Lin Yuan continued: "Our country treats the dollar as a foreign exchange reserve in fact, there are endless troubles, which is equivalent to exchanging the blood and sweat of our people into dollars, as long as the United States prints the dollar continuously, it can trade in the international market and buy products from other countries, which is equivalent to the people of our country paying for the enjoyment of life by Americans!" In our time, the high standard of living of Americans is also derived from this! ”

Chen Fei thought for a while and asked, "That's not right, if it's really like you said, the Americans are printing dollars for trade, will other countries still trade with them?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course it will, everyone knows that if there is more currency, it will be inflationary, and the money will depreciate, but there is a process of depreciation, for example, if I print 100 million US dollars and trade with it, will you know that this money is money that has been depreciated?" Probably not, so you'll trade with me at the same price. ”

"When we finish our trade, I have taken away the actual wealth, and then you will find that the money has suddenly increased, because I am not only trading with you, so the price has risen, and the money is worthless, and when you buy things again, 100 million dollars can no longer buy the original 100 million dollars, so I secretly embezzled a part of your wealth, do you understand?"

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Although it's not very easy to understand, I still understand." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "That's good, in our era, the United States used this method to embezzle the wealth of the world, but in this era, the situation will be fundamentally different, we will take the place of the United States, and our currency will become the currency of the world!" At that time, only we can embezzle other people's wealth, and no one will ever come to embezzle our wealth again! ”

Chief of Staff Lei Yun heard Lin Yuan's words and said with a smile: "Comrade Captain said it very clearly, even I, a student of economics, am ashamed of myself." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Comrade Lao Lei is polite, the focus of our next step is to issue our own paper money, and we don't use gold and silver as reserves, the people trust us very much, and they should accept this kind of currency." ”

Lei Yun asked, "Internationally?" The amount of trade we have with foreign countries is not small, will they accept it? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I looked at the list of foreign trade goods that day, and found that 90% of the goods on it are unique to us, and only we can produce them in the whole world, so we force them to use our currency, if they don't use it, we won't sell it, see what they do!" ”

Lin Yuan continued: "Now there are only a few commodities in the world: ores, grains, textiles, chemical products, and in the future, there will be oil, automobiles, electronic products, etc., we have absolute advantages in these fields, and our long-term goal in the future is to occupy these markets, and when we occupy these markets, our currency will truly become the currency of the world." ”

"And this process will be extremely difficult, we take iron ore, oil and other mineral raw materials as an example, high-quality iron ore is produced in Australia and other places, oil in the Middle East, if we do not have these resources in our hands, then the products of these places will crowd out our products in the market, so we have to control the Middle East, Australia, South Africa and other major industrial ore producing areas in our hands! This process will inevitably lead to confrontation with the old European powers, and even the outbreak of new wars! ”

Everyone nodded with heavy faces, and Lin Yuan continued: "These are all long-term, our recent task is to promote paper money to the mainland, this process is not only to fight against the Qing court's old forces, but also to fight against foreign banks, so my next step is to go to Shanghai, which is now a veritable financial capital, and many foreign banks have their headquarters there, so I will go and sweep away those foreign banks that have robbed the blood and sweat of the Chinese!" ”

After Lin Yuan finished the opening, he discussed the issuance of currency with Lei Yun, and Lei Yun said: "After our research, we can use a dime to exchange for a copper plate, so that one or two pieces of silver is almost a hundred yuan, we let the people exchange it as soon as possible, and stipulate that copper, silver, and gold in the society are not allowed to circulate after May 1." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then execute it." ”

Lei Yun said: "We decided to call the newly issued currency the renminbi, it uses letterpress printing, color-changing ink and other anti-counterfeiting techniques, at least the people are impossible to imitate, so there is no need to worry about counterfeit money, but what pattern should we print on the coin?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I see that the portraits of various nationalities are printed on the front, and the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland are printed on the back, in short, it is something that reflects our Chinese culture." ”

Lei Yun nodded, and then said: "I'm still more worried about one point, that is, whether the people will accept our currency, there is definitely no problem in the Northeast, and Mongolia is the same, but it is difficult to say in the vast interior." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "As long as the merchants can accept our currency and agree to settle the goods in RMB, the common people will have no problem, there are ten major merchant gangs in China in this era, the most prosperous of which are the Hui merchants and the Jin merchants, the Jin merchants needless to say, after the Mongolian war, our relationship has been extraordinary, so they can accept our currency, as for the Hui merchants, I will go to Shanghai this time, and also meet the Hui merchants, so that they can accept the currency we issue!" ”

Lei Yun nodded, and then said: "Actually, you still have one person who can't get around, and that person is the Qing government!" What if the Qing government doesn't allow you to issue currency? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You can't help but look too highly at the government, the Qing government in this era doesn't understand banks and currency at all, do you see so many foreign banks issuing paper money, has the Qing government managed it?" ”

Lei Yun smiled and nodded, Lin Yuan came out of here and set off for Shanghai, on the way Shen Wanqing asked, "How do you plan to eradicate those foreign banks after you arrive in Shanghai?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "They can go on because there are Chinese people and businessmen, as well as some officials' deposits, and after I went, on the one hand, I spread rumors everywhere to make depositors lose trust in the banks, and on the other hand, we investigated these banks, found their faults, banned a few, and made an example of them." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "What can be wrong with these banks that you can ban them?" If they're not wrong, you can't force them out. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, I've already thought about it, if they are not wrong, I can also find fault with them!" On March 15, Lin Yuan arrived in Shanghai with a group of people, and when he came to Shanghai, Lin Yuan first went to the Northeast People's Bank to inquire about the distribution of currency, the Northeast People's Bank is located in the center of Shanghai, next to the building of Zhang's Industrial Company, the building is like a palace, very magnificent.

Lin Yuan came in and found the president, who was also a master of economics in Beijing, named Xie Ning, and when he saw Lin Yuan's face, he said anxiously: "Captain, you can count it, our currency distribution situation can be regarded as miserable!" ”
