Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World - Chapter 631
Erin’s proposal made Paul laugh dumbfounded.
He waved his hand and said, “Theoretically, it’s completely feasible, but at this stage it’s not practical at all.”
Irene was not convinced, and asked with her mouth open: “Why?”
Paul shrugged his shoulders and explained: “Didn’t you say it just now? The amount of money and material wealth in society must maintain a dynamic balance. More money and less goods will lead to inflation, and less money and more goods will lead to deflation. I think Today’s human beings still lack the ability to reasonably quantify the total wealth of the society, so they cannot judge how much banknotes should be printed each year, and the prestige of the kingdom government can be ruined if they are not careful.”
“And the acceptance of the people is also a big problem. If you take a bunch of papers and claim that it has the same effect as real money, everyone will only think that the kingdom government is robbing.”
“So we can only try it in places like the military where there is a high degree of compliance, and the scope is small, and it is easy to control and fix if something goes wrong.”
“Okay!” Irene was a little frustrated, “It seems that we can’t act too hastily, I wonder if I can see the day when people all over the street use banknotes.”
“Hey, Paul.” Catherine looked at her fiancé, her eyes were softer than ever, “Your idea should be mentioned to His Majesty the King as soon as possible.”
“Based on the above, I think this convenience can effectively solve the dilemma of the Royal Government’s insufficient military expenditure, and it is worth a try.”
At the imperial meeting held by King Rodney XVIII, Paul talked eloquently and introduced his idea of military tickets in detail.
After discussing with the two princesses that day, under the urging of Catherine, Paul went to the king to re-introduce his immature thoughts to him that day.
After Rodney XVIII listened carefully to Paul’s narration, he was very interested in his thoughts.
After he went back, he thought about it alone for another day, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the convenience of using paper military tickets instead of military pay was very feasible.
After approving it in his heart, Rodney XVIII couldn’t wait to hold the imperial meeting.
After letting Paul say it again in front of the ministers, Rodney XVIII asked: “Everyone, what do you think? Let me first say my point of view. Earl Graham’s idea is a good medicine. I I think you can try it.”
The ministers reacted differently. There were too many novel things in Paul’s remarks, such as general equivalents, inflation, and deflation. Some people looked confused and confused, while others frowned Lock, and some people suddenly see the light.
After a while of whispering, Earl Nayink Scarlet stood up and echoed: “I agree with His Majesty and Earl Graman’s point of view, you can try it.”
He’s the treasurer of the kingdom, and any idea that saves money from him is a good idea.
Earl Molin, the chief of intelligence, said: “Your Majesty, if one of them is not handled well, it will be bad for soldiers to mutiny.”
As the head of intelligence, he instinctively guards against all possible dangers.
Rodney XVIII said: “But we cannot throw away a good idea because of a dangerous event that has not yet happened.”
“Oh, you are right, Your Majesty, I mean to do it with care.”
Palace Chancellor Rupert said: “I also think Earl Graman’s idea can be tried. And from a certain point of view, the military ticket is equivalent to binding the soldiers to the royal government.”
“Binding?” Everyone present looked at the Prime Minister with puzzled eyes.
Rupert explained: “Think about it, the military ticket issued by the Royal Government, at present, only the Royal Government will recognize its effectiveness, if a soldier rebelled, took the military ticket and ran to Giles’ territory, in the Can I buy what I want there? No, the military ticket is waste paper there, and his wealth is equivalent to void!”
“That’s right!”
Rupert’s words made everyone’s eyes shine.
Even Paul was very surprised. He didn’t even think of this. At first, he thought of the military ticket purely to solve the problem of insufficient metal currency.
The Prime Minister is really an old fox.
Rodney XVIII was very happy, and he discovered another magical use of military tickets.
He glanced at everyone, “Does anyone have any other opinions?”
No one raised any objections. It seems that Rupert’s words just now made everyone agree.
“Well, since that’s the case, Earl Scarlet.”
“His Majesty!”
“It’s up to you to study, how many denominations should the military ticket have, how much the denomination should be, what patterns should be printed on it, and what goods can be exchanged for it. I think you should ask Earl Graham for advice before he leaves the capital. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The Chancellor accepted the order.
“As for who should print the military tickets…”
To study a new type of paper material, it must be manufactured in large quantities…
So you need to find a company that has certain attainments in papermaking and printing…
Rodney XVIII looked at Paul, “If we need to use military tickets as soon as possible, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com seems to have no other choice.”
Everyone looked at Paul. Now everyone knows that the papermaking and printing technologies in Northwest Gulf are the most advanced.
The idea of the military ticket was proposed by Earl Gramain, so it’s hard not to doubt whether he has some selfish intentions in this regard.
Many people even looked at Paul with teasing eyes.
My day!
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Paul cursed inwardly. If he had known that Rodney XVIII would have spoken out at today’s meeting, he would have hidden his merits and fame.
“Count Graham, I think you should make preparations for this. I hope that after Earl Scarlet completes the plan, you can print it out immediately.”
Now that the king has spoken, wouldn’t it be hypocritical to refuse?
Paul had no choice but to respond: “Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will start preparations when I go back, but I hope you can recommend me a master seal engraver with superb skills.”
Rodney XVIII nodded, “I will let him go to your place with the plan.”
Paul leaned closer to the king again—he was sitting next to the king—and whispered in his ear, “Um…Your Majesty, I want to confirm. This…Is this a commercial activity?”
Rodney XVIII frowned, and replied in a low voice, “Of course, I won’t let your efforts be in vain, but I hope you will give me a cheap price.”
“Oh, sure, Your Majesty, I won’t include the cost of research and development in the price.”
Paul was relieved and straightened himself up.
Although handing over the job to Paul, Rodney XVIII still felt a little weird.
To exchange real money for a pile of paper, if it is the former self, it will definitely think this is the idea of a lunatic.
Alas, I hope this military ticket can play a huge role as imagined.
