After scolding and temporarily extinguishing Han Dejun's idea of ​​committing suicide, Sun Chunming returned to his study room helplessly, sitting blankly and wondering what he was thinking.

Sun Yue happened to come in and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sun Chunming told the matter.

"Fuck, the ancients were really sick and could not be eaten as food. What they insisted on was more important than life."

Sun Chunming frowned and sighed: "You guys are not studying Wang Shuo anymore."

"Wang Shuo? The one who is following Feng Pants?"

"Bullshit, it's Feng Kuozi who is following Master Shuo! Oh, we have a generation gap."

"No, what does this have to do with Han Dejun?"

"There is a saying that I have always liked. He said, 'Faith cannot be eaten as food, so it is not important; cooking cannot be eaten as food, so it is not important; freedom cannot be eaten as food, so it is not important; principle cannot be eaten as food, so it is not important; we believe in the life of pigs, so we have also obtained the fate of pigs and will be eaten as food for others sooner or later'."

"Dad, now all the readers of the mother are good comrades. The mainstream trend is to be anti-dish and anti-free, and advocate faith in our party. You can easily lose your subscription when you speak like this, and it is easy to be 4o4. If you don't know, you think the author is cents."

Cross out.

We read books normally.

"Okay, okay, I understand, that is, he has principles and doesn't want to be hostile to Liao, so let's not let him touch things related to Liao."

"How is it possible? He can't get the Jinshi exam and can only follow us. You won't say anything. Even if I'm a civil servant, there are still 100,000 defenders in Luoyang City. Besides, at least the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty in the past few decades will be the mainstream of the world. What happened to him in the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with the Liao Dynasty?"

"Dad, haven't you always told me that Uncle Cao and Uncle Fang are not good enough and have no vision? The canal is about to be repaired, and your capital layout is almost the same. At that time, our business in Luoyang City will probably be more than ten times larger than now. You don't have time to keep an eye on it. Why don't Han Dejang take over? He was also Uncle Cao's nephew, and I think Uncle Cao and the others would not have any objections."

When Sun Chunming heard this, he said in a turmoil: "It's good, but he is the Regent's foundation, so he will manage our business. It's not like this to use it with a slut. I want him to be the right hand of our father-in-law."

Sun Yue smiled and said, "Who said that doing business has nothing to do with national affairs?"

"Um?"

Sun Yue grabbed the brush on the table and wrote five big words like flowing clouds and water: Shangqian Salt Introduction!

After writing, he pretended to look at his father's sudden realization and surprise expression. As a result, Sun Chunming asked in pain: "What does it mean?"

Well, ordinary history enthusiasts know that there are not many things that may be like this, so Sun Yue had to give Sun Chunming a simple popularization of science.

The Shang Dynasty salt system was initiated in the early Ming Dynasty and was a system created by Zhu Yuanzhang. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian Yuan expelled from the north of Mobei was largely due to this excellent system. In the middle and late periods, it was beaten to be a grandson, which was largely due to the collapse of this system.

To put it simply, the court contracted the military food transportation project and handed it over to merchants. No matter what method you use, the work must be completed with quality and quantity, otherwise it will be cut off your whole family. Of course, risks and benefits coexist, and the court will give them some salt as a reward.

It is true that the efficiency of merchants has been far higher than that of the court since ancient times. With this system, the loss of food transport was at least 30% lower than that of the court itself, and there were very few delays.

After getting the salt tract, these merchants usually use it as currency to exchange the soldiers for spoils, and then find ways to transport them back, which significantly increases the income of the big-headed soldiers and greatly strengthens their desire to fight, which is also a surprise.

Of course, for a strange dynasty like the Meng Dynasty, no matter how good the system is, they will be destroyed by them. Even paper money can harm them, which is cheaper than paper, let alone salt, 100,000 kilograms of salt, dare to 100 million kilograms of salt. As a result, by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, salt money was basically worth a few dollars than paper money.

By the way, I would like to complain that silver was really popular on a large scale and became the main currency in the Ming Dynasty, but it was definitely not because of the higher commodity economy. In terms of economics, even the fingernails of the Song Dynasty could not compare to the court's fingernails. The people were simply forced by various monetary policies that the court cheated on, and had to use silver (the paper money in the Ming Dynasty was even more fierce than the Yuan Dynasty. The most bizarre thing was that their copper coins were not only insufficient, but also whenever they changed the emperor, they would do new ones, and old copper coins were not allowed to be used, otherwise they would be arrested. Of course, the imperial court was so poor that it was also because of this fucking financial policy).

In contrast, the Song Dynasty court had too many consciences. From the perspective of copper coins, it was not only enough to be worth it, but it could even export large amounts of money to neighboring countries, and there was not even private minting, because the cost of Song coins was really high, and private minting was not profitable at all. Even when it was sold in the Southern Song Dynasty, the ratio of reserves within one to three was insisted at the beginning, which was much higher than that in later generations. However, Kublai Khan was too strong later, and the court could not hold it back, so it had to increase it. Then, the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed.

So in general, the credit of the Song Dynasty was still very reliable, or the basic conscience of the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty was still there and had enough restrictions on the imperial power. They did not have to worry too much that this thing would disturb the people in the world. At least they did not treat the people as human beings like the Meng Dynasty.

After explaining all this to Sun Chunming, Sun Chunming probably understood what Sun Yue meant and couldn't help but ponder: "You mean, I will take the lead in doing this?"

"Yes, Luoyang will definitely be the economic center of the entire Song Dynasty in the future. If you suggest, the merchants of the Song Dynasty will definitely support you actively, and even if you make banknotes in the future, you may have to start with you. After all, wasn't Jiaozi the first one created by a group of merchants from Sichuan and Shu?"

Sun Chunming frowned and said, "But in the end, don't you still have to be enemies with the Khitan? The commercial banknote and salt system is essentially a military supply system."
