Tiger Mountain Main Courtyard, back study.

Zhu Daolin stood up and walked to the gate of the round arched courtyard, and looked at Ye Liangchen, who was staring at him on crutches five meters away, with a smile: "Master Ye, you haven't slept so late?" ”

Ye Liangchen saw that it was Zhu Daolin, and he was obviously relieved: "I just moved here for two days, and I found that everything here is too comfortable, and the thatched houses are more luxurious than the living rooms of most wealthy families in the city, so I can't sleep!" ”

Zhu Daolin couldn't help but smile, said "Please wait" and returned to his study, transferred the telescope and 15 kinds of highly confidential industrial science and technology books from the King Kong circle into the bookcase, and then picked up the red cotton shopping bag handed over by Liang Cheng and went out again, helping Ye Liangchen back to the west wing of the middle courtyard across the stone road and a piece of strange flowers and plants.

The west wing of the middle courtyard was originally the residence of Gu Mei's uncle, the big housekeeper Gu Sancai, it is a quiet and elegant building with a living room, three bedrooms and a study, equipped with a spacious and luxurious bathroom, and also installed tap water and flush toilets, the decoration of the large living room and bedroom and study is very elegant, and Zhu Daolin's special back study is one east and one west, far away, just because Gu Daolin's house has more children, after several villa-style buildings in the west courtyard next door were built, Gu Da Butler moved the whole family over, and now it is just the place of Zhu Daolin's first think tank Ye Liangchen Ye Master.

Zhu Daolin entered Ye Liangchen's study, and saw two thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girls with bright eyes and bright teeth saluting respectfully to him, knowing that this was the diligent girl selected by his wife Xiaoying for Master Ye, he smiled, and ordered the little girl to put the hot tea aside, and then bring a candlestick to light it.

Add a candlestick with three candles, the study is brighter, Zhu Daolin ordered the little girl who was guarding the side to go down to rest, took out a neat stack of coated paper from the shopping bag in his hand, and then took out two small metal boxes, and put them in front of Ye Liangchen, who was full of doubts: "Master Ye." Let's open it and take a look. ”

Ye Liangchen carefully opened the square metal box made of aluminum alloy, saw the exquisite silver coin in the center of the red lining, was slightly taken aback, quickly glanced at Zhu Daolin, who was silent with a smile, and took out the coin and brought it to the candlelight to look carefully: "Although it is suspected of violating the system, the workmanship is extremely exquisite." It seems to be a carriage from the Warring States period...... Hey? It was even cast in the name of Daming Bofu Bank, a yuan...... Did you mint it specifically for Bofu Money? ”

Zhu Daolin opened another box and sent the coin with the sailboat pattern to Ye Liangchen: "Two versions, choose one of the two, or use them together, I plan to start minting within half a year and gradually promote it, does Master Ye think it is feasible?" ”

Ye Liangchen frowned, and turned over and over the two shiny novelty silver dollars in his hand to look at them again and again. I weighed the weight and slowly put it down:

"It weighs about seven cents and three cents, it seems that you are planning to circulate it as half a tael of silver, in addition to about ninety percent of the silver, the remaining one percent is copper?"

Zhu Daolin was greatly admired: "Master Ye's eyes are like a torch!" The weight is seven coins and two cents, and it is made of ninety percent silver and one percent copper miscibility, and the points are exactly the same! ”

"These two silver dollars should be carved, and the casting cannot be so exquisite!" After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he picked up one again and played with it carefully. I can't help but praise it.

Zhu Daolin explained in detail: "These two samples are indeed carved and difficult to manufacture on a large scale. However, there is a kind of machine called a stamping machine in the Tianshu Pavilion, which mints coins by means of molds and pressure impacts, and the patterns are equally exquisite and clear, at least ten times stronger than the copper dollars minted nowadays. ”

"This machine is very simple to operate, and together with the rolling mill for rolling silver plates and other supporting machines, it can be purchased at Tianshu Pavilion. It only takes ten and a half days for a craftsman to operate, and most people can use it proficiently. ”

Ye Liangchen seemed to understand, and he nodded slowly to express his opinion: "This dynasty has made many strict regulations on the minting of copper coins, and the slightest violation is a major crime of killing the head, but it has never made any ban on silver. ”

"These two silver coins are beautifully worked. It is easy to carry, and what is even more rare is that it is also very convenient for trading and accounting, and if the measures are appropriate, it will not be too difficult to generalize. ”

"If you can use the machine you just said, the silver dollars made are as fine as these two and a half, and no one wants to mix them up, so that this unique business of exclusive manufacturing and exclusive distribution will be difficult to make money!"

Zhu Daolin grinned and sent a large pile of coated paper to Ye Liangchen: "This is the eleven silver ticket styles that I asked the plate makers of Tianshu Pavilion to design specially for Bofu Qianzhuang, and the last one is the stock ticket sample of Tiangong Trading Co., Ltd., please ask Master Ye to review it on your behalf, and you can write your views aside." ”

"However, there is no need to rush this matter, and it is not too late to do it when you have time...... In another hour, the sky will be bright, Master Ye should rest early, and I will go to the dock to inspect it, maybe the Franc machine will be there soon. ”

Ye Liangchen wanted to stand up and send it off, but was pressed on the chair by Zhu Daolin, so he had to watch Zhu Daolin leave with a smile, and then picked up a silver ticket design to look at it carefully, and soon let out a sound of exclamation, his eyes could no longer be separated from the exquisite and gorgeous patterns, where was there still a little sleep?

Zhu Daolin walked out of the gate of the compound, sped up and rushed to the dock, on the way to avoid the patrol guard team twice, unknowingly entered his own exclusive independent storage area, transferred all the porcelain, tea, and silk in the King Kong circle into the No. A warehouse, and put two kinds of popular scripts, three kinds of embroidered scripts, 600 boxes of clocks and watches, 50,000 pairs of raw rubber soles, and more than 1,800 boxes of various daily necessities into the No. B warehouse facing the gate, and 1,500 tons of various types of steel were piled up in the open space between the No. A warehouse and the courtyard wall. After checking that there were no omissions, I left the reservoir area with peace of mind and returned home along the trail at the foot of the mountain.

The next morning, the quiet Shangyuan Wharf was busy again.

The newly formed wharf handling team of 800 laborers gathered at the wharf to listen to the new head of Shangyuan Port, Yuxian, read out the rules and regulations, most of these people were recruited from the hired peasants of Ziyangguan, and at this moment I am afraid that they themselves do not know that their identity has changed from farmers to professional dock workers.

On the north side of the wharf, dozens of officers and soldiers of the Shangyuan Thousand Households Office of the Navy Division carried out more than a dozen square tables, which were neatly placed between the special wharf of the Navy Division and the civilian wharf, and a large banner for recruiting soldiers was erected high.

The recruitment announcement, stamped with the seal of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing, had been posted 10 days ago in every county and town outside the city and within a radius of 300 miles, and the recruitment announcement clearly read:

The new recruit of the Jiangnan Navy Division has a monthly salary of 1 tael of silver, a monthly salary of 2 taels of silver for the promotion of a regular soldier who has passed half a year of training, a monthly salary of 3 taels of silver for the promotion of a senior soldier for 1 year in the army, and a monthly salary of 5 taels of silver for the chief of the army, and a monthly salary of 8 taels of silver; All officers and soldiers eat three meals a day in full and in sufficient amounts, and a total of four sets of summer and winter military uniforms, shoes and hats are distributed free of charge every year, and those who have served in the army for two years can apply for retirement, and those who continue to serve will be promoted to one level, and have 30 days of paid family visit leave every year!
