Chapter 12 New Stage, New Life

After Yun Zhao set his tone down, Hattori was no longer eligible to see Yun Zhao again.

After that, he will face officials from the Lantian Department of Commerce.

This time, Hattori was deeply responsible and brought many Japanese people.

This time the negotiations are related to the formal business exchanges between Lantian and the country, and the country cannot help but not pay attention to it.

Yun Zhao never intended to import anything except silver from Japan.

Compared with Lantian County, the country of Wa is basically still in a state of isolation and ignorance.

The reason why Yun Zhao is eager to control Daming's offshore waters has a very big relationship with Daming's commerce.

Since the main currencies of the Ming Dynasty were copper coins and silver, the currency value of real good copper coins has always been relatively stable, but the value of silver is very deformed in the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Juzheng implemented a whip method, all taxes were compiled into the currency, which resulted in insufficient copper coins, and the consequence of insufficient copper coins was that silver became popular.

If everyone exchanges bad money for silver, that's all, but Lantian County's copper plates have always been famous all over the world for their exquisite texture.

In order to win over the market, Yun Zhao acquiesced in this loss.

This has given birth to many people who rely on playing coins to make their fortunes, including Feng Ying’s commercial manager Liu Ru!

With the rapid prosperity of Lantian County's commerce, Lantian merchants' footsteps have gradually extended to all parts of the world, including the Wa country.

Daming lacks silver deposits... However, the Japanese country is not lacking. Those Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and British people are not lacking. They can get cheap silver from all over the world to trade with Daming.

Their silver is not valuable, but they can buy all kinds of precious goods at Daming's silver price, such as silk, paper, porcelain, etc., and so on.

In the process of this transaction, it seemed that everyone did not suffer, but it was Daming who was really injured.

The unfair trade made Daming's blood and sweat be profited by these **** in vain.

This is why Yun Zhao must implement silver coins.

A silver coin is not as heavy as one or two silvers, but its value is one or two silvers. A silver coin minted by Lantian can be exchanged for eight hundred copper coins, but one or two silvers cannot.

The silver ingots, silver bars, and silver bullions of foreign merchants can only pass through Lantian County when they become Lantian silver coins after being smelted by Lantian merchants.

Everyone knows that Lantian silver coins are not pure silver. In many cases, the reason why Lantian silver coins are so popular is because Lantian is too strong.

Even if the silver coin is not pure silver, but a currency in the conceptual sense, everyone is willing to use this kind of silver coin.

Yun Zhao believes that such silver coins will eventually be replaced by banknotes when the new papermaking and printing system of Yushan Academy matures.

Before that, Yun Zhao needed to hold a lot of silver and gold in his hand.

Especially gold, in Lantian County has always been the only way to go in.

When there is enough gold, Yun Zhao can use the gold as collateral to print banknotes.

Once the paper money came out, it was Yun Zhao's turn to harvest the world.

After Shi Lang sealed off the coast of Daming, he could effectively prevent the people of Daming from being robbed through commercial operations.

Daming, as the world's richest product, the highest commercial value, and the highest gross domestic product country, if effective protection is not achieved, a year of prosperous trade will cost Daming a heavy loss.

Waguni seems to have been under the leadership of Tokugawa Iemitsu, ready to firmly follow the road of retreat.

This strategy cannot be said to be wrong. It is itself a manifestation of the overwhelming burden of inequality in trade and commerce.

What Shi Lang had to do now was to lead 16 iron-clad ships patrolling the Daming sea and looting any ships they encountered at sea. Until these maritime merchants began to obediently recognize the leadership of the Lantian business, they would turn from pirates to navy.

Power is an eternal existence in this world.

When the Department of Commerce put the results of the negotiations into a document and sent it to the Yun Zhao desk, Yun Zhao signed and printed the document, and the document became effective.

As the special envoy of Tokugawa Iemitsu, Hattori finally agreed to the settlement method with cash. At the same time, he also agreed to the conditions of settlement at Fuso silver price to a limited extent. However, this condition requires the approval of Tokugawa Iemitsu. count.

Yun Zhao basically had no idea about this. He felt that Tokugawa Iemitsu probably would not use the Japanese silver price to settle the settlement. In this way, the Japanese government would suffer a lot.

Because this is equivalent to Yun Zhao having doubled the price of these goods and sold him, the method he might use is to settle with the equivalent value of gold. This is the most beneficial way for the country.

Yun Zhao himself needs massive amounts of gold to prepare his own national bank, and he will naturally agree.

Once Tokugawa Iemitsu has enough steel, gunpowder, muskets, and artillery, the Portuguese will be entrenched in ports such as Nagasaki, and the hardships of the Dutch will come.

This is called moving the whole body.

The spring and summer of this year were very good. The plague seemed to disappear all at once. At least no such horrible existence was found in the Lantian Territory. Although Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi seem to have sporadic villages wiped out by the pneumonic plague.

However, these things are far away from Lantian County, far away...

As the Lantian boundary monument continues to flee, Lantian County, which is in the center of Lantian, has become more and more prosperous.

Today's Lantian County has completely jumped out of the category of agricultural production. Almost every household has people working in workshops or doing business. For every household, agricultural income has dropped to an almost negligible level.

Therefore, in this situation, the phenomenon of land lease naturally appeared.

However, leasing is possible, but the government does not allow leases for more than five years. As for land sales, it is strictly prohibited. Individuals have no right to sell land under their own name. Moreover, if they are barren for more than two years, they will be forcibly taken back by the government. .

The people who lease land or give birth to land for sale are young people. Those who have experienced hardships and middle-aged people still regard land more than fate.

In May, the village under the jurisdiction of Maopijiang finally had wheat to harvest. When he looked at the heavy wheat ears on the ground, he knew that Lantian's rescue work in Xiangyang was completely over.

This year, naturally no taxes will be collected. However, the people still have to take out part of the grain to repay the seeds, farm tools, and cattle money borrowed from the government last year. Although it is impossible to know, people are still very happy.

Standing in the field, looking at the waves of wheat undulating with the wind, bravely opened his arms, as if to completely immerse his body in the blue sky.

This kind of heavy satisfaction far surpassed the happiness brought by him when he wrote a good poem, a new song, and a piece of opera.

Those illiterate people were harvesting by his side, busy, even if they were returning to the little children, they tried hard to throw wheat sheaves on the ox cart.

He could clearly feel that those old faces that were full of sadness, dullness, and stiffness have now become vivid, and even the old faces full of wrinkles look particularly good at this moment.

"This is what it means for a gentleman to govern the world."

At this moment, the melancholy that preoccupied Pijiang's heart completely disappeared, even if Hou Fangyu portrayed him as a character, how unbearable he portrayed him, and how ugly he was, he didn't care.

Compared with the grand scene in front of him, what Hou Fangyu did in Jiangnan was not worthwhile.

"I pretended Pijiang to lead a thousand people from nothing to nothing, till now there are crops everywhere, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, how can you, Hou Fangyu, a villain's rumors can kill.

I personally saw a thousand people under my leadership, clearing wasteland, planting land, plowing, digging ditches, building ponds and weirs, and rebuilding houses. In each of these, every building has my painstaking effort to open up frontiers. Is it you? Hou Fangyu made a few sour koji that could be compared.

From today, you Hou Fangyu has no place in my heart, and it is not worth taking a place in my heart. "

Mao Pijiang stood for a while, and then restarted harvesting the wheat.

He used to look down on this kind of thing, but now, watching the wheat being cut down by his sickle, there is an indescribable indulgence.

One of Lantian County’s assessments of local officials is to look at his proficiency in agriculture. Only those specialized departments will not assess agriculture. Of course, those in specialized departments will not be able to act as local chief officials and govern the government. One side up.

Therefore, going to the countryside to serve as the head of the district is the first step for the local chief official of Lantian County. Without this most basic step, there would be no chance of success in the back.

In Xiangyang, it is not only the village of Maopijiang that has obtained such a harvest, but the rest of the villages are basically the same. Apart from the fact that the new grain has not grown well here, there is no major problem.

It is said that the soil specimens here have been taken away by the officials of Yushan Academy who specialize in agricultural affairs, and a part of the experimental field has been opened here, and the six officials will be replanted for comparison and comparison.

This is not the first time that Lantian County has failed to promote the new grain. In the past, the promotion in southern Shaanxi was not good. However, after the cultivation of superior seedlings by the agricultural officials of Yushan Academy, it has been greatly improved.

Currently, the ineffective promotion of new grains in Hanzhong is just a temporary matter.

These people must stay in Xiangyang for three full years, and then they will be sent to serve as higher-level officials in the newly opened territories. After three years, they will be able to serve as state-level officials.

Therefore, Brao Pijiang, who calmed down, was full of expectations for his future life.

It has been a month since Dong Xiaowan came to Xiangyang. This stupid woman gave up her job at Mingyue Tower and came to Xiangyang alone with all her wealth. After putting on herself a wedding gown, she waited for her in the bedroom of Baopijiang. The man came back.

Then ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ she was scolded.

She was sent to live in a widow’s house that night, and Dong Xiaowan was repeatedly told, how could he secretly marry a wife by pretending to be Pijiang, and only a few days after he prepared for the wedding ceremony.

So, ten days later, Dong Xiaowan got a lively wedding in a farmhouse in Hanzhong, not only the wedding, but also a marriage certificate issued by the Dali Chang in Xiangyang.

Watching Dong Xiaowan feeding chickens in the yard with her Tsing Yi sarong, braving Pijiang's enthusiasm, she went into the yard and grabbed Dong Xiaowan's pots of rice grains and poured them all to the chickens and ducks.

Then he hugged Dong Xiaowan sideways and whispered in her ear: "My father may come to see me, you'd better take this opportunity to give birth to me a son."

Dong Xiaowan exclaimed: "It's still daytime..."

Mao Pijiang laughed and said, "What's the matter, I can see it clearly during the day!"
