Chapter 1220

Suddenly, Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of industry who had been silent, suddenly listed and said: "I inform your majesty that casting money itself has a great fire consumption, and the face value of iron money is too small. Let alone making money, it's good to be able to break even. However, for the convenience of the people, the Ministry of industry is willing to cast iron money for the people at a fair price."

"Break even!"

Suddenly, the Minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar and looked at Zhang Liang, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of industry.

"Break even! How can this be possible? Is adult Zhang joking? When can you only break even by casting money?" Yizhou surprised Feng Guan. It was not a big joke that he had a way to raise money when he finally built the Shu Road, but he could only break even? "

"Lord Feng, don't worry. Let me calculate for you. Needless to say, the value of stainless steel, not to mention the charcoal needed to melt steel and the labor needed to cast iron money,...... but the face value we cast is only fifty cents and one jiao. The iron money of fifty cents may make some money, and the one Jiao is doomed to lose money." Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of industry, calculated the cost of iron money one by one, and the cost and wages were almost the same, which completely failed everyone's idea of making a lot of money by casting money.

Feng Guan's heart is getting colder and colder. Stainless steel has just appeared and is popular in Datang. The price is not low, let alone the cost of casting money. I'm afraid I won't make much money.

Confucian officials immediately showed a knowing smile. Mohist Zi was really extraordinary and almost made him succeed. Unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven. He never thought that casting money can only guarantee capital. It is impossible to take the opportunity to raise much money.

Chang sun Chong even sneered in his heart. This time he wanted to see what tricks the Mohists had.

However, Merton did not panic and said, "tell your majesty that the stainless steel secret technology is the ink technology that Weichen has already announced. Naturally, it is not the ink technology that Weichen said. The secret technology that Weichen said is the latest hydraulic stamping secret technology of Mohism."

"The secret technique of hydraulic stamping!" Li Shimin wondered if this ink technique could enable the imperial court to successfully raise 3 million yuan.

"Yes, the secret technique of hydraulic stamping is the latest forging technique of Mojia village. It is specially made by Mojia for forging stainless steel. It takes no manpower, only needs hydraulic drive, and the process is advanced. The stainless steel objects produced are not only exquisite, but also cheap. If the imperial court uses the secret technique of hydraulic stamping, it can reduce the cost of money casting by 50%. In addition, Mojia village will Supply the imperial court with stainless steel at a fair price, and the casting cost of iron money will be reduced by another 20%. "Merton waved his big hand.

The cost of forging iron coins was reduced by 50% and then 20%. The imperial court could guarantee the capital. Now it uses the secret technique of hydraulic stamping. Isn't it an instant profit.

"Seriously?" citizen Li was pleasantly surprised. Although the face value of iron money is small, the victory lies in the large amount. Once it makes a profit, it is not impossible to run through three million.

"Yes, and the secret technique of hydraulic stamping is the most advanced forging technique in the Tang Dynasty. It can't be imitated at all. Once the iron money is issued, there will be no fake money." Merton promised that the iron money forged by ordinary technology can only keep the principal. Naturally, no one will take the risk to imitate the iron money without making money.

"Congratulations, your majesty. With the secret skill of hydraulic stamping, you can forge iron money. I have made a huge fortune in the Tang Dynasty out of thin air. However, I am still opposed to using this money to build Shu roads. Now my Tang Dynasty is full of waste and waiting to prosper. With the injection of this 3 million iron money, it will certainly benefit all the people in the world." Yu Zhining saw that the Mexican family had turned the situation around. He immediately knew that nothing could be done. His heart moved, Suddenly the idea of iron money came into play.

"The minister proposed to harness the Yellow River first. The harm of the Yellow River endangers tens of millions of people, which is more urgent than the Shu Road." Chang sun Wuji proposed.

"My minister suggested that we take the opportunity to build more brick roads. The role of brick roads is well known all over the world. Once we build more brick roads, the economy of the Tang Dynasty will soar again, and then we will naturally have money to build Shu roads." Zhang Liang, the Minister of industry, proposed.

"I propose that we use this money to popularize compulsory education, which is a grand plan for a century,......."

………………………………

For a moment, the profit of the cast iron money was still on paper. The chaotang princes had another idea. Each one was high sounding and had a long way to go.

Yizhou made Feng Guan angry and said, "it's unreasonable. In order to prevent the construction of the new Shu Road, you advanced the Treasury money in advance. Now you rely on the ink technology of the ink Hou and found a way to raise money. You even came out to rob again. It's too deceptive."

Yu Zhining said with awe inspiring Justice: "don't be angry, Lord Feng. There are priorities. Now the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is coming, and there is an urgent need for funds for construction. I can guarantee that the imperial court can definitely gather money to successfully build the new Shu Road in 50 years, no, 30 years."

"Thirty years, even three years, I can't wait, nor can the people in Shu!" Feng Guan said angrily. The people in Sichuan and Shu have been waiting for thousands of years and are eager to see it. Now let them wait another 30 years. I'm afraid he will be scolded by the people when he returns to Sichuan and Shu.

"Your Majesty is also requested to make decisions for the minister!" Hanzhong Ling had an idea and asked Li Shimin for orders.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

All officials also asked for orders.

Li Shimin can't help falling into a dilemma. Once three million Guan is invested in the construction of the Tang Dynasty, it goes without saying that the benefits will be generated. However, the strategic position of the new Shu Road is equally important.

"Tell your majesty, there is a saying in Mohism that good steel should be used on the blade. Whether it is to govern the Yellow River, compulsory education and build brick roads, it can be promoted step by step, while the new Shu road must be completed at one go. In the future, there will be no chance to raise three million yuan at a time without affecting the national economy and the people's livelihood." Merton solemnly saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was suddenly surprised. According to the current situation of Datang, it can be said that the annual Treasury revenue has its own purpose and can't move much money at all. Now, the expected surplus of cast iron money is almost out of thin air. Even if it is used, it will not affect Datang's established plan. Of course, the Treasury revenue will increase in the future, I'm afraid there will be more expenditure. At that time, 3 million will be used, I'm afraid it's not easy either.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin made up his mind and said, "since Mo Aiqing came out for the new Shu Road, his surplus will naturally be used on the new Shu Road."

"Your Majesty,...." Yu Zhining wanted to advise again.

"If he has the ability to earn three million more for the court, how can he has the final say?" Li Shimin will oppose one army.

Suddenly, the Confucian officials in Manchuria were speechless and contented to swallow the bitter fruit silently. They wholeheartedly surrounded the mojiazi and were defeated by the mojiazi again, which made them feel a little depressed.

"Mohist is worthy of Mohist!"

All the civil servants took a deep breath and looked at the Tai Chi hall. The young figure had a feeling of towering.
