Chapter 842 The Ministry of Trade transferred money and added craftsmen as supervisors
With a series of new weapons as the foundation, Liu Xing's confidence and confidence have become extremely strong.
But why did Liu Xing open his mouth to Su Quan, not asking about his own real series of new weapons, but asking about the three types of Shenwu and those weapons that will be installed in the royal army one after another?
Su Quan didn't understand, he already knew that Liu Xing had just invited the second elder to the Hunter Valley Merchant Army, and he didn't understand why Liu Xing asked like this.
Although he couldn't guess it, and he didn't want to guess Liu Xing's thoughts, Su Quan still chose to answer Liu Xing's question: "Yu Taifu, if the Shenwu Type 3 artillery is put into mass production separately from the other three craftsmen, it should be able to reach a monthly output of 100 cannons and 10,000 shells." ”
Getting his answer, Liu Xing frowned and thought about it slightly.
"If I ask you to get 36 million from your Ministry of Trade, will you be able to get it now?" After thinking about it, Liu Xing raised his head and stared at Su Quan.
Hearing this, Su Quan was startled at first, and then quickly exclaimed: "Taifu! The Ministry of Trade and Trade has invested not much money in 136 places now, and if you come and let me transfer so much money, you will not be afraid that my lack of cash will lead to the inability of regulation and control! ”
Regulation gold, that is a new term invented by Liu Xing.
Since the implementation of the new system in the Northern Dynasties, the new law stipulates that prices should be guided by the government, but in order to ensure normal commercial development, Liu Xing still set a tone: as long as there are no people who raise prices, use money and grain to regulate and control, and do not easily use government decrees to forcibly control them.
It is such a tone that has made the Ministry of Households, which is now under the control of the Mint Department of the Northern Korean Financial Authority, Zhao Ding, and the Ministry of Commerce under the control of Su Quan take the lead in reaching a tacit understanding.
The Ministry of Household wanted to purchase grain from the imperial reserve, and the Department of International Trade and Commerce hoarded a large amount of grain in various places due to the lack of money in the past. Every time the Mint Department produced a batch of dragon yuanli, Zhao Ding gave priority to determining a large part of the quota to be used to include the Ministry of International Trade in the reserve of grain, so that the Ministry of International Trade took the lead in having cash to regulate the prices in various fields.
As a result of this tacit cooperation, nearly half of the 390 million silver coins and the same amount of coins minted by the Mint today have not actually entered circulation. Instead, it was seized by the Ministry of Trade of the Soviet Union as a hard currency to regulate the market.
So much so that a few days ago, Zhao Ding joked at Liu Xing's private banquet, pointing at Su Quan and saying: "I'm in charge of money, and the cash is not as much as Su Shangshu......"
At that time, Liu Xing was happy to hear Zhao Ding's words, because this was not a bad thing, on the contrary, it was a good thing.
The subordinates can reach this tacit understanding without their own orders, and a large number of dragon yuan are in the hands of the deployment of the imperial court. Only in this case do you not have to worry about those profiteers using commercial means to depress the real value of the dragon dollar, which in turn will cause inflation and soaring prices.
In addition to preventing profiteers from rebelling. Although Zhao Dingna said that the cash was not as much as Su Quan's hand, he had royal reserves and the same amount of gold and silver as the cash.
The royal reserves and the holding of trade cash double ensure the stability of the circulation value of the dragon yuan, which can truly ensure that all people can feel at ease when using the dragon yuan, and this can ensure that the value of the currency is controlled by the imperial court to the greatest extent.
Who has enough cash, who can really dominate the financial market, the tacit understanding reached by Zhao Ding and Su Quan at this point is the most happy and reassuring for Liu Xing.
But no matter what kind of policies and means a country adopts to replenish its reserves and strengthen its financial and economic strength, what is its ultimate goal?
In later generations, some countries were highly welfaristic, but today's Northern Dynasties do not need the imperial court to take the lead, and it is enough to have four major charitable associations. There are also some countries that will engage in hegemonism, and Liu Xing wants hegemony. However, they are not in a hurry to promote that kind of arrogant and unreasonable hegemonism.
So in the future, what kind of country does Liu Xing want to support with the strong economic strength of this imperial court and the Great Song Dynasty that has been renewed? Is the so-called Tang Dynasty reappearing?
No, Liu Xingcai doesn't want that kind of fake and empty prosperity, what Liu Xing wants is a relatively balanced prosperity. What is relative balance, that is, to truly make the country rich and the people strong. If we want to truly make the country rich and the people strong, we must first have strong military strength to ensure it.
Therefore, whether it is Zhao Ding, Su Quan, or Ma Kuo, Yang Shi, including Liu Xing himself, the internal struggle can only achieve the goal of truly and thoroughly enriching the country and strengthening the people. To be a screw in the machine that determines how the Great Song Dynasty operates.
Since people are just screws on this big machine, then the money in Su Quan's hands. Naturally, the priority should be to ensure that that the goal is achieved and that it can be used at any time......
Liu Xing can think of these truths, and Su Quan can understand them, Liu Xing knows that he actually just can't bear to complain that the cash in his hands is transferred.
Knowing his original intention, Liu Xing's face sank and said: "You have enough money in the Ministry of Commerce, don't cry poor here." The 36 million is only one-tenth of the cash you have in hand, and it will not affect your Ministry of International Trade's regulation and control of the market. And if these 36 million are built in six new craftsmen's prisons, they will allow my royal army to be equipped with Shenwu Type 3 artillery within three years. So Hugh will entangle with me. If you want to tune it, I'll tune it. ”
"Alright! You said that I would transfer it, and later I would send someone to the Hunter's Valley and let Uncle Yelu send someone to collect the money. Su Quan saw Liu Xing's unquestionable and loud speech, and suddenly didn't dare to entangle anymore and said a word very reluctantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xing turned his gaze to Bi Jin: "Bi Jin, I will ask you to work with the veterans and soon-to-be-retired veterans collected and sorted out by the Ministry of War." Especially those veterans who have enough combat experience, are not disabled, but are just getting older, how have you collected them for me? ”
"Back to Taifu, the brothers from the Military Intelligence Department and the brothers from the Military Department also helped, and the sorting out was basically completed." Bi Jin answered the question, and immediately replied with a straight and straight posture.
"How many people in total meet the requirements I told you?" Seeing him with the upright posture of a new soldier, Liu Xing felt comfortable in his heart, and continued to ask again.
Still standing upright, Bi Jin blurted out without thinking: "There are nine thousand seven hundred and twenty-five people who have been retired, and ten thousand two hundred and eleven people who are about to retire." Among them, about 30 percent of those who have joined the military and speak martial arts have joined the armed forces, and about half have joined the military reserves. Those who are absolutely loyal to you alone are about 6,000 people. ”
"Six thousand." After receiving Bi Jin's answer, Liu Xing repeated the number and lowered his head again to think for a while.
After thinking about it, Liu Xing immediately raised his head and looked at Su Quan again, and Zhengse said: "Transfer funds from my mansion and the nine major firms to Bi Jin, and let him take the lead and recruit all the six thousand people to the Hunter Valley within a month to form my private merchant army." Six thousand people is exactly two regiments, and the latest firearms and equipment stored by Brother Yelu are more than enough for two regiments. ”
