Chapter 635 Military Notes 4
Erin's suggestion made Paul laugh dumbly.
He waved his hand and said, "Theoretically it is completely feasible, but it is completely unoperable at this stage."
Eileen was not convinced, pouted and asked: "Why?"
Paul shrugged his shoulders and explained: "Didn't I just say that? The amount of money and material wealth in society must maintain a dynamic balance. If there is more money and less material, there will be inflation, and if there is less money and more material, there will be deflation. I think Human beings today still lack the ability to reasonably quantify the total wealth of society, so they cannot judge how many banknotes should be printed every year, and the prestige of the royal government can be destroyed if not careful. "
"Furthermore, public acceptance is also a big problem. If you rashly claim that it has the same effect as real money and silver using a bunch of paper, everyone will just think that the Royal Government is robbing."
"So now we can only trial it in places with high compliance, such as the military, and the scope is small, and it is easy to control and repair if something goes wrong."
"Okay!" Eileen was a little frustrated, "It seems that we can't rush it. I don't know if I can see the day when the streets are full of people using banknotes."
"Ahem, Paul." Catherine looked at her fiancé, her eyes softer than ever before, "You should mention this idea to His Majesty the King as soon as possible."
——
"Based on the above, I think this convenience can effectively solve the problem of insufficient military expenditure of the Royal Government and is worth a try."
At the royal meeting held by King Rodney XVIII, Paul spoke eloquently and introduced in detail his military plan.
After discussing with the two princesses that day, and at Catherine's urging, Paul went to the king that day and reintroduced his immature ideas to him.
After Rodney XVIII listened carefully to Paul's narrative, he was very interested in his thoughts.
After he returned, he thought about it alone for a day. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was very feasible to replace military pay with military coupons made of paper.
After agreeing in his heart, Rodney XVIII couldn't wait to convene a royal meeting.
After asking Paul to speak again in front of the ministers, Rodney XVIII asked: "Everyone, what do you think? Let me tell you my point of view first. Earl Grayman's idea is a good medicine. I I think I can try it.”
The ministers had different reactions. There were too many new things in Paul's words, such as general equivalents, inflation and deflation. Some people were in a fog and looked confused, while others frowned. Lock, and some people suddenly became enlightened.
After a period of whispers, Count Naik Scarlet stood up and echoed: "I agree with your Majesty and Count Grayman. You can give it a try."
He's the kingdom's finance minister, and any idea that takes less money from him is a good idea.
Count Morin, the head of intelligence, said: "Your Majesty, if you don't handle this well, it will be bad if the soldiers mutiny."
As the head of intelligence, he instinctively guarded against all possible dangers.
Rodney XVIII said: "But we cannot abandon a good idea because of a dangerous event that has not yet happened."
"Oh, you are right, Your Majesty, I meant to do this with caution."
Palace Minister Rupert said: "I also think that Earl Grayman's idea can be given a try. And from a certain point of view, military votes are equivalent to binding soldiers to the royal government."
"Bound?" Everyone present looked at the Prime Minister with doubts.
Rupert explained: "Think about it, the military coupons issued by the Royal Government are currently only recognized by the Royal Government as valid. If a soldier rebels and runs to Giles' territory with the military coupons, he will Can I buy what I want there? No, the military tickets are just useless paper, and his wealth is equivalent to being invalidated!"
"You're right!"
Rupert's words made everyone's eyes light up.
Even Paul was surprised. Even he himself didn't expect this. He originally thought that the military stamps were simply to solve the problem of insufficient metal currency.
Mr. Palace Prime Minister is really an old fox.
Rodney XVIII was very happy. He discovered another wonderful use of military tickets.
He glanced at everyone, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"
No one raised any objections. It seemed that what Rupert just said made everyone agree.
"Well, in that case, Count Scarlet."
"His Majesty!"
"It's up to you to research. What denominations should the military coupons have, what is the denomination, what pattern should it be printed on, and what goods can be exchanged for it. I think you should ask Earl Grayman for more advice before he leaves the royal capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Finance Minister accepted the order.
"As for who should be handed over to print military stamps..."
To research a new type of paper material, it must be manufactured in large quantities...
So I need to find a company that has certain attainments in papermaking and printing...
Rodney XVIII looked at Paul, "If we need to use military funds as soon as possible, there seems to be no other choice."
Everyone looked at Paul. Now everyone knew that the papermaking technology and printing technology in the Northwest Bay were the most advanced.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The idea of military votes was proposed by Earl Grayman. It is difficult not to make people doubt whether he has some selfish motives in this regard.
Many people even looked at Paul teasingly.
My day!
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Paul cursed in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have let Rodney XVIII speak out himself at the meeting today, and he would have kept his merits and fame to himself.
"Count Graman, I think you should be prepared in this regard. I hope that after Count Scarlett perfects the plan, you can print it out immediately."
Since the king has spoken, wouldn't it be hypocritical to refuse?
Paul had no choice but to respond: "Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will start preparing when I go back, but I hope you can recommend me a skilled seal engraver."
Rodney XVIII nodded, "I will let him go to you with the plan."
Paul moved closer to the king again - he was sitting next to the king - and whispered in his ear: "That... Your Majesty, I want to confirm. This... Is this a business behavior?"
Rodney XVIII frowned and whispered: "Of course, I will definitely not let you work in vain, but I hope you will give me a cheap price."
"Oh, of course, Your Majesty, I will not include the cost of research and development in the price."
Paul was relieved and straightened his body to do it well.
Although he had given the job to Paul, Rodney XVIII still felt a little weird.
He actually had to exchange real money for a pile of paper. If it were his old self, he would definitely think this was a crazy idea.
Alas, I hope this military note can really play a huge role as imagined.
