Chapter 786: The Longzhong of the Two Traitors vs. 2
To put it bluntly, human nature is lazy and greedy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Cai Jing and other sharks, seeing the success of Gao Fangping's original banknotes, have credibility, not only Jiangnan East Road fully accepted banknotes, but Xixia also began to collect banknotes. So there is nothing new under the sun, and these guys want to "print money directly" to solve these problems at the moment.
Yes, Lao Cai, as soon as he cocked his ass, Gao Fangping knew what he was going to pull. What do you say about currency matching materials, damn what they said is true, they are just using Gao Fangping's proposition, the essence is that they want to print money directly to pay for it, so that the court can see that it is prosperous and relaxed.
In fact, anyone who says, "I'll only take this once," can't be trusted. They won't relent after one sweetness, and the next time they'll just take it faster and more. To put it bluntly, the imperial court printing money is to rob the interests of Jiangzhou, the interests of Western Xia, and the interests of those who hold and trust paper money today.
Because the current banknotes belong to Jiangnan East Road, legally they can only buy Jiangzhou goods, and people in other places are willing to trust paper money and accept paper money because Jiangzhou now has productivity. With Jiangzhou's banknotes, you can buy high-quality and cheap materials, so this is the blood and sweat of Jiangzhou people. Once the imperial court was allowed to print money and buy out the goods in Jiangzhou, the imperial court itself used it to sell it for real money to pay their bills. Of course, Jiangzhou will cry blindly, because other people who hold banknotes will not be able to buy goods from Jiangzhou for the time being.
Then the martial arts of Jiangdong banknotes, of course, will be abolished. The Tanguts were not idiots, and they would still accept paper money at that time?
This circulating system is the initial form and credibility established by Gao Fangping's children. How can they abuse it?
Therefore, even if you accept the shortage of money temporarily, you must hold this level, and no matter how big the cost is, you must temporarily hold on to how much gold and silver you collect, and how many banknotes you will trigger in proportion.
Gold and silver are only a subject, and at a time when they cannot be used as industrial products, mining gold and silver for storage is a waste of labor and money, but it is also a means to stop them from indiscriminately distributing like the law. Because gold and silver will not be consumed now, then it can be quantified, not only the bureaucratic statements can be fooled, once Gao Fangping led the central army into Jiangzhou to inspect the treasury, did not see the gold and silver that should be there, but they issued the corresponding banknotes, of course, they can cut off the heads of thousands or even tens of thousands of people to sacrifice the flag, and then copy the family property of these dead ghosts to make up for the loss of the country.
This is the only meaning of the gold standard. In addition to this meaning, it is really a waste of labor and money.
However, if the coal and iron that came in from Western Xia were used as the logic of printing money, those things were consumed and turned into hundreds of energy existences. It's not just about looking at the reports they write with a brush.
If this is used as the logic of printing money, and it cannot be quantified, only 100,000 tons were shipped, and these guys wrote the statement as 300,000 tons, and the extra money printed could be used for their lavish spending.
"Fang Ping, don't get me wrong, it's not that the old man wants to harm anyone, but he is really considering this new law for the sake of interests, and this will also be the last political legacy left by the old man's rule." Cai Jingdao: "Fang Ping, you know in your own heart that if you don't print money with coal and iron transported into Western Xia, then with the speed at which the Great Song Dynasty discovers and mines gold and silver, it is equivalent to the Great Song Dynasty's money will become more and more tense and worse. I ask you, only gold and silver as collateral, so where does gold and silver come from? β
Gao Fangping pointed to Lao Cai's housekeeper, and then pointed to his own tea bowl, meaning to let him add water.
The old housekeeper was depressed for a while, this kind of thing could not have happened in the Cai family in the past, but unfortunately, the current pork is really so good, so he had to come to add water for tea.
Gao Fangping said: "As for where the gold and silver come from, this will implicate the students A strategy that I thought about when I was in power in Jiangzhou, that is, the Dongying strategy. The lower officials had access and reliable sources that the islands had large reserves of silver and gold, but they could not exploit and exploit them themselves. Xiangye, the world is so big that there are really some places full of gold, and only someone needs to pick it up and use it. β
"Oh!" Cai Jing was also slightly moved.
At that time, it was rumored that Gao Fangping was going to go overseas to hunt for treasures for the official family. But the rumor was a joke at the time, and Cai Jing used the rumor as an excuse for Gao Fangping to make money from the development of the shipyard.
However, now, when the prime minister of the DPRK is formally discussing the matter of changing the law with the "High Standing Committee", he has proposed this, then it is definitely not groundless, and there is really gold and silver everywhere.
So Cai Jing looked at him with a strange expression for a long time, and tried to say: "Dongying's silver, isn't it really an excuse you used to set up a shipyard?" β
Gao Fangping said embarrassedly: "You still know the boy, I did use this excuse to persuade the official family to develop shipping." It was really our Great Song Dynasty back then, the imperial court and even the locality, and then the people, there were not a few catties of copper coins after shaking the emptiness, and the strong investment in Bianjing Shipyard cost so huge, if it became a policy to find the household department to speak, don't say that you can't pass this pass, Uncle Zhang will not let me go in the first place. I also had no choice, so I used the concept of pyramid marketing to tell a story, and persuaded the emperor to invest in the Bianjing Shipyard by painting cakes. I am proud that we have a good queen in the Great Song Dynasty, and she has a good family, and only the royal family has spare money to invest in that period. β
Seeing that Lao Cai's expression was still strange, Gao Fangping admitted even more embarrassedly: "Okay, investing in Bianjing Shipyard, of course I have also made a lot of money from it, because if my own factory is going to start, I have to sell parts, materials and technology to Bianjing Shipyard, I ...... Of course, I made a few purchases from the shipyard by the way, but you feel your conscience and say, I don't look ugly compared to others, right? β
Cai Jing pointed to his nose for a long time, and said with a helpless wry smile: "One of the most interesting jokes in the Great Song Dynasty is: pork looks good when eaten. Taking advantage of the emperor's reputation, kidnapped the royal family to make money, this kind of thing since the opening of the Great Song Dynasty, only you can do it, fortunately, you didn't waste the emperor's money, ability and luck are here, no one can do anything about you. β
Cai Jing's tone was just joking with him, in fact, Cai Jing knew better than anyone else that this was where pork Ping was powerful. At that time, Gao Fangping himself was fully capable of investing in the shipyard by himself, and if he made all the money in the world, it would be another sin, not only would some people be jealous, but there would definitely be a group boycott of the shipbuilding industry.
But Pork Ping was very clever to avoid the tail and let the emperor make this money, while his kid, as a supplier of materials, components, and technology, hid behind the emperor's big tree to make money. Damn is extremely treacherous, notoriously the emperor's shipyard is making money, in fact, Gao Fangping, who supplies various components and technical patents, makes no less money than the emperor.
But because it is a royal cause, it has escaped everyone's pursuit and interception.
"Alright." Cai Jing smiled and said, "The old man is most satisfied with you, you are a sensible person, at least you know how not to eat up the profits, from the point of view of the many powerful people including you who sold the shipyard to the royal family and sold the money village to the imperial court, this is all happy, and now the old man's shares in the money village are larger than yours, but the shares that Cai Qian acquired at the beginning have a very large value." So I won't talk about your money, back to the question itself, does Dongying really have that much gold and silver waiting to be mined? β
"Yes." Gao Fangping Road.
Cai Jing narrowed his eyes and said: "When you cashed out the shares of Qianzhuang, you were criticized as a stupid investment mistake. The old man knew that you used all the cash money to buy a big ship, and you also took out a lot of loans to establish Gao's Shipping Group. There is nothing new under the sun, your share of transportation has made too much money with the help of the Northwest War, and even the Ministry of Household and Industry is now buying your shipping services. The old man also read the reports of the two shipyards, almost all of them are orders that you took the lead in, as well as the orders of your protΓ©gΓ© Guan Qixi Menqing, you are going to monopolize the shipping of the Great Song Dynasty. So, now you tell the court that there is gold and silver waiting to be shipped on the other side of the sea, and it looks like you are painting cakes again and selling your shipping services? β
Gao Fangping's old face was slightly red and said, "There is a sales pitch." However, it is also a matter of mutual benefit for everyone. Xiangye, if you want to leave your so-called last political legacy and completely solve the problem of money shortage that has plagued the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, you must go to Wadao and bring gold and silver. Of course, gold and silver can't be robbed, that's not my Great Song style, so I need to exchange materials for it. The Great Song Dynasty now has supplies, so I need my ship to transport the supplies of the Great Song Dynasty to Dongying, and then bring back gold and silver from Dongying. Qian Zheng is definitely the first strategic weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, and this will also be the biggest political skill of my Gao Fangping in this life, so now you have to solve the money shortage and print money, there is only this way. β
Cai Jing said: "The value of ordinary materials is not enough, and the risk of shipping is really large, so too many materials are needed to exchange for gold and silver." Just talk about what you think, what do you want to sell again? β
Gao Fangping's cat is greasy, and Cai Jing has seen through it again, and the waterfall is sweaty.
But he also had to bite the bullet and say: "Weapons." With the current internal situation in Dongying, facing the rise and struggle of the samurai, gold and silver are of little use in their hands, so weapons and armor are the high-value materials they need most. Their people have no human rights, and they don't complain about being slaves, so those warriors who hold power don't need much civilian resources to appease their rule. But if the opponent has the leading military equipment, it means that the weaker side is destroyed, so they will pay the greatest price for these war needs. β
Lao Cai couldn't help but change color, and the tea bowl was removed.
Damn for a long time, Uncle Zhang didn't fully convince him all night. He is still reluctant to cut the arms production lines in his hands now, and wants to continue to maintain production and make money, but the existing share of the Great Song Dynasty is no longer allowed for him to divide up, so of course he has to sell it overseas. He's going to export war to the outside world.
