Vol 4 Chapter 159: Cottage continent, latecomer advantage

The wave of paper money is sweeping across the country, and hundreds of thousands of paper money are dazzling.

Due to the difference in face value, purchasing power, and guarantee issuance institutions, the exchange and circulation of these hundreds of banknotes can be expected to cause considerable confusion.

They cannot even circulate with each other.

The best way is to issue one set of banknotes in China, and share one set of banknotes across the country.

This can bring a lot of convenience.

Zhou Ming thought this way at the beginning. Before issuing gold vouchers, he had found cooperation with the country and hoped to jointly issue paper money. He had a certain share in it.

Banknotes?

Upon hearing this term, those Qian Xing officials reacted like Bai Xutang, and felt that this was a fantasy. It was a joke, and it was impossible to succeed.

A few months later, these officials were naturally beaten and regretted, but in countries that have lost their opportunities, the banknotes issued by them can only achieve the widest circulation, and the guarantor is the most trustworthy, and it is impossible to eliminate that together. Hundreds of banknotes popped up.

Because of the benefits of paper money, other cities have discovered that as long as they control the power to issue paper money, the wealth of the entire city can be gathered into the hands of currency issuers.

As long as your credibility does not collapse, and endless wealth can be controlled by the printing machine.

Smart people who find this kind of interest will certainly not let go of the power to issue currency.

Of course, the high-level government of the country would like to withdraw all the currency issuance rights as it did with the cities, but it was too late. If it was tough, it would cause all cities to rebound and unanimously oppose it.

The helpless top officials of the country had no choice but to call the officials of the few money banks, and after scolding them for "idiots, rice barrels", they fired them.

So for many years, Wancheng has kept hundreds of sets of banknotes in the currency field, and the circulation is chaotic.

As the inventor of the paper money, Zhou Ming can only express helplessness.

He is not unsuccessful, but those officials do not believe, and he has no way.

However, less than a year ago, when Zhou Ming learned from the information that Dongyuanzhou was also vigorously promoting the use of paper money, he was surprised.

Dongyuanzhou is also promoting paper money, how is this possible?

How can it be so fast?

Zhou Ming exclaimed that if heard by Jiang Ruyue, she might respond lightly: Sorry, we are so fast.

In fact, Jiang Ruyue also holds an intelligence gathering agency, and he attaches great importance to the situation of Wan Chengguo.

In general, what happened or news happened on Wan Chengguo's side. About a week later, all kinds of intelligence summary will appear on her desk.

The wave of paper money set off by Wan Chengguo certainly aroused her great attention.

And from many news reports, we can see the strategic significance and long-term value of paper money.

Even when most of the initial reports held a negative and mocking attitude towards the emergence of banknotes, she was already in sight.

Then he increased his attention and ordered the intelligence personnel to find a way to get some banknotes from Wancheng.

What impressed her was the "Golden Voucher" issued by Wancheng Guoxu Qingcheng.

These golden round coupons have beautiful materials, beautiful patterns, unique touches, and multiple anti-counterfeiting marks, which are even more breathtaking.

In particular, the gold-denominated coupons with a face value of 1,000 are all red and gold, and the colors are festive, giving people a sense of tallness.

Jiang Ruyue was amazed when he learned that the designer of these gold coins was Bai Feiyang, the inventor of the paper money, and his eyes sparkled with love.

Mumbled, "Why aren't geniuses like Mr. Bai born in Dongyuanzhou? If such a genius can be used by me, why is Dongyuanzhou not strong?"

Bai Feiyang's great reputation, Jiang Ruyue knew.

The first is a genius, a peerless genius in spiritual practice. In order to marry Mu Xianzi, he lost all news of the world's heroes. In those days, she paid close attention and looked forward to the point where the information was sent every day. Complete the challenge and successfully marry Mu Xianzi.

Later, he succeeded in the challenge. Jiang Ruyue almost jumped up excitedly, with countless envy in his heart, envy of Na Mu fairy.

Second is an inventor.

Genius inventor.

Invented the Lingyuan cable telegraph, the Lingyuan typewriter, and movies, which have greatly helped and promoted military, office, and entertainment.

Of these three inventions, Jiang Ruyue has experimental products or smuggled finished products in her hands, which are very easy to use, especially the movie, which she likes best. Read it no less than ten times.

Now, he showed himself the epoch-making invention of "paper money".

The idea in Jiang Ruyue's mind was opened, and he quickly developed the idea of ​​learning to imitate and promote the issuance of paper money in Dongyuanzhou.

And immediately reprimanded him for action.

It is simply impossible to create a banknote printing machine with high printing efficiency by using Dongyuanzhou's technology and talent reserves to print out banknotes with perfect anti-counterfeiting functions.

Let people conduct research on paper, ink, watermark, etc. for at least a decade or two.

Jiang Ruyue can't wait that long.

Imports can only be smuggled from Wan Chengguo through intelligence organizations.

So it took hundreds of millions of coins, and after waiting for a few months, I finally got a money printing machine and corresponding supporting equipment, and spent a lot of time to transport it to Dongyuanzhou.

A group of experts were ordered to install and debug for a few months, imitating the style of Xuanqingcheng gold round coupons, and printed the first batch of paper money belonging to Dongyuanzhou.

This paper currency was named "Xiaoyao" by Jiang Ruyue.

Some people may ask here: In the country where the people have a large amount of spiritual currency reserves and the depreciation of the purchasing power of the spiritual currency is inconvenient to carry, the success of the promotion of the paper currency is justifiable. Zhou, does this set work?

It might work.

Why do you say that?

There are three main reasons.

One, there are a lot of Lingshi mines buried underground in Dongyuanzhou, and there are many super Lingshi mines with a mining value of more than 10 trillion yuan or more than 100 billion yuan. After ten million years of continuous mining, the number of private spiritual coins remains. It is also very large, it can be said that it is more than the sum of the four Yuanzhou in the middle, south, west and north.

Therefore, the purchasing power of Dongyuanzhou Lingbi is not as exaggerated as Wanchengguo, but it is not particularly high.

Two, the commercial exchanges between cities in Dongyuanzhou are extremely active, and commercial exchanges are frequent, especially for commodity transactions. It is still very troublesome to settle them with Lingbi. The quantity carried is too large, even affecting the quantity of goods carried.

If you promote light and easy-to-carry banknotes, they will definitely be welcomed by business people.

Especially the welcome of big businessmen.

Three, within Dongyuanzhou, there is also inflation.

Inflation caused by imported spiritual coins averages about 3% per year, and some cities exceed 5% and 8%.

How did this happen in Dongyuanzhou?

Foreign trade export.

Dongyuanzhou ’s total annual export volume exceeds 3 trillion yuan, which is about twice that of Wancheng.

Why is Dongyuanzhou ’s foreign trade export so much better than Wanchengguo?

The reason is that in the cities of Dongyuanzhou in the past two or thirty years, a large number of Lingyuan factories or hydraulic factories have been built, and industrialization has been vigorously promoted to produce a large number of industrial products.

The people in Dongyuanzhou are generally diligent and smart. When they see that Wancheng's domestically produced goods are valuable, they buy them for research and carry out reverse imitations. Then, by virtue of their low labor costs, they have achieved in agriculture, textiles, primary industrial products Great achievements have been made. Although the quality of the commodities produced is average, it can defeat the similar commodities of Wancheng in Waizhou with the advantage of low prices.

Faced with the attack of low-priced commodities in Dongyuanzhou, the profits of Wanchengguo ’s primary commodities fell sharply. Seeing no profit, they even chose not to export.

Many businessmen and factory owners in Wan Chengguo have very poor perceptions of Dongyuanzhou. These things made Dongyuanzhou very angry.

But there was no alternative but to ask the official of Wancheng State to increase the technical blockade of Dongyuanzhou.

In this way, Dongyuanzhou, which had become rich with a "cottage", made a lot of money that belonged to Wan Chengguo's merchants in terms of foreign trade.

Among them are Jiang Ruyue's "credit". For the development of Dongyuanzhou and the advanced and mature technology experience of Waizhou, she has always encouraged the introduction and advocated local digestion and absorption.

Of course, she also found a solution to the problem of imported inflation caused by Wanchengguo's paper currency.

In Dongyuanzhou, paper money is also promoted.

But as soon as she made this decision, she was immediately questioned and opposed by the nine heads of state. She thought it was not reliable. How could she use it as real money?

Jiang Ruyue did not refute, just smiled and made a bet with them: the "Xiaoyao" issued by her was first issued in the directly controlled territory of Xiaoyao Palace. If the people widely accept it, then it will promote the whole continent. Then she canceled this reform and abolished the paper money, and she will bear all the losses.

The nine heads of state agreed to the gambling agreement and felt that the paper money reform would not succeed.

They didn't see Jiang Ruyue's eyes-smiling smile, and his chested expression.

A month later.

Xiaoyao coin successfully beat the nine heads of state with its circulation performance which was warmly welcomed and widely admired by the merchants.

The nine heads of state also realized the importance of the right to issue paper money ~ www.readwn.com ~ did not abide by the gambling contract, and soon issued their own paper money.

But the nine kinds of banknotes that lost their first-mover advantage haven't been as popular as Xiaoyao in the market.

Moreover, the issuance of nine kinds of banknotes is hasty, the printing technology is rough, and the anti-counterfeiting technology is backward, and it is easy to be counterfeited, which is completely inferior to Xiaoyao.

After being pitted a few times and paying tuition, he was quickly abandoned by the merchants.

In Dongyuanzhou's market, the only paper currency that is widely recognized, creditworthy, and people are willing to use is the "Xiaoyao".

Xiaoyao Palace, which controls the financial lifeline of Dongyuanzhou, has greatly enhanced its control over Dongyuanzhou.

Zhou Ming lamented about this:

"Country-to-country competition, one step ahead must not be complacent, and the latecomer advantage of being behind the chase, sometimes it is really worrying."

"Jiang Ruyue, you are quite like a father."
