Chapter 314: The War Against Money
Little Bie is newlywed.
Li Weiguo fooled around outside for half a year, and brought back three delicate Southeast Asian girls, which naturally caused the harem beauties to vomit sour.
As a last resort, Li Weiguo had no choice but to give himself a three-day vacation, honestly hand over the imperial grain, and comfort the resentful women in the harem.
Today, all the undertakings of the empire are on the right track, with Li Weiguo, a powerful emperor, on the throne, the young people of all parties naturally dare not dare to be nervous, and honestly implement the policies and regulations formulated by the imperial government.
The empire's industry is developing rapidly, its economic achievements are refreshing last year's year-on-year historical data, and its national income is increasing, and it is a scene of prosperity.
All these achievements are attributed to Li Weiguo, whose wisdom and martial arts have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cannot be shaken.
Both at home and abroad, they are praising China for another era of prosperity and prosperity, and it is named the prosperous era of China or the prosperous era of glory.
Han scholars compare the current prosperity of China with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in history, while the Manchu relics compare and praise the prosperity of the Kangqian era in modern times, and the two camps sprayed each other and quarreled for a period of time.
In the end, the Guanghua News Agency made the most authoritative and convincing conclusion about an interview report by Li Weiguo, the Emperor of Guanghua.
Whether it is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty or the prosperous era of Kangqian, it cannot be compared with the current prosperous era of China.
This is because the Tang Dynasty was established after the Five Hu Chaohua, the population decreased sharply, after the founding of the People's Republic of China population is only 8 million, but what is inherited is hundreds of millions of acres of cultivated land and other fixed assets that hundreds of millions of people have continuously cultivated since the Han Dynasty, hundreds of millions of people have accumulated labor wealth for more than 600 years, and a large amount of real money, silver, and copper coins will not disappear because of the war, and when the war is over, these wealth will be concentrated in the hands of the eight million people who survived. If such a huge wealth cannot create a prosperous era, it will be impossible to say.
For example, suppose that there were 100 million people before the Wuhu Rebellion, creating a wealth of 100 million mu of cultivated land and 100 million taels of silver, and an average of one mu of land and one tael of silver per person, this level is called food and clothing; But after the Wuhu War. The population is only 8 million people in the early Tang Dynasty, but 100 million taels of silver and 100 million mu of cultivated land that have been reclaimed will not disappear, so the average person can get at least ten acres of arable land and more than ten taels of silver, and the standard of living is ten times that of before, which is naturally called wealth, which is the so-called prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
In the same way, the Kangqian era was also built on the basis of the sharp decline in population after the massacre at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and inherited the total wealth created by China for 2,000 years, no matter who became the emperor. Even if you do nothing, you can create a prosperous Kangqian era.
But the prosperity of China is different, although China also experienced war before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population of 400 million plummeted to 200 million, but the wealth plummeted even more, the wealth left by the ancestors for more than 2,000 years was almost all lost by the Manchu government, and the indemnity was given to Britain 21 million Mexican Yingyang, which is equivalent to ten times the financial revenue of Daoguang, and the import of Yapian caused a huge outflow of tens of millions of taels of silver every year.
In the past, whether it was the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty or the prosperous era of Kangqian. The real money and silver and other wealth created by the ancestors were left in this land of China even if they were in war, and later dynasties could continue to inherit this inheritance. However, the Manchu losers gave all this wealth to the Western powers. It was not left to New China.
In the new China established by Li Weiguo, the primitive accumulation of wealth was regained from Western European and American countries through three ways: First, large-scale industrial construction on the surface, the export of arms and various commodities, and the return of silver from the hands of Western countries. The second is the covert circulation of illegal banknotes, which depreciates the currencies of European and American countries. Cash out real money with illegal banknotes and ship it back to China.
The third is the means of war, defeating Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries and obtaining war reparations.
Therefore, today's prosperous era of China is the real prosperous era. This is the prosperity created by the Chinese people through their own wisdom and hands under the leadership of Li Weiguo, not the rich second generation who inherited the inheritance of their ancestors, so the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous era of Kangqian cannot be compared with Li Weiguo's prosperous era of China, and the two are not on the same grade at all.
Li Weiguo's words have been widely recognized by the whole society, and the members of the Han nationality do not care, whether it is the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty or the prosperity of China, it is the glory of the Han nationality. But the remnants of Manchu and Mongolia are different, and the prosperous Kangqian era in their eyes was made worthless by Li Weiguo, which is really humiliating. It is a pity that they did not dare to refute it, first, because they were too poor to refute it, and second, they did not dare to provoke Li Weiguo's majesty, for fear of causing big trouble.
This is just an ordinary national controversy, but Li Weiguo found that he seems to have found new pleasure in arguing and studying some issues with the people, and it seems that he can continue to enlighten the people's thinking.
"It's a good feeling to be an Enlightenment thinker!"
Li Weiguo said this, he thought of the death of a certain big person in the future, CCTV will give him a large list of titles, what politician, military strategist, writer, thinker, revolutionary, poet, scholar, democracy fighter and so on.
"I don't know what name future generations will give me, it's better not to be a conspirator or something!"
Li Weiguo comforted himself, now many things only need to be handled by civil and military officials, so that he, the emperor, does not have to be as busy as before, which makes him a little uncomfortable, and he has to find something to do.
Early in the morning, Li Weiguo was doing morning exercises, and suddenly received a joint request to see Fu Xuexian, the secretary of the household department, Chen Jingnan, the secretary of the criminal department, and Li Ciming and Wang Yirong, the left and right attendants.
"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department and the Customs Department respectively smashed an illegal gang in the mainland and an overseas smuggling gang a few days ago, and seized a large amount of RMB banknotes.
"Your Majesty, the minister has also recently received reports from several local bank managers that they have found counterfeit renminbi."
Chen Jingnan and Fu Xuexian successively reported that they both pointed out a problem, that is, the appearance of counterfeit renminbi currency.
Li Weiguo was very surprised that someone dared to forge the renminbi and call out to him, an expert on illegal banknotes.
"Have you caught the main perpetrator of the counterfeiting?"
Chen Jingnan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I was caught, but the main culprit confessed that they were also instigated by someone behind them, and the mastermind behind the scenes came from abroad, and I don't know my identity yet." ”
"Abroad?" Li Weiguo was surprised again, but he soon figured out that this was the beginning of targeted retaliation by the Western powers.
Previously, the British police almost traced the source of the illegal banknotes, but they have begun to suspect Li Weiguo, because more than ten years ago, the world's most exquisite RMB issuance was made by Li Weiguo, and it is very easy to counterfeit the pound pound to be able to create such exquisite banknotes.
However, the British government has not had conclusive evidence for a long time, and now that China and Britain are hostile, it is obvious that Britain has suffered a dumb loss of illegal banknotes, and wants to repay the other by importing illegal banknotes to China to attack China's economy and plunder China's wealth.
"Guan Gong plays with a big knife in front of him!"
Li Weiguo snorted coldly, originally planned to keep a low profile for a while, so as not to cause panic in the entire Western world, but now it seems that some countries can't wait.
Soon, Fu Xuexian handed over some counterfeit renminbi to Li Weiguo to take a look, the workmanship was very rough, as long as people who often used renminbi would find problems, such as paper and dyeing, etc., which did not meet the standards of real renminbi at all.
Chen Jingnan and Fu Xuexian both knew about the manufacture of counterfeit money, and they admired Li Weiguo's strength and courage, and they also knew that the huge power of counterfeit money could not only destroy the economies of Europe and the United States, but also cash out a large amount of money, and sweep away the wealth created by European and American countries for hundreds of years, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Now that the renminbi has been counterfeited, Fu Xuexian and others are naturally terribly afraid, worried that the European and American powers will also start to create counterfeit money to harm China's economy.
"Your Majesty, intelligence shows that European and American countries have also begun to use color money printing technology, and at present, major currencies such as the British pound, franc, and US dollar have been revised, do you see if we are ......?"
The road is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high, Li Weiguo understands this.
"It's good to revise the version appropriately and strengthen anti-counterfeiting, so leave it to the household department to deal with!"
Fu Xuexian was stunned when he heard this, and asked weakly: "Your Majesty, the craftsman of this household is ...... in this regard That ......"
Seeing Fu Xuexian's speech, Li Weiguo was also stunned, but soon he figured it out, and his feelings were to let him go out in person.
Li Weiguo suddenly smiled bitterly. (To be continued.) )
