Chapter 173: Innovative Breakthroughs

Economics is a very deep science, which covers many sciences, such as sociology, psychology, mathematics, co-ordination, forecasting, and so on. Almost everything that happens in the world can be linked to the economy, and it will be felt by everyone, because all economic changes will directly lead to changes in our lives.

So as long as it comes to the economy, it is not a small problem, in fact, the economic situation in Xiajia Town is now the same as that of the United States, when it broke away from the Bretton Woods monetary system, a large amount of currency was overissued, and with the total amount of existing paper money, it could not be exchanged for the precious metals they should have.

Now that all the people in the cultivation realm are in the dark, of course, the run will not expose the problem, but not exposing the problem does not mean that he is fine. Don't treat all the common people as fools, they will also wake up one day.

So the problem is, if it is announced now that precious metals are decoupled from paper money, it can only be that the economy of Xiajia Town will collapse immediately, and the credit of paper money will be wiped out, and the alternative option is to link these paper money to other precious metals.

Now there are not many choices in front of Wang Meng, they have a huge amount of goods in reserve, but this is not equal to precious metals. Wang Meng deeply understands the power of currency credit, that is, it is resolute not to let the currency collapse, but now the development speed of Xiajia Town is getting faster and faster, and the amount of paper money consumed is also increasing.

Moreover, the local and several other neighboring counties have already carried out the business of exchanging precious metals for currency, so it is necessary to let this credit currency go on.

"Song Baishu, how about you say that we use jade as a national reserve? According to my understanding, the amount of jade mining in the Xiuzhen Realm is close to exhaustion, and there are still many jade stones on the earth, and there are conditions that can fully support us to use jade as a national currency reserve. ”

Song Baishu smiled and said, "I also thought so at the beginning, now the jade in the cultivation realm is a commonly used item, and we can also completely make it into a monopoly form reserve, Fuhrer, let me say something that makes you unhappy, first of all, jade is not a special item that all monks must use, and he is also replaceable." If jade is very difficult for mortals to store, and its fragility leads to the fact that it will not be welcomed and recognized by the vast majority of people when it enters the market, then our reserve is a failed reserve. If this continues, not only will it not bring us any benefits, but it will reduce the speed at which paper money can replace gold, silver, and spirit stones. ”

"It will even cause a credit banknote crash, right?" Wang Meng asked.

Nodding his head, Song Baishu expressed his support for Wang Meng's view, which is also what he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say it so clearly, "We still have glass, but most of the glass is daily necessities, although there is no such thing as silicon in this cultivation world, but glass is also pure in itself, it is too obvious shortcoming, that is, he is useless to monks, and it cannot be said that it is useless at all. ”

Wang Meng actually knew that glass was the same as jade, and his consumption and wear determined that he was not suitable as a currency, especially as a reserve currency, although he could monopolize the glass and jade in this world, but it was useless.

At this time, Liu Suo stood up and said, "Then isn't it feasible for us to use spirit stones as base currency reserves?" We will now earn a lot of spirit stones every month, although the overall income is still beyond our means, but with the overall spread of our business in the entire Xiuzhen Continent, I believe that we will soon be able to reach a break-even, and even in a few years we will have a surplus, and recently many families have actually come to our Xiajia Town, and found Xia Minmin and I to discuss the export of arms. ”

How could Wang Meng not know the profit margin of this munition, but now munitions are not his main item, because this world is still very peaceful for the time being, a Xiuzhen sect, a country can buy some at most at one time, and at most use it for training every year, because it does not fight, so this thing does not consume much at all.

In saying that the most arms in exchange for the spirit stone, now the entire arms industry Wang Meng still insists on the spirit stone price to reflect his value, and the spirit stone as an overall currency reserve is not impossible, but when you encounter the run of ordinary people, you can't always divide one percent of the spirit stone to him, right? That would be so funny, and those ordinary people can't recognize this way.

Wang Meng's head is so painful now, now he must find a strategic reserve resource like the United States, and return the resources that everyone recognizes, which can be used by monks and even more by mortals.

And you need very cheap materials that can be used for your own monopoly reserves, it's difficult, it's too difficult, Wang Meng has studied several kinds of things with you one after another, such as plastics, oil, natural gas, fertilizers, and so on. In the end, I found that after studying for a long time, there was no reserve resource that could be used, either these resources were not strong in practicality in this world, or they were out of the scope of use of monks, so these proposals were simply in vain everyone's brain cells.

At this time, Liu Suo patted his head and said to Wang Meng, "I thought of it, I thought of it." ”

Wang Meng hurriedly asked, "What do you think of?" ”

"Some time ago, the alchemists under my jurisdiction were full of praise for the metal we brought with us, encouraged by our innovative policy. Now the morale of all the cultivators is very high, and there are constantly innovations and inventions. This was also a successful attempt under the leadership of the Führer, and without the Führer's encouragement, we would not have developed so quickly. ”

When Wang Meng heard these sycophants, he immediately became angry, "Hurry up and get to the point, when did you learn to pat yourself as a soldier, and you are still grinding and chirping, be careful that I will remove you from your post tomorrow and replace you." ”

"Ahem" Liu knows that what he said now is a bit too much, he didn't know how to make sycophants before, but now that he has mixed up with his career, he has slowly learned that set, "That is, we made a major discovery a while ago, that is, aluminum." Aluminum is a non-existent substance in the cultivation realm, and when these refiners first arrived, I explained to them about the characteristics of aluminum, and they tried to refine various magic weapons, and made a major breakthrough. ”

"Focus, point, your fucking real ink" Wang Meng took off his shoes and directly looked like Liu Suo, those eyes looked like they were going to eat people.

Seeing this, Liu Suo also made a big jump and continued, "Yes, yes, the point, the result of the breakthrough is that when making a general aura level magic weapon, adding a little aluminum will greatly reduce the overall weight of the object, but this is not the key, the key is that once the metal of aluminum is fused with some metals in this world, his strength will be greatly improved, and it will be more economical to control." ”

Wang Meng knocked on the table as if he had thought of something, and nodded for Liu to continue.
