Lu Zhe's group is rich, if you have to add a few words, it is quite rich.

The distribution of minerals in the land of China is not too clear, but the generally mountainous area is the area where the minerals are correspondingly associated, and the most important thing in the south is the mountainous area.

I don't know if it's too "old" or what's going on, the minerals in the area occupied by Lu Zhe are estimated to have not suffered a "scourge", he made every effort to explore the territory, and found hundreds of veins, of which copper ore is not a few, and the rest of the iron ore is even more surprising.

There are many copper mines, and there is a lot of copper produced, Lu Zhe put aside the concern of not making his own coins, and there is the production of qualified iron-making technology, about the reduction of the demand for copper in the military, in order to store so many copper ingots, and the ruthless money must be described as "a mountain of money and a sea of money", how can there be a shortage of money?

If there is no shortage of money, Lu Zhe's "magic weapon" can be used forever, so the launch of the "national project" is not a drag but plays a vital role in the rule, and the private economy is also stimulated by many "national projects".

Isn't it? If you have a salary, you always have to spend it! The circulation of coins has stimulated consumption, so the demand for products must be huge, so it has caused merchants (factories) to increase production to provide market demand, forming a cycle of "where there is a need, there is a supply".

Economic things are too complicated, and it is not a matter of words to explain them clearly, but the economic cycle can be explained in simple language, that is, when it is necessary to be increased, even without any administrative instructions or administrative assistance, the society will evolve on its own driven by interests, and small workshops will become large factories under the stimulation of the need to increase production capacity.

Lu Zhe is rich, although he doesn't quite understand why, but whether it is a county-level or county-level official, they have never worried about the collapse of the central government's finances, and they are willing to start more projects that are beneficial to the local government to pay salaries. After the head of the Qianqian has money to buy goods, the merchants need to pay taxes to the government, and provide the collected taxes for the center, which is also part of the political achievements.

The matter of water conservancy and roads is not complicated, and Lu Zhe doesn't even need too many words to emphasize, but it is just a "routine" to mention that the ruling Xiao He will issue a notice in the form of an official document, because the terrain is different in various places, the wages paid by the center will be different, and Lu Zhe's explanation will be finished here. Next, which county will receive how much funding. How to amend the law on water conservancy and roads, each county needs to write a regulation and discuss it with the ruling government.

It is not a novelty to let the counties inspect and write official documents on their own, there have always been such administrative regulations and habits, but this time Lu Zhe wanted to observe the ability of county officials, and was eager to dig out administrative talents from them, so Lu Zhe personally emphasized it.

Perhaps it was because he was worried that the counties were not appropriate, Lu Zhe also emphasized it with Xiao He, and asked Xiao He to hint more or less privately after the meeting. It's about whether they have a bigger future, so as not to fool around with the county officials who don't take it seriously.

In today's era, business is not a "cheap industry", and in an era when the standards of the four peoples of "Shinong, industry and commerce" have not yet been developed by Confucianism, businessmen are not "sluts" who manipulate "cheap industries". However, to be honest, since the Tian clan's dynasty of Qi happened, the vigilance of the nations, including the Qin State, towards the merchants has been raised countless levels.

Merchants are not sluts, and there is Zhuyu, who values commerce in front of Guan Zhong, and merchants do provide a lot of taxes for the government. The country's finances need a constant supply of business blood, and while governments are wary of businessmen doing "good deeds" without going through the government, they are more likely to encourage business practices.

Why did the Qin State not prohibit it, knowing that it was unsafe to vigorously provide horses and other livestock to Lu Zhe's side? Because of the huge transaction, you have to pay a huge amount of taxes to the state. The weak state of Qin needs money, a lot of money!

Lu Zhe had a few numbers on hand, because he attached importance to commerce and encouraged commerce, the monthly taxes paid by the merchants under his rule to the state increased rapidly, and the taxes paid by the eight counties in the previous month reached nearly 500,000 and a half taels.

If calculated according to the annual quota, the continuous growth is taken into account, from this year onwards, the tax collected from the merchants in just one year can feed the standing army of 100,000, and with the development of society, the tax will definitely continue to increase, and it is difficult to say how much it will grow.

In fact, according to Lu Zhe's thoughts, if this development continues, when the factory has a considerable scale, as the people need more interests to develop more new technologies, when the internal market is saturated, it will definitely change from domestic sales to export sales, and then business will definitely usher in explosive growth, and the tax revenue received a month will definitely exceed 1.5 million and a half taels.

Considering that it is now more than 200 years B.C., one and a half taels is equal to the value of about 300 Wen during the Ming Dynasty, and because the concept of private currency is not so popular in the barter mode, the tax of 1.5 million and a half taels a month is equivalent to about 450,000 taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty, and if the items used for private tax payment are converted into monetary value, there should be nearly 800,000 taels of silver, so the annual amount is estimated to be about 10 million taels of silver.

The tax revenue of more than 200 years BC is the national tax of 5 million people, the national tax of nearly 100 million people in the Ming Dynasty is only a few million taels of silver a year, and the national tax of more than 400 million people in the "Qing Dynasty" is only more than 20 million taels of silver a year, Lu Zhe should feel proud.

Now is not the era of Confucianism that is ashamed to talk about money, as long as you are not an idiot, you can understand what it means to have money, especially what it means for the state finance to enter a good cycle. Lu Zhe just said an approximate budget, and the ministers who listened to it immediately lifted their spirits.

If you have money, you will be able to start more "national projects", if you have money, you will be able to raise your standard of living, and if you have money, you will be able to raise more troops.

The importance of national projects can be understood at a glance, especially for projects such as private infrastructure construction, and not all blind people can understand the benefits of water conservancy and roads.

There is no need to say more about the standard of living, as long as you can live a comfortable life, who wants to be poor all your life? Besides, the living standard of Qianshou has gone up, and once the happiness is high, he will not think about rebellion, right? If the country is stable, then as a "civil servant", there is no need to be wary of the day when a mob with a pole will come and cut off the head of his whole family, after all, there is no vested interest who wants the environment to be destroyed.

"Actually, as long as the tax revenue provided by commerce can be stabilized at an annual amount of more than 30 million and a half taels, we can unify the world island at any time." Lu Zhe was waiting for the next to talk, then turned his head and muttered privately to Meng San next to the main steps.

"......" Mammo's response was a smiling face, how did he know what a world island was.

In fact, Lu Zhe's statement is not entirely correct, if commerce is to develop again and again, copper money will definitely not be enough to maintain commerce at a certain stage, and silver and gold will definitely appear at that time, forming the so-called currency carry system.

The development of society is sometimes difficult to control, and if business really develops to a peak, there will definitely be "capitalists". Capitalist, every capillary in the legend carries a dirty "creature", if Lu Zhe fails to control it, let alone continue to conquer outside, the internal turmoil alone should annoy him to death.

No one knows what will happen to business in the future, Lu Zhe needs a plan to supervise business, and at the same time set up a cage for capital, but these are definitely not things that can be concluded in a meeting, what is needed is long-term observation and supervision.

"That's all for business." Lu Zhe didn't expect the ministers to come up with a good solution for a while: "The following is about running schools in various counties. ”

Spreading culture, this is a very advanced thing, and the officials who don't understand business immediately straighten their faces, and look at Lu Zhe who is on the throne with extremely solemn expressions.

Large-scale dissemination of culture, the establishment of a school with a charter, such a thing is something that no one has done before, and now Lu Zhe intends to do this kind of "great cause", not to mention whether he can succeed, if the literati or something do not have an attitude of looking up to Lu Zhe, then he is definitely not a cultural person.

Lu Zhe talked about the spread of culture with the administrative charter because the paper was finally tossed out after half a year of research, and as soon as the research came out, Lu Zhe immediately invested heavily in the expansion of the production factory, and there was a great tendency to use the paper to submerge the entire territory.

Well, in fact, there are too many trees cut down in various places, and they are piled up on the side of the road and become rotten wood, so it is better to pull them all back and make them into paper......

No one has any objection to the big school, and even all of them are in favor of raising their hands and feet, once a Confucius only taught eighty-one students and left a name for eternity, and it seems that he has become a saint? If Lu Zhe had the ability to open the territory under his rule and open a school in the county, it would definitely be a great man of a generation, and the title of a saint would not be enough to describe Lu Zhe's merits.

"All localities should also take this opportunity to record literate people in the form of registration," Lu Zhe was talking about hiring teachers just now, and Lu Zhe saw that everyone had no opinions, and added: "Considering the difficulty of cultural transmission, I got a set of relatively simple teaching materials, and when the time comes, let the scribes who teach come to Nanling to 'further study' first." ”

There will be no opinions, there are better teaching materials for disseminating culture, and it is too late for them to be happy, who will care about destroying the "ancestral law", what "heretical doctrines" and other things, only a culture that is easier to spread is a good culture, and only a culture that is easier to understand and easy to learn is the correct culture.

"......" Lu Zhe seemed to be confused by the speed or unconditional acceptance of any decision, he stopped and looked at Xiao He uncertainly, and wanted to ask if these new officials who came to Nanling were echo worms.

Actually, it doesn't have much to do with echo worms or "lifting mobile phone qì", why oppose things that are good for everyone? (To be continued......)
