I’m The King

In the second year of Dahan, it took place in September. Before outsiders knew what the situation was, they quickly calmed down. In this turmoil, it seems that only Cao Tianci was punished. , The Military Law Division under the Supervisory Yuan was split up and became a separate military court, directly under the leadership of the Ministry of War, and Cao Tianci himself was severely reprimanded by the King of Han, and he was fined for three months behind closed doors. The level of trust, after a short period of closed-door thinking, it is only a matter of time before it reappears.

However, in October, Sihai Commerce announced its reorganization, and the huge Sihai Commerce was divided into dozens of single industry associations. Each association had the autonomy that was dreamed of before, and the original Sihai Commerce boss Cao Tiancheng was transferred to the new establishment. Minister of Commerce.

This sudden bludgeon stunned everyone and before they woke up, Jishi County Guard Wu Kai stepped down and was promoted to the political affairs hall to discuss politics, and Jishi County Guard was replaced by Xu Yong.

It wasn't until this time that everyone woke up. Whether Cao Tiancheng or Wu Kai was promoted, although they all seemed to be promoted, the real power in their hands was steadily deprived.

The fact that the Fufeng Department was hit hard during this battle shocked all officials in the Han Dynasty. The Fufeng Department was a subordinate of the Han King. Once it made a mistake, the Han King would still deal with it like a thunderbolt and lightning, ruthlessly and even more worried. Regarding them, anything that challenges the authority of the King of Han seems to be a dangerous move.

Everyone is speculating about what the Fufeng family did to make Han King Thunder angry, but the people involved were silent. The very few insiders were all the core dignitaries of Han, and everyone did not dare to ask about it, only in private. There was a lot of discussion below.

Gao Yuan naturally does not care about what other people think about this matter. In his opinion, this is just a small communication between him and Fufeng's old subordinates, and Cao Tiancheng's transfer is only because of the greater needs of the four seas business. Step forward, then reform is imperative, and Wu Kai, who has been in Jishi County too long, and is also old, is transferred back to Jicheng, just because old friends can get along with each other a lot, so as not to It's far apart, and there is a gap.

All his attention is now on the central bank and Dahan's paper currency issuance.

"Master King, banknotes are in circulation, and the biggest danger is counterfeiting, so we spend the most thought on this. Please look at the king. This is the paper we prepared for banknote issuance. This paper is all made of bamboo. Manufacturing, in terms of texture, is far better than other papers on the market, and the gentlemen of the Chemistry Department of Jicheng University have used several minerals to make synthetic liquids to rinse this paper twice, making this paper The paper surface presents a special metallic luster, and the hardness is greatly increased.” Mei Yipo kneaded the paper cut into a rectangle in his hand for a while. After unfolding it again, the paper is still relatively shiny, and it is not obvious. The combination of these two has made the possibility of forgery extremely difficult, and when we print banknotes, we will also add other anti-counterfeiting methods in it, and strive to make it possible for those who plot to mislead. ."

Gao Yuan nodded: "You have been very careful, but you must be careful about the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes. If it can be easily forged by outsiders, it will be fine if it is a small-scale one, but if it is a large-scale one. , The blow to the national economy will not be underestimated."

"Wang Shang can rest assured that there are currently no more than five companies that have the technical ability to manufacture this kind of paper in the entire Han country, and these five will become our paper suppliers. Of course, we will also strengthen the monitoring of them and the security where they are. Strength, in this respect, Zhang Yi, deputy dean of the Supervision Institute, has already begun to intervene in the early stage. As for anti-counterfeiting measures, several gentlemen from the university have signed a confidentiality agreement, and they have destroyed the formula for the secondary processing of paper. . Its technology is completely in the hands of our central bank." Mei Yipo nodded.

"Keep up with the legislation!" Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Jiaquan: "Any banknote counterfeiting should be punished severely, severely, and quickly!"

"The large council has organized a small-scale discussion, and the first draft is about to be finalized, and strive to release it before the banknotes are listed for circulation." Jiang Jiaquan replied.

"Okay, it seems that all aspects are well coordinated." Gao Yuan smiled and looked at everyone. "President Mei, how many banknotes are you going to issue this time?"

Mei Yipo looked at Wang Wudi and smiled and said: "The gold and silver reserves on Minister Wang's side are currently 10 million taels of silver. I am going to issue three times the surplus. For the first time, a total of 30 million taels of paper currency will be issued. The denomination is one hundred taels and the smallest denomination is five cents. There are ten denominations such as one hundred taels, fifty taels, ten taels, five taels, one taels, one hundred liters, fifty liters, ten liters, five liters, and one liter. "Mei Yipo turned around and took a tray from the person behind him. Inside it was a sample of ten denominations of banknotes.

Three times the surplus! Gao Yuan grinned. When these thirty million taels of silver bills flow into the market, it means that his Han Dynasty will soon become richer. Money will no longer be a problem. .

"On this matter, Mei Yipi and Wang Wudi are working closely with you two. I hope to complete this matter this year." Gao Yuan waved his hand: "I won't worry about the specific process anymore, I only look at the results."

"The ministers will not let the king down!" Wang Wudi and Mei Yipo said, patting their chests.

Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Jiaquan and smiled at Mimi: "I am looking forward to the rapid circulation of banknotes now. When our trade with Qin is fully liberalized, with banknotes, Qin people's gold and silver will be paid to us on a large scale. The big man is flowing, haha, sir, you said to a certain extent, is this more effective than war?"

"Qin people will soon discover our trick!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said: "The issuance of this paper currency plunders not only the wealth of the enemy, but also the wealth of our own people."

"As long as the big man is strong and the country's credibility will not fall, you don't have to worry that your own people will rebel because of this!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "But to let the enemy obediently submit, I am afraid that a lot of means will be used. The political affairs hall is here. This requires more cooperation with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank."

"This minister understands!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded. Currency economic war, this is also a new topic for Jiang Jiaquan, but with the establishment of the Central Bank, as banknotes are about to be issued, he also slightly caught a glimpse of this. Threshold, this is a bloodless war. Of course, it will definitely end in bloodshed. The brother who wanted to come to the Qin Kingdom, at present, can't realize how powerful the Dahan Kingdom issued banknotes and began to circulate. of.

With the current strong economic and national power of the Han Dynasty, banknotes will inevitably not only circulate in the Han Dynasty in the near future, but will also follow the footsteps of the Han merchants. The final result is that the Qin people's gold and silver will be a little bit. Little by little, it flowed to the Han's treasury, but the Qin people held Han Chinese banknotes in their hands.

After sending away Jiang Jiaquan and others, Ye Zhong and others of the Ministry of War have been waiting for Gaoyuan for a long time. However, Gao Yuan summoned Ye Zhong and the others in the Qinzheng Hall. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge sand table. Ye Zhong, Qin Lei and Liang. He was standing beside the sand table with a few staff officers.

Gao Yuan brought He Weiyuan into the hall.

"Within this year, I want Chu State to bend its knees to my big man." Gao Yuan supported the edge of the sand table with both hands. "This battle has been fought for nearly half a year. They all say that Chu people are cowardly, but this time Chu Huai Wang is very weak. It's strong, I haven't shown any intention of giving up until now."

Ye Zhong pointed to the sand table: "Wang, the reason why King Chu Huai is still very tough is because until now, we still have no way to take their Kangping City. Kangping City is our gateway to the Kingdom of Chu, but it is attacking. Up to now, Kangping City is still standing still. General Chu State has rich experience after the war, and he has been constantly deploying troops and generals. Along Kangping City, we have placed a chain defense. This line of defense is just right. It's like a snake. If you hit any point in it, he will bounce and move a few times. If you are not careful, he will open his mouth to bite you, and the only effective attack is against Kang Ping. City, but Kangping City is really too difficult to fight."

"It seems that after this defeat, it is expected that we do not have confidence in the fortified battle, and we are worried about too many soldiers casualties, so we have set up such a battle, hehe, but now this is not difficult for us. Kangping City, I must Lay down."

Ye Zhong looked at Gao Yuan, "Shang Shang, do you want to use that thing?"

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "It's time to make him move a little. In the past few months, the Yizhen Institute has produced a total of 1,000 kilograms of this stuff. This time, all of it was shipped to Meng Chong."

"A thousand kilograms?" Ye Zhong's face changed color. Last time at the Yizhen Research Institute, such a terrifying explosion occurred a little bit. In the subsequent experiments, he, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also went to observe in person. Regarding the power of this thing, it is a lingering fear.

"Yes, since you want to make a little noise, it naturally has to be earth-shattering and shocking the world." Gao Yuan laughed. "But you have to be careful during the transportation process. There will be a group of researchers in the Yizhen Institute. Follow along and protect the safety of these gadgets on the road. At the same time, they will also teach the soldiers how to use him along the way. Therefore, Ye Zhong, the soldiers escorted this time must be smarter."

There was a dazzling brilliance on Ye Zhong's face, "Wang, this time, I want to go personally. As the man's book of war, I don't want to be absent at such a historic moment."

"You love to go, you go!" Gao Yuan waved his hand disapprovingly. "This is just the most primitive application of this thing. Just look at it. In the future, this thing will shine. Because of his appearance, The war in this world will be changed because of this!" (to be continued)
