Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 783 Financial System (Third Shift)
"For subordinates to destroy a country's economy, the military lord thinks highly of his subordinates..." Da Yu'er heard that Chu Yun wanted to let him use the territory governed by the shogunate of the Eastern Kingdom as a test field, and he couldn't help feeling deeply pressured.

She is only in her early twenties now, and her status in the Six Divisions is not too high. Most of the Kyushu Army is based on the fact that she has helped Chu Yun, and she is a woman, so Da Yuer will Become the group favorite of the six parts.In terms of seniority, it is much shallower than many officials of the Sixth Ministry.

Chu Yun didn’t think so. The group of people under him were all young people. The senior management of the Kyushu Army was unimaginably young. For example, Chu Yun, Yang Tai, Zheng Zhilong, Cao Bianjiao and others were only in their 20s. More susceptible to Chu Yun's influence.In contrast, because the ministers of Chongzhen had to go through the imperial examinations and external tempering, a group of powerful people were all around 60 years old. It is hard to imagine that Zhu Youjian, who is less than 20 years old, would have to fight with these old officialdom foxes. How difficult it is to deal with them.These ministers may be able to play a role in the conservative era, but it may not be so suitable for the special period when China and the West alternated in the late Ming Dynasty and natural disasters continued.

Similarly, the establishment of a suitable financial system also requires a group of energetic young people to explore and create.Because young people will not be bound by too many old rules, and they are often the most impulsive and radical.When the industry begins to flourish, a supporting financial system is needed to guide the allocation of social resources.During the industrial revolution in the West, laissez-faire trade was the first to be implemented, but Chu Yun wanted to skip this stage directly. Given the current national conditions, it is definitely not possible to let the big merchant class lose control, otherwise it is very likely that the Plutocratic forces formed in Jiangnan, Shanxi and other places.

"Of course, I don't want you to imagine it out of thin air, and I and some think tanks from the Academy of Sciences will help you. Even if the financial reform experiment in Japan fails, it is still an experience. Apart from Korea, only Japan and our culture There are similarities, after all, they have learned a lot from us. Observing their reactions and consequences is of great reference value to us." Chu Yun said to Dayuer.

"But... Dongying has a population of 1000 million, and I'm afraid I'll screw everything up." Da Yu'er never felt such a heavy burden when she was on an envoy to the Western Regions.

"If you screw it up, you screw it up, just in time we can send troops to save the people from the fire and water." Chu Yun said.

Whether it's peaceful evolution or the use of force to conquer, it's all Chu Yun's plan.

"You must not have too much burden, just treat it as a kind of training." Chu Yun said with a smile, "Do you know that there are only three types of people in this world who can use countries as experimental subjects, one is the emperor, One is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the other is the Chief Economist. If the results of the experiment can be recorded, the matter itself will be enough to become a topic of interest for future generations."

Seeing that Chu Yun had high hopes for her, Da Yuer took a light breath: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the high hopes of the military master."

"You have half a year to prepare, and this secret plan will start next year. During this period, you need to draw up a detailed financial system design plan. You can go to the Academy of Sciences to find economists there."

"However, those people in the Academy of Sciences are basically 'mercantilism' and 'laissez-faire', and cannot fully adapt to our China's national conditions. You should also ask some officials from the Ministry of Finance, they are the ones who really handle our China's financial affairs Officials, but their centralization ideology is more serious. A good system should be between centralization and laissez-faire. A lonely yin does not grow, and a single yang does not grow. Do you understand what I am talking about?" Chu Yun gestured.

"My lord's argument is even more brilliant than that of Mr. Adam Smith!" Da Yuer's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he admired Chu Yun even more.

Chu Yun gave a dry cough in embarrassment. This was only realized after a long time of exploration by the seniors of his era, and he only borrowed the wisdom of his era...

"If I'm free on weekdays, I can give you some ideas." Chu Yun couldn't help but think of currency reform, company system, stock exchange and other financial systems.

In this era, almost 30 years ago, the Dutch founded the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. In 30 years, the Swedes will have the world's first central bank.The progress of the financial system objectively stimulated mercantilism, provided the funds needed for production, and promoted the industrial revolution to a certain extent.The Industrial Revolution, in turn, also led to continuous innovation in the financial system.

Huaxia had similar financial innovations before, such as Feiqian in the Tang Dynasty and "Jiaozi" in the Song Dynasty. However, due to the change of dynasties and the constraints of the small-scale peasant economy, these innovations did not really become mainstream.

There is another reason why Chu Yun did not explain it to Dayuer, that is, Dongying Huaxia will advocate turning Dongying into a province.If the financial reform can gain a firm foothold in Japan, it will be a good thing to promote it in the mainland. Even if the reform fails and the local people will be angry, the local people will only blame the shogunate. Just go and clean up the mess with the posture of a teacher, maybe the common people will welcome you with food.No matter what, there are countermeasures.

"The military lord is really a strange person, and his subordinates will definitely draft a report that satisfies the military lord. If there is anything unclear, please ask the military lord to correct it." Da Yuer regarded the task assigned by Chu Yun as a subject.

Throughout the ages, how many subjects can be tested in a place with a population of 1000 million... Thinking of this, Da Yuer couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Regardless of success or failure, I must write a memoir in the future.Da Yuer thought to himself.

"Besides you, there are also a few top students who graduated from the Academy of Sciences participating in this plan. Some of them may be your juniors. They are proficient in Chinese and Western knowledge. They should be able to gain further experience through this plan. You just came back from the Western Regions. Next year I really feel guilty for asking you to go to Dongying again. Besides the normal assessment in the six parts, if you want to reward something, and I can do it, you can tell me." Chu Yun In order to be able to industrialize the country , using almost all the strength around him.

He used to think that industry only needs to build factories, but in fact, when he actually handles it, everything is inextricably linked. It was difficult.

"I don't have anything to reward my subordinates." Da Yu'er secretly sighed.
