Then when the flood rolled in, they realized that they had been reckless, because the ration cards of the Xia Group, which could actually be exchanged for things now, were the hard currency, worth more than anything else.

"Hahahaha, I will pay back the money, and I will pay back the money right now!" Emperor Ursus just received the news of the tragic situation of Longmen on Sunday, and laughed out loud on the spot. This is the most happiest laugh since he ascended the throne up.

However, now the nobles and military leaders don't want money anymore, they want supplies, and they want hard currency that can buy them. However, the emperor is only willing to pay back the money and is unwilling to make any compromises. What can they do?

There is no way!Because there is no hard currency and no supplies, the army cannot be used, and it is impossible to threaten violence-after all, the soldiers are okay, but where is the luggage?Where is the logistics supply?Where is the military pay?When the army is dispatched, it is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, but now they have exchanged all the gold, and only have waste paper in their hands that is becoming worthless every day.

Now it is barely possible to maintain the loyalty of the army by paying three times the military salary, because after all, it has not fallen into waste paper, but if it continues to delay, if there is no reliable hard goods, their army will rebel—if the emperor There is another reliable price...

"What I want is the army, and what the army wants is the supplies in my hands, so why do I tolerate a group of middlemen?" "Your Majesty is wise," Werther said with a smile, "When will we exchange coins?"

"It's not in a hurry, just push them again." At the same time, Czerbonog, the Duke of Kosiche stayed in the hotel, "...Congratulations to the Grand Duke for his wonderful plan to secure the world, and he lost (se) money after losing supplies"

"..." Hei Snake crumpled the letter paper into a ball, feeling bad all over.

[PS]

I didn't want to complain, but I couldn't help it a little bit. At the beginning, some people said that this is a fantasy science and technology novel, but I didn't say anything. This is normal, because it is indeed.

Then he said that because of superluminal technology, well, this is true, after all, there is a theory of transition, but there seems to be no empirical evidence, if the nanoscale warp bubble, which is not known to be true or false, is not counted.

Then he said that the leap generally refers to the quantum leap, which can be understood with quantum theory, but the theory of relativity means it can't, so I was confused.

This statement is both wrong and right.

In the terminology of real science, the leap does generally refer to the quantum leap, that is, the process of particles leaping from one energy state to another energy state, but it has nothing to do with the speed of light. We generally use the word leap to refer to Warp in science fiction terms. .

Second, what is the use of the theory of relativity in terms of space-time and gravity?Use quantum mechanics?Wake up, quantum theory has not yet been unified, and he is short of space-time solution!

At first, I thought he understood some basic scientific concepts, but he was confused to a certain extent, so I explained to him the relationship between the inertial system and the insurmountable speed of light, as well as the actual description...

As a result, he said that I was talking about speed, what does it have to do with the movement of matter?Um?Then you say a hammer.Does not involve inertial system, does not involve matter, does not involve motion, so what is the meaning of speed, infinity is fine.

Then he denied that he had said it, and said that the limit of the speed of matter in the medium is the speed of light in a vacuum—adding the meaningless attributive of the medium, but still did not talk about the problem of the inertial system. Without discussing the inertial system, relative motion can be done casually. Superluminal speed - two beams of light are emitted relative to each other.jpg

The correct expression is: the motion speed of matter in one inertial system will not exceed the speed of light, but in different inertial systems, the sum of its distances can exceed the speed of light—for example, when I fly to A at 2/3 the speed of light, I will move it Pulling towards me at the speed of 2/3 of light, then within the time T, the distance we pass can be greater than the part that the speed of light in vacuum passes within the time T.

As for the part that this guy categorically denies~

Hehe, I’m talking about speed, and you’re talking about objects traveling faster than the speed of light. It can be said that the two are inseparable—Master, please translate!

Chapter 3 Giving Too Much

In early summer, the clear sky is so blue that it is dazzling, like a boundless and vast top-quality sapphire, transparent and crystal clear. Standing on the balcony of the top suite at the top of the hotel, which is second only to the Administration Building, the view of the entire Longmen is not For the first time, it was a very unique experience, as if being a king or a god from above, looking down at all living beings below, like watching a group of ants.

As a financial tycoon who controls several banks, he is indeed like a god to the insects below who are still rushing to buy food and waving banknotes trying to get the last bit of goods before the shops close. The traits are reflected in every detail from eating to traveling.

The city is not burning, nor is it falling into billowing smoke. This is not a war in the physical sense. However, the chaotic streets and the messy documents and obsolete receipts are telling everyone that this is also a war. An invisible war.

And as a defeated person, no matter what kind of honor and illustrious family background he enjoyed in the past, he can only become an embellishment for the winner, if there is such a winner now.

After tidying up the bow tie and clothes for the last time, and checking her hairstyle from the reflection of the glass door leading to the terrace, she pushed open the door, stepped out of the balcony, and came to the hanging terrace on the edge. In the past days, this It is a good place to drink and enjoy the scenery.

You can have a panoramic view of the vast South Longnan desert and the emerald green plains north of Longmen, the continuous Usas Mountains in the northwest, and the winding canal in the southeast. Looking down, you can see a group of people doing nothing under the transparent glass floor. The mediocre struggles in the forest of cities.

If you light a burner of incense and have a glass of high-end famous wine, it is a good place to relax and have a few drinks here. As for the money spent on it, it is just a drop in the bucket, and at this time, this is the last bit of decency left up.

Stepping up the railing of the terrace, the strong wind blows through the bamboo curtain behind him, making a rattling sound. Holding the last bottle of spirits in the counter of the suite, he drank it in one gulp, looking at the blue sky in the distance as if there was something A kind of magical charm is in the tempting blue sky, bravely took that step, trying to blend into the sky, but the gravity captured this sinful soul at the first time.

The shrill and whistling wind in my ear seems to be the mockery of gods or demons, such sinners also want to go to heaven, and the dirty black land full of insects that I thought in the past is the only destination, "Bang! "Flesh and flesh scattered like flowers, instantly staining the square in front of the hotel with scarlet.

"Another" security guard guarding the front desk staff of the hotel and preventing citizens who have turned into thugs due to the collapse of Longmen coins from entering and robbing, numbly looked at the ball of flesh and blood flowers on the ground.

"Can't you think of a quiet way to die? Add a lot of workload to us." This is the hotel of the Dagu Group, that is, Shi Huaiya's family, or more precisely, after the marriage, it is the hotel of Xiaohuo himself , as part of the dowry.

Although the headquarters office building of the Xia Group is the third tallest building in Longmen, that place is more for office supplies. When Lao Xia reviewed the design, he did not design a living environment inside. Although the office has an attached rest bedroom, But that's just a place to stay up late and work overtime.

Therefore, this hotel is equivalent to the residence when she comes to Longmen to work, especially the daily residence of the little tiger who is in charge of the Xia Group's work at the Longmen headquarters. She doesn't like buying a luxurious villa. I am tired of living in this exaggerated luxury manor. On the contrary, the hotel has a sense of freshness and life, rather than an empty and unpopular mansion.

For this reason, this hotel is one of the only safe havens in the economic storm in Longmen or Terra. Even if there is no guest, at least the salary is paid on time, and considering the transformation of Longmen currency into waste paper According to the trend, they were issued new Kazdel coins and Xia Group's ration cards.

"However, is there any point for us to put away these Longmen coins?" The waiter looked at the manager. Isn't the stuff in this pile of safes about to become waste paper?

"The above request, if you don't want to go outside and grab the leftovers on the ground with those people, don't ask." This is an extremely powerful threat. What a hell scene outside the towering walls and metal fences protecting the hotel, every staff member And the temporary workers who are lucky enough to work here are very clear.

And the eldest lady also showed the abnormal kindness that her identity and status should not show. Of course, it is also possible that this hell storm frightened her. She instinctively wanted to find more people nearby instead of being in a luxurious ghost palace. wandering.

Therefore, these staff members are allowed to take over their family members and some close relatives and live in ordinary suites on the lower floors of the hotel, and the hotel also provides meals and some simple jobs normally, but of course, there is no salary.

As for the Shi Huaiya family, they are frantically using Victorian gold pounds that have not yet become waste paper to buy Longmen coins. On the one hand, the debts raised before should now be repaid with waste paper; earn a fortune.

"PRST, fully purchase Longmen coins and Victorian gold pounds on the market, and allow the use of part of the pure gold reserves."

It is difficult for a gold standard currency to completely fall into waste paper like a credit currency. Now it is just a situation caused by panic selling. As long as the Longmen coin has not been decoupled from the red gold, and Lao Wei can still get enough red gold to deal with the run, then the Longmen coin Your credit will eventually recover little by little.

The economic crisis of the standard currency is very different from the credit era. One of them is that because it is linked to the actual precious metal, the fluctuation of its currency value has a lower limit, and it will not be completely reduced to waste paper, even in a short period of time. The value of the currency will plummet due to excessive issuance or the collapse of the reservoir, and it will not fall to nothing.

Because standard system over-issuance and credit over-issuance are two different things, simply put, under normal circumstances, one ounce of red gold corresponds to one Longmen coin, but in fact, when Lao Wei has an ounce of red gold, he considers savings, circulation and investment holdings. Ratio, if only one Longmen coin is issued, the market will definitely deflate, so he may issue 3~4 Longmen coins.

In this way, the amount of Longmen coins in circulation on the market and the amount of pure gold he reserves are maintained at a ratio of 1:1, and small-scale runs and redemptions can quickly replace Longmen coins with precious metals.

The previous deflation was due to a large amount of pure gold and source stones being thrown into the market, which means that the actual issued currency and hard currency have become 1:1 again, while the circulation and actual demand have become more than 1:3 , and keeps increasing.

Because in this state, everyone is willing to hold money, and more savings means that Lao Wei has to use one ounce of red gold to get 10 Longmen coins before he can use it. However, considering the problem of red gold flooding, the official redemption ratio will be certain degree of adjustment.

In general, even if it collapses into almost waste paper now, it is only temporary. At the very least, after this period of time, the Longmen currency will pass. As long as he can exchange red gold, even if it is 3 Longmen coins or even 5 Longmen coins to an ounce, it will set a limit for the decline of Longmen coins.

In other words, in the long run, the value of Longmen coins will never be lower than 1/5 ounce of red gold. The current state of waste paper is only temporary. It is still necessary to deposit the exchanged precious metals in the bank and turn them into Longmen coins.

With another saving, the currency value of Longmen currency will eventually return to a relatively normal state. Reputation is something that is guaranteed. Once the reputation collapses, it is worthless, rather than having at least one piece of precious metal that is at least valuable even if it shrinks.

Therefore, take advantage of this time when it falls below the bottom line, frantically sweep in the unwanted Longmen coins, and then when it automatically appreciates back due to the gold standard, you can earn at least 200%.

If the heart is a bit more vicious, when everyone has just re-established credit and currency value, because of saving, raising interest rates, increasing red gold reserves, locking money and other methods to make Longmen coin become 1 ounce red gold currency value or even slightly exceeded, then Throwing everything in one fell swoop, and shorting it again, the profit can go straight to more than 1000%, which is still an approach without leverage.

What's interesting is that because the value of precious metals is anchored there, this game of repeated shocks can be played many times until everyone gets used to it a little bit, builds a new position, and subsides slowly - and in this kind of shock, as long as you don't It is not difficult to capsize, get in with a dollar, and come out as a billionaire.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t be overwhelmed by the waves you set off. In this kind of shock, the reputation and wealth accumulated by Longmen over the past 100 years will be vomited out by relying on this trade center in the past.

Even spread to other countries, the savings and wealth of countless rich and noble families, countless past tycoons and celebrities, including countless ordinary people will all evaporate, as if they never existed.

"Your Excellency Duke Kosich, do you still want the money now? Rhodes Island will pay you back right away."

"..."

"Repay the money with precious metals. You must be troubled by the waste paper on hand. This opportunity is rare." Kelsey said with a smile. If he wanted money, he would give him waste paper. Get the Longmen coins in it.

Ursus wants to exchange currency, but Old Wei probably doesn't have the guts to wait for the currency fluctuations to stop. Fortunately, Old Wei has the endorsement of the Dayan royal family behind him. As a country with a large trade deficit, Dayan has a large amount of red gold every year. Inflowing into the country, the reserves are extremely rich. In a sense, this is also a kind of market endorsement and confidence.

Dayan's trade throughput and output value are the biggest guarantors for the value of Longmen currency, but Ursas's reputation comes from military strength, and when money becomes waste paper, the nobles and warlords The army is paper.

It’s just that the Ursas currency has become waste paper, and they can still scrape together a sum of foreign currency to pay the appropriation fee. Pay mutiny is not bad.

"..." Black Snake always feels, well, I don't think that there must be a conspiracy between the old cat and her Rhodes Island, but the other party is telling the truth, and the money in his hand has become waste paper Well, if Rhodes Island is lenient and repays you with precious metals at a discount, then he can still move around a bit. If Rhodes Island is determined to return your waste paper, or even refuse to give you the waste paper, he has nothing to do.

Although with the strength of Black Snake, he is not afraid of his subordinates mutiny and rebellion, but he can't kill all his subordinates, and then sit alone in the ruins and rule a pile of corpses, right?

"What do you want?" Black Snake was sure and affirmed that the other party had already made a lot of money in this transaction, but even so, he still had to humbly give the other party more benefits in order to conclude the deal.

"A city, Cherbonog"

"You have such a big appetite!"

"That's right, now Rhodes Island is the savior of this land. Do you choose salvation or perish?"

"Your eloquence is much sharper than your performance on the battlefield, Sir Kelsey." Black Snake looked aggrieved, "Okay, I agree, but the ratio of exchange"

"What good things are you thinking about? Of course it is the current price. Don't get me wrong. Even at this price, I asked Beatrix to announce the exchange rate. Some nobles went bankrupt, even the Sir from Cherbonog."

Why give Black Snake this chance, because he is the lord of that nobleman, if he reassigns it, it will be much more convenient to argue with the Ursus government in the future.

Neither the doctor nor Kelsey thought of really separating a city from Ursus, they just took advantage of this good opportunity and borrowed it temporarily.

Including not playing with financial turmoil and continuing to make money is also Rhodes Island's preparation for the next world trend. Although it seems that the flood is getting longer and higher now, and it may subside in the future, some guys with a long-term vision are also aware of this business opportunity.

However, the doctor and the others took a longer-term view. This was just the last short period of peace before the war. The flood peak gradually subsided, and the currency value recovered partly due to the standard system, as if everything had returned to the state before the initial start.

However, this is like the flashback of a seriously ill patient. The evaporated wealth will never come back. Countless nobles and wealthy families have been knocked down. The status of citizens is difficult to continue to improve as the urbanization process stops abruptly. And unemployed workers have completely exhausted their last savings in the previous storm.

In other words, every country is sitting on a ignited powder keg, then a large-scale revolution will break out, and workers and peasants will join forces to bury the nobles and capitalists. I don’t know if a new world can be created, but the old world can definitely be buried. look.

Either find a way to deal with these excess population, commonly known as transferring conflicts to the outside world, consume these civilian officers and military units that have shown signs of getting out of control as soon as possible, and also plunder foreign wealth to speed up their own economic recovery.

Not only that, this wave with the collapse of Longmen currency as the peak also destroyed the insurmountable gap between the nobles and the common people in the past. For the common people with little spare money, the lethality of the financial turmoil caused by the currency is not as good as that brought by the previous deflation. Great Depression and unemployment.

However, it has a huge impact on the nobles. A large amount of land is sold cheaply to pay off debts, and a large number of families are instantly impoverished. The noble blood and so-called personal strength are meaningless in the face of this crisis—— No matter how hard you fight, you can't get money or things to pay off your debts.

If you want to play Meyer Economics as Lao Lai by force, you have to have a premise, that is, creditors can't afford to buy more powerful thugs, and in the current tragic situation, creditors who still have hard currency in their hands can obviously buy them with money. Go to Terra's top masters to work as thugs to collect debts. After all, masters also have to eat, drink and spend money.

"...We are soldiers of the Great Yan Empire, not thugs. Please go back, both of you!" Lao Shi, who was promoted again, took a teacup to see off the guests. It took some time for the tragedy of Longmen to reach Dayan, but , Dayan's economic status is actually more conservative, and the impact is not very big.

At least the wealthy and aristocratic families have little impact. There are several hundred catties of gourds and silver eggs buried in the yard of their homes. At worst, they can mint precious metal coins, and the people of Dayan have good savings habits. In the state of paper transformation, each family still has some precious metals and soft goods stored to some extent.

And objectively speaking, Dayan itself has been suffering from a money shortage. In addition to the official currency, they also use other messy things as money, such as salt quotations, iron coupons (certificates for purchasing large quantities of steel, salt iron, etc.) It is government-run), and even those high-quality fabrics and food bills are used as money.

This is also the reason why foreign businessmen seldom do business with Dayan directly, but choose Longmen and Longmen coins, because of such a complicated currency system, it is hard to tell whether they have made a profit or lost money after doing business.

And this also allowed Dayan to last long enough in this crisis. After all, the official currency has fallen into waste paper, which means that the bills that can indeed be exchanged for the skyrocketing salt and grain are soaring. It is a big deal for everyone. It is also possible to use those as money.

Although Longmen coins are on the gold standard, Dayan itself is a multi-standard system. Salt, iron and grain can be used as anchors, and gold and silver are also common precious metal anchors. After all, it is difficult to develop business with such a variety of currencies and messy standard hard currency, and it also objectively enhances one's ability to resist beatings in response to this crisis.

"Tsk..." The lobbyist took out a new stack of paper from his bag and put it on the table, with the anti-counterfeit seal of Kazdel's bulk delivery coupon printed on it, "In this precarious time, what's better than pinching it?" How about more peace of mind with food and supplies in hand?"

"This statement makes sense, hold on, let's think about it again" Lao Shi stopped the Kazdel lobbyist who was about to leave, and the latter rolled his eyes, and took out a stack of origin stone exchange coupons, "The Great Flame Origin Stone The price of fuel has risen quite a lot, and the operation of such a large property as the admiral is not easy..."

"This... I have to think about it. Where did the people come and serve the tea? The tea is cold."

"What else is the admiral thinking about? What's more, it's only natural to pay off debts, and a child spends money in the downtown area. Even if the admiral doesn't do our business, he has to think about his own people!" The last stack of cards was placed on the table, Xia Shi The group's agricultural product ration supply card.

"Hold on, honored guest! Regarding this matter, we need to discuss the details carefully!" I wanted to refuse at first, but they gave too much!

Chapter 4 Title Hunt Goes

In this financial flood, the damages of Dayan and Kazdel were quite slight. Great Yan was resistant due to its own unique economic status, while Kazdel was built from the very beginning. The towering breakwater, now watching the tragic situation outside the city from the safety of the city wall.

In order to prevent creditors from choosing the way of Meyer economics, the doctor reached some kind of private agreement with the Dayan Fleet in Yuegang. After all, they have little power in Dayan, and it is a bit difficult to get debt.

But Boss Shi is different. The famous Longnan hooligan has long been notorious in the mouths of rich men and gentry.

To put it bluntly, it means that the large quantities of goods ordered in Dayan were calculated and ordered with the appreciated Longmen currency, and now they are paid for in Longmen currency like waste paper. Compensation for breach of contract, they may also rely on some official power to refuse compensation.
