Chapter 426: Confusion

Whether it was Yang Bangyi or Qiu Yi, the two of them would never have imagined that there was a deeper meaning to Gao Feng's move, and if they knew, they would definitely not be able to accept it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Still, they were impressed by Gao Feng's description. At present, although the domestic business is still far from saturation, there are so many merchants that it is only a matter of time before they want to radiate to all corners.

There are businessmen in China, of course, they don't have to go out to do that useless work, if they want to expand their business, they can only open up overseas markets.

At present, only Takei Ichichi, who has overseas business dealings with this county, although the rest are also eager to try, but due to the restrictions of the Great Song Dynasty and the intention of Gao Feng, none of them have been able to reach a cooperation intention, including Goryeo.

Although there are risks in going out to do business overseas, the profits are greater, and Gao Feng used this kind of profit to impress the two of them. Of course, he still avoided the risk and made the two of them believe that the matter was not a big deal.

The two of them would never have thought of Gao Feng's selfishness, even if they reported this matter to the imperial court, no one would think of it, after all, Gao Feng is still the lord of a county, and he has a great future, and there are huge workshops and many relatives at home, such a good situation, how can Gao Feng have another thought? No one will worry too much about killing.

Gao Feng took advantage of this psychology, others were not worried, but he was always worried, for fear that he would fall into a catastrophe if he was not careful. He has the ability to develop his strength, but because he is controlled everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, he must find a quiet corner to carry out secretly.

The reason why he found such a legitimate reason to secretly cross Chen Cang was also to avoid arousing everyone's suspicion, after all, it was true and false, and no one could figure out which one was true.

With the approval of the two of them, the next thing is much easier, the government can easily issue documents, and can ensure that the ships, personnel and materials are unimpeded all the way in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and within a few days, more than a dozen sea ships will leave the coast of the Great Song Dynasty and go eastward.

As for whether the court agreed or not, Gao Feng didn't care about it at all. This is the first time to go to sea, under the guise of exploring the way, and no one will bother with such a trivial matter.

Ni Yuchen, Wu Jue and Hu Bao all went, and also brought some sought-after commodities, food and engineering personnel, as well as a thousand village soldiers and weapons and equipment developed by Gao Feng that had never been available, as for the original nearly 1,000 crew members and Han Qiang and the facilities on the ship have not been counted, as soon as this group of people set off, it is definitely a powerful force that can change the color of the entire sea area.

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, the peak will not let them easily show in front of everyone. Their identity is businessmen, and businessmen must have the consciousness of businessmen, that is, they should be harmonious and make money, and they should still show their duty in public places.

As for those who really don't have long eyes and dare to come up to find trouble, they will naturally not be polite, once they lead the enemy to a secluded place, they will definitely be able to eat the other party to the bone.

The first stop of the fleet is naturally Jeju Island, and after arriving there, the situation will be stabilized first, and then the Goryeo will be moved forward in the name of merchant ships, which are all agreed in advance, even if there is a change in the middle, as long as the general direction remains unchanged, Ni Yuchen will make the decision.

Of course, in order to grasp the information in time, Gao Feng still let them bring carrier pigeons, so that he can also know at any time.

In order to cooperate with this operation, and in order to divert the hearing and hearing of the imperial court, as soon as the fleet set off, Gao Feng secretly wrote to the imperial court, in which he told one thing, or rather a story, that is, the story of sheep eating people.

The story comes from the enclosure movement in England in later generations, saying that after the wool weaving industry was invented, it was deeply loved by the aristocracy, the demand for wool surged, and sheep raising became a very profitable business, so the nobles enclosed the land to graze sheep and forcibly enclosed the land of the peasants. When the peasants lost the land on which they depended, they became impoverished, wandered or starved to death, which is the famous story of "sheep eating people" in history.

Gao Feng certainly processed the story to show that sheep farming can do a lot of harm to a country to a certain extent.

The reason why Gao Feng told this story was also to expect the imperial court to implement a national strategy, that is, to weaken some hostile countries with the economy, and even to achieve the goal of destroying the enemy countries.

The biggest threat of the Great Song Dynasty still comes from the north, the Liao State, the Western Xia, and the Jin State that has just been founded and performed well, the biggest advantage of these countries over the Great Song Dynasty is that the personnel are fierce and have strong cavalry, and its disadvantage is that the cultural heritage is poor and the country is poor.

Gaofeng's intention is to take advantage of this advantage and disadvantage to provide what it needs and eliminate its strengths.

Aren't you poor? Well, let's do the deal, and I'll buy your wool at a high price. Horses are strategic commodities, sheep can be used as food, wool is nothing to everyone, and in the absence of textile technology, it is of little use, let alone used for money.

As a result of the large-scale purchase of wool, there will be a phenomenon that the wool will rise all the way, the wool will rise, and the natural increase in sheep raising will occur, and over time there will be a situation where sheep and horses compete for grassland, and if this situation really occurs, the purpose will be achieved.

Of course, Gao Feng also has to give the court a confidence, the wool can't be bought in his hands, it has to be able to give the court a huge profit, with it, the court will have another way to make money.

Say a thousand, say ten thousand, Gao Feng wants to take the wool into his own hands. He has advanced textile technology, can spin wool, and at the same time can make wool linings and wool pants, so that a change of hands is dozens of times the profit, with this transaction, the development of the county will go to a higher level.

There is another thing that is going on at the same time, that is, Gao Feng is preparing to try out a new currency in the county.

In fact, he has mentioned this matter in the previous letters, the court from the initial opposition, to the later did not object, but did not immediately agree, only said that let him make a sample to see the after-effects.

This time the peak is to send the sample, and at the same time again tell some pros and cons and tips.

That's right, the Summit Plan is all about silver and copper dollars. This is a new addition to the copper standard currency, and it is also a preliminary move that he plans to use as the main currency in the future.

Nowadays the circulation is copper coins, its face value is small, and after the string is huge, the weight is not light, a hundred can hold a large box, it takes several people to lift. Although the imperial court issued a large amount of money for it, in fact, it still could not solve the dilemma of large-scale trade, and a large transaction could only be realized by pulling a large amount of money.

The silver dollar is different from the copper dollar, one copper dollar can be used as 20 copper coins, and one silver dollar can be used as a consistent coin, although it cannot completely solve the problem of large trade, relatively speaking, it can alleviate this situation.
