Zhu Jishi glanced around at the kings in the palace and said the final word. That's the end of the main controversy over this treaty! In the future, all countries in Greater China must maintain the corresponding armed forces in accordance with the provisions of the treaty and send troops to fight when necessary. Of course, none of the kings dared to stand up and raise objections.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Jishi continued: "For the Chinese countries that do not abide by the "Great China Mutual Defense Treaty", I feel that certain punishment measures should also be given! My view is that the Greater China Commission, elected by the Imperial Parliament of Great China, will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the treaties by the powers. Failure to meet the requirements will be subject to a slight penalty by withholding the country's share of the tariff allocation in the Greater China Customs Union. ”

When it comes to "tariff allocation", we have to mention the Treaty of the Customs Union of Greater China. This is an important treaty related to one of the "Four Principles of Greater China". According to this treaty, trade between the countries of Greater China will not only be free and tariff-free, but the customs customs of the countries will also be uniformly managed, and customs duties (including goods taxes, zero tariffs do not equal zero goods taxes) will be distributed according to the volume of import and export trade of the countries of Greater China.

As soon as they heard that customs duties were going to be withheld, several kings here set their eyes on their eldest brother Zhu Guojie. Among the kings of Greater China, the only ones who can bargain with Zhu Jishi a little now are Zhu Guojie and Zhu Juan.

"Father, there is now an inequality between the rich and the poor in the countries of Greater China, such as Donghua, Beihua, Donghui and other countries. It is difficult to sustain a large army on its own financial resources. ”

Questions for the eldest son. Zhu Jishi had already thought of a solution. "Guojie, I have my own arrangements. The existence of the Great Chinese Empire is naturally to unite and help each other. Rear countries need to provide funding to the Greater China Commission according to the scale of their economies and trade, and then the Greater China Commission will provide funding to those in the frontline countries who are really in need. In addition, in the future, the vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty will also become the common vassals of the Great Chinese Empire, and the tributes they pay will also be used to subsidize the military expenses of the front-line countries. ”

"Father, these are far waters. It may be difficult to quench your thirst. Zhu Guoxiong shook his head slightly. At present, only Japan and Siam are relatively wealthy among the rear countries, but the military expenses that can be shared for the front-line countries are tens of millions of Chinese dollars, and will never exceed 100 million. It's a drop in the bucket! As for the vassal states, the Western Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not have much money, India could not enter, the development of Java had not yet begun, and even if the Persian Kingdom took it, it was estimated that it would not have much benefit.

"Near-thirst can be met by issuing treasury bonds." Zhu Jishi understood what Zhu Guojie meant, he wanted the Ming Empire to use money to subsidize the frontline countries. But Zhu Jishi didn't want to do this, because the difficulties in Donghua, Beihua and Xihua were all temporary. What these three countries need is not long-term subsidies, but long-term financing and investment.

Especially Donghua, Beihua and Nanhua, which will fall into the hands of Zhu Guojie. In the coming decades, it will be a hot spot for investment and immigration in the Greater China Economic Circle! It is certain that the per capita income of the people greatly exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no reason for such a rich country to let the Ming Dynasty subsidize. The current economic difficulties should be solved by borrowing. Let the people of Donghua, Beihua, and Nanhua who will become prosperous in the future slowly repay it. Even if you borrow tens of billions now, it won't be too difficult to repay in the future.

Zhu Jishi saw that most of the kings in the hall were embarrassed, smiled slightly, and said: "I am more proficient in economic things than you, Donghua, Beihua, and Nanhua are actually the real rich countries, all of them are fertile and rich in resources, and the current difficulties are only because the population is too small." And the Ming Dynasty is just 600 million poor people, and it looks relatively rich when they accumulate a lot. As long as the population of Donghua, Beihua, and Nanhua grows, they will soon become rich. Now it is just the rich of the future who are borrowing money from the poor of today! The poor are willing to borrow, and the rich are afraid that they will not be able to pay it back? ”

Zhu Jishi spoke clearly, and the kings of His Highness had nothing to say. Zhu Jishi's sons did not grow up studying imperial arts, but were professionals who studied law, economics, and military affairs, and had an understanding of society and economy. Of course, I know what is going on in the economy of the Ming Dynasty, how rich Donghua was before the war, there is too much food to eat, and there is too much land to divide, and the gold, silver, brass and other rare metals dug out of the ground every year are worth 1 billion Chinese yuan! Now it has acquired the vast Great Plains of central North America, as well as the coal and iron resources of the Great Lakes region and the southwestern Appalachian Mountains. The whole thing is begging for food with a golden rice bowl!

Zhu Jishi continued: "In order to speed up the development of the countries of Great China, which are rich in resources and vast in land, such as Beihua, Donghua, and Nanhua, but there are certain difficulties at present. We will propose the issuance of a unified Greater China currency and the establishment of a unified Greater China financial market. You should know what a financial market is, right? ”

"It's the market for investment and financing."

"It's where bonds and stocks are issued."

It didn't take long for someone to give an answer. Some of the kings here have worked at HSBC and know the value of the financial market - it is a market that can turn money! The reason why Zhu Jishi's rebellion in his early years was so easy was because he first used HSBC to control the entire East Asia and South Seas finance, and smashed hundreds of millions of silver dollars down! And the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they were sweating profusely when they took out a few millions, why did they fight with Zhu Jishi?

At that time, Zhu Jishi did not have a net worth of hundreds of millions of silver dollars at all, and he was using the money "transformed" by the financial industry to collapse the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Now, it is also possible to use the financial market to "turn money" into money to develop the economies of the countries of Greater China -- the currency issued by the Great China Empire, which won the world war, is the international reserve currency of course, and it is completely possible to use the Federal Reserve and international financial control to create or eliminate money, just like the US imperialism in later generations! And the importance of this financial market, as well as the actual control of the Bank of Greater China, cannot be overemphasized.

Zhu Jishi turned his head and glanced at Emperor Zhu Guoxiong of the Ming Dynasty, "Xiong'er, what do you think about the Bank of Great China and the unified financial market?" ”

Zhu Guoxiong smiled slightly, "Great China Bank should naturally be formed after Daming Bank merged with Donghua Bank and New Japan Bank. The shares of Tung Hwa Bank and the New Bank of Japan were acquired by Daming Bank at a high price. The shares of Donghua Bank can be converted into 500 million Chinese dollars, and the shares of New Japan Bank can be converted into 300 million Chinese yuan. ”

At present, in the entire Greater China Economic Circle, except for the Daming Bank, which is controlled by the royal fund, only the Great China Bank and the New Japan Bank have the right to issue notes, and they are the central banks of Donghua and New Japan. Buying these two central banks with 800 million Chinese dollars is naturally a good deal, and the 800 million Chinese dollars are just numbers on the books......

"Jia Xing, 300 million Chinese yuan is enough?" Zhu Jishi smiled and looked at his godson Tokugawa Ieyuki.

"Enough, enough." Where does Jia Xing dare to say half a word? Moreover, the local wealthy state of Xinri has money, and there is no need to use the central bank to change money.

"Donghua, I agreed for them." Zhu Jishi said with a smile. King Donghua is still Zhu Juan, and he is still commanding the final battle in North America, so naturally he has no time to come to Yingtian for a meeting. However, Zhu Jishi still has enough authority to make decisions on behalf of Donghua.

"However, in the future, the Bank of Greater China should still be jointly managed by the countries of Greater China." Zhu Jishi paused and added another one. An unregulated money printing machine is not a good money printing machine!

"The same is true of Erchen, that the directors of the Bank of Greater China and the members of the Monetary Committee should be elected jointly by the countries of Greater China, which have the right to vote according to the size of their respective populations."

Zhu Guoxiong hurriedly agreed, he paused, and said, "Erchen also wants to set up a joint exchange to serve the entire Greater China area, which is not only responsible for bond and stock trading, but also for spot and futures trading of raw rubber, steel, coal, cotton, wool, silk, grain and other commodities. This exchange is located in Shanghai, which is an expansion of the original Shanghai Stock Exchange. In addition, regional trading centers can be set up in San Francisco in Donghua, Tokyo in New Japan, Nandu in Nanhua (Sydney is planned to be renamed Nanto), Singapore in Nanyang, and Xijing in Xihua. ”

"That's what I think too," Zhu Jishi nodded with a smile, "The headquarters of the Great China Bank is also located in Shanghai." With this joint exchange, the countries of Greater China can raise funds through the issuance of bonds, and private and government-run enterprises in the countries of Greater China can also use the exchange to raise funds. The economies of these countries will be greatly boosted. ”

When Zhu Jishi spoke, Zhu Guoxiong, the Emperor of Xuanwu of the Ming Dynasty, squinted his eyes and glanced at the hall, with a smug smile on his face. The world's largest population, the most developed industry, the largest territorial area, and the most powerful navy are all of the Ming Dynasty, and now with the addition of the currency issuance rights and financial control of Wuhua Zhuxia, there are so many hole cards that if you can't sit on the throne of the leader of Wuhua Zhuxia, then you are the biggest fool in the world, and you don't deserve sympathy at all!

Zhu Jishi had already finished speaking at this time, and he also glanced at Zhu Guoxiong meaningfully. So far, the Emperor Xuanwu of the Ming Dynasty has given a more satisfactory answer. It is right to grasp the most critical and beneficial things in your hands, only in this way can you create the most powerful Ming Empire! And what satisfies Zhu Jishi the most is that Zhu Guoxiong did not try to weaken his four potential competitors - the weakening of Donghua, Beihua, Nanhua and Xihua, in fact, it is the weakening of the Great Chinese Empire, and the weakening of the Great China Empire is also the weakening of the Ming Empire! The Ming Dynasty wanted to lead Zhuxia with its wealth and strength, rather than basing its leadership on the poverty and weakness of Zhuxia. (To be continued.) )
