When Yang Du came to Taiyuan, in the north, he crossed Baotou and Baiyun Obo, and continued to move forward, gradually moving towards the Mongolian steppe, and the two railways, like giant dragons, extended rapidly. ｛

At this time, on the railway, a train was running, and its end point was not too far north, only about 80 kilometers away from the border of the later generations.

In itself, in such a place where birds do not lay eggs, the construction of a railway, among the shareholders of Baotou, caused considerable doubts, but Yang Yuanzhao strongly implemented this qiē, and forced the railway plan, a total of more than 300 kilometers, deep into the hinterland of Mongolia, without any urban deserted places.

Fortunately, there are only more than 300 kilometers, and it is only a double line, 600 kilometers of railway, under the construction of all efforts, it only took 3 months to complete and open to traffic, on the eve of the opening of traffic, originally according to the fixed survey team, near the end of the railway, found a large gold and copper mine.

This discovery stunned everyone, gold and copper, all precious metals, the former as a metal reserve, is recognized as the world's recognized hard currency, as long as you hold gold, you can buy a qiē that can be bought, the latter, is an important military material, in addition to the bullet case, but also in many weapons, there is a considerable use.

China has always lacked gold and copper, and this discovery, even if it is only a part, represents a huge wealth, not to mention, the two large iron ore and coal mines discovered from Mongolia, but the conditions are relatively harsh, for the time being, it is better not to mine.

At present, Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and it is located in the northwest. It was far from affecting the entire Mongolian army, the strength of several towns. It may be sprinkled throughout the Mongolian steppes and deserts, and it will disappear. This is the root cause of Yang Yuanzhao's actions, gold and copper mines, but can be surveyed and mined, just to transport the ore back, what kind of mining technology, compared to Yang Yuanzhao's all-in-one machine, can completely leave the gold and copper.

This is known as the largest discovery in Mongolia around the 21st century, and it is only less than 80 kilometers away from the Chinese border, making it a huge gold mine. The prospective reserves are 1,200 tons, and the copper reserves are 33.7 million tons, which is enough to make people look at the gold and copper even in China in later generations.

The ore from the gold and copper mine will be stored in a special warehouse in Zài, where only Yang Yuanzhao can enter, and after refining the gold and copper, he will convert it into copper ingots or gold bars. It was then in reserve at the Northwest Bank.

Northwest Bank, this is also a matter on the agenda after Baotou's independence, before. Even if a government is established, it uses silver and eagles, which are equal to the income from coinage. are all earned by foreigners.

Even if Yang Yuanzhao had the ability to establish a bank, he did not dare to act rashly. The emergence of a currency can easily arouse the attention of the Qing court. And now, with a complete regime, finance can no longer be controlled by others, it must have its own currency.

With the independence of Baotou, and even occupy the entire Shanxi, the power of the northwest, for the first time on the stage of the whole of China, the current population is only more than 12000000, the territory of the control zhì is only the whole of Shanxi and part of Mongolia, these places are the essence, with the help of Baotou's developed industry, all kinds of powerful industrial supplies, from Baotou here, a steady stream of flooding the whole China.

The developed railway, so that Baotou is no longer a barren northern city, he and the important cities, the contact, a certain way, more close, some of the light industry connected with the city is more closely connected, has been accompanied by the production of machine qì, began to popularize the various cities, late sunny China, has undergone earth-shaking changes, foreign fire, ash such things, used to be too expensive, even steel, the whole of China, can be used to use stainless steel farm tools, only a very small part, now, With the gradual expansion of the steel plant, the things that used to be expensive to die have become something that ordinary people can use, and at this time, along with the commerce of Baotou, has gradually touched every tentacle of the whole China, and the money village of the Jin merchants has become somewhat unsuitable for the development of China.

The bank established by Yang Yuanzhao is no longer a bank of the old system, not a tool for developed countries and powers to draw blood from China, but a real booster of industrial development.

These Yang Yuanzhao is very unfamiliar, but in this era, the financial industry is not complicated to the kind of Cheng dù in later generations, under the advocacy of Yang Yuanzhao, with the support of the Jin merchant ticket number, the entire Baotou side, more than 200 different ticket numbers, the power of these ticket numbers, are concentrated in one, and the reserve has almost reached 5 billion silver dollars.

This wealth is not the most concentrated in the bank, at this time, Yang Yuanzhao also came up with his killer feature, 500 tons of gold and 13,000 tons of silver, 500 tons of gold, this is already a huge number, but 13,000 tons of silver, this is even bigger, enough for Yang Yuanzhao to occupy the largest shareholder of the bank, with the help of such a huge precious metal, Baotou has become possible to issue credit currency.

China for thousands of years, the formation of more conventional things, silver and copper, or more commonly used currency, Baotou can not eat a fat man, he used paper money and copper round and silver dollar parallel system, the silver dollar refers to the Mexican dragon ocean, take the front is the whole Mount Tai, the back is the highest building in Baotou, the main building of the Baotou Bank, with a small font on it, depicting the text of the five clans, in order to prevent someone from scraping off the silver dollar to make a profit, at the edge of the place, formed a zigzag.

The whole silver dollar is slightly smaller than Yingyang, but the thickness has increased a little, the overall weight is about the same as Yingyang, but more exquisite and beautiful, the appearance is very exquisite, the proportion is also very cooperative, as much as ninety percent of the silver and copper mixture, as well as a small part of the special alloy metal, so that the whole silver dollar looks very beautiful, not so much a currency, more like a handicraft, Baotou here is a perfect formula, plus more than a ton of stamping machine, so that every small link, are lifelike, Baotou is still on the publicity, After a lot of effort, for some identification methods of silver dollars, some storytellers were specially invited to go to various places to tell the story, which is equivalent to preparing for one month before it was really issued.

For this, the people of Baotou are welcome, in the past, Yingyang, all kinds of currencies, as well as the so-called flying tickets, mixed with fish and dragons, Baotou is becoming more and more prosperous business, especially some ordinary chambers of commerce, they have to be affected by these currencies, these complex currencies, to exchange huàn is a very difficult thing, and even there is a depreciation, and even the phenomenon of losing all money, later during the First World War, the establishment of the Soviet Union, so that a large number of Russian banks went bankrupt, especially Daosheng Bank, almost took hundreds of millions of wealth from China, more ruthless than the UK.

Now, Yang Yuanzhao, who has a huge influence, leads the Baotou Bank, and the Baotou government has a strong credibility, plus huge precious metal reserves, 500 tons of gold and 13,000 tons of silver, and 5 billion silver dollars, which will be minted in a special form and stored in the Baotou Bank, partly minting new coins, and partly as reserves for the issuance of banknotes.

Exquisite silver dollars, simple and easy to distinguish, a certain degree of dù above, to avoid the birth of counterfeit money, at the very least, in the Baotou control area, the popularity of storytellers and broadcasting, and even with the increase in the literacy rate of the people, the discipline of counterfeit money is almost very low, the fake is too ruthless to see at a glance, as for the real Baotou silver coin, the cost, it is so high that there is no profit.

Because copper rounds, silver dollars, and even a small number of gold coins, this is more recognizable, after a period of introduction and promotion, this is taken out, and it is sought after by the market at once, foreign currencies are gradually driven out of Baotou, and Baotou Bank has also set up thousands of outlets in the entire northwest to exchange these foreign currencies, gold, silver and copper coins, because of the relationship between Baotou, the value of these currencies is temporarily relatively stable.

The issuance of currency, so that the Northwest Bank completely stood firm, a large number of social scattered funds, although most of them are foreign currency and the currency issued by the great powers in China, it is inevitable to be exploited, but the power of the banking group, can still exchange these into Baotou needed things, the worst, all the losses, let the all-in-one machine print a large number of foreign currency to make up, of course, this is the worst choice, maybe it will cause a backlash from the powers.

After the currency of the Northwest Bank passed in the northwest, Yang Yuanzhao was also preparing banknotes, banknotes are Yang Yuanzhao's top priority, when he crossed over, he carried a wallet among them, there was a batch of banknotes, that technology, in this world, or can not be reached, after all, it is the technology after 100 years, whether it is watermarking, or multi-layer printing, it is worth some ripples and textures, which are much higher than this era.

Directly take out the renminbi of later generations, this is the most comfortable, there are all the banknotes in the wallet, but unfortunately this is only an alternative program, can not turn the all-in-one machine into a banknote printing factory, now it is good to say a little, in the future, with the increase in the scope of Baotou control, the increase in the range of coin circulation, do you want to live, more than 500 million people of the huge China, the future of the total amount of currency is an astronomical number, and even the replacement of the residual currency is a huge number, if you really choose this, Yang Yuanzhao's daily task in the future is to print money.

Yang Yuanzhao thought about it a lot, and comprehensively asked many people's opinions, and finally came up with a mature banknote. (To be continued......) R527
