"Governor, Sun Yat-sen has returned to China..."On December 25, Yue Chang walked into the office with a telegram that had just been sent.

"Already back home?" After taking the telegram, Yan Guang read it carefully. “… Sure enough, I've already returned to China..."

"Yes, I arrived in Shanghai this morning." Yue Chang nodded.

After reading all the messages on the telegram, Yan Guang threw the telegram on the table. "Since he is back, then Li Yuanhong and Huang Xing don't have to fight for the position of president...", Yan Guang looked at Song Dinghan as he spoke. Let's move on to the bank. ”

Although none of the equipment needed by the bank in Shanghai has been delivered, it is still necessary to set up the shelves in advance. After Yan Guang left Yucheng, Song Dinghan was busy with the bank's affairs for more than ten days.

"There are basically no problems with the personnel." Song Dinghan said. "It turned out that Zhu Zhihong, who was the political axe of the Shu army, once opened a Dahan bank, and the personnel were ready-made, so I took it directly. The location of the bank's headquarters and several branches has also been chosen, and now only the required equipment remains..."

"That's good."

"And the currency problem, boss, we shouldn't have any financial problems now, right?" The implication is to ask Yan Guang if there is any danger of lack of money now.

"Finance?" Yan Guang thought about it carefully, and then replied affirmatively. "No problem at all..."

Although more than 10 million silver dollars were spent on the purchase of ordnance and various equipment, including the 30 million US dollars from the sale of oil fields and the various proceeds received subsequently, Yan Guang still had at least 200 million silver dollars on hand at present, which would be 150 million taels if converted into Kuping silver. You must know that the annual financial income of the Qing Zheng Axe is only 300 million taels of flat silver, and Yan Guang's own net worth is equivalent to half of the annual financial income of the Qing Zheng Axe.

Using half of the country's wealth to support a province's finances can be said to be stress-free, and if Yan Guang is willing, he can even buy a Dreadnought-class battleship and come back as a yacht for himself.

It's a rich country, and the soul is faint, although it's only half the enemy...

"No problem?" After getting the answer, Song Dinghan nodded. "If this is the case, I suggest that the bank should issue silver dollars and copper dollars at the beginning of its establishment, and do not issue paper money for the time being, and wait until our political axe and bank have a certain reputation before issuing it..."

"Won't paper money be issued for the time being?" Pouring some juice into his cup, Yan Guang nodded in agreement. "You're in charge of the bank, and since you think it's better, do it." Since the finances are abundant, Yan Guang does not care about the benefits that can be brought by the issuance of banknotes.

"Since you agreed, boss, then I'll do it." Nodding, Song Dinghan was ready to continue the work of the bank.

It's just that just when Song Dinghan was about to leave the office, he was suddenly stopped by Yan Guang. "Ding Han, you wait a minute."

"Is there anything else? Boss? ”

Although Song Dinghan asked, Yan Guang just gave him a very handsome pose. "Do you two think my face is still photogenic?"

"Photogenic?" Song Dinghan and Yue Chang didn't understand it a little, but since Yan Guang said his face...

I took a closer look at Yan Guang's face, although I couldn't use the jade tree to face the wind, the abundance of handsomeness, the beauty of flowers, the flowers and branches, the exhibition...

I can't go on...

Although Yan Guang's appearance cannot be regarded as particularly handsome, at least he can be regarded as a little handsome, to paraphrase the current parlance, it is above the level line, so Yue Chang and Song Dinghan nodded and said. "Not bad..."Indeed, it can only be called good.

Hearing the two of them say this, Yan Guang changed to a more handsome posture again. "Since you think so, what do you think of the front of the silver dollar with my side of my face printed on it?"

"What?" Song Dinghan and Yue Chang felt as if they had auditory hallucinations in their ears just now...

In fact, the idea of printing his own side face on the silver dollar was already in place when Yan Guang decided to start a bank.

Imprinting his own side face on the front of the silver dollar, this idea was already in Yan Guang when he decided to start a bank, and now he said it just because Yan Guang felt that the time had come. As for why you printed your face on the front of the silver dollar? It was completely inspired by Yuan Datou.

Yuan Datou is the silver dollar issued by Yuan Shikai after becoming president, and in a sense, Yuan Datou can almost be called the representative of China's silver dollar. Especially in later generations, as long as you hear the word "ocean", the first reaction in your mind is probably Yuan Datou.

It can be said that the issuance of Yuan Datou not only enhanced Yuan Shikai's prestige and status in China, but also contributed to the unification of China's monetary system. Of course, Yan Guang hasn't thought so far now, at least for now, he just wants to improve his prestige in Sichuan.

Song Dinghan and Yue Chang were both smart people, so they quickly figured out Yan Guang's purpose.

"So... It's okay..."Song Dinghan thought against his will. "At least when the silver dollar circulates to other provinces, it will not affect the image of our province..."

After making sure that neither of them objected, Yan Guang took the opportunity to make his request. In fact, it's nothing, it's just the same as Yuan Datou in history.

"I see." After noting down Yan Guang's request, Song Dinghan nodded.

Just as Song Dinghan was about to leave, Wang Yaowu suddenly walked in from outside.

"Boss, Minister Pu has just sent a telegram back, saying that Nanjing is preparing for the election of an interim president, and he asked us who should we vote for then?" Obviously, the revolutionary faction and the constitutionalist faction have reached a consensus that Sun Yat-sen is the best candidate before Yuan Shikai anyway.

"Sun Yat-sen and Li Yuanhong?" Although it was a question, Yan Guang's tone was quite affirmative.

"That's right." Wang Yaowu nodded. "It's Sun Yat-sen and Li Yuanhong."

"Then vote for Sun Yat-sen, there is actually no suspense in this matter..."

"I see." Wang Yaowu nodded. "Then I'll send a telegram to Minister Pu."

However, just as Wang Yaowu was about to send a telegram to Pu Dianjun, he was suddenly stopped by Yan Guang from behind.

"There's one more thing..."Yan Guang hesitated a little when he said this. You tell Pu Dianjun that if Sun Yat-sen wins this presidential election, let him ask Sun Yat-sen something..."

“？”

"Ask him, do you remember Kaoru Otsuki..."
