Chapter 2870 Relief with Work

"Okay! My lord, leave this matter to me." Jiang Fei immediately nodded after pondering for a while.

"Do you have a solution?" The consul was stunned. He and his staff had been worrying for several days, but they didn't expect that Ralph would agree to it when he asked casually today.

"I have some ideas." Jiang Fei said.

"What are you going to do?" asked the consul.

"Four words work for relief!" Jiang Fei said.

"Relief with work?" The consul looked at a loss.

"My lord, it's because the common people can't eat because they don't have money, not because the merchants don't have food, right?" Jiang Fei asked.

"Yes!" The consul nodded, because the outbreak of the financial crisis was short enough to not affect grain production, so the grain merchants had grain in their hands, and the crops in the fields were growing well.

But the problem is that the gamma space is not highly centralized. Although the consul looks like a dictator, he can't order to forcibly confiscate the grain in the hands of the grain merchants and distribute it to the hungry common people.

If you want disaster relief, the government can sell grain from grain merchants and distribute it to the hungry people, but the problem is that the government has no money at the moment, and you always give food to the people for free. This is a bottomless pit with no head!

That's why the Consul and the others were worried about this before. Although it is the last step to force the grain merchants to open the grain depot to release grain, it is the last solution, but in that case, the rich will definitely unite to resist the Consul. The magistrate fled to the post, but was kicked out by the wealthy class, and the gain outweighed the loss, which was why the consul was hesitant to act.

"Since there is no shortage of food, the common people can't eat because they don't have money, so we just let them have money and it's over?" Jiang Fei laughed.

"It's easy to say, but we don't even have the money to give them disaster relief!" said the consul.

"Why give it to them for nothing? Didn't I just say, work for relief!" Jiang Fei laughed.

"What do you mean?" The consul seemed to have thought of something.

"We don't give them money for nothing, but give them jobs. You see, after the previous two turmoil, the entire city suffered a lot of damage. The life extension center must be rebuilt, and the houses in the rich area have also been destroyed a lot. , there also needs to be rebuilt, plus other things that have been lost, we have a lot of rebuilding tasks, and rebuilding requires people and people to work. These poor people who have food,

Isn't it the best labor? "Jiang Fei laughed.

"Let them work, and then we'll pay them?" the consul realized.

"That's right!" Jiang Fei said.

"But the problem is, we don't have the money to pay them salaries!" The consul spread his hands. Although he agreed to the war against the sheriff before, the consul and his government are also financially strained.

"It's not easy to have no money. Let the bank print more banknotes, and then we will have money? Use this money to pay those workers, and then they will definitely buy food for food. Once there are commercial activities, we We will be able to collect taxes! When the time comes, we will use the tax money to pay the workers next month's wages, won't the money just go away?" Jiang Fei laughed.

"It's interesting!" The consul's eyes lit up, this Ralph's attention was nothing but a white wolf!

Let the bank print a little more money, and then distribute it to the workers. The workers buy food and supplies, and then the shops pay taxes. After the taxes come up, the government can pay the workers again, although there will still be some The loss, but the government did not suffer a loss, a lot of infrastructure construction has been completed, if this is normal, the government will have to spend more money!

Because the government itself has the budget for infrastructure reconstruction, the money has to be spent no matter what. Instead, through this method of work-for-relief, it not only saves money, but also restores the financial trade of the entire market to normal. This is killing two birds with one stone!

"How did you come up with these ideas?" The consul looked at Jiang Fei and asked, he now felt that the warriors from this slum area were too talented, he could even come up with such a genius!

"I also came up with a whim." Jiang Fei said vaguely, he had learned these things from history textbooks when he was still on Earth, and he just took them here and used them.

"You are such a genius! Alright! I will leave this matter to you!" the consul said on the spot.

"Thank you sir for your trust!" Jiang Fei was very happy in his heart. Apart from gaining the trust of the consul, he was also happy because he dug a big hole for the consul unknowingly.

The legal currency is endorsed by the government, and there is no need for substantial high-value and high-value items as collateral. Its normal operation depends on the reputation of the government. If the government can play and is willing to play, then everything will go well, but if the government can’t play, or I didn't intend to have fun, this legal currency is the best weapon to rob the common people!

Because there is no need for such things as Yuelingjing as collateral, it seems that those who print and issue banknotes do not even need to consider the leverage that is several times the mortgage of Yuelingjing, but can print it at will. This has caused the government to take responsibility. It will limit the circulation of banknotes to make them conform to financial laws and maintain the stability of currency.

But if the government wants to plunder the wealth of the people, all they need to do is issue paper money indiscriminately. Anyway, it is printing randomly, so it can print as much as it wants. If the government has no money, it can just start the money printing machine.

The result of this is inflation, the currency depreciates wildly, and eventually the value of the currency is not even as valuable as the paper that prints the currency. This kind of thing has happened more than once on the earth, and Jiang Fei knows it well.

So now Jiang Fei inadvertently revealed a message to the consul, that is, if you have no money, you just need to start the money printing machine and print a little. , If you print without money, something will happen in the end.

The burying of this foreshadowing is equivalent to Jiang Fei planting a big bomb in the gamma space. The previous financial crisis was easily overcome. That is because the gamma space has a strong government as support. Endorsement, the new currency was quickly recognized.

But if the government's excessive currency issuance leads to a new round of financial crisis, then not only the financial system will collapse, but also the government's credibility. If the government loses credibility in the hearts of the people, what kind of currency will they issue again? , the common people don't recognize it anymore!

So at that time, it was the time when the gamma space was completely messed up!

And Jiang Fei left this foreshadowing just in case, if he can kill the snow beast smoothly, in fact Jiang Fei doesn't mind inoculating the consul in advance so that he doesn't issue paper money indiscriminately, but if Jiang Fei meets When he is in trouble, this foreshadowing will become his escape method, because once the gamma space is completely messed up, who will care about him!
