Ai Hu was born, and he has been here several times. Every time, he is chattering to find Li Xiao and ask him to spend less!

There was no way, and a million people were suddenly conscripted. All kinds of expenses poured over as if the floodgates had been opened.

The household department has to deal with all kinds of requests for appropriations!

The officials in charge, such as the waiters and the outsiders, saw the posts inviting them to eat one by one, as if they were seeing a life talisman.

At this time, who dares to eat and take a card.

If you are really unlucky, you have embezzled money that should not have been misappropriated. My head will be moved!

Ai Husheng had said hello beforehand, and if anyone dared to do something in private this time, even he wouldn't be able to save it.

Hearing Ai Husheng's name, Li Xiao was a little irritable. Because he really doesn't want to waste his experience on it!

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to run a business. He has read the book of macroeconomics, but he has never opened it.

How could a person who was obsessed with all kinds of firearms and artillery magazines in middle school be interested in such books.

"Handsome! Something is wrong. Ai Husheng lost his former composure and broke in in a hurry.

"What's the matter? Panicked! Li Xiao frowned.

Ai Husheng is an important minister of the imperial court, and he still has the self-cultivation he should have. For him to become like this, it must be a big deal.

"Look, handsome!" Ai Husheng took out two silver dollars and put them on Li Xiao's desk.

"What's going on?" Li Xiao looked at the two silver dollars that glittered in the light.

"Someone minted the Ming silver dollar and copper dollar privately!" Ai Husheng held up two silver dollars and came to Li Xiao's eyes.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiao frowned.

Over the years, the Ming silver coin has been revised several times. There's not a shred of silver at all!

After the steel plate is completely hardened, the nickel plating process is carried out. It looks shiny and corrosion-resistant.

Through the Ming Bank, and the trade circulation of the Ming coins have become a proper world currency.

India! Southeast Asia! Wa country! North Korea! Mongolia! Siam! Myanmar! Cochin!

There are also those countries in the Middle East, where the Ming currency is hard currency. Even in the Wa Kingdom, North Korea, and Cochin, Daming coins have become legal tender.

The hard-tied steel core coin was to improve the Ming Dynasty's dependence on precious metals.

Unexpectedly, someone actually began to imitate it.

"These silver coins are so realistically made that it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

It was also discovered by accident, and it is not clear how many counterfeit silver coins are in circulation. ”

"Which of these is true and which is false." Li Xiao held one in one hand, looked carefully left and right, and didn't find any fake.

"...... just now!" Ai Husheng was a little confused, and he wasn't sure if he could tell the difference.

He looked at the two silver coins for a long time before pointing to one and saying, "This is true, and that one is fake."

Look, there are thirteen dots on the side of the fake silver coin. And we have twelve of them, and the other ......!

It takes a balance to weigh it, and the fake silver coin is about half a penny lighter than our Daming silver coin.

I guess it's because of the steel, the steel we use in Daming is special. They can't get it yet!

However, the nickel plating process ...... must have been leaked. ”

"The nickel plating process requires electricity, could it be that someone in our Ming Dynasty dares to mint Ming coins privately?"

Zheng Sen also glanced at the fake coin, at least he couldn't see any clues on it.

"Hard to say! In the past, when Daming minted coins, they were stamped and manufactured by stamping machines. In terms of appearance, it is very different from casting, and you can see it at a glance.

Now the steel core is made by the hard binding process, and then the nickel plating process is used for electroplating.

For safety reasons, the mint was built on Juehua Island off the coast of Ningyuan. It's all death row inmates!

There are separate generators there, and there is also a cold rolling workshop. The entry and exit of people are strictly controlled. There is no possibility of a leak! ”

The mint is under the jurisdiction of the household department, and Ai Husheng instinctively dissociates the relationship.

"So ...... that this happened abroad?

Now the technology of generating electricity is not a secret, at least Israel already has large power plants.

By the way, there are also big cities like Paris and Berlin.

I heard that many places in the North American territory have also started to build power plants.

With electricity, the nickel plating process is not complicated.

Could it be that someone abroad is privately making our Ming coins? ”

Li Lin looked at the coin in Li Xiao's hand and said.

Li Xiao nodded, he felt that Li Lin had a point.

When power generation is no longer a secret, the nickel plating process naturally becomes easy to crack.

The question now is whether the counterfeit money business is being carried out at home or abroad.

If someone from Daming is doing it, then the matter is quite simple. After all, everything was under the control of the Ming court.

Arrest people, all over the house! Ling Chi ......!

As soon as these methods are used, almost no one dares to do it anymore.

But it's different abroad, Daming doesn't have hard means to do that.

Today's Daming silver coins have become the world's circulating currency. Even in some parts of Europe, it can be circulated in the same way as local coins.

If a large number of coins pour into the market, and someone is open to buying Daming goods, the consequences will ......!

After all, the current Daming silver coins are not real money. The so-called gold coins are actually copper.

As long as these people make a large number of coins, they can exchange a large number of strategic materials for the Ming Dynasty at a very low price.

There are no weapons for these materials, but food, cotton cloth, rubber, sugar, and refined oil products are indispensable.

After all, Daming's domestic factories seem to be springing up.

Especially Gyeonggi and Liaodong, Hebei, Shandong, these provinces. On the outskirts of almost every city, there are large factories.

Especially bulk commodities, such as cotton cloth, printing and dyeing, these things, there are many factories.

The things produced in so many factories are still not eaten in Daming.

More often than not, it is exported abroad.

Now it is a trivial matter that what is exported becomes scrap copper and rotten iron, and if there are too many counterfeit money, it will cause inflation.

High prices are a destabilizing factor for any society.

Although the people of Daming are still wealthy, they have just been lifted out of poverty for a long time, and their family background is not deep.

At this time, there is large-scale inflation, and the consequences are ......!

Political economy Li Xiao is only a dogmatic recital, but Li Xiao knows the evil consequences of inflation.

If you really get to the point where the common people exchange a bag of coins for a bag of rice, then it is not far from a rebellion.

"Let Luzhu investigate, no matter who you find, you will be killed!" The matter is related to the life and death of the Ming Empire, and Li Xiao's face is so gloomy that it can drip water.

“……！” The three of them didn't speak, and they all knew that Li Xiao was really angry this time.

Li Xiao is currently the most powerful person on the planet, and his anger is usually appeased by millions of corpses.

Zheng Sen decided to go home and check it out. Is it my own, if it was really a cousin who did it?

Do it yourself and then destroy everything. Otherwise, the end of the Zheng family is just around the corner.

Li Lin had a relaxed face, and there were only a group of old monkeys under his command.

A year ago, they were all big soldiers, and they were absolutely incapable of doing this kind of thing.

Ai Husheng is really anxious, although he doesn't understand what inflation is. But he knew that money was just an intermediary for commodities.

If there is more money, the consequence is that the price will increase.

Years of business experience have taught him that price increases are not always a good thing.

The three of them thought about this matter with their own thoughts, and the flower hall immediately fell silent.

On the other side of the planet, with the end of the Battle of Constantinople. It's as if the war stopped all at once!

But the monarchs of all Europe knew that this was just a respite from another and more intense war.

The combat effectiveness shown by Da Ming in two consecutive battles is terrifying!

On the northern front in just fifteen days, 450,000 Poles were defeated. The Polish Empire, which was also a European power, was forced to fall to its knees and beg for peace.

On the southern front in Constantinople, the emerging Israel and the Ming hit a bloody head.

Despite heavy losses on both sides, the Ming Dynasty finally succeeded in holding Constantinople.

Israel also sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to beg for peace.

In a small house next to the council hall in the French town of Lens, four people were chatting under the candlelight with wine in their hands.

"Frederick, don't hesitate any longer.

If the Ming Dynasty defeats Poland, then you Prussia will be below.

The condition for the Ming to choose an opponent is to be strong, is Prussia strong? Of course, you, like us in France, are one of the most powerful land forces in Europe.

Obviously, Da Ming will not let them go!

They will do their best to weaken us, make them surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and be the pigs and dogs that the Ming Dynasty asks for.

Would you like to?

Unwillingly!

What to do?

Take up arms and fight the Ming people on the land of the Poles.

Oh yes!

And have to add their dogs, Russians!

Frederick, fight on their land. It's better than you fight in the land of the Prussians!

At the very least, your country won't be reduced to rubble. ”

Napoleon said as he shook the wine and looked at Frederick.

Frederick, who was old, now had a few hairs left. The age-stained hand held the wine glass, which shook like Napoleon's, and sniffed it from time to time.

"The Ming Dynasty is too powerful, even if we Prussia and France join forces, we may not be their opponents.

Poland's 450,000 men lasted only fifteen days before they were finished. Seeing that Frederick did not speak, Bismarck took over.

Napoleon cursed the old fox in his heart and stopped talking.

Mula looked left and right, he was a staunch supporter of the opposition to the Great Ming. Also the convener of this Franco-Prussian dialogue!

Now the King of France and the Field Marshal of France, together with the Emperor and Chancellor of Prussia, are discussing the future of Europe, and indeed of mankind.

"We France will do our best to deal with the Ming Dynasty, we can mobilize 800,000 soldiers in the early stage, and we can also invest 800,000 people in the war.

If you Prussia do the same, plus other European countries, I believe that the strength of the initial coalition will not be less than two million men.

The Pope has issued an encyclical calling on all Christians to be like the Crusaders.

For the sake of faith, drive the pagans out of the land of the gods.

All Christians will participate in this war, even if not to fight, and will support us in various ways.

We will forge a Christian alliance that has never been stronger!

If you want someone to have someone, if you want a weapon to have a weapon, the pope will also pay a lot of money for the war.

If we don't fight at this time, then I don't think we will have a chance to fight again in the future.

Mr. Bismarck, what does the country look like after being invaded by the Ming Dynasty?

The British unified India into a huge country.

The Ming defeated the British and occupied India.

But instead of stationing many soldiers in India to maintain their rule, they dismembered India into more than sixty small states.

India, which took the British more than 100 years to knead, was torn apart in a few years.

It's hard for them to put together anymore, and a huge empire is gone.

How is Russia now?

It was dismembered by the Ming Dynasty and us, and then as a protectorate, protecting the last Muscovy of Russia.

After a few years of recuperation, Catherine's bitch became the most loyal bitch of Daming.

Your Majesty the Emperor! Mr. Bismarck!

Would you like Prussia to have your limbs amputated?

Just now, His Majesty our Emperor said that the criterion for choosing an opponent in the Ming Dynasty is to be strong.

Whoever is strong, who will become a threat to the Ming Dynasty, they will hit whom.

Believe me, Poland is not their goal.

The goal of the Ming Dynasty was Prussia, and we in France. And maybe ......, Britain across the Channel. ”

Mula looked at Frederick and Bismarck.

"What is the attitude of the British?" Frederick asked suddenly.

"They are willing to give supplies, and they are willing to send 100,000 expeditionary troops. They were badly beaten by the Ming Dynasty in India, losing a lot of technical equipment and personnel.

It has only been a few years since it was relieved! Being able to produce 100,000 people is already a great effort. ”

"The most tricky thing now is the equipment, the Ming people have iron cars, and airplanes.

We can't deal with those people!

Poland is an example, 450,000 people, in just fifteen days.

Even if we had two million people, we would not be better off than the Poles.

We need to have a weapon that can deal with the Ming! ”

"A batch of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns was manufactured in the North American territory, and the base was adjusted so that the direction could be quickly adjusted.

These guns have a maximum caliber of 88 millimeters and can shoot at targets of more than 8,000 meters.

There is also a fifty-millimeter one, which, when combined, can effectively deal with airships.

Since it can be used to fight airships, there should be no problem in jerking off.

As for the iron car, it's even simpler.

Do you say that you don't have cannons in your Prussian army?

We know an example from the Poles, who once successfully destroyed a tank at a distance of 800 meters with an 80-millimeter cannon.

So, we don't have to worry about the number of people and the equipment.

There are 400 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than 300 million people in Christendom as a whole. In the war in Europe, the logistics supply of the Ming Dynasty could only rely on a large Central Asian railway.

And our supply capacity is much better than theirs! ”
