Chapter 164: Becoming a tomb robber, digging up the ancestral tomb of the Great Khan of Beimang
The sale of salt permits was also one of the important responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue.
It could increase the Ministry of Revenue’s revenue by several million taels every year.
Although the court's finances are now much more abundant, several million taels a year is still a huge income.
Jia Renyi shook his head: "But what Huang Xiao said is not without reason. The salt business in Zhejiang and other places is already very bad. Almost every region has a deficit. It would be better to reduce the money for salt permits as mentioned."
Tang Xiaoren also fell silent.
"Please play the game, Your Majesty."
Seeing the memorial submitted by the cabinet, Li Tian wrote directly with a stroke of his red brush:
"My dear minister, you are absolutely right! The price of official salt should be reduced by half, so that the people can eat affordable salt!"
[Female kindness has caused losses, Great Zhou’s national fortune: -2000 points! ]
[Host unlocks the title of benevolent monarch, national fortune doubles, Great Zhou national fortune: -4000 points! ]
Pretty!
Li Tianlong was very pleased. He thought that Huang Xiao was indeed his lucky star.
Because of the things he did, Li Tian finally ruined the country's fortune.
Receive a commendation!
Li Tian immediately issued an imperial decree of commendation to Huang Xiao!
Huang Xiao was promoted to Governor-General of Salt Administration of Huaihe River, Yuhang, Zhejiang and other places, and was promoted to the fourth rank!
Let him continue to clean up the salt business in Zhejiang!
The salt administration turmoil caused by Huang Xiao this time once again planted the seeds of instability in the imperial court.
north.
Unable to bear the harassment from the Cosaman cavalry, the White Fox tribe responded to Qinuchi's call and headed south, and was completely incorporated into the Northern Mang.
Since then, Qinuchi has completed the integration of Beimang.
After Qinuchi withdrew his troops, the Goryeo expeditionary force retreated immediately.
Of course, Quan Minhao is not a fool, he naturally knows how powerful Beimang is.
If the main force of Beimang really came to Goryeo, Goryeo would have no way to resist at all.
But we also made a lot of money from this expedition.
Goryeo plundered the rear of Beimang and stole many treasures that Beimang had hidden in its base camp.
The Beimang people like to bury gold with their dead.
The Koreans simply turned into tomb robbers and dug up the tombs of several former Khans of Beimang.
Qinuchi almost fainted when he received the news.
But Qinuchi also had his own difficulties. He couldn't transfer all the troops back to Hongjiang.
Now the Great Zhou has troops stationed in Lanwu Grassland and can launch an attack on Beimang at any time.
If the army goes to Hongjiang, Da Zhou will definitely attack.
Therefore, Qinuchi had to integrate some troops opposite the Lanwu grassland.
Through this battle, Jeon Min-ho completely established his prestige.
He was originally the son of the ruler of Goryeo, and now he has the support of the Goryeo Pacifier of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this Northern Expedition against Northern Mang, Goryeo achieved the greatest victory against Northern Mang in its history, and domestic support for Jeon Min-ho also reached its peak.
Taking advantage of the support, Jeon Min-ho immediately began to reform Goryeo.
The first thing was to make it clear that ministers in the Goryeo court must pass the examination for scholars in the Great Zhou before they were eligible to take office.
At the same time, Jeon Min-ho sold the spoils of the Northern Expedition and formed a large-scale study abroad group.
Among them were young officials in the Goryeo court and children of wealthy families.
All tuition and living expenses were paid by the Goryeo court.
Let this group of people go to Da Zhou to study!
As a spiritual Dazhou person, Jeon Min-ho deeply felt the backwardness and ignorance of Goryeo.
So this was his first reform policy.
Comprehensive and comprehensive!
The second thing was that Jeon Min-ho abolished Goryeo's own currency and switched to the currency of Dazhou.
The currency of the Great Zhou was originally widely circulated in Goryeo.
After the Goryeo Pacifier took control of the situation in Goryeo, it became even more popular among the people.
Goryeo's own currency was light in weight, with copper coins lacking weight and containing many impurities.
The copper coins of the Great Zhou Dynasty were sufficient in quantity and exquisite in style.
Therefore, Goryeo originally had many copper coins from the Great Zhou.
This time, Quan Minhao simply abolished the local currency and replaced it with the copper coins of the Great Zhou.
This will also make it convenient to do business with Da Zhou.
The third thing was that Jeon Min-ho used the silver from the Goryeo treasury to build several canning factories.
Goryeo has a well-developed fishing industry and has good technology for catching marine fish.
Therefore, Jeon Min-ho plans to set up a canning factory to produce canned sea fish, hoping to create a new wave of products for Goryeo.
After this round of operations, the small Goryeo court actually showed signs of revival.
Quan Minhao is full of confidence and plans to learn from the Great Zhou and fully sinicize Goryeo!
at the same time.
Mobei, on the vast grassland.
Suddenly a strange cavalry appeared.
These cavalrymen have deep, three-dimensional facial features and thick hair.
The pupils are also dark blue.
"Master Youran?" King Mobei heard the report from his subordinates.
Only then did I remember the Taoist priest who was determined to preach on the grassland.
Didn’t Taoist Master Youran die in the hunt by Beimang?
The King of Mobei also received news from Taoist Youran's disciples.
It is said that Taoist Youran was chased and killed by Beimang.
Is it possible that he is not dead?
The King of Mobei immediately let the Koshaman cavalryman in.
Listening to the half-familiar Chinese, King Mobei finally understood.
Taoist Priest Youran was hunted by the Northern Mang and fled to the far north, where he unexpectedly met the Coshamans.
This group of shamans converted to Taoism and were hired by Taoist priest Youran with the treasures he promised them. They helped the Great Zhou harass the Northern Mang tribe and hold back the White Fox tribe.
With his two unique skills of medicine and preaching, Taoist Master Youran is now the second in command among the Cosaman people.
There is such a thing!
The King of Mobei immediately gave treasures to the shaman envoy, and then asked him to escort Taoist Youran back to Mobei!
The shaman cavalry escorted Taoist Master Youran to the front of Mobei City.
The King of Mobei generously gave the Kosaman a large amount of jewelry.
This time, the shaman leader completely believed what Taoist Youran said!
The Great Zhou is indeed a man of his word!
The Great Zhou is indeed rich!
The Koshamans celebrated with their treasures.
The shamans were long employed by the Russians to help them fight.
As mercenaries, the Coshaman cavalry has a very good reputation.
Moreover, after receiving commissions from their employers, the Coshamans will not retaliate and rob their employers.
Compared to some barbaric mercenaries in India who ate both their employers and their enemies, the Coshamans can be called moral role models.
Now the Russian country is in the midst of internal strife and no longer employs Coshamans.
If you continue to stay there, you will starve to death sooner or later.
It would be better to come to Da Zhou.
This time, Ge Shaman decided to migrate south!
I will follow Da Zhou from now on!
The Geshaman cavalry arrived in Mobei excitedly, ready to accept new employers.
The King of Mobei also met Taoist Youran.
At this time, Taoist Youran still looked like an immortal, but he was wearing a fur coat from the far north.
Taoist Master Youran was quite moved to be able to return to Mobei again.
By this time his injuries had all healed and he was full of energy, not looking like someone who had just returned from the bitter cold of the Far North.
"No wonder the White Fox Tribe was unable to participate in the East Liao War. It turned out that the Taoist priest stopped them!"
"With this kind of strategy, Taoist Youran is like Ban Chao in the world!"
Ban Chao was a famous diplomat in the Han Dynasty. He once went on a diplomatic mission to the western Xinjiang and held back the Xiongnu.
Taoist Priest You Ran asked, "The imperial court started a war in Eastern Liao? What was the result?"
