Chapter 140: Is It Time to Build a Nation?

Jiang Wei did not agree with Fang Xuanling's words. He really didn't want to enter the troubled waters of the court.

The history of playing politics has a history of thousands of years, and how many bullish people have been played with in politics and doubted their lives? What's more, he's a rookie?

"Needless to say, it is impossible for our Xianmen to enter the court."

After Jiang Wei refused without any room this time, His Majesty Fang Xuanling and Li Er stopped persuading.

At the beginning, His Majesty Li Er turned the topic to the issue of inflation, wanting to see if Jiang Wei had a way.

Jiang Wei put forward a suggestion in this regard, that is, to open up sea trade and encourage going to sea.

His Majesty Li Er and the others did not respond immediately and clearly. In this regard, Jiang Weike is very sure and fully prepared.

After His Majesty Li Er left, Jiang Wei immediately asked people to call Li De's hair Xiao Li Shun. Li Shun was originally a caretaker of TNT at first, but this task was entrusted to someone else. As early as when Jiang Wei set the strategy of inflation, he asked Li Shun to build a textile factory according to the situation.

Not long after the leakage of the textile machine, Jiang Wei used 100,000 yuan of funds to let Li Shun organize a large number of textile factories in the north and south of the river. And Li Shun is sitting at the headquarters of the textile factory in Yunling Village.

When Li Shun came, Jiang Wei couldn't wait to ask,

"How many textile mills are there now?"

As Li De's hair, Li Shun regarded Jiang Wei as an idol and replied respectfully,

"Childe, there are seven textile factories in the Sichuan Basin, twelve in Jiangnan, three in Guanzhong, and eight in the coastal areas, a total of 30 textile factories and more than 30,000 employees."

After Li Shun finished speaking, he said weakly,

"Childe, now the silk and silk cloth are no longer available, and they are piled up in the warehouse, if they are sold cheaply, they will not be able to make ends meet."

At the beginning, when Jiang Wei handed over this idea to Li Shun, he was really happy at that time. I didn't expect this to be the case with the plot now, and a few months ago, he had already asked people to report the situation. But at this time, Jiang Wei handed all this over to Song Cen Yue to deal with. At that time, Song Cen Yue also asked him not to stop. So far, he has gradually become confused? I don't know what Jiang Wei wants to do?

"You don't have to worry about that."

Jiang Wei smiled and patted Li Shun's shoulder.

"If you don't have enough money? Ask me for it. ”

"Childe..."

Li Shun nodded weakly,

"Since Childe said so? Then I'll do as Childe instructs. Just before? Li Shun wants to say that the loss will be very serious if it continues like this. ”

Jiang Wei smiled? Said

"Reassured? It was all in my sight to come. ”

Li Shun saw Jiang Wei full of confidence? Not worried at all, he thought of the magic of Jiang Wei's hope. It's just that he really can't understand that in this situation where there are more and more cloth silk silk, it continues to be produced? How can it be possible not to lose money if it goes on like this?

Jiang Wei consulted about the situation of these 30 factories again? Let Li Shun continue to be busy.

These 30 factories can be described as a lifesaver for ordinary people. This is also a way for Jiang Wei to compensate ordinary people. In this case, many bankrupt people have joined the factory, which can be regarded as making up for the severity of the disaster to a certain extent.

But is it not just that that silk and silk are wreaking havoc? The biggest disruption was the collapse of the currency market.

Because of the severe shortage of copper coins, many transactions were made of cloth as currency? And now the severity of inflation has caused the cloth to depreciate significantly, which further exacerbates the damage caused by inflation.

But is there a process to everything? If you don't take this step because you can't bear it? What about Jiang Wei? It's a loss.

Originally? He planned to reveal these to the other five magnates through the meeting in the Commercial Plaza, but he didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to come in person. Jiang Wei naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Now, all he had to do was wait, and he believed that if a gate was opened, no one would be able to stop the process.

After two days of court discussions, some resistance was overcome, and the market for sea trade was finally opened, and a new yamen was established in the coastal towns to manage overseas trade.

Within a week, most of the Tang Dynasty posted notices encouraging them to go to the sea to do business.

At this time, Li Wen established the Maritime Trade Company, and he renovated and repaired the ships that were originally pirates, so that the ships no longer had to think about the seasons of tailwinds and headwinds. The ideas and assumptions were provided by Jiang Wei, and the technology was worked out little by little by these shipwrights.

These ships, which were originally pirates, add up to more than seventy, and each ship can carry hundreds of people and a lot of cargo. With these modified ships, the beginning of the Age of Discovery may have come nearly ten centuries earlier.

When the notices of the imperial court were posted in various towns, Li Wen's advertising leaflets also reached various towns.

On the advertising leaflet, it is clearly written that each sea vessel charges 10% of the goods as the ship fee, and also provides security guards, and pays for accommodation and food.

It is much faster to go by sea than by land, and if you go to Central Asia by land, it will take about seven months. And it only takes three or four months to take the sea route, and this alone is tempting enough.

Moreover, the advertisement specifically stated that the people on board were experienced sailors (pirates who have been at sea all year round), which ensured safety to a certain extent, but the result was that only some merchants who were forced to have no choice chose to go to sea.

If they don't go to sea, these merchants can't live anymore, and Li Wen's overseas trade can be said to be their last hope.

In Yangzhou, the Xu family is the largest local cloth merchant, with tens of thousands of workshops and nearly 100 shops, covering more than 10 towns in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places.

And now, after this storm-like inflation, it is not surprising that he is also on the verge of bankruptcy.

Under this storm, as the largest cloth merchant in Jiangnan, even if he is backed by the wealthy family in Jiangnan, he is powerless to change anything.

However, at this time, he asked for help like the Jiangnan wealthy family, but he didn't get any help. In the face of the Jiangnan wealthy family who can only ask for it and have no help, the Xu family is a little desperate.

In the end, when he decided to use his twin daughters as a bargaining chip and wanted to get the help of the wealthy family in Jiangnan, he received such an advertising leaflet. He thought about it for an hour, and then he didn't hesitate to join in.

Jiang Wei's movements are not slow, he has saved a lot of cloth, just waiting for this wave of harvesting. When the notice was posted, he immediately asked Li Shun to organize people and charter thirty boats.

Driven by Li Shun, like a fierce medicine, businessmen who were still hesitant joined the ranks of going to sea.

When Jiang Wei heard these news, he just smiled. Subsequently, he asked people to inform Song Cen Yue, who was begging, that the opening of the sea trade had been opened. Then it's time to export salt, soap and other supplies to Datang.

However, the name is the most important, so by what name? Jiang Weide's first thought was to build the country, because only in this way can he enter the market of Datang and other countries through formal channels without worrying about being suppressed.
