Chapter 232 Heaven-Defying Harvest, All Officials Shocked

"Your Majesty, today our Daqin's foreign trade, exports far exceed imports.

How about we re-melt the foreign copper coins exchanged by the merchants to survive this period of time?"

After thinking for a while, Feng Quji suggested.

Because foreign coins could not be used in Da Qin, merchants would exchange foreign currencies for Da Qin's half a tael after returning home.

Since the half-liang coins are of higher quality, the exchange ratio is basically above 1:1.5, and Daqin officials can still make a profit.

Of course, in neighboring countries, this ratio has already exceeded 1:2.

The surrounding countries liked Qin Banliang very much, which once again aggravated the Qin Dynasty's money shortage.

"It's possible, but it won't last long!"

"And in addition to coining money, many major projects also require large amounts of copper ingots!"

Nesten sighed.

Nowadays, construction in Daqin is booming, and the consumption of various materials is also huge.

Although steel production is gradually increasing, in many places, copper with better performance is still needed.

This put Nestern in a dilemma.

"Let's cast the part first, and wait for the prince to come back to discuss the rest!"

Ying Zheng made up his mind.

At this moment, Zhang Han rushed in with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory at Fuso!"

Seeing Zhang Han with such an excited expression, Ying Zheng and the officials couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Da Qin conquered Fusang Island, and victory was a matter of course.

Even if the speed is a little faster, Zhang Han won't be so excited, right?

There might be some unexpected surprises.

Ying Zheng quickly took the good news from Zhang Han and just glanced at it.

A joyful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Even with the determination to win the government, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay!"

"You are worthy of being my son, and worthy of being the crown prince of Great Qin."

"Now I, Da Qin, no longer have to worry about running out of money!"

Seeing Ying Zheng with a happy face, all the officials were itchy and curious.

Everyone wants to know what kind of news can make Zhang Han and His Majesty so excited?

And it also made Your Majesty feel that Da Qin will no longer have to worry about running out of money?

Could it be that there are a lot of gold and silver in this Fuso Island?

“Your Majesty, it’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together!”

Meng Yi said bravely.

"Haha, I'm so happy!"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then started to read:

"By the grace of my father, I have led the Great Qin Navy this time, and the journey has been extremely smooth, and we have successfully captured Fusang Island!"

"And several large gold, silver and copper mines were discovered on Fuso Island!"

"The largest copper mine among them has reserves of at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms!"

“As long as the personnel and equipment are in place, more than five million kilograms of copper can be mined every year!”

Ying Zheng's voice echoed in the Qilin Hall, and all the officials were completely stunned.

Nei Shiteng almost fainted.

Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of copper ore, what a terrifying reserve is this?

Five million kilograms can be mined every year. If all of them are minted into half a tael, that would be a full sixteen thousand jin!

This is a number that can drive everyone crazy!

Nowadays, commerce in Daqin is booming, and the commercial tax is much higher than the agricultural tax.

The revenue of the treasury was almost ten times higher than that of the same period last year, and the total revenue for the year was only over 20 million yuan.

And this Fuso Island is just a copper mine, which is almost equal to the total revenue of the national treasury.

No wonder Zhang Han was so excited, no wonder His Majesty's determination was shaken for a long time.

At this moment, all the officials in the Qilin Hall were completely unable to describe their feelings.

Just now they were still worrying about money matters.

But who would have thought that at this juncture, His Highness the Prince would directly throw out a huge mountain of money!

Many officials even calculate in their minds how long this copper mountain can be mined.

After doing the math, they almost fainted from shock.

Wang Jian, Meng Yi and others looked expectantly at Ying Zheng on the throne.

Because, Your Majesty seems to have only read half of it.

As usual, the real surprises are usually at the end!

Thinking of this, everyone took a breath of cold air.

They no longer dare to think about it any more.

The legendary Midas touch is not that exaggerated, right?

"Your Majesty, will there be other benefits later?"

At this time, the excitement on Nestern's face could no longer be suppressed.

As the Li Neishi of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was the most sympathetic to the Qian shortage.

"Of course there are, and there are many.

It's just that I have to be mentally prepared, don't faint like last time.

I don’t want to lose a loyal minister.”

Yingzheng was in a good mood and made an unprecedented joke in the Qilin Palace.

Now that he knows more about money than before, he naturally understands what so much gold, silver, and copper means to Da Qin?

This means that all projects in Daqin that cannot be carried out due to lack of money can be started.

This means that the construction project under construction can be accelerated again!

Not to mention too much, if the Grand Canal can be opened in advance, how much benefit can it bring to Daqin?

Ying Zheng never expected that a small Fusang Island could have so many resources.

You know, Fuso Island is just a drop in the ocean on the world map.

How many islands are there in the sea?

At this moment, Ying Zheng completely became a supporter of the great voyage.

Without going to sea and conquering Fuso Island, how could one obtain such astronomical amounts of money?

"Your Majesty, last time, I was too excited. This time, I am mentally prepared and will definitely not faint. Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Nesten's old face twitched. Last time he fell to the ground because of excessive excitement.

It has become the object of ridicule by Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Dun Ruo and others.

This time, he can't say anything like last time, otherwise his old face will really be disgraced.

"It doesn't matter, I'm standing behind you and I won't let you fall again!"

"No, there are still us!"

Meng Yi, Wang Jian and others also followed suit.

"Your Majesty, please stop being pretentious and read it quickly!"

Feng Quji spoke eagerly.

I don’t know when His Majesty got into the bad taste of selling people off, which is really worrying.

But he was the emperor, and they didn't dare to get angry.

It’s so uncomfortable!

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, I was in a trance just now. I almost thought I saw it wrong!"

Ying Zheng looked at the officials with resentful expressions and laughed loudly.

You should tell me quickly!

The officials were so anxious that they wanted to shout loudly, but they didn't dare.

He could only breathe heavily and stare at Ying Zheng with a smile on his face.

"In addition to the copper mine just now, a gold mine was also discovered on Fuso Island.

According to detection, the annual output of this gold mine can reach more than 50,000 kilograms, and it will be mined for at least 20 years!"

Ying Zheng said calmly, but a look of astonishment appeared on his face the next second.

Then the sound of "bang, bang, bang" came from the Qilin Hall!
