Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 300 Preparations before the battle, Shangshu attack Japanese!
As the Minister of Rites, Li Shouzhong had too many things to consider.

At his position, if he can't make a decision with one word.

Generally, it is not easy to express opinions in the court.

Big shots like them need to retain their authority.

Only at critical moments can it play a decisive role.

For example, Zhang Songyue, the chief assistant of the cabinet, usually looks like an old god.

But as long as you open your mouth, it is basically the final decision to close the coffin.

Although Li Shouzhong didn't join the cabinet, he was one of the top civil servants.

You can't do everything by yourself.

If there is no absolute certainty, someone needs to stand in front of it.

For him, the emperor is not as important as a teacher.

Anti-counterfeiting can also be carried out by observing the texture and blowing.

How can we talk about loyalty to the emperor?

Feng Yibo was not in a hurry to review the documents, so he asked about the coins first.

"Although they were all discovered by the patrolling navy of Donghai County in time, the matter cannot be left alone, otherwise the Japanese pirates will make further progress and come back again."

Therefore, Feng Yibo immediately made a decision, and Donghai County's legal currency was officially implemented.

There are very few reports of Japanese pirates recently?

Could it be that Japanese pirates are making trouble again, but why haven't they heard the news?
Since Donghai County was attached, although the Japanese pirates have not completely disappeared.

Even if gold and silver coins are officially started to be used, the cash and silver must be recovered and remade.

Starting today, Gouzi will come to report on his daily work.

Just don't rely on firearms.

Before it opened, soldiers were already guarding it.

Every time the dog saw those gold, silver and copper coins, his mouth would grin up to his ears.

This exchange is only in and out.

As for the excuse, it doesn't really matter.

Hundreds of pieces can be suppressed at one time.

Not to mention, he is optimistic about banknotes.

It is because he is limited by his limited knowledge, and his explanations are superficial.

In his capacity, it doesn't do much.

"Now the food and weapons are almost the same, but the muskets are still a lot worse."

But, for himself.

The implementation of these first can drive a large part of currency use.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Feng Yibo no longer pays too much attention to this matter.

And because Liuqiu has taken in a lot of freshmen, there is no shortage of archers.

It was written on the document that it was a Japanese ship, so Feng Yibo wanted to confirm it again.

Yinzhuang has already started preparations, and Beigang and Xincheng each have one.

Hearing Gouzi's words, he pondered for a moment, then hesitated:
"Then start with two for each team. In addition to muskets, you also need to carry grenades and landmines. In short... special personnel are responsible for firearms."

It's the first time to play a memorial.

To do this, first burn the iron ingot red and perforate it, and then penetrate a steel rod.

Feng Yibo didn't dare to do this either.

If someone wants to imitate Liuqiu's gold and silver coins.

"Also, don't say that gold and silver coins are suppressed. The matter of hydraulic stamping is still the highest level of confidentiality."

Feng Yibo actually understands this truth, but the money matter is indeed a bit tricky.

Manchao civil and military listened at a loss.

So there has been no rush to equip imperfect muskets.

Success or failure is hard to see, not enough to determine talents.

However, copper coins are cast using the foundry method.

At the court meeting a few days later, all civil and military officials met in the Taiji Hall.

Even with the help of hydraulic forging, a few qualified ones may not be produced in a day.

Therefore, his attitude was to let Feng Yibo go to the college by himself.

Cash can be exchanged for gold and silver coins, but not back to cash.

Especially the southern officials frowned.

Avoid the value exceeding the face value due to insufficient silver coins.

And he won't name it.

Gou Zi heard the words, but shook his head and said:

Limited by the times, when it comes to coins, it will be considered as minted.

Even if the specific situation is clarified in the previous book, I am afraid it will be in vain.

It is enough to wait until the last moment to stand in line.

Since he knows the risks involved, if he does nothing.

The Japanese are not allowed to stay in the East China Sea!
Let alone a fishing boat, even if it is for business.

"No, no, just a few fishing boats."

It was not until hundreds of years later that someone revealed the secret.

While reducing losses, also test the effect of firearms.

He's still young anyway, so it's okay to say something wrong.

Now that Feng Yibo wants to start a large-scale war, he wants to add firearms to it.

The two have discussed this issue many times.

What Feng Yibo wants to launch is a war to destroy the country.

If something really went wrong with Dawei, it would not be a good thing for Donghai County.

Not allowed to explode.

Although gold mines also have associated silver mines, the output is only comparable to gold mines.

If the preparations before the battle are not sufficient, it is likely to affect the battle situation.

Craftsmen can only drill holes with iron billets, and then forge them to make barrels.

Even seven cents and two cents are silver.

From the circulation of banknotes, Feng Yibo also borrowed some experience.

To join a new unit, you still need to hone it.

Otherwise, it is necessary to reserve cash, which is not conducive to the circulation of currency.

This output will inevitably pale in comparison.

Thousands of years later, this is evidence of an inherent territory.

Compared with the limited number of hydraulic stamping machines, the casting of copper coins is much simpler.

You only need to open a few more furnaces, and you can pay tens of thousands of dollars.

He firmly believes that:
Talents are formed by tempering, and they must always be ambitious in order to make progress.

"I think it should be no problem for us to recycle and exchange at the same time."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were a little unresponsive.

The preparation is enough now, and casting will continue after the release.

The most conspicuous positions are chosen.

Because it is formed in one piece, it will be stronger.

What's more, Donghai County has already issued an announcement.

There are gold mines and copper mines in Liuqiu.

Unexpectedly, Gouzi shook his head again and replied:

It is good to have mines, and money can be made by oneself.

The form of muskets has been improving, but for the time being, it still cannot meet the standard for installation.

The two face each other across the sea, separated by a strip of water.

In terms of geography and jurisprudence, they are all opening up territories for the Central Plains dynasty.

He was about to find an excuse to send troops, and the other party sent them to his door?

The usage rate of silver coins will be much higher.

Gouzi nodded with a smile and replied:

Instead, he put more energy on his own Donghai County.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty have also become accustomed to using banknotes.

Hearing this reserve, Feng Yibo nodded in satisfaction, and said:
"It seems that our Yinzhuang can be opened. As long as we continue to cast, it should be enough for daily use."

Gouzi nodded and added:

"The king of Donghai County, Shang Shusheng, said that the Japanese kingdom has repeatedly harassed the southeast of the Wei Dynasty. In recent years, with the efforts of Donghai County, dozens of groups of Japanese pirates, large and small, have been wiped out."

The first is that the production capacity of the barrel is insufficient.

Prepare for war.

Or, that side was blinded by the momentary advantage.

In addition to fearing that the imperial court would issue bills of exchange indiscriminately, it was also because there was not enough silver to forge silver coins.

How could there be trouble again?
"Recently, there have been ships from the Japanese state, despite the dissuasion of Donghai County, using fishing as an excuse to survey the terrain near Xiaoliuqiu, trying to get involved in the territory of our Great Wei."

Just laughed off his suggestion.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell Mengzi to let him try."

After these few memorials were handed over, they were like stone sinking into the ocean.

It is not easy to intervene across departments.

He asked Donghai County to submit soil and become part of the Central Plains Dynasty.

As long as the method of casting is used, it will not be successful for hundreds of years.

Hearing Gouzi's words, he didn't continue to ask, but said:
"How are we getting ready?"

The barrel, which is forged from iron plates, is prone to cracking due to pressure.

Otherwise it is easy to affect the formation.

Feng Yibo nodded in satisfaction before starting to review the documents.

Donghai County's current trade development is based on the east-west trade.

Just as Li Shouzhong said, what he wants is "but to be worthy of my heart"!
The second is because his foundation is in Donghai County, and the foundation of Donghai County is in Dawei.

The casting pattern cannot be so delicate, and the surface cannot be as bright as a mirror.

The shogunate and ruler of the Wa Kingdom had already agreed to the Great Wei.

In case there is a day in the future, losses can also be kept to a minimum.

In terms of value, gold coins are ten times that of silver coins.

The first item of the court meeting surprised both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

After talking with Li Shouzhong, Feng Yibo wrote several memorials.

"In addition, the bank at the port must reserve more for exchange by merchants. For taxes, berths, etc., we only accept our legal currency."

"Understood, no one knows about this except me and the person in charge of coins."

"Don't worry, we only say that they are all cast."

As a result, countless people wanted to imitate, but they all failed.

The most important facilities in Donghai County, such as ports, yamen, and even brothels and so on.

Lock down the country!

Feng Yibo's current file said seriously:
"So, the Wa Kingdom still doesn't give up on Xiaoliuqiu, and dare to send troops to test it?"

"However, the Japanese ruler is incompetent, and the shogunate rule is unfavorable, and it is unable to restrain many famous names, which leads to the rampant Japanese pirates."

What's more, the immigrants from Donghai County also moved from Da Wei.

Then the iron ingot is continuously forged to form a qualified barrel.

If Feng Yibo is willing to try, then it doesn't matter.

But now, time is running out.

Hearing this, Gouzi said seriously:

The most important thing is that it is also profitable to exchange gold and silver coins.

After the ceremony, the servants came out to start today's agenda.

In addition, officials at all levels and the army are also the big heads of finances.

Unfortunately.

"I just wanted to tell you about this."

However, manual grinding is required after foundry, otherwise it will be faster.

One is that, as he said, he is afraid that the excessive issuance of banknotes will affect the national economy and the people's livelihood.

But from another perspective, Feng Yibo is a loyal minister.

The complete version of the mandarin duck array already has firearms.

According to legend, Leeuwenhoek, the father of the optical microscope, fired a 200-fold lens by gravity, but claimed that it was ground.

Liuqiu has already started preparing for the battle.

But because of the craftsmanship, it is not bad if a blacksmith can make one in a day.

Did not stir up even the slightest ripple.

As long as there are enough copper tubes, hundreds or even thousands of pieces can be produced at one time.

I always feel stuck in my heart.

What better deal than this?

Gouzi nodded when he heard the words, and said:

Exchange one silver coin to earn [-] cents and [-] cents, and [-] silver coins to earn [-] cents.

In other words, it was expected and well prepared.

The risks brought about by insufficient reserves are also explained one by one.

Then Feng Yibo naturally wanted to help them, so that the Japanese Pianfan could not enter the sea.

Regarding this, Feng Yibo didn't know what Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet thought.

To put it bluntly, it is not to judge a hero by success or failure.

"All government-run institutions, as well as personnel, as well as the salaries of officials and soldiers, will also be distributed in this form starting next month."

A silver coin costs seven cents and two cents, with a silver content of 89%.

Having had the experience of being "born under the red flag and growing in the spring breeze", he lacked even basic awe of imperial power.

Gold and silver coins are stamped by hydraulic pressure, so the speed is naturally not slow.

The turmoil in the Wa country made him very concerned.

Looking at it, he suddenly frowned and said:
"Is there any action on the Wa country?"

This is not "loyalty to the emperor", it can only be regarded as "patriotism".

Just not to make it public?

Li Chen about the harm of banknotes indiscriminately.

"Actually, it's not considered an action. It's just that our patrol fleet has captured a few ships on the side of Xiaoliuqiu."

"I will issue an order when I go back this time. In the future, Donghai County can only use gold, silver and copper coins, and other forms of gold and silver are not allowed to be used as currency."

"How are the coins prepared?"

This is very different from the previous small battles.

But the number of occurrences has also been few and far between.

Similarly, he was worried that Wei would issue money indiscriminately, not because of Emperor Jingshun.

On the contrary, the matter of changing colors into banknotes has become a regular practice after two months of trials.

Donghai County has been training soldiers and hoarding food and grass.

Feng Yibo wanted to avoid unnecessary losses as much as possible, and had high expectations for gunpowder weapons.

The importance of the right direction can be seen.

Using fishing as an excuse to survey terrain?

So the other party can't understand these financial issues?
Or are you as optimistic as Li Shouzhong?

With such a strong heart, who can say that he is not a loyal minister?

The two are inseparable.

To be honest, Feng Yibo is not a loyal minister.

Thinking of anti-counterfeiting, he exhorted:

Think what he said is all nonsense?
Two months passed in a flash, but Feng Yibo has not waited for an answer.

If it is not calculated correctly, silver coins are easy to use and easy to count.

In his opinion, Feng Yibo still needs to practice.

Previously, Feng Yibo cashed all the money orders.

However, just try and you will find out.

At that time, countless Li people will be involved.

In general, the emperor is regarded as a high-level leader.

Hearing this, Feng Yibo thought for a while, and finally waved his hands and said:

Hydraulic stamping itself has the function of anti-counterfeiting.

But no silver mines.

Only the captain will be equipped with two grenades, and they are not allowed to use them lightly.

Donghai County has been developing gunpowder weapons for the past two years.

"Forget it, let's experiment in a small area first, and the rest will be discussed in the future."

Gouzi grinned and said with a smile:
"Now we have about 30 gold coins, almost 200 million silver coins, and more than [-] million copper coins."

Li Shouzhong even hoped that he would be denied several times.

It's not bad to say a few words behind your back.

Although it won't hurt Feng Yibo's concern for the country and the people, but he still somewhat disapproves of it.

Behind it is the Black Dragon Mansion.

Feng Yibo's request for a fight was just a formality.

This mysterious Donghai County King, except for the time when he offered soil to belong to him.

So fishing boats are not a problem.

The problem is that they can't go to sea!

Speaking of this, the waiter officer also paused slightly, and then read out:

"Therefore, the king of Donghai County has sent a letter to ask for a fight. Only by landing in the Japanese country and giving the Japanese pirates a hard blow, can we not bear the responsibility of guarding the sea frontier entrusted by the Holy Majesty!"
