"Sometimes, it is better to listen to the opinions of young people. What we think is a treasure, but in the end the water becomes stagnant and the treasure turns to decay. On the other hand, when the water becomes alive, it will always attract big fish. Isn't it the best thing in front of us? Example!"
Xia Abacus watched the carriage slowly drive into the city.
The money came from the Wu Dynasty, and the goods came from the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. But it is hard to say who will end up with the money, just because the Jurchens have no other channels. As long as the money flowing into the Jurchens does not settle down, it will eventually It will still return to the hands of the Wu Dynasty.
In order to buy enough supplies for the winter, the Jin Kingdom could only ask the Wu Dynasty for help. However, this year, after large-scale land reclamation and water conservancy combing, the output of new grains has not only caught up with its own consumption, but also increased by 30%. In addition, with the Ming Dynasty For the cheap Jiaozhou rice that was signed under the contract, the Wu Dynasty actually did not pay much in the entire process.
On the contrary, it resulted in more things.
According to the previous method, things can be done, but how much time will it take and how much more money will it cost?
Money is like water. If water does not flow, it will rot. If money does not live, it will die.
"Treasury bonds, how many are you planning to issue?"
"Of course, the more, the better. The crux of the problem for me now is that there is too little money circulating in the market. More than 40% of private transactions are mainly due to verbal debts. I asked the Document Department to check it. The smaller the place, the more money is accumulated. The more debts there are, the more debts they owe. In some villages, people owe several taels of silver from the previous generation. This makes the whole village miserable. They dare not go to large gatherings for fear of being gossiped about. To solve these problems, often just Inject dozens of taels of silver!"
"Next, what the Ministry of Accounts needs to do is to spread money into the market, eliminate debts among people on a large scale, and make the money in the market come alive. Otherwise, do you think I will agree to your lavish spending?"
Xia Dachuan looked back at Nian Run.
"You are not afraid of others. After you make money, you save it. The landlord's approach is very marketable. For me, the first time I have money is to dig a hole at home and bury the money in addition to bad debts. "
He is used to living a hard life, and even if he has money, he does not dare to spend it randomly. Saving money is almost a subconscious choice, and the same goes for Nian Run. He has no family and can only rely on himself. He has no choice but to be greedy, so why not save money on his own?
"This equation has been calculated a long time ago. It is safe to be buried in the ground, but it does not increase in value. The bank has started operating, and the savings are seven cents in interest. Do you want to consider it?"
Old Man Xia smiled, smiling like a waiter soliciting customers.
"I mean, are you waiting here?" Nian Run finally understood.
"Of course, there are still many problems in this, but it is like pulling a carriage. The initial force is the largest and most important. Once the carriage is pulled, the subsequent force will become smaller, even if the force disappears , the carriage will continue to move for a period of time due to inertia, what the department has to do is not to let this force disappear!"
After all, Xia Abacus has been the Minister of Household Affairs for more than ten years. In his self-awareness, he cannot stimulate the wealth of the Wu Dynasty, but how can he maintain this vitality after the stimulation is completed? How could he sit there for many years without this means?
"Listen to what you said, you already understand what to do next, why do you still need to make this trip?"
The three elders are all old, and all the officials in the court do not want them to run away if it is not necessary. It is not out of pure respect. After all, no local official in charge wants to have more than one elder.
"Because I don't know how much national debt should be issued under the current circumstances. If it's less, it won't be enough. If it's more, I'm afraid it will put out the flames. The whole concept of national debt was proposed by that guy from Equation, so I want to have a try with him. , see if we can come up with a suitable number."
Xia Abacus said without hesitation.
Nian Run nodded silently, turned around and pointed at the crowd watching below the city, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, isn't that an equation?"
"It's true!" Old Man Xia's eyes lit up, "This boy is very bright, but he has no background yet. Anyway, judging from his actions, he looks like a noble young master in every aspect."
"Wait a minute, you haven't figured out the origin yet? What does the Documents Division do?"
No one can find out clearly. Isn't this a joke?
"It's true that nothing has been found out. There is no trace of the past, and the past has become empty. It seems to have come out of thin air. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that people's minds are so bright!"
"The Documents Division couldn't find it in the country. It seems that it's all down to ghosts and gods!" Nian Run joked.
"Maybe. After all, there are always things in this world that we don't understand. As long as his heart is in the Wu Dynasty, I am willing to vouch for him."
…
"I seem to have seen Old Man Xia at Chengguan?"
In the crowd, Xiaohu poked Fangfang's arm and looked towards the city gate.
"According to our expectations, isn't this normal?"
The people from Tai'an City haven't arrived yet, but it doesn't mean that others can't advance. Compared to the news that Old Man Xia has arrived, Fang Fang is more concerned about the caravan in front of him.
Piles of furs, medicinal materials, and precious wood were piled on the low carriage. As the carriage and horses passed in front of them, Fang Fang could hear the friction sound of the machine being unable to bear the weight.
normal?
This is normal. Old Man Xia is a leader. Why did he leave the team at such an old age and run to Zijin Pass early? What if something happens?
However, considering that Fang Fang didn't know the identity of Old Man Xia, Xiaohu didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at the Jurchens' business with great interest, "For money, Wanyan Wenqi is trying to kill us. He doesn't know how to do anything. Why did you bring so many things?"
The only valuable things in the Jurchen territory are those things, but today they are all hammered into mountains. I saw more than a dozen tiger skins and bear skins alone. This is an entry into the city. This is obviously a touring exhibition. I wish I could treat all the onlookers as their propaganda customers. , take the message out and spread it.
"It's an old routine. I would do it the same way. The method of widespread advertising is no longer new."
Today, it’s a fresh look and it relieves the boredom. The equation answered casually, but at this moment, a carriage that had just entered the city gate collapsed, and several small wooden boxes fell directly from the carriage, followed closely. There is a white light scattered in all directions.
"Dongzhu!"
"They are all Dongzhu, how many are there?"
"What a big Dongzhu, much bigger than the ones on the market?"
A white light scattered, and the crowd exploded.
There are no ordinary people gathered here to watch the excitement. They are all veterans who have spare money and are relaxing outside the camp. Compared with relaxing in the border town where there are no hooks and the wine shops are under control, they can only relax by eating and drinking. During this time, veterans flocked to the scene. The purpose of entering the city was not just to resell, but also to turn the silver that had just been rewarded into supplies and take it back home.
Dongzhu, which is small in size and high in value, is undoubtedly the best treasure to carry around. As long as you take one back and sell it to the right person, it will cover the entire family's expenses for the next three or four years.
As for the price issue, is it expensive to sell it within the capital customs clearance?
"It's okay not to learn. If you learn this trick, are you really not afraid of being robbed?"
When they saw the Dong Jewelry Box that had landed on the ground, Fang Fang and his party were immediately squeezed out by the crowd and pushed to the side of the road. Fang Fang even saw several old soldiers with sharp eyesight and quick hands, knocking Dong Zhu away while it was flying. Stuff it into your pocket.
"Sir, we'd better leave first!" Li Yannian grabbed Fang Fang's arm with a wary look on his face, and everyone else also became wary.
The veteran soldiers in the army were the guarantee of force for the Wu Dynasty, and they were also the source of trouble. People who had been in the army for three years were already slick, let alone those who had been in the army for seven or eight years. The level of slickness really gave everyone a headache.
