Chapter 163: Military Bills and Banks

"It's like my own military ticket!" Meng Xiang's later generations have heard of the bad deeds of this military ticket.

He said that he bought things in the occupied areas of China, except for the open robbery, most of the others were paid directly with military tickets. The devils all hold accounts according to the face value, and force the people in the occupied areas to exchange military tickets as currency, so as to crowd out other fiat currencies and other currencies. Since there will be no deposit as exchange support when military tickets are issued, and there is no specific issuing office, the military tickets of the devil cannot be exchanged for yuan. How many of these military tickets are printed is similar to direct robbery. Therefore, it is said that this political axe is used as a means to dominate the economy of the occupied territories and plunder the wealth of the occupied territories.

"Yes, it's a military ticket!" Zhou Bai also knew why Meng Xiang had such a big reaction. He said that he has a long history of issuing military tickets.

He said that he began to use military tickets as early as the First Sino-Japanese period, and he also issued a large number of them during the Russo-Japanese War. During World War I, when I occupied Qingdao, the garrison only had one division, and nearly 12 million yuan of military tickets were issued in one go.

"Since the occupation of China, the Korean bank bills have been temporarily used in North China, and the bank bills have been used by the military in Shanghai. But the circulation is not as good as fiat currency, and in the next step, they will issue a large number of military tickets. This undoubtedly disrupts the normal order of fiat currency and makes a large number of ordinary people suffer. Zhou Bai also sighed, "However, the military ticket is not just done by himself. But whenever there is a war, there may be military stamps issued. Military tickets can not only maintain the stability of the economic order in the army, but also avoid many troubles caused by the circulation of national currency. Overall, it's a good one. ”

"In our investigation, we found that in some areas of the surrounding area, the amount of silver dollars in circulation is low, resulting in a slightly higher price of gold and silver than elsewhere. Although the impact is not great for the time being, with the plundering of the Yue Kou, both the Yue Kou and the central authorities will control gold and silver more strictly in the next step. At that time, it was not enough to rely on a small amount of gold and silver to circulate. Zhou Bai said. His first rule, the most important thing in the issuance of metal money, is the shortage of gold and silver.

Meng Xiang was also shocked when he heard this, the base devouring gold and silver had already caused an impact on the surroundings. Fortunately, mineral revenues now account for half of the revenue, otherwise the lack of gold and silver would have been further widened.

"Then we're going to issue military stamps too?" Meng Xiang constantly thought about the pros and cons of issuing military tickets. Later, when Huaxia was used to support Vietnam in 65 years, it also issued military stamps. It seems that there is no right or wrong in military tickets, and the bad deeds of military tickets are ruined by greed.

"The way to use military tickets is correct. At present, the military salaries received by the vanguard army are all in the ocean, which is not necessary. As long as the stability of military tickets is maintained, it is actually the same as credit currency. Zhou Bai also had a trace of hesitation in his heart, he knew the consequences of the indiscriminate issuance of military tickets, but the vanguard army was now financially tight, and many of the recent initiatives of the vanguard army were realizing his dream step by step. He couldn't help but come up with these methods.

As soon as Meng Xiang heard it, he knew the way, which was the same as printing money, and his eyes couldn't help but light up and he smiled: "This military ticket is only afraid that the people will not approve it!" ”

"This requires the credibility of the vanguard army and a large amount of gold and silver foreign exchange to maintain the stability of the balance of military tickets. Everyone knows that the arms trade of the Vanguard Army is made with real money! Zhou Bai's last sentence glanced at Meng Xiang with a little meaning.

Meng Xiang smiled bitterly in his heart, but unfortunately most of the money was filled into the base. Due to the high value of gold and silver, the small size and the affordability of minerals have not decreased the amount of gold and silver invested in the base. It seems that in order to maintain the stability of military tickets in the future, it is necessary to reduce the use of gold and silver in the base.

"However, before it can be done again, there must be a formal bank with the functions of a central bank to handle military spending, even bonds, gold and silver currency and other related operations. And not just storage. In the latter sentence, Zhou Bai refers to the Taiping Bank that Meng Xiang opened not long ago.

Because the distribution of military salaries is a ready-made ocean, in order to hide people's eyes, the clones also receive the same salary. The return of this money will be handled by Taiping Bank. The clones have deposited their salaries into the Taiping Bank, and they have also led other single soldiers to deposit Dayang into it. This also made Meng Xiang proud for a few days, and the traverser still doesn't know how to make money in the bank?

Today, Zhou Bai said that Meng Xiang was a little wronged.

Meng Xiang had already had this idea. The main reason is that the banks of later generations are too popular, and they all know that banks are the most profitable. The political axe ran out of money, so they all looked for a bank.

When the finances were tight, Meng Xiang also thought of the bank.

In the era of stock speculation and investment in later generations, Meng Xiang still has a certain amount of financial knowledge. I have read a lot of books about economic warfare and currency warfare in later generations. But when it comes to the specific bank operations, he doesn't know. But he still understands the importance of economics and finance.

Without economic support, without financial support, the army is just a lame Lai Han.

This principle applies to the whole world.

Now every powerful warlord has his own bank, otherwise it will be a bit troublesome if his account is blocked. Even foreign banks were not very insured, and Russian banks were just in debt. Although Meng Xiang also knew that Citigroup, HSBC and others would not fall, he did not plan to throw this piece of fat out to foreigners.

Spare money and small money can be concentrated to do big things.

This led to the establishment of Tianping Bank. It's just that during the creation period, plus he didn't know some of the bank's processes, it had been nearly half a month, and Yang Yi was only responsible for the military salary of the vanguard army.

"Hmmm! Taiping Bank needs to be more formalized. Meng Xiang said as he thought of Citi. At the beginning of the establishment of Taiping Bank, Meng Xiang wanted to imitate Citi and become a behemoth that controlled the world economy.

Now that the vanguard army has initially gained a firm foothold, even if there is a threat from devils, with the development and upgrading of the base, it can barely protect itself. At this time, it is very convenient to vigorously launch your own bank and solve some economic problems. In the future, the value of the Chinese currency is very unstable, the fiat currency is constantly depreciating, and the US dollar, British pound, and the yuan cannot be used in large quantities.

There is no other currency to replace it in large quantities, and a monetary vacuum is formed. Silver dollars and gold alone are not enough. At this time, the introduction of a strong currency could become the protagonist in the future economic war.

War is never a single gun, politics and economy are all-encompassing. It is crucial to lay a good economic account and stabilize the fortress of the financial system.

It's just that these need the support of talent.

"Yang Yi needs to take care of trivial matters in the army, and at this time, Tianping Bank is negligent in taking care of it. I don't know, does Mr. Zhou have a suitable manager? Meng Xiang asked Zhou Bai directly.

"There are a few!" Zhou Bai hesitated, and the life of an old otaku like a fan made him estranged from some people in the past.

"Yao Qingsan, who studies currency, was familiar with me, and he had some research on the value setting and quantity of military bills and bonds. In addition, if he is a bank manager, Zheng Tieru is good, but he is now a manager in the Bank of China, so I am afraid that he may not be willing to come. Zhou Bai still said the truth.

Zheng Tieru's name made Meng Xiang have some impressions, and vaguely remembered his things about making a lot of money on pounds sterling and military tickets, and it seemed that the international financial level was good. As for Yao Qingsan, a famous figure who studied currency in later generations, he had no impression at all.

"Then let's get them here. Sincerely ask for a few more times, and you will always come. Meng Xiang said with a smile.

"Actually, there are Ma Yinchu, Fang Xianting, Yang Ruiliu and others, who are very good at studying money and finance! As for Liu Dajun and He Lian, they both have official business and may not be able to come. Zhou Bai named a few more people, and when the time came, he cast more nets, and maybe someone would come over.

"Ma Yinchu?" Meng Xiang was surprised, in fact, he didn't say something in his heart: In later generations, I heard that the gentleman was very famous for talking about population and family planning, how could he change his research to currency?

"Ma Yinchu is a well-known figure in the field of economics today, specializing in currency. What a pity! Zhou Bai sighed.

Meng Xiang also understands that his vanguard army is still not famous enough, and the temple is small and difficult to accommodate the great gods! He couldn't help but secretly made up his mind in his heart, if he didn't invite him, he would deceive him. Last time, Zhu Kezhen and others who were deceived have been working selflessly. All kinds of complete experimental equipment made them forget a trace of suspicion when they came.

"When the financial system is well structured, the rest of the economy can function well!" Zhou Baidao, "Coupled with the issuance of appropriate war bonds and the auxiliary implementation of metal currency, at least the economic stability of these regions can be guaranteed, and there will be no major chaos." ”

"There are two things about regional stability, one is wealth, and the other is food. As long as these two points are settled, you can calmly arrange the plan. So far, we don't have a specific plan and design? Zhou Bai looked at Meng Xiangdao.

Meng Xiang suddenly thought of the five-year and ten-year plans for the future. It seems that I have too many things on hand and neglect the things that are laid out in detail in the overall plan. Although I have a general concept and strategic layout in mind, it is not a detailed planning plan.

"That's right! A detailed plan is required. Do you have a draft plan? Take it out, and let's study it together. Meng Xiang looked at the stack of thick newspapers that Zhou Bai had brought with him, since he said so, he must have already had a preliminary plan.
