Section 335 The Jade Seal of the Country
Americans don't care about the jade seal at all, they are more interested in the book next to it, because as archaeology, it is still the most valuable thing in words, and works of art are very expensive, but words are expensive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What is this word?"
The Americans questioned a middle-aged Japanese scholar in English.
The scholar also paid attention to the jade seal, and said angrily: "I Ching! ”
The book had the word I Ching written on the cover.
The American went to get it with gloves, but accidentally dropped something in the book, and everyone saw that it was a tree branch, which gave people the feeling of even verdant, but as soon as they saw the air, it turned black and carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The American could not help but blame himself, he was too careless, and immediately carefully clamped the branch with a wooden clip and put it in a glassware with preservatives in it.
Then I carefully stored the book, wrapped it in silk gently, and planned to take it back to the laboratory for reading.
At this time, the Americans paid attention to other things, and saw that the Chinese and the Japanese were carefully looking at the jade seal, and the Americans did not understand very well, so he picked up the golden tiger next to him, and found that there was only half a piece, and the Americans felt that there should be half a piece together to be a complete thing.
"What is this?"
The Americans asked the Japanese again.
The Japanese looked at it: "It should be a tiger talisman." ”
Then he ignored it and continued to admire the jade seal.
"Heirloom Jade Seal!"
The old master holding the jade seal in his hand swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, then looked at the others, some nodded, some shook their heads, but they didn't dare to judge.
Because no one has ever seen what the jade seal looks like, this jade seal is somewhat in line with the description of the jade seal, it seems that everyone can tell that it is the jade seal from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han dynasties, simple and even a little rough, but the material of the jade seal is extremely high-quality, extremely transparent, and slightly with a kind of emerald color.
It's no wonder that some people fainted, because this thing is too exciting for gold and stone scientists, they play with gold and stone all their lives, who doesn't want to see the legendary He's Bi, the style of the heirloom jade seal, they don't hope to see a piece of beautiful jade, they want to see that kind of historical value.
If this is the heirloom jade seal, it is too important.
The jade seal of the country has left too many legends, and some people in all dynasties have said that they have found the jade seal of the country, but the true and reliable is completely transmitted to the Tang Dynasty, and there are also records that the Mongolians got the jade seal of the country, after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the capital of Yuan, he repeatedly sent troops to the north and recaptured a batch of jewels, but did not get the jade seal.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always said that there are three regrets in his life, the first is that he did not pass on the national seal, the second is that he did not move the capital to Fengyang, and the third is that he did not exterminate the Mongols.
It can be seen that the Chinese are obsessed with the national seal, and whoever comes to this thing will be considered the true son of heaven.
"What is this? Why do you take it so seriously? ”
Although Ospen didn't know much about China's jade seal culture, he knew that the Chinese and Japanese had discovered something incredible, so he couldn't help but ask the Japanese Yamashita Dao.
Yamashita said: "It may be the national seal." ”
"What is the Seal of the Kingdom?"
Yamashita snorted, "It's a symbol of imperial power." It's like the sword in the stone in English legend. ”
"Oh God!"
As an English-speaking country, the United States has the weight of the sword in the stone in British history, and the seal of the country is what the weight is.
However, Ospen still didn't have any feelings for the jade seal, and if the sword in the stone was placed in front of him, he would definitely go crazy.
"It is more significant than the sword in the stone, this is the beginning of the unification of the imperial power of the Chinese, you can consider comparing the cabinet of the covenant."
The Japanese said again.
This time Osbon understood, he found something that made the Chinese crazy, and he was going to go crazy too.
But Osbourne wondered if it would be inappropriate to put this object in a museum in the United States.
Even if Cai Ye doesn't care about history anymore, he also knows the story of He's Bi and the heirloom jade seal, and he is a little confused at this time.
"Gentlemen, are you sure?"
He also felt a deep pressure.
couldn't help but glance back, the golden coffin, Yue Fei's coffin, the jade seal of the country, everything, it seemed that tomorrow would be decided, he even had a strong suspicion, if it wasn't for his personal involvement, he would definitely think that someone had done it, and the person who did it, who else except Yang Chao.
No matter how you look at it, this is a 'stone man with one eye' thing, which is made for the enthronement of the emperor.
Several epigraphers are also not sure: "It can only be said that it is very possible, and the truth and falsehood have to be determined after comparison." ”
"Can you compare?"
Li Xi, a well-known expert on gold and stone, said: "Of course you can, there are rubbings in the palace, and there are rubbings in the Qin and Han dynasties." ”
Cai Ye nodded.
This thing is so terrifying, I can't really make an emperor.
What if Yang Chao really wants to be the emperor?
He couldn't help but think deeply, he glanced back at Yue Fei again, and couldn't help but feel his heart boiling.
Do you really want to oppose it?
He had a very complicated mind.
Yang Chao was negotiating with Zhang Jiaao at this time.
Zhang Jiaao is currently the president of the Bank of China and an expert in economics.
This bank was reorganized by the Daqing Bank in 1912, or was established with the approval of Brother Pao, and has always shouldered the accusation of foreign banks, and has the power to print legal tender.
In 1915, more than 10 million banknotes had been printed in order to raise funds for Yuan Shikai, who simply did not have enough reserves.
Later, there was a run, Yuan Shikai ordered to stop the exchange, but Zhang Jiaao withstood the pressure, and together with the then president Song Hanzhang, decided to insist on cashing, otherwise the bank credit would go bankrupt, Zhang Jiaao visited Zhang Jian and other national capitalists, got the support of these people, and took a loan from Yangzi Bank to save the emergency.
Since then, the credit of the Bank of China has become stronger, and now the deposit and loan has exceeded 1 billion, making it one of the top three largest banks in Shanghai.
However, Zhang Jiaao has always been very resistant to official intervention in the banking industry, and he has since taken charge of the Bank of China, constantly looking for opportunities to expand the commercial shares in the bank, trying to turn the Bank of China into a commercial bank, not a state-run bank.
The reason why Yang Chao negotiated with Zhang Jiaao was because Yangzi Bank and Bank of China both had the right to issue banknotes, which was very unfavorable to the legalization of paper money, although Yangzi Bank basically monopolized the issuance of currency through its strength, and the currency issued by Bank of China was not even one-tenth of that of Yangzi Bank, but as long as Bank of China still had the right to issue banknotes, the currency could not be unified.
So he wanted to merge the two banks and restructure the central bank.
But Zhang Jiaao is unwilling to give up his autonomy, this is another person who is greedy for power, and he doesn't care much about economic interests, which is very difficult.
Later, when Song Ziwen set up the central bank, Zhang Jiaao was disobedient, Song Ziwen's method was to run the Bank of China, and Yang Chao could not do anything to run on the banks of his country, so he hoped to negotiate a settlement.
Zhang Jiaao is not not giving face to the president, but he is very persistent.
"Mr. Zhang, you are presiding over the Bank of China just to realize your ideals. It's better to give up the right to issue notes in this way, and you will be the president of Yangzi Bank. ”
Yang Chao lured that Yangzi Bank actually lacked a professional person, although Li Sidi also understood, but he still had a lot of things to do, and he often couldn't take care of them.
Zhang Jiaao was a little moved, but he still refused, Yangzi Bank was already very big, and it was impossible for him to have any achievements as the president of that bank.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think it's really good for a country to have two note-issuing banks? China needs a central bank! ”
Yang Chao asked.
Zhang Jiaao was embarrassed, he didn't think about this question, but if he didn't agree, wouldn't he become the main culprit who prevented China from establishing a central bank, which conflicted with his education.
"If the country wants to form a central bank, of course, it is a good thing, and the Bank of China is willing to be a commercial bank, but it must not merge with Yangzi Bank."
Zhang Jiaao put forward his bottom line, he is willing to give up the right to issue banknotes, but he is absolutely unwilling to lose the Bank of China.
"You mean to set up a new bank?"
Yang Chao wondered, he didn't know how the establishment of a new central bank was different from directly giving power to Yang Zi Bank.
Zhang Jiaao said: "That's right. If a new central bank were to be formed, the Bank of China would be willing to hand over the right to issue banknotes and then settle the banknotes that had already been issued. However, I hope that the president will put the country first, and Yangzi Bank will also give up the right to issue banknotes and take the right to issue banknotes into the hands of the state. ”
Well, this kid is suspecting that Yang Chao has bad intentions.
Yang Chao smiled: "It turns out that the crux of the problem is here." Okay, let's form a new bank, and call it Bank of China. But I lack a president, why don't you do it? ”
"Me?"
Zhang Jiaao hesitated.
Yang Chao said: "A small Bank of China, no matter how good it is, what achievements can it have, taking charge of a country's central bank and overseeing the country's banking industry, don't you think this is the ambition that a man should have?" ”
This is an idealist, different from a financier like Chen Guangfu, so Yang Chao used ideals to bewitch him.
"This, this!"
"You just say the conditions!"
Seeing his hesitation and knowing that he was already moved, Yang Chao said very simply.
Zhang Jiaao gritted his teeth: "I have three requirements. ”
"Speak!"
"First, the government must not interfere with the operation of the central bank; second, the establishment of a national reserve, which the government may not forcibly collect at any time; Third, the central bank settles the exchange of government funds. ”
Yang Chao was stunned after hearing this: "Good guy, you are going to beat Yang Zi Bank to death at this time." The central bank was established to stabilize finance, and the government could not interfere with the operation of the central bank. Of course, the national reserve has to be established, and it is also necessary not to mention it. But the funds are all through Yangzi Bank, and now they are all handed over to the central bank, what will Yangzi Bank eat? ”
Zhang Jiaao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he was really afraid that Yang Chao would agree, so he would have to become a central bank.
His current mood is that he wants to do it, but he doesn't want to do it, which is very contradictory. (To be continued.) )
