On the 15th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the Shengwang Palace's palace announced the formal establishment of the "Shengguo Central Bank", which was directly managed by the Ministry of Finance and Taxation of the Shengwang's Palace, with Zhou Shengkun, vice minister of finance and taxation, as president, and Wu Chongyao as vice president.

Speaking of this Xu Youren, there is still a twist and turn.

Originally, after Chen Yucheng led the Third Division to capture Changsha City, he captured two Manchu officials, namely Xu Youren, the political envoy of Munan Bu, and Tao Enpei, the envoy of Munan Prefecture, and Zhu Sunyi, the magistrate of Xiangxiang County.

After arriving in Guangzhou, Feng Yunshan routinely interrogated these three people, and made sure that they were unwilling to return to the Holy Kingdom, so he didn't say anything more, and was ready to escort the East Campus to be beheaded like Bai Gui, but he didn't expect that Xu Youren, who had been calm, began to shout and ask to see the Holy King on the way to the school. Fortunately, Huang Yukun, the minister of justice who was imprisoned, heard it and sent him back to the palace, but it turned out that Xu Youren still didn't want to die, so he had to obediently surrender to the holy country.

The other two, Tao Enpei, the envoy of Munan, and Zhu Sunyi, the magistrate of Xiangxiang, were beheaded without saying a word.

Feng Yunshan finally had the court surrender from the civil officials of the second grade, and he was afraid that his family members would be punished by the court, so he immediately took good care of Xu Youren and kept it hidden. A while ago, Xu Youren's family members in Wucheng, Zhejiang, were sent by Fan Ruzeng to Guangzhou, so Xu Youren dared to be taken out and appointed as the deputy governor of the newly established Central Bank of the Holy Kingdom.

This is also because Feng Yunshan saw that there were really no talents, only Xu Youren, a demoted official who was afraid of death, had served as the political envoy of Yunnan Bu and the political envoy of Mu Nanbu, and he knew a lot about the local civil affairs of a province, so he let him go out and preside over the work of the "Central Bank of the Holy Country". After all, Zhou Shengkun and Wu Chongyao are both part-time, and the focus of their work is still in their own fields.

The Imperial Palace of the Holy King declared that the purpose of establishing the Central Bank of the Holy Kingdom was to stabilize the financial order of the Holy Kingdom, prosper the economy, resist the indiscriminate issuance of large coins by the corrupt Manchu court, and protect the wealth of the people. At the same time, for the sake of the face of the Holy Country, rectify the chaotic monetary status quo within the Holy Country, and end the history of using foreign dollars everywhere.

According to the royal government, the capital of the Central Bank of the Holy Kingdom was initially set at 10 million silver dollars, totaling 7 million taels of silver. The Central Bank of the Holy Nations is the only bank that has the right to issue the currency of the Holy Nations.

The Central Bank of the Holy State has the right to act as an agent for the state treasury, collect and repay public debts, collect taxes, and issue and mint holy coins. All other types of local banks or commercial banks must obtain the approval of the central bank if they want to set up.

The Central Bank of Shengguo is headquartered in Guangzhou, and has set up a branch in each province to supervise the financial situation of the province and be responsible for the currency issuance of the province.

At the same time, the Shengwang Mansion also announced that it is ready to continue to set up several cooperative joint-stock banks controlled by Shengguo in the next step, and welcomes domestic and foreign institutions and private individuals to invest in Shengwang.

These joint-stock banks are Shengguo Industrial and Commercial Bank, Shengguo Bank of Communications, and Shengguo Construction Bank.

Moreover, these three banks have their own exclusive fields. Like the Central Bank of the Holy Kingdom, each bank will have provincial branches. But the difference is that in important provinces, there will also be secondary branches; Below the branches, the corresponding general state capitals set up sub-branches; At the county level, an agency office for a branch will be set up, and savings offices will also be set up in important townships.

In this way, the business of these three banks will be expanded to all parts of the Holy Kingdom.

Through the circular issued by the Holy King and the "Southern Daily", the Holy King's Mansion officially announced that within the scope of the Holy Kingdom, the Central Bank of the Holy Kingdom would issue the Holy Currency publicly. From now on, the Holy Coin will be officially put into circulation.

In addition, the original Manchu currency within the jurisdiction of the Holy State, whether it is copper coins, gold and silver ingots, etc., can still be freely circulated for half a year before the end of June of the following year, but from the beginning of July, all Manchu currency, foreign dollars, etc., are strictly prohibited from circulation, and it is necessary to go to the branches, sub-branches and offices of the Central Bank of the Holy State in the state capitals of the Holy Kingdom to exchange them for holy currency.

In addition, the Central Bank of the Holy Kingdom also stipulated the proportion of exchange, which was measured entirely according to the weight and fineness of copper and silver, and the inflated face value of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not recognized.

This news quickly spread with the launch of this issue of "Nanfang Daily".

………

In Anfu County, Lizhou, Munan, on the official road to Sheshi Bridge Town, a jujube red horse galloped and galloped.

A passer-by who went to the town to catch the market said to another passer-by: "Big brother, who is this, is this going to Sheshi Bridge?" I don't know what's urgent, hurry up! ”

Another passer-by smiled and said, "Big brother, don't speak with an accent, just from the question you asked, I'm sure you're not a native of Anfu?" ”

"Hey, is that a strange question I'm asking? I am indeed from Jingzhou, and I came to Anfu to visit relatives and friends. ”

"It's very simple, we are Anfu locals, who doesn't know that at the beginning of every month, there are fast horses to deliver newspapers from Guangdong to the Jiang family?"

"Anfu Jiang's family? Is it the famous Jiang family, which has hundreds of thousands of acres of land and countless pawnshops, money houses, and businesses? ”

"It's that Jiang family! Every time the "Nanfang Daily" in the southern part of Guangdong came out, the Jiang family would get the latest issue of the newspaper from Changde Fucheng, which was occupied by the Cantonese thieves next door, and send his men to ride fast horses to the ancestral house of Jiang Jiaping in Anfu Sheshi Bridge. ”

"This, this Jiang family is really wealthy! He even sent a fast horse to deliver a newspaper. However, why does the Jiang family care so much about the newspaper published by the Cantonese thief? Could it be that they want to take refuge in the south, and they want to rebel? ”

"Haha, I don't know."

………

Half an hour later, the fast horse came to a huge manor, entered the village, and ran a pillar of incense before stopping in front of a Zhumen pavilion. In front of the door, a family member was already waiting, took the newspaper from the cloth bag on the rider's back, and rushed into the room.

"Second master, the latest Cantonese thief, Nanfang Daily has arrived."

"Put it down." A wealthy old man in his sixties stood up, took the newspaper that the family had placed on the tea table, and read it carefully.

"Hey, these Cantonese bandits finally realized that they are going to mint coins by themselves!" Flipping to the recent policy propaganda page, the rich old man saw the news that the Holy Country established the Central Bank of the Holy Country and began to mint coins, and he couldn't help but continue to look down.

"The copper coins of the imperial court are only given half a year to circulate freely, and they must be exchanged after half a year, otherwise they can only be sold as scrap copper? The hand of the Cantonese thief is really too vicious. This is to drive out all the copper coins of the court in the area occupied by thieves. The rich old man muttered.
