Chapter 203: Tang Yuan Release
After the defeat of the two encirclement and suppression fleets of the Noomi Royal Navy, the Noomi Royal Navy immediately withdrew all the remaining encirclement and suppression fleets to various military ports of the Noomi Empire.
The Admiralty of the Noomi Empire immediately issued an order that the various detachments of the Noomi Royal Navy must strictly guard the military ports to guard against the surprise attack of the Tang Empire Navy, which means that the Noomi Empire gave almost all of the coastal control to the broken fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.
Noomi Royal Navy, which has finally recovered some vitality, lost twenty capital ships in this battle, including five ocean-class super dreadnought battleships, five fighter-class battlecruisers and two dreadnought battleships, such a big loss has made the Noomi Empire's admiralty dare not send an encirclement fleet again, so as to avoid falling into the trap of the Tang Empire's navy.
After the accident of the Noomi Royal Navy, Yingluoba and Salad immediately recalled all the warships sent out to encircle and suppress the Tang Empire Navy's Broken Fleet, and recalled all the military ports, so that the coastal control of these two countries basically fell into the hands of the Royal Navy's Broken Fleet of the Tang Empire.
Although the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire did not send a fleet to the waters near Gisk and Orenza, the main force of the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has been circling the coasts of these two countries, which is equivalent to blockading the coasts of these two countries.
And the Monia Navy and the Ruierlan Navy have both suffered heavy losses, and they will not pose any threat to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire in a short period of time.
In this way, for a long time in the future, the sea supremacy will be firmly controlled by the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.
Compared with the overall superiority at sea, on land, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire and the army of the Seven Nations Alliance are still in a stalemate.
At present, on land, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire and the Army of the Seven Nations Alliance mainly have three battlefields, the largest battlefield is in the border area adjacent to the Tang Empire and the Sharad Empire, and the other two are in the border area adjacent to the Tang Empire and the Orenza Empire, as well as the border area adjacent to the Tang Empire and the Jisk Empire.
All three battlefields have now evolved into positional warfare, and although the armies of both sides have tried various methods, they still cannot break through the opponent's defenses.
On the morning of June 9, 3014 in the Tang calendar, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Su Yi smiled and said to Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and Zhang Qihui, deputy commander-in-chief: "The Royal Navy fought well this time, and at a very small cost, it once again hit the Noomi Navy, not only sank two super dreadnought battleships and one battle cruiser of the Noomi Navy, but also captured three super dreadnought battleships and four battle cruisers of the Noomi Navy. Even the Yingroba Navy and the Sharad Navy have all retreated into the various military ports, and they no longer dare to encircle and suppress them. ”
Wang Chengliang said loudly: "Our Royal Navy was able to achieve this great victory, thanks to those Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and Hood-class battlecruisers that His Majesty secretly added to our Royal Navy, which made the Noomi Navy suffer a big loss. ”
Zhang Qihui followed and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that after this great victory, the three fleets of our Royal Navy will definitely be able to completely block the maritime trade of Yingluoba, Noomi and Sharad, and cut off an important source of wealth for these three countries. ”
Su Yi heard Zhang Qihui mention the word "financial resources", and then turned to Prime Minister Xu Haoming and asked, "Haoming, how is the restructuring of the Royal Bank?" ”
At this time, in the Hall of Virtue, more than a dozen important ministers of the military and government of the Tang Empire gathered.
Xu Haoming immediately said: "Your Majesty, the restructuring of the Royal Bank has been completed, and at present, the Datang Royal Bank has become the only bank in our Datang Empire, with more than 6,000 branches, covering the provincial capitals of each province in our Datang Empire, the county capital of each county and the county seat of each county, with a total deposit value of hundreds of billions of silver dollars, and the deficit of the Royal Bank has basically been filled. ”
The current Datang Royal Bank has swallowed up the original Purple Moon Imperial Royal Bank, the Celestial Star Imperial Royal Bank, the Liuyun Imperial Royal Bank, and the private banks opened by some nobles of the Celestial Star Empire and the Liuyun Empire, making the Datang Imperial Imperial Bank truly a behemoth.
Su Yi nodded slightly, and then asked, "Haoming, how is the Royal Bank preparing for the issuance of large banknotes and new small banknotes?" ”
"Your Majesty, according to your orders, the Royal Bank has hoarded almost seven thousand tons of gold, and has printed one and three hundred hundred billion Tang Yuan banknotes, the largest face value of Tang Yuan is one hundred yuan, and the smallest face value is one cent, as long as Your Majesty agrees, the Royal Bank can now issue Tang Yuan to the outside world, and the exchange of paper money Tang Yuan and Silver Yuan will be maintained at one to one."
Su Yi then said: "Seven thousand tons of gold is still not enough, since our Tang Yuan of the Tang Empire wants to change to the implementation of the gold system, then we need to let the Royal Bank reserve some gold, and the Royal Bank should not stop buying gold, but since so many banknotes have been printed, let Tang Yuan officially come out!" ”
At this time, Shi Jian, the vice premier of the cabinet, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, now that our Tang Empire and the Seven Nations Alliance are still at war, will it be a little hasty to issue banknotes at this time?" The minister was worried that the people did not trust paper money. ”
Su Yi said with a smile: "The people's confidence in large banknotes needs to be cultivated slowly, as long as the Royal Bank can ensure the free exchange between banknotes and silver dollars, and even silver and gold, over time, the people will definitely accept Tang Yuan." ”
After a pause, Su Yi continued: "Originally, the Royal Bank had been preparing to issue large banknotes and new small banknotes, and it was precisely because of the war with the Seven Nations Alliance that the Royal Bank postponed the issuance of large banknotes and new small banknotes, and now our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has completely controlled the sea dominance, and on land, our Royal Army of the Tang Empire has also blocked the army of the Seven Nations Alliance from the territory of our Tang Empire, so I think that the issuance of banknotes does not need to wait any longer." ”
In fact, Su Yi is anxious to issue large banknotes and new small banknotes, the most important reason is that the military expenditure of the Tang Empire is too large now, not to mention the construction of all aspects of the Tang Empire, and has not slowed down because of the war, although Su Yi's family can still support it for a long time, but this war with the Seven Nations Alliance does not know when it will end, and the issuance of large banknotes and new small banknotes can immediately solve the problem of insufficient funds in the Tang Empire.
He Yunfei, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our Royal Army is confident that it can keep the enemy out of the country, otherwise the army of the Seven Nations Alliance will destroy the economic construction of our Tang Empire." ”
In the end, Su Yi said conclusively: "The matter of issuing Tang Yuan is decided, and in the future, the army's military salaries, as well as the salaries of government officials at all levels and all employees of royal enterprises, and even the procurement of the government and the army, will all use paper money." ”
On June 15, 3014 in the Tang calendar, the banknotes known as Tang Yuan were officially issued to the people of the Tang Empire, probably because Su Yi's prestige was too high, and the people of the Tang Empire accepted the large banknotes and new small banknotes very quickly, and even caught Su Yi off guard.
In the savings bank of a Datang Royal Bank in Changyang County, Pingfu County, Southern Hebei Province, the Tang Empire, a strong man in his forties lined up in the flow of people doing business, turned his head and said to a young man who was less than fourteen or five years old behind him: "Sanbao, you listen to your uncle, take money for a while, you don't need to ask for silver dollars, just ask for Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan is now the same as silver dollars, you can use it anywhere, and Tang Yuan is a paper money, it is also convenient to hold, and when you finish withdrawing the money, Uncle will accompany you to the hospital to hand over the money." ”
The young man showed a hint of hesitation on his face, "Uncle Chengcai, the money remitted by the eldest brother and the second brother, but my father's life-saving money, can the hospital accept paper money?" ”
The strong man patted his chest and said, "Sanbao, don't worry!" Paper money can be used in restaurants in the county, not to mention in the hospital, you must know that the first royal hospital in Changyang County, where your father lives, is the same as the royal bank, it is the property of the emperor and his old man, how can it not accept paper money! ”
At this time, a young man in his twenties behind the boy said with a smile: "This little brother, you can rest assured!" The Tang Yuan issued by our Tang Empire can be exchanged for silver dollars, even silver and gold at any time in the Royal Bank, which is absolutely strong! ”
After listening to the words of the strong man and the young man, the young man felt that the eyes of many people in the savings bank were focused on him, and the young man's face couldn't help but be a little red, and he hurriedly said: "I will also take Tang Yuan in that moment, and then go to the hospital to pay my father's hospitalization fee." ”
The young man then whispered with a little worry: "I don't know if the two hundred and eighty Tang Yuan remitted by the eldest brother and the second brother this time are enough for my father's hospitalization fee, I heard that the hospitalization fee is expensive." ”
The strong man then said comfortingly: "Sanbao, this time your uncle Chengcai also brought the family's passbook, and there are three hundred pieces of silver on it...... Now it should be three hundred Tang Yuan, if the military salary of Dabao and Erbao is not enough, Uncle Chengcai will help your father pay the hospitalization fee first. ”
The young man immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Chengcai, if you use Uncle Chengcai to advance money, and wait for my eldest brother and second brother to remit their military salaries in the future, I will return it to Uncle Chengcai immediately." ”
The strong man said with a smile: "Your father and I also grew up with bare butts together, not to mention that your eldest brother and second brother both responded to the emperor's call to join the army, I heard that your eldest brother and second brother have made meritorious contributions on the front line, but they have won glory for our Gejia Village, how can our Gejia Village ignore your father!" Don't forget, your Uncle Chengcai is the company commander of our Gejia Village Militia Company! ”
The young man behind the boy suddenly asked, "Little brother, have your two elder brothers joined the army?" ”
The boy said with some pride: "My eldest brother and second brother both joined the Royal Army, and now my eldest brother is already a platoon commander, my second brother has also become a squad leader, and my eldest brother has also won a bronze medal." ”
When the young man heard this, he immediately said, "Little brother, have you reported to the hospital?" According to the military benefits currently promulgated by our Tang Empire, the immediate family members of active military personnel can reduce a lot of fees in the hospital, maybe your father will not need to spend too much money when he is hospitalized, and only need to go through some procedures. ”
The young man's eyes lit up, "This big brother, is there really such a good thing?" ”
The strong man also asked urgently: "Can the hospital really reduce the cost of medical treatment for military families?" ”
The young man nodded affirmatively and said: "I work in the Changyang County Finance Bureau, I have read the documents in this regard, anyway, today I asked for leave, after we withdraw the money in a while, I will take you to go through the procedures, it should be faster, in addition, even if you are not a military family, you may also apply for poor medical subsidies, there are many diseases, and the hospital will treat patients from poor families for free." ”
The boy scratched his head and said, "My family can't be considered poor, so my father didn't allow me to apply for poor medical subsidies before." ”
Although the young man said that the hospital could reduce a lot of expenses for the immediate family members of active duty soldiers, the strong man still took out the 300 yuan on the passbook in his hand, plus the interest, a total of more than 310 yuan, of course, the strong man took out paper money.
After the three of them had withdrawn the money, the young man took the strong man and the young man to the Changyang County Reserve Armed Forces Department, first issued a certificate of the military family of the boy's father, and then went to the Changyang County Health Bureau to stamp a seal, and finally came to the First Royal Hospital of Changyang County to hand over the certification materials of the military family.
Then the hospital told the teenager that his father's hospitalization fee did not need to be paid first, because when he was first hospitalized, he had already paid a deposit of ten Tang Yuan, and because the boy's father was a military dependent, many expenses such as surgery fees, medical expenses, nursing fees, and accommodation fees could be reduced or reduced, of course, the main thing was the illness of the teenager's father, not a particularly serious illness, but he needed surgery to remove the stones in the gall, so when the boy's father was discharged from the hospital, maybe there would be a lot of ten Tang Yuan deposits left.
The young man said goodbye to the strong man, the young man, and the young man, as well as the young man's father and mother, and then hurriedly left the hospital and came to the newly built cinema in Changyang County.
A young woman in a dress couldn't help but sigh and say when she saw the young man running over sweating profusely: "Hong Bin, why are you here so late, the movie is almost over." ”
"Yanyan, I'm sorry, ...... after you listened"
The young man then explained the reason for his late arrival, and then the young woman smiled and said, "It turns out that you have gone to do good deeds, and Miss Ben will forgive you." ”
The young man said with some embarrassment: "Yanyan is sorry, I finally took a day off and was going to watch a movie with you, but it turned out to be too late, and I lost two movie tickets in vain." ”
At this time, the young woman smiled and stretched out her hand, revealing two movie tickets, "Hehe, I saw that the movie was about to start, and you haven't come over yet, so I know that you must have encountered something to delay, so I found someone to change the movie tickets, and these two movie tickets are for the next show!" ”
