Chapter 318, Settling in Earth Currency Is Impossible

The capital of the empire, Xingyanhuangxing Chang'an City, the imperial palace, and the emperor Li Fu held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the arrival of the Earth Federation President Zhao Dongye. Of course, when Li Fu and Zhao Dongye stood together and held hands, countless The lights are flickering non-stop, and the two represent the two most powerful forces of mankind.

After a cumbersome welcome ceremony, the two sides have officially entered the stage of talks. Zhao Dongye came to the empire this time, but he brought a very large team to seek cooperation and exchanges in various fields such as economy, technology, military affairs, and culture. What matters are the three fields of economy, science and technology, and military affairs.

"Decades have passed in a flash. When I was in college, I would never have thought that our two brothers would meet in our current identities in the distant Centaurus galaxy."

Zhao Dongye looked at Li Fu who was facing him. His appearance had not changed much from when he was in college. It seemed that the years could not leave a trace on his body. Although he took good care of himself, the years were ruthless, and the wrinkles between the corners of his eyes His real age can already be seen.

Recalling the scene of studying and living in the same dormitory at Huaxia Imperial University when they were in college, too many, too many memories came to my mind, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them turned out to be the leaders of a huge country.

Especially at the beginning, although Zhao Dongye treated everyone equally and did not look down on Li Fu who was born in the countryside, but he could never have imagined that Li Fu would become the emperor of a powerful empire. After all, Li Fu at that time In the future, he will be an outstanding scientist at most.

"The world is unpredictable, and the changes are too fast. We humans have already taken our own steps in the interstellar and universe, and will continue to rise in the interstellar and universe in the future."

Li Fu also nodded. There are too many, too many things that make it difficult to predict. This may be the reason why everything is wonderful.

The two chatted with each other about homework, and it was also a reminiscence of the good times when they were in college. The people accompanying both parties also had smiles on their faces, and listened carefully. Many people knew for the first time that Zhao Dongye and Li Fu were in the past. He was still a college classmate plus a roommate, so he was naturally surprised.

Soon, the talks between the two sides returned to the main topic, and began to carry out exchanges and talks on various aspects such as economy, technology, military affairs, and culture.

"Your Majesty, in the economic and trade exchanges between our two sides, we have always used gold to settle or use the method of barter, which is very detrimental to the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides. I think we can consider using the currencies of both sides for settlement. "

Speaking of formality, Zhao Dongye also referred to Li Fu as His Majesty the Emperor, which obviously means business.

"Before discussing this issue, I think I should tell Mr. President about the currency policy of our empire. Our empire implements a constant value energy currency policy, and the currency will never depreciate. If the trade between the two parties uses the currency of our empire to In terms of calculation, we naturally have no opinion."

"But if you use the currency of the Earth Federation for settlement, please forgive me for not being able to agree."

When it comes to economic and trade issues between the two parties, this settlement method has always been a major conflict between the Earth Federation and the Empire. The Empire has formed a huge trade surplus with the Earth Federation by virtue of its powerful technological products, and all of these trade surpluses are made using gold. Settlement completed.

Therefore, although the gold reserves on the Earth Federation side are very rich, and with the development of interstellar mining, the gold production is also continuously increasing, but after these years of economic and trade exchanges, the gold of the Earth Federation has basically been transferred to the hands of the empire.

If this continues, there will be no gold on the Earth Federation side to buy the products of the Empire, and the Empire’s demand for goods from the Earth Federation has never been large, and they are all traditional products, such as porcelain, Silk, clothes, etc. are things of low value.

The Earth Federation has not once or twice responded to the Empire, asking to use the Earth Federation currency for settlement, but the Empire has always refused.

Just kidding, if the Earth Federation currency is used to settle the settlement, the Earth Federation will frantically buy up everything in the empire. At that time, what is the use of the empire holding a pile of waste paper from the Earth Federation, and it will depreciate every year, so at all It is impossible to comply with their request.

Unless the imperial currency is used for trade settlement between the two parties, in fact, the imperial currency is very popular on the Earth Federation side, and one dollar imperial currency can even be worth thousands of regional federal currency on the Earth Federation side, because everyone wants the Empire currency to buy the products of the empire.

The Earth Federation refuses to use the imperial currency for settlement, because there is no doubt that this means that the Earth Federation needs to store some imperial currency in its hands as foreign exchange reserves.

It also means that a lot of things need to be exchanged for these things. This deal is not worthwhile. The Minister of Finance of the Earth Federation is the former Minister of Finance of Uncle Sam, and he knows this clearly.Because of this matter, the two sides often had conflicts, and both sides refused to give in.

Now even though Zhao Dongye told Li Fu in person, Li Fu still insisted on the principle, jokingly, the Earth Federation currency depreciated every year, and he was stupid to use the Earth Federation currency for settlement.

When it came to the first question, the two sides were at a stalemate, and neither side was willing to retreat, so they could only avoid this topic and start discussing the next topic.

"We hope that our two sides can send overseas students to each other and deepen mutual exchanges."

Zhao Dongye chose a topic that he didn't think was very important, and sent overseas students to each other. This kind of thing was very common in all countries on the earth in the past, and it should be relatively easy to achieve.

The technology of the empire is very advanced, and this is inseparable from the education of the empire. The embassy of the earth federation in the empire has also suggested to the earth federation more than once to send international students to the empire to learn the advanced education and advanced technology of the country. .

It’s just that the empire has always refused to communicate with the Earth Federation’s foreign students, because among universities, this technology is the easiest place to leak out. The rise of China once relied on those who traveled across the ocean to learn advanced knowledge for the rise of China of international students.

"Of course it is okay to send overseas students, but our empire also has its own rules, so we only accept descendants of Yan and Huang, and we do not accept foreign students who are not descendants of Yan and Huang."

Li Fu pondered for a long time, nodded slowly and agreed to the request, but also added conditions.

In the past, the foundation of the empire was not stable, so naturally it would not consider accepting foreign students, but now it is not afraid, but the empire has always implemented the principle that people who are not of our race must have different hearts, and are still only willing to accept descendants of Yan and Huang.

Undoubtedly, Li Fu also has his own little calculations. After these overseas students come to the empire, they may learn some advanced technology of the empire, but the empire can also attract them to stay in the empire. They are all descendants of the emperor anyway. , Those who can come to study abroad must also be outstanding talents.

Hearing Li Fu's words, Osles, Jones, Ajinsa and others all showed displeasure. This Li Fu was really racist in front of his face, and the Earth Federation has always been the most dissatisfied with the Empire. That is, when the empire implements any policy, it has strong racial discrimination in it.

It only accepts immigrants from the descendants of Yan and Huang, and in terms of business, it also takes care of the descendants of Yan and Huang to a limited extent. Now even studying abroad is like this, so everyone is naturally unhappy.

But if you are not happy, you are not happy, but there is still nothing you can do about the empire. Now the empire is not the original Huaxia, and it will not bow down for the so-called foreign guests. Everything must be done according to the rules of the Yanhuang Empire.

If things are not done in accordance with the rules of the empire, the empire would rather sever ties with the Earth Federation and not change. It is naturally impossible to sever ties with the Empire now. The Earth Federation has too many things that depend on the Empire, so it can only be pinched Nose, do things honestly and in accordance with the rules of the empire.

Seeing that the discussion has come to an end, Zhao Dongye's face is also full of smiles, at least he has gained something, although if this news is sent back to the earth, it will definitely cause demonstrations and protests all over the world. But these things are getting used to.

Every time the empire announces a new policy, large-scale demonstrations will break out on the Earth Federation side, protesting against the racial discrimination of the empire's policy. Almost every day there are demonstrations and demonstrations at the gate of the Empire's embassy in the Earth Federation.

"Both our Federation and your empire are members of human civilization, and both originated from one place. In the interstellar and cosmic era, we should deepen exchanges in technology and military affairs, and work together to build a starry sky for our descendants."

While chatting, Zhao Dongye shifted the topic to the key points, technology and military.

Although the population of the empire is much, much smaller than that of the Earth Federation, its scientific and technological strength is obvious to all. The Earth Federation still has not fully grasped the technology of the Empire decades ago. To what extent has the Empire's current technology developed? Scientists on the Earth Federation's side estimate that it will be at least 50 years ahead of the Earth Federation, which is a conservative estimate.

As for the military power, let alone, although both sides have been working very hard to develop military power, the Earth Federation is constantly importing space battleships, space fighters, arms and weapons from the empire, but the relationship with the empire The gap in military power is getting bigger and bigger.

Among other things, the empire now has more than 10 space battleships of the same level as the "Huashan", and it also has two large spaceships with a mass of more than 100 billion tons, the "Huangdi" and "Qinshihuang". Battleship, the power of the Earth Federation has been completely exploded!
