Chapter 326 Capital export!
(Writing is precious, and the body is precious, so please cherish it! Let the author rest for a day and resume the third update the day after tomorrow. Note: I posted two twenty-three chapters yesterday, one of which is twenty-four chapters. I’m sorry, you can also see the author’s current state. It seems that he has written a horse into an animal with two hoofs... Sweat!"
The group of five people arrived at the dock. Li Yan got out of the car and pointed to a separate dock where five white yachts were parked and said, "Brother San, this is a yacht." After that, he took the lead in walking towards the yacht, while Li Zhi and the other three rushed towards the yacht. In the past, they could only touch this and that on the yacht, but now they can finally play in the river on the yacht. If they were like the students in school, they would not know what they would envy.
Seeing the three of them being unrestrained and happy, Li Ke smiled and said, "These three guys are really lucky to be able to live in Yizhou. If you can live such a carefree life, you don't have to worry about the intrigues in Chang'an City."
Li Yan understood that Li Ke was in love with the scene, so he said, "Third brother, you don't have to work as hard as before in the future. Since you have arrived in Jingzhou, let go of everything you used to!"
"Well, yes." Li Ke seemed to have untied some kind of knot in his heart and speeded up his pace towards the yacht.
The five people got on the boat. Li Yan carried them around the wide surface of the Nanhe River from south to north, and browsed the scenery on both sides of the Nanhe River. With the development of Yizhou, more and more people settled in Yizhou. The Nanhe River flourished unprecedentedly. There were many restaurants on both sides of the Nanhe River, and the singing of the singer resounded across the Nanhe River. The merchants wandered in this prosperous place, squandering their money. Even a surface market was formed on the rivers of the Nanhe River. Many vendors rowed boats and carried various Yizhou factories, including white sugar, cotton clothes, and iron pots.
"It's really good!" After strolling around the river, the five people returned to the shore. Before Li Ke could come back to his senses from the stimulation, he exclaimed sincerely, and Li Zhi and the other three had an excited smile on their faces.
"What's the difficulty? We will become neighbors in the future. Third brother can come here to have fun." Li Yan said.
Li Ke nodded, put an arm on Li Yan's shoulder, and then patted hard, "I'm sure this neighbor, so I can't drive me away even if I can."
"Hahaha..." After saying that, the five of them laughed.
In the evening, Li Yan held a family dinner for Li Ke, and Li Yuan also came over. The family had a happy meal. The next day, Li Ke was going to Jingzhou to take up his post. Li Yan asked him to play in Yizhou for a few days, but was rejected by Li Ke, saying that government affairs were the priority, which made Li Yan sigh. No wonder Li Shimin admired Li Ke very much.
Li Ke came and left, and it only took a day. However, during this period, Li Yan was indeed very busy and did not have time to entertain him. After the colonial plan was launched, the next step was the dumping of goods, and the first destination was Japan.
"Your Highness, what name should you give me?"
For Li Yan's plan, Sun Dongxun returned to Yizhou from Ryukyu to discuss this matter with Li Yan.
"I think it's called the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce." Qin Huaiyu said. With this name, merchants dare to see it, right?
Li Yan and Li Ran analyzed for a long time to decide that the current colonial plan was to establish colonial strongholds, and then export goods for goods from other countries, because the population of the Tang Dynasty was only 20 million, which was not made up by technology. The population of Yizhou was even lower than three million, and the army was less than one hundred thousand. It was absolutely stupid to use such a number of people to occupy the world, because the long front was enough to drag down the Yizhou army with excellent equipment, so the most correct choice was to adopt the colonial model of the stronghold model to ensure the output of goods. If that country refused, choose to focus on attacks and make them surrender.
"The Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty has been dissolved, how can it be opened again?" Zhu Youzhidao, this time he and Qin Huaiyu got what they wished and would be sent by Li Yan to various countries to open up trade routes. At the same time, they would implement a thorough colonization plan for island countries like the Philippines, because there are currently no countries in this island country, only some indigenous tribes, especially Indonesia, which is the location of the world's largest gold mine, and African diamonds, Myanmar jade, and these treasures are all waving to Li Yan.
Now Yizhou has accumulated enough power, and private capital is looking for a path to output. After the merchants occupied the market of the Tang Dynasty, the next step will be other countries, and the demands of merchants will become stronger. If Yizhou's national industry grows at an extremely fast speed, they can only follow the old path of capitalism - plundering resources from other countries.
"I think it's called the Tang Chamber of Commerce." Li Yan planned to integrate the modern and Tang Dynasty companies into the same name.
"The Tang Chamber of Commerce, this is good. Anyway, Your Highness wants to be the emperor..." Qin Huaiyu's words were about to be said, but Li Yan immediately glared back. This matter was done secretly, and there was no need to publicize it.
Zhu Youzhi smiled and said, "I deserve it, you can speak without any restraint."
Tong Nian was still sitting in the Political Consultative Hall. Li Yan discussed the name of the Chamber of Commerce. He continued: "Tong Nian, the operation of this Chamber of Commerce is going to give you. He told the merchants that we should be responsible for the profit and loss. We only provide the market. If they have the courage, they should do it. If they don't have the courage, they should not participate, so as not to have any unpleasant things in the end."
This Tang Chamber of Commerce is actually the East India Company of that era. According to Li Yan, this Tang Chamber of Commerce is an institution jointly organized by merchants. Li Yan provides the market to extract profits, and merchants form a caravan to transport their goods to the colonies for sale. This can accelerate the expansion of private capital in Yizhou. For example, only one company is needed to produce goods that meet the Tang Dynasty, so now it needs to be a company, or expand ten times the scale.
"Yes, Your Highness, I remember." Tong Nian took a notebook to record what Li Yan said.
After talking about the Tang Chamber of Commerce, Qin Huaiyu became energetic and said, "Your Highness, where is our first goal?"
In this era, countries with a slightly stronger age were Persia, Dashi, and Rome, so Li Yan was too lazy to tell the order. He pointed to the world map and said, "There is no need to tell the order. You just need to follow the route. You will establish a colony along the South River in Manila, Philippines, and then India, and then continue to move towards the western waters through India as a springboard, opening up the coastal trade routes. If that country does not open the trading port, you can teach them a lesson."
Li Yan drew a long red line that stretched all the way to Great Britain and Greenland.
"This has bypassed most of the world." Zhu Youzhi looked at the conquest route on the map, and Zhu Youzhi was shocked.
Li Yan said: "This is a long-term plan and cannot be completed in one or two years. You have suffered a lot."
The two looked at each other and said, "This is the duty of the soldier. Don't worry, your highness, we will definitely live up to our mission and open up all trade routes so that the goods in Yizhou can be sold anywhere."
Li Yan nodded and said to Sun Dongxu who looked envious: "You are responsible for cooperating with them in Southeast Asia."
"Yes!" Sun Dongxu immediately became motivated.
"There is another new recruit who wants you to take it to practice." Li Yan suddenly said when he told them a few.
All three of them were stunned and said, "What a new recruit?"
"Come in!" Li Yan shouted to the outside of the door.
Then, in everyone's sight, a young man wearing a military university uniform walked in, but Li Hui, who had been studying in Yizhou for more than two years.
"Li Hui from the academy met General Zhu, General Qin, and General Sun." Li Hui came in and greeted the three of them. Over the past year, Li Hui had studied various maritime knowledge in a concise way. Now he has achieved some small achievements. Li Yan felt that it was time to let him go out for training. With this Li Hui in the army in Yizhou, Li Yan made Li Xiaogong owe him a favor.
Li Yan smiled and looked at the three people and said, "You just need to treat him as an ordinary soldier. There is no need to hinder his identity. He has also understood the rules in the army for a few years in college and will not cause trouble for you."
The three of them knew Li Hui naturally, and they were a famous top student in the military university. The three of them wondered why Li Yan never used him. It turned out that it was at this time.
