The three of them chatted while drinking, chatting about the battles they had had, about the customs of North America, about the bison herd in the Montana wilderness, and about their homeland of China......

The newspaper said that in recent years, floods, droughts, and insect plagues have continued in several southern provinces, and the Tartar court is still preying on the common people, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are becoming more and more rampant, and the toiling masses are living in dire straits. The poor people who couldn't survive responded to the call, the long-haired thieves in Liangguang, the Hui people in Shaanxi, and the Twist Army revolted one after another, and the war spread from the coastal provinces to Huguang, and the southwest half of the country, seeing that a great chaos was imminent......"

Drank for a long time

Several people were drunk, and Second Lieutenant Fan Pengfei brought up this heavy topic with a big tongue, a look of grief and indignation appeared on his face, and he put down the fast son in his hand and continued;

"People in troubled times are not as good as dogs! How many times I woke up in the middle of the night, and my mind was filled with countless people staggering forward, and I will never forget the tragic scene. The fleeing people fell down as they walked, just like my father and my mother and my younger siblings at home, who could never get up again......"

Speaking of which

A burst of heavy emotions surged into his heart, his nose was sore, Fan Pengfei's long-suppressed emotions exploded, tears flowed on his face, and he couldn't help choking; "It's too hard, I can't live!"

"Alas...... It's not easy for anyone to live, I empathize! ”

"Yes, but thousands of miles away from the ocean, what can we do with ordinary people?"

"What's not to do? I've already sent money and letters to my family, and while the current situation is still stable, I'm going to buy a few tickets to North America. Whether it is panning for gold or working, it is not a problem to eat enough at all, and there is still a lot of hope for life, which is much better than struggling in my hometown. ”

"This is true, there are already many people in our army who have done this, and it is not an exaggeration to say that North America is full of gold, as long as you bend down and bend down to pick it up, you can also mix it up casually."

"Why don't you have a round belly? As long as you have a little craftsmanship, marrying a wife and having children in our kingdom, buying land and buying a house is still a thing? Is it okay to have a snot bubble in the snot on a beautiful day? ”

"Hahaha...... This is very reasonable......"

The emotional turn was so fast, the tears on Fan Pengfei's face had not dried, and he couldn't take the emotions that the two partners said, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It's a pity that he is an orphan, and his parents, brothers and sisters have died on the way to escape from the great famine, but fortunately, there are still second, fourth, and fifth uncles in the village.

When conditions permitted, he also moved the idea of writing a letter and sending money back.

Overseas Chinese are like this, without relatives around them, it is like a rootless wanderer, even if they are surrounded by Chinese compatriots with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, but after all, they are foreigners, and this thick local concept can not be abandoned.

"The government's priority now is ...... It is to effectively settle Chinese immigrants, so that they can have jobs, food, and a prosperous life, and they can start a family after working for a few years, marry a wife and have children, and even if they rent a house to live, they can be regarded as settling down. ”

Richard tapped his fingers on the table to emphasize the importance of this work, in order to arouse the attention of the royal courtiers and keep the string tight.

in the hall

Richard sat on the top of the throne, and more than 20 heads of government officials below stood with their hands bowed, and next to him, the royal secretary sat on one side and wrote hard to record the details of His Majesty's inquiries with the courtiers.

This is a regular royal meeting, three times a week, related to the livelihood of the people of the Tang Kingdom, foreign policy, key projects, military and trade and other issues, will be decided at the royal meeting, promulgated and implemented.

Richard has always held the power of governance tightly, and when leading the army to fight abroad, he will use flying horse telecommunications and long-distance telegraphs to remotely command, and postpone the handling of major matters that are difficult to decide.

His gaze scanned the ministers sharply, and he said in a steady tone;

"The success of the resettlement work is a major issue that has a bearing on the resettlement of the migrants and their ability to live and work in peace and contentment.

Near-stage

It is necessary to discuss and pass the "Law on the Rights of Naturalized Citizens", "Commercial Law", "Tax Law of the Tang Kingdom", "Law on Urban Construction Management", "Law on the Good Order of Rural Folk Customs" and other relevant laws, which is the correct direction for the Tang Kingdom to establish a country governed by law, and it must be unremittingly implemented.

So-called; People do not stand without rules.

The government of the Tang Kingdom should always be committed to establishing a fair, law-based, and free business social environment, not belittling traders, not squeezing capital, and developing agriculture, industry, commerce, and mathematics at the same time, and working hard to build a prosperous industrialized society.

Only by establishing the rules first, can businessmen know what to do and what not to do, where are their legal rights and obligations?

Whether it is a business or a merchant, only by paying taxes legally can they develop healthily within the kingdom order and share in the fruits of increasing prosperity.

The same is true for government officials, and the Royal Police Department will open a monitoring mailbox to receive reports of malfeasance and corruption among government officials, and to supervise the government and officials with public opinion.

The Queen's Interior Commissioner will set up a special office to receive reports of corruption among officials, and once verified, they will be severely punished.

It has only been more than two years since the establishment of the Wang Guozheng, and there have already been some very bad signs of collusion between officials and businessmen, which deserve everyone's vigilance.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way......"

Richard talked for a moment about the direction of governance in response to some recent problems in the royal government, and then ordered Alan Maupassant, general manager of Sequoia Tree Bank, Huang Yuanqing, financial commissioner, Chen Cailiang, economic commissioner, and Chen Chuan, interior commissioner, to stay, and the rest of them can disperse and do their own thing.

After the courtiers bowed respectfully, they withdrew from the hall one after another.

After going out, most of them felt a sweat on their backs, and His Majesty's gaze was too sharp, as if he could see through the depths of his heart at a glance, and the pressure to face His Majesty was too great.

in the chamber

The simplest matter of the Interior Commissioner Chen Chuan is to set up a special agency to receive reports from the public transmitted by police stations in various places, and to clarify the responsibilities of corruption within the government on a full-time basis.

The department has independent investigative powers, and has the responsibility of supervising officials at all levels of government, named the "Office of Integrity", and is directly responsible to the Interior Commissioner Chen Chuan.

After a few words of advice, Chen Chuan resigned.

Richard stepped down from the throne at the top and beckoned several others to sit down in the side hall, where the court maids served tea and pastries, and talked in detail about a series of problems after the issuance of the "Tang Yuan" currency.

Now that the official "Tang Yuan" currency has been issued, the army, enterprises, businesses and private trade within the Tang Kingdom are all denominated in the new currency, which belongs to the new currency and various versions of the US dollar, British pound, franc, and peso mixed circulation stage.

The new currency was issued under the auspices of the Financial Commissioner's Office of the Tang Kingdom, and Sequoia Bank was responsible for the specific issuance of notes.

Therefore, the report on the currency issuance matters was explained by Alan Maupassant, general manager of Sequoia Tree Bank, and added by Huang Yuanqing, financial officer, covering several major issues in currency issuance.

The first problem is currency printing.

For the printing of the new Tang Yuan banknotes, the relevant special paper is made of pulp imported from the United Kingdom, and the unique plant fibers of North America are added, and finally made through dozens of complex processes.

The special paper for confidential banknotes has the advantages of smooth and crisp surface, deep immersion of ink printing, vivid graphics, good color fastness, resistance to use, and resistance to kneading and folding, which is completely different from ordinary paper.

Added to the North American unique plant fiber banknote paper, the color is natural light green, with good anti-counterfeiting, non-reproducible characteristics, printed with British imported money printing machine, is one of the best banknotes today.

The disadvantage is that the special paper for banknotes is expensive to make, and the special printing equipment is controlled by British technicians, and it is not allowed to touch or touch, let alone operate the equipment.

Richard didn't have a good idea of what to do about it.

The entire set of British money printing equipment imported from the British banknote printing factory was controlled by the management personnel and money printing technicians sent by the British banknote printing factory, and many of the secrecy clauses were so harsh that it was difficult to accept, but they had to pinch their noses and endure it.

Otherwise, you can't get such an advanced special multi-color money printing equipment.

At present, the printing and issuance of banknotes and coins is progressing in an orderly manner.

Chang'an banknote printing factory does not mention for the time being, as long as the "Tang Yuan" banknotes can be smoothly printed and issued, other problems can be solved later, and there is no hurry.

The situation was much better at the Chang'an Mint, where the gold, silver and copper coins in the new currency issuance also used die-casting equipment imported from the United Kingdom, and due to their technical insensitivity, most were operated by trained Chinese workers.

The Tang Kingdom itself is a gold-rich region, and the largest Morench copper mine in the Americas has also been put into production, coupled with the proximity to Mexico, which is rich in silver, has abundant gold, silver and copper resources, so a large number of coins of different denominations have been issued, which are widely praised by the people and have a high degree of acceptance.

Some of the finely minted gold, silver, and copper coins of the Tang Kingdom were extremely popular in neighboring Mexico and the Qing Kingdom on the other side of the Pacific, and were used as hard currency.

It is precisely because of their popularity that the loss of various coins is very fast and the amount is not small, which has caused a relative shortage of the internal market of the kingdom.

In response to this problem, Richard's instructions were to further increase the number of silver and copper coins issued, continue to maintain the rhythm and quantity of gold coins, and alleviate the loss of market circulation.

Through trade with southern Mexico, a large amount of Mexican silver flowed into the Tang Kingdom, which was not lacking at all, and the Tang Kingdom itself was a country with extremely rich copper ore resources, so silver coins and copper coins could be openly developed.

The silver and copper coins of the Tang Kingdom are sufficient, good in fineness, and beautifully minted, and only the right to collect the minting tax can achieve a huge income of 15%.

The issuance of gold coins should be controlled to avoid the outflow of large amounts of gold resources.

Nowadays, countries around the world have never paid much attention to the rights and interests of coinage.

In particular, the crudely made Mexican silver, the copper coins of the Great Qing Dynasty with insufficient copper content, the troublesome silver, and the banknotes privately printed by various states in the United States can all clearly reflect this characteristic.

The people of any country are not stupid, and the coins of the Tang Kingdom that were minted beautifully entered the markets of Mexico, Central American countries and the Qing Dynasty, and were immediately widely welcomed.

Copper and silver coins, which are heavy in their own right, have a currency circulation value, and in these countries they are not only easy to use, but also become good money that is widely accepted by merchants and people, and they are even reluctant to use it.

This is a strange phenomenon in the circulation of currency in the world today, and it is also the real reason why more and more coins in the Tang Kingdom are minted, and there is a shortage of circulation in the market.
