Chapter 405 Convincing the Empress
The Empress was elated when Chen Yi said this.
Finally, the Empress's expression was not so serious.
Seeing this, Chen Yi planned to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and directly won it in one fell swoop.
"So, Your Majesty, it would be a pity if such a neighboring country that both sides have good feelings for does not form an alliance to become stronger together. After doing business with the Daliao Kingdom, it has a powerful ally. In the future, the Xuanluo Kingdom will attack us again. What are you afraid of?"
Seeing the empress's thoughtful expression, Chen Yi continued: "Besides, in the worst case, the Daliao Kingdom will not help us in the future. We also have other ways to contain the Daliao Kingdom, such as food and seeds."
The empress frowned when she heard this: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, the environment of the Daliao Kingdom is not suitable for growing grains, so the main grains still have to be bought from our Dawu Kingdom. In the past, they might grow them by themselves, but after doing business with us, they can easily eat better ones. Plant it?"
"If something happens at that time, we will completely cut off the business with them. Your Majesty didn't agree with it before because your Majesty knows that the Daliao Kingdom will benefit the most after the trade, right, but this is exactly what we are doing. the best way."
The empress's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't she think of it, and only thought about the benefits of the Daliao Kingdom?
Yes, on the surface, the living standards of the people of the Daliao Kingdom have improved a lot, but they also exchange things, but they use things they don't use, and most of these are animal fur and meat.
But what they exchanged was food. Once they stopped providing it, what would the Daliao Kingdom eat?
As soon as the empress thought of this, she heard what Chen Yi said later.
"Your Majesty, another reason for our weak military strength is that we have less cavalry, which is superior to many Daliao and Xuanluo countries in riding horses. But now that we are in business with Daliao, we can exchange food for war horses. Enriching the cavalry is just a matter of time." There is no need to worry about the rebellion of the Daliao Kingdom."
The Empress immediately stood up and walked back and forth in the study.
Chen Yi didn't continue talking, basically the hardware benefits of Tongshang were just a few.
As for the software, Chen Yi needs to see the empress's reaction for a while before talking about it.
After a while, the empress gradually calmed down and stared at Chen Yi: "What if the Daliao Kingdom wants seeds? It's impossible not to give them!"
Chen Yi smiled lightly, very indifferent.
"Then give it to them, and at the same time send someone over to guide them in planting. Of course, this still needs to be exchanged with war horses, not to mention how long our seeds can survive there, even if they survive, how much food can we harvest? !"
Chen Yi knew that the empress should know nothing about the dealer, so he explained further.
"Your Majesty, this crop is not easy to serve. It depends not only on the land, but also on God. Rainfall, insect damage, and other factors all affect the yield, which is why the yield varies from place to place."
The empress nodded, she probably understood this, but she was still a little hesitant.
"But we may not have enough food. What if we can't give so much? You also know that our Dawu Kingdom has a large population. Last year, there was a drought in Longxi. Didn't you manage it?"
Chen Yi said helplessly: "Your Majesty, haven't you already invented the tools for drilling wells? At that time, we will find some experts in important areas to study how to increase production. If it doesn't work, we can replace it with other things. Good luck to our Great Wu Kingdom." There are so many things!"
The empress agreed and said: "Well, that's true. I heard that we don't have a lot of things in the Daliao Kingdom. Is it true? Didn't you go to Daliao this time? Tell me about it."
Seeing that the empress was talking and talking, I had to bring the topic back.
"Your Majesty, I will explain this in detail to Your Majesty when I have an opportunity in the future. In fact, there are several benefits to trade, which I did not mention! Would you like to hear it, Your Majesty?"
Speaking of this, Chen Yi already knew about this matter, so he should be [-]% sure.
The empress became interested when she heard there were other benefits.
"The first thing is that it is not worse than the previous Imperial Capital Bank. It can increase the income of the national treasury, and it is even more powerful than the Imperial Capital Bank."
The empress leaned forward and asked with glowing eyes.
"How to say? What's the point of this?"
"There is a lot of emphasis here. Your Majesty, didn't you say that you want to build roads? Since the commercial roads cost money to build, of course they can't be wasted in vain. Tolls are required to cross the road. Of course, the most important thing is to collect carriages and trucks. cost of."
This is equivalent to a highway in another sense, which can also increase the reserves of the national treasury.
It seems that there are not many at present, but if the accumulation of sand cannot hold back, the number will definitely not be small in the future when trade and prosperity will flourish.
"In addition, we also have a limit on the number of people who can do business with the Daliao Kingdom. After all, we are doing business with other countries. We cannot damage our credit because of someone's personal behavior, so we need a guarantee."
This involves some modern concepts.
The Empress was obviously interested, and asked, "Tell me about this place."
Chen Yi nodded, thought for a while, and organized his words.
"The minister's preliminary plan is to build a new city on the border for commercial use, so that every merchant who wants to do business with the Daliao Kingdom will first pay a part of the money. We can send this money to a store in the city. Of course, it is us. Allocate locations."
"If you want a good place, you need to add a certain amount of money to get the right to choose. The rest of the shops can only be rented without the right to buy and sell. Of course, if you want to buy, the price will naturally not be low. This will screen out some of the lack of strength. Merchant."
The empress did some calculations. In this case, it seems that the cost of building a new city is not very high.
"The second part is that we need to set up an official secured transaction agency locally to manage the trade with the Liao Kingdom. The two parties can pay a certain amount to protect this trade. If something goes wrong, the government will for compensation."
The empress immediately shook her head and said in surprise: "Compensation? No, in this case, the government will be taken advantage of? The transaction between them, the goods are lost, why should the government pay compensation?"
What Chen Yi was talking about was insurance. Modern people all know the benefits of insurance. Of course, insurance companies are sure to make money without losing money.
He had to think about how to tell the empress to understand the meaning of insurance.
"Your Majesty, it's like this. The two sides agree on who will pay the cost of protecting the goods in danger. Then, if something goes wrong, the government will compensate who. It is the average price given after evaluating the goods, so that the merchants will not make money. But You won’t lose money either.”
