Chapter 562: Inflation and Austerity

At the end of the day, money is something that everyone recognizes for it to have value.

The paper on which the Dacang coins are printed is worthless in itself, just pieces of paper.

However, because of the credit guarantee of the Cangguo government and the imperial court, it was forcibly recognized as legal tender, so it had value and could be directly exchanged for silver.

By issuing additional currency, Cangguo makes the enemy country inflate, which is to use its position as a currency manipulator to achieve its goal.

It's the equivalent of a plunder!

"No, Cangguo also uses paper money, the price of rice and grain in our countries has risen, and the amount of paper money has increased, isn't Cangguo afraid that domestic prices will also rise? Aren't you afraid that the people in your own country will have no value in your currency? ”

At this time, one of the ministers raised questions.

Ruan Cairui sighed and said: "I have already found out, recently, the sale of goods and smuggling have been strictly prohibited at various checkpoints in Cangguo, and the pressure is very large, in short, the big cangcoins of various countries are not allowed to flow into Cangguo." At the same time, I heard that Cangguo has also set up rice and grain supply stores in every city, and has always sold grain at market prices, and also gave rice and grain to poor people. ”

"It seems that this time the manipulation of paper money has been planned for a long time."

"Damn! It is really shameless for the cunning Cangguo to buy our grain with his own indiscriminate banknotes, and to pretend to be generous to the people of his own country!"

"Now it seems that we have to guard against Wu Guo, this time most of our Ruan State's grain was bought by Wu Guo with paper money, obviously it has already colluded with Cang State."

The ministers discussed a lot, and soon pointed the finger at Wu Guo.

"Human nature is greedy, and these extra banknotes will eventually flow back to their own countries, and they will definitely look good when the time comes."

At this time, a voice came from the corner of the hall.

The ministers turned their heads to look at each other, and they all cast idiot-like eyes.

Ultimately?

Flowing back to their own country?

Are you really stupid, or are you fake stupid?

Are these countries Cangguo and Wuguo manipulating paper money for no reason?

War!

It's time of war!

Since these countries led by Cangguo dare to manipulate paper money like this, they must have prepared preventive measures a long time ago, and they will not cause too much harm to their countries in the short term.

It is enough to use this short period of time to destroy the money and goods systems of various countries, and even loot the grain and grass of various countries, making it more difficult for the governments of various countries to raise food and grass.

The country is in chaos, the army's logistics are not guaranteed, and whether Nguyen Quoc can wait until later is still a big question.

When Cangguo wins the war, is it still difficult to balance prices through some government procurement?

After a long discussion, the ministers had their own opinions, and in the end they could not come up with a statute.

After a long time, someone proposed: "Why don't Your Majesty directly issue an edict and make the conspiracy of Cangguo public?" ”

"No!" Immediately, someone came out to object, saying: "At present, there are many people using paper money, and once it is made public, I am afraid that it will cause panic, and the court will not be able to come up with countermeasures, which will be even more troublesome." This incident started because of the indiscriminate issuance of paper money by Cangguo, and it still has to start from Cangguo after all. ”

Ruan Cairui stroked her forehead and said helplessly: "Everyone, is there any effective way?" ”

"This ......"

"Well, this has to be considered in the long run......"

The ministers looked left and right, but they couldn't come up with any ideas.

Ruan Cairui had no choice but to wave back the ministers, and asked the Dahonglu Temple to inform the rest of the countries to explain Ruan's speculation, and then went to the dormitory alone and meditated.

Cangguo, it seems, is more difficult to deal with than she imagined.

Originally, it was only in terms of military strength, and all kinds of new weapons emerged one after another, causing countries to continue to suffer great losses.

But now it seems that Cangguo can also play tricks on coins.

From the declaration of war on Cangguo to the present, she has never felt so powerless as today.

Burnout!

……

At this time, in the palace of Cangguo.

Yang Mu, Kong Shangxian, Qin Changfeng, and Junchen sat together to discuss how to proceed with the next step.

In addition to Yang Mu, who had systematically studied economics and understood some cases, Kong Shangxian and Qin Changfeng also saw for the first time what currency manipulation was.

The two sat in front of Yang Mu, except for some apprehension, more of an excitement.

That's right, it's exciting!

As a civil servant, they may not be very interested in military affairs, but they are very interested in this method of making the enemy country mess with the enemy through currency.

In the past month, Cangguo's repeated operations have been like opening a new door in their world.

It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this!

In the hearts of Kong Shangxian and Qin Changfeng, this is no longer a simple currency manipulation incident, but a real currency war!

Bloodless!

Kong Shangxian said: "The minister has already arranged, tomorrow my Dacang Jinyi Wei secret agent will set off and go to the countries to pour Dacang coins, and after ten days, they will exchange the entire amount of Dacang coins for small banknotes." ”

Yang Mu nodded and said, "A month later, the banknotes we release will flow back to our Cangguo through the dark market, and at that time, the "Demonetization Order" can be announced." ”

"Demonetisation?" Qin Changfeng on the side was surprised and said, "Do you want to abolish the Dacang coin?" ”

Kong Shangxian smiled and said, "Lord Shangshu misunderstood, the last time I discussed with His Majesty, Lord Qin was not present, Kong will explain it to you." The so-called demonetization order is not to abolish the Dacang coin, but to abolish the banknote engraved with the words "Taiding 20 years", that is to say, all the Dacang coins printed this year will be invalid. ”

Qin Changfeng suddenly realized, and then he remembered that it seemed that those crazy printed Dacang coins were spilled out of one year.

In this way, these abolished Dacang coins are equivalent to counterfeit banknotes, which are equivalent to a piece of waste paper.

Kong Shangxian said: "When this war subsides, we will buy this batch of banknotes at a low price, such as ten yuan for one hundred yuan, and then exchange these coins back to prevent some lawbreakers from using them to deceive and defraud, and in a few years, we can recognize this batch of coins and restore the credit of Dacang coins, and the people do not need to look carefully at the year when they use paper money." ”

"High, really high!"

Qin Changfeng couldn't help but admire, and admired it in his heart.

I am afraid that as soon as this trick is struck, all countries will be stunned, and those merchants of various countries who have gone to great lengths to smuggle grain will lose all their money.

Through the game of exchanging large currencies for small currencies, inflation, and then deflation, this comes and goes, and the pockets of ordinary people in various countries will be at least shriveled up several times!
