Chapter 354: Overseas Nationbuilding
Huang Sheng had already arranged for Gu Ling'er to take many educated women and wounded soldiers to set up a money village, and arranged Zhao Shimin's research on coinage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because Huang Sheng found that it was too fucked to weigh silver as currency, and using copper coins could not meet the demand, after all, tens of thousands of copper coins could hold a sack that a person could not resist, and the value was only a few dozen taels of silver.
The circulation of these things is not only inconvenient but also produces a lot of fire consumption, and Huang Sheng is ready to mint silver dollars like later generations, which is commonly known as Yuan Datou.
A silver coin is a tael of silver, weighing is also a tael, a gold coin is also a tael of silver, a copper-silver alloy coin, the value of the currency is five coins of silver, and a certain proportion of silver is mixed with nickel and white copper to cast a copper plate of 100 yuan and 10 yuan.
The nickel-copper-iron-tin alloy is used to cast a small penny, and the exchange ratio is 1,000 wen, which is exchanged for a tael of silver, which is a silver coin.
Don't consider printing banknotes for the time being, because Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is too fucked, he printed a number of Daming treasure banknotes and only printed them without recycling, which led to inflation and boiling public resentment.
The Ming people still remember this unforgettable lesson, and it is impossible for the small people of Shengdou to recognize the paper money produced solely by the government's credit, they only believe in precious metals.
Therefore, the gold, silver, and copper coins minted by the Huang family are only circulating within the scope of their own system at this stage, and these currencies have their own precious metal value.
Under Huang Sheng's operation, the big merchants were faced with paper money and bills of exchange, and in the future, merchants in Liaodong could deposit silver in Huangjiashan Island Bank, and as long as they gave a small amount of water, they could go to Daishan Island, Zhejiang, two thousand miles away, to withdraw silver or gold coins.
Merchants can also get 1,000 taels or 100 taels of silver banknotes to use directly in the Huang family's territory, and they can exchange gold coins and silver coins at any of the Huang family's banknotes.
The coinage is originally profitable, because the silver content of Yuan Datou is only eighty percent, and the Huang family has served the society and has more than one percent of the profits to be made, so why not?
Another big advantage is that you can overdraw, in the case of general recognition, according to the issuance of overdraft 30% at all, recognition to a certain extent of overdraft can also be considered.
Seeing that it was approaching the end of the year, many outstanding teenagers began to inquire about the recruitment regulations that the head of their families would immediately promulgate, and the replacement quota of martyrs and wounded and retired soldiers was full on the same day.
In the small building of Zhao Rui, the big housekeeper of the Huang family house on Huangjiawan Island, the tanned Huang Daren stuck to Zhao Rui's white belly to listen to the fetal sound.
Zhao Rui said depressedly: "Master, the slave family is not promising, many mothers-in-law have seen it, and they all say that the slave family is pregnant with a girl!" ”
Huang Sheng smiled, not believing it at all, because this was unscientific, and asked, "Can this be seen by eyes?" How so? ”
"The slave family has been pregnant for more than eight months, and they all say that the slave family has not become ugly, and there is a chance that the slave family has an ugly mother, and they also say that the slave family's belly is too big, and it must be a big girl."
"Hello girl! The lord has never given birth to a daughter, but now it's okay, and he finally has a daughter. ”
"Master, you don't have a son?" The beauty was in a hurry, tears rolling in her eyes.
Huang Sheng had a son in his previous life, so he said the wrong thing, he stroked the beauty's cheek and said: "Even the lady likes it, it doesn't matter how much the lord loves you in the future, he will definitely help you give birth to a son." ”
The beauty turned from cloudy to sunny at this time, and said: "The master is what he says, don't forget the slave family when the time comes." "Pregnant women are prone to cranky thoughts, this time is a period of physiological fragility, even the wise Zhao Rui is no exception.
Huang Sheng had no choice but to coax ...... with clever words.
Li Guozhu finally saw Huangjiawan Island, and was immediately shocked by the prosperity here, which now has 70,000 or 80,000 permanent residents, and dozens of liners to and from Tianjinwei, Dengzhou, Fushan Port, and other places.
After two years of hard work by more than 1,000 road builders, the 18-mile-long Avenida around the island has been opened to traffic, which is still a dual-purpose roadwall, which is also a seawall to protect Huangjiawan Island from the threat of a tsunami, and can resist a tsunami disaster that occurs once in 50 years.
It can also basically eliminate soil erosion on Huangjiawan Island, its roadbed construction materials are all stone, from several small hills that were blown up when leveling the mountains, and the road surface is a concrete structure, and the firmness is undoubted.
The most distinctive novelty of Huangjiawan Island is the opening of the public transportation round-the-island line, where two horses pull a four-wheeled carriage with a length of nine steps, which can seat 26 passengers in ten rows.
You can get on the train for two cents to reach any platform, and you can also go back to the original point, and the residents of the island can apply for a monthly waist card for only 50 yuan, and you can take it multiple times a day.
Forty horse-drawn buses are now in operation, and several coachmen who have retired due to injuries have become grassroots cadres of the newly established bus station, and they are improving the operation standards and formulating management systems.
There are no poor households in the Huang family, everyone has enough food and clothing, Li Guozhu walked around the streets of Huangjiawan Island with more than a dozen henchmen, and did not find a single person in tattered clothes, nor did he see any fighting and scolding on the street.
The streets were bustling with people, but they were so clean that there was no spitting, mules and horses had bags of feces under their buttocks, and women in their forties and fifties with red cloths on their arms and the handwriting of the health inspectors were sweeping the streets non-stop.
All the buildings on the island are small two- or three-story buildings, and there is not a single adobe house, thatched house.
The store has a wide variety of goods, including northern and southern goods and Western goods, even more than those found in Edo Castle in Japan.
Seeing is believing, and he is imagining what it will be like in a few years if Hwang runs Jeju Island. He thought that he would also settle in Jeju Island in the future, and build small buildings such as Hwangjiawan Island there to live the rest of his life in peace.
He strengthened his confidence in cooperating with the Huang family, and it is entirely possible for Huang to take Jeju Island and establish a state overseas, and it is also possible to seek to seize Japan after taking North Korea in a few more years! Obediently, Li Guozhu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The five ships of goods that the Li family was responsible for purchasing had already been sent to Huangjiawan Island, Li Er had been waiting for more than two months with six accounts, and they had long been eager to see through, they finally saw the Huang family's fleet back, who knew that they didn't have to go to Japan at all, the owner of the cargo came here directly to hand over, and immediately paid off the payment.
Li Guo's assistant had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he simply left them to settle the payment, and he brought the goods back as well.
Li Er didn't want to stay here for a moment when he got the silver, after all, at the end of the year, the merchants were waiting for the silver to pay dividends and settle their accounts, and they hurriedly took the Huang family boat to prepare to go home for the New Year.
They brought too much cash with them, and in order to ensure safety, the Huang family sent the 'Guangning' grass skimming boat to run this shift.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone plans to go home for reunion, and Li Guozhu is no exception, on December 2, he said goodbye and returned to Japan's private port with the fleet.
The Huang family's cargo ships and warships still set off, carrying a lot of porcelain, glass products, Songjiang cloth and Li Guozhu together, because they had to be trustworthy, they had to go and transport rice and copper ingots back.
The fleet to Japan was led by Liu Liangcai, with 30 large and small warships and 70 transport ships, and they may not have time to return to Huangjiawan Island for the New Year.
