Chapter 384 Daqin North American Trading Company

America, this is a rich place.

Many people say that this is a place favored by God, and countless good things have been produced.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and many other high-yield crops are grown in the Americas.

How could Sun Jie give up such a rich place?

In the following time, Zhang Dazhi built a small house not far from the coast. A plaque was hung on the house, which read: "Daqin North American Trading Company".

What did industrialization bring?Is it rich?Is it prosperity?
It is true that these things are all additional products brought about by industrialization.

In the final analysis, it is not these things.

What brings is capitalism, but the capital market, capital trade.

Capital society was born out of feudal society.

Compared with feudal society, capitalist society has many advantages.

Although Sun Jie was the emperor of this empire, he did not stop this kind of social change from happening because of the power in his hands.

In a way, he is even promoting the emergence of this social structure.

Of course, capital society is not Sun Jie's ultimate goal, his ultimate goal is the country with shining red stars.

If the steps are too big, it is easy to pull the egg, so you have to walk step by step first.

In this era, there is no Marx, no Lenin, and without that environment, it is almost impossible to change from top to bottom, or from bottom to top.

Therefore, you must take your time and not be too anxious.

If it's all up to Sun Jie himself, what about after Sun Jie's death?

Everything will return to the original state, so wouldn't Sun Jie do it for nothing?

Changes must be spontaneous and sustainable.

In the development of overseas colonies, we cannot rely solely on official power, but must discover the power of the people.

In other words, it is the power of capital.

The power of capital is inexhaustible. For the sake of Wang Tu's hegemony, and for the sake of future generations, Sun Jie is going to make big moves.

Taking advantage of the gold and silver mines in the Americas, private capital is encouraged to invest, mine, or occupy land in the Americas.

At the same time, Daqin Bank was encouraged to allow these private capitals to lend against the gold and silver mines in America.

In this way, a large number of people will be driven to the Americas to pan for gold. These people are the pioneers of occupying the Americas.

And "Daqin North American Trading Company" is Sun Jie's solution.

Take the government-run capital as the pioneer, go first, open up the market first, and then attract private capital to go there.

The office of Daqin North America Trading Company is very small, only the size of a house.

Zhang Dazhi stood at the door, looked at the sun in the sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally built, next, it will be much easier!"

Zhang Dazhi walked forward.

After a while, a team of a hundred people gathered in front of the office.

The weapons used by these soldiers are all 98k, and they are even equipped with five mg42 light machine guns, mortars and other weapons.

These weapons are enough to deal with any difficulty.

"Brothers, you are the elite carefully selected by His Majesty, you must not disappoint His Majesty's expectations, remember to always be loyal to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Dazhi shouted.

"Forever loyal to His Majesty!"

The soldiers shouted loudly.

After a brief review, Zhang Dazhi divided these soldiers into 50 teams, escorted more than [-] technicians, and marched along the mainland.

Before Zhang Dazhi set off, he brought a lot of technicians with him.

They are mainly responsible for prospecting for minerals, medicinal plants and various economic crops.

At the same time, it is responsible for surveying terrain, drawing topographic maps and other tasks.

……

A huge globe was placed in the Imperial Study Room of the Jinling Palace. Sun Jie stood in front of the globe, swinging it non-stop.

His gaze went from Daqin to North America.

His eyes stopped on the west coast, and he said: "It's been so long, Zhang Dazhi has already arrived in North America. According to the time, if there are no accidents, he should have arrived by now.

It's time to lift the ban, and it's time for them to act.These private businessmen should also make a good move, it is not the same thing to keep them suppressed! "

Not long after, Sun Jie approached officials from the Ministry of Commerce.

Today's Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce is an official named Lin Hai. This person has followed Sun Jie for a while, and later studied in Daqin University for a while.

This person is young, about 40 years old.

He stood in front of Sun Jie, not daring to show his air.

After the ceremony, he stood there respectfully.

He was not from Shaanxi, nor was he a minister of the former Ming Dynasty. He was originally from Shanxi, and later he took refuge in Sun Jie.

"The decree that you were asked to draw up before, how did you draw it up? It is to loosen the control on gold and silver mines. At the same time, encourage businessmen to go overseas to mine and provide certain financial support. How are you doing with this matter?" Sun Jie asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the draft has been completed. If Your Majesty wants it now, you can take it at any time!" Lin Hai said.

"If that's the case, let someone send it over. If there are no problems, let's carry it out!" Sun Jie said.

Lin Hai hurried down, and not long after, he brought a pamphlet and re-entered the imperial study.

The content of the decree is very detailed, and there are hundreds of them in total, and it is impossible to write them all on a single piece of paper.

After Sun Jie took the government order from him, he sat down and looked at it seriously.

The content involved in the above is very detailed, including but not limited to "the identity of the merchant, the proportion of financial support, and the regulations on market transactions..."

Everything that Sun Jie could think of, Lin Hai touched on.From this, it can be seen that this Lin Hai is quite capable.

After about a quarter of an hour, Sun Jie put down the booklet in his hand and handed it to Lin Hai again.

"There is nothing wrong with the things you stipulated, they are all very reasonable.

Take this brochure to the Senate, and say that I said it, let them pass it quickly, then file it, and then send it directly.

At the same time, tell the headquarters of Daqin Bank to make preparations quickly. In the not-too-distant future, a huge investment boom will definitely erupt. "

Lin Hai remembered all these words of Sun Jie in his mind, so he hurriedly took the booklet and backed out.

As the saying goes, a thousand wastes wait for prosperity.

Under normal circumstances, after the war, there will be an economic recovery, which has been the case in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, if this opportunity can be seized, the economy will grow even more.

There are many unscrupulous people on the modern Internet preaching that Easterners will never be as adventurous as Westerners.

These words are bullshit.

Not to mention, Zheng He during the Yongle period, didn't they have the spirit of adventure?

Not to mention the merchants who went to sea in the Song Dynasty, they didn't just run near the sea.

It depends on whether there is any profit motive. If it is profitable, these private businessmen don't care so much.

In the first few years of the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty, those merchants dared to risk their heads to smuggle, let alone other things.

All these matters arranged by Sun Jie were passed within a short period of time, and the decree was issued to all parts of the world early the next morning.

As a place of prosperous business, although there is a big gap between Jinling and Chang'an, the merchants here have a much more sensitive sense of business than other places.

When this decree from the Ministry of Commerce was issued, these businessmen in Jinling reacted the most.

All of a sudden, all the teahouses, inns, or theaters were full of discussions from those businessmen.

Although Sun Jie had killed many gentry in Jinling before, this did not affect their desire for money.

Just when these businessmen were discussing, Sun Wenyue came to Sun Chuwen's home with Sun Jie's intention.

Sitting in the conservatory, Sun Chuwen looked at his eldest grandson with a smile on his face.

"Is it business to come today?" Sun Chuwen asked.

Sun Wenyue picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.

When his body was completely warmed up, he said, "It's not really an official business, it's just that my father asked me to come over and said that I have something to give to you, Grandpa."

Sun Chuwen was a little surprised by this sentence.

From the looks of it, it should be official business.

If it's business, just let yourself go there, why not let His Highness the Crown Prince visit?
Sun Chuwen asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask Your Highness what is it?"

Sun Wenyue explained: "I don't know if Grandpa has heard of the latest number one document issued by the Ministry of Commerce?"

Sun Chuwen nodded and said, "This news has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling, and I have heard about it, but I don't know the detailed rules above. After all, I am old now, so I don't pay much attention to these."

Sun Wenyue smiled, "My father asked me to come here today because of this matter.

Now that the imperial court has established the Daqin North American Trading Company, the leading personnel have passed away. In the not-too-distant future, it will definitely be extremely prosperous there.

The route has been opened up, and there are a lot of gold and silver mines in that place.

What the imperial court meant was to give up those gold and silver mines to be mined by private businessmen.

At the same time, if a businessman lacks money, he can use gold and silver mines as collateral to obtain financial support from the Daqin Bank.

Grandpa used to be the head of the Qin merchants, and his prestige was unmatched among the merchants in Shaanxi.

Although these businessmen in Jinling are quick-witted, they have just gone through the war, and there are not many strong businessmen, and those weak businessmen may not dare to set foot in it, so my father thought, let my grandfather set foot first, and set an example. "

This sentence made Sun Chuwen fall into deep thought, and he was a little confused about Sun Jie's meaning for a moment.

Sun Chuwen withdrew from politics a long time ago.Although his prestige in the court is unparalleled, he is not keen on political affairs.

More often, he looks like an idle old man or a countryman.

No matter who came, he almost didn't see much, even if it was the business of the family before, it had long been handed over to the servants, and he never asked.

He lived a retired life ahead of schedule and didn't care much about government affairs.His various practices.It's nothing more than a precaution, the reappearance of the Hongwu Dynasty incident.

But now that Sun Jie actually named them and asked him to be the first to do it, it really made him a little confused.

"There are so many young and middle-aged talents in the court, so why let me, a bad old man, be the first person?"

Sun Chuwen smiled.

Sun Wenyue explained: "Grandpa, what should I say about this matter, after all, you are my family, so you must be the first to do this matter.

You don't need to do anything, you don't need to prepare for such things as funds, personnel, etc. The imperial court has already prepared them for you, and the most important thing is to let you set an example. "

"So that's the case. If that's the case, then I'll take an order to thank you!" Sun Chuwen breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is only used as a mascot, then he is still very happy.

After explaining the details here, Sun Wenyue left.

In the early morning of the next day, the Daqin newspaper made a big deal about it and put it on the front page.

It is said that Sun Chuwen wants to invest in gold mines in North America and open mines there.

All of a sudden, the entire southern business community exploded in an instant.

It's not that these businessmen don't believe the contents of the newspaper, but that the previous decree from the Ministry of Commerce was too far-fetched.

North America, that is a place no one has been to, no one knows if there are gold or silver mines there.

They haven't gone yet, so where did they come from to use gold mines as collateral?This back and forth logic doesn't make sense, it doesn't look very realistic.

Just when they were discussing, half a month later, Sun Chuwen led a group of people to make a high-profile appearance in the lobby of Jinling Daqin Bank.

This moment attracted the attention of those merchants in Jinling City.

As a result, the Jinling Daqin Bank was immediately besieged.

Even Daqin Daily has sent professional reporters to follow up and interview.

As soon as Sun Chuwen walked into the gate of the bank, he met a reporter from Daqin Daily.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think? Why do you want to go to America, a place you have never heard of, to mine?"

The reporter suddenly stood in front of Sun Chuwen and asked eagerly.

Sun Chengjia, Sun Chuwen's eldest son, hurriedly stood up and explained: "It's like this. America is a very wild place. The people of Daqin have never set foot there, but there are many gold and silver mines there, and the court is now People like us were encouraged to mine in the past, and we are going there now, which happens to be in accordance with the government's decree."

"However, you don't have a gold mine in your hands now, so why do you need a mortgage?" the reporter asked.

When the reporter asked this sentence, all the relevant businessmen present held their breath.

This is what they are most concerned about.

How can you get a mortgage without a gold mine?Aren't you afraid that those businessmen will run away with the money?

In fact, before Lin Hai issued this order, he also asked Sun Jie the same question.

The explanation given by Sun Jie is, "As long as one person succeeds, it doesn't matter even if a hundred escaped with the money. The huge profit brought by one success is enough to offset the loss of a hundred people who escaped with the money." After all, the money released by Daqin Bank is not only silver coins, but also a considerable part of deposit certificates."

The certificate of deposit is the paper currency that Sun Jie asked Daqin Bank to issue a long time ago.

People can choose two ways to deposit money in the bank, one is passbook and the other is deposit certificate.

Receipts of deposit, certificates but not persons.As long as the deposit certificate is genuine, no matter which bank it is in, it can be exchanged for silver coins.

Due to the orderly issuance and Sun Jie's strict management and control, today's certificates of deposit are already showing signs of becoming a credit currency.

Now, Sun Jie wants to further promote economic development by mixing certificates of deposit and silver coins.

The cost of a certificate of deposit is just a piece of paper. Gold mines are real minerals, so naturally they will not lose money.
