The Six-Eared God of Primordial Chaos

Chapter 116 Fortune
Sun Ming stayed in Lingyun Island for five consecutive days, and completed the first round of the Nine-Turn Yuan Gong, which is comparable to the realm of the earth fairy, while the internal cultivation is in the period of crossing the catastrophe, and time is running out, so Sun Ming chose to give up and continue to practice , and the progress of this practice is a bit fast, even if he has experienced it, he can't be careless. In the end, Sun Ming chose to return to Chaoge.

Liu Er took Sun Ming back to the Hall of the Holy Master, "I will come to pick you up again during the worship period next year, do you want to announce to the public that I have accepted you as a disciple?"

"No, that would be worse. Now it's the best. Let them guess!" Sun Ming shook his head, then opened the door and walked out of the Saint Master's Hall, while Liu Er went back to Lingyun Island.

As soon as he left the Saint Master's Hall, the guards outside immediately stepped forward. After Sun Ming left, his guards have been stationed here, waiting for his return.

"See Your Majesty." The guard saluted.

"Excuse me, go back to the palace." Sun Ming got up and drove back to the palace. The news spread all over Chaoge in an instant. It was an anecdote that he was taken away by the holy master. So far, only the three emperors and five emperors have been taken away.The people of Chaoge began to discuss that they respected and loved the king very much, because now they have land, less taxes, and a surplus of grain at home, and in order to prevent too much grain from hurting farmers, the king also took out new currency to buy grain. So they have spare money in their hands and can buy some things.

And because of Sun Ming's series of policies to benefit the people, his prestige is in full swing in the court songs, and now he is taken away by the holy master. This situation will naturally be praised by the people, and all the eight hundred princes are listening to it .

The four princes gathered together again, and the four of them looked at each other. In the end, it was Beibohou Chonghouhu who spoke first, "You guys are not happy at all. Why don't you just talk about something? Now that the king is back, and Chaoge's actions this year Constantly, all the land is owned by the royal family, and trading is prohibited. What do you think of this matter? This time our three families sent troops to suppress the rebellion, will the king give us the fiefs of the 72nd princes?"

His question was very direct. This was the main purpose of coming to the court meeting. Xibo Hou Jichang pondered for a while, and then said: "In my opinion, it will be very difficult to get the fief this time. The royal family has already begun to be wary of us princes." gone."

"Then how can we do it? Ji Chang, our four princes must work together, and the fiefdom must be won, otherwise this dispatch of troops will not be for nothing?" Beibohou Chonghou Hu jumped up, no one thinks too many fiefdoms , Where there is land, there is wealth.

Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu shook his head and said: "Bei Bohou don't need to be anxious, there is no news about this matter yet, it will be clear at the Great Court Meeting, and even if we don't get the fief, our rewards will certainly not be good. There will be less, everyone can take a look." Because of his in-laws, Dong Bohou naturally has some heart for the royal family, and he doesn't believe that the royal family will make him suffer.

However, Ji Chang is cautious by nature, and he is unwilling to be the first bird in some things. It doesn't matter, he doesn't want the other three princes to get fiefdoms and surpass him in strength, so he can't speak. Sun Ming arranged to send troops to leave one without participating, just for this time.

If Nan Bohou was allowed to participate in the encirclement and suppression at the beginning, then Sun Ming is now facing the four major princes. Although Nan Bohou is a bit far away, it is still possible to send troops. plan of.

And although the judgment can be said to be smooth now, the princes from all walks of life suffered a lot of losses, and the elite soldiers in their hands also suffered casualties. This is what Sun Ming wants to see.

Chonghouhu looked at the current situation, and Nanbohou E Chongyu knew without saying a word that this guy didn't want the three on his side to get fiefdom, and the other two also had their own plans, so he said angrily: "Humph, so only I am enthusiastic about it myself, let’s see it later.”

The four princes did not reach an agreement. Under such circumstances, the day of the Great Court Meeting has come.

Early in the morning, Sun Ming, wearing a fine attire and wearing a crown on his head, went directly to the main hall, and then the officials in front of the hall announced loudly: "I will see you in the court."

Shang Rong and Wen Zhong led the civil and military forces, and the four major princes led the princes from all walks of life to enter the palace. The front of the Palace of Political Affairs is now extremely spacious. The traces of the fire last year have disappeared, but the familiar buildings before have also disappeared.The princes were amazed that the king really did not rebuild the palace. It is hard to imagine that such a young king is also a person with a firm mind and is not fascinated by foreign things at all!

"See you, Your Majesty." Sun Minggao sat on the top, looked down at the civil and military ministers and princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and nodded to excuse them.

"Northern Bohou Chonghouhu, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, and Xibohou Jichang led the northern princes to judge meritorious deeds. I am so relieved that the prime minister read out the rewards for Gu." Sun Ming spoke directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shang Rong took out a rectangular folder with a yellow leather cover, and then unfolded it. Inside was snow-white paper, which is what Chaoge uses now. A large number of books were reprinted by movable type printing, replacing bamboo slips.

"The three great princes have made great achievements for their hard work. They rewarded ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, one million copper coins, one hundred commercial plows, and one thousand knives of emperor Xin paper." Later, they heard about the new currencies of gold, silver and copper, which were said to be very useful, but they were not very clear about the amount. At this time, the servants brought some large boxes to the front of the main hall, and after the boxes were opened, a dazzling scene shine.

There is a bronze mirror behind the lights in the main hall, which was made by Sun Ming, and the gold and silver mirrors shine brightly under the light, like infinite treasures. open your eyes.

"Three princes, these are gold ingots, silver ingots, and copper coins are copper coins for attracting wealth and treasure." The catty iron mold is pulled up with water and then dropped, which is basically a one-time molding. There are seven cents of copper and three leads in it, with round square holes, and are cast in the style of Luobao coins.

Shang Rong explained to the three of them, and then continued: "Your Majesty felt that my currency was in confusion, and the weights and measures were different, so I went to the Saint Master Hall to ask for three spirit treasures to help me unify the weights and measures. Qianqiu." Pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner, Shang Rong directly brought out the holy master, and at the same time, a servant took out three things from a tray, covered with a red cloth, and then uncovered, the brilliance was brilliant for a while, and the princes below looked at it I was stunned for a moment.

"The Qiankun Ruler can measure the heaven and the earth. The king personally decides the length of inches, feet, and feet, and then there are mus for the field. The solid mound can be large or small, and the king has set the weight of two, catties, and kilograms. The treasure money, That is to say, the copper money used to attract wealth and treasure is very convenient for shopping.” Sun Ming promoted currency this time, directly using currency to buy food, and allowing currency to circulate, not only facilitated business, but also increased the wealth of the royal family. You must know This money can be regarded as coming from the royal family, and it is directly used to buy things. The royal family has as much wealth as it mints coins.

However, Sun Ming did not directly mint a large amount of gold and silver, but more copper coins. Copper coins are the basic currency in circulation. This demand is huge, and before commerce develops, too much gold and silver cannot be released.

A series of things made the princes of all walks of life a little confused, so although they could hear clearly, they hadn't seen the benefits, so naturally they didn't say much, and Sun Ming then continued to throw things out, let them continue to think instead of saying.

"Everyone, I intend to build another city outside Chaoge City." Sun Ming's words shocked everyone, build another city? "My Dashang has eight hundred princes with a vast territory, but the business roads are blocked and the information is not smooth. I am very troubled by this. So I plan to build another city to provide a trading place for the caravans of the princes from all walks of life, and bring together my Dashang. Products from all over the world are traded here, and Chaoge is located in the center, which saves a lot of distance, so that it can prosper business and increase wealth."

Fei Zhong and You Hun came here today and carefully considered Sun Ming's intentions. They are very smart, otherwise they would not be able to meet each other. The only thing to pay attention to is the wind direction. Now they probably have a bottom line in their hearts. Then, Fei Zhong jumped out first, "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, caravans from various lords can save half the journey, and at the same time, they can buy products from all over the world, saving time and effort. My big business is bound to prosper, and this will last forever." merit."

Not to be outdone, You Hun also jumped out, "That's right, so the princes from all over the world must be rejoicing, and our great merchants will surely prosper and prosper." Only then did Shang Rong, Bigan, and Wen Zhong understand why the king said there are villains Although what they said was true, they couldn't do it with such a lewd expression and such a flattering attitude.

Sun Ming smiled and said nothing, he knew that these two guys were very useful, especially at this time, and the following princes calculated after listening to it, it was indeed the case, there was no need to go to the local area for one thing, just come to Chaoge directly That's okay, so you can buy a lot of goods, and then sell them to your own fief, and the amount of wealth can continue to increase.

But they haven't figured it out. If you want to buy goods, especially for transactions in Chaoge, you need currency first, and Sun Ming will not give you currency for nothing. You need to exchange things, and the value of currency is greater than The original metal form, so that Sun Ming can collect a large amount of precious metals, as well as iron.This is equivalent to collecting the world's wealth into his own pocket. This is Sun Ming's first step to collect money, and the subsequent tax collection is also massive. While making the princes make money, he is the most profitable one, and he can do things with money. Son.
