I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

At the meeting, many generals had a heated debate.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and without a backbone, it is impossible to unify opinions.

In the beginning, the arguments that everyone could be reasonable about turned into disputes over positions, and there was a tendency to fight first if there was a disagreement.

In short, in the end, more than 3,000 troops left and went to the Mongolian steppe.

The remaining 11,000 people stayed in the camp and sent envoys to Jinzhou to seek surrender.

When Tang Guozhen's troops returned to Jinzhou, they had already completed the handover ceremony.

Therefore, Tang Guozhen was like coming back in vain.

But it doesn't matter, once Dorgon died, and the last military force of the Qing army surrendered, the next step was to occupy each city, and then appease the people and relieve disasters.

In the huge northeast, more than 2 million square kilometers of land was included in Dahua, which nearly doubled the area of ​​Dahua's territory. It was such an exaggeration.

At this time, the territory of the Qing Dynasty was not only the northeast of later generations, but also a large area of ​​Russia.

For example, places such as Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island are currently in the Qing Dynasty.

With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, various places have surrendered to Dahua, and these places have naturally become the territory of Dahua.

Although the territory is large, other than adding some resource points to Wu Changqing, there are not many other benefits and help.

After all, the population here is very small. In the territory of more than two million square kilometers, the total population is less than 500,000. It is such a vast area and sparsely populated.

And before the Little Ice Age passed, this place was not even suitable for immigration, it was too cold.

The Beida Cang of later generations was still a barren land at this time, and it was not yet suitable for reclamation.

Only when the weather warms up in the future can the Songjiang Plain and the Nenjiang Plain be effectively developed and become granaries.

Nanjing.

Dorgon died in battle, and Wu Changqing just casually glanced at the folds that the cities in the northeast were successively attached to, but didn't pay much attention to them.

He swelled after getting through the rough early days and taking Nanjing. The heroes of the world, in his eyes, are like the people who sell the first.

These people will die when they die, and he will not sigh.

At this time, Wu Changqing was busy grading the examination papers for this imperial examination.

In this imperial examination, there was one question that stumped most of the candidates, and that was how to deal with the massive inflow of silver.

Serious outflow of silver is not good for the country, but too much inflow of silver is actually not good.

This question has stumped many bigwigs in the cabinet.

This time, I put this question in the test paper because I want to see the wisdom of people in the world.

After correcting several papers in a row, Wu Changqing didn't see any answer that caught his eye.

Even, there are some very outrageous answers.

Some candidates said that the use of silver in foreign trade is prohibited in the future, and it is necessary to exchange things for things.

For this point of view, Wu Changqing directly gave zero points.

If the use of silver is banned, the scale of overseas trade will have to shrink by more than 80%, and tens of thousands of people in Dahua will immediately lose their jobs and go bankrupt.

The reduction of trade will also have a great impact on Dahua's economy.

After making corrections all the way, Wu Changqing finally saw an answer that made his eyes shine.

【Establish a global standard currency. 】

The candidate said that the standard currency within Dahua can be promoted to global trade.

At that time, it was stipulated that the standard currency of Dahua must be used to purchase Dahua's goods.

What if not? Don't panic, just exchange your gold bullion and silver bullion at the bank.

Of course, Dahua will definitely have to charge some fire costs and handling fees in the process.

In this way, in addition to earning a lot of money, Dahua's standard currency can also become the universal currency of the world.

And when Dahua's silver coins become the only standard currency in world trade, the benefits are very, very, very many.

For example, if Dahua runs out of money, the next time the silver coin minted will be mixed with some worthless metal, and the money will appear out of thin air, which is wonderful.

It would be even better if we could popularize banknotes so that all countries in the world would recognize Dahua's banknotes and circulate banknotes in the future.

If you don't have money, you can print hard and you're done.

Printing money and using it in Dahua's mainland is to deceive the people of this country, which is naturally not good.

But it's wonderful to use it to trick foreigners.

Of course, the candidate will not be so superficial and said so simply.

In fact, this article is very word count and very well thought out.

For example, what if foreigners come to Dahua to buy goods with banknotes printed by Dahuaduo? There is also a solution in the article.

And, scouring the wool is just a short-sighted benefit.

In fact, the point of the article is not to scour the wool. After the Dahua currency becomes the world's standard currency, there are many ways to control foreign economies.

Just a little play with monetary policy can bring down the economies of other small countries.

After all, not every country can be as large as Dahua, with all kinds of goods and everything you want.

Like some small countries, in order to maximize benefits, they often focus on the export of one or two advantageous commodities.

For example, Siam only exports rice to China. Once Dahua suppresses these two commodities, it will increase the import of rice.

Tariffs, then the economy of Siam will collapse.

At that time, Dahua will be able to subdue the enemy without fighting, and the other party has to agree to any request, otherwise it will wait for the people all over the country to lose their jobs and go bankrupt.

There are many other methods of this kind, and there are more complex and irresistible means.

This article is quite esoteric, at least Wu Changqing did not fully understand it after reading it once.

But it doesn't matter, I didn't understand, Wu Changqing also knew that what the other party said was right.

Because he knows a lot.

The dollar hegemony of later generations is not like this.

Although the U.S. dollar has not completely become the only standard currency, just being pegged to oil is enough for the U.S. dollar to do many things.

In later generations, people often say that when the United States has no money, it can print money and cut wool. Of course, this statement is very superficial and not so easy.

However, the United States can indeed use the hegemony of the dollar to gain a lot of benefits.

How to operate, Wu Changqing is not an economics expert, he really does not understand very much.

But it doesn't matter, isn't there such a person in front of me?

It is an absolute talent who can keenly discover the hegemonic role of currency.

Full marks, hand-picked champion.

The candidate's other subjects and even other topics can be ignored. Wu Changqing directly selected him as the undergraduate champion.

Economists like this, let alone Dahua, are extremely rare in the world.

Their thinking patterns are very different from ordinary people.

It can be said that this is a talent that cannot be learned the day after tomorrow.
