Chapter 1080: Mastering the Golden Power (VII.)
"Are bank bills issued by central banks absolutely credible?"
Who will supervise whether there are sufficient gold and silver reserves behind the "small pieces of paper" issued by the central bank as a credit guarantee? ”
"If the above questions cannot be answered, in the final analysis, it can only be shown that 'central bank bills' do not need real gold and silver reserves as guarantees, but only need the public power of the state to force this worthless "paper money" into circulation. ”
The central banker's criticism of private bankers for their inability to resist the temptation to "turn paper into gold" and that without supervision will inevitably issue bank bills indiscriminately to defraud the public's wealth, can the central bank resist the temptation of "turning paper into gold" and control greed when no one can supervise it? It is true that private bankers will be punished for issuing bank bills indiscriminately, but if the central bank issues paper money indiscriminately, who can investigate and sanction this noble authority that controls the country's financial rules? ”
Finally, the author of the article offers a sobering warning:
"While we beware of the greed of private banks, we must also beware of central banks reaching out and taking your money bags. Sadly, people don't trust one private bank, which can choose to transfer their deposits to another bank, if not the central bank...... I'm sorry, but you don't have a choice. ”
……
After reading this article at the central bank office at No. 23 Financial Street, Roland couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and sat at his desk speechless for a long time.
Antron was even more startled by his iron-blue face, he had never seen Roland's face so ugly.
After a long time, Roland looked up and said to him, "I want to know who wrote this article." ”
"I'm going to check!" Antron immediately took out the High Communication Stone and contacted John Pulitt. Five minutes later, I got a piece of information, "Although the article is not signed, the postmark of the cover letter indicates that this person lives in the North Bay area, and is likely to be wealthy, because this person sent the submission by spell, and there are not many economists who can afford the high cost of spell casting services......" Antron said again.
"As expected." Roland smiled bitterly and picked up the high-grade communication stone and sent a text message to Her Majesty the Queen of the North Sea Federation: "Liuba, have I done anything to be sorry for you recently?" Why did you stab me in the back? ”
A few seconds later, Lyubov sent a call request, and the timid voice of the Sea Elf Queen came from the High Communication Stone: "I'm sorry, that article was not my ......"
"That's weird, I can't think of anyone else in the North Bay who can write such a high-level article except for you, not to mention that the ideas implied in the article are in the same vein as your thoughts!" Roland said angrily.
"Well, I have to admit that most of the content in the article was casually said by me during the casual conversation at the dinner table, I thought I would forget it, but I didn't expect that Weta ghost girl to secretly record it and send it to the newspaper anonymously...... I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said this to her. Lyubov was both guilty and helpless.
"You can't be blamed for this, we can communicate face-to-face if there are different opinions in the future, as for Weta......" Roland glanced back, the door was ajar, and he could see Katya working at the desk in the vice president's office opposite.
Roland turned back and lowered his voice and asked Lyubov, "Is Vita angry with me and leaving Katya in Krasburg without her permission?" ”
"Isn't it, that girl has been angry all day because of this incident, but she complains the most about me, and she suspects that I secretly went to Krasbourg to have a tryst with you but refused to take her~" In the end, Lyubov couldn't help but laugh shyly, "She put my gossip in the newspaper, in fact, she just wanted to make a prank and provoke the feelings between you and me, you are such a smart person, you can't be a little girl." ”
Roland also couldn't cry or laugh, and was silent for a long time before he asked helplessly: "Do I want to talk to her?" ”
"Write her a letter, use gentle words, in fact, Weta is easy to coax, as long as you care about her often, it is best to visit her in the North Bay often." Lyubov softly taught her the trick of coaxing her sister.
"I'll go," Roland thought for a moment, emphasizing cautiously, "mainly to see you." ”
"Didn't we just meet?" Lyubov's voice was a little arrogant, but he couldn't help but reveal his true colors soon, "You are welcome to come to the North Bay often, it is more comfortable to spend the winter here than in Krasburg." ”
"There should be time before the New Year." Roland replied uncertainly.
"What are you up to?"
"The central bank's business is over, and then I will be busy preparing for the construction of the national mint, and in the afternoon I will take the magic train to the Great Falls City, and the Karon Industrial Zone is located on the bank of the Bailu River outside the city, and I will go to see when the mint will start."
"Don't go to work, take care of your health," Lyubov said tenderly, "and if I can't spare time, I'll take Vita to Krasbourg to spend the New Year with you...... Ah, I almost forgot, and I have to visit Katya by the way, hoping that she can adapt to her new job as soon as possible. ”
Lyubov's hopes have actually become a reality, Katya took this place as her own territory on the first day she arrived at 23 Financial Street, except for Roland, the top boss, she commanded the other employees without seeing it, and the strong woman was full of style. Both the veteran employees and the interns were intimidated by the strong momentum of the vice president's wife, and they did not dare to complain despite Katya's various calls.
Roland is very satisfied with Katya's work status, and the three policy banks under the central bank are also under her management, and with Katya holding up half the sky at 23 Financial Street, he can free up energy for more important work. After all, the central bank is only a small part of his remit, and there are still many things to deal with at the cabinet office.
After the call with Lyubov, Roland entrusted Katya with the daily work of the central bank, took Antron to the station in a horse-drawn carriage, and by eleven o'clock, the two had already jumped on the magic train bound for the Great Falls.
Roland got on the train and went to talk to the driver, and learned that the train schedule had been changed, and a new platform had been added between Krasbourg and Great Falls, near the newly built Karon Industrial Zone, in order to make it easier for the workers of the industrial zone to travel between the capital and Grand Rapids, where most of the workers in the new Karon district had made their home.
It is about 400 miles from Krasbourg to Great Rapids, and less than 300 miles to Karon Industrial Area, and the magic train travels at full speed in just 4 hours.
Roland contacted the Minister of Industry, Zinovi, in his car with a high-grade communication stone, informing him that he would arrive at the mint at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and asking him to tell his relative, who had just been hired as the manager of the mint, to prepare for the inspection. Roland only remembered that the little man in his thirties was named Isaac, and he couldn't remember whether it was Zinovi's nephew or brother-in-law.
