Chapter 1021 Counting Money and Counting to Hand Cramps (II)

Among these goods, in addition to cattle, Zhao Xing was most interested in "Bigo Iron" and "Mutsu's foal".

However, he knows a little about that the world's best iron ore is no longer rì ben, but in India. The sword made of Indian iron ore is the best in the world. In addition to India, that high-quality iron ore vein swept Vietnam, and the iron ore produced in Vietnam is cheap and of similar quality to Indian iron ore.

Zhao Xing's poor iron ore knowledge was obtained from Hainan tourism, and he heard from the locals during the tour that there is also a high-quality iron ore on Hainan Island at the same latitude as India's high-quality iron ore, which is slightly lower in quality than Vietnam, but not much different.

With cheap iron ore from Vietnam and Hainan to choose from, although the iron of Bingo is very famous, it is not worth selling specifically, so Zhao Xing's next sight is on the "foal of Mutsu", this kind of horse grown in the mountains of the cold zone is a copy of the rì ocean horse, which is worth introducing. Moreover, the price of war horses is high, and it is profitable to sell horses from Mutsu.

Listening to Zhao Xing's description of the scenery of the rì book with relish, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the famous products in various places, and catching the emptiness, he discussed with Nagato Busi: "Listening to what the big officials say, it's so interesting, when will the big officials leave?" Nagato-sama, you say, I'm going to rìmoto, what goods should I bring? ”

Nagato Busi's current identity, if according to the domestic language, he is Zhao Xing's vassal, and Jiao Touch is equivalent to Zhao Xing's "pursuit (steward)", in this sense, the status of the two is the same. So Nagato was not polite, and said honestly: "No, you can't see what the master said when you come to Rìben...... What is the identity of the master, bachelor protégé! Fujiwara Namona is in front of him, and he is only an equal.

You and I can't, I can only take you to the samurai's party, that kind of gathering, I can't see the elegance that the master said, that is the custom of playing among the ministers, we are coarse, we can only kneel at the door and wait for the summons. Selling goods, even worse, there are too many wealthy merchants there, the owner's goods are special, others can't learn it, so they sell it well, but I'm afraid it won't last long - that thing, not everyone can afford to sell! ”

The conversation between Nagato Fusi and Jiao Touch faintly reached Zhao Xing's ears, and Zhao Xing smiled silently.

Why do historians of Korea, Korea, and Vietnam once say: In the second half of the eleventh century, Asia was the Asia of Su Dongpo.

Not to mention the other two countries, Zhao Xing's personal experience proves that in rì, the name Su Dongpo is a stepping stone to high society - no visa, no application, waving a book of Su Shi's poems, all the doors will be open to you. Even the Genji samurai, which has a reputation for tyranny, are desperately trying to prove their elegance while being excluded by the minister, and their main effort is to bow down to Su Shi's literary talent.

"Great officials...... You see, the little old man has a small capital, can he also have a partner, do you think what kind of business does rì have, the capital is both small and big? Rejected by Busi, Jiao Touch stood there thinking for a long time, and asked in a whisper.

"Copper coins, this thing doesn't need to be processed, how much money do you have, our copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are very good in the Wa Kingdom, called hard currency, you can take out your copper coins, transport them to Rì with you, and I will exchange them for gold for you", Zhao Xing suggested.

In this era, the goods of rì were extremely abundant. Currency was needed for commodity circulation, but at that time, the feudal era had just begun, and the various feudal estates did not belong to each other, and no matter which large estate, there was no political or economic power to mint money. Emperor Rìmoto divided all the land, and the minting power was insufficient, but the copper coins minted were of different sizes and weights due to poor technology and copper quality, so that they could not be used as currency and could only be used as copper at the price of the same coin.

By the time of Emperor Ichijo (after 984 AD), the use of rìmoto for its own coinage was completely discontinued. In the Song Dynasty, copper coins became the main currency in circulation in the country. In this era, people did not have the awareness of coinage, on the contrary, the Song Dynasty even banned the carrying of copper coins to foreign countries because of the outflow of a large number of copper coins. The law of the Song Dynasty stipulated: "Those who put copper coins into the sea ship...... Ten runs through two thousand miles, and the servant is apprenticed for three years. ”

If the Song people can have a sense of coinage, then with the concession of Asian countries, he can completely control the economic power of the whole of Asia, and make the whole of Asia pay for his inflation by coining on a large scale......

Zhao Xing's idea for Jiao to smuggle copper coins now is to let him smuggle copper coins and use civil power to quietly cease the value of the currency.

In fact, the technical threshold for minting copper coins is not high, and there have been counterfeit coin makers in all dynasties. When the government's coinage power was insufficient, they even acquiesced to the circulation of private money. The technical threshold for private currency production by the people is far higher than that of the imperial court. Because the new copper coins minted by the imperial court can be directly put on the market for circulation, and the private coins minted by the people also need to add an "old" technology.

Zhao Xing happened to know where in Asia had the highest copper reserves, and the idea of making private currency had been in his mind for a long time, and his proposal just now was actually to secretly encourage Jiao to develop in this direction.

He is Su Dongpo's protégé, or an official member of the imperial court, if he participates in the production of counterfeit coins, it will have a bad reputation. So he simply pointed out the path to Jiao Zhi.

China's copper reserves are insufficient, and the government prohibits the outflow of copper coins, if Jiao Touch makes this business bigger, he will become a professional foreign exchange reverser sooner or later, and then he has no choice but to embark on the road of minting private coins - this technology Zhao Xing happens to know, and there is a ...... in the book "Qi Min Yaoshu"

Jiao Fu pondered for a while, and then asked Zhao Xing about the ratio of copper coins to gold and silver. This is rich in gold and silver, and the exchange ratio is much higher than that in China, Jiao Touch felt that although this business was a small business, it was also very profitable, and heard Zhao Xing faintly mention that if he bought bronze and minted his own coins, then the profits would be more lucrative, and his eyes flashed several times.

"Little Lao'er chooses to ...... there", Jiao Feng pointed to the mountain: "The back wall is against the mountain, which is quiet and cool......"

Zhao Xing smiled meaningfully: "If you make another hole in the back wall, dig out a kiln——"

Zhao Xing dragged out the last note, smiled embarrassedly, and immediately changed the topic: "Daguan, I heard that Huangzhou has sent a letter, urging you to go back, do you see if you can quickly dispose of this batch of goods, I pondered, we have money, add a few more big ships, what do you think?" ”

"How much more do we have left?" Zhao Xing asked. In fact, he knew the answer in his heart, and this question was only subconscious.

Jiao Touch can now be regarded as having an opportunity to complain: "Big official, other people's sales start with the good, and the second goods are all made as partners, but you are screwing everything...... We now only sell a hundred or so miscellaneous pearls, and one hundred and eighty inferior knives, and we get one and a half million yuan. With this money, we have to buy a boat and build a house...... Spending money is like water. ”
