Chapter 229: Discussing Plans

The lady advised: "Yunlang, you have to cheer up. It's actually good to be able to go back to your hometown."

Li Yun nodded: "I have no shame to stay in Meishan any longer. Compared with other people's thoughts and contributions, I feel ashamed. Madam, let's go back to Jiajing and do what he asked me to do well and appease the neighbors.

I believe I still have this reputation."

The lady nodded with tears in her eyes: "Well, let's go back!"

The world is indeed complex, and the development of Fushunjian affects all aspects.

Now Su You is trying to persuade Zhang Fangping to take a smaller step and be more steady.

Zhang Fangping's new policy announcement, due to the principle of economic leverage, brought benefits far beyond the mere sale of Arai's 600,000 yuan.

The 300,000 acres of land were converted into government land, and then into fragmented plots of land leased to homesteaders.

The four-way land tax will increase by more than 100,000 yuan every year.

Nowadays, half of the profits from the mausoleum wells are returned to the court every year, which is now more than 300,000 guan. Similarly, if all ten wells in Fushunjian are developed, the income will be more than 500,000 guan.

Salt is money, liquid money.

In addition, most of the assets of the powerful people in Taijing were deposited in Sitong Company, which further expanded the company's cash pool.

The burden turned into profit, and the four-way finance was instantly relaxed a lot. Therefore, Zhang Fangping's intention was to use these as the basis, plus Jiang Qing's own salt book, to expand the circulation of Xianjing salt banknotes to two million coins.

scale, solving the four-way money shortage problem in one step.

This is what Su You is trying to persuade: "Ming Gong, if you eat one bite, you won't become a fat man. You will only bloat yourself to death."

"New wells have not yet been mined, production capacity has not yet been fully realized, and sales are also a problem, so we can only do it slowly. The sudden release of large amounts of salt will only cause salt prices to plummet and lead to financial chaos."

"Also, iron money is also a problem. A sudden increase in new banknotes will cause a sharp depreciation of iron money. And the owners of iron money are mostly small households, so they will definitely suffer serious losses."

"My suggestion is to set up a four-way bank first, gradually recover the iron money, reduce the amount of minted money, and replace it with new small-denomination banknotes."

"Then use these iron coins as a quantity to set up a salt warehouse and store an equivalent amount of salt as a deposit for new salt banknotes."

"With the salt, these iron coins can be re-refined, turned into weapons, sent to Shaanxi, turned into silver coins, and then returned to replenish the four-way cash pool."

"When the iron money is almost recovered, the four-way deposit warehouse is fully stocked with one to two years of salt production, and Fushun Supervision's production capacity is fully restored, then it will be time for us to fully implement the salt banknote."

Zhang Fangping frowned and said: "Mingrun, I am a little anxious. You tell me that Fushun Supervisor will not miss it. We can fully advance his one year's income and make further progress."

Su You bowed and said: "Ming Gong, you can't gamble with the four-way luck like this. Even if there is a ninety-nine percent chance of winning, it's useless, because we can't afford to lose the one percent."

Zhang Fangping suddenly came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Back then, Haoshuichuan... I was shouting at the court to be cautious, but now, I'm starting to get impatient."

Su You said: "Ming Gong is also worried about the situation of the country. Don't worry, Ming Gong. As long as things are changing in a gratifying direction, this is a good thing. However, this water storage process can only be completed by time. There is no need to rush.

Come."

Zhang Fangping nodded and seemed to agree with this statement: "The four-way income is four million guan per year. Based on this, the goods exchanged every year should be around 20 million guan, right?"

Su You said: "According to statistical data analysis, it is roughly the same. But how many salt banknotes are needed to meet the needs is not counted by everyone. It requires precise statistics and calculations."

Zhang Fangping was a little impatient: "This also requires your exquisite and pure skills."

Su You cupped his hands and said: "Meng Minggong pointed me out. I have read the "On Finance" carefully during this period, and I feel that this kind of salt-based banknotes can be given a name and called credit currency."

"If the amount of currency exceeds the actual needs of the four-way economy, and there are fewer goods and more money, it will definitely cause currency depreciation and cause prices to rise. This phenomenon can be called inflation."

"But things are not just that simple. If you analyze carefully, there should be a certain relationship between the total amount of money, the velocity of money circulation, the total exchange volume of commodities, and the price level. The causes of inflation may be hidden in these data relationships.

.”

"To put it simply, if inflation continues and people's incomes do not increase accordingly, living standards will decline, causing public dissatisfaction and social unrest."

"But it will also stimulate consumption and stimulate people to convert their money into commodities, thereby expanding demand for commodities, then stimulating production and promoting economic prosperity. This is another positive side."

"How to control it and utilize it should be a sophisticated knowledge. Once it is used improperly, it will bring immeasurable disaster to the four roads. But once it is used successfully, our four-way economy seems to have wings to take off.

.”

Zhang Fangping stroked his beard: "So it is better to take advantage of the time when the water is gradually accumulating to find out this set of experience."

Su You said: "Exactly! This is a golden opportunity, because even if there are some problems or deficiencies during the exploration, they will be submerged and filled in the process of water storage, and there will be no catastrophic consequences for the four roads.

Influence."

Zhang Fangping said: "On Finance, it can be further improved in this process."

Su You handed over his hand: "At the same time, I can also free up energy to focus on the other shortcomings of the four routes and make up for them one by one."

Zhang Fangping put his hand on his forehead: "It's so meticulous and pure. I, a book writer, never expected to be so detailed..."

Su You bowed and said: "Ming Gong is a man of great knowledge. He has a clear outline and a broad overview. It is normal to overlook these details."

This flattery made Zhang Fangping feel very comfortable: "What a pity... Man Dasong understands this. After leaving this room, who else is it? I will do it step by step as you said."

Su You smiled and said: "Ming Gong Yingrui, when you commented on my crooked poem, you said it was like walking on thin ice, like facing an abyss. This is really a profound insight, as..."

Zhang Fangping waved his hand to stop him: "Don't flatter me, what are the shortcomings of the four roads?"

Su You said: "There are too many, such as inconvenient transportation, more people and less land, but the first one is that the Fourth Army has insufficient military strength and the soldiers are not trained."

Zhang Fangping said: "The strength of our Fourth Route Army is not only in Southwest China, but you are prospering in the Erlin Department and Dali, and you are still afraid of their changes."

Su You said sternly: "I treat the Erlin Department as compatriots, and we have a good relationship with Dali, but they can only control Yibin and above, and they are all newly attached, and their minds are not yet settled."

"Before the Yi people were civilized, they were afraid of power but not moral. The policies of the Song Dynasty were biased. I think the right way is to pay equal attention to kindness and power. This power is our shortcoming."

Zhang Fangping nodded: "It makes sense. Luzhou is quite unstable, which will have an impact on Shu Salt's export to Sichuan."

Su You said: "Also, the Yi people are now familiar with the four roads. If they are not matched with the force of economic reciprocity, then they will be innocent people who want to enter the bustling city with money, and people will look at them and covet them. Not only will they be harmed by themselves,

Not good, it’s also suspected of inducing others to commit crimes.”

Zhang Fangping nodded: "It makes sense, but the troops are really useless."

Su You said: "And it is also outside the scope of Ming Gong's authority. He can only manage it but not use it. So we don't use them. We use the local archers ourselves."

Zhang Fangping hesitated and said: "It can't be used intensively..."

Su You said: "In fact, there is a basis for centralized use. First of all, after abolishing the Zhengyamen, archers switched to recruitment methods. With this premise, we can recruit volunteers from various villages and use them collectively."

Zhang Fangping said: "Mingrun, don't talk nonsense. If you have no name, you will be the root of trouble."

Su You said: "It's so famous. The Shama tribe is now like a blank piece of paper. We can recruit Han people to reclaim the land, protect it with archers, and enrich the original Shama tribe area."
