Phi-Fic Chapter 679 Grain and Military Pay
Chapter 679 Grain and Military Pay
Due to the unbalanced development of capitalism, the economic strength of major capitalist countries has changed repeatedly, and the inherent contradictions and defects of the US dollar-centered international monetary system are increasingly exposed.
The defects of the gold exchange system itself, the instability of the reserve system, the defects of the balance of payments adjustment mechanism, and the difficulty of unifying internal and external balance.
These defects, even in modern society, cannot be avoided. If placed in this era, these contradictions will become more prominent.
However, the advantage is that in this era, capitalism in Daqin is only in its infancy and has not yet developed.
The flaws that could threaten the system are not yet so obvious.
In addition, there are actually very few exchanges between countries in the world at this moment, and foreign exchange and the like are almost unused.
These countries will have a large demand for foreign exchange only when they trade with Daqin.
As for the trade between small countries, the amount is not huge. If it is only for currency exchange, this is actually unnecessary.
Moreover, the purpose of Ying Yu's proposal of such a policy at this moment is not to balance the economic problems among countries in the world.
He just wants to use the operation of this system and some methods to strengthen Daqin's interests.
Moreover, Ying Yu's plan at this moment is not to equate Daqin's currency with gold, but to exchange gold for silk.
He also does not intend to completely copy this system, he only takes some of the measures that are available under the current situation.
In general, Ying Yu's goal at this moment is to use Daqin's coins as a yardstick for currency exchanges around the world.
Ying Yu naturally knew the benefits of doing so. After those small countries tasted the sweetness, they would definitely want to stop it.
As long as there is such a good start, after that, Ying Yu will further include other commodities into the scope of Daqin coin trading.
Gradually eroding the resistance of other countries will always achieve Ying Yu's goal.
After a whole morning of discussions, finally in the main hall, the ministers expressed their opinions based on the ideas proposed by Ying Yu.
Finally, at the last minute, a feasible plan was drawn up.
Everyone has confirmed that this matter can be done, and it is finally confirmed.
Ying Yu's imperial decree was issued, and competent people were needed to do it.
General Chen Ping was in charge of the last inspection and major maintenance of the Silk Road.
This time, of course, the Silk Road needs to be restructured, so this matter must also fall on Chen Ping's head.
Ying Yu directly named Chen Ping to take over the matter from above the main hall.
Chen Ping knelt down and thanked Ying Yu for his trust, and accepted the job.
Chen Ping naturally knew that the money he could get from this matter was definitely not small.
Now, the storm of anti-corruption in Daqin has been extinguished. As long as the actions are not excessive, there are actually no major problems.
Furthermore, if the country is going to vigorously crack down on corruption, Chen Ping will definitely know about it immediately, and then his petty actions will definitely be restrained immediately.
In fact, Ying Yu has always known these things, but he also knows very well that Chen Ping knows it well, and what he did is harmless.
So there has been no problem.
Originally, at today's court meeting, Ying Yu still had a major event to announce.
However, he did not expect that the entire court meeting would be spent just on the matter of reorganizing the Silk Road.
Now, the time has already passed noon, and it is not impossible to continue the discussion today.
But the officials were hungry, and the matter didn't just happen overnight, so Ying Yu didn't continue to go to court.
Second, Japan and North Korea will proceed as scheduled.
Ying Yu brought up what he hadn't said yesterday but at this time.
Very short answer, only two words, Brazil!
The purpose is also very simple, it is for the rubber tree in Brazil.
And Ying Yu is determined to win, he has already planned everything, and there will be no mistakes.
It's just that although Ying Yu's original intention was not to resort to violence during this trip to Brazil.
But in fact, what is the situation in Brazil today?Ying Yu didn't know.
If you get there, the local aborigines will be extremely uncooperative.
Or in terms of their level of civilization, they simply cannot understand the idea of being hired as a worker.
It could not be said that at the last moment, Ying Yu could only use force to force the local aborigines to become his own.
Of course, when it is still possible to negotiate, try not to use force.
Because Ying Yu knows that as long as force is used, it will not only hurt the Brazilians, but also the people of Daqin.
Life is priceless, and when there is nothing to do, we can only sacrifice it.
But as long as there is still a way to think about it, the sacrifice can be avoided, so try to avoid it.
This is what Ying Yu has always thought, so he must prepare enough property for this trip.
At this moment, all countries in the world can be said to be in a state of isolation.
Except for the countries in the Western Regions around Daqin, countries that have established trade relations with Daqin.
After all, there are only a few such cases. Even assuming that Brazil is in the local area, there is trade with the surrounding areas.
But they absolutely didn't know the existence of Daqin, so even if they brought Daqin's coins to Brazil, it would have no effect.
Therefore, even if they arrive in Brazil and hire them as their own workers, they cannot be paid with Daqin coins.
In the end, it is inevitable to go to the situation of bartering.
So what Ying Yu is thinking about right now is to collect enough supplies and bring them to Brazil.
When it came time to barter, they had something to offer to hire Brazilian workers.
Of course, Ying Yu didn't expect to be able to solve the workers' problems in this way.
But at least this is a path. With Ying Yu's thoughtful way of doing things, this must be prepared in advance.
Preparing supplies for Brazil is the first step, and the second step is to send troops to the world!
Ying Yu had already thought about it a long time ago. After everything was ready, he would inevitably declare war on many countries in the world.
This is the blood-sucking action necessary for Daqin to break the barriers of the times.
This is also an imperative action that cannot be delayed by anything and cannot be canceled because of anything.
The reason why Ying Yu wanted to take Brazil before sending troops was precisely because Brazil was rich in rubber trees.
Rubber can perfectly solve the problem of grain transportation.
As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass. If you want to start a war, the first thing you should solve is the problem of food and grass supply.
The problem of food and grass is solved, and the next step is the military salary.
The military pay also needs to be prepared in advance. After all, it is to be paid to the soldiers in real terms, and as many soldiers need to be paid as much money to them, there is no room for mistakes.
This is something that cannot be shaken. No matter how powerful a country is, if the army's salary cannot be paid, then the army of such a country must have no combat effectiveness.
Especially now, the war that Daqin wants to launch is not to defend his own homeland.
For the soldiers, the feeling of defending the country will be reduced by another point.
Under such circumstances, the military salary may be the only prerequisite to guarantee them that they can go through life and death for Daqin.
