Early the next morning, Qi Yu summoned Tan Junyan to discuss with him the matter of overseas money.
Silver, as the world's universal currency, must establish a relatively standardized evaluation system, otherwise, transaction disputes will arise due to uneven quality.
The first is the formulation of tastings.
There are two main traditional methods, one is to observe its color, and the other is to hear its sound. Although there is some scientific basis in it, it is not particularly rigorous.
The common people's method is simpler. Just bite it with your teeth. If it feels soft and greasy, it means it is made of silver, and if it scratches your teeth, it means it is mixed with impurities. It is for this reason that the silver on the market is full of tooth marks.
Regardless of the method, Qi Yu believes that this link should be completed by the bank.
There are two reasons.
Oh no!
It should be said that there are two purposes.
First of all, the government's control of external money can effectively curb foreigners' shenanigans of shoddy money. This not only appears authoritative, but also avoids many disputes.
Secondly, you can take this opportunity to guide them to exchange silver for Asian dollars, thereby reducing the circulation of silver on the market. This method can effectively prevent the outflow of private silver, which is very important for the entire provincial financial system.
Extremely beneficial and extremely important.
Even a fool knows what the outflow of silver means. How could Qi Yu not know it with his advanced knowledge?
In short, the big principle is that all precious metals can only go in but not out.
After hearing this, Tan Junyan expressed great admiration: "Master Qi, are you trying to emptied all the overseas wealth?"
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "Empty out? How can it be that easy? It will take at least several decades to achieve this step! Unless our Asian dollar can be widely circulated around the world, otherwise, in the short term,
It’s absolutely impossible to do it within the time limit.”
Regarding widespread circulation, he only paid lip service to it.
How can it be so easy for foreigners to recognize Asian dollar banknotes?
After formulating the specific standards, Qi Yu suddenly asked: "How is our export situation in Qiongzhou in recent times?"
Tan Junyan replied: "On a month-on-month basis, there is an increase of about 10% per month; on a year-on-year basis, it has basically doubled."
Qi Yu nodded and asked, "How is the bank's deposit collection situation?"
Tan Junyan thought for a while and said: "Due to the large-scale construction of real estate, people have raised money to buy houses, so the situation of collecting savings is not particularly ideal. However, due to the large inflow of silver brought by the trade surplus, this disaster relief has just been hedged
Huge expenditures, otherwise, a worrying run effect is very likely to occur."
What a blessing! What a blessing!
If the economic foundation is damaged due to disaster relief, it will be in a state of collapse and will not be able to recover for many years.
This also shows how important soft power is to a place.
If you lose these supports, what else can you use to develop military power?
The bottom line is just one sentence: If you don’t have money, everything is just wishful thinking!
…
Three days later.
Qi Yu still went to the office on time as usual.
However, just as he was sitting in his seat, he saw a yamen servant coming to report in a hurry, saying: Wang Zhifan, the champion of martial arts, failed to stop his attack in time when they were sparring in the ring, and accidentally seriously injured an old boxer from Qiongzhou.
Qi Yu was startled and asked quickly: "Severely injured? Then, how serious is it?"
The yamen servant hurriedly replied: "As you can tell Sir, the boxer's limbs and spine have all suffered severe fractures. He is currently being treated in the hospital. According to the old dean, Mr. Wen Zhu, the man may be... bedridden for the rest of his life.
"
Huh?
wrong!
Very wrong!
You see, if it was an accidental injury, and the move was careless and the hand was stopped in time, how could all the limbs and spine be fractured?
There is only one explanation, that is, this Wang Zhifan did it on purpose!
If this is the case, his character is not generally bad.
Qi Yu thought about it for a moment, and then made a decisive decision to immediately send people to capture Wang Zhifan and interrogate him severely.
If we can find effective legal evidence, he will be punished immediately.
Huh, those who dare to bully me, Qiongzhou, will have to pay a corresponding price!
However, his order aroused unanimous opposition from all officials.
"Master Qi, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Oh? But why?"
Yu Hai first stopped the matter, and then explained in detail: "My lord, I don't know. There are special rules for ring battles, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to participate."
Qi Yu asked curiously: "What rules?"
Yu Haixi said: "Whenever there is a fight in the ring, both parties will sign a life and death document in advance and use it as a legal certificate. Let alone an accidental injury, even if someone dies on the spot, it does not violate the law. So,
, you cannot carry out the arrest!"
After a pause, he continued: "In addition, Wang Zhifan set up competitions in all directions in response to the imperial court's call. If you capture him, how are you going to explain it to His Majesty? You must know that he is a martial artist appointed by the Holy Emperor.
Sanding Jia, even if he has made a mistake, His Majesty should be the one to make the judgment. How can we arrest him just by saying he is arrested?"
After hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but frown.
He really didn't expect that there would be such weird rules in the ring.
If this was the case, wouldn't he just be able to just stare?
Qi Yu thought for a while and said solemnly: "No! I have to stop this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, similar tragedies will continue to happen!"
Yu Hai still disagreed and said: "If we call a stop, wouldn't it mean that we in Qiongzhou are afraid because our skills are inferior to others? This way of dealing with it is very embarrassing."
"Face? How much is face worth?" Qi Yu shook his head and said: "Human life is of the utmost importance, and a lot of money is valuable! Losing human life just for the sake of face, what's the difference between that and a fool's thinking?"
"this……"
"I still say the same old saying, everything is based on the people, but I will find a way to stop anything that hurts the people!"
As soon as the words "people-oriented" were mentioned, Yu Hai stopped talking and stopped persuading.
He knew Master Qi's temperament very well. Even if it was a matter of principle, even if he tried to persuade him, it would be in vain. So he might as well avoid discussing it and just do as he said.
Yu Hai said 'hmm' and immediately asked: "Master Qi, when do you plan to stop?"
"It's now!"
"Now?"
"yes!"
Qi Yu's face straightened and he said solemnly: "Human life is at stake, how can we delay? Of course, the sooner the better!"
Seeing how stubborn he was, Yu Hai could only say: "Everything is at your discretion."
"Okay, let's go now!"
After saying that, Qi Yu ordered his men to prepare their horses quickly, and then went straight to the arena.
