Chapter 476: Overwhelmed

Economic-related theories have long existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, involving business management, metal positioning, and so on.

The so-called business science is the theory first put forward by Guan Zhong, the most famous is that salt and iron were collected by the state, and in order to achieve the purpose of increasing taxes, brothels were also encouraged, and so on.

In fact, the metal positioning has been set as early as the Xia Dynasty, but it was not until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that it really became a universal law, such as tripod-shaped, knife-shaped, shovel-shaped, round-shaped and other coins are made of copper, which is the so-called metal currency.

Now what metal is more precious has a very rough view, copper is precious there are too many reasons, ornaments are generally copper, and production, killing, and memorial vessels and other tools are needed to use copper, copper is naturally the most widely used metal, how not to appear precious?

If there is any "standard" now, until silver became a currency, it belongs to the era of the "copper standard", the beginning of the silver standard is that the copper in China is obviously insufficient, and silver gradually becomes a higher level of currency to replace copper.

Silver is now used quite little, except for making jewelry into her daughter's house, I really don't know what to use it for. As for making the utensils for dining, it is estimated that Lu Zhe is doing it now.

Nowadays, there are very few dining tools, chopsticks are still called "chopsticks", spoons are not called spoons, and the necessary utensils for dining are "daggers", which are actually small knives, and forks must also be there.

It is only used by southerners when they eat yusheng, and it is rarely seen in the north.

The purpose of the knife is not to kill people, but when you eat meat, it is a large piece, and you can't hold and bite the whole piece, right? So something like a dagger is needed to cut, and if necessary, as a knife for self-defense.

Fork...... In addition to fork meat, many times it is a tool for scooping things into a boiling pot, and after the dagger cuts the meat, it is also sent into the mouth with a fork.

To be honest, what to eat now is basically boiled in water, and stir-fried vegetables did not appear until the Song Dynasty. People eat either bread or boiled pots (generally any food thrown into a bucket to cook), which is basically grasped by hand. (Imagine that Indians eat everything with their bare hands.) )

Any modern person travels to ancient times, unless it is modern times, otherwise the older the era of the time, every time-traveler can be called an "inventor". Therefore, the "chopstick" under Lu Zhe's rule was changed to a name called chopsticks, and the spoon was also "rightly named", and even the iron pot was "invented". Tap water, flush toilet, hanging wheels, gears, screws, axles, ...... Anyway, as long as Lu Zhe thinks of something or wants to use something, one thing will be "invented" one by one.

What the? Screws are technical jobs and need lathes? I don't know if a drill with rotating teeth will appear when the mold is drilled first, and then the screw will appear after using the casting method.

Actually, it's quite sad, in the era of no electricity, there are no TVs, computers and other things, people who are accustomed to modern life have come to such an era, and the entertainment that a powerful monarch can do is to listen to music that does not meet the aesthetics. It is not easy to watch a group of women dance in the shape of animals, and if you want to do something, you have to "invent" it yourself.

Lu Zhe is a little better than the rest of the traversers, he has a large territory after working hard. Although there are still nations, it is impossible to go to war all the time. In his spare time, he can start his own great business of invention, and because the things he invented are from his handwriting, "there is something good on it." He does not need to make his own executive orders to promote, as long as it is useful, it will be immediately absorbed and used in life.

Talked about coins. The current numismatic system is basically made by filling molds, which is simply to create a mold and then pour down the gold juice and wait for it to cool, so that there will always be a lot of coins, which is the so-called uneven and unsightly.

They are on the edge of the Yangtze River, which has been widely used for water transportation, and water trucks with water have also appeared, but have they forgotten something?

Yes, the water mill, and the water stamping is not being utilized!

There is nothing more beautiful about making zuò coins than using stamping, but these theories are easy to say, but to really establish them, you don't have to move your mouth and immediately conjure them. And Lu Zhe honestly has no relevant knowledge, fortunately he is a monarch, and he can also put forward a general concept, so that a group of craftsmen can slowly study it.

"There are too many things that need to be studied, and you also know that there is not enough gold and silver in the current treasury, and the gold, silver and copper triplemosis is also a big project, I'm afraid ......" Listening to too many things, Xiao He was a little dizzy, and there was a long roar in his ears.

Lu Zhe didn't say that he would implement it immediately, he just put forward a response concept for the excessive flood of copper coins: "The others can be slowed down, but the matter of the water stamping die must be done a little hard." ”

Now the armor is all sheet armor, to be honest, the defense is like that, and it is particularly troublesome to make zuò, once the water stamping can be used, there is hope for building plate armor at that time, and with plate armor it must be higher than the defense of sheet armor, after all, plate armor with amplitude can remove a lot of strength. Smoothing can cause the damage of the blow to be transferred, and when the time comes, it can not only improve the defense against arrows, but also have considerable defense against other weapons such as hooks, sweeps, etc., and most importantly, reduce the weight of the armor.

Xiao He has become completely sluggish, and Kuaitong has also grown up for a long time, and he doesn't know how to close his mouth, but some generals look like old gods.

It is also said that Wenchen is involved in more government affairs, and military generals are specialized in fighting, and only Wenchen who manages civil affairs needs to understand so many things, so every time a new item appears, they should ponder it, and if they don't understand, they can't deal with the various changes and influences brought about by the new item.

"The knowledge of the Lord is too extensive." Kuaitong, who didn't know whether to complain or rejoice, sighed and glanced at Xiao He with a dull expression very sympathetically.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to have more new items, because every time it appears, it means that the society is about to face a change, just like Lu Zhe fell in love with stir-fried food, and as a result, the military generals immediately followed, and the gentry and clans with economic conditions will inevitably follow, and even the capital of Guizhou is willing to spend a lot of money to buy an iron pot, so the demand for the iron pot will inevitably increase.

The increase in demand, so should Xiao He appropriately tilt his attention, at least to adjust the production and living utensils of Yuecheng to increase the production of iron pots.

In addition, the army's demand for sheep increased, and Lu Zhe didn't know what kind of disease he was guilty of when he inspected it, saying that wool could be made into cloth after weaving, and he really studied and pounded the technology for craftsmen.

God knows if the sheep are called sheep now, but now as long as the business travelers are sheep, they like to buy a few when they are doing business, and send them to the government for identification when they return to Nanling.

What else? In addition to wool, he also studied what kind of roasted tea leaves, even a strange shape of clothes with buttons, and even the seed that he liked to plant as long as it was a seed, let alone the trees and bamboos that people threw into the pool.

As the head of civil affairs under Lu Zhe, Xiao He really needs to be busy with a lot of things, so he simply has a man who likes business to help him, otherwise it is estimated that he will have gray hair in his prime.

"Lord, build roads, O roads." Xiao He was completely dizzy for a long time, and when he came to his senses, he didn't forget the most important thing: "How much people's power do you plan to use in the summer?" ”

Lu Zhe didn't plan to recruit many people, and the recruitment of people was not to send them to the south to build roads, and there were still Baiyue people running around, so it was very unsafe for people to build roads in the past. Even if he recruited Minyu to build roads, it would lead to Hengshan County, Cangwu County, Lujiang County, and Changsha County, which had already settled down, and it was not to build a road similar to Qin Zhidao but paved with cement within a year or two.

"If I'm not mistaken, there is a force of about 50,000 people among the auxiliaries, who first built the road from Nanling to Linyuan, and then were transferred to repair the road from Nanling to Yi County (the capital of Hengshan County)?" Of course, Lu Zhe would not be mistaken, but he was just asking where this unit was being transferred now.

Xiao He replied: "The military reclamation and spring ploughing in various counties require a large number of manpower. ”

That is to say, all the road construction will make way for spring ploughing, and now as long as the people who can plough the fields are all used, Xiao He said this with a proud expression on his face.

In fact, how can you not be proud? Lu Zhe, this guy just gave an order, as for where it is suitable for reclamation, and how to carry out reclamation, Xiao He and a group of Wenchen need to be busy with their work. Lu Zhe is also a person who does not play cards according to the rules, in addition to the land that already has the lord, he thinks that he will occupy a nest where he needs to do something, and in the end he is not going to go to the field as a courtier?

It's not easy, as a ruling party, you can't bury your head without knowing the truth, Xiao He is a cautious person, even if he is busy with things about farming, he has to drive a car and horse to see it with his own eyes.

"During the autumn harvest, the three counties can probably harvest three million stone of grain." Xiao He only said that the military reclamation of Nanjun, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County was not counted, and the rest of the Qianshou taxes such as Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Changsha County were not included, as for what taxes Nanhai County and Minnan County could have.

"Huh!" Lu Zhe smiled.

At the same time, Kuaitong, Gongwei, Ji Bu, and Luo Shao, anyway, as long as they were present, they all showed happy smiles.

What is Grain? It's something to eat. It seems like nonsense, but food is the root of a qiē, and there is enough food to do something! (To be continued......)
