Chapter 315: The Gold Standard (Medium)

Hearing Lee Min Hyun's words, everyone finally knew that the gold standard was not so fun, and if it was not played well, it would be suicide. This is because Taiwan's national strength is much weaker than that of Britain and other countries, and although its military strength is not weak on the surface, it is completely weak in terms of economic strength and international status. However, Taiwan's economic strength and international status are weak, resulting in Taiwan's currency not being "hard". If Taiwan issues banknotes, it is still a question of how many people in the international community will recognize it at that time. Even if Taiwan itself admits it, whether the people recognize it is still a question? You must know that the Chinese people have been victimized by official paper money since ancient times, and this kind of lesson is painful. Therefore, the ancient Chinese people were skeptical of paper money.

In such a situation of skepticism about paper money, it is inevitable that they will not trust paper money very much. At that time, if Taiwan issues currency, those people will immediately turn around and come over to run, which is really not interesting. Even, if the British took out the pound sterling to exchange the banknotes of Taiwan, at that time, with the status of the pound as the world's first hard currency, it would definitely be many people willing to exchange it. If the British are willing to exchange Taiwan's currency at a proper premium, it will be a very large number of people, and no one will not exchange it at that time. And at that time, no matter how much currency Taiwan issued, the British would also "eat", so that Taiwan's currency would also be completely swallowed by the British. At that time, the British will definitely be able to control Taiwan's economy with the help of Taiwanese currency in their hands.

Even if the British play ruthlessly, then the British official can organize people to come to Taiwan to run on it, then I am afraid that Taiwan's gold reserves will fall into the hands of the British. At that time, I was afraid that Taiwan's issuance of the gold standard would not only not be able to effectively solve the economic problem, but would bring about great problems. In the end, Taiwan's economy will be controlled by the British, which is a very terrible situation. At that time, the British were a soldier who surrendered without a fight. If Taiwan implements the gold standard, the British prime minister will definitely open champagne at the Prime Minister's Office at No. 10 Downing Street to celebrate, because at that time, the huge economic power of Britain can be used to play Taiwan badly without using force. At that time. Taiwan has hundreds of thousands of troops, but in the end, they will be surrendered by the British without a fight!

"Lord Wang, in the final analysis, it is our economic strength and our international status that is too low. If we have enough economic strength. Neither the British can run on us, nor are we afraid of them. And if we have enough international status, I am afraid that we will be able to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people in Taiwan. And Taiwan is still a part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we cannot get rid of the influence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in terms of general righteousness, so our international status is still very low. Unless. Unless you are willing to be the emperor and build the country, you will always have a very low status in the world. Lee Min Hyun said.

"No, no, no, you can't be called an emperor, you can't be called an emperor yet. If once he becomes the emperor, then I'm afraid that foreign devils will also start to be happy. Wang Guorui hurriedly said.

In the end, Li Minxian immediately said: "Then we have no choice, if we use our economic strength, if we play the gold standard, it will be complete suicide!" ”

And everyone couldn't help but agree with Lee Min-hyun's idea, after all, if you play the gold standard, it will be suicide. Then don't play like this. However, Wang Guorui frowned, and then he began to think about how to solve this foreigner's conspiracy.

"Well, there you have it!" Wang Guorui said: "Actually, you have overlooked one point, and that is our identity. You only noticed the economic problems, but I didn't pay attention to the political problems. What we are doing is not a financial expert, what we are doing is a politician, an official, a state official. Officials are also the main politicians, and we don't have to follow the rules of finance. You should know what a country is. What is the basis of the process of a country. A country must have a territory, a people, and a government, and these three are the elements that make up a state. And the territory represents the space for survival. The people represent the basis of the composition, while the government represents the body that sets the rules and exercises the right to rule. Although Taiwan has not become a real country, it is also a country in a truly semi-independent state, and we have the right to make rules and exercise violent rule over Taiwan and the areas controlled by Taiwan. ”

And you may not be able to describe this rule-making method in words for a moment. What we call the right of the state to make rules means that it makes rules within the limits of its own land and people. And the people in our country, even foreigners, must abide by this rule. And this represents the executive power, the rule-making. And if outsiders come to us, they have to run according to our rules, and the rules of their own country no longer work. So why don't we try it and use our native rules to limit finance? ”

"And when we make the rules, when foreigners come to our land, even the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger is also lying down, and everything has to be done under our rules. And we have an old saying in China, that is, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in fact, it is implicitly referring to the role of this rule. Although the Ground Snake looks weak, they have the right to make their own rules on this territory, and once that strong dragon is on the territory of the Earth Head Snake, although his strong dragon still looks huge, it seems to be tied to a rope, and his strong strength cannot be exerted. And a strong dragon can't play out, and it is limited to a lot of strength. And the head snake with the help of the rule advantage of the head of the land, and then not only will not be limited in strength, but can increase the strength by three points, do you say that the head snake can also defeat the strong dragon? And since we can't be the opponent of the British in terms of financial and economic strength, then we might as well think about it from another angle, then we might as well put a rope on the British and other Western 'strong dragons', and they are putting a rope on the rope layer by layer. As long as we put the ropes on them, then they can't play their strength at all, so won't we be able to win easily? ”

"Isn't this, this a bit against the rules of the market economy?" Li Minxian said with some hesitation.

Lee Min-hyun is an international student who has studied the same way as foreign countries, and believes that the government should not interfere too much in the market and the economy. And everyone probably understands a lot of the theory that Wang Guorui said, that is, borrowing the coercive power of the government and then interfering in the economy. Wang Guorui's theory is to use the ruling power of the government, and then set up various sets of rules to make it impossible for others to operate normally. And then the strong dragon of the British is also tied up in this part of China, so they may not even have a lot of strength. However, Taiwan is different, and if Taiwan is on its own soil, it can exert more than 30 percent or even more of its strength by borrowing rules suitable for Taiwan's own territory. Even, the Taiwan government is a government, which is completely described in one word, that is, being both an athlete and a referee. If your opponent is stronger than you, then your identity as a referee can also play a role. whistle", then your opponent is not your opponent. And you end up winning the championship as an athlete, which is shameless.

However, although Li Minxian does not agree with this method, it does not mean that others do not agree.

"Lord Wang, this is a good idea, I think it is feasible. We need to make sure that our group can survive first, and then what economic problems do we have to consider? After all, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? If we Taiwan can't guarantee itself, then what is the importance of fair trade? Our government is always going to be dominant, not to let the economy rule our government in reverse. And according to your education, Lord Wang, although the economy is a pair of twins, no one can do without the other. Maybe in foreign countries, the economy is greater than the economy, but in our China's national conditions and history are different, so we should be more political than economic. Therefore, we must first ensure the government, and then we can guarantee the economy. So I agree with Lord Wang, you might as well set up more rules and regulations for gringos, then we can be invincible. In this way, we can completely implement the gold standard in accordance with the lì. Since we are a semi-independent country, we naturally need to give full play to our advantages to the extreme, so that we can rule most effectively, and then lead everyone to resist the invasion and colonization of foreigners. Ouyang Xuan said.

Many people took the initiative to nod after hearing Ouyang Xuan's words. After all, China is all about the bureaucracy. Although they are all international students, once they become officials, they naturally recognize the situation of the official system. How can it be permissible to let those merchant capitalists take away the rights that have already been obtained, and then they will be "anti-client-oriented" by the capitalists from the status of "masters"? In China, there are China's national conditions, so we can't blindly copy the situation of foreigners. China's official position has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be completely resolved within one or two hundred years. What's more, in a certain way, the official position is not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes it is better than the capitalists controlling the government. If the capitalists control the government, the ruling class is completely solidified, in the hands of the top conglomerates. And it is not a bad thing that the ruling class can effectively move under the official position, and the capable can go up and down.

"About this gold standard, I have a Jianyì!" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
