373: Self-centered
After returning to the Imperial Bank, Yan Weifan locked himself in his office and instructed his secretary that no one was allowed to go in and disturb him until he came out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What happened last night and today made Yan Weifan's heart surge, and even after coming out of the barracks, Yan Weifan's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time, so he took over as the president of the Imperial Bank?
Happiness came so fast that Yan Weifan didn't react at all.
Yan Weifan is indeed a financial expert, whether it was after following the Qiao family or defecting to the country, Yan Weifan's ability cannot be questioned.
Recently, Qiao Lao's physical condition has been getting worse and worse, which has also made a lot of rumors in the bank, and even, several other vice presidents have been actively operating this matter, in their opinion, although this is a new empire, it is still difficult to escape human relations, the customs formed over thousands of years are not at all something that an empire can change in just a few years.
Yan Weifan also wants to operate, at least with his current status, if he adds Qiao Lao's recommendation, Yan Weifan will still have a great chance of winning.
However, after thinking about it again, Yan Weifan still did not run for relations, but put his heart firmly on the matter of monetary reform. When it comes to the governor of the Imperial Bank and monetary reform, one is good for private individuals and the other is great for the country, and Yan Weifan finally chose the latter rationally.
What Yan Weifan didn't expect was that the position of president of the Imperial Bank fell on his head quietly, especially when Wang Shizhen talked to him last night, a sentence that was inadvertently revealed made Yan Weifan even more moved.
At that time, Wang Shizhen just mentioned lightly, people are doing it, and the sky is watching!
In a simple six words, Yan Weifan only felt some hope at that time, but he didn't expect to face the saint directly the next day and take over the position of president of the Imperial Bank.
Now, the letter of appointment has been handed over to Yan Weifan, this letter of appointment was written by the emperor in front of Yan Weifan, and the emperor's jade seal was personally stamped, and finally handed over to Yan Weifan in person.
With Yan Weifan's cleverness, he easily thought of Wang Sirui's purpose for doing this, he just wanted to tell the world in this way that as long as you have the ability and are willing to endure hardships, in front of those who like to be opportunistic, the former will always have an advantage, and the empire needs those who are capable and willing to endure hardships.
It is rare for the Emperor to trust himself so much, and to put such a big matter of monetary reform in his hands, and in any case, he must not let His Majesty down. Yan Weifan thought secretly in his heart.
Immediately, Yan Weifan turned up the information in his office, and the matter of adopting the gold standard system had been decided, but the emperor also made a request, in order to prevent someone from maliciously exchanging gold, which would lead to the collapse of the country's economy, so after adopting the gold standard, it was necessary to prohibit the circulation of gold as currency.
At the same time, we must also try our best to avoid the collapse of the gold standard for various reasons, but how to operate this, Wang Sirui did not say, Yan Weifan did not ask, as an emperor, he can think of these is already a Ming Jun of the ages, if the emperor can think of everything, then what do you want these officials to do?
In fact, the ban on gold as a currency was a response to the total collapse of the gold standard after World War I.
For a whole day, Yan Weifan was in the office thinking of a way, the empire does not have as much gold as silver, and after the currency reform, silver will also be completely abandoned, but as the central government, it is definitely necessary to protect the people, at least in this regard, it is impossible to let the people suffer.
However, the empire did not have much gold in its hands, so the amount of currency issued could not meet the normal exchange rate.
Then the only thing that can be done is to be forced to increase the exchange rate of gold and silver, and at this time the exchange rate of gold and silver is 1:40, if the new currency is issued according to 1 tael of gold 40 yuan, then one yuan is equivalent to one tael of silver, this is the best way to stabilize the current economic situation, but in this way, the funds in the hands of the empire will instantly shrink several times, and even economic regression.
Although the outflow of gold was banned, the impact was not negligible.
So is there another convenient way to do it? Now the empire does not have enough gold in its hands, but the people have a lot of gold, for no other reason, China has been popular for thousands of years to wear gold and silver, every household, even if it is poor, at least there is a gold ring or something, the amount of gold hidden in the people, the amount is definitely far more than the empire's inventory, and it can even be called the world's best.
After all, there are thousands of years of history here, which is the foundation of China.
So, if the empire can collect this gold at the lowest cost and use it as a reserve, then the imperial bank will release the exchange rate, but it will not allow the gold to circulate, and there is no circulation, then who will deliberately exchange the gold?
In this way, the empire only needs to be able to ensure that there is enough gold in its hands, can it completely break away from the restrictions of gold on currency?
The more Yan Weifan thought about it, the more he felt that if he could break away from the gold standard and open up a new system, and at the same time use gold as a reserve to appease the people, so that the people had enough confidence in the currency in their hands, and were self-centered, so that the imperial currency could stabilize at an exchange rate all year round, if it could succeed, even in the next few years, the empire's economy would affect the whole world.
If it does get to that point, what kind of influence will the empire have in the international arena? (Actually, it's far from that simple.,But the novel.,It's always going to be yy.,This is described in accordance with the development of the dollar.,Everyone knows what's going on.,Please forgive me if it's not in place.") )
Immediately afterwards, Yan Weifan wrote down his ideas in detail, and then after a month of revision, refinement, and several fierce discussions with his subordinates, this can be regarded as a preliminary plan.
As for whether this plan is feasible or not, the emperor's approval is still needed, so after Yan Weifan completed this preliminary plan, he immediately walked into the military camp with the plan and reported his new idea to Wang Sirui.
And when Wang Sirui saw this plan at first, he couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly said Isn't this the development plan of the dollar? Especially that self-centered positioning, once it can be successful, then in the future, no one will dare to engage in the empire's economy at all, why? Once the empire's economy collapses, then the countries associated with the empire's currency will also collapse, and the only thing they can do is to do everything possible to help the empire stabilize the currency, and only then will their losses be minimized.
At that moment, Wang Sirui immediately agreed to Yan Weifan's plan, and asked him to come up with a specific plan, and at the same time, in the name of the government, slowly collect some gold from the people, as for the rest, wait until the implementation of the currency reform, and directly use the new currency to buy.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, in 1905, the first anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Empire, this young and somewhat terrible empire, this year has set off a storm in the world, not only the Far East has been turned upside down, even distant Europe, there has been a faint trace of turmoil.
The Statistical Office under the Imperial Ministry of Finance is the busiest time at this moment, because according to the new regulations of the Empire, after October every year, the Statistical Office will begin to count some economic conditions in the country, October, November, December, three months of statistical time, at the latest January 1 of the following year, must produce the statistical data of the previous year.
Now the empire has used the Common Era system to calculate the fiscal year, but they prefer to call it the fiscal year statistics of the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, because the first day of each year of the Common Era system is the first day of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and the two are together, and they have long been fed up with the bullying of the West, so they are unwilling to use their chronological method to chronologically year, but choose the traditional chronological method.
After Wang Sirui came to power, he announced the era name as Jianyuan, and brought the era name forward to the day of the establishment of the empire, that is, January 1, 1904.
On January 1, 1905, the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Ren Tiangao, director of the Statistics Office of the Imperial Ministry of Finance, came to the barracks with the results of the work of the Statistics Office in the past three months, and Wang Shizhen, the Prime Minister of the Empire.
This is the place where the imperial high-level first reported to the emperor, and it will be the last place to report on official affairs, and the construction of Zhongjing is basically almost completed.
Because the building requirements are not high, they are not as gorgeous as imagined, and most of them are brick-concrete structures, using cement direct irrigation, so the speed of the project has more than doubled.
With the exception of some large departments with new offices that have not yet been completed, most of the other departments are already in the final stages of their work, and the next few months will be a time for greening, and then they can be relocated.
As a new palace, there are two palace complexes, one in front and one behind, and the rear is the living area, the scale is not large, there are only more than 100 houses with a size area of about 100 square meters, most of which are classified as palace guards, a palace with a scale of six or seven hundred square meters, that is Wang Sirui's bedroom. In front of it is a huge palace, where the emperor went to court.
Wang Sirui plans to move to Zhongjing after the Spring Festival, and other departments, as long as the office is about to be completed, have also made plans to relocate.
