Chapter 290: The Lifeblood of the Economy

[Ran^ζ–‡^Library][]. []. After the development and growth of the bank, its role and significance were far from being as simple as revitalizing and developing the economy of the Great Song Dynasty. 【Ran Library (7764)】

In this era, the Song Dynasty is a well-deserved world economic center, and although it is not strong militarily, it is definitely the most developed country.

It is said that the Song Dynasty is one of the characteristics of the most developed country in the world, that is, the currency of the Song Dynasty, mainly all kinds of copper coins, in today's world, the status and the dollar of later generations are only high.

As long as it is a place of trade, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty are used all over the world!

Wu Zhi remembered that in his previous life, he had read on the news that copper coins from the Song Dynasty had been unearthed in Somalia, Africa.

Not to mention the Greater China circle of East Asia and South Asia, Zhang Fangping, a native of the Song Dynasty, once said, "The money is a Chinese treasure, and it is shared with the Siyi." ”

First of all, the Liao State in the north, although the Great Song Dynasty is eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, but the main circulating coins of the Liao State are the copper coins of the Song Dynasty. ”

It must be a coin, but it is useless to cast, everyone only recognizes the coins of the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention Japan, Korea and the South Seas, at this time in Japan, the well-made Song Dynasty coins have completely replaced the original currency of Japan, so that the Japanese market is in urgent need of Song Dynasty currency, people have to often send large ships full of Japanese local specialties to the Great Song Dynasty to sell at a low price, in exchange for a large number of copper coins back to China.

This also led to a frequent shortage of money in the Song Dynasty, and in some places there was no money in the whole state and the whole county overnight......

The competition for Song money in various countries also led to the Song Dynasty's copper coins in foreign countries The purchasing power is very strong, Wu Zhi once heard people in the Chamber of Commerce say that the consistent copper money, in foreign countries, can buy goods that can not be bought in China.

After learning about these circumstances, Wu Zhi shook his head and sighed, and his determination to open a bank became much more resolute.

Shaking his head and sighing, one is because the shortage of money has seriously hindered the economic development of the Great Song Dynasty, because the mining of copper is limited, and it is not so simple to mint copper coins.

However, this thorny problem can be easily solved by printing more silver bills after the rise of banks.

Another situation that made Wu Zhi sigh should not be underestimated.

It's also strange that the ancients didn't understand the complex financial and monetary knowledge, in fact, Wu Zhi didn't understand it either, but he knew that since all the surrounding countries circulated Song Dynasty coins and regarded the Song Dynasty's copper coins as treasures, it would be a pity that the Song Dynasty government, which controlled the source and ultimate control of all copper coins, didn't do something.

You must know that when the only currency in circulation in a country is the legal tender minted by another country, then the country with the right to mint it is equivalent to indirectly controlling the economic lifeline of another country, and a little trick can make that country's economy lose a layer of skin.

Currency wars are sometimes more brutal than real wars, and even if the dollar is dominant in later generations, each country has its own currency, how can anyone dare not issue a currency and use the dollar throughout the country? It must not be played to death by the United States.

But now, so many countries use the currency of the Song Dynasty, and some of them are still eyeing the Song Dynasty with the intention of invading.

Of course, it is possible that the ancients knew about those methods, but due to the problem of copper ore production, it is somewhat powerless to play monetary means.

These are simple for Wu Zhi, and when the bank's silver bills gradually replace copper coins in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the economy of the Song Dynasty is still developed, then other countries will naturally rush to more convenient silver bills, and when the time comes, Wu Zhi's Great Song Bank, even if it firmly grasps the economic lifeline of the countries.

And the silver ticket is undoubtedly more convenient and fast to print, and when the time comes, the country will not be obedient, and Wu Zhi will let their domestic economy collapse in minutes.

However, this kind of currency war Wu Zhi only knows a rough idea, anyway, it can definitely be done to let the other party's economy collapse, how to do it, Wu Zhi will have to ask professional talents at that time.

…… Everything is still too far away.

After the news of the bank was released in Qingzhou in advance, Wu Zhi ordered Xiao to let Jiang Jing hurry up the preparations, and at the same time hyped up the various benefits of the bank in the newspapers in advance, striving to make the people discuss the topic of the bank every day before the bank opened, and they were looking forward to the opening of the bank......

Play with hunger marketing.

In fact, the local people in Qingzhou, even if they don't use Song Jiang's name, they will rest assured that they will keep their money in the bank, this is Wu Zhi's backyard home, and everyone still gives Wu Zhi this face, because everyone trusts Wu Zhi.

Besides, in this era, the people's money is precious metals, real money, silver and brass money, it is not safe to put it at home, and the family wealth is thousands, once it is stolen, it is the end of bankruptcy, and it is difficult for the government to recover it.

At the beginning, Wu Zhichu crossed over, and the reason why he was able to successfully get Ximenqing's five hundred taels of silver was that Ximenqing felt that after Wuzhi took five hundred taels of silver, he would be able to snatch it back at night.

If there was a bank at that time, Ximenqing would not have been so deceived.

Seeing that Lin Chong and Hua Rong went to Jiangzhou for almost a month, the hardware facilities of the bank have been almost built, and the two big stone lions in front of the door have also been ordered, which can be completed and transported to the door of the bank in a few days.

Although he knew that Lin Chong Huarong and the others would come to Qingzhou a month later, they would already be considered fast, but Wu Zhi was still a little impatient to wait.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Wu Zhi finally heard the news about Lin Chonghuarong in Jiangzhou from the mouths of merchants coming and going in Qingzhou, and if he can hear the news that the two of them are in Jiangzhou in Qingzhou, it means that they are about to arrive in Qingzhou.

I don't know if Wu Zhi asked them to invite, did they succeed in inviting them?

Have you done what you have been told?
