Chapter 88
On the seventh day after the reward, Hua Xi came to the Elders' House to convene the elders' meeting. This time, we mainly asked about the development of the tribe during the period of the war, such as Sunset Fort, Iron Wall, etc.
The great elder Hua An said respectfully: "Clan Chief, you are not here during this period. I will report to you the latest situation of the tribe."
"Yeah! Say!" Hua Xi nodded and showed
Hua An hesitated for a moment and reported truthfully: "Clan leader, the Chinese coins minted by the tribe now have about 30,000 yuan circulating on the market, which are about 16,000 yuan to 17,000 yuan, and the rest are to maintain the daily operation of the tribe."
When Hua Xi heard this, he was displeased and said: "How little money is circulating? The population of our tribe is almost exceeding 9,000. The average 4 copper coins per capita are not enough. How can trade become active? No, the issuance of currency must be increased!"
Hua An answered repeatedly, looked at the patriarch on the steps, and continued, "Class leader, I have some opinions on the use of the constituents on the denomination and unit of the currency."
"Oh? What's your opinion? Let's hear it!" Hua Xi said unexpectedly.
"Yes! Although the denomination of our Chinese currency is divided into 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100! However, some items that are smaller than the value of a Chinese currency can only be bought with enough value of 1 Chinese currency during the transaction process. The tribe members have some opinions on this!"
After hearing this, Hua Xi cursed herself secretly, but she still traveled through time. She only remembered to divide different denominations into currency, but did not set up units. She was really confused for a moment!
Hua Xi pondered for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "In this way, you will order the craftsmen to make a batch of new bronze coins, or do it according to the original denominations. The back of the copper coins are still engraved with the words "China" of our Chinese tribe. However, the two unit symbols "Jiao" and "Yuan" must be engraved on the right side of the denomination number, and the original Chinese coins will be recycled. Replacing 10 jiao with the new Chinese coins is equal to 1 yuan, and so on!"
After listening to Hua Xi’s newly announced monetary policy, everyone thought about it and shouted that the newly divided unit currency has greater freedom and convenience than the previous unchanging unit policy.
"At present, we will first recycle the original currency and issue different denominations of 100,000 yuan worth of different denominations and unit currency! In the future, the issuance volume and some monetary policies will be modified as appropriate depending on the situation!" Hua Xi pondered for a moment and added
"Yes!" Hua An replied, then turned around and took a sheepskin note from a waiter, glanced briefly, and continued: "In addition to this matter, there is also the patriarch of the city's construction work report. This note records in detail the current work of the three cities. Please take a look!" After saying that, Hua An leaned forward and leaned forward the sheepskin note in his hand to his chest.
"Well, it's easy to present it!" Hua Xi said, and a waiter standing in front of him came over and presented the parchment roll in Hua An's hand.
The records in the sheepskin note are very detailed, the general situation is as follows:
As the population increases, the division of labor in society is more meticulous, thus giving birth to more people in industries and different occupations. People need to build more buildings with different functions for production. Therefore, as the main town of the Chinese, it is also the most prosperous goods on this radius of hundreds of miles. The cultural gathering center city, the upgrading of China City is also the first place in the work.
70 new residential houses are added, which can accommodate about 400 people. Most of the people who built the residential houses are soldiers who went to the expedition this time. A small number of them were built by some merchants (the tribes built private residences, which require the purchase of land and building materials in money and pay for labor. Most civilians live in public housing. The environment and sanitation are naturally harsh, but they are much better than those tribes that still live in caves and thatched huts, because the buildings in China City are built with lime, sand, concrete and wood). The tribe also increased the production of grain, and some of them were some of the foods such as rice and fruits. The wine industry was also slightly driven. The first winemaking workshop and tavern appeared in the city. However, these two buildings with different functions are the two buildings with different functions. They currently serve only the powerful class of the tribe and a small number of merchants who have some means of production.
Mining, the number of exploration and mining personnel reached 1,000 people. The iron wall has become a distribution center for mining and storage of lime, volcanic ash, clay, copper, tin ore, and lead ore. It is centered on the iron wall, Sunset Fort and China City as the fulcrum, radiating to the Southern Union tribes, and initially forming a distribution center for material mining, calcining processing, trading, and storage. It is currently mainly responsible for supplying the daily needs of the tribe. The tribe's metallurgy, ore processing and other workshops are established here.
Blacksmith shop, an extension of the forging ore workshop, it turns out that most of the farm tools and some copper daily necessities in the tribe were from the tribe's workshops. As the metallurgical industry continues to grow, the workshop masters and elders who have first-hand production materials have jointly established private blacksmith shops. Although the scale and quality are not as good as the tribe's workshops, they have the advantage that the workshop does not have, that is, the subdivision and price of the equipment they purchase some poor-quality ore and broken copper ware from the workshops and society, and then return to the furnace to process new copper ware.
In terms of small appliances for daily use, both the variety and the profit margin in price have good advantages over tribal workshops. To a certain extent, a new industrial chain and interest group has also formed. It is no longer a single situation of a tribal organization, but has initially formed a competition between private and public ownership and opposition.
There are not many new blacksmith shops. Currently, there are only three in the city. All of them are elders of the tribe. Priests and some tribe members who master the technology have the number of people. The number of people in the three rooms is between 150 and 200. They have basic division of labor. There are blacksmith shops opened with different backgrounds, supported by blacksmith shops. They are also tacitly opened in the three towns, without interfering with each other. The price is uniform. Because of the variety and the price is cheap, most tribe members also buy from blacksmith shops. Only a few valuable items go to tribe workshops to buy items with high quality requirements, such as plows.
In addition to the metallurgical industry, handicrafts also have stone tools, bamboo wood, grass and vines processing industries. Not everyone can afford bronze ware, nor is it possible for all labor tools to be qualified for bronze ware. In terms of collection, hunting, logging, mining, construction, etc., stone axes, stone knives, stone chisels, stone spears, stone hammers, etc., are still playing a huge role. In addition, bamboo and vines are also widely used, ropes, construction, weaving, roof repair, rattan mats, etc.
In addition, these are good materials for making handicrafts and exquisite jade carved. Wooden products and grass knots are also emerging quietly. In case of demand, there will be people supplying about 500 people who are currently engaged in this area.
In terms of architecture, in addition to a few priests and dozens of full-time masons, most of the manpower in building cities and building roads and houses is to gather people to complete the development and research of the construction. Basically, it is thought about the priests and dozens of mason masters.
Agriculture, as humans entered the farming era, has always been the top priority. Most people in the tribe are engaged in agriculture, such as reclamation, seeds, irrigation, planting, fertilization, and harvesting. It is worth celebrating that during the process of planting rice, the tribe members have discovered corn, rapeseed, and potatoes. Currently, only a few people have planted them. However, I believe that soon, high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn will soon be vigorously promoted by Huaxi.
Tiebi and Sunset Fort currently have a permanent population of 400 to 500, with an average monthly migrant population of about 1,000. Sunset Fort is currently mainly responsible for extracting sea salt and sea salt distribution centers.
Because of the busy farming in China, the city wall has been fully staffed, and the city wall has been sent by Hua'an to increase its manpower from the original five meters to the current eight meters. It is tall and majestic. Anyone who comes to China will be shocked by the towering and majestic city in front of him.
After carefully reading the thick parchment report, Hua Xi boasted and praised the work performance of the relevant people, and put forward some of his own suggestions for their reference.
At the end, Hua Xi also proposed the inferiority of his army organization these days, and submitted the new plan for reform of the army organization and elder regiment to the elder regiment.
The patriarch, unchanged, has absolute control over the army as before
The elders group divided into two different positions according to the area of responsibility for affairs: elders and generals. The officials responsible for internal and external administrative affairs are elders. The officials responsible for military areas are called generals. The two are independent. They do not have jurisdiction but are connected to each other. The former Elders' House was renamed the Senate House.
In terms of the army, two independent troops are divided into cavalry and infantry.
The cavalry is equipped with long swords and bows and arrows, and the charge is long swords, and the bows and arrows are fired far away when they are far away.
Infantry is not divided, including Pu Dao, Archer, and Spearman. Each soldier can use the three weapons. The mixed organizational system is divided into differentiated war needs, productivity, population and other conditions to develop.
Currently, the number of soldiers in the army is about 1,000. Hua Xi has injected these 1,000 people into the organization.
Take the decimal unit, ten people are 1, and one is the first; 10 why is 1, and one is the first; 10 why is 1, and one is the first centurion; 105 is 1, and one is the first thousand is the first thousand, and one is the first thousand men to be given official titles and seals during wartime, and the seals will be immediately taken back after the war. Only those who hold the seals are qualified to mobilize the army
The plan letter was circulated one by one by the elders below and returned to Hua Xi's hand. Hua Xi asked in a deep voice: "I don't know if you have any suggestions or doubts about this reform, so you can recommend it and consider it."
At present, most of them are military blind men. Even Huafeng doesn't know much. Without harming his own interests, everyone nodded and expressed no objection to this. Hua Xi naturally didn't mind. These things were just a show, and in the end they decided by themselves.
The plan was also approved with unanimous approval by everyone and implemented
