Chapter 126: Returning with a rewarding experience
Gold mining camps in Far East Alaska are generally divided into two parts. One side is where Far East soldiers live, and the other side is where Japanese workers live. They are separated by three hardwood fences in the middle, and observation points are built on the four corners.
, and soldiers of the Far East Guard Division are stationed day and night to prevent sudden dangerous incidents.
While using a large number of Japanese laborers, Li Ningyu also thought of many ways to better control their use. For example, these Japanese women and children were responsible for the logistics of the mine and panning for gold sand, and were also given a certain salary.
And the soldiers in the Far East relatively respect them, because Li Ningyu said this in front of everyone, that is, some people cannot represent everyone. Subsequently, the speed of gold mining in Alaska continued to accelerate, and among the 150,000 Japanese immigrants
Workers and 30 gold mines are mined at the same time.
Finally, before February of the following year, a total of 30 tons of gold was produced, which is 30,000 kilograms. At this time, the international gold price was 3 grams per pound, which was 30 million pounds.
Ponds of golden liquid were injected into the mold, and gold bars as thick as a thumb appeared in front of him. Boxes were filled on a freighter that was about to sail. Li Ningyu looked at the results of several months of hard work that he had indirectly participated in, and felt comforted.
Afterwards, it was natural to praise and reward everyone for their hard work. Afterwards, almost everyone present was blushing and extremely excited.
"Set sail!" Following Li Ningyu's order, a caravan of three cargo ships sailed toward the east under the escort of five ships. One gold bar per kilogram, one hundred gold bars per box, a total of 300 boxes.
, this is Li Ningyu’s first personal wealth, and where will he take this gold?
The gold standard prevailed in the 19th century. There were three forms of gold standard: gold coin standard, gold nugget standard, and gold exchange standard. Among them, the gold coin standard is the most typical form. In a narrow sense, the gold standard refers to the gold standard.
a monetary system.
The gold standard prevailed for about 100 years and then collapsed. There are three main reasons:
First, the growth rate of gold production is far lower than the growth rate of commodity production. Gold cannot meet the ever-expanding needs of commodity circulation, which greatly weakens the basis for the circulation of gold coins.
Second, the distribution of gold stocks among countries is unbalanced. Most of the gold stocks are controlled by a few powerful countries, which will inevitably lead to the destruction of the free casting and free circulation of gold coins and weaken the basis for the circulation of gold coins in other countries.
Third, when the First World War broke out, gold was concentrated on the purchase of arms by the participating countries, and free exports and bank notes were stopped, which ultimately led to the collapse of the gold standard.
What Li Ningyu has to do now is to prepare a large amount of gold to lay the foundation for the final comprehensive control of the full circulation of paper currency. Therefore, whether it is Taiwan, Ryukyu, North Korea, Alaska, or Hawaii, they have begun to use unified paper currency.
Currency, and collect all the original gold and silver, the gold is sealed, and the silver is transported to various countries to be exchanged for needed goods and gold.
In a word, it is three comprehensive aspects: first: comprehensive reserve of gold; second: comprehensive issuance of circulating banknotes; third: comprehensive spread of the Far East’s new economic system to all parts of the world.
At that time, everyone understood Li Ningyu's request for a comprehensive reserve of gold, and began to implement it according to his request. The comprehensive issuance and circulation of banknotes can also be achieved, but the spread is a bit difficult to understand. Then Li Ningyu explained to them: "If a
The British caravan needs to buy sugar in Hawaii, Taiwan, and Ryukyu. Do they need money to buy it?"
Everyone thought for a while and said: "Yes!".
Then Li Ningyu said: "When he buys our things, he may give us pounds or gold, but what if we buy their things?".
Then everyone suddenly realized that in the buying and selling transaction, the other party will naturally hold some Far Eastern currency, and as people move, the currency will also flow, so Li Ningyu only needs to be the person in charge of the Far Eastern economy to control the discovery of currency.
Quantity and supply and demand, remember not to issue too much or too little.
Just a few decades later, someone conducted a comprehensive analysis of the issue of currency in the Far East. In the end, there was only one answer, that is, although Li Ningyu did not know much about economic development, he created an economic system for the Far East.
An immortal poem, because at that time, the Asian dollar, the US dollar, the African dollar, and the euro had become the world's circulating currencies.
The Far East freighter was sailing on the vast Pacific Ocean. After dinner, everyone sat together again, because it was time for Li Ningyu to tell stories again. After looking at the people sitting around him, he remembered a story about himself in the army.
Then he shared it with everyone and said: "This story happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. A father and his son went to war together!".
"The father is a general, and the son is just a pawn. After a trumpet sounded, the drums thundered, the father solemnly held up a quiver with an arrow in it! Then the father solemnly said to his son: This is a treasure arrow, worthy of the
Take it with you and you will have endless power, but never draw it out."
"When my son saw it, he saw that it was an extremely exquisite quiver. It was made of thick cowhide and inlaid with a faintly shiny copper edge. Looking at the exposed arrow tail, he could tell at a glance that it was made of the finest peacock feathers.
The soldier's son was overjoyed, and he greedily thought about the arrow shaft and the shape of the arrow. The sound of arrows seemed to be whizzing past his ears. The enemy's commander broke off his horse and died in response. In the ensuing battle, the son armed with the treasured arrows was brave.
Extraordinary and invincible!"
"After a battle, when the horn of Ming Jin's retreat sounded, the pawn's son could no longer hold back the pride of victory and completely abandoned his father's instructions. The strong desire drove him to pull out his treasure arrow with a single call, trying to see what happened.
, and then suddenly he was stunned.”
"Because it was a broken arrow, and there was a broken arrow in the quiver. Then my son immediately thought that I had been fighting with only broken arrows! He broke out in a cold sweat, as if a house had lost its pillars in an instant, and his will suddenly collapsed.
Well, the result is self-evident, my son died tragically in the rebellion."
"In the mist of gunpowder smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and said seriously: "If you don't believe in your own will, you will never be a general. How stupid it is to pin your victory or defeat on a precious arrow.
How dangerous it is to leave the core and handle of life to others!..."
After Li Ningyu finished speaking, everyone began to reminisce about the story, but then Li Ningyu explained: "Actually, a person himself is just an arrow. If you want it to be tough, if you want it to be sharp, if you want it to pierce a tree with a hundred steps,
He can only hit the target by himself. If he doesn't believe in his own will, he will never become a general!"
