Chapter 389: Child! Stop it
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Li Loushang, the left attendant of the household department, also immediately came out of the ranks, "The opening of maritime trade, no matter which dynasty or generation, will not be mentioned, and the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Liu Shuyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was listed, "If there are officials or businessmen in this dynasty who collude with foreign powers, it will seriously affect the safety of the country. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Dong Jiannian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also hurriedly came out, "I heard that other countries are rich in minerals, among which silver and copper ore resources are very sufficient, if they flow into this dynasty, it will have an immeasurable impact on the currency of this dynasty." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
......
None of the ministers supported it, and judging from their analysis, it did more harm than good.
Otherwise, for so many years, why has the imperial court not opened the sea market? Here's why.
Su Jinxun only felt that the beads of sweat were confused, this kid was simply speechless, and he really spoke freely? Are there any ideas that you won't discuss in the house?
The emperor glanced at the silent Su Yizhao, and saw that she was not in a hurry to refute, and was a little disappointed in his heart.
"Zhuangyuanlang, what do you think?" The emperor's tone was no longer as kind as before, and even more majestic.
Su Yijue and Meng Lingxi couldn't help but wipe a sweat for Su Yizhao, I have to say, Su Yizhao's courage is indeed great, but is he too honest?
Say some innocuous little proposals, you can fool the past, I believe the emperor won't be too embarrassed for you, right? After all, today is a grand ceremony!
What I said before wasn't very good, so why pull out the sea market after that?
"Your Majesty! In ancient times, many problems encountered in it were solved one by one. In the process of changing the law and reform, it is certain that we will encounter difficult problems. When you encounter a problem, you can solve it, and this is the only way to progress. ”
Su Yizhao heard a heavy cough from in front of her, and glanced to the left front, but saw Su Jinxun squeezing his eyebrows at her.
She didn't pay attention to it, but arched her hand to the emperor.
"Your Excellency has a point!"
Su Jinxun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and those who know the times are Junjie! At this time, bow your head, no shame!
"Because these are all difficult problems that need to be solved, the minister has summarized the three most important points according to your lordship."
Su Yizhao's words almost made Su Jinxun angry, child! Stop it.
"First, the opening of the sea market is not conducive to the control of merchants; Second, some people will take risks for the sake of profit; Third, it is not conducive to the circulation of money and is in danger of inflation. ”
"Inflation?" The emperor muttered a sentence, and the word used had some meaning.
"You're right, so how do you solve these problems?" The emperor is a little interested, does Su Yizhao still have a backhand?
"Emperor Qiqi, let's talk about one of them, ruling and controlling merchants is a problem for all dynasties. Not to mention far away, such as the salt gang, the tea merchants, etc., those people who have repeatedly committed dangers, and are not afraid of the law at all, that is, because of profit. ”
"Oh! So what do you do? ”
As soon as the emperor said this, Su Yizhao wanted to laugh.
Emperor? You're a professional, aren't you?
"These are all afterwords, and they can be solved in a few words, so let's go back to Haishi first."
Su Yizhao's words made everyone collectively roll their eyes, didn't you mention it yourself?
Where can Su Yizhao say so much now? Then she has to take her time, otherwise how will she be promoted?
"The opening of the sea market can set up a nearby imperial sea trade chamber of commerce, send heavy troops to guard, and the ships of the passing merchants will be taxed according to one percent of the assets on board."
One percent tax? There are already officials who are calculating in their hearts, this is too little, right?
"Merchants who enter and leave must become members of the Chamber of Commerce and strictly abide by the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. And which country you go to must be registered, pay taxes separately, and you are not allowed to enter a country other than the registration. ”
Speaking of which, Zhu Hongchang already has objections.
He couldn't wait to ask, "But after going to sea, which country did he go to, how do we know?" ”
"There's a clearance paper! This brings us to the preliminary preparations. ”
Su Yizhao said confidently: "Before that, establish a chamber of commerce as soon as possible, and send chamber of commerce officials to other countries to negotiate and establish friendly relations with other countries." As soon as they board the dock in their country, they must be registered. ”
"It is also possible to send officials of the DPRK to guard the docks of other countries, and if they do not have the seal and signature of the DPRK on the customs clearance documents, they will not be allowed to enter the customs."
What Su Yizhao said is actually similar to those embassies in his previous life, of course, there are not so many responsibilities, he only needs to control the shipping of this dynasty.
"There is also the most effective way, after this out, you must come back with some treasures from other countries. For example, jewelry, porcelain, etc. As long as it is from any country, it will have obvious characteristics and imprints. Anyway, after coming back, checking the goods is the most basic, and you will know it when you check it. ”
"Since the Chamber of Commerce has been established, it is certain to ensure the safety of businessmen outside. If the other country violates the agreement, the transaction will be terminated. This will not only protect the merchants, but also increase the tax revenue of the treasury, which will be mutually beneficial. ”
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility.
Even Su Jinxun was not wiping his sweat, but looked thoughtful.
"Businessmen are very profitable, and although the regulations are very strict, for them, it is profitable, and of course they are eager to do it."
Su Yizhao's words were demagogic, the emperor touched the dragon chair, and suddenly felt a little moved, what's going on?
"Secondly, if the officials of the DPRK who are stationed in other countries can control it well, for example, merchants who sell and buy goods must be registered there. Record the background of the seller and the buyer in detail, who they contacted, and strictly control the time limit, so I don't think there is anything to worry about. ”
Su Yizhao pondered, and then did not add: "It's just a currency exchange, and the two sides are forbidden to enter the customs except for the envoys and merchants." ”
While talking and sorting out his thoughts, Su Yizhao put forward a third point.
"As for the final influence on the currency, as long as the imperial court strictly controls it, any gold and silver objects or jewelry must be strictly proportional to enter and exit the customs. In fact, it is bartering, and it is not allowed to trade in any form of gold and silver. If that's the case, it shouldn't have much impact. ”
There was silence in the hall for a while, and the ministers who had been strongly opposed to it had already begun to calculate how much profit those trades would bring.
"Of course, the most important point is that the purity of gold and silver and other ores must be improved in this dynasty. As long as it is purer than other countries, it is only circulated in the DPRK, and no currency transactions are allowed to be used externally, then inflation can be eliminated. ”
This analysis aroused the emperor's heart, if the sea market was really opened, the treasury would be quickly filled.
Nothing is as fast as the sea market and the border market to get money, if he can come to the money like this, then what is he saving money for?
