At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

There is enough food to support them, but money is a headache for Liu Yu and Tian Feng.

Although the policy on commercial development in the south has been issued and implemented.

However, it is impossible to reap the fruits immediately after the seeds are planted, and it will take time.

It was also Liu Yu who was a little impatient. The plan that was originally planned to be implemented next year, but because of the arrival of winter in the north, these idle craftsmen were directly asked to continue working in the south.

However, the matter has come to this point, Liu Yu will not give up, isn't it just money?

If it is not enough, you can find a way. If you stop all the fortifications now, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to continue.

It will also leave a very bad impression in the hearts of the southern people.

Now, who is the richest big man?Undoubtedly, it used to be a noble family in the north, but now it has turned into a merchant family.

Liu Yu's series of policies for the gentry encouraged them to do business and made them a lot of money.

Nowadays, the big man needs money to develop, and they, the beneficiaries, naturally have a duty to do so.

Therefore, Liu Yu ordered Tian Feng to gather together merchants from various gentry families in the Han Dynasty and let them contribute money for the development of the South.

The imperial court will not let the money they spend go to waste. The money raised this time will be based on how much the merchants pay.

If more money is paid, then the commercial channels in the south will be wider in the future, and shops can buy more, and the benefits will be greater.

After Tian Feng explained a series of benefits to these hundreds of thousands of merchants, these merchants donated generously without hesitation.

What will happen to the development of the South?They can guess with their toes.

Today, the development of the north, although it is also making progress, has reached a certain bottleneck.

It will take a long time to break through this bottleneck, at least three to five years.

Moreover, compared to the north, the south is undoubtedly more suitable for the people to live in. Now, the war in the south is gone forever.

I believe that many unsatisfactory people living in the north will go to the south.

Today, the north and the south are interconnected, and the transportation is very convenient. Dozens of piers have been set up along the Yangtze River and along the Huaihe River.

Every day at each dock, there are dozens of official ships traveling between the two sides of the strait to transport passengers.

You only need to spend a little money to reach the other side safely, and you don't have to worry about water thieves.

At this time, water thieves and mountain thieves have become a thing of the past, and the common people have already forgotten them.

If there really were thieves somewhere, it is estimated that the generals of all the big men will fight for their heads and rush to eliminate them.

Water thieves and mountain thieves are sweet pastries. They can't help but make contributions and capture a lot of money.

In this peaceful period, military merits were not easy to obtain. After the unification war, several tens of thousands of generals were promoted to generals.

Some of the new generals who joined the imperial court have not reached the level of ten thousand generals. Can they not be jealous?

It is said that His Majesty once said at the court meeting that the tomb of heroes in Bingzhou Jinyang and Longshan will be moved to Luoyang in the future.

The hero statues will be re-sculpted in Luoyang in the future and will be preserved from generation to generation.

And in front of each statue, a stone tablet is erected, and the deeds of these civil and military heroes are engraved on it for future generations to admire!

What an honor is this?What is Wei Huo's merit?What dragon city flying general?There is no comparison with them.

You know, as long as His Majesty's ideals come true, everyone in the world will admire them!

This world is not that world!The world is so big, far beyond their previous imagination!

The big man is so big that it spans thousands of miles!But it's only a small part of the world.

The population of Dahan is more than 2000 million!However, it only accounts for one-fifth of the world's population!Even less.

One can imagine how big the world is!These are all from the mouth of the emperor who is respected by them like a god.

For Liu Yu, all the subjects of the Han Dynasty are blindly convinced. Even if Liu Yu says that sea water is sweet, they will blindly believe it.

Even if they drink it in their mouths and it is salty, they will also hypnotize themselves, because their own feelings are wrong!

Some of these merchants even handed over most of their wealth to the imperial court.

This also shows how much trust and support these merchants have for the imperial court and Liu Yu.

And Tian Feng also registered the money handed in by the merchants, and finally handed it over to the emperor for review.

For those who support him, Liu Yu will not be stingy. Of course, it is impossible for these merchants to support Liu Yu.

Those merchants who were reluctant to part with money or hesitated were also secretly remembered by Tian Feng.

What awaits them is not the iron cavalry front, but a road that gets narrower and narrower, until in the end, their entire family will be wiped out in the long river of time.

……

Chapter 558

The whole big man, counting the top merchants, how much money do they have in their hands?

There is simply no way to figure it out!Most of them hand over half of their net worth, and even some merchants hand over most of their net worth to the state treasury.

How much money is this?Not to mention ordinary people, even the ministers of the court and even Liu Yu saw so much money for the first time.

Cavalry were sent from various places to escort the money-carrying carriages, and rushed to Luoyang from various places.

The national treasury was filled within a few days, and the carriages transporting money were still being sent to Luoyang continuously.

At this time, Tian Feng's hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and his hands holding the pen were shaking constantly. He hadn't closed his eyes for several days.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, but because, even at night, there will be a carriage filled with money arriving in Luoyang.

Tian Feng was unwilling to let his subordinates take over, so Tian Feng personally supervised the inventory of every carriage.

In the end, Liu Yu couldn't bear to see Tian Feng, who looked like a fleeing refugee.

He ordered that the rest of the carriages be parked in front of the treasury first, and guards were sent to guard it. No one was allowed to approach the treasury.

Let Tian Feng go down to rest, otherwise, Tian Feng is very likely to be the first person in history to be exhausted from counting money.

With so much financial support, there is no pressure at all to build the academy houses in the south.

Even after the weather gets warmer next year, the money will be enough to support the completion of the construction of the academy and residential houses in the north.

Even with the construction of water conservancy, roads and bridges, the money is enough.

At this point, Liu Yu had to sigh, people are really forced out.

There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. There are always more ways than difficulties. When encountering difficulties.Think calmly, there will always be a solution.

Moreover, after this incident, Liu Yu also thought of an advanced idea, that is, to open a bank.

In each city of the Han Dynasty, a shop was set up to set up a bank, so that all the common people and merchants could deposit their money in the bank.

Set up the bills, access must have a certificate, and record the specific information of each household.

In this way, the problem of money can not help but be fundamentally solved, and it will also help to record the family size and living conditions of the people.

However, the meal needs to be eaten bite by bite. For this matter, first make a general plan.

When the construction of the academy, various cities, houses, and water conservancy roads is completed, the next step is to implement this plan.

If the money that has just been put into the treasury is still not enough in the end, the plan will be used in advance. At that time, the money of the entire Han Dynasty will be concentrated in the hands of the court.

If this plan were to be implemented in other periods, it would definitely not be able to continue. Even if it was enforced, countless people and merchants would resist it.

In the end, maybe it will happen because of this??, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, but this situation will not happen during Liu Yu's implementation.

All because of Liu Yu's strong appeal, all common people and merchants believed in Liu Yu.

Such a powerful army, such a powerful court, what else do they have to worry about?

Of course, the implementation of this plan cannot be accomplished with only one Ministry of Commerce.

The Ministry of Households is needed to help with statistics, and the current big man uses bamboo slips.

If you want to record so much information, I am afraid that you will cut down all the bamboo in the whole big man, which is not enough.

As for Caihou paper, although it is relatively simple to make, its quality is not good and it is not easy to store.

Back then, when Cai Lun saw women making silk fabrics, he thought of using the same method, using tree bark, broken fishing nets, rags, hemp heads, etc. as raw materials.

Caihou paper suitable for writing was made, and it became a writing material commonly used by the gentry.

Although the raw materials of this kind of paper are cheap and easy to find, the paper is yellowish and cannot be mass-produced.

Therefore, Liu Yu thought of the kind of clean and white paper used by later generations.

If it can be manufactured, that thin, white and flawless paper can definitely take on the heavy responsibility of recording so much information.

Even, the imperial court can use this paper to make a lot of money, and even sell it outside the big man!

And with the introduction of new paper, movable type printing will inevitably come out!

At that time, all the ancient book collections will be printed into thin books, which will not only be convenient for storage, but also bring unimaginable profits!

Since the bank cannot implement it immediately, but the improvement of papermaking technology can be implemented immediately.

Afterwards, Liu Yu ordered Ma Jun, Huang Yueying, and Liu Ye to be summoned to the imperial study.

Liu Yu told the three of them all the thoughts in his mind. After hearing this, the three of them were very excited, and their faces were full of eagerness to try.

They know what kind of earthquake will be caused once the new papermaking technology, printing technology, and books come out!

At the very least, countless Confucian scholars and students will be grateful to them. Although they are not a literary giant, their names will be passed down forever!

Especially Huang Yueying, he came to look for Liu Yu to prove that women can also be officials, and that they are no worse than men.

Now, he has proven his talent and has been recognized by everyone.

If the papermaking and other projects are successful, Huang Yueying's name will surpass his father's and the Pound company's horse emblem.

To be the representative of female officials in this era, isn't that what Huang Yueying wants?

Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, the three of them carefully asked Liu Yu for the details.

Liu Yu didn't know too much about this, he only knew papermaking, which involves chopping wood into sawdust.

Then it has to be cooked at high temperature, and then it is made into wood pulp!Also add something to the wood pulp.

But Liu Yu didn't know exactly what to add. He only knew that adding those things would make the paper whiter.

Liu Yu didn't know, and the three of them didn't know even more. Although they were in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the R&D Institute, they were not proficient in papermaking.

However, there are countless capable people in the research and development institute, and there must be someone who is specialized in papermaking.

So, after the three of them bid farewell to Liu Yu, they hurried towards the research and development institute.

At this time, they are already impatient, it can be said that time is like years.

They can't wait to fly to the research and development institute immediately, call the paper craftsman, and ask them clearly.

In the end, after questioning, the three did not come up with a way to make the paper white.

However, after their research, they still made the paper thinner and lighter.

However, this obviously does not meet the requirements of the emperor. Even if Caihou paper is thinner and lighter, the color is still withered and yellow.

Therefore, the entire R&D Institute, and all those who have done research on papermaking, participated in it.

They forget about food and sleep every day to study various methods, and their purpose is to make the paper whiter.

However, this matter is not so easy to solve.

……

Chapter 559

This problem has always plagued the research and development institute, and this matter has become the demon in the hearts of all the people in the research and development institute.

Breaking through this difficulty has become the belief of everyone in the research and development institute.

It was not until the spring of the following year, that is, the spring of 195, that this problem was not resolved.

Speaking of which, the biggest contributor to this matter is Concubine Zhen, also known as Zhen Mi.

In the past, queens, beauties, etc. in the harem were not allowed to leave the palace, and even if they did, there were clear regulations.

Once a year, or once every few years, I go back to my hometown to visit relatives, and the queen can go out of the palace once a month, but she cannot leave Luoyang.

And Liu Yu, with a wave of his hand, changed this decision. People in the harem can leave the palace, but they must be aboveboard.
