Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 267

When the economic strength is strong, the cultural strength will also be strong.

Whether it is now or future generations, this principle is applicable.

For a long time, the economic strength of the Central Plains Dynasty has been the number one in the world, and the surrounding boys are trembling after seeing it.

Therefore, the Japanese people in this period really worshiped and admired the Central Plains Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

To put it bluntly, as long as the group of people led by Qin Xiedao are willing, they can be grooms every night in Nanbajin.

The free kind.

Even many Japanese people will take the initiative to drag you into other people's thatched huts in order to improve their own species.

So boys should pay attention to safety when they go out.

"No problem! When we build the castle, we will build an academy at the same time, and recruit students from all the Japanese people who want to serve Great Tang.

This year is the first year, and the scale is estimated to be relatively small, but it will continue to expand in the future, making it the largest academy in our country. "

Qin Xiedao would not refuse to get his hands on our country's education.

Although the Japanese people can definitely steal a lot of things during this learning process.

But if this opportunity is used to brainwash the elite generation of the Wa country, it will also be of great benefit to Datang.

At worst, I will teach more Buddhist scriptures and the Four Books and Five Classics at that time.

All kinds of craftsmanship are absolutely not taught.

"Thank you Qin Langjun! Don't worry, we all understand the rules of apprenticeship in the Tang Dynasty. In this academy, there will definitely be no shortage of Shuxiu.

There are not many other things in our country, but there are a lot of gold and silver ingots. "

Su Wo Saburo now also understands that gold ingots and silver ingots are the most valued items in the country of Tang Dynasty.

Other things, I guess people are not so rare.

Even if it is rare, the value is not necessarily high.

……

There was a lot of sincerity between both parties, and soon, the first batch of payment for the goods digested by the merchants in Nambatsu was moved to the deck.

"Brother Qin, these Japanese people are too rich, right? But why do I feel that their lives are clearly miserable.

Especially the ordinary people in the Wa country, few of them can properly eat their stomachs. "

Looking at the gleaming gold ingots on the deck, Yuchihuan was a little skeptical about life.

Although the purity of these gold ingots is not as high as that of Tang Dynasty, they are still gold no matter what.

Just put boxes one by one on the deck, just like the ones that don’t cost money.

"Wa's gold and silver mines are scattered all over the islands, and the mining difficulty is generally lower than that of our Datang's gold and silver mines.

Coupled with the accumulation of so many years, the wealth will naturally not be less.

The purchasing power of things like gold and silver is related to the output and supply capacity of goods.

For example, in the same year, Japan produced 100 catties of gold and [-] million catties of gold. Will the purchasing power of gold remain the same?

If there aren't as many goods available on the market, the purchasing power of gold will drop.

If this relationship is extended to Datang and Wa, the situation will be better understood.

The productivity of our Datang is relatively developed, and there are more things on the market, but the gold production is relatively low, so the purchasing power of gold is very high.

But the country of Japan is just the opposite, so these gold ingots, we think the value is high, maybe in the eyes of the people of the country of Japan, that is the case.

In their view, gold ingots can be mined in the mountains at any time, and if they are used up, they can continue to mine and expand the scale of mining.

But those things we provide, they can't produce them, and they can't buy them elsewhere, so the meaning is completely different. "

Qin Xiedao was worried that Yuchihuan and his group would be eroded by the money, so he explained a bit more.

"Brother Qin is right, gold and silver are just lumps, neither edible nor drinkable, the most important thing is to be rich in material.

Of course, with the emergence of our gold coins and silver coins, and the development of various trades, gold coins and silver coins can also be used to buy various things from various foreign countries such as the Wa Kingdom.

And because the domestic demand for currency is constantly increasing, we can use some less meaningful materials to exchange for a large amount of gold and silver, which is also a very profitable thing.

I estimate that after we return to Chang'an City, there will be more merchants who want to develop trade overseas. "

Cheng Chumo was a little more stable, and also answered Yuchihuan's questions.

"Now Datang's money supply capacity cannot keep up with the speed of economic development. If the Royal Bank of Datang did not start minting gold and silver coins in time, Datang would soon have a copper panic.

This is very harmful to Datang's economic development.

But now it’s all right, with the country of Wa as a source of cheap gold and silver ingots, we only need to transport mirrors, porcelain and other things to sell them, and we can easily get a lot of gold and silver.

This can not only further promote the development of our own related industries, but also exchange for many overseas specialty products, which is absolutely extraordinary in significance. "

Qin Xiedao has been instilling in everyone the view that maritime trade is of great significance.

Judging from the history of later generations, whether it is Spain, Portugal, or the British Empire, they were not originally big countries with a vast land area.

But by virtue of sea trade, they gained huge benefits, which made themselves one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time.

Although Datang is already a powerful country in the world, if it can further develop maritime trade, then it will really have the opportunity to improve the lives of the people to a higher level.

Only by continuously exploiting other foreign countries can ordinary people in Datang have the opportunity to live a superior life.

Why do later generations of Western countries have high welfare and live so comfortably?

It's not because people have completed the accumulation of wealth and achieved the progress of the entire country through various methods such as colonization in the early years.

So future generations have the capital to gnaw on the old.

Qin Xiedao hoped that the descendants of the people of the Tang Dynasty would also have the opportunity to grow old.

"I used to hear Brother Qin say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I didn't feel much about it, but now it seems that what he said is really reasonable.

If I hadn't been to Wa Kingdom in person, I would never have imagined how life here would be like this. The importance of gold and silver here is actually so much lower than that in Datang.

We Tang people come here, as long as we don't consider the homesickness of foreign countries, we seem to be able to live comfortably.

These Japanese people completely regard us as the most honored guests. "

Fang Yiai couldn't help expressing emotion.

In the past few days, too many things have refreshed his three views.

Especially last night, he really enjoyed the picky treatment.
