Summer is coming, the time has entered June, and the boiling currency reform has kicked off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The hype of the new coin issuance before INFO continues to heat up in Beijing and Shandong. On June 10, the Central Bank of Beijing, Shandong United Overseas Bank and Zhoucun Branch took the lead in issuing the Republic of China New Currency. It is proposed to stipulate that silver dollars and silver will be used temporarily, and after 2 months, all silver holders in the capital and Shandong must exchange silver dollars for use. Copper coins must be exchanged for silver dollars or paper money, and copper coins are prohibited from circulating in Shandong from the date of issuance of the new currency (the capital can be circulated until the end of September).

Due to the rapid development of Shandong after several years, the economic foundation is solid. In particular, driven by Zhoucun as the leader, Jinan, Zibo, Weifang and even Qingdao have formed an economic belt with the Jiaoji railway line as the point, and the vigorous development pattern has initially formed a scale. In view of Ge Yunfei's prestige in Shandong, and in view of the release of financial bottlenecks that hinder economic development, it is imperative to issue new currency, and the people and merchants even have a hunger for it.

June 5 is the day when government employees in Jinan pay their salaries, and the choice of this day to issue new currency means that government officials and "civil servants" should take the lead in using new currency. Early in the morning, the crowd in front of the Dahua Minsheng Bank was crowded and lively. In order to facilitate the exchange of new coins, 10 exchange points have been set up in front of UOB Minsheng Bank, and each exchange point is marked in black and white, for different groups of people who exchange new coins. There are government officials exchange payroll offices, and there are retail exchange offices. There are foreign exchange offices, money banks, and pawnshops.

The rest were all exchange points for the common people, and soon the crowd automatically lined up. The police are on high alert and on standby. There are new banknotes on the table at each exchange point, although they are all small denomination banknotes, but the colorful banknotes are very dazzling, making people's hearts sway. At each exchange point, there are several large wooden chests, presumably containing silver dollars. In addition, there are several empty chests and scales at each exchange point, and there is no doubt that the empty boxes are used to hold silver and copper coins, and they are used to weigh silver.

Before the issuance of new coins, Song Shiyuan, the governor of Shandong Province, delivered a speech on the issuance of new coins and highlighting the new atmosphere of the first year of the Republic of China, cut the ribbon amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, and then began to exchange new coins. The orderly police shouted loudly, and the atmosphere began to heat up. At the official new currency exchange point, most of the people who come are female dependents, and the flowers and branches form a beautiful landscape. Presumably, the officials were ashamed of their face and self-esteem, and most of them asked their ladies to bring their subordinates to exchange and receive new coins.

With the sound of the silver taels, the boxes full of silver and copper coins were carried away, and the boxes full of silver dollars and paper money were carried away, and the allure was self-evident.

At this time, Ge Yunfei was standing on the third floor of the bank to witness the grand scene, an official of the Central Department of Finance. Looking at the very enthusiastic people, the official of the Central Finance Department praised: "General Ge's prestige is admirable, presumably they are all here for you." "This is a bad statement, this is the prestige of the Republic of China. The people's demands are simple, as long as the managers provide a fair and just environment, they will support you. There is a way that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and this is true of any ruler. The people's hearts are as big as the sky, if you think about the people everywhere, even if you encounter great difficulties, you will turn evil into good fortune. ”

"What General Ge said is extremely true, the lower officials really cherish the blessings of the people of Shandong, because they have General Ge, the Qingtian lord who is dedicated to the people!" "As long as the heart is selfless and the world is wide, any Qingtian lord is nonsense, the key is to cultivate virtue." At this time, one of his subordinates came in and said, "Overseer, Mr. Miao asks to see you!" "Let him in!" In a few moments, Miao Hainan, chairman of the Jinan Miao Foundation, walked in. "Mr. Miao, long admiration!" "General Ge, the grass people hope that the banks under their command will assist in the issuance of new currency, can they be accommodated?"

"Mr. Miao, waiting is your words. It's all my own family, why didn't you come to me earlier? Ge Yunfei pretended to be dissatisfied. General, please forgive me for being stupid. Today's scene of people exchanging coins made me wake up. "Mr. Miao is a businessman, and his interests are not exaggerated. You go to Lin Zuren and say that I will allow Mr. Miao's bank and local branches to issue new currency. "Thanks to General Ge for his love, I will immediately count the treasury silver and send it to the mint." Miao Hainan left happily.

Now let's turn the lens to the capital, which is the central bank of the capital issuing new currency at the same time. There is no way back from the currency reform, and Yuan Shikai issued Presidential Decree No. 1 in order to cooperate with the issuance of new currency: the core content is that the new currency is based on gold and silver, and because the value of the silver dollar itself is strong, gold is used as a reserve for the issuance of paper money. At the same time, it was announced that the nation's gold and silver mines must be supervised by the central government, and no one will be allowed to mine gold and silver mines without permission in the future. In addition, Presidential Decree No. 1 decided.

It was September of that year, respectively in Mukden in the northeast. Wuhan, Taiyuan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou issue new coins as appropriate, and all localities are not allowed to imitate or privately mint new coins, and they will be severely punished once discovered. On this day, in front of the Central Bank of the Republic of China (a western-style house on Wangfujing Street), the onlookers were densely packed. In contrast, in Jinan, although the crowds of onlookers were crowded, there were not many people who actually exchanged new currency, and the vast majority of them came to see the excitement. At this time, Yuan Shikai stood on the upper floor of the central bank with all the ministers, witnessing the scene of exchange, and everyone's face was gloomy and unhappy.

Similarly, there are more than a dozen exchange points in front of the central bank, but there are long queues at only two exchange points, both of which are paid by officials in the capital. The other exchange points are crowded, and the scene is very embarrassing. Seeing Yuan Shikai's ugly face, Yang Du comforted: "My lord, it's not surprising that such a scene appeared today, Ge Yunfei had already expected it. "What did you say?" Yuan Shikai was slightly surprised. "My lord, before Ge Yunfei left, he said that the capital was deeply influenced by the Qing court, and there may be resistance to the issuance of new coins."

"Ge Yunfei is really sharp-eyed, I'm also worried about this problem?" Ge Yunfei said that if such a situation occurs, the Empress Dowager Longyu can solve this problem. The crux of the problem was the Manchu aristocracy, which was apparently caused by previous donations." "Let Zhou Xuexi prepare new coins, and I will enter the palace immediately."

Soon, Yuan Shikai's figure appeared in Bauhinia City. In Yingtai (where Guangxu was placed under house arrest), Long Yutai met Yuan Shikai later. Yuan Shikai got straight to the point and ordered his entourage to carry several boxes of silver dollars, banknotes and silver tickets into the house.

Yuan Shikai said respectfully: "Queen Mother, today is the day when the Republic of China issues new coins, which is the second half of the palace use. Silver dollars and banknotes are $100,000, and silver bills are $1,900,000. In the future, the silver ticket in the palace must be cashed at the Central Bank! When Pu Yi saw the brand-new silver dollar, he felt very funny, so he left his seat and ran to the box, grabbed a handful of silver dollars, and threw it on the ground with a raised hand. The silver dollar made a pleasant impact sound when it came into contact with the ground, which aroused Pu Yi's interest even more, and he grabbed a handful of silver dollars and threw them on the ground.

Empress Dowager Longyu didn't stop Pu Yi's naughtiness, she sighed and said, "Lord Yuan, I understand what you mean. Please rest assured that I will restrain them, and in the future, our orphans and widows will all depend on Lord Yuan. "Queen Mother, Yuan will never lose his word, and the amount in the palace will be guaranteed to be paid in full in the future." At present, the people have a strong appeal for the palace maid to restore her free body, and ask the Queen Mother to give convenience. Empress Dowager Longyu nodded and said, "If the palace maid is personally willing, I will not stop it." ”

A few days later, the new coin was successfully issued in the capital. On this day, Yuan Shikai, accompanied by Yang Du, visited the central bank again, and the scene of queuing in front of the door to change the new currency was very hot. Yuan Shikai stood in front of the window and said to Yang Du: "Chenzi, it is not a wise move to let Ge Yun fly back to Shandong, maybe it is too hasty. "My lord, wouldn't it be better for him to train in Shandong for a few years, and then he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility." There is no doubt about Ge Yunfei's sincerity, this is obvious to all. "Since he is the God of Wealth, let him make money in Shandong for the time being!"

Finance Minister Zhou Xuexi said: "My lord, the minting machinery and printing machinery provided by Ge Yunfei have arrived in Beijing, and foreign technicians have also arrived in Beijing. After deliberation, it is planned to select the address of the former Foundry Bureau, which is currently being cleaned up, and after the installation and commissioning of machinery and equipment and the completion of worker training, it can be put into production in early September. Ge Yunfei thought very thoughtfully, he had already made preparations and prepared to build a new mint in the capital. He said that in the future, the Shandong Mint will eventually be relocated to the capital, and the government of the Republic of China can only have one mint. ”

Yuan Shikai nodded with satisfaction, and Yang Du took the opportunity to say: "My lord, Ge Yunfei Dahua Group's Beer Villa has opened a branch in the capital, and today happens to be the day of opening. Ms. He, the general manager of Beer Villa, invited adults to cut the ribbon. "Where is Beer Hill?" "At No. 11 Dongdan Street?" "Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that Tsingtao beer is delicious and sweet, and the German brewing technology is first-class, so come with me." Soon, a motorized convoy arrived at No. 11 Ministry of Internal Affairs Street, Dongdan Street.

This No. 11 courtyard was originally obtained by Jingqing, the great-grandson of Mingrui, during the Daoguang period. In the 25th year of Daoguang, the 6th daughter of Xuanzong, Princess Engulun, married Jingqing's younger brother Jingshou, and this house was called the 6th Princess Mansion. Coincidentally, Jingqing's wife is Gui Tong's aunt, Gui Tong "After the East Window Incident", the owner of House No. 11 was afraid of settling accounts after the autumn, so he hurriedly sold House No. 11 and moved his family to Tianjin. After Ge Yunfei learned about this situation, he asked Shan Feng to buy this mansion at a very "fair" price.

The plaque of Beijing Beer Villa is dazzling gold, and Yang Ruiqing's wife He Shuzhen in front of the door is standing in a black cheongsam, two women in cheongsam next to her are pulling red silk cloths, and three women are holding trays in their hands and standing side by side behind them. The car was very stable, and Mrs. Yuan Shikaixie's wife and Aunt Jiu got out of the car with a red face. "The president, the lady, is far away. It is an honor for He Shuzhen, a grass citizen, to be able to hire the president to cut the ribbon??????。 ”
