Every enraged lion will douse his anger with the blood of his provocateur.

The Spaniards are an example of this.

Chen Ming immediately set about sending 20,000 reinforcements to the Americas, and the previous plan was that 10,000 people would be enough. The Wehrmacht in the Americas was all armed with mini rifles and a lot of hexagonal guns, and no matter how many soldiers the Spanish colonial authorities put together, they were useless.

However, Emperor Chen's anger was not without effect, and the reinforcements of 10,000 people immediately doubled.

Although this 'sudden expenditure' without warning caused the Metropolitan Government to secretly vomit a mouthful of blood, they could only endure it, and then vent all their frustration on the Spaniards.

The amount of 20,000 troops is a bit large, it is impossible to draw all of them from the Praetorian Guard, half of the previous garrison army came from Chen Han's most elite Imperial Forest Army, and now these 20,000 people are all drawn from Nanjing, it is not only more than forty percent of the troops of the 'Imperial Forest Army' - too much, but also seizes the opportunity of others.

Yes, the Janissaries accounted for half of the 20,000 shares, and the remaining 10,000 people, 5,000 people came from Tianjin, and 5,000 people came from the Northeast.

However, it was very coincidental that the newspapers and public opinion in Nanjing had just hyped up Emperor Chen's 'anger' against the British, and then immediately dispatched troops, and rumors immediately spread among the people -- I don't know how many people swore that China and Britain were going to war. The heavenly soldiers were about to march into India, and the emperor was going to send a fleet of sailors to Europe on an expedition of thousands of miles to attack the British mainland.

The British, who were also shot while lying down, were so uncomfortable that they were going to vomit blood. Because this rumor has just been launched, it has shaken Britain's trade with China.

Because at present, the contact with flying pigeons in China is really convenient and convenient. From Nanjing to Guangzhou, it doesn't take more than a day for ordinary flying pigeons to pass on the book. From Nanjing to Shanghai, the time is even shorter.

The British merchants in Shanghai and Guangzhou were directly stunned by the sudden news that China and Britain were going to war.

But in fact these armies were going to the Americas.

Han Teng is well aware of the 'friendly' relations between China and Britain today, so he does not believe the rumors of war between China and Britain at all. If there was a change in the relationship between China and the UK, he would certainly be the first to be notified. Bank of China, together with many other banks such as China Commercial Bank, has already expanded some of its business to Europe.

The main partner is now the UK banking community.

And the bad relations between China and Britain, or even the outbreak of war, will have a great impact on the financial and banking industry.

Yes, he previously served in the Department of Industry and Commerce, and he has always been the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. But he was a little inappropriate in his style, and was reported that he had an affair with the wife of his subordinate, and he didn't mention it if it was true or not, and the matter broke out when Han Teng was seeking the book of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and then he was transferred to the banking system.

The power in Han Teng's hands has not shrunk in essence. The Bank of China is China's central bank, as the leader of the central bank, Han Teng is still the leader of the CBRC, and he is a little smaller than Chen Jiqing, the boss of the CBRC, and enjoys the treatment of the second grade, although the official title is still from the second grade.

But moving from politics to the banking system puts his future at the top.

No matter how much he climbs up, he can't get past Chen Jiqing. Chen Jiqing is the eldest son of King Song! But if he wants to return to politics from the banking system one day, he will be qualified to be the deputy secretary of the Treasury Department.

Therefore, Han Teng, who had not heard anything about the Sino-British relations, scoffed at the rumors in Nanjing in the past few days.

He didn't come to the palace today for this rumor, and it should be the Ministry of Industry and Commerce that affected foreign trade transactions, not him. Han Teng came this time for the upcoming gold and silver coins.

After going around in a big circle, China is going to make gold and silver coins again. But there is no way to do it, since the decision to set the gold standard has been made, you can't limit the equivalent exchange of paper money with gold, otherwise what kind of gold standard is it?

China's current financial policy, Huayuan [banknotes] can not only be exchanged for gold bars, but also for gold coins, and the restrictions on the melting of gold coins and the export of gold bars have been lifted. This is the true gold standard.

In the late 19th century, the gold coin standard had been widely adopted in the major capitalist countries, and it had become international. At that time, the British Empire played a prominent role in the world economic system, which was actually an international gold standard system centered on the British pound and based on gold.

Although this status lasted only 30 years, it was shattered in World War I.

But the influence of this 'system' is what Chen Ming is pursuing. Because he can be more convinced that the Chinese Empire he founded has stronger national power and more lasting vitality than the British Empire.

As long as he established China's international financial status and world hegemon during his lifetime, China's size will last for at least a hundred years, and it will last into the 20th century.

In the heyday of the gold standard, gold was the most important international reserve asset of all countries, and the pound sterling was the most important means of international liquidation, and gold and the pound sterling became recognized international reserves by all countries at the same time. The reason why the pound is as important as gold is that the strong economic power of Britain at that time made London an international financial center. At the same time, the strong strength of the British ensured their economic interests, and Britain became the center of international economic and financial activities, thus forming an international gold standard centered on gold and the British pound, also known as the pound exchange standard.

What the British once did, with the current state of China, can also be done.

The world hegemony of the Chinese Empire will be stronger than the crown of the British, and although it will take time for the popularity of steamships to become widespread, the conditions for achieving all this are objective.

Therefore, the Chinese dollar exchange standard. Countries around the world regard Huayuan as a hard currency like gold, which is China's goal in the future.

Moreover, over the years, Chen Han has continuously controlled many gold producing areas such as Siberia, Northeast China, Nanming Prefecture and Xiangzhou, and the west coast of North America, and the amount of gold sent to the treasury and the central bank treasury every year is not a small amount. Coupled with the gold and silver that foreign countries have flowed into China in recent years, and the gold and silver confiscated by China, China's gold reserves alone have exceeded 800 metric tons, which can make China occupy the total amount of gold in the world today.

The precious metal currency taken out by the central bank is very simple, its front is Chen Ming's head, the top is made of Han xx [year number] xx [time], the back is two crossed rice ears, the center is "one yuan", "two yuan" words, gold coins are only two modes of size, large gold coins can be exchanged for 200 Chinese yuan, small gold coins can be exchanged for 100 Chinese yuan. No matter how small the 'Wu Jiao' and 'One Jiao' are, they are silver coins.

This gold and silver coin is a key matter for the central bank in the next few years, and the relationship between the ratio of the Chinese dollar and the gold coin should be fixed as soon as possible.

1:100。

But in addition to gold and silver coins, Han Teng also brought a commemorative gold coin with him when he entered the palace this time, which was not something that Chen Ming asked them to turn upside down. This is a method of income generation that the Bank of China has come up with on its own.

They've already made a version and are going to make 10,000 pieces to test the water. If the feedback is good, this is not a one-shot deal, but a glittering financial road.

There are so many things to remember in China today. Like ships and trains in the near future.

As a member of Chen Han's power class, Han Teng certainly knew about ships and trains. As long as the commemorative gold coins can open a way now, they will be issued when the steamship and train are officially launched to meet the world in a few years. There is even a commemorative coin of the year every year.

Even if the plate is made a little more fine, the selling price can be twice that of gold coins with the same gold content, and the profit is huge. How can the central bank not be able to sell commemorative coins to factories and companies that manufacture ships and trains, as long as the relationship is strong enough and the distribution of profits is appropriate?

The central bank doesn't want to make a big deal, and it is only 30,000 or 50,000 at most. It is not possible to circulate in the market according to the value of gold coins, it is more of a beautiful and commemorative craft. It doesn't hurt at all. For wealthy families, this thing is like a nice gadget. And in the case of central banks, that is to add a little profit to themselves.

Han Teng took out a golden coin from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Ming. "Your Majesty, this is the commemorative gold coin." They learned this concept from the emperor.

At the opening of the Yuan, the emperor made a batch of small gifts and sent them to the first national representatives of the Yuan, and then made a batch of small gifts to the Federation of Industry and Commerce, saying that it was a commemorative commemoration.

Then Han Teng and the others 'commemorate' the commemorative coin. Although the emperor pointed it out unintentionally, the central bank did have a heart.

If this can be done, not only the central bank, but also other banks can follow suit, make a small amount of money, get a little welfare for their employees, and make a little income.

Chen Ming caught it, turned his hand over, and said with a smile, "Panda? ”

The total amount of 4 coins [24g], China's most refined manufacturing process, heavy pressing, and dazzling.

The obverse of the coin is naturally a red flag and a sword and gun that symbolize the army, and the back is a giant panda that was sent to the Nanjing Zoo only last year, with hair and a few bamboos standing up beside it.

The pair of giant pandas that were transported to Nanjing can be said to be the first pandas to appear in the eyes of many people in the capital as living creatures. And the name of this 'giant panda' was also set by Chen Ming, round, chubby, looking like a bear, but not a bear, in Chinese legends called tapir, commonly known as the iron beast. In Chen Ming's eyes, of course, they are the giant pandas of later generations, so they are also called pandas, not cats and bears.

It looks like a bear and has a cat-like temperament. Splashing and rolling in the yard, lazily basking in the sun when you are full, if you really want to talk about temperament, it is indeed like a cat.

In the summer, the panda pavilion in the zoo is also dedicated to icebergs, as well as shallow pools with large ice cubes.

This panda pavilion costs tens of thousands of yuan for ice in one summer alone.

The people of Nanjing are the most deaf and clear-sighted people in the world, and their literacy rate and affluence are among the best in China. And because of Chen Ming, the name of the panda spreads more widely and faster than the tapir and the iron-eating beast. Although there is also a reason why the panda itself is likable in appearance, Chen Ming's personal influence is beyond doubt.

Anyway, after the fermentation and accumulation of Nanjing, this panda made its name in China more than 100 years earlier than the original time and space.

Now the Bank of China has taken a trick.

On the reverse of the coin, a golden panda lies on the golden bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves are clearly recognizable, and the eye circles are also clearly recognizable.

If the way of the commemorative coin is feasible, this golden giant panda is likely to be the unique symbol of the commemorative coins of the Bank of China.

……

The tenth lunar month, the east coast of India. A small port in the Kingdom of Mysore.

The port was apparently visited by the British fleet. The remnants of the shelling and arson are still visible.

But today, a flotilla of five large merchant ships under the red flag arrived at the small and ruined port under the protection of two warships of the Chinese Nanyang Naval Division. At the same time, a large number of Mysoreans also came out of the abandoned town of the port, so many Mysore soldiers were obviously not the defenders of this useless little port.

They arrived in a hurry when they got the news.

The first batch of Chinese aid Mysore received after the war with Britain was probably the last.

Because Tiepu knew that the Chinese were willing to send him the arms and materials he continued, it was the Chinese emperor and the British who were angry. It is not that the Chinese are really willing to risk the possibility of offending the British to support the war against the British in Mysore.

Chen Ming's actions more than a month ago did not break out in vain. Wang Huizu got his wish and sent a reinforcement order to the Kingdom of Mysore.

Five merchant ships brought 5,000 muskets, 50 cannons, 3,000 barrels of gunpowder and 20,000 pounds of lead and tin to the kingdom of Mysore. And then there's a lot of herbs and rockets!

These substances can make Tiepu breathe a sigh of relief. Despite the fact that the Kingdom of Mysore developed for a full decade with the support of China, it established its own ironworks and munitions system, from the manufacture of sabers to long and short guns, smoothbore guns, gunpowder shells, everything can be done. However, their yield has always been a problem.

Ten years of development, a large number of arms and ammunition have been accumulated on weekdays, and it seems to be sufficient. But as soon as the war broke out, Tiepp found that he really underestimated the British.

Especially in the rainy season, many of the materials that have been accumulated have been turned into garbage in this continuous rainy weather.

The ultra-low organizational and administrative efficiency of the Kingdom of Mysore has raised the cost of war by too much.

The cost of military supplies far exceeded Tiepu's expectations, and much more than the cost of the last war.

The British not only swept the coastline of the Kingdom of Mysore with warships, but also sent marines to attack the interior from the coastline, burning, killing and looting, and Tiepu was Alexander.

And now the sudden outbreak of the Chinese made him greatly relieved. At least for the next two months, he didn't have to worry about the arms problem. And Tiepu also has his own sources, he knows that Bhutan and Gurkha, at the southern foot of the Himalayas, suddenly sent troops to northern India. This had a big impact on the back of the British, and the war would change because of it.

Tiepu sincerely hopes that this transformation will be a good change.

He prayed to the gods of India to bless him, to bless the Kingdom of Mysore, to withstand the British invasion, to make China's relations with Britain worse and worse.

He didn't want to make the kingdom his father give him a mess, he wanted revenge on the British, and the treacherous Marathas, and the ones that people loved and hated Chinese......
