Chapter 13 Order Rectification (2)
PS. Come up with today's update and get some votes for "Qidian" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!
"Let me say this, just look at the master version of the military tickets I want to come from Jingjiang County. There are seven types you issued in the Brazilian occupied area, totaling 4.5 million yuan, right?" In the Anyuan Township Government Office, Zhou Shenwo signaled his secretary to take out a stack of military tickets from the cowhide briefcase, most of which they received from the printing workshop of the Jingjiang Paper Factory.
The pictures of these military tickets are rough and blurry when printed. In short, it doesn't look very formal. Moreover, the most important thing is that there is no reserve for the issuance of this military ticket. Although the Joint Staff pretended to set up a "joint preparation database" of sea and land, and then put some junk in it, is it really worth 4.5 million yuan? No one would believe it if it were changed, right?
"Chief of Staff, in fact, I think these military tickets are still in the occupied areas. Although they have suffered serious depreciation, they have not completely collapsed. It is really amazing. How did you do it? It cannot be based on the simplicity of the Indians? To be honest, they have worked as slaves in the Portuguese manor for so many years. They don't know anything. They can barely maintain circulation and have not turned into waste paper for the butt. It is really amazing." Zhou Shenwo took another sip of matte tea and said with a smile: "I remember that you wanted to find the Northwest Reclamation Bank to help preside over the issuance of military tickets, but people think that the reputation of military tickets is bad, and they think that this is just an organization that raises military expenses for you. They will probably be cheated and avoided it. Haha, now I can't imagine that you will get it done by yourself."
Speaking of which, when the Army Department printed military tickets, it was first prepared by the joint sea and land warehouses. If you go to Curry to check out, you will find that there were only some broken linen, cotton, wood, old grain, replaced military weapons, etc., which were worth three million yuan, and it was printed in one hand.
Before the war broke out, the Army Department began to sell these military tickets at a 30% discount in China to recover some funds in advance, but the respondents seemed to be lower than expected. In desperation, the Army Department could only hold a large handful of money in its hands and prepare to tighten its belt to issue it in Brazil. Later, as more and more occupied areas, such banknotes issued by the joint preparation warehouse began to be widely circulated into a vast space including the wealthy Sao Paulo. In order to maintain the currency value of the military tickets so that it will not be depreciated in a short time, the East Coast Army also controlled the purchase and sale power of several major foods, consumer goods and goods imported from the outside world. Then, with bayonets, it forced everyone to purchase the above things with military tickets. This more or less maintained the credibility of the military tickets and prevented it from collapsing on the spot.
Later, with the acceleration of guerrilla activities in the occupied areas and the lack of manpower, the Army Department had to release Indian slaves in large quantities under the pretext of fully implementing the East Coast law, and then incorporated them into the minion army, some of which were used as military men to transport materials back and forth, and some were organized into volunteers to join the front-line battle. These were undoubtedly all of them, and the money paid was naturally military tickets. At that time, the Army Department found that the three million yuan military tickets printed in the first phase had been used (purchased land, manors and various things).
The cost of funds is huge, so the power to print military tickets was simply delegated to the hands of all military leaders on the front line, and they were allowed to print them according to actual conditions, and the military police would supervise it. At the same time, the issuing agency "Joint Preparation Database" was reorganized into "Brazil Rural Financial Cooperative", making it sound more high-end. Therefore, various types of military tickets issued in the name of Brazilian Rural Financial Cooperative (even the design of the ticket face pattern) were about 1.5 million yuan, which was quite scary.
It is conceivable that the huge military ticket of 4.5 million yuan was smashed into such a vast land with sparsely populated land, which would cause a severe inflation. Therefore, the depreciation of the ticket was actually inevitable. Just like the military tickets issued by the East Coast people in the Spanish-occupied area, the difference was only a little depreciation. If the East Coast people had not forced circulation, they would probably be like Zhou Shenwo, even the Indians would not be willing to use it.
"Haha, as we all know, the Brazilian economy - especially the southern part - is pre-capitalist socio-economic foundations with rural and local as the main body; the upper part is the primary capitalist economic foundation composed of peninsula merchants and slave owners, which is a deformed economic structure. Therefore, in terms of currency circulation, there are obvious boundaries, mainly through several channels such as the output of special products and the input of consumer materials, as well as the payment of small wages, and it is very closed." Mo Ming, the largest military leader in the country, spoke economic terms as soon as he spoke, it can be seen that he has learned a lot of theories in recent years, but only heard him say: "As the issuing authority that controls the military and political affairs of the occupied areas, the banknotes issued by the Brazilian rural financial cooperatives are circulated within the sphere of our military influence, and various consumer materials are controlled by us, then they will definitely not become worthless waste paper. Of course, serious depreciation is inevitable."
"Financial institutions with issuance rights are indiscriminately issuing banknotes, especially the amount has reached more than 4.5 million yuan, and the value of the banknotes has dropped to less than 30%. Then the banknotes that your army's decline forced the purchase of Brazilian private goods and pay wages. The benefits are really jealous. But, this food is too ugly, right? Not to mention, you have issued so many currencies now, and the face value is different. I heard that Commander Zhu Liang, the South Army, didn't know where the commander-in-chief Zhu of the South Road Army
Which bastard actually printed a bunch of three yuan and seven yuan denominations. This is too confusing and ridiculous." Zhou Shenwo said in a somewhat amused tone: "How to convert between different currencies, you can't have their own circulation circles, right? In such a mixed currency environment, the people may only be able to carry out extremely imperfect operations, and in the end they can only protect the private pockets of warlords - well, the army -, and there is no hope for comprehensive economic development."
Zhou Shenwo said the wrong thing for a moment, but it seemed that Mo Ming did not react at all, which gave him a new understanding of the thickness of the face of President Mo, the largest warlord in the army system. But in fact, the white shirt is not much stronger. What kind of chaebols and political lords can survive?
"What should we do? The scale of the war is so large, and our war expenses are so insufficient. If we do not implement active fiscal policies in the occupied areas, we do not rely on ourselves and raise our own military expenses, how can we continue the war? Let's talk about the issue of eating. Do you think that compared to those locust troops that openly robbed by Wallenstein, Gustav, and Mikhailovich (Russian Tsar), our eating habits are difficult to see where we eat. It is already very civilized and restrained, okay!" Mo Ming felt helpless and spread his hands, then took a sip of cigarettes, and said, "Actually, it's not just me.
The government affairs of our joint staff and the General Office have to participate without hesitation. After all, our army is fighting for the country, opening up living space for our descendants and fighting for land in the sun. So should the war expenses be borne by the people of the whole country? So, Lao Zhou, your finances are here to rectify the financial order of the occupied areas and try to recycle some military tickets. I don’t object to this, but there is one thing, that is, we must ensure that our military headquarters has sufficient funds for the war. This is a red line and cannot be crossed. I will not care about the rest of the matter if you do anything."
"But, by this, I'm curious about how you recycled military tickets. Could it be that you really made a fortune? It shouldn't be that we have the account of the seizure of the Army and Navy. How could you make you so generous that you have the spare time to recycle military tickets?" Mo Ming was really curious, so he asked.
"Not as exaggerated as you said." Zhou Shenwo smiled bitterly, put down the teacup in his hand, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said: "First, the 4.5 million yuan military tickets cannot be exchanged according to the original value, which will lead to the immediate bankruptcy of our finances; secondly, it is impossible to exchange them all. This pressure is too great. Moreover, many Portuguese colonists who have withdrawn have returned to northern Brazil, and it is not realistic to exchange them all. Thirdly, the supply of materials in the occupied area (this directly affects the price of goods and the currency of the military ticket) must also be handed over to the government department, and the army cannot break market rules at will; finally, your Brazilian rural financial cooperative - the original joint sea and land preparation database - must be handed over to us for management, and the military department will not interfere in the daily operations of this financial institution in the future. This is also a red line and cannot be crossed."
Mo Ming thought carefully when he heard this. The 4.5 million yuan military tickets had fallen to more than one million yuan in terms of currency value. According to Zhou Shenwo’s opinion just now, they had to exchange them according to the actual market value. If the Ministry of Finance was a little more ruthless and discounted at this price, it would probably be impossible to eventually recover this batch of flooded military tickets without spending more than one million yuan in cash, and ultimately stabilize the financial order in the occupied areas and lay a solid foundation for the next step of development.
However, with Mo Dashui's understanding of the white shirts of the Ministry of Finance, it seems that it is not very likely that these people should honestly take out millions of cash to recover military tickets. The most likely way is to take out 500,000 yuan of funds first and promise to recover military tickets printed by various departments at the market price. However, it is clearly stated that the reserves are limited and they need to queue up to exchange them one by one, and then the cycle is long. This will greatly reduce the funds needed in the short term, but at the same time, the currency value of military tickets will be quickly stabilized.
Even some goods can be used instead of cash to exchange military tickets, especially some daily necessities that are urgently needed in occupied areas, which is also hard currency! So, these white shirts are really more delicate than monkeys, and even recycling 4.5 million yuan of military tickets can be done so resolutely that it is forced to respect and say "convinced".
Chapter completed!
