1178 Riverside Talk

The good news is only temporary. The overall crisis situation in the Qin state did not fundamentally change.

"All we have to do is to convene a meeting of bankers to buy back the paper money we have at the same price with gold." Meng Yi said to his subordinates at an emergency economic meeting.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

And such a meeting, Shang Wen did not attend. Opposite. He was discussing their own affairs with Yingyu.

"How long has it been since we've walked along the Wei River like this." Shang Wen said to Yingyu in a wheelchair.

"Yes. It's been a long time. You're busy, and I'm busy sometimes. Anyway, it's been a long time since there was such a two-person world. Yingyu said at this time.

"Yes. That's true. Shang Wen said.

"There's been a lot going on lately that keeps us busy. I'm annoyed myself. Shang Wen said.

"Of course. People get tired sometimes. You're not a machine. Even the machine has a time to oil. Yingyu said with a smile.

"Hey, hey." Shang Wen smiled slightly.

"You say. A person's life. For what? Shang Wen asked at this time.

"I haven't thought about it." Yingyu replied at this time.

"I didn't think about it either. It's just that there have been too many things lately, and I feel too disgusted. And. A lot of things don't go well. I started thinking about it. That's what I thought of. Shang Wen said.

"Actually. Think about it sometimes. Able to eat well. Wear warm clothes. Then accompany the people for a walk by the river. Take a look at the scenery. Blow the wind. Pretty good. Shang Wen said wistfully.

"Yes. I think so, too. So you don't have to think about anything. Carefree. Free-spirited. Yingyu looked at the river not far away and said.

"Yes." Shang Wen also looked at the calm river and said.

"It's good to have such a dull life. Nothing bothers us. We can travel the world, and I'm going to take you to see wonderful landscapes around the world. In this era, in the far west there were the pyramids of Egypt. There is also the ancient city of Athens, with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea. There is also the magical American continent. But we're going to take a boat for half a year. Shang Wen smiled and turned back to Yingyu and said.

"What tower? What city? Yingyu asked at this time.

"Ahh These. These are all things that exist in the West. One day in the future, we will travel the world. See all the wonderful sights of the world. Shang Wen said to Yingyu at this time.

"Yes. You already told me that last time. However, you never made it happen. However, I don't think you're the kind of person who doesn't talk much, and you must take me there. Yingyu said a little excitedly at this time.

"Yes. Definitely". Shang Wen agreed in a good mood at this time.

"Still. Now, you need to solve the problem at hand. Yingyu shifted the topic to reality at this time.

"Hey." Shang Wen sighed deeply. Then he began.

"Yes, we have to come back to reality. However, it is a dream of ours. Only those who have dreams can pursue them. Shang Wen turned back to Yingyu and said.

"Yes." Yingyu nodded.

"Alright. Let's go back to reality. Shang Wen patted his thigh helplessly and said.

"Let's go to the bench over there." Shang Wen said.

"You're tired from standing, too." Shang Wen said with concern for Yingyu.

"You still have a conscience." Yingyu said.

"I have a good conscience." Shang Wen replied.

"I consider myself to be a gentleman." Shang Wen said with a shrug.

"You. It's just an idiot. Dead nerds. Yingyu touched Shangwen with her finger. Then the two of them came to the edge of the bench. Shang Wen is in a wheelchair. Yingyu sat on the bench. Shang Wen also wanted to wipe it with his own handkerchief. But Yingyu had already sat down.

Shang Wen waved his handkerchief. Indicates that it is useless.

"What are you doing with a handkerchief?" Yingyu sat down and asked.

"Me. I want you to put it on a chair. Such. Shang Wen himself didn't know what to say.

"Hmph. I don't know what kind of bad idea to play. Your mind is sometimes not serious. Yingyu obviously misunderstood Shangwen's meaning at this time. Shang Wen could only smile bitterly.

"Alright. Let's get down to business. Shang Wen took the initiative to change the topic at this time.

"You know what? The reason why I wanted to propose financial reform was because I suddenly realized the necessity of your bank's existence. Shang Wen said at this time.

"Yes. My bank was meant to exist. You know, I have a lot of savers on hand. Not only that, but our investments abroad are also in the process of raising funds frantically. Moreover, many foreign projects have already been launched. Yingyu said.

"We've reached a point where we can't get in. The result of not retreating is on. Yingyu said at this time.

"Yes. That's true. If the problem is solved according to Meng Yi's method, on the whole, it is very likely that there will only be one bank in the Qin State in the end. This bank is. Royal Bank. Shang Wen analyzed at this time.

"Yes, that's right. Xiao He told me the same thing. Now, he is going all out to buy more gold from the private sector. Most of the people who had a lot of gold in their hands were slave traders, mercenaries, and all sorts of merchants. Yingyu said at this time.

"However, the amount of gold in your bank is very small." Shangwen went on to point out the most important part of the problem.

"Yes. We don't have any use for gold, and all the gold I got from the war has been realized. Moreover, there is no correlation between the gold and the banknotes that you have made. Xiao He has reminded me to pay attention to gold reserves, but I listen to you and think that gold is of no use. Basically, I sold them all out. Most of the gold on the market. I basically did it. Yingyu said proudly at this time. For she didn't have any gold on hand. She didn't feel nervous at all.

"You're too ruthless every time you do something." Shang Wen criticized Yingyu.

"Hey, you idiot, you're pretty unreasonable. It's you who said that paper money and gold are not pegged. Yingyu said unrelentingly at this time.

"Hey, hey." Shang Wen smiled helplessly at this time.

"Actually. This one is a mistake. My master had already told me back then. This thing is inevitably related. Still, I don't think it's necessary to connect. Right now. What my master said was right. Shang Wen took the initiative to admit his mistake at this time.

"What?" Yingyu shouted loudly at this time.

"Dead nerd. I thought you were doing the right thing. Originally. You also have times when you make mistakes. Yingyu said disdainfully at this time.

"There is no way, I am a man, not a god." Shang Wen said.

"Alright. All right. Shang Wen continued.

"The question now is, what are we going to do?" Shang Wen changed the subject.

"I think so." Shang Wen continued. Yingyu obviously no longer pursues Shangwen's mistakes. After all, there's no more fun.

"Meng Yi's reforms. It didn't work out. Shang Wen said at this time.

"You're not jealous, are you? They are now approved by the king. Yingyu said at this time.

"That's right. My father seems to have been very unkind to you lately. You have to be careful. At this meeting. My father seems to have intended it against you. You're right. My father nodded. As a result, Meng Yi was deliberately brought out. What can he do? Yingyu said at this time.

"I think you're jealous." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Not anymore. I think you're quite aggrieved. Yingyu said at this time.

"Huh." Shang Wen smiled slightly. He felt that Yingyu's little family spirit sometimes made him quite comfortable. Think about it, a woman is so concerned about her man's affairs. It's a concern. A kind of care that comes from a woman.

"It doesn't matter. Meng Yi's reforms went wrong on several issues. Shang Wen said.

"Just like you said. Most of Qin's gold was scattered among many people. Who has not gathered a large amount of gold. Shang Wen said at this time.

In fact, this was indeed the case in the Qin State. Qin's two large-scale foreign wars. Let the wealth of the Qin State gather in an instant. The two large-scale wars refer to the period of Shang Wen's tenure. If you count the time when Shang Wen just came to Qin, then there were three large-scale wars of foreign expansion.

The war not only boosted Qin's huge domestic demand. At the same time, it also boosted the gold demand of Qin. the Western Regions, as well as the eastern mountainous regions. There is a definite place where gold has been found. The decoupling of Qin banknotes and gold implemented by the Qin State at the beginning was actually intended to artificially offset the restrictions on the issuance of Qin banknotes by this kind of gold. If there are too many of them. If gold is fundamental, then there will be two different situations of deflation and inflation in Qin. This is not a good thing for the development of the Qin state. Especially in times of war. At that time, the text was not capable of processing. I still don't have the capacity to deal with these things.

That's it. This disconnect between gold and paper money has existed for some time. The extreme enthusiasm of the people for war has caused many people to make a lot of war money. In particular, the looted gold urgently needs to be converted into paper money and become real wealth. At this time, gold futures trading has only stepped onto the stage of history, that is, at this time. The listing of gold means that gold has brought paper money back in. The inevitable relationship between the two restarts the inevitable connection of the two converging into one. Sooner or later, this inevitable connection would appear in the Qin State.

It is precisely because of this that Qin's gold futures have such a large market. Other words. Gold futures play a centralized role.
