v4 Chapter 11： Mutual calculation

Trade is inherently profitable, and the size of the profit depends on the size of the cost and the buyer's demand.

There are many cost aspects, which are simply the cost of production technology research, the cost of production materials, labor costs, publicity costs, transportation costs, and tax costs.

Is the cost of goods sold by Datang merchants to other places high? Nature is not high, really want to say high, high in technical research, transportation is followed by insurance.

The profits earned are quite a lot, because the demand side does not have the corresponding technology, but also wants to own. In the face of such a situation, it is not a businessman who is not raising the price, but a philanthropist.

Some people have publicized that people who can afford it don’t matter. The watches produced by Datang are luxury goods. They want to buy cheap ones, but they don’t want to buy them locally. In the case that they can’t buy them in person, they will instead It is hoped that the prices of goods will gradually increase, especially the goods they already have.

Even a person who does not understand the economy and society knows that having luxury goods is a status.

If the watch bought today needs to be exchanged with one hundred sheep, the same watch will become eighty sheep tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is sixty.

The result is that this watch can't be sold, no one buys it, even if it can watch time, even if it is beautiful. But it is depreciating, it is not only the number of sheep, but also the identity and status of the owner.

The opposite is true for those who can't afford the products of Datang. They can't compare themselves with those who have money and status through their own efforts, and they hope that other people can lose money and status. Universal social individual thoughts, regardless of system, very complicated social relations, very simple social psychology.

The bad guys behind him, also looking for the latter, tell them the actual situation. They can't afford it, but they will be as picky and blaming as consumers who want to consume, accusing the Datang merchants of selling cheap things to them at an expensive price and paying them more.

They will protest, they will ask, let the Datang merchants lower the price.

It is impossible for Datang businessmen to cut prices. They must protect the interests of the wealthy and positional people who buy the products, and also maintain their own profits.

Then people who want to do damage continue to propaganda, so that people who can't afford things can accumulate emotions and prepare for the moment of eruption.

Even if the bad people are clearly defined, how powerful the military strength of Datang is, and those who know that the people who are exploited will attack the Datang people will be severely punished. They still have to do it, only to add to the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the Japanese are even worse. Silla has been cleaned up without any strength. Because of the borders, land links and sea routes are frequent. Many locals have moved to Datang. Naturally, there are also people who colonized the Tang Dynasty.

The Datang people did not colonize casually, they were not incapable, they were colonizing the past, and they were afraid of independence in the future. The military strength of Datang is still not good, mainly reflected in the short-term long-range strike capability, so it is not allowed to colonize casually.

Even colonial places can have military power, but do not allow possession of ordnance manufacturing equipment and technology.

There are colonists in Japan, and officials sent by China, even with the Japanese to govern together, painted into small areas, many Japanese have already accepted their lives, or very like the current life, feel that they cooperate with the Tang Dynasty officials, at least Stronger than before.

However, Japan is close to Datang, and the culture is well-received. It is not a barbaric degree that cannot be owned by even its own words. In the process of development, Datang traded with Japan, especially in the early years of crouching. Japan sent people to study in Datang and trades frequently.

With culture, I have thoughts. I watched the rapid growth of Datang. They also wanted to learn. They also wanted to take advantage of it. They learned to learn and found that Datang began to invade them. It was a more terrible invasion than the invasion of force.

The new intrusion mode made them initially unclear. When the people of insight discovered it, Datang’s economic and cultural invasions were basically stabilized, and those in power were corroded, and a large number of people were brainwashed.

The people of insight were unwilling to launch a lot of uprisings, and the results were all destroyed. Seeing that Japan fell into the hands of Datang every day, these people began to change themselves for the sake of revenge.

They no longer hold uprisings and do not rebel. They want to do everything they can to come to Datang, work hard, do small business, and even some women go to **.

They make money, they learn, they actually want to do is to kill Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Hao, Zhang Xiaobao ranked first. They know that Wang Hao is also very powerful, but usually refers to military command and basic teaching, and Zhang Xiaobao is the leader and planner of launching new aggression.

Some of them did things near the port. They saw with their own eyes that every time they got Zhang Xiaobao’s order, Datang Port transported grain to Japan and restricted food transportation. Japan lost a lot of money in the currency. It seems that the loss is Money, but Datang does not want Japanese money, nor does it not be completely. It is not for ordinary businessmen. They will use money to buy things back.

Every loss is necessarily the outflow of resources. The people of insight in Japan have summed up the outflow of materials, and the most infringed are the dominance of the ruling class and the national culture of the nation.

Any action that Zhang Xiaobao personally ordered will inevitably cause the Japanese people to be dissatisfied with the ruling class. At the same time, they will be more devoted to Datang, supported by the basic survival data of Datang.

What a terrible behavior, how should Zhang Xiaobao kill.

Half a year ago, several people in their organization persuaded a large local quasi-ruler in the Kobe area, set up a money house similar to Datang Qianzhuang, absorbed the local currency, and wanted to find opportunities to trade with Datang. And the currency exchange is cheaper.

When the bank was established, it received a lot of money. The most important thing is that Datang people also used the collateral to borrow a lot of money at low prices. The interest rate is very high. The interest for one month is 2%, and the year is 24%. , catch up with the moon.

However, one month later, the number of grain transportation to Datang in Japan decreased, and the largest area in the area was Kobe. At that time, it was not seen that there was any trouble.

Later, some people bought food at a high price around Kobe. Until last month, people living in Kobe had to raise the price to buy from others.

At this time, Datang's grain stopped transporting. It seems that one month later, the main wheat producing area in Datang Jiangnan will have a bumper harvest. Datang said that food is not enough.

Half a month ago, some people who ran to Kobe suddenly mortgaged the harvest of wheat after the Tang Dynasty and half a month, and borrowed money from Kobe.

I still haven't figured out what happened. Kobe's quasi-ruling family lends a lot of money to Datang. As a result, Datang has changed hands and kept buying food from Japan while trying to use Japanese money to exchange Japan's Datang. reserve.

Then... and then what, the purchasing power of the 100-dollar currency issued by Japan became 30, which is called depreciation, and it is called inflation inside.

The Datang people who borrowed before did not return the loan date, did not pay back the money, other people madly run, Kobe Bank went bankrupt.

Datang began to downgrade Japan’s currency credit rating. Fortunately, when I was waiting for someone to be smarter, I transferred the loan to the government of the country in time before the bankruptcy. The money borrowed by Datang will still be paid back.

But they just yesterday, just on the day before the maturity of the wheat mortgage, the money was paid back, including interest, and the money was one-third of the actual purchasing power when lending, that is, two-thirds were Datang earned it.

This is not finished. Today, Datang announced that the newly exported wheat will be raised by 10% in export tariffs. The reason is not to bully people. It is not to say that it wants to adjust the tone. No, it means that the Datang currency has started to inflate and its purchasing power has declined. Therefore, if Japan wants to buy something with Datang, it must be adjusted.

The problem is that your statement is based on the deflation of your previous period of time. How can you not reduce export tariffs when you are deflated?

Cooperating with you, put some of the losses in deflation on us?

All of this, everything, Zhang Xiaobao, I heard that when he saw the new breed of pigs at Si Nong Temple, if he spoke freely, Wang Hao added two sentences next to him, so it became the current situation.

Can such a person keep him? A trade, a currency, we need to think about it, in order to understand the inside of the road ignorantly, the two of them seem to know the process and the results, and the means to play it can be said to be easy to play.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xiaobao’s shots have never been so simple. Now it’s just a run on a money house, earning two-thirds of the money, and earning another 10% of grain exports.

But the person who knows him knows that he will use the measure to be connected, and this is definitely not the end of the matter. Where is this?

So what we have done before is right. Let's continue to do it, destroy it, don't beat it, don't fight it back, it's not done in the last time, Datang seems to still take advantage of it, but there is always time to do it.

*****

The people of insight in the Japanese are going on in the entanglement.

The past two days have been added to the export tax. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Hao are going to the Ministry of Industry and Research Institute today.

The weather is warm, the capital is also occasionally cold, and Jiangnan has already sent a summer.

"After a few days, the lotus of the West Lake should be opened. Beckham stayed there and they were not in a hurry to come back. Come back soon and take them to Hangzhou to play." Zhang Xiaobao remembered the travel, Xiaobei said The potato harvest is good, so the French fries are processed there. How long has it been processed, and can it be processed?

"They are willing to let them play while riding a horse, you want to go out? I heard that many people want your life." Wang Hao asked with a smile.

"There are more people who want my life. They have to have that skill. I am going out now and don't play micro-services. I am going out with big troops. I want them to die. Don't think that what happened to us in Sumatra." I don't know who is behind the scenes.

If they succeeded, I would count them as powerful. As a result, the hundreds of people failed. They also gave us an excuse to further intervene and demand compensation from the state, as well as the opportunity to cede the land for military training and stationing.

I can resist them and continue, who will do it, I will cut the land of the country, dare not give it, just kill it, but also want us to sell the goods cheaper? If we sell cheaply, the first one who opposes us is their comrades. ”

Zhang Xiaobao grinned and said.

Wang Hao followed and said: "Don't mention the troublesome thing, today the institute said to give us a surprise, see what is going on."
