Chapter 193 Business Opportunities
"Money, money, money" is said three times, but it can't be made even if you say it eight hundred times.? Biqu???? Ge
Another thing is to strengthen anti-smuggling to increase the revenue of the Maritime Warehouse. This is an immediate method, but it is not easy to do it. The Maritime Warehouse has become a trend, and the accumulated problems of interception are not discussed. Hainan faces all the seas and has many large and small ports, so it is impossible to completely block the smuggling channels. The navy, which can be the main force of anti-smuggling, is still in the training period, without the hands and energy to do this, and the navy is the key to whether it can defend Qiongzhou. At this stage, taking anti-smuggling is equivalent to suicide.
Zhao Bing thought that these things can be used as long-term goals, but with the current economic situation of the General's Mansion, I'm afraid that it will collapse before it can be waited for. He now needs a way to get rich quickly. Increased taxes is a way, but it is also a way to quench thirst. If forced levy, people's livelihood will become more and more difficult, causing the people's escape and resistance, which is no different from dying. If you ask the court to allocate funds, even if you have a face, you can only allocate some money to respond to the emergency. It is impossible to support you as you used to.
"In April of the 14th year of Zhiyuan, the use of copper coins in Jiangnan was prohibited. The three guans of Song copper coins were destroyed. The guan was 100 guans of Zhongtong. The guan was 100 guans of Zhongtong. " Zhao Bing reviewed the official documents in a distraught manner. He picked up the information sent by the Bureau of Affairs and looked at it. Suddenly, he found such a passage mixed in it.
When the Bureau of Affairs was first established, Zhao Bing regarded collecting economic information as one of his work, and everything involved in price changes, high food owes, taxes, even wages, consumption changes, etc. was all reported. The intelligence officer obviously did not disclose the changes in the money law, such as public information, but just sent it together in these contents, but in his opinion it was different.
In the world of previous lives, the direct purpose of monetary reform was to curb severe inflation and eliminate economic imbalances. On a deeper level, it was to control the capital circulating in the market and monitor the market to re-incorporate the entire economy into the management of the central government, which can be regarded as a major economic activity. The current monetary reform of the Mongolians is only aimed at the original Song Dynasty ruling region, with the goal of promoting its own currency to replace the currency of the occupied countries, thereby achieving economic integration, facilitating the purchase and sale of goods, circulation and tax collection.
Although Zhao Bing didn't know the economy, he also knew that currency reform would cause severe fluctuations in exchange rates. The strong fluctuations in prices would affect everyone's life and often have an impact on their own economy and even the world economy. But this is often a feast for currency players. They will use their funds to snipe the loopholes in currency reform, and make huge profits from the changes in exchange rates and prices. So can they also take advantage of the Mongolians when they implement the Central Government and subsidize the "household"?
Now I have an idea, but Zhao Bing's understanding of ancient currency is still at the initial stage. He only knows that Jiaozi appeared in the Song Dynasty and was the earliest paper currency used in the world. In the end, it caused inflation and lost credit due to excessive consumption. Now there are many such "waste paper" in his mansion, and the subsequent Yuan Dynasty paper currency could not escape the same fate and became a tool for the ruling class to make money, resulting in the collapse of the currency, and the plundered people rose up and launched a massive uprising, which eventually ended the rule of the Mongols.
Zhao Bing knew very well that the goods in his stomach could not be operated at all. So far, I don’t know what the Zhongtong Chaodao looks like, let alone how much it has, and how much it has been done. If I ask questions and don’t know, I can’t talk about making profits from it. However, he is not a conceited person. He knows the truth about asking experts for something, and immediately sends an order to let Zhuang Shilin of the General Bureau come to see him immediately...
"Your Highness, what the Tartars do is to lose money!" After Zhuang Shilin came, Zhao Bing didn't say anything but showed him the announcement copied by the intelligence officer.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Someone who lost money was naturally somebody who took advantage of it. Zhao Bing immediately became interested and asked with a look forward and leaned forward.
"Your Highness, the Huizi in our dynasty is less valuable now. Now the exchange on the market is already a hundred coins and rare forever. It is difficult for us to spend it when we were in Guangzhou. The purchase of goods is settled with copper coins and silver. The Tartars exchanged the Huizi in our dynasty with the Zhongtong Banknote, which is definitely a loss." Zhuang Shilin replied.
"Well, if everyone flocks to exchange for exchange, it will inevitably lead to a grabbing of the Tartars. Wouldn't the Tartars make the Zhongtong Banknote worthless?" The regime changed, and those who seized the power were based on comprehensive elements such as politics and social stability. It was impossible to say wrong to collect some old banknotes in the New Dynasty. However, Kublai Khan offered such preferential conditions and devalued the Zhongtong Banknote in the blink of an eye. Zhao Bing nodded and pondered for a moment and asked again.
"Your Highness, because the subordinates know that the Tartars were in order to increase their efforts to redeem and to appease the hearts of the local people, they often set up qualitative warehouses in the implementation area to store gold, silver, silk and silk as a guarantee, so as to ensure that the value of the Zhongtong banknote remains unchanged." Zhuang Shilin replied, "However, in the past, the Tartars often occupied a small amount of land, and only a small amount of gold and silver could be maintained. Now, Jiangnan has all the hands, and there are more than a thousand kids scattered everywhere. If they still strive to maintain the value of the currency, the price will definitely be great."
"Oh, they are trying to make people fat this time!" Zhao Bing thought that what Zhuang Shilin said made a lot of sense. Kublai Khan used gold and silver as deposit to exchange it. In the late Song Dynasty, in order to raise military expenses and various expenses, he could only make up for the financial shortcomings by printing banknotes when taxes were insufficient. Most of this money was scattered among the people. He quickly adjusted the treasury and would be empty unless the supplement of gold and silver in the treasury was constantly used, which would harm the entire national fiscal system.
"Your Highness is so smart!" Zhuang Shilin smiled when he heard what Your Highness said interestingly.
