boats flowed endlessly, but there was also a topic of interest in his ears, it seemed that before he arrived, Lu Zhe chanted a poem or something?

"Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water? It's an amazing start! Fusu wanted to ask Zhao Xie and Han Cheng, who were talking, but the two were obviously not happy to deal with them. (To be continued......)
