Chapter 566 Punch Hu Guang 0 Miles Away
Jinling, Zhu Di's mood has been a little erratic recently, sometimes furious, sometimes calm.
At this time, he was holding a memorial, and he became angry when he saw the back.
"Nizi! Nizi!"
Seeing that Zhu Di's beard was blowing up, Hu Guang quickly tried to persuade him.
Zhu Di waved the memorial and said: "The so-called chieftain's rebellion was only more than a thousand people. The rebellious son was wiped out in just two days, but he actually wiped out another chieftain. Mu Sheng complained, saying that it was something else. The chieftain wants Daming to give an explanation."
Yang Rong raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, why worry, those chieftains are just bullying the weak and fearing the hard, that's all. With the shock of His Highness the King of Han, I think they will be more peaceful in the future."
Zhu Di said angrily: "I don't know, it's just that this Nizi went from Jiaozhi to Yunnan, so he doesn't want to come back?"
Speaking of this, several auxiliary ministers stopped talking.
But everyone knows that the king of Han has been in Jinling for a long time, so when he got the chance to go out, he was like a wild horse that had been imprisoned for several years, and immediately began to act wild.
After Zhu Di vented his anger, he picked up the following memorial and read it.
After reading the memorial, Zhu Di murmured, "Xing Hebo's memorial said that the entire territory of Jiaozhi was pacified. How long have the people from the Ministry of Rites been gone?"
Lu Zhen remained silent all this time, and when he heard Zhu Di's question, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, according to the time, they have almost arrived at the Jiaozhou capital."
Hu Guang glanced at Lu Zhen indiscriminately. The last time Zhu Di asked Lu Zhen to send someone to issue an edict, he almost lost his composure on the spot, but now he looks back to his usual expression.
Sure enough, they are all human beings! He knew that as long as he hugged His Majesty's thigh tightly, it would be nothing to suffer a little grievance.
Zhu Di squinted at the people below, and suddenly said: "Xing Hebo found a copper mine in Guihua Zhili Prefecture, how about the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
what rice?
This news immediately detonated everyone's emotions, and Hu Guang lost his composure. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how much copper can the copper mine produce?"
Zhu Di looked at the ministers playfully, and said calmly: "Uncle Xinghe invited the old craftsman to look around, and said that the content is high and the reserves are large. There must be tens of millions of catties."
Tens of millions of catties?
Hu Guang's breathing was a little short,
Said: "Your Majesty, I think that I will send troops to lock up that area immediately, and then send people to re-survey. If it is true, Your Majesty, I have to relocate some people to Jiaozhi."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to visit Cochin."
Xia Yuanji was already overwhelmed with excitement, tens of millions of catties! The copper mines in the Central Plains are widely distributed, but the grade is low and the mining cost is high.
And he knew that Fang Xing would not exaggerate on such a big matter, except for the transportation problem of the copper mine, everything was easy to talk about.
Zhu Di shook his head, but did not agree to Xia Yuanji's request.
"Xing Hebo said that mining copper mines is very harmful to people, so he discussed with Huang Fu and put all the Cochin men with unknown household registrations into one place. Including prisoners of war, hundreds of thousands of people can still provide them."
Well!
Hu Guang was stunned, he felt that he was punched by Fang Xing who was far away from the cochin, and his chest felt tight.
Xia Yuanji looked at this matter from a different angle: "Your Majesty, even if copper is produced from Cochin, how can it be transported to the Central Plains? That man's consumption of horse chews is not low!"
The copper material itself is heavy, and if it is pulled back to the Central Plains for thousands of miles by ox cart and horse-drawn cart, the cost is really impressive.
Hu Guang frowned and said, "If that's the case...you can order the guards in various places to transport them along the way."
This method is good, at least it can minimize the cost and difficulty, and it is the same as the canal model that has already been opened.
Yang Shiqi nodded and said: "This is the only way, but you have to be careful of the thieves along the way."
Copper is money these days, if there is no protection along the way, someone will definitely start with jealousy.
Zhu Di said faintly between his eyebrows: "Xing Hebo proposed to take the sea route, what do you think?"
This was another bomb, and Hu Guang immediately raised his vigilance when it exploded.
A considerable proportion of civil servants believed that Zheng He's fleet should be stopped from going out to sea again. Could Fang Xing's move be to contend with civil officials from another angle?
Since ancient times, civil servants have never lacked the kind of actions of opposing for the sake of opposing, so they can't help but think about it.
Lu Zhen said calmly: "Your Majesty, the risk of sea transportation is high. If it capsizes, the loss of copper materials, ships and manpower will not be low compared to the cost of Lu Lu!"
Hu Guang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on in the copper mine at this time. It's too early to tell. Why don't we wait for the people from the Ministry of Industry to investigate?"
Xia Yuanji said anxiously: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether it is shipped by sea or land, the household department urgently needs a large amount of copper. With these coppers, the reputation of the banknote can be improved step by step!"
The biggest problem with treasure banknotes is that there is no principal, that is, empty gloves and white wolves. Once there is any movement, the common people are eager to use it, which directly leads to the collapse of value.
Zhu Di said noncommittally: "I will discuss this matter again, but after those Confucian scholars enter the government, the education of Jiaozhi will inevitably stagnate, Lu Zhen."
"His Majesty."
Lu Zhen only felt the bitterness in his mouth, and the hatred in his heart could almost drown the entire imperial city.
Zhu Di didn't seem to notice the entanglement on Lu Zhen's face, and ordered: "The Ministry of Rites will recruit some more people to go to sex, and set off as soon as possible."
What else could Lu Zhen say, he could only bow down and accept his orders.
"Designation."
Zhu Di ordered: "Order the King of Han's troops to return to Jiaozhi to guard, and the King of Han will return to the capital immediately. There must be no mistakes. As for Fang Xing... let him come back."
After Hu Guang drafted the decree, he showed it to Zhu Di, and then stamped it with a great seal.
"It's all over." Zhu Di left a little tired.
After Zhu Di left, Hu Guang and Xia Yuanji walked together and asked, "How big is the gap in the household department?"
Xia Yuanji said with a bitter face: "There is no shortage of food, but there is a shortage of copper coins."
At this time, the military settlements of the Ming Dynasty had not yet fallen, and the amount of food provided by the military settlements was huge every year, which could support multiple large-scale projects and Zhu Di's frequent use of troops.
However, there is not enough currency in the market, which has caused many people to use silver secretly, and those officials have turned a blind eye to this.
Hu Guang frowned and said: "Jiaozhi produces copper, which is a good thing for my Ming Dynasty. You can't make money in Jiaozhi."
This is talking about your bottom line.
Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "I know that if you mint money at Jiaozhi, it might be too big to lose."
If money is minted in Jiaozhi, once someone rebels, it will be a ready source of money.
Hu Guang looked at the clouds in the sky and said firmly, "The rain is coming!"
Xia Yuanji knew the meaning of these words, so he advised: "Master Hu, isn't it good for everyone to discuss state affairs in peace?"
Hu Guang looked back at Xia Yuanji, shook his head and said, "The way is different, I will leave first."
It's different! It's different again!
Xia Yuanji looked at Hu Guang's firm back, and felt that he and Fang Xing were the same people, and they were both sticking to the orthodoxy in their hearts.
No one is wrong!
What was wrong?
When the news reached Fangjiazhuang, Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were beaming and prepared to go to Tianjie Temple to offer incense, so as to repay the kindness of the Buddha for protecting Fang Xing's safety.
The teachers and students of the academy are also looking forward to it.
Without Fang Xing's academy, people always feel that they have no confidence!
