Chapter 592: World Currency

The town hall next to the Governor's Palace was also to be renovated to serve as the office of the future Batavian Autonomous Government.

Construction of Batavia's unfinished fortifications will continue, wages will be paid by the Military Commission, and a road from the port to the city will be widened.

Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the Governor's Palace, Wang Yue could overlook the city. This city, which does not have many high-rise buildings, gives more impression of being dilapidated and backward.

In a corner of the city, you can see a large area of low buildings, which is called a slum. The people who live there are some local indigenous people. The overall impression of this country is that the natives here are lazy.

Overseas Chinese can get rich here, not only by wisdom, but mainly by the tradition of hard work and hard work. The accumulated wealth has become the trigger for disaster. The experience of the vast majority of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia is mostly bloodstained.

Therefore, the current work of the first self-government was to investigate and liquidate the Dutch who had committed crimes against the Chinese in Batavia.

This measure was also carried out in Manila, but because the Dutch surrendered unconditionally, and Wang Yue had guaranteed their lives, these people would be sentenced to 20 years of hard labor, and eventually more than 130 people would be sentenced.

Wang Yue turned around and saw Davis, father and daughter, standing in the doorway with an expression of awe on their faces. What should come is always coming, and Wang Yue knows that he has been waiting for an opportunity. The collective surrender of overseas Chinese brought Wang Yue not only resources, but also intelligence.

Davis had a small bank in the city, and the funds were no more than 100,000 silver coins. Don't underestimate this asset, it is a huge amount of money in this era, and in order to keep the property, Davis did not hesitate to give his daughter.

Now it seems that the daughter still made this man interested, which is a good start, and with this beginning, the following things are easy to speak. Of course, the delivery has not yet been completed, which makes Davis somewhat disappointed with his daughter. Privately told her that in order to keep a rich life, take the initiative and be more active. Perhaps, this was an opportunity for Davis's family to go from a small banker to a big banker.

He was a small banker because he could only open a small bank in Batavia. Now that this bank has been taken over by the military, the first thing we have to think of is to get it back. Other big banks, all of them have offices here. Unlike him, all his net worth was smashed in. If he had just started to curry favor with Wang Yue with the intention of keeping his belongings, now he has other ideas.

"You may be seated, you two!" Davis has the role of Davis, in fact, Wang Yue also needs Davis's cooperation.

The current European banking model has taken shape as a modern bank, so Wang Yue believes that Davis can easily accept the business model of the starting city bank. Wang Yue believes that with the economic strength of the starting point city as the backing, the starting point city silver dollar bills will eventually become the world currency.

"Your Excellency, I am willing to be your most humble servant, and I ask you to accept this loyalty." Davis didn't understand Wang Yue's thoughts, what he needed now was to take refuge in order to keep his property. For the object that can kill and kill himself, he can't be too humble. Not to mention, it is likely that a soaring Cotai Avenue is in front of you. As for the country and the nation or something, people in this era really don't care. Can it be eaten as a meal? This thing, it's a little bit pulled, it's better to hold the thick leg in front of you.

"Wanghai City needs a bank, by the way, Batavia, this is the new name given to the city by this official. This bank, as a branch of our Daming Imperial Bank, is independent in accounting and relatively independent in status. Let's put it this way, it's more like a partnership relationship. The main purpose of this bank is to form an exchange network with the head office of Daming. To give you an example, when a check is drawn from here, it goes to another bank in Daming, and the bank there acknowledges the check written by the bank here. If I am not mistaken, the principal of your bank here is worth about 100,000 silver coins, and I will invest another 9.9 million silver coins to make up the whole number, and you will be the general manager. Questions? Oh yes, this branch, you have a 10 percent stake. ”

The starting point city bank has been renamed the Imperial Bank, this name has not received any opposition from the Chongzhen Emperor, the Ming court has a vague concept of the bank, always considered to be a big bank, the right to issue currency is also recognized by the imperial court.

As soon as Wang Yue's words fell, Davis directly leaned down, kissed Wang Yue's shoes, and shouted: "My master, your kindness is comparable to God." "The thrill of a man who was about to go bankrupt suddenly becomes a millionaire is too intense. Judy, who was originally standing on the side and watching, also knelt down. Life has its ups and downs, but that's it!

Davis's undisciplined behavior made Wang Yue speechless. In fact, what he doesn't know is that because this time and space is not a legal society, and other people's lives are in his hands, what is the festival? What's more, Wang Yue was so generous that he gave Davis ten percent of the shares.

Shares are power, this is just a small share of the institutions of the Imperial Bank, Wang Yue needs Davis's overseas development.

In fact, Wang Yue's principal was also seized, and Batavia's biggest result was not this city, but the underground treasury of the Governor's Palace. There were two tons of gold and as many as ten tons of silver. With such a huge fortune, Wang Yue did not intend to transport it all back, the gold would definitely have to be shipped away, and the silver would be used as the principal of the bank and the operating capital of the autonomous government.

The silver yuan coupon will be the only settlement currency for foreign trade in the Ming region, to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty, you must exchange it for the silver yuan coupon before you can buy it, otherwise it is illegal, which is also another main purpose of the Tiance army to control the South Seas.

To control the South Seas, it is necessary to control the Strait of Malacca. The name of Malacca originated from the establishment of the Manchurian state in the second year of Yongle by the Ming Dynasty, and since the beginning of the Yongle period, the name of the Ming Dynasty for this place has always been Manchurian.

But in the sixth year of Ming Wuzong Zhengde, the Portuguese occupied the capital of the Manchurian state, that is, the city of Malacca in later generations, the king of Manchurian Jiajia repeatedly asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming court only threatened to detain the Portuguese envoys, and did not send any army to support, so the Manchurian Jiajia perished, and then for more than 100 years, Malacca has been under the control of Portugal, and the Ming Dynasty has since become extinct in Nanyang.
