Chapter 952 The Carrier Pigeon Is Late
"Lijiazhuang has built many warehouses, and the kerosene lamps and thermos bottles are selling well."
"Last year, there was a heavy snowfall, which collapsed many houses. The imperial guards were dispatched, and Lijiazhuang was responsible for the logistics."
"A post station is being built every ten miles, and it will probably arrive here soon."
"Everyone is raising insects now, bean worms, called bean moths, not to be confused with frost moths."
"There are 30,000 recruits in Taibai Mountain, and I heard that they are quite capable."
"All the escapees who come to Jingzhao Prefecture will be given their place of origin in Jingzhao Prefecture."
"The Yellow River Hukou Waterfall is accessible by land."
"Many more surrendered households have come, and they were arranged by Li Dongzhu."
"When we come out, Lijiazhuang will continue to collect tea, and we should collect mugwort in a few days."
"At night, there are lights all over Chang'an City and the surrounding populated areas, and Lijiazhuang pays for it."
"We brought a lot of newspapers here, and if Mr. Zhang wants to read them, we will bring them to you."
The two of them talked back and forth, talking about what happened when they came out, and they didn't know what happened afterwards.
Zhang Jiuling listened, and imagined what the two people said in his mind.
"What about Li Yi?" Zhang Jiuling wanted to know what Li Yi had done.
"Are you talking about Li Dongzhu? Li Dongzhu didn't do anything, and ordinary people can't enter the Li family's manor."
"I know a little bit, Li Dongzhu sold many horses to the court, and then dug wells further north, crossing the desert."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's true."
"Li Dongzhu sent the 220 people who passed the imperial examination last year to various villages in Jingzhao Prefecture."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's true."
"Li Dongzhu found many people to process things."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's true."
The people of the Liang family said, and the people of the Tong family echoed.
Zhang Jiuling asked some more questions and asked the steward to send the two away.
"I really want to go back and see. Jingzhao Prefecture with Li Yi is different every year, no, it's different every month."
Zhang Jiuling knew the situation and sighed. He also wanted to see Jingzhao Prefecture become different every day and the people live better and better.
It's a pity that he can't go back now, even if Yao Chong and Lu Huaishen are gone.
It was because of these two people that he resigned from his post, and the two people lost their positions as he wished.
Now he wants to go back, which is not difficult.
But he can't leave. Who will be the Maritime Customs Envoy?
Seeing the large amount of goods traded every day, each transaction is not a small amount.
In a few days, as Wei Yuefeng said, more ships will arrive.
A month's tax will not be 100,000 strings? At the end of the year, the Guangzhou Maritime Customs alone is 1 million strings.
1 million strings can allow the Tang Dynasty to fight a big war with sufficient logistics.
"I have to stay until the court sends someone to teach the successor, and then I can leave."
Zhang Jiuling was afraid that if he left, the person who replaced him would not be dedicated, and he was even more worried that the other party would accept bribes.
As he was thinking, the housekeeper came in again: "Owner, someone from Li's farm came, the pigeon breeder, brought 80 pigeons and other things."
"Please come in." Zhang Jiuling stood up and wanted to greet him in person.
He was not picking up people, but pigeons.
Previously, I thought that Li Yi would send the pigeons to the border, but I didn't expect that he would send them to Guangzhou.
The pigeon breeder became important, and the pigeons were used to him and obeyed his instructions.
The pigeons could not be released, and could only stay in the pigeon house all the time. Once released, they would run away.
If someone else raised them, the pigeons would not be familiar with them and there would be problems.
When he walked to the gate of the Maritime Customs, the pigeon breeder and others had just arrived.
"Mr. Zhang." The other party clasped their fists together in tacit understanding.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Jiuling looked at the pigeon cage.
The pigeons also looked around curiously, making cooing sounds.
"Quick, go and build a new pigeon house. Guangzhou is humid, and the pigeons are not used to it for the first time. I want to fatten them up. Go get some pigeon food."
Zhang Jiuling smiled. The pigeons were good. They did not become thinner due to the long journey.
This showed that the pigeon breeder who came here took good care of them on the way. The person found by Li's manor was indeed extraordinary.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am Wang Fangzheng, a farmer of Lijiazhuangzi. This is Pang Xin, a pigeon breeder."
The leader of the team came forward and introduced himself and the pigeon breeder.
No need to introduce others, the team is led by him.
"Okay, come in quickly." Zhang Jiuling paid enough attention to it.
The people sent out from Lijiazhuangzi are not ordinary. They can be county magistrates in any county.
A lot of things were moved in, and Zhang Jiuling's steward also brought pigeon food.
Boxes, each with different things.
Pang Xin ignored others and went to grab things from the boxes to look at, smell, and eat.
Zhang Jiuling looked at it with a satisfied look. This is a pigeon breeder.
Wang Fangzheng followed Zhang Jiuling in, and the others counted things outside.
"How is Chang'an now?" Zhang Jiuling sat directly on the chair opposite Wang Fangzheng, with a coffee table in the middle.
He asked eagerly before he was given water.
"To reply Mr. Zhang, everything is fine. This time, I came with 200,000 exchange coupons of various denominations.
The owner overdrew the money for the bicycle in advance, which is not considered over-issuance. It is used for trade circulation in Guangzhou Maritime Customs.
The money belongs to Li's manor, and during the circulation process, it is used to redeem tax goods."
Wang Fangzheng first talked about the money. In fact, over-issuance is fine.
The over-issued exchange coupons are used to buy things, and this thing is collateral.
As long as this thing is not misappropriated, even if the other party comes with money to buy other things, the value of this thing is still there.
If the court operates in this way, plus the tariff of 10% of the tax, every ten trades will earn back the over-issued collateral.
Then there will be more tradable currency equivalent to the over-issued currency.
In other words, as long as the supplier of foreign goods recognizes the exchange voucher, the exchange voucher will not be over-issued.
Every time the paper money is printed, it can buy equivalent things.
If the profit of buying things and selling them in the Tang Dynasty is counted, the over-issued currency will actually increase in value.
This is the advantage of a country's currency becoming an international currency, which is very unreasonable capital plunder.
Li Yi is now using the Guangzhou Maritime Customs to try it out. UU reads books ｗwｗ.uukanshu． net Say he over-issued, he is overdrawn.
But overdraft is reflected when the currency is issued. After buying other people's things and paying tariffs, the degree of overdraft will change accordingly.
The role of tariffs is to turn their over-issued currency into the base currency, which requires a circulation process.
The higher the tariff, the faster the return of the base currency will be when the value of foreign goods remains unchanged.
When the tax rate multiplied by the number of times equals the over-issued currency, the credit currency attribute of the over-issued currency becomes the base currency.
The Tang Dynasty currency is stable, and other countries bear the losses in this transaction process.
This is why the currency of the country on the other side of the earth depreciated less at that time.
They are international currencies, and they have this advantage by nature.
In theory, the currency of that country should not depreciate. The reason for the depreciation is that its domestic consumption demand is greater than the total amount of currency issued.
