The two brothers became more and more excited as they thought about it.
Bai Yongliang was firmly opposed.
"Do you think this is pie in the sky? Without money from legitimate sources, just printing banknotes will directly destroy us!"
In ancient times, there was no word for inflation.
But you must not keep printing money. Every tael of silver has corresponding goods, just like the previous billions of silver notes, it is not printed out of thin air. Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has so many industries!
If you print banknotes like crazy and there is no corresponding physical object, the money will be worthless.
If all the money from the treasury is really transferred out, won’t the Ministry of Accounts not see the problem?
The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for national finances. Could it be that the imperial court was unable to find out the true source of the money?
This kind of thing can be done, but it must not exceed the court's bottom line.
For example, for today's matter, the Ministry of Accounts can pay for the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and can provide one billion taels of silver.
But tomorrow you print another one billion taels of silver notes and go to Dayan Bank to get the money.
A few days later, something like this was done again. Dayan Bank is not a fool and must know that it was Tongtian Chamber of Commerce that did it.
Once inflation is caused, it will cause losses to the national treasury.
If the imperial court is really pushed into a hurry and crosses the imperial court's bottom line, then the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce will definitely not have an easy time.
There must be a degree in everything, and there must be a thin line in life.
Although the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce strangled the imperial court when it came to the issue of salt, it would not be able to afford it if the imperial court was forced into a desperate situation and everything was broken.
The two brothers heard Bai Yongliang's detailed explanation and understood the ins and outs of it.
Now, looking at printing hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars privately, it won't be a big problem to go to Dayan Bank to arbitrage some money. Just find some subordinates and merchants to do these things and do it in batches.
But printing a lot of money will definitely cause trouble.
At this time, Bai Changkong said again: "Just now, Master Shangshu said that from now on, all customers of our Tongtian Chamber of Commerce can go to Dayan Bank to withdraw money."
"This is to show us goodwill and to fully cooperate with us."
"Second uncle, we can also make a lot of money from this matter."
Bai Wu also said: "When our customers go there to withdraw money, Dayan Bank will definitely ask us for the money and transfer the money there. There is a lot of water in it!"
When you deposit money at Dayan Bank, you need to pay interest to your customers.
But Tongtian Chamber of Commerce charges storage fees from customers.
There is a huge interest rate difference, and these interest rate differences can make Tongtian Chamber of Commerce make a lot of money!
Bai Yongliang is also thinking about this matter.
It seems that through today's events, Dayan Bank has shown goodwill to Tongtian Chamber of Commerce again.
Then Bai Yongliang will definitely discuss these matters with the Minister of Household Affairs and Shen Wancai.
Take the next step in collaboration.
As long as it can be fully integrated with Dayan Bank, that would be the best.
It won't be long before the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce becomes the symbol of the imperial court!
There will be a steady stream of funds entering Bai Yongliang's pocket!
In the end, all these funds will flow to Ghost Pavilion!
Fang Chen and Luo Longyu learned that everything had been resolved satisfactorily.
They are all very satisfied. The first step of the plan was finally successful.
Next is the second step of the plan.
That is to discuss salt import cooperation with the Daqian Empire.
This morning, Mr. Ye Fan, the Minister of Honglu Temple, had returned from Hainan City.
After Ye Fan came back, he immediately came to the palace and met Fang Chen and Luo Longyu.
Luo Longyu hurriedly arranged a banquet to wash away Ye Fan's dust.
There are three people at the wine table, changing glasses.
Ye Fan brought great good news.
"Your Majesty, Lord Fang, Nanhai City has started to develop three islands, summoned a large number of people, and also recruited tens of thousands of people to work on the islands to make salt."
"The local government and General Lu Yang of the Municipal Shipping Department are fully cooperating."
Everything went according to Fang Chen's plan.
Fang Chen and Luo Longyu were both excited and hurriedly toasted to Ye Fan.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ye!"
"Now that the salt problem of our Dayan Dynasty has been solved, we no longer have to rely on the Daqian Dynasty or act based on other people's faces!"
Nowadays, the Shibo Division is working hard to produce salt at an extremely fast speed. As long as there is endless sea water and a large number of people and horses, there can be as much salt as you want.
Now we can have a showdown with the people of the Daqian Dynasty.
Under normal circumstances, the Daqian Dynasty would export a large amount of salt to major empires every three months.
But in order to block the neck of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Daqian Dynasty sent a batch every month.
If Bai Yongliang and the envoys of the Daqian Dynasty are not happy, they will still negotiate conditions before they are willing to continue cooperation.
Although when it comes to the salt matter, the contract has been signed before and it is all finalized.
But the other party is a supplier and often makes unreasonable demands.
For example, what Bai Yongliang did recently was printing large-denomination banknotes.
There is also the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce that has taken away a lot of business from other chambers of commerce.
He asked Dayan Bank to pay for him, but Dayan Bank and the court could only turn a blind eye and comply with Bai Yongliang's conditions and requirements.
If the people in the court are disobedient, it will be difficult to get the salt this month.
Anyway, I just found a bunch of reasons and excuses, such as a shortage of goods, or a storm at sea, etc.
The Great Yan Dynasty has always been controlled by others, and there is no other way.
And Fang Chen will solve the current situation this time.
Because Fang Chen was powerless and had lost everything, he was not qualified to come forward or go to the pilgrimage.
So this matter was left to the second prince Luo Longyu.
Because Luo Ningxin asked Fang Chen to contact Luo Longyu and investigate secretly, Fang Chen came up with a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.
He gave all rights and honors to Luo Longyu.
And Luo Longyu was also very satisfied.
The three people discussed in secret and decided everything.
It’s time to take full action!
…
In recent days, Bai Yongliang has been doing well.
There is a meal every night.
The presidents of major chambers of commerce invited him for drinks.
Big bosses from all over the world came to him to discuss business.
Even some bosses from other cities come here because of its reputation.
Send a big gift to Bai Yongliang and ask for cooperation.
A large amount of funds flowed into the hands of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Bai Yongliang, Bai Changkong, and Bai Wu would laugh out of their dreams.
The Bai family once lost everything, and they got it all back.
Bai Yongliang also inherited the hereditary title and became a marquis.
After becoming a marquis, you can make pilgrimages at any time or follow you to the court.
Of course, Bai Yongliang's appetite doesn't stop there.
Once Fang Chen's position as commander of the Jinyi Guards was also in Bai Yongliang's pocket.
But he was not in a hurry, he wanted to get it step by step anyway.
Half a month passed quickly.
There was no news from Fang Chen.
Bai Yongliang didn't care about this person who lost his authority and everything.
No matter what Fang Chen is doing behind the scenes, it is not worth mentioning to the current Bai family.
Bai Yongliang expected that Fang Chen would not be able to do anything big.
Furthermore, with the Ghost Pavilion planning and handling matters behind Fang Chen, there is no need for Bai Yongliang to worry about it.
Bai Yongliang has only one purpose, and that is to make crazy money, and give most of the money he earns to Ghost Pavilion.
…
Morning.
Luo Ningxin was discussing the affairs of the DPRK with the ministers as usual.
After the matter was discussed, Bai Yongliang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
