Zhu Youxiao had ideas about the neighboring countries.
Because you are using my money, your country's economy is in my hands, which is more powerful than the dollar hegemony in later generations.
As long as I over-issue, you all have to follow suit. I print money and flood the market, and all this money goes to your country to buy things.
North Korea was Zhu Youxiao's first target, and the same was true to the south.
When we fight further south, we must also make them use Ming Dynasty money.
Japan's silver mines could provide the Ming Dynasty with a steady stream of silver, minting a steady stream of silver coins that would allow the Ming Dynasty to purchase goods from all over the world. All kinds of goods and minerals could be brought to the Ming Dynasty and invested in its infrastructure.
To put it bluntly, this is another form of plunder.
Mining, minting, and buying things out, these money will not even circulate within the economic system of the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty can only see that the Ming Dynasty is constantly buying things from outside.
Under this model, the Ming Dynasty's economy will be greatly improved. Silver is also needed.
If the use of paper money could achieve this, the Ming Dynasty would usher in a period of even faster development, and subsequent money houses would follow suit.
This is called Jin Yuan hegemony, which is very powerful.
North Korea is the most effective testing base, and Zhu Youxiao will not let North Korea act recklessly.
Although Liu Xian was not clear about these things, he understood another thing: His Majesty must have a deep meaning behind what he did, and he just had to do his job well.
So he came up and threatened Li Xi.
Your Majesty cannot do this kind of thing, but as a minister, it is not difficult to do it. So Liu Xian's words were very impolite.
Li Xi glanced at Liu Xian.
You old man, you looked so smiling just now, and I thought you were a good person. But now you do this?
After calming down, Li Xi said directly, "North Korea really has limited food. This can't be helped. If the Ming Dynasty buys food from North Korea, North Korea will easily face a famine."
Li Xi was very clear about the size of the Ming Dynasty and how rich it was.
In recent years, trade between Ming and Korea has continued, and all kinds of Korean products have been bought by Ming. Ming sold a lot of cheap cloth and other things to Korea, and now even Korean farm tools and iron pots are all from Ming.
Ming merchants would mine and manufacture in Liaodong, then sell it to Korea, making a killing. Some even brought the money directly to Korea and sold it, also making a killing.
Many people in Korea lost their livelihoods, and the only way to make money was to farm. After all, the Ming Dynasty had been very willing to spend a lot of money to buy food from Korea in the past two years, causing food prices to soar, and many people could not even afford to eat.
Under such circumstances, refugees have already appeared in North Korea.
These hateful Ming Dynasty merchants did another thing, which was to actively recruit workers in Korea and let them go to Liaodong to work and live.
There are better jobs and more money to be made in Liaodong, come quickly.
The Ming Dynasty's Liaodong industrialists were struggling to recruit domestic workers. For the Ming people, Liaodong wasn't a good place. It was always a war zone, and even when it wasn't, life was difficult. The mountains were high and the waters were far, so no one wanted to go.
If people in later generations had not had to cross the Guandong Pass because they could not survive, that would have led to so many people in the Northeast. Otherwise, do you really think anyone would be willing to live there?
They were forced to do so and had to run for their lives.
After the founding of New China and the reform and opening up policy, the world was at peace, and then we saw the population loss in Northeast China. The young generation with aspirations all ran away.
In addition to policy reasons, we have to say it is related to the environment. Many people in Northeast China don’t like to stay in Northeast China. It is too cold in winter and it is inconvenient to do anything.
The situation is the same now. The Ming Dynasty is short of people everywhere. There is no need to go to the Northeast to make money. It is safe in the interior and the money is good. Why go to the frontier?
I'm not joining the army to defend the border.
Therefore, no one was willing to go to Liaodong. Naturally, these Liaodong merchants targeted a group of people. In addition to Mongolian and Jurchen slaves, Liaodong merchants also targeted Koreans.
After so much development and growth, Liaodong merchants also understood another thing: slavery is not always good, and sometimes paying people for employment is more efficient.
Therefore, Liaodong merchants actively and frantically plundered North Korea, plundering various materials from North Korea on the economic level and robbing North Korea of its manpower.
Come on, come on, after these Koreans arrive in Liaodong, it can be said that they can be seamlessly integrated.
Korean scholars write Chinese characters very well and write ancient poems very well. They can be used right away and only require simple training.
The Korean people all speak the Ming language, and they can go to work when they arrive in Liaodong. It is simply a perfect existence.
This is what the King of Korea is worried about. If this continues, the country of Korea will no longer exist.
The last time he came, the King of Korea wanted to solve this problem, but was directly rebuked by Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao gave him another plan: "Let's go and attack Japan, and plunder Japan together. By that time, you will not only gain benefits, but also make up for the previous losses."
But the idea was good, and the King of Korea couldn't believe it. This time, he didn't come in person, but sent his son, hoping to have a good talk. Last time, he didn't dare to refuse, but this time he hoped his son would refuse.
In this matter, Zhu Youxiao could only say that the King of Korea was thinking too much and no one could refuse the Ming Dynasty.
