Chapter 164: The Golden Troop
The headquarters of Zhongzhou Bank, as well as the premises of the four branches, have all been renovated, and all employees have been put in place.
Since the base can provide banks and mints, the corresponding employees of these two units will naturally be provided at the same time.
At this point, Jiang Chuan does not need to worry about it at all.
The renovation of the five banks was all completed by the renovation team of the base, and the whole thing changed completely in three days, and the style was very close to that of later banks.
The location of the mint was set in the courtyard behind the Bank of Zhongzhou, which occupied two whole courtyards.
One is used to print and mint currency, and the other is used for storage and use as a vault.
In addition, Jiangchuan recruited a new unit from the base to serve as a security force for the bank and the mint.
The number of this force is 5,000 people, all of whom are composed of soldiers of the base's descendants, and are temporarily organized into a regiment, and the number is set as the Golden Force.
According to Jiang Chuan's vision, the gold unit was a separate unit in the future, and its direct mission was to protect the security of the Mint and various branches of the Bank of Zhongzhou.
Although the current number is only 5,000, with the later establishment of branches in other states and counties by the Zhongzhou Bank, the gold army will naturally expand accordingly.
The Gold Force's armament is all new firearms, and although the number of artillery cannons cannot be compared with the New First Army and the Guards Regiment, considering that the Gold Force's mission is to guard banks and mints, it does not require such powerful firepower.
Rao is so, judging from the firepower configuration and personnel composition of the Golden Army, it is also an absolute elite force.
The gold army was 5,000 people, and 3,000 people were stationed near the headquarters of the Bank of Central State and the mint. After all, this is where the root is.
There are 500 people stationed next to each of the other four branches.
It can be said that the mission of the Gold Corps includes the task of protecting the security of bank and mint personnel and funds, as well as the escort of currency.
For the sake of safety, all the houses near the headquarters of the Zhongzhou Bank and the other four branches have been bought by Jiang Chuan as the station of the Golden Army.
After Liu Ji finished reading, Jiang Chuan's gaze slowly swept over the body of everyone in the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "Does anyone have a different opinion?" You might as well say bluntly, this king will definitely give him an explanation. ”
Although there was a whispering commotion under Liu Ji when he announced it just now, when Jiang Chuan's voice landed for a long time, no one immediately stood up and expressed the so-called dissenting opinions.
There are no real fools standing here.
The bloody scene in the court just now is still vivid, and Li Ziqi's brain and blood have still not been cleaned up.
Standing up at this time is tantamount to telling others that he doesn't want to live anymore.
And many people have not yet woken up from this series of reform plans, but there are also some sharp-minded people who immediately realize the real logic of currency reform.
Those who still remember the past of the Daming treasure banknotes quickly realized that this was Jiang Chuan's plan to exchange a pile of paper for real money in everyone's hands.
Confrontation is definitely not possible, so many people are already counting how much gold and silver they have in their homes.
My brain is spinning fast, and I have begun to think of a set of ways to deal with it.
At this time, Xia Junze, the first assistant of the cabinet, knew that it was time for his performance, and calmly stood up and said loudly: "The issuance of paper money and the reform of the currency system are in the present and the benefits are in the future. ”
After Xia Junze finished speaking, Su Qin and Liu Ji on the side also said at the same time: "The ministers seconded the proposal and strongly supported His Highness's implementation of the fiat currency reform currency system!" ”
"The ministers seconded it!"
"The ministers support His Highness to reform the currency system and implement fiat currency!"
More people came forward to express their support, and many of them were the officials of the Imperial Historian in the Imperial Court that Liu Ji now controlled, and the officials in the Imperial Court controlled by Su Qin.
Those disobedient officials had already been cleared out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate by Liu Ji, and those who were left were those who were determined to hug the regent's thigh.
The court was instantly in favor of the voice.
Due to the situation, many other people who did not express their position also seconded and agreed.
Jiang Chuan laughed slightly, he didn't care how many people there were, duplicity.
What he wants is your superficial obedience, and when the general trend comes in the future, these duplicitous people will have to obey if they are not obedient.
Even from the bottom of his heart, he hopes that someone will stand up against him on the spot, so that he doesn't have to make excuses, and he can just do it.
Compared with playing with all kinds of intrigues and tricks, he prefers to fight with open swords and guns.
In the end, all the people standing in the court spoke out in favor of reforming the currency system and implementing fiat currency.
If people who don't know see it, they still think that there is a lot of joy above this court, and they are all pillars of the court who are determined to reform.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Chuan laughed, he stretched out his hands and pressed downward.
Soon the hall fell silent, and everyone raised their heads to look at Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan's gaze slowly swept over the main hall.
Then he said in a deep voice: "I hope you can remember your words in the court today, instead of using them to perfunctory this king." If anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin, then this king will not mind borrowing your head to warn the world. ”
Hearing this, many people's hearts suddenly trembled.
Jiang Chuan's various actions since he entered Beijing have fully demonstrated that he will do what he says.
Jiang Huan turned around and slowly walked up the imperial steps, came to the emperor, looked at the emperor with a smile on his face, and said lightly:
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the minister's set of regulations for reforming the currency system?"
After what happened just now, the emperor already had a feeling of fear of Jiang Chuan.
And Jiang Chuan's smiling eyes made him even more creepy, so that he involuntarily leaned back, trying to keep himself away from the person in front of him as much as possible.
Looking at the emperor's appearance, a trace of mockery flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.
"Regent, the regent's charter is in line with the disadvantages of the times, benefiting the country and the people, I deeply agree with it, and I will fully support it."
The Emperor's voice was almost trembling because of fear.
Jiang Chuan smiled and said lightly: "I am very pleased to have His Majesty's support. ”
"It seems that Your Majesty is already a little tired, Gonggong Wei, send Your Majesty back to the palace to rest."
Wei Zhongxian, who had been standing with his hands down and didn't dare to move at all, hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old slave obeys the order!" ”
After saying that, the emperor, who seemed to have no strength to walk, hurriedly walked towards the side door.
Not to mention the emperor, even Wei Zhongxian was unwilling to stay by Jiang Chuan's side for longer.
The atmosphere was too oppressive, too dreary, too scary.
Now this old eunuch has no thoughts, and his only thought is to be able to serve the emperor well.
All the former ambitions have been completely buried in the deepest part of my heart.
After all, the era that belonged to them is completely over.
