Lin Yuan left a way back for himself when he said these words, he said "a few days", but did not say the specific "three days" and "five days", because he knew that this matter did not know when the road would be over, so he did not specifically say that it would be a few days later, but at this time someone stood up and asked: "Lin Shuai, I believe that you will not owe us money, but we also want to know how many days it will take?" As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed them.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I have to plan for the worst, Yuan Er will definitely not let me take out the silver from the Dade Pass number easily, so I will have to transport the silver from Shanghai, in that case, it will take about three days, let alone three days, plus two more days, it is more certain." So Lin Yuan said: "I promise you that in five days, the silver will definitely be transported." ”

Everyone left happily, Lin Yuan immediately went to the yamen of the Fuzhou prefect, came to the door and said directly: "Hurry up and let the Fuzhou prefect come out to greet me, I have something important to find him!" ”

The people at the door didn't dare to slack off, so they went in to report, and the prefect came out of it and invited Lin Yuan into the house, Lin Yuan asked: "I heard that you seized the silver treasury of Dadetong and caught the shopkeeper, but is there such a thing?" ”

The prefect of Fuzhou smiled when he heard this, and said: "That Dadetong is just a small business, why do you care so much?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I want to use the silver in it urgently, do you think I can not worry?" ”

The prefect of Fuzhou whispered: "My lord, don't blame me for this matter, because the person who grabbed the big shopkeeper is not me at all!" ”

Lin Yuan said angrily: "You still dare to quibble, your people seized Dadetong and arrested the shopkeeper, this matter is well known, you actually said that you didn't arrest people!" ”

When the prefect of Fuzhou saw Lin Yuan angry, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the person is really not caught by me, it is the personal hand of Xu Yingqi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Why did you implicate the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang again?" The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is in charge of the military and political power of Fujian and Zhejiang, and he is at the same level as me, could it be that Yuan Er even moved in with him? Lin Yuan thought about it for a while: "If I go to negotiate with Xu Yingqi, this matter will be more complicated, it is better for me not to care about this matter, but wait for the silver to be transported from Shanghai, Fuzhou Port is also a large port, there are also many foreigners doing business here, Xu Yingqi is no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to intercept all the silver transported in from the port." ”

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan came out of the prefect's yamen, contacted Shanghai, and learned that the silver had been allocated properly and was being transported to Fuzhou, so Lin Yuan returned to the post house to wait, and while waiting, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Now we are still relying on commercial ticket numbers to carry out financial activities, why don't we start our own bank?" ”

"There are so many benefits of a bank, it can absorb deposits that people can't use for the time being, and then lend them to those who need money, so that the money will work in the society, it will create more jobs, and the economy can also be greatly developed."

"Not only that, we can also issue our own currency, originally wanted to accumulate more gold and silver, and then use these gold and silver as reserves, now it seems completely unnecessary, I can directly issue paper money that does not rely on any physical goods, modern society is like this in all countries, the gold standard, the silver standard those paper money and physical money linked to the monetary system has long been abandoned."

"Paper money is a kind of credit currency in the final analysis, the people believe that the paper can be exchanged for physical objects, it can be used as money, now I have a very high status in the minds of the people, this scammer pretending to be me is a proof, so I can choose the right time to issue paper money, as long as the people have enough trust in me, my paper money will be accepted by the people!"

"Not only that, but the banknotes I issue will also enter the international market, and in the future, they will also serve as international currency, and all countries will use the banknotes I issue to settle when they trade, just like the dollar in my time!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stood up excitedly and thought, "Then when is the right time?" This should be considered from the international and domestic situation, in this era all countries still maintain the gold standard or gold bar standard monetary system, I directly issue paper money that does not rely on any physical goods, only relies on credit, and it must have a big impact on the economy of various countries, so I should wait until the strength develops somewhat, at least the navy must have an ocean-going fleet! ”

"As for the domestic aspect, the rulers of the Qing court did not realize the importance of banking and currency issuance power at this time, and the first national bank of the Qing court would not appear until 1905, so that they could use their ignorance to secretly control the economic and financial lifeline of the entire country, and lay the foundation for the skillful seizure of Qing rule!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "But if you want to open a bank, there will be many opponents, the largest and strongest of them are foreign banks in China, these banks have more than twenty banks, branches in major cities in China, they even issue paper money, use these paper money to squeeze the blood and sweat of the Chinese, according to historical statistics, they have issued billions of dollars in China, and it is self-evident how much blood and sweat of the Chinese people have been squeezed!" ”

"If you open your own bank and issue currency, you must completely defeat them, and in that case you will also save our people!"

In the five days when the silver arrived, Lin Yuan was thinking about the establishment of the bank, and on the fifth day, the silver was transported, accompanied by the silver for the relocation operation, and the relocation of the personnel lasted for about ten days, and it was not until November 24 that the transfer work was completed.

By the time Lin Yuan returned to Port Arthur, which was not frozen all year round, it was already November 27, and the first thing Lin Yuan did when he came back was to see the construction of battleships.

Another advantage of the floating dock is that it can accompany the warship to sea and be used as a base for ship construction. The main part of the floating dock is located below the waterline, so that the valve can be opened after the battleship is built, and the outside water can be put in.

In the battleship factory in Lushun, the group technique was used, so the construction speed of the battleship was very fast, Lin Yuan left Lushun for less than a month, the main skeleton had been built, and the main engine and weapons and equipment for outfitting had been manufactured, but the radar and missiles were still under development.

Han Mingguang said to Lin Yuan: "Should we give our warship a name, according to Western practice, the name of the first warship is the name of this class of warship, such as Ali?" The Burke-class missile destroyer is named after the first destroyer, 'Ali? Burke's name, so we should have a louder name. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "In our time, we learn a lot from the West, that's because they are more advanced than us, just take the name of the battleship, why is the name of the first battleship the name of this class of battleship?" We're giving our ships a separate class name. ”

Han Mingguang smiled: "It's okay, then what do you say we will give our warship a name?" ”
