In that era, the Qing court issued this kind of Qing dragon banknotes, there were too many loopholes, as long as the simplest financial war against the Qing dragon banknotes was launched, not only could the Shanxi ticket number and the Qing dragon banknotes issued by the Qing Dynasty Bank become waste paper, but also obtained a large amount of silver and commodities from it, raising the prices in the north, so that the Qing court's economy completely collapsed.

It's just that people at that time didn't have the concept of financial warfare at all, and the Qing Dynasty Bank was completely imitating the model of the Nanyang Bank, relying on the gourd, only knowing the use of issuing paper money to alleviate the problem of silver shortage, and the use of paper money to gradually depreciate to earn folk silver, but they didn't know that the opponent could launch a financial war against the issued paper money, so that the Qing court's paper money system quickly collapsed, and it could also speed up the loss of silver in the north.

And Wang Xinyu's financial war, if it is put in the future, it is simply not worth mentioning, it is too pediatric, and the opponent can easily find countermeasures, and at the same time retaliate back in the same way.

However, in this era, no one understood these things at all, so such a simple means of financial warfare would definitely make the Qing court suffer heavy losses.

"In addition to imitating Tartar banknotes, we can also encourage northern merchants, or northern people, as long as they have our Daming treasure banknotes in their hands, they can buy our goods and exchange silver with us!" Wang Xinyu remembered one more thing and added.

In the hands of the common people, this kind of banknote is used as well as gold and silver, just like the Republic of China period in later generations, regardless of legal tender, or gold and silver coupons, in the eyes of the common people are waste paper. However, the US dollar, like the gold bar Yuan Datou, is real money and silver, and it is one of the hard currencies that the rich compete to collect.

Liu Qi seemed to understand something: "The prince is clever! This will allow the northerners to obtain our Daming treasure banknotes, and we can buy goods from the northerners as long as we print the money! It's just that it will take quite a long time for our banknotes to establish reliable credibility among the northerners. ”

Wang Xinyu nodded and said, "Not bad!" It could take five, six, or even ten years! But at the moment our paper money can be exchanged for gold and silver, and it will take twenty, thirty, or even longer for our paper money to be able to truly plunder wealth! ”

"Can the Tartar court exist for thirty years?" Liu Qi was very surprised and asked, "Even if the Tartar Imperial Court is still there thirty years later, it will have already been driven out of the capital, right?" Either rush to Guanwai, or rush to the Western Regions. ”

"Yes!" Wang Xinyu said with a smile, "The plan of this clan is to drive the Tartars all the way west!" Rush to the Tessie! Let the Tartars destroy the countries in the Western Regions that believe in the Heavenly Sect first, and then let the Tartars go to the Taixi countries! Let them come to the scourge of Europe! But by that time, the Tartars have become our allies, and we can provide them with weapons! And after our creditworthiness improves, our banknotes can flow through the hands of the Tartars to the countries of Taixi! Let the Tessie countries also use our paper money, so that we can use the paper money to plunder the wealth obtained by European colonization for more than 200 years! ”

That was a long-term plan, and by that time, the Qing Empire as an empire had already perished, and would become a thug of the Ming Dynasty's westward expansion, adding chaos to the Middle East and Europe in the front. At that point, it was a struggle for space and resources between East Asians and other races.

The Middle East is rich in oil resources, which cannot be seen in this era, but in the future, if you control oil, you will control the whole world.

Liu Qi took all kinds of Qing Dynasty dragon banknotes and returned to Nanyang Bank, whose headquarters had been relocated to Shanghai, to study it slowly. At this time, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway (Nanjing to Shanghai) had just been opened, and Liu Qi could take the first passenger train in trial operation and take a train from Nanjing to Shanghai.

"Long Dragon! It's time to open the long line! "On the first day of the opening of the railway, people inside and outside Nanjing, people in Shanghai, and people along the railway line rushed to both sides of the railway line to see the long queue that was about to pass through the railway line.

"Woo-" A 160-horsepower steam locomotive whistled and pulled a four-carriage passenger train slowly out of Shanghai North Railway Station and headed for Nanjing. Because the current railway is not an all-track railway, it is still a wooden track with iron plates laid on it, so the weight of the train is not too large.

This train has four carriages, the weight of each carriage is about 20 tons, the carriage is three zhang long, one zhang wide, the height of the inside of the carriage is one zhang, the bottom of the carriage is three feet away from the rails, the carriage structure is covered with wooden planks outside the iron frame, and the windows are wood-framed glass windows that can be pushed up.

Two of the carriages are hard-seated cars, with twelve rows of wooden seats in the carriage, a row of five people in the middle, a row of four people at both ends, the seats are set up face-to-face, there are small coffee tables, and a hard-seat car has fifty-eight seats, which can carry more than 100 people. There is a toilet and a toilet on one side of the carriage, and at the other end is the cabin of the crew and the boiler room. The last is a sleeper car, which has four private rooms, each with a capacity of four people, and an aisle on one side with foldable seats, and the equipment at both ends of the car is the same as that of a hard-seater. Between the hard-seater car and the sleeper car is a dining car, which has a kitchen and 24 seats.

Although the ticket price of the sleeping car is expensive, a ticket from Shanghai to Nanjing costs ten taels of silver, which is much more expensive than the first-class ticket price of the sail mail ship from Shanghai to Nanjing in the same period, but the train ticket is still sold out.

With a deafening roar, the steam locomotives pulled the coaches and galloped along the railway line at a speed of one hundred and fifty miles per hour. From Shanghai to Nanjing, this train takes only twelve hours to arrive. At the same time, it took two days and two nights for the sail ship to go upstream, and it took more than 30 hours to go downstream.

Even if it is a crowded hard-seat car, the ticket has long been snatched up, and the ticket price of the hard-seat car is not cheap, a ticket costs two taels of silver, which is much more expensive than the third-class cabin of the mail ship, and there are beds to sleep in the third-class cabin of the mail ship, and the hard-seat car can only be sitting, and there are even many standing tickets.

Although the comfort of a hard-seat car is far less than that of a sailboat, the train is much faster, and there are many people who come to travel by train purely for the sake of taste.

The steam locomotive pulls the passenger cars and gallops along the railway line, and the people in the cars look out the window at the scenery speeding by, feeling new and interesting about everything. Three feet above the ground like a fairy, sitting three feet above the ground, plus the height of the roadbed, a bird's-eye view of the fields outside from the car six feet above the ground, coupled with the speed of the train, the roar of the cylinders of the steam locomotive, and the sonorous sound of the wheels colliding with the rails, it feels like it cannot be compared with a mail ship.
