People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 354 Good news keeps coming! The value of treasure banknotes has greatly increased! The reform has achieved fruitful results! !
The Kingdom of Siam suddenly proposed to establish a naval base in their country. For Lan Yu, this matter was actually expected.

Because he knew that no matter which country they were, as long as they saw the benefits achieved in Annan Kingdom, they would definitely follow suit.

At first, the countries in Southeast Asia united and said they would resist the Ming Dynasty's tyranny in their countries.

But there is actually no unity among them at all, and they even attack each other.

After Hu Jiyou came to power, Annan State became very arrogant and domineering.

With their so-called invincible fighting will, they carried out a massive expansion war in the surrounding areas.

It has brought many unrest factors to surrounding countries.

Siam has been a country for a hundred years, and their country has always been very peaceful.

Under the leadership of the king, although it was not prosperous, life was pretty good.

Now Annan Kingdom suddenly introduced the naval base of the Ming Dynasty.

If all the Nanyang countries have installed the Ming Dynasty naval base, it will no longer be so easy to talk about.

So we are now very happy to let the Ming Dynasty Navy build a naval base in our country of Siam.

This time the king's brother came to persuade Lan Yu.

Chen Han repeatedly urged the navy to play its due role in Nanyang.

Although they did not attack Annan Kingdom, it was for the purpose of laying out the entire Nanyang.

Let all Nanyang countries understand that if they do not cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, they are seeking death.

You can set whatever conditions you want, as long as we can meet them, our king and all our subjects will be satisfied.

Now these twenty kilograms of gold are considered our wishes, and I would like to ask the general to report our wishes to the Ming Dynasty.

Now that they saw the construction of the Ming Naval Base, they immediately came forward.

There is a huge competitive relationship between them.

After saying these words, Lan Yu was very satisfied.

On the other hand, it is also to promote the country’s prestige, which we all understand.

I hope that the Ming Dynasty can make a decision as soon as possible so that we can enjoy the protection of the Ming Navy. "

Show off all your majesty.

Because the two countries are not only close to each other.

"Your Excellency, General, we know that the Ming Dynasty now needs to deploy various naval bases in Southeast Asia.

Both countries are quite big in terms of Nanyang, and the countries have already been at odds with each other.

At the same time, Annan Kingdom has been competing with Siam Kingdom to dominate the entire Southeast Asia.

On the one hand, it is convenient to combat pirates in Southeast Asian countries and facilitate transactions between all countries and the Ming Dynasty;

All citizens and courtiers were worried that one day, the Annan Congress and the Ming Dynasty would unite to invade Siam.

Just like now.

From now on, we will not invade them directly.

The Ming Dynasty has put forward some conditions, which are also very threatening.

Lan Yu accepted the filial piety from the Kingdom of Siam, and immediately after sending away the envoy from the Kingdom of Siam, he wrote a letter and asked the returning team to take it to Chen Han.

Twenty days later, Chen Han received this letter.

When I saw the letter, I not only reported that the construction of the trade distribution center in the Champa Kingdom was successfully carried out.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Siam also requested the establishment of a naval base in their country.

Chen Han immediately discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor. The courtiers also heard about these things at this time. The courtiers were very dissatisfied with Chen Han's reforms before.

But now, in the six months since it has been implemented that the law should be passed, that people working as vendors should work as farmers, and that the gentry and gentry should pay their grain as one body,

Especially after taking the exam and killing so many prefects, everyone knows what to do.

After the past six months, things have gotten much better.

Various plans formulated by Chen Han and others were implemented effectively.

Although there are definitely flaws in it, it is at least much better than before.

No one dares to use the examination method to create difficulties.

No one took advantage of the examination method to take advantage of the loopholes, and implemented it very independently.

In the past six months, more than 10 million taels of silver and more than 300,000 taels of gold were shipped back from the Japanese slaves.

After the gold and silver were put into the warehouse, Chen Han once again bought back a large amount of treasure notes.

The reason used this time is no longer taxation, but a large area of ​​discounted sales of cotton cloth in economically underdeveloped areas such as Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Liaodong, northern Shandong, Yunnan, and Lingnan, Guizhou.

These places lack food and clothing, and their economies have always been underdeveloped.

But after so many years of accumulation in the hands of ordinary people, there are still a lot of treasures.

Therefore, after a large number of daily necessities are sold to these underdeveloped areas almost at the cost of breaking bones, the people are happy to take out their treasured coins to buy cotton cloth.

This time, a large number of treasure banknotes were withdrawn, making the purchasing power of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes finally close to the initial issuance price of a regular treasure banknote exchanged for one tael of silver.

Correspondingly, the large textile merchants in the southeast coast and other places also made a lot of money this time.

Although what they got was silver.

But it’s a win-win for everyone.

This time, the imperial court used the silver transported back from the Japanese slaves to purchase a large amount of textiles from traders, and then sold them to underdeveloped areas.

The common people can use the treasure money in their hands to buy a large amount of urgently needed and cheap cotton cloth for clothes.

The court seemed to be losing money, but in fact it was not.

Benefiting the people, the treasure banknotes were collected and the value of the treasure banknotes was increased.

Commodities have been circulated again, and businessmen have gained capital and can increase production.

The value of so much treasure money recovered by the imperial court through taxation has doubled invisibly.

This is the effect of commodity flow.

After completing this large-scale purchase and batch sale, Chen Han issued an order to the Ministry of Commerce to reduce state procurement of bulk goods as much as possible in the next few years.
It is about opening up business circulation links, especially in these underdeveloped areas.

Chen Han has already formulated a plan to lay cement pavement in underdeveloped areas first.

In the past six months, through a large number of infrastructure projects invested by the court, the value of Baobao has increased from the previous Baobao which could only be exchanged for more than 700 Wen, to nearly 960 Wen now, which has achieved very good results.

People are becoming more and more confident in treasure banknotes. Of course, the ratio of treasure banknotes to silver should not be too large.

If it is too large, the silver stock in the private sector will depreciate too quickly, which is not conducive to economic development.

Therefore, Chen Han cannot give a reasonable exchange ratio at once, but he respects the law of free economic circulation.

Only make the right intervention at the right time.

And this intelligence source relies on the increasingly powerful Jin Yiwei, which has been reorganized into the Tax Inspection Department and the Ming Dynasty Baoqian Lifting Department.

The reason why Chen Han wants to collect these information and bring it to the court to join forces with Nanyang Development is that he has prepared a more specific plan for the next step, how to suppress Nanyang countries economically. …
