Chapter 364: Economic Development Needs Stimulation
After listening to Pingzhang Jia, it suddenly became clear that the war can still be fought like this!
It was also a good idea to destroy the livelihood of his opponents------ but instead of saying it directly, he asked them in detail about what they had done in Goryeo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hou Dongfang has been authorized by Zhang Guoan, the island lord, and can truthfully talk about their actions in the northern part of the mainland, hoping to give the Great Song Dynasty a hint that the war can still be fought like this.
After listening carefully, Pingzhang Jia said with a smile: "Your Zhang Island Master is really a talent, and he will use economic means to participate in the war!" ”
Of course, Pyeongjang Jayat was pleased with their behavior in Goryeo, because it was known to the world that the king of Goryeo had already recognized the thief as his father and took the Tatar bandit group as his suzerain.
Ping Zhangjia seemed to think of something suddenly, and he asked: "The armaments you helped the three don't copy the army were all purchased by the other party with gold and silver money??" ”
Hou Dongfang said: "The purchase I mentioned earlier is not using gold and silver money, but referring to all kinds of means of production. My owner thinks that these are far more important than gold and silver money! ”
Ping Zhangjia nodded in agreement, and now at this time, even he is thinking about economic issues, because the practice of Liuqiu Island has given them a lot of inspiration.
During the Southern Crossing period of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty still set up a subordinate affair and issued an official meeting.
Although its face value is indicated by the number of copper coins, it is basically not convertible into copper coins, that is, the credit of the huizi is not guaranteed by reserves, but is guaranteed by the national credit.
Huizi also has the status of legal compensation, and the losing official is also allowed to use it, and it is convenient for both public and private affairs.
It can be said that the meeting at this time already meets the definition of modern credit money.
Theoretically, as long as the Great Song Dynasty did not issue huizi indiscriminately and kept the circulation of money matching the demand of the market, there would be no abnormal inflation in huizi, even if the state did not set up reserves.
In fact, in the first 70 years after the issuance of the official Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Huizi in the early period after the Nandu, the currency value was stable, and the inflation was within the normal range.
As mentioned earlier, there are already paper money, but the Great Song Dynasty has been suffering from a shortage of money.
Even in the era when the Great Song Dynasty was the most politically stable and economically stable, there would be a lack of circulating copper coins in the Jianghuai region, where the commodity economy was more developed and the people were more prosperous!
After arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, half of the territory was reduced, but the lack of money was not alleviated.
In the early stage of Pingzhang Jia Rudao's administration, it was also correct at the beginning.
But in the past two years, it has been strange that the Great Song Dynasty has not minted more copper coins, but the copper coins on the market are increasing day by day.
Originally, the Great Song Dynasty should not have lacked copper coins at all.
They only mint more than 1 million copper coins every year in the copper smelting in Jiangzhou and Chizhou, and the total amount of copper coins minted in the country can even reach 5 million yuan every year!
This amount is more than 15 times the total annual coinage of the Tang Dynasty, which had a much larger territory.
If history does not change, after the Tatar bandit group destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, they exported a large number of discarded copper coins, which for a time actually supported the monetary economies of neighboring countries such as Japan, Goryeo and Cochin.
It's even enough for the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the owner of Zhang Guoan has always believed that the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are definitely a lot in terms of quantity, and the reason why there is a "money shortage" is because a large number of copper coins have not been put on the market for circulation at all, and they are still precipitated among the people.
As for those who go abroad, it is not enough to worry about it, people are not stealing the Great Song Dynasty, but also taking good goods in exchange, the key is that in this time and space, the main wealth of the world is in the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhang Guoan's methods finally attracted the attention of the Great Song Dynasty government, and they finally made new gains in the economic field.
The Great Song Dynasty is not without economic acumen, such as people like Pingzhang Jia Nidao, who also know that Huizi will be worthless if he prints more, and even knows that the issuance of banknotes requires reserves, and there can be a balance of one-third more issued!
Moreover, at this time, they had developed a relatively mature set of "weighing techniques".
The so-called "weighing" refers to the government's use of precious metal currency reserves and other means to withdraw the over-issued banknotes, which is called "weighing", so that the purchasing power of banknotes in circulation remains strong, which is called "mention".
In order to cope with inflation, the current Great Song Dynasty government has repeatedly used the gold, silver, and copper coins from the national reserves, as well as the exchange and goods to return coins and shrink currency.
The various intercessions used by the Great Song government to "weigh and mention" are similar to the national debt of the world.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, actually gave the Great Song Dynasty more means that could be used to use the technique of "weighing".
For example, refined salt, sea salt and spices and cement, as well as a variety of luxury goods and road goods------ especially when some luxury goods appeared in the Great Song market, which stimulated the purchasing power of the big merchants and big families in the Great Song Dynasty, and all kinds of precipitated money yarn were recirculated.
At the same time, the price of daily necessities is falling.
There is also an increased influx of spices from overseas, which has also boosted the consumption of wealthy families.
The most important thing is that the money in the hands of the owner of Zhang Island was not taken directly, but was exchanged for a lot of means of production of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which indirectly returned the money to the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Moreover, everyone has benefited, and on the contrary, money is growing, and goods are increasing.
If the extra money is from the rich family of the Great Song Dynasty, then where do these extra goods come from?
They came from the mountains, from the trees, from the fields, from the sea------ and even from the hands of the craftsman weaver!
If the goods are made between heaven and earth, then they are endless, and it can be seen that money can also be endless!
After careful analysis, Pingzhang Jia seems to understand that this method is far more clever than his own "Gongtian Law"!
It turned out that Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, used the method of stimulating consumption to increase his income------ so why couldn't the Great Song Dynasty government do this? ?
During this period, the war in the Xiangfan area was going on, but due to the stability of the war, Pingzhang Jia Yidao was considering how to use the method of investment by the Great Song Dynasty government to stimulate the consumption of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this time, he received a private message from the owner of Zhang Guoan, and he also knew his plan.
He smiled and said to Hou Dongfang: "What kind of strength does your island owner want my Great Song to do?" ”
Hou Dongfang politely replied: "There is no need to send forbidden troops, as long as 10,000 soldiers can be dispatched; There is also no need for warships, ordinary ships can help with transportation.
It's just that the relevant military supplies need to be allocated. ”
Pingzhang Jia frowned and said, "Don't you need my Great Song to send troops from Yongping Road?" ”
Hou Dongfang said: "No, my island owner said that his own style of play is different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, and he can't form a cooperative ------ on the two roads in a hurry."
Ping Zhangjia nodded, so they only needed auxiliaries and thought about fighting this battle by themselves.
At this time, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What is your island master busy doing now?" ”
Hou Dongfang thought about it and didn't find anything unmotive, so he said: "My owner is building a house and is going to sell or rent it to the people------"
At this time, Pingzhang Jia seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind. (To be continued.) )
