The speaker's voice did not fluctuate much when faced with Old John's question.
Comforted old John,
"John, you also know our situation. Sometimes, we need to compromise. You have detained so many merchant ships. The people are very dissatisfied. I am also under great pressure. I need to give everyone an explanation."
"I know that the Minister of People's Livelihood is your person, but sometimes when we are in our position, we still have to make sacrifices."
Old John's teeth couldn't help but chatter.
"Is it because the people are dissatisfied? I think it's because the nobles who are lying on their backs are dissatisfied? I have detained so many merchant ships. Others don't know why. Don't you still know?"
"Right now, we are just a big furnace and short of supplies! Once the people can't get the necessities, they will face a complete collapse. Can't you see it?"
Old John said angrily.
Sometimes, he really envied Nie Li, who had the courage to break the casserole!
You only need to study some national economy and people's livelihood every day. How can you be like me and have to argue with all parties?
Even being restrained by them!
The Speaker sighed: "John, we are old friends, let it go! Too many people's interests are involved this time, and I have no choice."
"You are capable. I don't want to hear about someone impeaching you in the parliament in half a month!"
What he said was serious and thoughtful.
Old John smiled sadly.
"What impeachment, are you threatening me?"
The other end didn't speak.
Old John laughed and hung up the phone.
Where has the power of that empire on which the sun never set gone?
To actually threaten someone who serves the country and the people like this?
He locked himself in the room and didn't go out for a long time. After a long time, the order came from the Prime Minister's office.
"Seize the merchant ship and let it go!"
At the same time, Old John also issued an order.
"Open war preparation warehouses, stabilize prices, and stabilize the people!"
"Transfer supplies from all over the country to help the country!"
Once the war readiness warehouse is opened, it means that for at least one year, Gentleman's country will no longer have the ability to send troops to other countries.
War is not a treat, it requires planning and logistics.
There is no war preparation warehouse, and the country is still in such chaos, who can work for you?
The families in the country are hungry. Can those soldiers charge with confidence?
impossible.
The nobles cannot be offended, and the people cannot be offended even more.
We can only temporarily open the combat readiness warehouse to stabilize it.
After Old John's order was given, there was a burst of cheers.
According to incomplete statistics, the crazy number of ships pouring out of ports in various places accounts for seven-tenths of the country's ships.
And took away more than 60% of the country's basic supplies.
All these merchant ships and supplies poured into China.
Entered the East.
Replaced with the strongest silver dollar now.
Nie Li is spending a lot of money on shopping around the world!
All countries in the world marveled at Nie Li's financial resources.
Nie Li's office. Nie Li has returned to the capital. Bai Jie summarized the situation in various places and came to Nie Li's office to report.
Nie Li listened to the rapid influx of various supplies into the country, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Now, have you made up for the losses caused by the previous floods?"
Bai Jie took a look at the data and nodded: "It's almost there, but there's still a lot left in the supplies for post-disaster reconstruction."
"The most important thing is that we have no money recently!"
Nie Li was stunned for a moment: "No money?"
Bai Jie nodded heavily: "Mr. Nie, look, these are the amount of silver dollars we have paid to purchase various supplies during this period!"
Nie Li waved his hand and remained aside.
"No need to look, go call the people from the Ministry of Commerce and the bank!"
This bank is naturally not an ordinary bank, but a bank that functions as a "central bank".
Not long after, more than ten people gathered in Nie Li's small conference room.
Nie Li sat on the large sofa.
"Everyone, I just got the news that we have no money, but there are still a lot of supplies on the road. Now, what should we do? Can anyone give me a solution?"
Nie Li smiled slightly. He already had a plan in mind and was just asking.
The people at the bank were almost crying. Crying: "Mr. Nie, we really have no money. The cents currently circulating on the market cannot be touched. All currencies above one yuan have been paid out recently! Please don't embarrass us." ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ. οrG
The people at the bank thought that Nie Li was forcing them to find a way and complained first.
Nie Li smiled: "No one is forcing you. I also know that you have no money, but you have to find a way to solve the problem!"
"Department of Commerce, please share your ideas!"
People in the commercial department also had headaches when they heard his name being called.
It's really enjoyable to spend a lot of money buying and buying, but it's also quite painful after you finish buying.
Thinking about the supplies still floating on the sea, I feel both wanting and sad at the same time.
"Mr. Nie, we don't have any good options. Why don't we send troops to rob it directly?"
Got a bad idea.
Nie Li looked at him angrily: "You might as well go to war with the whole world!"
"Why the hell don't you join the Army Department?"
The man chuckled.
Obviously, he also knew how outrageous this proposal was, but there was nothing he could do about it.
You can only talk nonsense, Mr. Nie will definitely not do this anyway!
Nie Li looked at a group of subordinates and sighed: "You guys, your thinking is so restricted, why don't you know how to adapt?"
"There's no money. Seal, tell me to go down and turn on all the power and let the Mint mint coins with all its strength!"
With the supply of silver from Fuso Region, there is really no shortage of silver in the country.
Silver coins can naturally be minted.
But when the people at the bank heard Nie Li's words, they felt numb.
"Mr. Nie, you don't just print coins casually. You have to consider various domestic conditions and the economic situation. Once too many coins are printed, our good economic situation will collapse!"
Nie Li couldn't wait to knock this pig's brain twice.
Isn't what you said clear enough?
These people are too honest.
"Then let me ask you, why did I promote the silver dollar in the first place?"
Everyone said without thinking: "Let the silver dollar go to the world, and let the world use our silver dollar to make settlements."
"Then why do I control the Eastern Column and oil and so on?"
This group of people said without thinking: "Let the currency have a backing and let all countries believe that our silver dollar is strong!"
Only then did Nie Li smile.
"Isn't that enough? Since currency has a backing and reputation, they still have to use our silver dollars to settle, so what's the point of printing some money?"
"The silver dollars accumulated by various countries alone are enough for us to alleviate this crisis!"
“So, printing money, is there a problem?”
What Nie Li said is very confusing!
However, the people sitting here are all smart people. They just didn't think of such a "harmful" idea before. After all, five thousand years of cultural heritage speak of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust.
Someone said naa-naa: "Well, Mr. Nie, after we print money, won't we let the whole world follow us to pay off our debts?"
