In addition to formulating an economic plan, Soshyan also announced that he would integrate the system's foreign trade and implement a series of trade promotion programs.
On the one hand, it is due to safety considerations, but on the other hand, there were trade disputes and competitions between Neisen 4 and Neisen 5 in the past, because although the export products of the two worlds are not exactly the same, their main products are primary industries.
The proportion of finished products and semi-finished parts is very high, and the main export targets of both parties are the Babak galaxy, the Lemoyne galaxy, the Lemoyne galaxy, the Chadwell galaxy and other more than ten civilizations that are relatively close to the Nessian galaxy.
The galaxy of the world.
Since the empire basically has a laissez-faire attitude towards trade, and all worlds basically adopt the "free trade" model, a large number of cross-system trade guilds have spawned. In order to control prices or trade channels, they will even break out trade wars and piracy wars.
(There are official records of naval battles involving hundreds of armed merchant ships). Originally, all trade and transport ships should have been managed by the Imperial Merchant Fleet, the oldest department. However, the long span of 10,000 years and the dynamics of the imperial territory
Changes have made this kind of management a fantasy after the Beast Wars. The number of charter merchant ships currently counted by the Empire is still the number six thousand years ago. There are a large number of "black ships" in the vast galaxy that are not registered in the Imperial Merchant Fleet.
And these non-charter merchant ships actually account for a large proportion of the empire's trade network, which makes the empire's trade often have huge gray areas - smuggling becomes difficult to control, trade competition often evolves into armed conflicts, and merchant ships can easily
Convert to pirate.
Not only did the exports of Nessun 4 and Nessun 5 go their separate ways, but the trading groups on both sides also had price wars with each other, so much so that they were manipulated by trading groups from outer systems to lower prices, and the trade profits were even lower than the average in the Storm Star Territory.
Short distance interstellar trade margins.
To this end, Soshyan proposed unprecedented reforms of trade institutions, mainly three of which -
The first is to establish the Nessen Galaxy United Trade Representative Association, which will include the entire galaxy, not just Nessen 4 and 5, but also the trade chambers and individual merchants of the newly developed colonial planets and satellites. It is also the star realm.
It is a subordinate mortal organization of the Knights Chapter, but its actual power is greater than that of the Naison System Development Planning Committee. It is not only responsible for formulating and implementing the overall trade policy of the system, implementing a unified trade policy, but also responsible for the negotiation of foreign trade agreements, and
It investigates and retaliates against unfair trade competition methods in outer galaxies, including trade wars. The management and leaders of this association are completely selected by the businessmen themselves, which is more in line with the habits of interstellar businessmen.
Second, establish a unified system import, export and immigration management department. This is quite special. It is an administrative law enforcement agency established independently by Soshyan outside the imperial system. It is also part of the Ministry of Justice. This department covers legal affairs.
It is part of the Ministry's anti-smuggling fleet, the biological priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the mortal servants of the Astartes. Because it is a member of the galaxy's armed forces, this department is also directly under the command of the Astral Knights Chapter. Its role
It is responsible for the inspection and control of imported and exported goods, preventing alien creatures from outside the system from invading the system, as well as cargo carrying deadly viruses, and conducting detailed physical and mental health surveys of immigrants.
In addition to ensuring the security of the galaxy, the establishment of this department is also part of Soshyan's influence on the Ministry of Justice. Although in principle, the law enforcement power of the Ministry of Justice should be independent of any agency, but...just like during the expedition
In that way, in order to integrate the forces around him, Soshyan had to break this convention. He could not interfere in specific affairs, but he had to concentrate the power in his own hands. Only in this way could he promote the entire huge plan smoothly.
Third, and a very critical one, increase the trade taxation department. (Customs)
It wasn't until the expedition to the Maelstrom that Soshyan realized that the empire's trade, at least at the official level, almost did not need to pay any taxes. This is why Huron caused such a big fuss when he set up a tax in the Maelstrom.
The reason for the reaction is that interstellar merchants have almost no tax burden, which allows them to quickly accumulate huge wealth. The only threats to their income are accidents, piracy and war (requisitioned ships).
However, on a private level, some planetary governors will impose import taxes, but these are often limited to one world.
Soshyan plans to establish a trade tax system throughout the Neisen system, mainly for imported merchant ships. On the one hand, it will increase revenue to support the upcoming large-scale construction, and on the other hand, it will use unilateral trade barriers to
The system's chambers of commerce and trade associations gain a competitive advantage.
Of course, other places may also increase import taxes on the merchant ships of the Nessen system, but it is difficult to exceed the scope of one world. Besides, if you are not good at writing, you are good at fighting. The empire's commercial war is never just a talk.
When it comes to the point where no one can agree, then a fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield is the ultimate way to solve the problem, even for businessmen——
Seriously speaking, Soshyan's method is a bit shady and not the right way, but now he has no time to take it slow. The threat of war is always there. It is still unknown how the Third Army will launch an attack. This is the only way.
Only in this way can the weak trading fleet of the Nessen system be developed rapidly. The unique nature of business is profit-seeking, so that simply using administrative means to encourage growth often does not work well. Only by using profits to drive them can they spontaneously grow at a rapid speed.
A large trade fleet can not only reflect economic benefits. In the event of war, these ships can be converted into transportation capabilities and can also provide a large number of skilled sailors.
And when trade develops, they can use their advantageous position to obtain high-quality and cheap raw materials and products from surrounding galaxies to feed back the industry and cities of the galaxy.
In fact, the plan and content of this part of the trade were not Soshyan's own ideas, or he just had a preliminary idea. The one who really perfected it was Syllu Clement. This Merchant Princess is the entire Naison.
The maker of the galaxy trade integration plan, she had agreed on most of the details with Soshyan before returning to the Naison Galaxy. After returning, she conducted a detailed inspection of the trade and business situation in the Naison Galaxy, and finally finalized the entire plan.
Outline.
As for why she followed Soshyan all the way here——
The reason isn't complicated, it's just that there's nothing going on anyway, so why not take a look.
And she has been in charge of the merchant family for so many years, and later assisted the expeditionary army in planning logistics and temporary war economic systems. It can be said that she is the one who knows the word economy best around Soshyan, so it is no wonder that Soshyan is like this.
