Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 678
"My lord, this is the report from Mingfeng Bank. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, in just two days, our Dahan Tongbao exchanged 200 million yuan!" Liu Jin sent a report, with a smile in the corner of his eyes. He didn't hide it, he worked so hard for so long, it made him feel that it was totally worth it.

"Twelve million yuan, not bad data!"

Mu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, the new currency can be recognized, it is a great thing for Hanzhong: "This is just the beginning, Hanzhong, Nanyang, Wudu, all cities have activated the currency of Dahan Tongbao There should be more people coming to redeem the order!"

"My lord, in this way, the mint will be under great pressure!"

After Liu Jin was happy, he said worriedly: "Although the copper mine is still rich, the efficiency of the mint department is not high. Once the hidden goods at the bottom of the press box are used up, Dahan Tongbao may form a situation of intermittent issuance!"

"Such a situation will never be allowed to happen!"

Mu Jing said coldly: "The popularity of Dahan Tongbao is related to the reputation of the Minghou Mansion!"

"Once the issuance of Tongbao is stopped and a vacuum period is formed, it will not only damage the credibility of this currency among the common people, but also make our Minghou Mansion untrustworthy common people!"

"No matter what the conditions are."

"No matter how difficult it is!"

"The Mint must expand the foundry, and the craftsmen will grab it if they don't have one. In short, in short, this supply chain must not be broken!"

"As long as there is a problem with the Mint Department, Nan Shufang and Jin Cao will take the responsibility for me, and I will never accept it!"

Mujing spoke very hastily and impatiently.

"My subordinates will guarantee the operation of the Mint Division!" Liu Jin bowed and nodded with a serious face.

"The Mint Department has enough copper mines, but I'm afraid it's a bit slow in refining. How about it, the copper ore refining can be handed over to the Academy of Science and Technology!" Mu Jing was still sympathetic to the boss of the South Study Room. He just needs to understand the importance of the matter, and he can't beat it too much, so he ordered.

"Academy of Science and Technology?"

Liu Jin frowned. He didn't have much impression of the Science and Technology Academy that was just established next to Hongdumen School. When it came out, he was somewhat impressed.

Mu Jing said softly: "Don't underestimate the Academy of Science and Technology. Some alchemists in the Academy of Science and Technology were invited from the old Five Dou Rice Teaching. They are proficient in refining and need to improve their refining skills!"

"it is good!"

After Mujing said this, Liu Jin responded: "I'll contact the Academy of Science and Technology as soon as possible to see if I can improve the copper refining. If we pass this test, we can stabilize the number of coins!"

"Mingfeng Bank must be under control!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "You have to remember one thing, the more coins you mint, the better it is, but it must match the purchasing power of the people at the moment, otherwise our coins will become waste products, like That Chang'an penny is like that!"

"Yes!"

Liu Jin nodded. He doesn't know much about this, but he can learn slowly. After all, Nanshufang is in charge of people's livelihood and meets the needs of all people. This is what he, the master of the Minghou Mansion, must learn.

"Go get busy!"

Mu Jing waved his hand.

"Your subordinate will leave!" Liu Jin just saluted, and was about to turn around and leave when Mu Jing stopped him.

"and many more!"

Mu Jing suddenly called out to stop Liu Jin, and he remembered one more thing, he needed to know the progress: "How is the progress of Chidao?"

"After the slack season, we recruited [-] peasants. The Hanshui Road is progressing rapidly, and it will be completely opened in a hundred miles at most, but the Dongshan Road is progressing slowly, and there are too many roads around the mountain before we start to hit Dongshan. Plank road!"

Liu Jin replied.

"You start preparing and start the bidding for the third lane!"

Mujing Road.

"The third road?" Liu Jin frowned: "Although we have prepared four roads from Hanzhong to Nanyang before, as long as these two roads are opened up, it should be enough for the time being, and the third road will be enough for the time being." It's wasted, our Minghou Mansion has battles in the first half and the second half of the year, but we don't have more power to spend on it!"

"Not Nanyang!"

"Not Nanyang?" Liu Jin was confused again.

"From Nanzheng to Xiabian, the road to Wudu!" Mu Jing said: "Now Wudu is under the jurisdiction of my Minghou Mansion, the roads are blocked, and everything is troublesome, so even if we grit our teeth, we have to repair it." There's a straight line out!"

"This can be considered!"

Liu Jin thought for a while, and knew that although there are many roads leading to Wudu, none of them can be directly connected. They are all small roads and branch roads, and the efficiency is too low: "However, my subordinates think that it will take at least next year to start!"

"Ok!"

Mu Jing also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry: "Get ready first, and send Gongcao's craftsmen to investigate!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Liu Jin took the order and left.

Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose, this was his small gesture, when he wanted to think about something, he would subconsciously do this gesture, he was silent for a moment, let go of the playbook in his hand, and shouted: "Zhongheng!"

"Lord!"

Huo Yu came out from the side room on the left, and stood by with his hands folded.

"What else is planned for today's itinerary?"

The meaning of asking this sentence is that if there is no arrangement, I will slip away early.

The corner of Huo Yu's mouth twitched, the lord has been a little lazy recently.

"My lord, this afternoon is the listing ceremony of the Hanshui Wharf Exchange. They hope that the lord can come to the scene in person, encourage them, and create a big momentum for them!"

"Is the exchange listed?"

Hearing this, Mujing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Their efficiency is very high!"

"Hongfenghao and Zhengyang Commercial Bank are both big commercial firms!"

Huo Yu replied: "Nowadays there is still a mixture of Hanshui Commercial Bank and Hanzhong Commercial Bank, so things will naturally happen sooner!"

"Hanshui Commercial Bank and Hanzhong Commercial Bank?"

The corners of Mujing's eyes twitched.

"The merchants in Hanzhong, who were defeated in the bidding meeting before and were crushed by foreign merchants, naturally learned to form a group, led by Shangyong merchants, and formed a vertical alliance. The established Hanzhong Commercial Bank is strong, but Chenggu Qijia Because they became the representative merchants of the Minghou Mansion, they were excluded, and later Cheng Guqi’s family united some remaining merchants in Nanzheng, and also established Hanshui Commercial Bank. Currently, the local merchants in Hanzhong are dominated by two!”

"Alright!"

After hearing this, Mu Jing said: "We can't let the monks from outside have water to drink, and our local monks will starve to death. They know how to hold together, it's a good thing!"

He got up, straightened his robes, and said, "Then go to Hanshui Wharf to have a look!"

"I'll make arrangements now!"

Huo Yu said quickly.

Although in Hanzhong, safety is not a problem, but Mujing needs to make some arrangements when he leaves the Minghou Mansion. Now Mujing alone can carry the survival of millions of people in Hanzhong, the hope of the Minghou Mansion, and the burden of too many people. Dreams are never lost.

"Keep a low profile!" Mu Jing instructed.

As the lord, he also knows that there are some things that cannot be willful. It is easy to hide a spear and it is difficult to guard against it. Who knows how many people are staring at him.

The Divine Guard Battalion was quickly integrated.

Zhang Ning was also quickly recalled from the medical school.

An hour later, Mu Jing was able to go out, dressed in a brocade robe, surrounded by more than [-] guards, bright and dark, from Minghou's Mansion to Hanshui Wharf, it was only two or three miles away, and it had arrived in less than half an hour.

The Hanshui Wharf is not an old wharf. The former Hanshui Wharf is still more than ten miles upstream, facing the moat.

And this Hanshui Wharf is more because the Minghou Mansion was established at this location, forming a market that relies on Hanshui. Although it did not rise for a long time, the speed of prosperity soared.

Now it has surpassed the old Hanshui Wharf, and many merchants are willing to go ashore from here, and there are supporting ferries here, and there are places for berthing ships, and the surrounding houses are densely packed.

"Meet the lord!"

Xi Cao, who is in charge of the official office of the Hanshui Wharf, and Zheng Yue, who is in charge of Xi Cao, came up.

"It's Lord Minghou!"

The people around quickly panicked.

"Meet Lord Minghou!"

A group of people bowed their heads and saluted.

"You don't need to be too much!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, and said softly: "The Marquis came here this time, just to see how the pier is going. You can do your own business, don't worry about me!"

After comforting him, he went to inspect the pier first.

The wharf is really well established, with complete supporting facilities, especially on the wharf ferry, the pulleys are built with triangular wood. This is the principle of lever unloading. The pulley can be installed here to explain the principle of leverage. It has been used in daily life.

This made Mujing very satisfied.

The development of the times does not depend on him alone.

What is needed is the wisdom of the masses.

This also fully demonstrates that the wisdom of the common people is infinite. Give them a fulcrum, and one day, they will really move the earth.

After inspecting the pier, he entered the exchange.

The Hanzhong Exchange was built in the upper reaches of the Hanshui River. It covers an area of ​​more than [-] acres and is built with three floors. It is magnificent and magnificent, and a lot of money must have been invested in its construction.

"Merchant Gongchang!"

"Merchant Sun Hao!"

"Merchants are in business!"

"The merchants are equally famous!"

Among the more than ten merchants, the energetic merchants standing at the front hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Master Minghou!"

"Ok!"

Mujing raised his head, looked at the plaque on the Hanzhong Exchange, and then looked at more than a dozen merchants. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "You look good!"

Knowing the close and distant relatives, he waved his hand and said, "Old Sun, you have experience in the exchange business. You have been so busy these days, you have invested a lot, but you have the confidence to build a second cargo trading center! "

"Report to Master Minghou, I have confidence!"

Sun Hao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "The terrain of Hanshui is even worse than that of Wuyin. If you go north and south, you can't get around it. The establishment of an exchange here will definitely make Hanshui a commodity trading center!"

As one of the three giants of Jingping Trading Company in the past, he did not have much brilliance in Jingping Trading Company. If you want to say that what made him most proud was that he was entrusted with the important task by Mujing when he was in Wuyin, and presided over the The exchange, from scratch, allowed the exchange to play a different role, turning the entire Wuyin into a gathering center for caravans. Basically, all kinds of goods can be found in Wuyin, which is his pride.

So when Hanzhong intentionally wanted to establish an exchange, he even came to Hanzhong from Nanyang in person, regardless of the danger, in order to allow Zhengyang Commercial Bank to play a leading role in Hanshui Exchange.

"I believe in you!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder.

He can use the official power of the Minghou Mansion to establish the exchange, but he finally handed over this right to the merchants. Naturally, he has his own considerations. Sometimes, it is his own people who can win people's trust.

Only businessmen can be trusted by businessmen.
