Chapter 212 Break (2)

As soon as he saw General Lu, who had always been famous for his generous dedication, the secretary reported that there was a new visitor, who was a secondary official of the Ministry of Commerce. Zhao Qian thought about it and outlined a cold guy in his impression. Inviting this person in, it was indeed that kind of expression.

With a cold expression and a cold voice, the man said, "Prince, I heard that the Mongolian chaos is coming, and it is almost time to attack Mongolia."

Zhao Qian felt that if this guy laughed a few more times at this time, it would probably be full of the smell of sending his life to Mongolia. So Zhao Qian smiled and said, "So what?"

"I just think I should consider using military forces against Mongolia."

"I understand. This may be of great help to the interests of the Ministry of Commerce?"

"I think this is beneficial to the country and the people, so let's talk about it. Everything is up to the prince."

After seeing off this person, Zhao Qian said to the secretary: "Tell the person who comes again that I will have a meeting today."

When the secretary went out, Zhao Qianshu sat comfortably in the chair. Whether it was generous or cold, what he said was the same thing, using military force against Mongolia. The two of them were so consistent that they knew that Zhao Qian had obtained real power. In the past, when Zhao Qian had no real power, no one came to him, but most of the people who came to him wanted to find out something. At this time, there was a real feeling of letting Lai Xing in his hands.

After a while of relief, Zhao Qian took back his thoughts. In the past few days, he discussed with Luo Yiren and Yang Congqing many times, but found that the choice of war could not be completely ruled out. The premise was that the fight between Mongolia and the slave dynasty was a life-and-death battle, which consumed the huge manpower and material resources of both sides. It would be best if the slave dynasty won tragically and had to retreat to his nest. Mongolia was the imperial court's finances were exhausted and basically disintegrated.

However, Zhao Qian already understood that it would be nice to have a simple filing of such things. The facts are often very different from imagination. For example, there may be many reasons for this war, but the Song Dynasty himself did not realize its role. It was because of unintentional planting willows. The Song Dynasty's fleet in Tianzhuyang provided shipping services to the true gods who went to the holy land to meet with him in accordance with the principle that money is not profitable.

In this regard, the credit system that the Song Dynasty had established had greatly contributed to, with fair prices and helped to open up Mongolia's defenders in the holy land, so only a few people died unfortunately during the journey due to poor health or occasional factors. Although the Song Dynasty fleet adopted sea burials, they asked their passengers' fellow travelers to take the relics back.

This was entirely the rules and systems of the Song Dynasty, but it allowed more unlucky audience members to sell their money and make up the ship fee. Many people have visited the holy land every year, and many people are still not rich. When the number of such people exceeds 200,000, it put a lot of pressure on the current Sultan of the slave dynasty. The Sultan had maintained a defensive position in the face of the invasion of Mongolia, but the Sultan himself was unable to go there. Although it was not the main factor, the impact of this matter should not be underestimated.

Such an unintentional act had such a great impact. After Zhao Qian confirmed this, he had a deeper understanding of the so-called "immortality of the world". Therefore, Zhao Qian did not expect any major changes. Although war was one of the options, his ranking was not high. The most important thing at the moment was to see whether the Europa Province could maintain the established economic order in this drastic change. Although there was no clear evidence, Luo Yiren and Yang Congrong both believed that as long as they could withstand this turmoil, the economic order established by the Europa Province would be stronger.

In order to achieve his goal, Zhao Qian asked the Dasong Money House to recommend two officials and sent them to the Europa Province to assist in the work. Perhaps this action made the subordinate official of the Ministry of Commerce take action. Zhao Qian didn't think much about it. This matter was far from the stage of exploring the situation. Since Zhao Qian was already in power, why not wait for those guys to make the words clearer.

After making a decision, Zhao Qian looked for books and experts and scholars to learn about the economic frontiers. After asking a while, he felt that these people were still unreliable, so he directly looked for the most professional expert, that is, his father, to ask. Without talking about any errands, Zhao Qian only asked questions. His father hesitated and thought for a while before asking Zhao Qian: "Do you think I will tell you personally, or hold a meeting to gather the relevant personnel to speak."

"I listen to my father."

When the old lady sitting in the room heard this, she immediately spoke, "Your father is asking you, just tell me what you think!"

After hearing my mother's voice was stern, Zhao Qian did not dare to act rashly, so he could only think as I said. After thinking for a while, Zhao Qian said in embarrassment: "Official family, I think I am very stingy."

"Yes." Dad looked like I understood.

Zhao Qian said a little embarrassedly: "I think if I can monopolize something, it seems like I have taken advantage of it."

"Hahaha." Dad laughed.

My mother snorted, "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Changes" says that the Master said: When chaos arises, words are considered as a rank. If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body; if the opportunity is not secret, he will suffer a disaster. Therefore, a gentleman is careful and does not come out. It is not surprising that you have this idea."

Since I was mocked by my mother, "Your grandfather is a Jinshi, where is your grandfather?" Zhao Qian dared not show any disrespect for my mother's cultural background. He quickly asked his mother, "Can you explain this?"

It can be seen that my mother is quite satisfied with this reaction, and she explained it briefly. Confucius said: "The reason why there is always 'chaotic' is that the source of chaos is often caused by words. If the king is not careful in speaking, he will lose his trust in his ministers. If the minister is not careful in speaking, he will suffer disasters. If the important things are not careful, he will cause harm. Therefore, a gentleman is careful in his words and does not go out indiscriminately, and he will not speak randomly.

After hearing this, Zhao Qian savored the gap between his understanding and my mother's understanding, and then continued: "But the official family has always been upright."

"There is no conflict between keeping secrets and keeping secrets." I responded.

Zhao Qian could only say more clearly, "I...I just think that I have exclusive knowledge and seem to be stronger than others."

"You have this idea just means that you are too weak. If you are strong enough, you will naturally be able to fully understand and master these things. With your personality, I am afraid that you will do it based on what you know. I don't think I'm wrong with you."

After being told by my mother, Zhao Qian felt like he had returned to the time he was studying with me when he was a child. My mother was really strict at that time... But now when Zhao Qian recalled, he just felt uncomfortable being severely punished, but being able to stay by his mother was his happiest time.

Before Zhao Qian could recall, I heard my mother continue to say, "Think about it carefully, hurry up. I happened to remember something to tell your father."

Zhao Qian thought in his mind, and after a while, he suddenly remembered that he was in power at this time, and immediately made a decision, "I'll ask the official to open a class."

"Okay, I'll notify you."

Zhao Qian immediately said goodbye and couldn't help but hug his mother before leaving. When he was a child, he felt very good immediately. He saw that my mother looked disgusted, but he still touched Zhao Qian's head when Zhao Qian left. Zhao Qian left happily. When he went out, he saw that the already grown cat wanted to rub it to the cat's mother, but was scratched by the cat's mother's paws.

When he returned to the office, Zhao Qian began to prepare for the lecture, and wrote down his understanding of the economic frontier, as well as the deductions arising from his understanding and the questions in the deduction. The next day, Zhao Qian went there immediately. Among the participants, there was the cold old man. As soon as everyone exchanged a few greetings, the secretary came in to report, "The official family is coming to class." Everyone sat down immediately. After a while, Zhao Guan family walked into the classroom, put down their notebooks and began to talk about the concept of the economic frontier.

To put it bluntly, the economic frontier is the monetary hegemony of the Song Dynasty. Monetary hegemony refers to the many economic benefits that a certain currency brings to the country in the process of performing the world's monetary functions, but at the same time, it may have various negative impacts on the economies of other countries.

The essence of monetary hegemony is the financial system. Hegemonic currencies can be directly invested in other countries, and settlement must also be carried out in this currency. Once a country establishes a currency hegemony imposed by the country's "not cashing in paper money" through floating exchange rates and free exchange, the globalized financial market makes the formation of this currency hegemony possible.

The benefits of monetary hegemony are extremely great. Officials of the Song Dynasty have accepted the concept of "labor power". Although monetary hegemony will also plunder some precious metals, this is an action that monetary hegemony countries try to avoid. Through monetary hegemony and complementary financial hegemony, monetary hegemony countries directly use the labor force of more countries. They do not have to provide various social services provided by hegemony countries to their own citizens to those countries that provide labor.

Zhao Qian listened and thought, his brain almost couldn't accept so much new knowledge. When his father was resting during class, he recalled his preparations and found that his preparations were like a child's understanding of adults. First of all, he needed to be strong enough. Once he could build currency hegemony with his own strength, it was really amazing.

After sighing for a while, Zhao Qian discovered some problems. No matter how this invisible plunder is beautified, it is plundering. Since it is plunder, there must be some fatal flaws. If you think that this existence can be carried out without limit, Zhao Qian thinks this idea is too naive.

Sure enough, in the following course, the Zhao Guanjia talked about the limitations of monetary hegemony. First of all, this system itself is plundering. Once this plundering is not restricted, the people of the Song Dynasty will probably suffer. If the people of the Song Dynasty are lost, any strength will become a rootless tree without source water.

Therefore, it is okay to use this hegemony to absorb some blood, but more importantly, it is necessary to provide services. If this kind of plunder is regarded as an inexhaustible gold mountain, it will sooner or later be destroyed by this greed.
