Great Tang princess

Chapter 688 Currency Crisis

The football match was played for four days in total, with two games a day for the first three days, and the finals on the fourth day were scheduled for the afternoon.

In the end, the Qingdao Military Region won the championship of this national competition with a record of complete victory.

As the highest officer of the Qingdao Military Region, Li Shu excitedly patted each player on the shoulder, expressing encouragement to them.

Being able to compare with other military regions at least shows that my working ability is still good, and I am naturally happy in my heart.

As for the championship bonus, she, the highest official, didn't want a single point, and gave it to all the players and substitute players.

As the runner-up, the Northeast Military Region actually performed quite well, and also gathered a large number of fans.

Liu Huang's expression was quite happy. Although he didn't win the championship, he at least compared Qianniuwei with Yizhou Military Region.

So only Li Shouli and Geng Yunqiang had dark faces and decided in their hearts that they should practice hard after returning home.

After the awards ceremony was over, Li Yuechen saw that they looked unhappy, so he called the heads of the four major military regions to the lounge.

Ask Xiaodong to pour a cup of tea for each of them, and then said: "First of all, I would like to praise Li Shu and Liu Huang by name. They have achieved good results in this competition!"

"Returning to Your Highness, red and black are relatively easy, and other colors... need more experiments." Du Er Er replied.

Although the football match is over, its impact is far from over.

Therefore, development must be developed, but the speed should not be too fast. Every time before entering the next stage, one must consider what should the elderly who are already at this stage do?
For example, after the start of the Industrial Revolution, practitioners in the handicraft industry will lose their jobs, and may even become refugees as a result, which in turn will become a factor of social instability.

"So, after you go back, don't embarrass the soldiers because of this matter, but encourage them a lot. Besides, in the future, the competition in the army will not compare to this."

The next day, Princess Xuancheng didn't go to work, and together with Pei Qingwan and Li Yuechen came to the paper mill outside the city.

I estimate that the people will not develop too fast, and other countries will not wait for you.

Besides, it was originally my own technology, so what if I block you?

People who have watched the game are frantically discussing the results of this game and which player is more eye-catching in the city every day.

But things like paper should have nothing to do with value.

Because once the development speed is too fast, too many things will be sacrificed in the middle.

This will invisibly lead to the problem of currency appreciation. The less money, the more valuable it is.

……

This is a win-win cooperation method for each other, so Li Yuechen hit it off with the envoys from various countries.

Li Yuechen thought a little deeper. In this way, the subsequent industrial technology and knowledge system all came from here.

Therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, it is necessary to impose a technological blockade on other countries, thereby forcing the pace of world development to be in their own hands.

Then you can block and suppress the technologies of other countries, so that you can control the speed and rhythm of the world's development in your own hands.

The two of them were nodding while listening, but suddenly they heard that there will be no more competition in the army in the future, so what should they compare?
Li Yuechen smiled: "In the future, this football will be handed over to professional football players. Army competitions will naturally be actual combat exercises and military games."

After asking some more questions, he turned and left.

Although it is not as good as those professional football players in the future, in this era, it is almost possible to walk sideways.

People in this era have a different understanding of money than people in the future.

"My Qingdao officers and soldiers don't look like they are in the navy, and their land combat capabilities are not bad." Li Shu responded with a smile.

Let them come to participate in the football match today, mainly to make an appearance.

Li Yuechen took this kind of paper and felt an obvious difference.

It sounds good, but a hasty appreciation of the currency may not be a good thing, it may cause more social problems.

In this regard, Li Yuechen said that there is no problem. You can also print the basic rules and other things in a book and give them to them, so that their country can support their own team.

People from other countries are also welcome to study abroad. As for whether the international students are willing to go back after enjoying the superior living conditions and treatment here, that is another matter.

……

There is the Japanese envoy Awata Masato, as well as envoys from Tubo, Turkic, Dashi, and Western Regions.

Copper production itself is not high, resulting in scarcity of currency, and things like silk have to be bought by many foreigners.

In terms of texture, it is a bit like kraft paper. It does not have the graininess of paper in this era, but is smooth.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult to promote banknotes in this era.

It is a favor to give you, and it is also a duty not to give.

After finalizing the willingness to cooperate with the envoys, Li Yuechen thought he would be free for a while, but within a few days, Pei Qingwan came to chat with her.

For example, where is the location of this actual combat exercise?
You must know that the military in different regions has different training priorities.

On the Yizhou side, because most of them are mountainous, the soldiers there are better at fighting in the mountains.

Then gradually use machines to slowly replace human labor...

Du Lao Er explained from the side: "Your Highness, this paper does not absorb ink very well, and the writing is easy to smudge, but if it is printed with special ink, it will not be like this..."

It was successfully developed at that time, but considering the problem of anti-counterfeiting, they still asked them to make the watermark more complicated, and the paper quality was also more crisp.

Anyway, sister-in-law is also an elder, so she pours tea herself, which is not considered presumptuous.

I opened the can and looked at it, it was black and gray.So I asked: "Maybe it can be made in other colors?"

"what?"

After getting into the carriage, tell them to go to the Engineering Academy.

For example, the damage to the environment, the protection of the people and so on.

So the envoys hurried back to write letters, explaining how enthusiastic the football match held in the Great Week was, etc...

To become an envoy of a country, one must have a good vision.

The two nodded in understanding.

Especially now that the country has begun to develop its economy, the drawbacks of this currency system have been fully manifested.

Although Qianniuwei is not afraid of anyone in the plain battlefield, if the exercise is scheduled for winter, it may be the time for the Northeast Military Region to play its role again.

Li Shu also nodded in agreement: "If it weren't for my aunt who taught in Qingdao, it would be impossible to get such a result. And Longji was also taught by my aunt, so naturally it would not be bad."

Take the navy as an example, it will definitely be better at swimming than the army, and knowledge of water is the basic operation.

Their purpose of coming to Li Yuechen was very simple, they wanted to write a letter to return to their country, so that their own country could raise a football team, and when the time came, they would come and compete with the big Zhou team.

When they arrived at the paper mill, Du Er Er hurried out to greet him.

In fact, as early as the year before last, Li Yuechen began to ask the paper mill to study the issue of money orders.

The size and thickness of the lines are at least indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Inside the carriage, Princess Xuancheng asked: "Is Chen'er planning to use this paper to replace copper coins?"

……

Therefore, before officially starting the industrial revolution, at least they should be told that their group of handicraftsmen is the last group, and that handicraftsmen will no longer be used in the future.

In the future, this sport will gradually enrich the entertainment life of ordinary people across the country.

Although Li Yuechen had never been a soldier, he knew about the military games.

After listening to Li Yuechen's explanation, the two immediately became full of confidence again.

Of course, as the oldest military boss, Geng Yunqiang thought of more things.

It's been a long time, and I don't know how it's developed.

That's why things like silk can be used as currency.

"Excuse me, how is the research on anti-counterfeiting watermark?" Li Yuechen cut to the chase.

Geng Yunqiang is also confident in this aspect. After all, before other military regions have been established, Qianniuwei has been led by His Highness to participate in many wars, and his experimental experience is also very rich.

This paper is thicker than regular rice paper, which is quite obvious.

It is not easy to make such smooth paper in this era.

"But this paper... has no value in itself, how can it be used as money?" Pei Qingwan was puzzled.

In this way, any frictions between other countries will tend to let Da Zhou help mediate or resolve them.

Only Liu Huang smiled and said nothing, and Yizhou and Qingdao focus on training on weekdays.

Li Yuechen took it and smelled it, the smell was not pungent, it could only be said to be rather special.

They are all deeply aware of the charm of this kind of competition, and it is also a good way to demonstrate national strength.

This is indeed a problem. In fact, there has always been a problem of insufficient coins in this era.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, the value of currency should actually be decided by the imperial court. If the imperial court says yes, then there will be. This is called reputation currency."

This point, others can not say anything.

When he came to the laboratory, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over: "Your Highness, please have a look."

"Well." Li Yuechen nodded, "It is a fact that it is inconvenient to carry copper coins now. The copper production in our country is not high. If it is used to mint coins, it will be even less..."

"I have seen the two Highnesses, I have seen..."

But it is not enough to just do this by yourself, because after the industrial revolution started, it means that all countries in the world have entered the mode of arms race.

But this is an abnormal phenomenon in itself, and Li Yuechen also thought about changing it.

"Sister-in-law is looking for me today, do you have anything to say?" Li Yuechen asked while pouring tea for her.

"Okay!" Pei Qingwan nodded in agreement.

At the beginning of September, a group of special guests came to the Princess Mansion.

Next, Li Yuechen plans to gather all the rich families and let them each support a football team of their own to form a club to play games.

"It's all taught by His Highness." Liu Huang laughed.

Du Er Er made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please follow me."

All countries participate in football matches, which means that the exchanges between countries will become closer and more frequent, which is a good thing for the development of the entire world.

Li Yuechen doesn't plan to say more about this matter now, anyway, the military exercises will be next year at the earliest.

Li Yuechen would definitely not engage in such things as forcible detention, but people are basically willing to climb up, and after enjoying good treatment, they may not be willing to go back.

In the eyes of the ancients, money itself should be valuable. For example, metals such as gold, silver and copper can be regarded as hard currency.

Then he lifted it up and looked at the sun, and he could see a complicated pattern in the center of the paper, a bit like a Chinese knot pattern.

The football duel between many countries will also bring the country's economy to a higher level.

Although he started to engage in industry, Li Yuechen didn't want to develop too fast after the industrial revolution started.

In this day and age, smooth paper is extremely difficult to make, which itself is a technical barrier.

Li Yuechen did not respond to the modesty of the two, turned to Li Shouli and Geng Yunqiang and said: "Shouli's training venue is limited after all, and such results are really normal. As for Hongfeng, you also know that Qianniuwei was the last one to play like this , it's not surprising that we can't win..."

While talking, he took out a small jar and handed it over: "This ink is made by mixing rosin and water..."

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen said: "Sister-in-law, wait for sister to come back, go out with me tomorrow."

If you add watermarks, inks and other technologies...you can try it.

First of all, it is stiff enough, and when you shake it in your hand, there will be a "squeaky" sound.

At the same time, the national army will conduct actual combat exercises, at least once a year in the future.

Li Shouli turned his head and said, "Hmph, if it's an actual combat exercise, my Yizhou soldiers will not lose."

But the northern border is different. Every now and then, there will be small frictions with foreigners. In terms of actual combat experience, they will definitely not lose to any of them.

Li Yuechen thought about it carefully, and combined with the existing conditions, he could come up with a good solution.

In short, no matter what, before entering the next stage, one should first consider the retreat of those who have been in this stage for many years and cannot adapt to the next stage.

Not to mention, in this competition, Li Longji's performance was indeed outstanding, and he was properly the number one striker in the country.

Pei Qingwan nodded: "Now the shops under my command have reported that as the business grows, it is too inconvenient to carry copper coins. This may even cause price fluctuations in the city... Xuancheng has also noticed this, and would like to ask His Highness, There is a solution..."

It was a military sports meeting of the world nature, and the comparisons were all the usual training subjects in the army, physical fitness, shooting, etc...

His explosive power, reaction speed, and ball-handling ability are all quite good.

Princess Xuancheng could understand what she meant: "Chen'er is saying that the imperial court's reputation will be used to guarantee the nationwide promotion of this banknote?"

"That's right, but not the whole country." Li Yuechen smiled, "Judging from the current capabilities, as long as this banknote can be used in Chang'an and Dongdu, it can solve many things."

Li Yuechen believes that even if paper currency is promoted, there is no rush to implement it nationwide.

Both Chang'an and Dongdong are the economic centers of the country. As long as these two places can operate, other places don't need to be considered for the time being.

Besides, whether the most critical point can be achieved, you have to go to the Academy of Engineering to ask the result.
