Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Qiang nodded, "Basically, our food stamps have to closely follow the ratio of Daming's silver price. One hundred yuan is seven or eight taels of silver, and 150 yuan is ten taels of silver. As for the ratio to gold, I believe that with the above comparison, It's easy to figure out, because the ratio of gold and silver is floating, so our exchange is also the exchange rate after everyone's conversion."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiang waited for a while, and after everyone had basically figured it out, he said: "We are doing this only to alleviate our current bad situation of insufficient financial and tax revenue. When the situation eases a little, we will adjust it. Continue to use food stamps or others as money, maybe you can exchange them for silver and use them as money. Don’t worry, everyone. At the same time, when explaining to the people below, you must explain clearly and don’t cause bad influence. I believe that after the war, the lives of these people Receptivity is more receptive than rich people who sit at home."

You Haibo thought for a while, "My lord is afraid that some people will incite the common people to maliciously exchange the gold and silver in our hands. If you want to do business with outsiders, you have to pay the foreign merchants for gold and silver. Outside merchants don't use our food stamps. Isn't that so, my lord?" ?”

Chapter 154 Personnel Adjustment

Zhang Qiang nodded, and at the same time he sighed in his heart. Scholars still think fast. So many people under his command are all martial arts masters. He accepted them as his own officials.

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly to You Haibo, accepting his explanation.

Zhang Qiang said to Wei Wuji: "Transfer Milin to the Military Supply Department to serve as the Chief of the Military Supply Department. He used to be in charge of our logistics, so he should be able to do it. From now on, he will be the policeman of the Governor's Mansion, and he will still serve as the Jinhua General Soldier. Wait until a suitable person is found. Candidates will be replaced."

If Milin is transferred away, someone will need to take over the actual work of Milin in the area facing Shaoxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion to the east.

Hu Kui was still in Guangzhou helping Longwu guard Guangzhou, and he couldn’t get away there. Hu Kui was the captain of the Chasseurs beside Zhang Qiang and the captain of Zhang Qiang’s personal guard. The importance attached by the Wu court made Long Wu have a good impression of Zhang Qiang. This is something that must be done. After all, in name, Zhang Qiang belongs to the governor of the Longwu court and is a member of Longwu.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Qiang thought of Yang Yangyang, turned around and said to Wei Wuji: "Take General Yang Yangyang back, go to Yiwu County to replace Milin as the commander of the guard there, and promote his rank to deputy commander-in-chief to prevent the Hangzhou government and The Qing army from Shaoxing Prefecture attacked us."

"Also," Zhang Qiang tapped the back of his head, "Bring Gu Yuesheng back to replace Zhou Porridge as the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, and Zhou Porridge will be transferred to be the Counselor of the Governor's Mansion, and will be fully responsible for managing all government affairs of the Governor's Mansion."

Zhou Porridge's joy was beyond words. He became the counselor of the governor's mansion from the magistrate. Although the rank is still the rank of the magistrate, the rank of counselors among the officials of Ming Dynasty is still lower than that of the magistrate. Didn't you say that you are of a higher rank than the magistrate?At least at the same level, the most gratifying thing is that he has returned to the leadership.

As Zhu Dadian's servant, he felt that he always wanted to rely on his master, and he felt a little uncomfortable without his master. He always felt that he was not qualified for the job on his own.

Wei Wuji had previously served as the vice chairman of the Military Liaison Conference, and he was still a little unconvinced. At this moment, he smiled. At least the Counselor of the Governor's Mansion is on the same level as Wei Wuji in terms of real power, and he is directly responsible to the Governor.

And Mi Chun was also happy, and his brother also came up. Zhang Qiang's currency reform policy made Mi Lin jump from a general to a civil servant of the Governor's Mansion. The special status of the Governor's Mansion makes his status quite high. In terms of importance, it is no less than myself, probably about the same level as my own.

Xuanyuan Longfei was a little anxious, "My lord, what about me?"

Zhang Qiang smiled and said: "You, the location is important, and Chen Hanhui and Chen Hanhui defended the seaside for me, it is a great achievement, the situation there is complicated, don't take it lightly, the enemy at sea takes advantage of the loophole, otherwise something happens, I will ask you! "

Xuanyuan Longfei was a little angry, but he didn't dare to oppose Zhang Qiang, so he could only mutter in a low voice, "What, obviously he doesn't want to promote me and treat me like a coolie."

Wei Wuji just smiled secretly, but he didn't open his mouth to object or help Xuanyuan Longfei. He still liked this guy very much, but he and Xuanyuan Longfei were not in the same way. , and secretly fighting, at this time he was very happy to see that Xuanyuan Longfei, who was close to Zhou Porridge, suffered a disadvantage.

But with his character, he won't show it, and he won't gloat. He likes to watch his opponent in secret. He will never let the opponent shoot him, but the opponent has nothing to do with him. He doesn't care whether it is victory or defeat. He only cares about himself.

Mi Chun and Milin were mentioned by him at the beginning, and Lin Chengcheng was also on his way. At the beginning, they took refuge in him and were close to him. At this time, Lin Chenggong couldn't help him, but his subordinates The two did a good job, and he decided to maintain a relationship with them in the future. They are his team members in the Jinhua Rebel Army.

You Haibo and Du Ge are in the same faction, and Du Ge is You Haibo's servant, but Du Ge and You Haibo are still at the bottom of the Jinhua Rebel Army system at this time, at least the bottom of the fourth floor.

In the Jinhua Rebel Army, Zhang Qiang and Hu Kui are the closest. Zhang Qiang is the boss, and Hu Kui will not suffer losses wherever he goes. The manpower is relatively scattered, he is favored by Zhang Qiang alone, and he is close to Xuanyuan Longfei, but sometimes he will not help Xuanyuan Longfei, Tang Dianfeng and the others should also belong to Zhang Qiang's faction, but Tang Dianfeng and the others can only be at the bottom of the Jinhua Rebel Army, they are peripheral personnel , temporarily unable to threaten his own status.

My faction is the third class, but Zhang Qiang attaches great importance to himself, and he also relies heavily on him for some things. As long as he makes no mistakes or betrays, his status will not be shaken.

Wei Wuji turned so many turns in his heart, thought so much, and in a flash, Zhou Porridge walked up to Xuanyuan Longfei with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder, "Do things with your heart, the Governor will not let you be loyal to him." You are at a disadvantage. Your main concern right now is to help the adults keep an eye on the gates of the sea, and assist the navy of Chen Hanhui and Zhang Ying to guard the beach. Next, the money bags of our Jinhua Rebel Army must be enriched by Zheng Chenggong and the others. Cooperation, this is not a small matter, understand?"

Zhang Qiang didn't know that his subordinates had put so much thought into it. He just wanted to let his territory enter a stage of rapid development. Although the territory of the territory is small, if the sea trade develops and makes more money, whether it is the population or the army, it will It swelled up like a balloon. Compared to the endless war between the Nanming and Qing armies, which only engaged in internal friction, he was about to laugh. When he developed himself, pushing the Qing army or taking over the Nanming territory was just a few words talk thing.

Du Ge is not stupid, he wanted to talk at first, Xuanyuan Longfei was worried about his official position, and he was also worried. Happy, although I am still the chief soldier, but is this something done by the chief soldier?

I should be in Taizhou County, Chen Hanhui or Qi Sansheng, Ma Weixing is the one who does these things, but Zhang Qiang sent himself to a small Tiantai County, which made him feel wronged, but when he wanted to speak, see Seeing Yu Haibo's wink, he stopped talking. You Haibo is the head of the family, since he won't let him meddle, he doesn't need to meddle.

Du Ge stopped talking, and He Jin is also a good person, but he still has a question. He saw that everyone was silent, and raised his hand. When Zhang Qiang signaled him to speak, he asked: "My lord, Yang Yangyang and the others?" What should we do with our troops guarding counties in Fujian?"

Zhang Qiang thought for a while, "Let the army in Yang Yangyang's hands be moved to Lanxi County, and Yang Yangyang take the guards to take over Milin's troops, and the troops in Lanxi County will be placed under the management of the city guard commander of Yiwu County, that is to say, they will still be under his command. .”

"Gu Yuesheng's troops were led by Hu Kui and stationed in Guangzhou. Gu Yuesheng took his own guards to Linhai County, which is the prefecture of Taizhou, to take office; Feng Wuyu was transferred to Jianning Mansion, Quzhou Mansion, and Jinhua Mansion. Stationed at the junction, the office is in Longyou County; Xiao Fei and Hu Kui cooperate with each other. Once there are police in Guangzhou, Xiao Fei takes people to support, mainly to help Hu Kui withdraw in dangerous situations, and Hu Kui also helps Xiao Fei When Quanzhou Mansion is in danger, to protect the court of Longwu, at least allow Longwu to retreat to our territory without any danger."

Zhang Qiang said to He Jin: "The safety and support of their two armies will be left to you."

He Jin looked loyal, stood up, and said loudly, "It's the governor."

You Haibo looked thoughtful, when Zhang Qiang looked at him, he asked: "My lord, do you mean that you want to give up the Longwu court?"

Chapter 155 Making Food Banknotes

You Haibo's question surprised everyone. Although everyone knew about Zhang Qiang's ambitions, Zhang Qiang still respected Longwu a lot before. On the surface, Longwu was the imperial court, and they were officials of the imperial court. Everyone knows that in fact, like He Tengjiao and other governors of Huguang, they have become warlords who listen to the propaganda but don't listen to mobilize real power. This is something everyone understands.

Everyone knows it in their hearts, but they never say it out. Everyone has a kind of mentality in their hearts, and they all feel that Zhang Qiang's future is to ascend the throne in the future. They will become the founding fathers of the new court. things.

At this time, Zhang Qiang suddenly said such words, obviously disrespecting the court or taking precautions. This kind of behavior is already obvious disobedience.

Everyone knew that the Longwu court was supported by Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army. At this time, Zhang emphasized that taking the two troops was already dismantling the Longwu court.

Without the support of Zhang Qiang's troops, it is a question whether the Longwu court can withstand the counterattack of Li Chengdong, Fan Shaozu and others who live in Jiangxi.

Seeing the look of everyone exchanging eyes, Zhang Qiang knew that everyone had misunderstood him.

Knocking on the table, when everyone refocused their eyes on themselves, Zhang Qiang said: "We protect them with good intentions, but they may not appreciate it. After these months of development, they already have an army of [-]. Let's station in There, it's a bit of an eyesore. I mean withdraw our troops in batches, shrink our strength, gradually return to our territory, and then we will concentrate on development, regardless of things outside the territory, unless Longwu comes to beg us again, we will going out, understand?"

Everyone nodded whether they understood or not.

Zhang Qiang couldn't help smiling wryly when he saw everyone acting like we understood. Everyone still felt that they were playing tricks, but they didn't know that they really wanted to develop with peace of mind. As for Longwu and the others, those Ming officials could at least last for a while. I have changed history, or when I came here, history has changed a lot. Many people who should have died have not died, and forces that should have perished have not perished. Daming is already different from the Daming in history.

I can't walk my next path with the foresight of history like other traversers, but one thing Zhang Qiang knows is to develop firearms, develop the economy, and strengthen the strength of the territory. As long as the strength is strong, all enemies are paper tigers , This is a tried and tested historical experience.

How do they know these things?

After the meeting, Zhang Qiang asked Zhou Porridge to start recruiting craftsmen with painting skills, engraving skills, ink-wash configuration craftsmen, paper craftsmen, and even François, Sebastian, and their lathe craftsmen. Come, start the work of developing food stamps.

Zhou Porridge organized a working group and transferred five people from Zhang Qiang's personal secretary, plus Sebastian, François, two Spaniards and Portuguese, and some old craftsmen from Ming Dynasty.

After a week of research, they came up with a prototype.

Zhang Qiang was not very satisfied. Are these food stamps for the common people?

A sheet of paper as big as sixteen, with ghostly symbols drawn on it, so many drawings that I can’t even recognize, and the paper is rotten, like the worst toilet paper for wiping my butt, yellow or white, even white. Not as good.

More than half a month passed, and they took out seven samples in total.

The size of the paper changed from 32K to 64K, and then to [-]K, and the paper changed from ordinary straw paper to expensive rice paper.

The pictures range from landscape paintings to Taoist temples, temples, palaces, paddy fields, old cows, and Zhang Qiang is speechless.

These people just can't turn their heads?

Get your own avatar up there?

Moreover, these banknotes are of different sizes. Is this a banknote?

This is not to tell fake, you come to fake, we wait?

A month has passed.

Under Zhang Qiang's guidance many times, he finally created a new food stamp that was the size of the banknote of later generations.
