Chapter 52: Attack on Japan!
When you close your eyes, you can't tell the difference between day and night, and when you open your eyes, you can't tell the difference between modern and ancient. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Hyundai reached a contract with Tiffany & Co. for a silver deal, Jiang Yin rushed back to the Great Song Dynasty non-stop, and now that the shipping channels are in place, all that remains is to plunder silver from Japan a thousand years ago.
The second time the Japanese caravan came to Cangzhou Port, not only did it take nearly two months, but the efficiency of earning silver was not high enough, and the originally planned silver plunder, if it was only by such a transaction, would not have caused much impact on the Japanese silver market for two or three years.
So Jiang Yin planned to abandon this mode of ocean trading, and instead planned to use a simpler, crude and direct way to obtain silver from Japan - he planned to open a large supermarket directly in Japan, and all the goods in the supermarket were denominated in silver, and then directly from the hands of the Japanese nobles to 'grab' silver.
When Jiang Yin told Cai Changyi about this idea, Lao Cai also applauded, as a modern person who is accustomed to the simple and fast transaction method of later generations, Lao Cai is not used to the extremely low transaction efficiency of ancient ocean trade, and when he heard that Jiang Yin wanted to go directly to Japan to trade and earn silver, he naturally raised his hands in favor.
After some exchanges with the financial team, Cai Changyi proposed a more perfect plan, he planned to put a complete set of Jiaozi currency system of the New Song Dynasty into Japan, if the local Japanese aristocracy bought and sold goods in the supermarket, they could only use the Jiaozi currency of the New Song Dynasty, so that not only could the goods circulate quickly, but also make the money of the New Song Dynasty a necessary part of Japanese life.
After hearing Lao Cai's plan, Jiang Yin's eyes also lit up.
In later generations, there is a kind of aggression called economic aggression, which is a kind of aggression that is tougher than cultural aggression, which will corrode a country's internal monetary system from the outside, and eventually turn the entire country's monetary system upside down through foreign exchange reserves and exchange rate conversion, and then quickly replace the entire country's government's control of national finances through currency.
The reason why the United States has been able to become a world power and endure for a long time is that currency is one of the biggest boosts that have helped it become a superpower.
Once a currency becomes the world's common currency, the government that prints it has a certain ability to control the whole world invisibly.
The most typical example of this is none other than the US dollar.
The U.S. government only needs large-scale printing of money to make the world's U.S. dollar depreciate, although the depreciation of a dollar is very small, but if it is a billion or tens of billions of foreign exchange reserves, the price of depreciation is very considerable.
Sometimes as long as the dollar depreciates, many countries will evaporate hundreds of millions of dollars of assets out of thin air, although these countries are also very heartbroken, but they are helpless, who let the dollar printing press in the hands of others.
Lao Cai's plan was to let the Jiaozi currency of the New Song Dynasty replace the domestic currency of Japan, so as to control Japan financially.
If this idea were put forward in later generations, it would have been impossible to realize it at all, because no country in the world would easily agree to the circulation of foreign currency in its own market, because as long as you have read a little knowledge of economics, you will know that it is an extraordinary death act to use the currency of other countries to circulate on a large scale in its own country.
But this is the Great Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, Jiang Yin has a huge advantage in his hands, he has the top luxury goods that the Japanese aristocracy is eager for, he has a mature and perfect monetary system, and this kind of Jiaozi currency is much more convenient than gold, silver and copper coins, unless there is any genius in Japan, otherwise this kind of economic aggression is 100% feasible.
In the end, Jiang Yin slapped his thigh and decided to attack Japan!
In the Taihe Palace, he summoned the main envoy of the Japanese this time, Ota Yuno, this guy was very panicked every day for the past two days, because Jiang Yin's hostility towards him before made him feel that the emperor of the new Song Kingdom did not like him.
Generally, emperors will destroy things they don't like without caring about them, and the emperor of Japan is exactly like this, so Ota Yuno has insomnia all night long.
Fortunately, this summons, Jiang Yin's attitude towards him suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
Jiang Yin asked him about the richest city in Japan now, as well as some major events that are currently happening in Japan.
Ota Yuno explained all the situation in Japan in 1510, and Jiang Yin also had a general understanding of the form of Japan.
As the capital of Japan, after nearly 100 years of study with the Tang Dynasty, Tokyo Castle is almost a miniature version of Chang'an Castle, where aristocrats and wealthy people gather, and it is the economic and cultural center of the whole country.
Jiang Yin set his goal in Tokyo, and if he wants to control the country of Japan in a short period of time, it is also a good choice to start directly from its heart.
Then in the next three days, Jiang Yin asked Cai Changyi to make a detailed plan, and then recruited twenty Japanese translators from modern times, and then the task of selling goods in Japan will be handed over to them to sell.
After a short period of training, Jiang Yin took Ota Yuno and those translators to the 'Founding Ship' frigate of the New Song Kingdom.
The best way to show strength to civilians is to show them muscles and fists.
Needless to say, the "Founding Number" in ancient times, Ota Yuno had never seen such a warship in his life, and for modern people, the shock of owning a warship was also very great, after learning more about the construction of Jiang Yin's empire from Cai Changyi, this batch of translators recruited from modern times also swore to join Jiang Yin's imperial organization, expressing their willingness to serve here.
Human resources have been solved, Jiang Yin went to Hyundai to buy a supermarket, because of the previous experience of buying a supermarket in Australia, so this time it was even smoother, directly on the site of the original supermarket covered with a red cloth, on the outside circle is being renovated sign, this time Jiang Yin did not buy that kind of extra-large supermarket, but just a small and medium-sized supermarket.
However, for the Japanese aristocracy, Jiang Yin believes that even such a small supermarket can cause a sensation in the entire city of Tokyo.
Everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, and the next day, Jiang Yin first took Ota Yuno and a translator named Wu Chen to Tokyo City, the capital of Japan.
In the most prosperous street in Tokyo City, Jiang Yin picked a large piece of land, and then he spent seven hundred taels of silver to buy this piece of land.....
