It is foreseeable that with the support of two super silver mines, the Tyrolean silver mine and the Saxony Freiberg silver mine, there will be no shortage of silver in Marin in the future. Even, because of the explosion of the output of the two major silver mines, the money shortage in Europe can be alleviated to a great extent.

In addition, Marin really intends to expand the production of the Rammelsberg silver mine in Goslar. When the output of the Rammelsberg silver mine also increases, the silver gap in Europe can basically be coped.

As for the question of whether the price of silver and gold will fall after the outbreak of silver production, Marin is not worried. Because, Spain was about to open the road to the Great Zimbabwe Empire. On the Portuguese side, although the progress is far less than that of Spain, there is hope for the road in Timbuktu. Once Spain and Portugal took Timbuktu from the Great Zimbabwe Empire and the Songhai Empire respectively, large quantities of African gold would also pour into Europe. In the case of a substantial increase in the output of gold and silver, the price of gold and silver will also maintain a certain balance.

Speaking of which, with the gold and silver output of the three major silver mines and the two African gold empires, the problem of Europe's money shortage will be solved. Moreover, it can also maintain a certain amount of economic stability.

However, if Iwami Ginzin and the gold and silver of Mexico and Peru in the Americas were also involved, it would be a problem. European productivity is here, and goods will not increase. Before, there was a shortage of gold and silver, but with the gold of the two major gold empires and the silver of the three major silver mines, the gap can be filled. But if you add gold and silver from the Americas and gold and silver from Japan, the total amount of money is seriously exceeded.

Therefore, in the original history, after the development of large-scale gold and silver mines such as the Potosí silver mine in the Americas, European productivity could not keep up, resulting in a serious outbreak of inflation in Europe, also known as the "price revolution".

Among them, because of the large influx of gold and silver from the Americas, the price of goods in Spain actually rose fourfold in the 16th century. In particular, the price of grain has skyrocketed compared to the housing prices of later generations. Marin remembers that in the 17th century, the price of a quart of wheat (12.7 kilograms) in England rose to more than 20 shillings, or one pound, and at its highest was 40 shillings. This is still England, left in Spain, where prices are higher.

After thinking about it, Marin still planned to suspend the development of gold and silver in the Americas. In particular, the Potosi Silver Mine was written down in a notebook and hidden in a notebook to be developed when Caesar needed it.

Of course, there is another way to curb the rise in prices, and that is to increase productivity, so that the increase in goods exceeds the production of gold and silver. In this way, prices will not rise.

It's not that hard. As long as the territory of the old beauty of the future generations is developed, there is a lot of reclamation, and the development of industry. In that way, the increase in gold and silver would be insignificant.

Why did the Brinton Woods system collapse in the future? It is not the 70s of the 20th century that with the rise of automation technology, productivity has been further improved. At that time, the increase in gold production had not kept pace with the increase in productivity. In desperation, the gold standard system could only collapse.

In other words, as long as Marin makes good use of the rich resources of the old American region in later generations, vigorously develops the productive forces, and makes the total amount of commodities increase sharply, then even if the gold and silver mines in the Americas are developed, it will not cause inflation.

As for paper money or something, Marin didn't dare to do it. Before the establishment of a modern financial system, unprofessional monarchs were prone to indiscriminate issuance of paper money. Just like the Ming Dynasty, because of the indiscriminate issuance of treasure money, the depreciation of treasure money was very fast, and even private trade refused to accept treasure money.

In the 19th century, when the world economy and productive forces were developing rapidly, until 1880, Britain was the only country in the world to practice the gold standard. Other countries, such as the United States and France, have a double standard of gold and silver, and paper money is scarce. The United States only issued a large number of green-backed dollars during the Civil War, but after the war, all of them were recovered and exchanged, and gold and silver coins continued to circulate in the market. It was not until the 70s of the 19th century that the world's silver production soared and the value of silver coins depreciated sharply, forcing many countries to abandon the gold and silver standard and start using the gold standard.

That is to say, only when the scientific and technological productive forces have developed to a certain extent can they be suitable for the issuance of paper money. Like the British Empire, there are not many countries that can make paper money very early. For example, in the United States, after the issuance of $450 million in green-backed U.S. dollars during the Civil War, a large number of counterfeit bills appeared on the market, which seriously impacted the market. The famous American Secret Service was established in 1865. The original purpose of its establishment was not to collect intelligence, but to investigate and deal with counterfeit banknotes and maintain the financial security of the United States.

Therefore, Marin's plan is that until the completion of the Industrial Revolution, the gold and silver standard system can only be adopted, and paper money will not be issued. Of course, it's still possible for the bank to get a checkbook or something. However, it requires very complex confidentiality measures and must be registered so as not to be falsified.

……

Of course, those complex financial problems are definitely not encountered by Marin now. After all, his lifespan is limited, and it is estimated that he will not see the day when technology is highly developed. Even Caesar didn't necessarily get to see that day.

Although Marin had already built a steam engine, it was the limit. Who told Marin that he was a liberal arts student in his last life and had never studied mechanics. If you can know the principle of the steam engine, you have to thank the middle school physics textbook. Moreover, he himself did not understand mechanics, and even relied on Leonardo da Vinci to develop a steam engine. Therefore, it is estimated that there is little hope of completing the industrial revolution while he is alive. At most, it can produce the industrial level of the mid-to-early 19th century. As for the internal combustion engine and electrical equipment of the mid-to-late 19th century, he certainly couldn't get it.

After leaving the Duchy of Saxony, Marin followed the previously established inn post system, changing horses along the way, and returned to Beihai after a few days.

Upon his return to the North Sea Kingdom, Marin first issued an order ordering Wagner to lead the Second Army and 5,000 Cossack cavalry south to support King Vladislas II of Bohemia.

At the same time, he ordered 8,000 police officers across the country to deploy 5,000 to support the defense of the city and avoid being taken advantage of.

But the First Army had already divided 5,000 men to the south to support Duke Ulrich of Württemberg, and even with the addition of the 5,000 police forces, the local troops were still a little small.

Therefore, Marin ordered that 20,000 people should be selected from the tens of thousands of people who usually accompanied the army, and they would be given weapons and armor to help defend the city and avoid attacks on the mainland.

At the same time, Marin ordered Steindorff's Third Legion, which was stationed in the eastern region, to keep a close watch on the old nobles sent to Bremen, including the former captured princes, lest they take advantage of the lack of troops at home and flee abroad. Once they escape, it will be a big trouble to get some kind of regime in exile. Therefore, Marin secretly ordered Steindorf to kill anyone who dared to take advantage of the opportunity to escape......

……

Not only that, but Marin also gave orders to the Ruhr region to the south to prepare for war. In order to prevent rebellion in the eight newly added vassal states, Marin sent civil officials to pacify the local area and a group of veteran officers to Bochum, the capital of the Ruhr region of the North Sea Kingdom, to recruit 10,000 people and carry out military training in full swing in the local area, so as to deter the southern region and avoid turmoil.

Even the 1,000 mine guards sent to Goslar, the mining center, were temporarily expanded to 5,000 to prevent small disturbances. For a time, the entire Beihai country entered a state of combat readiness......
