Chapter 232 The Heaven-Defying Harvest, The Official Was Shocked
"Your Majesty, in our Great Qin's foreign trade, exports are far greater than imports.
Why don't we first recast the foreign copper coins exchanged by the merchants and survive this period of time? "
After a little thought, Feng Quji proposed.
Because foreign currency cannot be used in Daqin, merchants will exchange foreign currency for Daqin's half tael after returning home.
Due to the higher quality of half taels, the exchange ratio is basically above 1:1.5, and Daqin officials can still have a surplus.
Of course, this ratio has already broken through to 1:2 in neighboring countries.
The surrounding countries liked Qin Banliang very much, which once again exacerbated the money shortage of Daqin.
"It can be done, but it won't take much time!"
"And in addition to casting coins, many large projects also require a lot of copper ingots!"
Neston sighed.
Nowadays, the construction of Daqin is thriving, and the consumption of various materials is also huge.
Although steel production is gradually increasing, copper with better performance is still required in many places.
This put Nestern in a dilemma.
"Let's melt the part first, and we'll talk about the rest when the prince comes back!"
Ying Zheng made up his mind.
At this moment, Zhang Han rushed in with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, great victory, Fusang great victory!"
Looking at Zhang Han with such an excited expression, Ying Zheng and the officials couldn't help being a little surprised.
It is reasonable for Daqin to conquer Fusang Island and win.
Even if the speed was a little faster, Zhang Han wouldn't be so excited, would he?
Maybe there are unexpected surprises.
Ying Zheng quickly took the good news from Zhang Han's hand, and just glanced at it.
A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
Even with the determination of winning the government, he couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay!"
"You are worthy of being my son, and you are worthy of being the prince of Daqin."
"Now, Daqin, I don't have to worry about running out of money anymore!"
Looking at Ying Zheng with a happy face, all the officials were itchy and curious.
Everyone wants to know, what kind of news is it that can make Zhang Han and His Majesty so excited?
And it also made His Majesty feel that Daqin no longer has to worry about running out of money?
Could it be that there are piles of gold and silver in Fusang Island?
"Your Majesty, it is better to be alone than to be happy together!"
Meng Yi bit the bullet and said.
"Hehe, I'm so happy!"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and then read:
"Thanks to the grace of the father, the son led the Daqin navy this time, and the journey has been extremely smooth, and he has successfully captured Fusang Island!"
"And on Fusang Island, several large gold, silver and copper mines were discovered!"
"One of the largest copper mines has reserves of at least hundreds of thousands of catties!"
"As long as the personnel and equipment are in place, more than 500 million catties of copper can be mined every year!"
Ying Zheng's voice echoed in the Qilin Hall, and the officials were completely stunned.
Nestern almost fainted.
Hundreds of thousands of catties of copper mines, what kind of terrifying reserves are these?
Five million catties can be mined every year. If all of them are cast into half taels, it will be a full 500 yuan!
This is a number that can drive everyone crazy!
Daqin is now booming in business, and the business tax is far higher than the agricultural tax.
The national treasury's income is almost ten times higher than the same period last year, and the total annual income is only more than [-] million yuan.
And this Fusang Island is just a copper mine, which is almost equal to the total revenue of the national treasury.
No wonder Zhang Han is so excited, no wonder His Majesty's determination will shock him for a long time.
At this moment, the hundreds of officials in the Qilin Palace are completely unable to describe their feelings.
They were still worrying about money just now.
But who would have thought that at this juncture, His Royal Highness would directly throw out a huge mountain of money!
Many officials even calculated in their hearts how long this copper mountain can be mined.
After counting, they were almost fainted from shock.
But Wang Jian, Meng Yi and the others looked at Ying Zheng on the throne expectantly.
Because, His Majesty seems to have only read half of it.
As usual, the real surprises are often at the end!
Thinking of this, everyone gasped.
They didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The legendary Midas touch is not so exaggerated, is it?
"Does Your Majesty have other benefits in the future?"
At this moment, the excitement on Nestern's face could no longer be restrained.
As the internal history of Daqin Zhili, he feels the shortage of money the most.
"Of course there are, and there are many.
It's just that Aiqing has to be mentally prepared, and don't faint like last time.
I don't want to lose a loyal minister. "
Ying Zheng, who was in a good mood, made a joke in the Qilin Palace for the first time.
Today, he has a better understanding of money than before, so he naturally understands what so much gold, silver and copper mean to Daqin.
This means that all projects in Daqin that cannot be carried out due to lack of money can all be started.
It means that the project under construction can be accelerated again!
Not to mention too much, if the Grand Canal can be opened in advance, how much benefit can it bring to Daqin?
Ying Zheng never expected that a small Fusang Island could have so many resources.
You know, Fusang Island is just a drop in the ocean on the world map.
How many islands are there in the sea?
At this moment, Ying Zheng completely became a supporter of the Great Navigation.
Without going to sea, without conquering Fusang Island, where can I get this astronomical amount of money?
"Your Majesty, last time, I was too excited. This time, I have prepared myself and will definitely not faint. Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Nestern's old face twitched, the last time he fell to the ground because of his excitement.
It has become the object of jokes by Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Dunwei and others.
This time, nothing can be the same as last time, otherwise his old face will really be lost.
"It's okay, the old man is standing behind you, and I will definitely not let you fall again!"
"No, there are still us!"
Meng Yi, Wang Jian and others also followed suit.
"Your Majesty, don't be fooled, read it quickly!"
Feng Quji spoke eagerly.
I don't know when His Majesty got caught up in the bad taste of showing off, it's really anxious.
But he is the emperor, and they dare not get angry.
Uncomfortable no!
"Okay, I won't tease you guys. In fact, I was a little dazed just now. I almost thought I was wrong!"
Ying Zheng laughed loudly as he looked at the officials with resentful expressions.
You should hurry up and say it!
All the officials wanted to shout out anxiously, but they didn't dare.
He could only pant heavily and stare at the smiling Ying Zheng.
"In addition to the copper mine just now, a gold mine was also discovered on Fusang Island.
According to the detection, the annual output of this gold mine can reach more than 20 jin, and it must be mined for at least [-] years! "
Ying Zheng said indifferently, but in the next second his face revealed a look of astonishment.
Then, there was a sound of "bang, bang, bang" in the Qilin Hall!
This time, not only Nei Shiten was over-excited, but even Meng Yi and the others staggered and sat down directly on the ground.
