Gao Fangping continued: "If you really get the trial license, paper money is the legal currency of Jiangzhou, then I ask you to trade with Jiangzhou in paper money." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info That's the condition. ”

"That's all?" Guan Qi narrowed his eyes and said.

Gao Fangping smiled: "Yes, that's what I mean." I don't require you to exchange all your assets for paper money. As long as you don't trade gold and silver in Jiangzhou, you can destroy the financial order. At the same time, abide by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and leave the territory without copper coins. Therefore, it is equivalent to that the gold and silver you bring to Jiangzhou for trading must be deposited in the Jiangzhou government in exchange for transaction vouchers, that is, paper money. “

Guan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If it's just like this, of course it's no problem, in fact, it's too difficult to transport copper coins out of the country, I just ask, when I need to, can I use paper money to exchange gold and silver from Jiangzhou and leave?" ”

"Of course not. Otherwise, I'll be fed up and change hands with you like this. Gao Fangping slapped the table and said.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good, then I can only leave with paper money, it's just a few pieces of paper, and it can only be used in Jiangzhou? Guan Qi frowned.

Gao Fangping said: "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of asking for gold and silver?" ”

Guan Qileng said: "For the sake of trading, in order to buy the goods I need." ”

"Good, that's fine." Gao Fangping smiled and said, "Then do you think I have the goods you need in Jiangzhou?" ”

Guan Qi understood, took a deep breath and said, "Of course there are, and there are too many, many things are unique." ”

Gao Fangping said word by word: "Yes, this is the competitiveness of my Jiangzhou, if you want to keep the banknotes from rotten, you have to look at the strength and productivity of the hairstyle." With the guarantee of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiangzhou's banknotes, of course, you can buy things in Jiangzhou. Then the only thing you should focus on is: what is there in Jiangzhou and whether it can support these banknotes. ”

Guan Qidao: "The villain understands. At present, Jiangzhou has nearly one million handicraft technicians with the best quality in the world, and has the best technology and production tools. This is the confidence of adults. Okay, no problem, as long as the Ministry of Household of the Song State and the Jiangzhou Prefecture endorse as a guarantee, promising that the banknotes can always buy items in Jiangzhou, then when there is no shortage of items in Jiangzhou, the banknotes can be accepted. Guaranteeing that I can exchange paper money for goods in Jiangzhou is actually the same as guaranteeing that I can exchange gold and silver. ”

Gao Fangping clapped his hands and said, "You are an understanding person, I am optimistic about you." It takes a lot of effort to convince someone to understand this, but it is ten times easier to talk to you. ”

Guan Qi said suspiciously: "Even so, just based on production technology and commodities, it is enough to support the gold content of Jiangzhou's banknotes, why do adults attach so much importance to gold and silver, and use gold and silver to participate in the guarantee?" ”

Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and said, "Because there are not many people in this world who are as smart as you, and many people will not understand this truth." They trust gold and silver more. Therefore, in order to attract more Hu merchants, Japanese merchants, and Song merchants to accept the paper money of our Jiangzhou, at the beginning, it was necessary to use gold and silver as the standard. ”

Guan Qidao: "It sounds like you mean, sooner or later, the abolition of the gold, silver and copper standards will also be announced?" ”

"Yes, in front of people who understand, I confess to you like this, gold, silver and copper are limited, and they can't support it for too long, in the end, pure paper money is the king." Gao Fangping Road.

Guan Qidao: "That's it...... It can work, but it seems that everything is built on faith? ”

"Nothing in this world is risk-free, and gold and silver are not everything, even if you lock up Qi in the manor cellar of your kingdom and pile up a mountain of real money and silver, is it really safe?" Gao Fangping Road.

Guan Qi thought about it and said with a smile: "It makes sense, it's really not safe, the empire can confiscate all my gold and silver with a single order." In this way, it seems that the adults are right, gold and silver are the same as paper money, they are all things that are said by those in power, and they are just a symbol of confidence. ”

Gao Fangping nodded and said, "It's indeed a symbol of confidence." My Great Song Dynasty is a civilized country, and in this era of comparative decay, if you have to find a regime to rely on, I recommend the Great Song Dynasty. You have also seen that as long as there is time in the Great Song Dynasty, commodities and materials will explode, then gold and silver cannot be eaten, and whether people hold paper money or gold and silver, in the end there is only one purpose is to exchange for goods and buy services. I have commodities, the most simple and industrious, and more than 100 million people in service. Therefore, as long as the regime is not finished, the paper money of the Great Song Dynasty is a symbol of credibility, a symbol of materials, and a symbol of service. ”

After a pause, Gao Fangping said: "The whole risk lies in the stability of the regime. So I won't talk about how good the Great Song Dynasty is, Guan Qi, you have rich experience, you tell me directly, is there a more stable regime and political system in this world than my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Guan Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't want to admit it, but I really haven't." The threat to Da Song is external. Count your wealth, and the most powerful opponent, the Liao State, will be settled by you with money. The trouble of the henchmen is the Western Xia, but although the Western Xia is fierce, it does not have the ability to destroy the Song Dynasty. Therefore, as long as the Great Song Dynasty can handle the relationship with the Liao State well, it is the most stable country in this era, and there is no one. ”

"Then don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu again, if you want to do business with me, hurry up, bring your gold and silver to me and exchange it for my banknotes, and then you and I will work together to become bigger and stronger, isn't it simple?" Gao Fangping Road.

"Okay."

Guan Qi fought hard in order to be the first to order a super ship and pretend to be forced out, so he agreed.

Came in with real money in exchange for a pile of paper, no matter how the warriors under him looked at it, they all felt that Guan Qi Boss had been fooled, which was a manifestation of water in his brain.

In fact, there have been rumors about paper money to be tried in Jiangzhou for a long time, some Hu businessmen, Song businessmen, also think that Gao Fangping's brain is funny, how can someone be so stupid, in the Great Song Dynasty Jiaozi money to fail to use real money to exchange paper?

The reason is that these mallets have failed to understand what is going on in Jiangzhou now.

It's just the rumors from earlier, plus the "large terraced rice fields that don't exist elsewhere" that Guan Qi saw, the "water conservancy projects" that don't exist elsewhere, and the skilled and simple workers who don't exist elsewhere. In fact, in Guan Qi's eyes, these are enough to make Jiangzhou's banknotes more trustworthy than gold and silver.

Where there is no productivity, it is useless to have gold and silver. and silver and gold shall not be eaten. When the real disaster and chaos come, even gold is not wanted, and food, materials and medicines are king. It's a pity that on the other hand, when there are enough commodities and food, troubled times will not come easily, so production capacity is actually everything, is the core competitiveness. And the gold and silver mines are symbols, which in any dynasty are just a game of financial sharks......

Regarding Gao Fangping's plan to cooperate with Guan Qi, the most treacherous and obscene celebrity on the Silk Road, many people in the official circle are not optimistic about this, such as Zhao Ding, such as Chang Wei after listening to Zhao Ding's fooling.

Even in this era, some people and things are not a secret to him. Guan Qi is really a big celebrity, and the tribes and forces that have been fooled by him are really not as few as one or two.

Why did Zhao Ding know him? In the past, Zhao Ding was in charge of the judicial port in Bianjing, Guan Qi and the warriors under Guan Qi made trouble, and Zhao Ding was invited to drink tea more than once.

As Zhao Ding and Lao Chang, the advantage of them is that they don't have to care about anything else, as long as they bite the reason for not following the rules, they can start opposing the Great Demon King.

As for why Gao Fangping handed over his business share to Guan Qi, they would not understand and would not care.

Even if Gao Fangping didn't know Guan Qi's notorious reputation, he actually knew who he was after talking to Guan Qi once. This kind of person really has no attributes and nationality, he is a mother if he has milk, and for his motherland, he is really a comprador of the leading party.

But one of the greatest advantages of this kind of person is that he can see many things clearly and thoroughly. Take the lead in eating crabs - banknotes.

Otherwise, in fact, the biggest resistance Gao Fangping faced in the implementation of paper money in Jiangzhou was not the imperial court or the common people, but the most practical merchant capital.

If a shrewd shark like Guan Qi takes the lead in accepting banknotes, it will be a signal that others will pay attention. Then, after Guan Qi obtains benefits before others, the profit-seeking nature of capital will drive other businessmen to follow up. banknotes, it is possible to really open the situation quickly.

What Zhao Ding and Chang Wei don't understand is that since Gao Fangping wants to engage in this set of government-run models in Jiangzhou, why do they need the participation of these businessmen's capital?

Gao Fangping's answer was: There are nothing new under the sun, many things that the government really can't do, and it just so happens that businessmen are strongly aggressive in these affairs, and after someone takes the lead in forming a trend, they are a group of crazy sharks.

For example, if trade is used as a means of attack to loot other regimes, even the government and enterprises under Gao Fangping are not so aggressive and aggressive. The government's involvement in these matters is very sensitive, and if it is not operated well, it may lead to a national war.

The biggest enemy is yourself. This is the truth, the destruction of an empire sometimes cannot be done by military means, only by their own compradors. For example, more than 900 years later, if the United States wants to overthrow the Soviet Union, it will absolutely not be able to send troops there, so on the contrary, it will immediately resolve the contradictions within the Soviet Union and begin to integrate with the outside world.

In the face of trade, Gao Fangping's method is still a core: armed defense, weak attack.

The government is armed, and it adopts a conservative and defensive policy in this matter. The profit-seeking aggressive businessman is Wen, who participates in the all-out offensive and gnawing. That's the general direction. If the government itself manages the government and kills the core technology of manufacturing and agriculture, then all problems will not be a problem. In the case of passing the rule of officials, an empire with manufacturing and an army will not fall.

Relatively speaking, the business of the Belt and Road Initiative is not what Gao Fangping is most worried about, and the real problem he faces is the strategy for Dongying.

Because in Gao Fangping's situation, Hangzhou Port is the most convenient for Dongying trade. However, Hangzhou Zhizhou is Cai Bian.

In addition to this, at the same time, Gao Fangping is also facing the next step, and he will personally go to Dongying to preside over the investment and select partners. Finally, a team was stationed to mine the silver mines.

When faced with these issues, the simplest requirement is political stability in Japan.
