Chapter 162: 162
The four regions sent envoys to meet in secret. They discussed the Yuan banknote, the imperial currency that was widespread among the people. And it quickly became a popular alternative to traditional currencies. Even the aristocracy in the country ignored the silver coin. Turn to the yuan banknotes massively.
Anyone who sees it touches the yuan banknote for the first time. Must be fascinated by the art of beautiful paintings on banknotes. It is also durable and will not become wet when exposed to water. Compared to the traditional silver coin that is no longer satisfying the demand, it is inconvenient, complicated, and weighs hard to carry.
As a result, the emperors of each region also wanted their region to have banknotes.
The problem with currency is the security that all regions pay great attention to. They could not use their force to force the empire to accept their terms. So what all four regions can do is to produce a currency that competes with the yuan banknote. For the independence of the country's financial sovereignty.
The ambassadors of the four countries conduct their meetings in secret. They can conclude that each country should not print its own banknotes. But the four regions should go hand in hand to print the banknotes together. Create excellent bargaining power.
When such a common conclusion is reached, The four countries immediately quarreled.
"Emperor Datang is the greatest. He must have a portrait on the banknote of the highest value." Ambassador Datang immediately defeated his emperor with significant rights. This has to do with the face of the region. As a Tang, he must not be at a disadvantage in this regard.
"Emperor Dajin is equally dignified. He has a noble bloodline of the human race. Therefore deserves to have a higher status than Da Tang. Arguing fierce, not allowing each other.
"Datang has won you in battle a lot of time. Now you know who's bigger." Ambassador DaTang showed his fist. Implied that if you do not agree, you can come in and use the force of the judgment.
Dalian and Dayi realized that their state was much lower than the other two regions. So they retreated from a distance. Watch the brawl between Datang and Dajin.
In the end, the meeting was almost down until the ambassador of Dayi had to dissuade.
"You guys, don't forget that we are now facing the empire. I suggest that you put down your stubborn pride first and come to negotiate again. "
"Right, now we must not fight with each other," added the Dalian ambassador.
Ambassador Datang and Da Jin regained consciousness once again. Everyone knows that arguing is useless. Because in the end, the greatest threat is the empire. Who is holding their sword at their throat?
The four countries then returned to the meeting to discuss one more time. Until they concluded that they would establish a new currency Called the Fen, Banknotes were printed, with images of emperors of all regions in the banknote. It shows that the four countries are harmonious. Unified.
"What should we do about the value of this new currency?" The Dalian ambassador asked curiously. He came from the grassland tribe without financial knowledge. Therefore asked for their opinion on this issue.
The truth is about the value of the currency. It has been a debate among the nobles in the royal palace for a while. They are trying to find a way to guarantee currency standards not to be impaired. Until the end, they drew out a plan in several ways, which ultimately, all parties chose to use gold. It is a guaranteed asset with a currency value.
"I think we should use gold as collateral. Each region has to send back the gold for us to produce banknotes," explained the Datang Mission.
In fact, the nobles were not fools. They can observe things and apply them. They analyzed that if they printed out the paper money, This could lead to a deterioration in the printed currency into inflation. Therefore, there must be a stable asset to guarantee the value of the money as well.
They used to think of imitating the empire. But they don't understand how to work at all. Imperial national bank Never has to exploit gold reserves. Just print out money without the gold standard. But still allows people to have confidence in the currency. The four countries did not dare to follow the empirefear of causing major damage to the economy.
The four countries, therefore, came to a consensus on the establishment of the Fen currency. Using the gold standard system, The exchange rate is 2 Fen = 1 Yuan, with the money of the cash weaker than the YuanYuan.
Of course, the establishment of currency can be done immediately. But it is facing many significant problems.
First, they needed to look at Zhao Lingxin's expression. Will all four countries establish their currency? They fear that if they act quickly Might upset the empire. It was an excuse for the kingdom to intervene. This is the situation of the four countries most feared.
The next most crucial thing is that no matter how excellent the plans are, they do not have enough advanced printing technology. Even at the beginning of typing, they didn't even have any. So they don't expect the printing of banknotes to appear anytime soon.
Hence, they very much needed the empire's help. Each emperor therefore agreed Has a resolution requesting to organize a meeting of the National League.
According to the Shenzhou Declaration, Every country has the right to call a National League meeting. To discuss cooperation between regions, So the four countries took advantage of these agreements as an international forum, with the aim of establishing banknotes.
Zhao Ling Xin is sitting in the scriptures room. Look at the messages sent.
He has no cons in it anyway.
"Let the foreign ministry be responsible for this matter. And also warned that every deal, the empire must be in the best interest," Zhao Lingxin said.
"I will hurry to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Eunuch Jang Kong walked out of the room.
The whole room became quiet. Zhao Lingxin closed his eyes and thought of something.
He just looked at the message in his hand. He noticed that the four countries must have something hidden. For confidence, Zhao Lingxin had to have more information on hand.
Zhao Ling Xin opened his eyes before saying a sentence.
"Colonel Liao Hong, come forth."
In the dark corner of the room, the study room. A black shadow appeared from the corner of the room. That was Colonel Liao Hong. The powerful Minister of the Internal Audit Office.
"I am ready to serve for Your Majesty," said Colonel Liao Hong. In addition to having a ministerial position, He also had the duty to protect the emperor in secret.
Zhao Lingxin was confident that the Inspection Bureau would definitely have some information on hand. Today the internal audit office has expanded the scope of power both within and outside the country.
There are two other subdivisions on hand, the Department of National Security. Who is responsible for the country.
And the Department of Intelligence focuses primarily on foreign countries. There are hidden agents at every level in the enemy provinces. We could say that Colonel Liao Hong was the only person on this land. Who knows all the information in a handful.
"What movements are there in these regions?" Zhao Lingxin asked.
"Your Majesty, now the royal courts are pushing for the establishment of currency." I just heard Zhao Lingxin's question. Colonel Liao Hong said the information he had come out without flawlessly.
"It's really like this." Zhao Lingxin already knew what the movement behind the Nations League Conference was.
"If all four regions want to jump into the financial markets, I'll let them know for themselves how cruel this world is," Zhao Lingxin said calmly.
Initially, he wanted to use the Yuan currency to quietly intervene in the four regions' economies until the four countries could not deny the yuan currency's existence.
But it was clear that the other party was aware that the Yuan currency was a security threat. The four countries wanted to avoid the influence of the YuanYuan. Set up their own currency to counterbalance.
Of course, doing this by all four countries has partially delayed the imperial infiltration plan. Zhao Lingxin was not happy to see, But he wanted to show everyone that the power of money was more powerful than anyone imagined.
Not everyone can control it. If they are not handled properly, they are more harmful to you than you think. Zhao Ling Xin smiled slyly. Before drawing up some plans in his head.
