Chapter 726： Open door, free trade (1/2)
Talk about your reasons, Padrik," Gao Wen looked at the imperial business and financial director in front of him. His face was serious and serious. "You should know that the implementation of credit currency is a more radical move, and the pace of change is too large. It means that the difficulty and risk of change will rise. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty," Padrick said, pressing the collar of the black short dress and taking a deep breath and slowly said, "I made this suggestion, the main reason is... Tifeng."
"Tifeng..." Gao Wenluo said, "Say it."
"Your Majesty, you said that there must be a war between us and Tifeng, and in my opinion, this war has already begun - I think you think so. We just evaded a real knife. The war of guns, but in economic terms, our contest has only just begun, and at this stage, the essence of this contest... is the contest of gold settlement."
Gao Wen looked at Padrek's eyes. He did not hide his approval in his eyes and signaled the other party to continue.
“Titan’s alternative currency is based on gold. Their bank issued banknotes that can be used to exchange gold. However, when it comes to orders with Cecil, since the two sides have not yet established a new currency interface, we Still directly in gold. We purchase a large amount of textiles and other primary industrial products from Tifeng, and export magic parts and trains and railways. The latter has very few orders, but the value is huge, so in general, Tifeng’s gold is Flowing to Cecil with a slow, unobtrusive magnitude.
"Your Majesty, you should know that Titan's aristocratic reforms are far more temperate than us. They retain a large number of old aristocrats who, in addition to losing their privileges, retain a large amount of personal property.
“In simple terms, Tifeng has a large number of aristocratic treasury that is not controlled by the royal family. The gold that is paid to us... In fact, many of them are privately invested, fundraised, and financed by countless aristocrats in Tifeng. Less than half of the way they came together came directly from the treasury of Titan's Imperial Bank. Therefore, for a long time, Tifeng people would not find their gold outflow - not only involves very large and long-term Statistical work, and there are a large number of nobles in order to bypass the railway investment restrictions set by Rosetta Augustus, using various methods to hide the trivial but large-scale golden flows..."
Listening to Padrek’s words, Gao Wen could not help but think of Daniel’s report to himself:
In order to compete for the interests of the railway system, the small and medium-sized nobles of Tifeng are trying their best to intervene in those projects, and in order to bypass the series of obstacles set by Rosetta Augustus, they are the most common. The trick is to borrow from the bank in the form of family guarantees and joint guarantees, and then “cooperate” with the bank (after all, half of Titan’s banking system is in the hands of the nobility group), and transfer the creditor’s rights to Cecil Railway Investment Company. Then, in the form of repaying their debts, they used their family treasury to pay Seychel’s debts in batches, thereby obtaining shares in various shells and earning profits from railway operations...
This complex and "exciting" operation circumvented their regulatory system.
Rosetta Augustus may be an iron-clad emperor. He used the court battle to successfully control the powerful upper-class aristocrats of the Tifeng Empire. He shocked and conquered the small and medium-sized aristocrats in the country, but in the corner of the gutter he could not care about. Among the small aristocratic groups that are gradually transforming from the old aristocracy to the capitalist, the "creativity" and "struggling spirit" that people show in the interest are clearly beyond the imagination of the Emperor of Tifeng.
The gold of Tifeng is flowing in a secret and trivial way.
"The most important thing we need to maintain this trend is to maintain the status quo of gold settlement," Gao Wen said slowly as he followed Padrick's ideas. "And if we establish a substitute currency system, the law of economic development. Starting, it is a matter of time for two countries to establish a new currency interface, guarantee each other and settle in SGD, and once the currency for settlement becomes a new bank-controlled new currency, Rosetta Augustus can Effectively control the trend of gold outflows - he may even discover the traps in the process of domestic industrial and economic development in time, and discover those things that we have painstakingly arranged, and with his wisdom, he will soon be able to solve these hidden dangers. ”
The issuance of credit currency and the creation of new currency settlement barriers between Tifeng and Cecil are the means to maintain the gold settlement of the two countries and delay the reaction time of Rosetta Augustus.
"Yes - we have to help the investors of Tifeng to keep this 'golden shortcut'," Padrick nodded. "Of course, even if we choose the alternative currency, we can continue to ask for gold settlement. - I support credit money for another reason.
“Tifeng people don’t just do business with us – they know that the goods produced by the factory need to be sold to generate value, and Cecil, as a country that also develops the magic industry, will not accept them honestly. Output, so they will definitely look for new markets..."
Padrek just said that the amber standing on the side looks like a stranger to the sky suddenly said: "Tifeng may be in contact with the Gaoling Kingdom, perhaps in the dispute against the Blue Rock area, if it is true, then The negotiations should have been made soon."
"...They are preparing to trade with the Kingdom of Gaoling, and may even be eyeing the market of the silver empire," Gao Wen thought of the answer, but then looked at Amber with a little doubt. "This is the intelligence of the southern part of the mainland, the Military Intelligence Bureau." Shouldn’t it penetrate there?”
"I saw Sonya this morning. She casually mentioned that the Silver Empire has recently re-measured the Lanyan disputed deforestation area. In addition, three days ago, the technical exchange documents of the Silver Empire and the Magic Energy Technology Department also mentioned one sentence-- - The Magic Net unit produced by Tifeng can also be used in the standard operating environment. Except for the triangle of the Lanyan dispute area, Tifeng and the Silver Empire do not directly border and communicate with each other. They can access the Magic Net unit produced by Tifeng. The biggest possibility may be the inflow from the Gaoling Kingdom, which may be the 'trade sample' of the Gaoling Kingdom. The three countries have been raving about the love and hate in these years, basically revolving around the Lanyan dispute area. I think of these things..."
Amber said of course, as if all of this was just something she did at her leisure time.
However, Gao Wen has already widened his eyes.
After a while, he regained his gaze and nodded with a smile: "Good, you did a good job."
Amber hugged his arms and his ears trembled: "That is, I am so a god..."
"Your Majesty, it seems that the situation is indeed as I expected," Padrik said, bowing. "Tifeng is setting up a market in the southern part of the mainland. The Gaoling Kingdom should have opened its doors to them. The Silver Empire must also be mentioned to a certain extent. Feng establishes trade relations - although we have good relations with the Silver Empire and technical cooperation, this does not prevent the elves from purchasing the goods of the Tifeng people. On this basis, the size of the city and the city of the Gaolin Kingdom must be more Don't think about it, they will all become the market for Tifeng people.
“Tifeng will establish a wide range of commercial activities in the western and southern parts of the continent, where trade participants will settle in Tifeng’s currency – except for the silver empire’s strength to compete with Tifeng, Tifeng Other countries should be in the dominance of economic activity.
“I call it ‘Tivon Clearing Area’.
“And what we are doing is similar to Tifeng. We are expanding the scale of trade with the Ogure tribe. You have already planned to spread the railway to Ogure. In the north, the Victorian Archon is establishing with the Violet Kingdom. Communicate and try to get in touch with the Principality of the Holy Dragon.
