Chapter 2869: After the Crisis
"But even if the existing currency is abolished, what's the use of reissuing a new currency? Without the support of the moon spirit crystal, the common people will not recognize it. By then, it will still be a pile of waste paper?" the consul asked.
"This is the key point. You must decouple the currency from the Moon Spirit Crystal, so as to resolve this crisis. Otherwise, even if the robbed Moon Spirit Crystal is retrieved, they will not be able to complete it because the bank issues too much paper money." Exchange." Jiang Fei said.
"I understand the truth, but the question is how to make the common people recognize the new currency?" said the consul.
"It's simple, you and your government just endorse this currency directly!" Jiang Fei said.
"Ah?" The consul was taken aback by Jiang Fei's words.
"You see, your government needs to collect various taxes and fees from the gamma space. This is a very stable wealth, and as long as the government exists, this income will grow steadily, so it is more valuable than the Moon Spirit Crystal. Coupled with the authority and credibility of the government, as long as you stand up and endorse the new currency, the common people are willing to admit it, because when you collect taxes, you collect the new currency, so merchants will recognize it, and then buy and sell things When merchants recognize this new currency, ordinary people can spend it to preserve value, so why don’t they recognize it?” Jiang Fei said.
"It sounds feasible!" The consul's eyes lit up. Although what Jiang Fei said was relatively general, a person in a high position like him quickly understood the essence of it.
"Of course it's possible!" Jiang Fei thought to himself, the transition from the gold standard currency to the fiat currency era has already been experienced on the earth. As long as the rulers don't try their best to print money, this currency system is quite stable. After all, as long as If the government exists in a stable and healthy state, then the currency endorsed by the government will definitely remain stable.
"Okay! Anyway, it's a dead horse as a living horse doctor now, so I'll try your plan!" The consul immediately summoned his staff, and then told everyone about Jiang Fei's plan. After the plan, these staff members It wasn't for nothing, and soon everyone filled up Jiang Fei's sloppy plan.
One day later, the consul issued an order to abolish the original currency, but everyone can go to the bank to exchange for the newly issued currency at a ratio of one to one, and the newly issued currency cannot be directly exchanged for Moon Spirit Crystal, but This currency is recognized by the government. In the future, the government's taxes or fines, as well as the expenses of various public affairs, will all be settled in the new currency, and the salaries of government agencies will also be settled in this new currency!
On the day the order was issued, the common people still didn't believe it, but some people would be the first to try to eat crabs. After these people exchanged the new currency and paid taxes with the new currency, they bought it in a store directly operated by the government. After getting their things, the common people flocked to the banks, and they all began to exchange the new currency.
After all, there is a new currency that is officially recognized one to one,
Who is willing to spend four times or even five times the price to buy Moon Spirit Crystal!
And the most important thing is that the government does not recognize the status of the base currency of the Moon Spirit Crystal now, which means that you can no longer use the Moon Spirit Crystal as a general equivalent to trade goods. After losing the status of the general equivalent, the Moon Spirit Crystal This kind of gem-like thing, which is not very useful in itself, begins to depreciate rapidly.
The people who currently hold the most Moon Spirit Crystals are undoubtedly those gangsters. The bank took this opportunity to recycle a lot of old banknotes. With the government's endorsement, these old banknotes were exchanged for new banknotes, and then became the bank's reserves.
All of a sudden, the bank has money again. Although the common people suffered heavy losses in this financial crisis, the crisis was passed in time. Pulled back.
The common people are actually very comforting. When they are desperate and really can’t eat, they will definitely rebel, but as long as they are given half a mouthful of stick noodles so that they can make do with it, most of the common people are still willing to live in peace.
With the issuance of the new currency, the society in Gamma Space quickly stabilized, but the problem has not been completely resolved now. After all, after this crisis, the wealth of ordinary people has generally shrunk sharply, although a few people have made money during this period. Huge profits, but most people are reduced to below the poverty line.
"Ralph, yes, you can come up with such a good solution!" Although the consul still has a lot of problems to solve at this time, at least he has settled the imminent matter, and he is most grateful to Jiang flew.
"Hehe, I also had a whim." Jiang Fei said with a smirk. In fact, his plan also has a lot of loopholes, but he didn't say it, because the gamma space is too stable, which is not a good thing for him, so Of course Jiang Fei had to keep a handle in his own hands.
"I have to say, you kid is really a genius!" The consul smiled, and then continued: "It's really thanks to you this time, what reward do you want?"
"Reward..." Jiang Fei deliberately pondered for a moment, and then said to the consul, "My lord, it's no fun for me to be by your side all day. You are quite safe now. I want to find something to do."
"Oh? Find something to do?" The consul frowned. He knew that Jiang Fei was asking him for an official position, and he had just made great contributions, so he should be rewarded, so it is always bad to refuse directly.
But the problem is that the Consul also feels that Jiang Fei is a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse this time. He may not really have that ability. Go wipe his ass yourself.
So in all fairness, although the consul trusts Jiang Fei, he doesn't believe in his ability, so he would rather give more money and treatment, but he doesn't want to give Jiang Fei an important position, lest he be stabbed because he doesn't understand anything. Lou Zi.
"Let's do this!" The consul thought for a long time, but he didn't have the nerve to directly reject Jiang Fei. After all, Jiang Fei's contribution this time was a bit big, so he thought of a way to make Jiang Fei retreat.
"You see, because of the previous crisis, the common people are living in dire straits. Although the new currency has stabilized the society, many people have returned to the poverty line because of this crisis. Do you have a solution? If you have a solution, I will I will let you do this." The consul is deliberately making things difficult for others. Now his government has nothing, and the people are even poorer. Although the new currency has been issued, the little money in the hands of the people is They were all cheated by gangsters before, so they couldn't exchange for new currency at all.
To put it bluntly, everyone has no money!
