Chapter 167: Transfer Crisis
Song Hanzhang began to report on behalf of everyone: "According to the investigation for more than a year, we have estimated that the amount of silver dollars held in the entire Xiangxi region is about 200 million, and more is gold and other things. Therefore, it is indeed out of proportion for us to plan to issue 6 billion yuan of jihua at one time, but after you conquer Guangxi, we believe that even if Guangxi is poor, it will not lack the circulation space of these 6 billion. Therefore, we have to issue more than the original jihua, after all, the lack of money supply will also affect commodity trading, so we can't barter everyone! In addition, we plan to carry out this minting work in the Guangxi Copper Yuan Bureau in Wuzhou, Guangxi, which is the minting department in our jurisdiction. In addition, Mr. Frankie has already brought in the equipment and engineers for the minting from the headquarters of the Warby Bank, and the quality of the notes is not in question. ”
In fact, when the decision to issue paper money was made, Wang Zhenyu had two considerations: on the one hand, Wang Zhenyu needed money to maintain his government and a huge army that far exceeded the normal ratio of soldiers and civilians at the same time; On the other hand, according to Wang Zhenyu's ruling ideas, the development of commerce is the focus of the entire economic construction, so it is impossible to rely on the original silver dollar to achieve this. Without the silver dollar, a currency benchmark, many trades would be aborted, and barter would dominate the market. Under such circumstances, it is not nonsense to talk about the development of commerce, and it is necessary to replace the silver dollar with paper money and ensure the full circulation of market money.
Wang Zhenyu glanced at everyone: "You can issue additional money, don't worry about inflation, because our currency issuance is based on 35 million pounds, and at the same time, there are almost four or five billion silver dollars as the basis, and everyone has to consider the value of the actual property." So don't say six billion, even ten billion, our market won't fluctuate much. And here I can announce to you the good news, next, we will build a model city with the Principality of Luxembourg in Liuzhou, as well as a large heavy industry. The future development prospects are very optimistic, so don't say 6 billion, even if it is set at 20 billion, with this 10 million population, I think it is okay, per capita is only 2000 yuan, what we really have to worry about is the difference in product profits caused by the gap between urban and rural areas. Of course, you can't smash so much money at once, if you smash it all at once, your reputation will be ruined, and the money will be like waste paper. So my opinion is to enter the market in several phases through some infrastructure, so that the impact will be much smaller. At the same time, we must strengthen financial control, this in my jurisdiction, prohibit silver dollar transactions, cross-jurisdictional transactions, as long as there is a certificate from the Xiangxi Development Company, you can allow everyone to go to the bank to apply for special free exchange. Anyway, not a single ocean is allowed to circulate in my jurisdiction, and all people who enter and leave must be exchanged for paper money, and when they leave, they can be exchanged for silver dollars. Then the ticket is printed well, and the anti-counterfeiting work is solid, and I think there will be no problem next. You all know this well, don't mess up the errand, if you mess it up, I'm going to kill, you all go down, Mr. Frankie, please stay. ”
Frankie really thought that Wang Zhenyu was looking for him for something important, but as soon as Song Hanzhang and the others left, Wang Zhenyu said to Frankie with a face: "Dear Mr. Frankie, do you have the same plans in Belgium as Luxembourg, just immigrate to me." ”
Frankie rolled his eyes after hearing this, it seems that this Wang Dashuai has really benefited a lot from the Luxembourgers, and it is really laughable that he would make such a suggestion.
However, he still politely rejected Wang Zhenyu's kindness: "Dear Wang, Xiexie, your good idea, but we Belgians are different from Luxembourg's pocket country, we have a strong army, and we will fight in Zuihou for a moment to defend our sacred land." ”
Seeing that the other party replied so simply, Wang Zhenyu had no choice but to retract his suggestion stupidly......
It was another snowy day, and the first school day of the winter in Beijing fell from the sky early, and the ground was covered with thick snow. This will not be seen in the future generations, and the soldiers who dare to change the sun and the moon for a new day insist on keeping Beijing from snowing for seven years, what is the situation?
Families have long since closed their doors and warmed themselves around the stove. From time to time, you can see a starving person on the street, or the quality of the people in Beijing is good, and no one is angry when they starve to death at the door, calmly, completely ignoring that it is actually Chinese who die outside. The people who collected the corpses were pushing the cart with difficulty to collect the corpses, and these corpses would be sent to the Zuoren Zhuanghua corpse to be transformed, and they would really be clean and clean.
The number one public servant in Jurentang didn't care about his master and starved to death, anyway, there were too many masters, and the dead ball was a dead ball, and he was still hiding the things he wanted to worry about.
There were four stoves in the spacious Juren Hall in one go, but they still couldn't dispel the chill in President Yuan's heart, but instead made his body feel tired from time to time.
After all, Lao Yuan is in his fifties, and he was busy suppressing the Second Revolution in the past few months and failed to recuperate his body and bones. At this time, we have to think about this terrible state affair, how can you make our President Yuan Da not upset.
Looking at Yuan Shikai sitting in the big seat, Prime Minister Xiong Xiling, Yang Du, Xu Shichang and others are also silent, how many years of bureaucrats, the top has not spoken, and I still understand the rules that I had better not open my mouth indiscriminately.
"Alas" Listening to the wind whistling outside the door, Yuan Shikai involuntarily sighed again: "It's all my own people, I will also say something from my heart, don't look at me Yuan How I am now in front of this president, in fact, I am also a stomach full of bitterness and difficulties." This so-called second revolution was suppressed by our bullets, we won the war, and the chaotic parties in the south also gave us a beating, and it seemed that the whole country was also reunified. But guess I'm going to have a better time? ”
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Yuan Shikai said to himself again: "It's not good, old people!" Where is the problem of this bad situation, not in the chaos of the party, nor in the small roles of those few border areas, but in our Beiyang itself. Look at it, it's only been a few years, and those who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, and those who support the army and respect themselves, have all come out. The soldiers all want to be promoted and make a fortune, and they are busy taking concubines, and a few of them want to help my old Yuan put the world in order. All TM bastards, there are Easterners and Westerners forcing us outside, here are these eight calves playing tricks and playing with flower guns, you say, what's going on? ”
Yang Du was still not reused by Yuan Shikai during this time, but he took another line, that is, Yuan Shikai's eldest son, Yuan Keding.
Yuan Shikai is also a character, in the former Qing Dynasty, in the spirit of self-defilement, several of his sons were also sent to the yamen to listen to errands. After the Republic of China, he immediately cleared himself, and in order to avoid suspicion, his sons did not give him a single errand.
But he doesn't have ideas, it doesn't mean that his sons don't have ideas. It's only been a few days since the Qing Dynasty ended, no matter what Yuan Shikai himself thinks, in the eyes of outsiders and even his sons, he is the emperor. After the Second Revolution, losing the Kuomintang as an opponent who could fight with him at the national level, Yuan Shikai also began to involuntarily slide towards this reactionary road.
Yuan Keding went to Germany to treat his leg injury, but the injury was not cured, and he brought back the idea of advocating the imperial system, and what he advocated just hit his weakness, and the people below were disobedient.
People born out of the bureaucracy are still afraid of imperial power in the final analysis, so Lao Yuan simply attributed the disobedience of the people under him to the fact that he was not the emperor, and this idea is not wrong.
But people can't use yesterday's thoughts to do tomorrow's things.
But this will be in Jurentang Yang Du doesn't care so much, his future completely depends on Lao Yuan's joy and anger, naturally he wants to say what Lao Yuan wants to hear: "President, contemptible people think that the problem lies in this system, the current system is **republic, there is no authority, and the people below naturally have their own ideas and ideas." This fully shows that the so-called ** republic does not conform to China's national conditions, and it is completely a fake made by Sun Cannon and others who were bewitched by foreigners. Contemptible people think that our country is still suitable for the imperial system, please think twice. ”
Lao Yuan was naturally happy when he heard this, but his face did not show half a point. At the same time, he also glanced at Xiong Xiling and Xu Shichang from time to time to see what these two political bigwigs meant.
It's a pity that these two are also old and sophisticated, and they can't see half of the things coming out of their faces, Yuan Shikai can only sigh silently, wave his hand at Yang Du and say: "This is far away, let's see what we should do next in Beiyang!" ”
Yang Du couldn't hear the meaning of these words, his thinking was very fast, and he immediately switched to local issues: "President, this humble position also has ideas, you look at this picture, except for the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Xiangxi, and Guangxi, they are all controlled by the army of the president's descendants." With the promotion of status and other reasons, some ideas are not unusual, the key is that we can control them. But I looked at the information below, and I won't mention the chaos in Sichuan, this Yungui Cai Yi and Wang Zhenyu of Xianggui are the masters of one side, so I have to guard against it! ”
When Premier Xiong Xiling, who had been silent, heard the words "have to be guarded", he immediately shouted in his heart......
