The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 296 Kong Jie's Financial Ideal

It was cold and windy outside, and the cold wind was like a knife.

At least there is a charcoal fire in the house, and the door is basically covered, which makes it much warmer. There is not much light coming in from the slightly opened windows and door cracks, making the room quite dark.

Kong Jie, Xu Qingnian, and the monk stared fixedly at the somewhat seductive fire, and the fire illuminated the faces of the three of them darkly red.

After a long time, Xu Qingnian said slowly, "Master Kong, I understand... Such a Chinese nation is indeed something to be proud of!"

"You are also one of them." Kong Jie said.

There was guilt in Xu Qingnian's words, "I didn't help the country or the people. Instead, I was a obedient citizen in the enemy-occupied area and county, and even worked in the Japanese puppet bank. How can I help you?" How about being a part of it?"

The dazed voice continued.

The other two people in the room, Kong Jie and the monk remained silent, and Xu Qingnian continued on his own:

"When I was in college, I majored in finance. By the time I graduated, the city had already fallen. The national army retreated again and again, and it had already disappeared. The people around me basically chose to be obedient citizens. My classmates There are some radicals among them, but at the end of the quarrel, they are still forced to choose a job to make a living, at least they can’t be starved to death.”

"In this era when culture is generally lacking, it is a luxury to be able to learn a lot of culture. My classmates and I secretly swear that even if we are obedient citizens and flattery for a while, the ideals in our hearts will never be shattered. "

"When the country really needs us to do something, we will always stand up."

"We even naively thought that the fall of the city was temporary, and that sooner or later our army would come back and regain the lost ground, and there would be a place for us to use it."

"But finally woke up from the dream, the reality is very cruel, the fallen city is still falling, but the manager has also become the face of the invader."

"I am also a human being, I have to eat, and I majored in finance, so I joined a bank and worked for a few years, and gradually worked from a small employee to the vice president of a branch."

"Half a year ago, the Japanese transferred me to Tan County again and became the president of the Tan County Branch of the Puppet Central Reserve Bank of Japan."

"And then I have been working until now, until you, Commander Kong, showed up and tied me here."

cough cough-

Kong Jie, who had a certain understanding of Xu Qingnian's life experience, said with a smile: "How can you say it was tied? I invited you to our Eighth Route Army base as a guest."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie changed the subject and said with a smile: "Speaking of President Xu, what do you mainly learn about finance in college? In addition, you have worked in the bank for so many years, do you have any practical experience?" Understand?"

Young Xu glanced at Kong Jie and asked, "Master Kong, how much do you know about finance?"

This questioned Kong Jie. After all, Kong Jie had never studied finance. The financial knowledge he knew was only standing on the shoulders of giants, knowing a little bit. After thinking about it, he cleared his throat and said:

"My understanding is that this finance is nothing more than a discipline that studies value judgments and value laws. To put it simply, it is the study of various economic activities and economic laws."

The monk on the side was confused.

Xu Qingnian showed surprise on his face and said: "Head Kong, what you said is really surprising, you seem to know a lot about finance, and such a concise statement is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. "

Kong Jie laughed secretly, you kid think the giant's shoulders are for nothing?

On the surface, he smiled lightly and said:

"It's funny, I haven't studied much, let alone finance, but I still understand the general truth. Finance and finance are inseparable from money and currency."

"Money, that is, currency, is used to buy and sell items. It is used for transactions. The price of the goods needs to be set, and then the currency of the corresponding face value is exchanged for it. This will involve the supply and demand relationship of the goods."

"If there are too many goods, such as grains that are not easy to preserve, you can't sell them, and they will even get moldy. At this time, you can only sell them at a lower price, that is, the supply exceeds the demand, and the price will naturally drop; When the demand is not met, and the grain produced by the farmers is not even enough for everyone to eat, the price of this grain will naturally rise.”

"Similar supply and demand relationships and the law of value are what finance itself needs to study. In fact, the establishment of the financial system will be relatively simple if it only corresponds to the internal."

"For example, we can only establish a financial system in our base area. There are merchants who buy and sell, groups who spend money and consume, and farmers who produce crops. Such a series of financial systems can be easily established."

"It's just that such a financial system is not stable enough, and it will collapse easily. After all, there is no foreign trade."

"Now that the war is raging, the little devils are constantly invading our country. Their method of invading us is not just military aggression? It also includes economic aggression, political aggression, and cultural aggression."

"We won't mention other aspects for the time being. We will only talk about economic aggression. Whenever a little devil invades a piece of land, he will inevitably rob the people of food, cloth and other daily necessities, and will plunder gold and silver and other precious metals with absolute value. They will occupy our banks and establish their Japanese puppet banks in an attempt to monopolize the finance of the occupied areas by this means."

"In terms of finance, although I don't know much, I still understand a truth. Just like our independent regiment, if we only seek military victories and win battles one after another, if the financial system cannot be established, there is not enough financial support. No matter how many battles we win, life for our Eighth Route Army will still be difficult.”

"Soldiers don't have cotton clothes or hair for the winter, and they don't have military pay. When it's hard, they don't even have enough food to eat."

"These things can't be easily changed by fighting. If you just rely on military battles to seize supplies, there will never be enough supplies."

"So, I also hope that our independent regiment can have its own financial system. Not to mention fighting against the little devils, at least the soldiers can have enough food and clothing, and then fight with the little devils."

"That's why I sent someone to invite President Xu over here."

Xu Qingnian was silent.

Xu Qingnian was amazed by Kong Jie's broad vision and long-term thinking.

He didn't expect that such a general of the Eighth Route Army who didn't even go to school would know many principles of finance.

After being silent for a long while, Xu Qingnian sighed and said, "Master Kong, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. If you want to change the financial strength gap between us and the Japanese, we have to do it right now. Come to see, it is tantamount to an idiot's dream."

"Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, with the continuous fall of our country, a large number of economic center cities have been occupied by the Japanese, and the Japanese have launched a crazy plunder of our country's finances. Under such circumstances, even a stable financial system is impossible. Hold on for too long."

"In the final analysis, finance still needs a carrier. If even the market that can realize currency circulation is plundered, the original financial system will become a joke."
