Chapter 234 Bandits rob Fang Shiyu(1/3)
"They can use the treasure money they have in their hands to buy everything except for the strategic reserves such as firearms, grain, iron, gold, silver and copper in the Ming Dynasty."
"And, what I personally imagine is that 10 million foreign exchange reserves are just the premise for them to enter the Ming Dynasty and trade with the Ming Dynasty. 50 million foreign exchange reserves can allow them to purchase items at a lower price than 10 million foreign exchange reserves."
"If there is any force that has tens of millions of Daming Baochao, it is not impossible to sell it to him as a foreign exchange reserve and strategic reserve firearms and iron tools."
"If that court force could have a hundred million foreign exchange reserves, I could also share the scientific research results of the Ming Dynasty with him and help them develop!"
Fang Shiyu directly divided the tribute state into three or six. Who can get more benefits depends on his foreign exchange reserves of Daming Baochao.
The more quantity it is, it means that he can get more from the Ming Dynasty, including but not limited to firearms, iron tools, etc.
The stoves in Yangzhou have already burned. Although seawater is a huge challenge for descaling, it is better than the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the early maritime ban policy, there was not much population.
The vast land and huge boilers can burn four or five hundred tons of sea water a day. Don’t ask how to get the sea water. Ask, just shoulder to shoulder!
The large-grain sea salt obtained after the boiler is cooled by the boiler, can become the salt reserve of the court after purification technology.
It’s just a pity that the mining and use of coal mines can actually start construction once every three days. However, even if it starts once every three days, it can produce more than 800 barrels and reloaded rifled gun barrels a day.
It’s just that the technology needs to be improved and it is not possible to be equipped with an army for the time being.
Once the loading rifle gun is produced, the scientific research results of the Ming Dynasty will be rapidly amplified, and the steam power will still be stepping up, as time goes by.
The strength and quality of the Ming Dynasty firearms will be greatly improved, and the Hongwu Twenty-fourth-type muskets that are now equipped with the army in the Ming Dynasty will be retiring gloriously.
These firearms are better than being used to allow countries to offer treasures to reserve the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes as foreign exchange, so as to obtain the purchase authority of the Ming Dynasty's firearms. This is a krypton gold game. Whoever has krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold k
After all, it is the first time. Overseas countries are all remote areas. They may have a lot of gold and silver, but their military industry development is definitely not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty!
"But the same thing is true. The first time I don't have to bring much treasure money. The treasure money will flow back, and there will be no particularly many treasure money left in various countries."
"So I hope that each of you can produce 30 million treasures, Lao Lan, Chang Mao, Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou, and Wang family, a total of 150 million treasures, and the remaining 50 million I will raise 20 million treasures."
"In addition, according to the plan, the imperial fleet would search 1,500 times, and could ship many items such as goods, tea, silk, etc., and a procurement list formulated by the Ministry of Revenue."
"The purchase money will cost about 8.3 million taels, and all these things will be sold. When you count the rebate of the treasure money, you will come back."
"The fleet can bring back at most ten million or four hundred million treasures, and the total value of gold, silver and other things should be more than 40 million taels."
"This is only the first time trade. Over time, this kind of trade formation system will only gain more!"
Fang Shiyu shrugged and took out 20 million treasures. When he came back, he could bring back 100 million and 40 million treasures. Unconsciously, 60 million treasures would flow overseas and be called foreign exchange reserves.
As for whether this foreign exchange reserve is useful.
According to Fang Shiyu's words, he must be useful, but it is undoubtedly a dream to buy scientific and technological achievements from the Ming Dynasty by relying on foreign exchange reserves and treasure banknotes.
Xu Zengshou said: "My brother and I will publish together, that's 60 million treasures. Is this a bit..."
Xu Huizu also nodded. If they were to say 30 million treasures, they could still take them out. After all, 30 million treasures were just 30 million treasures. The amount of their family’s rewards and the treasures gathered by Xu Zengshou had already exceeded 30 million.
"Actually, the treasure money is calculated. No one paid 30 million treasure money. According to the proportion, the fleet returned can be divided into 21 million treasure money per person!"
"However, Baochao is just a tool. If you can't get so much Baochao, you can also invest additionally in the purchase funds to maintain the same situation!"
"The purchase fund quota is 8.3 million taels, because the treasure money cannot flow into the private sector, so you can only buy it with real money and silver."
"According to the original law, you five, each of them will pay one million in purchase funds. I will fill the rest myself, but if you can't get the treasure money, then get more silver."
Fang Shiyu's face was calm. The Ming Dynasty had not yet regarded silver as its only currency, but in the process of private procurement, purchase and sale, gold and silver still accounted for a large proportion. Without gold and silver, that would never work.
Lan Yu thought in her heart and hesitated secretly: "From this perspective, how can you make money? One million investment, plus nine million treasure money, is more than one million investment."
"That's a big deal, not..." Lan Yu seemed to have figured out something, but he still didn't say it out loud, hiding this matter in his heart.
Fang Shiyu stood up and said, "It's getting late. If you don't go back, Lao Zhu should be anxious. You can also discuss how to share the 8.3 million purchase funds and 20 million treasure banknotes. The more you invest, the more you earn."
After saying that, Fang Shiyu took a group of Jinyiwei out of the Duke of Liang's Mansion and walked towards the palace.
Xu Zengshou's mind was spinning quickly and he quickly said, "Isn't that what we mean is that we took our treasure money to make foreign exchange reserves for the court, reducing the treasure money among the people. If we count in this way, wouldn't the money we earn be given to the court in vain?" Xu Huizu thought carefully in his mind and thought for a long time, but he just couldn't figure out why the purchase funds were eight million and more than 40 million were returned. Then, no matter how he calculated, he would have to lose money.
The most direct problem is that Fang Shiyu flattened his foreign exchange reserves to everyone.
They took a large amount of treasure money and did things to reduce inflation for the court, and Fang Shiyu could indeed come up with this method.
......
Eastern Palace.
Fang Shiyu came to Zhu Ziyi's house, stepped forward and sat down and said, "Madam, how much money have you saved?"
"What are you doing?" Zhu Ziyi was stunned when she heard Fang Shiyu wanted to ask her for money and asked in a stern voice.
With a embarrassed smile, looking at Zhu Ziyi, Fang Shiyu stepped forward and coaxed and lied, "Isn't this my husband been doing treasure money for the past period of time."
"Now I have received the news that Feng Cheng has returned to the fleet of Dongsheng Shenzhou and is about to reach Zhigukou. I guess after loading and unloading, I will arrive in Yingtian before May."
"So I plan to let the fleet go around the West and let the Ming Baochao flow overseas to alleviate the inflation problem in the court!"
"I have joined forces with Duke Liang Lan Yu, founding Duke Chang Sheng, Duke Wei Xu Huizu, Miao Jin's brother Xu Zengshou, and the Wang family of the rich merchant."
"Everyone invests more than one million taels of silver, and they pay 30 million guan of treasure money, and we have to pay 50 million guan of treasure money. If we send all the treasure money, we should be able to keep it from losing money."
Fang Shiyu shook her head and said it to him, but it turned out to be no money.
"Making money, of course, the more you make, the better. This time the investment is really big. The money from the treasury has to be used to deal with the affairs of Tai'an Mansion. I am also very worried this day."
Fang Shiyu sighed and said, Fang Shiyu had no idea how much money he had and how much he could take out.
Zhu Ziyi shook her head and said, "No, the purchasing power of the treasure banknotes on the market has rapidly increased. Since you made the news that you want to equalize the treasure banknotes with food, it has been difficult to receive the treasure banknotes on the market."
"The days when we buy one tael of silver and one thousand guan of treasure money will never be returned. Our annual cost is not small. When we get married, the application rate will be from the account of the Ministry of Revenue, which is more than four million taels.
Now you ask me to take the treasure money and the silver, where can I do it?" Zhu Ziyi muttered, and to sum it up, it was just one sentence, there was no money.
"I really don't have money?" Fang Shiyu lowered his head. There was no way. I was in Zhu Ziyi's hands. As for whether Fang Shiyu could be forced, it was certainly OK, but things can't just look at the surface.
Zhu Ziyi shook her head and said, "I don't have money. Ma Shu is pregnant. The East Palace will soon be imported. It will cost another big sum."
"If you take a hundred thousand taels and a thousand cents of guan, you can still take it out with gritted teeth. Your mouth will be ten thousand ten thousand treasures and three million silver! You really think I am a money dealer."
Zhu Ziyi said with dissatisfaction that if she had asked her to choose once, she would definitely not be competing to be this princess, and there were too many bad things.
As her childbirth gets closer, whether it is a child or a daughter, it really makes Zhu Ziyi feel anxious every day and anxious
If you give birth to a boy, it would be fine, but if you give birth to a woman, there will inevitably be countless gossips, and there will be no descendants, which is a big taboo.
Fang Shiyu reached out and touched Zhu Ziyi's hand, and said softly: "Madam, I still know that no matter how poor our family is, we can still take out the treasure money."
"Your father printed so many treasure money back then, so he must have reserved a lot."
Zhu Ziyi turned her head and said, "No!"
After a smile, Fang Shiyu said, "Madam, you have to know how to settle the accounts. This time we go to sea, we will bring more than 20 million yuan in reserves for purchasing gold and treasure banknotes. The purchase is more than 8 million yuan. When we come back, we can bring back 30 million yuan of silver. We will remove the military pay of the officers and soldiers, maintain the navy, and have very little shell loss."
"If we invest 60 million taels of treasure money and 4 million taels of silver before we set off, we can make a profit of 10 million."
"No matter how we calculate it, we won't lose."
Fang Shiyu's profit was extremely compressed. If he said he could make a profit of about 40 million, perhaps Zhu Ziyi would be really moved and then willingly pay.
But what happened? Fang Shiyu had been thinking about it for so long, and in the end all the money was flowed back to Zhu Ziyi's pocket, and he had no money left.
Of course, the money is the same in everyone's hands, but Fang Shiyu doesn't want to have no private money. Is a man who doesn't hide private money still a man?
Zhu Ziyi said, "Then you say, if I get you sixty million guan of treasure money and four million taels of silver, how much will you pay me back?"
"Well, this is it, depending on the profit, it will cost at least 10 million taels of silver." Fang Shiyu said embarrassedly.
Zhu Ziyi said, "Okay, what you said is, 60 million guan of treasure banknotes, 4 million guan of silver, the fleet returns you to return 10 million guan of silver. The treasure banknotes must not be lost, and they have to be returned to me!"
Zhu Ziyi continued to add.
If it were the past, the purchasing power of 60 million guan Baochao may not be as good as 100,000 taels of silver, but now, 60 million guan Baochao is definitely a huge fortune.
Jiangnan has begun to use grain to collect Baochao, striving to increase the purchasing power of Baochao. However, the imperial court gathered large amounts of Baochao, so it must be useful and it cannot be piled up in the warehouse and become moldy.
Fang Shiyu thought for a moment and said, "If you have Baochao, all the foreign exchange reserves will be paid by the court. It will take at least three years to sail once. The court will take back ten million chunks of Baochao, so there should be no problem."
Fang Shiyu nodded.
It is better to calculate this account clearly. Since it is to make foreign exchange reserves for other national forces, the money should naturally be paid out by the court, and not all the treasure money they personally recovered were returned in full according to the initial investment. Otherwise, Lan Yu, Chang Sheng, Xu brothers, and Wang family were not fools.
I took tens of millions of treasure banknotes and exchanged them for millions of taels of silver. It seemed like I had made a profit, but as the price of treasure banknotes continued to rise, I would definitely lose my money.
"Well, give me a list, I'll send someone to help you purchase!" Zhu Ziyi reached out to ask for the list. It seemed that in her opinion, this money could not be reached by Fang Shiyu's hand no matter what. Once the man has money, something really will happen.
With a sigh, Fang Shiyu said, "It's good that my wife is willing to pay. As for the list, I have to study what I have to bring."
......
Yingtian Prefecture is directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County.
This Jiangning is also a unique place. During the Three Kingdoms period, Gan Ning, Lu Ji, Xie An of the Eastern Wu, Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty, and Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty stayed here to write poems and chant poems in the East Mountain.
Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty served as the prefect of Jiangning three times, and Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty once fought against the Jin people's invasion south on Niushou Mountain in Niushou Mountain.
Qin Hui, who was notorious for all time, was born in Jiangning. Wen Tianxiang from the former Yuan Dynasty once built Jinling Post in Jiangning Qilin, and then went to the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Xiaoru, a great scholar of the dynasty, grew up here.
Because it is very close to Yingtian Prefecture and is directly affiliated to Yingtian Prefecture, the economic and cultural development here are extremely prosperous.
Since the ninth year of Hongwu, the imperial court has either supported or built thirteen private schools in Jiangning, two official schools, teaching local urchins and reading and literacy. Of course, education is nothing.
Jiangning’s elderly care facilities and subsidy institutions are the most terrifying.
In other words, the entire Ming Dynasty's pension system and subsidy institutions are very terrifying.
In the early days of Hongwu, officials from all over the country also corrupted the court to provide relief food and money to local elderly people, but with the empty seal case, the Guo Heng case, and the Hu Weiyong case broke out one after another.
Of course, there would be no shortage of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, but with the end of the 22nd year of Hongwu, July of the 23rd year of Hongwu, and the first month of the 25th year of Hongwu.
The three times when the civilians tied up officials, went from Shandong to Beijing, from Huguang to Beijing, and from Fuzhou to Beijing, the three times when the imperial court sued officials, caused the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom to tremble.
There has never been a case of mutual oppression of the people and causing local people to live in poverty.
Although the relief grain allocated by the imperial court to the elderly was still inevitably deducted, most of the grain was put into practice, and those who were unable to farm, had nothing to rely on, and had no support, and would not be hungry all over the land with food to survive.
