"The most profitable mine in Korea is the lead mine. I heard that the domestic demand for batteries has increased greatly, and there is no shortage of lead. 37zw???
The second is the copper mine, and there is no shortage of it. Iron mines are not profitable, but they are easy to mine. Many a little makes a mickle … "
"The RMB in Korea is very smooth, and there are bank branches in the main towns of Korea. The demand for RMB is increasing in Korea … "
"Our grain prices are much lower than Korea. I thought that Korea is a poor place with low grain prices. I didn't expect that the local grain prices in Korea are several times higher than in our country. No wonder this place is poor, and they can't afford to eat! "
…
Yan Fu saw a lot during the inspection. When he returned to Seoul, he could finally connect the large number of reports from various departments with the actual situation. There were still many things that Yan Fu didn't understand. For example, Yan Fu didn't understand why the grain prices in a poor place like Korea were several times higher than in China. Since they didn't earn much, they naturally couldn't afford to buy grain. Logically, the price of grain would get cheaper under this situation, not higher.
To this question, Gu Dahe, the new president of Seoul Bank and Pyongyang Bank, replied, "The grain of the Korean landlords can't be sold to Japan, and that Daejun wants the local landlords to pay according to the amount. The Korean landlords can only raise the price of grain. They are not our Min dynasty. The Min dynasty is about to abolish the agricultural tax, and the more grain they sell, the more they earn. If you raise the price, who will be willing to buy your grain??

Although this explanation was a bit too simple, the internal logic was slightly more profound, and Yan Fu understood it. He admired Gu Dahe. This guy used to be a senior manager of a bank in a province, and this time he was ordered to come to Korea. Yan Fu went out to inspect, and Gu Dahe stayed in Seoul to hand over the task. He didn't expect his view of Korea to be so deep.
"How is the social conflict in Korea?" Yan Fu asked Gu Dahe this fundamental question.
"I haven't seen private land for many years, and I don't know what the situation is like in Korea." Gu Dahe answered straightforwardly.
The Min dynasty implemented the policy of state-owned land. At the beginning of the country's founding, the equal distribution of land use rights satisfied the people's desire for land. However, in the years that followed, Vézé was not satisfied with this. The great significance of land nationalization was publicized every year. The other side of "land to the tiller" was "no land to the tiller". Vézé pointed out this problem mercilessly.
Any clear idea, after ten or twenty years of propaganda, would always leave a deep impression on everyone. At least the upper class of the Min dynasty had been very clear that land was just a means of production, and it no longer had the function of wealth as it had in the era of small farmers. Whoever dared to promote the private sale of land for profit could only wait to be beheaded by the Military Governor Wei.
Therefore, although Gu Dahe's answer made everyone feel like he was shirking responsibility, it was strangely persuasive.
? With the standards of the Min dynasty, it was indeed not easy to judge the crisis under the system of Korea.
Gu Dahe, however, did not shirk his responsibility. He continued, "Once the Koreans start using RMB, with the banking system we built, the value of their labor will finally have a stable standard to measure. As long as they have such a standard, their lives won't be too difficult. "
"Why is that?" Yuan Weiting asked hurriedly. He had never heard about the relationship between the bank and the people's livelihood. The previous person in charge of the bank never made such communication. Finally, a big shot from the capital was willing to talk about this, so Yuan Weiting would not let it go.
"With an equivalent exchange that can be used to measure labor, there will be a unified standard. In the future, the Koreans won't have to think about how to use the things in their hands for barter trade, let alone to exchange the things in their hands for wealth currencies such as gold and silver. As long as they have a way to earn RMB, they can buy almost everything they want with RMB. All the relationships have become simple, and the source of the products is no longer limited to Korea. Naturally, their lives won't be difficult, "Gu Dahe explained.
Without waiting for Yuan Weiting to say anything, Gu Dahe continued, "But according to our domestic experience, the lives of the handicraftsmen in Korea will not be easy."
When he said this, Gu Dahe's tone was a little angry. It was not that he had any opinions about the Koreans, but it reminded Gu Dahe of his own experience. As the brother-in-law of the governor of the central bank, Wang Mingshan, Gu Dahe originally had a bright future. At least, everyone and he himself thought that his future would be bright. But Gu Dahe was involved in the problem of the provincial government borrowing money from the bank. The money could not be collected, and a disaster was about to befall him. Fortunately, Wang Mingshan did not really abandon his brother-in-law. With a transfer order, Gu Dahe was sent to Korea. For the time being, there was no need to worry about the debt that could not be collected.
Gu Dahe felt that according to the training he received, the situation in the province during the Min dynasty was quite similar to the situation in Korea. The province was like a prison, stuck in their ways, and did the same thing as in the feudal era. It only expanded the scale of the original small-scale handicraft industry by many times. If it was really only the scale of a small-scale handicraft workshop, after going bankrupt, they could probably sell their labor and become a proletarian. The factory in the province invested a lot of money, and also owed a lot of debt. They could not go bankrupt even if they wanted to.
Regardless of the source of Gu Dahe's emotions, his words were still insightful. Everyone could not help but nod slightly. They were quite impressed by the analysis of the senior financial talent.
After summarizing the basic situation, Yan Fu began to express his views on his own work. "This meeting was very good. It did not solve any problems, but it let our comrades know what we are facing. At this time, I want to mention the internal democratic discussion system. Of course, this is the democracy of the Chinese, and has nothing to do with the Koreans. "
This caused a burst of laughter in the office's upper echelons. In everyone's opinion, this was nonsense. The Koreans and the Chinese had nothing in common. Birds of a feather flock together. Those who are not of the same race must have different intentions. Such a simple truth did not require much consideration.
Faced with such a relaxed response, Yan Fu looked calm. "In our office system, should we talk about democracy? There is no democracy between us and the Koreans, but is it because of this that we have to do anything to the Koreans? "
Vézé emphasized these two points in his instructions to Yan Fu. Since the possibility of the Min dynasty destroying all the other countries in the world was not high, it was necessary to start trying to establish a bottom line.
"I was born in the navy and have been to many places with the fleet. The people in those places are not without resistance against the foreign colonists. Not long ago, Korea had a fierce resistance, and one of the targets of resistance was their neighbor of thousands of years, Japan. The commander-in-chief has ordered us to seek the interests of China in Korea, so excessive taxation is not our choice. Even if we want to collect, it is the labor of Korea, "Yan Fu said seriously.
Few people in the room could understand what this meant, and those who understood did not want to say it immediately. Yan Fu finally said, "I may not fully understand the commander-in-chief's meaning, so we need to understand it through our internal discussion and learning. Therefore, in the name of the Party Secretary, I will make a request. In the future, the organizational system of the office in Korea must be established and strengthened. This is not a discussion, this is an order! "
Without waiting for others to speak, Yuan Weiting and Wang Shizhen said almost at the same time, "We will obey the organization's order!"
