One thousand and thirty-three, I can't wait
If Guo remembers correctly in Japan, it seems that it is still a relatively primitive period.
The country should not have been formed yet, or there are multiple regional countries and no unified countries.
Mr. Guo vaguely remembers that there was a country called Xiematai, which seemed to have a large ruling range. The king was still a queen, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Cao Wei.
The whole country is quite primitive, and even if you send people to conquer, it is not difficult to think of, and it only takes a minute to win.
Therefore, in the enfeoffment plan planned by Mr. Guo, the Japanese archipelago is indeed within the scope of future enfeoffment.
For the large amount of gold and silver.
To talk about the local Chinese understanding of Japan during this period, it is probably a little bit mentioned that the legendary Xu Fu's story of Dongdu is not yet launched.
I remember that it seemed like that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Mr. Guo didn't care.
At present, Mr. Guo doesn’t know any news from Japan, and it may not be necessary whether Japan knows that China has changed its dynasty.
After thinking about it, Mr. Guo decided to make the Silk Road and earn gold and silver from Kushan, while sending people to find the Japanese archipelago and then find gold and silver mines on the Japanese archipelago.
Although I don’t know how long it will take and how long it will take to really use the money, after all, Mr. Guo doesn’t know where Shi Jian Yinshan is.
But even if you can't use it during your own rule, it would be good to lay a foundation for Guo Jin's rule.
After searching for a few years, you can find it after more than ten years.
Building some precious metals to suppress warehouses is definitely beneficial to economic development. If you have the opportunity to issue paper money in the future to carry out economic reforms, a sufficient amount of precious metals will definitely be the first choice.
Although grain is also a hard currency in this era and can be linked to money to stabilize the economy and prices, there is a very important disadvantage of grain.
Grain has a shelf life, but it cannot be eaten after it exceeds the shelf life.
Once the edible value is lost, by that time, the food will lose its economic status as a hard currency.
Therefore, Mr. Guo will store the newly collected new grain in a timely manner every year, take out the old grain in the warehouse, sell it in a shop, or release it for the army to eat it.
If you really want to engage in an economy, you still need precious metals, which have absolute value in themselves.
Without considering the existence of extreme situations, such as the complete extinction of food and the complete collapse of the country, gold and silver still have value.
The amount of precious metals in China is indeed unable to support the gold standard or the silver standard.
The price of copper is not very expensive, and it is heavy and has inconvenient transportation. In an era when paper money is not yet visible, it is very unfavorable to the rapid economic development.
Even now, transportation is many times more developed than in the previous dynasty, many people still complain that copper coins are too heavy and occupy too much space, which is not conducive to long-distance business use, while gold and silver are not so easy to obtain.
This will inevitably affect the further development of the economy.
For economic considerations, the land Silk Road and the maritime Silk Road must be arranged, and both hands must be taken, so that the economy can be maximized, the storage will be increased, and the economy will be revitalized.
When dealing with Kushan, let’s not mention military means for now, and neither of us can do anything to each other’s strength.
Even if you can win a military confrontation on a certain battlefield, Mr. Guo doesn't think it's victory.
War is not simply a decisive victory or defeat on the battlefield between the two armies. The essence of war is to occupy land, population and resources, and it is the battle between the two sides of the war against the potential of war on a piece of land.
It is unwise to fight a war without considering these or some other necessary reasons.
Anyway, Mr. Guo doesn’t see any need to attack the Kushan Empire at the moment.
The demand for gold and silver can be obtained through trade, not only gold and silver can be obtained, but also excess production capacity can be transferred and external demand can be stimulated.
When the Western Regions were not fully ruled and mature transportation roads were not fully built, any military operations against countries outside the Western Regions were not necessary.
Especially Kushan and Rest.
Even if you fight, you will be unable to rule because you exceed the limit of the empire's extreme wall and will just waste money and food.
Although they were very unhappy as second-dealers, they ate the profit that could have been eaten by the Wei Empire, but there was nothing they could do about it.
This is a limitation of the times and cannot be solved no matter what.
Unless Mr. Guo stops being a human being.
Moreover, during this period, Mr. Guo thought about it. The rise of the Persian Empire seemed to be indispensable to the attacks of the Roman Empire on the Silence Empire.
The reason why the Absian Empire was attacked by the Roman Empire was that this guy was too unkind and greedy for money.
Seeing the Romans' fanatical desire for silk, after monopolizing the trade route, they sold silk to death, which made the nobles of the Roman Empire unable to bear it, so they launched troops to fight.
The Roman Empire was unable to directly destroy the Silent Empire because of the long journey. No one else got any benefits from the Silent Empire. They were attacked repeatedly by Rome and were beaten to death.
The last one to take advantage was Sassanthemum.
Rome was unable to take much advantage after all, because it was really impossible to beat.
Therefore, the second-door dealer should be kind and not be too scammers.
It’s too scammed. Not only is the money gone, but it’s not even your own life. It’s someone else’s cheaper one.
The Roman Empire is not a simple sucker. Although I like it enthusiastically, if you don’t let me get it normally, I will really hit you.
The Roman Empire under the military system was slightly weak, the military conquest was still very strong, and the political system was basically restrained by military and immature.
When fighting, the Roman Empire is not afraid of anyone.
It seems that the replacement of Rest and Persia is at this time, and it should be not far away.
However, these things have nothing to do with Mr. Guo at the moment.
Mr. Guo has not even gone by the Kushan Kingdom yet, and Kushan still has to compete with Anxi for the status of the second-deaven dealer. If you insist on speaking, the Anxi Empire may still be a third-deaven dealer.
Thinking of this, Mr. Guo was really unhappy.
The current situation is that the Western Regions are the first change, the Kushans are the second change, and the Anxi is the third change. When it comes to Rome, it is the fourth change.
The price of a batch of top Shu brocades sold in the Wei Empire was no longer cheap. After four transfers, they were sold to Rome. The price...
Tsk tsk tsk.
No wonder Rome did not hesitate to fight and rest in peace.
The consumption of continuous wars is not as expensive as the monopoly of trade routes by Anxi.
Too unkind.
That being the case, can the Maritime Silk Road be arranged?
If possible, how many intermediaries can be saved and how much profit can be consumed...
Navigation technology of this era...
When Mr. Guo thought of this, he felt a headache again.
Not to mention navigation technology, shipbuilding technology is also a problem. The technical requirements for long-distance sea ships are very high, and there are also various dangers.
It is really a problem whether the sea ship manufacturing technology and navigation technology mastered by the current Wei Empire can successfully arrive in the Middle East and Arabia region to contact the Roman Empire.
Is it time to start developing the ocean navigation industry now?
Forget it, no matter whether it is too late or not, even if you can't see it while you are alive, you can leave it to Guo Jin or Guo Jin's son.
It's going to be done anyway.
Arrange and send someone to try and explore.
However, this part is a profit that cannot be seen and cannot be consumed, so you cannot spend a lot of energy to do it. What you need to do now is to eat the part that you can see and eat into your mouth.
Thinking of this, Mr. Guo wanted to quickly annex the 18 countries in the Western Regions, occupy the entire Western Regions, and eliminate these first-stage middlemen.
It feels a bit too late.
Mr. Guo felt that he needed to make arrangements in the Western Regions in advance and make some preparations in advance so that Cao Ren led the Northwest Corps to destroy the eighteen countries in the Western Regions in the future.
Make them unable to resist effectively.
