Chapter 1480 Anton's Affliction (2)
"The second trouble of this Anton is this ......" Wu was taken out of his arms and placed on the desk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Jiu took a closer look and found that it was a standard five-baht coin.
Since the birth of the five-baht coin two years before the first emperor, its circulation has been expanding all over the world.
To this day, there are at least more than 450,000 five-baht coins in circulation all over the world!
In the Guanzhong and Sanhe areas, the five-baht coin completely eliminated the three-baht coin, the half-tael coin and all other private money.
Because of its lightness, beauty, and high copper content, it is widely popular and has become a hard currency recognized by the whole world.
Even within the Xiongnu, it is said that the five-baht coin was recognized and popular, and became the currency of trade between many tribes.
And now Wu was said that the five-baht money has become a big trouble for Anton?
Xu Jiu couldn't believe it!
Confucianism and Legalism are both opposed to money or at least have a negative attitude.
Confucianism believes that money is the root of all evil, while Legalism believes that gold and jade are useless, and only grain and cloth are the fundamental!
But the miscellaneous family does not see it this way, and in the thinking and theory of the miscellaneous family, money has always been neutral.
In particular, Xu Jiu and others have always believed that money in the hands of a gentleman can benefit the country and the people, and in the hands of a villain, it will cause disaster.
Even, there is an opinion in the Pyongyang Academy today that even if someone was a heinous villain in the past, as long as he became rich, he would start doing good deeds.
This is the so-called 'people are rich and then benevolence is attached'.
This led to the idea of people's prosperity, and the miscellaneous scholars at the Pyongyang Academy almost unanimously agreed that most of the problems in the world today lie in the poverty of the people and the hardships of life.
If it is possible to achieve that the cultivators have their fields, the old have something to rely on, and the young have something to rely on, every household in the world can rule a hundred fields with a narrow family of five.
Then, there will be no problems.
The Taiping society will also come, and the rule of three generations will naturally appear.
Therefore, the Pyongyang Academy is committed to enriching the people.
No matter what means are used, as long as you are rich, it is successful, just and moral.
Therefore, Xu Jiu looked at the five-baht coin and asked, "What does Brother Xian mean?" ”
"The money is too little...... Wu was looked at Xu Jiu and said, "The five baht coins circulating in the whole territory of Andong are no more than 150,000 ...... at most."
"And at least half of them will be brought back inland......"
"There are too few coins circulating in Anton, but people will need more and more coins...... Wu was playing with the five-baht coin and said in a deep voice.
Miscellaneous family is the most unshy about money among the hundreds of schools, and it is even a school that respects money.
In the era of the Pyongyang Academy, Wu Bei and others had an intuitive impression of the role and powerful ability of money.
Wu was taught seven disciples, and six of these seven disciples were people who had specialized in Anton's economics, especially finance.
When they went to Zhenban in Wu, they spent half a year going deep into the markets and grassroots in Pyongyang, Incheon, and Xinhua to extensively investigate and understand the wealth held by various strata of Andong and the circulation of this wealth.
Eventually, they jointly wrote a "Pingjia Treatise" and submitted it to the Yamen of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.
In this "Pingja Treatise", they come to the astonishing conclusion that Anton is short of money, and very short of money.
Unfortunately, the article did not attract much attention at the time.
Even many people feel that this is a joke!
How could Anton be short of money?
Anton is a place of ointment in the world, rich in products, and gathers the world's elites.
There is a young mansion outside, in order to buy Anton's specialty dried fish, whale oil, and whale bones, every day with five baht money in the world shouting.
There are 11 gold-rich ore rivers including the Jinsha River, with an annual output of tens of thousands of gold.
In the fifth year of Yuande, Canghai Jun took the Hao nobles to Yunyang Mountain in Qi to worship their ancestors, and hundreds of Hao nobles and officers, divided into eleven building ships, carrying a boatload of gold, silver, pearls, precious stones and a large number of other sacrificial vessels, landed in the port of Jiaoxi Kingdom.
The whole Qilu was stupefied.
The big dogs, holding gold and not looking like gold, made the world shake.
And Han Wang Xuanzhun, when he married a daughter to the Korean monarch, just for the dowry, he gave away 10,000 gold in gold, 3,000 Japanese slaves, 2,000 silk horses and a whole piece of land of 100 miles.
As for now, the big dog families all over Andong are even richer.
The people of Wuheng once raised a peerless fierce dog, which caused a sensation in the whole Anton.
In the end, Tang Yi waited for the prince Chen Xu to spend a lot of money and bought the fierce dog.
A dog can be sold for a thousand dollars.
You told me that Anton was short of money?
Let's be funny!
But Wu was known that his disciples were not wrong.
At this moment, he looked at Xu Jiu and explained: "Anton is rich, not rich......"
"On the contrary, if measures are not taken, Anton will face a great difficulty......
"Hmm......" Xu Jiu couldn't understand, isn't being rich just rich?
Wu was holding the coin and said slowly: "Anton is not as good as China, the land of China, in addition to the five baht coin, there are three baht coins, half two coins and all kinds of miscellaneous money......"
"And Anton Xinli, in the old years, there were no coins, when the general of the Che Cavalry set Anton, the whole territory of Anton, but there were only tens of millions of three baht coins, half a tael, and most of them were in the hands of Wei Rebellion......"
"When I came to Andong as a Chinese citizen, the five-baht coin also came into circulation......
"In the past six years, the Shaofu, as well as the sons of merchants and liehous, have brought a large amount of five-baht money......
"However, even so, the coins in Andong are very small compared to the population of Anton......"
"In the land of Andong today, there are three thousand miles of mountains and rivers, and there are millions of people of Han, Han, Zhenfan, Fuyu, Xianbei, and Wuheng, but its five baht is only more than 100,000 yuan......"
"On average, hundreds of ......dollars per person"
"Today, Anton has one stone of rice, forty-five dollars, hundreds of dollars of salt, more than two hundred dollars of dried fish, and one pound of iron is worth more than ten ......."
"Didn't the Governor see the problem?"
"Wu Andong, with a yield of four stones per mu and rich products, but its money is small, which is not enough to stabilize the price ......"
"I'm afraid that if my brother doesn't know about the harm, something will happen sooner or later......"
Xu Jiu listened, his eyebrows were also twisted, and he asked, "Is that really the case?" ”
He knew in his heart that nine times out of ten, that was about it.
"That's true!" Wu was nodding.
"But why hasn't it been going on for years?" Xu Jiu asked, if it is a fact that Anton is short of money, why has no one cared about it, and it has not even become an obstacle to Anton's development?
"Because, there is a ...... between the Reclamation Regiment and the Jinsha River," Wu was said calmly.
"The Reclamation Regiment, with nearly one million immigrants, are all self-sufficient, and the surplus grain and wealth produced are all transferred to Shaofu......" Wu was patiently explained.
The Reclamation Mission is not only the anchor of Anton society, but also the anchor of Anton economy and finance.
It is like a huge sponge, constantly absorbing all the excess water, maintaining society, economy and finance.
However, the cantonment regiment will be gradually dismantled.
In fact, next year, the first cantonment regiment will appear to turn the army into a civilian population.
Although, the state has also been constantly building and establishing new reclamation regiments over the years.
However, in the final analysis, in the future, the speed of the reduction and dismantling of the cantonment regiment will be greater than the speed of construction.
What is more crucial is that as soon as the cantonment regiment is dismantled, a huge market for production and consumption will be released.
In the past, they have always been in a small circle controlled by the Shaofu and the Metropolitan Protectorate, as well as by the military.
Money is of no use to the reclamation regiment.
They can be self-sufficient in food, and they can produce and sew their own cloth.
Even the fish salt can be adjusted through the Shaofu and the Togofu.
There is no dependence on the outside world, and there is no need to spend and collect money.
However, when the day they cut off, they would sell their output to merchants and then use the money from the sale to buy the goods they needed.
What used to be a sponge is now a bottomless pit that is frantically devouring five baht coins.
It doesn't take much time to think, and a terrible conclusion is bound to come - deflation will occur in Anton.
Of course, today, the Han dynasty has no concept of inflation and deflation at all.
But without this concept, it does not mean that people are not aware of the harmfulness and seriousness of these things.
At least, in the eyes of the miscellaneous people, they are well aware of the terrible extent of this problem.
The people wanted to buy and sell their own products to pay their taxes and pay their services for all kinds of necessities.
However, there is a serious shortage of coins as equivalents in the market.
When the time comes, the price of five baht will be inflated.
A stone of rice in the mainland costs tens of dollars, and it may only be sold for more than ten yuan at that time.
But this is only the beginning, because Anton's trade with Qilu and Yanzhao is very close today, and the Andong people are very sensitive and good at looking for opportunities.
At that time, someone will bring money from China and buy Anton's grain, fish and salt cheaply.
At that time, Anton will become a big fat sheep, to be eaten and divided by all parties, both internal and external.
Anton's economy will collapse and even go back to primitive times.
The credibility of the five-baht coin will collapse, and people will vote with their feet, going back to the days of barter.
When Xu Jiu thought of this, he had a cold war all over his body.
Undoubtedly, once something like that happens, as the governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate, how can he explain to the Son of Heaven and the world?
At that time, he was afraid that if he wanted to bow down and step down, he would not be able to get it!
What's more, the Miscellaneous Family and Pyongyang Academy will also turn into powder in such a shock.
This is no joke!
How did Ruru end up?
Everyone knows it!
Now, Lu Ru has only been dead for a few years, and his death is still clearly visible and vivid, and even the corpse is very fresh.
All the sons and hundreds of schools and factions have studied the reasons for the destruction and decline of Lu Ru.
Although, on the bright side, Lu Ru suffered bad luck because he was disliked by the Son of Heaven.
But in fact, the big guys privately understand that the death of Lu Ru is due to the times and politics.
"In addition to the reclamation group, the gold diggers get every year also supports Anton's economic ......," Wu Bei continued: "Although this generation is vicious and cunning, he does all kinds of evil, and he is a trouble, but his gold rush has supported Anton's economic and social ......."
"If it weren't for the tens of thousands of gold per year of this generation, Anton would have collapsed today......"
Back then, the rangers and heroes came with golden dreams.
They fought in the wilderness, in rivers and valleys.
Someone succeeded, bringing back a lot of gold, and even a car load.
But many more are dying in barren mountains and glaciers.
The corpses were covered in ice and snow, and there was once a pioneer team of the Metropolitan Protectorate, who went up the river, and saw countless corpses that died in the ice and snow along the way.
These people are the victims of their dreams of wealth.
However, to everyone's surprise, these people who are perverse, free and loose, and do all kinds of evil eventually became the pillars of Anton's society and economy.
In fact, many people have become the pillars of the Pyongyang Academy.
At least 30% of the donations received by the Pyongyang Academy each year come from the donations of these rangers and heroes.
Today, more than ten sections of the Fujinsha River in Andong are still Shura fields and hells.
Armed rangers, on horseback and with bows on their backs, fought to the death for a short stretch of gold and even a small gold panning position.
They left their lives in the rivers and valleys, and exchanged them for countless tiny pieces of gold sand.
Both Confucianism and Legalism vigorously lashed out and condemned such waste of life and even corruption of morality for the sake of gold, which is a fundamentally useless thing.
But who knows, without these gold diggers, today's order in Anton would have collapsed long ago?
Without the gold they had panned for, the Andong Protectorate would not have even been established!
Even, there could not be today's Anton!
But......
Wu was looked at Xu Jiu and said worriedly: "The gold in the Jinsha River will not always have ......"
In fact, now, there is still a lot of gold in the various Jinsha rivers in Anton.
However, it is rare to find a section of the river that can be searched for gold without much effort as it was at the beginning.
The gold content of the two main rivers is declining.
Gold will be exhausted one day.
And, even now, with tens of thousands of gold years old, in essence, the role that these gold production can play is declining.
Because, the population of Andong is constantly increasing.
In particular, once the cantonment regiments were massively dismantled, the 100,000 and 200,000 middle class was released.
One carelessness, Anton's economy will collapse!
Wu Bei and Xu Jiu have both seen in books how miserable a country or region with an economic collapse, especially a financial collapse, can be.
There is Guan Zhong in the distance, and he uses the power of weight to make the Chu State bow its head.
Recently, Emperor Gao made pod money, and the economy of Guanzhong collapsed, 3,000 yuan of stone rice, and the tragedy of the people changing their children and eating!
But this problem, for Anton, is unsolvable.
Wu was once thought about countless days and nights, but he couldn't think of a solution to the problem.
Because, in today's Han family, even if you count the past three baht coins, half taels, private money, etc., the total circulation plate is only more than one million, and at most two million.
And now, Shaofu is desperately recovering all kinds of old money and recasting it.
At the same time, look for copper ore everywhere.
However, the total amount of money minted in the year has been hovering around 100,000.
Last year, even a year, only 50,000 were minted.
The money shortage is not only happening in Anton, there is a similar money shortage in China.
This means that, in fact, the court is probably also worried about this matter.
This can be seen from the fact that the Son of Heaven gave gold and five baht as a reward.
