The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 259 Royal Bank of the Ming Empire
"Your Majesty, compared to your talent in force and technology, I feel that you are a little... mentally handicapped in terms of economy."

When Annie said this, she didn't know that she was only three seconds away from being deprived of Asgardian gems by Wu Yan and turning into a corpse made of vibranium and Uru metal.

"Why do you have to give silver and gold to build aircraft carriers? Why do you have to pay for mortar production lines, bullet production lines, fully automatic rifles and machine gun production lines?"

These words saved Annie, who was extremely arrogant at the moment.

Another reason is that it only took Annie half a day to solve the problem of the low defect rate of finished products in Wu Yan's mortar shell workshop.

To sum it up in one sentence: the people can let them know, but they can't make them know.

Annie improved the filling process of shells, so that the manufacturing method of shells is almost the same as that of bullets. In the production process of the assembly line, only the workers in each link need to follow the steps step by step and strictly abide by the corresponding operating procedures. Mortar shells with a pass rate of 100%.

In the manufacturing process, as long as there is a problem in one link, the next link will be unsustainable, and naturally there will be no defective products.

"You keep talking."

Wu Yan looked at Annie with a smile on his face, but his heart had already started to clamor.

As long as Annie can't say one, two, three, four, five, then he will directly deduct the gems from Annie's body, and then forcibly lower Annie's intelligence.

It only took more than a day to bring him back, and he dared to say that he was mentally handicapped. After ten or eight years, wouldn't he have to rebel?
Is this still available?

Rui Wen, who was next to her, also looked at Annie with some dissatisfaction, her eyes were filled with the meaning that if you can't tell the reason, I will bite you to death.

For Wu Yan, Ruiwen, the rescued alien whose fate has been changed, is full of gratitude.

This is the benefit of being a minor, and raising... Cough!

Annie said: "Your Majesty, your Ming Dynasty can start issuing currency. Whether it is military salaries, courtiers' salaries, or purchasing various materials, paying salaries to workers in military factories, etc., you can use your money to spend money. The issued currency is used as the unit of settlement.”

"I can improve the current printing technology and papermaking technology. As long as these two technologies are firmly in the hands of the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire, which is about to be established by the Ming Empire, then there is no need to worry about counterfeit currency. The credibility of the currency will be will be greatly improved.”

Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty?

interesting.

Wu Yan suddenly had a sense of being educated, and asked: "But the passage of paper money depends not only on the absence of counterfeit money. My Ming Dynasty has only occupied most of the area south of the Yangtze River so far. Not all areas, and it is in a time of war. Not to mention the common people, even those people in the court may not be willing to accept the currency I issued."

As an artificial intelligence life, Annie can control her eyes very well, otherwise, she will definitely die because of looking at eyes like an idiot.

"The monetary policy of the gold standard can be used." Annie said: "The currency issued by the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire can be directly used to exchange the same amount of gold at the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire. I know we don't have that much gold, but your majesty is not going to sell it. Give weapons to all countries? We only want gold and not silver. After the gold is in our hands, it is used to buy military supplies and pay salaries. If this is the case, why not keep it in our hands and give it to someone when they need to exchange it? ?”

Wu Yan's eyes brightened, and he said: "You mean, for example, if I have a ton of gold, I can issue two or even three tons of gold paper currency, because it is impossible for everyone to directly exchange it for gold. Gold is not the current currency, but silver is, and after they have exchanged gold, they need to exchange it for silver, or even copper coins to be able to use it... that's wrong."

"Paper currency is very convenient, and merchants will be very willing to use paper currency. As long as I guarantee that their paper currency can be exchanged for the equivalent amount of gold, there will be no currency depreciation or even non-recognition."

Annie nodded, with a childish meaning, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the time point of your Ming Empire and the current form of government are also called the feudal empire era on our Azure Planet. You The force is unparalleled, and the national power of the Ming Dynasty is growing stronger and stronger. It is entirely possible to ask courtiers, soldiers, and even workers in military factories not to directly exchange currency for gold. If you want to exchange money, you can resign."

"However, the people can be directly exchanged for the same amount of gold. As long as the people admit it, the courtiers, soldiers, and workers will also recognize it. Where does the money in the hands of the people come from? From the hands of the courtiers, soldiers, and workers, the face value It will be very small, and the total amount will be very small... If there is only one Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, they will invest too much time and cost in exchanging gold, and most people will choose to give up the exchange."

"As for the merchants who own a lot of paper currency..." Annie suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, we can engage in real estate and infrastructure construction."

"kindness?"

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment.

He is actually not stupid, but he has been fighting and practicing all these years, studying how to improve his personal force every day, and has ignored some common sense problems of modern people.

Annie smiled and said: "Cement, steel bars, concrete, I can come up with the corresponding technology. Your Majesty, you can start Daming Construction Engineering and use these technologies to build a new city. As long as you are in the new city, the housing prices will soar. We Only collecting paper currency will allow many merchants to spontaneously exchange their silver and gold for paper currency at the Daming Royal Bank, increasing our gold and silver reserves and increasing the credibility of the currency.”

"We can also give up the profits. We only provide raw materials, set up patent rights, use imperial power and patent rights to monopolize the supply of basic raw materials, and openly invite businessmen to let sensible businessmen from the Ming Empire bid for the construction of the new city. During this process In the process, we can still harvest a large amount of gold and silver reserves, and we can also require those merchants participating in the bidding to only use the currency issued by the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire for settlement."

"Even..." Annie paused, and then said: "We can steal many people's homes in this process, because most people are greedy, and they will use various means to seek more benefits. The common people They will not be afraid because His Majesty has copied these people's homes, they will only be happy that His Majesty punishes corrupt officials and illegal businessmen. There will also be no bidders because they are unwilling to give up their interests. Under the premise, they can only abide by the law and pursue legitimate interests.”

Wu Yan felt a sense of enlightenment.

He suddenly felt that now he was a bit like when he had just traveled to the ancient world, and his mind was full of various ideas. These ideas were originally just to pay tribute to those predecessors who traveled.

But now, he's about to start taking action.

Need an artificial intelligence life reminder?
Useless.

"good, very good, excellent."

After admiring San Lian, Wu Yan said: "Li Si, let someone pass on the account to the Shangshu Qianjiang."

Li Si is Ruiwen's pseudonym.

Anne's pseudonym is Zhang San.

"I plan to implement a constitutional monarchy in a few years." Wu Yan said: "What you said is also in line with my plan. Having a bank with the right to issue currency in a country will help me maintain my authority after reforming the constitutional monarchy. , is also of great benefit.”

Anne asked: "We also have a constitutional monarchy on Azure Planet. Your Majesty, are you going to implement a dual constitutional monarchy or a parliamentary constitutional monarchy?"

Wu Yan said with a smile: "Of course it is a dual system and a constitutional monarchy."

Although both are constitutional monarchies, the prime minister is elected by the parliament, and then the cabinet is formed to manage the country, but the difference is actually very big.Simply put, a dual system means that the monarch has more power than the parliament, and a parliamentary system means that the parliament has more power than the monarch.

The former monarch can dissolve the parliament at any time and declare war on other countries, and various laws and regulations require the authorization of the monarch to be implemented.The latter are only in name, and Parliament needs the monarch's assent in exercising these rights.

Anne suggested: "Then we need to master the army. We have a technological level that is many years ahead of the times. We can use these technologies to accumulate a lot of wealth, and then the general's salary will be separated from the government's financial expenditure and distributed by the royal family."

Wu Yan nodded, and said, "You first write out the corresponding plan of Daming Royal Bank."

The pen and paper were easily prepared. Annie, who hadn't used the brush a few times, was able to write amazing small script.

And the speed is extremely fast, no different from a printer, because she writes with two brushes in both hands at the same time.

Wu Yan was a little envious.

"Your Majesty, the reform of writing must also improve the agenda." Anne said: "To improve the overall industrial capacity, it is absolutely not enough for me alone, and the premise of education is to make knowledge more concise and easier to pass. Learn, and this font is too cumbersome."

Wu Yan nodded and said: "No problem, I will give you a simplified character comparison table and pinyin identification. When developing computers in the future, the basic code will use pinyin."

Because of memory correction, Annie's database has no knowledge of simplified characters and pinyin. In fact, the only language Anne knows in her database is the language and characters of the Skrulls.

This is what Wu Yan learned when he found Ruiwen, and then entered it into Annie's database, and it was regarded as the words and language that belonged to Azure Star in the memory of Annie and Ruiwen.

Knowing traditional characters and Chinese is also corrected by the system. In Annie's memory, she learned it under Wu Yan's teaching some time in the past.

"Your Majesty, you have simplified the text of a civilization by yourself?" Annie praised while writing: "You are really a genius."

Good ass.

Then you will not be detained for the time being.

Qianjiang came over very fast, and now the main administrative agencies of the entire Ming Dynasty have been relocated to Nanjing City, and the area of ​​Nanjing City is actually not large.

"It's like this..."

After Wu Yan roughly talked about the idea of ​​the Daming Royal Bank, he said: "In a few days, about 11 countries will come to buy arms, and all the money they hand over, whether it is silver or gold, you will arrange for someone to cast it for me. For the two mountains, the casting process must be seen by more people. The location of the Gold Mountain and the Silver Mountain is also the headquarters of the Imperial Bank of the Ming Dynasty."

Qian Jiang was dumbfounded.

But after he figured it out, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty is really wise. This move will definitely relieve the pressure on the treasury. Why not include the tax revenue from the treasury into the system of the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire. In this way, you can increase The credibility of the currency can also speed up the implementation of the currency.”

Logically speaking, Qian Jiang, as the Minister of the Household Department, must be very dissatisfied when the emperor Wu Yan wants to seize the country's financial power.

Not only Qianjiang will be dissatisfied, but the new monetary policy will also cause dissatisfaction among some so-called honorable families.

But the problem is that Wu Yan's Ming Dynasty is different from any dynasty in history.

His Majesty the Emperor is invincible.

As long as Wu Yan doesn't die, then the Ming Empire will be whatever he says.

No one dared to disobey.

"Taxes can be gradually transferred to collect new currencies, but the tax system cannot be incorporated into the Royal Bank of the Ming Empire." Wu Yan said: "Because I don't want to compete for the interests of the people and the country."

Well, it's just that they don't fight openly, they just focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones.

Qian Jiang couldn't see this, and bowed and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty."
