Chapter 1488
"The master has no time to take care of housework. The utensils in the house are all old things. The day before yesterday, I heard the master mentioned his preference for bamboo ware. I think you are also exquisite, so you might as well leave it like that." So he said to Li San: "You will buy new things in the mansion. You will bring tools to the mansion tomorrow. Don't worry about eating and drinking, and you will earn a lot of money."
Li Sanyi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Bodhisattva is compassionate." , Bodhisattva is merciful. The villain will arrive at your house tomorrow morning and dare not neglect."
The graceful woman is slightly nodded and turned back to the sedan chair.
The green girl grinning said: "Hey, yours." After speaking, she took out a purse, weighed it and handed it to Li San: "This is a deposit."
Li San was pleasantly surprised, secretly said that this time the owner is particular, so he opened it and took a look, and saw that the coins were brilliant, golden-bright and dazzling, so extraordinary.
But Li San was stunned, grabbed a few coins and said: "What kind of money is this?"
The maid said with a smile: "New coins. Don't you know? "
"New currency?!" Li San said dazedly: "Is that the new currency that the village chief said?"
The maid said: "Probably. I want to come to the government to be a list." , It was announced."
Li San hesitated for a moment: "Can it be used?"
"Yes." The maid said: "You are a person, don't you know? From today onwards, all merchants in the city will use new currency for transactions."
While speaking, he turned around and left, saying: "Remember to come early tomorrow. Yingfu in the city, don't forget it."
>"Ying Mansion in the City?!" Li San's mouth opened wide, and his heart trembled.
This is Kaifeng up and down, also how many Yingfu in the city?
...
The implementation of the new currency is very smooth. Sure enough, it looks good and is very easy to accept. The appearance of the new currency is several times higher than that of silver ingots and copper coins.
Starting from the merchants, the commoners were affected in the transaction, and spread to the commoners. Finally, the gentry hesitated to remove the silver wax gourd and gold bricks hidden in the cellar and exchange them for new coins. .
In this period of time, Kaifeng's business is extremely prosperous. Not only because of the new currency, but also because of the bumper harvest.
Because of the bumper harvest, the family property of anyone who didn't have anything before became substantial in an instant. This has a lot of impact on the landlord and gentry—the grains they had hidden in the past years are not worth anymore.
So they swarmed and moved out the stored grain and sold it.
It's not unsellable, it's easy to sell. Henan is a bumper harvest, but the environment of the entire Divine Province is not. The overwhelming majority places are short of food, even in the south of the Yangtze River, they are also short of food.
Due to the development of industry and commerce in Jiangnan, at the end of Ming Dynasty, the output of food was reduced a lot, but the land was used to grow cash crops, such as cotton and linen, such as mulberry, for sericulture and weaving. , In order to make huge profits.
This has led to a misnomer of the original land of fish and rice. There is also a shortage of food.
As long as there is a means to transport the grain here to sell elsewhere, there will be profits.
Furthermore, the government has fixed the price of food, which has formed a kind of protection for the landlords and gentry, so that their food will not be sold at a low price.
Of course, low sales are not good enough. The price must be at the lower limit of the range. The quality of the new grain is higher than that of the old grain. No one eats the old grain anymore.
The improved varieties of Dijiyi, the grain produced, not only has high yield, short cycle, and various benefits, but also incomparable taste.
This also makes Kaifeng's grain trade in a frenzy.
However, the grain trade is mostly based on old grain. Most of the new grains are concentrated in Ying Yi's hands. No one sells the surplus of commoners, or because they are so hungry. Even if it is sold, the first choice is the government, not the merchant.
The hoarding of grain has been a national policy of Ying Yi's regime for a long time. The government's purchase of grain is by no means lower than that of merchants. People trust Ying Yi more, which is beyond doubt.
The active business has brought more vitality to Kaifeng, giving commoners more income channels, and the people's hearts are becoming more stable.
Not only are the local businessmen in Henan, there are also many businessmen outside Henan. The eyes and ears of businessmen are often smart. And business needs a peaceful environment. Henan has business opportunities and is stable, which is naturally attractive.
This also makes Ying Yi's new currency and a very small part of the new grain out of Henan, spreading to all directions.
Of course, Ying Yi is happy to see the spread of the new currency. As for the new grains, some people think that buying a batch of new grains can be used as seeds. But this does not exist.
When it was improved, Ying Yi had a setting.
Improved seeds can only be planted for one season. At least in Ying Yi's plan, this restriction will not be lifted for a period of time.
Although Ying Yi has pity for commoners, she is also an ambitious and ruthless character. He also hopes that the channel for commoners to obtain good seeds is him, to collect people's hearts, rather than other ways.
So some people’s selfish calculations are destined to fail.
In Ying Yi’s plan, it will not take a few years to unify Divine Province. Commoners everywhere will hold them back for a while, and they will soon be in their turn.
The conscription is synchronized with the issuance of the new currency.
Conscription locations are mainly in Kaifeng and Nanyang. Of course, recruiting points are also set up in other prefectures and counties. However, the population is concentrated in Kaifeng and Nanyang, and naturally these two places are the main areas.
Conscription is very formal.
Present facts, reason with reason, move with affection, and know with reason. Let the commoners know that it is glorious to be in the army, let the commoners know that Ying Yi will dominate the world, and let the commoners know the fact that military merits are noble!
Especially the latter one is extremely important. When it comes to honor or something, most commoners don't care much. Talking to them about this is basically play the lute for a cow. However, military merits, various benefits, military fields, and privileges are the characteristics of a master.
Guangzong Yaozu, this is the mark engraved in the commoners bloodline.
The key is that this benefit has already begun to manifest. Ying Yi has nearly 30,000 troops under his command, most of whom are natives of Henan. Since Ying Yi's rise, all the way to the battle, military meritorious knights abound. These soldiers form a form of propaganda for the conscription invisibly-during the New Year, the troops take turns to take three days of vacation, and the scenery formed by the soldiers returning to their hometowns is all enviable.
Ye County, Heliu Village. Heliu Village is a resettlement village, of course, a resettlement village built on the ruins of the original village. The original Heliu Village was completely poisoned when the thief was raging.
The formation of villages is greatly related to geographical advantages. Often a village can be formed in a certain place, and it must be surrounded by mountains and rivers. Therefore, many resettlement villages are located on the ruins of the original villages.
On the 20th of the first lunar month, the whole village, under the leadership of the village chief, beat gongs and drums to send more than 20 people including Wang Qi to the entrance of the village.
Wang Qi is dressed in dark red armor, fully armed to his teeth, with a long spear in his hand, with a short sword and fire gun hanging from his waist, standing like a god general.
The other twenty or so people crowded around him, each of them flushed with envy.
"The village chief, the fathers and the folks stop!"
Wang Qi cup one fist in the other hand bowed deeply: "Go to the army, open up the territory and expand the land, and become the master To dominate the world, the elders will not be let down by military merits, and the brothers will not let the father down!"
Before the parents and close relatives, there were a few bangs, and a group of more than 20 people were proud and proud, and headed to Ye County. .
