Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan went on to say: "Our country treats the U.S. dollar as foreign exchange reserves. In fact, there will be endless troubles. This is equivalent to exchanging the blood and sweat of our people for U.S. dollars. As long as the U.S. prints U.S. dollars continuously, it can trade in the international market and buy The products of other countries are equivalent to the common people in our country paying for the American enjoyment of life! In our era, the high living standard of Americans comes from here!"

Fade Chen thought for a while and asked, "That's not right. If it is true as you said, Americans are printing dollars for trade, will other countries trade with them?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it will. Everyone knows that if there is too much currency, it will cause inflation and money will depreciate, but there is a process of depreciation. For example, if I print an additional [-] million US dollars and trade with it, you will Do you know that the money has depreciated? Of course not, so you will trade with me at the original price."

"When our trade is over, I have already taken away the actual wealth, and then you will find that the money has suddenly increased, because I am not only trading with you, so the price has risen, and the money is worthless, waiting for you When you buy things again, [-] million dollars can no longer buy the original [-] million dollars, so I secretly embezzled part of your wealth, do you understand?"

Fade Chen nodded and said, "Although it's not easy to understand, I still understand it."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's good. In our era, the United States used this method to embezzle the wealth of the world, but in this era, the situation will be fundamentally different. We will replace the position of the United States, our currency It will become the world currency! At that time, only we can embezzle other people's wealth, and no one will embezzle our wealth again!"

Chief of Staff Lei Yun laughed when he heard Lin Yuan's words: "Comrade Captain is very clear, even I, who studies economics, feel ashamed."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Comrade Lao Lei, you are welcome. The focus of our next work is to issue our own banknotes. We don't use gold and silver as reserves. The common people trust us and should accept this. currency."

Lei Yun asked: "Internationally? Our trade volume with foreign countries is not small, will they accept it?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I looked at the list of foreign trade goods that day, and found that 90.00% of the above goods are unique to us, and only we can produce them in the world, so we force them to use our currency. If they don't use it, we won't sell it, let's see what they do!"

Lin Yuan went on to say: "Now there are only a few commodities in the world: ore, grain, textiles, chemical products, and in the future there will be petroleum, automobiles, electronic products, etc. We have absolute advantages in these fields , our long-term goal in the future is to occupy these markets, and when we occupy these markets, our currency will truly become the world currency."

"And this process will be extremely difficult. Let's take iron ore, petroleum and other mineral raw materials as examples. High-quality iron ore is produced in Australia and other places, and oil is in the Middle East. If we do not hold these resources in our hands, then Products from these places will crowd out our products in the market, so we must control major industrial ore producing areas such as the Middle East, Australia, and South Africa! This process will inevitably confront the old European powers, and even break out new ones. war!"

Everyone nodded with serious faces, and Lin Yuan continued: "These are long-term, and our most recent task is to promote banknotes to the mainland. In this process, we must not only fight against the conservative forces of the Qing court, but also fight against foreign banks. struggle, so my next step is to go to Shanghai, which is now a veritable financial capital, and many foreign banks have their headquarters there, so I will wipe out those foreign banks that plunder the blood and sweat of the Chinese people!"

Lin Yuan discussed the issue of currency with Lei Yun after opening, Lei Yun said: "After our research, we found that we can exchange a dime for a copper plate. In this case, one tael of silver is almost a hundred yuan. We let The common people come to exchange as soon as possible, and it is stipulated that copper, silver, and gold in the society are not allowed to circulate after May [-]st."

Lin Yuan said: "Then execute it."

Lei Yun said: "We decided to call the newly issued currency RMB. It uses anti-counterfeiting technologies such as letterpress printing and color-changing ink. What pattern would be better to print on it?"

Lin Yuan said: "I think the portraits of various ethnic groups are printed on the front, and the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland are printed on the back. In short, it is something that embodies our Chinese culture."

Lei Yun nodded, and then said: "I'm still a bit worried, that is, whether the common people will accept our currency. There is definitely no problem in the Northeast, and the same is true in Mongolia, but it is hard to say in the vast interior."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "As long as merchants can accept our currency and agree to settle goods in RMB, the common people will have no problem. There are ten major merchant groups in China in this era, the most prosperous of which are Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants. Needless to say, merchants, after the Mongolian War, our relationship has become extraordinary, so they can accept our currency. As for Huizhou merchants, I will go to Shanghai this time to meet Huizhou merchants and let them Accept our currency!"

Lei Yun nodded, and then said: "Actually, there is another person you can't get around, and that person is the Qing government! What if the Qing government doesn't allow you to issue currency?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You have too high a view on the government. The Qing government in this era doesn't understand banks and currency at all. You see so many foreign banks issuing banknotes. Has the Qing government ever managed it?"

Lei Yun smiled and nodded. Lin Yuan came out from here and set off for Shanghai. On the way, Shen Wanqing asked, "How do you plan to eradicate those foreign banks after you arrive in Shanghai?"

Lin Yuan said: "The reason they can continue to open is because there are deposits of Chinese people, businessmen, and some officials. After I went there, on the one hand, I spread rumors everywhere to make depositors lose trust in the banks. On the other hand, I investigated these banks. , Find their faults, close down a few, and kill one to make an example.”

Shen Wanqing asked: "What big mistake can these banks make that allow you to ban them? If they have not made a big mistake, it would be unreasonable for you to force them to be banned."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already thought about it, and I can find their fault if they are not wrong!" On March [-]th, Lin Yuan arrived in Shanghai with a group of people. In Shanghai, Lin Yuan first went to the Northeast People's Bank to inquire about the currency distribution situation. The Northeast People's Bank is located in the center of Shanghai, next to the building of Zhang's Industrial Company. The building is like a palace, very grand.

Lin Yuan came in to find the president. The president is also a master of economics from the Beijing Ship School, named Xie Ning. When he saw Lin Yuan, he said anxiously: "Captain, you can count on it. Our currency distribution situation can be counted." Miserably at home!"
