Chapter 0194: The Hypothetical Silver Empire
The Song people are actually not stupid, and they have thought about ways to deal with the money shortage. The Jiaozi of Shudi, the Huizi of the Southeast, Lianghuai, and Hubei are the predecessors of the current paper money, and to put it bluntly, it is the embodiment of value. But why did the Song people under it not like to use these Jiaozi and Huizi, even if they dragged a heavy money box, they were unwilling to accept a large denomination Jiaozi?
To put it bluntly, it's still a credit issue. Once there is a credit problem, who will recognize the value of a piece of paper that is already floating lightly? Why did the coins of the Great Song Dynasty be used in Fusang, Java, Tianzhu, and even in the Jin Kingdom? This is equivalent to the dollar banknotes of later generations, and it is precisely because of the developed commerce and trade of the Great Song Dynasty that the value of these currencies has been reflected.
It's the best of times, but it's also the worst of times.
Without the emergence of Li Boyan, the money shortage would only be more serious, and in the later stage, paper money would be overflowing and prices would skyrocket, so it would be a crash. This is why, even on the eve of the outbreak of the catastrophe, Li Boyan must realize the promise of real-time redemption, and convert the annual interest into current interest to the people of Yongzhou.
For the sake of a matter of credibility. In his summer and autumn season, as soon as he had extra spare money, he would go to Jinghu Prefecture to work for relief. Right now, Jinghu's depositors have reached a terrifying number because of Li Boyan's reputation for disaster relief and his signature reputation for cashing money in real time even before the disaster.
What is the money being used for? In addition to a part of the savings, so that they can be called at any time, a large part of it has been smashed into Dongfeng Logistics. The money-making machine, it is also going to burn oil.
As soon as the so-called cannon sounds, there are 10,000 taels of gold, you can't empty the cannon, the cost of this cannonball, you have to have it, right?
Qian Zhuang is not in a hurry. Li Boyan's silver empire and business empire have just completed capital accumulation, and even the leveraged capital is still light, and there is still a long way to go. The economy, currency, these are the invisible embodiment of value, but if these are not supported by industry, just like the masterpiece of the Earl of Oxford, England, it will become a stock market bubble, and once the bubble is extinguished, the entire business empire will collapse.
The bubble burst one day, of course, and Newton, after losing 20,000 pounds, left this passage: "I can calculate the movements of the heavenly bodies, but I cannot predict the madness of man." ”
Now, Li Boyan is doing crazy things!
How to save the Great Song Dynasty, Li Boyan's ambition can be described as crazy! This bloodless currency war will sweep through Jinguo, Mengyuan, Fusang, Java, and Tianzhu at that time!
What the great powers did hundreds of years later, Li Boyan will all be realized!
Capital export, commodity export, then the fangs of the Great Song Empire will begin to appear!
In this game of chess, there will be only one person in the end, and that is Li Boyan! The silver mines in Fuso are like the gold and silver mines in Peru and Mexico hundreds of years later, of course, it is just a huge scam, but what Li Boyan is doing this time is real.
The Great Song Dynasty is now an absolute trade surplus for Fusang, and if foreign exchange flows into the Song Dynasty, it will naturally be an extremely bad result, but what about silver? That's excellent, of course.
In the future, the soft gold of Arabia, the real gold of Africa, the silver of Fusang, and the wealth of the four seas will all converge in the Song Dynasty, and at that time, Li Boyan's money printing machine will be able to run at full power.
The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of financial resources and energy to do it. Right now, Tang Maochuan, the turtle grandson, is still stumbling, and if the Tang family is not allowed to collapse for a day, then Li Boyan will be ten thousand unhappy in his heart. If he wants to consume, then Li Boyan will accompany him to consume!
Nowadays, the businessmen in Suzhou think that Li Boyan is losing money and making money, and they would rather lose money than consume it with the Tang family to the end, but they don't know that Li Boyan is just a thin profit, in addition to the production efficiency of the cloth workshop is the guarantee, there is more Dongfeng logistics as a strong backing, as for retail, Li Boyan is too lazy to do it.
If he wants to collapse the entire Suzhou trade, it's very simple. Weaving like crazy, then selling like crazy! The result of this is that except for Li Boyan, the rest of the cloth merchants are all bankrupt! In the era of the Industrial Revolution, there were not many bankrupt workshops in Europe, and the Great Song Dynasty was now conducive to the rise of Li Boyan.
The advantage of the small-scale peasant economy is that it can be self-sufficient, and the wave of capital basically does not affect the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty, on the contrary, when the development of the commodity economy reaches a certain level, the price of cloth and rice falls, and the living standards of the people of the Great Song Dynasty naturally rise.
Li Boyan is waiting for next spring, and Tang Maochuan is also waiting. As long as the price of silk falls next year and the supply of goods from Wensi Institute increases, the Tang family will be able to recover.
It's just that this autumn and winter, the Tang family is boiling, and in the workshop outside Suzhou, what earth-shattering events are happening that break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly? No one knows.
However, at the moment, Li Boyan has time to fantasize in a daze, because he really can't move......
Since last night, the palace people who went out of the palace to escort him back to Zhao Ruyu's mansion have all been guarded by Zhao Ruyu's mansion, and no one is allowed to visit.
Zhao Ruyu was also full of nervousness, he didn't even ask Li Boyan any questions, he had already experienced the matter of the palace once, and he didn't want to come again, this old bone, it was better to keep the disciple protégé.
The master and apprentice didn't move, but Ouchi did.
The first to suffer was an attendant beside the Emperor. Long Live Mountain is not allowed to enter and exit, and only Zhao Kuo and his father can enter and exit freely. Yu Zhaorong is cautious, and the eunuchs who are selected by Zhao Kuo's side are confidants, there is no reason to be bought, not to mention that when he goes to the garden, he is accompanied by Yu Zhaorong, and there is no inner servant who dares to be bold enough to pick leaves.
Another reason is that the chamberlain next to the Emperor Taishang has been on duty in the imperial dining room, so the suspicion is even greater. In addition to this chamberlain, there were also several imperial doctors who were diagnosed by the Imperial Medical Bureau who died early, although they may all be innocent, but with the purpose of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake and not letting one go, they were escorted to Dali Temple.
In addition, in order to hide people's eyes, Zhao Kuo also escorted several eunuchs and imperial doctors to prison, creating a needle in a haystack and accidentally catching the illusion of really catching people.
However, just when they were about to get closer to the truth, a fire burned into the prison of Dali Temple, and dozens of people were imprisoned, including the cell head, all of whom were burned beyond recognition.
Yu Zhaorong could see the suppressed anger in Zhao Kuo's heart, and even he didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes would be so vicious, once something was wrong, he would abandon his son directly!
Indeed, he was tired.
Such an enemy's secret calculation really made him feel powerless.
"Official, that tree ......"
"Keep it, I'll take a good look! How many rebellious ministers and thieves are picking leaves in this palace! ”
