Chapter 313: Commerce
Honglu Siqing is now Xie Yu, and he can be regarded as the secretary of a temple, the person who really calls the shots.
And such a thing as border trade and trade, even if it is to send someone to some small countries, it is impossible for the secretary of a temple to go in person, and it is more likely that he will send someone who is capable of his subordinates, and because of the long journey, this age cannot be too big, otherwise I am afraid that the thing will not be done, and the person will be gone first.
Xie Rongzhao inquired a lot about border trade again, and then she learned that there were many good things in those small countries that she didn't know, such as gems, furs, medicinal herbs, and so on.
"Daddy, if the border trade is opened, will there be plenty of money in our treasury, and the emperor will be exempted from some taxes in the future?"
Xie Xiuwen chuckled: "These are all afterthoughts, we have to look at the front first." Tell me, if we want to open border trade, what do we need to pay attention to? Or what do you need to do first? ”
Xie Rongzhao tilted his head, looking embarrassed: "Daddy, where do I understand this?" ”
"It's okay, it's because you don't understand that I asked you."
Xie Rongzhao thought about it carefully: "I think the first one, I still have to train soldiers!" ”
Xie Xiuwen was a little surprised, this daughter really can't be underestimated.
"Why?"
"For the sake of deterrence, of course! What do you think, this side of trade is mainly to have dealings with other countries, if our fists are not hard, and others are not afraid? Our fists are hard, and they are afraid, so they dare not inflate prices, do not dare not pay taxes, and do not dare to make trouble, only in this way can our trade last, so that the holy silver will continue to come in. ”
Xie Xiuwen nodded with satisfaction, the teaching in the past few years has broadened her daughter's horizons, and she is indeed a different boudoir woman.
Yes, that's important. Gamble thinks long-term. ”
"Hehe, thank you Daddy for the compliment, but I can think of very little, it's good that it didn't disrupt Daddy's train of thought."
"No, it won't. As you said, only when we are strong and strong, those small countries will be more willing to attach themselves to us, so that the relationship is good, and this business matter will be logical. ”
Xie Rongzhao wouldn't have known that Xie Xiuwen would explain this point of view to the imperial front in the imperial study the next day.
"Haha! It's worthy of Xie Qing, even your daughter knows the importance of being strong and strong, but those old pedantic people don't recognize this head, it's really stupid! ”
The saint can scold this, and Xie Xiuwen doesn't dare to second.
"Back to the saint, the little girl in the family is just saying it in passing. In her eyes, this is like children playing games together, and there must be a big brother to deter them, otherwise, it is easy for losers to regret and make trouble. She was young and had never been to the border, so she thought so. ”
"That's pretty good! When it comes to business, we are imperative. When I raised it earlier, you felt that the time was not ripe. Now we are strong and strong, and the battles to expel the Turks at the border pass have also been fought beautifully! What does Xie Qing think? ”
"Wechen is sent by the Holy Lord!"
"Good!"
Emperor Jingwen is happy, and with this capable courtier willing to support, it is not difficult to convince the cabinet again.
"This matter still has to be handed over to the Honglu Temple to prepare first, as you said in the previous excerpt, to send envoys to various countries, and at the same time to unify weights and measures, if it is settled, it should be based on gold and silver."
Copper coins were more popular among the people of the Dazhi Dynasty, but other small countries did not use copper coins very much, some of them used gold coins, some used silver coins, and some used some local grain as the benchmark.
If gold and silver are used uniformly, it will be convenient for everyone.
"Holy Heaven!"
Emperor Jingwen was happy, and in the next few days, the entire cabinet, including Honglu Temple, was so busy that there was no chance to take a breath.
Xie Xiuwen was also even busier because of this, although he was not responsible for some specific details, but the Holy Lord sometimes summoned him three or four times a day, if he didn't prepare at all, it would really be blind.
The Honglu Temple also had to send corresponding envoys to the small countries outside the border, which first had to be proficient in their language.
Regarding the question of candidates, Xie Xiuwen was an invisible person throughout the whole process, he didn't understand these languages himself, so naturally he wouldn't make up his mind blindly, after all, the people in Honglu Temple were more professional.
Because of the border trade matter, now Wang Qinshan and Zheng Ge look at Xie Xiuwen differently.
Of course, Qin Ge Lao and Xie Huaiyi's gaze at him was even more full of monstrous hatred, as if he had pouted the ancestral grave.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than moving their interests.
What everyone didn't know was that Xie Xiuwen and Emperor Jingwen were cultivating the plank road and secretly crossing Chencang.
The two already have a set of charters, but they need Xie Xiuwen to leave Beijing again, this time to go to Jiangnan.
"The big merchants you circled up before are all good, how many copies are you going to sell this disc? What do you want to do? ”
In order to make the border trade more stable development, it is natural that no one can enter and exit the border, there must be a system.
As a result, this trade document naturally came into being.
With this, it is equivalent to being able to enter and exit the border reasonably and legally, and then bring high profits to the family.
"Returning to the Holy Shrine, Weichen means that the price of each trade document is not less than 200,000 taels of silver, which is not only a customs clearance certificate within two years, but also a certificate that can be held in the next ten years. Moreover, these big families, the annual business and trade transactions are huge, only 200,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that it will not take a year to recover the cost, the most important thing is that they can also rely on this certificate to get a shop in the border city, which is not three or five thousand taels of silver can be bought. ”
Since it is to open up trade, it is not only to import things from other countries, but also to have its own country's specialties to go out, such as silk, tea, porcelain, and so on.
The profits of these things are really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The profits brought by such back and forth are enormous, and of course, their contribution to the treasury is enormous.
Emperor Jingwen was very excited, now he was going to let Xie Xiuwen go to Jiangnan, and after selling ten business discs, he would also sell ten more in the capital, he believed that with the ten foundations in Jiangnan, the price sold in the capital would only be high.
"Shengshang, since it is to be done by the imperial court, we can't be too clear, according to Weichen's intentions, why don't we make a bid, so that those merchants will feel that the imperial court's price is too high, what do you say?"
Emperor Jing Wen felt that this was okay, after all, he didn't want to be scolded for being a faint king who was greedy for money.
But if the dish was stirred up by the merchants themselves, it would be none of his business.
"Okay, Xie Aiqing's plan is very good!" (End of chapter)
