...

In the Governor's Office, Liu Ce sat on the main case, and the main cases on both sides were Song Lian and Mu Tiancheng. At this moment, the three of them were also discussing the future situation in the Far East.

Liu Ce put his head on one hand and said to Mu Tiancheng and Song Lian: "Two sirs, this time the military governor is helpless to take charge of the military and political affairs of Far East. When you have to rely on your two families in the future, I hope you don't refuse..."

Song Lian and Mu Tiancheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, please feel at ease. We will work closely with you..."

"Well..." Liu Ce responded, sat upright and said to Mu Tiancheng: "Mr. Mu, I want to discuss something with you. The military governor intends to set up two ship departments in Youzhou next year, specifically responsible for the construction of new sailing warships.

In this regard, this military governor’s experience is not as good as your Mu family. I would like to ask you for more advice at that time..."

"Sail-style ship?" Mu Tiancheng was stunned and asked immediately, "Can it be similar to the sailing ship like Dashi?"

Liu Ce said: "This military governor has never left the sea. I have never seen the big food ship that Lord Mu mentioned. However, since what Lord Mu mentioned, let's see if it is the same as what I said..."

After talking, Liu Ce took a thick roll of drawings from Xiao Yu who was accompanying him and spread them on the table.

"Mr. Mu, please check it out..."

After hearing what Liu Ce said, Mu Tiancheng, who had been starting out by sea transportation, immediately became interested and came to Liu Ce's case.

Unexpectedly, when he looked, his eyes widened and he said to Liu Ce with disbelief: "Mr. Military Governor, have you really never come out of the sea? How was this drawing designed?"

The warship designed on Liu Ce's drawings is extremely large, with a length of 76 meters in front and back. The cabin is divided into five floors, which are used for the rooms for stockpiling goods and resting by sailors, and can accommodate at least 800 people.

What's more important is that the masts of this ship are all made of white canvas, which are extremely huge and are more advanced overall than those of the Dashi ship.

But the "windows" on both sides of the cabin are of unknown purpose.

"Can it be made?" Liu Ce ignored Mu Tiancheng's surprise and asked in a deep voice, "There are many craftsmen under the rule of this military governor, and there are many skilled craftsmen, but they still lack understanding of ships, so the military governor wants to discuss with Lord Mu,

This military governor knows that Lord Mu has many capable people in the construction of ships, so please don’t refuse and work together sincerely..."

Mu Tiancheng was silent for a moment and bowed and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Military Commander, the most important thing about this kind of warship is design. It is not difficult to cultivate a group of ship craftsmen. You can have a skilled craftsman who are willing to endure hardships in three to five years. Are you really willing to take out this drawing and share it with your subordinates?"

Liu Ce said: "Mr. Mu, this is the sincerity of this military governor who wants to cooperate with the Mu family. Of course, this is only part of it.

If Lord Mu believed in the character of this military governor, he would have started recruiting craftsmen and the Military Governor's Office to establish the Ship Department earlier. I believe that Lord Mu should understand the meaning of this military governor..."

Mu Tiancheng was stunned. He never expected that Liu Ce's ambition and gaze were so long, and he was not confused by the power he had in front of him. He had already begun to make strategic plans for the ocean.

Mu Tiancheng is not a fool, he knows that once the behemoth in the drawings comes out, it will never be used for trade, but will definitely be used to expand territory.

"Okay, the Japanese have been controlling the sea route for too long. If a powerful fleet breaks this situation, the benefits they can obtain will definitely be immeasurable. Just follow Liu Ce to take a gamble!"

Thinking of this, Mu Tiancheng made a quick decision and bowed to Liu Ce and said, "Since the Hou of Hanling trusts the officials, the officials will definitely cooperate with the Military Governor's Office sincerely..."

"Smart people..."

Liu Ce nodded with satisfaction, and admired Mu Tiancheng's determination so quickly. This is a courageous head of a noble family, worthy of long-term cooperation with him.

After handing the drawings to Mu Tiancheng, Liu Ce turned his head to Song Lian, took out ten copper coins, folded them into rows and put them on the table and said to him: "Mr. Song, these are the coins collected by this military governor in various parts of the Far East these days. Please check it out..."

When Song Lian heard this, he bowed his hand, then stepped forward to take the coins and looked carefully, and couldn't help but frown.

"These coins are too inferior, too much lead is filled, and their weight and shape are different. They belong to the category of bad coins, and at least seven of these ten coins cannot be used..."

Song Lian quickly analyzed the disadvantages of these coins and couldn't help but throw one of the coins on the ground. The moment the coins landed, they immediately shattered and splashed.

Liu Ce nodded and said, "The military governor does not intend to let it circulate on the market anymore. Not only these, but the other currencies with good quality are also gradually abandoned, so..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ce deliberately paused, and his pair of tiger eyes suddenly appeared.

Song Lian was shocked and immediately thought of what Liu Ce wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to recast the currency? That was a death sentence of great rebellion...

As if seeing through what Song Lian was thinking, Liu Ce said another terrifying sentence indifferently.

"The Great Zhou has been exhausted. This military governor has tried to turn the tide, but he can't defeat the fixed number in the end..."

Song Lian and Mu Tiancheng were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat. They stood up and looked out of the Governor's Office. They were relieved after confirming that there was no one else.

Liu Ce looked at their appearance and sneered, "Two sirs, what I am talking about is the truth. Although Gaomi was defeated, the Central Plains was already in a mess.

I believe it will be even more chaotic in the future. You should also find a way out for yourself and not be buried with this corrupt dynasty..."

Although Liu Ce's words were blunt and explicit, after the two calmed down, they had to admit that what he said was very accurate.

Although the God Capital was restored, Gao Mi's son Gao Xiang still led the remnants to fight to the death with the coalition forces of major families in Shengzhou, and it was difficult to distinguish. From this point of view alone, the decline of the Great Zhou court has become an inevitable situation, and the situation of warlord separatism has formed...

"We will follow the arrangements of the Hanling Marquis..."

Song Lian and Mu Tiancheng were both smart people, so they immediately decided to embrace Liu Ce and bow down to him together.

Liu Ce smiled casually: "Two sirs, let's get up first. We haven't finished talking about this currency yet..."

After the two got up and returned to their seats, Liu Ce continued to say to Song Lian: "Mr. Song, you are right. This military governor really wants to reminisce coins and put well-minted currencies into the market to eliminate all the currencies in circulation.

Not only will the current copper coins be eliminated, but the silver used in the future will be unified in the form of new coins. In the future, all currencies circulating in the Far East market must be subject to new coins..."

Song Lian said: "Mr. Military Governor, this is not bad. Some remote families often mint coins privately to obtain huge profits. But if you want to make excellent coins, the fire consumption level is a big deal.

I guess the currency to be put into the market this time is not hundreds or thousands, it must be a large amount of investment, so the officials are worried..."

"Someone will solve the problem of fire consumption for us..." Liu Ce disagreed. "Do you remember the bad guys of the Duwei Mansion and the Security Department had wiped out several black dens in Yuanzhou City a few days ago? The stolen silver obtained from it reached more than 57 million taels,

Of course, these silvers have been confiscated and most of them have been used for the construction of various provinces in the Far East. What this military governor wants to say is that where did such a large amount of silver come from such a group of people in the world?

It happened that after killing several leaders, the people from the Jing Department obtained a list of officials and gentry from various families in the Far East, with more than a thousand people involved in the case.

Almost all the well-known people in the Far East have been involved. What should you do about this? The reason why the military governor did not take action is that it can be big or small.

Big Dog directly confiscate the house and ask for guilt, but small Dog must use money to forgive the crime. The money consumed by fire is naturally taken from them. Could it be that it will be added to the people?"

Song Lian and Mu Tiancheng looked at each other. To be honest, they also participated in the dark side of money laundering. Although the amount was not large, it was embarrassing to fall into Liu Ce's hands.

Liu Ce glanced at the two of them and continued, "Don't worry, the stains of the two adults have been destroyed.

You are all innocent. After all, your salary is short and there is another family who needs to eat. This military governor understands your feelings of opening up your wealth..."

"What the Governor said is very..."

Since Liu Ce gave the steps, the two old foxes naturally took advantage of the donkey and were tacit about each other.

Liu Ce continued: "The problem of fire consumption has been solved, so it's time to talk about coin minting..."

Liu Ce took out ten brand new copper coins and handed them to Song Lian and said, "Mr. Song, look at these new coins?"

Song Lian took the copper coins from Liu Ce. As soon as he started, he felt heavy and the shaking sound was very pleasant. He knew that this was minted by the best brass, and it was definitely not comparable to the bad money just now.

After he carefully observed, he found that the appearance was exquisite, with the words "Hanling Tongbao" printed on the front, and the reverse was "five grams per coin". More importantly, each copper coin was almost the same weight, which made Song Lian praise it...

After a long time, Song Lian sighed sincerely: "This kind of copper coin can be used as two or three best copper coins circulated on the market. It is really exquisite..."

Liu Ce smiled and said, "Mr. Song, my military admiral plans to set up two mints near the suburbs of Yuanzhou. How about you be the head?"

Song Lian was shocked. He never expected that Liu Ce would throw such a large piece of cake on his head. After a long time, he didn't come back to his senses, which made Mu Tiancheng on the other side feel very jealous.

"Mr. Song, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Marquis of Hanling. The minister must do his best to mint exquisite coins to benefit the people of the Far East!"

There was no need for Song Lian to behave himself anymore, so he agreed immediately, and at the same time he was glad that the greatest achievement he had made in his life was to accept Song Yanran as his daughter, and this time he did not bet on the wrong treasure.

Liu Ce said with a smile: "In a few days, our military governor will send the coin molds and copper materials mined from Liaodong, and the formula will be handed over to you. The first plan is to cast 600 million pieces and put them on the market for a try..."

After Liu Ce finished coin minting, Zhuge Zhi walked into the office and bowed to Liu Ce and said, "Mr. Military Supervisor, the three students who were requested by the outside of the office have arrived outside of the office. Should they be invited in?"

Liu Ce nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, let them come in..."

"As for orders..."

Zhuge Zhi responded and turned around and walked out the door.
