465 Trade routes are connected
Just as the first snowflakes fell in the winter of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Wang Hao and Jiang Erlang, who had sent Uighur envoys, finally returned. True to his mission, Wang Hao basically completed Hong Tao's entrustment, and reached a cooperation agreement with the Western Regions Uighurs and the Yellow Head Uighurs on joint development, common utilization, and common harvest, and at the same time redrew the border between the three parties.
According to the agreement, this ancient post road from Liangzhou to Yumen Pass is the actual place of action of the three common slogans. The east of the Shule River was under the administration of Ganliang Road, and the west of the Shule River was under the administration of the Uighur government.
The traders who traveled along this road were each taxed only once, which meant that after the traders from the west had paid the Uighurs once, they did not have to pay the tax again when they arrived at the Ganliang Road. And the vendors who go from the east to the west do not have to pay the tax again before they reach the Yumen Pass after paying the tax on Ganliang Road.
As for whether or not the traders had to pay taxes when they entered the roads of the other states of the Great Song Dynasty and other parts of the Uighurs, it was a matter outside the agreement.
The main reason for the signing of such a half-cut agreement was that the Uighurs did not have a tax system, and there were no formal economic exchanges between the major tribes. When they reach other tribes' territory, they are no longer under the control of the tribes occupying Guazhou and Shazhou, and they can't make decisions for other tribes.
"In the following sense, this agreement is dispensable, in case this tribe loses power one day, it is still useless to change to a new tribe."
Wang Hao himself didn't understand Hong Tao's insistence on putting the agreement on paper, knowing that this thing was not very useful, so why did he have to get one? looks good, or do you want to ask the emperor for credit based on this?
"Hey, I can't say it's completely useless, it's an excuse to go to war at the very least. It is better to have a certificate than not to have a certificate, and it is natural for the official to beat them in the future. Uncle, there is a difference between negotiations between countries and between merchants. Merchants have credit as a guarantee, there is no such thing between countries, and no one will come forward to prove it, everything has to rely on this thing. But before we move our fists, we have to stand up to reason and righteousness, so that the fight is tough, and we can't tell the soldiers that it's to cheat. How far is this Shule River from the old city of Suzhou? Why did you choose this as a demarcation? ”
As a businessman, Wang Hao doesn't understand that it's completely normal, Hong Tao has a much bigger appetite than he thought. The agreement is just to delay time, and one day you will free up your hands, what bullshit agreement, if you say you violate it, you will violate it, and sending troops is to make decisions for the people and make profits for the sake of merchants and merchants, which sounds righteous.
Didn't the ancients say that justice will triumph over evil? Using this as a reason, I guess I can sell a large number of war bonds. That's right, Hong Tao's justification for the need to go to war is not for morale and reputation at all, but for money.
Now the new army in Huangzhou is raised by him at his own expense, or his eldest brother is raised with dividends such as flower cream, black gold line, and perfume. This is not a long-term solution, and it is only appropriate to integrate the army into the national system, so as to prevent others from always using feudal towns, secessions, and other basins to detain themselves.
But the taxes in Huangzhou and Ganliang Road in a short period of time will definitely not be able to support such a costly army, what should we do? Hong Tao came up with a compromise solution, which was to issue war bonds.
Borrowing private capital to wage war to support the army, the government endorses the tax revenue for the next few years, and explains the interest difference between winning and losing. If you win, everyone counts the money together, and if you lose, these IOUs will not become waste paper, and you will slowly repay them with taxes, but the interest will be low.
Let's fight this thing, if you play it well, it can really stimulate economic development and obtain medium and long-term benefits. But most of the ancients didn't understand this truth, and it was difficult to explain it.
As soon as they talk about war, many people will immediately think of words such as the people's lack of livelihood, the misery of life, and the withering of all industries, and they are very resistant to it in their bones.
How can we stop being afraid of war, but not be reckless? Hong Tao felt that the Dutch had done a better job in history, and he might as well plagiarize it a little.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the shrewd Dutch conjured up a joint-stock corporate entity capable of forming mercenaries, signing formal treaties with foreign countries, and issuing currency, and united with the East India Company, commonly known as the Dutch East India Company, which was also the world's first real company limited by shares.
Speaking of the Dutch, this is a group of big profiteers who are not weaker than the Jews, and they are fiercer than the Jews, they are not unfamiliar with buying and selling, they are not unfamiliar with robbery, they are clever and creative freaks.
They pioneered many of the world's major political and financial reforms, such as the stock market, which was invented by the Dutch, and the world's first capitalist state, not the British, was founded by the Dutch, then called the Dutch Republic. Britain and France are just learning from them, but they are larger and more effective.
This is far away, and there are many near. The first to be controlled by the government to legally use blockages was also in the Netherlands, and there were gay legal marriages or something. If you want to say that these are negative, then audio tapes and CDs are more positive, and the Bluetooth that everyone is using in their mobile phones today was also invented by them.
The first one is puzzling, and that is the height of the Dutch. Men are the tallest in the world, with an average of more than 1.84 meters, and women also average more than 1.7 meters.
Why is this so, some people say that they drink a lot of milk, but it is not only the Netherlands that uses milk as water to drink, Denmark in the north, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria in the east are all so virtuous, why are they not as high as the Dutch?
The author thinks that the sea level of the Dutch land may be too low, and there is a constant danger of flooding. The Dutch are not happy with their genes, and in order to continue, they take the initiative to change, and strive to make their bodies grow taller, so that the chances of survival are greater, and they adapt to the environment.
This point of view has no scientific basis, and it has not been screened by big data statistics.
What is the Dutch East India Company? To put it bluntly, it is an armed business, and it also works part-time for large-scale robbery and colonization. Anyway, it has basically done everything that the state can do, and it has done everything that the state can't.
But this firm has a stake in the government, and the government benefits from everything it does, and the private shareholders benefit with it. By extension, the whole Dutch people have a part, because the Netherlands is a republic.
This is where the Dutch thieves, they saw at that time, it is a bit ugly to say that the state comes forward to rob and colonize, and it is easy to have a head-on conflict with other countries.
What to do? Just got such an East India Company to come out as a shield, and everyone shared the benefits, and the infamy was all carried by the East India Company, and the government was still pure.
I really can't hide from it, so I just remove the leaders of the company, and then say to the outside world, you see, I have replaced them, so it is not the government that does bad things, but individual people, and they have an explanation to the people and the outside world.
The Dutch East India Company consisted of dozens of shareholders on a board of directors and distributed rights and obligations according to the size of the investment, of which seventeen had the largest rights, known as the seventeen gentlemen, who basically directed the operation of this vast corporate-state complex.
Although the Age of Discovery has not yet begun, Hong Tao can't touch the sea, at most he is a Mongolian naval commander. But he feels that whether it is the sea or the land, it is just a carrier, and the important thing is not the carrier but the core content of this model.
Replacing ships with horses and vehicles, replacing the Netherlands with Huangzhou and Ganliang Road, and replacing shareholders with themselves and merchants from the Great Song Dynasty is not the Great Song version of the East India Company. Of course, you have to change the name.
In fact, Hong Tao didn't want to get a company entity out, and there was no need for a name. He just wanted to transplant some of the East India Company's business models and ideas, and become the first group in the world to treat war as a business.
The purpose is still the same as the old talk, to use the interests that can be seen and felt to drive the people's invisible and intangible thinking to change. Once this thing changes, everything can be discussed, and whatever you want to do can be answered at any time, as long as you can provide greater benefits.
By the way, the fact that the government issued bonds to borrow money from the people was not invented by the Dutch, but was created by an earlier and greater republic, the Republic of Venice, and a confederation of merchants.
Plagiarized the essence of the two ** merchants, and then mixed them together, if those Jews can still help to pick up the leaks, Hong Tao feels that he is really invincible in the current era.
