Chapter 282 Paper money? Tickets in parallel! (Second update!) Hou Xi was not a fool, so he could naturally tell what these words meant. He looked at Cun Yunsheng with a guessing look and asked tentatively. "General Cun, you mean to support us in the name of Lan Fang..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng. "Mr. Hou, you said this yourself, I didn't." How could Cun Yunsheng say this if it were true? "I understand." Hou Xifan immediately showed a look that said, "I understand." This left Cun Yunsheng speechless for a while, you know a hammer. I'm not afraid of the British army. But once it captures Malaysia and the Lion City, it will cause a chain reaction.
Because this is the only way for the little devil. If this is blocked. Don't talk about sending troops to Tianzhu, little devil. I am afraid that the more than 200,000 Japanese troops who have just arrived in Tianzhu will immediately turn around and fight with him. Because if they don't fight hard, the Japanese troops trapped in Tianzhu will die. How to occupy such a large territory without reinforcements? As for supplies. Don’t panic! At worst, just eat grass! "Let the Malaysian guerrillas use Lan Fang's name, and then send people to find Stilwell. You must keep a low profile. The purpose is to make Steven admit your existence." "If he doesn't nod, the British army will investigate. Then you will not only face the Japanese army, but also the United States and Britain. If you think you can handle it, you can give it a try." Cun Yunsheng knew Stilwell's The bottom line, so you can jump horizontally repeatedly. As long as he breaks through the bottom line, it's almost done without saying he's finished. Therefore, when your own strength is not enough, you will never touch Stilwell's bottom line. "Yes, General Cun, we understand." Hou Xifan responded quickly. "When the time comes, I will send some officers there to help you train the guerrillas. When the time is right, I will send troops south." "Not yet. The Lion City is the lifeblood of the Japanese army. If we move there, the Japanese army will definitely fight for us. Our current strength is still too weak." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and decided to make it clear to him. Because after getting to know and get along with each other during this period, I found that the other party is quite stable, and the personal connections of the other party are very strong. "Yes, I understand." Hu Xi patted his chest to show his understanding. In fact, he also hopes that the Sichuan Army can go south immediately, because this is indeed unrealistic.
But having the other party's commitment is enough. Moreover, the other party also promised to send a number of officers and soldiers, which means that their lives will be easier in the future. "General Cun, this is a token of appreciation from us Chinese in Malaysia, please accept it." At this time, Hou Xifan took out a check with the four characters of HSBC on it, which made Cun Yunsheng stunned. When one hundred thousand pounds is clearly seen. Cun Yunsheng's eyelids twitched. The Chinese families in Malaysia are really rich. "Okay, I'll take the money." Cun Yunsheng nodded, took the check, and then thought of something. At this time, it seems that the British pounds are basically counterfeit banknotes. wrong! They are all counterfeit banknotes of small denominations, and they are printed more like real banknotes than real ones. So much so that the British Empire just pretended to be dumbfounded and expressed ignorance. As a result, prices soared and the pound depreciated. What if I get this technology myself? Aren’t you short of money to spend? But this technique is a bit difficult. And only the German army has them. Let the German army be transferred to yourself? Probably unlikely. Send him a batch of counterfeit banknotes directly? Maybe try it. Cun Yunsheng kept this matter in mind. "General Cun, if you have any use for me, please feel free to speak. We Malaysian Chinese always care about our motherland." At this time, Hou Xifan spoke again. "Okay, if necessary..." Cun Yunsheng was about to say a polite word, but suddenly he remembered that he might really need his help. "Mr. Hou, do you know if there is anyone suitable to handle internal affairs? Look at my troops, they are all rough guys. They handle some matters related to people's livelihood very roughly." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and felt Immigration should be left to others. There are so many things to do, and it is impossible to finish them all even if you are exhausted. It would be a fool to take over everything. Hearing this, Hou Xi was stunned, hesitated, and then gritted his teeth and said. "General Cun, what do you think of me?"
Self-recommendation? Cun Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized that the other party was really suitable. Apart from anything else, this guy's best friend is a big shot and is a well-known figure throughout Nanyang. It can be said that he is a character who speaks the truth. With Hou Xifan, you can gain that person's friendship. And what he can get will be more. Even those technical talents who are troubled by themselves will be easily solved. "That's great. With Mr. Hou joining us, it will be really brilliant." Cun Yunsheng could hardly hold back the smile on his face. No matter how you say it, Hou Xifan's joining definitely does more good than harm. He always follows one thing, that is, he should make more friends and make fewer enemies. Then everything will go smoothly. Hou Xifan didn't expect that Cun Yunsheng would value him so much, which made him feel a little moved in his heart. When he was in Kunming, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother for the sake of the hundreds of overseas Chinese mechanics. What was the result? They are not birds at all. In the end, there was no other way. With the attitude of giving it a try, I asked the Sichuan Army Corps to avoid the fate of the Nanqiao Machinery Workers who starved to death. Thinking of this, Hou Xifan took a deep breath, and then made his first suggestion after joining the Sichuan Army. "General Cun..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng. "You can call me Yunsheng, but General Cun will sound awkward." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "Then I'd better call you Sir Cun." Hou Xi showed a smile, but then said seriously. "Sir Cun, I found that there is a big problem with the finances of the Sichuan Army." "What's the problem?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned. Monk Zhang Er was confused and didn't quite understand what he meant. "According to my understanding, the current military salary of the Sichuan Army is provided by the US military, but the number of soldiers does not match the actual salary." Hou Xifan said seriously. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to observe so carefully. As for how he knew, it probably had something to do with An Jia. Because the US military issues . dollars, but for the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army, the ocean is more real. But Cun Yunsheng didn't have that many oceans in his hands, so he had to ask Anjia to find a way to exchange them for oceans. Considering Hou Xifan's status, it is normal for the two parties to have contact. "What solution do you have?" Cun Yunsheng pondered for a while and felt that professional problems should be solved by professionals.
Upon hearing this, Hou Xifan did not answer immediately, but asked. "Sir Cun, are you still prepared to accept those hungry people?" "Yes, I do have this idea. It is such a waste to have so many high-quality fertile fields empty." Cun Yunsheng did not refute. Since he decided to accept the other party, he should not hide it from the other party. "If the number of hungry people is large, the finances of the Yichuan Army will definitely not be able to support it. Even if it is just to divide the fields, purchasing farm tools and so on will require money." Hou Xifan expressed his worries. Cun Yunsheng remained silent about this, because everything the other party said was true. During this time, he was also having a headache on how to solve this problem. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be interested in fake British pounds. "I suggest that we don't need to send them overseas anymore and just use banknotes instead. This saves forging time and also facilitates circulation." Hou Xifan continued. "Huh? Banknotes? Isn't this going to turn into tissue paper for wiping your **** again?" Meng Fanxiao spoke up at the right time to express his worries. He didn't like those paper bills at all. If this changes from ocean to paper money, many people may not be able to accept it. "No, these paper notes can still be exchanged for oceans, but paper notes are still the main currency in circulation." Hu Xifan shook his head and said. "Silver standard?" Cun Yunsheng was not a fool who didn't understand anything, so he naturally understood the meaning of Hou Xi's irony. If it is a silver standard, it may not be a problem in the short term. But as time goes by, big problems may arise. "Mr. Hou, don't forget the "Silver Act" that was promulgated just a few years ago. The risk of using the silver standard is still too great for us. The life and death of others can easily be pinched in the hands of others." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. He rejected his proposal outright. Just kidding, I just suffered a loss, how could I continue to suffer this loss again? Although the greatest lesson for mankind is that lessons are never learned. But he definitely kept this profound lesson in mind. Hou Xifan was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party knew about this bill. The key point is that when this bill was enacted, the other party should only be in his teens. How can a teenager know this? "Then the only thing left is the gold standard." Hou Xifan's starting point was to consider the Sichuan Army. After all, the damage caused by the gold standard would be greater. "Well, it must be guaranteed with gold. This is our credit." Cun Yunsheng nodded. In fact, after the Sichuan Legion's credit gets better and better, it can be fully credit guaranteed, and it won't need so much gold by then. Meng Fan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the gold guarantee. After all, now that the war has reached this point, the price of gold in exchange for oceans is rising steadily. "Wouldn't Dayang be completely cancelled?" At this time, Lin Yi, who was about to report on the immigration work, walked in and asked a little unkindly.
"Sir, I think the implementation of banknotes should wait a little longer?" "Why?" Cun Yunsheng asked without holding Lin Yi responsible for the trespassing. "Sir, I know that the implementation of paper currency is indeed a trend, and it is also conducive to economic development. Now there are several currencies coexisting in Indochina, which really affects economic development." Lin Yi explained. The main currencies in Indochina are the pound sterling, the Thai dollar, and the franc. As well as the current US dollar, ocean, and even Japanese yen, etc. "But it is not easy to implement paper money. Once paper money cannot be exchanged for gold, it will be a pile of waste paper. More importantly, we don't have that much gold now." Lin Yi took a deep breath and said. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng probably understood what Lin Yi meant. I also have the same worry as Meng Fanglia, that is, what should I do if the banknotes cannot be exchanged? And paper currency will continue to depreciate. For example, they used to issue banknotes that could be used to buy land and other things. Later it was difficult to even eat a full meal. It is precisely in this situation that Lin Yi has such worries. It can be said that this group of people in the cannon fodder regiment were the worst trapped. The military pay before the war has not changed until now, but because of the war, commodity prices have increased several times. The key is that the military pay is still in arrears. Even if they are issued, they are only some banknotes, which are not recognized at all. In many places, they only receive oceans of cash. Gold and silver have inherent monetary properties, and people only recognize this. "What you said is true, but is the word "Cun Yunsheng" worth a hundred thousand oceans?" "From the beginning of the Zenda shelter to now? How many of the words I Cun Yunsheng said have not been fulfilled?" Cun Yunsheng sneered. "Everything has been redeemed, but..." Lin Yi lowered his head and said. "Has the Sichuan Army been defeated once from the beginning to now?" "No." Lin Yi replied honestly. "I promised you that I would lead you to victory one after another. Have you done it?" "Yes..." Lin Yi didn't dare to look up. Yes, the Sichuan Legion has never been defeated from the first battle to the present. No matter how strong the enemy is, they can always defeat the opponent. Those immigrants traveled across mountains and rivers to come here precisely because they saw that the Sichuan Army Corps could give them a sense of security. If it cannot provide a sense of security, no matter how good it is, they will not dare to come. "Sir, I understand what you mean. I am mainly worried that others will not understand. After all, this is a time of war, and gold and silver are the hard currencies." Lin Yi said bravely. "I know everything you said, and I didn't say not to exchange for gold and silver. These can be exchanged normally." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. Lin Yi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could exchange for gold and silver at any time. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to exchange freely for gold and silver. That would be his real worry.
Hou Xifan did not expect that his first suggestion when he first joined the Sichuan Army would be opposed by so many people. In fact, it was his fault for not considering the emotions of those in the cannon fodder regiment being tricked by paper money. After all, they have always used pounds and are already used to banknotes. I don't quite understand their concerns. Now that he heard Cun Yunsheng's explanation, he probably understood that he had not actually considered the personal emotions of the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army Corps. This was indeed his mistake. "Sir Cun, it was my fault." Hou Xifan was about to say something when he was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng. "You thought very well, but I thought poorly. In addition to promoting currency, there are also tickets. All materials need to be purchased with tickets." Tickets are a good thing. They can completely prevent foreign powers from using gold and silver to attack the fragile economic system of the Sichuan Army. After all, supplies can only be purchased with tickets, otherwise they are not allowed to be purchased. This is double insurance. As long as you get through the vulnerable period, follow-up can be cancelled. It feels so good to cross the river by touching the rabbit. At least that's what Cun Yunsheng thought at this moment.
