The wave of paper money has swept across the country, and hundreds or thousands of banknotes are dazzling.

Depending on the face value, specific purchasing power, and guarantee issuers, it is foreseeable that there will be considerable confusion in the exchange and circulation of these hundreds of banknotes.

They can't even circulate with each other.

The best way is to issue only one set of banknotes in China, and share one set of banknotes across the country.

This brings a lot of convenience.

Zhou Ming thought so at first, before he issued the golden yuan bills, he found the cooperation of the state, hoping to jointly issue banknotes, and he held a certain stake in them.

Folding money?

When those money bank officials heard this term, they reacted the same as Bai Xutang, thinking that this was a fantasy, it was simply a joke, and it was impossible to succeed.

A few months later, these officials were naturally slapped in the face and regretted it, but they lost the opportunity, and the banknotes issued by the state could only be the most widely circulated and the most trustworthy guarantor, and could not eliminate the hundreds of banknotes that popped up together.

Because of the benefits of paper money, other cities have discovered that as long as they control the power to issue paper money, the wealth of the entire city can be pooled into the hands of the currency issuer.

As long as your credibility does not collapse, endless wealth can be controlled by the money printing machine.

Smart people who discover this interest, of course, will not let go of the power to issue money.

Of course, the top level of the state wants to take back the right to issue currency in the same way as the armies of the cities, but it is too late, and if it is forcefully withdrawn, it will cause all the cities to revolt and oppose it together.

The top level of the state had no choice but to call those officials of the money bank, and after scolding them for being "idiots and rice buckets", they were all dismissed.

As a result, for many years, in the field of currency, hundreds of sets of paper money were maintained in the country, and the chaotic situation of circulation at the same time was maintained.

As the inventor of paper money, Zhou Ming can only say that he is helpless.

It's not that he hasn't fought for it, but those officials don't believe it, and he can't do it.

However, less than a year later, when Zhou Ming learned from the intelligence that Dong Yuanzhou was also vigorously promoting the use of paper money, he was taken aback.

TEC is also promoting paper money, how is this possible?

How could it be so fast?

Zhou Ming's exclamation, if Jiang Ruyue heard it, she might reply lightly: Sorry, we are so fast.

In fact, Jiang Ruyue also has an intelligence collection agency in her hands, and attaches great importance to the situation on the side of Wanchengguo.

Normally, if there is a major event or news on Wan Chengguo's side, about a week later, all kinds of information will appear on her desk.

The wave of paper money set off by Wanchengguo naturally attracted her great attention.

And from many news reports, we can see the strategic significance and high value of paper money.

Even when most of the reports were negative and ridiculous about the appearance of paper money, she was already in the limelight.

Then he increased his attention and ordered the intelligence officers to find a way to get some banknotes from the country of Wancheng.

What impressed her deeply was the "Golden Yuan Coupon" issued by Wancheng Guohyun Qingcheng.

These golden yuan coupons have beautiful materials, beautiful patterns, unique feels, and multiple anti-counterfeiting logos, which are even more breathtaking.

In particular, the face value of 1000 gold yuan coupons, the whole body is golden red, the color is festive, giving people a sense of loftiness, in the hand, you feel loved.

When she learned that the designer of these gold yuan coupons was Bai Feiyang, the inventor of the banknotes, Jiang Ruyue was even more amazed, and her eyes burst out with love.

He muttered: "Why can't a genius like Mr. Bai be born in my Dongyuanzhou? If such a genius can be used by me, why worry that Dongyuanzhou is not strong?"

Bai Feiyang's famous name, Jiang Ruyue knows.

First of all, he is a genius, a peerless genius in cultivation, the news of marrying Mu Xianzi and defeating the world's heroes, those days were highly concerned, and I looked forward to the point where the information was sent every day, just to see if he could complete the challenge and marry Mu Xianzi smoothly.

Later, when he succeeded in his challenge, Jiang Ruyue was so excited that she almost jumped up, and countless envy welled up in her heart, envy for Fairy Namu.

The second is also an inventor.

Genius inventor.

He has successively invented the Lingyuan cable telegraph, the Lingyuan typewriter, and the movie, which have great help and value for the military, office, and entertainment.

These three inventions, Jiang Ruyue has experimental products or smuggled finished products in her hands, which are very easy to use, especially movies, she likes them the most, such as the movie "Seven Swords Down the Mountain to Fight Demons" directed by Bai Feiyang, she has watched it no less than ten times.

Now, he has shown himself the invention of the "paper money", which is a breakthrough in the era.

Jiang Ruyue's mind was opened, and she quickly had the idea of learning to imitate and promote the issuance of banknotes in Dongyuan Zhou.

And immediately reprimanded it for action.

It's just that with Dong Yuanzhou's technology and talent reserves, it is impossible to print banknotes with perfect anti-counterfeiting functions and invent a banknote printing machine with high efficiency.

It will take at least one or two decades to start the research from paper, ink, watermarks, etc.

Jiang Ruyue couldn't wait that long.

It can only be smuggled into the country through intelligence organizations.

So it took hundreds of millions of spirit coins and waited for a few months, and finally bought a set of money printing machines and corresponding supporting equipment, and it took a lot of effort to transport them to Dongyuanzhou.

A group of experts were commissioned for several months, imitating the style of the Hyun Qingcheng Golden Yuan Coupons, and printing the first batch of banknotes belonging to Dong Yuanzhou.

This kind of banknote was named "Xiaoyao coin" by Jiang Ruyue.

Some people here may ask, in the private sector has a large amount of spiritual currency reserves, the purchasing power of spiritual coins has depreciated to the inconvenient to carry Wancheng country, the implementation of paper money has been successful, this is understandable, but it is possible to copy it to Dongyuan Zhou, where the purchasing power of spiritual coins is not so low?

It could well work.

Why?

There are three main reasons.

One, there are a lot of spiritual stone mines buried under the land of Dongyuanzhou, and there are many super spiritual stone mines with a mining value of more than ten trillion spiritual coins and more than one trillion spiritual coins.

Therefore, the purchasing power of the Dongyuan Continent Spirit Coin is not as exaggerated as the depreciation to the Wancheng Kingdom, but it is not particularly high.

Second, the commercial exchanges between the cities in the Dongyuan Continent are extremely active, and the commercial exchanges are frequent, especially the bulk commodity transactions, if the settlement is settled with spirit coins, it is still very troublesome, and the number of goods carried is too large, and even affects the number of goods carried.

If you promote banknotes that are light and easy to carry, they will definitely be welcomed by merchants.

Especially the welcome of big businessmen.

Three, within the Eastern Yuan Continent, there is also inflation.

The inflation caused by the import of spiritual coins is about 3% on average, and some cities exceed 5% or 8%.

How did this happen in Dongyuanzhou?

Foreign trade exports.

Dong Yuanzhou's total annual exports exceed 3 trillion spirit coins, which is about twice that of Wancheng Kingdom.

How can Dongyuanzhou's foreign trade exports be so much more powerful than Wanchengguo?

The reason is that in the past twenty or thirty years, a large number of Lingyuan factories or hydraulic factories have been built in various cities of Dongyuanzhou, and industrialization has been vigorously promoted, producing a large number of industrial products.

Moreover, the people of Dongyuan Zhou are generally diligent and intelligent, and they see that the goods produced in the country are valuable, so they buy them for research and carry out reverse imitation, and then rely on the advantage of relatively low labor costs to achieve great results in agriculture, textiles, primary industrial products, etc., although the quality of the goods produced is average, but with the advantage of low prices, they can defeat the similar goods of the country in the outer continent.

In the face of the attack of Dongyuanzhou's tidal wave of low-priced commodities, the profits of many primary commodities in Wancheng Country fell sharply, and they even chose not to export anymore when they saw that they were unprofitable.

Many businessmen and factory owners in Wancheng Country have a very bad view of Dong Yuan Zhou, and these actions of Dong Yuan Zhou make people very angry.

But he had no choice but to ask the official of Wancheng to strengthen the technical blockade of Dongyuanzhou.

In this way, Dongyuanzhou, which became rich with "cottages", earned a lot of money that belonged to the merchants of Wancheng Kingdom in terms of foreign trade.

This also has Jiang Ruyue's "credit", for the development of Dongyuanzhou, the advanced and mature technology experience of other continents, she has always encouraged the introduction and advocated local digestion and absorption.

Of course, she also found a solution to the problem of imported inflation caused by this from the wave of paper money in Wanchengguo.

In Dong Yuan Chau, paper money was also introduced.

But as soon as she made this decision, she was questioned and opposed by the nine heads of state, thinking that it was unreliable, how could a piece of broken paper be used as real money?

Jiang Ruyue didn't refute it, but just smiled and made a bet with them: the "Xiaoyao coin" she issued is now issued in the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao Palace, if it is widely accepted by the people, then it will be promoted throughout the continent, if the people can't accept it, then she cancels this reform, abolishes paper money, and she bears all the losses.

The nine heads of state agreed to the bet, all of whom felt that paper money reform was unlikely to succeed.

They didn't see the smile in Jiang Ruyue's hidden eyes and her confident expression.

A month later.

With its specific circulation performance, which was warmly welcomed and widely praised by the merchants and people, Xiaoyao Coin successfully slapped the face of the nine heads of state.

The Nine Heads of State also realized the importance of the right to issue banknotes, did not abide by the gambling contract, and soon issued their own banknotes.

However, the nine banknotes that have lost their first-mover advantage are not as popular in the market as as Xiaoyao coins.

And the nine kinds of banknotes were issued in a hurry, the printing technology was rough, and the anti-counterfeiting technology was even more backward, which was easy to be counterfeited and counterfeited, which was completely inferior to the free coin.

was cheated several times, and after paying the tuition, he was quickly abandoned by the merchant people.

The only paper money in the market of TECO that is widely recognized, has strong credit, and is used willingly, is the "Easy Coin".

Xiaoyao Palace, which controls the financial lifeline of Dongyuan Continent, has greatly strengthened its control over Dongyuan Continent.

Zhou Ming sighed at this:

"In the competition between countries, we must not be complacent about being one step ahead, and the late-mover advantage of those who are behind the pursuers is sometimes really worrying. ”

"Jiang Ruyue, you have the style of a father. ”
