[Due to government needs, from now on, all registered citizens of the Northwest Republic must go to the sub-district office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to register their surnames. If you do not have a surname, you can design your own registration.]
[Note: In order to avoid duplication, for those who set their own surnames, there will be no more than 200 families with each surname. They will be arranged in order of registration time, first come first served. After the first batch of registrations, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will release the number of registered families for each surname. If there are no families that can successfully register, the system can be redesigned. Even the second and third designs...]
[Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Northwest Republic, today.]
This notice was plastered all over the streets of towns in the Northwest Republic, and loud-sounding propagandists temporarily hired by the Ministry of Civil Affairs were shouting on the streets to promote this policy. This is also one of the characteristics of the Northwest Republic. Every time a new policy is released, it will There is a group of propagandists who promote and explain.
Of course it costs some money to hire these propagandists. But compared with the improvement in governance efficiency, this money is nothing.
What's more, the Northwest Republic lacks resources and talents, but it does not lack money.
Haven't you seen the venue of the fifth world's best martial arts competition that is being prepared? Just the renovation of the venue alone would cost enough to hire publicists several times.
Not to mention, every World No. 1 martial arts competition will give out a large amount of bonuses. Not to mention the real No. 1 in the world, even the top eight in the youth group will receive an astonishing amount of bonuses.
The top leaders of the Northwest Republic have persuaded Sui Xiong more than once not to hold the world's largest martial arts tournament, which wastes people and money, or even if they do, the frequency should be reduced. They feel that once in ten years is too frequent, and once in twenty years is too high.
In response, Sui Xiong just smiled.
What is money? Money is not gold, silver and jewelry, but currency in circulation.
He didn't do well in the politics class, but "the nature of money" was the focus of the freshman politics class. The teacher talked about it over and over again, and he would probably get it in every exam. No matter how poorly he learns, he still has some impression.
The essence of currency is a commodity used to assist circulation. There is also a special term called "general equivalent". On Earth, this thing has developed to book data guaranteed by the country’s credit. To put it bluntly, it uses the country’s credit as a commodity—that’s why their political teachers praised “Bitcoin” and the like that many IT people highly praised. Non-credit currencies are scoffed at, and there are even mocking sayings such as "If I carry a gun and rob a certain Bitcoin trading platform, can they use electronic data to arrest me?"
In this world, money is far from developing to the credit stage. It is still in the era of being made of portable and expensive things such as gold, silver and gems. Although the currency values of various countries are not consistent, what users recognize is the currency itself, not the country behind the currency.
As for credit currency, even the Goddess of Wealth does not dare to do so. So far, her church can only launch transfer services based on customers' existing deposits.
In other words, if a gold coin is stored in a warehouse, it means that this gold coin is really missing from the market, and no country can replace it by printing money or the like.
If there are too many coins stored in the warehouse, there will be too few coins on the market. This will of course affect market circulation. The most direct impact is that things will fall in price and coins will rise in price.
After all, gold, silver and gems are themselves commodities, and their prices will rise due to scarcity. And unlike on earth, there are many places in this world where these things are consumed - for example, magicians make golems or arrange magic circles, which often consume kilograms of gold and several times or even dozens of times at a time. times the amount of silver, and many precious gems.
As a result, there will be fewer and fewer coins on the market, which will definitely cause big troubles!
Sui Xiong has always been a little worried about this matter. Over the years, the Northwest Republic has been making money every day due to its developed business and entertainment industries. Although large quantities of production materials were purchased at the same time, most of these production materials were turned into food, drinks, weapons, armor, and even luxury goods, and then turned into money again.
As a result, there were more and more gold coins in the vault. They were no longer "stacked like mountains", but piled up into small mountains. Frost and Hail, who were happy to see the piles of gold coins before, are now even numb.
They are probably the two happiest rock dragons in the world, maybe even the happiest dragons. Other dragons have to take risks in order to earn enough wealth, but as long as they help Sui Xiong guard the treasury, they can enjoy a happy life of rolling around on gold coins and gems at will. Other dragons only have a pile of gold coins in their lairs, but their treasury contains gold coins... a mountain of gold and a sea of gold.
About two-thirds of these gold coins are Sui Xiong's personal property—really personal property, because almost all of the most profitable businesses in the Northwest Republic were built with his personal investment and are completely sole proprietorships. Even if he later divided some shares, the majority would still be in his own hands.
More importantly, those who have been allocated shares - such as the senior officials of the Republic - they have to spend money, and often spend a lot of money, but Sui Xiong has almost no expenses. For him, even a copper coin is worth it. Can't spend it.
He has no expenses at all.
In the past, he sometimes had a clone, transformed into a mortal, wandered around the world, and often spent a lot of money when he was happy. In recent years, he hasn't even done this kind of thing, and he has no place to spend money.
Seeing the wealth in the vault increasing day by day, Sui Xiong felt that the world's financial order was crumbling.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to spend his money.
It's best to spend it on places that will quickly enter circulation, such as paying money, paying money, and paying money...
However, money should not be distributed randomly. Sui Xiong proposed to distribute dozens of gold coins to every adult citizen of the Northwest Republic every year, but it was jointly rejected by the country's top officials. Their reason is that distributing money randomly will affect the normal production and life of the country.
Sui Xiong really didn't understand why distributing money would affect the country's production and life, but everyone said so, so it probably was true.
So he had to worry about more and more money.
The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament is already the best way he has ever thought of spending money. The prizes come second. Every time we hold this grand event, we have to spend a lot of money to purchase materials and pay for labor. This is the bulk of the money.
Unfortunately, the money spent on a conference once every ten years is still too little...
While he was lavishly spending money, Sui Xiong was still muttering secretly: "None of you agree with me sending money. What if I don't find another way to send the money back to the market? What will happen when the world financial order goes wrong in the future..."
