Chapter 384 - Establishment of Currency
Yang Mu thought about it, it seems that everyone is not stupid, and they have all seen the restrictions of Dacang coins.
But there was one thing, they were wrong.
When designing the Dacang coin before, it was not that this was not taken into account, but there were more far-reaching considerations.
Because in comparison, the paper of Dacang coin is much more convenient than heavy silver, and it can be used for a large amount of business, even if it requires hundreds of thousands of taels of transactions at once, Cangguo can also design a kind of bill.
That's right, it's the bill.
The reason why there are no large-denomination silver tickets is because I am afraid that someone will deceive the old people or women who have never seen the world, after all, even if it is silver, there are some lawbreakers who make some pig iron forgeries in the middle of the silver.
Moreover, history has proved that large-denomination banknotes can easily breed corruption and become a tool for some lawbreakers to accumulate money.
Therefore, it is necessary to have the nature of a silver bill.
Bills, but Yang Mu is ready to design it bigger and more complex, and there should be information such as serial numbers on it, not like Dacang coins, which can be made in large quantities with a template.
If you want to exchange a bill, it needs to be officially recognized.
Immediately, he said what he thought.
While the emperors of all countries were relieved, they also felt a wave of admiration from the bottom of their hearts, not only admiring the new currency of Cangguo, but also admiring Yang Mu's meticulousness.
It can be described as all aspects, thick and thin.
"Your Majesty Emperor Cang, I have a reluctant request from Yanguo, I wonder if I can also use the Great Cang Coins?"
Emperor Yanguo hesitated for a long time and asked hesitantly, for fear that Yang Mu would not agree.
"Oh? His Majesty the Yan Emperor actually had such intentions? Yang Mu suddenly became interested and said, "I don't know what your country has planned?" Can I accept my new currency? ”
In front of everyone's eyes, the emperor of Yanguo seemed to be very unaccustomed to it, and said embarrassedly: "You are smiling, as we all know, my Yanguo is located in a remote area, there are many ravines and forests, the people are poor, and most of the needs of daily life are bartered, so the reserves of the two banks in the treasury are very scarce. ”
When the emperors heard this, they couldn't stop nodding.
After all, as long as you know a little about Yanguo, you will know that this country is a country formed by the remaining leftovers after the dispute between Dong Guo and Sheng Guo, which seems to be not small from the map, but the country is indeed densely populated with ravines and mountains, sparsely populated, and there are only about 3 million people in total.
Although in recent years, benefiting from the rise of the Cangguo, it has become a part of the trade route, and the people have become a little richer, but this is only compared to before, in fact, the common people still do not have much money to spend.
At this time, the establishment of Dacang Coin as an official and legal currency in China can be regarded as a good thing to strengthen exchanges with Cangguo.
However, the name of the Dacang coin, coupled with the portrait of the emperor of Cangguo printed on it, is it good to use it as the same currency in the country?
"In this case, my Kangguo is also willing to join, and use the Dacang coin as a currency of my Kangguo, which will be circulated and used at the same time as silver." Emperor Kang Guo also expressed his position.
After that, the Yue Kingdom, the Sending Kingdom, the Linguo Kingdom, the Shao Kingdom, the Dan Kingdom, the Zhu Kingdom, and the Cai Kingdom also successively stated that they would include the Dacang coin in the list of legal and recognized currencies in their own countries, and use them together with silver and copper coins minted in their own countries.
Yang Mu silently calculated in his heart, these countries are generally poor and weak countries, even if they accept the big cang coin, in fact, it will not have much impact on the country's current situation.
However, these are enough for Cangguo.
As long as more and more people use Dacang coins, then sooner or later, Dacang coins will have the status of silver, and may be stronger than silver, and at that time, Dacang coins can completely squeeze silver down, so that silver, like gold, can only be used as a collector's item.
This is not alarmist, but it is real.
The reason is simple, it is the human desire for money.
In other words, it is the human desire for wealth, the ability to dispose of and buy at any time, not the silver itself.
As long as the big cangin can be strong, it will be a matter of time before it replaces silver.
And he firmly believes that this day is not near.
Imagine that you can exchange the big cangin for silver, then the countries will think, this is a good way, I must be angry, do a good trade, earn your money, exchange your silver, and wait until the business is doing, suddenly I found that the big cangcoin is the same as silver, you can buy the goods you want, and when you buy things, the price is still very stable, there will not be much difference in purchase between the countries, and different countries can smoothly settle transactions with the cangcoin.
At this time, Cangguo can reduce the difficulty of silver exchange on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can reduce the amount of Dacang currency issued through macroeconomic control, and implement a deflationary strategy.
At this time, whether it is the common people or large caravans, after gradually feeling that the silver is not so strong, they will turn to store Dacang coins and use more Dacang coins.
Over time, the status of silver will decline rapidly, and more and more countries will recognize the circulation status of Dacang coin in their own countries and marginalize silver.
Then, the strategy of influencing the countries through the economy has been realized.
Why?
After all, the big cang coin is printed on paper, if the cang country does not follow the economic laws and prints the paper money against the enemy country, then the hard work of the big cang coin will be diluted?
When he was a child, Yang Mu heard a story about his stepmother and could explain this matter.
It is said that there is a child who eats dumplings, there are 3 dumplings in the bowl, but if you want to eat dumplings, you have to drink the water in the bowl first, when the child is about to eat dumplings, the stepmother adds water, and finally the child drinks water and dies.
In the same way, the injection of a huge amount of money into a country in a short period of time will upset the balance between the supply of money and goods, and with a slight push, civil strife will break out in the country, and at worst, the country will become impoverished.
For example, in a country's treasury, there were originally 100 million cangyuan.
Suddenly, the Dacang coin is worthless in the country, and even the price of rice has risen several times, doesn't it mean that the purchasing power of the 100 million Dacang coin stored in the country has shrunk several times at once?
Peacetime is fine, but it can be recovered naturally after a long time by moving to other countries.
But what if it's wartime, when it's time to raise supplies?
The consequences are unimaginable.
In the same way, one day Cangguo really has no money in the treasury, so you can use the same method to appropriately issue additional Cangguo coins and buy them in other countries......
This is equivalent to unleashing a country's inflation on all countries in the world.
In her previous life, Lao Mei did a lot of such things.
So much so that Yang Mu felt excited when he thought about it.
A meeting is over, the time is not early, and the sunset on the horizon is sinking down.
That night, news of the big cang's coin spread in the city.
However, for some new things, the common people will inevitably have some suspicions, in order to avoid some hearsay, what rumors will evolve in the end, Yang Mu specially told the Ministry of Rites to urgently publish a special issue of "Dacang Times", which will be printed and distributed early tomorrow morning.
