And he only planted 100 acres of cotton fields this year!

One hundred acres of land, the average cotton per acre of land, provided him with an income of nearly two cents!

With such high land output, there was only one place in the Song Dynasty, the vegetable gardens in Bianjing City.

And he now has a total of 600 acres of land, and if all cotton is planted next year.

This is the income of 1,200 jin per year!

One thousand two hundred coins!

Even in Bianjing City, it was a huge sum of money!

"I remember, my brother dreamed of marrying a county lord..."

"Now in the capital, the bride price of a county lord is only 2,000 guan..."

"In almost two years, you can earn the bride price of marrying a county lord!"

Unfortunately, his younger brother Wang Daqin had no news.

I don’t know what happened to him in Guangxi?

Are you still happy?

Thinking of this, Wang Dafu suddenly became melancholy.

He only had one younger brother, but his luck made people mess with each other, and he didn't even know his life or death.

Wang Dafu was so sad that Xiang Zongji lowered his voice and said to him: "By the way, Dafu!"

"Xiang, Gao, two uncles, will order the states to post notices so that the people will know that they will exchange new iron coins for old iron coins!"

"In the past, there were iron coins in the Xihe prefectures, and they could be exchanged at the government office."

"Our Nanguan Fort is also a place of exchange..."

"After the big axe returns, you can use new iron coins to purchase old iron coins from the public. After the government announces, you can transport them to Nanguan Fort..."

As he said that, Xiang Zongji took out a brand new iron coin and stuffed it into Wang Daxun's hand.

Wang Dafu knew as soon as he touched it, he knew that this was the iron coins that began to be issued on Xihe Road this year.

The weight and size of this kind of iron coins are the same as the old coins.

There is only one difference - it is not doped with impurities and can be melted directly into iron and then cast into agricultural tools, weapons, etc.

Therefore, this new iron coin became popular as soon as it appeared.

Both officials, people and employees are willing to accept and use it.

Not to mention the Tubo people and the Qiang people.

Wang Daxun touched the iron coins in his hand and looked at Xiang Zongji, his face full of incredible feelings.

This is something the government has never done before.

Growing up in Bianjing City, he was very familiar with the style of the Song Dynasty's government - it is okay for the government to take advantage of the people! It is not okay for the people to take advantage of the government!

Not to mention the other side, how many times have you changed the tea method?

Every time the reform was reformed, it was either because the tea merchants and the gardeners complained and refused to grow tea or buy tea, or the court felt that the yellow and orange copper coins were profitable by merchants and the gardeners, and they felt unbalanced, which led to the table.

When will the government be willing to suffer losses and make concessions to the people?

Xiang Zongji looked at Wang Dafu's expression and smiled and said, "This is the virtue of the current official family!"

"Today, I will be the most saint and kind-hearted person who is kind to the teachings of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness, and to pacify the people of the world, and to be kind to the world, which is the most saint and benevolent!"

As Xiang’s family, Xiang Zongji certainly knows the inside story.

The small officials in Bianjing City value the most credibility.

Especially on coins!

So, when the new iron coins come out this year, the Majesty already intends to trade the old for new in Xihe.

Use new iron coins to buy back old iron coins from the people.

However, due to various reasons, it was impossible to implement it, so I could only use both old and new iron coins.

Now, the time is finally ripe!

In the states of Xihe Road, there are at least tens of millions of iron coins that have been minted over the past decades!

The official has already made an order and repurchase all of them!

They also used these iron coins to redeem the people of the Qiang tribe with the Dangxiang people who were forced to be conscripted and raped.

In this way, the iron money of the court has become credible and the people will be happy to use it.

And the old iron coins were not wasted, they would pour into the Western thief country and push up the domestic prices of Western thief.

The most important thing is that these old iron coins can also bring a lot of labor to Xihe.

At the same time, we can also declare to the Qiang tribes that the emperor of the Song Dynasty has not forgotten them!

It can be said to be a win-win situation!

However, Xiang Zongji would not tell Wang Dafu about these things.

Wang Dafu listened and nodded relievedly.

Are the officials in Bianjing?

That is indeed a good official!

I heard that he loved the people as much as his son, and put the people's food and clothing first! Even in Xizhou, he heard about the reputation of this official family.

So, Wang Dafu said: "I understand! After I go back, I will go and collect the money."

This is to give him money.

Wang Dafu remembered that before he led his army to leave Nanguan Fort, the exchange ratio between the new and old money in Nanguan Fort was already three to one.

Only by three old coins can one be exchanged for a new coins.

But now the court wants to repurchase old private money, and it is a one-to-one exchange ratio.

This arbitrage space is unimaginable!

but……

Wang Dafu thought for a while and said to Xiang Zongji: "Secretary, I am a little stupid... So, I have a stupid idea... I am afraid of tainting the Secretary's ears..."

"Um?"

"I want to use the new money to exchange money with the employees in my field according to the laws of the court..."

"In this way, they will be more diligent..."

"Also, these people don't have much old money..."

Wang Dafu remembers his younger brother Daqiu. When he was resistant to bags in the pile yard in Bianjing City, his catchphrase that he often talked about was: how much money he gave and how much work he did!

Those employers who are squeezing wages will be deducted.

Then someone like his younger brother will immediately make this employer sinister.

They are also a bad life, and they are not afraid of fighting with those merchants wearing silk clothes.

Xiang Zongji listened and his eyes gradually lit up.

Then he looked at Wang Daxun and said, "Daxun, it's really my lucky general!"

"If there were no big axe, I would have almost lost my big one because of a small axe!"

"I must report this to my uncle immediately!"

The cotton farm in Xihe finally comes down to a layer of hired leather.

If you have this skin, you have to talk about eating patterns and make appropriate concessions to increase the enthusiasm and sense of belonging of employees.
