Wang Hengyue just thought he heard it wrong: How much?
The first batch of silver, silver coins, various types of jewelry, and countless utensils arrived. We calculated it and found that it was worth more than two million taels. Moreover, Yu Lei said that time is tight and we can only send the first batch.
, a large amount of money and materials will be sent to Rong County one after another!
Wang Hengyue swallowed his saliva. Did he hear it wrong? Or was he in a dream? Yu Lei had only been away for a few days, and he gave him two million?
What did Yu Lei do in Leshan?
How much money can I earn by working hard and frugally? What's more, the Qing army is severely restricted. Although the salt channel is opened, every tael of silver is exchanged for life. This seems to be free of charge for Yu Lei.
What a strength!
Is there still a lot? Wang Hengyue blinked his eyes.
Yes, specific quantities are in preparation for shipment
It's a shame to let Yu Leigan do business and let Yu Leigan do business. Let's go and have a look. Wang Hengyue said angrily.
The supplies delivered from Leshan were being unloaded, and a large box was transported from the truck. When someone opened it, low exclamations could be heard.
There were silver ingots, scattered silver, silver notes, and jewelry boxes. Looking at the carriage behind, there were dressing tables, pear-wood beds, stools, vases, and even several brand-new toilets and chamber pots.
Wang Hengyue's eyes widened. Whose belongings did Yu Lei bring to me? A toilet? A chamber pot? What to do? For me to use at night?
And that’s not all. The last carriage actually had eight sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls sitting on it!
What is this? Wang Hengyue touched his head.
Back to Hengshuai, some officials couldn't get the cash at the moment, so they used their maids to pay off the money. Yu Lei's subordinates who came back with the car said.
Oh what? Wang Hengyue's eyes widened: What did you say?
Some officials couldn't afford the money, so they could only use their maids to pay off the money.
Yu Lei, who is a bastard, why is he so crazy? Although he had known for a long time that Yu Lei would definitely cause trouble for him when he went to Leshan, but who would have thought that he would attack Leshan officials without saying a word?
Okay, okay, I need to get all the property of the Leshan officials. I really got rich this time! Think about it, Yu Lei and Zhang Xu are really a match made in heaven. One is responsible for destroying and making money, and the other is responsible for cleaning up the mess.
Whole Leshan.
He scratched his head and glanced at Yu Lei's subordinate: What's your name?
Return to Hengshuai, my subordinate Bell
I didn’t ask you for your nickname or your real name! Wang Hengyue interrupted him.
I hesitated for a moment: Lu Xuan.
Wang Hengyue nodded: What else is Yu Lei going to do?
Lu Xuan hesitated again: Commander Yu has transferred Black Iron to Leshan. A large number of merchants in Leshan opposed the revolution and undermined it. In order to complete the great cause of the revolution, Commander Yu decided to clean up these merchants one by one. It cannot be done otherwise.
Make the revolution successful!
Yu Lei, who is in a bad mood, opens his mouth to revolutionize his life, but keeps his mouth shut to revolutionize his life. Revolutionary life has become his cover! Wang Hengyue laughed when he said it himself: Go back and tell Yu Lei, if Leshan is messed up by me
Well, I will twist off his head and use it as a chamber pot!
Who would have thought that Lu Xuan's words made Wang Hengyue not know whether to be angry or laughing:
Commander Yu said that sooner or later, his head would be ripped off by Heng Shuai and used as a chamber pot.
Yu Lei got Wang Hengyue a lot of belongings. The silver and jewelry were easy to handle, but he couldn't get rid of the furniture and so on for the time being, so he had to build another warehouse. There were also eight maids, which made Wang Hengyue even more troubled.
Long before that, Wang Hengyue had already had the idea of making silver coins. Although he also thought about issuing banknotes, according to the current situation, it was simply impossible for the people to accept it. The circulation range of issuing banknotes could only be limited to a few places under his control. The common people and gentry were determined to
Paper money will not be accepted, but issuing silver dollars would make a big difference!
Deng Yong and Chen Qifeng were called, and after some discussion, they all felt that the matter was feasible. Deng Yong even came up with a drawing of a silver dollar.
On the back are the words Chinese Revolutionary Military Government, and on the front is a bust of Wang Hengyue.
Wang Datou?
Wang Hengyue didn't know why these words suddenly popped up in his mind.
We plan to issue four types of silver coins, one yuan, five cents, two cents, one dime, one nickel coin, and five types of copper coins. Two cents, one cent, five cents, two cents, and one cent. With one yuan silver coin as the main currency, the total
The weight is seven cents and two cents, including six cents and four cents and eight cents of sterling silver.
Wang Hengyue also didn’t understand this: Anyway, you go and do it. The quality must be sufficient and the workmanship must be exquisite, so that the people can accept it. Once the production is completed, Rong County and other four places will use this silver dollar as the currency in the future.
Wang Hengyue thought for a moment: How about setting up a bank?
Sir, the time to establish a bank is not yet ripe. Chen Qifeng said: Not to mention the capital, just talking about the current war period, hastily establishing a bank will not have high credibility. Let me tell you something that Hengshuai is not happy to hear. People have deposited their money in our bank.
, but Rong County was overrun the next day, and the military government was gone. What would happen to the banks? What would happen to the people's money stored in the banks?
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, and the idea of establishing a bank was indeed a bit urgent: we will wait for a while before discussing this matter, and first settle the silver dollar matter as soon as possible.
The two agreed, and Chen Qifeng immediately said: There are two salt merchants in Hengshuai, Ziliujing and Gongjing who want to sell salt wells.
Salt well for sale? Wang Hengyue was startled.
Yes. Now that the salt channel is cut off, the only way to produce salt is to sell it to us, but the price is very low. Often, you can’t make a few taels of silver from a batch of salt. Moreover, most of the salt merchants are worried that if the military government cannot resist the
What should they do if they live in it? Even if they can withstand it, a long-term blockade will be too much for them. Besides, this salt well is very different from the others. A cannonball flies in, destroys the salt well, and clears the money for excavation. It is enough to open a new one.
.
I thought that with Hengshuai’s character, he would try his best to buy such a good thing at a low price. But he didn’t expect that Wang Hengyue was silent there for a long time:
Go tell the salt merchants who want to sell salt wells that the military government will definitely be able to hold on. Moreover, the blockade of the salt channel will only last for two or three months. Just hold on. If you really don’t believe that we can hold on, then mortgage the salt wells first.
Give it to us, and we will give them cash money. When the Revolution is victorious, they can redeem it without a single tael of interest.
What does Hengshuai mean? Chen Qifeng is a little confused.
Wang Hengyue smiled: People in Rong County believe in us, but Ziliujing and Gongjing have not been included in our scope for a long time, so it is not surprising that people there lack confidence in us. If we want to achieve great things, people's hearts are the first priority. We
We must use this matter to establish our credibility and status in the hearts of everyone. The military government is benevolent and righteous. It does not take advantage of the people, but instead protects the people and the interests of businessmen as much as possible!
Chen Qifeng understood: when the war is over and those businessmen take back the salt wells, how can they not be grateful to the military government and support Hengshuai? At that time, who wants to get involved in our territory, I am afraid these businessmen will be the first to rise up and oppose!
In fact, Hengshuai did not suffer any loss at all. Deng Yong also laughed at the side: He said that there was no interest, but in fact the salt merchant mortgaged the salt well to us and let us mine for several months in vain. Isn't this more generous than the interest?
Wang Hengyue's inner thoughts were revealed and he burst out laughing.
It is really not easy to be the commander-in-chief of Heng. He has to consider military affairs, politics, and now he has to worry about the economy. Fortunately, he knows what will happen in the future, otherwise he would really be taking risks.
While he was talking there, there was movement outside. After a while, Ma Yunxin walked in with a smile on her face: Hengshuai, the students from the Army Academy are waiting to see you at the door.
The students from the Army Academy want to see me? Wang Hengyue stood up: Let’s go and have a look.
Students from the Army Academy had already stood in the courtyard. Wang Mingzhang and others stood at the front. When they saw Commander Heng coming out, they all stood at attention and saluted:
Hello principal!
Well! Wang Hengyue returned a military salute: Wang Mingzhang, what are you doing?
Wang Hengyue's chest puffed up: Report to the principal, the Qing army attacked our Rong County, and all our comrades in the Chinese Army fought with blood to defend Rong County and the revolutionary revolution! We, the students of the Military Academy, are willing to sacrifice our lives on the front line to defend the revolutionary revolution and the revolution.
Military government, please approve the principal!
What a nonsense! Wang Hengyue’s face darkened: Who was in charge of this?
Report to the principal, Wang Mingzhang!
Rao Guohua, Li Jiayu, Xu Guozhang!
Okay, it’s you four again. Wang Hengyue looked at them with a straight face, and after a while his tone softened: Students, I can understand your mood. But fighting is not what you want to do now! Your main task now
Just teach me well. When you come out of the Army Academy, you will not be ordinary soldiers, but you will be officers to command soldiers in battles. Don't think of yourselves as ordinary soldiers!
As he spoke, his expression became serious again: Anyone can be a soldier, pick up a gun, fight the enemy and die for the country! But it is not so easy to be a good officer. It is easy to die and find victory.
Difficult! Let me tell you, every one of you is my treasure. If Rong County can’t defend it, I will move you to the Artesian Well! If the Artesian Well cannot be defended, I will move you to Leshan! In short,
If you don’t learn your skills well, no one will be allowed to fight on the battlefield!
He stared at Wang Mingzhang and the others: Do you understand?
Report to senior, I understand! Wang Mingzhang led the students and shouted back together, and then lowered his head like a child who made a mistake: Principal, we were wrong.
There was a smile on Wang Hengyue's lips: Now that I know I was wrong, why don't I go back to school to study!
