The water of Qiantang River presents a white line in the sky and rushes to the bank. In a short time, the huge surge of the river comes. For a moment, the waves make a scene and the water splashes.
Cao Kun looked at the spring tide of the Qiantang River which appeared every year, and looked at the tide makers who appeared and disappeared in the river with great interest. A smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Only brave people can become the tide makers in the middle of the river. If you want to get wealth and power, you have to take risks. If Dayu wants to really develop, you have to let businessmen rule the country. Only in this way can the country become rich and strong."
"I have to say that there are few people in Dayu who are so open-minded as you. We franceans will stand with you." A strange color flashed in Richard's eyes.
What France needs now is a divided state of Dayu. He and Basile witnessed how the northern emperors conquered the nation in Dayu. At the same time,
also knew what weapons the Imperial Army used. If the emperor was to get rich southern again, the troops from the North would continue to go south and fight with them in Indochina.
And this is something their country cannot tolerate.
Of course, they are also making preparations, secretly supporting the state of Chu. At the same time, they are ready to negotiate with the emperor at any time.
if the emperor could not interfere in their colonies in Indochina, they might establish contacts with the emperor.
On the contrary, they will fight the emperor to the end, even if they can only fight long-distance across the sea.
"With you, I'm at ease." Cao Kun laughed. He didn't take Richard's words seriously.
He understood these western countries and believed that their commitment was not as good as believing that sows would rise to the tree. Relying on others was not as good as relying on themselves. Now the French have exported a lot of valuable technology to Chu, and this is what he needs.
Richard laughed at the same time, like a Golden Fox.
……
Qingzhou.
With the spread of the news about currency in the newspapers two days ago, many people and businessmen swarmed in.
These merchants and common people used to store the silver in the Cao family's Bank. Since the closure of the Cao family's Bank, they have been in a constant panic. Almost every day they go to the government to inquire about the silver.
Because of the influence of this incident, even the Qingzhou bank also had a wave of exchange. People went to Qingzhou bank with bank notes and certificates of deposit to ask for silver and gold. For a time, the whole Qingzhou government was in a panic.
However, the impact of this incident was finally ended. The court officially promised to fully accept the debts of caojia bank, and all caojia banks were renamed Qingzhou bank.
Moreover, in order to prevent private banks from damaging the industry and Commerce of Dayu again, private banks are forbidden from now on. Only the imperial court can build banks.
This news made some businessmen who tried to set up a bank a little frustrated, but it got the approval of most businessmen and the people.
Because of the Cao family's affairs, they only believe in the imperial court now, because all the people who go to Qingzhou bank to exchange money these days get silver, and they have a lot of copper money.
"What's this, don't you mean to give us the silver back?"
The people in the branch of Qingzhou bank rebuilt by caojia bank were excited, because when they arrived at Qingzhou bank, they knew that what the court had given them was a completely strange currency.
Although they got the news in advance from the newspapers, it was hard to accept when they really got the money.
The bank staff behind the glass counter kept smiling all the time, and they had received strict training before entering the bank.
He said humbly, "these are the coins issued by Qingzhou bank. The emperor and the cabinet approved them in person. In the future, new coins must be used in any trade in Dayu. The silver you deposited in Qianzhuang is equal to 3000 Jinlong. This is 3000 Jinlong coins. There is no mistake. The gold content of Jinlong is 90%, and only 10% of other metals can improve its hardness."
The merchant picked up a handful of gold dragon coins from the bag. Each of them was as big as a thumb cover. It had to be said that the shape was very exquisite.
"Gold coins!" when the merchant learned that the gold dragon coins were gold, his mood gradually stabilized, but the size of the gold dragon coins made him dissatisfied.
The bank employee smiles and nods.
The noisy merchants and common people settled down and looked at the currency in front of the counter one by one. In addition to gold coins, the bank staff then introduced silver coins and copper coins.
Finally, the bank employee took out a note and said, "this is a note of 100 gold dragon value, which can be exchanged by people who need large-scale trade. It's much more beautiful than banknotes, and it's more practical than banks."
"Made of paper? Only a fool can exchange it. " There was a shout in the crowd.
As soon as his voice fell, a voice of opposition rang out, "I'm willing to change it. Cao Zhengyang fled with the silver, which was chased back by the imperial court. To be honest, if the previous imperial court would return the silver to you? You should have put your money in the wrong place. You can only admit your bad luck. Now that you have lost your money and recovered it, some people are picky. In that case, don't come to Qingzhou bank. Go to the south to find your Cao family bank. "The people in the bank were silent immediately. You look at me and I look at you. Many faces showed a look of shame.
At this time, the voice sounded again, "you are greedy for the benefits brought to you when the state of Dayu was strong, but now you are not willing to lose any personal interests or take any risks for the sake of the imperial court. The decline of Dayu has the responsibility of the great power and the Royal family. Don't you have the responsibility?"
Voice closer and closer to the counter, a youth book to the center of the crowd, and the people around him automatically get out of the way.
The businessman who spoke just now saw that the young scholar was a little annoyed and said, "if you don't do it for yourself, heaven will destroy the earth. It's only a few years since the emperor ascended the throne. Now many officials have begun to blackmail US businessmen. Sooner or later, such a court will be finished. It's better to think more about ourselves."
Hearing this, the young scholar was not angry. Instead, he laughed, "it's wrong for the officials to corrupt the imperial court, but if it wasn't for you people who frequently give gifts for convenience, how could you cultivate a group of officials who don't accept gifts and don't handle affairs?"
"Haha, you are very good at exonerating the court. In the end, everything is not the common people." The merchant sneered.
The young man said, "no, no, what I'm talking about is that only when the imperial court and the people are united as one, can we get rid of the thousand year old malady of Dayu state. The imperial court should punish corrupt officials, but we can't give gifts for convenience."
The merchant frowned, "hum, you are so big. Who do you think you are?"
The young man gently shook the paper fan and calmly said, "I am not talented, but a member of the Confucius family in Qufu."
His voice shocked the whole room.
Seeing this, the young man showed his face. Today's Bank affair is his best gift to the emperor.
