Chapter 849: Looting the world gracefully

A group of people used a sumptuous dinner.
Duchess Olivia feels sorry for the Prime Minister whose workload has increased exponentially due to the start of the "Westward Movement". After greeted Her Majesty the Queen, she ran out to help the old father with his government affairs.
Others should work overtime, study and practice.
Only the two monarchs, Irvine and Livina, walked into the exquisitely decorated small hall in the White Swan Castle.
Gurgle... gurgle...
Aiwen skillfully cooks this year's new tea, and also organizes that exciting grand blueprint in his heart:
"There are so many things in this period of time. If it weren't for the small actions of the bankers to remind me, I would have almost forgotten this good deal.
As long as the two of us agree and let the allies follow up, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish this costless thing. "
Aiwen had already set a policy of "crossing the river by touching the evil gods" and was very concerned about everything that happened within the opponent's sphere of influence.
Information about the issue of banknotes due to the shortage of precious metal currencies in the "Lower Republics" came back as soon as possible.
As for how to get rid of the Yin, the bankers can talk about it later, but a golden opportunity has already been placed in front of him and Livina.
Alvin was talking, but found that there was no movement on the other side. He looked up but was dumbfounded:
"I said... what are you doing so far away from me? Is there even this kind of trust between people?"
Li Wei Na, who was sitting on the other side of Xiaobian Hall with a pair of long legs overlapping, stared at Irving with a pair of beautiful lake-green eyes, and nodded vigorously:
"um, yes!"
I still added a sentence in my heart: ‘especially when you withdraw money from me. ’
Seeing that Ivan picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, he said leisurely:
"Oh, this time it's not for you to spend money, but for making money, and it's for making big money!"
Livina's face was a little more solemn, and she gently lowered her cocked legs, with a slight suspicion in her eyes:
"Big money? How much money?"
Now that the "Tulip Alliance" has established its dominance, it is no longer the pain of tightening its belt to catch up with Hilius in the past few years.
Even if the wealth that was successfully robbed of the "Treasure Fleet" was placed in front of her, she would not be able to move Her Majesty, who was gradually taking advantage of her.
Aiwen smiled mysteriously at her:
"Is it enough to rob the world?"
With a flick of her skirt in front of her eyes, Livina had already sat in front of Irvine with a gust of fragrance, and she stood up neatly like a schoolboy.
"Good!"
Aiwen: ...reality!
"Just now [faceless man] sent a letter..."
After Ivan introduced the actions and intentions of the bankers, Livina's expression could not help but gradually became serious, and she thought thoughtfully:
"So... shall we learn from them too?"
Livina also agrees that the issuance of banknotes will be a big trend in the future.
Because the amount of money must correspond to the commodity one by one.
However, as the steam industrial revolution continues, the total economic volume of the human world has gradually increased exponentially. At this time, the reserves of gold and silver may not be able to meet the needs of economic life.
After all, the precious metals in the world are limited, but the growth of industrial products, transaction scale and frequency in human economic activities is unlimited.
If all transactions are to use precious metals as a medium, then there will be many transactions that will not be able to proceed one day.
and.
Many countries have discovered a long time ago that because of the widespread phenomenon of
bad money driving out good money
in precious metal currencies, full-value currencies have been secretly collected, and most of the precious metal currencies circulating on the market are not worthwhile.
Finally, it seriously affects economic life, causing deflation, a vicious circle.
But paper money is different.
It not only has national credit and statutory binding force, but its value can be widely recognized, and it is easy to trade and carry, and the government can print and issue it as needed.
Replacing precious metals should be a historical necessity.
However, like the Low Countries...
Livina's face couldn't help but be a little weird.
Setting up a private central bank, the government borrows money from bankers in the form of national debt, and pays high interest rates, so that the whole country can work for bankers. It is simply ridiculous!
Even ordinary citizens can't feel the mystery at all, but probably only when the banker is the real ruler of the country, this ridiculous situation will happen.
Seeing that Li Wei Na has realized the key to the problem, Ai Wencai refilled her with a cup of tea, and smiled and announced his grand plan:
"Yes, no. Paper money is indeed going to be promoted, but it cannot rely on government credit alone, but it must continue to be bound to precious metals like a gold ticket.
Let us tentatively call the currency of this tulip
golden pound
. "
The currency backed by gold and silver is not a "debt currency" that "overdrafts the future", but an "honest currency" based on the fruits of people's labor.
There is no need to fight at all. When the gadget launched by the "Lowland Republic" meets the "honest currency", there will be no second possibility other than collapse.
But the key point Ivan wanted to say was more than that, staring into Livina's eyes, he slowly uttered a word:
"I wonder if you have a concept of the term'international currency'?"
"International currency? Gold and silver?"
As the name suggests, relative to the currency circulating in the country, "international currency" is of course the currency recognized by various countries and used for international trade and international payments.
As the new world structure takes shape, transportation conditions become more convenient and international exchanges become more frequent. The birth of an "international currency" that facilitates international settlements is becoming more and more necessary.
Seeing that Li Wei Na is still unclear about the key points behind him, Ivan did not sell the key points anymore, and directly dialed:
"What I mean is to use our paper-printed'gold pound' to link gold and silver, so that this sovereign currency will become an international currency, so that all countries in the world can use the'gold pound' to settle international trade!"
Now the "Tulip Alliance" is already the most powerful national consortium in the entire material world. It has established itself as a "sea power hegemon" through successive wars, and has a well-trained and excellent navy.
The fourth-order peak transcendents below the demigods are not weaker than any national power.
In addition, the world's largest land and colony, most of the northern part of the New World, the small half of the southern continent, the entire Peacock Islands... have created a huge raw material supply and dumping market.
After taking the lead in completing the steam industrial revolution, they have the most abundant industrial products, and any commodities needed by various countries can be bought here.
Military, economic, and credit go in step with each other and have cleared all obstacles to "international currency".
of course.
If you want to truly become an "international currency," this "golden pound" must be widely circulated and exported like the lowlands, so that the world can become dependent on the "golden pound".
At that time, it is possible that 60% or even more of the currency will be used in foreign circulation.
The financial handling fees and service fees alone will also give the "Tulip Alliance" a huge advantage in global resource allocation.
And the most ruthless trick is to impose "seigniorage" on the world!
The difference between the actual cost of minting money and the surface value of the money belongs to the income of the mint. This income earned by the mint is called "Seigniorage".
Under the paper currency system, the monetary authority issues currency and obtains all income!
At that time, all countries in the world can only curse: MMP, while they have no choice but to continue to use the golden pound for settlement, and use their own labor to contribute to the tulips.
"You can still play like this?"
Livina's face was gradually dull at this time, her slender hand held her bone china teacup without moving for a long time.
Aiwen smiled, picked up his teacup and touched her:
"Civilized people like us who have washed their feet and landed ashore don't bother to do things like fighting, killing and killing. Civilized people naturally have a civilized way, putting away the pirate flag and gracefully... looting the world.
Livina subconsciously took a sip of the cold tea soup, but it seemed to have drunk a sip of strong alcohol, her face ruddy and a bit agitated.
"that...."
Leaning forward slightly, he lowered his voice and whispered with Aiwen while biting his ears. The plan to divide the spoils was completely completed. The two people hooked their shoulders, and couldn't help but screamed.
unconsciously.
These two monarchs, who are downright young people all over the world, have grown to the point where they can cause violent storms around the world with just a sneeze.
And this is a twelfth-level storm that is destined to affect the world for dozens of hundreds of years!
In addition.
The "international currency" plan is not only for sustained economic growth and taxation of the world, but also for the ambition of bankers to be locked firmly.
As long as this "international currency" linked to gold and silver still exists for one day, they will not want to quickly harvest wealth through large-scale artificial financial crises.
The invisible government of "money rights" has been completely legalized by bankers, and Ivan knew at a glance what they wanted to do.
With the continuous development of finance, capital will prefer the financial speculative market with short cycles and quick money, instead of investing in a down-to-earth real economy.
And "inflation" is one of the most powerful weapons in the hands of capital.
In this way, the government can secretly and imperceptibly confiscating the wealth of the people, and it is difficult for one person in a million to detect such theft.
But it is not the "popularly elected" government that performs this function here, but the hereditary "Eye of Wealth".
When the "gold pound" prevails.
Financial game? Things that never create value, let me work honestly on the plate of industry!
Then, Li Wei Na suddenly thought of another question, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com gradually stopped his laughter:
"Then as the economy develops further, precious metals will one day be underused, causing severe deflation, and some people will exchange for gold and silver on a large scale. What should we do then?"
Suddenly he spit out the tip of his pink tongue cutely, and gave an answer by himself:
"Looking at it? Slightly..."
Of course, the "gold and silver standard" also has inherent limitations. Although precious metals are still temporarily sufficient, the total amount is limited, and the rate of increase will gradually fail to keep up with the growth rate of commodities since the completion of the "steam industrial revolution".
This is obviously not a perfect system once and for all.
Snapped-!
A gleam of blue and white electric light burst out from Aiwen's fingertips, and Cheng Zhu said indifferently:
"Shanren's own clever plan is nothing more than a change in the anchor of the currency.
With the advancing of the ‘electrical industry’ in the next step, the rigid demand of this world is more than just gold. "
