5004 The golden trick?
Luo Huo pondered for a moment and whispered, "I'm not an economic person. I don't know much about these currency knowledge, but I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs run away!"
"Now in Europe, especially the UK, they are tightening gold and exposing silver, because silver production is high, and gold is even scarce!"
"After the Franco-Prussian War, our compensation was like this. The British did not hesitate to use force to threaten them, but we were not allowed to transport the French gold back to China!"
"The British said it very clearly. If you transport silver at will, you can transport the purchased materials, but if you want to transport gold, it is absolutely not possible!"
"What the financiers in London need is an absolute control over global gold... in this way, they can ensure the super stability of the European main currency, British Pound!"
"A country's currency is stable and a confidence is established, then it is impossible for a country to not be strong!"
"The pound has become a currency that the world trusts. Even if you hate this empire that never sets, you have to buy pounds to store, which is called safe-haven!"
"The more people pursue the pound, the higher his credit and the stronger his financial control will be... This is a trick that has been played for hundreds of years. Foreigners came to China to do business since the Ming Dynasty, and always used silver and would never use gold..."
"They even look for opportunities to illegally exchange some Chinese gold and transport it back to Europe... They love gold too much!"
"We know the Qing Dynasty's family's fortunes. There is no gold at all. The national treasury is deposited. I can't believe it if you say you use gold to buy it. Why did the Third Master fool me like this?"
At this time, Fu Yin'er spoke, "I can guess what uncle meant, is my senior brother planning to force exchange gold among the people?"
"The people are not allowed to store gold privately, and they are planning to use silver to force exchange... My senior brother knows the greed of our Chinese people for gold, so he uses this method to tempt us?"
"This is also a way to break the deadlock. China's gold has been scattered among the people since ancient times and has not entered the legal level to become the currency reserved by the state... Only this method can help the emergency!"
"China is so great that it is unimaginable, and its profoundness is unimaginable... Just like the treasure land of the capital, the imperial capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, how much gold should the people hide?"
"This game of chess may really be activated by my senior brother... Awesome, awesome!"
Fu Qing smiled awkwardly, "Actually, it's not the idea of Long Live... It's actually what Li Tuo proposed. This method is quite controversial in the court!"
"Nephew! And Lao Luo... Time is running out, so you two will tell me clearly, I will use gold to sign a treaty with you. Is it OK?"
What else do you have to say? Luo Huo and Fu Yin'er said in unison, "Okay! It's definitely OK... No matter how storm the Great Parliament is, it won't stop gold from flowing in. This is the fatal hole of those people!"
Fu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good...that's good, I want you Luo Huo to have a memorandum now! I know you have no right to sign a treaty, but if you want to sign a memorandum, let's reach an intention first!"
"With gold, within a few days after you return to China tomorrow morning, you can put pressure on the officials and businessmen in Tanggu, so that they cannot cut off the supplies for the Qing Dynasty. Special trains for food, arms, and supplies every day, give me ten trains, each train cannot be lower than twelve cars..."
"Don't talk about my dogma, I want the endless scene of trains to stabilize the hearts of the people in the capital!"
Memorandums are a common form of documentary in diplomacy. This is to prevent everyone from cheating and turn some verbal agreements into black and white without much binding force, but with this, some treacherous people can be condemned.
After a thick stack of procurement lists, it was a memorandum that Li Tuo had already drafted. The clear articles were basically the things that had just been discussed. Luo Huo looked at it and was moved. He took out a pen from his arms and wanted to sign it!
But at this moment, Fu Yin'er held Luo Huo's hand, "Uncle, wait a moment... I have a few more words to say to my uncle!"
Fu Qing looked at his nephew in confusion, and Fu Yin'er, who was like a jade man, smiled and said to his uncle, "Uncle... There are no outsiders here. If you say a few unpleasant words, don't be angry!"
"If my nephew is not wrong, I am going to hide the truth from the world and secretly travel to Chen Cang? This trap is really deep, and Uncle Luo is probably not as detailed as he thinks!"
"Does my senior brother really want to use gold now? That's right, not right! Because gold is an imaginary number, no one knows how much it can be exchanged from the public. I can only say that one batch is exchanged for another batch, but the materials are transported every day and cannot be stopped..."
"This is life-saving, I think the final treaty will be written clearly!"
"Well... in the first period of time, gold will definitely not be short of, because there are royal treasurys and noble families among the people. After exchange for it, you will definitely have to sink to the people..."
"But what if the exchange cannot be achieved? And the war has not stopped... How can the treaty continue then?"
"I'm afraid the Qing court will be lying to pay the debt? Will it be said that we have exchanged less gold for the time being, and how about adding some silver?"
"If there is not much silver in the future, will you be liable for debts? Will the court use high interest rates to lure our Chinese people to continue supplying goods?"
"If such a scene happens, we will be trapped inside!"
"That's a very embarrassing situation. You're going to betrayal, but this kind of treaty is already half an ally. If we can't get gold and don't give you supplies, you will definitely say that we don't speak morally, will never save you when we die, and even say that we are obsessed with money!"
"But if we accept silver, or simply accept your IOU..."
"Then this is no different from before! Isn't it still a long time ago? The key is that the Chinese parliament does not want the trading model in the past. They have passed the treaty because they are greedy for gold!"
"It's so difficult! It's so difficult! Uncle Luo Huo will sit on wax at that time!"
Just after this, Fu Qing's face turned red. He was just making this ghost idea, including Emperor Tongzhi, which was also the ghost idea!
Now the Qing court is very clear that the anti-Qing members of the Chinese parliament just don’t want to care about the court, just want to watch the Qing Dynasty and watch the death of the Qing Dynasty!
At this time, if you buy silver, they may not sell it to you!
Then you can only use gold to cheat. You will be given gold in the first half of the month, but then you will use various excuses to exchange it for silver or simply IOU.
Of course, IOUs are also given interest!
This is embarrassing. If the Chinese parliament is out of stock because it does not give gold?
On the surface, you act according to the contract, but you can recite the infatuation so much, especially Luo Huo, who has to bear this infatuation even more!
The Qing Dynasty would say to the whole world aggrievedly, "Look, how unreasonable the Chinese are? We either don't pay or change the payment method..."
"Is it okay to use gold? Can't we use interest? Is it all out of stock?"
"We want to unite Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Austria, Spain, Italy... Anyway, all countries are united, and everyone will scold you to death!"
"Crut your Chinese to death on the pillar of shame for the greedy villain!"
