Xu Ding took a look at the file, thought for a while, and then told Shi Hao some of his opinions and opinions, so that he had a clear direction for improvement and research.
"Okay, let's stop here today. Artillery is like a gun. It still needs to be researched and improved. Don't put it into production for the time being. You have worked hard. Let everyone take three days off and take a good rest. Everyone is receiving some rewards , to combine work and rest." Xu Ding looked at the sky and instructed.
"It's the general!"
After leaving the Equipment Department, Xu Ding went back to his place of residence and asked Mao Jie to enter the mansion to discuss matters at night.
The two opened a hot pot and chatted while eating.
Xu Ding took a piece of meat and mixed some sauce into his mouth, chewed it beautifully and then put it into his stomach.
Then he put down his chopsticks, poured a glass of wine for the two of them and said, "Xiaoxian, how much brass do we have in reserve?"
Mao Jie thought about it, and then reported it to Xu Ding.
Because it has been under development, the current reserves of copper can be said to be astronomical.
The large ships in the South China Sea are constantly pulling and transporting, and various parts of the jurisdiction are also developing and refining, and the richness is jaw-dropping.
Xu Ding made an estimate and said: "Well, I'm going to prepare a large amount of copper coins. I brought back the samples. You arrange manpower and machines to go to Pingzhou Chuanmen to set up a mint."
Mao Jie said: "My lord, do you want to cast money from the Dragon Continent?"
Mao Jie understood that Xu Ding had been emphasizing economic rationalization and economic regulation.
So even though Dongnae has a lot of copper, it did not issue new coins indiscriminately, in order to stabilize the economy and currency.
Now I suddenly want to cast a lot, most of it is because of Longteng Continent.
After all, Xu Ding is not a short-sighted person, so it is impossible to harm the big man.
"That's right, I'm going to mint a large amount of copper coins of the Great Zhou Kingdom. I have reached an agreement with the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. I will do the currency reform of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and I can intervene in the economic aspect.
At that time, I will let all the countries and regions in the east of Longteng Continent use our money, bad money will drive out good money, and the four families and five places' right to print and mint small money will be broken.
Exchange the gold and silver in their hands for copper. "Xu Ding smiled slightly, and this smile was somewhat meaningful.
Copper is worthless in his hands. By exchanging all the gold and silver in Longteng Continent, a new gold and silver system can be implemented, and at the same time, a banking mechanism can be established to carry out financial warfare to weaken countries.
Mao Jie looked a little like crying, put down his chopsticks and said, "My lord, am I going to learn something new? Can I not be the only one here, and let Zhicai and the others study hard?"
Xu Ding also invented the word "advanced study", and Mao Jie felt that everyone should suffer together.
Good things must also learn to share.
It's best not to let go of that lazy Guo Jia.
"Haha, yes, everyone has to learn, no one can be left behind, the way of governing the country, if you don't understand the economy, you can't manage the country well." Xu Ding understood Mao Jie's meaning, and smiled instantly.
Anyway, this group of guys are full of affection among each other, and in the spirit of being able to cheat one is a scourge.
Then Xu Ding talked with Mao Jie for a long time, mostly around the economic aspect.
For example, establish a bank and conduct swabs in your own jurisdiction to facilitate businessmen's trade, and at the same time facilitate the allocation and distribution of government money and food at all levels.
Once the experience and conditions are obtained, it will be rolled out across the country, further penetrating the Dragon Continent.
Economic warfare is a war without gunpowder, which is more cruel and ruthless than military warfare.
Xu Ding chatted for a long time that night, and Mao Jie also listened and took notes at the same time, so that he could take time to study, study and digest after returning home.
I stayed in Weiyuan Island for half a month, during which time I went back to Huaguo Mountain to visit my wife and children, and listened to Guo Jia's report on the changes in the situation in Hanoi, as well as the latest developments in Cao Cao, plus the undercover situation in Yizhou Fazheng. , in short, everything was relatively stable, without any waves, Xu Ding then set off for Happy City again.
"My lord! The Eastern Tang Kingdom's revenge is coming." As soon as Xu Ding returned to Xiaoyao City, Xu Shu hurriedly reported the recent situation of Da Zhou.
Xu Ding asked: "How does the Eastern Tang Empire plan to take revenge on Da Zhou?"
"Eastern Tang Dynasty unilaterally increased the yearly money that Da Zhou paid to Eastern Tang every year, directly increased by ten times, and sent people to the northern border to dismantle the magic circle, eliminated the inscriptions engraved on the border town, and took away Energy stone, now the north of Dazhou has become an undefended place, and the northern barbarian tribe can go south to plunder at any time." Xu Shu said:
"It is estimated that Dong Tang will not send troops to assist Da Zhou in resisting the northern barbarians, let alone allow Dong Tang's mercenary organization to accept Da Zhou's employment."
"It's so ruthless! It's a bottom line. As expected of a big country, it's lazy and hits the nail on the head." Xu Ding asked:
"The Eastern Tang Kingdom can make other requests, such as me and Princess Jixuan."
Logically speaking, the source of this matter lies with him. He made Li Yuanji unable to step down and lost Dong Tang's face.
Essentially speaking, everything should be pointed at oneself.
To put pressure on the Great Zhou Kingdom, there should be a purpose.
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "My lord, the Dongtang side didn't mention you and Princess Jixuan at all, let alone the matter of Gaojing's selection of a consort.
This matter is a great image damage to them, so naturally they won't mention it more. "
"That's right. The Eastern Tang Kingdom is a big country anyway, and it still wants to maintain its image. Everyone is tacitly aware of this, and they don't dare to mention it." Xu Ding touched it, and was also thinking about the matter of the Great Zhou. stand up.
Originally, the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Central Zhou Dynasty signed an agreement to jointly protect the northern barbarians.
Therefore, the northern border of Zhongzhou has always been under the responsibility of Dongtang, and a large defensive array has been built.
Just for this aspect every year, Da Zhou would pay Dong Tang a huge amount of money.
Now that Dongtang has stopped this matter, if the northern barbarians go south, it will be difficult for Zhongzhou to resist.
"From this point of view, we can only seek assistance from Xiqin and establish a joint defense agreement between Xiqin and Zhongzhou. However, Xiqin will probably speak loudly." Xu Ding found that this matter was a bit tricky.
After all, Zhongzhou's national strength is too weak, it has no military strength at all, and it is always passive.
Xu Shu said: "In the past, because the Mid-Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty had a common defensive formation, the northern barbarians preferred to attack the mighty Western Qin Dynasty, so although the Western Qin Dynasty had no border disputes with the Eastern Tang Dynasty, they regarded them as enemies, and the suspicion was the heaviest.
Now that the Eastern Tang had withdrawn the defense formations of the Central Zhou Dynasty, the Western Qin Dynasty would be happy to see the success, willing the northern barbarians to attack the Central Zhou Dynasty. "
"Therefore, we need something that is enough to tempt Xiqin, so that we can solve this big crisis and help Zhongzhou tide over the difficulties." Xu Ding murmured softly:
"What does the Western Qin need? The Western Qin is to the west, and most of the land is barren. The country is strong and the people are poor, and the products are not rich. They lack food and money. What else do they lack?"
After several months of understanding, Xu Ding knew that Xiqin's demand for food has always been strong, so he has been relying on the turnover of food from the middle week and obtaining huge amounts of money to help Xiqin with huge military expenditures solve practical problems.
But neither of these two things can play a decisive role, they can only be used as an introduction.
"Master, I really thought of a way, but this way is not good for Zhong Zhou, and it is extremely difficult to operate." Xu Shu suddenly thought of an idea, but he was not sure.
Xu Ding asked: "Tell me!"
"My lord, since Dong Tang wants to use this to make Zhong Zhou surrender and take revenge on Zhong Zhou, if he doesn't follow the trend and let Zhong Zhou abandon his capital, he will directly come to a dead end and let everyone have a bad life. I don't believe that Dong Tang can arrange the formation. To all their cities, I don't believe that their energy column is endless."
Xu Ding raised his eyebrows slightly.
