Su Yonglin had long ago presented the world map he knew to the Revival members.

In addition to Sun Tzuyi, everyone present is a member of the Fuxing family, so they all know that this world is not just neighboring countries such as the Ming Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Xixia, Goryeo, Japan, etc.

Even though Sun Ziyi has followed Su Yonglin for a long time, although he is not a member of the Revival, he still has a clear concept of the so-called [world].

The senior executives of the Ming Dynasty basically had a worldview shaped by Su Yonglin. They knew that the world was so big, and they knew that there were many countries of all sizes, besides the countries they were familiar with, and they knew the Middle East, West Asia, North Africa, and Europe.

In Su Yonglin's world map, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Middle East, and even Europe, these places are also marked.

And according to the news sent back by Su Changsheng's secret spies from Tianwang Army in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, it can basically be confirmed that the Southern Song Dynasty had trade exchanges with more than 60 countries in these regions, and trade exchanges were very frequent.

With such frequent trade exchanges, the Southern Song officials also had some exchanges with some regimes in the Middle East and North Africa, and had messengers to contact each other. However, the purpose of contact was to contact and know that there was this country outside.

The Southern Song government spent all its energy on dealing with the Ming Dynasty, and there was no extra energy to deal with other countries.

Even so, because of the strong demand for Chinese local products from countries around the world, the strong demand for porcelain, silk, tea, iron pots and other items, Quanzhou and Guangzhou maintained a high-intensity ship mooring rate even during the Ming and Song Wars.

A large amount of wealth flowed into the people and the court through ports and maritime authorities, making the wealthy businessmen, powerful and other high-ranking figures become more and more prosperous, and live more and more luxuriously, and more and more luxuriously.

Of course, these are not very important things, they will definitely be liquidated by the Ming Dynasty.

What Su Yonglin is most concerned about is based on the news of the Tianwang Army’s secret spies’ returns - Quanzhou and Guangzhou are simply the world metropolis of this era.

Especially in Quanzhou, there are not only Chinese people, but also many people from other regions and countries settle here.

Arabs, North Africans, Europeans, Indians, Southeast Asians, Japanese and Goryeo, came one after another and settled here one after another.

They have different backgrounds, different identities, different religious beliefs, bureaucrats, merchants, travelers, monks, missionaries, etc. People from all walks of life travel to Quanzhou and the local area with the merchant ships.

Because of the large number of people and the long stay in business affairs, many people simply settled and lived in Quanzhou.

People from different countries purchased land in Quanzhou and established "Fanfang", and then each elected "Fanchang" who were respected and able to convince the public to be responsible for daily management, and were also responsible for dealing with the Southern Song government and handling tax matters.

They also established the "fanxue" prepared for their children and cultivated their children.

They also set up temples, monasteries, etc. in the settlement areas according to their different religious beliefs to spread the religion they believe in.

All aspects show that these people tend to regard Quanzhou as their second hometown, and more and more people come.

They brought many commodities, cultural products, religious beliefs, etc. from all over the world. Various external cultures and religious beliefs grew in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, and exchanged and integrated with each other, forming a very prosperous and extremely complex economic and cultural situation.

In Su Yonglin's opinion, this is also a very interesting thing for Ming Dynasty.

After the Great Revolution and the Great Purge, the Ming Dynasty basically cleaned up all the old bureaucrats, old landlords and gentry, and merchants of all sizes who were dependent on them, and almost the entire social class was reshaped.

Therefore, the old ruling class that could drive a large amount of commercial demand was eliminated by the Ming Dynasty system, and the entire commercial demand within the country had dropped greatly, so the tax revenue contributed by commercial was greatly reduced, and the overall commercial scale was shrinking.

Gu

The current commercial policy of Ming Dynasty specifically relies on conservative commercial policies based on agricultural production, and is basically dominated by state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

There are large-scale commercial behaviors among the people, but they are mainly concentrated in catering, retail, handmade and other industries, which is also the main commercial behavior that ordinary people can access.

The country's major economic industries are all state-owned under the leadership of the Ministry of Finance.

For example, the salt-making industry, iron smelting industry, winemaking industry, animal husbandry industry, weaving industry, book printing industry, shipbuilding industry, and even cold drink industry, etc., are basically in a state-owned state.

The Ministry of Finance has a special department responsible for the management of these commercial businesses, including the establishment of a large number of handicraft workshops in the local area. They are also responsible for the management of the production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution of these businesses across the country.

It can be said that although this part of the gains are quite good, the proportion of total commercial income in the entire country's tax revenue is not very large.

The main demand for private people is relatively small, and commercial demand cannot be stimulated, so it is difficult to develop. The government’s current main task is to restore agricultural production, protect agricultural production and open up wastelands, etc. Commercial trade is not the country’s main task.

This means that the country currently does not have enough domestic demand and lacks relevant management talents. It does not know much about the entire world trade industry, which means that the Ming Dynasty lacks management experience in this area.

Su Yonglin did not hope that after he went south, he would mess up the overseas trade that had already done well in the Southern Song Dynasty due to his lack of management experience.

An excellent and mature commercial transaction location that is widely recognized from its establishment to prosperity, the financial and administrative costs and all supporting facilities invested in the process are unimaginable.

Quanzhou and Guangzhou were both well-made by the Southern Song Dynasty, and were recognized by those big dogs with stupid people and a lot of money. If they were destroyed, it would be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Su Yonglin still hopes to take over these two important ports through peaceful means, and begin to intervene in the management of the Maritime Bureau, send officials to deal with foreign merchants, accumulate sufficient experience, and lay a foundation for unifying the country's business economy in the future.

Not to mention anything else, the business statement that was finally negotiated before was ruined by the Southern Song Maritime Warehouse Department. Lin Jingchun is still worried and exposes the Ming Dynasty's shortcomings in business.

In order to avenge the previous shame, Lin Jingchun strongly supported Su Yonglin's policy. He strongly supported getting these two ports now and accumulating overseas business and travel connections.

The Ming Kingdom needed to transfer their perception from [doing business with the Southern Song Dynasty] to [doing business with the Ming Kingdom], so that they could accept this fact, and through security guarantees, their business confidence should not be shaken.

With millions of chunks of money or even more commercial taxes related to the future, Su Yonglin hopes that the stability of these overseas trade relations will be ensured in any case, and that this part of the income will not be affected by the war between the Ming and Song dynasties.

But, this issue is not particularly important.

Because the goods they need are only produced in China, but cannot be purchased in other places. They cannot be copied at all, because this production technology is still firmly controlled.

Now, only the Ming Kingdom has the ability to swallow the Southern Song Dynasty in one bite and master all of it.

So only Mingguo can continue to make this money, so no one else can think about it.

"Lin Butang said it is right. The significance of taking over Quanzhou and Guangzhou is to transfer the overseas trade advantages of the Southern Song Dynasty to ourselves, aggravate the intensification of the internal contradictions within the Southern Song Dynasty, and further enhance our own ability to manage overseas trade.

I often say that going out, but going out is not as simple as three words. Overseas trade needs to be done, it is simple and simple, but difficult. We must learn from the good experiences of the Southern Song Dynasty, abandon their bad shortcomings, and strive to successfully take down Quanzhou and Guangzhou."

Su Yonglin knocked on the table: "This is not only related to the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, but also to the future economic development of the Ming Dynasty. It is important to know that our current business scale is relatively small and we are not rivals of the Southern Song Dynasty in all senses.
