Chapter 99 The Royal Family Banquet (3)
"We imagine a situation where with the development of our country's business, all businesses will soon expand naturally to neighboring countries, and our banking points and coins will slowly enter. At this time, we welcome merchants and powerful people from other countries to invest in our banks, and through share dividends, we secretly tie the key figures of other countries to our chariot of interests. In this way, our money will become more and more popular, and will become more and more valuable, and even become a hard currency that countries privately recognize.
Then, we selectively provided low-interest loans to our urgently needed business transactions to tilt their strategic materials towards us. In the long run, if we suddenly announced the change of the exchange ratio with the enemy's currency during the war between the two countries, can you imagine what that scenario would be like?" Lin Feng began his devilish deception skills again.
Without waiting for the reaction of the people present, Lin Feng continued: "That is, the other party will find that their money is worthless, and the people will crazily exchange their own money for our money. The strategic materials they need are not enough! The rulers only have one way: to impose excessive taxes on the people, but it will inevitably lead to unstable people's hearts. What does such a country mean for us after fighting with us? That is, the longer they fight, the greater their losses and the greater our winning chances!" Lin Feng raised his voice and said. Of course, Lin Feng changed some small concepts inside, but I think these people can't see through it.
There was a sudden burst of air in the room. This move was so cruel!
Lin Feng did not end and continued to add fuel to the fire: "At this time, the enemy countries who invested in our bank found that their money was lost. In order to avoid greater losses or make more money, they will definitely try their best to influence their national affairs, and our strength is stronger. The balance of the battlefield will slowly tilt towards us, and the final victory of the war is just around the corner! This method of war can be called economic war, and finally the national strength of defeating others without fighting."
"You! You..." Li Jing was stunned and looked at Lin Feng, as if he saw the thousands of demons in the Buddhist scriptures.
"It's so wise and almost demonic!" This is a definition that Li Jingsui gave to Lin Feng in his heart at this moment.
"Originally, it is completely feasible for our Tang Dynasty to build a bank with national finance. However, in order to unite more broadly, more powerful people must go into the form of shareholding. They must issue relevant laws to protect the benefits of each shareholder, so that the national interests and the people's interests can be combined into one, and the above goals can be achieved, and in the future, they can be invincible." Lin Feng quickly expressed his concerns, for fear that Li Jing would take the initiative to make the decision and let the Southern Tang officials do it alone. Then there would be only one end. Like Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty, the more they printed, the more they were printed, and the value was depreciated quickly, and the country's credit was damaged and the people were centrifuged.
Lin Feng saw Li Jing lowering his head and pondering, and continued: "Development banking is a strategic problem. We still have many tactical problems that have not been solved. For example, if we cast so many copper coins, how can we find more copper? We need to find more copper ores and copper minerals, and we need to take a boat to find minerals farther away. For example, to mint banknotes or certificates used in bank exchanges, we must invent more cutting-edge and more difficult to imitate printing technology and unique paper and ink. These need to be overcome one by one; but if we start to lay out the layout from now on and lay the foundation, we will already win at the starting line of the great powers' competition!"
"Okay, okay!" Li Jing slapped the table, stood up and said, "It is a blessing for Lin Feng to get a Tang Dynasty. This is really not a deception! It seems that I only grant you a fifth-rank official, which is really a bad treatment for you!"
"Your Majesty must not think so! Your Majesty treats me as much as a mountain, and as deep as a sea. I am ashamed of it. I am ashamed of it. When I moved into a new house today, I made a secret decision in my heart. I will repay my emperor's kindness with all my heart and devote myself to it, and I will die until I die!" Lin Feng knelt down quickly and expressed his loyalty. If he advances too quickly, his foundation will be unstable, which is equivalent to cheating on games and being struck by lightning.
"Okay, I have written it all down in my heart. Please come up with me. Today is a casual banquet, so there is no need to be too much polite!" Li Jing helped Lin Feng up with both hands. Lin Feng quickly used all his strength to squeeze out two tears that were about to fall, expressing his gratitude.
Several people sat down again, Li Jing personally brought a glass of wine to Lin Feng, and Lin Feng quickly picked it up with both hands and drank it all.
"Your Majesty, I have another idea about training troops." Lin Feng continued to play.
"My dear, please speak!" As soon as the bank was intrigued, Li Jing was a little impatient now. Li Jingsui and Li Hongji also turned around curiously and stared at Lin Feng.
"In the early years of the founding of the former Tang Dynasty, King Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty must use black armored cavalry every battle. When the war is in a stalemate, he personally led three thousand black armored cavalry to suddenly come out. Every time he hits the most critical point in the battlefield, it often becomes the turning point of the war. Thinking of the mighty and magnificent "Heiyundu" of the former Wu, I think that in addition to vigorously establishing such sharpness in our Tang army training, if we build a special force that is as moving as a tiger and as quiet as a virgin, there are not many people, but we must choose one in a thousand to penetrate the enemy's territory and gain a glimpse of the enemy's situation; we can dive thousands of miles away and kill the enemy's central army; we can kill the enemy leader in one blow, which can be twice the result with half the effort!" At this point, Lin Feng just expressed his ideas about his special forces.
"Ah, the special forces?" Li Jingsui shouted out in surprise. Li Hongji also spoke loudly. As uncles and nephews who were familiar with military affairs in the Li family, they could naturally imagine how powerful such a force could exert on the battlefield.
"There was no such example before, I wonder if it is feasible?" Li Jing said hesitantly.
"A tree that can grow like a tillage in ten circles, with feet that can be scratched and lifted and pulled. No matter how tall a tree is, it starts with a weak sapling. And so on, no matter how great an innovative thing or invention is, its starting point must be not astonishing, or even ridiculous, but as long as it is given the opportunity and time to grow, it will eventually make a splash.
As Weichen said, whether a method is effective or not can be decided by practice. From Weichen entering the Zheng Palace, Weichen led eight guards to persist in training every morning, but this is just creating the most basic physical fitness. Weichen wanted to find a mountainous area to avoid, establish a secret training base, first conduct concentrated training for a small number of people, and then gradually expand the training scope. He could even include potential generals in the army in training, and gradually spread the concept of strengthening and elite troops to the army in various places." Lin Feng said endlessly.
"This is a safe way." Li Jingsui nodded and said.
"If it is real gold, you are not afraid of fire refining. If it is facts, you are not afraid of comparison! I requested that a team of soldiers be selected from the imperial guards in the capital, and the imperial guards trained for a period of time, for example, for two months, and then let them compete with the elites in the imperial guards in actual combat, and use the results of the battle to test it. I wonder if it is possible?" Lin Feng made such a suggestion when he saw that Li Jing did not express his opinion.
"I'm sure. You can discuss the specific matter with the King of Qi." Li Jing nodded and agreed.
