Chapter 352 Gold Standard
In fact, Linn's guess was correct.
The languid countess leaned up and chatted with him about some more detailed things about Qiu Shunting.
Beifeng Town is not only a paradise for nobles to hunt and enjoy the pastoral scenery, it is also a junction.
Leaders from all walks of life in each county will come here, and naturally in a happy and joyful atmosphere, a chain of cross-county adaptation will be formed, and even a super interest group involving most of the country will be formed, and this interest group will normally If the situation had been thirty years ago, it would have taken hundreds of social dances, more than a year, many wise leaders of the family, a far-sighted king, and rare but rare opportunities to take shape.
Nowadays, due to the convenience of transportation and information, I can only say that technology changes life, and it changes not only life. For example, the circulation of wealth and resources is also increasing rapidly with the speed of trains. Things like money are like giants. There will be no change if it hides in a cave like a dragon. Only when it flows through an individual can they be motivated to create wealth.
The countess spoke at length about this.
In the luxurious carriage, Amiste taught Lin En earnestly. Her introduction was intended to let Lin gradually get familiar with some things. Extraordinary people are short-lived, but if they can survive, they can still live for a long time. For example, if Lin En doesn't die like crazy now, [Spring] and [Blazing]'s bonus to life will push him to at least two hundred years old.
What about Amiste?
It may only take a few decades for the natural life span to reach its limit. Even if the appearance is not old, the mentality will gradually fail to keep up. Death is not the only way back to physical destruction.
Lifespan theory.
Everyone's outcome is destined. It is better to pursue a meaningful process and prove that you have lived in the world.
Linn had been listening carefully to Amiste's tireless narration. He probably mentioned the immortal species of elves, and the young gentleman became a little sentimental in his heart. The countess's serious and unreserved narration always made him feel a little worried. If she had been more selfish towards him, maybe he wouldn't be like this.
"What's wrong? He suddenly looked at me and stopped talking."
The Countess carefully pushed aside Linn's hair to expose her forehead, and asked in confusion.
"...Nothing, I just thought that currency is a ruler to measure a country's wealth, and it is equivalent." Linn stared at Amiste's beautiful face for a few seconds, making sure that he already had more than just a crush on her. love.
'I want to live with you forever. ’
Lin En secretly made a decision. He must climb up to the level of demigod. Unlike Sophia's love that is similar to family, he met Amiste and fell in love with her. He vaguely guessed her age and then Thinking about it, he realized how precious time is.
"From your big plan, I already know that you can show outstanding talents in different fields. But I still want to hear your thoughts on wealth."
This also determines who I will choose when sending people to Lin En in the future. Amiste was actually quite curious as to whether the young gentleman's brain would be the first to achieve results in government affairs, or whether he would be extraordinary and successful. It is a great thing that a person's talent can cover multiple fields.
In fact, Amiste was simply fooled by Lynn.
Most of them are giants of borrowed ideas and dwarfs of practice. They have only taken the first step in what they really want to do, and they need professionals to help them. Linn is a man who is knowledgeable but not brilliant. He can shine no matter where you put him. As for how long this light can shine, it depends on comprehensive factors.
"Wealth, if it were me in the past, I think wealth would be gold pounds or gold coins. After all, gold pounds can bribe the righteous gods. With a clank, the soul will go to heaven."
Lynn teased with two racket jokes.
Although this world is rotten, the righteous God does exist, so no brave guy dares to engage in such things as indulgences. Maybe the front foot was damaged, and maybe the back foot was removed.
"I recently read an article, it should be said to be an economic report. The Precious Metals Act introduced by Albion is already being implemented, which means that including gold and silver, it will greatly reduce the external circulation. The wealth of the entire continent may be measured. Recalculated with the shake of the old system.”
Linn climbed up from the countess' snow-white body and asked the head maid for a pen and a piece of paper to explain what she said.
"Recalculate? Let's talk about it again." Amiste became a little more serious.
In fact, what Lynn is talking about now is a topic that was hotly discussed by the financial officials of Terra Street after the war.
"This is very complicated, and I can't guarantee that I can explain it clearly..."
Seeing that the countess was interested, Linn followed her down. He first started with the precious metal plan and trade protection policy, and circled Albion's economic direction.
Albion is the first country in the mainland to step into the steam revolution, and it can be called a mainland factory. Supporting this change are the international gold standard and free trade policies. You don't have to look at other messy things. These two cornerstones must be looked at. Of course, the war will have an impact on the economy. Albion was the one who fought the most in the continental war. Like Goun, many men died and the labor force fell. In order to maintain the wartime economy, a large amount of real money was drained out, in exchange for Supplies come in.
Linn didn't know how much gold and silver Albion still had in reserve, but Xunsi should have dropped by at least 40% or more than before the war.
Gold is a precious metal and an international metal currency. In fact, not all countries reserve gold. They also have silver, copper, and other strategic reserves and international metal reserves. The purpose is to avoid losses when the national currency or the currency of other countries fluctuates sharply.
If the two cornerstones before the war are maintained, the international gold standard and the free trade policy. Guess what will happen? Surrounded by wolves, Albion will usher in the sunset of a sharp decline in national strength.
Therefore, as long as the financial civil servants at No. 10 Terra Street are not stupid, they must find a way to stabilize the current economy first, and then find a way.
But the precious metals are not in their own homes. This is not a simple solution. This is why Lin En speculated that wealth will be recalculated and measured.
This disgusting war is over.
Don't think about grabbing gold legitimately in the short term. Just think about how to get out of the predicament that can be seen with the naked eye. The situation on Gao En's side is not much better than Albion. The fiscal deficit is like a cliff waiting in front of the national carriage.
Therefore, Lynn speculates that the civil servants will most likely no longer maintain the international gold standard, but will move towards a new monetary system.
