474 Economic War II
Others do not know the power of economic warfare, but Suning knows too well that what is fought in a war is economic strength, and what is fought in a war is logistics, and the strength of logistics can lay the foundation for the victory of an army, and an army without logistics is an army that cannot survive, and it is the economy that determines the strength of logistics.
The reason why the second group of blood droplets is set up, that is, this is the consideration, the amount of commercial power is too easy to get out of control, even if the other party is a very loyal blood drop agent within the blood droplet, he can't be fully trusted, so the second group of blood droplets came into being, when these things are working, only Du Ruhui and Suning plus Li Erma's three people are completely known, and the specific control is that Suning retreats to the second line and masters the second group of blood droplets, and Du Ruhui is responsible for the control of blood droplets on the surface.
The existence of the second group of blood drops is an extremely secret thing, there are only three people in the world who know the way, a total of one hundred people in the second group of blood drops, under the control of Suning, Du Ruhui is responsible for the specific operation of blood drops, responsible for the operation of commercial chariots, and Suning plays the role of arbiter, once it is found that someone is wrong, it is when the blood flowers of the second group of blood droplets are dispatched.
The existence of the second group of blood drops is not even clear to the personnel inside the blood drops, they don't even know about the existence of the second group of blood drops, and Suning does not intend to establish an organization like the second group of blood drops to deal with their own people, it is really that Suning does not have the confidence to fully grasp the original capital power of this commercial desert era, once it is out of control, the consequences are unimaginable.
They almost completely monopolized the foreign trade of the Tang Dynasty, especially the road trade outside the Saiwai. Maritime trade aside, at this time the maritime trade of the Tang Dynasty is not worth mentioning, but the trade on the road is too important, the family was originally completely controlled, but after the Western Turkic merchant group was born, because it is the official caravan of the Tang Dynasty, it is particularly trusted, and now it is almost a transit point for the export of goods and the import of foreign money in the Tang Dynasty.
Half of the wealth transferred to the Zongheng Division will basically be handed over to the treasury, and the huge amount of money made Li Er's majesty smack his tongue and make the courtiers feel strange. It's really strange that they don't know the inside story. Zhenguan was poor and white four years ago, but it has only been a few years, why haven't I heard His Majesty shouting poor in the court for a long time? This is not scientific!
Not only because of this, but what made the courtiers more concerned was that the Ministry of Civil Affairs was responsible for spending on the royal family that had not increased for some time. Is this even more unscientific? The royal family collectively opened the valley? Or do you want to set an example for the world? Of course, they don't know what to do. Compared to the taxes paid by the Western Turkic merchants. The money of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is a fart! That's not worth mentioning at all, is it?
Half of it is turned in, and half of it is kept to keep going, and it snowballs. The wealth of the Western Turkic caravan has become bigger and bigger, and a large number of generals who have participated in the Western Turkic caravan have gained huge benefits, but in order to calm the worries of His Majesty Li Er, they will take the initiative to contribute 30% of the income to the treasury every quarter when they pay dividends, so as to calm the worries of Li Er's majesty, and it is precisely because of this that the huge income of the Western Turkic caravan has been revealed.
So Suning has to pay attention, forget about other people's, those generals are fighting with Li Er's majesty, they will definitely notice this matter, they will pay attention to it, and the business giants of the blood drops don't have to worry, their families are under the monitoring of the Zongheng Division, and there are also the regulations of the Zongheng Division, but also because they are surrounded by the blood flowers of the second group of blood droplets, and they are constantly monitoring, there will be no omission, and any movement will be handed over to Suning, so that Suning can fully control the movement of the blood droplets.
The existence of the blood flower is like monitoring the East Factory of Jinyiwei, but Suning is also trying his best to prevent the blood flower from becoming a professional spy organization, and he can't let the same organization as Jinyiwei and the East Factory appear in Datang, Li Er's majesty can have his own hundred cavalry division, and nothing else is really needed, Datang can't be tossed into the appearance of Daming, so the operation of Blood Flower has always been very careful, and the reason is Suning's own worries.
The most worrying thing is the strength of other small families and private business, these commercial forces can not be restrained by the bright light, and can only be monitored secretly, and it is precisely these forces that cannot be out of control, once out of control, the harm is greater, so Suning has also made up his mind that when launching an economic war to control the foreign economy, he can only use the commercial power of blood droplets, and the power of the generals and the power of private commerce cannot be used.
And once the economy of these countries is mastered, it will be mastered for a long time in a considerable part of the decade, and after that, how to return this wartime economic model to the business model of the normal period, that is really a test of people, and Suning has no confidence to grasp it, so it has to use the power of the blood flower to monitor the blood droplets to ensure that the blood droplets will not get out of control.
The danger of economic warfare is not only in the enemy, but also in itself, compared with the real battlefield, Suning is more willing to lead the army to fight, than willing to manipulate the economic war in secret, it is too dark and difficult, if you want to bring Datang peace to that model, I really can't think of how difficult it is.
Suning is not used to this kind of thing, and the family is even less accustomed to it, their business methods are only limited to using the hoarding model to raise prices in the year of famine, and then make high profits, as for the life and death of the people, what does it matter to them? As long as they exist, they can protect themselves in troubled times, and speculative politics when they govern the world, and they can always survive, but China's business is always immature, so the business model is also immature, and the means of commercial struggle are even more immature.
Suning didn't specialize in business, but the old man's methods have seen a lot, and it is really easy to deal with these business idiots, take advantage of the advantages of the Western Turkic merchant group and build a good relationship with these tribal leaders, and then monopolize the trade with them, drive all the trade of the family out of Lu, seize their trade routes, and drive them back to their hometown, and a large part of the profits they get come from trade with foreign tribes, deceive foreigners, as long as the Western Turkic caravan lowers the price a little, It is easy to seize power over these commercial trades.
It didn't take long for more and more caravans to do business with the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty. There are all over the world, and the names of some tribes have never even been heard of by the Tang Dynasty, but they are all very strange and can speak Chinese, and the Tang merchants can communicate without barriers, and then take out their strange goods, and the Tang Dynasty in exchange for exquisite porcelain and silk and other items, so the Tang Dynasty has further expanded its own view of the world, such a vast world, there are still so many countries that have never heard of it.
The General Staff Headquarters and the Embassies of the Vertical and Horizontal Division have established a good cooperative relationship, and each time a new tribe appears. The General Staff Headquarters is about to re-expand its map. It is necessary to re-label and understand this tribe in an all-round way, to see their strength, location, and whether they are a threat to the Tang Dynasty.
For this. The General Staff Headquarters entered a rather busy period. Chief of Staff Hou Junji stayed day and night in the staff headquarters to command and co-ordinate. I have to say that although this product is a two-five boy, it is estimated that it is also because he is tied to the chariot with Li Chengqian. If Li Chengqian does not launch a rebellion, it is still unknown whether he will rebel, but for the time being, he is a qualified chief of staff, quite dedicated, and quite professional.
Li Shiji and Gao Shilian, the pair of deputy directors on the left and right, also took on a very heavy job, and they had to sort out, announce the work, and manage, and they were busy day and night, and the most important thing was that the latest information on the world could be sent from the Zongheng Division anytime and anywhere, which meant that the general staff headquarters' view of the world and the world needed to be reshaped.
This is the most devastating thing for the General Staff Headquarters, and it is also the thing that makes Hou Junji and others quite devastated, but the matter has come to this point, the General Staff Headquarters has to take on all the military affairs of this country, no matter the world, the sea or the north, they are the objects of their attention, they must not have the slightest relaxation, they are ready to plan wars anytime and anywhere, and they are running at a high speed for this purpose.
Suning also got a considerable number of books on the history and geography of the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty to the General Staff Headquarters to restore the geography of the Western Regions, coupled with the latest intelligence, the General Staff Headquarters needs to restore the current geomorphology and political situation of the Western Regions in the shortest possible time.
This is Chiguoguo's test, they can't help but accept it, they can't help but work hard, in this way, the entire staff headquarters has become the busiest one among all departments in Datang, and they have to draw maps, make sand tables, and study strategy and tactics, and the needs of the staff headquarters have risen again and again, but they are still not enough.
Compared with the busyness and chaos of the staff headquarters, the vertical and horizontal division is actually not much better, these two newly established departments are the two busiest departments in Datang, because their responsibilities are too heavy, the vertical and horizontal division is mainly external work, but this work in the past almost no one to do, so starting from scratch is the most complicated, the staff headquarters is the same, it is also the first time to establish, to undertake all the military affairs and war planning in the country is a very important responsibility, for a while and a half is really unaffordable.
However, fortunately, Suning has drawn up a more detailed charter for them, and combined with actual needs, the specific structure has been set up, operating in accordance with the regulations, each responsible for its own region, each responsible for its own work, each performing its own duties, regardless of others, and then summarized into the hands of Hou Junji, Hou Junji made the final judgment, this is the mode of operation, and therefore the staff headquarters has gradually matured, so that it can afford the responsibility of planning war.
It is not difficult to test whether this duty is well burdened, the most important thing in Datang is the enemy and the war, the things faced by the staff headquarters are still behind, and the things faced by the family are already close at hand, no, it has already happened, almost at the same moment, the major families have received reports from the tentacle family, and the news from the grassland shows that the tribes that originally had a relatively stable cooperative relationship with them announced the termination of this cooperative relationship almost at the same time, and switched to cooperating with the Western Turkic merchant group!
Now they can't continue to calm down, they feel afraid, because this matter is quite serious, compared to the matter of book burning is not a quality level at all, without the cooperation with these damn barbarians, the wealth that the family can obtain will be greatly reduced, not only can not support the huge expenses, but also unable to maintain the survival of the family, once the existing conditions are reduced, it is something they cannot accept.
Western Turkic caravans? Is that the caravan that the Zongheng Division made? A caravan trading with the Western Turks? Suning made it again...... But weren't they doing business with the Western Turks? We are doing business with the tribes of Tiele Xue Yantuo, and they have a Mao relationship with the Western Turks! Why would it interfere with our business? This is not scientific! (To be continued......)
