Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"Fusu has led his army on an expedition for half a month. I don't know if they have arrived at Fuso Island. Has there been any accident?"

In the imperial study, Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand with an irritated look and stood up.

Although every few days, a flying pigeon message came from him, but after all, it was thousands of miles away. It is absolutely impossible not to worry.

Now Fusu is the hope for the future of the entire Great Qin Dynasty and is Ying Zheng's trusted successor.

If given the choice, Ying Zheng would rather have something happen to him than do not want Fusu to be ill.

All the officials also Say silently.

They, the veterans, are all very clear about Ying Zheng's thoughts.

In fact, they are also worried about Fusu.

Not to mention more, just in this court, now without Fusu , there is one thing that has been unresolved.

That is, with the vigorous development of Da Qin's commerce, Da Qin's Qin Banliang is no longer enough, and it is also a bit difficult to use.

Although Da Qin implemented two types of coins, gold and copper at the same time, Merchants and common people are more accustomed to using copper coins. After all, Qin Banliang has unified specifications, but gold currently does not have a unified standard. If the purity is slightly less, the value of gold will be much different.

Although copper coins are easy to use, One is that the quantity can no longer keep up with the speed of development, and the other is that it is too cumbersome.

In the past, business was underdeveloped, and the transactions were all small transactions, and the impact was not large.

But now with the rapid growth of business, tens of thousands of dollars , and even large-scale transactions of hundreds of thousands of dollars have become commonplace.

In this case, the shortcomings of copper coins are reflected.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin half-liang copper coins would require several carriages to carry them.

Short-distance transactions are okay, but if you travel thousands of miles to do business, it will be really troublesome.

Especially as the influence of Daqin continues to increase, neighboring countries have joined the business alliance headed by Daqin, and when Daqin merchants pass through, It also extends the scope of business again.

This kind of cross-border trade requires a huge cost just to transport copper coins.

There are also solutions.

Nei Shiteng consulted Fusu specifically for this before and gave several Strategy.

One is to refer to Qin Banliang. The Daqin government will cast gold coins and gold ingots of standard specifications. With the official reputation guaranteed, merchants do not need to worry about the purity issue and can use it with confidence.

However, the stocks in the Daqin treasury There is not a lot of gold, and no one is sure about the specific specifications.

If it is too real, the coinage will be a loss.

But if it is mixed with a little silver or copper, no one knows whether it will work after the hairstyle. Be accepted.

These all need Fusu to make the decision.

In addition, Fusu also mentioned that silver can also be used as currency, but it also faces the same problems as gold.

"Fortunately, in Daqin's foreign trade, exports far exceed imports. How about we re-cast the foreign copper coins exchanged by these merchants and use them to survive for a while?"

Feng Quji, the Prime Minister on the right, said.

Because foreign coins cannot be used in Da Qin, merchants have to exchange foreign copper coins for Da Qin copper coins after returning home.

Since Qin Banliang is of higher quality, Qin Banliang pairs these foreign copper coins The exchange ratio is basically above 1:1.5, and the Daqin government can still have a surplus.

Of course, in neighboring countries, this ratio has long exceeded 1:2.

This makes the surrounding countries like Qin Banliang very much, which intensifies again The Qin Dynasty's money shortage

"It's possible, but it still won't last long!"

"And in addition to coining money, many major projects also require large amounts of copper ingots!"

Nei Shiteng sighed.

Nowadays, Daqin's construction is booming, and the consumption of various materials is also huge.

Although steel production is gradually increasing, in many places, copper with better performance still needs to be used, so Nei Shiteng is also Quite a dilemma

"Let’s melt part of it first, and wait for Fusu to come back for the rest!"

Ying Zheng made up his mind and said.

At this moment, Zhang Han rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Your Majesty, you are so happy, so happy!"

Zhang Han was so excited that he couldn't control himself and danced.

Ying Zheng and the officials couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Da Qin conquered Fusang Island, and the victory should be reasonable. Even if the speed was a little faster, Zhang Han wouldn't be so excited, right?

Could there be an unexpected surprise?

Ying Zheng quickly snatched the good news from Zhang Han, who was speechless with excitement, and glanced at it.

A sense of ecstasy emerged directly from Ying Zheng's face.

Even though Therefore, Emperor Yingzheng's determination made him feel a little dazzled.

"Ha ha!"

"As expected of Fusu!"

"Now, I, Da Qin, no longer have to worry about running out of money!"

A few moments later, Ying Zheng came back to his senses and said with joy on his face.

All the officials were immediately curious. What kind of news could make Zhang Han and Ying Zheng so excited?

And it also made Ying Zheng feel strange. , Da Qin no longer has to worry about having no money to use it?

Could it be that there are a lot of gold and silver in this Fusang Island?

"Your Majesty, having fun alone is not as good as having fun together!"

Meng Yi bravely stepped forward and said

"Haha, I am so happy!"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and then read it in a slightly trembling voice.

"Thanks to the divine grace of my father, I led the Great Qin Navy this time and had a smooth journey. They have successfully captured Fusang Island and captured the enemy chief Xu Fu and all the traitors alive!"

"And several large gold, silver and copper mines were discovered on Fuso Island!"

"One of the largest copper mines has reserves of at least billions of kilograms!"

"As long as the personnel and equipment are in place, more than five million kilograms of copper can be mined every year!"

All the officials were completely stunned.

Nei Shiteng almost fainted.

Billions of kilograms of copper, what a terrifying reserve!

None of the copper mined in Da Qin has this much, right?

Five hundred kilograms of copper can be mined every year. Ten thousand catties, if all were cast into Qin Banliang, it would be a full 160 million yuan!

This data is simply crazy!

You know, even if the business in Daqin is booming now, the business tax is so high Exceeding the agricultural tax, the national treasury revenue is almost ten times higher than the same period last year. The total revenue for a year is only more than 200 million yuan.

This is equivalent to the total national treasury revenue, which has almost doubled again!

Could it be that Zhang Hanneng is so excited that he can’t say If so, could it be that the First Emperor's determination was shaken for a long time?

The officials were completely unable to describe their ecstasy.

Just now they were worried about running out of money.

Now, Fusu has brought a huge mountain of money.!

Many people even calculated in their hearts how long it would take to mine this copper mountain. Then they almost fainted again.

Like Wang Jian and others, they also discovered what was surprising.

That is, Ying Zheng seemed to have only read half of it.

And according to As usual, the real surprises are always at the back!

This, they no longer dare to imagine.

The legendary Midas touch is not so exaggerated, right?

Even the gods and immortals cannot compare with His Highness Fusu!
