The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 297 Persuasion

"In other words, due to the Japanese aggression, our financial order in China has already experienced considerable chaos, and the original economic construction has also suffered a huge impact, resulting in major turmoil."

"In addition, our country's currency system is very backward. Even after entering the period of the Republic of China, there have been certain progress and reforms, but the stability is still very poor."

"It was simply impossible to resist the economic aggression of the Japanese, let alone promote the revitalization and development of the national economy."

"For example, the national army abolished the two reforms to the yuan and established the silver standard system. Although these measures have great progressive significance, they are still impossible to stop the Japanese invaders from frenzied economic plunder in the occupied areas."

"Since the national army abolished the two reforms to issue legal currency, these years, prices have continued to rise, and the purchasing power of legal currency has continued to decline. The trend is still increasing, and the situation has been exacerbating and deteriorating."

"But the military government of the country has no effective countermeasures at all, and can only continue to increase the amount of legal currency minted to temporarily stabilize the situation."

"If things go on like this, I can even assert that the so-called abolition of the two yuan and reforming the yuan, including the silver standard system, is nothing more than a means to treat the symptoms, not the root cause. As time goes by, this financial system will gradually approach collapse."

Xu Qingnian said it firmly, but his brows were full of helplessness and emotion.

Kong Jie secretly praised in his heart, this young man really has two brushes, and his vision is quite far-sighted.

After the abolition of the two reforms, the legal currency financial system issued by the national army did not persist for too long. In the later period, due to inflation, it basically fell into a collapsed situation.

A legal currency of the largest denomination cannot even buy a piece of waste paper.

It's no wonder Xu Qingnian made such remarks.

Kong Jie said: "I probably understand what President Xu means. What President Xu means is that if our Eighth Route Army wants to completely get rid of economic troubles, we cannot continue on the original basis of legal currency, and we even need to build an independent financial institution for our Eighth Route Army. system, it is best to be able to issue its own currency and get rid of the financial monopoly of legal currency and the yen.”

Xu Qingnian: "???"

I just express my emotion, do I mean it?

But I have to say that Kong Jie's words seemed to touch a certain string in Xu Qingnian.

"Commander Kong, the contradiction between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army is borrowed from the ancient saying that if you divide for a long time, you must unite, and if you unite for a long time, you must divide. It is perfectly appropriate to apply it to your Eighth Route Army and the National Army."

"You are right. If the Eighth Route Army wants to successfully develop its own economy, the best way is to establish its own financial system and issue its own currency."

"But to be honest, judging from the current situation, it is too difficult. Your Eighth Route Army's financial foundation is too poor, and the financial system is basically equivalent to no. In the face of a powerful opponent, establishing its own financial system and gradually developing the economy, each of these steps will be extremely difficult."

But Kong Jie laughed and said, "To borrow a great man's words, the Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of expeditions, and the thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for nothing. This is the courage of our Red Army back then, and it is also the courage of our Eighth Route Army now.

Was the Long March difficult?Is it difficult to fight in the enemy's rear?But even if it was difficult and dangerous, so what, didn't we survive it?

It still created the current situation.

You should have heard about the raid not long ago. This new army, fighting hard for the fate of the country without fear of sacrifice, has vigorous vitality and tenacious willpower. The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze Blowing and rebirth, even if it is a spark, we may not be unable to start a prairie fire. "

After saying these words, Xu Qingnian fell into shock again. Even if he was not a kid, he was already in his early thirties, but the blood in his bones seemed to be awakened by Kong Jie and started to boil.

Kong Jie didn't give Xu Qingnian a chance to interrupt at all, and continued:

"A person should have an ideal in life. If a person lives without ideals, what is the difference from a salted fish?"

"You, President Xu, were the president of the puppet army bank branch in the area occupied by the Japanese puppet army. When you came to our independent group, I also let you be the president. You worked under the hands of the devils in the enemy-occupied area and made a living. When you come to my independent group, you still have something to eat."

"From what you said earlier, Old Xu, I can feel your ideal."

"When you talked about the imminent collapse of our Chinese financial system, your words were full of helplessness. When you talked about the Japanese economic plunder, you subconsciously gritted your teeth."

"So I guess, your ideal is nothing more than applying what you have learned all your life to the construction of the financial system of our motherland, which is worthy of your ambition."

"Since this is the case, a financial talent like you must not waste time in the hands of devils. With an ideal in front of you, why don't you boldly give it a go?"

"The little devil will not give you such a stage to display your ambitions, and the national army will not give you such a stage."

"But our Eighth Route Army can, at least for now my independent regiment can."

"A dream that can be easily realized, that is a fart dream!"

"If you want to chase, you should let go and chase a supreme dream worth striving for."

"You said earlier that our Eighth Route Army wants to establish its own financial system and develop its own economy, especially in the difficult situation facing the Japanese and national troops, it is very difficult."

"But now that you are here, don't you dare to try?"

"Don't put too much pressure and burden on yourself, let's start with the economic construction of our independent group."

"When did you, Old Xu, set up the financial system and economic construction of our independent regiment, and then expand it step by step, wouldn't it be possible to realize the ultimate ideal and gradually stabilize the overall financial system of our Eighth Route Army? ?"

"When our Eighth Route Army completely drives the little devils out of China, can't this financial system continue to expand to the whole country?"

"In this way, isn't your ideal realized another big span?"

"Don't worry, Kong Jie will give you the stage, our brigade commander will give it to you after the economy of the independent regiment is established, and our headquarters will give it to you after the economy of the entire brigade is established!"

"You want to realize Xu Qingnian's ideal, our Eighth Route Army, my independent regiment, is your best stage."

After finishing speaking, Kong Jie rubbed his hands, stood up, strode to the door, and opened the wooden door.

With the cold wind blowing in, Kong Jie couldn't help shivering, then turned his head and said:
"Old Xu, I'll stop here. The position of head of the finance department of my independent regiment is still vacant. If you think about it clearly, go to the logistics department tomorrow morning and report to Dong San, the head of the logistics department."

"But if you insist on returning to the enemy-occupied area, to be your obedient citizen, and to be the president of your Japanese puppet bank...just think it's me, Kong Jie!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Jie strode across the threshold and walked out.

With a stalwart back, his personal charm exploded for a while.

After saying these words, Xu Qingnian only felt that he was enlightened, and his heart was indescribably shocked.

Seeing Kong Jie leave, the monk got up quickly and said to Xu Qingnian in a hurry: "Brother, I used to be in the National Army or the Central Army. I didn't want to join the Eighth Route Army, but since I joined the Independence Regiment, I never Never regretted it."

"Listen to my advice, the leader really likes you! You stay at the little devil's place to work for the devil, and you bear the name of a traitor. Why don't you come to our independent group and do a good job, this place will be happy."

After finishing speaking, monk Wei, who was still a few days away, patted Xu Qingnian on the shoulder in an old-fashioned way: "Brother, I am optimistic about you!"

With that said, the monk turned around and chased outside the door, "Head, wait for me!"

The voice faded away, looking at the half-closed door, Xu Qingnian slowly clenched his fists, under the reflection of the fire, his dark red face fell into deep thought...
