I’m The King Chapter 1099: :East and West (Ninety-two)

A riot that happened in September in the second year of the Han Dynasty quickly calmed down before outsiders could figure out what was going on. In this turmoil, it seems that only the Cao Tianci was alone, and the Military Judiciary Division under the Supervisory Yuan was separated and became a separate military court, which was directly under the leadership of the Ministry of War. After Cao Tianci himself was severely reprimanded by the King of Han, he was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for three months. It is only a matter of time before Cao Tianci's level of trust recovers after a short period of contemplation behind closed doors.

However, in October, Four Seas Commerce announced its reorganization. The huge Four Seas Commerce was divided into dozens of single industry associations. For the newly established Minister of Commerce.

When this sudden blow made everyone feel bored, before they woke up, Wu Kai, the prefect of Jishi County, resigned, and was transferred to the Zhengshitang to discuss the affairs, and the prefect of Jishi County was replaced by Xu Yong.

It wasn't until this time that everyone came to their senses. Whether it was Cao Tiancheng or Wu Kai, although they seemed to have been promoted, the real power in their hands had been taken away.

The fact that the Fufeng faction suffered a heavy blow during this battle made all the officials in the Han Dynasty terrified. , Let’s talk about them even more. Anything that challenges the authority of the King of Han seems to be a dangerous move.

Everyone is speculating on what the Fufeng clan did to make the King of Han furious, but those involved remained silent. The very few insiders were all the core dignitaries of the Han Kingdom, and no one dared to ask about it. There was a lot of discussion in private.

Gao Yuan naturally would not pay attention to 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 business of the world. It is necessary to move forward with greater strides, so reform is imperative, and Wu Kai has been in Jishi County for too long, and he is also old, so he was transferred back to Jicheng, so that old friends can get along more , so as not to be far apart and create a rift.

All his attention is now on the central bank and the issuance of Dahan's banknotes.

"Your Majesty, the biggest danger in the circulation of banknotes is counterfeiting, so we spend the most time on this. Please look, Your Majesty, this is the paper we prepared for the issuance of banknotes. All of this paper is made of Made from bamboo, its texture is far superior to other papers on the market, and the students from the Department of Chemistry at Jicheng Comprehensive University used several minerals to make a synthetic liquid to rinse the paper for the second time , so that the surface of this paper presents a special metallic luster, and the hardness is greatly increased." Mei Yipo kneaded the paper that had been cut into a rectangle for a while, and after unfolding it again, the paper was still relatively shiny. There are no obvious wrinkles. The combination of the two has made the possibility of counterfeiting extremely difficult, and when we print banknotes, we will add other anti-counterfeiting means inside, and strive to prevent those who plan to do wrong. You can take advantage of the gap."

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

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are currently no more than five companies in the entire Dahan Kingdom that have the technical ability to manufacture this kind of paper, and these five companies will become our paper suppliers. Where is the security force? On the one hand, Vice President Zhang Yi of the Overwatch Council has already started to intervene in the early stage. As for the anti-counterfeiting means, several gentlemen from comprehensive universities have signed a confidentiality agreement. Regarding the formula for secondary processing paper They have been destroyed. Their technology is completely in the hands of our central bank." Mei Yipo nodded.

"We must keep up with the legislation!" Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Jiaquan: "Anyone who forges banknotes will be punished severely, severely, and quickly!"

"The Great Council has organized a small-scale discussion, and the first draft is about to be finalized, and we will try to publish it before the banknotes are put into circulation." Jiang Jiaquan replied.

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

Mei Yipo looked at Wang Wudi and said with a smile: "Minister Wang's gold and silver reserves are currently 10 million taels of silver, and I plan to issue three times the surplus. For the first time, a total of 30 million taels of market value will be issued. Banknotes, the largest denomination is one hundred taels, the smallest denomination is five Wen, divided into one hundred taels, fifty taels, ten taels, five taels, one tael, one hundred taels, fifty taels, ten taels, five taels, one taels, etc. different denominations." Mei Yipo turned around and took a tray from someone behind him, which contained ten sample banknotes of different denominations.

Three times the surplus! Gao Yuan grinned, when the 30 million taels of silver banknotes flowed into the market, it meant that his Han Dynasty would become rich immediately. Money, will not Another problem.

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

"I will never let the king down!" Wang Wudi and Mei Yipo patted their chests and said.

Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Jiaquan, smiled and said: "I am very much looking forward to the rapid circulation of banknotes. When our trade with Qin is fully liberalized, with the help of banknotes, Qin people's gold and silver will be sold on a large scale. It flows to us big men, haha, sir, do you think it is more effective than war to a certain extent?"

"The Qin people will soon discover our trick!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "The issuance of this banknote will not only plunder the wealth of the enemy, but also the wealth of our own people."

"As long as the Han is strong and the country's reputation is strong, we don't have to worry about our own people rebelling because of this!" The Zhengshitang should cooperate more with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank in this regard.”

"This subject understands!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded. Currency and economic war is also a new topic for Jiang Jiaquan, but with the establishment of the central bank and the imminent issuance of banknotes, he also has a little glimpse of it The threshold is that this is a bloodless war. Of course, it will definitely end in bloodshed. I think his brother in Qin State, now, is absolutely unaware of the beginning of the issuance of banknotes by the Han Kingdom. The circulation is amazing.

With the current strong economy and national strength of the Han Dynasty, paper money will not only circulate in the territory of the Han Dynasty in the near future, but also spread along the footsteps of the merchants of the Han Dynasty. Little by little, it will flow to the treasury of the big Han, but the Qin people hold Han paper money.

After sending away Jiang Jiaquan and others, Ye Zhong and others from the Ministry of War had been waiting for Gao Yuan for a long time. However, Gao Yuan summoned Ye Zhong and the others in the Hall of Qinzheng. In the center of the hall, there was a huge sand table. Ye Zhong, Qin Lei and the two were standing next to the sand table with a few staff officers.

Gao Yuan and He Weiyuan appeared in the hall with He Weiyuan.

"Within this year, I want the state of Chu to bow 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, and it is said that Chu people are cowardly, but this time Chu King Huai is very strong, so far he has not shown any intention of giving up."

Ye Zhong pointed to the sand table: "Your Majesty, the reason why King Huai of Chu is still stubborn is because until now, we still have nothing to do with their Kangping City. Kangping City is our gateway to Chu Kingdom , but until now, Kangping City is still standing still. Qu Wan, the general of Chu State, has rich experience, and Qu Zhong keeps dispatching troops to lay down a chain defense along Kangping City. The defensive line is like a snake. If you poke at any point, he will bounce and move a few times. If you are not careful, he will open his mouth to bite you. The only most effective attack is Even against Kangping City, but this Kangping City is really too difficult to fight."

"It seems that Qu Wan is predicting that we don't have confidence in the tough battle, and we are worried about too many casualties, so we set up such a formation, hehe, but now this can't trouble us. Kangping City, I It must be laid down."

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

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "It's time for him to move a bit. In the past few months, the Yizhen Research Institute has produced a total of 1,000 kilograms of this thing. This time, all of them will be shipped to Meng Chong."

"A thousand kilograms?" Ye Zhong's face changed color. The last time he was in the Yizhen Research Institute, such a terrifying explosion occurred in just a little bit. In the subsequent experiments, he, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, also personally Going to observe it, I have lingering fears about the power of this thing.

"That's right, since you want to make a little noise, it must be earth-shattering and shocking to the world." Gao Yuan said with a big smile. A group of researchers followed to protect the safety of these things on the road. At the same time, along the way, they will also teach the soldiers how to use him. Therefore, Ye Zhong, the soldiers escorted this time must choose smarter ones. "

Ye Zhong's face shone with dazzling brilliance, "Your Majesty, this time, I want to go in person. As the Minister of War of the Great Han, I don't want to miss such a historic moment."

"If you like to go, you can go!" Gao Yuan waved his hand disapprovingly, "This is just the most primitive application of this thing, just look at it, this thing will shine in the future. Because he The emergence of the world will change the war in this world!" (to be continued)
