Chen Ming only received the New War Report from North America after the New Year, and he learned that the expeditionary force followed the Pacific Rim Alliance and played a trick of the American version of the Japanese Advance Team, and this control was not as strong as Chen Han's against Japan.

But this made Chen Ming wake up, he really didn't take Japan seriously, and he hadn't thought about killing the emperor recently. When he organized the Japanese security forces and the standing team, he obviously planned to use them as knives, why did he forget to sprinkle a little bit of them in the Americas now?

Although the Japanese security forces and the standing forces, with a total strength of more than 50,000 troops, are busy in the deep mountains and old forests of Nanyang all day long, and they are always using their lives to shave off the moths that endanger China's rule in Nanyang, they also play a very important role. But it is also not correct to forget to throw them to the Americas.

Over the years, the number of Japanese who have obtained the yellow book has reached 20,000, which is equivalent to 20,000 families, of which more than ninety percent are from the standing up team and the security team. As long as one member of the Japanese family gets the yellow book, the immediate family members of the family can live in China for a long time, and after five years, no one has broken the law, and his relatives can also apply for the yellow book to the local government.

It's that the guys who got the red book have three or four thousand.

According to preliminary statistics, almost every one of the first batch of security personnel got a red book, and more than ninety percent of them gave themselves Chinese names.

These people's children go to school in China, receive Chinese education when they are young, speak Chinese, eat Chinese food, and wear Chinese clothes, and it is difficult to say that they still have some thoughts about Japan when they grow up.

Just like the descendants of Chinese who immigrated to the United States in the 21st century, how much Chinese heart do those second generations have? Or are they more banana people?

The answer is not asked.

Chen Ming is now very proud that he not only made China have countless Japanese Americans, but also turned some Caucasians into egg people.

White-skinned and yellow-hearted.

These egg people who wear Hanfu, use chopsticks, and can speak Chinese are not only Westerners who like Chinese culture like Chen Ming's 'big mountain' in his previous life, but Caucasians who are really proud of their Chinese nationality with a red heart to Nanjing.

The descendants of those Poles who 'succumbed' to China in the Sino-Russian war, a handful of Cossacks, have now fully adapted to life in China.

It's been so many years.

These 'kites' who have been cultivated and then 'flown off' have used their hard work to earn a better life for their families that they never dared to think of before.

The wages of the 'kites' are not low, and they have all kinds of subsidies and rewards for completing the tasks when they infiltrate the Russian-controlled areas, which can completely allow their families who stay in China to live like nobles.

In addition to some restrictions on freedom, the life of the family members is like paradise. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, in Nanjing, can be regarded as a member of the middle class. Because they can't move freely, this also saves a lot of money for their families, and these people pay little attention to frugality, spending a lot of money on food and clothing, and don't live too comfortably that day.

In particular, those families whose children have been 'chosen' by the top have been treated more than they imagined for 'heaven'.

Chen Ming believes that when these 'second generations' grow up to be humans, their loyalty and credibility will far exceed that of their parents.

The harvest day will have to wait for a while, but Chen Ming is not anxious about these 'egg people'.

The Russians have been very honest all these years, and the partition of Poland has involved a lot of their energy, as well as Catherine II's armed neutral alliance, and the rapid recovery of the Ottomans' strength, which has restrained Russia's energy a lot. Not to mention that their control and deterrence in Central Asia are greatly reduced, which also greatly weakens their threat to northwest China.

In the Kazakh steppe, with the example of Da Yuz, Abu Ben is also moving closer to Nanjing, and Xiao Yuz's attitude has also been repeated, after the death of Nurari Khan, his son Aychuvak was elected as Little Yuz Khan, he should be very envious of Abiris Khan of Da Yuz, and took the initiative to send his eldest son Qiong Jiula to Nanjing to study military affairs, and China also gladly accepted Qiong Jiula. Although Xiao Yuzi continues to maintain his submission to Russia, his attitude towards Russia has changed from 'Kong Youde' to 'Wu Sangui'.

In this era of underdeveloped communications, war is of course indispensable for rapid expansion abroad, but 'raising dogs' must also be carried out.

The 'puppet army' can not only enhance one's own combat effectiveness, but also cause division within the enemy. If you want to sweep away the 'enemy' as soon as possible, this is a must.

Due to traffic constraints, Chen Ming's control over the northern frontier was always lower than that of the interior, so he had to raise Mongols, just as he had a Japanese dog. But isn't the situation over there still tense, so the progress is slow, Chen Ming really doesn't know that in the distant Americas, when Chen Ming didn't even know, he had another American dog.

The difference is only that the Japanese dog directly raised by Nanjing eats and drinks from Nanjing, and it is not that it cannot create value, but this 'value' is too low and too little. The 'Uguar', on the other hand, is able to create high value on its own.

Because those indigenous leaders in Nanyang can't be compared to the indigenous princes of India, all the poor jingles can't squeeze out oil. The reason why the American dogs bred by the North American Expeditionary Force were far more valuable than the Japanese dogs was because they were from wealthy Mexico.

In just two months, it has already driven 5 million in revenue, although it is not comparable to the cost of the entire North American operation, it is also beneficial.

The expeditionary force reported that this number was only the beginning, and that the gains would really reach their peak when an Indian army ran rampant in Mexico, and then spread throughout the Viceroyalty of New Spain and the Viceroyalty of New Granada.

As long as this policy continues, the expeditionary force is expected to make a profit of 50 million yuan in a year next year, which will greatly reduce the pressure on military spending.

Chen Ming immediately gave his approval, he absolutely agreed with the 'American dog', and the benefit of 50 million had dazzled his eyes.

This reply has now been sent down to the cabinet, and Chen Ming believes that it will also be recognized by the cabinet as soon as possible, and Nanjing's finances are really Alexander.

In North America, Nanyang, and Burma, Chen Han fought three different wars in three different battlefields last year, and the tension revealed in the financial report made Chen Ming once again associate the words "reckless and unbridled".

The cries of knives and guns rose again in the newspapers. Many, many people and wealthy people, middle classes, big businessmen, they don't know about the 'feudal kingdom of the Americas'.

The establishment of the American Dispatch Force was not "widely advertised" at all.

So in the eyes of many people, the ongoing war in North America is really a bit bad. Many people hoped that the imperial court would temporarily cease fire with the Spaniards in North America and take Ceylon first. The eyes of the domestic capitalist class do not see distant North America, but they are full of interest in the Indian continent, which already has some understanding.

In the eight years since Chen Han was established, the country's economic development rate fell for the first time last year, from more than 10 percent to 8 percent for the first time. Although the cabinet explained that this is because China's economy is being fine-tuned, after all, the whole of Nanyang has become China's territory.

It definitely has an impact on foreign trade.

Economic growth will return to 'normal' this year, imagine the development of the islands of Java and Sumatra, which will definitely stimulate China's economic progress.

The court of the Chen and Han dynasties was still very prestigious in the hearts of the Chinese people in this era, and Jawa and Sumatra were rare treasures, even though there were many indigenous people in the area, such as the Acehnese at the northwest tip of Sumatra. Since the collapse of the negotiations last autumn, the Nanyang Naval Division has sent troops to seize the whole of Aceh, but the Sultan of Aceh has fled, and the powerful Ullobarang (Tuhou) are also resisting, as well as the local celestial patriarch, who has led the Acehnese to continue to resist with the call of "holy war".

The Nanyang Naval Division, the Japanese Security Corps, and the Advance Brigade that occupied Aceh have destroyed many Acehnese villages in the past few months, they themselves are afraid that they can't say for sure. Groups of Acehnese became slaves and were transported by the Nanyang Labor Company to Belitung, Hongji, Borneo, Siam, and Chinese mainland.

Anyway, as far as Chen Ming knows, the price of slave labor in the market has dropped by more than 10% in the past few months.

But the development of these two islands is definitely profitable.

After the year, iron ingots, iron pots, axes and other iron tools, cattle, horses, livestock, bupleurum, rhubarb, coptis and so on have become sought-after goods in the market, and the price has risen day by day, and soon rose to the highest price.

Especially in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, because of the shortage of materials in the market, everyone expected that Jawa and Sumatra would carry out large-scale resettlement development in a few years, and these things were the necessities of the immigrants, so the price rose directly to the peak, and no matter how high it was, it would be a crime. Strict price control is a great magic weapon for Chen Han to control the domestic economy, so that the 'mercenary' businessmen do not dare to raise prices indiscriminately, otherwise what awaits them will be a court arrest warrant. This phenomenon made Chen Ming's previous slight smug intoxication with the development speed of China's industry, and it was instantly shattered.

Supply and demand are tight, can this still be considered good?

The news from South America brought him a hint of joy, although the Sino-Spanish war was still intertwined, and the war had turned into a state of confrontation, but the expeditionary force still had a killer move, as long as it could detonate the huge and sharp national contradictions within Spanish Mexico, so that the Indians broke out, even if this outbreak was quickly suppressed by the Spaniards, it would greatly drag the Spaniards back.

The course of the war made him reassure himself about North America.

At the very least, he can focus on the country and think carefully with his ministers and nobles about how to increase fiscal revenues and curb and alleviate the growing financial crisis.

Last year, the Ministry of Finance issued the latest version of the Chinese dollar, the maximum value rose from 10 yuan to 100 yuan, with Chen Ming's head printed on it, and Chen Han's current territory printed on the back, the west coast of North America was unreservedly printed on it, and the entire Pacific Ocean became Chen Han's inner lake.

At the same time, the law stipulates that the gold content of one Chinese dollar banknote is 0.25 grams, and China has entered the era of the gold standard.

What is the Gold Standard?

That is, gold is used to stipulate the value represented by the issued currency, each currency unit has a legal gold content, and the currencies of various countries form a certain price relationship according to the weight of the gold they contain;

Just like the current yen, it still insists on 0.2 gold content, that is, 0.75 grams of gold per day, and officially stabilizes the exchange rate between the Chinese dollar and the Chinese dollar at an exchange rate of 1:3. They themselves are running into the gold standard era.

Under this system, governments regulate the gold content of currencies in the form of laws, and the comparison of the gold content of the currencies of the two countries is the seigniorage parity that determines the basis of the exchange rate. Gold can be freely exported or imported into the country's borders, and in the process of importing and exporting, it forms a coinage-price flow mechanism, which plays an automatic role in adjusting the exchange rate.

Under this system, gold coins can be minted freely, and anyone is free to give the gold bricks to the national mint to be minted into gold coins, or to exchange gold coins for the equivalent gold bricks from the mint, according to the legal gold content.

At the same time, the door of free exchange and circulation of precious metals, which had been closed by Chen Ming, was also opened.

To make this decision, Chen Ming made up his mind.

The exchange price of banknotes and silver dollars has changed from 10:1 to 9:1. Chen Han did not force up the gold content of Hua Yuan, because there have been certain slight changes in the price of gold and silver over the years, if Chen Han set the price of Hua Yuan at 0.25 grams of gold content, the exchange price of paper money and silver dollars is indeed 9:1.

The British, China's largest foreign trade partner, did not dispute this. Although they will not give some benefits to China because of the war between China and Spain and the Netherlands, they will not hurt each other's friendship again for this 'trivial matter'.

China is strong, they have the right to set their own rules of the game, the gold standard is not even implemented by the current Great Britain, that is, the current China, the strength is strong, and overseas trade has always been in a very prominent position in the world economic system. It implements the gold standard, which is a monetary policy of free export and export of gold, which is actually establishing an international gold standard system centered on Huayuan and based on gold.

Because Chen Ming also hopes that one day, China's Huayuan will become the most important means of trade settlement in the world, and gold and Huayuan will become recognized international reserves by all countries at the same time. Let Huayuan and gold have the same important status, Chen Han is now a strong economic power, Shanghai will become the Oriental financial center, the international financial center. One day, an international gold standard centered on gold and the Chinese dollar could be formed.

And more importantly, the discovery of gold in Nanming and the discovery of gold in Xiangzhou [Alaska] and Hanjin [San Francisco] suddenly gave China sufficient unimaginable gold reserves, and China had the right to speak.

At a time when gold had not yet been discovered in South Africa, the gold mines in China's hands produced enough gold every year to rank among the top in the world and compete with the Spaniards, who controlled most of Latin America, for the number one gold producer.

Besides, in this era, the force of the state is also one of the priorities of monetary security. In 1821, Britain officially adopted the gold standard in 1821, and the British pound became the standard currency unit of the United Kingdom, containing 7.3+ grams of pure gold per 1 pound. What is John Bull relying on?

One hundred and twenty-five years later, in 1946, the end of World War II, the gold content of the pound was less than 3.6 grams.

In July 1947, the British had just declared the pound sterling freely convertible, and their foreign exchange reserves were rapidly drained, forcing them to reinstate exchange controls just one month later.

In 1949, Britain had to announce that the pound had depreciated by three percent again, and the exchange rate of the pound against the dollar fell to 2.80 dollars per pound.

The alternation of world hegemony is so cruel. Thankfully, China today is much more powerful than Great Britain at that time.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has introduced a series of measures, and the Ministry of Finance, under Chen Ming's supervision, is also preparing to introduce a new set of national fiscal and taxation systems.

To be honest, the new measures made by the Ministry of Finance very painful to Chen Ming, because the knife was the first to be cut on the royal family. This policy is cutting the flesh of the royal family.
