Chapter 471 - Scrap Gold with Gold

Listening to Han Feng's question, Liu Quan sighed and frowned: "The Tan clan is deeply rooted behind it, and I don't have the means to win...... Hehe, don't say that you are sure of victory, you don't even have the courage to gamble, you asked me this question. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

It was the first time Han Feng had seen Liu Quan say such depressing words, he smiled and teased, "This is not like what you said. I don't believe you can't do it, tell me, what do you need us to do?"

Liu Quan smiled bitterly: "Of course there is a way. However, the Tan family has been working hard for hundreds of years, isn't it comparable to you and me, and it is not easy to find their loopholes. Pegasus may be a variable, you may be a variable, and that white boy may be a variable...... However, in the face of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, what can these variables be? How many people can we influence, how many people can money influence, and whether or not we can succeed in building a country in the end always depends on the will of the people. Unless...... I can think of a way to scatter the money in the hands of the Tan family into the hands of the people and turn it into 10,000!"

Mingxi said: "This is also my ...... The eldest brother thought of him, and at that time he said that he wanted to reduce taxes, for this purpose. ”

Liu Quan said: "Yes, but he did it too obviously. In fact, in my opinion, if Zhang Boyuan comes to talk to us, then he might as well agree first, at least bring more materials in their hands. After that, most of the Tan family in his hands was gold, and if he could find a way to abolish the status of gold first and then establish it, he could make the Tan family collapse. ”

"Abolish first and then stand?" Han Feng, Mingxi, and Lijiao didn't understand, and they all looked at Liu Quan.

Liu Quan sighed, stood up, and paced in the hall as he said slowly: "Yes, and now is the opportunity for the Tan clan to come to power, but it is also an opportunity for them to expose their weaknesses! In fact, I have been thinking about why I can get so much money when I was doing business in Lidu, what is the use of having gold and silver in Lidu...... It's nothing more than because the people who leave the capital can't get out of the city, but they want those things that they can't leave without, and at that time, the money is useless in their hands, so naturally it all goes to my hands. ”

"I always wondered, what is money...... Money is used to exchange things, if it is said that others use money to buy things, and those who are businessmen also use things to buy money? In the final analysis, useful things are still things themselves. So why is it more expensive to have a close teacher? The reason is the same as that in Zaili, the war reduces the amount of goods, cuts off the trade, and people have to spend more money in order to exchange things. So, the Tan clan now has more money in their hands, but for the Tan clan, is the war to some extent, making their gold mine less 'valuable'?"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and when he saw that Han Feng and the others were attentive, he continued to speak: "Of course, I also believe that in the previous wars, no one may have seen this, and some people will think of going with me, but how to hurt the Tan family is not so easy." The Tan family is not stupid, they have been operating for so many years, in addition to money, all walks of life in the world should also have their strength, and the foundation is solid, so that they can not fall for hundreds of years. However, after all, business is much more complicated than money, starting small, everyone can do business, not monolithic. ”

Han Feng said: "I understand what you mean, so we still have to stock up on more goods and let people develop more industries, so that we can waste money with things?"

Liu Quan said: "I haven't finished speaking, and to be precise, it's not as simple as abolishing first and then establishing it, and the development of industry that I just said is not just to abolish the status of money." You must know that without money, what can people exchange for goods? Could it be that this is a barter, in that case, I am afraid that the country will not be able to stand up for a day. Therefore, it is not about scrapping gold with things, but about scrapping gold with gold, first of all, there must be something that can replace money. ”

"The goldsmith's receipt!" Mingxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then it can be regarded as a substitute for money!" but...... But it's still money behind it. ”

Liu Quan said: "I have also seen what the third princess said in Pingsha City, yes, there is still money behind this thing, but it can give us a lot of inspiration." But...... This is a later thing, and the first thing to do is to have our unique money. ”

Li Ji blinked her eyes and asked, "What is unique money?

Liu Quan said with a smile: "That's what I said after leaving! Nowadays, people all over the world think that gold and silver itself is money, so gold shops can issue receipts for money, but the universal circulation is not without gold and silver coins, but because there are not as many copper coins, it is ignored." If...... What if we had enough industry and quantity in our hands to decide that the majority of people would come to us to buy them, and we claimed to only accept gold and silver coins of the uniform system?"

Han Feng thought for a while and said, "Jewelry, gold nuggets, and silver nuggets will slowly withdraw, and they can no longer be used as money, and someone will take these to us to exchange them for gold and silver coins of equal weight, and gradually, the total amount of money will also be controlled by the government as a whole, even if the Tan family is given a certain amount of taxes, it can prevent them from profiting from the industry again." ”

Liu Quan said: "Exactly. This is the strategy for the Tan family's bottom of the kettle, but if we want to develop the industry, the gold in our hands is greatly insufficient, and the gold and silver coins are indeed inconvenient to turnover, so the government can also open a gold shop and money village similar to the Yuan Sheng, so as to facilitate the integration of merchants, or directly used for the operation of the industry, as for the receipts, they can also be continued, like gold coins as a unified system. According to my reckoning, if this is the case for hundreds and eighty years, the gold and silver coins will be replaced by the receipts, and all these heavy lauches will be in the treasury. ”

Li Jiao said: "But this is just the gold and silver exchanged for those notes, the essence has not changed, what problem can be solved?"

Liu Quanguaner: "There are many ways in this. There is always a time when gold and silver mines are exhausted, which means that there is a limit to the total number of gold and silver coins that can be circulated in the market. But with the development of industry, the quantity of goods is endless. Don't say that you will wait for thousands of years for the mine to be closed, but just say that for now, if there is no war in the past few years, the mining of gold and silver mines will not be able to catch up with the industry. So over the years, the things that can be exchanged for gold and silver have been going more and more. Alas, although the tax has not risen, the people have to pay the tax with real money, and the ordinary family can only take the things obtained by a year's hard work to the gold shop to exchange for money. First of all, the Tan family's financial route was cut off; second, the government did not collect gold and silver as a tax, but could instead collect goods as a tax, thus reducing the burden on the people in disguise; the most important thing was that when gold and silver mining could not keep up with the development of industry, the receipts made by the government could be changed into paper money, and the amount of money to be issued could be determined according to the size of the industry. ”
