Thinking of Gold Standard
Chapter 1560:Thinking of Gold Standard
Now that it has been decided to implement the gold standard, Liu Cher has to take the lead.
Liu Cher called Yanyi and said to him, “Qing went to the Shaofu and asked how many gold reserves there are in the warehouse now?”
“No!”Yan Yi led the order, half an hour later, came back to report: "Your Majesty, the young provincial Qing report, now the inner vault has a total of 354,322 gold..."
Liu Chen listened to a pang and smashed a mouth: “There are really many!”
It's really a lot!
Three hundred and thirty thousand gold, converted into the weight of the afterlife, is about one hundred and seventy tons.
Many modern countries in the future may not have so much gold reserves!
This fully shows that Liu Chen, the emperor, has a wealth.
Not to mention that when the four kings of Qilu fell, they contributed more than 150,000 gold to the inner vault!
At present, Liu Chen can have more than such gold.
He clapping his hand, called an eunuch, and asked, “How many gold reserves are in the palace now?”
“Return to your majesty, there must be about three hundred thousand dollars...”
That’s about a hundred tons of gold.
If you count other scattered gold reserves (court concubines and East Palace reserves), Liu Chen can now take out more than 300 tons of gold.
The total amount may be close to $800,000!
To be able to save so much gold, on the one hand, thanks to corrupt officials and thugs.
Without them, Liu Chen’s gold reserves would be at least one-third less.
On the other hand, it is the blessing of Anton's gold rush.
Andong's gold rush, every year for the whole Han chamber, into the whole chamber, into the gold of 100,000 gold.
Especially in the past two years, gold mining technology has begun to improve, making gold production greatly increased, and sometimes it can take 20,000 or 30,000 gold in a month.
Anton's gold, coupled with China's original large number of rich gold mines in this period, so the gold stock increased significantly.
You know, in history, in the past 40 years, the gold given to the generals and soldiers has been as much as more than 800,000 gold!
The total amount of gold buried in Maoling is as much as 400,000 gold!
It's horrible!
In contrast, although Liu Cher now has more gold in his hands, in fact, there are still many gold held by the private and private hands.
“Almost seven hundred and fifty thousand gold...” Liu Che counted the gold he could now use.
The internal pool must leave at least 200,000 yuan to be used as a reserve to prevent the country from having access to emergency problems.
In this way, the gold that can be used as a gold standard reform is 600,000 gold.
Judging from the experience of casting gold and five baht in the past, the average gold is about 95 to 100 (one pound, 16, two, two or two, 24 baht, in theory, pure gold coins can only cast seventy-six, but the country will not be so pure, cute and silly white sweet, even five baht money will be mixed with lead, iron, gold this precious matter of doping impurities is very normal).
In other words, 600,000 gold, ideally can cast more than 60 million gold and five baht.
Worth more than $600,000.
If you put it in the market, it can basically fill the problem caused by the lack of coins.
If the gold standard system of future generations is adopted, the role of this gold can be magnified by at least five times!
But the problem is...
The gold standard system, Liu Cher brewed for several years, so far, the conditions are still somewhat immature.
First of all, the gold standard system, to consider is the credit problem.
Is the people accepting it?Is it approved?
Any currency, if the people do not accept, do not approve, it is no different from waste paper!
Finally, there is the issue of anti-counterfeiting technology.
At present, there is no such high printing technology as the future, and there is no superb anti-counterfeiting technology.
If a paper or other material currency is issued, it is likely that the only result is a flood of counterfeit currency, and the country and the people will suffer disastrous consequences.
This is not a matter of touching the stone across the river, and the tuition fee can solve.
"It seems that for the time being, it can only imitate the tiger character system as an anti-counterfeiting method of currency..." Liu Cher sighed, touched his forehead, and then shook his head and vetoed the idea.
The so-called tiger character system is to adopt the current army tiger character anti-counterfeiting technology.
Divide a certain dish in half, half left in the country and half handed over to the holder.
The two can be legally valid, otherwise they will not be recognized.
This can effectively prevent fraud and prevent fraud.
However, it is not conducive to circulation, and it can only be used for large transactions.
You can't, one gold or two gold, and you can use it in this way, right?
The relevant staff and officials are not busy?
Anything that cannot circulate and is troublesome has no future.
After all, the gold standard is a social and financial system, not something that entertains itself in a small circle.
If so, is there now a "golden edict" and a "golden edict" in the circle of princes and noble princes?
Why bother to play with the gold standard?
“What about a situation similar to that?”Liu thought.
In the process of the transformation of Chang'an in the past six years, in order to bid for the store, there have been similar vouchers.
Today, this certificate system, under the assurance and promotion of Liu Cher, has gradually become a credit certificate recognized by the big businessmen.
Many people choose to spend a lot of money in the province, and then get a certificate from the younger house jointly issued by the young government and the patriarchate.
Once you need to access, you can use this certificate to collect cash.
This certificate can also be used directly to offset taxes.
Because of its convenience and flexibility, it is welcomed by many people.
Even many people see it as a means of patting the royal bullshit.
But again, there are many problems with this certificate, and it is difficult to circulate widely.
Unless, of course, it will be improved into a paper credit currency similar to the one.
“It seems that I can only turn to the Mo family...” Liu Cher calculated: “If it is necessary to issue a currency that can circulate widely on a large scale, at least between the middle and the upper echelons, then two problems must be solved...”
"The first is anti-counterfeiting, the second is simple and high-identification!"
Money that cannot be faked is a disaster, and things like the tiger system and the current mortgage certificate are too complicated and the process is too cumbersome.
It is impossible for the people to accept and approve similar products.
It is like the afterlife's Alipay and WeChat Pay.
If you pay a payment, you need to communicate with the bank first, and then prove to the bank that it is you, and finally you need to sign a lot of documents.
Who will use it?
In any case, most people are absolutely too lazy to engage in such a complex thing and pay directly in cash.
In this world, the only ones who can help Liu Cher solve these two problems are the technical fanatics of the Mo family.
