Chapter 417 Pattern

"These kids!" Wang Jinghui said with a bitter smile when he saw several boxes of gold placed in front of him. He was already the richest man in the Song Dynasty. The so-called wealth is just a number in his eyes. If so much wealth was placed in later generations, he would be enough to cause his myocardial infarction, but now he is almost immune to money and has no feeling.

After so many years of coming to this time and space, I didn’t feel so profoundly how rich the Song Dynasty was when I read history books. But now, let alone the "famous quote" in Zhang Xiaojie, it is a wealthy man who can use millions of coins at any time. Wang Jinghui alone can remember dozens of names. If Manager Li, who runs his industry, may not be able to defeat two hundred! Wang Jinghui has never calculated how much his wealth is, but he is sure that if necessary, it is absolutely no problem for him to raise ten million coins within one month, and the premise is that he can achieve it without selling any of his assets!

If 4,000 taels of gold is based on the normal ten-to-one exchange rule, it is only 400,000 coins, which does not seem very precious. However, the exchange ratio of gold as a precious metal on the black market can easily reach fifteen or even thirty to one. The so-called ten-to-one is just a simple algorithm for Wang Jinghui to calculate its value in order to make it easier.

Everyone around Wang Jinghui knew that this young prince-consort might not care about the amount of his property, but he cared about precious metals such as gold and silver. He reminded Xu more than once to help him store more gold and silver. Everyone did not understand what profound meaning this contained, but as a business partner, Xu's vision of Wang Jinghui had reached an almost superstitious level. While storing a large amount of precious metals for Wang Jinghui, he also began to slowly accumulate reserves of gold and silver.

In fact, Wang Jinghui's emphasis on gold and silver was nothing more than to make some preparations for establishing a silver standard or gold standard. However, it is undeniable that when the Song Dynasty court decided to use gold and silver as its own treasury and consciously established a new financial system under the guidance of Wang Jinghui, Wang Jinghui and Xu undoubtedly had a great advantage in this, and it was very easy to make a fortune.

As for the ancient Chinese currency known to Wang Jinghui, not to mention gold, even silver was the main currency in the society during the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is no record in history that when copper coins were flooded in the royal treasury during the prosperous period, the ropes that ran through money were rotten in the treasury. Wang Jinghui also summoned talents with certain achievements in business and finance, analyzed this phenomenon, and the conclusions drawn were exactly the opposite of what was seen on the surface. This kind of thing may not be a good thing.

In the Song Dynasty in the time and space where Wang Jinghui lived, silver entered the field of currency circulation only a process of rapid development, but it was far from reaching the level of becoming the mainstream circulating currency. However, since Wang Jinghui vigorously advocated overseas trade, a large amount of silver and gold poured into the Song Dynasty. At this time, at least the status of silver in the field of circulation was far higher than the original historical level. As for why silver entered the mainstream sphere of currency in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in history, Wang Jinghui's conclusion was roughly because China was not a country with high silver production, which greatly restricted silver from playing a role in the field of currency circulation. Even silver became like this, let alone gold.

Historically, it was precisely because of foreign trade in the Ming and Qing dynasties that China had an absolute advantage, and coupled with the plunder of Western colonists in Africa and the Americas, the large inflow of silver in trade with China, which allowed the amount of silver in China to enter the circulation field and occupy an important position. However, this also made Wang Jinghui doubt whether the opium trade carried out by the West to China in the time and space he lived in was the fundamental reason that China was too strong in foreign trade. The only way to invade and not out of silver increased the turmoil in the Western financial system, and he thought of using opium to balance the "silver deficit" in the trade between the two sides.

In any case, these things are no longer important to Wang Jinghui, because the history in the time and space he lived in can only be used as a reference and lesson. Now he has every reason to believe that the Song Dynasty is no longer the "weak Song" in history. What he has to do is to summarize the historical lessons he knows, and to avoid the Song Dynasty making the same mistakes through his own influence and efforts.

He had long seen that the Song Dynasty was able to issue paper money. In fact, unlike the court's views on paper money, he was still very good at using paper money in commercial use. The Xingguo Bank and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, whom he presided over, issued their own paper money under the permission of the court. However, unlike the court, the paper money they issued was no different from real gold and silver in the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty, because the basis for issuing paper money was determined by the amount of gold and silver reserved in the two banks. As long as the banknotes were identified as valid, the same amount of precious metals could be redeemed from the two banks at any time.

In fact, this is also an experiment led by Wang Jinghui. The purpose of this experiment is to prepare for the future of the Song Dynasty to issue real currency. Wang Jinghui's financial experiment was also obtained by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and a few other informed ministers. Otherwise, the two banks would not issue their own banknotes with the permission of the court. You must know that this is no longer the era when banknotes just appeared, and only the court can issue banknotes.

"Dry all these golds into Xingguo Bank! In addition, tell them not to play such tricks in the future. If the ministers know, they still don't know what to think of me! But this reminded me and told the Liao Dynasty's intelligence network that as long as it belongs to my industry, they should exchange the idle funds in their hands into gold or silver as much as possible, and sell the copper coins they have in their hands as much as possible!" Wang Jinghui smiled helplessly and said.

"The senior brother also asked the students to convey it on their behalf. I hope that the teacher can sell all the Liao Dynasty's industries as soon as possible to withdraw cash. When the army of the Song Dynasty arrived, the wealthy people of the Liao Dynasty who acquired our assets would be confiscated according to the rules. At that time, we can calmly recover our assets, which is equivalent to selling our industries twice!" Yu Yue said with a smile.

Wang Jinghui thought for a while and said, "Did Nirvana come to me to fill his hole? He probably sold all my industries in Liao Kingdom?!"

Yu Yue smiled and said, "Sir, jokingly, how could the senior brother do this? Without the instructions from his teacher, he would not change those assets at will. However, the senior brother made a lot of money by selling short selling in Liao by Ma Renwang, especially after the prince of Liao was killed some time ago, many Liao officials were disgraced by Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie, and their assets were mostly lost to the hands of the senior brother. Two thousand five hundred taels of gold out of these four thousand taels of gold were the benefits obtained from that action, and nearly three thousand taels of gold were buried in the senior brother in Dading Mansion. If it weren't for not being able to transport too much this time, the senior brother and the others would have transferred all the gold together!"

"You just came back from Tokyo Road in Liao Kingdom. I wonder how you personally felt there?" Wang Jinghui put aside the topic just now and began to ask carefully about the situation of the various departments of Tokyo Road. Although he had not seen much information sent by Yu Yue and the others from Tokyo Road, the information text was ultimately a dead object, and personal experience was far more explaining the problem than the information itself.

It is still 40 years before the female Naoki can truly rise. However, after Wang Jinghui came to this time and space, in order to dig out the corners of the Liao Kingdom, he provided some support for the female Naoki in Tokyo Road. Not to mention anything else, even the Koreans could not do anything to sell so many weapons and firearms from the Privy Council to the Koreans. It is hard to say how the Koreans' combat power is, but to a certain extent, the female Naoki can defeat the Koreans. It is quite considerable that the female Naoki's combat power is still quite considerable. Preventing problems is Wang Jinghui's strategy, and the situation is changing too quickly now. The Khitans have basically been in name only for the Song Dynasty and will never pose a threat, but it will be a long time in the future. He will never be careless about the female Naoki who can finally destroy Liao in history and even the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Now maybe it's time to tighten the girl's neck and prevent them from getting older!" Wang Jinghui thought secretly in his heart.

"Although the Vanyan tribes are headed by the Wanyan tribe, they have just defeated the Koryo people, which has made their internal cohesion closer. Judging from the current situation, the Vanzhi tribes will not oppose the Liao people. They are more interested in the Koryo people. After all, in terms of wealth, Goryo is similar to the Liao Kingdom. Although the Kydans have greatly reduced their strength, the Vanzhi tribes are still afraid of the Kydans who have defeated them. Generally speaking, they are unwilling to face the Kydans, so Goryo became their target!" Yu Yue said.

"Are they preparing to conquer Goryeo again?!" Wang Jinghui asked curiously.

"The female Nao people will be temporarily united and stable when stimulated by victory, but this situation will not last long. Only under the continuous stimulation of victory will they embrace a group to recognize the status of the female Naojima Jiedu. The students see that the female Naojima departments are of great strength, and their fierce fighting is really a strong enemy. The only thing that is fortunate is that they are not bordering the Song Dynasty, and their awe of the Song Dynasty is also very high..."

Yu Yue truthfully introduced what he saw in Tokyo Road and continued: "The last war was a completely attack initiated by the Goryeo side coveting the east bank of the Yalu River. The various tribes of the Nakaji only fought in a hurry, but they got the Song Dynasty, and they had to be too good in weapons and firearms. In addition, they fought bravely, which made Goryeo defeated. In the students' opinion, this was not the final outcome. Perhaps the Goryeo side would stop and recuperate for a while, but the various tribes of the Nakaji who had gained great benefits might not do this. Moreover, they also felt the cowardice of the Goryeo soldiers in the war against Goryeo, and for such a fat sheep..."

"You mean that Naoto is likely to attack Goryeo again in a short period of time?" Wang Jinghui said.

"In the eyes of students, this is very possible. At least before the students return, all departments are stepping up time to build the iron purchased from the Song Dynasty into weapons. The students think that the female soldiers will not let these weapons rot in their hands. It is probably a prelude to attack Goryeo!" Yu Yue said affirmatively.

"Well, okay! Yu Yue, your information is very important. This will have an important impact on the Song Dynasty in the next few decades. After going back, think about it carefully, and write your experiences and inferences in Tokyo into a written memorial. Your senior brother Yansheng is now recommended by the Information Bureau of the Song Dynasty. After his modification and polishing, I will hand it directly to the emperor for review. Be careful to write this memorial carefully!" Wang Jinghui instructed Yu Yue and said.

"Students will work hard, and I believe there is no problem with Mr. and Senior Brother Yansheng to polish and check it out! But Mr., this female Naoto and Goryeo are not bordering my Song Dynasty, and Goryeo has always been a vassal to me. As far as students know, Goryeo is also an important trading partner of the Song Dynasty. So which side will the Song Dynasty help?" Yu Yue asked.

"Don't forget that Goryeo has always been vain to the Khitans, and the Liao Kingdom has become like this. Goryeo still does not forget to hug the Khitans' thighs. It can be seen that Goryeo is extremely unreliable for me, the Song Dynasty! Yuyue, I have repeatedly emphasized with you disciples before that there is no fixed relationship between countries, and it is nothing more than the word "profit" that maintains the relationship between two countries or multiple countries. If our Song Dynasty itself is not strong enough, how many countries in the world can make friends with our Song Dynasty? And how many can be vain to our Song Dynasty?! The Confucianism still has certain advantages for governing the country, but in terms of national diplomacy, it is a misunderstanding of the country!" Wang Jinghui said coldly.

"Students keep in mind the teachings of sir!" Yu Yue bowed and said.

Wang Jinghui waved his hand and said, "After all, you are still very young and you can't see through some things. Don't say it's you, even the ministers in the court are willing to jump out of this small circle to see the whole world?! Although some things cannot be done now, we must prepare in advance and show our skills when the time is ripe! Whether it is the Goryeo or the Naomi, they are potential enemies to the Song Dynasty. Perhaps in your heart, Naomi's threat to the Song Dynasty is more realistic, but what I want to tell you is that in my heart, Naomi is far more threatening than Naomi!"

Wang Jinghui is still very vigilant about Goryeo for a nation that can last for two thousand years. Thinking about the time and space of the thousand years later, the so-called Dangxiang, Khitan and other powerful nations such as the Pubu people disappeared at that time, and there was no more than a single slag left. Now, Goryeo, which seems weak, can still survive the killings similar to the Yuanmeng in later generations, and the truth can no longer be described as "strength". Goryeo already has its own unique culture and very strong national cohesion, which cannot be replaced by strength. Perhaps strength can make nations such as Khitan and Dangxiang prominent for a while, but this is by no means a long-term way.

"The female Nao people go to trouble with the Korean people. This is a great thing for me, Da Song, and these grassland robbers cause uncontrollable damage to the Korean people. Only in this way can I buy more time to deal with the Japanese and Korean people! In addition, I want to tell you that the other side of the commercial partners is the commercial rivals. If they accumulate to a certain level, it is inevitable that the two sides will go to war!" Wang Jinghui said to Yu Yue with a smile.

When Wang Jinghui said this, he couldn't help but think in his heart that Britain in time and space made a fortune. A large part of the reason for its history is that it went to war with its trading partners. What other means can make huge profits than launching a war to plunder the other party's property?!

Although Yu Yue did not understand Wang Jinghui's words very clearly, Yu Yue was able to stand out from hundreds of orphans to become Wang Jinghui's second-generation disciple, and his mind was very high. Moreover, the relationship between their brothers was much closer than those officials from Huaying Academy or West Lake Academy, and the sources of information were very wide. Wang Jinghui's words somewhat reminded him of the war between Goryeo and Nuzhi some time ago, Goryeo sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to question it. What's the attitude of the Song Dynasty has largely explained the problem. Moreover, the trade relations between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo have also begun to appear in some inconsistent voices in recent years. It is rumored that many ministers in the Goryeo court hope to implement the ban on sea orders, and in addition to increasing taxes, they also impose more severe restrictions on goods exported to the Song Dynasty to Goryeo.

The winter of the seventh year of Xining in the Song Dynasty was a harvest season for the imperial court. After nearly a month of negotiations, the Song Dynasty finally established its absolute dominance south of the Great Wall. The great damage to the Liao Kingdom's vitality could no longer pose any threat to the Song Dynasty, and Laizhou was also classified as the territory of the Song Dynasty. It can be foreseen that Laizhou will inevitably become the base for the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao Kingdom in the future. The hinterland of the Liao Kingdom, including the capital of the Dading Prefecture, was under the threat of the Song Dynasty. From Laizhou, the cavalry could only take five days to reach the city of Dading Prefecture. The previous pattern of Song and Liao Dynasty has evolved for a hundred years and is now in a good way.
