The first batch of gold, silver and copper ingots began to return to Zhoushan Wharf with the fleet, and the flotilla did not go west directly to Dongzhi County or Yongning County before starting to go north, but went directly north and returned to Zhoushan Wharf according to the theodolite, which meant the progress of navigation technology.

With the return of precious metals, as for those non-metallic ores, because many technologies have not yet reached the standard, they can only find a place to store them first. Many ore prospectors, according to the knowledge imprinted in memory, can tell, but what is the use of these ores, in fact, there is no condition to use them at all.

Quartz and limestone can be used to smelt glass and cement. The resulting cement can be used in the construction of local residential houses. After all, Li Yu is also planning to use Keelung Port as a starting point to create a harbor city, and some residents will definitely move in the future to live in the past.

So the cement factory and the glass factory were established, and the first batch of glass with not very beautiful colors was completed in March, which was terrible in modern people's senses, but it was already very good in terms of glass.

More than 30 pieces of glazed products were transported back with the fleet, and it took a lot of thought to be careful not to break them. After Li Yu got it in his hand, he simply followed the technician who came back from the boat to explain.

Although the other party has technology, in the end it lacks enough experience, Li Yu requires that every glass vessel must be colorless and transparent crystals, especially no bubbles, for example, there are many bubbles in these more than 30 pieces now.

Only then did the technician know that he was still too proud, and he was embarrassed to come back to ask for credit for making such a few defective products. Fortunately, Li Yu was very satisfied with being able to achieve this point at this stage, and sent someone to reward the skilled workers with a lot of rewards. Of course, these rewards will go directly to their families here on the mainland, after all, they have nowhere to spend their money there.

"Who would have thought that such a beautiful glass vessel would still be a defective product in the eyes of the Führer." Yuan Jian came over this time, mainly to check the precious metals that were shipped back, but when he saw those glazed products, he really couldn't take his eyes off. After hearing Li Yu's evaluation again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

The glass factory is a state-owned enterprise, but it is essentially Li Yu's factory. The state has the power to supervise and monitor factories, but it is absolutely not allowed to point fingers and interfere with operations, and at the same time, it is not allowed to transfer and sell technology at will. Otherwise, even if it is a government action, it will be regarded as an illegal act of infringing on the private property of others, and the relevant personnel must accept administrative penalties or even criminal punishments! After all, in the Constitution, Article 1 clearly states that 'private property is sacrosanct'!

Li Yu enjoys the patent of the glaze, and also won the fifteen years, in other words, within the scope of the Chinese Republic of China, can operate the glaze and make a profit, can only be Li Yu, of course, the country will also get a certain amount of dividends, and even a small number of managers and technicians can also enjoy dividends.

"Perfection, that's my motto. Besides, the existence of this quality is indeed nothing...... If Yao Qing wants to, just take one back and do it. It's not worth much anyway, I'm going to sell it at parity! Li Yu said with a smile.

"Why is that? Supposedly, if this thing is sold to those family gate valves, it can obviously be exchanged for more money! Yuan Jian was a little puzzled.

"Everyone is Chinese, and the Republic of China will not only have as much territory as the five counties of Yangzhou. In the future, when the better glass is sold at a low price, how can those family gate valves not know that they have been deceived? Li Yu said with a smile.

"No, no, no, please ask the head of state to hand over these more than 30 pieces of glazed ware to his subordinates for disposal, and directly take them to the Han Empire, or the Han Republic for auction. The subordinates will quote the reserve price as three copper coins at that time, and how much the final profit is the price given by others, if they want to be fools, let them go! Yuan Jian denied this statement, and then proposed.

Speaking of which, everyone didn't know the value of this thing, and because this thing was mainly only shipped in Li Yu's hands, and the quantity was uncertain, Yuan Jian was completely able to auction these glass utensils in the form of auction.

The reserve price he gave was three, which meant that there was already a hint that this thing was worth three copper coins. If other family gate valves still want to fight for this, then even if they are really stupid, can they still find trouble with Yuan Jian afterwards?

"Okay, it's for you!" Li Yu also understood Yuan Lian's intentions, so he naturally handed over the things to him.

"Is that really that cheap?" After Yuan Lian left, Ren Hongchang asked a little reluctantly. After all, Li Yu didn't leave any of them, and it was clear that in her opinion, the quality of those utensils was actually very good.

"It's just something obtained by burning sand, of course it's not valuable, it's just the process of firing, and that's the most valuable existence at this stage. Besides, whether it's the shape or the color, it's not first-class, it's not second-rate, not to mention that there are eye-catching bubbles inside. This thing tells me that a copper coin is not worth it! Li Yu shook his head and said.

"So that's ......" Ren Hongchang was relieved, after all, women are indeed not immune to this kind of shiny thing. But once you know the value, it's much less attractive.

"Peace of mind, when the better glass utensils are burned, I will let them make a set of tea sets or tableware, and put them directly at home, whatever you think when the time comes!" Li Yu is also rare to be generous.

"Führer, it's time to go to work...... Be serious! Ren Hongchang couldn't help but reply shyly.

"Yes, yes, I know......" Li Yu smiled faintly, Ren Hongchang's appearance as a professional female secretary is indeed very sultry. However, when she was working, she did not go back to talk about her children's private affairs as much as possible, which also made him admire.

With the first batch of precious metals, there will naturally be a second batch, and more and more gold, silver and copper have begun to converge, making Yuan Jian a little unable to close his legs recently. According to his meaning, all these gold, silver and copper should be minted into new coins and enter the market as soon as possible.

After a year of development, the market began to become active, and the increase in population also led to an increase in consumption, and the circulation of money began to increase, so that the supply of money began to be a little insufficient. Nowadays, in the black market, one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred and fifty copper coins, and one gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred and seventy silver coins, and it seems that there are people who have begun to deliberately hoard gold coins.

The currency of the Han Empire and the Republic of Han also depreciated to a certain extent, and although the rough craftsmanship was still a bit anti-counterfeiting, it was also very limited, at least for the Republic of China, the coinage technology of the two countries had long been cracked.

The currencies of the two countries do not contain a large amount of precious metals, which makes the texture very hard, and because of this, the proportion of new currency exchanged for the Republic of China is also increasing. Most of the gold, silver and copper mines in China were not easy to mine, and the Han Republic even started the idea of Hu slaves, relying on the miners of the two families to make up for the increase in mining costs.

In this way, the depreciation of the new currencies of the two countries is still very rapid. Insufficient circulation, as well as poor quality, are dead ends.

Guan Miao, who has become the governor of the central bank, said yesterday that the quality of the new currencies of the two countries has further deteriorated, and it seems that they will further lower the exchange standards in response to this situation today to ensure the interests of the people.

What's more, such as Lin Ming, at this moment, after Yuan Lian's speech, publicly said: "Why don't you add fuel to the fire, directly destroy the monetary systems of their two countries, and let our new currency monopolize the market?" ”

In the end, he won, and at least sixty percent of the gold, silver, and copper ingots were immediately secretly made into even inferior currencies, but there was almost no difference in anti-counterfeiting technology, and began to flow into the market.

In other words, through Yang Lang's special forces, it is directly taken to the two countries for consumption. Yang Lang also complained for a long time about this, saying that these special combat soldiers are not so useful......

By May 193 A.D., as a large number of counterfeit coins entered the markets of the two countries, and the quality of the counterfeit coins became worse and worse, the people began to feel the crisis, so they began to run on them in large numbers. He would even prefer to exchange it for the sturdy new currency of the Republic of China. So far, the only currency that has not depreciated, but is only appreciating, is it.

The two countries also planned to make counterfeits of this currency, but neither the casting process nor the anti-counterfeiting technology were in this condition to imitate it. Even if it is counterfeited, under the special publicity, it is basically known at a glance that it is a counterfeit currency.

Unconsciously, the gold coins of the Han Empire were originally three gold coins exchanged for two Huaxia Republics, and the same was true of the Han Republic; Up to now, the gold coins of the Han Empire need twenty coins to exchange for one gold coin of the Chinese Republic; It's even worse on the Han Republic's side, it takes fifty to exchange for one!

By June 15, the real economic disaster began to appear, perhaps the first time in China's history that it was a 'national' economic disaster. The new currencies of the two countries have completely lost their credit, and the people are constantly running on them, preferring to exchange them for the original gold, silver and copper ingots, or exchange them for the new coins of the Chinese Republic.

The new coins of the two countries, even if they were minted on this day, could not be more pure, and the people and even the gate valves did not have any confidence in them. Currency originally relied on government credit, and the result of credit bankruptcy was a large depreciation of the currency, which had nothing to do with the purity of gold, silver and copper.

On the contrary, through the use of counterfeit money in large quantities, the Huaxia Republic purchased a large number of raw materials at low prices, which even promoted the economic development of the Xuzhou military government. At the same time, the banks of the two places stopped exchanging the new currencies of the other two countries early, which also guaranteed the interests of the people of the two countries.

Eventually, the other two countries had to completely abolish the new currency and relaunch a new currency. And it was officially announced that the precious metal content would be constant from then on. Liu Wei guarantored in the name of the royal family, and the Han Republic was jointly guarantored by the family gatekeepers, and finally organized the further expansion of the crisis.

The people still have some doubts about the new currency, which makes the ratio of the new currency of the two currencies and the new currency of the Chinese Republic of China to maintain a degree of three to one after the issuance of the two currencies. By the way, the new currency of the Republic of China has also become the strongest currency, just like the most unreliable rice dollar in later generations......

The Republic of China also took advantage of this economic crisis to directly slaughter two countries and make a lot of money. The economies of the two countries almost regressed directly to the initial state, and even many soldiers almost got into trouble because of the issue of military salaries.

In the end, it was finally suppressed by the bullet, which also had a great impact on the morale of the military. Coupled with the regression of the economy, the assets of many gate valves have also shrunk suddenly, so that there are also dissatisfied voices within the gate valves.

Yang Lang never thought that his actions could bring so much harm, and it is said that this situation would not have happened before. Everything appeared in front of him like this, and he could not deny it.

In desperation, I can only admit that the times are different, and many things are different...... (To be continued.) )
