Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 320 Terrible Trade Experiment
The so-called economic law, to put it bluntly, is a matter between businessmen, Qin Hao is quite familiar with it, and the same sentence, never eating pork, has always seen pigs running away.

In my previous life, I lived in the 21st century when the commodity economy was developed, and economic law was even more important than civil law. However, the spirit of contract in the Tang Dynasty was so strong, and the keeping of credit promises was so strong that it was outrageous, so most of the economic disputes in later generations It simply does not exist in Datang.

Therefore, all he needs to do is to think about how to set up laws and regulations to make Datang stronger and the market more dynamic. As a person, the experience of later generations must be combined with the actual national conditions of Datang. Not much, one law code is enough for him to study for three to five years.

The current economic situation in Datang is that the Green Gang basically monopolizes the river and sea transportation business of Datang, and basically strangles the wholesale business through supermarkets. The most urgent task is to limit the prices and profits of the Green Gang. Qin Hao strictly stipulated the price when the Green Gang purchased from the factory to ensure the profits of the handicraft owners so that they could flourish.

For this reason, Qin Hao even initially drew up a plan for commercial tax reform, and planned to discuss it with Fang Xuanling and the others when it was more complete.

Another rather frenzied place, Qin Hao actually set the legendary tariffs on Datang.

This ambitious project almost aroused Qin Hao's excitement. Of course, the so-called tariffs are not artificial trade barriers. Every international trade in the feudal society is hard-won. He is not a broken bed. How could he Why take the initiative to fight a trade war?

The tariff is very low, whether it is a domestic businessman who sells it to a foreign country or a foreign businessman who sells it in, he has to pay a little. The key point is that he only accepts general coupons as a settlement method.

To put it simply, when foreigners sell things, they must and can only be bought and sold into a pile of general-purpose coupons. After deducting the part that needs to be paid to Datang, the rest can be used to buy things and sell them back to their home countries.

And if domestic businessmen are willing to go to the Western Regions to sell foreign goods, the best choice is to exchange them for general coupons, otherwise they will have to pay taxes if they exchange goods.

When he completes this great undertaking, all alien races, especially those who respect Tian Khan, will have to reserve a large amount of Datang's general coupons. Simply put, it is foreign exchange reserves. A sneeze can make the whole world take medicine, isn't it because he owes the whole world money?

If the same move can be used in the feudal society 1000 years ago, its effectiveness will be infinitely better, because the foreign races themselves do not have a complete currency system. After frequent use, the currency in circulation within it will naturally be replaced by Datang's general-purpose coupons.

Controlling the currency of a country is equivalent to controlling everything in the country. Although this economic point of view is simple, it does not make sense.

Even if Qin Hao is a little more shameless, he can completely recreate a foreign exchange certificate system on the basis of the general-purpose bond system, which is completely isolated from the domestic market. At that time, the economy of a country can be drained by printing foreign exchange certificates alone. potential.

At that time, the Tian Khan system must be as stable as Mount Tai. If anyone is a little bit thorny, they can be wiped out with monetary means, and it won't even take long.

Not to mention, how many banknotes can be printed by Datang in this way, you must know that for the treasury, the extra printed part is all money.

The knowledge involved is too professional, and it involves macroeconomics at the national level. Qin Hao, a civil servant, only has a superficial understanding, and these bigwigs in Datang are naturally surrounded by clouds and fog, and they don't understand it at all. .

So Qin Hao gave a vivid lesson to all the bosses, teaching them what economic plunder is.

Organized by Pei Xingjian and headed by Wang Fangyi and a group of big cannibals, Datang’s first voyage caravan set off from Dengzhou and went straight to Pyongyang City. Precious commodities such as jewelry, rhino horn, and spices from the Western Regions had cordial and friendly exchanges with local merchants and noble families in Goguryeo.

Because of productivity reasons, Goguryeo is poor and empty. Even a needle is difficult to make there. Naturally, the impact of these large ships of goods on them can be imagined.

Since then, Datang and Goguryeo have established trade relations, because after all, the two countries have not broken their faces. Goguryeo is still a vassal state of Datang in name at least for the time being, and it is still a tribute to Khan, so it is impossible for Goguryeo to compete with Datang. Tang turned his face.

The Goguryeo people soon discovered that it was much more convenient to trade with Datang’s general coupons than directly bartering, and even more appropriate than trading with gold and silver. So after a few months, they wanted to buy Datang’s products. You must have the general coupons of the Tang Dynasty. Even in Goguryeo, the value of the general coupons is even higher than that of ordinary copper coins.

As a result, Goguryeo's minerals, timber, and mink were transported to Datang one by one, and what Datang paid was only one ship after another of general coupons.

Later, all copper coins in Goguryeo were exchanged to Datang, and even copper almost withdrew from the money market in Goguryeo. Shiploads of gold and silver were transported back and directly sealed in Datang’s treasury. In exchange for these money, Tang Dynasty The Fed is printing general-purpose notes like crazy.

Anyway, Qin Hao said that you don't need to think too much about printing money to foreign countries, especially this kind of money that can be directly exchanged for gold, silver, copper and iron. You don't lose as much as you want.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were completely dumbfounded when they saw Qin Hao's experiment results. They almost did nothing, and emptied Goguryeo's folk wealth and even national wealth. Of course, during this period, more or less There were hundreds of shipments of goods there.

Are Goguryeo people all fools?
Qin Hao thought it was quite normal. In his previous life, he had caught up with the great era. When the RMB and foreign exchange certificates were the craziest, they could even reach a ratio of four to four. . . .He has saved several trillions of foreign exchange in the United States.

Qin Hao's method is similar to this, the difference is that we at least had renminbi at that time, and Goguryeo at this time. . . . .

Three months later, Pei Xingjian vowed that as long as Datang announced the cessation of trade with Goguryeo, Goguryeo would be in chaos for at least a year. It can crash.

It made Li Shimin feel a little embarrassed. It's so easy to make such a fucking money, and he doesn't even want to fight Goguryeo anymore.

The matter has come to this point, and even the people of insight in Goguryeo have seen that something is wrong. It took only a few months for Datang to destroy them. Now they are faced with only two roads , or continue to trade with Datang, continue to let Datang hollow out their foundation, this is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison.

The other way, of course, is to give up the trade with Datang. This move is equivalent to cutting off the wrists of a strong man. The disadvantage is that there will inevitably be internal chaos for a while, although because the trade with Datang is not long, the chaos will not last too long. , but in case Datang took this opportunity as an excuse to launch an attack, it was hard to say that it would not cause a chain reaction.

King Goguryeo is still Gao Jianwu at this time, and he can be regarded as a very strategic emperor. He gritted his teeth cruelly and said goodbye!It's better to be in chaos now than to be played and applauded by Datang in the future.

At the same time, additional manpower was sent to build the Great Wall, and another fleet was sent to Chang'an to pay tribute, to express sincere blessings to Tian Khan, and to return the former Sui Jingguan.

Li Shimin is so angry now, who are you playing with both soft and hard, it shows that you have political skills, fight!Must fight!Jingguan, take it back, I will go get it myself!
