    Emperor Hongzhi was confused.

    Gold, silver, copper.

    This is currency.

    The silver that the imperial court accounts for every year is only two million taels, and the remaining gold, copper, etc. are actually not much. The gold, silver, and copper mines in the pass are almost monopolized by the imperial court, but it is useless. The amount of mining is only so much.  , pitifully few.

    On the one hand, mining is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in many mines, which have been excavated since the Spring and Autumn Period. The deeper the veins are dug, the greater the cost.

    Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was short of silver, and the court had to use treasure banknotes to replace silver. But the problem was that treasure banknotes also used silver and copper coins as reserves. When the court only focused on issuing treasure banknotes, as a result, people could not exchange treasure banknotes for silver.  With a sufficient amount of money, naturally, no one will believe in the value of the treasure banknotes.

    The reason is that on the one hand, the imperial court is short of money; on the other hand, it is also because the imperial court's expenditure is too large. More and more treasure banknotes are issued indiscriminately, and in the end it cannot make up for the shortfall.

    In Hexi, a large number of mineral veins were discovered.

    Emperor Hongzhi's face was first surprised, and then he chuckled, expressing disbelief.

    How is this possiblehow is it possible in Hexithe mountains there are full of stones, and the entire desert is full of stones!

    "Jifan, are you kidding me?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan and said seriously.

    Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "It's true." As he said that, he took out Jiang Chen's letter: "Your Majesty, this is the result of personal exploration by Jiang Chen, my prot¨¦g¨¦, after he led people to Hexi.  , the mineral deposits contained in it are immeasurable.¡±

    ""

    Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

    They watched helplessly as Fang Jifan presented the letter, while His Majesty was busy looking down at the letter. Judging from Emperor Hongzhi's expression as if he was mourning for his heir nine times out of ten, this is true

    There is absolutely no need for Fang Jifan to make this joke.

    Liu Jian suddenly felt distressed.

    Mines, there are countless mines. If the Ming Dynasty had not given up on Hexi, or if this mine had not been given to Fang Jifan, this vein belonged to the national treasury. How much real gold and silver could it bring to the national treasury every year?

    Xie Qian¡¯s face turned ashen.

    What is even more speechless is Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang was still upset about this just now, but now he is a bit dumbfounded.

    Are you kidding?

    He is the Minister of Household Affairs. Over the years, the mineral veins in the pass have gradually dried up. He knows this better than anyone else, but now

    Fortunately, he was mocking Fang Jifan just now. Now it seems his face hurts a little, and the corners of his mouth are twitching. He has been slapped in the face.

    Zhang Sheng opened his mouth as big as an egg and stared at Fang Jifan dumbfounded.

    Looking at the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Majesty is so kind to me I am so kind to you I don't know how to be grateful."

    ""

    Emperor Hongzhi put down the letter silently.

    I was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

    In the Nuan Pavilion, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, and no one made a sound.

    "How about that." Fang Jifan said cautiously: "How about I don't want this land? I really don't dare to accept such a rich gift. Your Highness, the princess, only wants to share your worries for your majesty. Even if you are poor in the princess mansion,  It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a little less expensive. I, your Highness, and the princess, can live frugally and live frugally. Your Majesty¡¯s big plan is the most important thing. In this desert land, I, your Majesty  If you dare not accept it, please Your Majesty, please take back your order."

    Emperor Hongzhi felt as if he had lost his temper.

    After being the emperor for more than ten years, in fact I am the one who is frugal in food and clothing. Over the years, I have been reluctant to have new clothes cut by the Supervisor of the Shang Yi. I have also tried my best to save the royal food, and let Empress Zhang weave in the harem herself. Who can do this like me?  , I finally saved a sum of money, who knows

    He took a deep breath he felt a little moved, this place take it back?

    only¡­¡­

    He seems to be unable to let go of this face, and the words he speaks are like water thrown out, which is difficult to recover. What's more, he is the emperor, and his words cannot be changed.

    Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "What Fang Jifan said is wrong. If he takes back his life now, how can his father have the face to call himself king? Have you ever heard of an emperor taking back his life after just a short while? No."Inevitably, there will be workshops set up. The desert is a vast area, and people may not be able to reach nearby towns on two legs alone. It may take several days. Then a large number of horses and a large amount of goods will be needed.  When entering and exiting the customs, the demand for cattle and horses will only be greater, and some people will start to learn to raise cattle and horses.

    The mine belongs to the Zhenguo Mansion, but the land belongs to our successor. The people on the ground are naturally our successor's people in life and our successor's ghost in death. Countless people live, feed and live here, so the cultivated land belongs to me.  The pasture and the cattle and horses on it are also mine, and even the smelting workshop has been left in Hexi. More and more people are going to Hexi to pursue wealth. A large amount of minerals are mined, and countless people have taken this opportunity to become rich, along with all the people in the Western Regions.  In the country's Hexi, the Ming Dynasty is bound to resume trade with other countries in the Western Regions. Countless chambers of commerce in the name of paying tribute will pass through Hexi, a choke point. In the end, they will leave behind and take away countless wealth and goods.

    This is the long-term solution.

    On the contrary, all that can be obtained from mineral deposits is currency. For the Fang successor, currency is not real enough. People, fields, pastures, business roads, and workshops are the most real things.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
