Chapter 576 Listi United Society
"How much?" Meng Ao and Meng Tian said in unison. They both suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
Meng Yi was not surprised at all when they were shocked. His expression was even more surprised at that time.
"There is a mine worth more than 20 billion yuan, but no one except Mr. knows about it now. Even the Japanese people want to know it after a thousand years.
The teacher said that Japan was in the Edo period at that time, and after more than 400 years of mining, it was still not fully mined. "Meng Yi explained.
"What the hell. Does your Majesty know that there is so much silver?" Meng Ao asked first.
Meng Yi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, maybe I don't know, or maybe Zhang Han or the princess told Your Majesty.
But my husband said that more money is not better, as long as it is stable, otherwise too much money will only cause disaster in the market. "
"How do you say this?" Meng Ao asked confused.
"Uncle," Meng Yi explained, "Originally, one tael of silver could buy ten shi of rice, but not many people could afford that much rice at once.
Even if everyone has money, they will not spend it like this, but spend it bit by bit.
However, the imperial court suddenly mined a thousand taels of silver, and all of this silver suddenly entered the hands of the people, or was rewarded by His Majesty to the three armies. "
The soldiers suddenly had a lot of money in their hands, and they would definitely spend it.
When there is suddenly more silver on the market, prices will rise. Originally, one tael of silver could buy ten shi of rice, but now it can only buy eight shi. The more money flows in, the higher the price of food.
Of course, not only the price of food but also other commodities will increase in price as a result.
"Isn't it true that there is a treasure mountain in vain?" Meng Ao said.
"That won't happen, as long as we develop business." Meng Yi said, "It is certain that the price of goods will increase. On the contrary, when the price of goods increases, workers' wages will also increase.
Therefore, we need to develop business. If Japan wants to develop rapidly, it first needs people.
My father said that Japan currently has a population of only one or two thousand people, but many people in Baiyue have fled to Japan to avoid the war.
Now this group of people have become the common people of Japan, no, they are all the common people of Great Qin.
In order to prevent them from escaping again, their father gave them land, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, rice and other advanced grain seeds, as well as many farm tools, and worked with everyone to dig wasteland.
However, even so, there are only tens of thousands of people in Japan at present.
The only solution for now is to relocate the population and send people from various countries to Japan. As long as everyone is treated equally, I believe it won't be long before the imperial court can completely control Japan. "
Meng Ao nodded and said: "Okay, let you handle this matter yourself. Although the eldest father is old and does not understand many things, he can still sit in charge of the Meng family.
Say no more, come on, have a drink. "
"Drink." Meng Tian and Meng Yi said at the same time.
That night one of them came home drunk, and when they went to court the next day, both of them still smelled of alcohol, causing everyone around them to cover their noses.
Ying Zheng just frowned slightly and said nothing.
Li Si said at this time: "Reporting to your majesty, hundreds of orders for new farm tools have been received. It is necessary to set up a special workshop to produce new farm tools. Wei Chen suggested building a new workshop outside the city to specialize in the production of new farm tools."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Now that the order has been accepted, we must deliver the new farm tools to the other party as soon as possible.
New farm tools are related to national conditions and should have been controlled by the imperial court. However, it is easy for the imperial court to control them, but it is difficult for the new farm tools to be updated.
Therefore, I decided to leave the production of new farm tools to the private sector. It's still the old rules, anyone can participate, the one with the highest price gets it, and a share of the profit belongs to the emperor.
Li Si, you are responsible for this matter, and the Tiangong Bureau will be responsible for the technology until the workshop is established. "
"No," Li Si replied, "I have something to report."
"It's accurate." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Yesterday, the imperial court just posted a notice that each village can establish a rural collective federation. This policy is very beneficial to the imperial court and the people.
But the people don't understand. Many of them are not enlightened and will only follow the trend blindly. Once you blindly follow the trend, you may not get any benefits, but it will harm them.
Therefore, Weichen suggested establishing ten pilot projects, each with a certain distance, and developing rural collective federations based on actual conditions. "
"It's accurate," Ying Zheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Si said again, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have another suggestion."
"What suggestions?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty," Li Si said again, "Once a rural collective federation is established, it will definitely need a complete set of management and professional talents.
Therefore, Weichen suggested setting up a department specifically responsible for the United Society to recruit talents. "
"Your Majesty." Feng Quji said, "Recruiting talents is a good thing, but now we need talents everywhere. The Ministry of Household Affairs suddenly has too many talents, so should the other five departments also recruit talents?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Indeed, talents are needed everywhere now. So I want to set up an education ministry to specially train talents.
This matter will be discussed later. Rural collective alliances are more important. Li Si, what talents do you need and how many do you need? Do you have any ideas? "
"Yes." Li Si said, "Since rural collective alliances are for the benefit of the people, that is, doing business, developing breeding industries, etc.
Well, they first need businessmen, or people who have relationships with businessmen. To put it bluntly, they can treat the villagers of the rural collective federation as workers, and the businessmen will give them money.
Of course, the two are in a cooperative relationship, not really part-time jobs.
For example, a businessman's family owns a restaurant. He needs a lot of ingredients every day. In order to save costs, he can go to the rural collective federation to purchase goods.
In the joint cooperative, not only food is grown, but also various vegetables are grown, and pigs and cows are also raised.
You can even buy technology to raise fish, crabs, and various poultry. Don't be afraid if you can't raise them well. You can ask the court for help, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will help them solve it. "
"Does Hubu have this strength?" Feng Quji asked.
"We don't have the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the farmers have them." Li Si said with a smile, "The farmers will be included in the Ministry of Households and be responsible for agricultural matters.
Mr. Feng, agriculture is not just farming, but also raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish and other poultry. "
Li Si's words seemed to be meant for Feng Quji, but in fact they were meant for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Feng Quji had actually known about this for a long time. He didn't go to Zhaojiacun in vain.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "You are responsible for this matter. Let's test ten villages first to see if the people you recruit can take on such a big thing."
"No." Li Si responded loudly and excitedly.
