Le Chi began to direct the topic to his job: "This time we all saw the power of Xingzi's Hu clothing and riding and shooting, and Su Lao, who was opposed in the army, no longer opposed it, so please preside over the military reform."

The performance of these cavalry this time was really eye-catching. He allowed the whole world to see the power of a new army. Especially the flexible tactics and fast maneuverability were simply amazing. Therefore, even if it is conservative, it has to be admitted that not developing cavalry would lead to self-destruction.

But changing an ancient military service to a single one is a big move, and the cavalry's money burning also discouraged many people.

A chariot and two horses are only 20,000 horses in a country with ten thousand chariots. Like Zhongshan and Chu, most of them are cattle. But they can form an army of millions. But they can only form 20,000 cavalry at most.

The equipment and consumption of these 20,000 cavalrymen can be equivalent to 100,000 chariots and soldiers. There is another key. Horses driving chariots can cultivate land without war and can do many other things. But war horses must be carefully fed without war. Do you want them to cultivate the land and try it? Then fly.

After Zhao Xing's three gamblings, the Zhao State had already implemented the reform of Hu's clothing, riding and shooting, with the goal of 50,000 cavalry. As a result, just formed 20,000, the Zhao State could no longer bear it.

"We must also promote the sale of bad luck. In the establishment of the army, we must not fall behind other princes."

Queen Mother Zhao poured cold water: "Selling iron by smashing a pot means you have to have a pot. Now you don't even have a pot, so what are you smashing?"

Zhao Yong was embarrassed.

Since returning to China, my father first mobilized, and then mobilized the whole country to deal with Tu Zhao, the five countries, recruited 400,000 troops, then his ascension to the throne, and then he dealt with the domestic rebellion and the war between Qin and Wei Gongzijie. In the past three years, he has not stopped, and no matter how rich his family's wealth is, he can't stand it.

Zhao Xing stood up and bowed to Zhao Yong: "The reform of the military system must be carried out. For this reason, please allow me to mint coins."

Everyone was completely confused. Military system reform is necessary, but it has nothing to do with your right to mint coins. What is this and what is it.

Zhao State prospered because of war, and developed commerce because of prosperity. There are many places to mint coins because of developed commerce. The first is the Jinyang coin minting area, the second is the Handan coin minting area, the third is the future Zhongshan, and the fourth is the future Yanmen. The coins minted are of different styles and are deeply loved by collectors.

But no matter how the government starts the machine to mint coins, it will not be supplied to the market. Therefore, it can only be shared by currency and cloth. In addition, bartering actually limits the continued development of commerce. Another point is that the amount of bronze ware in ancient times is large, and the government minting coins is bronze. Everyone turns all the money that the government minted with hard work and re-mints the utensils. This is equivalent to minting hard while minting without money. Nothing can be done, which makes everyone very troubled.

Zhao Yong smiled and pointed at Zhao Xing and said, "Is the teacher's family rich enough to that extent? Can you apply for coin minting?"

Zhao Yong said this because in this era, coins were minted, so even if the country did not have the right to mint coins, private people were just in an emergency, and no one was willing to do the money.

However, the reason why coins lost money in ancient times was the use of melt casting method. Each melt casting required 30% of the loss, which was called fire consumption. Coins were more labor-intensive and required model casting, casting, cutting, grinding, and more than a dozen processes. Each process had losses, and each process had to be artificial. Although people did not have to pay wages for slaves, slaves also had to eat and drink.

Zhao Xing smiled: "As long as the monarch allows me to mint coins, I can make more and more money in the market, develop commerce, increase taxes, and have taxes, and of course the country can implement military and military aggression."

"I promise you this, but the coins are minted. When my master's wife, who is jealous of money, chases you with a stick, don't hide in the palace."

Zhao Xing's family has a tiger known to everyone. Zhao Xing is afraid that his wife will be heard by the world, so he has become a joke for everyone after dinner. Now, Zhao Xing's tea has become the favorite of noble scholars. Drinking tea after dinner and chatting has become a great enjoyment in life.

Zhao Xing said proudly: "As long as you promise me to mint coins, I will make a lot of money for my wife, so how could he chase me? It's too late to hurt me."

Zhao Xing was teased by others and was afraid of his wife. Instead of being ashamed of him, he was proud of his honor.

When he said this, everyone shook their heads and refused to believe it.

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "As long as the country gives me every pound of copper, I will give the country thirty-two and a half taels of ounces of copper, how about it?"

Fei Yi laughed and pointed at Zhao Xing, the fool: "So, for every pound of money you cast, you will have at least ten coins. Xingzi is so rich." Then he quickly nailed it to death: "This matter is settled. Xingzi is a gentleman, and a gentleman must never regret it. I will allocate you 50,000 kilograms of copper, and wait for Xingzi to return 1.6 million yuan to the national treasury."

Zhao Yong couldn't bear it: "I appreciate it because the teacher would rather break the family for me. Let's do this. According to the rules, 800,000 yuan is enough."

The price at that time was three cents for a dou of wheat. You read that right, it was three cents. At that time, the Zhao State in the Warring States Period was ten liters equal to one dou, and ten liters mean one hundred liters, which is equal to one hu. One hu of forty kilograms, and the current 64 kilograms (I checked the information and found that guy was wrong). It was three hundred cents. I bought sixty-four kilograms of wheat. Do you think the money was worth the money in this era? The reason for the money was too little. Therefore, no matter how much Zhao Xing cast it, it would definitely not cause inflation.

Eighty-hundred thousand coins and two thousand seven hundred hu can be counted as the current 180,000 kilograms of wheat.

Zhao Xing thanked the king for his compassion, and then smiled and said, "Let me do this, give me 100,000 kilograms of copper, and I will hand over 3.4 million yuan."

"I am moved by the teacher's heart. Let's do it, just three million yuan."

Finally, Zhao Xing stopped Zhao Yong: "This matter is settled. I will take Bronze away when I go back this time. When I come back for the New Year, I will hand over 3.5 million yuan."

This is a strange thing. This master and apprentice really talks about the price.

Fei Yi was nailed to death: "But half a tael of money is enough."

"Full amount, but not our popular cloth money, but square money."

Everyone has become accustomed to Zhao Xing: "I don't care what shape you have in your money. As long as it is recognized by the merchants, it is money. This matter is decided." Fei Yi waved his hand indifferently and decided.

The reform to release slaves has begun, but it is not a harsh expression, but a gentle drizzle, so that everyone can look at it and see it, so that those who are willing to follow can follow it; those who are unwilling to follow can sell the slaves in their hands, so that your family's income and expenditure will not be delayed.

As for those who resist, let’s go down. The king of the world has the largest king, which is the king’s decree. The king has the largest military power in the world, and the 30,000 cavalry that has been reorganized are eyeing it.

The most terrifying thing is that the eight major families of Zhao have announced that they will spare no effort to support the reform of the monarch. The empress dowager's benevolence first and Zhao Xing's successful demonstration made even the most conservative lords have to consider it.

The second reform - the army, now everyone can only wait for Zhao Xing's minting to be transported to the national treasury. After the military reform, it became the most expensive expenditure of Zhao State, because Zhao State was preparing to reorganize the military, and more importantly, the conscription system with its own dry food weapons that had been adapted for thousands of years. After the reform, the people only needed to collect money and no longer had to go to war. They had to use money to buy soldiers who were raised by the state to fight for the country. In other words, Zhao Xing's reform was from the recruitment system to cross the government system and the military household system, and directly moved to the professional mercenary system. This is the real reform, a leapfrog reform, and a great money-burning reform.

From then on, everyone saw the huge combat power of professional troops, and then countries began to follow the examples. Then, the national strength of various countries began to spread distance. If you are in a state of war, you will have the money to burn.

Arms race? Come and try it, it won’t drag you down.
