Chapter 483

Zhanbei cold and cold: "Except for this, the king can't think of other possibilities!"

Xiao Lingyue frowned and murmured: "If it is really an iron mine, the problem is big"

What does iron ore mean?

In ancient times, these three are the most important national resources, and the three -type is the object of strict control of the court government.

People use food as the sky.

Food represents life and the foundation of the people.

Once there is a problem with food, it will inevitably cause folk turmoil, cause social instability, and cause various rebellion hazards.

This is why, as long as there are natural disasters and man -made disasters and reduced food production, in ancient times, the cause of people's chaos.

And salt represents health.

No one can live without salt. Once the salt intake is missing, people will slowly weakly break off and cause various diseases.

For the ancient courts, salt and food were taxes of taxes. The people had to pay, so no matter what dynasties, the government will firmly control the salt and food in their own hands.

The salt sold by the government is called official salt.

There is also a private salt called private salt.

As the name suggests, some people get salt through various channels in order to make huge profits, secretly selling them in the people.

This approach is equivalent to grabbing the country's taxation.

Therefore, in ancient times, smuggling of private salt was a very serious crime. Once it was caught, not only would they die, but the entire family would be implicated.

More important than salt and food, it is iron.

In ancient times, iron represents weapons, armor, or power.

No matter how faint emperors will allow military power to fall into the hands of others, because mastering military power is equivalent to mastering the power to overthrow the dynasty.

And iron, also this power.

If a army does not have weapons and armor, the combat effectiveness is almost the same as ordinary people. On the other hand, if ordinary people can have a weapon configuration like a army, as long as they are trained slightly, they are ready -made military.

Therefore, in ancient times, the circulation of iron wares was strictly controlled by the court, not only in the army.

It is a folk iron shop, all of which have been prepared in the government before they are allowed to open.

Private casting iron is criminal. After being caught, it is heavier than selling private salt.

In ancient times, the ironmiths were basically a father, and passed down from generation to generation.

They do not belong to the people, but the military.

Once there is a war in the border, the court can recruit folk blacksmiths to enter the military camp at any time to create weapons for the army. The blacksmith must listen.

Even if Xiao Lingyue, a person like a martial arts who do not belong to the imperial court, if you want to buy a knife or sword in the people, you must report it to the government first.

If you have not reported it privately, once you are reported, you will have to go to jail.

Xiao Lingyue was a military when she was in Nanyan before. She stayed in the army for several years. She was very clear about the importance of iron ore for ancient troops and even the entire country.

If Bei Qin really has iron ore, it is not in the court.

It was even secretly mining by these bandits.

This is a shocking case !!
