Early the next morning, the announcement of the Taiyuan Administration signed by He Qigong, the new head of the Taiyuan Administration, was pasted all over the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City, and the counties within the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Administration also received the original text of the announcement at the first time, and forwarded it to the villages and towns in the county as soon as possible.

The content of the announcement of the Taihang Administration is: First, from now on, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to exchange Jin banknotes at a low price without permission, and once the violators are discovered, the Taiyuan Administration will strictly investigate and deal with the crime of disrupting the economy, confiscate the illegal gains and detain them, and will not tolerate them; Second, all merchants in the Taiyuan Administration shall not refuse to accept Jin banknotes, otherwise they will close down their shops and confiscate their property; Third, in any business activities, the Jin banknote is equivalent to the ocean; 4. The former Taiyuan Provincial Bank was renamed Taiyuan Commercial Bank, and its business scope includes deposits, loans, foreign exchange, trading of raw gold and silver, discounting and collection of unexpired bills and bills of exchange, collecting various bills on behalf of banks, companies, firms and individuals who have always traded transactions, keeping valuables on behalf of others, concurrently engaging in savings business, and acting as an agent for the provincial treasury; Fifth, the issuance of banknotes will be temporarily handed over to the Northern Investment and Development Bank as an agent, and the right to issue banknotes will be withdrawn after the provincial bank has sufficient reserves; Sixth, from now on, the Northern Investment and Development Bank will exchange Jin banknotes at a 1:1 ratio, and there will be no limit on the amount of individual exchange, and there will be no delay in redeeming it at any time; Seventh, the Northern Investment and Development Bank has abundant funds, not only a large number of silver dollars, but also a huge amount of gold reserves, please rest assured that the public can exchange them.

At the same time, Jia Jiying also issued an announcement on behalf of the Northern Investment and Development Bank, saying that the Northern Investment and Development Bank is a Sino-foreign joint venture bank with strong strength and abundant funds, and in order to properly deal with the exchange of Jin banknotes, it is said that the foreign side will also increase its capital on a large scale, and the bank's capital will reach 160 million.

Jia Jiying also assured that depositors are welcome to deposit money at the Northern Investment and Development Bank, and as long as the depositors are willing, they can withdraw any currency according to their own wishes, regardless of whether the money originally deposited in the Northern Investment and Development Bank is Jin banknotes or Dayang.

And the most important one, that is, Jia Jiying announced that the deposit interest rate of the Northern Investment and Development Bank will be raised by one percentage point from now on, that is, the interest rate of the Northern Investment and Development Bank will be the highest in Shanxi Province.

In addition, Jia Jiying also invited all the members of the Jinchao Aftermath Committee to visit the treasury of the Northern Investment and Development Bank to witness the strength of the Northern Investment and Development Bank and what he Jia Jiying said.

When the vast majority of these deputies came out of the Northern Investment and Development Bank with their mouths wide open and unbelievably excited on their faces, the news that the treasury of the Northern Investment and Development Bank contained tens of millions of yuan in cash and gold, jewelry, and jade items valued at tens of millions of oceans, as well as the authentic calligraphy and paintings of celebrities of the past dynasties that were not accurately valued but were certainly valuable, spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of Taiyuan like a gust of wind.

It's just that these people don't know that Song Zhewu has put a lot of effort into making up the money.

It turned out that although Song Zhewen's "Tianjin Branch of North American Brothers Joint Stock Bank" opened in the Tianjin Concession had 500 million oceans at the beginning, when the Northern Investment and Development Bank opened in Taiyuan, it proposed 80 million yuan as the principal, and after the Spring Festival, all its funds were basically taken away by Li Rujuan.

Because Li Rujuan has to go to Europe to purchase equipment, technology and find business partners, as well as recruit all kinds of talents according to Song Zhewu's requirements, this cost will definitely not be less, and Song Zhewu will not save in this regard. Coupled with Song Zhewu's military spending on the Fourth Route Army during this time, a lot was spent, and the actual self-owned funds of the "Tianjin Branch of North American Brothers Joint Stock Bank" were only less than 10 million.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Song Zhewu transferred almost all the funds of the Tianjin branch, which is almost an empty shelf now. However, in this way, the actual funds are still "insufficient", and there is still a lot of difference from the full reserve of Jin Bank.

According to his and Jia Jiying's plan, when all banks and banks had stopped exchanging Jin banknotes, the Northern Investment and Development Bank insisted on exchanging 300,000 oceans for each bank for high-sounding reasons, and had already collected a large amount of Jin banknotes with very little capital and at a low price.

However, the outside world does not know about the fact that there are very few Jin banknotes in actual circulation, and this matter must not be said, otherwise he Song Zhewu will be saddled with a black pot that makes it difficult to make a fortune.

Helplessly, Song Zhewu took Xinghua's liquidity and Xiao Guodong's military expenses to make up the amount.

In addition, Song Zhewu has been accumulating gold over the years, and the "Tianjin Branch of North American Brothers Joint Stock Bank" has bought a lot in the past two years, and these gold are hard currency in wartime, although he will not use this gold to exchange it for the ocean to deal with the exchange of Jin banknotes, but it is absolutely possible to fill the façade.

In addition, when Zengjiazhai got a large number of jewelry boxes and paintings of Sun Dianying's tomb, which are not of historical significance, or extremely precious jewelry and jade, they have already been sold by Song Zhewu in order to supplement military spending, and the remaining almost all of them are priceless treasures, if they are put in a few decades later, the auction of three or two pieces, maybe it will be enough to deal with the exchange of Jin banknotes, even now, these jewels and jade are worth tens of millions, although the remaining treasures Song Zhewu will not sell them anymore, but can be used as bank assets, It can also definitely prove the financial strength of the Northern Investment and Development Bank.

In addition, Xinghua Company also issued an announcement early in the morning, saying: From now on, all those who purchase the company's industrial products will have priority in supplying those who use Jin banknotes.

Another point that must be mentioned is that all the police of the Police Department of the Taiyuan Administration and the gendarmerie of the Fourth Route Army were all dispatched to supervise the use of Jin banknotes in the market and various merchants.

The newspapers in the area controlled by the Taiyuan Administration, headed by the Shanxi Daily News and the Bingzhou Daily News, also published the announcements of the Taiyuan Administration, the Northern Investment and Development Bank, and the Xinghua as soon as possible.

Although it is known that Song Zhewu has begun to restore the value of the Jin banknotes, even the Taiyuan Administration and the Northern Investment and Development Bank have issued a series of measures to freely convert and stabilize the Jin banknotes, including a series of news such as the fact that the Northern Investment and Development Bank has a large amount of hard currency, which is enough to ensure their exchange. However, the vast majority of the people and many merchants who were forced to collect Jin banknotes were still not at ease, and they still rushed to the Northern Investment and Development Bank in droves to exchange for the ocean.

From the moment they arrived in front of the Northern Investment and Development Bank, the magnesium lights in their hands did not stop flickering in the face of the surging tide of exchange people and the piles of oceans of the Northern Investment and Development Bank.

In order to speed up the exchange and to reassure the people, Jia Jiying asked the bank staff to set up more than a dozen tables in the small square in front of the bank, and under the escort of hundreds of special combat personnel sent by Ye Changgui, they exchanged money in the open air, and only more than 500,000 people could go to the hall on the first floor of the bank to exchange money. Piles of seals were piled up behind them.

As early as before the bank opened at 9 o'clock, there were a large number of people waiting for the exchange in front of the bank lined up in a long line of more than a dozen lines, and the onlookers were several times more than the exchange people, when they saw the ocean that was piled up like a hill, their hearts were finally a little more stable, but people still couldn't help but insist on the exchange, or listen to the sound of the ocean and feel at ease, these people did not get the ocean until the heart, a heart was finally put down, and they all left happily.

In the flow of people waiting for the exchange, there are many people with foreign accents, these people are big businessmen in Hebei, Henan and Lunan area, and the amount of Jin banknotes in their hands is generally large, because during the Central Plains War, the Jin Sui army purchased a large number of military supplies from them.

Some time ago, because of the war, they could not come to Taiyuan to exchange, even if it was a low price in their local area, they had already known the news that Song Zhewu was going to restore the value of the Jin banknotes, so they came to Taiyuan early, waiting for the arrival of this day. There are even some shrewd businessmen who have collected some Jin banknotes scattered among the people at low prices in the local area.

There are many local merchants in the crowd, most of the Jin banknotes in the hands of these merchants have already been redeemed at low prices, and the amount of Jin banknotes in their hands is not very large, which they have just been forced to collect in the business.

It is absolutely impossible not to collect money without collecting money, and there are police officers with batons in every store, staring at them, and even police cars from model prisons parked on the main street outside. But keeping the Jin banknotes in their hands made them unashamed, so they had to grit their teeth to collect the Jin banknotes, and on the other hand, they took the trouble to send the men to exchange the Jin banknotes they had just received and immediately took them to the Northern Investment and Development Bank for exchange.

The peasants who went into the city to sell agricultural and sideline products almost all hurried to exchange them for the ocean after selling their goods, and they also had the same thoughts as these merchants, but the number of Jin banknotes in their hands was smaller, basically a few or a dozen yuan.

No matter what the identity of the person who came to exchange money and how many Jin banknotes came to exchange, the attitude of the staff of the Northern Investment and Development Bank was surprisingly good, they all greeted each other with a warm smile, and the service was absolutely thoughtful, and that attitude was comparable to the five-star hotel of later generations in Song Zhewu's view.

This is not that Song Zhewu instilled the business philosophy of later generations in Jia Jiying, this is a common practice of merchants in this period, especially Jia Jiying was born in the silver number running street, and the service attitude of the staff will directly affect the image and business of the bank.

The long queue of people waiting for the exchange in front of the Northern Investment and Development Bank did not gradually shorten until the fourth day of the exchange period, but the number of onlookers was more every time......
