24. The Essence of Hegemonism (2)
The emperor was suddenly a little sluggish, and cold sweat was dripping down the side of his forehead, "British, do this, no wonder you can dominate!" â
"And India, the same is true of the British, those goods and resources are constantly being transported to the country, provided to the royal family and nobles to squander, and provided to those factories to produce, but what did the British spend? It's just some that looks valuable, but when you look closely, it's just a pile of waste paper. Pen Ă fun Ă Pavilion www. ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ ă ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝â
The emperor's heart fluttered, and he seemed to have discovered something earth-shattering, "This is also the secret of Britain's hegemony in the world, the minister called him the 'pound hegemony', I heard that in the past Opium War, Britain wanted to reverse the trade deficit, and secondly, it also wanted to replace the British silver coin with paper money, but we are just like today's vassal states, and do not recognize British paper money, so there are two opium wars." â
"But later, the British paper pound was still opened for domestic circulation."
"This is the general trend, and it can't be stopped," Wang Kaiyun said, his old god was there, obviously not taking this matter to heart, "There is still a difference between being forced to do something and doing something voluntarily, not to mention that the management of foreign banks in this dynasty is not strict?" Hu Xueyan invented the reserve requirement system, but it firmly tied the banks of the great powers in China. "For this matter, there have been a lot of diplomatic turmoil, but the Queen Mother is very clear that a strictly monitored financial industry is in line with China's national conditions, so even if the external pressure is great, it will never be allowed, these people use foreign currency to disrupt the domestic financial market, silk trade war, but there is a living example in front of us.
Pang Delu saw that the emperor's face was not good, and there was still cold sweat on his forehead, so he hurriedly took a hot towel embroidered with a golden dragon from the golden ball of the Eight Treasures of Hun Tian on the side, and presented it to the emperor. â
The emperor took a sip of milk tea and settled down, "Yes, in India, as far as India is concerned, so tens of millions of Indian people, let alone tens of millions, I am afraid that hundreds of millions of pounds will be scattered into the sea, and there will be no sound at all, and the British can print paper money desperately, but there is no risk of being worthless." â
"This is the reason why Britain wants to keep the colonial hegemon, and Germany also has such troubles, so he not only wants to grab gold in the Boer region to stabilize prices, but also evacuate the worthless Deutsche Mark to all parts of the world, so as to reduce the pressure at home, we are not as poor as Germany, but the emperor knows why?"
"Nature's land is vast," said the Emperor proudly, "and there are 40,000 subjects, and here it is not a problem to issue a huge amount of currency." â
"That's the reason, a drop of wine, put in the minister's bowl of milk tea, can smell it at once, but if it is placed in the Fuhai, it will not smell at all, it is the truth of issuing currency. For example, all countries have to do business with us today, this silver money circulates more, currency is valuable, I have never heard of the value of the money of small countries and widows, although the vassal countries are not as vast as this India, but there are also a little place, a little bit of wealth, especially North Korea and Thailand, there are many rich people, although it is not as good as a province in the southeast, but this new currency, as long as these places are sent out, flow, naturally twice as much, it is not a problem. â
"What Master Wang said is extremely true," the emperor's eyes showed a look of great admiration, "how can you not be a scholar of the household department with such a talent?" I do think that your talent is by no means below Yan Jingming. â
Wang Kaiyun smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, just talked about the issue of currency, "The emperor knows control, this is excellent, but although the control is good, it is better to expand, such as the minister here," Pang Delu was very old-fashioned, not only took the milk tea, but also put a plate of crystal osmanthus mung bean cake, Wang Kaiyun picked up a small piece of mung bean cake, "Mung bean cake, the minister eats alone, just milk tea, about enough." But if the minister and Pang Gonggong share the food, they can only taste the taste, but if the guards of the Qinzheng Palace are allowed to eat it separately, the emperor thinks that everyone can still eat what this mung bean cake tastes like? â
"Naturally not, what Master Wang meant, I understand," the emperor really had a sense of sudden realization today, "The rest of the big guys who guard this piece of mung bean cake share a little bit, it is better to work hard to make a few more pieces of mung bean cake, so that there are more people, and naturally everyone is happy." â
"The vassal states combined, although not as big as the Central Plains, but there are still many more pieces of mung bean cake," the emperor raised his head and looked at the map on the side of the study, his eyes blazing, "Let these all these be sent to the new currency, a lake as big as Fuhai, put a pot of wine in it, no one knows." â
"The British used muskets and artillery to subdue the overseas colonies, what do we use?" The emperor made up his mind, raised his head and said firmly, "Whether or not all countries know about this powerful relationship, they will not take the initiative to want the paper money of the Qing Dynasty to circulate in their own countries. â
"Righteousness!" Wang Kaiyun said, "For thousands of years, the neighboring countries have been based on the Chinese Zhengshuo, which is a deep-rooted view, so the LĂŞ Dynasty and the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam have changed, and the Goryeo Kingdom has gone to the Li Dynasty, all of which are the same, because of the rise of Western countries in the past few years, the vassal system has been shaken, but in recent years, several major wars, such as the North Sea Northwest Kokand, Ryukyu, Sulu, Lanfang, Vietnam, etc., stabilized the system, and put Shi Dakai and others in India to compete with the British, and the domestic Li Fan Yuan also played a huge role, as well as the "Zong Fan Regulations" to establish rules and constraints, The restoration of Kokand, the expulsion of the Spaniards in Luzon, and the establishment of another Li Dynasty in Vietnam were deeply supported by the vassals, and in this way, the heart of the vassal state, which was originally somewhat loose, was suddenly reunited again. â
The so-called righteousness sounds a little illusory, talking about the human heart, but the human heart can be reflected, turned into specific behaviors, this is effective, the Foshan Guild swelled up rapidly after the war in Vietnam, and paper money can be issued to Vietnam, which is a big reason. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the mandate of heaven is in his hands, and the vassal states naturally want to bow down and be vassals, and incorporate these places into China and unify the currency, and the emperor wants to let the household department issue more new currency, which is naturally harmless," Wang Kaiyun said with a smile, "Now that the time and place are favorable, there are good ways for the British to be in front of Zhuyu, and the World Congress is here, isn't it that the east wind is coming soon?" â
