Judging from the "Universal Law" and the "Overseas Trade Law", although the imperial court advocates the rule of inaction, it is really not inaction, Han Yi himself has always promoted free development, but it is really not free development, in terms of economy, the imperial court is intervening and controlling everywhere, and the bills on the industrial and commercial class have increased all of a sudden, far exceeding the laws involving agriculture and mulberry.

This is not Han Yi's helpless move, nor is it to cater to the emperor, because he knows that if the businessmen are completely allowed to develop, there will be many, many vicious competitions, resulting in internal consumption, and even everything he has established will be destroyed, Han Yi's economic philosophy is to give businessmen the space to develop freely, but at the same time, the imperial court must intervene in the economy and control the economy.

It is not allowed to plant tea, it is not allowed to plant mulberry, this is already a very, very strict control, tea trees, mulberry trees can not be brought overseas, if you are caught, then you will not only face a bankrupt fine, but also face prison.

There is no reason to speak, in a word, it is not allowed.

But even so, when the Empress officially promulgated the "Universal Act" and the "Overseas Trade Law", Chang'an fell into jubilation.

Everyone is singing the praises of Wu Meiniang, because Wu Meiniang's very radical remarks have been supported by many people, and they are despicable and shameless for their own people, this is benevolent government, if the emperor only cares about his own face and does not care about the life and death of his own people, even if you blow the idea of justice and benevolence to the sky, you are also tyranny.

And then again, the ruler has always relied on not face, but on strength, if you have strength, you will have face, if you don't have strength, no one will look down on you.

If the rule of inaction is just the beginning, then these two bills are to help Wu Meiniang sweep away the decline, she is now really blooming inside and outside, on the one hand, she regained a certain amount of power in the court, and was supported by many ministers, on the other hand, it helped her get the hearts of the people, and now businessmen are also very supportive of her, because this matter has been continuing to ferment, everyone knows that if there is no queen to push it with all her might, this thing will definitely not be possible, because the Central Plains Dynasty has never done it again.

It can be seen that after the queen returned to the court, she was on the side of the merchants.

The Lady of Wei's Mansion.

"Mother, how are you doing?"

"When you're old, you'll always have these problems." Yang lay on the couch, waved his hand at his daughter, and said, "Now that you are so busy, don't come here often." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Mother's body is the most important thing, and this thing is always busy." ”

Yang smiled with satisfaction, and said: "You don't know, since this incident, my house has become crowded again, it seems that you have made the right move." ”

Wu Meiniang just smiled slightly.

Yang Shi said: "But there is one thing, I have always wanted to ask you. ”

Wu Meiniang said: "What's the matter?" ”

Yang said: "You and Han Yi? ”

Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This matter was done by me in cooperation with Han Yi." ”

"I also guessed a little before, this Han Yi is really much better than Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, or do you have a vision!" Yang smiled and said curiously, "How did you reconcile with Han Yi?" ”

Wu Meiniang only felt that her face was a little hot, but she said very calmly: "The current situation, the two of us continue to fight, it is not good for anyone, and there is no deep hatred between us, he supports me, I also support him, it is good for him and me." ”

Yang said: "It's that simple? ”

Wu Meiniang smiled: "How complicated can it be?" ”

Yang looked at Wu Meiniang, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, but she didn't ask more, nodded and said, "If you can really cooperate with Han Yi again, my mother will be a lot more relieved!" ”

......

Yuanjiabao.

"Hehe... I didn't expect this to go so smoothly! ”

Yuan Xi, who has never been smiling, is also smiling so much that he can't close his mouth at this moment, these two bills can be said to have allowed the Yuan family to get everything they want, because the imperial court not only recognized all their rights and interests on the island, but also named it "Yuanzhou", which is really glorious!

Yuan Le smiled and said: "Big brother, this is all the credit of Han Yi, if you want to change to someone else, there is a chance that you can't pass it." ”

Yuan Xi nodded again and again: "Can I not know this." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "This is what the son-in-law should do, after all, the southward expansion plan was proposed by the son-in-law, and now when there is a problem, the son-in-law should be responsible." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Then thank you, uncle won't say much." ”

Han Yi hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't talk about that, it's too outward." ”

"Good, good!"

Yuan Xi smiled, and said with a straight face: "For others, they can slowly consider whether to participate or not, but for our Yuan family, we must act quickly and give Yuan Jie their support." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "But uncle, have you ever thought that the Buddha Death Country is not a small island, and it is very difficult for the Yuan family to swallow it alone, even if it is taken, it will be impossible to digest it for a while." If our Yuan family relies on its own strength to eliminate the Buddha's dead country, then it will be a wedding dress for many people, and Yuan Jie will not be happy in their hearts, and according to the overseas trade law, those places will be included in my Tang territory, and of course the imperial court will allow the people of the Tang Dynasty to go there, which may breed many contradictions. ”

Yuan Xi listened, frowned and said: "This is a question, I don't know what you mean?" ”

Han Yi said: "Cooperate with other businessmen to set up a new group to deal with overseas expansion, everyone will contribute money and efforts, and the land will be distributed according to the proportion of investment, which will reduce many disputes." As for the other merchants, they all want to profit from it, but they don't know anything about the situation there, and they don't have a foothold, and I think they are also eager to cooperate with the Yuan. Moreover, the odds of success are higher and safer. ”

Yuan Xi nodded, and said to Yuan Xiu and Yuan Zhe, who were sitting at the end: "Xiu'er, Zhe'er, this matter will be handled by you." ”

"My grandson knows."

Yuan Xiu and Yuan Zhe said in unison.

Han Yi said again: "In addition, the climate over there is very different from the climate in Guanzhong, and it has to go to the sea, I don't recommend recruiting warriors from Guanzhong, we can recruit people from Jiaozhi." ”

Yuan Xiu was stunned and said: "Why recruit people from Jiaozhi, even if we don't recruit people from Guanzhong, we can recruit people directly from Guangzhou, which is our territory, Jiaozhi is too remote, and we are not very familiar with the people of Jiaozhi." ”

"That's one of the reasons I asked you to recruit people from Cochin." Han Yi nodded, and said: "Jiaozhi has always had little contact with the Central Plains, and the imperial court has also adopted a restraint system for that side. Once the imperial court strengthens the control of Jiaozhi, then it will be beneficial for our Central Plains merchants to trade there, and for our merchants, the market is undoubtedly the most important, if there is a Jiaozhi market on the edge of Yuanzhou, it is undoubtedly a great thing for Yuanzhou's trade.

Even on a case-by-case basis, the climate in Cochin is similar to that of the island, and there are a large number of fishermen, and the people are strong, and the key place is relatively poor, and it costs much less to recruit people from there, so it is the best candidate. In addition, this is not a war that will be fought and left, where we want to rule, force alone is not enough, I need some scholars, so that after the battle, more effective management, I suggest from the Lingnan area, find some depressed literati to help, so that you can also get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Jiaozhi is naturally also in Han Yi's plan, but this step is advanced, his plan is to let the Yuan family trade with Jiaozhi first, use merchants to enter Jiaozhi, and wait until the time is ripe to recruit people.

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "It takes a lot of effort!" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Uncle, please rest assured, the imperial court will arrange someone to go over there to help you, if the businessman goes, people may not believe it." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Then the old man will be relieved." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, and asked again: "But I don't know how many people the imperial court allows us to recruit?" ”

Han Yi said: "10,000 people, this is already the limit of the imperial court, but the imperial court has secretly sent people to Lelang Prefecture to let Xiaohu lead a part of the sailors to go south to assist you in attacking under the pretext of exercises." ”

Yuan Xi was pleasantly surprised: "Is this serious? ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "This was arranged by the queen herself." ”

"This old man can rest assured." Yuan Xi's face was joyful.

Yuan He suddenly asked, "Then how much money do you need here?" ”

Han Yi said: "I have made a preliminary estimate that everything before and after will cost at least one million yuan when everything is added up. ”

As soon as these words came out, these elders of the Yuan family began to wipe their sweat.

More than ten years ago, just hearing this number, you wouldn't have thought about it. When Han Yi first arrived in Chang'an, tens of thousands of transactions were unique, and now there are hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars at every turn, which can also be seen how rapid the commercial development of Chang'an is.

Of course, this million is not a currency, including all the expenses.

Yuan Le smiled bitterly: "With this number alone, we have to find someone to cooperate!" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "But the imperial court allows the purchase of weapons with national bonds, which has been used as collateral. ”

"National debt?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he had forgotten about it, and after a while, he said, "Oh... Oh, and the national debt will do! ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course!" Treasury bonds are issued by the imperial court, of course, they can be used to pay off debts to the state, and if they are mortgaged, it is fine, but they are used to buy weapons, because they have not yet matured, and the interest cannot be calculated. ”

Yuan Peony smiled: "With you, the head of the household, the court really can't afford to lose anything!" ”

Han Yi blinked and smiled: "With my husband, you won't be able to suffer a loss." ”

Yuan Peony blushed, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Be serious." As she spoke, she glanced at Yuanxi and them again.

Yuan Le smiled and said: "Han Yi, you can't say that, you can marry a peony, that's your blessing." ”

"Of course." Han Yi smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the second uncle, before marrying Peony, I still valued money very much, and I had to fight for every penny, but now I have long regarded it as a floating cloud, I think God has been good enough for me, even if I become poor and white, I am very satisfied." ”

Yuan Peony's cheeks were dizzy, and he gently pressed Han Yi with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Can you say a few words, we are talking about business now." ”

Yuan Le smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Peony, this business will never be finished." ”

Yuan Qi smiled: "Second brother, you don't have a few words, you don't see that the peony's face is red." ”

"Haha!"

The elders laughed.

Yuan Peony looked at Han Yi with fire, and her eyes clearly told Han Yi that you will sleep in the living room tonight.

Han Yi hurriedly handed over two aggrieved looks, which were obviously provoked by the second uncle.

Still Yuan Zhe was clever and said: "If the national debt can be used for this, let alone one million, two million may not be a problem." ”

Yuan Xi and they all nodded.

Although treasury bonds are also contracts, they are valuable, but at present it is not possible to buy things, although the interest cannot be calculated if you use treasury bonds to buy weapons, but this is also a kind of investment, and in comparison, it is more than earning interest.
