Deng Tingzhen also praised Yi Shizuo's complaints. He was only twenty years old and was successful in his youth. He not only controlled a huge amount of silver, but also was highly valued by a group of Guangzhou officials. After such a thing, he was completely reasonable, but did not complain or ask them for help, but compromised. It was really rare. The business protection group was in control in his hands, so you can rest assured. ∈‍♀

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "How many dragon yuan has the mint been stockpiled?"

"It's less than 100,000." Yi Zhizu said: "It will take a large number of machines to be shipped in this peak season before they can be cast in large quantities, and it is expected to be launched next year."

Next year, Deng Tingzhen was quite disappointed. He couldn't wait. After a slight salute, he said, "Can't you publish it while casting?"

Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Now there are many silver dollars circulating on the market, with different weights, sizes and colors. I don't want the silver dollars launched by Yuanqi to just add a new currency to the market, but to monopolize the dominance! Let the entire Guangdong only circulate the dragon dollar, so that the goal of driving away the Yang Yuan is to achieve the goal of saving a certain amount of Long Yang, which requires a certain amount of Long Yang, and it is estimated that it will cost at least 10 million to start launching."

Yiliang asked quickly: "Ten million? Can you cast ten million next year?"

"No problem." Yi Zhizu said affirmatively.

Deng Tingzhen knew only about the issuance and circulation of coins. He heard what he said was reasonable and did not dare to urge him to be eager for success. He pondered a little. He changed the topic and said: "The machine silk reeling factory recruits female workers. Although there are many people, it is not enough to cause trouble. However, the Changle Machine Factory is all male workers and most of them are young and strong. If you gather, you will easily hide traitors. In particular, you need to be careful of the gang developing congregations in the factory."

"The master reminds you," Yi Zhizu bowed slightly and said, "I think that although the machine wire reeling factory is a female worker, I dare not neglect and slack off. Since I opened the factory, I have been thinking about how to prevent the infiltration of the gang. There is no proper way at present, so I can only publicly prohibit it on the surface, secretly insert my eyes and ears, and inquire at any time. Once I find the gang congregation, I will expel it and never hire it."

Seeing that he was considerate, Deng Tingzhen nodded without saying a word. He was not very worried about Changle Machine Factory. After all, Yuan Qi paid a high wage, and most craftsmen cherished the opportunity to enter the factory very much.

Seeing that the two of them stopped asking, Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The route of the Foshan-Guangzhou Railway has been surveyed and has been preliminarily decided. All the investigation matters have been completed. In May and June this year, ground will be broken. All the railway tracks are ordered from Citigroup, and the construction cost is very high. Once the inspection is passed, they will inevitably be continuously built. The railway tracks cannot rely on foreign countries.

Since last year, I have been checking the county annals of Guangdong and Guangxi prefectures in detail. According to the Changhua County Annals of Qiongzhou Prefecture, Shilu has copper mines. I hired a group of craftsmen to explore. The news sent back said that there were not many copper mines, but there were large and high-quality iron ore, which was just inconvenient to transport. I guess the railway was built, so I wanted to go and inspect it myself. If there were really large and high-quality iron ore, the cost of railways would be greatly reduced in the future."

Changhua County, Qiongzhou Prefecture? Yi Liang was stunned. Is that the place to train horse gangs chosen by Yi Zhizu? Is there really an iron ore, or is it an excuse that Yi Zhizu wanted to see the training situation of the horse gang? He was very concerned about training horse gangs to pilot planting crows in tea and horse trade roads in vassal states. Of course, if Shilu really has large high-quality iron ore, this means another tax for Guangdong, which is also a great thing for Guangdong.

Deng Tingzhen was attracted by the significant reduction in the cost of the railway and asked quickly: "Be serious?"

Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "It's true that there is an iron ore, but it depends on how long the railway will be built?" After a pause, he continued, "Now the imperial court's ban on iron ore has been lifted, right?"

"Apart from gold and silver mines, all other mine bans have been lifted." Yiliang hurriedly said: "The emperor also issued a clear edict for this, 'Since ancient times, the way to make the country lies in the people, and those who have not had enough people but lack the country... The natural benefits of heaven and earth were originally for the use of all people." As he said that, he looked at Deng Tingzhen and said: "It seems that there is another edict that the ministers of the ministry can remember?"

Deng Tingzhen smiled and continued: "...the mining operation, with the benefits of heaven and earth, returns to the world, and still keeps riches from the people..."

Daoguang is still open in this way? Yi Zhizu was surprised and asked quickly: "Will the specific mining be run by the official? Commercial? Or joint operation of the official? "

"Commercial!" Deng Tingzhen and Yiliang said in unexpectedly. Both of them knew that the government-run joint operation was not as good as the commercial operation. Although the commercial operation was a little bit of a loss, it was easy to worry and just check the cash. Besides, the investment in mining was not a small matter. In Changhua County, transportation was inconvenient and railway construction would cost much money. The vassal treasury did not have that much money.

The two of them said in unison that the business office was in unison, and Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "How much is the business office cost?"

"The court has a system." Deng Tingzhen said: "The value of minerals is based on the severity of the tax rules. Coal and iron are the cheapest, and they are worth 5 per cent."

This is not an ordinary cheap. It seems that the imperial court is still in a very rough mode of management of minerals. After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will make a little preparation and go to Changhua soon."

Deng Tingzhen said: "How long does it take to go to contentment?"

"It won't be too long after about three months." Yi Zhizu said: "We have to come back before the peak sea trade season."

After pondering for a while, Deng Tingzhen said: "Most of the merchant ships in Citigroup will arrive before the peak sea trade season..."

"Don't worry, sir." Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "I will arrange something for you. When Western artillery arrives, you will unload and place the goods directly at Humen. Before leaving, I will go to Humen to visit the military gate."

After leaving the signing house, he was content but felt relaxed. When he went to Basu, he not only avoided Lin Zexu's three fires, but also legitimately developed Shilu Iron Mine. Shilu is a super-large open-pit iron ore. He never thought of secretly mining. He wanted to build a railway port to transport ore to export it. How could he be secretly?

After leaving the Governor's Office, Yi Zhizu took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already noon. Li Wang came up with the sedan chair and said respectfully: "Young Master, where are we going?" After getting into the sedan chair, Yi Zhizu said: "Go to Henan."

Yi Zhizu went to Henan Island without rushing to Yixue, but went to Changle Machinery Manufacturing Factory. After the Mint was located in Changle Factory, the factory's system and safety protection became stricter, and along the way, you can see the factory guard team members wearing black jackets.
