Chapter 190

Ling Qingyu paused. Lingjia village is still short of people, especially experienced miners and smelters, as well as craftsmen. "You should go to sea, but you can rest assured that there is no problem with safety and food in the future. You should pay wages according to the output every month, and rice grain is provided free of charge according to the population."

Liu Jueming was overjoyed and his wife glanced at each other, and asked incredulously, "is there such a good place?"

Ling Qingyu laughed and said, "I have something to do now. I'll give you the fare. You go to Hangzhou to find my steward first. He will arrange for you to board the ship. Are you afraid of death and being cheated?"

Liu Jueming nodded and asked carefully, "most of the iron households in our village and the surrounding villages can't live anymore. Can we go together?"

This is a dead family... No wonder when I came in, I felt that there was no popularity here. Ling Qingyu sighed, "it's no problem to go, but if you all move, it's not good to be known by the government. It's best to walk separately. Besides, except you, don't let people know where you are going, just say you can't live anymore, and find a way elsewhere."

Liu Jueming understood at first thought, nodded and said, "what the girl said is that it's still the Spring Festival, and the government has less control over it. If you want to leave, you have to take advantage of this time. Don't worry, the girl will never be involved. I just discuss with the villagers whether to go out and find a way to live, and I'll leave if I'm willing."

"Well." Ling Qingyu nodded.

"Well, I'll ask now?" Liu Jueming rubbed his hands and asked. Seeing Ling Qingyu nodding, he got up and went out.

Not only the agricultural tax, but also the mining tax is killing people. How far has the situation come this week? Ling Qingyu's vegetables can't taste in his mouth.

"The head of the family, do you say there is gold mine here?" Han Liang sat beside Ling Qingyu and asked in a low voice.

"There should be, but no one may find it at this time, in the small Qinling Mountains." Ling Qingyu also whispered.

"If they want to leave, their registered residence will be useless. They can borrow their names to buy this mountain forest first." Han Liang whispered. Although the management of miners is together with the registered residence, it is not together with the land deeds, so there are loopholes to be exploited.

Only when Liu Jueming came back and said how many people wanted to go together, Han Liang gave up the idea. His mother, the people in the surrounding ten villages were all empty!

"When I went to ask, the people in the village over there were also discussing whether to fight to the death or move to another place. If I were here again, I was afraid that all the people would die." Liu Jueming said, his voice was a little chatty. In this way, there were hundreds of people with families, indeed a lot.

Ling Qingyu was also a little stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, "if you go together, I'm afraid you'll have some drilling. It's divided into two parts, one to Hangzhou and the other to Quanzhou." If there is no accident, Zhu Weili has found mines in Australia and Papua, and these people can work as skilled workers.

"Can you go?" Liu Jueming was not happy.

"Yes, you can go in two ways. On the other way, you can find a reliable person to lead the team. I'll give you onehundred Liang silver as the fare first." Seeing that Liu Jueming's eyes narrowed with laughter, Ling Qingyu slightly cooled his face and said, "but I have to say it first. After I go, I will listen to me. My men will not be treated badly as long as they are willing to work, but if they have selfishness and betray, don't blame me for being cruel."

Liu Jueming was stunned, and then said, "what the girl said looks down on us. The girl saved us, and we also know the good or bad. If someone did something like that, Liu would kill him first without waiting for the girl to do it."

"So good." Ling Qingyu nodded and said with a smile, "please discuss the specific route with Mr. Han. We'll leave at dawn. You can wait two days before leaving. Remember, don't hype up and go secretly."

"We saved it." Liu Jueming nodded.

Ling Qingyu asked Ying shisan to take 50 liang of silver coins and 50 Guan copper coins to Liu Jueming, and asked, "is that enough?" Without waiting for Liu Jueming to speak, he thought for a moment and said to Ying 13, "take another fifty Liang silver coins. How much copper money do we have?"

"Enough, enough." Liu Jueming hurriedly said, so much money!

"There are still thirty copper coins. If we are in charge, we should keep some." Shadow thirteen way, or go out to buy a steamed stuffed bun and hand it to someone else for one Ding fifty liang of silver, or a silver ticket, and they don't shoot you directly!

"Take the ingot of silver, and you break it up and give it to him." Lingqingyu said.

A pile of silver coins, 70 copper coins, and Wang Jiawei, the other leader of the team, watched for a long time without making a sound, and then knelt down to Ling Qingyu and kowtowed his head three times. His forehead and heart were all knocked and bleeding, and said, "don't dare to forget the grace of saving your life, girl!"

Ling Qingyu quickly helped him up and said, "don't say that. Mutual benefit, ha ha."

After tossing and turning all night, he didn't sleep at all. Before dawn, Han Liang hurried on the road. The action here was so big that they couldn't leave their traces.

Even their letters to Hangzhou and Quanzhou were not left, including their own names. They just said to go to the place on the dock where there were sailors to be recruited.

Of course, the letter explaining the matter here will be passed through the channel. The men get on the ship as sailors, and the women and children can only sneak across.

Lingbao county is not big. It's just a street and an inn. You have no choice but to stay.

When Han Liang went to exchange copper money, Ling Qingyu wanted to go shopping.

"You haven't recovered from your injury and didn't sleep last night. Just rest here first. Thirteen are fine." Lingqingyu said.

"Thirteen has been driving all day, so he needs a rest." Yan San put on his coat and said. After repeated accidents, he dared not let her out of his sight again.

Hey, also, Su mu, his appearance is too eye-catching. Even if he is fully armed now and his hair is not exposed, his whole body is wrapped in black, which is even more weird. This can't be taken shopping, Xie Sanlang... This bear child is still forget it. He can bury him if he buys something!

Although it is still in the first month, there are very few pedestrians on the street. With a sense of depression, there are few shops that haven't opened for the new year.

After shopping for a while, Ling Qingyu was a little discouraged.

Seeing a snack bar open the door, he pulled Yan San into the shop.

Asked for a bowl of noodles and a few stone pancakes, and they sat in the shop and ate.

Yan San saw Ling Qingyu eating happily and asked, "delicious?"

"Well, it tastes good. Try it." Ling Qingyu breaks open a baked cake and eats it as a fragrance.

Yan San shook his head and grabbed a chopstick noodles. As long as he ate, there was nothing bad to eat. No wonder he would never forget Lu Yao's craft. Cooking was not difficult.

"I heard that another family died in Majiazhai." Several local people came in while talking, ordered some noodles and baked cakes, and sat down and said.

"Many families have died. Now there are no mines in the pit. Ask those miners to go there to find mines. Alas, do evil."

"Did you see the notice outside the county yamen?"

"We don't know words. Tell me, what's it written?"

"It's said that the government wants to sell the mountain in Xiaoqinling. If you are willing to buy it, you can go to the government to buy it."

"Xiaoqinling? How much?"

"100000 liang of silver."

"The county magistrate is crazy about money. The little Qinling Mountains are not planted on the ground, and the trees are not worth money. Why is it worth the price?"

"If you can't collect the tax, don't try to find a way to make up for it?"

The locals ate fast, and soon ate and left.

Seeing that the money they threw on the table seemed a little different, Ling Qingyu looked sideways.

"What else do you want, girl?" The landlady came to collect the money. Seeing Ling Qingyu's appearance, she asked.

"This money is not copper money, is it?" Ling Qingyu pointed to the coin in her hand and asked.

"This is iron money, isn't the girl Lingbao? From the Central Plains? We also use this money here, but this money is light, not comparable to copper money." The proprietress shook her head, and then turned around and shouted to the boss, "the Chen child has given three iron coins less."

Iron money, the economy in the Northern Song Dynasty was deeply affected by light money. I originally thought that there was no such thing in Dazhou, but it was just that there was no place I had been to.

"What?" Seeing her dignified expression, Yan San asked unconsciously.

"There is something wrong with Da Zhou's finances." Ling Qingyu lowered her voice and said to Yan San, saying that Yan San didn't understand the reason. It's better to talk about the result directly, and then said, "among the third division, only the Ministry of household is under the Dong family, and the others are Wang family. If there is a problem with the national finance, the third division will bear the brunt, and then the military expenditure. Hey hey, see how their two families deal with it."

She smiled cunningly. Yan San didn't feel a smile. She was different from him. Yan San's method of solving hatred was very direct and violent, while Ling Qingyu liked to turn so many ways. Sometimes Yan San felt that she just enjoyed the feeling of drawing all the money in others' pockets, especially those of her enemies, into her own pockets.

Returning to the inn, Ling Qingyu gave the Shaobing he brought back to several people who didn't have to go out. Ling Qingyu pulled Han Liang, who had just returned, to discuss secretly.

"You mean to buy the little Qinling mountain." Han Liang asked.

"Yes, if the county magistrate really wants to subsidize the tax class, then this matter will be very anxious, and our identity check will not be so strict. Didn't the stone bring a guide? In his name, he said he liked the landscape here and wanted to build a Taoist temple or something." Lingqingyu said.

Taoist Temple! Han Leng burst out laughing, then nodded and said, "OK, I'll go to the county yamen."

Ling Qingyu took out a stack of silver tickets and said, "take the stone, and then we should use the silver tickets as soon as possible. I estimate that the silver tickets will depreciate soon."

"Why?" Han Liang surprised.

"Today, when I was eating on the street, someone next to me paid with iron money. I calculated that the store received three iron coins for one copper coin. I ask you, how much iron money is consumed on Shaanxi Road?" Lingqingyu asked.

Han Liang murmured for a moment, his face sank, and said, "it costs a lot. There are large-scale iron coins in Sichuan and Shaanxi roads, but the official price is one to one."

"And I saw that he paid a relatively large copper coin. If it was calculated according to what they ate, would that large copper coin be ten dollars?" Lingqingyu asked.

"Yes." Han Liang nodded.

"The cost of forging ten coins and iron coins is only one third of that of copper coins. Such money will naturally be light and heavy after long use, resulting in depreciation. If someone mints it privately, it will aggravate this trend. You see, before long, the imperial court is afraid that it will adjust the exchange ratio of iron coins. If the currency itself is chaotic and the people in the imperial court are short-sighted, it is easy to cause the collapse of the currency system. Another thing is that today's mining The tax affairs class is so heavy that the miners have fled, so the output of copper and iron will be affected, and the casting of copper money will also be sharply reduced. When the money standard currency is reduced, so to speak, what will happen if the silver note in our hand does not match the copper money or silver that can be exchanged in fact, which is far lower than the physical object? " Ling Qingyu himself said something in a cold sweat. Grandma's, I still have five million silver tickets! Not only, but also Han Liang, Zheng Xi and Cai Jingfang.
