Making money is a very important topic. Although Ming Dynasty is not short of money now, it is hard to say that it requires a lot of capital investment when doing something in the future.

This is widely recognized by everyone that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to make money. They should not ignore their ability to make money and their ability to play overseas trade because of the reactionary and sins of the Southern Song Dynasty.

What should be learned should be learned, and what should be discarded should be completely discarded. In actual government affairs, you must never be a diode.

The officials nodded and expressed their understanding of Su Yonglin's view.

Then Su Yonglin asked Lin Jingchun to make some preparations.

"We have never had this thing in the past, nor have we had any experience in setting up management, so after taking over the Maritime Affairs Office in Guangzhou and Quanzhou, we need to be familiar with the work there as soon as possible.

I will ask the Southern Song Dynasty to provide some help to us, but we must also be prepared. You can take the lead in establishing a Maritime Management Department directly under the Ministry of Finance as soon as possible, and select some young and capable officials to add them.

If you need any relevant books, I will arrange for Tianwangjun to find all of them for you, and then you will organize these officials to make up for this knowledge. Don’t ask questions and make people laugh.”

"I see."

Lin Jingchun nodded, his eyes full of excitement: "If this is done well, it will be a big sum of money, and the income of millions of chunks of money will increase. How many big things can be done!"

"Don't be too happy too early."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "It is not that simple thing to eat this money safely. Not to mention the operation of the Maritime Trade Bureau, many of the goods needed by the merchants of the foreign countries are something we cannot produce, and it can only be produced and sold by the Southern Song Dynasty.

We just control the port and the Maritime Bureau, and may still need to cooperate with merchants from the Southern Song Dynasty. How to carry out this cooperation, how to clarify the interests, and how to prevent our officials from being corrupted are all serious problems.

Before we completely control the commercial trade of the Southern Song Dynasty, how to do this third-party work between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Fan Kingdoms and maintain the continuous operation of the Maritime Bureau and the port is still a difficult problem for us.

If there is any problem at that time, I suggest that you, the Minister of Finance, go directly to Quanzhou to handle affairs on the spot. If all these things are handled well, we will be equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the Southern Song Dynasty.

By the time the Southern Song Dynasty is pacified and the economy is controlled, the difficulty of the war will be greatly reduced, and the smooth transition after the war will be relatively simple. The benefits and interests must be clarified."

When Lin Jingchun heard this, he thought seriously for a while and felt that Su Yonglin had something in his words.

"Control the commercial trade of the Southern Song Dynasty? Do you mean we are going to attack the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Business war is also a war, but if you can't win in military terms, don't expect to win in business terms."

Su Yonglin sneered: "After the war, we can use our military advantages to organize caravans to enter the Southern Song market and forcibly acquire the producers of goods needed by foreign investors, so as to control the lifeblood of the Southern Song Dynasty's foreign trade."

"This... can they agree?"

"I said, if you can't win in military terms, you'll be waiting for the entire army to be wiped out in business. If you have the ability, they can resist me."

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "If we only control the port and the Maritime Bureau, we will still be able to make money away by the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty and the bureaucrats behind them. But if we control the production side, we can take everything into our hands."

Lin Jingchun understood what Su Yonglin meant.

Not only should we destroy the Southern Song Dynasty militarily and control the Southern Song Dynasty politically, but we should also eat no left in economic terms. Before we fully move south to destroy the Song Dynasty, we can use this method to control the economic lifeline of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In this way, nothing left in the Southern Song Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, what those foreign trade merchants want is goods and goods of high quality that can be brought back to make money. As for whom the goods are provided, it doesn’t matter.

If they are smart enough, they know that they should not care about this issue, let alone be allowed to care about this issue.

Gucha

If they care, then get out of Quanzhou and never think about coming back.

If you dare to do something, you must be prepared to bury yourself in the sea to feed the fish.

Lin Jingchun completely understood what Su Yonglin meant.

"Since you said that, I understand everything. I know what to do. I also know. At the beginning, I will definitely go over the matter between Quanzhou and Guangzhou. At that time, I will travel between Quanzhou and Guangzhou for a while and figure out the specific problems before talking about it... It's better to prepare now, anyway, it's too soon, right?"

"Don't worry, these horoscopes are not yet broken. The whole thing has been settled until we have entered Quanzhou and Guangzhou at least three or five months. And before you enter, you still need to let the army take the lead in showing its military power."

Su Yonglin's eyes gradually became colder, and he smiled and said, "There are many people in this world who fear power but do not have virtue. There is no army to show the power of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the local merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty, even those from foreign countries will probably do something to test the Ming Dynasty. I don't allow this situation."

This is not unreasonable speculation, but reasonable and well-founded.

In this early stage of world connectivity and a wilderness era without international law, people who can ride the wind and waves on the sea must not only have courage, but also be cruel and even miserable.

Any successful person, even though he looks well-dressed, is licking blood from his back.

Commercial transactions have never been a gentleman since ancient times. Everyone is happy. There are many people who just act like a knife when they have disagreements. These people from the sea are probably not just business travelers, but also part-time pirates, or part-time pirates, and part-time pirates.

When doing business, you will immediately turn into pirates when you see something good. This kind of person is common, and even has two sides with pirates and maritime merchants. It is nothing strange.

It is really difficult to manage people who are jealous and lick blood from the knife.

It is really necessary to kill a few people at that time.

There was a reason why the Southern Song Dynasty attached so much importance to Quanzhou, and there was a reason why the government carefully set up the Maritime Bureau in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

While earning a lot of taxes, you also have to bear extremely expensive administrative costs and stability maintenance costs. If this work is not done well, Quanzhou and Guangzhou may become the Oriental Gotham City of this era at any time.

Before government agencies enter, Quanzhou and Guangzhou must undergo military management for a period of time, kill the cunning businessmen and travelers, let them know the majesty of the government, and then provide regular management, and the effect will be much better.

At the Central Meeting, after a period of discussion, everyone reached some meaningful consensus and then sorted out a formal request.

At the same time, Su Yonglin also asked the General Staff to order the Pinghai Naval Division stationed in Liaodong to divide about one-third of its troops to prepare to go south, and then assist the Weihai Naval Division in handling military affairs.

As of now, the Ming Central Committee decided to set up three brand new Ming Navy garrison sites in Lin'an Port, Quanzhou Port and Guangzhou Port.

In addition, Mingguo's representative office must be set up in Lin'an City. The representative office needs to have a certain area, and all security management is the responsibility of Mingguo himself.

In other words, the new Ming and Song peace treaty not only required the Southern Song Dynasty to recognize the previous five articles, but also required the addition of land cemeteries and the increase of garrisons in Lin'an City.

In the additional clause for cede land, it is clearly stipulated that Quanzhou Guangzhou Port and Maritime Bureau are owned by the Ming Kingdom. If the Southern Song Dynasty merchants and travelers want to come to do business, they must follow the laws and taxes in accordance with the provisions of the Ming Kingdom and there is no objection.

"Under the new situation, we need to deal with new changes with a new attitude. A new era is coming. We must deal with military and political and economic issues at the same time. In the past, we put politics and military first and economic issues behind.

Under the next situation, we need to elevate the economy to a level as important as military politics, and handle economic issues carefully. These problems that affect the whole body need to be treated with caution and not slacking off at all!"

"Here!"

Central officials agreed in unison.

A new era has arrived, a new challenge has begun, and the Ming Central Government and the Revival Association have begun their actions.
Chapter completed!
