back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 711 Copper Mine
Of course, Lu Chenhuan is Lu Chengqi's man, so he wouldn't tell Lu Chengqi's backhand so quickly, otherwise, the negotiation would be ruined, and he, the commander in charge, would not have to do it.

After Wu Man, Bai Man, and Duan Silian all signed and adjourned, Lu Chenhuan said inadvertently: "Okay, since the three parties have reached an agreement, I won't say much. Your Majesty accepts the order!"

Duan Silian and the three of them were taken aback for a moment, until Fatty Lu slowly took out another copy of the imperial decree from his sleeve, they faintly felt that they seemed to have been fooled.But signing that cooperation form is tantamount to submitting to the imperial court. If you want to turn your face at this moment, I am afraid that the righteousness will not stand up.Wuman and Baiman patriarchs thought for a while, then knelt down on the ground with Duan Silian, to welcome the imperial decree.

Lu Chenhuan glanced at them, and then read slowly: "The imperial edict said: I only rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force. The military commander Rong will be the pillar of the court and the backbone of the country. He can combine both civil and military skills." If you do your best to repay you, you can lose your achievements and not praise them to favor your life. It is not the blessing of Dali, but also the blessing of Dashun. I don’t want to send people to visit the border affairs, and the thieves and thieves disturb my southwest. You help the past and the present Po animal husbandry, close in the ban. How can we kill each other, Xizhi ordered to play, suddenly let the Yidi joke? I deeply thought that "to fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside." For Pixun, Wang Er and others will temporarily take Wubian and add Piji. I want to make the copper mine close to Dali, and if there is any fighting with weapons in the future, I will definitely be severely punished. It is said in the "Dashun Law" that private individuals are not allowed to mine any mineral deposits. Today, I have licensed Wuman and Baiman to collect it, which is really a deep family. In order to prevent other people from stealing it, I sent the Supervision Department to supervise it, and then permanently set up a forbidden army here to guard the southwest. Qinzai. October [-]th in the fourth year of Hongxiang Four."

Generally speaking, the imperial decree of the emperor is divided into three types: edict, system, and edict.The edict is an edict to the world, such as "the edict of sin against one's own self".Book making is used by the emperor to express his favor and announce to all officials.The edict said "has the sense of warning. When the emperor added officials to the ranks, he warned officials to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and make persistent efforts. Don't be arrogant and complacent, and be arrogant because of favors. Almost the entire text of Lu Chenhuan's edict is Rebukes are rare.

In particular, it is also written later that the most deadly thing is to keep the imperial army stationed in Dali for a long time.To put it nicely, it is to prevent the attack of cochin, but in fact, who doesn't know, it is to prevent someone from stealing ore mining?I didn’t know it was okay before, I was fighting for the benefits of fields, water sources, tea-horse trails, etc. Now that I have found out the copper mines in Shanchanfu (later Kunming), do you still care about those petty profits?
Smart people thought, since there are copper mines in Shanchan Prefecture, are there any other places?
As long as there is, it will definitely be found out.After finding out, how could it be possible to guard Jinshan without using it?Even if the imperial court repeatedly promulgates five orders to prohibit the private mining of mines, the money can't help but move people's hearts!Those Wuman and Baiman patriarchs, who didn't have this idea in mind!

It's a pity that they can imagine it, and Lu Chengqi also wants it, and he knows much more details than them.In later generations, the tourism industry in Yunnan was developed. Lu Chengqi had also been to Yunnan, and he knew that besides tourism and tobacco industry, Yunnan also had non-ferrous metals as an economic pillar.There are many kinds of non-ferrous metals in Yunnan, but Lu Chengqi only remembers copper mines, silver mines and small gold mines.Moreover, the Dongchuan Copper Mine located in Shanchanfu has been still being mined from the Western Han Dynasty to the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is conceivable that its reserves are huge.

Lu Chengqi is not worried that the Dongchuan Copper Mine will be mined out, he is just worried that someone will discover other mines and mine them privately.Mining without permission is equivalent to not knowing how much copper, iron, silver and gold have been produced. If it is smuggled abroad, it will be a loss to the court.At this time, copper, iron, silver, and gold are all hard currencies, and can even be used as money, so they must not be allowed to flood.So the imperial court made a one-size-fits-all rule that no one can mine without permission, and once found out, he will be sentenced to death.

After hearing the imperial decree, Duan Silian looked thoughtful, while Wuman and Baiman's patriarchs were ashen-faced, thinking: "What a 'bringing the king into the urn'!"

But now the situation is stronger than others, even if they want to turn their faces, it will be in vain.The dark-hearted Fatty Lu has already surrounded their clansmen for the sake of negotiation.If you want to resist, it must be a dead end.The shining swords, guns and arrows are hanging above the head!
After Lu Chenhuan handed over the imperial decree to Duan Silian, he said with a hidden knife in his smile: "Since the three of you have accepted the decree, I will go now to take all your weapons back to the imperial court. These knives, guns and sticks are not something ordinary people can handle." Playing, hurting people, how bad..."

The faces of the two patriarchs were cramped, but they could only knock out their teeth and swallow their blood: "The general is right, the general is right..."

Lu Chenhuan laughed and said: "The imperial court does not treat the people of Dali Mansion badly. After confiscating the weapons, they will make utensils, such as kitchen knives, boilers, hoes, and shovels, and distribute them to the people. I think Huangzhuang has already It will arrive soon, I would estimate that it will definitely not be within ten days..."

"How can I bother the court to spend money?"

"Where where..."

The four of them made excuses, and after a meal, they dispersed.As for how to curse behind the scenes, it is no longer known.

The next day, the four of them agreed to go to see the copper mine together.This is a major event related to the court's future coinage, and Lu Chenhuan dare not neglect it.Accompanied by the prefect of Shanchan Prefecture and other imperial officials.Because Dali has Duan's family, it is equivalent to the magistrate, so the imperial court did not send court officials to hinder it, which gave the Duan family enough face.The Duan family is also peaceful and quiet, and never messes up.It is only responsible for local taxation and maintaining order, but like other state capitals, [-]% of the tax revenue goes to the imperial court, and [-]% stays in the local area for expenditure.

A group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses galloped to the outskirts of Shanchan Mansion.Dali and Shanchan Mansion are separated by hundreds of miles, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. It took five or six days to get there.When they arrived at Shanchan Mansion, the prefect came out to accompany him non-stop after getting the news.The soil around the Dongchuan Copper Mine is brownish red, and if you look at it normally, it is no different from ordinary soil.But who knew that under this soil, there is a copper mine with amazing reserves?
After Fatty Lu and others climbed the mountain, looking at the rolling mines, everyone felt relaxed and happy.

Until then, the Wuman and Baiman patriarchs were relieved.They were not greedy before and wanted to open a copper mine privately.But in the Dongchuan Copper Mine in front of me, even with all his life's efforts, he can only dig out a drop in the bucket.That being the case, why bother to look far away?Even if they hire their clansmen to open mines, they will be paid the same wages, but with a [-]% profit, what is this little wages worth?
No wonder the imperial court wants to prohibit private mining, this is Nugget Mountain!

After Lu Chenhuan was shocked, he said with a smile: "Everyone, with this copper mine, do you still have to fight for land, water and tea-horse trails?"

Duan Silian also laughed and said: "How can that little money be compared with the copper mine in front of me? I am ashamed of the court's generosity!"

Fatty Lu laughed in his heart: "It's really good to be a good boy!"
