Chapter 796: The Law of Extraterrestrial

Ji Si Gu Xiyi grabbed the first stick, and he was talking about the issue of currency reform. Yinghua has been making small steps in the monetary system, from silver bills to joint bills, and then to half a silver dollar, with the focus on incorporating domestic bulk commercial goods into the credit currency system first, and then extending it to the people. Now that Jiangnan has been flattened, it's time to take a big step forward and complete the currency reform.

"The general principle is to change two to the unit of value, and abolish the weight method. Gu Ce was divided into two cases, one case was stable, and a large half of a silver dollar and a small amount of silver coins were minted, and then mixed with joint bills and copper coins. The case was changed, based on the gold and silver of the treasury, and the national debt, and the joint notes were designated as the national banknotes, and the silver dollars and silver coins were supplemented ......"

What Gu Xiyi talked about is obviously a plan that has been brewing for a long time, and to carry out this reform, not only does it require early investment, but a country will inevitably undergo many changes. Now Jiangnan is no longer a burden, whether it is investment or oscillation, Yinghua can bear it.

This is still an internal strength, so all parties have no opinions, it depends on how to balance stability and change.

The joint bill is the credit currency, and every time each bank issues one or two joint bills, it has to deposit two silver bills in the Yinghua Bank, which is equivalent to the paper money of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The direction of the program is to promote a country to move towards a credit currency system.

After discussing for a while, everyone felt that although the people have a certain trust in the joint votes of Yinghua, but the total amount is not large, if it is fully implemented, it is almost to take the old road of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty, the Yuan and Ming banknotes were originally owned, but later they were all issued indiscriminately, how to control this kind of empty wealth, and the imperial court has no experience.

The resolution came out very quickly, that is, to take a step back, to issue national money, but not so much, only to convert the existing joint bills into national money, and to use national money in the central government, military spending, and related government operations.

Li Xi nodded in approval. So in this year, that is, the fifteenth year of the Holy Word. Anglo-Chinese legal tender notes are launched. It is called "Hua Liang", and the face value is one to ten "Liang", and the word "Liang" is added to the gold side, indicating that this is not a silver weight.

There are many details behind this change. One of the most important is to turn silver into gold. Everyone believes that China is not a country of silver. Most of the silver comes from abroad, and to rely on silver is to lose the financial foundation of the country.

Although the country also produces less gold, the people also use less gold. But gold is worth a lot after all. If you say that the goods are luxuriant. If the increase in the value of paper money must be issued more often, but the principal is insufficient, it will be supplemented by the adjustment of treasury bonds and other assets of the state, and at the same time gradually reduce the proportion of gold capital.

This is also to follow the policy of the countries of Europa, especially Britain. After all, financially, Huaxia is still an apprentice. If we have advanced experience, we must learn with an open mind. If you are gold-oriented, your country's finance can be controlled from the bottom up.

So where is the country's silver spent? It was used on silver coins and small silver coins, and it was pressed into small trade, gradually replacing copper coins.

A big problem that has emerged in this way is the comparison of gold and silver, which requires the Planning Department to cooperate with the Western Institute and the financial industry to control it from all aspects.

After the framework of the currency reform plan was finalized, Wu Yaluo fought for the second baton, and he wanted to talk about the comprehensive promotion of industry.

"Subsidies for steel, machinery, weaving and all kinds of workshops, pushing them to use new machines and new processes! Let the commercial goods more, the cost is lower, the price is cheaper! ”

Wu Yaluo, on behalf of the interest group of the workers in the country, naturally wanted to take advantage of the pacification of Jiangnan and finally had the opportunity to do great things. The appeal of the industrial valve is consistent with that of the commercial valve, and Peng Xianzhong and others in Zhongshu Province nodded in agreement.

"The Shilu Railway has been built, and a steam locomotive can drag hundreds of thousands of catties of goods and run twenty miles in half an hour. Not only can it allow the rapid exchange of commercial goods, but also promote the steel industry to further ......"...,

Wu Yaluo first talked about the railway, and Li Xianxin said that I want to too, I think farther than you, and I always want to build a Beijing-Guangzhou line as soon as possible. It's a pity that the Shiroku line is just an experiment, and the technology of steam locomotives, the technology of rail casting and laying, all still need to be explored, and it will not mature in more than ten years.

However, with the promotion of capital, the technology can naturally mature earlier, and if the country increases its efforts, this time may be shortened. So Li Xi approved Wu Yaluo's plan, which was originally subsidized by the state for the application of steam engines, but now it is to increase the quota and fully implement it in all industries.

Incidental to this case, Wu Yaluo's other suggestion was also recognized, that is, to follow the example of the Luofu Mountain Chemical Research Institute and establish the Dongguan Machinery Research Institute. Li Xi expressed this, realized his private goods, and built the "Truth Academy" again, fortunately, the ministers' understanding of "truth" was not the concept of Li Shi's previous life, so he didn't spit out any grooves about this name.

This "yamen", which is outside the imperial court system, studies the "theory of the way of heaven" such as the three principles of mechanics, and the core is the study of Gezhi. Everyone can see from the influence of steam engines and guns on industry and commerce and the military, and the prosperity of the two things is not only the victory of the utensils, but more importantly, the victory of the truth of the utensils. Yinghua is still learning Europa in this regard, and at this time it is time not to fall behind and catch up.

Seeing that Wu Yaluo had taken one or two million, and the emperor himself was "greedy" to take one or two million, and the others couldn't help it, Tang You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't forget what Jiangnan is doing, and settle it as soon as possible, so as not to make the hearts of the people in Jiangnan change again." ”

A group of Jiangnan people hurriedly agreed, but the Lingnan people all stinked.

This is talking about the matter of setting the capital, although the country is still arguing, but by this time, the emperor's intentions, and the foundation of a country have also been revealed, for a hundred years, Yinghua will eventually have to set the capital Jiangnan. It's just that now in order to appease the hearts of the people in Lingnan, it is just said that it is set up in Jiangnan.

Li Shi said: "Tokyo...... Well, it's okay, let's bid for planning with the Ministry of Works......"

The specific location of Jiangnan has been decided, that is, Longmen. Longmen was originally the entrance to the Anglo-Chinese connection to Jiangnan, and over the years, it has become an inseparable link between the two sides, and now it is about to be completed and become the Anglo-Chinese capital, and the name will be changed to Tokyo.

Dingdu Longmen disappointed many ministers who belonged to Jiangning and now changed their name to Jinling, but those people were basically Confucians, and they always wanted to restore the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that if they didn't do so, they couldn't inherit the Ming Dynasty. There are also some people who believe that Jinling Tiger is surrounded by dragon energy, and it is also conducive to perseverance.

In his opinion, Jinling was the unified capital of China only in the Ming Dynasty, and it was soon transferred to Beijing, there is no reason to say that Jinling has to be the capital to be regarded as Chenghua Zhengshuo, and Yinghua does not need to go to Chengqian Ming Zhengshuo. This Zhengshuo was abdicated by the Ming Dynasty and taken by Yinghua himself.

And what dragon qi this feng shui says. Li Xi is even more respectful. As for the "tiger standing on the dragon plate", this statement is the same as the thinking of many people who oppose the Dingdu Longmen, believing that the dragon gate is too close to the sea and difficult to defend. I didn't see the needs of Yinghua Dingdu.

Since ancient times, when the unification of China. The need to set the capital was based on the ease of maintaining his rule, and when Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, it was also because his rule was based in the north and not in the south.

The same is true of the reason that Yinghua made the capital of Jiangnan. Gangnam is not only home to the largest number of people. If the capital is still in Lingnan, the land of the Central Plains is too far away, and there will be too many obstacles to condense China into one.

But that's just the basics. The capital of Jiangnan is also to establish the core of China's future territory. That is, where to enter. Li Xianding was in Longmen, which was close to the sea, and the most welcoming thing was the navy, because they could see that this was a resolute attempt to follow the ocean route, and the South Seas were the bathtub of Yinghua, and the ocean would become Yinghua's backyard in the future. …,

In this pattern, defense is not the need of the national capital, to be honest, if Longmen is really defeated by foreign enemies in the future, then it will be the same as Li Xian's previous life, the Germans occupied London, Britain, and the Americans occupied Tokyo, Japan, it is already too defeated to be defeated, proving that the road of the British and Chinese countries has gone all the way, and it is time to change the regime.

It is still a long time to set up the capital in Tokyo, from the establishment of the CCB to the transfer of the center of power, and then to the official establishment of the capital, I am afraid that it will take ten years, and now it is only for the Ministry of Industry to invite bids for advance planning, including pre-acquisition of land, which naturally requires a lot of costs.

Although the Lingnan people were dissatisfied, most of the court were Jiangnan people, and when they thought that it should be ten years later, the dissatisfaction was suppressed.

Tang Youzeng's efficiency was far better than that of the first two groups of people, and he took away 800,000 yuan in one sentence.

The others were anxious, and Cai Meng, the secretary of the Ministry of Medicine, hurriedly pulled out the opium matter, although Yinghua strictly banned drugs, and the two companies in Nanyang and Western also basically rectified the opium industry in the past two years, pouring the disaster on Tianzhu in the west, Korea in the east, and even the Manchu Qing in the north. But the smugglers still can't ban it, the harm of opium, in the country and in the countries that have joined the anti-drug federation are still a headache, the Ministry of Medicine is responsible for pre-release and drug rehabilitation, while now a country has spare strength, Cai Langzhong wants to set off an anti-drug **.

Fan Jin was still going to grab words, but when he saw that he was talking about this, he also shut up, which coincided with one thing he wanted to talk about, that is, to use the anti-drug thing to enter the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Behind Cai Langzhong, there is also the Yingci Temple and even the Heavenly Temple, this year's budget has already been prepared, the fourteenth year of the Holy Dao, the national income is 90 million, and the plate has been divided early. Everyone is sharing the extra windfall due to the Jiangnan incident, about seven or eight million, and the balance is more, and Li Shi has divided another 800,000 in this matter.

Then Su Wencai, Xiao Sheng and Xie Chengze spoke at the same time, and Su Wencai was talking about expanding the army. In the past two years, the Anglo-Chinese army has been continuously downsized, and the people have been pressed on the colonial army and the volunteer army, and it is not easy to recover after the war; many officers and men have won military merits and rewards, and they have all been transferred to the army as civilian people, and they have not made preparations in advance, and in case a major war breaks out in two or three years, they will have to toss retired veterans, and this can easily hurt the hearts of the people.

Xiao Sheng is also talking about the expansion of the army, but the focus is on the navy, the British and the French in the Western Ocean, especially Tianzhu activities are becoming more and more frequent, it is difficult to say that a big war will break out. The navy has suffered for several years, and it should live a good life, be strong and strong, and be ready to fight the Europeans at any time.

Xie Chengze said more specifically, the Mughal Dynasty in Tianzhu has been in turmoil in recent years, and the Europa and Persians are taking advantage of the situation to invade.

Li Xi suddenly asked: "What about Siberia?" Our Yubayashi Lang has just won a great victory over the Mongols in Juyan. ”

Song Ji smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is asking the ministers and others about this matter in the middle court." ”

Xiao Sheng and Chen Rice also chuckled, Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the gambling contract he had with his son before, but he didn't expect this kid to be so serious......

Xiao Sheng said: "It's better to agree on this matter early, so that Your Highness doesn't have to be embarrassed anymore." ”

Li Shi also smiled, that kid should already know what is difficult about the affairs of the military.

Speaking of Siberia, Chen Wance made a straight face: "The minister is still the old discussion, it is okay to go west and south, but it is not worth it to go north." ”

Tang Youzeng and others nodded, but it was not Song Ji and Xiao Sheng who jumped out to oppose it, but Fan Jin: "The minister thinks that other directions are still secondary, the Rakshasa people bewitch the Mongols and can't, it is difficult to guarantee that they want to bewitch the Manchus, and then maybe my Chinese righteousness will be broken by this fang, the Rakshasa is my first foreign enemy, and it must not be underestimated!" ”

Tang You had waited for the Yingru faction to fight back, and it was one thing to think about it, but whether he could do it was another thing.

Li Xian said: "It seems that what we have to discuss first is, what are the ways to seek foreign affairs, taking Siberia as an example, can we find a way to occupy it without spending national strength." ”

He glanced at everyone and asked, "Who has an opinion?" ”

Xie Chengze got up and said: "Chen Run, the general secretary of the courtier's subordinate to the DPRK, recently talked about the policies of Korea and Japan, including the theory of Siberia, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

Chen Run...... The head of the Tongshiguan Royal Road Society, the pioneer of "royal Taoism" in the country, and the number one advocate of Chinese hegemony?

Li Xian smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Let's listen to him...... talk." ）
