In the steaming pool, a few representatives of the Nautical Guilds from Quanzhou and Fuzhou were a little uneasy when they soaked themselves in it. As their bodies began to adjust to the hot water, they all sighed in comfort.

Soaking, scrubbing, showering, and then a full body massage, the discomfort of the long journey disappears. Looking at the radiant faces of the representatives of the Fujian Navigation Guild, the staff of the Hangzhou Navigation Guild asked, "Everyone, let's go back and rest first." ”

"Don't you have to meet again today?" The representatives of the Fujian Navigation Guild were a little puzzled.

"Everyone has come from afar, so let's have a good rest for two days. There is time to meet. ”

The group had dinner, and the Fujian deputies were returning to their residences, lying on clean and tidy beds and talking.

"This Hangzhou is not at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it is not ordinary."

"I don't know when the official family will come to see us."

"I think we have to build this kind of bathhouse in Quanzhou, Brother Qian, what do you think. Hey, Brother Money"

"He's asleep."

"I can fall asleep so quickly."

"Well, I'm almost there, too."

It didn't take long for the gang to fall asleep.

When they woke up the next day, they found that they were not as unwell as they had been after the long journey, except for their exhaustion. It is the first time that everyone has come into contact with such a heroic hot bath.

Exhausted, the crowd continued to lean on the bed and talk. is the purpose of this trip, and I don't know when Zhao Guan's family will be able to meet them. is also speculating about what the Zhao official family is doing at this time

The people of the Navigation Guild did not guess correctly, and at this time, the Zhao Guanjia was holding the sample of the banknote and carefully checking it. Next to him was Qi Ye, the manager of the General Money Bank, and a group of officials and cadres of the Banknote Printing Bureau, seeing that Zhao Guanjia was quite satisfied with putting the banknotes back into the carton with the banknotes, Qi Ye immediately asked: "Guanjia, what do you think of this kind of fifty wen banknotes." ”

"I think it's okay."

"Isn't it just a bit low?"

"The face value is low, so it is easy for the people to use. Now that so many people are engaged in silk production, the currency in which they are paid is of course the best currency. ”

After listening to the opinion of the Zhao official family, Sun Qing, the head of the household department, interjected, "The people are still not used to it." ”

"That's why we want to set up supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside, and we also want to set up money banks in the countryside, so that people can deposit their money into the bank." Zhao Jiaren replied.

"Official, how much does this cost!" These officials and cadres in charge of finance and economics have expressed their opposition one after another.

Zhao Jiaren did not answer immediately. He took out a few new gold and silver coins from the box containing the currency samples. They tumbled and bounced on Zhao Jiaren's fingers. Suddenly disappears, and suddenly appears again. This is a very common trick and trick, and mastering a few tricks in the American social circle can be a great way to lighten the mood. And sometimes it can relieve your own unhappiness.

Flicked a gold coin into the air with his fingers, and when the gold coin fell, Zhao Jiaren grabbed the gold coin in his palm and held it tightly. He said: "The thing for this year and next year is to put the new version of the banknote on the market first. This time, the factory that produced silk tried to set up a supply and marketing cooperatives and money banks. Supply and marketing cooperatives try their best to collect and pay bills. The status quo will be maintained for the first time. ”

Seeing that the Zhao Guanjia already had a clear plan, these people could only keep silent for the time being. The Zhao official family will not waver in the things decided, and can only use the final result to convince the Zhao official family. And these people have followed the Zhao Guanjia for so many years, and they know that the Zhao Guanjia's judgment of the future will always be much more correct than them.

Under the arrangement of the Zhao official family, the news of the new version of the banknote to be issued was initially published in the newspaper. When the representatives of the Fujian Navigation Guild went to see Zhao Guan's house, they carried a newspaper with the news on the way and while waiting. However, in their opinion, what new version of the money is used has nothing to do with them. If the Fujian Road continues to decline like this, no style of money can save the fate of the decline of the Navigation Guild.

Seeing Zhao Guan's family, several people immediately told Zhao Jiaren about the recent problems in Quanzhou and Fuzhou, and finally asked Zhao Jiaren, the president of the Navigation Guild, to show everyone the way.

"I'll show you the way, but you probably won't listen, because what you want is to continue to live a better life in Fujian than before. Now the Great Song Dynasty has many great plains suitable for cultivation and habitation. That kind of big plain no one goes and no one lives. If you invest ten times on the Great Plains, you can get ten times of profit. If you can have three benefits from investing in Fujian for ten times, it will be amazing. If I show you a clear path, the best way is to immigrate to Henan, to Shandong. Over there, there is thirty acres of flat land. Or to Guangnan East Road, or Jiaozhi and other places. I don't think you'll want to. Since that refused, and Quanzhou no longer had the status it had before, the rest could only endure. ”

Listening to Zhao Jiaren's straightforwardness, these people all showed very helpless expressions. Although everyone knows that change is necessary to survive, it is to guide others to change. When it's your turn, you can change so easily.

Everyone looked at Zhao Jiaren with bitter faces, and finally couldn't help but plead: "Official, you have taken us to this day, can you bear to watch us decline step by step?" ”

Zhao Jiaren relented, but soon remembered such a case in Hong Kong. It turns out that once there is a big problem with the positioning of a city, there is bound to be a big problem. For example, the rise of Hong Kong was a fortuitous opportunity, at that time many exports had to be re-exported from Hong Kong, and this almost coercive measure allowed Hong Kong to develop greatly. Just like the former Great Song Dynasty Trade Port, which was mainly Quanzhou, a large number of large food and maritime merchants gathered in Quanzhou, and there were internal interest groups and foreign interest groups. Now after seizing the South China Sea shipping route, the Great Song Dynasty is full of good ports, and the special existence of Quanzhou in this special era certainly has no chance.

Let Zhao Jiaren give Quanzhou a unique policy, Zhao Jiaren can't do it anyway. So he hardened his heart and was ready to refuse.

Looking at Zhao Jiaren's expression, these guys who were relatively familiar with Zhao Jiaren were frightened. Zhao Jiaren is a resolute person, he has made a decision, and it is impossible to take back his fate. These people followed Zhao Jiaren, who had the courage to move forward, and changed countless times, so that they had everything they have today. If Zhao Jiaren is allowed to say the words that ended all this, it will be irreparable.

The president of the Quanzhou branch immediately rushed to Zhao Jiaren's words and said loudly: "Official, I'm ...... I read in the newspaper that the silk output had increased tenfold, and since it was said by the officials, we would like to ask the officials to increase the silk production of Quanzhou and Fuzhou tenfold. ”

"You...... Do you really have that determination? Zhao Jiaren thinks that this is also a solution, although he himself is not optimistic, but at least the industrialized Quanzhou and Fuzhou, it sounds like a good thing.

"As long as the official is willing to give us, what do we have to fear. For so many years, we have never suffered a loss with the official family. The branch president of Fuzhou also immediately followed. At this time, he also understood that if the official family issued an order to vigorously emigrate from Fujian, the prosperity of Quanzhou and Fuzhou would become a dream. Even if you delay time, you have to maintain the current situation first.

Zhao Jiaren asked them to contact the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry would give them a complete set of plans. Zhao Jiaren still felt uneasy, so he called back Jia Weixin, an advanced cadre at this stage, and asked Jia Weixin to give a lesson to these people, and organized them to visit Fuyang County on the spot.

After the matter was dealt with, the General Intelligence Directorate sent a detailed message that had been collated. On the Mongolian side, the Zhongtong ingots began to depreciate significantly. In order to continue to plunder materials from the people, the imperial court of the capital invested a large amount of money in the market for procurement, resulting in soaring prices.

The report was very short, but Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but look at it again and again. Hyperinflation is not uncommon in Zhao Jiaren's economic knowledge, and the currency of Chiang's bald head has skyrocketed in domestic history. Internationally, there are more cases of this, and in the 21st century, there is the hyperinflation of the Zimbabwean currency.

Jia Nidao of the Great Song Dynasty carried out public land reform more than ten years ago, and issued a large number of banknotes in order to acquire land, resulting in great inflation. The extreme case is that you can only buy a pair of straw sandals when you always pay money. At that time, Zhao Jiaren secretly exchanged copper coins for a large amount of banknotes at a very low price.

At this time, Zhao Jiaren really wanted to take a good look at the tragic situation in Mongolia. However, the intelligence bureau could only grasp this level of information, because the Great Song Dynasty had sent naval troops to completely blockade the Bohai Sea and completely cut off trade with Mongolia. To be able to provide information about this wave of great devaluation has been done with all the best efforts of the intelligence services. At this time, the intelligence department of the Great Song Dynasty had already switched to war mode with all its might, and all channels were providing intelligence to the Hebei Righteous Army. They had no spare energy, let alone the mood to gather information on the currency of the Mongols.

Jia Weixin, who received the order of Zhao Guan's family, hurriedly received this group of Fujian personnel. He arranged a very tight itinerary, from lectures to visits, with little respite in between. The representatives of the Nautical Guild were stunned after completing the eight-day trip. In the past, these people in Fujian felt that the days in other places were too lazy and comfortable, and they thought that Fujian people were busy every day, and the diligence shown by the people of Fuyang County made these guys feel ashamed from the bottom of their hearts.

Jia Weixin is very glad that it has not yet entered the rainy season when he receives this group, and once he enters the rainy season, the roads will be very bad, and the lectures will be very bad. I'm afraid that I will delay the order of the Zhao official family. At this time, he was extremely satisfied with his situation, and a bright future depended on effective work. The rainy season will undoubtedly reduce efficiency and is more likely to make Zhao's family unhappy.

The people of the Navigation Guild didn't know what Jia Weixin was thinking, so they followed Jia Weixin's suggestion to the machinery factory in Zaozhuang, where the machinery factory produced a large number of steam engine parts. The fundamental reason why the government was able to increase production this time was that the steam engine was put into production.

Not long after the gang left, the rainy season in Jiangnan arrived.
