Chapter Twenty-Four: North Korea's Door to the Ming Dynasty

Why did Americans dominate the world in later generations?

One of the key points is the US dollar banknote. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The US dollar is the world's currency and is used worldwide. This means that Americans can collect seigniorage on the world by issuing dollars.

Even if Americans are heavily indebted, they only need to engage in inflation and let the dollar depreciate to loot a round of global wealth.

Therefore, compared with war and plunder, the means of finance are obviously much more advanced.

A key point is that even Xu Huanwu, the president of the Central Bank of the Empire, only vaguely has some awareness of seigniorage, and as for Cui Mingji and Li Yuhao, they are completely impressed, let alone understood.

At best, they are only a little skeptical about the credibility of the treasure banknote.

But soon they were relieved.

This money is always going to be used here in Daming, since Daming can be used here, then do you still have to worry about credit?

As for whether the settlement should be made in treasure money or silver, they don't care. Thinking about it, they didn't expect that Da Ming's execution ability would be so strong, and he could really restore the treasure money to circulation firmly.

"It is a matter of course to borrow Daming's money, use treasure money, and use Daming Yuan, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Li Yuhao said heavily.

On the side, Cui Ming Jizai carefully read the plan, and stopped talking.

There are many other provisions in the proposal for the loan programme to assist North Korea.

In addition to the implementation of the Daming treasure banknote that His Majesty the Emperor is most concerned about, there are many places that make Cui Mingji feel uneasy. But when it comes to it alone, there is absolutely no reason to refute it.

Many of the aid programs are ordinary business activities. It's just that this kind of text is very different from the Ming documents that Cui Mingji saw before.

In Cui Mingji's impression, the official documents of the Ming Dynasty have always been obscure and difficult to understand, and sometimes the writing is brilliant, but there is a lot of nonsense. But this time, everything above the plan is the most practical and accurate thing. This means that, once signed, it can be executed with clarity and unmistakable. And this also obviously shows the will of the Ming side.

Cui Mingji kept looking at the terms above and read them silently.

The citizens of the Ming Dynasty have the right to reside, travel and engage in various occupations such as commerce, industry, culture and education, religion, etc., as well as the right to prospect and develop mineral resources, lease and retain land, throughout the territory of the DPRK; and enjoy national treatment economically.

Daming commodities in the DPRK enjoy no less than any third country and the other party's own goods, and the Ming Dynasty shall not impose any prohibition or restriction on the import of any items from the other side, as well as any items shipped by the Ming to the other side. Ming ships may sail freely in any port, place or territorial waters opened by the other side, and their persons and goods shall have the freedom to pass through the territory of the other side by the "most convenient way"; Ming ships, including warships, may, in the event of "any danger", enter "any port, place or territorial waters not open to foreign commerce or navigation".

For Cui Mingji, he couldn't find any objection to these things.

Could it be that as the suzerain, the citizens of the Ming Dynasty are still unable to do business, perform and practice in North Korea without error?

As for the commodity input of Daming, that is another matter. You must know that in order to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty, Japan has been eager for a hundred years, and for this reason, the Portuguese, the Spaniards, the British, and the Chinese smugglers have been singing and singing on the stage of East Asia in order to sell Chinese goods to Japan.

For North Korea, there is no ban on trade, and goods can be purchased smoothly. But Daming wants to sell things to North Korea, which is a good thing that everyone is looking forward to, who will refuse?

What's more, now the tariffs of North Korea are actually in the hands of Zhu Cihong.

When Zhu Cihong went on an expedition to Korea and defeated the family-friendly Korea, he reached a tariff agreement with the DPRK. In the agreement, the Ming Dynasty assisted North Korea in establishing a tariff system, rating tax rates, and presiding over customs and taxation.

Because the Chinese are selfless in the Korean tax customs, whether it is the barbarians facing Europa in the West, the Japanese in Yingzhou in the east, or even the Chinese merchants, they are all taxed according to the law, and there is absolutely no corruption.

As a result, North Korea's tariffs rose every year, and soon became a significant share of North Korea's tax revenue.

Guarding such a source of wealth, the North Koreans do not have the negative impression that outsiders imagine about the Ming people's fingers.

In the plan, one clause after another is flipped through the past.

Cui Mingji faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say that he was ugly.

In this plan, there are all kinds of details, and all the problems that will be encountered in the exchanges between the two countries are very detailed. To put it simply, the whole of Korea is open to the Ming Dynasty, the door is open, from politics to economy, from religion to culture, it is fully open to the Ming Dynasty and welcomes the Ming people.

In addition to the fact that North Korea still has a North Korean state at the moment, and its ruling party still has its own set of teams, the Ming people are still in the Ming Dynasty when they arrive in the North Korean country, not only have national treatment, but in fact, because the Ming Dynasty is strong and prosperous, it is obvious that there will be more generous super-national treatment.

It's just that Choi Ming-gil doesn't want to object to the super-national treatment of the Ming people in North Korea.

Because, that's a fait accompli.

North Korea is the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty, and since it recognizes the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, it is obvious that it has to open its arms to the suzerain, from the inside to the outside, and it is fully open.

This has been the general principle that has been established in the first place, and it has been implemented over the years. There was no obstacle for the Ming people to do business or even settle in Korea, but there were few such atmospheres, and few people had the ability to mix with the outside world.

In other words, the details of this plan are actually the unspoken rules of established facts, but no one has ever detailed these things so completely, so tirelessly described them one by one.

Cui Mingji couldn't express how much it meant to go from customary law to statutory law, but he also understood that it was indeed a good thing for Mingren.

After all, writing it in black and white is obviously something that cannot be denied and must be done in the future.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has gone around in such a big circle, but it is just for such a trivial interest, for the issuance of the million yuan treasure banknote, and for these trivial and verbose affairs, which really makes Cui Mingji a little incomprehensible.

Although I don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor gave such a generous aid loan plan in the eyes of the North Koreans, after reading it several times and asking several times, there is one thing that Lee Yuhao and Choi Mingji and others can be sure.

In addition to these, there are indeed no traps and ambushes on top of the loan contract.
