After all, Pei Ji is not very afraid of the banknotes themselves - this is the difference between thinkers and ordinary people. When looking at an object, they will pay more attention to the object itself and skip its "symbol of an event or a group"
Totem attributes.
In other words... Pei Ji has also thought about it and has reasons to say it.
Banknotes are so awesome, but in fact they are just that... The most important thing is how Li Er collects taxes——
What Pei Ji has observed and learned so far is that Li Er also supports banknotes when collecting taxes. Of course... Pei Ji has known about this situation a long time ago, but it has only been until recently that Pei Ji finally made various efforts or factions.
After people entered Hangzhou, or they ordered people here to collect information from passing merchants, it was gradually confirmed that Li Er indeed accepted banknotes to pay taxes.
In this way, Pei Ji felt much more relieved, because even taxes could be paid with banknotes, so the level of worry was naturally greatly reduced...
This is also one of the reasons why Pei Ji is secretly superior. It is more essential to look at the problem himself!...
But just when this matter seemed to be over, everyone was worried... because they found that there seemed to be no problem, and they would be "greeted" by Li Tang's army if they violated it, so they finally decided to just listen to it, anyway.
It’s a time when you can use it, and if your assets are converted into banknotes, just exchange them for banknotes...
Because Mr. Zheng Taishan is the oldest, he is... still a little worried.
Although the other guys are also old men, Zheng Taishan is the oldest, has the most conservative temperament, and has the strongest sense of vigilance in his heart.
Naturally, he realized that banknotes were not simple things. Although he certainly couldn't say what was wrong, he had an idea after all:
——No, no matter how safe this banknote looks, I can't take it lightly. Whatever I say... I have to investigate carefully. But no matter how I investigate, I, an old guy, can't come up with any clever ideas. In the end, after thinking about it...
…
Zheng Taishan suddenly thought of a genius idea.
etc……
Isn't this banknote just paper after all? It's just that it was printed with various patterns and patterns by the Li family, and it became money. Then what if...
If you can find some paper for printing, wouldn't you also have banknotes? But...
Thinking like this, Zheng Taishan quickly discovered a problem. Because Li Er is the co-owner of the world, he wants to issue banknotes. Of course, everyone in the world will accept them. But the problem is... The problem is that he is not Li Er, and I'm afraid it won't work if he prints it.
People understand that if they want to print their own paper money to buy something, I'm afraid it's impossible.
In this case... After thinking about it, Zheng Taishan suddenly thought of an idea.
It may be true that no one will pay attention to printing banknotes by oneself, but what if it is a chief like Dongnan Diao? Then no one will pay attention!
After all, if you think about it, you will know that the Southeast King and others are the bosses of the land, and they are as naturally authoritative as Li Er...
It will be clear at a glance what power this banknote has by then!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng Taishan suddenly felt that he was really smart. This method was so clever...
In short, Zheng Taishan quickly thought that "banknotes" are a type of item, not an item. For a person who has never seen banknotes, this is indeed a kind of awareness that requires understanding and intelligence. But...
After all, this kind of consciousness and understanding is not comprehensive or systematic, and...
Compared to thinking deeply about the question "What exactly are banknotes?", it is certainly more reasonable to test it directly.
However, after this test, a more profound problem did arise in the results...
The first person Zheng Taishan found was the King of Siam.
Siam is the largest country in the southeastern region. Needless to say, the authority of the King of Siam is naturally huge. However... As Zheng Taishan expected, the King of Siam refused this matter because
The risk is relatively high.
Of course, the King of Siam actually didn't know whether the risk of issuing banknotes was high or not, but being unable to assess the risk became a risk in itself, so... after much thought, he finally decided against it.
Zheng Taishan was speechless, what a weird reason... But thinking about it, if he sat in a certain court, he would probably behave normally, so he could only shake his head and tell himself to think of another way.
Of course this thought made me think of Luzon again.
Luzon is adjacent to Siam, and most importantly, Luzon also has a coastal city called Manila facing the north!
If banknotes can be introduced in Luzon, not only can we see the value of banknotes in the country, but we can also see the impact of banknotes on the maritime trade system...
In short, Zheng Taishan's understanding of economics cannot be said to be very profound, but... As a classical intellectual elite, Zheng Taishan at least knows one thing, and that is "it is indecent to come back without reciprocating". What did Li Er do...
If you are really worried, then follow Li Er’s example and play it yourself!
...But it is a pity that the King of Luzon also refused, for the same reason as the King of Siam.
This left Zheng Taishan very speechless, this is not possible, that is not possible, this is simply... Finally, there are several small states in the southeast, with several kings. The size of Nanzhao is not much smaller than Siam, and it is also a big state.
But the problem is that Nanzhao Kingdom... is too close to Li Tang. Although it is also a member of the big family of Southeast Diao, so to speak, China's influence on Nanzhao Kingdom is still too deep. At the same time, the most critical thing...
Li Er's forbidden army can directly march into Nanzhao from the Cangwu area on land. If Li Er is really offended, then this effort may have no effect and be directly pushed away by Li Er.
.
So Zheng Taishan understood that... he might have no choice but to go to Champa to take a look.
Because Champa is also the largest force in the southeast area in recent years, except for Siam and Nanzhao. If it doesn't work, then you can only go to Shan, Johor, Srivijaya... These are currently all
The climate is not that great, just Johor is fine. But looking for this kind of...
First of all, these small countries are still a bit small. Second, because they are not located in the north, these guys have not participated in trade much.
Since I have never participated in trade, it can be imagined that the natural atmosphere is relatively closed.
Of course, Sriwijaya is also known as "Palembang" and has its own good port. Although the location is tricky, the port quality is good and it has experience and understanding of maritime trade, but the scale is still a bit small...
Taking a comprehensive look at it, Zheng Taishan estimated that if he wanted to try out the mystery of paper money, he would have to ask the Champa Kingdom to find a solution.
