Chapter 477: Yan Zheng System
(Overhauled)
The Han merchants of Malacca City, as the Shunmin of the New Dynasty, were extremely receptive to Yazheng.
It didn't take long for them to complete the plan for the formation of a trading company in Malacca with the assistance of the cadres of Malacca City.
This type of company is somewhat similar to the West Japan company in that they cannot be listed in the East Qin mainland, but they can trade and issue additional shares in Malacca.
In the era of poor information, this dualistic corporate policy, which only emerged in the middle of the eighteenth century, had the advantage of absorbing local capital.
The three major companies of Dongqin can naturally go to Malacca to inject capital into this company.
The city of Malacca is also able to receive the relevant taxes from the operation of the securities market.
As long as this company is established, it means that Malacca's commerce and trade will be more controllable, and local capital will also become a vassal of Dongqin capital.
Yan Zheng himself didn't know so much, and many of the operations were based on the stock exchange on Tanegashima.
After the West Japan Company was put into operation, it provided a large number of practical examples and provided a lot of basis for the adjustment of relevant policies.
Dongqin does not yet have the concept of the Department of Finance, and the Department of Mathematics is currently working part-time as a data compiler, which is equivalent to using mathematical methods to try to study economic laws.
Half a month later, a man-made wall was completed in the city of Malacca, which was neither high nor thick, just a thin layer of red bricks.
It's just that from the day he stood up, he divided this land into two worlds, and the people outside the city didn't even have the qualifications to make up the households.
They are in the Han area, and if they can't find the identity of the Han people, then if they are caught, they will directly become slaves.
A simple fort is also beginning to take shape, and the muzzle of Hesse is coldly facing the entire water.
On the lighthouse, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were holding binoculars and staring at the sea.
After the Malacca City Government had a certain deterrent effect in the fort, it immediately promulgated the "Nanyang Control Act" and the "Declaration of Equal Trade".
The main contents of the Nanyang Control Law are:
The South China Sea is the exclusive sea area of the Eastern Qin, and the Eastern Qin enjoys all navigation and trade sovereignty.
With Manraka as the dividing line, ships from the east and west were not allowed to cross the border, and any trade was allowed only in the city of Malacca.
Except for the naval fleet, only ships with relevant qualifications were entitled to free passage of the ships of the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
The rest of the non-Dongqin ships must report to the Malacca city government to obtain the relevant numbers and qualification certificates in order to trade in Malacca.
Any vessel that illegally crosses the border will be sunk......
In short, this clause is to indicate that ships coming from the east are not allowed to cross the Strait of Manraka to the west to do business, and ships from the west are not allowed to cross here to do business in the east.
Malacca City will open two different ports to them, any trade will only pass through Malacca City, and any crossing of the border will be considered illegal.
This means that the freedom of navigation in the east-west direction of the entire Malacca was taken over by the Eastern Qin, except for the ships of the Eastern Qin, which could come and go freely, the rest of the countries could not!
As soon as this clause was promulgated, it shocked the Asansanjia and the Persian merchants.
Their ships originally ran from both the East and the West, and they liked to trade spices in places such as Majapahit, the Sultanate of Yumu and the Sultanate of Sulu, and they also liked to go to Luzon to buy some Eastern Qin and Ming goods.
This clause is equivalent to restricting them to Malacca, and their ships can only wait for other ships to bring goods to Malacca for trading.
And in this regard, Dongqin has a natural advantage, whether it is the ship of Dongqin or the ship of the Ming Dynasty, it is bigger and stronger than the ship of a small country in the South Seas!
This group of businessmen hurriedly ran to find Hu Jie, hoping that he would come forward to mediate one or two.
In the end, I got a reply, if you want to obtain the right of free navigation, you can obtain a second class nationality!
……
As for the Declaration of Equal Trade, it seems to have little to do with the merchants, and the clause involved roughly means:
Any form of peace treaty, as long as it is under the supervision and adjudication of the Eastern Qin, is in accordance with the diplomatic law of the Eastern Qin.
The territory of each country must be clearly demarcated, and the territorial division and reparations must be paid......
Countries that abide by the trade declaration must negotiate tariffs with Dongqin. The Eastern Qin had the right to establish consulates in other countries, and the laws and royal families of foreign countries had no right to dispose of the citizens of the Eastern Qin.
The currency of Eastern Qin must be able to circulate unimpeded.........
Territory, law, peace benefits, tariffs, trade and currency, as well as a set of norms for the settlement of disputes, amounted to a system of rules.
This is also the first international system in the world today!
Historically, there have been the Westphalian system, the Napoleonic Vienna system, the Versailles Washington system, the Yalta system, and a Bresson dollar system.
The core of the Westphalian system was to set a precedent for the settlement of disputes by peace treaty, and the core involved was the division of territory and the payment of reparations. The concept of the national border is also a product of this system, and the "Treaty of Nebuchu" with the Qing Dynasty in history follows this system.
"High in the Sky"
The Vienna System, which promoted the development of international law, pioneered the form of a "general resolution" and established the normative principles of international diplomacy for the first time. The establishment of the "three-tier diplomatic hierarchy" system for the first time in the form of public international law "unified the ranks of various diplomatic agents".
The Versailles system was the post-World War I international order, and it was purely the spoils of imperialism. This system is a historical regression, deepening the contradictions of the whole world in every way.
The Yalta system is the modern international order after World War II, and it is also the United States responsible for leading the creation, and the dollar system is equivalent to the epiphytes of this system. This system has also set off a wave of independence and, to some extent, promoted equality between nations under international law.
The declaration of equal trade is equivalent to the creation of a Chinese system, which can also be called the Malacca system in terms of the place of first launch.
The core of this system also defines the territory, the validity of the peace treaty, the currency, and so on. But overall, it's an extremely unequal system.
Because Dongqin is both a referee and an athlete in this process, it is equivalent to the law passed by the court house, which can determine whether a country is legal or not.
If it is illegal, it will be excluded from this system, and you can also unite with other forces to blatantly play trade blockade and even invasion!
This is also why, in the old system, if you don't create a new system, then you can only be subject to this system forever.
And the creation of an international order has always been the prerogative of the winner, and the winner can really take it all!

Meaux, Red House.
After Yan Zheng received the news of the announcement of the "Equal Trade Declaration", he immediately summoned Ashin.
In fact, without waiting for Yan Zheng's instructions, Ashin had already figured out this "Declaration of Equal Trade", and he had also put forward opinions on some of its terms.
When he saw the news from Malacca in the Red Room, he asked with a smile, "Does the king want me to go to Nanyang?" ”
"It's a run, but it's not you! Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have any good offspring? Find one to go out and work out. Yan Zheng said with his legs crossed.
Ashin thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency is afraid that those countries in Nanyang will be angry and cut down the envoys, right?" ”
"That's right!" Yan Zheng didn't hide it, "You are my close comrade-in-arms, this kind of risky thing is not worth going!" ”
Ashin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't be out this time, but there really is a candidate." ”
"That's enough, there is nothing else to order on this trip, either follow the Huaxia system, or accept the wrath and blockade from Eastern Qin!"
Ashin bowed, "I understand! This matter is related to the most fundamental interests of the country, and I will definitely make good arrangements! ”
Yan Zheng waved his hand and said, "Take twelve boats this time!" Together with the fleet in Malacca, we must let the entire east of the strait understand that in the future, this South Sea will be our backyard! ”
Now that the gunboats have developed, it's time for naval artillery diplomacy!
