Chapter 416
The money shop must be opened in major cities across the country, but the headquarters will undoubtedly be opened in Luoyang. This thing is destined to absorb a large amount of private capital, especially to save enough copper to reserve silver.
Isn’t this equivalent to the national money treasury being moved to Luoyang?
In addition, the mint must also be built in Luoyang. At that time, the financial center of Luoyang will not run away. Relying on the Salt and Iron Department, it will command merchants all over the world to be almost like using their arms to use their fingers. Where is Kaifeng? The commercial center is a business trader.
The reason why Kaifeng became the capital is inseparable from its commercial center. In fact, Kaifeng is the only country, and it can have enough canal transportation to support hundreds of thousands of troops. The world has been in chaos for the Five Dynasties. In order to survive, refugees can only keep wandering. Wandering and wandering, they found that only Kaifeng has a way to survive, so they all came to Kaifeng. The court relied on these refugees to recruit brave people, which led to the imperial guards. Zhao Kuangyin's imperial guards also came here.
In fact, Yangzhou also has a geographical advantage similar to Kaifeng. Unfortunately, the southern regime has always been in a mess, and Yangzhou has always been at a critical junction between the north and the south. He has no chance to develop business when fighting in the sky. I guess if he wants to see Yangzhou reappear in prosperity, he will have to be reunited after the motherland is reunited.
So simply put Kaifeng is not only the capital, but also the root of it is a commercial society. Merchants are an integral part of that city. This is also one of the main reasons why the status of merchants in the Song Dynasty is far higher than that of other dynasties.
Think about it, who allowed the people of Kaifeng to do business at will? Chai Rong! Such a straight man with arbitrary and almost harsh attitude towards others and himself had to allow everyone to do business in the capital and abolished the curfew. Then he knew the importance of business in Kaifeng City.
The same thing in ancient and modern times is that the more free the atmosphere is, the less it is easier to maintain leadership authority. The more rigid the system is, the easier it is to maintain dictatorship. Don’t talk about convenience for the people and the development of the economy. If it is not a necessity, who is willing to sacrifice the majesty of himself and the court to give the people freedom? This is a feudal society!
After all, as the capital of the state, curfews and markets are actually very necessary to manage urban and even national management, which is easy to manage and can also ensure the majesty of the court.
Free development and stability have always been two concepts. The Song Dynasty was indeed rich, but its stability was actually far worse than other dynasties. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, there were almost two extremes. Look at the Ming Dynasty's poor appearance and still confronted whoever it was. The Song Dynasty was so rich, but the country was not stable at all.
The same is true in modern society. Look at how stable and ruthless the most ruthless the Goryeo is. You see how rich and chaotic the one next to him. If he had changed the same weapons and equipment, he would have thought that Goryeo would have been unified long ago.
It's gone too far again.
In short, Chai Rong, who came from Emperor Taizong of Tang, actually allowed Kaifeng's free atmosphere in helplessness, so that Kaifeng City had actually become the commercial center of the Song Dynasty, and raised the social atmosphere of freedom and openness of the Song Dynasty, which seemed to be sharp in class contradictions but actually blurred in class boundaries.
This also leads to the fact that merchants actually have great voice in Kaifeng City. The emperor even personally cared about the business conditions of some great merchants. Zhao Guangyi's rights were based on Kaifeng prefecture as the foundation. The business world was an extremely important part of his power composition. Otherwise, where did his money bribed officials to establish a network of relationships?
A money house is enough to gather all the merchants in Kaifeng City under their command of the King of Yan. At least it can dig out Zhao Guangyi's corner. If it really doesn't work, you can even consider finding a way to move the rich merchants in Kaifeng to Luoyang.
However, this is naturally a downside. Every city has its own unique positioning. Kaifeng City's status as a commercial center is at least irreplaceable in the entire north. Luoyang's positioning is industry rather than commerce, but no matter what, this is still an effective means.
During this period, Han Delang was busy with this matter everywhere. With the lead of the Salt and Iron Society and the Sun Family, other merchants were very interested and expressed their willingness to set an example to exchange and even donate the copper coins and even copper ingots stored in their homes in order to invest.
The national credit of the Song Dynasty... How to say it, at least Zhao Kuangyin is still very good, but the speed of changing dynasties over the Five Dynasties is a bit evil, but fortunately, most of them inherit the political system of the previous dynasty, especially people like the father and son of the Sun family. People generally believe that if they change the world, they are at least of Feng Dao's level.
Therefore, Han Dejie is busy refusing and choosing a lot of work now, but those who fail to invest in the stock also say that they will definitely exchange it, so there should be no need to worry about copper reserves in the short term.
The two of them also arranged for Sun Yue to raise money from the army. Since they were imitating the East India Company, how could there be no stocks? But little by little, these things like stocks are only open to the military and military families, a bit similar to original stocks, and are considered an invisible benefit, that is, the Military Commission.
Sun Yue was also very troubled. He didn't have much money, less than six million guan, but he asked to invest in copper coins and not want silk cloth and silk.
To be honest, even if they are given a chance, they may not be able to catch them. First of all, they may not have so much spare money. What about soldiers? Even if their military pay was pretty good in the Song Dynasty, how many of them saved money? Although Sun Yue was selling the money in this matter, he had to buy original shares even if he borrowed money.
But how many people have the knowledge of cheating? Not to mention these soldiers, aren’t there many people who sold their original stocks in Modern Tencent?
Senior generals are rich, and it is easy to raise them. With the current reputation of the Sun family, as long as they open their mouths, many people are eager to give them money to invest. Even if they don’t understand any strategic analysis, they all know that the father and son are a pair of little gods of wealth, and they will have meat to eat.
But the problem is that Sun Yue doesn't want this money. First of all, once he has a community of interests with these senior generals, he will easily be targeted by Zhao Kuangyin. After all, Zhao Pu just formed children and Li Chongju and both of them were dealt with. His relationship with Sun Chunming... He then hooked up with the military's powerful generals...
Do you really think that Zhao Kuangyin doesn't kill anyone?
Furthermore, Sun Yue couldn't help but ask himself. After all, the Military Commission was the team of Cao Bin. Cao Bin himself had an average qualification and prestige in front of military leaders, not to mention that Sun Yue could not give them this opportunity.
So after thinking about it, Sun Yue still had to implement this matter on the union, whether it was to raise money or promote it, in short, they had to rely on their efforts. But these unions had just received Sun Yue's high-level institutional ideas and were all reorganized, and they were in chaos. It seemed that they could not take on new tasks yet, so they had to watch it in two days.
As a result, in a few days, Han Derang had something wrong again and brought two bald donkeys, saying that the matter was too big, he could not make the decision himself, so he asked Sun Chunming to talk to Sun Yue himself. The father and son were confused, and the two bald donkeys introduced themselves:
"Amitabha Buddha, the poor monk Shaolin presided over Huiliang, has met two grandpas."
"Amitabha Buddha, the host of the Daxiangguo Temple is incompetent, and I have met two grandsons of Sun."
