One thousand three hundred and ninety-fourth section negotiation 1
After listening to Liu Che's words, Guan Tao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Tianlai Novel | 2
Needless to say, everyone knows the profits of Yantie Yamen!
In this world, who doesn’t eat salt? Who doesn’t have iron?
Although Guantao doesn't pay much attention to the private price of salt and iron, she knows one thing - now, the salt she eats every day costs hundreds of dollars per kilogram!
When she thought about it, the salt Niluzi ate would have to be sold for dozens of dollars per pound, right?
And how many people are there in the world?
If each person eats a few kilograms of salt a year, the money will come rolling in!
As for the coining of money?
Guantao is so understanding!
At first, Deng Tong had a good relationship with her. One time after drinking, Deng Tong once revealed to her that he made tens of millions of profits a year by casting money!
This is even when there is competition from King Wu’s minted money!
Today, all other coins on the market have been defeated by the Han Dynasty's five-baht coin.
If the output of five-baht coins hadn't been limited, I'm afraid other minted coins would have been completely eliminated.
The profit from making money must be tens of millions no matter what!
Liu Che looked at Guantao and smiled in his heart.
In other words, Guantao is so easy to fool.
This woman is the kind of person who is blind to money.
"Salt and Iron Division... I plan to split it into 10,000 shares. I will take 7,000 shares myself, and the remaining 3,000 shares. I will use 100 gold per share to recruit princes, princes, relatives and 2,000 shi...
"Liu Che smiled and revealed his plan: "Auntie, would you like to become a shareholder?"
"What is this 'share'?" Although Guantao's heart was pounding, he still kept an eye on it and asked.
"Auntie, have you read Suan Jing?" Liu Che asked with a smile.
Guantao shook his head in confusion. How could she have time to recite this sutra?
"So when I break a moment, I think the sentence (i.e. hook) is three wide, the strand is four, and the diameter (i.e. string) is five!" Liu Che explained with a smile: "It is the length of one side of a triangle. I took its meaning and used it as
The quantifier means salt and iron department, the term for money..."
At this time, the word "stock" has only two interpretations.
One is the thigh, and the other is the long side of the scalene triangle.
Liu Che then chose the latter as a quantifier. Others had nothing to say, as long as they could understand it.
"This 'share' can be divided into dividends..." Liu Che said briefly: "For example, last year, the Salt and Iron Yamen actually reported a profit of 130 million. If it is divided according to this method, each share can get a dividend of 13.
Thousands of dollars..."
This 130,000 yuan made Guantao's heart beat.
She immediately said: "Emperor, my aunt doesn't have much money...but...my aunt can still get these few hundred shares..."
Liu Che almost died laughing after hearing this.
These few hundred shares are worth tens of thousands of gold!
Is this still considered no money?
But in Guantao's heart, there were only countless five baht coins flying around at this moment.
One share costs 130,000 per year, and one hundred shares equals 1.3 million!
And she could go to Donggong to borrow some, then ask Liang Wang to borrow some, and then ask brothers Chen Xu and Chen Jiao to get the money, and it would be possible to collect the subscription money for one thousand shares.
In this way, thirteen million can be divided a year.
Ten years is 130 million!
The princes and princes did not dare to think that a hundred generations would be enough!
Thinking like this, Guantao felt his whole body became lighter.
Liu Che continued to fool her: "In addition, this money bank should also implement the same method, but the money bank costs five hundred gold per share..."
When Guantao heard this, he was dumbfounded.
Five hundred gold per share?
Wouldn’t those ten thousand shares cost five million gold?
Is it possible that the profit of casting money is ten times or a hundred times that of salt and iron?
But how did she know that, if possible, Liu Che was not willing to let this institution, which is currently a money bank and may be a central bank in the future, contaminated with any other private funds.
This institution is what Liu Che left to his descendants.
Liu Che planned to establish an institution similar to the Federal Reserve in the Han Dynasty.
However, unlike the Federal Reserve, this institution will be controlled by the royal family, and its top management must all be members of the royal family.
In this way, the Liu family controlled the finances of the Han Dynasty.
This is also a retreat he left to his descendants - in case the power of capital becomes difficult to control in the future, then rule from the top, hide behind the scenes, and hand over state power to ministers and cabinets.
But the royal family can still rely on finance, control and influence the world, and control the army and power.
More importantly, Liu Che knows how important money is.
And in the future, his descendants may be weaklings, cowards, otakus, etc.
But as long as the royal family firmly controls finance, powerful ministers will not be able to overturn the situation.
A scumbag without money will have an army to obey his orders?
Of course, this selfish behavior has other purposes.
Liu Che needed the country to continue to operate according to his wishes for at least a hundred years after him, in order to raise the technological level of the entire country to the late stage of the steam revolution and ignite the fuse of the electric revolution.
However, without money, these things cannot be accomplished.
Of course, you can say that as long as the country has money, that will be enough.
But the question is - where can the money in the treasury be put to private use?
Just like now, when Liu Che goes to the treasury to get money, he has to go through court consultation and at least have to make some superficial remarks, but when he goes to the young man's house to get money, he can do it with just an order.
This is the difference between public and private.
Now, the disintegration of the Shaofu is inevitable.
The future Shaofu will become a pure industrial machine.
Its financial rights, mining rights and tax rights will be stripped away one after another.
Some can be confiscated as state institutions, while others will continue to maintain their functions as private institutions of the royal family.
As for the money, this is the first thing to be taken out.
At the same time, it is also an eye-catcher.
Only when others are looking at it, Liu Che can hide other things that need to be hidden.
It's like when you watch a magic show, the magician will always bring something to attract your attention.
"So many..." Guantao murmured in his mind.
The money shop was not attractive enough to her, mainly because the prices were too high.
The investment is five times that of the Salt and Iron Company, but the output may not be as high as that of the Salt and Iron Company.
After all, there is only so much money in circulation in the world.
The Shaofu mints money every year, but only one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand is produced in one year.
But the profit is far less than that of salt and iron.
Therefore, Guantao made a smart choice: "Then I will buy five hundred shares of Salt and Iron Company first..."
After Guan Tao finished speaking, he seemed a little worried that Liu Che would break the contract, so he couldn't wait to add: "I will send the money in two days..."
Five hundred shares equaled fifty thousand gold, and the total weight was close to ten tons, so it would take several days to transport it.
Liu Che looked at Guan Tao and smiled slightly.
Because he knows that the profits of salt and iron have only been in the past few years.
After some time, when people all over the world began to learn how to make salt, when the pig iron production of the Han Dynasty reached a limit, and when the pig iron was enough to satisfy the market.
Then its profits will plummet.
Liu Che never planned to eat salt and iron until he died.
Until now, what Yantie Yamen has done is to seize the market with prices or preferential policies that are far lower than those of other competitors.
Take coarse salt as an example. Currently, the cheapest and largest quantity sold by Yantie Yamen is coarse salt.
This kind of coarse salt only costs five yuan per pound.
Far lower than the cost of all other competitors - because others have to cook salt and make brine.
As a result, the private salt industry collapsed.
Another example is ironware. Nowadays, salt and iron yamen rely on large quantities, high quality and low prices, and at the same time rely on the policy of fake farming tools to seize the market.
No matter how awesome your private ironware merchant is, can he survive state regulation? Can he survive the counterfeit farm tools policy?
Therefore, now, private iron dealers basically supply directly to Shaofu.
It is impossible for them to challenge Shaofu's monopoly.
However, one day, this model will become outdated and eliminated.
Especially as the country's pig iron production continues to increase, iron will definitely become a common commodity.
Just like cloth, it no longer has the power to become equivalent.
Of course, nowadays, whether we are smelting iron or weaving cloth, we are printing money.
The difference is that the era of money printing and huge profits in iron smelting will soon come to an end.
As late as ten years or as early as three years, pig iron production will increase to a level sufficient to meet people's normal needs.
On the other hand, the textile industry can probably continue to enjoy an era of huge profits for another twenty years.
There may even be an era of huge profits that lasts for more than a hundred years!
You can imagine how attractive cloth is to other countries in today's world.
This means that in the future, the Han Dynasty is likely to use a large amount of cloth and other textiles to dump them all over the world.
Destroy the handmade textile and weaving industries of all countries, and at the same time accumulate the first pot of gold for the capital of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Liu Che laid out his plans here very early.
As of today, we have gathered over 150,000 women who are dedicated, hard-working and hardworking...
These are the Bai Can and Chung slaves of the past.
Sikong and Chengdan, who are male, can live a normal life after liberation.
But it is almost difficult for these Bai Can and Chong slaves to integrate into normal society.
Because they have almost no skills to survive independently in society.
What's more important is that at the time of liberation, most people were already very old (compared to the Western Han Dynasty), and most of them had children (no one knows who their fathers are).
Therefore, Liu Che ordered Dongxi Zhiling to gather these people and conduct training.
Now, these people use their own hands every year to contribute to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and to support themselves and their children.
These liberated Bai Can and Chung slaves became the first group of economically independent women in the Han Dynasty.
With the help of these ingenious women, the textile technology of the Han Dynasty continued to develop.
Although, the Jenny loom has not yet been discovered.
However, the three-spindle pedal spinning wheel has been understood. Although there are still some problems and flaws, the technical difficulties in the weaving of coarse cloth and cotton have been overcome.
The cotton gin was also invented, and the technology of cotton seeding was conquered.
Now, the Han Dynasty's industrial revolution in the textile industry was only just a step away.
Within ten years, large-scale manual textile technology will be popularized, and cotton cultivation will also bring huge profits.
As for Liu Che himself, he had already found a position and lay down, waiting for money to fall from the sky.
Of course, Liu Che would not tell others these things.
………………………………
Guantao comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Such is her personality.
Otherwise, in history, she would not have thought about raising a pretty boy when she was over sixty years old, and even brought the pretty boy to see Emperor Wu.
At the same time, he also asked his pretty boy to create the two allusions of "cuckold" and "master".
So much so that the history books blamed the Han princess's unhealthy personal ethics on her head.
In fact, how can Guantao afford such a big responsibility?
Starting with the eldest princess Lu Yuan, if the eldest princess Liu doesn’t raise a pretty girl to make noodles, is she still the eldest princess?
Even Emperor Wu's eldest princess Pingyang actually used to be a pimp and presented beauties to the emperor's younger brother.
After Guantao left, Zhou Yafu came out from behind the screen.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to do this?" Zhou Yafu sighed and asked respectfully.
"This is a golden opportunity!" Liu Che said looking at Zhou Yafu's face.
Liu Che knew very well that he needed Zhou Yafu's cooperation and cooperation, whether on the issues of various schools of thought or on the current national economic policies and systems.
Moreover, we must negotiate with Zhou Yafu and hundreds of scholars, princes, bureaucrats and scholar-officials.
Naturally, both sides have their own bottom lines and principles.
Just like now, Liu Che's bottom line and principle is that the current national stability and economic prosperity must be maintained and maintained.
And Zhou Yafu's bottom line...
Then you don’t have to think about it, just substitute the thoughts of the famous officials you can see in the history books.
For a true Chinese nobleman and gentleman.
He must not be able to sit back and watch as some of his colleagues are merchants.
The Legalists are a little better. Although the Legalists yell at businessmen and use cruel methods, they do not reject working with businessmen - for the Legalists, as long as the results meet their expectations, they don't care about the process!
But, for others, this is not the case.
Especially Confucianism.
The concept of righteousness and benefit since Confucius determines the Confucian attitude towards merchants to be absolute.
As the saying goes, 'The virtue of a gentleman, the virtue of a villain, the wind on the grass will destroy it!'
This means that the ruling class, especially those at the top, must set an example and serve as a role model for the rest of the world.
One's own moral cultivation must be maximized, and at the same time, one must also set an example in other aspects.
As the saying goes, "A gentleman is concerned with righteousness, and a villain is concerned with profit." If you want to be a gentleman, you cannot talk about profit.
In Liu Che's eyes, this Confucian view of justice and benefit is only suitable for feudal society and slave society, but it is certainly not suitable for the future capitalist society.
The reason is simple - how dare you prevent capitalists from chasing profits? The mentally ill are already in gear!
On another level, the national policy of the Han Dynasty, at least for now, is still based on agriculture, and merchants are a lowly industry.
Suddenly, officials and relatives were loosened from doing business - isn't that a blatant slap in the face of all previous emperors?
Zhou Yafu's stance of being close to Confucianism and his own education and knowledge made him unable to recognize such a thing.
But never mind...
In this world, everything can be traded, everything can be negotiated, and everything can be compromised.
