China has a long history of foreign trade, such as the famous Silk Road, which was the earliest trade route.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the state declined, and the trade routes on land were blocked, so maritime merchants began to appear.

After Zhao Guangyi destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty, the first thing he did was to open Guangzhou as a port for foreign trade and set up a city shipping department.

This was the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty's foreign trade, and to this day, the money earned from maritime trade has become an indispensable financial income of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the Great Song Dynasty now mainly summoned foreign merchants to trade, and the proportion of their own trade at sea was not large.

The sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty were actually not bad, but the trade routes were controlled by foreign merchants, and the profits would be exploited......

Shen An has long had an opinion on this, but Zhao Zhen is the emperor, and he can't implement many ideas.

"I can do it again over there."

Shen An said confidently: "There are many countries overseas, and many countries do not allow the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants to go, but only bring their own goods. It's not fair. ”

"What do you want?"

Bao Zheng is still calm.

Shen An said: "For example, Bomai, this is good, but there is no incentive. ”

The foreign trade method of the Great Song Dynasty is very simple: you deliver the goods, extract them first, and then the official valuation of the Great Song Dynasty buys them, and the matter is over, and as for the goods bought by the official, they will be sold to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, the foreign trade system after the Ming Dynasty was implemented on this basis.

This model is very profitable, but it is based on the exploitation of domestic merchants.

But Shen An's idea was to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle: "Why did they sell goods and go back to sell the goods of the Great Song Dynasty?" This meat was eaten by them, but Da Song just drank soup, which is not fair! ”

His voice was very excited, and Bao Zheng suddenly shuddered and asked, "Do you want to drive those foreign merchants away?" ”

Shen An looked at him in surprise and said, "Isn't this right? ”

Bao Zheng calmed down and said, "You are too ruthless. At the beginning, Emperor Taizong sent his inner servants to the sea to invite those merchants to trade in overseas countries, but at this moment, do you want to have a reputation? ”

"Reputation?"

Shen An said in surprise: "Bao Gong, those merchants monopolized trade, how much black money did they make?" Fame? Compared with fame, a certain wants to make more money. Not to mention the side, two million a year! ”

He stretched out two fingers, Bao Zheng slapped one off, and said, "One million ......"

At present, the three municipal companies can earn 670,000 yuan a year, and the target is set at 1 million yuan, which is relatively stable.

"It's hard."

Bao Zheng thinks it's difficult: "The three city companies have been doing it for many years, and they have already gone to get it if they have anything to make money, how do you get the difference of 300,000 yuan?" ”

"It's easy to get it!"

Shen An said lightly: "Bao Gong, as long as those businessmen stand in front of XX, 300,000 yuan, XX can get it back." ”

Bao Zheng sneered: "It's easy to say, do you think you can turn stones into gold?" ”

"Yes!"

Shen An said very firmly: "For example, seemingly simple grains of sand can be refined into glass, and can also be processed into mirrors. The mirror is delicate...... Bao Gong can really turn stones into gold. ”

"Mirrors?"

Lao Bao looks in the mirror every morning, but it is a bronze mirror.

Copper mirrors can rust, so they need to be sharpened frequently.

Grinding mirrors is a very hot profession.

"Yes, mirror."

Bao Zheng stared at him and said, "The consequences of lying ......"

"Don't dare."

Shen An raised his hand and said, "Such a big thing will not lie. ”

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, the old man should answer this matter." ”

The support of the three envoys will make Shen An's success rate higher, but there is also Zaifu.

Bao Zheng hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said, "What are you writing those things for?" ”

It's just that what appears in the Goolan Washer is not enough for the scholar to even relieve his boredom...... In a word, this thing is what inferior people write, and what inferior people like.

Shen An smiled dryly: "Write and play." ”

Bao Zheng nodded: "There are some considerable things in it, but after all, you can't get into the hall of elegance, don't indulge in it." ”

"Yes."

Although Shen An responded, he didn't care about this at all.

He was convinced that good things would be popular, whether it was poetry or poetry.

Stone has been popular for many years, so it is naturally a good thing.

……

The next day, Shen An went to the court.

"The minister dares to pack a ticket, and the annual income of the three city companies can be one million!"

Shen An didn't say anything about the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, because any crisis was a passing thing in the eyes of this group of monarchs and ministers.

The Great Song Dynasty has been safe for many years, what kind of crisis are you talking to me...... We also ripped it back then, but we were beaten into pigs' heads.

So Shen An directly stated the conditions.

On the basis of the current 700,000 guan, the annual income will reach 1 million!

300,000 more per year...... What is the concept of 300,000 guan?

Back then, the indemnity discount of the Abyss Alliance was only more than 300,000 yuan!

At the time of the Yuanyuan Alliance, these more than 300,000 yuan were nothing, and they could be earned back every year through the field. If it weren't for the ruined son of Zhenzong, the current family background of the Great Song Dynasty would still be thick.

By the time Zhao Zhen arrived, although he was thrifty, he still inherited the set left by Zhenzong, so the finances of the Great Song Dynasty became more and more difficult.

I didn't care about the compensation of more than 300,000 yuan before, but now it hurts. Moreover, after the increase of the coin, the annual compensation to the Liao people was almost doubled, and it was even more difficult.

So as soon as Shen An mentioned 300,000 guan, Zhao Zhen's eyebrows jumped.

I, the emperor, don't have any food left!

Han Qi was also moved, he glanced at Bao Zheng and said, "Young people always like to talk about it. ”

300,000 yuan, with this money, he, the prime minister, can be much calmer.

Zeng Gongliang said lightly: "The Privy Council is short of money, Bao Zheng, when will you give it?" ”

Bao Zheng frowned and said: "There is no money, but the old man's life is one, so you will take it." ”

Ouyang Xiu coughed dryly and said, "One million guan, if it can be done, whose leg do you want to break?" The old man helps you press people. ”

From Han Qi's 'opening his mouth' to Zeng Gongliang saying that he was short of money, and then to Bao Zheng saying that he had no money, there was a life...... These are all hints at Zhao Zhen.

The official family, the Great Song Dynasty is very poor, and these 300,000 guan are very important.

If others say that the annual income will increase by 300,000 yuan, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Han Qi will be able to fill his old fist.

But this is Shen An.

The famous God of Wealth in the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhao Zhen's heart was moved.

But when Ouyang Xiu asked Shen An whose leg he wanted to exchange for this great achievement, he had to cough a few times with a straight face to express his dissatisfaction.

But he was still moved.

He involuntarily began to diverge his thinking: whose leg could Shen An break with this credit?

He thought of Zhao Yunbi, and then shook his head. Then I thought of Liu Zhan, who was recuperating at home and had been stupid......

Zhao Yunbi can't do it, although Zhao Zhen doesn't like this clansman, but his face is to be scrupulous.

And Liu Zhan is not qualified enough to meet the standards.

"What if you make two million dollars a year?"

Bang!

The wat board in Han Qi's hand fell to the ground, but he didn't pick it up, but sneered: "If you can, the old man's leg will be broken for you." ”

The prime minister is willing to use his leg bones to offset Shen An's merits, and if this matter spreads, the people of Bianliang are afraid that Han Qi's brain is broken.

Shen An smiled: "Han Xiang's legs...... It's too expensive. ”

He wanted to make a bet with Han Qi, but when he saw Bao Zheng's fire-breathing eyes, he couldn't help it.

Last night he said two million yuan, Lao Bao knocked off a finger, and now he is here again, this is going to die!

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Two million guan, how did you get here?" ”

If the annual income can be increased by more than one million guan a year, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty will be eased a lot, and he, the emperor, will be able to live a relaxed life.

"Five years later."

Shen An said: "If the minister is in charge of the three major cities, after five years, the minister dares to guarantee that he can earn two million yuan!" ”

Zhao Zhen felt that this guy was spilling, plus lying and bragging.

But Shen An's expression was solemn, obviously not joking.

No one in the court dared to joke about such topics.

Zhao Zhen was moved, and asked again: "How can it be done?" ”

"The first set, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty went to the city from all over the world, and it took a lot of money to transport goods over long distances, and who knows what goods the Great Song Dynasty liked the most? If it can be investigated and purchased by the city and the company, how much will it save? ”

Saving is earning.

"The second is to go to sea. At present, more foreign merchants came to the Great Song Dynasty to trade by boat, and the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants did not go to sea enough, and a lot of money was earned by the foreign feudal people, which is not fair! ”

Zhao Zhen hesitated.

He is an emperor, and he habitually feels that he can't go back and can't be too strong externally.

He knew what Da Song's problem was, but he was afraid of it.

He knew that Fan Zhongyan's fate had his own connivance, but it was more of a crazy counterattack by those with vested interests, a counterattack that made him fear.

So he could only sit back and watch.

That's why he never mentions innovations and New Deals.

Let the New Deal die, I just want to be optimistic about the Great Song Dynasty and pass on this peace.

As for the future...... After I went, the rest was Zhao Zongshi's troubles.

At this moment, he even gloated a little, feeling that it was good to hand over the mess of the Great Song Dynasty to Zhao Zongshi.

So Shen An doesn't talk about innovation, only about means, which makes him really excited.

Don't talk about it, let's talk about it.

He said with some confusion: "I want the truth. ”

Shen An said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister is very sober at the moment. ”

I'm not talking nonsense!

Han Qi's eyes changed slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, the minister thinks you can try." ”

Try it, it's a big deal to start over, anyway, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty have a huge attraction to the foreign feudal people, and I am not afraid that Shen An will mess up the pot.

In the face of huge income, the monarchs and ministers are all tempted.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Zhuqing should go separately." ”

He actually refused?

Shen Anxin was disappointed, but not desperate.

Wait, it's not been a few years. After Zhao Zhongjun comes to power, my brother will turn this big Song Dynasty upside down!

The ministers retreated, and Shen An followed out.

Bao Zheng came over and said: "Don't be disappointed, the official family has to weigh the pros and cons." ”

The emperor has never been a creature who pats his head to make decisions, he is a faint king.

Shen An nodded, and at this time there were footsteps behind him, and he turned around to see that it was Chen Zhongheng.

"The official told you to go back."

Well, the emperor repented again.

Shen An followed back, and when he saw Zhao Zhen again, he had already changed into civilian clothes, drinking tea with a teacup in his hand.

Shen An came in to salute, but Zhao Zhen ignored him.

He drank tea with a taste, and Shen An was outside the spirit, but he looked very sincere on the outside, with a nervous look of 'I'm worried'.

He has a sense of reverence for me, and this is a good young man.

Ambitious people will never be liked by those in power, and they will be wary of anything they do.

And subordinates who respect their superiors will be rewarded.

"From the beginning of the fifth year of Jing You, civil officials above the level of Shaoqing and Shaojian went to Guangzhou to serve as governors, and they would also serve as city envoys. Subsequently, Hangzhou and Mingzhou Zhizhou also served as city envoys...... DID YOU KNOW? ”

Shen An shook his head, the Great Song Dynasty did everything to check and balance, and the complexity and containment of official positions was one of them.

Don't try to figure out the official position of Da Song thoroughly, it will make people crazy.

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "This is like a local persuasion of farmers, but the state is the city's envoy, and they want to listen to your ...... How easy is it to say? ”

Subordinates lead superiors, this thing is unreliable!

During the double monthly pass, I asked for a monthly pass.
