"wrong!"
After the front foot finished speaking, Zong Heguo directly refuted himself, "Jiaozi and Baochao seem to be the same, but in fact there is a huge difference. The issuance and operation of Baochao are both managed by the Baochao Department of the Ming Dynasty. Jiaozi seems to be a collaboration between the Tang and Song Dynasties. Both sides are equal, but in fact the gold and silver are mainly concentrated in the Song Dynasty, and it is not the Song Dynasty that controls this gold and silver, but the Song people!"
Baochao is official banknote, while Jiaozi is just a variant of money order. It is a medium that emerged to solve the problem of difficult travel on the Shu road and the inconvenience of money transfer. Its own value is controlled by several joint banknotes.
The reputation of the royal family and the court is not reliable, let alone several private accounts?
That’s not to say you can do whatever you want!
Although the treasure banknotes have depreciated in value, they have been changed into multiple versions before and after Jiaozi, even to the issuer.
If the predicament of Shu Dao was not real and the main victims of the loss were the common people, Jiaozi might have been abolished.
"Exchanging paper for money, those merchants in the Song Dynasty were really ruthless!" Zong Heqin sneered.
No matter what the treasure banknotes are, they are still guaranteed by the Ming Dynasty. The treasure banknotes that were issued indiscriminately during the Hongwu period are still recognized today, but Jiaozi is just paper. The owners have changed it several times, and greedy businessmen have swallowed up a lot of it. wealth?
"There is nothing we can do about it. The road out of Shu is too difficult. The Song people entered Sili and were suppressed by all forces and could not get out. In the early years of the Later Tang Dynasty, there was great righteousness and prestige in various places in Kyushu. What did Emperor Ai say at that time? Come on, it will take thirty years to reorganize the mountains and rivers and bring the prosperous Tang Dynasty back to the Central Plains..." Zong Heguo laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole courtyard was greeted with cheers.
Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ye, was not only a typical example of a foolish emperor throughout the ages, but also the biggest joke in Kyushu.
He was the one who ran away with the bucket, he was the one who hid in Shu, and he was the one who fired the cannons into the sky. That is to say, the era was too chaotic. The grass-head kings of all parties were kings who entered Chang'an first. In addition, the road to Sichuan was not easy to walk. Give the other party a chance to survive.
It's a pity that Li Ye couldn't seize the opportunity to survive. Not long after the slogan of rebuilding the country and returning the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the Central Plains was shouted in thirty years, the eight loyal generals who he regarded as his confidants rebelled. Fortunately, Li Ye, who had experienced Zhou Wu's rebellion, The royal family hid their tricks and put out the rebellion. Otherwise, Tang Zhi might not even be able to keep the "Tang" in the country's name.
"Wealth and currency are not equal. If you want to avoid being sucked by the Song Dynasty, the best way is to enhance the core competitiveness of each country, relying on Wu Dynasty's cheap raw material resources and cheap labor, in three steps... Complete Song Youwo successively Imitation, Song You is my best, I have Song Wu, the direct way is to reform the currency and issue banknotes like the Ming Dynasty, but this method is also difficult!" Fang Fang had a wry smile on his face.
"It is indeed difficult. The Ming Dynasty has a vast overseas market. Even if there is no profit from the sea, the gold and silver produced in Jiaozhi is enough to support the value of treasure notes. Not to mention there are rumors in the Liao Kingdom that the Ming Dynasty's fleet has already touched The end of the Silk Road!" Zong Heguo said with a bitter smile.
"We can't learn from the Ming Dynasty, but I can learn from the Song Dynasty people!" Zonghe said with a smile, "Fang Sheng's wine, doesn't it mean that Song Dynasty and I are as good as each other?"
"What? Are you interested?" Fang Fang looked at the Zong brothers with a smile.
"Why are you not interested? Drinks, warriors will never be without it. Not many people know about your cooperation with the Xia family, but everyone should know about it!" Zong Heqin looked at the Li brothers.
There is no way to sell favors without Shang Zhong, so it is better to follow your words and get as much as you can.
"I have a recipe for Shao Dao Zi. As long as you can bring sweet potatoes, I guarantee that Shao Dao Zi will be the strongest and cheapest drink!"
The heel of the He family, my sister reminded me early on, is from Bohai County and is one of the Jiuwang in Jizhou.
The raw material of Shaodaozi is sweet potato, which is called sweet potato in Kyushu. It was obtained by the Ming people many years ago and was widely planted in southern Yangzhou.
The continuous output of Jiaozhi mineral deposits in the Ming Dynasty is closely related to the widespread cultivation of sweet potatoes.
However, people in the Ming Dynasty knew that sweet potatoes were edible, but those in power had long forgotten what it felt like to be hungry. In addition, with the blessing of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Yangzhou, sweet potatoes have not yet been served on the dining tables of the Han people.
If Fang Fang hadn't been trying new things and looking for all kinds of delicacies, he wouldn't have known that Kyushu in another world had already touched sweet potatoes with a yield of three thousand kilograms per mu.
"Sweet potato? That thing is black clover, and you fart after eating it. Can it really make wine?" Zong Heguo looked curious.
"Not only can it be brewed, but the yield of sweet potatoes per acre can reach thousands of pounds. If you have the channels, you can try planting it in the Bohai Sea. It's better than being hungry, isn't it?"
Fang Fang was not surprised that he and his brothers had eaten sweet potatoes. He wanted to try them all, let alone the other party.
Good food and clothing are the best, but lack of excitement and excitement. Humans are omnivores. The poor will put anything in their mouths just for a bite. The rich want to be stimulated, even if they don't open their mouths, there are still a bunch of people below who want to grab their stinky feet. Collect all kinds of edible but weird things.
"Qianjin base, Lao Fang, are you sure you're right?"
Zong Heguo stood up abruptly, and then sat down, "It's not that I doubt you, the sweet potatoes really cost a lot of money, why didn't Mingren grow them, and why did you tell me!"
Food is more important than the sky. Only when the dynasty and clan fill the bellies of the people below can they be stable.
It’s not bad to catch all the people in the lake, but the reality is that times have changed. Those in power on one side don’t care about people’s livelihood, but there are people who want to help you care about it.
The Wu Dynasty occupied three pieces of land. Except for Qingzhou, which was relatively densely populated, Jizhou and Bingzhou were representative of the vast territory and sparse population. Mixed with the old capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was not difficult for the Wu Dynasty to rule. But if you want long-term governance without chaos, the meat If the Wu Dynasty does not fall into other people's troubles, it will have to pay huge financial pressure every year.
"There are no channels, and the food is not really enough!"
Fang Fang leaned on the recliner and said lazily.
If you don’t understand society and understand hunger, you may simply think that it is caused by insufficient food, but in fact it is still a distribution issue.
Was the Wu Dynasty really short of food?
There is no shortage, there is no shortage. The shortage lies in distribution, but there is no shortage in land.
The environment in Jizhou and Bingzhou is not suitable for growing grain. However, we can vigorously cultivate the land and harvest one season a year. With even distribution, we can have enough grain to eat from bowl to bowl.
It's a pity that those who control land resources only consider it cost-effective. With huge profits from leather, meat sales, and raising livestock, the income is higher than that from planting. Who is willing to plant food for one season a year.
On the other side of Bingzhou, a lot of land is left uncultivated, and the basic ideas of governing the people are different. Why should the equation be so thankless?
Besides, if you want to be a saint, you won’t be able to turn to Equation!
"Anyway, can you give it a try? If you really have a thousand kilograms of output, even if you don't put it directly into people's mouths, you can make money elsewhere, right?" Zong Heqin was very open-minded, and he could tell at a glance what Fang Fang was thinking. .
"One thousand taels of prescriptions, you can try all kinds of things!" Fang Fang said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, the brothers of the Zong family all laughed. Who doesn't like high-intensity drinks? In the winter in the north, the most important thing is drinks. It's too late this year, but next year and the year after?
