I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 825, Trade Issues

The reason why Wang Guojun attached importance to the new map brought by Zhen Xing and the others was because he wanted to expand Dagan's trade volume.Because they found that the more prosperous the trade, the better the economy of Dagan, and the higher the income of the court.

In fact, in the past few years, Wang Guojun and other high-level officials have encountered an incomprehensible problem!It is clear that the Silk Road of the former Han Dynasty has been running safely for hundreds of years, and even this road has supported the Western Regions and enriched the Chang'an area.

But after they established the Maritime Silk Road, whether it is silk tea or other large-scale goods transported by sea, it was hundreds of times that of the Han Dynasty. It is said that there are many obstacles!Many countries are unwilling to trade with them, and the richer countries are, the more obstacles they set up for them.

The merchants who worked hard at the beginning went to Tianzhu to trade, and they did make some money in the first two years, but soon the countries in the Tianzhu area began to restrict their trade one by one. If Liu Bei had not opened up the situation, the trade volume of Tianzhu would not even be as good as that of the South China Sea. A region full of savages.

The same is true for their maritime merchants going to the Anxi Empire and other places. The Anxi Empire is stronger, has a larger population, and more wealth, but they still begin to restrict the trade of large maritime merchants.

According to the latest laws of the Parthian Empire, only 200 seagoing ships can dock at most in one year, and all seagoing ships exceeding this number are smuggling ships, and they will confiscate all the goods if they catch them!

So they were shocked to find that a large empire with a population of tens of millions was not much less wealthy than Daqian, and the commodities it could digest were not as good as the New World where savages were everywhere.

Only Xu Wei barely knows why. Although the industrialization of Dagan is extremely primitive, no matter how primitive it is, Dagan can barely be called an industrial country now. Dagan's productivity was the strongest in the feudal era, but now it is still With the addition of industrialization, it is even more impossible for ordinary feudal countries to resist the wave of increasing productivity.

It is difficult for these countries to withstand the impact of Daqian industrial products. In order to reduce losses, they need silk, tea, and porcelain, but Dagan rarely needs their local goods. The trade is not balanced at all. Shiploads of gold and silver were transported back.

"Government, the goods we are doing are so good, and they like them so much, why do these countries restrict trade, don't they know the benefits of trade flow! We are doing a prosperous world with restrictions, because we broke the internal hills Head, so that the goods can be distributed to all parts of Dagan!" Wang Guojun said helplessly.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Most countries in the world use gold and silver as currency. The gold is used as a circulation function within the country firstly, and secondly as socially recognized wealth.

However, Xu Wei's special experience made him extremely disgusted with the colonial history of such naval guns. Of course, he did not want to become a colonist in the history books of later generations.

This kind of thing happened in the country of Wa.The productivity of the Wa country is far inferior to that of the original Daming. As a result, even though the Wa country guarded several gold and silver mountains, their wealth was still sucked up by Daming within hundreds of years. Relying on the money of the Wa country, Da Ming made silver, which did not produce silver, become the mainstream. currency.And now these countries rest in peace just want to use this method to reduce the loss of gold and silver in their own country!

And the gold and silver earned by working hard in a year is hundreds of times more than that of the Han Dynasty. Of course, these countries in Anxi can't bear such blood-sucking. They can only find ways to limit the amount of trade.

However, Dagan wanted to solve the trade problem with the Anxi Empire. The colonists in history had already given the answer, which was to use naval guns to open the doors of these countries in Anxi, making these countries the origin of Dagan’s commodity production and raw materials.

Although the Kingdom Army was annoyed at the Parthians' restrictions on trade, he also knew the danger of the fleet's expedition to thousands of miles, so it was naturally impossible to agree with these merchants.

And lands like the South China Sea and the New World are still in the barbaric era, even more so than no so-called countries. The productivity of the savages in these areas is extremely low, and they can't produce much wealth. To a certain extent, the arrival of Daqian has improved With their productivity and living standards, they naturally don't have to restrict the goods they have in these countries like Anxi, because they can't produce anything!The arrival of the Dagan people, on the contrary, increased the local wealth and made the living standards of the savages soar.

Of course, distance is also a problem. Anxi is tens of thousands of miles away from Dagan, and this country is still in a prosperous age. Even if Dagan has the upper hand in weapons, it is not so easy to defeat Anxi. The advantage is not too big, the colonists back then dared to attack some primitive countries, but for the feudal countries, they generally focused on trade, and only after they found out that they were weak, they would pounce on them!

During this period of time, many businessmen have spoken ill of the Parthian Empire to the Kingdom Army, especially the Parthian Empire used pirates to rob their merchant ships, which caused them huge losses. Therefore, these merchants approached the Kingdom Army and asked him to be the master. It is best to send a large fleet to fight them!

You also know that our goods are very popular. Many times our goods are sold, but these countries do not have the goods we need, which causes our merchants to only transport gold back.

But doing so will cause an extremely bad impact, the lack of currency circulation within the country, resulting in deflation.This is the reason why these countries restrict and engage in trade. If they have enough goods to trade with us, this kind of behavior will not happen like now! "

At this time, Wang Guojun suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that after Liu Bei went to Tianzhu, our trade with Tianzhu increased exponentially, because they found new trade goods!"

This understanding is really perfect, but Xu Wei is a little embarrassed!

Because the goods from Tianzhu were the nobles of Tianzhu back then, if there was a choice in this trade, Xu Wei would not want it, because it reminded him of the slave trade back then.

At the beginning, Liu Bei paid all the nobles in Tianzhu and sold them to the South China Sea for development. Now these Tianzhus have become the wives of Dagan people (compared with savages, the Tianzhu nobles who have been optimized for thousands of years are more in line with the aesthetics of Dagan people , so many of the great officials who work in the South China Sea have married Tianzhu women as their wives!)
Or become the stewards of the big cadres, manage affairs, and help the big cadres manage the savages in the South China Sea, that is, the status and treatment of these Tianzhu people are slightly higher, so that Xu Wei can comfort himself. Anyway, these Tianzhu people came to the South China Sea. To become a slave, Dagan has not degenerated into a slave trader like Niu Niu.Dagan's moral bottom line is higher than Niuniu's.
