After the security army captured Zhaoyuan, the entire Shandong battlefield stopped fighting in other places except for Kong Youde, who was still attacking Laizhou. The official army of the www.biquge.info did not take advantage of Zhang Chu's victory to attack, and the rebels did not have the strength to expand their territory.

Of course, the emperor was very happy about Zhang Chu's victory, and he felt that he was wise and powerful, and it was not good to send so many ministers, so he personally took action, and he appeased a thief, and let them win again and again on the battlefield of counterinsurrection, which is enough to prove that those ministers are stupid, and only the emperor can see everything.

However, the emperor also has the emperor's difficulties, he wants to reward him without silver, and he met the ministers as always, and the ministers did not have much opinion on Zhang Chu, but instinctively and felt that the emperor had to oppose everything in order to appear that he was clever, he had iron bones, and it was not his own people who wanted to be promoted, Zhang Chu had no filial piety, and the ministers rarely reached a to, and they all opposed Zhang Chu's promotion, their reasons were very sufficient, Zhang Chu had just been promoted not long ago, and he would be arrogant if this official was promoted too quickly. The real reason is that these victories were won by a military general and a eunuch, and there is nothing to do with civil officials, and this kind of thing cannot be encouraged.

The emperor didn't want to turn his face with the ministers because of such a trivial matter, so he had to give an order to encourage Zhang Chu, and what he said was good and had no substance.

Wang Chengen listened to the content of the holy decree, and he was also upset for Zhang Chuming. But he couldn't help it.

Zhang Chuben didn't expect anything from the emperor, and concentrated on starting the construction of Shandong.

The agreement on peaceful coexistence with the rebels was well enforced, and the security forces did not interfere with the communication between Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the security forces also swaggered past the rebels when they were in contact with the outside of Shandong. The gold and silver seized from the Battle of Zhaoyuan and the subsequent gold mines were transported out of Shandong in exchange for large quantities of supplies and grain, which were built in a huge industrial area centered on Yantai.

Zhang Chu not only established various mines, but also established a large number of factories for civilian goods, and established textile factories one after another in places with sufficient water resources.

The establishment of these factories is a boon for Shandong people, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can find a suitable job in the factory.

In particular, the establishment of textile factories has provided opportunities for women to earn income in the vast number of families, especially in the factories set up by the security forces with all female workers, from the master to the manager, all of whom are women, so as to avoid being gossiped about and bring income to the family, and many women have left the family and entered the factory.

On the day of the payroll, the workers in the factory were in high spirits. The factory implemented a piecework wage system, and everyone had no complaints about the amount of wages, and the workers were even more excited when they received the silver and copper coins from the workers.

Because the silver dollar issued is the security army cast Zhang Datou, this has a big head on the head of the silver dollar style is exquisite, the color is sufficient, and it is easy to use, no need to weigh one by one, the toothed pattern on the edge of the silver dollar prevents the cutting of the silver dollar, so that the weight of the silver dollar is always constant, and the number of times it is used.

Everyone thinks that the appearance of the big head above is still cute, and the word security guard on it is also very auspicious. These silver dollars were very popular in the market, and gradually became popular in Shandong, and soon spread beyond Shandong.

The workers received silver dollars and copper coins from Huang Cancan, which were absolutely good money, and it seemed that the conscience of the security army was indeed much better than that of those black-hearted landlords.

These copper coins are also the products of the security army, and the right to mint coins is an important right of the state, and the minting of coins in all dynasties is controlled by the state, and private coinage is illegal. But because there are huge interests here, the act of privately casting copper coins is repeatedly prohibited, the world is full of all kinds of copper coins of different colors, some black-hearted casters in order to obtain greater benefits, the copper coins are made more and more light and thin, and the content of impurities such as iron added to the copper coins is getting higher and higher, so there is a distinction between good money and bad money, in fact, even if the best copper coins are minted, there are still huge profits, after arriving in Shandong, Zhang Chu found that there are huge profits, and Zhang Chu, who is a fan of money, will certainly not let go of this opportunity to make money.

A factory for casting copper coins was built in a hidden valley, and the rich experience of the craftsmen of the security army in smelting steel was used to cast copper coins, and Zhang Chu fully showed the conscience of an imitator and set a quality standard that was not lower than that of the official copper coins.

The attitude of honesty and the excellent craftsmanship make the copper coins cast particularly exquisite, and they are welcomed by the people as soon as they appear in the world. Zhang Chu was not satisfied with using these copper coins for circulation in the areas he occupied, through various channels

The copper coins were smuggled to other provinces, and in a few days, these copper coins minted in Shandong appeared even in the capital.

Of course, the government has to track down the appearance of private money, chase back and forth, and find that most of these copper coins come from Shandong, Shandong is now occupied by the rebels, and no one dares to go there to inquire, but everyone judges that these copper coins are very likely to be minted by the rebels, but even if these copper coins are not minted by the rebels, they have to be planted on the heads of the rebels, and the people in the government always have to give an explanation to the above. The copper coin was minted by the rebels, you have to find the rebels, the court is not capable of eliminating the rebels, so it is normal for some private money to appear on the market, and finally the matter of tracking down the private money will be over. The reputation of this Shandong copper coin is getting louder and louder, circulating in Beijing and the surrounding provinces, and the silver dollar printed with Zhang Chu's head is circulating together, there is no restriction on the silver dollar government, this is real silver, but the shape is different from the usual ingots, this silver dollar can be circulated and used and can be collected and played, and is naturally welcomed everywhere.

Zhang Chu opened a branch of Zhongyang Bank in Zhaoyuan City, carried out the exchange business of silver dollars and copper coins, collected deposits, and issued low-interest loans. Occupy more currency markets, hanging in the prosperity of Beijing, the money here does not make Zhang Chu sent people to open an underground money bank in Beijing, exchanging silver dollars and copper coins outside, but I didn't expect it to be very popular, the people tried every means to buy those exquisite copper coins, and exchanged them for silver dollars that were easy to use and good fine.

Zhang Chu was extremely happy to see that the mint was working day and night, and the copper coins and silver dollars produced were still in short supply.

The people who used the security army's copper coins and silver dollars all paid seigniorage to Zhang Chu, and the wealth flowed to the security army unconsciously.

It's not too much money to make, Zhang Chu decided to open up his financial resources, as long as he can make money, he wants to do anything.

The factory produced things that needed to be sold to make money, and Zhang Chu not only sold the products of his factory to the surrounding provinces of Shandong, but also set his sights on the Japanese market. (To be continued.) )
