Li Jing carefully calculated the calculations and if he used the ratio of mint coins of 6, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Using the new sand casting process, the production capacity of coin craftsmen has increased by nearly three times, and they can produce consistent money in an average of one day.

In this way, the cost of the materials of the craftsman is 600 cents, the wages of the craftsman are about 80 cents, and other expenses such as charcoal are used, the cost of the charcoal is controlled below 700 cents, and the cost of the charcoal is at least 300 cents.

"If this is really possible, the cost will not be 700 cents." Du Zhongwu raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "We don't need money to mine now, and we don't have to pay taxes. All we need is the labor money for mining."

Zhang Hong also became active all of a sudden: "Carbon money can be saved half of it. This time, we can find several coal mines. We can use coal instead of charcoal to save a lot."

"If this is the case, then there is still a profit to mint money." Li Zhen also smiled.

"Then build a hundred coin minting furnaces first!" Li Jing said directly. Since you want to do it, then make it bigger. Originally, a coin minting furnace could produce 3,300 jin a year, but now after the new process, the annual output can reach 10,000 jin. One hundred coin minting furnaces can cast one million coins a year. If copper lead and tin are mined by themselves, and coal is used to replace charcoal, and artificial output increases, then the labor cost of mining and coin minting will be eliminated. The material cost does not need to be spent at all. In this way, the integration of mining and coin minting can make nearly one million jin a year.

"Where do we go to find so many mining workers?" Guo Chengan asked.

According to the new process standards, a furnace costs 10,000 jin, a total of 64,000 jin. It costs more than 38,000 jin of copper, 16,000 jin of lead, and 9,600 jin of tin. One hundred furnaces will cost nearly 4 million jin of copper, more than 1.6 million jin of lead, and more than 900,000 jin of tin. This is not a small number. The mining technology at this time is not high, so much copper, tin and lead is needed, so the mining workers needed will be a huge number.

In addition, coal mines need to be mined, and Li Jing had previously proposed to mine iron ore, which required a large number of manpower. If the sulfur ore mining plan, oil mining plan and limestone mining plan are added, this will take a lot of manpower.

"Use refugees!" After thinking about it, if all these mining plans were launched, even 100,000 workers could accommodate them. Moreover, using refugees was the result of Li Jing's consideration for several days. These days, Dengzhou's labor-for-relief has become popular, and the surrounding Laizhou and Qingzhou have also known it, and even Haizhou, Mizhou, and Mizhou, etc. are even further apart.

Although the people in Dengzhou have a port, although the situation is much better than that of some people in the mainland. The people in Dengzhou can't survive, so the people in other places are even more serious.

These days, Dengzhou Governor Li Jing borrowed rain from the Dragon King, and the Dragon King's kindness, Li Jing opened warehouses and released grain, and labor-for-relief. The hungry people from all over the world were already red when they heard that Dengzhou's people could have food. In addition, the local governments and wealthy families were also afraid of these hungry people who gathered more and more. At this time, they also took the opportunity to spread the benefits of Dengzhou everywhere. Dengzhou seemed to be the last pure land in the world.

As a result, the hungry people all believed that as long as they arrived in Dengzhou, they would no longer have to worry about having no food to eat.

The hungry people in several nearby states are now heading towards Dengzhou one after another, and the distance is close to it. The documents from the county magistrates of Huangxian and Dongmu County have been sent desperately. Thousands of hungry people have poured in, making them a little at a loss. They have some food in Dengzhou, but there is also a lot of food in Dengzhou. If they don’t help, it seems that it’s not good, so in the end, they have to push all the difficult problems to Li Jing.

Li Jing is worried about this problem now. Dengzhou uses labor instead of relief to help the people, and is also preparing for the resumption of production next year. Now these outsiders are pouring in and asking them to repair water conservancy, etc., which is not very suitable.

It is impossible not to save the person when he dies, but how to help him is also a problem.

Now, these hungry people are recruited to mine. In this way, they not only help the people, but also solve the labor problem of mining. Even because of hungry people, the cost can be reduced.

Guo Chengan said with some concern: "I'm afraid that if this case starts, we will not be able to bear it when the disaster victims from all sides come in."

Now, the border between Moudong County and Laizhou has not received Li Jing's reply, so they have set up wooden walls on the border roads, and two battalions are stationed at the border to intercept disaster victims.

Li Jing pondered for a moment, and Guo Cheng'an's concerns were not unreasonable. If the hungry people came, it was indeed a big problem. However, after thinking about it, Li Jing still said: "We are on the shore of the East China Sea, and now we only have the border with Laizhou, and the other three sides are seas. Even if the hungry people are coming, it is not so easy to come. Besides, we are preparing to start a mine, and even if the refugees come, they don't have to worry too much. Most of them can be sent to the mine to mine, and some fishermen can be drawn to fish. Now we still have a lot of food, and the sales of diverse commodities are optimistic. I am not afraid of raising some refugees. If there are too many people, we can also move them to Liaodong to hoard fields and develop. Henan and Shandong have a severe drought, and Liaodong is not dry. Now we can just plant a season of soybeans. When autumn comes, we can also plant a kind of winter wheat."

When the others saw that Li Jing had an idea, they thought about it carefully and thought that such an arrangement was OK. At the moment, famine was just right to take this opportunity to get a group of people. The population sometimes seemed a burden, but the population was also a sign of a strong town. Especially in Liaodong, Qingnicheng and Beishacheng occupied almost two large areas of Dengzhou, but not much land was reclaimed. A group of people were relocated to hoard land or grazing, and even if they could not see any profit within one or two years, there was no need to be afraid.

Things settled, and Li Jing personally took people to the border road between Huangxian and Laizhou, and set up a recruitment list. It was announced that workers were being recruited at the mines in Dengzhou. Those who were willing to work not only had three meals a day, but also had a salary of fifty cents a day, plus five dou of grain per month. Once this condition was announced, those hungry people who were gathering on the border and were unable to enter Dengzhou because of the previous blocking of the Zhendong Army. All their eyes were shining.

These days, the East Army of Zhen did not allow them to enter Dengzhou, but at least they still put porridge every day, and each person could drink two bowls of porridge a day. But how can they eat enough for two bowls of porridge? Now there are such good conditions. Although many people know that working in the mine is hard, they have to go for five dou of grain every month, not to mention that three meals a day are also included, plus fifty cents. It is harder to not only eat enough for themselves, but also the whole family can go with it. They can save some wild vegetables and keep it over.

"I'm going!"

"I'll go!"

"Count me!"

......

Suddenly, countless people signed up one after another, and some even children in their teens rushed to sign up. Li Jing asked someone to register his names, and then directly asked the foreman in the newly arranged mine to lead the people. First, they picked out those strong and young people, and then their families could take them together. With a thousand people, they immediately took them back to the mine. Over the whole day, they picked more than 10,000 strong workers, and with their families, they took away fifty or sixty thousand.

But there were tens of thousands of people left, and Li Jing couldn't help but sigh. In addition to these people, there were still a steady stream of hungry people coming. Those who were too weak did not arrange for them to go to the mine. It was useless to go there, so he arranged them to the construction sites of each county and the workshops, and arranged whatever they could do. The remaining ones were slightly better. Those who were taking their families were going to Liaodong to let them stock up on the land. The government would lend them tools and rations first to let them reclaim the land.

After staying on the border of Laizhou for ten days, Li Jing returned to Dengzhou. In ten days, more than 50,000 miners had been recruited in more than 30 mines of all sizes. Including their families, as many as 120,000 hungry people had been resettled to the mines. In addition, there were tens of thousands of hungry people left in Dengzhou, and there were more than 10,000 households and 50,000 to reclaim land. Together, as many as 200,000 hungry people who flocked to Dengzhou this time.

Now that the wave of refugees has just entered, at least half of the hungry people from nearby states have poured into Dengzhou. Li Jing knew that in a few days, more refugees will definitely flow in.

However, with the influx of these 200,000 refugees, more than 30 mines in Dengzhou and Liaodong have officially started mining, and the newly built 100 coin furnaces have also been cast, and more than 10,000 newly recruited craftsmen have officially started to cast coins. One hundred coin furnaces have begun to cast coins, and the amount of copper, lead, tin, coal consumed every day is huge, but copper coins are also flowing out day and night.

Every day, nearly 3,000 guan coins, as many as several million coins! With the minting of these coins, Li Jing ordered the expansion of the money shop. Ten new money shops were built in the controlled areas of Dengzhou and Liaodong, and the printing factory there also began to print a new batch of banknotes and issue them within the jurisdiction of Zhendongjun. This time, because there was a million coins in a year, Li Jing directly issued two million banknotes.

The Dengzhou Mint mint was minted with Kaiyuan Tongbao day and night, while the printing factory on Shamen Island printed money day and night. With the expansion of the money shop and the expansion of the issuance of banknotes, the salaries of all officials and soldiers in Dengzhou, Liaodong Qingnicheng and Beishancheng under the jurisdiction of Zhendong Army were 40% of the grain, 30% of the banknotes, 20% of the silk and 10% of the copper coins. Li Jing specifically stipulated that for transactions of more than ten cents of the money, banknotes must be traded, and copper coins are prohibited, and private transactions are prohibited. Once discovered, the property of the house is immediately confiscated. It is even more prohibited to privately cast copper coins. It is found that privately cast copper coins not only have to confiscate their property, but also have to be imposed on labor reform in Liaodong.

It is also specifically stipulated that except for the Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is newly minted and issued by Zhendongjun, other copper coins are exchanged for new coins within one month. Ordinary people are not allowed to deposit more than 100,000 copper coins in their homes, that is, copper coins of more than 100,000 yuan, and merchants are not allowed to deposit more than 1,000 yuan of copper coins. If there is more than 1,000 yuan, it must be deposited into the Sihai Money House for banknotes. Once the violators are investigated and punished, they will be fined twice the amount of copper coins.

Once these regulations were issued, the copper coins and large copper ware stored in the hands of the people of Dengzhou had to hand over to Sihai Money House and exchanged them for banknotes. Even those merchants had to find money in the shops to a certain amount, and they had to go to the money house to find them for banknotes.

Sihai Money House melted all the old coins and large copperware collected and then minted them into new coins. Because there is a character for Zhen on the back of the new coins, it is called Zhenjun coins by the people.
