Chapter 77 The Central Bank of Nanjing
Chapter 77 The Central Bank of Nanjing
For the Nanjing court, the financial crisis was already imminent.
This is also the difference between Beijing and Nanjing.
Beijing's financial system is already somewhere between ancient and modern. In order to engage in some kind of means such as national debt.
Tolerance for deficits is high. But Nanjing is different. There is no money in the treasury of Nanjing, that is, there is really no money, and it is not even possible to issue banknotes, because the correct set of banknotes is in Beijing. This set of techniques is not supernatural. But there are also appreciables. Otherwise, banknotes can easily be imitated.
The technical heritage of Nanjing's side is difficult to replicate completely. But it is not difficult to make a similar set.
After all, because of newspaper printing, Nanjing has also made some progress in printing technology. However, it is normal to be inferior to Beijing.
Nanjing still has a surplus, but it won't last long. In particular, Shaanxi's additional dispatch has made a lot of money, which has been spent like flowing water.
Once the treasury runs out of money, the following will be in arrears.
Even though Zhu Yunwen doesn't know how to fight, he also knows that the emperor is not a hungry soldier.
This question is simply imminent.
You can't wait for a moment to change money and issue new money.
Ding Xian said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have transferred manpower from all over the country to form a central bank, which will be directly under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. And we have already taken over the bank's branches in various places, and at the end of this month, we will start issuing banknotes to exchange old ones."
Zhu Yunwen said, "That's good."
Ding Xian obviously does not know enough about the banking system.
He can only tap talent from the original banking system. After all, this is also a professional. However, the real professionals are all in Beijing. In order to issue banknotes, He Xi Beijing has specially become an economic statistical survey agency, which is responsible for conducting investigation and research on financial data and determining the amount of issuance.
Although, these institutions are still very young.
But He Xi feels that there must be great prospects in the future.
Now because of the development of industry, the demand for money is particularly large, so He Xi almost prints money, and it is unlikely that there will be economic problems. But you can't just keep riding a blind horse like this, galloping all the way.
And He Xi said that he was also very incomprehensible to economics. When he was in school, he didn't understand it, and he just thought that these economists didn't seem to be scientists. In any case, only an institution can be established to train economists. In the future, we will speak again in the future, and we must believe in the wisdom of future generations.
But He Xi has a concept of the economy in his heart. There are still concepts such as the total amount of money issued, the aggregate of the economy, and the gross domestic product. But Ding Xian apparently has no such thoughts, he is simply a clumsy imitation of Beijing.
I don't know how big a killer trick lurks behind this incident.
And for the Wei Mansion, the Cao Mansion and other nobles, the opportunity to make a fortune has come.
A financial battlefield is about to be launched.
However, this war will take time. After all, the bank also gives a certain time limit for changing money. It is impossible to set off a climax at the beginning of this war. But another war has already begun.
Nothing else. It's the Battle of Denglai.
------
The will of Zhu Xiongying and He Xi is the will of the Beijing Imperial Court.
What the two agreed on, naturally did not dare to hinder it.
And it is also very easy to launch an attack on Denglai. The reason is simple, this is more about using sailors than about the army.
Not to mention that the Liaodong Navy Division was originally a strong force. To put it simply, the superiority of the Northern Army's naval divisions at sea was not actually brought into play. At least, even Fu Youde in Nanjing didn't care much about this matter.
It's not that Fu Youde doesn't know the water master.
Fu Youde actually recognized the transportation capacity and logistics ability of the sailor. But he didn't really care too much about the sailors going ashore to fight. Because he knew very well that the sailors needed a port to dock. In general, there is a lack of good ports in the north. The Shandong Peninsula is fine. Jiangsu coastline
Needless to say, it is false to say that the ship cannot be stopped. However, it is true that large ships cannot be stopped, and it is completely different from the situation of many islands off the southeast coast.
And there are guards on the coast of Shandong, and wherever the army lands, there are cities. It is not easy for a small group to penetrate, and it is not a simple matter for a large army to land.
After all, it took much to land in Normandy in the later generations.
Therefore, Fu Youde foresaw all kinds of difficulties that the Northern Army would encounter when it landed in Shandong. Because of this, he didn't think there would be anything wrong with Denglai. In other words, even if the Northern Army landed in Shandong. The Shandong defenders may not be able to attack. But it's still okay to defend the city. Delay until he withdraws. Nothing will happen.
It's just that the war has changed, not only in the army, but also in the sailors. It can even be said that there is even more change among the sailors. It's just that the Ming Dynasty is a continental country, and the change of the sailor is not enough to win or lose the decisive battlefield and change the regime. It doesn't seem that important.
Tang Yan looked at his boat, even if he looked at it a few times, he still felt very satisfied, more satisfying than his wife.
Tang Yan was not originally called Tang Yan, he was called Tang Da. It was a hungry man in Shandong, who fled to Liaodong, first worked in the salt field, and then because there were more people in the salt field, he was assigned to a fish boat, and finally because of his good performance, he entered the Lushun Navigation College, which was originally a teaching. What is taught is boating. It's just that he later taught himself a lot of subjects, and nearly ten years later, he has become the captain of the gunboat of the Liaodong Navy Division. Equivalent to the army's thousand households.
It has been changed successively, twice in the name, and the first name is salt. Later, I thought the name was not good, so I called it Yan.
This made a man from a hungry background, dreaming back at midnight, still a little dazed.
His sister is also married to his classmates.
is also from the bottom. But students of the Academy of Arthur Navigation.
It's not just the two of them, it's the situation with the entire Arthur Nautical Academy.
That is, among the sailors, a faction that seems to have little power, but is growing and growing, the academic faction.
This is also very simple, the three major colleges that have just been established in Liaodong, Yingkou College is the best developed. Most of them are officials in Beijing. Many of the polytechnics worked as technocrats in the Zunhua Iron Works in Liaodong, or in the imperial court, and a considerable number of them were in the army.
And the nautical academy is the most embarrassing.
Although it is said that the sea is open, the sea is very important to Daming. But most ordinary people don't look down on seafarers, and even if they do, they don't know how to operate their own boats, which is not a very good business. Even to put it mildly, even in later generations, seafarers are not a very good business.
Therefore, the employment of students from the Navigation College is the worst among the three colleges. Also among the shipyards, and the sailors. Or a merchant as a merchant captain. But this is very reluctant for these students who have come out of the book.
Although he also gives money, can it be the same for officials in the court and businessmen to do things?
Therefore, everyone desperately squeezed into the Liaodong Naval Division.
But don't forget. The water master is surnamed Fang.
This is not that Fang Chengfeng regards all the water masters as a hall of words. Don't let anyone say a word. It's just that according to the sphere of influence in the army, the children of the Fang family have priority among the sailors.
It's not that He Xi doesn't support these students. This one thing can't reach anywhere at all. Naturally, there are many people who support these students, otherwise, how could these students have climbed to the backbone of the sailors for more than ten years, that is, the captain.
The point is, can these students do it?
Sailing is very experienced.
Moreover, the teaching materials of the Navigation College were very thin at the beginning. It can even be said that there is no, it is after so many years of teaching feedback from students, and even the seniors have explored and practiced on their own on the ship, that the teaching materials have been accumulated little by little.
It's easy to get them up. But it's hard to say whether the people who are promoted can win the battle.
If you can't win the battle, it's not to help them, it's to hurt them.
Even if Fang Chengfeng was He Xi's person, he didn't dare to embarrass these He Xi's descendants. Even many of the descendants of the Fang family are in the Navigation Academy.
The contradiction between the two sides is not so big, after all, the sailor has been expanding.
And today's battle is based on whether these students can take charge of themselves in the past few years.
Tang Yan is just one of them.
