In modern times, financial sanctions are, to a certain extent, the most severe
form of economic sanctions. The United States often imposes financial
sanctions on other countries, which is very unilateral.
Since World War II, the U.S. dollar successfully defeated the British pound
and became the global currency hegemon. The U.S. dollars in circulation in all
countries in the modern world are issued by the U.S. Congress (but Congress
will never have to pay back because it is impossible to pay off), and the
world’s oil settlements use U.S. dollars uniformly, so U.S. dollars have the
right to price oil. In addition, the large wealthy Americans have been
operating the capital circulation channels around the world for hundreds of
years. Through this dollar, they can almost achieve remote control of the
global economy.
When Li Zexuan launched Tang Yuan and founded Yanhuang Bank, his original
intention was to facilitate the consumption of teachers and students in
Yanhuang Academy. When this monetary system matures, he will promote it to the
entire Lantian County and then to the entire Datang, his ultimate goal is
indeed to let Tang Yuan replace copper coins and become the official currency
of Datang. Finally, with the prestige of Datang in the world today, Tang Yuan
will be promoted to all countries in the world and become the world's currency
in circulation!
In that way, Datang’s financial system will affect the world. At the same
time, some domestic inflation and economic crises can also be passed on to
other countries in the world. In this way, even if the other emperors after Li
Er are incompetent, they will at least rely on it. With a strong financial
system, there will be no situation where the poor Chongzhen at the end of the
Ming Dynasty could not even pay for the military!
Therefore, it can be said that once the financial system that Li Zexuan
envisioned is completed, the Central Plains dynasty will become more and more
profound. To put it in layman's terms, even if there are a few prodigal
emperors later, the Central Plains dynasty will not be prone to be alienated.
The danger of annihilation! Because the family has a solid foundation!
In Li Zexuan's original expectation, if a complete and even global financial
system is to be built, it is impossible to succeed without the efforts of
several generations, especially in the absence of financial talents in ancient
times. Fortunately, as soon as Tang Yuan and Yanhuang Qianzhuang appeared,
they received the full support of Li Erhe and the court. This starting point
was much higher than Li Zexuan expected!
In addition, the elites of Yanhuang Academy headed by Li Ke assisted Li Zexuan
to establish the Yanhuang money shortage and promote the Tang Yuan. The
establishment of the Tang Yuan currency system is more than a star and a half
faster than Li Zexuan initially expected!
Today, almost all of the three hundred and sixty states of the Tang Dynasty
are covered by Yanhuang Banks, and the emerging currency of Tang Yuan has been
accepted by more and more people. Not only that, with the efforts of Li Zexuan
last year, Li Er decided to establish The Department of Shipbuilding has
vigorously developed sea trade and started frequent sea trade with Southeast
Asian countries. In the course of trade, currency inconsistencies have brought
great troubles to merchants from all countries. Merchants from all countries
either exchange gold, silver and jewellery for commodities. , Either directly
bartering things, but these two settlement methods are actually inaccurate and
more inconvenient, and some disputes and friction will occur!
The emergence of Tang Yuan completely solved this trouble of business people
from all over the world, because this currency is not only convenient to
carry, but also has the credibility of the Tang court "endorsed". The land of
Tang Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. All the counties and cities of
Datang buy all kinds of commodities, and all commodities are clearly marked
and settled in Tang yuan. Both parties will not suffer. There is no need to
directly give others gold beans, gold leaves and the like as before. The kind
of settlement method is a little bit. Not precise!
Because of the contradiction of this settlement method among the people, Tang
Yuan can be said to be born at the right moment, and it was widely welcomed
when it first appeared, especially the business people!
What surprised Li Zexuan even more was that when some overseas businessmen
brought Tang Yuan back to their own country, their king found that Tang Yuan
was not only easy to carry, but also exquisitely made and extremely difficult
to forge. So he began to promote Tang Yuan in his own country. The Wangs of
small countries in the South Ocean sent people to get a large number of rare
treasures to Tang Yuan to exchange them for Tang Yuan, because compared to the
Tang Dynasty, their small countries are more prone to turmoil and power
change. When they are guilty of chaos, it is impossible for them to escape
with carts of gold and silver jewelry, right?
The exchange of treasures into Tang Yuan is not only easy to carry, but also
maintains its value. After all, it is an "endorsement" of the credibility of
the Tang court. In case they encounter a domestic rebellion and have to flee,
they can also take Tang Yuan to escape to Datang. With those Tang Yuans, they
will still be able to live and live comfortably in Datang!
Therefore, nowadays Tang Yuan is not only popular in Datang, but also widely
used in overseas trade. What's more, some small neighboring countries of
Datang directly use Tang Yuan as their domestic official currency. The
currency system based on Tang Yuan has begun to take shape!
The nine surnames of Zhaowu, who are doing business in various places in the
Datang, have long been accustomed to the existence of Tang Yuan and Yanhuang
Qianzhuang, especially the nine surnames of Hushang who are doing business in
the Tang Dynasty. They often need a lot of Tang yuan when doing business. Now
Li Zexuan Asking Yanhuang Bank to sever all business ties with the businessmen
of Kangxi and Angola is a broken arm of the businessmen of the two countries!
Although Tang Yuan cannot be exchanged at Yanhuang Bank, they can exchange
Tang Yuan from other merchants. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com But Yanhuang Bank
has not only exchange business, but also loan business!
If merchants want to expand their business scale, they need a lot of cash,
while ordinary merchants have a lot of fixed assets, but the cash may not be
much. At this time, they need to find someone to borrow money! The lending
business of Yanhuang Bank is tailor-made for these merchants!
Nowadays, the commerce of Datang is also gradually prospering. Nine-surnamed
Hu businessmen do not have an absolute advantage in Datang, especially those
businessmen represented by members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. Their
scale and strength are constantly expanding. The living space of Datang is
being compressed step by step. If Yanhuang Bank no longer lends money to
merchants in Kang and An, it will be sooner or later that they will be annexed
by local merchants of Datang!
Therefore, Li Zexuan’s “financial sanctions” are not cruel to the Hu
businessmen!
Li Ke was talented and intelligent, and soon wanted to understand the key
points in Li Zexuan’s words. He pondered for a moment and replied with a
telegraph machine: "Thank you, Mr. Ke, for his teachings and keep it in your
heart. Since they dare to be unfavorable to Qingque, Ke will surely make them
pay the price!"
After sending the telegram with Li Zexuan, Li Ke put away the telegraph, got
up and left the room, and ordered the guards outside: "Get ready, go to the
Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce!"
