The current embassy of the Song Kingdom is not only a diplomatic port, but also a trade port.

Early in the morning, there were a lot of Panda fans at the door, all of them were powerful people from the Liao Kingdom, waiting to inquire about the price in order to place an order, no one wanted to be left behind, these fun-loving guys don't like to hunt at the moment, and want to fly up first.

Even if the old man who doesn't want to fly, he wants to order a special plane to fill the façade when the ban on "hot air balloon imports" is lifted in Xiao's back today. For no other reason, in the current situation, there is not a single imported Song State hot air balloon, and they are embarrassed to say that they are the magnates of the Celestial Empire.

Later generations of small tyrants play famous cars, of course the big tyrants will not "drive a Lamborghini bat to buy vegetables every day", the circle of big tyrants has always played cruise ships, who is fucking free to talk about the limited edition of Lamborghini all day long like a nouveau riche.

So now these big men who go to Beijing, they don't want to play Gao's carriage anymore, that one is weak, they want to play Angry Panda.

In this era, the foreign trade laws were very rudimentary, and sometimes very rough, and of course there was a ban on foreign trade for the Song Kingdom, and some things were not allowed to be bought and some things were not allowed to be sold. But in fact, this is Xiao's inner sentence, he said that approval is also approval.

Lao Xiao himself also wanted this hot air balloon, so of course it was inconvenient to order that "the emperor is for use", so after getting Gao Fangping's promise that "your balloon will be sent for free after you lift the import ban", Lao Xiao went to the Liao Emperor to pull the calf, saying that the Song State could sell and transfer the hot air balloon to the Great Liao, but it could not only be exclusive to the Liao Emperor, otherwise he would not be willing to produce too few things, and he would not be willing to send craftsmen to be stationed.

In the end, the Liao Emperor was fooled by Lao Xiao, and heard that if it was exclusive to the emperor, it would not be beneficial to the unity of the elite class of the Liao State, and it would not benefit the stability of the clan and various tribes. So they had to agree to open the ban and let the elite own the hot air balloon.

So yesterday the Liao Emperor did not go to court, Lao Xiao presided over the court meeting, and just approved the import of hot air balloons, and today the door of the Song embassy was crowded.

A group of nobles waving their money shouted to place orders, and they were hoarse.

If it's not obscene, it's not Gao Fangping.

This time, Gao Fangping showed up and said, in view of the worrying form of law and order in Liao, we can accept orders but not cash, and only accept Song State banknotes, or Song State money bank bills.

These guys were dumbfounded. There is nothing wrong with the copper coins of the Song Dynasty and the hard currency of the Liao State, but the paper money has only been heard, but it is rare, I heard that it is only more sought-after in the Western Xia, and then through the trade between Yanjing and the Western Xia of the Liao State, a small amount of it flows through the territory of the Liao State, but it is basically limited to the Yanjing area where the pressure of money is greater and the sinicization is the most serious.

Paper money brought to this Shangjing for the time being no one admitted. No one has a brain, and is willing to exchange real money and beads for some colorful paper to store.

Now they are crying blind and faced with a choice.

Gao Fangping, who spoke in public, stood tall and said loudly: "The reputation of my Great Song is well-known. In the years after the Yuanyuan, the Great Song Dynasty kept its promise and never missed the contract. Come out and mix with integrity, you may wish to think like this, banknotes and bills of exchange have been running for many years, and they are becoming more and more mature. At present, the Western Xia is circulating on a large scale, which not only solves their money shortage, but also relieves the pressure of transferring and storing silver money, and has been running in the Western Xia for more than a year, and the paper money and bills of exchange have never been lost, and the Western Xia have benefited from both the royal family and the common people. And some of you have discovered that your trade interests in Yanjing are closely related to the Great Song Dynasty banknotes. Many times the Tangut people have not seen the Song knife and do not trade, there is wood? ”

There is such a situation, but everyone is still looking at Gao Fangping blankly.

Gao Fangping continued: "This is because the trading of the Tangut people and you is ultimately for profit, and in the end they still have to exchange for the materials they need from the Song Kingdom. But there is a problem that only Song money can buy Song materials. It is true that after getting gold and silver, they can also exchange them for Song banknotes from fixed channels, but some sophisticated merchants, in order not to increase their own transportation risks, transportation costs and losses of transshipment gold and silver, they basically do not accept gold and silver, and only accept banknotes that are easy to carry and easy to access. As a result, in Yanjing's trade, gold and silver are depreciating rapidly, and they have lost their previous purchasing power. For no other reason, now that there are paper money to choose from, those profiteers who receive gold and silver, although they are also money, have to bear the transportation risk and transportation loss, so they can only increase the selling price of orders traded in gold and silver to balance the cost. That's the essence. ”

"However, what if we listen to you now, and you cheat after changing the bill of exchange?" A bearded man asked.

Gao Fangping pointed at him and said, "You say it well, do I look at a brain-dead person like you?" I didn't ask you to exchange your possessions for paper, I just said that hot air balloon orders only accept banknotes and money orders. How much is the hot air balloon, you can trade with me as much as you want, it's as simple as that. Actually, you have nothing to worry about. If I will collect the money and disappear, I will disappear after receiving your real money. Right? ”

"That sounds like a good thing."

The melon-eating magnates turned their heads one after another, saying that there is no spot now anyway, and the money and goods cannot be cleared in person, and then there is the seller's market, he Gao Fangping has the final say, of course, the rare materials can only be given first, and pray that this kid will not run away with the money. The Panda, which can't be so awesome, is like going to a restaurant to eat wine, and the dishes are opened and eaten before settling the bill.

Thinking about it this way, although I couldn't place an order this time, I had to find a way to get banknotes.

There is no Song State Money Village in Shangjing, which is not in the interests of Gao Fangping or Lao Xiao's political interests. To put it bluntly, it's a little sensitive.

At present, in the entire Liao country, only the trade center Yanjing has a gray money village. The reason why it is called gray is because it depends on unspoken rules and needs. It's not legal, but Lao Xiao didn't say that he was illegal. Anyway, if you're not in Beijing, just keep your eyes open and close your eyes and pretend not to see.

The establishment of the first branch in Liao and the establishment of a semi-underground bank can be regarded as a risky move taken by Gao Fangping, the helmsman of the bank. Dare to do this because of Lao Xiao as a political ally. Otherwise, since it is not a legal thing, and the barbarians love to rob, of course, it is possible that countless money will be eaten by people and cannot interfere.

It is for these reasons that the branch Qian Zhuang deployed abroad has never been rolled out, and there are in Western Xia, and that is because there is a garrison in the Great Song Dynasty. But once something happened in Liao, the Song army could not intervene, and it would become a big problem.

I couldn't stand the temptation of interests, so I had to take this step after all, so I could only set up a gray money village in Yanjing, the place where the political atmosphere was the most relaxed and all the ghosts, snakes and gods gathered, under the protection of the unspoken political rules of Lao Xiao, a political ally.

Because of this, Gao Fangping strongly asked Liang Shicheng to strengthen the intelligence work in Liao, and he needed to control more specific developments so that he could foresee and avoid risks in advance.

The Imperial City Division of the Song State provided intelligence to Lao Xiao and exterminated several groups of horse thieves who had fought thousands of miles, it was not that Gao Fangping cared about the safety of the herdsmen of Liao, it was that the horse thieves had greatly threatened the interests of Qian Zhuang, and Qian Zhuang's team was really robbed by them, and they died.

This will definitely make Gao Fangping's operating costs rise significantly, so there is nothing new under the sun, and those horse thieves who have moved the powerful cheese must die.

It is true that there may not be Liao officials and soldiers to strangle civilians, but since ancient times, when the powerful are victimized, there will really be people who are sacrificed to the flag. The pork that was stolen from three pieces of chicken and all defects must be reported, and it was impossible to sleep without killing those horse thieves, so there was a political farce in which the spies of the two countries jointly conspired and several traitors joined forces to kill those robbers.

This is the current business situation of the only money bank in Liao.

Xiao Gao is going to the next city. Through technical barriers, these magnates in Beijing were forced to use the gray money village in Yanjing.

At present, there is no talk of interest bundling, just the establishment of a political tone, the more powerful people use Yanjing's gray money village, then even if there is no legal support for the time being, the money village will be more legitimate, which can drive more Liao merchants and small local tyrants to accept Qian Zhuang and accept Song Dao.

As a drive, the more small tyrants and businessmen accepted the Song Dao, the remaining other powerful people were not fools, and they would slowly find it more and more inconvenient to live without the Song Dao. This is called a pyramid scheme that encourages each other, drives each other, and makes progress together.

Now these guys only go to Yanjing to use it once, and they won't change it more, they will only change it for the Song knife used to order hot air balloons. But once is also the establishment of credibility, feelings come from this way, and the first step will always be taken.

The reason why people are afraid of something is because they don't understand, so after this intimate contact, it is also a process of mutual understanding, using the law of large numbers to explain, there will always be some people who are not afraid after seeing it, and use it a second time. Then with a little bit of face, more and more people will slowly accept.

The more you use it, the better it gets, and gradually you can't do without it in your daily life, so it's called addiction.

And then sooner or later one day it will be legalized.

This is also one of Gao Fangping's final missions this time, and now it seems that although Gao Fangping has done some bad things to blackmail and beat girls, the main task is to pass.

Of course, the main route is like this, but it also faces many challenges, and the stall still can't be too big for the time being. Because of the existence of threats such as enemy martyrs, Mongolians, and Jurchen tribes, the Liao State is generally unstable.

If these problems are not solved, we will not be able to spread out the money and investment in other parts of Liaoguo.

Even if Lao Xiao came to ask Gao Fangping to set up a money village in Shangjing now, Gao Fangping would not agree. Damn, if something goes out and Shangjing is attacked by horse thieves, or broken by a bone, isn't it crying blind?

So it can only be in Yanjing, which will not be the first place to cause chaos, and it is not far from the border of the Song Kingdom. If the situation really comes to an extremely bad time, of course, it can only send troops to Yanyun on the grounds that the interests of the Song State are threatened.

Therefore, if you want to invest heavily in Liao and open a large number of money houses, the prerequisite is the stability of the internal environment in Liao. This is why Gao Fangping was anxious to find a reason to send the Great Song Volunteers into the court. If you can cripple Ah Gu on the battlefield of Goryeo, then all the problems will not be a problem.

At that time, he invested in accumulating grain, and used political, financial and propaganda means to eat Yanyun, who was mostly Han Chinese. Ten to twenty later, the Great Song Dynasty volunteers entered Liao to help Liao solve the Mongolian problem in Mobei, and then there was no then, Gao Fangping would be tired at that time, and after Lao Tzu stepped down, he would not be able to control the future floods, and one generation would do one generation.

YY finished, after driving away those barbarians who didn't have Song Dao and wanted to order, I saw a rather luxurious little honor guard coming here, and I heard that it was the Goryeo Emperor Wang Mata who came to visit with a state gift. So Gao Fangping laughed and said: "Prepare a guard of honor, greet the three Korean princes with the national rites of the Song Kingdom, after seeing this fool, the old men who have been away from their hometown for half a year have basically completed their mission and can return to China with a full load." ”

Liu Zhengfu, who wanted to call it a day and return to China to receive the merits, was relieved, in terms of pretending to be forced and elegant in etiquette, no one could compare to Lao Liu, so Gao Fangping ordered him to greet him as a waiter of the Song State Rites Department and a deputy envoy to Liao, receive Wang Mata, and give Wang Mata face.

Wang Yu was very happy, like a spring breeze.

In this all with the chin to look at people, throw a steamed bun can smash the powerful Celestial Dynasty Shangjing, this time is the most face-saving since entering Liao, the most popular one, so he was a little moved, after hardships and warmth, I know what is a sense of existence, when people are hungry, a cake is also a delicacy.

Wang Yu, who ran into walls everywhere and was not treated everywhere, found that the Song people were really good and gave Goryeo warmth in the coldest time.

Of course, the henchmen know this routine, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, this is already very good, the king's happiness is important, there is no need to say it. Gao Fangping is such a strong figure, the Goryeo people didn't expect Gao Fangping to greet him in person, and if he could send Liu Zhengfu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to come over and be polite, he already regarded Goryeo as the number one person......
