The Emperor of the Pacific Empire, Li Mengyang, mentioned a history with a group of officials at the meeting, that is, the Chanyuan Alliance, and he actually said that this was a clever means, especially the annual monies and tributes that were scolded by countless people. He actually said that this was a powerful economic means.

Is this a big deal?

"Comrades" Emperor Li Mengyang said this:

The annual monies are a year, giving the Liao Kingdom to the north a lot of gold and silver, silk, satin, etc. In fact, these things can be regarded as currency, just money. Just look at it?

By the way, because ancient silk was not worn by itself, it was actually a kind of hard currency. This thing can be used as currency, or in fact it is the main currency. It is really like this.

In ancient times, let’s talk about the Song Dynasty, copper coins were made of coins, and the coins were made of copper. However, every emperor would make money when he came to power, and every time he made money, the amount and content of copper were different.

To put it bluntly, copper coins are unstable and fluctuating greatly. Later, Cai Jing was scolded to death because the money was too damaged. In fact, Li Mengyang really had to complain about some yy's time travel historical novels, because it mainly uses money, and Guan Guan always has 1ooo copper coins. If you try it, you will be blamed if you don't feel tired!

The ancients were very smart, so they would not be so stupid to carry the money-making linguistics with them. They usually brought silk because this thing is easy to use, stable and light. In fact, it was like this before the Ming Dynasty, and it was found in junior high school history textbooks. In the Ming Dynasty, silver became the main currency. Copper was actually placed at home and put into a large jar. This is called saving money. During the Tang Dynasty, there was an emperor who had saved money and there was no copper in the market. He sent troops to dig the homes of those landlords and old money.

Of course, Li Mengyang just briefly explained these things to everyone. Anyway, these annual monies from the Song Dynasty can be completely understood as money. They are all money, and these money are all money, and these money

Well, from this perspective, the free aid proposed by Li Mengyang is indeed much stronger than the annual monies of the Song Dynasty. At least it is not humiliating. We are free of charge. Then the Song Dynasty has to pay tribute even if it doesn’t lose.

So, this is what Li Mengyang wants to say? Compare yourself to be smarter than the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?

Of course not!

What Li Mengyang wants to say is actually the other side of this annual monies

The annual monies do sound humiliating, but this thing is all hard currency circulated in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, currency!

So, when the currency of the Northern Song Dynasty was seen, what would happen when it came to Liao Kingdom?

We can imagine that, for example, after the silk thing arrived in Liao Kingdom, it was of course a good thing. The nobles of Liao Kingdom must like to use it. However, this thing is a kind of currency after all, and you can make clothes. What if the clothes are almost done?

It can only be circulated, and it will soon appear that this kind of thing, this silk, can bring a lot of interesting things!

I won’t say anything else. Can I exchange food?

Can porcelain be replaced?

There are iron tools!

The northern nomadic peoples were almost blank in handicrafts, and there were almost no other things.

So, what did this cause?

Trade!

So, the thing about the market came out, this is the market!

What happened next?

All the trades with Liao in the Northern Song Dynasty came out. Let’s take a look at how many things the Northern Song Dynasty could sell, right?

Then what can Liao Kingdom sell?

Fur, horse, some grain, some jade, or wood, there are very few left, and these commodities are almost all raw materials!

Only exporting raw materials means that there is no way to develop industry. Even handicrafts are not possible. Moreover, horses can be sold at will? That is the most favorable strategic material in the Liao Kingdom, so it cannot be sold!

So, a very natural trade surplus was formed normally!

The Northern Song Dynasty had a big surplus. In fact, whether it is official or private, the Northern Song Dynasty has gained a lot of benefits because of this situation and foreign trade. This benefit is definitely much more than the annual monies he gave every year in the Northern Song Dynasty!

It’s a very simple truth, because the money was given by the Northern Song Dynasty, but after the market operation, it would be overturned. It would be a turnaround and then continue. In order to get these benefits, didn’t the Liao Kingdom exchange everything? Is it sold everything?

The Liao Kingdom has lived a better life and comfortable life, so I rely more on this trade. The Liao Kingdom itself has no very favorable products, and it is completely competitive, so I have to rely on this annual monies.

So, in fact, the Liao Kingdom is really praying for annual monies every year, because with this thing, they can live a better life. For the Liao Kingdom, this thing is like a du product, and you can't quit if you get addicted!

The final result is also like this. Does the original army of Liao Kingdom still exist?

When Wanyan Agu started his army, what was the Liao Kingdom like? Can it still fight?

As for the Northern Song Dynasty, because of this annual monies, not only did its own domestic economy be developed, but it actually did not fight any more wars with the Liao Kingdom for so many years!

Isn't this method so clever? Isn't it powerful?

But Li Mengyang also knew very well.

"Actually, the ruler of the Northern Song Dynasty, let's talk about Zhenzong. He saw this benefit and he personally realized it. However, he did not see how much benefit this thing was. Moreover, this guy was very idiotic and felt embarrassed, and he even made trouble for himself."

"Ha ha ha ha"

What Li Mengyang said is a real thing. Zhenzong made a lot of jokes because of this matter. Of course, there are still people who are provoking it here, such as Wang Qinruo, this guy is not a big deal. So Zhenzong was going to hold a Fengshan ceremony, and offer auspiciousness everywhere, and persuade people to express their opinions. As a result, it was simply awesome.

In fact, if Zhenzong didn't do this feudal superstition and even if he really understood it, he might as well increase the annual monies, and increase them even more, then the Liao Kingdom would have been defeated by the Northern Song Dynasty in the morning!

This is actually the earliest Marshall Plan in human history, the earliest capital export, and the earliest economic war. Unfortunately, people at that time were still too stingy if they didn't use this thing well.

Of course, about this matter, not only at that time, but later generations, what Li Mengyang knew, wasn’t it that many people scolded this annual monies? Moreover, many people scolded a large organization for foreign aid, and they waived someone’s loan, or tightened their belts to help a certain brother country.

In fact, it is true that I tighten my belt, but what I got is comparable to that aid? What is it to be exempted from that loan? It’s a drop in the bucket!

But many people don’t understand, and there are many people, especially public intellectuals, who scold this. However, when they talk about the Marshall Plan and then flatter the American Empire, they don’t know that China has actually done a lot of Little Marshall Plans, and they still scold it, which is ridiculous.

Now, Li Mengyang has brought up this matter, he is thinking about it

"Comrades! What is the international currency at this time?" Li Mengyang finished talking about this history and then asked another question.

"British Pound!" answered in unison.

By the way, it’s the pound. Although the pound has declined a little now, it is still a common currency in the world!

Let’s put it this way. Before the war, the pound was much more awesome in the international market than gold. The international settlement currency was the pound, and in the field of international circulation, the pound accounted for two-thirds!

After a big war, the British pound's status was somewhat reduced, but it has not completely lost its strength and is still very strong. Although Britain has taken a lot of debts, Britain is currently the world's largest power. We have to admit that they do have a foundation.

so

"Comrades! So if we help Europe for free and rebuilding, what are we helping?"

"this"

"Your Majesty! I understand!"

"Yes!"

"Hahaha"

I understand, finally I understand!

What we aid is money, our New Tang Yuan!

The currency of our Pacific Empire, New Tang Yuan, had entered Europe before, and there were currency swaps, but the amount was small after all. Now, we can completely increase the amount of our currency through aid.

Then, this can fundamentally shake the British's position in the international financial system, and only then can it truly attack the world's largest power!

Moreover, the reason here is actually very simple. We, New Tang Yuan, have passed Europe, so Europe is now in a mess. They want to buy things. So, will you use New Tang Yuan to buy things in the UK?

Obviously, we can only come to us. The money is the most useful here. So, isn’t this the same as in the Northern Song Dynasty?

Yes, it will definitely promote the productivity exhibition of our Pacific Empire!

What a great thing, this is definitely a major policy in the near future!

So Li Mengyang made this suggestion at the People's Congress and then passed it. It is indeed not easy to understand this matter, especially in this era.

But, it's finally passed. Is this future? Then naturally, I'll wait for the benefits to do it myself.

But

"Your Majesty! No! Western Xinjiang was invaded by Russian troops!"

"What?"

A telegram was sent to Li Mengyang (to be continued.)
