The corners of Zhang Xiaobao's and Wang Juan's mouths curled up at the same time, and they became happier.
The messenger handed over the information and did not stay any longer. He lowered his head and hurriedly left. He turned into the street in front of him and disappeared without a trace.
Four pieces of paper, one foot long and one foot wide, were the information this time. There were small words on them, which showed that there was a lot of content in them.
"Let's go in and have a look. I don't know why, but I feel happy when I see Japan is unlucky. Under the premise that the world is a family, I know I shouldn't think like this, but I really can't control myself. I know very well that my thoughts are wrong, but I still want to make mistakes again and again. Evil abyss, have you heartlessly buried me?"
Zhang Xiaobao said happily. Then, he sneakily kissed Wang Juan on the lips.
Wang Juan raised her hand and rubbed her face hard. She rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Except for the Tang Empire, you are happy when any country is unlucky. A typical racist."
"No, I'm a nationalist. The Chinese people celebrate in the evening. Go to Fengzhou. There is a lot of bone marrow. Fry bone marrow for the little guys to eat. Wrap it in noodles and egg white, and roll it in oil. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Zhang Xiaobao staggered into the room.
The two of them put their heads together and read slowly, word by word, as if they were tasting a poem. They wanted to see how the businessmen would spontaneously take advantage of others. The two of them had not yet made a ruthless move. They had only built luxury stores in every area of Japan and wanted to take it slow.
But the businessmen who pursued profits took the first move.
After the Japanese compensation, it became a case of land division. From one square to another, they had to pass through the area leased by the Tang Empire. They had to be checked and show their identity cards. It was not too troublesome, but it made people feel sullen. It used to be their own land, but now they had to be checked by others.
In the Tang Empire's leased areas, there were various civil and official institutions of the Tang Empire. Some collected information on land and water, some set up weather observation stations, and most of them were shops.
Not all of the shops were owned by the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. Zhang Xiaobao only arranged for a two-story restaurant to be built at every corner of the leased territory. He did not expect to make money, but to monitor the Tang merchants.
The concession belonged to the Great Tang Imperial Court. Merchants had to pay rent and pay taxes when they went there. The restaurant calculated the merchants' income and monitored whether the merchants went to the Japanese's territory to do business.
Later on, he realized that he had worried too much. The merchants who were qualified to go to Japan were very proactive in paying taxes. They knew that the taxes they paid would be exchanged for various weapons from the Great Tang. When they were bullied or bullied outside, the Great Tang army would go over.
In addition to the restaurant, he also went to the little ones' precious candy house. Under Zhang Xiaobao's suggestion, he adopted the method of charging a low fee.
However, all the packaging of the candy and children's entertainment facilities were in the Great Tang language. Every time there was a discount, he had to tell the children who came to play that it was a reward from the Emperor of the Great Tang. Such activities were held at least three times a month. The Japanese children were also allowed to exchange things. Otherwise, they would not be able to take out so much money from the Great Tang.
Of course, the Japanese were not all fools. Some of them could see the impact of such methods on their own people. Unfortunately, all such people were excluded from the ruling class. The will of the leader was an important factor in determining the direction of a country, whether it was a dictatorship or a democracy.
The Zhang Family and the Wang Family sent these. The other part belonged to the Imperial Court, which was the lottery and medical services. The purpose of the lottery was to make money in Japan, because the currency used to buy it was Japanese money. At the same time, the currency used to exchange it for the Japanese was also Japanese money. The money earned in the process had been kept, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to make the final move. Because the lottery belonged to the Imperial Court, Zhang Xiaobao controlled it.
As for the medical services, many good doctors were sent to the Great Tang. They also brought a lot of drugs, including the newly developed drugs that the Great Tang people had not enjoyed. More interns also followed them.
There was no need to say much about the purpose. In addition to using the Japanese to test the drugs and practice, there was only the great spirit of the International Red Cross. For this spirit, whether others believed it or not, Zhang Xiaobao firmly believed in it. Wang Juan, on the other hand, snorted at Zhang Xiaobao's self-boasting statement.
All the shops in Japan became the business of the Great Tang merchants. They transported things that were not available in Japan and sold them. They only collected money from the Great Tang, and then used the Great Tang money to buy the local raw materials in Japan.
The matter seemed very clear and simple, but the exchange rate set by the Japanese ruling class was one to two. It was not one to two point eight that Xiaobei kindly reminded them of. The Japanese officials had a 40% advantage when it came to currency exchange.
The tourists from the Great Tang gave Japan more than 50,000 strings of Tang money every month. The Japanese ruling class used this money to buy parts from the Great Tang, such as steam engines. They had already obtained the technology for the first generation of steam engines, but they could not produce the parts.
But they, who did not understand the financial system, made their people suffer the pain of unreasonable currency exchange. Fengqiao Shoji, Takeshita Junichiro, and the others, who had lived in the Great Tang for many years, were all too clear about the monetary policy. But their advice was like a stone sinking into the sea. They could only cry and sigh.
Every time they met, they would drink wine. They hoped that the punishment would last forever, but they were afraid that the punishment would last forever. It could be said that they were loyal to the Great Tang and looked at each other in jest.
The tourists of the Great Tang were not in the mood to care about the sorrows of Japan. They came for a stroll, drank Japanese wine with their wives and daughters, and admired the great rivers and mountains of Japan. They also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Bodhi leaves, the blue sea, and the red clouds on the beach.
The merchants of the Great Tang began to take action. The exchange rate of one to two was the official exchange rate of Japan, but the Japanese people could not maintain it. For example, the merchants of the Great Tang put up notices and asked people to explain that they wanted to buy sea fish or river fish.
It did not matter even if they did not use the black market. The currency had a fixed position, but the price of fish was not fixed. It could be high or low. In order to be able to enter the Great Tang medical center for treatment when they were sick, to wear more beautiful clothes, to let their children play with better things, and to treat guests to the Great Tang restaurant, they needed more Great Tang currency.
Then, when the merchants of the Great Tang were buying fish, they said that they wanted to buy fish that cost 10 strings of coins. They would settle every 300 copper coins, and they would buy the cheaper and better fish.
In the end, the fishermen kept lowering the price, hoping to sell their fish and obtain the Great Tang's money to be used at the crucial time.
It was the same as the situation of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan more than a hundred years ago. However, at that time, it was the government's action. Later, private enterprises also participated. A pair of pure leather shoes were sold for dozens of cents. They were exported in order to exchange for foreign exchange, and in the past, hundreds of yuan could not buy pure leather shoes.
But at that time, the export enterprises were subsidized by the state, and the attack was on the non-export manufacturing industry and the people. Now, the situation was not much different. The problem was that the population of Japan was small now, and on average, everyone suffered a great loss.
After the clever Tang merchants made the first move, they immediately followed suit. Speaking of fish, according to the exchange rate, they should be able to buy twice as much with the same amount of money. However, after the price was lowered, the purchasing power could be five times or even more.
According to the exchange rate, one would have to pay 80 copper coins to buy a hundred catties of fish. Now, it was 16 copper coins. The fish bought for 16 copper coins was immediately processed on the spot with the secret recipe and seasoning of the Great Tang. It was 40 copper coins for a hundred catties of fish. The Japanese were allowed to use Japanese money to buy it, which was 80 copper coins.
As such, a problem arose. Under the low profit and no profit marketing methods of the Great Tang merchants, when the Japanese people saw that the Great Tang's fish was only 40 copper coins for a hundred catties of fish, why would they buy the fish caught by their own people?
The fish caught by their own people were 160 copper coins, which was 80 copper coins for the Great Tang. The Great Tang's fish was 50% cheaper, and it was processed.
Therefore, when the fishermen found that their fish could not be sold, the Great Tang merchants continued to lower the price when they bought the fish.
In the end, the merchants did not exchange the currency and directly bought and sold the fish. With the Great Tang's advanced technology and the vanity of the Japanese people, they easily broke the exchange rate set by the Japanese officials.
When the Angel's smile and the sleigh pulled by the reindeer sprinkled the gifts of winter into the hot springs of Japan, the merchants of the Great Tang began to buy crazily. They spent a lot of money and bought countless goods.
The fine leather clothes of the Bohai Commander-In-Chief's Office became the main consumables or luxury goods in Japan in winter. The Japanese people were proud to have a leather coat with the pattern of rice seedlings printed on it.
Together with the cotton-padded clothes and skincare products in other areas, a lot of money was collected.
The grass sprouted and the cherry blossoms under Mount Fuji were budding. The ruling class of Japan had to face the reality of the lack of materials in the country and began to implement shopping vouchers. At the same time, a new currency rule was formulated, that the Great Tang people could not directly use the Great Tang money to buy Japanese things.
When Zhang Xiaobao saw the last line of words, he looked up and said to Wang Juan beside him, "That's it. The merchants of our country are discussing countermeasures. The Japanese have become smarter."
"Hey!" Wang Juan squeezed out a sound from between her teeth and said, "Why are the merchants of our country so stupid? We will write back later and tell them that we agree with the new rules of the Japanese, but … "
Zhang Xiaobao continued, "But the Japanese must allow the repurchase of official currency. We can first exchange the currency with their official currency according to their requirements, and then buy their goods. We can also use their money to exchange our own money back.
Our goods will not be sold directly to their people. It must be their people who pay with our country's money. I guess the Japanese can also think of this without me saying it.
Baby, sometimes I wonder if I'm being too much of a bully. From the emergence of the international currency exchange system to its relative perfection, it took a much longer time than the industrial development. There's a lot of information in it, so if we just take it out and force them to keep up with us, they'll stumble and almost fall with every step. It's an unfair win. "
"Dear husband, you are crying for the mouse now. When the first firecracker explodes, the people who are still burning bamboo and listening to the sound are doomed to failure." Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao sighed and said, "The cat will not cry for the mouse for the time being. The cat will only cry when the last mouse in the world dies, because it has one less food. In this case, let's teach the merchants of our country and let them plunder in another way.
I hope they can grow up quickly so that I can eat the honey of our country's Turkey Province and Yemen Province. By the way, I will take you to our country's Rhine River to swim. "
