Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 358 Collusion between officials and businessmen
After simply figuring out what Sun Chunming meant, Sun Yue was shocked again and again, and had to say that his father was really a bit big, or ambitious.

Sun Yue knew that Sun Chunming had always been interested in establishing a large business alliance similar to the East India Company, but in the past, no matter how awesome the Sun family was, no matter how richest they were, few were willing to play with him.

Until later, he was in charge of Luoyang, with the Sun family's industry as the core, relying on the glass factory and the steel factory, which can be regarded as a package of capital in the Central Plains. Basically, retired military bosses and wealthy businessmen from various companies joined Unfortunately, it is only a preliminary cooperation, and there is still a long way to go to unify the business circles of the Central Plains, not to mention that the capital forces outside the Central Plains are not small.

More importantly, he didn't dare to continue to develop, and he gradually lost control of more and more powerful shareholders.Secondly, the power of this capital is too great to easily arouse Zhao Kuangyin's suspicion, so the gain outweighs the loss, so Annai can only be ambitious and plan to find another opportunity.

Who would have thought that the opportunity would come so soon, he himself was confused and had no plans at all, yet he would become one of the three envoys, Chu Zhaofu, who even hated the officials, Intentionally even though he and the third envoy competed for power.

No matter what era, when power and financial resources are perfectly combined, the energy that erupts is incomparably huge. This is not addition, but multiplication, or even the power of Te Niang.

After the successful operation of the merchant banknote salt system, tasted the sweetness, and received praise from the court, he went on the road of combining government and business, or in other words, colluding forever. When doing business, it is very unpleasant to see others colluding, but if you collude yourself, hahahaha.

Sun Chunming did not leave the casting of silver coins directly to the Salt and Iron Department. Instead, he established a silver and money bureau under the Salt and Iron Department, which was responsible for coordinating businessmen from all over the world to build banks, because silver coins and copper coins were required to be minted in banks in proportion. redeemed.

A common sense of finance is popularized here. Even in the Ming Dynasty when the economy collapsed, there was an official ratio for currency exchange. It would be nice to be able to exchange one tael of silver, just like the gold round coupons in my relatively difficult period. In principle, the exchange rate with RMB is one to one or one point one, but in fact no one will exchange it with you for one to two.

If there is no money bank to rely on, Sun Chunming will mint new coins as soon as his upper lip touches his lower lip, then it is nonsense. This is one of the most fundamental rights of a country. That's going to cause big trouble. It doesn't matter how you set the exchange ratio. The common people don't recognize you.

The Yuan and Ming dynasties also issued tens of trillions of paper money.

But it’s different with a bank, which is equivalent to the central bank. For example, Sun Chunming stipulated that one silver coin is equal to one tael of silver, which is equal to ten copper coins. Regardless of whether the exchange ratio is outrageous or not, as long as ordinary people can exchange it at the bank at any time, this ratio is Established, and before the influx of Japanese silver, this system is unlikely to collapse.

So in essence, this is not a new coinage, it is just a flying ticket or Jiaozi that came out in advance. It is just a transition based on silver.

To be honest, this kind of currency has nothing to do with ordinary people. Sun Chunming wanted the court to combine the tax system with silver coins, but was rejected by Zhao Kuangyin.

So following the trend, this thing has become a purely commercial item, and it can be exchanged for at least one thousand coins, which is ten thousand coins, directly turning this silver coin into something that only the top rich families can afford.

The bank needs to store a large amount of copper coins, but the imperial court has no money, and the promotion and use of silver coins cannot be separated from the support of big businessmen, so the bank has naturally become a government-business joint office, with [-]% of the shares in Yan Tiesi, [-]% of the shares are scattered among the people, and another [-]% is going to be thrown to Sun Yue's Military Commission, so that the middle-level army can raise funds to buy it.

As long as this thing develops well, it will also merge the national mining business and even the salt and iron business, and it will almost have the charm of the East India Company.

If the politics is clear, silver coins can be promoted from these big businessmen soon, so that power relying on private wealth can penetrate into every corner of the empire smoothly and efficiently, and opening a bank no matter when and where, They are all fucking lucrative industries. Even if you can’t see where the profits are for the time being, the ancients are not stupid. Those who are qualified will inevitably flock to join, and combine the power of capital with power to increase exponentially.

This model is a bit similar to the Shanxi Jin merchant group in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was purely private business, without an official background, and could not get out of a province after all, although it later developed to a certain extent by being a traitor to the Manchu Qing. , but just like that, there is no way to compare with Sun Chunming.

Sun Yue knew that his father really wanted to create something like the Dutch East India Company in Song Dynasty.

By the way, the Sun family accounted for nearly [-]% of the [-]% of the private capital. In the future, even if they follow the example of the East India Company and get out the stocks, [-]% of the Yantie Division will remain unchanged forever.

At first glance, the rights are in the hands of the Sun family, but in essence, the rights belong to the Yantie Division. It’s just that the Sun family, as the initiator of this matter, also owns the largest private shares. Even if they leave this job one day in the future, It can still retain a certain amount of influence.

However, in the future, the rights of Yantie Division will definitely be taken back even if they want to, and one of the three divisions must be the dominant one, even surpassing the Chengzhi Division in the Privy Council, unless the f*cking Zhao Kuangyin transfers Sun Chunming to Duo The branch went to work for two years.

It feels good to think that one day in the future, there will be an East India Company in my hands. It is a behemoth with its own army, minting rights, diplomatic rights, and even war power. Can be regarded as half a prime minister, hehe, let Sun Chunming have a try?
But obviously that's a matter for the future, and I guess it will have to wait until he is promoted to become the real third envoy.

At least for the time being, the real role of this thing in the short term is to move the capital.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin can agree, because now Zhao Guangyi's Jin Wang party is all swarming to hate Zhao Pu. Unable to bear the general trend, it really made them do things without showing any signs of showing.

Speaking of it, it seems that there is nothing between the father and son that has nothing to do with Qian.
