Zhao Huan was thinking that you, Zhuang Chengyi, is just a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Do you know nothing about war and economy?

Let’s not talk about the truth that even though the country is big, forgetting the war will lead to danger. Even if we take the Song Dynasty as an example, there is no possibility of losing money in the war.

Have you heard of the saying that gold is ten thousand taels when the cannon fires?

The treasury uses money to the Privy Council to purchase firearms. The Privy Council uses money to contact the Ministry of Works to purchase. The Ministry of Works will then send the money to the subordinate workshops. The workshop will then send the money to workers. The workers' income will be greatly improved and their consumption capacity will also be greatly improved. In the end, the tax revenue of your Ministry of Revenue will be higher?

On the surface, some of the money was blown into smoke, but after the smoke dissipated, a large area of ​​land would enter the pockets of the Song Dynasty. Large areas of land meant a large amount of resources—

In addition to good things such as ivory and spices, Sanfoqi also has a large amount of minerals for mining. The entire Sanfoqi is full of minerals such as oil, natural gas, tin, bauxite, coal, gold, and silver.

In addition to money, if you do the Three Buddhas, you can also transfer domestic conflicts outward, allowing those young men who have too much energy to vent their energy from then on to be brave in public wars and fear in private fights. You can not only get a large number of workers back and forth to do infrastructure, but also get some gold to make up for the holes in the national treasury.

It also saves the national treasury, which is surrounded by stones and has rats running every day.

Based on this premise, how much money a worker costs five jin of money is still a big deal? Then is it just strategic investment?

What are the construction of new capitals, social sciences, road construction, dredging rivers, etc., aren’t these normal infrastructure behaviors? Infrastructure is a cost of money, but large-scale infrastructure can not only increase people’s income, but also drive economic development. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that a country is prosperous?

The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Revenue didn't even know these things, and he actually wrote a letter to accuse me! Bah!

"There is a gold mine in the land of those three Buddhas."

While Zhao Huan was chaotic in his heart, he casually annotated these nine words on Zhuang Chengyi's memorial.

As long as there are nine-word annotations, Zhao Huan will not need to care about the rest of the matter - Zhuang Chengyi's old Pixiu will definitely try his best to urge the Privy Council to send troops to deal with the Three Buddhas.

After processing a bunch of question books, Zhao Huan put his mind on Jin Kingdom again.

Compared with the three halls of Han, Tang and Ming, the Song Dynasty was indeed a weakling, and there is no doubt that the three families of Han, Tang and Ming all went out to smash other people's places. Even if they couldn't win occasionally, they would not suffer any losses. At least they could still make a guaranteed capital.

The Song Dynasty sat at home and waited for others to smash it, which was also the reason why the Song Dynasty's war was much higher than that of the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, but it was considered a weak chicken.

No matter how high the winning rate is, it is hard to hide the fact that someone is hit by a mess.

But from another perspective, the reason why the Song Dynasty is so weak is not only the problem caused by its own emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts, but also another very important and often overlooked reason-

The Liao Kingdom was not the kind of nomadic people who only knew how to ride on horseback, nor was the Jin Kingdom. The later Mongolian Kingdom was also not the idiots who only knew how to ride horses and chop.

In fact, whether it was the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and even later Mongolia, the learning ability of these halls was not weak. The Song Dynasty had the Inner Armor and the Jin Kingdom had the Iron Pagoda. Mongolia not only had heavy armored cavalry, but even took the lead in creating large killing weapons such as Hui and Hui cannons.

It's really a big trouble to have such a bunch of neighbors in Dasong.

Just like now, although Zhao Huan has been as strict as possible, the flintlock rifle that the Song Dynasty had just begun to be equipped with was secretly learned by the Jin people.

Although the accuracy of the Jin Kingdom was not high and the range was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom was not vague and directly played the firepower coverage set, hoping to solve the problem of insufficient accuracy by increasing the firepower density.

Then Zhao Huan always feels like he gets the wrong script-

One emphasizes high precision, the other emphasizes more, it is good. Why does it always have the visual sense of eagle sauce and rabbit? The Song Dynasty is like eagle sauce? The Jinlu is more like a rabbit?

This is so wrong, bastard, I must have got the wrong script!

"I will be working as a supervisor and the Ministry of Works. The Royal Academy will find ways to increase the production of flintlock rifles and accelerate the production and assembly of artillery."

Since the leak of the flintlock rifle is an irreversible fact, we might as well use the means that the Song Dynasty is best at killing the other party - the Jin Dynasty's production capacity is not as good as the Song Dynasty, and its R&D ability is also not as good as the Song Dynasty. As long as the Song Dynasty maintains its lead in these two aspects, it will not be difficult to kill the Jin Dynasty.

The most important thing is that the Song Dynasty must have more firearms than those in the Jin Kingdom! The unit firepower must be stronger than those in the Jin Kingdom! The firepower density must also be higher than those in the Jin Kingdom!

Only the Song Dynasty can be a late-stage patient with insufficient firepower phobia, and only the Song Dynasty can be a firepower scrubbing the floor! As for the cheap ancestors of the Jiannu of the Jin Dynasty, what's wrong with them holding the script of rabbits? Do you still want to touch the Song Dynasty to cross the river? Are they worthy of it!! Bah!

...

Han Shizhong was holding the military orders sent by the Privy Council, the joint letters sent by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue in his hand, and his old face was full of entanglement and pain.

The official asked him to send all the workers to Shuntian Prefecture, and the Privy Council asked him to arrest the workers as much as possible. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue asked him to send someone to protect the Ministry of Works who were responsible for exploration.

Among these messy things, only the requirements of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue are the best solutions. On the contrary, the requirements of the Privy Council and the officials made Han Shizhong feel a kind of sadness.

labor?

There are not many laborers, but there are many in Jingguan.

Since the last time he slaughtered monkeys and built Jingguan in Jiaozhi, Han Shizhong has quickly become fascinated by the feeling of building Jingguan, and then he has been running wildly on the way to slaughter monkeys and built Jingguan.

As a result, when attacking Sanfoqi, he didn't think about catching laborers and exchanging money. Instead, dozens of Jingguan, big and small, have been built.

Now facing the military orders of the officials and the Privy Council to ask for workers, Han Shizhong is inevitably a little numb.

"If you send the order, those who kill will not be allowed to build Jingguan again. Even if you build it, you can only use the dead monkeys and injured monkeys. The remaining ones with good hands and feet will be gathered for this commander and return to Shuntian Prefecture to listen to it."

After a while of pain, Han Shizhong still issued an order not to engage in Jingguan again.

However, what made Han Shizhong even more distressed was that just after he said that he would not be allowed to build Jingguan again, his eldest son Han Yanzhi bowed with a distressed look on his face and said, "Your father, General Hu Yan..."

Hu Yantong, who was so brave, brought about fifty cavalry and more than 2,000 young and strong soldiers gathered by Chenjiazhuang and the four major families of Jugang, surrounded Jugang City, and even planned to force the monkeys in Jugang City to eat monkeys to vent their anger...

Later, the infantrymen brought by Hua Fengchun and Liu Ergou also rushed to the city of Jugang, and Hu Yantong became even more determined to siege Jugang City.

Now the government and the Privy Council suddenly ordered laborers, and the Palembang city...
Chapter completed!
