After simply understanding what Sun Chunming meant, Sun Yue was also shocked. He had to say that his father was really a bit too big, or he was ambitious.

Sun Yue knew that Sun Chunming had always had the intention to establish a large business alliance similar to the East India Company, but in the past, no matter how awesome the Sun family was or how rich the richest man was, few of them were willing to play with him.

Until later, he was in charge of Luoyang, with the Sun family industry as the core and relying on glass factories and steel factories, which made it a bunch of capital in the Central Plains. Basically, retired military bosses and wealthy merchants from all walks of life joined. Unfortunately, it was only a preliminary cooperation and was still far from unifying the Central Plains business community, not to mention that there was not a small capital force outside the Central Plains.

More importantly, he was not very brave enough to continue to develop. First, he gradually couldn't control more and more shareholders with increasingly powerful power. Second, this capital force was too strong and easily aroused Zhao Kuangyin's suspicion, which would be more than worth the loss, so he could only relax his ambitions and planned to find another opportunity.

Who would have thought that the opportunity would come so soon, and he was confused and had no plans at all, so he became one of the three corpses. Moreover, the three corps envoy Chu Zhaofu even deprived the officials of the government, intending to compete with the three corpses to seize power.

No matter what era, when power and financial resources are perfectly combined, the energy that bursts out is extremely huge. This is not addition, multiplication, or even the power of the special girl.

After the successful operation of the commercial banknote and salt system, he tasted the sweetness and received praise from the court, he was gone on the road of combining official and business, or collusion. After all, whether it is an official or doing business, it is very unhappy to see others collusion, but if he colluded with himself, he is huhahahahaha.

Sun Chunming did not directly hand over the minting of silver coins to the Salt and Iron Department, but established a silver and money bureau under the Salt and Iron Department, which was specifically responsible for connecting the merchants in the world to build a money house, because the silver coins and copper coins were required to be exchanged in the money house in proportion.

A common sense of finance is popular here. Even when the Ming Dynasty was in a collapsed economy, there was an official who set the ratio. For example, the government stipulated that one tael of silver should be worth 100 ci, but in actual interactions, the people were not stupid. It would be good to exchange a thousand ci for one tael of silver. Just like the gold coupons in our dynasty during relatively difficult times. In principle, whether the exchange of RMB was one to one or one, or one, but in fact no one exchanged with you one to two.

If there is no money shop as a support, Sun Chunming would mint new coins as soon as he touched his upper lip, that would be nonsense. This is one of the most fundamental rights of a country. No matter how it is minted, it is equivalent to printing money in later generations. It will cause a big mess. No matter how you set the exchange rate, it will be useless. The people will not recognize you.

The Yuan and Ming dynasties also issued hundreds of trillions of paper money.

But with money shops, it is different. They are equivalent to central banks. For example, Sun Chunming stipulates that one silver coin is equal to one tael of silver, which is equal to ten jin of copper coins. No matter whether the exchange ratio is outrageous, as long as the people can exchange it at any time in the money shop, this ratio is valid. Moreover, before the influx of large amounts of silver in Japan, this system is unlikely to collapse.

So in essence, this is not a new coin, it is just a flew ticket or jackpot that was released in advance. Relying on silver is just a transition.

To be honest, such currency has nothing to do with ordinary people. Sun Chunming wanted the court to combine the tax system with silver coins, but Zhao Kuangyin rejected it. People were afraid that they would take too much steps and would easily get rid of the eggs.

So it is very popular that this thing becomes purely commercial. Redeem at least 1,000 coins at a time, which is 10,000 coins. This silver coin is directly turned into something that only the top wealthy family can afford.

The money house needs to store a large amount of copper coins, and the imperial court has no money. In addition, the promotion and use of silver coins cannot be separated from the support of big merchants, so the money house naturally became a joint office of the official and businessmen. Five percent of the shares are in the Salt and Iron Department, 40 percent of the shares are scattered among the people, and 10 percent are planned to be thrown to Sun Yue’s Military Commission, so that the middle-level army can raise funds to buy.

As long as this thing is developed well, it will also merge the national mining business and even salt and iron business, which is almost as good as the East India Company.

If the politics is clear, silver coins can be promoted from these big and wealthy merchants soon, so that power can penetrate smoothly and efficiently into every corner of the empire based on private wealth. Opening a bank is a very profitable industry no matter when and where. Even if there is no way to see where the profit is, the ancients were not stupid. Those who are qualified will inevitably flock to join, rushing to join, combining power with the power of capital, and thus increasing rapidly.

This model is a bit similar to the Shanxi-Xijin Shang Group in the late Ming Dynasty. It was just that it was purely a private transaction. Without an official background, it could not leave the province. Although it later achieved certain development by being a traitor to the Qing Dynasty, it was just that and it could not be compared with Sun Chunming.

Sun Yue knew that his father really wanted to create something like the Dutch East India Company in the Song Dynasty.

By the way, the Sun family accounts for nearly 10% of the 40% of the private capital. In the future, even if they learn from the East India Company to get out the stock, 50% of the Salt and Iron Company will remain unchanged forever.

At first glance, the power is in the hands of the Sun family, but in essence, this power is actually in the hands of the Salt and Iron Company. It is just that the Sun family, as the initiator of the matter, owns the largest private shares. Even if they leave this job one day, they can still retain a certain influence.

However, in the future, the power of the Salt and Iron Department will definitely not be able to be collected but cannot be collected. The three departments will definitely dominate, and even surpass the Chengzhi Department in the Privy Council, unless Zhao Kuangyin transferred Sun Chunming to the Duzhi Department for two years.

It feels so good to think that one day in the future an East India Company will appear in my hands. It is a huge creature with its own army, its right to mint coins, diplomacy, and even its right to war. It is said that wealth can only be considered half a prime minister compared to the east and west governments. Haha, let Sun Chunming give it a try?

But it is obvious that that will happen in the future. I guess I have to wait until he is promoted to become a real Sansi Envoy.

At least for the time being, the real function of this thing in the short term is to move the capital.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin could agree, because now Zhao Guangyi's Jin royal party has been rushing to attack Zhao Pu. Even though he knows that Sun Chunming is causing trouble, he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to him. Even if there are a few knowledgeable people who want to argue, they can't withstand the general trend. They really make them do things without showing off.
