Chapter 126: Attack on Currency
The eight major group armies have already begun to deploy defenses, and at the same time, they are also seizing the time to run in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The tactical coordination and application of various arms are being carried out one after another, but fortunately, the Chinese Republic has its advantages, and the officers have enough culture and ability, even in different sequences, they can quickly settle down and quickly restore their combat effectiveness.
Even, due to the cooperation of different arms, tactics began to become diversified, and some hidden dangers were also improved.
With the establishment of the Lujiang relay signal tower, the signal of the walkie-talkie can even be upgraded to the entire Central Plains, as long as it does not pass the Yellow River, then the walkie-talkie can be channeled anywhere. This is a real black technology, just exchanging all the construction and assembly skills of a signal tower will consume all of Li Yu's reputation points for several months.
However, the benefits are also obvious, at least if there is a problem on the front line in the future, you can call for help as soon as possible, and the rear can also understand the situation on the front line at the first time and respond in time. If it weren't for economic and political factors, I'm afraid that Li Yu would be able to knock down the entire Central Plains region within this year!
Rao is like this, and the plan for the comprehensive liberation of the north has already begun to be formulated. It is expected that next year or the year after, the group army will move north, on the one hand, swallow up Lu Bu's so-called military government, and completely drive the Han Republic across the Yellow River!
The more radical officers even intended to liberate the whole country directly. It was only in consideration of many problems such as depth, logistical supply and liaison that this proposal was finally rejected.
Back then, when a certain island country had more advanced weapons and armaments than ours, it clamored for three months to destroy China, but it was not dragged down for eight years, but was directly dragged down. Taking history as a mirror, Li Yu doesn't want to become the existence that is full of self-confidence and finally hit so badly that he can't do it.
Bad roads, bad communications, bad logistics, bad sense of territory. The biggest disadvantage of this era is that the sense of territory is much stronger than that of later generations, and this consciousness can make a civil war directly turn into a national war!
Of course, the actions of the Huaxia Republic did not hide from the spies of several other forces. They have clearly sensed the war spirit and aggressive intentions of their neighbors, so they have also seized the time to improve their armaments, seize the time to train their soldiers, and prepare for battle.
It's just that for now, the main theme between countries still revolves around the economy. Further, it revolves around the Silk Road.
Now that the grain standard no longer exists, the three precious metals of gold, silver and copper have begun to enter people's field of vision, and they have gradually become more frequent in terms of the number of transactions and trading volumes, making the currency more powerful. The traditional five-baht coin has begun to fail to meet the needs of the market, and many people need new currencies to meet the needs of large transactions.
Shu Han is the smartest, and since last year, the trading ratio of gold, silver and copper has been determined, according to different fineness, and even the official minting of a unified standard of ingots to trade. At the end of the year, the Republic of Dahan also began to use three currencies: gold, silver and copper.
Considering that gold mining is not easy, it is natural that all countries have adopted a silver standard settlement system, and the relatively high-yield silver has become the mainstream currency. After determining the fineness and exchange ratio, new industrial 'money houses' began to appear.
The money bank is mainly state-owned, and its main function is to access gold, silver and copper coins locally and in other places, and is also responsible for the exchange business, exchanging gold and silver of different purities into one or two or other weights of gold and silver ingots minted by the government.
Later, with the establishment of banks in the Huaxia Republic, they began to follow suit while taking deposits and lending money.
As a result, the money deposited in the bank began to have interest, and it also began to have the function of loan collateral. Even they learned from the Chinese Republic, opened up the sale of national bonds, and the military government even issued military bonds in a frenzy to absorb idle funds in society.
Unlike other countries, the joint-stock system has begun to appear in the Republic of Dahan, and after the negotiation of the Congress, there are several gate valve shares in the bank. In addition to the daily exchange needs and some loan needs, a large part of the funds received were used to invest in the caravans, and they were moving towards the Western Regions one after another.
This kind of thing, in fact, the Han Empire is also doing it, so in a short period of time, more and more caravans went to the Western Regions. Everyone is competing to sell their own products and purchase local goods.
This is how the inferiority of the Chinese people appears, especially the businessmen from two different countries. Many people have started to raise the purchase price of goods, and many people are driving down the selling price of goods.
The final result is nothing more than a commodity that can earn a hundred taels of gold, and in the end it can only earn fifty taels of gold, and then to buy something, what originally only cost fifty taels, now costs a hundred taels. Even if you take things back and sell them, you're making hard-earned money......
As for whether it will improve in the future, I don't know, but seeing so many caravans heading towards the Western Regions, Li Yu has already realized this. The Chinese Republic, which is completely uninvolved, only makes money and does not need to worry about anything.
With the circulation of currency, the new currency has begun to circulate widely on the side of the military government, which is an ally with the Huaxia Republic, so Lu Bu has no way to block the entry of currency.
"This is your gold, silver and copper coins?" Lu Bu did not intend to stop it, just because Xuzhou did not have many gold, silver and copper mines, and did not have the ability to mint currency independently, so it was helpless to use the currency of the Chinese Republic for settlement. But as the master of a regime, he is obliged to understand this currency.
"It is precisely for this reason that in the short term, the Chinese Republic will open a number of banks in Xuzhou, specializing in currency exchange. Gold, silver and copper are purchased at different prices and then exchanged for gold, silver and copper coins. Chen Si replied.
"Your gold, silver and copper coins are clearly impure, how can you be sure of their value?" Chen Gong came forward to ask.
"We have set the exchange ratio of all currencies, and our mint, each batch of currency is subject to strict quality inspection before leaving the factory, which means that the purity of all currencies is the same, and its own purity is indeed not high, but as long as the value remains the same, then it is a currency that can be recognized!
Of course, with real money, there will definitely be counterfeit money! We have a lot of measures to identify the authenticity of the currency minted in the Republic of China, and these measures can avoid the appearance of counterfeit money or artificial wear and tear.
Since the military government is also using this currency, in order to avoid counterfeit money from endangering the development of the market economy, it is also an inevitable demand to jointly crack down on counterfeit money! Chen Si said slowly.
Chen Gong did not specialize in financial knowledge, and under Chen Si's flickering, he began to feel much more at ease about these three currencies. In fact, he still ignored one point, that is, the exchange ratio.
When the power to determine this exchange ratio is in the hands of the Huaxia Republic, then they can completely raise the gold and silver exchange to 1:1.2 today, 1:1.5 tomorrow, and 0.8:1 the day after tomorrow. As long as you play well, the military government that completely uses the currency of the Chinese Republic is like a blood cow, with a continuous supply of blood.
Of course, these Chen Si would never tell Lu Bu about them, in fact, he also knew nothing. Moreover, since Lu Bu's regime still has the need to exist, the Huaxia Republic will not play this trick on them so quickly.
In addition, the dominance of the new gold, silver and copper coins has not yet been formed, and if you want to play this method, you must wait for these three currencies to be recognized by the entire Chinese land and become the most mainstream monetary unit in the world today.
When you don't see the rice dollar, you often take advantage of the high price to issue bonds, and then suddenly come to an economic crisis, directly depreciate the currency, and then repay the principal and interest, and gradually increase the value of the rice dollar after a while. So unconsciously, a lot of stupid x who bought rice dollars went bankrupt and volunteered to help others with construction......
Similar to Lu Bu, because Sun Jian was restricted from trading by the Han Empire, there were only two of his trading partners: Liu Yan and the Huaxia Republic. In desperation, they can only accept the use of the new currency, because the latter only recognizes the settlement mode of these three currencies.
Liu Zhang also did not understand the concept of financial sovereignty, so he also began to allow new coins to enter Jiaozhou. The Han Republic and the Han Empire, however, were a little wary of this currency, and they seemed to realize that it would have some bad effects on them.
Originally, it was planned to refuse to settle in this currency, and to settle back to gold and silver ingots and five-baht coins. However, gold and silver ingots are still related to the issue of purity, which is very troublesome to exchange, and many merchants also say that it is more convenient to settle in Singapore currency.
Not to mention that the Han Republic itself is a country controlled by a group of monopoly capitalists, and the Han Empire cannot completely ignore the voices of merchants, after all, it is indeed not the era of the grain standard.
Fortunately, the two countries also maintained enough sanity, and even after in-depth research, they suddenly discovered that the coinage actually had profits. So they also began to mint their own gold, silver and copper coins, completely abandoning the original financial system.
On this basis, it is no longer good to stop the inflow of gold, silver and copper coins from others. Therefore, the circulation of new currency was allowed, but it was also required that their new currency should also be circulated in the Republic of China.
For this reason, the three parties sent special envoys to contact, but the other two countries have not yet appeared in new currency, so there is no way to continue the negotiations. It was not until mid-May that the two regimes determined the style and purity of the new coin, and minted it, that the three parties sat down again to negotiate and finally decided on a more reliable exchange ratio for mutual exchange.
It is ashamed to say that the coinage technology of the two countries with the name of the Han Dynasty is not as good as that of the Chinese Republic from the wild land of Wuyue. In the end, when they minted gold coins, three coins could be exchanged for two for others, and silver and copper coins were even increased to the level of two coins for one.
What's even more frustrating is the minting speed, which they actually don't know at all, they minted a batch of currency by themselves, and the Republic of China has studied and minted three batches, since it is exchanged, then the market will be flooded with the most currency in the future, and it must only be the new currency of the Republic of China.
Obviously, at this stage, there is no country that can stop the attack of the new coin! (To be continued.) )
