Chapter 226: The Economy and Making Money

Compared with this era, for the vast majority of people, Zhao Xin is very rich, although part of the Baozhou Mutiny was consumed, but under the strong foundation before, Zhao Xin left Baozhou with tens of thousands.

After staying in the Daimyo's Mansion for 10 days, he not only smoothed out the business environment of the Daimyo's Mansion, but also auctioned 4 magic weapons, plus steamed buns, soap, etc., which had just been rolled out, and when he finally left, he took away 20,000 yuan.

Combined, the two are almost 80,000 guan, which is even more than the 50,000 guan provided by the central center for a given naval establishment.

You must know that what the center gave was half of the copper coins and half of the handover, and what he had in his hands was real copper coins.

On the surface, Jiaozi is the same as copper coins, but in fact, in terms of purchasing power, copper coins are larger, and in some places, even seven or eight hundred Wen is regarded as consistent, and Jiaozi is not only not consistent, but also discounted, almost 1000 copper coins, which is almost equal to 2 Jiaozi.

Perhaps in the future, after stabilizing the Dinghai Navy and establishing a huge market and economy for the Navy, Zhao Xin will consider establishing a bank and replacing copper money with credit currency.

Those who have studied economics, or even those who have not studied economics, who have simply survived the consulting life of the 21st century, are bombarded with similar bombardments every day.

For example, inflation, deflation, monetary inflation, monetary tightening, the economy is a dynamic, constantly developing thing, no matter what kind of political system, stubbornly according to a running rhythm, running for a period of time, the kind of inertia and loopholes generated by the economy itself will gradually accumulate, and in the end, cause huge consequences.

Although there was no overall economic research in the Northern Song Dynasty, later generations, according to historical data and some data, the economic assessment of the Northern Song Dynasty was that there was a shortage of money.

The total economic volume is very high, the annual GDP of the Northern Song Dynasty may be as high as 1 billion, but the money circulating in the market, that is, about 300 million, this is already the limit of the edge, you must know that the coinage of the Northern Song Dynasty is 15 times that of the Tang Dynasty and dozens of times that of the Ming Dynasty, but it still can't support such a huge plate.

The Northern Song Dynasty itself was economically developed, and the places where there was a shortage of money, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan, were all places with prosperous commerce and relatively rich society, or coastal areas.

There is a local chronicle that records that overnight, in the small city, there is no more money to use, it turns out that just a few days ago, Japanese merchants came, not only brought a lot of goods, but also took away all the circulating currency in the small city.

The currency of the Song Dynasty influenced the surrounding areas, and even the records of history have used the coins of the Song Dynasty throughout East Asia, and Japan is no exception, and it is even said that after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, when the currency of the entire Song Dynasty was abolished, a large number of them were exported to Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and other places, almost supporting their commercial system.

Before the discovery of world-class copper mines, money shortage is indispensable, and even Jiaozi is also a good way to solve the problem, but it is necessary to achieve a certain amount of credit, and use precious metals to maintain and recycle, otherwise, once a large-scale depreciation, for any government, it is a disaster.

Banks, the huge role in the economic and political fields, Zhao Xin will definitely do in the future, gather sand into a tower, it is easy to do something, and through the regulation and control of leverage, stabilize the economy, and produce favorable consequences.

But that's a later story, at this time, the navy is poor, and even if Zhao Xin establishes a bank, how much money can he save besides himself.

Counting the money in his hand, although tens of thousands of guan have been accumulated from the daimyo's mansion and before, but these money are really unused, after discussing with Cheng Qian, half of it is used to help the victims, this is still in the case of government relief, if he gets people over, it will not be 1000 guan a day.

On average, the number of 3 wen a day for each victim can only ensure that people do not starve to death and want to work, which is simply impossible, and there may be a serious illness.

Historically, why do those large-scale projects cost people and money, the Great Wall, the Imperial Palace, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are all work, if you eat well, you will only grow your body, how can you die, even if you are dead, it will not be large-scale, large-scale dead people, large-scale projects, and occasionally accidents, even if it is the era of advanced science and technology in later generations, it cannot be avoided, let alone in ancient times.

But this large-scale project, is a large area of dead people, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, recruited more than 2 million people, this is hard labor, to eat is good, although the creation of the glorious Great Wall, has become a cultural mark in Chinese history, but behind this brilliance, is a lot of white bones.

Almost all historical records show that every large-scale project represents death, Lishan, the imperial tomb, the canal, these magnificent projects that the ancient people determined to conquer the sky, which one does not carry a lot of white bones.

In comparison, it is a modern and efficient construction, a floor in 3 days, a few years, a modern city, and even the Great Hall of the People was completed in only ten months, such a project, maybe one or two, not as big as in ancient times, but the speed is fast, which is not ten or twenty years of construction.

The use of tools is only one of the aspects, the real reason is in the treatment, some elite troops, their training intensity, even greater than these heavy physical work, but there is no large-scale death, the reason is very simple, the army's food standards are good, with long-term training and food, trained elite soldiers.

When a person can't even eat enough, and does heavy physical work, under the premise of excessive consumption, he will not die.

People are different, some standards in later generations, saying how many calories people consume every day, the average person is more than 2,000, and if you eat too much, you will gain weight.

In later sports, most of them came from similar families, or they entered the professional sports team early, otherwise, just the food alone would make ordinary families unable to afford it.

The average person consumes 2,000 calories of food a day, and they have to worry about losing weight, for fear of eating more, but for athletes, which one is not five or six thousand, seven or eight thousand a day, eat less, and directly consume muscle, not only affects performance, but even in extreme cases, it will be fatal.

I see some athletes, what can't eat high-calorie and high-fat things, in the NBA, there are no taboos, just eat, because a season, 81 games plus the playoffs, the terrible amount of exercise, will make all the calories consumed, watching the finals and the beginning of the season, the stars are basically losing weight, no way, the long season, the consumption is too great, and in the end, it is inevitable to embark on the road of consuming muscle.

Zhao Xin will not be an unscrupulous leader, the construction of Dinghai City in the future is very large, there are some tools and cement lime like this, to help reduce the labor intensity of workers, there is still a lot of heavy physical labor every day, unscrupulous squeezing, can not produce much benefit, but will affect the construction of the city, in case of rebellion, these people are oppressed by the rebellion, not to mention that the progress of the project will be affected, even if it is his personal safety, there is no way to be guaranteed.

This is what he does not want to see, coupled with equal pay for equal work, to prevent regional discrimination and contradictions, Zhao Xin is ready to set the wage standard at a level, at most according to the proficiency and the difficulty of the type of work, different.

This difference is not a black-box operation, the qualifications are above, there are standards, there are certificates, and they are placed on the surface, this kind of fairness can effectively solve the contradictions, people can do it, do a good job, and get a higher salary, which is recognized by everyone, you want to take so much, work hard yourself, do it, you can do it.

Originally, there may only be 15-300,000 people in the initial stage, and it will not increase to 500,000 until a year, or even two years later, but now there are 300,000 to 600,000 more disaster victims, as well as shipbuilding and other craftsmen who promised in advance, it can be said unceremoniously that within a year, 1 million will go.

1 million people, even if there is one-fifth of the strong labor, is 200,000, 100 Wen a day, 200,000, 20,000 a day, 7 million a year, this is a huge number, so much that the center of the Great Song Dynasty will tremble.

You must know that the average annual income of the Northern Song Dynasty is about 20 million yuan, and in the future, it will only be 1 million yuan, and the annual salary payment will account for one-third of the financial income of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, which is really a lot.

500,000 and 1 million, it seems that the difference is only doubled, for the snowball-like city, the starting point is absolutely different, industrial production, 500,000 people to create benefits and 1 million people are completely different, the order of magnitude rise, will bring a larger local market, will also make the overall output rise.

Perhaps, when the productivity reaches a certain level, there will be a ceiling, the productivity is high enough to touch the ceiling, 500,000 is no different from 1 million, it is all overflow, but now, backed by the huge market of the Northern Song Dynasty, in a considerable period of time, basically, it is unlikely that something will touch the ceiling.

For Zhao Xin, the problem arises, 500,000 and 1 million, or even 350,000 in the early stage, and now it has increased to nearly 200,000 all of a sudden, for the financial pressure, but it is very huge, in the case of not being able to give up this huge temptation, under the premise of having the heart to swallow the elephant, he must make money, is trying to make money by all means.

Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, on the basis of being poor and white, if you want to build a city of miracles, you should go all out from the very beginning.

Along the way, even to get on the boat, Zhao Xin was thinking about such a thing in his mind, and if it wasn't even for Sun Ji to take him, he almost couldn't even get on the boat, but in such a meditation, he really came up with a few ways to make money.
