Daqin women's brand, best-selling in Rome.

When the Roman husband returned home, he was furious to find that half of the family had lost his wealth.

However, when the wives put on Daqin stockings and walked out with a great omen, they immediately forgot about the money.

According to incomplete statistics, a year after Daqin began dumping women's products in Rome, the population of Rome skyrocketed by millions of babies and young children waiting to be fed, accounting for 10% of the population. At this time, the Romans suddenly realized that they did not have enough money to support them.

For many years, the Great Qin maintained a huge trade deficit with Rome, which came from traditional porcelain, silk, tea, and even more thanks to Qin Feng's ideas and daily products. For example, Daqin cigarettes, such as stockings and high heels. These, again, are consumables that need to be purchased constantly.

As a result, a large amount of Rome's wealth flowed into Great Qin.

Daqin became rich, and the Roman nobles suddenly found that they had a lot less money, and the Roman nobles who smoked people's fat and people's ointment naturally raised taxes. The peasants don't have much money in the first place, and this tax increase makes it even more moneyless. And the aristocracy intensified in order to maintain a luxurious life. In many places, peasants revolted, and Rome began to unrest.

At the beginning of 219 A.D., the royal palace hill of the city of Rome, the main hall.

The Roman maids all wore high skirts, small suspenders, and bewitching, all wearing high heels and stockings, and a fierce cover. The Roman guards, all vigilant, their eyes only rolling around on the inadvertently exposed beautiful legs and mountain peaks.

Compared to the happy work of the guards, the upper echelons of Rome have collectively lost their hair.

The Triumphant Emperor Severus was in a state of anxiety because his treasury ran out of money and could not pay his military salaries. It was even more impossible to restore the military power before the war with Great Qin. Especially the Navy.

"How can there be no money and less taxes. What's going on? Severus shouted to his chancellor, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sempronius. Tiberius roared.

Tiberius wiped the golden sweat from his forehead, as his hair was coated with gold dust. Those who remained were all Golden Khan, and said: "Your Majesty, the money in the hands of the people is reduced, and according to the previous tax collection, it will lead to bankruptcy, and it can only be a tax reduction." However...... However....... ”

Severus shook his head, and a lot of gold dust was sprinkled with curly gold, his white face turned red, and he said hideously: "But what, say! ”

Your Highness. First Patriarch Marcy. Antonic and the "Glory Blood" Caesar, Octavian, Pompey and others looked at each other and remained silent.

Seeing that they were not helpful, Tiberi could only say: "The salaries of the army and officials have not been reduced, so ...... Money is getting scarcer. ”

Severus scratched the curly gold, and flicked the sleeves of his robe. He also knew that the army and officials were the foundation of his rule over the country, and he could not afford to do so, otherwise he would be in chaos. He caught the point, "people's money." How can it be reduced for no reason. ”

At this time, the first elder Antonic finally spoke, bowed down and said, "We can be sure after research. It is the trade of Great Qin for many years. Great Qin brought gold and silver back to their country, and our country had less money. ”

The Romans at this time were not as shrewd as the Westerners of later generations. They can't be explained by the twisting theories of post-generational economics, but they are also able to figure it out in their consciousness.

The merchants of Great Qin used the unequal treaty signed with Rome, the Persian Gulf Treaty, to frantically export goods to Rome. Daqin items are practical and novel. The Romans were willing to buy. In turn, the Great Qin, with its huge territory, hardly needed to buy goods from Rome, except for individual raw materials.

Therefore, the Great Qin of the Hongwu Emperor is like a Pixiu, only entering and not leaving. And the world is left with only two empires, Great Qin and Rome. In this way, only in and out, the amount of gold and silver used as money circulation in Rome naturally decreased.

If Severus hadn't owned most of the gold and silver mines, he would have gone bankrupt by now. However, it takes a long time for precious metals to be produced, and if it continues, bankruptcy is a matter of time. When the time comes, wages will not be paid, the army will riot, the officials will run away, and the rule will be over.

At this time, Severus was frightened, but he got up again, brandished the "Blade of the God King", and scolded angrily, "Despicable Emperor Hongwu, I want to tear up the Persian Gulf Treaty and expel ...... No, capture the Great Qin merchants and reclaim the wealth of the empire! ”

"No, no!" Old Antonic knelt down at that time and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the army is not ready, and the navy has not yet been built. If war is declared on Great Qin, Great Qin's fleet will enter the Mediterranean ....... ”

Severus shouted angrily: "I have a huge imperial territory, what can the Qin army do even if it gains in the early stage? ”

Caesar walked out, he had the strategic bloodline of his ancestors, and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin army will definitely be mired in the quagmire of war." I, Rome, will win the final ....... ”

Severus smiled, however, with Pompey's words, it suddenly disappeared, and he only heard Pompey say: "The fire of war must be burning in Rome, and the Qin army is defeated, so it will retreat." But Rome at that time will be ....... ”

Yes, when the Qin army was defeated, the people left, and they recovered after a few years. And what about the devastated Roman proper?

"This is also the difficult ...... of the all-out war of the Empire." Octavian said earnestly: "Why did Emperor Hongwu agree to negotiate peace and sign a treaty? It's because he's not sure, he's afraid of getting in, and he wants to eat away at us little by little. Your Majesty, before you are sure of attacking the Great Qin mainland, you must not act rashly and give the Great Qin an excuse to send troops. ”

Tiberius said: "In some places, bartering has already begun. ”

When there was no money in the place, there was no money in the Roman court. Small people can barter goods, how can the court barter? The great Rome could not afford to lose this man.

The Triumphant Emperor was full of anger, and he was very eager to drive away the greedy Great Qin merchants, but this was bound to provoke the Hongwu Emperor. If Great Qin sends troops under the pretext of sending troops, Rome is not ready yet. People have taken advantage and left, and they have signed unequal treaties on their own side, so they will not have time to recover, and they will gradually lose their country.

The Emperor Triumphant did not make the mistake of "Lafayette" in later generations, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, shouting: "How is that good?" ”

Even the Roman guards lost interest in looking at the black silk heels, and their hearts were full of worries about the empire.

After a moment of silence in the temple, Caesar said, "You can increase the intensity of gold, silver, and copper mining, and speed up the minting of coins." Maintain the stability of the army and the government. ”

Pompey shook his head and said, "This will not be effective in the short term. ”

Severus said, "Yes." I'm about to be unable to pay my military salaries and salaries. My dynasty is about to fall....... ”

Severus, a wise monarch who ended a hundred years of civil war, quickly had an idea. Said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that Daqin opened a bank, issued paper money, and was very rich, can we learn?" ”

Octavian was the first to rejoice: "Yes, yes, issue banknotes, print them as much as you want." ”

The ancients didn't know too much about the rules of finance, let alone inflation. I only knew how to print as much as I wanted, so everyone celebrated with their crowns and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise, this is a good way." ”

As a result, Severus issued an edict to reform the monetary system and henceforth use paper money. Rome is a country with a thousand-year-old culture. Severus copied from Qin Feng, and soon gathered a group of skilled craftsmen to come up with a banknote template that could not be imitated.

The banknote is printed with the head of Severus, because Severus's head is curly gold. Afterward. In order to compare with Daqin's "Grandpa Qin", everyone in the world is called "Sai Jinmao". As a result, the world had two early banknotes. One is the "Grandpa Qin" of Daqin, and the other is the "Golden Retriever" of Rome.

Later generations of researchers found after research. The workmanship of "Grandpa Qin" is exquisite, and the level of formwork has reached the peak level of handwork. Later generations of precision template machines could not be imitated. And the "Seviru" can only be said to have concentrated Roman craftsmen, and the rest of Rome could not prepare such resources, so it could not be imitated.

In this regard, Rome began to enforce paper money from the top down. And completely copied the banking system of Daqin, so as to issue and exchange huàn banknotes.

However, Severus soon ran into a great problem.

A month later, in the main hall of the royal palace, Severus summoned a meeting of the important ministers of the Senate. Since Severus had his feet on the Senate, he did not need to be like the previous dynasties, and he did not need the senate for everything. He only needs to gather a few of his henchmen and discuss it with him. The Senate had a "democracy" on its top, and in fact it had become the court of Severus.

"Your Majesty, the bank has been opened, but ......." Tiberius, who was in charge of finance, had a difficult way to tell the story.

It turned out that the Bank of Rome was opened very smoothly, and every town had it. It is also very smooth to pay the army and officials paper money wages. But soon things didn't go well, and when the money was taken out, the common people didn't believe it and didn't accept it, so they still collected gold, silver and copper coins in private.

The army and officials complained and demanded that the banknotes be exchanged for gold, silver and copper coins.

Qin Feng, a modern person, searched his stomach and studied with elite talents for how much time did he come up with the Great Qin monetary system. How could the Roman ancients be able to copy lightly? The Romans, still not quite understanding the modern economy.

Rome was able to learn all the hardware, but not the software of Daqin. The fundamental reason why Daqin was able to successfully issue banknotes was that the value of the currency was supported by the currency standard system successfully established by Daqin, and the people were willing to use it.

At the root of this is the personal prestige of Emperor Hongwu. In tens of millions of square kilometers of land, everyone worships Hongwu Emperor fanatically, which is the foundation of the implementation of Daqin banknotes. Although this is different from the credit standard of later generations, it is also a credit standard, and it is a credit standard system with the characteristics of the Great Qin, or the characteristics of the Hongwu Emperor.

In later generations, after the disintegration of the world's gold standard, the credit standard was used, and the stability of this standard system has been verified.

Daqin's monetary policy is the credit standard, and it has found the standard support. However, Roman paper money had no standard support at all, and thirty percent of Rome were slaves, sixty percent were foreign commoners, and there were very few Roman citizens. Between the three, between the inside, there is a lot of mistrust. There is no trust, which makes people how to believe in the paper money that suddenly appeared, and it is normal not to use it.

Severus was anxious, "The people don't believe it, what should I do?" ”

Needless to say, Antonic, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, had experience, and he came up with an idea that could support Roman banknotes. (To be continued......)
