Fang Fang didn't know the background of Wu Dynasty, but these three people knew it well.
All countries in Kyushu now have three major treasury.
The household treasury, the national tax treasury, is used for disbursing the national money and grain, engineering, and military affairs.
The inner treasury is controlled by the royal family, managed by the inner government, and used for the daily life of the royal family.
A closed warehouse is a dead warehouse. It is set up to prepare for various accidents. Unless there is a major disaster, the internal treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs will deposit a sum of money and grain into it. Over time, it becomes the heritage of a country, and the storage medium is often Copper coins.
It can be said that the lack of copper in Jiuzhou is closely related to the large amount of copper coins that have been pledged in various countries.
It is not known how much Wu Dynasty had pledged in other countries' sealed treasury, but the Wu Dynasty's sealed treasury pledged at least tens of millions of copper coins, plus one million taels of gold and silver, which was enough to unite the grain and grass in Beitong Prefecture's Dacang at a special moment to fight a war of annihilation. country war.
"Every country has its own foundation. Whether it is for the future or for the present, the copper coins in the sealed warehouse have been squeezed out too much. It is time to exchange them for gold and silver! After the imperial dynasty at the beginning of next month, officials of the third grade and above in Beijing will be summoned to open the sealed warehouse. Let’s get out 20% of the copper coins first!”
The empress said in a deep voice.
Military people are reckless, but military people are not stupid. Twenty percent of the copper coins are exchanged for gold and silver. This ratio is just right. Even if the equation is not figured out what to do after the fact, the gold and silver exchanged can be used and will not harm the foundation of the Wu Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I have some news. The authenticity needs to be investigated by the Records Department, but the Records Department itself has a record of this matter!" Da Sima said.
"About forty years ago, when I was still in charge of the Office of Documents, I received a piece of intelligence from the Chongming Palace. The intelligence showed that Ming merchant ships landed in Kobe, Kyushu, and traded with the Kamakura shogunate, earning over one million taels at a time. Silver, to thirty thousand taels of gold!”
Xia Abacus was puzzled, "We all know the trade between Xiaojiuzhou and Ming Dynasty. What does Lao Zhang want to express by saying this?"
People in the Song Dynasty were extremely wealthy, and the Ming Dynasty, which opened up maritime trade, was the god of wealth in the hearts of warriors.
The Song Dynasty gave Sui coins, which the Ming Dynasty could not snatch, but they still had to find out. With the efforts of the Records Department, the Wu Dynasty knew more about the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty than the Ming Dynasty royal family, but this was meaningless.
"I'm not talking about this, but the gold and silver exchange ratio in Little Jiuzhou. The intelligence showed that Little Jiuzhou is short of copper. The copper-silver ratio in mainland China is one thousand to one tael, while in Little Jiuzhou the ratio is seven hundred to one. The gold to silver ratio is even lower!”
After Da Sima finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.
The largest reserve in the sealed warehouse is copper coins. If this news is true, then the same number of copper coins extracted can be exchanged for more gold and silver in Xiaojiuzhou.
"check!"
"Check it out and give another order to Huang Yi to add the requirement to build ships with the Ming Dynasty in the transaction. No new ships are needed. The old ships must be able to navigate Xiaojiuzhou!"
In shipbuilding technology, the Ming Dynasty was first, and the Song people were second. The former were sea ships, and the latter were river ships. If the Wu Dynasty wanted to open up communication with Xiaojiuzhou, it had to have ships.
"This shouldn't be a big problem, but if you have a ship, you need people. We lack people and experience when it comes to sailing. The direct voyage from Tianjin to Kyushu is too risky. If we join the transaction, the requirement for merchant ships to sail to Jeju Island Terminal should be the best !" Da Sima reminded.
The world is in chaos, and every country has its own worries in its development.
There is no unifying dynasty mentality. Whether it is for development or to be prepared for danger in times of peace, the exploration of neighboring countries has never stopped.
It seems that the tentacles of the Liao Kingdom reached beyond the Hetao, and the ears and eyes of the Later Tang Dynasty crossed the plateau and entered Tianzhu. The Ming Dynasty, which had the strongest overall strength, was traced in the sea area west of Jiaozhi.
However, knowing the information does not mean that it can be used well. Often, if the information is successfully detected, it will be thrown aside, and the relevant confidentiality is not strict, resulting in a situation where what one country detects is known to all countries.
Three hundred years of chaos have opened the eyes of the Han people in Kyushu.
You may not have traveled the road before, but everyone knows how to travel.
"In the past, we only used stallions and islands in exchange for money and food from the Ming Dynasty, plus silence on the Song Dynasty issue. It already seemed indifferent, and most people in the Ming Dynasty were also suspicious. But adding these two points, it is more conducive to cooperation!"
After some calculations, Xia Abacus thought that the problem was not big and pie would not fall from the sky, and the same was true between countries.
In the previous strategy, the martial artist paid too much, and the Mingren gave too little. The martial artist only needed what he needed, but the Mingren didn't know it. Adding some requirements might lead to cooperation.
"The Ming Dynasty occupied Yangzhou. Since ancient times, the southern forces have encountered great difficulties in both the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition. There are no successful cases yet. Even if they can make up for the shortcomings of the army and horses, just solving the Song Dynasty will be enough to consume countless energy and knowledge! "
Da Sima also smiled.
Militaryly, the strong army of the north has always unified the south. If the southern army wants to go north, geographical factors alone are enough to waste countless energy.
In the past, the Wu Dynasty strictly controlled military horses and banned the flow of stallions. There were considerations of checks and balances, but more of a venting of anger.
If you don’t buy me anything, you still want me to sell you something?
The method is very low-level, but the effect is very good.
Now that there is a need, the opening will be opened, and the Wu Dynasty will not be the first to be unlucky.
"Befriend far away and attack close by, you might as well open a wider gap with Daming!" The empress punched the small table.
…
"What's going on?"
In the east of Tai'an City, in Honglu Temple, Yang Guangming, the resident envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was dumbfounded when he saw the official document he had just received.
Deputy Envoy Yan Kuan looked at the official document on the table and shook his head, "The news came too suddenly. God knows what the warrior is thinking. However, the issue of Jeju Island has been mentioned by the cabinet and nobles many times. The warrior's attitude was taken into consideration before. , with the existence of Sanhan, there has been no decision yet!"
Jeju Island is too popular for Ming Dynasty.
Since Chengzu started maritime trade, the people who participated in maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty were no longer limited to the royal family, the court, and the nobles. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole people participated.
Taking Jeju Island, not to mention all the air routes to Xiaojiuzhou, the northern border is more effective as a deterrent. Whether it is economic interests or strategic needs, Ming Dynasty will not miss it.
As for the Song people who also coveted maritime trade, they wanted to enter the game and clear the Xuzhou dungeon while playing.
"Huang Yi will set off in the next few days. Please follow him. As for the warrior's purpose, I will send someone to investigate. If there is any news, a clipper will go south!"
Yang Guangming made a quick decision, but in fact he never made a decision. The news was only passed through their hands, and the final decision on the matter was still in the cabinet.
The Wu Dynasty sent Huang Yi on a visit, and he was given the title of Minister of Rites. It is self-evident that he attached great importance to him.
The next thing he needs to do is to determine whether the bait is poisonous and how toxic it is?
But in the long run, no matter how toxic it is, as long as it doesn't poison Daming to death at once, you should still eat it.
"Then I'll get ready first!"
After saying that, Yan Kuan left the room immediately. The way back to the court was too long. Even if he followed the Wu Dynasty's team during this season, half of his life would be wasted if he was not well prepared.
