Chapter 33: The Distinction between Gold and Bronze
And the artificial introduction of "immigrants from the other world" will self-destruct the Great Wall to break the handle of this knife in the country, and the blade of the knife in the other world will be actively broken.
This is one of the reasons why Elta will never bring in immigrants now or in the future. Unless immigrants voluntarily join the side of the scissors – yet we all know how far apart the standard of living and costs at home is compared to Elta.
And the dual-track system, we all know the ending. Isn't it strange that naturalized Elta people are treated more than the natives of Elta? Okay, first-generation immigrants may be able to pinch their noses and do this, but what about second-generation or even mixed-race immigrants? Is it going to be a repeat of the ridiculous comedy of the wild boar skin dynasty who raised a bunch of hands that were good for nothing but a mouth and a pair of birds and insects?
Of course, the products on the shelves in Mendong City are nothing more than the cost of superimposing the cost of rail transportation on top of the cost of the item itself.
For example, a flower skirt ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, a plate of dumplings only costs five yuan, and a can of soda only costs two large steel hammers...... From this end of the portal, it's certainly cheap – but what about the actual situation?
According to the average price of gold at 250 yuan/gram, now 8 grams of bi-monthly gold coins can be stably exchanged for about 32 yuan of temporary coupons or RMB in Mendong City - but the actual value of a bi-monthly gold coin will reach at least 2,000 yuan after passing through the door!
Regardless of the indirectly high returns from advantageous currencies and precious metals, simply finding a way out and being able to land smoothly for industrial products – the scissors gap between industrial and agricultural products now, and the scissors gap between precision industry and basic industry in the future – can make people feel that wealth is constantly pouring out of the portal......
In fact, elves are old ...... Mademoiselle Ramaherdi guessed exactly the correct answer. Since the Bimoon World has been unable to step into the stage of modernization for a long time, it is natural for visitors from the other world to help this world approach their own level on the basis of fattening themselves. And at what cost? It's much smaller than the tens of millions of lives that countries have been falling into the trap of population circulation, right?
However, this path is indeed the most beneficial solution for both sides at the same time - the portal is not a direct border, and the territory border that can provide unlimited transportation space and maneuver space, so the development of the Otherworld will ultimately have to be carried out by the Otherworlders themselves. For them, it is possible to get rid of ignorance and re-realize the value of the individual and the concept of equality...... Maybe none of this is important, it may be enough to be able to stand up straight and be a person, and to be well fed and clothed......
If someone were to get into Elta or the Church of the Two Moons, he would be angry at the silent economic aggression on this side of the planet - but what could he do? Encourage the Elta to stop using toilet paper and use stones or bark to wipe their butts? Or call for "entering Mendong City, one female student per person"?
Yes, that's right. is different from a conspiracy that can lose its effectiveness by breaking it, this is a yang conspiracy, a thorough yang conspiracy. In front of Yangmou's steamroller, whether it is the keyboard strategist who is full of food on the side of the portal, or the exiled landlord on the other side of the portal who is dissatisfied with the stripping of land ownership in Mendong City, how much can it make waves?
Of course, the natives of Elta and the invaders of the Church of the Two Moons can also see this problem. In the months since the truce on the border, the trade routes across Cierta have begun to gradually resume...... A steady stream of gold coins flowed in from all over the country, and then turned into truckloads of goods in exchange for more wealth outside...... But the total amount of gold coins has basically remained the same, and now that a large amount of gold coins have been transported to the other side of the portal to become gold bricks, what will happen to the already scarce currency?
Offy Mondrich had just enjoyed himself with Passagno at noon, and in the afternoon he had to face a sea of cases...... Unlike other documents and reports on military and government affairs, a report with two emergency seals was placed directly on his desk. At this time, Eufae Mondridge was still on his way back to his hiding place...... The urgency of the person delivering the report to show him what was going on shows the importance of this matter.
Underneath the two red seals is the words "Notice of the New Minting Currency of the Southern Metropolis......
With a bang, the door of the hiding room was pushed open from the outside, and the director of the Western Expeditionary Army, who was already impatient to take off half of his formal clothes, signaled to personally escort the soldiers to retreat outside, and walked into the study in a hurry, and Elena immediately sent a glass of cold drink.
"My dear, just now the representative of the Chamber of Commerce of the Southern Metropolis Alliance has sent the document, and the other party will be the first to let you see everything......" She put down her drink, took away her lover's formal clothes, and then withdrew.
"Newly minted currency?" Are the towns south of Elta no longer holding out? Odd Mondridge felt something was wrong. Could it be that the dumping of Chinese goods has made it impossible for gold and silver coins on the market to even hold themselves?
With such doubts, he slowly let go of the filament-bound notice. It is said that it is a text that informs him of the results, but in fact this thing is more like a negotiation.
The Unlord Alliance, which consisted of fifteen cities in the south, was on the wrong side at the beginning, and now it can only join the side of the Western Expeditionary Army by mistake. The alluvial fan plains brought by the Episison River are blessed with unique conditions, so although the economic strength here is not as deep as that of Hirzi, there is no problem in winning the second place.
And as Ouffer Mondridge's first impression worried. After the relaxation of the export of low-end goods and the opening of high-end goods, and the armistice on the front line of the Western Expeditionary Army, the originally tight money is now difficult to support the internal circulation of the southern metropolis......
As he read deeper line by line, he could imagine just how serious the problem was at this point. And the fact that it was already tight, through the pen description of the senior businessman of the Chamber of Commerce, Eufe Mondrich, who did not know much about economics, frowned.
Due to the lack of gold and even silver coins, the circulation of goods in the Chamber of Commerce has to be carried out through the tickets issued by the Chamber of Commerce through its own guarantee, and this kind of empty voucher is of course not easily acceptable to people who look like IOUs. And this ticket is obtained when the merchant sells goods, and the ticket can only be circulated in the same chapter of the corresponding same Chamber of Commerce. The merchant was restricted from buying other goods locally...... This can be seen as another form of credit money, but unfortunately, the current colleagues of the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce of South Elta are not smart enough to maintain the credibility of this "currency". So correspondingly, they had to reduce the circulation of such tickets.
This can be said to be a kind of progress, if the Chamber of Commerce can work anti-counterfeiting and capital reserves, then it is a blessing, not a curse...... And Offe Mondridge can only see the critical situation of the whole Elta - except for the West Elta from the adaptation of the Chamber of Commerce.
It wasn't that South Elta lacked currency, but that prices on the land he directly controlled began to skyrocket. In order to collect less and less precious metal money, it is naturally impossible for merchants to lower their profile to stimulate consumption - rich people have long since invested all their money in the whirlpool of Chinese goods.
The merchants had to work on flour and even lower wheat bran. Instead of becoming unsalable, the price of wheat bran, which has been raised several times, has become food for the poor. Last year's war in Elta brought economic turmoil and pushed large numbers of families into poverty – although the increase in flour was modest, they could no longer afford the burden of flour. In order to survive, they had to buy wheat bran, which doubled in price – making them even less able to afford flour or even meat, and they had to eat wheat bran all day long...... Just like the Great Famine in Ireland in 1845, the southeastern Elta people once again verified the famous Giffin antithesis with their standard of living and even their lives.
In the face of this crisis, the managers of the city of El El Sul and the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce came up with the answer from the perspective of business practitioners to reforge the monetary system outside of Cierta. Having planned to mint a large number of Erta copper coins, they found a number of problems that had to be solved by the great master who was fighting against the west, even though they had prepared the molds and copper materials.
First, the inflow of bi-monthly gold coins must be abolished. Uffey Mondridge nodded, it was still difficult for the residents to exchange the "equivalent" of one silver coin in their pockets for ten copper coins, let alone the global "hard currency" of the bimonthly gold coin. However, his efforts to collect gold from the outside world will not stop, and he will only throw it directly into Cierta in exchange for more goods. This is also the persecution of Sielta, whether overt or implicit, and he cannot refuse.
Second, the Western Expeditionary Army should use force to defend the circulation of small-denomination Elta copper coins in the control area...... Needless to say, in the past, monarchs would always ask their subordinate armies to defend them by force when recoining their coins (usually to reduce the gold content).
Third, the Western Expeditionary Army must take the lead in using ...... in the control area
A cloud of suspicion drifted over the head of the director of the Western Expeditionary Army. When he minted counterfeit copper coins before, he had never seen a single one return to the East Market...... And today, if the Southern Metropolis Alliance wants to mint copper currency, will it still fall into this maelstrom like him?
He frantically pushed his chair away and began pacing around the room. That's right, he made enough profit from casting fake pentagrams from copper - it can be said that without fake pentagrams, there would be no half of the magic spear team, and there would be no stable position for him now. But this matter is different if it is replaced by casting Elta's own small copper slots, if the other party does not accept the counterfeit and shoddy products cast by the Western Expeditionary Army because the workmanship is too similar, or the amount of money collected is large - then it will be proved:
The value of those copper materials is higher than the face value of the pentagonal!
Ouffel Mondrich couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He should have thought of it a long time ago.
