Chapter 1140: Discovery
Zhu Muyun's guess was right, the Central Reserve Bond is indeed going to enter the ancient star. It's just that there is a lot of resistance to the implementation of the China Reserve Bonds. At least, in Shanghai. Zhongjiang Industrial Bank and the Guxing Branch of the Central Reserve Bank are the issuing and promotion agencies of the China Reserve Bank in Guxing.
In order to avoid strong resistance from merchants and ordinary people like Shanghai, it is necessary to cooperate with the Political Security Bureau in advance and quickly promote the Central Reserve Bonds through special means.
The first step in promoting the China Reserve Voucher is to exchange it for fiat currency. At present, fiat currency is still the "legal tender" in China, whether it is in North China or Central China, Shanghai or Guxing, fiat currency can circulate smoothly. However, the Nanking government and Japan had realized that this situation was extremely detrimental to their rule.
Japan had military stamps as early as Guxing, and now all kinds of taxes and military expenditures of the Japanese army, including Zhu Muyun's official salary, are all issued with military stamps.
"In the future, taxes such as customs, salt, and unified taxes will only be collected from the Central Reserve Coupons, and the military expenses incurred by the Imperial Army and the funds for the purchase of materials by Japanese merchants will be paid by the Central Reserve Coupons. Your financial department, all kinds of fees received and paid, must also be in the only currency. By the end of this year at the latest, fiat currency will be withdrawn from the Guxing market, and early next year, the fiat currency of the surrounding counties and cities of Guxing will all be withdrawn from the market. Li Bangfan said slowly.
"What about military tickets?" Zhu Muyun said: This is the most important tool for Japan to control and plunder the materials and finances in the areas under its control, and how can they be willing to give it up.
Zhu Muyun has always liked to use hard currency for settlement, also because he knows very well that these banknotes on the market may depreciate at any time. No matter how much you collect at that time, it will be a piece of waste paper.
"Temporarily coexisting, now it is fiat currency that is going to be expelled. The China Reserve Coupon will be exchanged with the fiat currency at an exchange rate of one to two, and our task is to ensure that the fiat currency cannot gain a foothold in Guxing, and the fiat currency on the market will no longer be in circulation. Li Bangfan said that this matter cannot be completed by Zhu Muyun alone, and it requires the full cooperation of government agencies.
The reason why Li Bangfan specifically told Zhu Muyun was just to warn him that he should pay attention in the future, unless there are special circumstances, it will be illegal to use gold bars, silver dollars, and fiat currency.
As for military tickets, they didn't really affect at all. Even if military tickets are withdrawn from the market in the future, they will only retreat from the front of the stage to the background. Even, it can better serve the Japanese army.
"I'll do whatever the bureau says." Zhu Muyun said.
"Soon, the Interim Regulations on the Crime of Obstructing the Singapore Currency will be promulgated and implemented, and you, as a law enforcement officer, will not know the law and break the law." Li Bangfan reminded.
"Of course, in the future, I will only have the China Reserve Bills in my hand, and there will be no fiat currency and other currencies. As law enforcement officers, we must not only take the lead in using the China Reserve Bonds, but also tell the people around us to use the China Reserve Bonds. Zhu Muyun said solemnly.
From the moment he stepped into the Political Security Bureau, Zhu Muyun had already broken the law. He was an undercover agent of the military commander and a sworn enemy of the Japanese army. Don't talk about the use of the other party's currency, more serious things, Zhu Muyun doesn't know how much he has done. Even, Jiang Tianming, Yang Jinqu, Ma Xingbiao, Jia Xiaotian, etc., many people in the Political Security Bureau had accidents, all of which were caused by Zhu Muyun.
"That's good." Li Bangfan nodded with satisfaction, he opened the drawer, took out a few banknotes, handed them to Zhu Muyun, and said, "This is the Central Reserve Certificate, you can take a look." ”
The first batch of central reserve bonds were issued with 1 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan coupons, and 1 cent, 5 cent, 1 jiao, 2 jiao, and 5 jiao auxiliary currency coupons. These banknotes are printed by manufacturers such as Shizuoka Factory and Toppan Fuji Factory, and the paper is excellent and beautifully printed.
"No worse than fiat currency." Zhu Muyun immediately took out the fiat currency on his body to compare, in order to compete with the fiat currency, the Central Reserve Bond also invested a lot of money in printing.
Fiat currency was printed with the support of foreign countries, both in technology and on paper, and it was not bad. The Central Reserve Bonds are printed in Japan, and in order not to make the people feel that the Central Reserve Bonds are inferior to legal tender, they have worked hard from the beginning of printing. At least, it feels much better than the military ticket that happened in the Japanese army.
Moreover, this is issued by the "Central Reserve Bank", and for the common people, looking at the portrait of the former prime minister on it, there will be a sense of intimacy.
"Of course, it's printed in Japan, and the quality is top-notch." Li Bangfan proudly said that Japan's printing technology was many times stronger than China's. Even if China uses foreign technology and equipment, the Chinese Reserve Bill is no worse than the fiat currency.
"Bureau, this is our own printed currency, can we use it freely in the future?" Zhu Muyun said with a yearning look on his face that in the past, the Nanjing government did not have its own currency, and the market was full of fiat currency, military bills, Huaxing coupons, and Union Bank coupons.
And ** base areas also have some local currency, all kinds of currencies are popular, but the nominal central government, no own currency. At the beginning of the year, after the establishment of the Central Reserve Bank, the Central Reserve Bank was finally implemented. It's just that when I was in Shanghai, the China Reserve Bond encountered great resistance.
Not only is it facing the distrust of the people, but also the resistance of fiat currency, and at the same time, there is also the competition of military tickets, Huaxing bonds and Union bank bills. So far, the area where the central reserve bonds can be circulated is only below Wuhu, south of Bengbu and north of Hangzhou, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It's almost August now, and it's only beginning to enter the ancient star.
"What good thing do you think? The military ticket is also printed by ourselves, can we use it casually? Li Bangfan said.
"Since the China Reserve Bills and fiat currency are recycled on a one-to-two basis, can the recovered fiat currency be issued as welfare?" Zhu Muyun asked: Nominally, legal tender is the legal tender of the Republic of China, and its legal status must be recognized regardless of whether it is a national control area or a base area.
Therefore, the algorithm currency cannot be circulated in the ancient star, but it is still very good in other places outside the ancient star. For example, in Chongqing, if Gu Xing's fiat currency becomes waste paper, collecting a few boxes and giving them to Deng Xiangtao is definitely a great favor. In Chongqing or other nationalized areas, these are real banknotes, which can be bought with real money.
"Do you think it's possible? According to the way of other regions, these fiat currencies will be used in the national control area or ** base area, and their materials will be purchased in large quantities, dragging them down economically. You can also be involved in this. Li Bangfan said with a smile.
The central reserve notes are printed by themselves, and the recycled fiat currency is, of course, wasted. Fiat currency is waste paper in your hands, and the best way is to exchange it for supplies.
"That's a brilliant idea." Zhu Muyun said in admiration, but he was very vigilant in his heart, the Japanese are too insidious, isn't this a disguised plundering of the materials of the base area and destroying the economy of the base area?
"Your task is to get the merchants who buy the goods with fiat money out of the city safely. After their supplies were purchased, they could enter the city smoothly. Li Bangfan told that all the materials, when they enter the city, will be inspected by the Investigation Bureau.
Such as rice, wheat, cotton, lacquer, tea, tung oil, pig bristles, cattle and sheepskins, etc., all belong to military monopolies. In Guxing, these materials can only be purchased by cooperatives such as Nissho and foreign companies, and once other merchants buy and sell, they will be punished. The reason why Zhu Muyun's economic department is rich in oil and water is that he can turn a blind eye to these materials.
"No problem." Zhu Muyun said happily that the more goods handled by the Economic Department, the more profits he can make.
It's just that if these goods are purchased from the base areas or national control areas, he will not be happy. In this disguised plundering by the Japanese, it will only be the common people who will suffer in the end. For example, the goods in the base area, all of which are worth only one million fiat currency, suddenly pour in two million fiat currency, and their goods will immediately depreciate by half.
After leaving Li Bangfan's office, Zhu Muyun was in a heavy mood. However, he had to show joy on his face, whether it was the cracking of the third SWAT team, or the new mission, and the huge amount of materials that were about to flock to the ancient star, it was not good news.
The Japanese army procured supplies from the base areas on a large scale, which inevitably led to a shortage of materials in the base areas. The New Fourth Army is dependent on the base areas, and if the base areas are short of supplies, the New Fourth Army will not have a good time.
This situation must be reported to the family immediately. Once the Japanese army adopts this method, the base area will be unable to defend itself. After all, fiat currency is the legal tender of the national control area and the base area, and the businessman takes the fiat currency to the base area to purchase materials in the hands of the people, and no one has any reason to refuse.
This is an economic war, but it is more important than a frontal war. However, Zhu Muyun pondered and meditated, and still did not think of an effective solution.
"Shiyou, is that Director Zhu's car?" Xu Shiquan and Lu Shiyou were having dinner at the restaurant on Zhongshan Avenue, and the sharp-eyed Xu Shiquan suddenly pointed to a car on the street and asked Lu Shiyou on the opposite side.
"That's right." Lu Shiyou saw the license plate clearly, and he will have to work under Zhu Muyun in the future, and remembering the commander's license plate is the most basic requirement.
"It is said that many of the chiefs in the bureau live on Baishi Road." Xu Shiquan said that he was a traffic officer of the Third Special Police Team and also knew something about the situation of the Political Security Bureau.
It's just that there are a lot of patrols on Baishi Road, and there are often gendarmes patrolling at night.
"Do you want to go and find a door?" Lu Shiyou proposed.
"Of course, this will be our commander in the future. If you want to mix well in the future, you must have a good relationship with him. Xu Shiquan said.
"It is said that Zhu Muyun's favorite is gold bars." Lu Shiyou said that Zhu Muyun likes gold bars and gives rewards to his subordinates, and gold bars are often used. When he was in the third SWAT team, he usually issued fiat currency. Silver dollars will only be given if they behave exceptionally well. As for the gold bars, it was the first time he had them.
"Our gold bars haven't been heated yet?" Xu Shiquan said that these gold bars are the foundation of their lives, how can they use them easily? I can smear Zhu Muyun's liver and brain, but I will definitely not take out the gold bars in my hand.
"You are willing, I am not willing to do it." Lu Shiyou said that he had long remembered how to use the money, and there was no Zhu Muyun's share.
