"My lord, it seems that all countries are not willing to lose their coinage rights!"

"Hmph, what can I do if I'm unwilling?"

As his strength continues to expand, Wei Shuo no longer regards the countries of the Western Regions in his eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, it is true, whether it is the size of the population or the land area, the countries of the Western Regions together may not be comparable to Shazhou.

This is no different from the international situation in later generations, although many countries are not angry that the United States will fight this today and beat that tomorrow.

But in the face of the super-powerful American empire, he could only swallow his anger.

"The unification of monetary rights is very important for the future layout, and it is imperative to urge countries to surrender their monetary rights as soon as possible."

"No, my subordinates understand."

"It's just...... Who is the right person to give the position of head of the money bank? ”

"What about the physique?"

"At present, there is no talent in Shazhou who is proficient in currency issuance, and if it is not entrusted to anyone, I am afraid that the lord's plan will be ruined, so I can't choose carefully."

Song Miao considered it again and again, but did not propose a candidate, and finally had to put forward a compromise proposal.

"Madame Yin is proficient in business affairs, and has traveled to Western countries, and even coinage was proposed by her, so she was originally a suitable candidate."

"But now that he is in charge of Shang Cao, he has a great responsibility, and I am afraid that he has no time to clone."

"It's better to serve for a period of time for the time being, and in June next year, when the first class of scholars graduate, and when Shazhou holds a scientific examination, then select suitable talents to take over, what does the lord think?"

"Well, that's all there is to it for now."

After speaking, Wei Shuo couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, how difficult it is to find the right talent." ”

There were very few people in ancient Chinese history who really understood finance, let alone implement the ancient Bretton Woods system, which was undoubtedly even more difficult.

"The more my subordinates think about the matter of Qianzhuang, the more they feel that the layout of the lord is far-reaching, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach."

It's not that Song Miao is making sycophants, but he has realized that the unified currency has unpredictable benefits, but he can't figure out what the real benefits are.

Looking at Song Xuan, who was confused, Wei Shuo explained with a smile: "Unifying the currency of the Western Regions is just an appetizer, and in the future, as the army captures Hexi, Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and even the whole world, we will also unify the currency of the world." ”

"At that time, the whole world will gather the strength of the whole world and set the Chinese currency as the world's common currency."

"Can you imagine the whole world using the Chinese currency? How much benefit would that bring to Huaxia? ”

"At the very least, the precious metals such as gold and silver owned by various countries will inevitably be concentrated in China, and then China will easily obtain huge wealth through coinage, and with this money, it will in turn greatly promote domestic development and leave other countries far behind."

"The lord is talented, and the minister can't wait."

At this time, Zhang Zhan and the others, who had just arrived, were shocked after hearing this.

……

After months of careful preparation, in February of the following year, money banks in various countries were finally opened, and new coins were quickly circulated in various countries.

In order to curry favor with Wei Shuo, the lords of some small countries have taken out the gold, silver, copper and other precious metals stored in the treasury and exchanged them for new currency at the bank.

As for the ordinary people in Hexi, out of trust in Wei Shuo, they also found out all kinds of bad and good money in their homes.

The most supporters of the new currency are the major merchants.

Originally, they had long been dissatisfied with the relatively chaotic monetary system in the Western Regions, but there was really no country that had the strength to rectify it, and the merchants could only endure the pain of trading with foreign merchants with gold and silver in their hands.

Now that Wei Shuo has come forward to rectify the currency, and has launched gold coins and silver dollars for merchants to use, they are naturally grateful to Dade.

"Hurry up, move quickly."

On the streets of Gaochang City, a wealthy merchant in gorgeous clothes was constantly urging more than a dozen strong men with carts, which were full of gold, silver and copper coins that had been stored in the past, adding up to tens of thousands of pounds and tens of thousands of catties.

As a businessman, he knew the original intention of the currency issuance, and had seen the quality of the new currency with his own eyes, so as soon as the money bank opened, merchants from all over the country actively took all the gold, silver and copper coins in their hands to the money bank to exchange for new currency.

In addition to the merchants, represented by the Guo family, some Hexi families also joined the exchange ranks out of support for Wei Shuo.

I have to say that the influence of the Maison is really great, and under the leadership of the Maison, the Western Regions and Hexi quickly set off a wave of exchanging new currency.

When the wealthy merchant rushed to the money village with people, the door had been surrounded by people inside and outside the three floors, fortunately there were government soldiers to maintain order, otherwise I really don't know what chaos would be.

I don't know how long I waited, but it was finally the turn of the rich businessman, he was not like ordinary people, he only transported a cart of gold, silver and copper coins to the money village for weighing, and then exchanged them for a cart of new coins and shipped out.

Someone next to him kindly reminded him not to be taken advantage of by the bank, but the rich merchant just pouted and didn't bother to answer.

As a wealthy businessman specializing in foreign trade, every time he makes a sale, there will be a large amount of profit in his account, how can he care about this little profit?

With this grinding effort, it is not as cost-effective as meeting a few Persian merchants.

When the last exchange was completed, the wealthy merchant happily carried the new coins home.

As the merchants and families took the lead in exchanging money, coupled with the excellent quality of the new currency, the common people who were hesitant before took out the old money and bad money that had been prepared one after another, and poured into the money bank office counter to go through the exchange procedures.

For a while, the money village was crowded, and a large number of specially trained clerks were busy sweating, but everyone's faces were full of excitement.

Just now, Lord Du Hu personally promised that after being busy, those who have made meritorious contributions will always be rewarded.

In order to get the reward, all the clerks are eager to use all their strength to eat.

Yin E, who is also the director of Qian Zhuang, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the scene in front of her, even if according to Wei Shuo's words, this is just the first step in the long march, but a good start makes her more confident to deal with the next impact.

Thanks to the high prestige of Weishuo, the new currency was quickly circulated and listed in Hexi and the Western Regions.

As for Qinzhou and Guanzhong, which are further away, they have no time to take care of it for the time being, so they can only rely on the influence of caravans to slowly promote monetary unification in a trickling way.

Fortunately, no one is aware of the importance of currency at the moment, and the circulation of currency cannot be stopped by administrative means alone, so that the new currency gradually spreads out of Hexi and spreads to various places.

In just half a month, the money bank exchanged millions of yuan, and the money and profits from it alone were as high as hundreds of thousands.

The profit is so great that the whole Metropolitan Government is excited.

At this time, everyone also realized the importance of Qian Zhuang, and at the same time was full of envy for Yin E, who was also the two main directors of Shang Cao and Qian Zhuang.

It's not that no one volunteered to recommend themselves in front of Wei Shuo, but in the face of strict assessment, many people had to retreat.

Because Qian Zhuang is too important, Wei Shuo will naturally not be easily handed over to others, and Yin E is currently the most suitable person.

In addition, in order to strengthen management, Wei Shuo directly attributed the money village to his own leadership, and was subject to the dual supervision of Ji Cao and the Supervision Department, so as to avoid people violating the law and discipline within the money bank.

……

With the passage of time, the new coins issued by Shazhou gradually spread from Gaochang to the surrounding areas. Among them, Lü Guang, who occupied the eastern part of Hexi, was the first to be impacted, and it also caused a huge turmoil.

In view of the excellent quality of the new currency, it was sought after by the people as soon as it entered the market, and the original old currency was exchanged for new currency.

It didn't take long for the new coins to squeeze the Maison's private coins out of the market.

Seeing that the new currency infringed on their own interests, the Hexi family ran to Lu Guang to complain, asking him to prohibit the circulation of new coins in Hexi.

However, the Maison did not know that administrative measures could not stop the circulation of new coins, and the Maison could only watch as new coins took over the entire market.

The family was unwilling to be robbed of their own interests, so they secretly encouraged Lü Guang to send troops to recruit Wei Shuo.

After nearly a year of recuperation, coupled with the continuous support of the family, Lu Guang felt that his strength had recovered.

At the same time, he also felt that Wei Shuo was becoming more and more threatening, so he decided to accept the Maison's suggestion.

And Wei Shuo didn't expect that the issuance of the new currency would prompt Lu Guang to send troops in advance, and for a while, the land of Hexi, which had just been calm for a year, was once again covered with war clouds.
