A large amount of wasteland has been recultivated, and the lives of the people have improved, and the country's taxes are naturally indispensable.
In addition, the agricultural taxation of Qi State is far lower than any period in history. Under various circumstances, Cao Anmin can guarantee that unless there are several years of drought, or the constant turmoil of the Little Ice Age, otherwise, the people in Qi State will All states and counties will have no impact.
As for iron ore.
There was a shortage of Cao Anmin back then, but now that they have taken control of Youzhou and other northern states and counties, this problem has already been resolved.
In later generations, the mining of a large amount of iron ore in Hebei and Liaodong led to the birth of a large number of steel factories. With these excellent examples, Cao Anmin would not lack iron ore.
In this way, I won't get anything from Fang La.On the other hand, Fang La can get a war horse from here.
He also said that he would not use war horses to deal with himself. If you tell ghosts this, ghosts will not believe it.
Among the nations, there are only interests. The so-called neighborly friendship is only for fools.
Cao Anmin looked at Wang Yin with contempt. Of course, Wang Yin, who lowered his head at this time, couldn't see Cao Anmin's expression.
After thinking for a while, Cao Anmin suddenly smiled and said, "This proposal from your country sounds pretty good."
Wang Yin was overjoyed, and was about to answer, but heard the other party continue: "However, the noble envoy still needs to agree to one condition, as long as you agree, no matter how many war horses Jiangnan wants from now on, I will give you as much as you want."
Chapter 656 National Debt
Inside the main hall, like a stone falling and causing thousands of waves, Qi Guo Wenwu raised his head and couldn't believe his ears at all.
Even Wang Yin didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.
The State of Yue also sent envoys to discuss mutual business before, but in the end everything backfired.
Whether it is coercion or lure, Qi State dare not take risks in the face of high profits.
Now when he asks the question, he has no confidence deep in his heart.
Because he himself understands that the bargaining chip offered by Yue Guo is really too low.It is as difficult as heaven to get Lord Qi to open up the war horse deal with the reason of exchanging benefits.Even if Qi State faces the joint efforts of the five countries to make things difficult, it doesn't matter to them whether they have the help of Yue State.
This sudden friendship is extremely cheap for the mighty Qi State.
Unexpectedly, just when he felt that everything was hopeless, the leader of Qi, Cao Anmin, actually brought him such a good thing. Even though he knew that the other party had other plans, he still couldn't help asking in his heart: "What does your lord want?" Conditions, as long as we can do it, we will do anything.”
Cao Anmin showed a gratified smile on his face, and said lightly: "Since the king of Yue has been called king, he has always respected our country, and often sends envoys here to move him with affection and reason. Yes. The life of the people in the south of the Yangtze River is hard, and we don’t need your things, but if the people in the land of widows sell horses to you, if there is no benefit, there is some objection. In order to reflect fairness, and to ensure that you and others It is more convenient for subjects to come to Qi to buy horses, and Qi will issue something called bonds."
"Bond? I don't know what this bond is?"
"Bonds are specially issued by Qi State to raise funds for war. If your country wants to buy our country's war horses, it must first buy bonds."
"This..." Wang Yin didn't understand for a while, and all the officials of Qi State were also in a fog.
Cao Anmin continued to explain: "For example, if a war horse is sold for [-] gold, the noble envoy must first purchase the bonds issued by the treasury of our country before he can trade with the bonds. Any transaction without purchasing the bonds is illegal. No loan."
Wang Yin was a little puzzled.
Isn't it easier to trade with real money?Why add one more link to the simplicity, buy this bond.
Turning simplicity into tediousness, is this Qi State's consistent style of doing things?
"Your envoy may wish to think about it. Every time you trade your country, you need to buy at least hundreds of thousands of horses. You need to pay at least tens of thousands of gold at a time. If you want to transport so much gold through the territory of Wu State, once it is bought by Wu State If it is intercepted, the loss will be huge, and your envoy understands it in his heart. But you bought the bonds, you only need to send one person to carry the bonds across the river, and then we will transport the horses across the territory of Wu State by sea to Kuaiji. And the widow is willing I will sell it to you at half the price of Wei Guo."
Only then did Wang Yin understand.
As Cao Anmin said.
Qi State's control is extremely strict, which has led to rising prices in the black market.
Take the price of Wei Guo as an example, the price of a war horse has reached 120 gold.
To form a cavalry unit, at least [-] horses are needed.
And this investment was beyond Fang La's ability to bear.
If the Qi State sells it at sixty gold, the formation of cavalry will be much faster.
And I believe that Fang La will accept this price.
"If that's the case, the minister will thank the king on behalf of my lord."
Cao Anmin said indifferently: "In the future, the Bureau of Commerce and Trade will be responsible for the purchase of war horses. From now on, crossing the border only needs to pay taxes according to the amount of goods to obtain relevant certificates and enter the states and counties of Qi. Yue merchants If you encounter any unfair treatment or danger, you can use this certificate to seek asylum from the local state capital."
Wang Yin's face was full of gratitude. Lord Qi would ensure that their businessmen have certain rights and interests in Qi State. This is indeed a good policy.
In this way, the State of Yue can not only get the war horses it wants, but also bring its own goods to the territory of the State of Qi for sale.It can be said that it is best to promote the domestic economic development in this way.
But for some reason, Wang Yin always felt a little uneasy in his heart, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything that would be disadvantageous to the country of Yue...
No matter how you look at it, this is a great thing for Yue.
After thinking about it, Wang Yin still plans to tell Fang La about this matter now, and ask Fang La to make up his mind.
Thinking of this, he bowed to Cao Anmin and said: "This matter is too involved, let the minister first report to my king, and then we can make a decision."
Cao Anmin waved his hand with a smile, motioning him to calm down and said: "It's okay, this matter is a big one, so naturally we have to report it to the king of your country."
"Since this is the case, then the subject will retreat first."
Cao Anmin nodded, watching Wang Yin bow and retreat.
"My lord, the wolves of the Yue Kingdom are ambitious. If they sell their war horses to them, it will be feeding tigers with meat. If they become stronger and then counterattack us, they will be shooting themselves in the foot. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Say something.
Cao Anmin shook his head and said, "You all think so too?"
Guang Luxun Xinpi, Shaofu Mi Zhu, Da Si Nong Zhang Shuo, and Shang Shuling Chen Deng all objected to this.
"What does Sima think?"
Yao Guangxiao said with a faint smile: "I have been assisting the king since Jiujiang started his army, and he has always believed that the king is a great talent, a rare unparalleled emperor in ancient and modern times. If you want to really compare it, even the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu may not be able to match the king. Since the king is so confident, it must be The little country of Yue has long been applauded by the king. Why should you colleagues worry about this!"
Cao Anmin laughed heartily and said: "I dare not compare with these ancient sages. It is a pity that we are born in troubled times. If Gaozu is alive, I will be Han Xin Pengyue, defeat the overlord, establish the Han Dynasty, and leave a name in history; if Guangwu is alive, I will be with you. As for the emperor of Qin, he is a model of our generation, dare not compare, dare not compare! The national debt is a strategy to attack and destroy Yue. This matter must not be delayed. If you want to win it easily Jiangnan must use this method to win quickly."
Everyone saw that Cao Anmin was so confident, even if they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask more questions.
Cao Anmin took a sip of warm water, and asked Luo Shidao, who was standing beside him, "In addition to the envoys from the grassland, can Song Jiang from Yuzhou send envoys?"
Luo Shixin thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, the envoy of Song Jiang is also outside the hall."
Cao Anmin smiled slightly and said, "Please ask Song Jiang's envoy first to ask those grassland tribes to wait outside."
Luo Shixin led the way out.
