Section 2002 Currency(2/2)
How about an idea? Although they can't say that they can solve the problem 100%, they can at least solve some small problems. If someone really wants to find trouble, we can only face it slowly and do things without difficulty.
That's impossible. We are stronger when we have to temper ourselves with difficulties, what do you think, Old Wu?" Li Tong said with a smile. Wu Zuoxi also smiled and shook his head at this time. It seems that he has too many things to consider.
Compared with these young people, he is really a bit old, and Wu Zuoxi is not someone who clings to those problems.
He was thinking that the only problem was the printing of counterfeit banknotes. Now that Li Cong could solve this problem, it meant that the other problems were all small problems that could be solved slowly. Wu Zuoxi pointed out
After nodding, he began to support the plan.
"Since you are so confident in this plan, I won't say anything else. Now let's discuss this plan bit by bit. Since this plan is very detailed, we shouldn't let any issue go.
Let’s start with the coins with smaller face values. You said the smallest one is one tael of silver each. Do you have your own ideas about what shape it should be? Since it is a coin, we have to cast it like this
The coins will definitely be lost. Who will bear the loss? If it is less, we can bear the loss. But the number of things you want will definitely not be small. According to my calculation, how much may it cost?
With denominations of one billion to tens of billions, this is not a small number. One coin is equal to one tael of silver. According to current losses, the loss is generally about 2. 100 silver will have 2 taels of silver. 1,000 silver will have 20 silver. If
Our first batch of printing is 1 billion, which is a lot of silver. Looking at it from this perspective, the loss will not be small. How should we bear this loss? If we should use this coin, it is not enough.
If the amount is too high, many people may resist. Even if they only have 2, they will come to investigate the issue. Wu Zuoxi took a sip of the tea that Li Cong got and said, the taste of this tea is also good. This old man drank it.
The guy nodded repeatedly, but he was not idle. What he said was also something Li Cong should consider now. Loss is indeed a big problem. If it becomes popular throughout the continent, 20 billion coins will be absolutely possible. If
If calculated in this way, it would be tens of millions of silver. This is the smallest face value. If it is a large face value, it will be even more.
Things like silver dollars have a certain history before they begin to circulate on the earth. Some of our own currencies also encountered great resistance at the beginning, but later they were considered to be in circulation. Dozens of them
What is silver? It’s a big lump, but what about dozens of silver dollars? It can fit into any pocket. Which one is more convenient and easier to use? Everyone is not a fool. Of course, those who mint silver coins will definitely get it.
There is a certain benefit, and this loss is a benefit. Li Cong remembered that it was said in the history textbook that one silver dollar can earn two taels of silver. If this is 20 billion, it will be 4 billion taels of silver. This is definitely not a small amount.
, Li Cong will definitely cast more silver coins, and there will be a lot of losses? But it is impossible to make money like this on this road, because the losses here are very few, almost all
It is negligible. Two percent loss is nothing. People here are not very good at making this kind of money. However, compared with Li Cong's big plan, this is small money and can be sacrificed.
"I have thought very clearly about the issue of loss. Ordinary silver can be said to be very soft. You can use some tools such as iron nails to break them apart. This is completely impossible. We can
Some other impurities are added inside to make one dollar very hard. At least it is not easy for you to destroy these silver coins. Anyway, we can exchange the silver coins for you for one tael of silver. We may have some losses at the beginning, but I
If we ensure that our silver dollars are circulated, we will gather a large number of shadows, and we are not just issuing this kind of silver dollars, we will also issue some banknotes, and in the end the silver in our hands will definitely eat up a lot." Li Congxiao
Then he said that obtaining the right to issue currency was the ultimate goal that Li Cong needed, but he wouldn't understand it if I told him this now.
"It's not a big loss after all. It's just that what you said is what you imagined. How to implement it is still a question. What's the benefit of doing this in the end? I know you got it.
The right to issue currency will definitely bring many benefits in the future, but can these countries really listen to you?" Wu Zuoxi is indeed a cunning person. He doesn't understand why he wants to obtain this right. Although with this right, it will be a matter of face.
It's very good, but it's impossible that Li Cong wasted so much manpower and material resources just for a good-looking one?
"Of course there are many benefits to this. What I need at this stage is this momentum. Have you ever thought that one day the entire continent will use one currency. The right to issue this currency is in my hands.
I have to decide how much currency the country wants to issue. Isn't this a fun thing? And I can turn all the debts owed by the royal families of various countries into the debt of the entire country, but the right to issue currency must be in
In my hands, their debts can be completed by borrowing money from me, but they must use the state's fiscal and tax revenue as a guarantee." Li Cong said with a smile, what he wanted to do was just like in history.
The Federal Reserve is the same, except that it is impossible to do such a thing in a short time. It requires a long time of planning for a day, and if something goes wrong, you will lose money.
"It's very interesting to hear what you say, but why do you have such confidence? The royal families of the major empires don't have a lot of debts at this time. They can all use their own abilities to repay them, and now there is no peace in the world.
There won't be any major turmoil, and there won't be many places to use money. I'm afraid your idea will come to nothing. In fact, your idea is really fantastic, and I admire it very much. But it seems that it is not easy to realize in the current situation.
." Regarding Li Cong's idea, Wu Zuoxi had never heard of it before, but now that he knew the news, he really felt that it was a bit interesting. He would be happy for Li Cong to come up with this idea.
To be honest, Wu Zuoxi really wants to see Li Cong control the issuance of major empires, especially the right to issue currency. This is the most interesting thing, and he can't bear it.
That's why I asked these questions to see what Li Cong planned later? I can also give him some suggestions to make this plan more perfect, so that I can solve my doubts early and see.
How do miracles happen in this world?
"What you said is right. The world is peaceful and there is indeed no chance for me to make a move. But what if I make a fuss about the world? Is the world really peaceful now? This is just a temporary superficial phenomenon.
There are undercurrents surging in the world. As long as we can find an opportunity, we can always provoke a war. Moreover, even if these conflicts do not break out, I can also use my own military power to directly provoke a war until all countries are ready to fight.
Why didn't they come to me to borrow money when they were exhausted? At that time, I had the final say in the world. It can be said that it is the easiest to gain the world in this way. If you want me to follow you city by city.
It's impossible for them to fight. How many cities are there in the world? I'm afraid you, a former prime minister, don't know very well." Li Tong said with a smile, Wu Zuoxi nodded again, how many cities in the world could be him?
He doesn't even know about the Western Empire.
Moreover, the influence of the four empires under military attack was too obvious. When you were busy in the Northern Empire, the Southern Empire and other empires had already felt it. I don’t know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Now Li Cong does have an opportunity in his hands, which is to provoke
The war between the three empires and the Eastern Empire is what Li Cong needs to do most. If the four empires really fall into chaos, it is really impossible to implement this plan, and half of the world will be wrong.
Most of it is in the hands of the kid in front of me. It seems to me that I should get close to this guy, so as not to lose my status in the future. Being friends with such a person for the rest of my life can be regarded as an explanation.
"You kid really has a different brain than others. Problems that others dare not think about are very easy for you. And when you said these words, your face didn't turn red at all. What does this mean? It means that you are a
A natural leader. Others say this is shameless, but I don’t think so. People who care about face can’t achieve great things. If he has his own face, he won’t do things. Since you think so, why?
To help these three empires resist the attack of the Eastern Empire, you just need to bring in the people from the Eastern Empire. When the time comes, the three empires are afraid that the Thunder Gate will unite with the Eastern Empire and they will definitely send troops to intervene. When the time comes, the four empires will
If the empire adds a thunder gate, there will be a fight? Wouldn't this achieve your goal?" Maybe it's not surprising to think of this problem at this time. Indeed, if Li Cong can do this, he can solve many things.
Yes, but if he does this, there will be many other risks.
First of all, this war is not within our control. Although there is a gap in the strength of the four empires, what will happen to the entire continent if a full-scale war breaks out? The important thing is to let them bleed rather than destroy them.
If it is really destroyed, you will get nothing. What is the use of having such a continent? So you usually make a long-term plan on this matter.
The first is to issue currency to expand one's influence, and the second is to slowly expand the war so that both sides fall into the abyss of war and have to borrow a lot of money. At the same time, the regimes of the four empires cannot fall. If you want to establish a new regime, start from scratch.
That's too slow, and controlling it yourself is of no use, because its ability to control local areas is very weak. The four major empires are deeply rooted in this continent, and their influence extends to every corner of their rule. Mainly they control
They will become their most senior workers, and they will use state taxes to repay the debts owed to them. And if you lend them money to fight, you will have to charge high interest, and this interest will be compounded.
They don't know how many years it will take to pay back the money. Their emperor may not be able to see it now. By the time their descendants understand it, it will be too late. By that time, they have already controlled everything in the entire continent. They can only be
Help yourself to rule this continent instead of being the real king. It will be too late to regret it by then.
"Thank you for saying that I am a leader. In fact, I have thought about this, but I just have a big framework for how to do it. What we have to do now is to issue currency first. If this thing fails, what will happen in the future?"
There is no need to explain the matter. Now I have read some things from major banks. These banknotes are really not good. The banknotes I issued already have a certain appearance. Come and take a look.
, I don’t know if it’s okay.” Li Cong said and took out a few banknotes from Earth, which also had denominations of 5, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 and up to 100000. Such things are very common on Earth, but
This thing is not ordinary in this place, and the printing of this thing is very exquisite. These things must have never appeared in this world. This thing itself is like a kind of art.
"This is indeed an amazing thing. This is really the first time I have seen these things, especially this paper. I dare say that no technology on this continent can create such a thing. Are you the one with these things?
How did you get it? I dare say that even if it has no value, someone will definitely buy it with money. I want to collect it myself. This set of numbers must be what you said.
That thing? It's really good. If all banknotes looked like this, I don't think anyone would object, and many people would exchange it." Wu Zuoxi's reaction when he looked at this thing was beyond Li Cong's expectation.
Yes, Li Cong has been carrying these things on his body for a long time, and he was afraid that this guy would say it was a piece of paper. In fact, it was just a piece of paper, but these things had never appeared before. They were indeed very beautifully printed things.
"Yes, these are the so-called anti-counterfeiting marks. I believe you should be relieved if there are such things. Every one of them has such a watermark, and nothing will happen. I plan to first go to places where our Cao Family Trading Company has a relatively large influence.
It will be implemented for a period of time, but it will not leak out on a large scale. I believe someone will buy my account." Li Cong said with a smile, this kind of thing is very good, people like Wu Zuoxi have been the prime minister of the Western Empire.
, he thinks this thing is very good, not to mention other people, they will definitely be extremely interested in this thing.
