In the second year of the Han Dynasty, a political turmoil occurred in September, and outsiders did not understand what the situation was, so it quickly calmed down, in this turmoil, it seems that only Cao Tianci was punished, and the Military Justice Department under the Supervision Yuan was divided and became a separate military court, directly under the leadership of the Ministry of War, and Cao Tianci himself was severely reprimanded by the King of Han, and was punished for three months behind closed doors. And with the Han king's trust in Cao Tianci, after a short period of closed-door thinking, it is only a matter of time before it is revived.

However, in October, Sihai Commerce and Trade announced its reorganization, and the huge Sihai Commerce and Trade was divided into dozens of single industry associations, each of which had previously dreamed of autonomy, and Cao Tiancheng, the former boss of Sihai Commerce, was transferred to the newly established Minister of Commerce.

This sudden blow beat everyone to the point that they didn't wake up, Wu Kai, the county guard of Jishi County, stepped down and was promoted to the political affairs hall to discuss the government, and the county guard of Jishi County was replaced by Xu Yong.

It was only at this time that everyone came to their senses, whether it was Cao Tiancheng or Wu Kai, although they all seemed to be promoted, the real power in their hands was firmly deprived.

The fact that the Fufeng Department was dealt a heavy blow in this battle made all the officials within the Han Dynasty frightened, the Fufeng Department was a subordinate of the Han King, once he made a mistake, the Han King was still like a thunderbolt and lightning, merciless, not to mention them, anything that challenged the authority of the Han Dynasty seemed to be a dangerous move.

Everyone is speculating about what the Fufeng family has done to make the Han King Thunder angry, but the people involved are silent, and the few people who know are all the core elites of the Han Kingdom, and everyone does not dare to ask about it, so they can only discuss it in private.

Gao Yuan naturally didn't care what other people thought about this matter, in his opinion, this was just a small communication between him and Fufeng's old subordinates, and Cao Tiancheng's transfer was just because the four seas business needed to move forward at a greater pace, so the reform was imperative, and Wu Kai, who had been in Jishi County for too long, and was also old, transferred back to Jicheng, just so that old friends could get along more, so as not to be far away and have a gap.

His attention was now all about the central bank and the issuance of banknotes.

"Your Majesty, the biggest danger of paper money circulation is counterfeiting, so we spend the most thought on this, please see, this is the paper we prepare for the issuance of paper money, this paper is all made of bamboo as raw materials, in terms of texture, far better than other papers on the market, and the gentlemen of the Department of Chemistry of Jicheng Comprehensive University used several minerals to make a synthetic liquid to rinse this paper twice, so that this paper surface presents a special metallic luster, and the hardness is greatly increased." Mei Yipo kneaded the paper cut into a rectangular shape in his hand for a while, and after re-unfolding, the paper was still relatively shiny, and there were no obvious wrinkles, and the combination of these two things has made the possibility of counterfeiting extremely difficult, and when we print banknotes, we will also add other anti-counterfeiting means inside, and strive to make the misconspiracy not take advantage of it."

Gao Yuan nodded: "You have been very careful, but the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes, you must be careful and careful, if it can be forged by outsiders, if it is a small scale, but if it is a large-scale, the blow to the national economy will not be underestimated."

"Wang Shang rest assured, at present, there are no more than five companies that have the technical ability to manufacture this kind of paper in the entire Han Kingdom, and these five will become our paper suppliers, of course, we will also strengthen their monitoring and where the security forces are, in this regard, Zhang Yi, vice president of the Supervision Yuan, has begun to intervene in the early stage, as for the anti-counterfeiting means, several gentlemen of the comprehensive university have signed a confidentiality agreement, and they have destroyed the formula for secondary treatment of paper. The technology is entirely in the hands of our central bank itself." Mei Yipo nodded.

"Legislation must also keep up!" Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Jiaquan: "Anyone who counterfeits banknotes will be punished severely, severely, and quickly!"

"The Great Council has organized a small discussion, and the first draft is now almost finalized, with a view to publishing it before the banknotes go into circulation." Jiang Jiaquan replied.

"Okay, it seems that everything is well coordinated." Gao Yuan looked at everyone with a smile, "President Mei, how much are you going to issue this time?"

Mei Yipo looked at Wang Wuyan and said with a smile: "Minister Wang's gold and silver reserves are currently 10 million taels of silver, and I am ready to issue them with a triple surplus, and for the first time I will issue a total of 30 million taels of banknotes with a market value, with the largest denomination of 100 taels and the smallest denomination of 5 taels, a total of 100 taels, 50 taels, 10 taels, 5 taels, 1 tael, 100 taels, 50 taels, 10 taels, 5 taels, 1 tael, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 1 tael, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 taels, 10 ta Mei Yipo turned around and took a tray from the hand of a person behind him, which contained patterns of ten denomination banknotes.

Triple the surplus! Gao Yuan grinned, when the 30 million taels of silver banknotes entered the market, it meant that his Han Dynasty would soon become rich. Money will no longer be an issue.

"This matter, Mei Yipi and Wang Wuyan and the two of you work closely together, I hope to complete this matter this year." Gao Yuan waved his hand: "I won't ask about the specific process anymore, I only look at the results."

"The ministers will not disappoint the king!" Wang Wuchang and Mei Yipo patted their chests and said.

Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Jiaquan and said with a smile: "I am now looking forward to the rapid circulation of paper money, when our trade with the Qin State is fully liberalized, with paper money, the gold and silver of the Qin people will flow to our Han on a large scale, haha, sir, you said that above a certain distance, is this more effective than war?"

"The Qin people will soon find out about our trick!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said: "The issuance of this banknote is not only plundering the wealth of the enemy, but also the wealth of our own people."

"As long as the Han is strong and the country's credit is strong, there is no need to worry that your own people will rebel because of this!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "But if you want the enemy to obey, I'm afraid that you will have to use a lot of means, and the political hall will have to cooperate more with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank in this regard."

"This subordinate understands!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded. Monetary economic war, which is also a new topic for Jiang Jiaquan, but with the establishment of the central bank, with the imminent issuance of paper money, he also slightly glimpsed the threshold of this, this is a bloodless war, of course, in the end it must end in bloodshed. Thinking about his senior brother in the Qin Kingdom, now, he would never know how powerful the Han Kingdom issued banknotes and began to circulate.

With the current strong economy and national strength of the Han Dynasty, paper money will inevitably circulate in the near future, not only in the territory of the Han Dynasty, but also spread along the footsteps of the Han merchants, and the final result is that the gold and silver of the Qin people will flow to the treasury of the Han Dynasty little by little, and the Qin people are holding the paper money of the Han people.

After sending Jiang Jiaquan and the others away, Ye Zhong and others from the military department had been waiting for Gao Yuan for a long time. However, Gao Yuan summoned Ye Chong and they were in the Qinzheng Palace, in the center of the main hall, there was a huge sand table, Ye Chong, Qin Lei and a few staff officers were standing next to the sand table.

Gao Yuan appeared in the main hall with He Weiyuan.

"Within this year, I want the state of Chu to bend its knees to my great han." Gao Yuan held the edge of the sand table with both hands, "This battle has been fought for nearly half a year, and it is said that the Chu people are cowardly, but this time King Chu Huai is very strong, and he has not shown any intention of giving up until now."

Ye Zhong pointed to the sand table: "Your Majesty, the reason why King Chu Huai is still very tough is because until now, we still have no way to take their Kangping City. Kangping City is our gateway to open the Chu State, but the attack is still up to now, Kangping City is still standing still, the general of the Chu State Qu Wan is experienced, and Qu Zheng keeps sending troops, along Kangping City, we have set a chain defense, this defensive line is like a snake, you poke any of them, he will bounce a few bullets, move a few times, carelessly, he will open his mouth to bite you, and the only most effective attack is to Kangping City, but this Kangping City is also too difficult to fight."

"It seems that this is expected that we have no confidence in the battle, and we are worried about too many casualties, so we have set up such a position, hehe, but now this is not difficult for us. Kangping City, I must fight."

Ye Zhong looked at Gao Yuan, "Your Majesty, do you want to use that thing?"

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "It's time to let him move a little, the Yizhen Research Institute has produced a total of 1,000 kilograms of this thing in the past few months, and this time, all of them will be transported to Meng Chong."

"A thousand kilograms?" Ye Chong's face changed color. The last time I was in the Yizhen Research Institute, there was such a terrifying explosion a little bit, and the next few times, as the secretary of the military department, he also went to observe it in person, and he was apprehensive about the power of this thing.

"Yes, since you want to make a little noise, you naturally have to make an earth-shattering sound, and you want to make the world shocked." Gao Yuan laughed. But in this transportation process, you have to be careful, there will be a group of researchers from the Yizhen Research Institute to follow you to protect the safety of these things on the road, and at the same time, they will also teach the soldiers the skills of using him along the way, so Ye Chong, the soldiers escorted this time have to choose the smarter."

Ye Chong's face flashed with dazzling brilliance, "Your Majesty, this time, I want to go in person. As the secretary of the military department of the Han Dynasty, I don't want to be absent from such a historic moment."

"If you like to go, you will go!" Gao Yuan waved his hand disappreciatively, "This is just the most primitive application of this thing, you see, this thing will shine in the future." Because of his appearance, the war in this world will be changed because of this!" (To be continued......)
