Chapter 334 What? There is so much money that there is no place to spend it?
Lu Su also said: "I heard that there are still some moths in Dongjun. Maybe Jushou will go there. Your Majesty may not see him for a few days."
Zhao Feng was immediately speechless: "I want to see my minister, but I can't see him yet? In this case, I will discuss it with you. In fact, what I want to say is also about these Kushan caravans. I don't know what Kong Ming did.
It actually caused a huge increase in sales. In this case, we should encourage local people to gather those idle people and let them make various things and make money to support their families."
Zhang Zhao was still a little confused and asked: "Your Majesty, our people now have no worries about food and clothing, why do we have to interact with them and let them get so many supplies?"
Zhao Feng laughed: "When our people get rich, we can continue to get tax revenue. If the country has more money, we can buy their materials and make more good things."
"If the people don't work and only farm, they won't be rich, and we won't get more tax revenue. The key is that if they don't work, we will be short of materials, such as making wine. If we have more people, we will get a lot of wine.
, so that every household of the common people will have money, and our court can also get more money through the wine tax!"
Only then did Zhang Zhao understand: "That's it. It turns out that this is the way to make money and strengthen the country's strength!"
Although Lu Su also knew something about business, he didn't see it so thoroughly. When Zhao Feng said this, he suddenly felt that the clouds were lifted and his heart became clear.
Immediately, these civil servants immediately went down to arrange the matter, supervise local governments, encourage people to start businesses, and open various workshops.
"Ding! It is detected that the host's luck is at its peak, and a full version of "Tiangong Kaiwu" will be rewarded!"
The sound of the system sounded in Zhao Feng's ears, and he suddenly looked happy!
"Tiangong Kaiwu" is a book similar to "Mengxi Bi Tan". It is more technical and involves many handicrafts.
Especially Zhao Feng noticed that the "complete version", this thing is probably more complete in variety, and the craftsmanship inside is also introduced more clearly!
If it can be implemented, it will definitely make the Wei Dynasty prosperous thousands of times!
The next day, Zhang Zhao and others came to report one after another: "Your Majesty, our current technology is actually only iron smelting and glass manufacturing, and we have obvious advantages."
"However, these technologies are affected by the quantity of raw materials. It is not easy to add more workshops now, such as silk and wine making. There are sufficient raw materials, but the technology is controlled by some big families and they are unwilling to disclose it, and they cannot open more workshops. Your Majesty
, the common people really want to make money, but it’s a pity that they are tightly controlled by those big families.”
Zhao Feng looked at his "Tiangong Kaiwu" and immediately laughed: "Go and order the government to open silk and wine workshops. I have the craftsmanship here, but it must be kept secret to prevent it from being stolen by those foreign guys."
"Once the workshop is opened, we will immediately recruit people for me, and in addition to the six departments, we will open a business department. The status of the ministers of the business department will be the same as that of the six ministers. From now on, the status of business people will be the same as that of civilians, and they will no longer be included in the lower class.
Citizenship and commerce have since become as important as agriculture as the backbone of the country!"
Zhao Feng’s handiwork cannot be said to be insignificant!
His "Tiangong Kaiwu" only used a few types. If the various technologies in it are continued to be implemented, the Wei Dynasty will really take off!
Furthermore, Zhao Feng wanted to set up an independent commerce department in addition to the six departments to completely enhance the status of merchants. However, as a department exclusive to the imperial court, this still required a lot of officials and a lot of manpower.
But today's Wei Dynasty just lacks talents.
Fortunately, the time for the second scientific examination has arrived.
During this year, a large number of books were distributed and sold everywhere, benefiting countless students who wanted to study.
During the local examinations, this year there are already talents selected from last year's examinations serving as examiners in various places.
Soon, another group of talented people were selected.
After the examination, almost all talents with business talents were retained.
Because Xi Zhicai suddenly acquired the talent of being proficient in business, he was given the job of being the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. Many talents selected this time enriched the Ministry of Commerce.
Only then was the Commercial Department completely established, with Xi Zhicai taking charge of the overall affairs, and those talents who had awakened their business talents were sent to workshops in various places to serve as workshop owners and be responsible for manufacturing products.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 380 business talents obtained this time. How to arrange so many people?" Jushou expressed concern about this. "There are too many business talents. It is a waste to not use them all. There are many key people."
There is only this kind of talent. If they are not used, sending them back will immediately discourage scholars and make them think that reading is useless!"
Zhao Feng laughed when he heard this: "What I worry about is that there are not enough talents, but you are worried about too many talents. If you come back in a few days, I will see if you still say that there are too many talents!"
Nowadays, the common people know how to make silk, but few people know about the dyeing method. Those folk workshops that are known cannot be compared with Zhao Feng's "Tiangong Kaiwu"!
Soon, an official printing and dyeing workshop was opened in almost every county in the Wei Dynasty!
Once the dye house came out, it began to recruit talents aggressively, and a large number of idle people were recruited.
Due to the large-scale emergence of dyeing workshops, the selling price of clothes has dropped, and private workshops have closed down. It seems that there is a problem with profitability.
However, just when people everywhere felt worried, Xi Zhicai had already sent people to the dyeing houses in various places to urge the delivery of dyed silk!
People everywhere know that this dyeing workshop is dyeing day and night, but the prices of clothes in various counties are also plummeting.
So the common people felt that this official printing and dyeing workshop was going to close down and could not sell for the price. How long could it last relying on court subsidies alone?
However, not long after, people from all over the country heard that the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Fuyu and the newly conquered Kushan Empire sent large numbers of caravans to purchase silk of various colors at high prices.
The grassland is windy and prefer colors that are resistant to stains. Fuyu people love cleanliness and like bright colors. Kushan people used to believe in Buddhism and preferred gold.
These silks were taken away by various countries. The grassland people left behind hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, but the Kushan people left behind a large amount of gold and precious stones.
Da Wei immediately made a fortune.
"What! The treasury is full?"
In the palace, an official from the Ministry of Industry came in and sweated profusely.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the money has come so fast recently that it can't be spent all. The treasury is full. Now there is still a lot of gold that has no place to put it and can only be thrown in the compound."
Zhao Feng was also surprised: "I am actually so rich? Now that it is full, let's build another treasury and build dozens of them. This is just the beginning. There will be more money in the future."
Since the price reduction in dyeing houses, people all over the country have received great benefits. Many people are wearing colorful silks and colorful cloths for the first time. Girls are all dressed up in colorful clothes. It is really tempting!
At the beginning, when I was buying clothes from various places, the cloth sellers were worried. They were almost scared to death when they saw the plummeting prices.
But soon they discovered that the price drop had made their purchase prices much lower, while sales were surging, and their income was actually much better!
