Chapter 415: Collusion between Officials and Businessmen

Simply figuring out what Sun Chunming meant, Sun Yue was also shocked, and I have to say that my father is really a bit big, or ambitious.

Sun Yue knew that Sun Chunming had always had the intention of establishing a big business alliance similar to the East India Company, but in the past, no matter how good the Sun family was, no matter how richest he was, few people were willing to play with him.

Until later in charge of Luoyang, with the Sun family industry as the core, relying on the glass factory and the steel factory, it is regarded as the capital of the Central Plains region to be a roll, basically the retired tycoons and wealthy businessmen in the military have joined, but it is a pity that it is only a preliminary cooperation, and there is still a long distance from the unification of the Central Plains business community, not to mention that the capital power outside the Central Plains is not small.

What's more, he doesn't dare to continue to develop, and he gradually can't control more and more powerful shareholders. Second, this capital power is too big and easy to provoke Zhao Kuangyin's suspicion, and the gains outweigh the losses, so he can only have ambitions in his heart and plan to find another opportunity.

Who would have thought that the opportunity would come so soon, he himself was confused, and he had no plan at all, so he actually became one of the salt and iron envoys of the three divisions, and the three envoys Chu Zhaofu also hated the official family, and deliberately even if he and the three envoys snatched power.

No matter what era, when power and financial resources are perfectly combined, the energy that bursts out is incomparably huge, this is not addition, it is multiplication, and even the power of special mother.

After the successful operation of the commercial banknote salt introduction, tasted the sweetness, and was praised by the whole court, he went on the road of combining government and business, or collusion, after all, whether it is an official or a businessman, it is very unpleasant to see others collude, and he colludes with himself, hahahahaha.

The minting of silver coins, Sun Chunming did not directly hand over to the Salt and Iron Division, but established a silver money bureau under the Salt and Iron Division, which was responsible for colluding with merchants all over the world to build a money bank, because silver coins and copper coins were required to be exchanged in proportion to the bank.

Here is a popularization of financial common sense, the exchange of currency even in the Ming Dynasty of economic collapse has an official proportion, for example, the government stipulates that one or two silver is worth one hundred Wen, but in actual exchanges, the common people are not stupid, one thousand Wen can be exchanged for one or two silver is good, just like the gold yuan coupon in our relatively difficult period, in principle, the exchange with the RMB is one to one or one to one, but in fact, no one is exchanged with you for one to two.

If there is no money to rely on, Sun Chunming's upper lip touches his lower lip to mint new coins, then it is nonsense, this is one of the most fundamental rights of a country, no matter how it is minted, it is equivalent to the printing of money in later generations, that is going to be a big mess, how you set the exchange ratio is useless, the people do not recognize you.

The Yuan and Ming dynasties also issued tens of trillions of banknotes.

But with the money bank, it is different, equivalent to the central bank, for example, Sun Chunming stipulated that one silver coin is equal to one or two silver, equal to ten copper coins, regardless of this exchange ratio is outrageous, as long as the people can exchange it at any time in the bank, this ratio is established, and before the influx of silver in the country, this system is unlikely to collapse.

So in essence, this is not a new coinage, it is a special flight ticket or a handover in advance, relying on silver is just a transition.

To be honest, this kind of currency has nothing to do with ordinary people, Sun Chunming wanted the imperial court to combine the tax system with silver coins, but was rejected by Zhao Kuangyin, and people were afraid that the steps would be too big and easy to pull eggs.

So it is very homely, this thing has become purely commercial, and it can be exchanged for at least 1,000 pieces at a time, that is, 10,000 yuan, which directly turns this silver coin into something that only the top rich families can afford.

A large amount of copper coins need to be stored in the bank, and the imperial court has no money, and the promotion and use of silver coins are inseparable from the support of big businessmen, so the money village has naturally become a joint office of government and business, fifty percent of the shares are in the salt and iron division, forty percent of the shares are scattered among the people, and one percent is going to be thrown to Sun Yue's military commission, so that the middle level of the army can raise funds to buy.

As long as this thing is developed well, it will also merge the country's mining business and even the salt and iron business, and it will almost have seven or eight points of charm of the East India Company.

If the politics are clear, silver coins can soon be promoted from the hands of these big businessmen, so that power can rely on private wealth to penetrate into every corner of the empire smoothly and efficiently, and the opening of a bank is a special absolute profiteering industry no matter when and where, even if it is not clear where the profits are for the time being, but the ancients are not stupid, and those who are qualified will inevitably flock to join in, and combine power with the power of capital, so as to skyrocket.

This model is somewhat similar to the Shan-Western Jin merchant group at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but it is purely a private transaction, without an official background, and it can't get out of a province after all, although it later got a certain development by being a traitor to the Manchu Dynasty, but just like that, it can't be compared with Sun Chunming.

Sun Yue knew that his father really wanted to make something like the Dutch East India Company in the Great Song Dynasty.

By the way, the Sun family accounted for nearly 10% of the 40% of the private capital, and even if they learned from the East India Company to get out the stocks in the future, 50% of the salt and iron division would remain unchanged forever.

At first glance, it seems that the power is in the hands of the Sun family, but in essence, this right is actually owned by the Yan Tie Division, but the Sun family, as the initiator of this matter, has the largest private shares, and even if they leave this job one day in the future, they can still retain a certain amount of influence.

However, in the future, the rights of the Salt and Iron Division will definitely not be able to be recovered, and one of the three divisions will inevitably be dominant, even more than the Privy Council's Chengzhi Division, unless the special Zhao Kuangyin will transfer Sun Chunming to the degree branch division for two years.

I feel so good when I think that one day in the future there will be an East India Company in my hands, it is a behemoth with its own army, coinage, diplomacy, and even war rights, and it is said that compared to the east and west, it can only be regarded as half of the prime minister, hehe, let Sun Chunming try it?

But obviously, that was later, and I guess I would have to wait for him to be promoted to become a real third envoy.

At least for the time being, the real role of this thing in the short term is to move the capital.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin can agree, because now Zhao Guangyi's Jin Wang Party is all swarming to scare Zhao Pu, even if he knows that Sun Chunming is doing something, he doesn't have much energy to take care of him, even if there are a few people of insight who want to scare, they can't bear the general trend, but they really let them do things inconspicuously.

Speaking of which, it seems that none of the father and son have anything to do with the move now.
