Chapter 491： Merchant loses another game

The exchange rate of the new currency suddenly dropped a lot, which of course is not a normal phenomenon.

Wu Changqing has been paying attention to the issuance of the new currency. After noticing this situation, Qin Fen, who came to the Intelligence Department to ask a few questions, knew that the merchants were engaging in tandem.

After all, this kind of thing is really easy to inquire.

The difficulty lies in how to deal with it.

It is obviously not feasible to directly rob and behead the businessmen who are engaged in cascading.

The merchants in the entire Jinling Chamber of Commerce control the most important businesses of Dahua at present, and most of them are still in a monopoly position.

Once they cause their collective resistance, I am afraid that Dahua will have some civil strife.

Although this kind of turmoil cannot shake the foundation of Dahua, it will stagnate Dahua's economic development, which is unnecessary.

Moreover, even if this group of businessmen is slaughtered, the next group of businessmen is estimated to have this kind of virtue, which is a unique attribute of their class, which is difficult to change.

Compared with the simple and rude decapitation, Wu Changqing has other methods.

To make it simple, you can force those people to exchange into new coins and collect the silver bullion circulating in the market.

Relying on the current powerful force of Dahua, it is not difficult to do this.

But this is still not a good idea. Forced persecution will inevitably make people dissatisfied.

This kind of dissatisfaction may not see any negative effects in the short-term, but it will definitely have negative effects in the long-term, at least it will affect the image of the court, and it will give people an overbearing impression.

It is precisely because of various checks and balances that governing the country is not an easy task.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Changqing decided to adopt some gentler methods.

First of all, in the future, official salaries will be issued in SGD. This alone will allow a large amount of SGD to be added to the market.

Secondly, he also stipulated that the taxation department must only accept new currency when collecting taxes.

I want to pay taxes, okay, come here with SGD. I'm sorry that the government doesn't recognize the previous silver.

This regulation seems to be unfavorable to the issuance of new coins. After all, taxation accepts the previous silver, which can also be used to mint new coins. Now, instead of accepting the previous silver, there is a shortage of the source of raw materials for coinage.

But in fact, the most fundamental issue of the new currency is not how to get the raw materials for the coin, but how to make everyone accept the new currency and rely on the new currency.

No matter how much silver you get, no one can exchange the new coins that are all-match.

However, if, in some way, those people are forced to use the new currency, those people will have to exchange the new currency.

Wu Changqing’s rule is to create demand for new coins for those people.

Paying taxes, this is a hurdle that most Chinese can't escape.

If you want to pay taxes, then take SGD.

No SGD, sorry for not accepting tax.

But don’t think it’s a good thing that the government doesn’t accept taxes. After a while, some of them cried when the tax department came to pay a fine and ransack their homes.

At that time, the government can't be blamed. After all, the government is acting in accordance with the law, and there are laws to follow, but it is not in the unreasonable category.

The merchants were immediately dumbfounded as soon as this move was made.

Especially for those businessmen who have just reached the tax deadline, they are almost crying out of the tax bureau in Dahua.

The silver and old-style silver bills brought with you will not be recognized, and only new coins will be accepted.

If the tax cannot be paid in time, the lightest is to pay an extra fine.

Ever since, these people who can't stand it can only rush to the Royal Bank to line up to exchange new currency.

Suddenly, more people exchanged new currency.

What's more terrible is that because the minting speed of the new currency is limited, the new currency will soon be exchanged.

And what about those who have to pay taxes without redeeming the new currency?

There is no other way but to go to the street to buy new coins with a sign. One hundred taels of silver begged for ninety-eight yuan, and one hundred taels for ninety-five yuan brand, which is not uncommon.

Those who had exchanged the new currency before took a look, oh, there is such a good thing.

So whoever **** goes to work, then go to the Royal Bank every day to line up to exchange the new currency to make money, won't it be over.

There are many people who have this idea, and some people have more novel brain circuits, and a rumor was born directly about this phenomenon.

It is said that the silver of those who raised their placards for exchange is miscellaneous silver of insufficient fineness. If you want to cheat money in this way, you will definitely suffer a loss when you exchange it with them.

It is also said that the government will issue a limited number of new coins, and after a part of it is issued, it will stop issuing, so it is especially precious and should be cherished as a family heirloom.

It is also said that the new one yuan issued by the government now contains more than one or two silver, and then it was discovered by a black-hearted businessman that he wanted to buy it and melt it to make money.

In short, many versions of rumors were born in a short time, some of which were so outrageous that people couldn't look at them directly, but they were still believed by others.

No matter how many rumors there are, in short, these rumors have led to a result, that is, civilians increasingly recognize the new currency and are unwilling to exchange the new currency with others for old-style silver.

This situation makes those big businessmen want to cry without tears.

They were unable to explain and refute the rumors to the people one by one. They wanted to publish a few articles in the Dahua Daily to refute the rumors, but they were rejected by the Dahua Daily as ‘things are too small to qualify.’

Dahua Daily is the mouthpiece of the government, and businessmen want Dahua Daily to speak for them. It’s just a dream.

Of course, the merchants actually control a newspaper dedicated to them, that is, the business newspaper.

The point is, business newspapers are all businessmen, and people don’t like newspapers like this. It doesn't make any sense to publish articles that refute rumors.

After all, people who can read commercial newspapers don't need to read their articles to know that it is a rumor.

The businessmen still wanted to struggle, but after a conflict with someone from the tax department when a businessman was fined for paying taxes too late, the businessmen stopped insisting.

The businessman who was in conflict with the tax department was put on a tax-resistant hat and ransacked his home.

Everyone knows that the businessman is not responsible for the crime. This is because the government is killing chickens to show other monkeys.

If the other monkeys don't know each other anymore, they may be the ones who suffer.

The government will not clean up too many profiteers at once, but it is okay to knock out a few at a time.

No one can guarantee that the hapless one is not himself.

As a result, the tandem event disappeared overnight, and there were countless merchants who went to the Royal Bank to book new currency.

Wu Changqing also took the opportunity to introduce the silver ticket, and clearly stipulated that the silver ticket can be used to pay taxes, and the old-style silver can be directly exchanged for the same amount of silver ticket.

As soon as this order was issued, those merchants who were anxious to pay taxes began to exchange bank notes.

Wu Changqing's decree not only resolved the issuance of new coins, but also completed the issuance of bank notes.

Moreover, this decree also prevented those businessmen from picking out too many problems.

Dahua's businessman, lose one more time.
