Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

And this core goal is also the fundamental guidance for Daheng's erosion of northwest Tibet and the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.

For northwest Tibet, it is a small step, a steady and steady fight, and its fundamental purpose is to prepare for a large-scale march into Tibet in the future.

Building roads, military depots, relocating people, from Shaanxi, Sichuan, a few places to erode towards Tibet bit by bit.

Compared with the difficulty of dealing with Tibet, it is much simpler for the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.

Since Lin Danhan went south and was forced to withdraw his troops, the border market that used to maintain the grassland has been completely closed, and it has never been opened up to now.

For the grassland, the imperial court's fundamental purpose is to divide and win over the grassland, to make the grassland civil strife endless, and to eliminate the vitality of the grassland.

And after the mutual market was closed, after so many years of provocation, the entire grassland has completely changed the situation compared to before.

Lin Danhan, the once uncrowned king of the grassland, no longer has the power of the past. After so many years of provocation and division by Daheng, the situation in the grassland seems to have returned to the era of competition among heroes.

Lin Dan Khan can only be said to be a Mongolian Khan who still holds military power, and he has no power to control the situation on the grassland.

After all, the most fundamental point is that grassland materials are scarce. In many cases, it is necessary to go south to fight the autumn wind, or to trade with the southern dynasty.

But now, the mutual market is closed, and they have gone south several times, and each time they hit their heads badly.

Under the crisis of survival, or in other words, before he, Lin Dan Khan, cannot solve the survival crisis of belonging to the tribe, he, the Mongolian Khan, must be useless.

He could only sit back and watch the Mongol Empire, which he had worked so hard to create, disintegrate, and the tribes who belonged to each other conquered each other. What's more, they became out-and-out bastards.

In addition, the iron cavalry at the Daheng Border Pass was not pulling the side frame, plowing the court and sweeping the caves again and again, and captured the strong men and prisoners for the strategy of entering Tibet, which made Lin Danhan's liver hurt even more.

Obviously, the situation on the grassland, under the single-minded manipulation of a unified dynasty, will inevitably continue, and it will inevitably become more and more chaotic.

Just wait until the day after Daheng has finished recharging his energy and energy, he can ride on the grassland and do his best in one battle.

The land of Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest is obviously very different from the Tibetan areas in the northwest and the grasslands in the northern Xinjiang.

After all, Tibet in the northwest and the grasslands in northern Xinjiang are all veritable foreign countries. You can do whatever you want, and you can do things like border cavalry running to the grasslands to catch slaves and build roads, and no one says no. , you can see how wrong Daheng is to outsiders.

But the land of Yunnan and Guizhou is obviously completely different. It was ruled by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. Although there are still many chieftains today, it can be regarded as a serious Han province in a sense.

Under the awe of Daheng's military power, those chieftains who emerged in endlessly also obeyed Daheng on the surface. Before the rebellion, they were the people of Daheng.

In addition, Daheng's military focus now lies in the north, and the operation of Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest is obviously also struggling under these scruples.

But Yan Shun, who lives in Yunnan and Guizhou, and Zhou Yuji, who lives in the northwest, obviously have the same predicament.

After all, whether it is Yunnan, Guizhou, or Tibet, the terrain can be called a steep and rugged area.

In this way, the purpose of the two is obviously the same.

That is, no matter what the situation is, it is all about building roads!

Stones are blown up when encountering rocks, and bridges are repaired when encountering water, as if they are determined to build a smooth road.

Therefore, after taking office as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Yan Shun and the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou, and after reporting to the Ministry of Industry, drew up a road construction plan.

In the past few years, road construction projects can be seen everywhere in Yunnan and Guizhou.

From Guangxi to Yunnan and Guizhou, from Sichuan to Yunnan and Guizhou, and the roads within the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou...

The purpose is very simple, to completely unblock the roads between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and other provinces in the world.

As long as the road is unimpeded, all the problems that are a headache now will not be a problem in the face of Daheng's military might and national strength.

Terrain is the root cause of the problem.

Chapter 655 Currency

A big meeting at the beginning of the new year, a court meeting of civil and military officials, also set the national policy plan for the seventh year of Zhaowu.

And this year, in fact, is still no different from previous years. The emperor's many national policies, each of which, even the fiscal, taxation and land reform that was implemented as a pilot in the second year of Zhaowu, has not been implemented until now, several years later. in process.

The Northland is still fine, but the distances between several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are completely clear, and it is still far away to form a Daheng financial and taxation system.

This year is bound to be another year of continuation of previous policies, and also a year for Daheng to recharge its batteries.

At the beginning of the year, the expansion and renovation plan of the capital drafted by the Ministry of Industry was approved by the emperor, and immediately, the expansion of the capital began in full swing.

The plan is very simple, mainly aimed at the expansion of the shantytowns in Baichuan Port, as well as the renovation and repair of the old and dilapidated parts of the capital.

To put it simply, it is to allow this ancient capital to better undertake various functions brought about by the changes of the times.

Among them, the most important is the economic function.

The emperor tried to replace the center of gravity of agriculture with commerce, and also tried to improve the economic functions of the capital, thereby strengthening the center's control over wealth.

After all, under the constraints of the times, the center of the imperial court must be a trinity of military, politics, and economy, so that the rule of the center can be stable.

The main economy of the farming nation is naturally agriculture, and the emperor's prosperity in commerce, in a way, is also to weaken the hidden danger that the capital is not an agricultural center.

Including the establishment of the taxation department and the establishment of the center directly under the Shibo Department, all are to allow the imperial center to better control the world's agricultural and commercial wealth.

There is a country first, and then a family. Only when the country is strong can the family be stable.

And the most fundamental thing for a country to be strong is money!

Just like the Southern Song Dynasty in history, the Southern Song Dynasty could not be said to be decadent or corrupt, but it was so decadent and corrupt, but it was able to support the Mongolian Empire across Europe and Asia for so many years.

The fundamental reason is also money!

Commercial trade is extremely developed, even if the country is corrupt, there is no shortage of money!

Even though there are astronomical figures of old coins offered every year, they can be easily returned through the exchange of trade deficits between the two countries.

For a country, if there is no shortage of money, no matter how difficult the situation is, there will be enough operational situations.

Today's Daheng, whether it is fiscal and taxation policies, or the establishment of functional organizations, even if it is the work-for-relief these years, the construction of roads and rivers, everything is rushing towards this goal.

It can be said that today's Daheng has created a complete business and economic environment, and the rest is just slowly filling and repairing.

However, this commercial economic system still lacks the most critical link and the most critical pillar.

Namely... currency!

Daheng's currency is not uncomplicated.

Thanks to historical reasons, each emperor will issue the current currency when he ascends the throne.

The same is true of Daheng today. In the Ming Dynasty, the copper coins issued by various emperors were circulated in the world. After the founding of Daheng, the Zhaowu Tongbao copper coins issued were also circulated in the world.

In addition, a large amount of foreign silver flows into the country, the circulation of gold and silver precious currencies under the prosperity of commerce, various official silver, private silver, official gold, private gold...

In today's Daheng world, the chaos of currency is almost constant, and the reason is still chaotic.

The Daheng Bank came into being under such circumstances. With the popularization of the Daheng Bank, the bank note has replaced the currency function of gold and silver in a sense, and has become the first choice for commercial trade.

But obviously, under such circumstances, the Daheng currency lacks one of the most important attributes of currency since ancient times.

That is seigniorage!

The bank's banknotes depend on how much silver is deposited to have a large amount of banknotes.

Constant value, equal.

This can be called currency, but it is definitely not Daheng's currency!

Since ancient times, it has been extremely normal for the imperial court to mint coins and use fineness and fire consumption to earn seigniorage.

Just like a copper coin, [-]% copper and [-]% iron, the court minted ten copper coins and earned one copper coin.

[-]% copper, [-]% iron, if you mint ten copper coins, you will earn eight.

This method of seigniorage, as long as it looks not too ugly, is basically the most harmless source of fiscal revenue for the imperial court.

After all, at the source of the currency, money is earned. As long as the food is not too ugly, the common people will not notice it at all, so it is naturally extremely harmless.

And the further development of seigniorage is naturally paper currency.

The son of the Song Dynasty, the precious banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, and even the banknotes of the world in later generations...

At this point, it is completely empty-handed white wolf.

Originally, a constant amount of copper is needed to mint a copper coin, even if it is stolen, it should not be too obvious. After all, the common people are not all blind.

And a piece of paper...how much does it cost?

The imperial court set a banknote worth one copper coin, that is the value of one copper coin, and set a banknote at one tael of silver, that is the value of one tael of silver...

In short, as long as the imperial court's reputation is strong enough to allow paper money to circulate and become the main currency of the country, then the imperial court can easily plunder the wealth of the entire country's people with a piece of paper.

Of course, this must also follow the laws of the market. The consequences of excessive issuance of Mingzhibao's banknotes are worthless.

But even if it is issued in accordance with the laws of the market...

An insignificant piece of paper is enough to be called the country's largest and most harmless wealth income!

And this is only in the country.

Since ancient times, China has been called the Central Heavenly Dynasty. The reason for this is naturally that the country is strong and prosperous, and it radiates to the surrounding countries, and all nations come to the DPRK.

And when banknotes radiate to neighboring countries with national power, and with the exchange of commerce and trade, they even replace the currencies of other countries and occupy the currency status of other countries...

The economy of a country is under the control of Daheng's currency.

At that time, it will be... the real soldier who surrenders without fighting!

The foundation of the prosperity of the United States of later generations lies in this.

Dollar hegemony, economic colonization!

Daheng is in an era of continuous natural disasters, but at the same time, Daheng is also in the best era.

The age of great navigation brought about the beginning of world communication!

Numerous interests are unsuspectingly exposed, and the order and rules of the world have not yet been formed.

A piece of cake that is as big as Daheng, a piece of cake that is enough for Daheng, enough for the Han people to stand on top of the world in the true sense, is waiting for Daheng to divide it up, or even swallow it all!

To plunder the wealth of the world and supply the people of a country.

Then this country, before the plundering order collapsed, must undoubtedly stand at the top of the world.

And the basic wealth base has expanded from one country in Daheng to the whole world, there is no doubt that even if the historical cycle cannot be violated.

There are still very few people who eat meat, and most people eat soup, but this soup is the size of a world.

The cycle of history will inevitably be extended by many, many, and the national destiny of Daheng has never been more prosperous since ancient times!

Chapter 656 Daheng Notes

It is obvious that today's Daheng already has a rudimentary commercial economic system, and what is missing is currency, to be precise, banknotes with sufficient national reputation!

The grand vision of the emperor, the most important thing, is also paper money.

Although the world trade of banknotes needs an anchor controlled by Daheng.

But no matter in which era, national strength is the real anchor!

Why did the pound sterling in history become the mainstream currency in the world?

The fundamental reason is because of the countless British colonies in history, the British fleet that traverses the ocean and shakes the world!

The same is true for the US dollar in later generations. Even if there is oil as the anchor of the US dollar, if there is no US national power that can shock the world, the US dollar cannot have such a status.

But it is also obvious that in today's era, there are two biggest obstacles to the promotion of banknotes.

The first is reputation, referring to national reputation.

The second is the sophistication of banknotes, which refers to the difficulty of counterfeiting and identification.

As for these two issues, in fact, since the pre-Ming period, the emperor has been preparing for them one after another.

The most important thing is the establishment of banks and the emergence of a large number of state-owned monopoly firms.

Today's Daheng Bank is spread all over the world, and the banknotes of Daheng Bank have become the most important currency for commercial exchanges in the world.

The Daheng Bank is completely state-owned, and the bank's banknotes are so popular, in a sense, it represents the strength of the country's reputation.

A large number of state-owned monopoly firms represent the foundation of the business environment and are under the control of the state.

Moreover, the remaining private commercial firms are, in fact, also under the control of the state. After all, today's private commercial firms are worthy of a name, and there are powerful shadows behind them.

It is undoubtedly a very clear thing that the rich and powerful control the firm, and the emperor controls the powerful and powerful.

Although the main body of banknotes is the common people of the world, the circulation of banknotes still depends on commercial trade.

There is no doubt that the reputation of the country has been stabilized and strengthened in these years, and the main business environment is under control. Up to now, the promotion of banknotes has obviously not been a big problem, and it can even be said that everything is ready. I owe the east wind.

The most important issue is the degree of sophistication of the banknotes and the degree of forgery identification.
