"Fusu has been leading the army on an expedition for half a month, and I don't know if I have arrived on Fusang Island, have there been any accidents?"

In the imperial study, Ying Zheng put down the fold in his hand with an irritated face, got up and stood up.

Although every few days, a flying pigeon comes to pass the book, but after all, thousands of miles away, it is absolutely impossible to say that Yingzheng is not worried.

Now Fusu is the hope of the future of the entire Great Qin, and he is the successor trusted by Yingzheng.

If he had a choice, Ying Zheng would rather have an accident by himself than want Fusu to be harmful.

The officials were also silent.

Ying Zheng's thoughts, they, the old ministers, are very clear.

In fact, they were just as worried about Fusu.

Not to mention, just above this court, now that Fusu is away, there is one thing that has been unresolved.

That is, with the vigorous development of Daqin's commerce, Daqin's Qin half tael is far from enough, and it is a bit difficult to use.

Although the Great Qin implemented both gold and copper coins, the merchants and the common people were more accustomed to using copper coins, after all, the Qin and half taels were of uniform specifications, while gold did not have a unified standard at present.

A little bit of purity, the value of gold, will be much worse.

Although copper coins are easy to use, one is that the number has not kept up with the speed of development, and the other is that they are too bulky.

Before, business was not developed, and it was all small transactions, and the impact was not large.

But nowadays, with the rapid growth of commerce, large-scale transactions of tens of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, have become common.

In this case, the disadvantages of copper coins are manifested.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin and a half taels of copper coins, which require several carriages to move.

It's okay to trade short distances, but if you travel thousands of miles to run business, it's really troublesome.

Especially with the continuous improvement of Daqin's influence, neighboring countries have joined the business alliance led by Daqin, and when Daqin merchants passed, they also extended their business scope again.

This kind of cross-border trade, just transporting copper coins, is extremely costly.

The solution is not for nothing.

Nesten had consulted Fusu specifically for this before, and gave several strategies.

One is to refer to the Qin Banliang, which is officially minted by Daqin to mint gold coins and gold ingots of standard specifications, which are guaranteed by the official reputation, so that merchants do not need to worry about the problem of purity, and can use them with confidence.

However, there is not much gold in the treasury of Great Qin, and no one is sure of the specific specifications.

If it is too real, then the coinage will be lost.

However, if it is mixed with a little silver or copper, no one knows whether the hairstyle will be acceptable after that.

All of these need Fusu to call the shots.

In addition, Fusu also mentioned that silver could also be used as currency, but it also faced the same problems as gold.

"Fortunately, now my Daqin's foreign trade is far greater than exports, why don't we first recast the exotic copper coins exchanged by these merchants and use them for a period of time?"

The right prime minister Feng Qu said quickly.

Because foreign coins could not be used in Daqin, after the merchants returned to China, they had to exchange foreign copper coins for Daqin copper coins.

Due to the higher quality of Qin Banliang, the exchange ratio of Qin Banliang for these exotic copper coins is basically above 1:1.5, and the Great Qin official can still have a surplus.

Of course, in neighboring countries, this ratio has long exceeded 1:2.

This made the surrounding countries like Qin Banliang very much, and once again exacerbated the money shortage in Great Qin.

"Yes, but it still can't last a lot of time!"

"And in addition to minting money, many large projects also require a large number of copper ingots!"

Neston sighed.

Nowadays, Daqin construction is thriving, and the consumption of various materials is also huge.

Although steel production is gradually rising, in many places, there is still a need to use better copper, which makes Nesten also very difficult.

"Let's melt some of it first, and wait for Fusu to come back!"

Ying Zheng made up his mind.

At this time, Zhang Han rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Your Majesty, great joy, super joy!"

Zhang Han couldn't help himself with excitement, and danced with his hands.

Ying Zheng and the hundred officials couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Great Qin's conquest of Fusang Island, victory should be reasonable, even if the speed is a little faster, Zhang Han will not be excited like this?

There are unexpected surprises.

Ying Zheng hurriedly snatched the good news from the hand of Zhang Han, who was already speechless with excitement, and glanced at it.

A sense of ecstasy emerged directly from Ying Zheng's face.

Even with the determination of Emperor Yingzhengshi, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

"Haha!"

"It's worthy of Fusu!"

"Now, I'm Daqin, and I don't have to worry about running out of money anymore!"

A few moments later, Ying Zheng came back to his senses and said with a happy face.

The officials were suddenly curious.

What kind of news can make Zhang Han and Yingzheng excited like this.

And it also made Yingzheng feel that Daqin no longer had to worry about running out of money to use?

Could it be that in this Fusang Island, there are a bunch of gold and silver mountains.

"Your Majesty, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with all!"

Meng Yi stiffened his head and leaned forward and said.

"Hehe, I'm so happy!"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath before reading in a slightly trembling voice.

"Thanks to the grace of the father, the son led the Great Qin Sailor this time, and the journey was extremely smooth, and he has successfully taken Fusang Island, and captured all the traitors such as the enemy chief Xu Fu alive!"

"And on Fuso Island, several large gold, silver and copper mines have been discovered!"

"One of the largest copper mines, with reserves of at least billions of catties!"

"As long as the personnel and equipment are in place, more than five million catties of copper can be mined every year!"

The officials were completely stunned.

Nesten almost fell unconscious.

Billions of pounds of copper, what a terrifying reserve!

All the copper that has been mined in Daqin doesn't have so much, right?

It can be mined five million catties a year, and if it is all minted into Qin half taels, it will be a full 160 million dollars!

This data is simply crazy!

You must know that even if Daqin's business is booming now, the commercial tax is far higher than the agricultural tax, and the treasury revenue is almost ten times higher than the same period last year, and the total annual income is only more than 200 million yuan.

This is equivalent to the total revenue of the national treasury, which has almost doubled again!

Could it be that Zhang Han was so excited that he couldn't speak, could it be that the determination of the First Emperor was shocked for a long time.

The officials are already completely unable to describe their ecstasy.

I was worried about running out of money just now.

All of a sudden, Fusu brought a super big money mountain!

Many people even calculate in their hearts how long this copper mountain has been mined.

Then I almost fainted again.

Like Wang Jian and others, they found something surprising.

That is, Yingzheng seems to be only halfway there.

And as is customary, the real surprises are often in the back!

They didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

The legendary turning stones into gold is not so exaggerated, right?

Immortals and gods can't be compared to His Royal Highness Fusu!
