Guo Dan didn't lie to them, if he put aside the general environment, he wouldn't go to any mint workshop, because he would definitely not be able to do it.

To put it bluntly, this is a comparison of who can see through the relationship between supply and demand.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Guo Dan took Weihui Mansion, he had already expected that there might be today, because after the imperial court lost the right to mint coins, this currency had to rely on overseas inflows, and a few years ago, the currency was relatively stable, because a large amount of silver taels flowed into it at that time.

However, with the rapid development of the domestic commodity economy in recent years, the currency will definitely not be enough, because the current currency is an overseas inflow, but the state issuance, the state does not have this power, then there is no increase in currency more than the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.

Then whoever can supply money will naturally be able to make a lot of money.

But then again, Guo Dan really didn't want to use this to make a lot of money, so he just guaranteed that the mint workshop was basically profitable and gave a very fair price, what he wanted was a stable market.

The bigger the market, the more he earns.

He really wants to provide a stable currency for the market to stimulate the market, looking at the state capitals of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that the coast is developed, but to see which state capital has more currency, the economy is developed, and it can be seen clearly from the flow of funds in the money bank, no currency can not develop, but the production of Weihui Mansion exploded, further making the currency become scarce.

This leads to the market is full of bad coins, and really a copper coin has to be broken and used, because there is little currency, so everyone collects bad money, which shows that prices have long been falling.

After the advent of a noto, businessmen chose to directly reduce the price, these businessmen are more shrewd than anyone else, this is not difficult to calculate, as long as everyone uses a no, the price reduction is also more cost-effective.

The root cause is the scarcity of the currency, and the currency becomes more valuable.

It's a pity that the officials don't understand this, which leads them to look at flowers in a fog and are confused.

But more amazing operations are yet to come.

Yinuoya suddenly gave the price of settling commodities with one nanocurrency, and the purchasing power of one nanocurrency for farm products is lower than that in the current market, but these commodities are almost the same as those in the market, and some are even slightly higher.

This is a self-adjustment of Yinuo Yaxing, just like other businesses.

But almost overnight, all merchants have adjusted according to the price given by Yinuo Yaxing, and the merchants have adjusted the price according to Yinuo before, but it is not unified, they are all different, it depends on the merchant's own understanding of Yinuo.

Now, prices in Nanjing have stabilized in an instant.

The old men are dumbfounded!

Are you playing a trick?

They have never seen such a terrifying ability of macroeconomic regulation and control, and if they are allowed to regulate prices, they will inevitably make a mess, and often they will not be able to solve it, and in the end they will have to rely on the market to regulate itself, which is naturally full of exploitation.

Because the court can't control it, of course it's all going to die, and this businessman is black.

They felt that Guo Dan's threat was getting bigger and bigger.

Only Wang Xijue knows that Guo Dan's regulation is beneficial to the country and the people, which is relatively speaking, the farmers' interests are increasing, before they fell together, but now the farm products have dropped less, and other commodities have dropped more, relatively speaking, the price of farm products is rising.

Of course, the biggest gainers are the big landlords who are in the process of transformation.

As soon as this transformation began, the price of farm products rose invisibly, which is really .......

Repentance!

It's really repentant!

Dry!

Who spread rumors in the first place to prevent a Nuo coin from entering Nanjing, half a year early, how much money do we have to make!

However, when they were still immersed in this magic coin, Guo Dan was already planning the next step, because this was in Guo Dan's expectation, and an important reason for him to pursue currency was to allow himself to gain the ability of macroeconomic control, and Kou Liansha would not be surprised, because Guo Dan told her a few years ago.

But another important reason for this is that he has gained control of overseas trade.

If he did not gain control of overseas trade, he would not dare to do so, and if the price was too low, more silver would inevitably pour in from overseas, and this bargain would be made on the other side.

Now he controls the overseas trade of commodities with one hand and the domestic currency with the other.

As long as this commodity goes to sea, it is another price, and how much this price is depends on Guo Dan's negotiation with the other party. However, Guo Dan went to Jiangnan this time, not only for Yinuo Qianzhuang, but also for Yinuo Grain, grain and grain, which is naturally related to food, and this is also his next move.

He had been waiting for Li Tong's arrival.

And today, Li Tong finally arrived in Nanjing.

A no-tooth line!

Guo Dan and Aunt Xu sat on the sofa, while Li Tong stood in front of a map of the South China Sea, and said: "At present, we have become the largest grain merchant in the South China Sea, and also the largest grain buyer in Luzon, Siam, and Cochin. According to Xinxing's calculations, if all imported grain is used to meet the needs of Beizhili and Liaodong Town, the cost will be about 30% lower than before. ”

Aunt Xu was surprised: "The cost of transporting from such a far place to Beizhili is so much lower?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Cao Yun is used to pull, and sea transportation is used to drift, and this ship can at least reach at least a dozen ships, can this be compared." ”

Li Tong nodded and said: "That's the case, if you can effectively avoid the risk of shipping, the cost of shipping is indeed much lower than that of shipping, because there are many unnecessary losses in the middle of transportation, and there will be no such losses in shipping." ”

Unnecessary loss is naturally worth corruption and bribery.

Guo Dan asked: "Just tell me directly, how much we can earn from these eight million taels of grain." ”

Li Channel: "If according to the general manager's plan, I will be able to earn at least four million taels." ”

Aunt Xu was shocked and said, "Earn four million taels." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he only calculated the profit from the transaction of this goods, and did not count the previous costs of shipbuilding and building docks." ”

Li Tong nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't count the previous expenses, I only counted the profits from the annual transaction, and I didn't even count our labor costs." ”

"That's... That's incredible, eight million taels, how can you earn four million taels? Aunt Xu was deeply puzzled.

Li Tong sneered: "That's all the general manager's plan." ”

Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan again.

Guo Dan explained: "That's the case, first of all, the cost of shipping is low, here we can make a profit, secondly, we don't take silver to buy, but first take my Ming goods, first occupy their entire market, exchange the goods for money, and then exchange for food, there are huge profits in this, for example, in my Ming Dynasty a ship of silk can only be ten boats of grain, but over there may be able to exchange for thirty boats of grain."

At that time, Jiangsu's grain tax will not be shipped to the capital, but directly sold to Nanjing and other big cities in exchange for currency, and then we will buy goods, and then sell the goods to the South China Sea, where to exchange for grain, and transport it to Beizhili. ”

Domestic commerce is developing rapidly, the productivity has skyrocketed, commodities are cheap, and the profits of exports, whether in exchange for grain or silver, have been multiplied.

At present, almost seventy percent of the rich people in the South China Sea, whether they wear or use, are provided by Weihui Mansion.

Aunt Xu was a little dazed when she heard this, this scale, cross-regional transaction, greatly exceeded her level, and said: "Shipping comes and goes, the cost should be higher." ”

Guo Dan didn't expect Aunt Xu to ask such a naïve question, hehe said: "Although it is shipped back and forth, but the cost is actually reduced, as I said before, Jiangsu has to transport grain to Beijing, the cost is higher than that of shipping, in addition, our goods are sold to other places, and the final price is all plus freight, this is no way, my Ming goods are unparalleled in the world, everyone wants." ”

Li Tong hurriedly said: "The general manager is right, since we started to buy grain, those Francois people have also engaged in grain trading, but they also complained to us, saying that our Ming Dynasty is finally a commodity other than imported silver, and when we say it, tears are about to flow out." At the same time, we have also controlled the iron pot trade in Foshan by using the grain trade, and the profits in this are also huge. ”

It's really not easy for Westerners, they are seriously unbalanced in trade with the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty doesn't want anything else, they want silver, and the fat house is simply the most perfect incarnation of the Ming Dynasty, he is not the One Piece, who will be the One Piece.

But the whole world wants the goods of the Ming Dynasty, and if you can't get the silver, you can't buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone is looking forward to Daming importing more other goods, and when Guo Dan began to buy grain, the entire South China Sea region was surging.

Guo Dan frowned slightly, and said: "Regarding this matter, we still have to discuss it carefully, that Francois is not good at stubble, we must not let them control the pricing power of grain, when talking about grain prices, we must be ruthless enough, if they dare to ask for a high price, we will not buy it." ”

Li Channel: "General manager, please rest assured, we have controlled the whole Luzon, if they dare to make trouble with us, we can kick them back with one kick." ”

He had been staying in Fuzhou before, and he was the master in Fuzhou, and everyone had to look at his face, including the grape man, which caused this guy to swell a little recently.

"That's not going to work."

Guo smiled lightly: "They are our big customers, and this is not a matter of life and death, but who earns more and who earns less, but how to play, I still have to think about it carefully, you go and take a rest first." ”

"Yes."

After Li Tong left, Guo Dan turned his head to look and saw Aunt Xu sitting in a daze, sweating slightly on her forehead, and said, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Aunt Xu was slightly stunned, raised her hand slightly, and stopped Guo Dan from approaching, "Don't make noise with me first, I... I want to be alone. ”

Guo Dan looked at Aunt Xu with a stunned expression, he had never seen Aunt Xu show such a depressed expression, but nothing happened just now, it was just that Li Tong was reporting on his work in recent years.

It's that simple.

He ignored Aunt Xu's pride as a woman, which also caused Aunt Xu to really can't accept this fact for a while, because she has always thought that she is well-informed, but as soon as Li Tong said that, she immediately felt that she was a frog at the bottom of the well.

Is this a transaction?

But what she didn't expect was how much money and energy the imperial merchant group had invested in it in order to control overseas trade, how many risks it had taken for it, how many political struggles, and overseas plans were all triggers.

If you can't make this money, why waste this energy.

She didn't feel the hardship of the cultivation period, she saw the happiness of the harvest period, as if in the blink of an eye, she saw the desert in front of her turn into a golden wheat field, so she couldn't bear the impact for a while.
