The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 2378: Smuggling by sea

Qin State Xianyang. Inside Wenyang Bank headquarters.

"The meaning of each bank is to unite, but there is a big problem in the specific share ratio. In their view, they have the right to issue currency. This is a big initiative because we can issue more Gold coins. These gold coins can get more minerals and land property rights. In addition, the local economy will also have great development. This is a very stable income. If it is distributed according to the income of each bank, this matter , It will become very difficult to handle. Therefore, the banks do not agree with such a plan, they just hope to be able to get a photo of the currency issued, and for others, they think that this should not be restricted." Xiao He said.

"But if it is not restricted, the indiscriminate logging of gold coins will bring serious consequences." Yingyu said clearly.

"But I think that the current government seems to want to see such a situation, because more gold coins can bring more investment opportunities. For example, in the brass business, the Qin military needs a lot of brass. This can only be done in the north. Obtained. And the Western Regions also have brass. However, their traffic conditions are very poor and it is very difficult to transport." Xiao He said.

"So, if we issue metal currency, we can meet the trade needs of businessmen, and they can invest in the construction of railways and improve the local traffic conditions, which is very beneficial to us." Xiao He said.

"And our contribution is this. Moreover, the issuance of gold coins is not uncontrolled. In fact, major banks have certain gold reserves. They are unlikely to turn all gold reserves into metal currencies. Moreover, the weight of the metal currency required by various countries is also limited. Therefore, in fact, this has been carried out according to our predetermined plan; distribution, at this point, I think we should not be too worried about this." Xiao He Speaking of.

"Well, as you said, as long as our major banks get a license, there is no restriction on how many gold coins can be issued. Right?" Yingyu asked Xiao He.

"Yes, that's probably what it means." Xiao He nodded and said. Xiao He attended. The major banks in Qin State participated in such a meeting. The purpose of the meeting was only one, and that was how to obtain more currency issuance on the issue of the right to issue mortgage currency issued by the government. They only negotiated according to a certain ratio. , This ratio is fixed, it is issued at a ratio of thirty-five to one. Major banks will purchase a certain percentage of bonds, and the government will mortgage them more metal currency issuance rights. Of course, the government can have a certain preferential margin. After the banks have obtained the currency issuance rights, they can issue more on a larger scale. Currency is used to stimulate the economic development of the local and Western Regions. The Qin government received sufficient funds to build the Western Regions, while merchants received sufficient funds to purchase the minerals they wanted. Land, and banks can issue more metal currency to improve their business, all three have reliable interests to turn.

The problem is that the banks do not want to follow the agreed proportions, because this limits their possibility of issuing more currencies. Under such circumstances, they prefer to be relaxed and free, and it is best that no one is in charge of them. In this way they can issue more metal currencies.

The meeting took a long time, but after the meeting it turned out like this. Everyone is selfish, and bankers are not saints. They all want to expand their banking opportunities. They don't want the current banking order established by Wenyang Bank. They want to break this order.

In their view, the Western Regions are a good opportunity because the government has released the right to issue currency. Banks can be regarded as real banks only if they have the right to issue currency. All banks think so. Wenyang Bank naturally cannot establish such a banking order.

"Okay. Let them do this. We can't control them so much. That's how things are done in the Western Regions." Yingyu thought about it and said so. The relationship of competition, that's it.

In the peninsula, the Goguryeo 2nd Infantry Division landed in the field. With the help of Korean ships transporting supplies, their situation has improved a lot.

"This is war. With sufficient supplies, we can win any war." A corporal excitedly took a spoon and got out the broth that had just been cooked. Steaming makes them feel full of energy.

"Sir. Would you like to come too?" The corporal said to Li Dao.

"Come on." Li Dao handed the corporal his own tableware. The corporal took it carefully and handed it to the captain.

"Today's food has changed a lot?" Li Dao said, looking at the food in the tableware.

"Yes, sir. The Koreans have transported them, and there are many reinforcements." The corporal said.

"I saw with my own eyes that their ships are very large and they can carry a lot of goods. It's just that I don't know how long they will take them to deliver them. However, I think they may take longer or faster. Because their carrying capacity is several times that of Qi's ships." The corporal said.

"Well. Just bring things. In this way, the war can be over as soon as possible." Captain Li Dao said.

On the shore, the captain of the South Korean merchant ship noticed the Qi State patrol ship opposite them.

"There are even Qi people over there?" the captain said curiously.

"Captain, we have been observing them for a long time. They have been around us. There is a stronghold nearby by the Qi people. They also have merchant ships arriving here. They seem to be transporting all kinds of supplies." The chief officer said.

"I think this war has changed its flavor." The first officer said.

"Oh?" The captain looked at the first officer curiously.

"This seems to be a transportation competition between us Koreans and Qi people. We transport materials to the Goguryeo people. The southerners are transported by the Qi people. The continuous injection of war materials makes the Goguryeo and the southerners consume them. With all the blood and energy in it, the war is cruel to them, but we are constantly making money in this way." The chief officer said.

"Political matters are not clear. This is not something we are in charge of. After unloading the cargo, we are about to set sail. Maybe we can go back to Qingcheng, where more cargo will be loaded to the south." The captain looked at the weather. Speaking of.

"We must go to the south as soon as possible, otherwise, if the wind direction changes, the situation will be very bad." The captain said while looking at the sky.

Jiaozhou, Qingcheng.

"There are still many petitioners outside. The Qi people's strengthening of the blockade has already made many Qi people panic." A young Qingcheng official said worriedly. His stomach is full of bitterness. Because of the blockade, many Qi people are worried. They think that the Qi State Council has abandoned them, making it difficult for them to return to Qi. They are worried about the situation of their families and relatives in Qi. Most of their families in Qi state rely on their salary to change their own situation, and many Qi people are very worried. After all, that is their way home.

"This matter is difficult to resolve. Xinzheng has already actively negotiated." Zhang Qing said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. This thing keeps him busy. But it's not easy to resolve the matter.

"However, the situation is very bad. The people of Qi responded very tough, and Xinzheng was also very annoyed. This matter. If it cannot be properly resolved, the development of Qingcheng will cause a great dilemma." Zhang Qing said worriedly. To.

"Yeah." The young official just hummed. Because he came from the outside, he knew very well how the people outside begged him. At that time, they had the only way to return home. Many of them crossed the border from Qi State to Jiaozhou and Qingcheng. This is already their second hometown. Many of them settled here, but their homes are still there. Country, their parents, wives, children. Think of the cut-off of human factors. The young official felt distressed.

Outside the gate of the Qingcheng government, there were many petitioners. Most of them were from Qi. Many people were anxious to go home to see the situation. But now the Qi army has blocked the border. The new South Korean army has no alternative. In order not to irritate the Qi people, the new South Korean army did not mobilize troops to the border. On the one hand, the Qi army digs trenches and arranges a large number of barbed wire in the border area. On the other hand, no one came to defend Jiaozhou, South Korea, in order to be able to properly solve the Qi army blockade.

"Oh, when will I go home if this continues. My parents are at home and I still need my money to feed the couple. My father is still ill, even if he has money, he can't buy medicine. I'm really anxious." The young and middle-aged from Qi State said. There are many people like him, and many of them have family members in Qi.

"This little brother, do you want to go home in a hurry?" It was what the young man was anxious about. A thin man stepped forward and asked.

"Yes. But my home is on the Qi State side, and it's sealed off there." The young man said anxiously.

"Don't worry, don't worry. This house, you can go back. This is not the place to talk." The man waved his hand and said.

"Can you take me to Qi country?" the young man asked excitedly. His voice was a little loud, and the man hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the opponent.

"This matter is very confidential. If everyone you deal with knows about it, this matter can't be done." The man said after letting go.

"Oh." The young man nodded grinningly. He was very happy when he heard the news that he could go home, because he knew it. The meaning of going home is very big.

"Come here." The man led the young man to a remote place.

"Young man, I also come from Qi State, and I know your difficulties." The man said lightly.

"This. Yes, the eldest brother is also from Qi, and we are from Qi, and we belong to the same family as Qi," said the young man.

"Well. It is indeed a family, but the family also counts the money." The man said.

"This. No problem, as long as you can go home and have a little more money, there is no problem." The young man said.

"Yeah. Okay. I'll tell you the truth, I'm a seaside business man who goes to Qi country to run smuggling goods." The man said.

"Ah." Hearing this introduction, the young and middle-aged man was a little surprised. He thought he had traveled from land, but he did not expect to return to Qi from the sea.

"Don't. There are many seaside areas in Qi. There is no navy there. Unlike the Korean navy, they have to patrol and protect the safety of the port. Qi does not have it. Qi is at best a navy. They have At that time, we didn’t even patrol. We often went to Qi to sell some goods. We sold muskets, weapons, and all kinds of daily necessities from here to Qi. This is considered smuggling. The navy over there manages. Some relations, this is money, without money, you can't get close to the beach. Of course. Sometimes you are lucky, anyway, this matter, without money, is very difficult." The man said embarrassedly To.

"This is easy to talk about. Good book." The young man said.

"The situation on the land, I heard people say. The arrests were very strict over there, and some places were very strict, so they were caught. They will be shot. I heard that several people have already been killed. This time in Qi State. It’s very powerful. Some places can pass, but the probability of seizing is relatively high. It is considered polite to send you back. Hold you tight and you will be killed someday." The man threatened.

"If there is no access by land, then go by sea. It is better to go by sea. That is, it is more expensive. It is not expensive, everyone. Two hundred yuan. What do you think?" the man said.

"Two hundred? It's too expensive," said the young man.

"It's expensive, and we have to take the risk. Send you there. This is not a simple thing." The man said angrily.

"One hundred and five. What do you think about eldest brother? If one hundred and five, I will do it. I am just a hard-working person, and people from Qi are here. It is all hard work. It is not easy for us, and I earn 30 a day. Fifty. You can't make that much." said the young man.

"Okay. Okay, for the sake of Qi people, one hundred and five is one hundred and five, but it helps oneself." The man thought about it and said.

"Come with me," the man waved. The young man nodded excitedly and followed the man. The blockade order came and immediately aroused the opposition of the people of Qi in Qingcheng, but their opposition was of no use. And some people have noticed the opportunity to make a fortune here, they are smugglers in Qingcheng.

Qi State also needs a large number of commodities from various countries, but Qi State has a certain commercial tax. Especially the tax is relatively high. Although the tariff is very low, this is the pressure of Qin, but the tax is relatively high. This is a new type of tax. The increase in Qi's fiscal revenue is achieved by adjusting the types of taxes. After all, a large number of troops have appeared in Qi's state, and many things need to be done by Qi. In the absence of good fiscal revenue, the Qi government can only do this through this method.

Therefore, the people of Qi need all kinds of necessities, but the prices are high, and the tariffs in Jiaozhou area are very low, the tax is also very low, and the road transportation is convenient, the price of goods is relatively low, which is also important to attract the people of Qi to come here. the reason. So some people started smuggling business.

In the beginning, the land trade at the border between Qi State and Jiaozhou started largely from smuggling and gradually evolved into population transportation. However, smuggling has always played a very important role in the process of the population going south, but this situation has never been noticed. In fact, he has always existed. And the other way is sea transportation. The shipping situation remains unchanged. Qi State has a long coastline, and most importantly, Qi State did not establish a navy.

Of course they have a certain navy, but the navy can't compare with the navy at all. At most they have a certain patrol vessel. The South Korean navy not only patrols, they can also patrol in the deep sea. These are two different concepts.

Qi's demand also greatly stimulated maritime trade stimulus. But they don't want to pay expensive taxes, so. Smuggling at sea is on the rise. When the land passage is blocked. Sea smuggling began to take the stage, because their role has emerged. A country without a navy has an open coastline, and smuggling is a risk-free thing.

South Korea, Xinzheng.

"It's crazy. Qi Guo reacted so hard." Han Shu was a little annoyed when he saw the telegram.

"My lord, this matter can't be dealt with in such a hurry, it will take a certain amount of time." Zhang Liang persuaded.

"Time, time, what South Korea lacks now is time." Han Shu stood up and said.

"The development of Qi people is exhausting. They don't have the ability to keep their people in the country, but they put the main responsibility on us. For what Qi people go south, of course, it is to survive. It is all right now." Han Shu shook his head and said.

"They actually blocked the passage in order to solve such a thing. If the Qi people don't go south, can their Qi people live well?" Han Shu accused. In Han Shu's view, the Qi government's move was a complete incompetence. They were too incompetent towards their own people. They cannot manage their country well, but now they complain that Jiaozhou, South Korea is developing too fast, and they use a despicable behavior to block the population from going south, which has caused the slow development of Jiaozhou, South Korea. This is extremely despicable.

"Master. I think we can wait. Qi people may need a response to this matter." Zhang Liang said.

"Reaction. Haha. Ridiculous." Han Shu said annoyedly.

"The only way now is to use a brand-new method to let the people of Qi clearly realize this, I think." Han Shu sneered.

"Just use force to solve it." Han Shu waved his arm and said.

"My lord, no. Most of the main force of the new South Korean army is outside. If you start a war rashly, the development of South Korea, Jiaozhou, and Qingcheng is definitely a disaster. You must calm down. Calm down." . Immediately waved his arm to stop it.

"Yeah. I'll just say that." Han Shu said.

"My lord, we can ask for help from Qin State. Maybe this can solve this matter properly." Zhang Liang said. He was really afraid that Han Shu would send troops as soon as his brain was hot.
