5031 Gold can also become currency
"Slaves have been studying Western finance for a while. They have privately contacted many European talents. I heard from those Europeans that the mainstream of human currency in the future must be separated from physical objects, Daxing paper money..."
"It is even possible that in the future, there will be credit currency and credit banknotes that do not lock in gold and silver..."
"What is money? Money is nothing more than something that most people trust... For example, pound banknotes, people in Europe believe that Europeans have established credit for pounds!"
"But if you send this pound note to the deep mountains and forests of our Qing Dynasty, the people can wipe their butts because they have no credit!"
"Okay! Since one credit can solve our current difficulties, let's find a breakthrough in credit, instead of looking for money stupidly..."
Yang Zhi tilted his head and looked at the stars outside the window and shook his head and thought, "It's the war, and the people's credit for the court is the moment of loosening... If you want to restore your credit at this time, the court will have to fight a refreshing victory on some battlefields!"
"It has stabilized the hearts of the capital, and the news of victory has come. The people believe that Your Majesty will not lose. Then it is not a big deal to temporarily exist in the treasury!"
"This is the first strategy, it depends on the lives of the new army and the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Camp!"
"There is another strategy, that is, can we print a batch of paper money specifically for gold, allowing them to circulate in the market, so that this currency has a higher credit than the Beipiao and Nanpiao!"
"That's right, right... Your Majesty, think about it carefully. If we give one or two gold tickets, we will clearly tell the people that one or two gold tickets can be exchanged for one or two gold items!"
"So what's the difference between these gold tickets and gold? Let these gold tickets flow, big merchants will definitely use this large amount of paper money to trade!"
Zai Chun frowned and asked, "Your method is probably difficult... If there is not so much gold in your treasury, who would believe it? The gold we exchanged for is going to the Chinese to buy arms..."
Yang Zhi nodded, "Your Majesty is right, but the credit of the people may not depend entirely on us to deal with the people?"
"We are not always exchanging gold, but we are temporarily exchanging gold during the war. After the rebellion of the Japanese Sixth is pacified, our economy can still be saved slowly!"
"It really doesn't work. Your Majesty issued an order to develop gold mines outside the pass for five or six years. The gold exchanged can still be returned slowly!"
"As long as the situation is peaceful and the people are well fed and well-dressed, their credit will naturally be restored, but this requires time and the efforts of the soldiers on the battlefield..."
"Yes! The court has no time now, and it's a matter of time that I feel uncomfortable! Tell me quickly, I don't have time to listen to your vernacular!" Zai Chun was a little impatient.
"Your Majesty calms down... I have another last solution! That is to borrow credit... we can borrow credit!"
"If the golden ticket is printed and issued, it will definitely be impossible for the people to accept it in a short period of time. They do not believe it...but the court can go to find strong support!"
"British! There are also Chinese people..." Yang Zhi gritted his teeth and said these two names, "to negotiate with Britain, Chinese people, even the United States, Fusang, North Korea, etc."
"Teach them to buy our gold tickets, allow them to pay with silver and then eat the gold tickets!"
"We have fought a civil war, but others have not fought a civil war! Our credit is not high enough, and their credit is still there! In today's era, people are afraid that foreign devils and second devils will be in a day or two!"
"Once they find that the foreign devils also like these golden tickets, then their credit will naturally increase!"
"The most important point is that the people are too talkative and there are hundreds of millions of people. It is impossible for us to reason with them one by one and convince them to have confidence!"
"But it's simple to negotiate with these countries, one-to-one, officials to officials, and national credit to national credit... Will the British be afraid that we will regret it? Will the Chinese be afraid that we will be trashed?"
"They are not afraid, so it is still very easy to do their job! As long as these countries are willing to continue to earn, then there will be one more choice for the gold tickets in the hands of the people!"
"Either they keep it in their own hands and wait for the war to be over before exchanging it with the court, or they are anxious to exchange it with these foreign devils and two devils. Anyway, these people promise to eat..."
"Of course, slaves are more inclined to the last situation, that is, our court won the civil war and the people's confidence is restored, but they will not exchange gold..."
"After several years of development, these golden tickets have gradually become a kind of currency circulating in our Qing Dynasty! Haha, this is a good thing, and there is another credit currency!"
Yang Zhi's words made Emperor Tongzhi's eyes lit up, "Well... there is a little reason to say this! So how do you guarantee that Britain, the United States, and the Chinese will accept these golden tickets? Why will they definitely earn it?"
"Interest! My Majesty, let's give interest! And promise them... After the war is over, they can exchange these gold tickets back to gold!"
"It's better to do business one-to-one. You can explain the truth to these smart people. After the war is over, we can negotiate slowly and negotiate a timetable for gold exchange!"
"Anyway, they are not at a disadvantage, and our court has also got room for rushing around, so why not do it? Isn't this cash flow we want to overcome the difficulties?"
"Okay! OK... It makes sense, you did not disappoint me!" Zai Chun clapped his hands excitedly.
But Yang Zhi swallowed the second half of the words into his stomach, thinking that this golden ticket is not at all risk for the foreigners and the second Japanese, because you are guaranteed by the national credit of the Qing Dynasty.
If Emperor Tongzhi wins, everyone will be happy, and Emperor Guangxu wins? Everyone will be happy. Will Yi dare to abolish the golden tickets at that time? He will definitely not dare, because he dare not exchange them, and he will not be able to sit still!
As long as this seal is used by the Qing Dynasty's national treasure jade seal, even if you change to ten emperors, you have to admit it, unless you overthrow the Qing Dynasty and change the legal system.
But even if the Japanese Six overthrow the Qing Dynasty, they would not be able to pay any debts. As long as there are more foreign guns and cannons in their hands than you, you have to be honest!
No matter who wins, the gold tickets have to be exchanged for the great powers. Why don’t they just make a profit without losing money?
Zaichun didn't know what Yang Zhi was thinking in his stomach, and asked, "The solution is a good solution, but the word "gold ticket" is too ugly. Let's change to a better name!"
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a great talent, please give your name!"
"Well... let me think about it! Or... or what about it... gold coupon?"
"Gao! Your Majesty is really high! If you have a good gold round coupon, just call it this name. People on the market call money silver rounds, which are used to describe silver coins. We call it golden rounds, and it has a neat parallelism and a good name!"
"Hahaha... OK, you go and make the paper and prepare for printing. Let's get this gold coupon to alleviate the cash flow!"
