Chapter 358: Pretending to be confused

The Minister of Customs and Trade, Kwok Chi Yan, and the Minister of Finance, Koo Kim-shan, led the industry successes...... and their exploits were introduced at great length in the Liuqiu Times.

What is the total tonnage of daily imports and exports hitting a record high, and the total annual import and export volume is expected to exceed 10 million tons...... What economic situation is not a small good but a big good, the stock flow index broke 200 hundred, in order to maintain economic stability, this year is going to print 400 million yuan banknotes, and so on.

Well, King Zhang Anguo really saw all these news.

He laughed in his heart, these two boys began to learn to divert their attention.

Daily throughput exceeded 30,000 tons?

In addition to the ships that regularly arrive every day to transport kerosene and its crude oil, and the regular arrival of thermal coal and its coke and hardwood resources, there are only about 20,000 tons left.

A large seaport with 500 deep-water berths can handle no more than 30,000 tons per day...... Of course, this data can't be compared to the world on that side...... Guo Ziren's method of simplifying the entry and exit procedures is still good, and the overall operational arrangements are quite reasonable.

Let's wait for a chance to praise him.

Gujianshan's banknote printing plan is also feasible...... At present, the benefits of the frenzied expansion of the Federal Empire are revealed, according to the standards of this time and space, the Federal Empire basically uses the material resources of the world, so these extra printed banknotes can fully guarantee that they can correspond to the materials and precious metals produced, and will definitely not cause inflation, but will form a benign stimulus.

As for Gu Jianshan's strong request for the depreciation of the Great Song Dynasty banknotes, King Zhang Anguo wants to wait...... Because there are still political accounts to be settled.

At the national level, economic issues must be linked to political issues.

The Quiet Queen is interested in another statistic...... When she saw that the attendant was not with her, she said happily:

"Anguo, come and see! The latest household registration statistics released by the Great Song Dynasty Government...... They have more than 34 million households and a population of more than 150 million...... The number of acres of land exceeds 600 million mu! ”

That's an impressive statistic!

Among the prosperous dynasties, the land area of the Great Song Dynasty was the smallest, they only had 2.8 million square kilometers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the Southern Song Dynasty there were only 2 million square kilometers left, and the land south of the Yellow River purchased earlier was only more than 2.2 million square kilometers.

The land area of the Han Dynasty was 6.09 million square kilometers, and the land area of the Tang Dynasty was 12.37 million square kilometers!

In real history, their population at their peak was only 100 million, and the number of acres of land was only 460 million mu...... Moreover, if the Tatar robbers were allowed to go south, their population would have become 50 million!

So, Queen Quiet was really happy, they saved almost 100 million people!

King Zhang Anguo smiled and said: "We have been here for more than 20 years, trying our best to promote high-yield crops, trying our best to contain the Tatar robbers, and in vain to add a generation of peace to the Great Song Dynasty.

100 million people, not much, not much...... You haven't counted the population they emigrated to us. ”

Australia is now a hotspot for immigrants, where the dream of finding a mountain of gold and the reality of cultivating farmland and starting a ranch really attracts a large number of people.

The Nankai region is now in a hot area, and at first, King Zhang Anguo was shocked to hear that there were gold mines there, thinking that someone would really discover South Africa's important resources in the northern region.

But later it turned out that it was just a rumor from someone with a heart...... But he didn't debunk it, and let the relevant rumors fly everywhere.

Gold and silver are moving.

The influx of large quantities of precious metals added great courage to the reprinting of paper money in the Federal Empire.

As long as the Federal Empire's banknotes can be exchanged for real money or supplies, then it will always stand strong...... Of course, this is also Gu Jianshan's confidence in wanting to suppress the Great Song Dynasty banknotes.

Queen Jing said with emotion: "Da Song also treated us well and gave us a chance to develop. ”

The Great Song Dynasty has always been good to merchants, especially to overseas merchants, this is their historical tradition, and there is no need to cite examples at all...... Zhang Anguo and his brothers really didn't thank anyone for this.

This is inherently a win-win development.

Queen Quiet continued: "If they do not give the people the opportunity to move freely, we will have no chance of development." ”

King Zhang Anguo said with a smile: "In a society that worships merchants, the population must move freely, and their household registration is only used as data for tax collection...... Don't forget that they cheated us last time, and now they're secretly printing banknotes to steal our supplies. ”

Yes, Jia Laogou used Li Daitao's strategy to dump the pot of war on the Federal Empire, and then continued to secretly trade with the Tatar bandits, and even provided a large amount of supplies to the Tatar bandit organization in order to get a little northern land, so that they could survive all the time......

At present, some officials in the Great Song Dynasty government think that it is unfair for the private Great Song Dynasty banknotes to be exchanged for the banknotes of the Federal Empire at a ratio of 1.5 to 1, and they do not review their own monetary policy, but think that the Federal Empire is taking advantage of the Great Song Dynasty, and have been talking about controlling the banknotes of the Federal Empire.

King Zhang Anguo once wrote to Lao Jia to explain the rationale for the issuance of paper money, reiterating that it was the Great Song government that took advantage of the federal empire, not the other way around.

This reason is very simple, you have to have more materials and precious metals to print banknotes, otherwise, you are robbing the people's property and a national thief.

King Zhang Anguo believed that Lao Jia could understand the truth, and there were some knowledgeable and conscientious officials in the Great Song Dynasty government who mentioned similar truths.

This does not require much advanced economic theory, common sense is sufficient.

Lao Jia replied many days later, in which he vaguely mentioned that without the support of the Great Song Dynasty, there would be no reason why the Federal Empire would not be what it is today...... But there was no mention of the printing of banknotes in the Great Song Dynasty.

Using the method of printing money to solve the problem is an addictive behavior, and there has always been a federal empire at the bottom, so the Great Song Dynasty government did not feel unfair.

On the contrary, he thinks that the rebuttal of the Federal Empire is a bit calculated...... Without the Great Song Dynasty, where would there be the development of the Federal Empire?!

Without the Great Song Dynasty, Liuqiu Island is still a desolate overseas island, and there is no chance to give it such a strange name, to be called the king of farts.

Well, at that time, King Zhang Anguo had to acquiesce in their cheating behavior...... This is already a good dynasty and government, and it cannot be too demanding.

After more than 20 years of rapid development, the current federal empire is no longer what it used to be...... According to the census just passed, the total population of the Federal Empire exceeded 10 million, including the various slaves who had not yet been granted free status, the Goryeo and Japanese laborers who worked in the territory of the Union Empire all year round, and the Incas and Mayans who could have been reformed!

Of course, this figure is too optimistic...... But that's really not bragging.

Previously, the dozens of selected boys and girls they had brought with them from the Inca kingdom had been educated for about three years.

At present, their academic performance is not much different from that of children of the same age, but they are more successful in field activities.

What does this mean?

Even the people of Nanyindi Anzhou, which has been separated from the mainstream area for so long, can be educated and transformed, so who in the world can't be changed?!

Of course, this has to be done except for some guys with ulterior motives, and some people in the Great Song Dynasty government are pretending to be confused, taking advantage of the federal empire.

They had discussed in private, anyway, the people of the Federal Empire could always find a lot of gold, silver, and supplies...... King Zhang Anguo once carefully published the book "Principles of Economics", and published a large number of them.

In the book, he explains a lot about monetary theory in straightforward language.

The main officials in the Great Song Dynasty government have read it, and I heard that Lao Jia has read it word for word with a magnifying glass...... But judging from the results so far, it doesn't seem to be of any use.
