Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 817 817 The Young Empire

 After the arrival of peace, the whole world realized that Tang’s invasion was still unstoppable in different areas. They even began to wonder whether defeating the Tang State on the battlefield would have a better chance of winning than defeating the Tang State in other fields.

Datang Group, which took over part of Cyric's industry, has penetrated into almost all industrial projects. Even if you only buy one screw, it seems to be contributing to the modernization of the Tang Dynasty.

 When the upper class of a country are proud to smoke Tang cigarettes, wear Tang suits, drive Tang rickshaws, and listen to Tang music, who can stop this **** invasion?

 The Tang people, who have the right to speak in almost every field, are invincible in every detail.

When artists from the Tang Dynasty redefined a certain aesthetic, a country's heritage and past became incompatible with modernization. As long as they shake their heads, no one will wear costume jewelry that has been used for thousands of years.

　　The songs sung on the radio are all songs performed by the idols of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't know how to hum a few lines, you will be rejected by your classmates and looked down upon by your classmates in school...

“No matter how poor a woman is, she should have a decent shoulder bag!” When such a slogan was hung on the lintel of Brunas Department Store, the simple concept of consumption was immediately crushed to dust.

Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, everything was a different scene: excellent scientists were promoted everywhere, and great workers were praised everywhere.

 No one here dares to disobey the tone set by His Majesty the Emperor, and dare to promote entertainment consumerism in this country. That is no different than finding a noose for oneself.

 In the year after the war ended, Tang's employment rate reached an astonishing close to 100%. There was not a single idler, and the entire country was full of vitality.

 In one year, the area of ​​cultivated land in the Tang State doubled. All types of sown seeds were improved seeds, and both cotton and grain were harvested.

 The progress in industry is even more exaggerated, and the materials produced here are almost supplying the world's consumption. The entire world is sharing Tang's technological achievements, and everyone's lives are closely related to Tang.

Harry started to be busy again. He held various meetings every day at the Datang Group headquarters near the water. He and his wife Jenny could only go home once every half a month.

 Every product of the Datang Group is very popular, and all businessmen who are dealing in the products of the Datang Group are making a lot of money.

  A new round of technology diffusion unfolded quietly. The newly established civil aviation companies mastered radio navigation technology, and brand-new radio equipment began to show its importance in various fields.

Countries are frantically introducing radio production equipment, equipping every ship, every tank, and every aircraft.

Hence the problem that the engine power is not enough to charge the equipment and provide sufficient power for the radio station.

Then countries began a new round of introducing high-power engines: this endless cycle caused financial difficulties for countries around the world.

 Then there were all kinds of cool operations of borrowing money. After going around, the senior officials of various countries found that the money they owed to Tang State had not decreased, and the money they owed to others was more and more.

"We learn from each other. We can no longer lend money to these countries. If they can't afford to pay back, they will only owe more and more, and then use their brains." Tang Mo said to several dignitaries in charge of Tang's finances. .

Sitting in the conference room were the Princess Alice, the Imperial Finance Minister Simone, and of course the head of the Imperial Bank, Fancoms.

These people are all super giants in the financial world, and just one of them is enough to make the emperors of other empires come out to greet them with smiles on their faces.

 There is no way, who makes them the ruthless people who control the world's money bags? There are almost no countries that do not owe them money.

"So, in order to spread risks, we established Cyric Bank and a brand-new International Financial Capital Bank to provide loans to these countries in the names of these institutions." Alice smiled slyly and said to Tang Mo that he had recommended it to her Very happy with the plan.

Hyric Bank is naturally the financial institution of the Sirik Consortium that is actually controlled by the Datang Empire. It is newly established and is backed by funds provided by the Datang Group.

On the surface, Cyric Bank is independent, and it has nothing to do with the Imperial Bank of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, even if a new war is launched against the Tang Dynasty, the money owed to Cyric cannot be repaid.

The International Financial Capital Bank is even more interesting. Behind it are the gangs and "money laundering banks" of politicians in various countries. Dignitaries from various countries, gangsters, nobles, landlords and merchants all save money in this bank, and their backgrounds are extremely complex.

 So, if you want to borrow money from this bank, if you want to pay it back, you have to consider the collective reaction of the country's gangs and noble ministers.

 In short, money can be lent, but it is a bit difficult to default on repayment. But in order to keep up with the development of the times, countries have to lend more money and purchase more advanced equipment. The truth is actually very simple: someone else’s glass production line has been upgraded, do you want to upgrade yours too? What should I do if I don’t have money to upgrade? Find someone to borrow it from.

So other people’s steel and metallurgical production lines have been upgraded? Has anyone else’s fertilizer production line been upgraded? Has someone else's engine production line been upgraded?

“Now, on the whole, the borrowing levels of various countries are still within a safe range. Each country has financial experts, and they are working hard to stabilize their own economies.” Simone added.

 Compared with pure industrial technology, in the traditional financial field, the talent pool of countries around the world can still keep up with the development of Tang Dynasty in this field.

  After all, it is much easier to accept a series of new ways of playing than to learn a series of new technologies. The technical aspect is hard-core. Without understanding and accumulation, you will not be able to play. Financial knowledge is by analogy. It may not be easy to invent and create, but it will be much easier once you understand it.

There may still be some loopholes that can be exploited in a short period of time, but as time goes by, everyone will understand the basic operating mode of this set of things.

 Anyone who can serve as a country's finance minister is not a fool, not to mention that there are many helpers with dandelion rings around them who will be kind to help...

"The trade surplus is really too big, and it may not be beneficial to us if it continues like this, so I suggest that even if some are wasted, we should return part of the profits as much as possible." Alice said to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo nodded. He also knew that if he was the only one making money in the world, the economy would likely stagnate or even collapse.

It is not difficult to make other people's money, at least for him as a time traveler, but the prerequisite is that the other person has money. If the whole world is impoverished, who can he turn to to make money?

"What you said makes sense. From a macro perspective, we are indeed oppressing other countries to the point of having no way out. This is not a good phenomenon." Tang Mo said: "Raise the prices of agricultural products and encourage these countries to export agricultural and sideline products. "

"This is already being done. We purchase large quantities of live cattle, live pigs, mutton and aquatic products in the international market..." Alice explained helplessly: "We have even opened large chicken farms in many places to encourage these The state raises chickens and ducks…”

Her tone was full of resentment: "In order to reduce the trade surplus, the international transaction prices of meat and agricultural products have more than doubled than in the past... Moreover, we are the only one importing these things in large quantities, and our domestic similar products Prices have hit record lows.”

“The price should be raised a little bit, so that these countries can see hope.” Tang Mo also knew this.

Agricultural production in the Tang State received huge subsidies, because agricultural products produced by farmers could not be sold at high prices.

 A massive amount of imported goods flooded the market. Because people had just become wealthy and their demand for meat products was not that high, they could only rely on price cuts to stimulate consumption.

Frankly speaking, the financiers of the Tang Dynasty are at the same level as their foreign counterparts. They are immature and inexperienced and often cause problems. They then rely on the Tang Empire's abundant capital to suppress these problems.

After all, Tang Mo only had some technical knowledge in his mind. Regarding this kind of economic knowledge, he could only rely on his layman's and vague memories to occasionally provide some opinions.

  So the Tang Empire was not a powerful country without shortcomings: its biggest problem was that in addition to its technological leadership, it did not have obvious advantages in finance and institutions.

Perhaps its system is more advanced than the pure feudal lord system, but in fact it relies more on the enterprising "young bureaucracy" that emerged from the new empire.

This system has not been completely corroded, and can still effectively implement the imperial policy with the instillation of many new ideas.

As for the problems that arise in the process of growth, it can only be like other countries, soldiers come to cover up the water and the soil comes.

 There is still a difference, that is, the troubles in the Tang State were all caused by the new system in the process of trying to implement it, while the troubles in other countries were caused by the new system in the Tang State in comparison.

"Then...if that doesn't work, let's increase the price of some coal...that's all. It won't be so troublesome to hoard." Alice said depressedly.

Oil storage is too troublesome, and Tang State does have too many channels for oil imports. Raising oil prices is undoubtedly too sensitive.

 Longdao, Chu State, Qin State, Dahua Empire and the southern oil fields... so much oil gathered in Tang State did create a lot of pressure on storage.

 Coal is different. Even if it is piled in the open air, as long as there is a place and fire control is well controlled, there will be no problems in a short time.

“Then do as you say.” Tang Mo nodded in agreement as he was good at what he said.
