"The Celestial Empire has a trading point at the southernmost tip of Liaodong. The emperor only needs to send 20,000 additional soldiers there."

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment and said: "South of Fuzhou (Wafangdian area in Dalian)?"

"That's right."

Wang Kai took a breath of cold air, that was under Jin Jun's nose!

"If I send troops there, won't I be at odds with the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Could it be that the king of the country is at odds with me, the Song Dynasty, so he can live alone?"

Wang Kai fell into deep thought.

If the Song Dynasty completely severed ties with Goryeo, it could be said to have completely isolated Goryeo.

From Wang Kai's perspective, this was very scary, because the Jin Kingdom could send troops to destroy Goryeo at any time without any pressure.

As early as the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the Jurchens sent people to conquer Goryeo, and they made great progress along the way.

Goryeo has been living in the shadow of the Jin Kingdom for many years.

Seeing Wang Kai's hesitation, Xie Qian continued: "If the king is willing, I can go back and arrange other matters for the country."

"What's the matter?"

"In the south of Liaodong, a large amount of grain is needed. Originally, the grain supply has been handed over to Dengzhou. I can lobby the emperor to hand over the grain supply to you."

"if that is the case……"

"In that case, the king can make money from grain trade in the south of Liaodong, and we will settle the matter in copper coins."

This is a huge temptation.

Goryeo naturally had its own currency, but the casting technology was poor and it was only circulated in its own country.

It was necessary to use Goryeo's own currency to buy silk, calligraphy and other treasures from the Song Dynasty, but the people of the Song Dynasty were not willing to accept them at all.

If you can earn a lot of copper coins from the Song Dynasty in this trade, your life will be really happy in the future.

Jie Qian knew very well that if he wanted the King of Goryeo to agree, it would be useless to just talk to him about justice. He had to let him get the benefits privately.

"Isn't the envoy afraid that Xiao Wang will turn around and inform the Jin man?"

Xie Qian smiled and said: "There is no need for the king to tell us, the Jin Kingdom will soon know that we are building a city south of Liaodong."

As long as you land on the Liaodong Peninsula, you can't hide this kind of thing.

Many things on the frontline between countries are all conspiracy.

For example, when Zhao Ning built a city south of Fuzhou, he hoped that the Jin Kingdom would know about it and let the Jin army attack the city. This would play a role in lengthening the front line between the two countries and sharing the Jin army's strength.

Otherwise, can the Northern Expedition destroy the Jin Kingdom just by relying on the poor development of Liaodong?

That's okay, it's okay to dream.

Wang Kai was surprised, but he didn't say much. He just said, "Let Xiao Wang think about it for two days."

Two days later, Wang Kai agreed to Xie Qian's request.

It was already the second half of the first lunar month, there was a spring snow, and both sides of the Yellow River were covered with snow.

The Zhao Guan family took Kang Wang Zhao Gou and went hunting outside Tokyo.

"The officials are still brave, but the ministers are really not as good as them." Zhao Gou said modestly.

"Brother Ninth is too humble." Zhao Guanjia threw his bow and arrow to Jing Chao and walked towards the camp.

Zhao Gou followed.

Zhao Ning suddenly asked: "How is Kaifeng Prefecture's implementation of handing banknotes to the countryside going?"

"The implementation has been very smooth. Recently, the business of blacksmith shops in Tokyo has been much better than in the past."

"how do I say this?"

Zhao Gou replied: "They have all gone to buy farm tools."

"There are still many people who are willing to do their part in farming." Zhao Ning suddenly said, "What if we implement it now?"

"There is still a problem with the implementation."

"what is the problem?"

"Many businessmen in Kaifeng Prefecture want to borrow money from banks, just like the farmers who rented their land equally under the New Agricultural Policy."

merchant?

Sure enough, businessmen have already smelled the profit opportunities in this.

Once a bank really starts to do lending business, it means the flow of funds.

Once capital flows, profits will inevitably be generated. Once profits are made, businessmen will inevitably start to gather like sharks smelling blood.

This is the order of things.

Zhao Ning asked Zhao Gou: "What do you think?"

"I think it is feasible, but we must do a good job in risk control."

"What kind of risk?"

"There is a risk in repaying the money. Not everyone can borrow money." Zhao Gou's logic is obviously still very clear. "Now the scope of agricultural loans is also very clear. They lend to farmers who rent equal land, and they also have leases granted by the Department of Agricultural Affairs.

If you have a Tian contract, you are also eligible to apply for a bank loan, which makes the risk controllable. After all, the rich deposit their money in the bank, and the bank has to pay interest to those rich on a regular basis. If the money is not repaid, the bank is afraid that it will close down.

Wouldn’t it be a big mess?”

Zhao Gou's thinking shocked Zhao Ning.

It seems that the ancients were really not stupid at all, it was just a matter of knowledge.

Not long after a new business comes out, they quickly become familiar with it and can detect the logic behind it.

As for Zhao Gou, although he is a mess, he is the smartest among Zhao Ji's many sons.

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "Then how to avoid risks?"

Zhao Gou said: "Of course there is a mortgage of the real estate deed."

Zhao Ning became more and more interested, so he didn't say much. He just asked Zhao Gou: "What are the benefits of lending money to businessmen? You can't do unprofitable things for the country. I don't have the time to help them make a fortune."

Zhao Gou replied: "If businessmen have sufficient funds, they can help the court complete the logistics and transportation of the northern route."

Zhao Ning glanced at Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou was startled by the sudden sharp look in Zhao Guan's eyes, and said quickly: "What did I say wrong? Please forgive me."

Zhao Ning laughed, patted Zhao Gou on the shoulder and said, "No, no, you are right, but you ignored a key point."

"Please give me some advice from the officials."

"Businessmen are often fragmented and cannot use the money efficiently."

"That……"

"I have an idea." Zhao Ning said, looking at the snowy scenery on the other side of the Yellow River. "It is better to launch a brand new trading company in Tokyo. In addition to registering with the government, its internal system must also be improved."

Zhao Gou asked doubtfully: "Internal system?"

"I heard that many private businessmen engage in leasing, entrustment, warehousing, contracting, partnership, etc.?"

"Yes, and there will be a certificate, that is, a contract." Zhao Gou was confused. What was the purpose of Zhao Guan's family?

Zhao Guanjia said: "Then what is the biggest difficulty for businessmen?"

"I don't quite understand what the officials mean."

"For example, a businessman in Tokyo wants to transport grain to Taiyuan. What is the biggest difficulty for this businessman?"

"Maybe it's not easy to find transporters and we need manpower."

"If there is a specialized trading company to do this, wouldn't it be possible to solve it?"

What Zhao Ning is talking about is the escort agency, which only appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Zhao Gou fell into deep thought, and then said after a moment: "The personnel of this kind of trading company may not be stable, and they cannot continue to provide escort to other trading companies."

"So we have to start with the internal system of the trading company. The imperial court stipulates that the relationship between the employer and the employee must be stable. A contract must be signed stating the amount of employment, time, and other guarantees. What do you think?"

Zhao Gou said: "In this case, can those businessmen and employers be willing?"

"You also said that their biggest pain point is the instability of their personnel. If they can stabilize their personnel, they can continue to do business. Why don't they want to?"

This actually involves the concept of company in capital society.

A company is an organization that appears when human society develops to a certain extent. The first company in the world was the Dutch East India Company.

Its biggest feature is that it is highly organized and professional enough, which greatly improves business efficiency.
