Chapter 1014 The Han Army’s Plunder Plan

In fact, the Han army has brought too many changes to the world over the years.

These changes are silent and subtle.

Moreover, this change has been deeply affected by it, both in Daqian and Taiping Dao Kingdom.

In fact, things like salted fish and pickles were introduced mainly because the Han army needed to control salt, and then to ensure the health of the people under their rule.

With the increase in territory, ships, and factories, the Han army added a lot of new professionals, which would be worker positions for later generations.

Therefore, the production of salted fish is mainly concentrated in Leizhou and Fuzhou.

The production of pickles is mainly concentrated in Liaozhou, northern Xinjiang.

As for canned food, which was just released a few years ago and still needed to support people to plant fruit trees on barren hills, but now the output is not so large, it is a proper luxury product.

Among these three kinds of supplies, salted fish is a war preparation food. That is to say, you need to carry a certain amount of salted fish with you when you go on an expedition to ensure that you still have salt and food in extreme circumstances.

Of course, salted fish is also divided into military standards and civilian standards. According to the military standards, in the words of the soldiers, this thing can be polished into a sharp dagger.

So in normal times, salted fish has withdrawn from the army’s dining table, replaced by pickles.

Although pickles are more delicious and can add a lot of salt, due to transportation problems, they have become a must-have food on the dining tables of military stations.

Not to mention anything else, just this pickle, when there is no other food, just eat a big bowl of dry rice with pickle.

Therefore, pickles are popular among the military, and the Ordnance Institute has even begun to study how to make pickles easier to store and carry.

In the last can, this thing is also a complete luxury product for the Han army.

The luxury here is not about the glass bottle and bottle cap, but the sugar contained in it.

The cost is too high, so far it has been an excellent benefit within the Han army, but it still costs money to buy it.

Ordinary people can't even buy it with money!

If a boy or a man performs meritorious service, receives a reward, and returns with a bottle of cans, that would be a great honor!

The women in the family enjoy the compliments and envy of others in the village.

It is said that in the Taiping Tao Kingdom and Daqian, as well as the legendary Rakshasa Barbarians, this can is worth everything.

Among them, the lids of cans are made of the same fine iron and have uniform and exquisite patterns, so the lids of cans are used as money.

In order to facilitate transactions, many businessmen will use can lids and add their own passwords and the like to make it easier to deposit and withdraw money, which is much easier to use than the so-called Jiaozi.

In other words, this can lid has become the new Jiaozi, and it seems to be the fourth currency.

If it weren't for the small quantity of cans shipped and the lack of can lids, the Han army would probably be making a fortune by making can lids by now.

So when Liu Wu saw the news, he looked like an old man on the subway in his previous life.

I don't understand it at all, I look very confused.

But he finally accepted it.

After all, you don’t understand if you don’t understand, but you still have to respect it! !

In this regard, the Minister of Finance reported to Liu Wu.

"Would we be able to mass-produce the caps and use them as coins?"

Then it was directly rejected by Liu Wu.

This thing is used as currency, it’s a real scam!

Don't let your canning business get screwed!

However, the Finance Minister was inspired by this and started the idea of ​​casting iron money.

To this end, he proposed a novel angle, which was to use steel to make coins.

In his explanation, steel is the best material used to make weapons, so steel money is more valuable than iron money.

He also proposed that the value of the steel money must be more valuable than itself.

Let the enemy collect a large amount of such coins, and then use your own manufacturing technology to manufacture them in large quantities to plunder the enemy's wealth.

But this kind of thing is actually very risky. After all, this is steel. The enemy will definitely use it to make weapons after getting it, which will in turn harm the soldiers of the Han army.

But the Finance Minister said, "We have more money because of this, and food and other supplies are no longer a dream."

At that time, with the expansion of our ordnance depot, the production of steel will inevitably continue to increase, and this thing will no longer be valuable. It is better to quickly plunder the enemy's wealth now. "

"If we can use steel money to plunder all the enemy's copper, silver, and gold, then the enemy will collapse!"

"In this case, if our Han army dominates the world in the future, we can use gold and silver to anchor the paper money proposed by the Great Sacrifice Wine."

After saying that, the finance minister took out a handout, and everyone in the Han army was thoughtful.

Finally, the Minister of Finance persuaded everyone, and with the help of the Ordnance Institute,

The Han army's first copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins had not yet come out, but the steel coins were the first to come out.

And this thing is indeed exquisite, not to mention that there is no need to worry about enemies copying it or making money.

Soon, this kind of coin was put on the market, especially in the case of bulk goods trade, the Han army would be the first to use this kind of coin.

Likewise, other merchants were willing to accept the coin.

Because it is made of fine steel, merchants can resell it to leaders of other forces.

Moreover, nowadays, anyone who can do big business is not the white glove of a big power.

So this kind of coin is very popular.

Yes, bestseller!

Can you believe that a kind of coin is selling well?

After just a few months, steel coins are almost as good as silver of equal weight.

Correspondingly, the prices of weapons on the market are also rising crazily, especially doped steel weapons. Although there are more and more of them, they are also becoming more and more expensive.

As for the Han army, they made a lot of money!

The Minister of Finance had a smile on his face.
