It is not difficult to understand the concept of credit currency with national credit as the essence, not to mention Yisi, who has long thought about this aspect, but in a few words, in the process of operation, non-quantitative issues such as currency issuance and withdrawal have been clearly explained. And when Yisi was digesting and absorbing new knowledge and brewing new questions, Jiao Ming's thinking was to sigh that the crocodile leader magic warrior really had a tiger energy.

Looking back at the basic information of the Hongshan Kingdom, although there is no exact figure for the total population, it is roughly estimated that it should be in the early tens of millions, which is comparable to the New Bell Kingdom in terms of land area. In the face of such a behemoth, Ms. Zi Yu dared to take over the major task of being in charge of monetary reform with half a bottle of ink she learned from herself and two years of small-scale practice.

Considering the problems of the ongoing industrialization at hand, as well as the difficulties encountered by the various changes in the ancient Zhongguo, Jiao Ming had already concluded that this monetary reform plan would not go smoothly even with the full support of the king and several of the Nine Rings. The light is stumbling, the heavy is a few times, and no matter what, the human life as an embellishment is also indispensable.

I was shocked when I thought of this. These things can be imagined by themselves, and it is even more impossible for those big people to ignore them, so what does it mean to push Ms. Ziyu to the front line? Just as his face changed greatly, Jiao Ming heard Yi Si's faint question: "What did you think of?"

Jiao Ming froze, stared at Yisi's expressionless face, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"

"If you ask about the new monetary policy, it's not so urgent. Yi Si also stared at Jiao Ming's expression, word by word: "The next thing is the point." Are you going to wade into these troubled waters? As an ally in industrialization, please give me a clear answer. ”

"I thought about a few things, but I didn't expect more. Jiao Ming was silent for a moment, and finally said in a pleading tone: "If you really think of me as an ally, tell me everything you know and think." ”

The words 'I am an ally' carried a lot of weight, coupled with Jiao Ming's expression, Yi Si instantly understood the deep meaning, and had to be cautious. There was silence in the room, and after a long time, Yi Si finally slowly spoke: "Talking while drinking?"

"It couldn't be better. Jiao Ming called Luohua and ordered the wine and food to be supper. Within five minutes, coleslaw, fruit wine, and tables moved from the restaurant were in place. Yi Si was not polite, and took a big sip on the bottle, and the wine red quickly came to his face. "I remember telling you that I can't get off the ship of reformers. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Actually, I think that in my life, the most TM regret is to get on this ship of thieves. ”

"Huh. Although Jiao Ming knew from various details that Yisi was not a staunch bourgeois revolutionary, there was still a rather strange feeling to confirm his attitude.

After a few sips of wine and a few mouthfuls of food, Yisi was even more reserved and blew himself up, first expressing regret for going to Tro to receive the craftsmen who had surrendered fraudulently, and then expressing regret for presenting the industrial plan to the king, and out of loyalty and meritorious service, he swore to take over the order of industrialization from the king.

Hearing this, Jiao Ming was puzzled and continued: "In this way, the king still supports industrialization?"

"It's not about support, it's about being willing to give it a try. Yi Si corrected rather angrily, and then explained: "In all these days of managing those bastards in the factory, I finally understand the thoughts of those family masters and kings. If there are any new technologies and new solutions, of course, you have to give it a try, and if you have a good result, you will know people with your own eyes, and if you don't have good results, you will let the people who do things take the blame. Then do the lessons learned and wait for the next silly beep who is willing to give it a try in this area. ”

Although Jiao Ming is already a viscount, and there are many large and small factories in the territory, he does not need the advice of the people below in terms of technical research directions, business management methods, business decisions, etc., so he has not encountered this situation yet. But at this time, after listening to Yisi's straightforward words, it is not difficult to understand, and it is the same as the attitude of the royal family of the kingdom not long ago by hinting at the "Industrial Daily", and the first rat is just evading responsibility at both ends.

Then I remembered that when the attitude towards industrialization changed in the "Industrial Daily", Yisi actually proposed to himself to seek a "ticket" to run away, naturally considering that the consequences of betraying the blame would not be good. "That is to say, if there is no defeat in that external war, there is still a little bit of appeasement, and it becomes a pot of industrialization plan failure due to the shareholding game, you and I are determined."

"Hehe, of course it's okay to be obedient and stop in time. But you still wanted to change the soup but not the medicine at that time, I really pinched a cold sweat. ”

But confirming that these past events are not important, Jiao Ming put the newly served dishes on the table, and after the next person went out, he tried to bring the conversation to the point: "Then, according to your statement, this currency reform is the same." If something goes wrong or fails, the crocodile will take the blame?"

"This time the king has made it clear, and there are examples of successful monetary systems on the side of the crocodile territory, and the black cauldron is obviously not tightly buttoned. But I guess that although the specific situation may be different, the overall routine should not run. As he spoke, Yi Si opened another bottle of wine, handed it to Jiao Ming, and said, "We are allies, and you have an unclear relationship with the Crocodile Collar, so I need to know your attitude." ”

"If I want to help the crocodile ......"

"I will advise you, but if you can't do so. After a pause, considering that everyone is not stupid and will figure it out sooner or later, Yi Si still decided not to hide it at all: "I will consider it carefully, or I will take a gamble with you, or I will break off the relationship with you and choose another family that has made good progress in the industrialized reform faction." ”

"Hey, this is abandoning me, what about the friendship of allies?" Although he expected it, Jiao Ming couldn't help but complain.

"It's all about telling the truth. After the words fell, Yi Si saw Jiao Ming's strange expression, smiled as if he had succeeded in teasing, and continued: "I knew that this currency reform was not simple at first glance, and after listening to your explanation, I was even more confirmed. If it is a few outsiders who rely on the crocodile collar, it can be completed without making a big mistake, it is simply a dream. Even if you participate, it's not enough, and with me, it's useless. When the time comes, something goes wrong, and it's all over together. ”

This statement is reasonable, Jiao Ming can't refute it at all, but he is not reconciled, he took that information and read it carefully twice word by word, and finally found a point that can be used: there is no time limit. After confirming with Yi Si, he said solemnly: "I have an idea, you can listen to it." ”

"Come on, I want you to change my mind. ”

"It's simple. As with our industrialization plan, we will try it out in a region that we have full control. There is no time limit, simply take your time, one is to strictly manage and correct errors in time, and the other is to be promoted, when problems will inevitably arise, the black pot of 'other countries' policies are not in line with the national conditions. ”

"Where?" Eth nodded, fully agreeing with the approach.

"How are we here?"

"Look up and don't look down, aren't you afraid of embarrassment?" Yi Si teased, but shook his head again, "Even if you are not embarrassed, it is impossible." Although there is no time limit in the announced reform plan, the viscount is too small, the starting point is so low, and it will take a long time to implement the whole country, and the king will not be satisfied. ”

Sorting out the order of titles, Jiao Ming asked: "How about the county, nearby, it is the family that went to participate in the arbitration last time." ”

With the direction of solving the matter, Yi Si's mood turned around, and he took a few more sips of wine, "The county is almost the same, but this family tends to be conservative in its style, and may not be willing to participate." And the trial of currency reform is more inclined to the internal affairs of the territory, even if it is the king, it is not easy to force. Besides, you are a qi magician, and teleportation comes and goes like the wind, so why bother choosing to be nearby. ”

Jiao Minglai is not short at this time, and he can fully understand the dilemma of the feudal dynasty's 'government decree is difficult to get out of the royal capital'. It can be talked about in general terms to launch a major policy, and then run it in the essence of Zhili and drive the whole country. But it is difficult to choose a noble fief at random to point fingers, after all, as soon as this example is opened, how do the major dukes and marquis deal with themselves.

"Not to mention that teleportation is also costly. Money has to go hand in hand with a lot of commodities, and it is not good to have farmland without factories, and the reformist wastes learn from us in their own territories, and they do what they do with those factories, which is really despicable. If you try out a new monetary policy, it is definitely a standard pig teammate. ”

"Pig teammates?"

"There is not enough success, and there is more than failure. ”

Yi Si nodded slowly, and continued along this line of thought, "Thinking about it this way, we are indeed very suitable here. Those copper coins in the crocodile collar have been circulating in a small area, and if the portal is completed and the connection is more close, I am afraid that it will be a demonstration area that can be used in less than a quarter. ”

On the one hand, because of the crocodile collar's aid, the payment is the copper and iron coins minted by the crocodile collar, which many magic warriors and ordinary people such as Liu Ba can accept and use without barriers. On the other hand, there are many magicians brought in by Yisi in various names, either to detoxify, or to learn management, or to become a family shareholder, most of them have a mission outside of work, and they have an indifferent attitude towards the fact that the reward is the copper and iron coins of the crocodile collar.

And it also provides consumption channels, exquisite food, fruit popsicles to relieve the heat, and of course, the rent and utility bills that the middle and low-ring magicians must pay that are not enough to subdivide the standard. Therefore, not counting the scope of the new expansion, within the scope of Jiao Ming's original barony, there is already a currency system relying on the crocodile collar that is fragile but barely circulating.

As Yisi said, on this basis, as long as it is expanded and improved, and supplemented by the issuance and regulatory agencies, it is enough to intersect.

"Hey, listen to you. After hesitating for a moment, Jiao Ming still said a possibility that came to mind at this moment: "The big man who doesn't know how to collar is this kind of idea." ”

"You really don't have to worry about this kind of thing, who hasn't done it in a daydream, I still wanted to be a queen when I was a child. The key is to look at the action, if the crocodile collar does not take the initiative to find you, you don't have to worry about it. Yi Si said this, and it was invisibly determined that the crocodile collar had this consideration, or at least regarded it as an alternative.

"yes, think about it and don't break the law. Since I posted it myself, I can't complain about others. Jiao Ming shook his head and shook off distracting thoughts, and returned to the topic: "So how to land the test point here, what can you do?"

"The easiest way to do this is to convince the nearby lords to get involved and put together an area the size of a county. ”

Jiao Ming immediately ordered Luohua to take the map in the study on the top floor, and with Yisi's understanding of the nearby magical aristocratic families, he screened them one by one from the aspects of ideological attitude, financial weakness, etc., and finally reluctantly put it together. Among them, there are two that are easier to convince, three that can be prescribed, and one that is trapped in the regional center and the most difficult to deal with.

"I'll leave this to me, it's not a big problem, even if this stubborn guy in the end, borrowing the new aristocratic war mechanism, can force him to agree. ”

"I hope this last resort is not used, the movement is too big. ”

"You still want to prepare for it and wait for the crocodile to come to your door. ”

"A little. ”

"Give up, as long as I wander around the territory, many people can guess what we want to do. ”

"MD, are there really so many smart people?" Jiao Ming suspected.

"It's not about being smart. Yi Si smiled and explained: "We are also on the cusp of the kingdom this year, we are celebrities, and there are more people who think about us when we are idle." And this action is a blind guess, and there will be no fewer people who are lucky to hit. ”

With the help of wine and food, the two began to discuss some details again. At the end of the conversation, Jiao Ming, who ate and drank from time to time, felt hungry instead, and ordered the kitchen to be busy with a few new dishes, and then cleaned up like a storm, and was praised by Yisi for envious of the appetite of the magic warrior.

Next, Issy took time out of his day to visit the surrounding lord families as planned, and from Shimizu City, information about various aspects of currency reform came one after another. Generally speaking, the crocodile collar is not stupid, and everything related to monetary reform is discussed openly, which is not only to solicit opinions, but also to avoid insisting on going its own way and taking the blame. After all, in this way, it has become a verbal bombardment, and there is no actual action, so what is the pot.

As for the specific content of the discussion, it is indeed very important enough to act as a shield. There's the question of the backing of money. The problems that may arise from the indiscriminate issuance of currency are obvious, not to mention that the Hongshan Kingdom, which is based on maritime affairs, understands this at all, so the backing of the new currency is a must.

However, in this world where metals are scarce, metals such as gold and silver, although scarce and expensive, are just ordinary magical materials and have never assumed the function of currency. Pegging the new currency to it is not convincing at all, and with the turmoil of the previous year's metal price cuts, there is no confidence in the metal. So the original rare metal scheme was quickly rejected.

And other backings cannot be fully recognized. The most common types of food and slaves were too bulky to transport and to be 'stored' for long periods of time. Inferior common currencies, such as magic potions and metal weapons, are also not acceptable, and some people even propose to rely on cement, but they are also rejected because of the difficulty in determining the quality of the condition.
