Chapter 634 Footprints(2/2)
They were handed over to the internal warehouse to specialize in the incense system of the Song Dynasty, but they are now also the commercial goods with the highest income and the fastest income.
Tao Bi was worried that the salary of 100,000 soldiers was not only the salary, but he planned to cooperate with the court to provide armor. In fact, this was unlikely. How could the court provide armor of 100,000 soldiers? It could provide one-third of the number. Wang Ju was happy. The remaining armor had to be made by himself, as well as the soldiers' food, drink, and live there.
One hundred thousand soldiers cost a lot in a year.
However, Wang Ju was thinking about this issue for a long time and finally came up with several solutions, including what Meng Jin said.
That is, use overseas commercial goods as the original preparation funds, and send people in advance to check the commercial goods needed by the barbarians of each tribe and their production.
Then use these overseas merchants to exchange for the merchant goods that the barbarians need, and then use these merchants to trade their products with the barbarians of various tribes and handicrafts that are rich in the customs of the people. If these productions and handicrafts are shipped to the Central Plains, there will still be a large market.
Then, not only did it improve the lives of barbarians of all races and strengthened exchanges and integration, Wang Ju himself could also make huge profits.
"Current law?" Yan Da asked curiously.
"General Yan, do you think it is a Chinese law?"
Wang Anshi's market law is really fucked.
For example, a piece of bamboo paper costs ten cents, but after going to the capital, one piece can be sold for thirty cents. However, the market law has come, and the cost is ten cents. If there is no backstage, you will be given ten cents or even nine cents. If there is a backstage, you will be given twelve cents, plus three cents of travel expenses, and the annual interest rate is 20%. Small vendors, you can sell each piece at 18 cents.
"No, Prince, I mean Wang Xianggong's market law, which is not an levy, but a voluntary transaction."
“A little bit the same.”
"Just a little?"
"The same is what you call voluntariness, so it has great limitations. It is impossible to use this law between countries to trade, and there are many controversies. But it is unlikely to use this law in China. After all, compared to the government without responsibility and clumsiness, merchants are more flexible and mobile, how can they compete for merchants? Why can Wang Shao succeed? That is this limitation. There are all foreigners west of Qinzhou, and Han people dare not trade for fear of being robbed and killed. The foreigners also dare not come to Han people.
Regional transactions are afraid of being deceived. As a result, Wang Shao got the merits. So Mr. Jiefu did not see this and implemented his market-exchange law... But Guangnan West Road is similar to Qinzhou. From Yongzhou City to Guizhou west, there are mostly barbarian areas, and many are the barbarian tribes. It is difficult for Han and barbarians to communicate. Except for the main roads, the remaining area trade scale is extremely small. This became the second Qinzhou, but compared with Qinzhou, it is more scattered, so it must serve the door-to-door service."
"Service is a good word," Yan Da said happily.
"This is one of the differences. The second is that I will use my knowledge and some of my subordinates to identify their handicrafts for these barbarians. If the prospects are bright, I can teach them to expand the scale and become richer. When they become richer, the transaction scale will be expanded, and I can raise more funds."
In other words, although Wang Ju's approach is very similar to Wang Shao, he participates more deeply.
In addition, Wang Shao is a purely profitable person who makes military expenditure. Wang Ju is also making military expenditure. However, he is not just making military expenditure. While earning military expenditure, he also considers benefiting the people and integrating all ethnic groups. Without integration, Guangnan West Road is now like an independent kingdom, and there is no way to govern at all. If there is no way to govern, there is no way to get better.
"Miaosi, but even so, the military expenditure is probably not enough." Yan Da said worriedly.
He didn't know that those ships were almost Wang Ju, with ten merchants in Yanzhou, but they would not have any objections to Wang Ju. So in Yan Da's idea, even if these merchants were grateful and sponsored Wang Ju to make achievements, they were 100,000 soldiers and their military expenses were still insufficient.
"Yes, so I want to ask General Yan for help."
"Prince, you can let me fight. I have the ability to raise this money." Yan Da said hurriedly, and it was not too small, so if you kill him, you would not be able to raise so much military expenses.
