Iron Dynasty

The water of the Qiantang River appeared as a white line in the sky and rushed towards the shore. After a while, huge river waves rushed in, and the waves crashed and splashed.

Cao Kun looked at the Qiantang River tide that appears every year, and looked at the tide swimmers in the river with interest, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Only brave people can become the trend-setters in Jiangzhong. If you want to get wealth and power, you must take risks. If the Great Yu country wants to truly develop, it must let businessmen rule the country. Only in this way can this country be will be prosperous.”

I have to say that there are very few open-minded people like you in Da Yu, and we French people will stand with you. A strange color flashed in Li Cha's eyes.

What France needs now is a divided country of Great Yu. He and Brazil have witnessed how the emperor of the north conquered the peoples of this land during the period of Great Yu.

At the same time they also learned what kind of weapons the emperor's army used. If the emperor was allowed to get the rich south, the army from the north would continue to go south to fight them in Indochina.

And this is intolerable in their country.

Of course, they are also making preparations. While secretly supporting the state of Chu, they are also ready to negotiate with the emperor at any time.

If the emperor could not interfere with their colonies in Indochina, they might establish relations with the emperor.

On the contrary, they will fight the emperor firmly to the end, even if they can only fight across the sea at long distances.

With your words, I feel at ease. Cao Kun laughed, he didn't take Li Cha's words seriously.

He understands these Western countries and believes that their promises are not as good as believing that sows can grow trees, and relying on others is worse than relying on themselves. Now the French have exported a lot of valuable technology to Chu, and this is what he needs.

Li Cha echoed and laughed at the same time, like a golden fox.

...

Qingzhou.

As the news about currency in the newspapers of the past two days spread, many people and businessmen flocked to it.

These merchants and commoners are all people who once kept the money in the Cao family bank. Since the Cao family bank was sealed, they have been in a state of panic, and they go to the government office to inquire about the money almost every day.

Because of the influence of this incident, even the Qingzhou Bank has experienced a wave of exchange, and people have taken bank notes and certificates of deposit to the Qingzhou Bank to ask for silver and gold in exchange.

However, the impact of this incident was finally ended, and the imperial court officially promised to fully accept the debts of the Cao Family Banks, and all Cao Family Banks were renamed Qingzhou Bank.

Moreover, in order to prevent private banks from causing damage to the industry and commerce of Dayu again, from now on, private banks are prohibited from opening, and only the imperial court can build banks.

The news made some businessmen trying to open a bank a little frustrated, but it was approved by most businessmen and people.

Because of the affairs of the Cao family, they now only believe in the imperial court, because in the past few days, everyone who goes to Qingzhou Bank to exchange money will get silver, and a lot of copper coins.

What is this, doesn't it mean to return the money to us?

The Qingzhou Bank sub-branch rebuilt by Caojia Qianzhuang was very excited, because when they arrived at Qingzhou Bank, they realized that the imperial court gave them a completely unfamiliar currency.

Although they got the news in advance from the newspapers, it was still difficult to accept when they actually got the money.

The bank staff behind the glass counters are always smiling, and they all undergo rigorous training before entering the bank.

He said humbly: These are the currencies issued by the Qingzhou Bank. The emperor and the cabinet personally approved and agreed. In the future, new coins must be used in any trade in the Great Yu Kingdom. There is nothing wrong with the Qianjinlong coin, and the gold content of the golden dragon is 90%, and only 10% of the other metals increase the hardness.

The businessman grabbed a handful of golden dragon coins from the bag. Each of these golden dragon coins was the size of a thumb cap, and it had to be said that the shape was very beautiful.

Gold coins! When the businessman learned that these golden dragon coins were gold, his mood gradually stabilized, but the size of the golden dragon coins made him a little dissatisfied.

The bank employee smiled and nodded.

This time, the noisy businessmen and people settled down and stretched their heads to look at the coins in front of the counter. In addition to the gold coins, the bank staff introduced silver coins and copper coins.

Finally, the bank employee took out a banknote and said, This is a banknote worth one hundred gold dragons, which can be exchanged by those who need large-scale trade exchanges. It is much more beautiful than a silver note, and it is also more practical than a bank.

It's made of paper? Only a fool will exchange it. Someone in the crowd shouted.

As soon as his voice fell, a dissenting voice sounded, I am willing to change, this Cao Zhengyang fled with the silver, and the court chased it back for us. To be honest, if the previous court would return the money to you? Then You deserve to keep the money in the wrong place, you can only admit that you are unlucky, and now that the money is lost and found, some people are picking and choosing, in this case, don't come to Qingzhou Bank, go to the south to find your Cao's bank.

The people in the bank were silent for a while. Look at me and I look at you. Many people have a look of shame on their faces.

At this time, the voice sounded again, You are greedy for the benefits that the Great Yu Kingdom brought you when it was strong, but now you are unwilling to lose a little personal interest and take a little risk for the court. The decline of the Great Yu Kingdom is of course tyrannical and royal. Responsibility, don't you have any responsibility?

The voice got closer and closer to the counter, a youth book walked towards the center of the crowd, and the people around him automatically gave way.

The businessman who spoke just now saw the young scholar was a little embarrassed, and said, People don't kill themselves for their own sake. The emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and now many officials have begun to blackmail us business people. This kind of imperial court will be finished sooner or later, it is better to think about yourself. .

The young scholar did not get angry when he heard the words, but instead laughed, It is wrong for officials to be corrupt and the imperial court, but if you guys don't give gifts frequently for convenience, how can you cultivate a group of officials who don't do things without receiving gifts.

Hey, you are quite good at excusing the court. In the end, everything is not a commoner. The businessman sneered.

The young man said, No, no, no, what I'm saying is that only the imperial court and the common people can be united, and all the people can get rid of the ills of the Great Yu Kingdom for thousands of years. The imperial court wants to punish corrupt officials, but we can't give gifts for convenience.

The businessman frowned, Hmph, you are so loud, who do you think you are?

The young man shook the paper fan lightly, and said indifferently: I'm not a talented person, but a person from the Confucius House in Qufu.

As soon as his voice fell, the whole room was shocked.

Seeing this, the young man's face was bright, and today's matter of the bank was the best gift he gave the emperor.

PS: Please explain, this time, the snail’s daughter-in-law was born naturally. She should have been in the hospital for three days, but she was discharged in two days, because the daughter-in-law and her classmates said in the hospital that she could go home the next day, and the wife did not want to live in the hospital. , but coming back early also caused a lot of problems, which was also caused by inexperience, and as a result, I was busy for another day, and finally everything was fine.

As for the update, the snail will recover tomorrow, and at the same time make up for the debt, and work hard for the family's small public affairs.
