Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

However, monopoly is not a long-term way to develop, only fair competition can have a good business environment, and it is time to let more people enter there. "

Zhao Ji was also helpless. Even though he was the emperor, he couldn't force the merchants to take out their belongings, so he could only think of such a way. Using power, only Liang Shumou's caravan was allowed to enter the northeast to operate, which immediately worked, and everyone else hurriedly donated.

Zhao Ji doesn't know much about business, but he has heard a lot about it. He has also watched so many TV and movies about business wars, and so many newspaper news reports. Zhao Ji's grasp of business is better than that of this era. People have to be more accurate.

After more than a year of development, banks have now opened in all states and counties, and the printed banknotes have a high degree of anti-counterfeiting. Originally, Jiaozi appeared in the Song Dynasty, but it was still relatively simple. Now, after the vigorous promotion of the Song Dynasty court, the concept of banknotes has been implemented from top to bottom.

Zhao Ji set the banknotes into several denominations, one hundred yuan, fifty yuan, twenty yuan, ten yuan, five yuan, one yuan, five yuan and one yuan. One hundred yuan is always one hundred yuan, and 10 yuan is one dime.

Nowadays, most people still use copper coins to trade, which is not only cumbersome and inconvenient, but also wastes a lot of metal. Now it is much more convenient to use banknotes.

So Zhao Ji began to ask people to recycle copper coins and use banknotes instead, and banks in various states and counties were responsible for exchanging them. Of course, the implementation was not smooth at the beginning, and the people still had concerns about these papers, but Zhao Ji believes that with the use of various big businessmen, it will gradually become popular.

With the issuance of banknotes, Zhao Ji regained control of the entire country's finances in his own hands. Of course, the currency must be issued in moderation, and people must have firm confidence in it. Once it depreciates, it will be difficult to control. Fortunately, Zhao Ji has sent people to Dongying, where there are a lot of gold and silver mines. As long as there are gold and silver reserves, the banknotes will be very strong, and there is no need to worry about collapse.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a change in the Southwest Yi!" Li Gang reported to Zhao Ji.

"Oh," Zhao Ji frowned, "what's the matter?""

"Look, Your Majesty, this is the memorial of the Southwest Yi."5

Many memorials are now directly handed over to the Military Aircraft Office for approval, and then forwarded to Zhao Ji for review. However, for such a major event, Li Gang did not dare to specialize in it, and of course he had to come and meet His Majesty in person.

Zhao Ji looked at it, it turned out that the Maitreya Sect had revived, and these guys were really tenacious like cockroaches, and they didn't clean up after many times of cleaning. Buddhism and Taoism can be ignored, but Maitreya Sect is a cult. Zhao Ji immediately replied, "Let Han Shizhong lead his troops to encircle and suppress them, just fine soldiers! 35

Han Shizhong has always been in the south and wanted to go to the north to fight against the Jurchen, but he was not allowed. Han Shizhong is a good general, but he is not very good in conduct. This guy went to the Jiangnan water town and saw the beautiful beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. He begged a dozen concubines in one breath, and he lived a pleasant life every day.

Zhao Ji knew about these things, and there was Eunuch Wu's secret agency that reported them to Zhao Ji. But Zhao Ji doesn't care, it's a feudal society now, if you don't have enough interests, how can you win over the generals to work hard for you, the soldiers are easy to fool, but like Han Shizhong, a veteran who is in the military, has to rely on it Enyi still benefits.

As long as they can do things, as long as they are loyal to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji does not strictly demand them in the subsections. In other words, he is not qualified to ask others that much. He owns ten thousand concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. Why can't he let others marry more concubines?

Moreover, the important place for coin reform is the south, and now the economic center has actually shifted to the south, especially Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, where the economy is very developed because of the rise of the Maritime Silk Road.

After dealing with the matter, Zhao Ji lost his mind and wanted to see what the south is like now.

The last time Li Bao went to sea, although he did not find corn or potatoes, he did find tobacco from Africa, which made Zhao Ji more excited. There are too few things to entertain in this Song Dynasty. He misses the days of smoking and farting, and of course he wants to promote the cultivation of tobacco.

And Zhao Ji also has an idea, that is, tobacco can make money, and it is still very profitable. It's a pity that it has to wait for several months. Li Bao brought only the seeds. Now it's too late for him to go out for another trip. It takes a year to go out to sea, so it's better to plant it quickly.

But when I go out again, I will not go to Africa, but to America!

Because Zhao Ji has built a steamer propelled by a steam engine, the possibility of finding America is greatly increased.

We'll have to wait and talk about this matter. Li Bao and the others need to take a break, and the ship has not yet been installed and debugged.

After explaining it, Zhao Ji went out with Ling Bingyu and Yu Lingxian. Of course, he took the golden sculpture and the snow sculpture. They want to go to the south, first go to Han Shizhong to make an order, and then go to the south to play.

The golden and snow sculptures are naturally fast, but because they are not in a hurry, they stop and go along the way.

820 visited Yingtianfu, Jiangningfu, and Jianglingfu, and stayed in each place for a day to see the customs of these places and eat the unique snacks here. Although the Song Dynasty was extravagant, people had begun to pay attention to the tricks of cooking, but it was still a lot worse than later generations. It was nothing more than the use of gold and silver plates, and the dishes were much more primitive.

However, in the Song Dynasty, there was no industrial pollution, no chemical fertilizers, and no hormones. The pure natural ingredients brought a rare natural delicacy. Zhao Ji and two daughters can also be considered to have satisfied the desire of foodies, walking all the way to eat all the way.

"This Song Dynasty is much better than Xixia, and the people are rich, which makes people very envious!" Yu Lingxian couldn't help but sigh while walking on the street.

Zhao Ji laughed, "You are also from the Great Song Dynasty now, so you don't need to feel too much emotion. In fact, if Xixia returned to the Great Song Dynasty, it would soon become richer..."

Yu Lingxian rolled her eyes at Zhao Ji and didn't answer. Although she came to the Song Dynasty, but after all, she grew up in Xixia since she was a child, and she still had a little more heart for Xixia.

"Okay, I didn't say it. Let's just let it all take its course, it can't be forced," Zhao Ji shook his head. He was tall and surrounded by two beauties like flowers and jade, and the street naturally became a place for people. focus.
