Regarding the fact that someone will make a move, Li Dan has received a report.

Zhen Jie in the capital said that Zheng Shou has been in contact with the outside world very frequently recently, and the news from the inside line said that he had two very unusual guests, one with a guest from Sichuan and Shu, and the other time the other party must be from Shaanxi and Gansu.

Chen Chun reported that the staff of the department saw that the backbone of the Zodiac Sect was flowing to Jingshi, Yucheng, Bozhou, and Yingchuan, which surprised Li Dan.

The capital and its surroundings are all areas where the Yulin Army and the Imperial Front Army are concentrated, aren't they moths fighting the fire in doing so?

On the Shaanxi side, Gao Fei secretly reported that the number of monks in the Huangjiao monastery in Xi'an Prefecture had increased significantly, and at the same time, monks with Tibetan accents were found frequently entering and leaving the city gates.

Li Dan asked Xiao Gui to find the head of the Gangtou Gang and asked him to send more than 30 brothers to assist the staff in the investigation.

Under the guidance of Xiao Gui, the Gongtou Gang established the "Qianniu Rickshaw Transport Trading Company", which has received 300 new cars, and imitated the rickshaw dealer in Shangjing and began to let the brothers run and buy and sell business, so when they heard that there was a request, they all readily agreed.

Xiao Gui also collected several information through the rickshaw driver of the Qianniu Trading Company.

Among them, what caught Li Dan's attention was that there were a few ghostly guys coming in and out of the salt merchant Yan Xin's house, and these people were not businessmen at all, and they were by no means official.

He immediately instructed Li Tiedao to monitor him, and at the same time sent a message to Wei Xiong, who was working in the Metropolitan Inspection Department, asking him to try to investigate Yan Xin himself.

Dou Jiong's discovery is the most valuable, he has a subordinate nicknamed Ironhead Mouse, and he is a good guy. This man followed a follower of the Zodiac Sect and found more than 600 people, including the Grand Master of Puzhou City.

King Zhou Tianwang quietly arranged and assured Li Dan that as long as the city gate was closed, he could pull out all the power of the Zodiac Sect in Puzhou City in a few hours!

Shaanxi Bank finally set a time for opening, and it was at this time that Li Dan decided to start a newspaper. "We must keep the mouthpiece of propaganda firmly on our side!" He said.

As early as ten days ago, Chen Sanwen rushed to Shaanxi with 20 students from the Mechanical College, and Li Dan asked him to start designing the printing lead, paper and ink of the newspaper.

The size is roughly the same as the double-open paper in the previous life, and the paper type is made of bamboo and mulberry bark, which is produced in Hanzhong and is slightly yellow.

The first issue of the newspaper was published a few days before the opening of the bank, and the first issue caused a sensation throughout the city, and 5,000 copies were quickly sold out.

Two dollars a newspaper, being able to see the voice of the government and interesting people or things, this price is still worth it.

In the past, there was no way for the people to know about the dynamics of the government, but now the "Shaanxi and Gansu News", as an official newspaper, selectively publishes the news in the newspaper, providing a channel for everyone to understand a series of imperial court reforms and new policies while guiding and publicizing them.

In addition, there are poems and prose by literati and ink writers, market demand and price, project construction progress, recruitment notices, etc., which adapt to the attention of different classes to the greatest extent.

The merchants saw another charm of the newspaper in the advertisements of Raozhou Trading Company, Dongilsheng Trading Company, and Qianniu Rickshaw Company published on the middle seam and the last page, so they were caught off guard by the flow of people who had thought that they were sitting on the cold bench.

In various teahouses, it became fashionable for Dr. Tea to read the newspaper and explain the contents, which often attracted a large number of listeners, and even the windows were filled with the faces of the listeners.

Of course, the biggest task of the newspaper is propaganda!

The first four articles on the first edition first talked about the chaos of banknotes, and secondly, they told everyone that the new banknotes were about to be issued, how they differed from the old banknotes, and the use of auxiliary coins, and also included words of appreciation for the new banknotes, which were said to be His Majesty's appreciation.

The third article introduces banking and what it means to save money, and this novel model of money making money makes everyone feel incredible.

Finally, in an exclusive interview with Li Daren, who participated in politics on the right, Li Dan told reporters that the government will not only accept new banknotes for transactions, taxes, fines, and so on, but will also use them to pay the salaries of workers in government-run enterprises, state-owned mines, and manors, and for the payment of salaries for the entire Shaanxi official army, regimental training, inspection, and guard soldiers, and even for transactions with the Ergu tribes, the Tibetan tribes, and the Qinghai Qiang.

"The government will not reject the old banknotes, but we will give priority to promoting the new banknotes."

Li Dan's words clarified the status of the new banknote.

The "Interim Regulations on the Administration of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Banknotes" appeared in the newspaper the day before the bank opened, and the newspaper sold 9,000 copies on that day.

Among them, 3,000 were sold to the surrounding counties of Lintong, Weinan, Zhouzhi, Lantian, Qianxian, Jingyang, and Xianyang, and a personnel appointment was announced:

Zhu Qiyue, the former commander of Weinan County, was diligent and promising, and was appointed as the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce by the decision of the Political Secretary, and was promoted to Liupin.

"Lord Zhu, you have a very heavy task!" Li Dan met Zhu Qiyue in Xingyuan.

"Thank you, Lord for your support!" Zhu Qiyue smiled innocently, her eyes squeezed into slits.

"Eh, Brother Rong Sheng doesn't have to thank me." Li Dan waved his hand: "There are three major events in Shaanxi today: economic problems related to banknotes, Zodiac rebellion, and a large number of hidden households.

The first of these three things has to do with you. This is the organizational structure of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau that I helped you sort out, which has a corresponding relationship with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce established by the new imperial court. You need to get the people in place as soon as possible and start working!"

"My lord, this industrial and commercial bureau is understood to be two parts: industry, mining and commerce, what do you want us to focus on at the moment?"

"Business licensing, technology patents, creative copyrights, regulatory supervision, and foreign trade are all within your scope of responsibility. For example, at present, new trading companies have sprung up, but we cannot allow businessmen to behave, we must give business licenses to trading companies from the government, and punish or even withdraw their management rights for illegal operations and operations beyond the scope.

Therefore, the industrial and commercial bureau is to supervise, manage, and enforce the law on these mines and trading companies, and the era of those who want to do business and talk about money has passed, and the market must be stable and orderly, and this is not spontaneous by the people, but out of the official combing and rectification ......."

Li Dan introduced to him the purpose and role of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and then told him: "In addition to improving the organization as soon as possible, one of your important tasks is to build a material reserve warehouse.

This reserve warehouse can be used for relief in disaster years, and is usually used to adjust or stabilize prices.

The location I chose was in the southeast of Lidian, which was called Sheep Village, and there was a low slope that could be used. There are waterlogging rivers and Feng rivers around for water transportation, which is more convenient.

I have already sent people to complete the planning of the reserve warehouse, and 470 warehouses have also been set up to store all kinds of materials such as rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, cloth, and charcoal.

The manpower for the construction of the warehouse was borrowed from Liaoyang, and you should send competent people to take over and familiarize yourself with the operation of the warehouse as soon as possible."

While nodding in response, Zhu Qiyue was secretly surprised. More than 400 warehouses are enough to store how many supplies!

As the commander of Weinan County, he knew that there was an endless stream of carriages from Kanto to Shaanxi from Tongguan to Shaanxi for a month, and at first he only thought it was a transferred material, and he didn't pay attention to it in order to enrich the Xi'an market.

Now he understands that these materials were not put on the market, but all went into this storage warehouse!

It seems that this young adult is guarding against the merchants making trouble while erecting the figurines, so he let himself be in charge of the industrial and commercial bureau and transferred materials to ensure supplies. "Humble and determined to do your best for the decision of the adults!" He arched his hand.

Soon, a new content appeared in the newspaper: according to the "Law on the Administration of Trading Companies" promulgated by the imperial court, all trading companies operating in Shaanxi must register with the county where they are located, apply for a business license from the industrial and commercial bureau, and pay the start-up fee and deed tax.

This notice indicates that those who have not applied for a business license and who have exceeded the scope of business after applying for it are not within the scope of legal protection.

The businessmen were taken aback and came to Li Dan to "ask for an explanation", Li Dan said that you should go to the "Trading Company Management Law" yourself, and the imperial court has long had regulations, but Shaanxi has not strictly implemented them.

Nowadays, there are more and more trading companies, and the market is not regulated to protect everyone's interests, so I ask for your cooperation with the government.

Only then did the merchants understand that gradually people were registering, and the number was increasing day by day.

Of course, everyone doesn't want their hard-earned results to be recognized and protected by the law, but some people have doubts and feel that it is easy for the government to know about their business by registering.

More than half are still waiting, hesitating whether to apply or not.

The Dongcheng branch of Shaanxi Royal Second Bank in Xi'an opened in the sound of firecrackers, Jiang Cunli

and other dignitaries attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The strange thing is that there were no customers for the next two days, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the bank was doing.

On the third day, a plainly dressed scholar in Tsing Yi walked in, and the second counter in the lobby who was bored hurriedly stepped forward: "Hello guest officer, how can I help you?"

"Uh......," the scholar asked, swallowing his saliva, "I've been told that this old bill can be exchanged for a new one at our site, really?" As he spoke, he embarrassedly took out a tattered piece of paper from his sleeve:

"My father left three before he died, I, I took one and wanted to ask, if you can change it, I will take those two more."

The second cabinet looked at the paper that seemed to be old enough, and said, "Can you invite the son to come to the case, let's open it and take a closer look?"

The scholar then followed him to the bookcase, and opened it to see that it was a consistent banknote issued in the last years of the previous dynasty, the edges were frayed, and there were already places to tear, obviously passing through the hands of many people, and there were traces of flooding.

After reading it, the second cabinet nodded: "This is a real banknote, it can be exchanged!"

"Really?" The scholar was taken aback.

"Ask Childe to fill out a form, indicate your name, address, type and amount of money to be exchanged, and then hand it to the counter along with the original banknote, and the guy inside will change the money for you."

After a while, the scholar came out with a piece of paper in both hands, and muttered, "Give it to me, they really changed it!"

"What did you change?" Someone crowded over and watched.

"Eh, you're losing, why did you change it to such a small one?" It was said.

"That's right!" The scholar thought that it was not, and he turned around and came back. After a while, he came out again, this time with four tickets and a handful of coins in his hand.

"Yo, why are there so many Xiucai this time? Is that something valuable?" Everyone helped to count by the outer wall of the door, and the counting was still consistent.

"Understood, this is a small amount of money, change, so much money added together, it is equal to the ticket you just held in your hand!" Someone who understands said it out loud.

"Then what am I going to do in exchange? And it's much better than just now!" After the scholar finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to go back, but was stopped. The human:

"Xiucai, why are you staying? These small coins and small changes are easy to spend, otherwise people will find you money, in case it is still those faint and rotten money, do you want it or not?"

"Oh yes!" Immediately, there was a clever turn: "If we can change talents, why can't we?" Wouldn't it be good for them all to go home and take out those bills and replace them with new ones?"

Everyone applauded, so they turned around and ran to their homes regardless of the talent, leaving the scholars still in a daze.

After lunch, people around the bank flocked to it. What caught the second counter off guard was that everyone came to exchange for new banknotes. This was bad, he quickly transferred a few guys to help fill out the form (many illiterate people can't write), and sent someone to the head office to report.

Everyone wrote straight to the time of the lamp, and a total of more than 700 people handled the exchange of money. In the end, I had to tell all the folks that I could come again tomorrow, so I finally closed the door.

Who knew that when I got up early the next morning, the security guard was startling as soon as he opened the door. I saw a long queue outside the door occupying half of the street, and I asked if they were all here to change money.

It turned out that the people who got the new banknotes and coins last night went back to show off to the neighbors, and everyone was shocked by the beautiful, beautiful "dragon ticket" with a dragon pattern watermark.

"Our old banknotes and old money are all taken out, and the amount will be exchanged tomorrow!" Everyone can see the good things, who will continue to be nostalgic for those faint and rotten bills?

This incident attracted Li Dan's attention last night, and he immediately instructed the Xicheng sub-branch, which was originally scheduled to open in 10 days, to open immediately, and at the same time asked the head office to urgently transfer a batch of new banknotes to the Dongcheng sub-branch in the early hours of the morning in an armored carriage.

The experience of the previous life played a role, and later Wu Mao said that this decision was too timely, if this batch of new banknotes was not adjusted, some types of new banknotes (especially the two types of consistent and five hundred coins) of the Dongcheng branch would be used up by the afternoon!

Who knows what the emotional people will do?

"I didn't expect that the most popular business was not saving but exchanging new banknotes, and it seems that we still have some

It's subjective."

Li Dan smiled bitterly, stood in the distance and waved his hands with Wen Zhou and Wu Mao to see the lively scene at the door of the bank. "How's that over there?" He asked.

"It's also starting to change money, I heard that the people in the east city are about to line up under the drum tower, and the people in the west city are also running home!" Wu Mao stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that this matter of replacing old banknotes would be solved like this, which is far simpler than we imagined!"

"Don't just look at the smooth situation, some people are not happy to see this." Li Dan warned:

"The banknote factory needs to be put into production sooner, otherwise the four million new banknotes printed in Liaoning (the total amount of commissioned production is four million) will still have an accident when they run out!" He narrowed his eyes:

"And now it's just the people and citizens participating, and those wealthy families haven't made a move yet!"
