Jia Laogou showed Liao Yingzhong the photos of the gold.

Liao Yingzhong was also in a trance, he had never seen so much gold before!

But, he said, "These things must be alien, and they may have a long history, and it would be a pity if they were melted into gold nuggets......"

Jia Laogou rolled his eyes, where was he looking at some antiques...... He said: "Have you ever seen the precious metal standard that they mentioned in the Liuqiu Times? ”

"Liuqiu Times" is a must-read in every issue of Liao Yingzhong...... He said: "I have seen that the issuance of a banknote must be collateralized by a piece of gold and silver, so as to ensure that the holder of the banknote can not only buy rice and grain, but also exchange gold and silver from the money bank......

"How is that different from buying some gold and silver ornaments from a treasure shop with paper money?"

“…… Different also. Gold and silver jewelry has a high price and low price, plus the craftsman's labor costs, selling costs, the gold and silver standard roughly refers to the gold and silver bars that can be exchanged for gold and silver bars. ”

Well, Jia Laogou felt a little more understood, and this trip to Liuqiu Island turned a scholar who was once dedicated to collecting ancient books into a character who understood economic principles...... That's a rare thing.

Jia Laogou said: "Some ministers said that only by expelling the flow of paper money can the scourge of high prices be lifted. ”

Liao Yingzhong laughed and said, "I don't expect Pingzhang to agree to this...... This is, at this time, it is still the time to contain the Tatar bandit group with the help of Liuqiu Island, although both sides are mortal enemies, but the interests of Liuqiu Island are at sea, and the owner of the island is already king, he is still a businessman, the businessman is short-sighted, and does not know the righteousness...... That's a big deal!

The second is that at this time, relying on Liuqiu Island to import grain, dried fish, dried meat, livestock, timber, etc., to our Great Song Dynasty...... In the past, there were no more than one out of ten farmers with large livestock in the countryside, but now, there are three or four out of ten!

Pingzhang once farmed, so you can see the importance of animal power to farmers......

The third is that the grain price of the Great Song Dynasty has indeed been lowered somewhat, which is suspected of hurting the peasants, but those small families are not too affected now!

Some of them have changed to peanuts, peppers and other economic products; Some even rented or mortgaged their fields in exchange for capital to go to Liuqiu Island to find a way out...... I've heard that there are many who succeed!

What the owner of the island said about giving people the opportunity to choose with their feet, could it be that he was talking about this?!

Those who have land can expand their planting, taking Guangdong West Road and Fujian Road as examples...... The people who rented the fields there could just expand the cultivation of sugarcane, and they would have made a lot of money, if it weren't for the sugar beet produced by Shandong East Road and Australia, the sugarcane production on Liuqiu Island alone would not be my opponent of the Great Song Dynasty!

If you drive away the flow of banknotes, you will tear your face with them...... I don't see it. ”

To be honest, after listening to this statement, Jia Laogou thought for a long time and didn't speak, in fact, he mainly considered the first one, and other things are not worth mentioning.

The position he stood on was the position of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it was a major matter related to the life and death of the country.

What's the money?!

However, when he examined what he said, the latter two were not trivial...... There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood.

He asked, "If I threaten them to provide a place for gold to be produced by driving out the banknotes...... Is it feasible? ”

Liao Yingzhong couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Pingzhang is like an elephant...... What is Gold? The silk spit out by my Great Song silkworm is gold: the tea leaves that grow on the tea tree are gold; The porcelain sintered in the kiln is gold!

With these three things, you can make Liuqiu Island obediently send gold and silver...... Pingzhang didn't know, that Zhang Island Master once used gold to buy tea leaves from a few tea trees, and he also used silver to buy tea oil produced somewhere!

As long as I encourage the people to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, plant tea and build kilns, and use the words of the saints to educate them, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment and know filial piety...... How is it that gold and silver don't roll in?! ”

Well, this big statement is well-reasoned and well-founded, and it makes people speechless.

After all, it is not very upright to do coercion...... No matter how reasonable it is, you can't just watch Liuqiu Island play and get gold, but you don't play with Da Song, right?!

I have to think of something else......

Jia Laogou also handed over this task to other staff, and the solution must be thought of:

How can you get enough gold like Liuqiu Island without hurting the harmony between the two sides.

Strikes are always double-hitting...... Soon after, another batch of photos came out of Liuqiu Island, the same colored, and all gold!

Those gold products were definitely not of the previous type, and the style was even more bizarre, not to mention, they were piled up on the ground as high as a hill...... At least two positions higher than the soldiers guarding next to you!

Maybe it's because the coloring technique is too good this time, and the gold seems to reflect the colorful colors...... Don't let people take a breath?!

Wealth is moving, it's only been a few days, where did you find a lot of them?!

Jia Laogou listened to the strategies of his staff, and none of them could be implemented...... Secretly send someone to rob it? Clearly let them give? Borrowed in the name of connoisseurship?

None of this will work, don't treat those merchants like children.

The finances of the Great Song Dynasty also need those gold and silver...... How many royal clans are in a hurry, if this problem is not solved, he is afraid that the good situation will be ruined by someone with a heart?!

Jia Laogou himself really didn't let those gold fool him too much...... He sometimes hates those short-sighted businessmen who flaunt their wealth indiscriminately!!

Without these photos, where would there be so many people hooking up to get into trouble?!

Jia Laogou was helpless, so he had to honestly write a secret letter, secretly accusing the other party of not having two taels of sesame oil in his stomach...... That's what it means, and then he proposed to cooperate with Liuqiu Island again to find a way to find gold and silver together...... Da Song can contribute people and materials, and when the time comes, they can share the results proportionally.

The secret letter arrived safely and quickly on King Zhang Anguo's ebony desk.

He opened it and read the letter, and immediately rejoiced, and called out to the other friends.

They fished by flaunting their wealth, and finally caught a big fish!

Wu Dapeng said happily:

"See? Jia Pingzhang finally honestly asked for cooperation, how difficult it is!

This time, they don't have any more intrigues and no need to be clever...... The last time they cooperated, they still thought in their bones that they had taken advantage of us and took the opportunity to get rid of the burden of the van army!

The second collaboration was very significant......"

Song Ziqiang said: "What is extraordinary? What he Lao Jia wants is to get benefits for the powerful in the name of the country, didn't you read what he wrote in the letter, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Overseas Company...... He also wanted to take the path of the Great Song Dynasty government to fund and make a fortune for the emperor's relatives and uncles, so that the royal treasury could be enriched! ”

Wan Shida interjected and said: "Big things are mentally retarded, and small things are treacherous...... At least until now, we haven't seen them come up with such a choice again, and the times have really changed a lot by us! ”

This is the truth, the Great Song Dynasty really doesn't know how many similar things have been done in the history of the nation, and every time there is a major event, it is confused, and every major choice is wrong...... Ordinary little things, pay attention to playing a trick at every turn!

Even horse racing, which is such a normal sports gambling activity, does not have to follow the rules of the race and play a game of strategy to be comfortable...... The point is that I am embarrassed to say it afterwards, and I am still regarded as a model by some people!

So this collaboration is of great significance, both at the beginning and during the process, and it may be a marker.

Zhang Anguo hugged his shoulders and watched his friends talk, feeling happy in his heart.

He has already prepared his friends' homes, and they are in the vicinity of his house, so it is very convenient for everyone to contact.

There may be a separation later, but that's for later.

The second shipment of gold was delivered by the eastward support fleet, which was a little earlier than the westward support fleet.

PS: Thank you for the reward from Jiangling, a book friend.
