Chapter 139: Leapfrog Development (Thanks to Xinchen, OKOK, Mengmengda and other book friends for their monthly passes)

"Huh! Tang Guangqiang, this looks spectacular, right? ”

Hao Shaoqi pointed to the distance in front of him with his big hand, and said proudly to Tang Guangqiang, the brigade commander of the artillery brigade of the Greedy Wolf Legion beside him.

"It's spectacular."

Tang Guangqiang also had to admit that the black head in the distance that could not be seen at a glance was really shocking.

"I'm afraid, the civil and military officials and inferior gentry in Xi'an City are almost scared to death, right?"

Tang Guangqiang, who had two big buckteeth, was very obscene and malicious.

He was a real lewd man.

This guy especially likes to command the artillery team to bombard the enemy's ass when the enemy is fleeing!

In his words, what he likes to see most is the veritable appearance of the enemy.

This guy who is just sixteen years old is the son of an Orion in the Changbai Mountains of eastern Liaodong, and he is a real barbarian who came out of the deep mountains and old forests.

In his own village, after being plagued by the Tartars, he became an orphan and wandered around to survive.

He was also inadvertently found and taken in by the scouts, and noticed that he had an unusual gift and love for artillery, and specially brought him back to the capital.

Gifted, he was quickly promoted and made a fortune in the selection mode of the Guards Scouts, and soon became the brigade commander of the artillery brigade of the Greedy Wolf Legion.

Although he had only recently joined the Guards Scouts, he admired His Majesty the Emperor very much.

After the Fourth Route Army entered Shaanxi, because they had sufficient time and sufficient troops, Hao Shaoqi and Hong'er acted in strict accordance with Zhu Youxiao's instructions.

After quietly encircling the entire Shaanxi border artery from all directions, their four divisions carried out the order to the end without haste.

Wherever the army passed, people, money, food and materials were gathered together, and each division and regiment attacked the city and conquered the territory while vigorously promoting the two basic national policies of the Ming Empire.

One by one, the huge construction brigades were quickly formed, and they really advanced synchronously with the armies of all walks of life.

Wherever the super official road and the big farm are built, the four-way army will sweep away.

This is also the reason why it took them more than a month to control the entire Shaanxi except Xi'an City.

Like now, the number of people who have exceeded 10 million people in the Shaanxi branch of the Rao Royal Construction Company has fully completed all the major official roads in Shaanxi!

Even the new ecological farms on both sides of the super official road have been built in thousands!

In addition to the eight million people in front of them, they are still building the last ten miles of the official road from the four corners of Xi'an City.

There are also millions of people who have been arranged in various newly built ecological farms, racing against time to carry out spring planting and breeding work.

Yes, this Shaanxi region is already a latecomer, and in all aspects, it has exceeded the development speed of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Liaoshen Great Plain.

There is great power in numbers, and the same is true in ancient and modern times.

Judging from this scale, this year alone, the harvest of various crops, livestock, poultry, fish, and meat from these thousands of large farms in Shaanxi will be able to supply more than 10 million people in the whole of Shaanxi, and they will be open for consumption for more than a year.

In the past month or so, the entire Shaanxi region has really undergone earth-shaking changes, which makes people smack.

This is also the reason why Hao Shaoqi is so proud now.

However, no matter how proud he is, he can't compare to the fat dun of Rao Min, the deputy commander of the Seven Killing Legion.

That fat dun is the real demon!

This fat dun, with his own strength, led 30,000 people of the 102nd Division to form a 300,000 regimental training army in Shanxi, and also set up more than 10 million Rao Royal Construction Company Shanxi Branch!

He even completed the construction of the main super official road and big farm in Shanxi a few days earlier than this Shaanxi!

Now in Shanxi, there are thousands of super ecological 10,000 acres of farms!

That, now it is still preparing to connect Daguan Road and Da Farm to all the towns and surrounding areas in Shanxi!

Rao Min's fat dun is really a mind and guts, and he is so big that he is an incredible demon!

A few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an order to reward Rao Min's fat dun.

His Majesty has even made it clear that after the control and transformation of this great northwest is fully completed, the Guards Scouts will be upgraded to the Royal Guards Army!

Rao Min, that fat dun, is already a proper reserve leader of the Seven Killings Legion.

Stimulated by Na Rao Min's fat dun, the current Hao Shaoqi and Hong'er, who only realized it a few days ago, began to form a 300,000 Rao regiment training army to carry out the local law and order maintenance work in the entire Shaanxi.

This time the army went out, Rao Min alone compared all the generals, so that these corps commanders and division commanders were not stimulated one by one.

Everyone secretly swore in their hearts that in the future, Lao Tzu's head should also be flexible, and he must not be preoccupied with the beauty of that fat dun!

……

"Your Majesty!"

In the capital, by the Yuquan River, near the large dock of the Royal Academy of Sciences, several reciprocating steam engines were roaring, and Sun Yuanhua shouted to Zhu Youxiao on the side with great joy.

"Your Majesty, come and see, these are the three new coins that the Empire has officially finalized."

He took a few coins from the three wooden boxes next to him, and said to Zhu Youxiao happily.

These three coins were just pressed from the molds that had been driven by three steam engines.

With a mature steam engine, the numismatic improvement work that had been plaguing Zhu Youxiao was perfectly solved.

Powerful mechanical power to press out the perfect coin with the material ratio is simpler.

Moreover, this style of imperial coin could not be imitated by others within a few decades.

Without true semi-automatic power, it would be impossible to counterfeit these most beautiful Empire's latest coins.

"Well, bring it to me."

Zhu Youxiao was very happy, took the three coins handed over by Sun Yuanhua in his hand, and looked at them carefully.

Sure enough, the quality of this extremely powerful mechanical pressed coin was much better than that of the original copper coins.

Zhu Youxiao also referred to those coins of later generations to design the current three coins.

There are three types of copper coins: one penny, five wen and ten wen.

One of them is almost as big as the current copper coins, and the five-penny one is much larger, and weighs five times as much as the one-penny.

The ten-dollar one is even bigger, and it is twice as heavy as the five-dollar one.

Silver coins are divided into three types: one tael, five taels, and ten taels, which are roughly equivalent to the grading pattern of copper coins.

Gold coins are graded in the same way as silver coins, and the style and weight are not much different from silver coins.

Gold and silver coins are based on taels, while copper coins are based on text.

The patterns of the three coins are the same, and they are all pressed from these three metals.

These coins themselves contain almost the same value of gold, silver and copper, but with the addition of some other metals to increase hardness and wear resistance, and will never depreciate.

They are truly strong currencies, and they are not at all comparable to the string of numbers in the banknotes and banks of the world in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to be so complicated, and he didn't want to print his avatar on it.

Just kidding, put your profile picture on it, and don't want to go out and surf around in the future.

When people look at it, they know that you are the emperor, not only is your security not guaranteed, but you will inevitably be annoyed!

Printing your own face on the new coins of the Empire is very refreshing, but it is not necessary at all.

If the Ming Empire is not strong, it is useless to mythologize itself, and if the empire is strong enough, there is no need to use such superficial things.

A great emperor, it's better to keep it mysterious.

One side of the three coins was pressed out of the mold to produce four equilateral characters of Da Ming and Qi.

On the other side is a lifelike five-clawed dragon in the clouds, as well as the symmetrical composition of the two words sun and moon.

Around both sides of the coin is a plum blossom pattern, and the edges are also toothed to prevent counterfeiting and wear and tear.

These three coins are easy to recognize, easy to remember, and simple and clear, and generous.

The urgent need for coins was solved, and Zhu Youxiao prepared to establish at least one Ming Royal Bank in all the towns and cities under the control of the imperial court, in order to standardize the currency reform and facilitate the transactions of the general public.

Naturally, the deposit and loan business should also be gradually improved.

There is no electronic calculation, but there is no problem with mechanical power, after development, pressing and engraving a kind of anti-counterfeiting and waterproof passbook.

There is no way, in the history of the Ming Empire, there are no silver tickets and ticket numbers, only the treasure banknotes issued by the government a few years ago, but they were soon abolished because of indiscriminate issuance and easy imitation and wear.

In Zhu Youxiao's previous life, he was very funny when he watched various histories and movies and TV series.

Those people just took out a stack of silver tickets at every turn!

You must know that in the history of China, only after the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace, the foreigners opened the gate of China and entered the country of China, and only then did they open the neighboring silver filial piety ticket number model, and only then did they have the financial awareness of silver tickets, ticket numbers, and banks.

In the previous thousands of years of history, except for the Song Dynasty issued some Jiaozi in Shu and quickly abandoned, at most plus the middle and late Ming Dynasty issued short-lived treasure banknotes, at any other time, there was no such thing as silver tickets and ticket numbers.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, only a very small number of large merchants would choose to use a large amount of tickets to trade bulk materials with each other, and ordinary people all traded with cash.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao must change this extremely unhealthy financial transaction model as soon as possible in order to give wings to the take-off of the Ming Empire.

Otherwise, it is really unreasonable for a veritable kingdom to go up without its own special coins.

The real kingdom of the dynasty must crush all foreign races in all aspects, which is the ideal style of the kingdom of the dynasty.
