Although Wang Jialie's nephew Wang Youda is the actual controller of Gao County, there is still a county magistrate named Zhao Changshou in Gao County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The meeting with Mr. Huang was arranged in the office of the county magistrate Zhao. Wang Youda's public identity is that of a county government consultant. This would ensure that he would be involved in the meeting without having to be put at the forefront.

"Contemptible Zhao Changshou is the county magistrate of Gao County, I don't know why Commander Huang wants to see my advisor Mr. Wang?"

In the pretended opening remarks, Zhao Changshou tried to play a shield so that Wang Youda could hide aside and observe the situation first, but was interrupted by Huang Haoran single-handedly.

"Advisor Wang's full name is Wang Youda, right? Are you Wong Ka Lie's nephew? ”

Huang Haoran had been circling Gao County for several hours before revealing his identity. The common people living on the border between Sichuan and Guizhou provinces do not have the concerns of officials, and visitors are their source of income. Changed into civilian clothes and took Yang Wenna to spend a few "half-open" syndicates for a meal, and Huang Haoran understood the situation in Gao County clearly.

The fiat currency issued by the Wuhan government is not easy to use in such a border area between the two provinces. Tobacco vendors and local residents were quite distrustful of banknotes, and half-opened silver dollars were the hard currency here.

Yunnan's half-open silver yuan, that is, the semi-round silver yuan in the silver coinage approved by the Qing government, is used for every two silver yuan worth one silver yuan.

The machine-minted silver coins of Yunnan Province are mainly based on this semi-circular silver dollar.

After the Xinhai Revolution, the new mold of the Kaiyuan Mint of the Republic of China was too late to make, but it was in urgent need of minting silver yuan, so it could only use the old mold, which was the only Longyang of the Qing Dynasty cast during the Republic of China. Because it is more suitable for the relatively backward social and economic level of Yunnan, Yunnan's self-minted silver yuan and silver coins in circulation are the most semi-open silver yuan.

In 1911, Yunnan "regained its strength", established the military capital governor's office, and established the local financial core institution - Fudian Bank. In 1912, the Military Governor's Office issued a notice, ordering the Fudian Bank to "issue all kinds of banknotes and silver yuan, all of which are universal", thus establishing the silver yuan standard and becoming the second province in the country to "change to dual-use yuan" after Sichuan; Then the Yunnan Mint Branch was changed to the Yunnan Mint, and the coins were minted by themselves, and the minting took more than a few days. Yunnan is a province in history, after the Xinhai Revolution, due to the cessation of "co-payment", in order to raise military and political expenses, the mint of this province minted a large circle, a few, and later due to the abundance of paper money, the casting material is insufficient, it is a special mint of half-open silver yuan. In 1918, the country was successfully defended, and the silver dollar was minted, and the public was only a semicircle, and the new version of the "supporting the republic" commemorative silver coin was also a five-pointed silver coin. Through this process, the semi-open silver yuan followed its customary basis that had been widely circulated and used in Yunnan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in fact achieved the status of the main currency in circulation in Yunnan. The original minted half-open silver round still maintains the original fineness standard, such as the above-mentioned "support the republic" commemorative silver coin, which is consistent with the old Yunnan half-open silver coin, which contains 80% of silver. However, after the revival of the Protector Army, due to the huge amount of military resources, it was forced to cast and reduce the color of the half-open as a method of fund-raising, resulting in the half-open from eighty percent to seventy percent, sixty percent, and even fifty percent, or even less than fifty percent. Although this kind of low-value silver coins are constantly being minted, because at the same time, a large number of banknotes issued by Fudian Bank flooded the market, and the coinage is far from keeping up with the needs of indiscriminate issuance of banknotes, so that in the increasingly chaotic financial market, people "would rather be half-open than paper money". As a result, the depreciated half-open became more and more cast, and the circulation became more and more extensive, even beyond the provincial borders, into Guizhou, Guangxi and parts of Sichuan. Yunnan is half open to the world. (To be continued.) )
