The "Xianglin Treaty" basically consists of these five articles. Although the two parties signing it are not emperors, one is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the other is the prince who is the first heir to the throne of Zhenwa. This agreement is naturally valid.
After signing, Ba Po took Su Yeli back to Zhenwa. He needed to go back and explain to his father. As for the remaining trade matters, they would be transferred to Guluo City, and the trade would be carried out at that time. With the Tang Dynasty shipping caravan, Li Ke didn’t need to worry about it.
In addition to these, the specific price of goods, such as medium silk, is about 40 shi of rice per piece, while higher grade silk, woven through the high-end weaving method of the jacquard machine, is based on ordinary silk. The above turned over twenty times to start. The price of rice is about 800 to 1,500 shi per horse.
Of course, these high-end silks were expensive in the Tang Dynasty, and the sales volume here was definitely not large. In Zhenwa and surrounding countries, even their nobles may not be able to afford them all year round.
But it doesn't matter, Li Ke is not planning to sell these high-end silks on a large scale.
And for example, the price of porcelain...the profit is even more terrifying, how should I put it? For example, blue and white porcelain cannot be calculated by cost. If you want to calculate it by cost, the profit is probably more than 10,000 times. The profit of this thing sold by Li Ke in the Tang Dynasty started at 1,000 times.
Therefore, based on the selling price of Datang, Li Ke actually made more than ten times the profit, which was not a high profit.
As for ordinary porcelain, which has the largest number, the profit is relatively low, probably maintaining a profit of about 80 times. This profit refers to the price of porcelain produced by other aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty.
As for Li Ke himself, he only plans to produce high-end porcelain for the time being. There is no need to make low-end porcelain, leaving it to those wealthy families and giving them some profits.
As for pottery, Li Ke did not prepare for large-scale manufacturing, leaving these to the businessmen.
After signing the contract, Li Ke returned to Guangzhou. Lin Yi had been handed over to the officials he appointed. As for the officials in charge of Lin Yi, Li Ke selected a suitable candidate-Changle.
That's right, the top officer of Lin Yi was temporarily handed over to Changle, and in terms of military affairs, it was handed over to Zhang Xi. As the captain of those disabled veterans, Zhang Xi also came with him this time. There are two hundred disabled veterans.
The original intention of these disabled veterans coming here was that Li Ke wanted them to be instructors, because Li Ke might go to Persia later, and here in Lingnan Road, if Li Ke wanted to train the navy on a large scale, he would need some chief instructors.
Only then did they bring two hundred disabled veterans over.
Who knew that Lin Yi would be taken down in the end, so this place might as well serve as a pilot project directly under the imperial court.
All officials were directly appointed by Li Ke. The reason why they returned to Guangzhou was because the currency around Guangzhou also needed to be promoted in the first step.
Before Li Ke came, from the Chinese New Year to July, the mint researched by Li Ke near Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty had been stamping new Tang Dynasty coins. The current output of these new Tang coins has been about one stamp. One million strings.
For the time being, the output near Chang'an will not increase. It is enough to maintain the output of two million guans a year.
The one million coins will basically be transported to Lingnan Road first, and all the currencies near Lingnan Road and Zhenwa will be exchanged first!
In addition, Li Ke also told Yuelai Trading Company to build a mint directly on Lingnan Road to increase the output here to about two million coins a year.
According to Article 4 of the "Xianglin Treaty", the Zhenwa royal family is not allowed to transport the currency of the Tang Dynasty to other countries, but Li Ke deliberately stipulated this, because the more you refuse, the more desperate some people will be.
Needless to say, a large number of Zhenwa "folks" would go to countries such as the Mule Kingdom to purchase various copper coins, and then transport these copper coins to Zhenwa, and then exchange them for Tang Dynasty copper coins.
For Li Ke, the loss of 10% can basically remain the same even if transportation costs are included. If you consider that the coins printed by Li Ke are not pure copper at all, but alloys such as copper, iron, and tin, which are based on what is given in the warehouse. If a relatively simple alloy is cast, then he will have a slight profit.
These profits may not seem high, but making money is a legend in itself in ancient times, not to mention such exquisite coins.
Along with the introduction of coins, there are naturally related policies. For example, in Lingnan Road, Linyi and other areas, after two years, any other currencies will no longer be recognized for circulation. By then, these currencies can only be exchanged at the official Point exchange has become a popular Datang coin now.
As for how to implement it, it is very simple. If all the merchants, maritime merchants, etc. in the Tang Dynasty still use other currencies, they will be fined. As long as all these merchants do not use these copper coins, then the private sector will naturally also It won't be used anymore.
In addition to currency reform, medicinal material factories have also begun to implement Lingnan Road and Linyi. In the ten states of Lingnan Road, close to places where there are many mountain tribes, Yuelai Trading Company has launched exchange and purchase points one by one. Purchase relevant medicinal materials from the mountain tribes and sell grain to these mountain tribes at a preferential price.
In addition, Li Ke began to purchase a large amount of grain from Lingnan Road at the market price of Lingnan Road. This market price will continue to be stable for a period of time. If the grain price is higher than this market price due to Li Ke's acquisition, he will A considerable portion of the food in hand was released to balance the food price on Lingnan Road.
Li Ke was entrusted with the responsibility of Li Yanlai for the purchase of medicinal materials and registration of mountain residents in the original Lingnan Road, as well as matters related to grain collection and grain distribution to balance prices. Here in Linyi, Changle is the highest officer, with assistants Wu Jue is in charge.
After arranging these things, Li Ke was ready to set off directly. Unexpectedly, Monobe Murashita, who had already begun to act as a "pirate", sent Li Ke a new message.
He destroyed the Dandan Kingdom. The royal family and nobles of the Dandan Kingdom were slaughtered by Mononobe Murakata. Currently, the Dandan Kingdom is under the control of Mononobe Murakata. He invited His Highness King Qin to "attack" Dandan. Dan country.
Li Ke, who knew the news, was a little speechless. Your subjective initiative is too much. Are you starting to help me destroy the country? Although Dandan Kingdom was a country as small as Singapore in later generations.
But now that Singapore has been defeated out of thin air, Datang has gained another enclave territory. This is actually good news.
However, Li Ke is really not prepared to interfere in Singapore's port construction and other aspects. After thinking about it, Li Ke simply invited all the wealthy families in Lingnan Road.
