Chapter 431: The Chinese Official Silver Trumpet

The first few times they came to Fengtian, they were only busy digging tombs, and they hadn't visited Bagua Street yet, so the four of them walked around and listened to Song Siyuan talk about the history of Bagua Street.

Bagua Street is the name of the market of the common people of Fengtian, and its official name is quite long, called the South Market of Fengtian City.

If you want to say that its establishment has something to do with the previous dynasty, and if you talk about it carefully, there is a history.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the former government and the foreign powers signed the "Treaty of Friendship and Commerce", which stipulated that a commercial port area should be established around Mukden Province for the use of foreign merchants from the West.

After negotiations, the government and the powers each took a step back, and the governance, legal and land rights of the commercial port land still belonged to Fengtian Province, and at the same time, the port yamen was established to prepare land and manage the affairs of the port streets, which were only for the use of Westerners.

In the following years, General Shengjing of the former dynasty took the lead in establishing the port opening yamen in Fengtian, which was specially used to manage the port boundary, survey the land boundary, and redeem the land.

After discussion, the port opening bureau decided to demarcate the land between the large and small west gate and the west outer gate to the Westerners, and at the same time finalized the port boundary, and since then, the west to the Manchurian railway annex, the north to the Huangsi Square, the south to the Hunhe Dam, and the east to the outer wall, all of which are regarded as the western commercial port boundary, are under the management of the open port yamen, and the two areas are connected into a piece at the same time with the gate wall, constituting a Westerner living area.

After they dealt with the tenants and people in the port boundary, the commercial port land was also successfully demarcated, and then the Western countries did business and lived, built factories and shops, settled and preached, and even the consulates and consulates of the Western countries also gathered here, forming a prosperous and lively Western trade area.

After the Republic of China, the opening of the port yamen was transformed into the commercial port bureau, which is still responsible for the management of the commercial port boundary.

The turbulence of the current situation will inevitably affect the operation of the commercial port, at this time the situation in Fengtian is changing, all walks of life want to develop the national industry and commerce, the call is very high, in the voice of the people, the commercial port bureau also feels that it can not allow Westerners to erode the land and rob the people, and decided to open up two square pieces of land within the original port boundary to establish a national commercial area.

Since then, with Huangsi Street as the boundary, the north and south markets of Fengtian have been established, and at the same time, the commercial port bureau has also given preferential tax policies like the commercial port industry, attracting patriotic businessmen and people of insight to come here to attract investment, build factories, open shops, and repair theaters.

The common people of Fengtian call the North Market as the Eight Miscellaneous Lands, and the South Market as the Bagua Street, the two are like the Yin and Yang bipolar of Taiji, looking at each other from afar across the Huangsi Street, and gradually forming a prosperous business district belonging to Fengtian.

In the Bagua Street, it is said that there are 120 shops, but in fact, the number of shops is much more than described, with countless groceries, snacks and fruits, pawnshops, tea houses, and photo shops, and more than 30 foreign banks are also here, which can be said to cover all industries of food and entertainment!

As soon as you walk into Yanghang Street, you can see Chinese and foreign businessmen wearing suits and ties, walking on both sides of the street with suitcases, followed by modern girls wearing fur cheongsams, their stiletto heels clattering wildly, knocking out fine notes on the ground.

Looking up, the signboard light boxes of Western banks such as Citigroup, HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Wells Fargo flashed neon, and modern men and women shuttled like a stream, which made the four of them out of place in fur, Song Siyuan unconsciously pulled down the fur: "I knew I wouldn't have worn this out~"

"Okay, okay, we're not here to sell anyway, hurry up and go to the official silver account to get the ocean out and see where it is?"

Yue Guanchao looked at the many signboards on Yangxing Street, and he couldn't understand the twists and turns in the song of Bird Wenying, he turned to Song Siyuan and looked at her, obviously wanting her to give her an idea.

Song Siyuan browsed the street, pointed to the Republic of China emblem in front of her and said:

"Yes, the Zhonghua Guanyin, the predecessor of the Zhonghua Guanyin, was the Hubu Yinhao of the previous dynasty, and there were branches in all provinces, and after the Republic of China, it was reorganized into the Zhonghua Guanyin, which was widely distributed."

"I remember that Brother Xu said that he brought the bills of the Zhonghua Guanyin from Shaanxi Province, and there is no shortage of money to spend all the way, which means that the promissory notes, bills of exchange, and passbooks of the Zhonghua Guanyin can be exchanged, and we can just deposit the money in the Guanyin, and if we want to use the money in the future, we will go to the Guanyin to get it."

"Let's go."

Enter the house and take the number to withdraw the money.

Song Siyuan took them to the Eastern Provincial Guanyin to take out the ocean, and opened an account in the Zhonghua Guanyin to deposit, and when they returned to the teahouse after doing all this, half an hour had passed.

Second Uncle Yue and Zhu Beggars were drinking lively, and the four of them climbed the teahouse, and after a few days of heavy snow, the roof of the building was covered with snow, and it was covered in silver.

They leaned on the railing to look into the distance, the gossip street really deserves its name, the various streets and alleys and buildings form a four-elephant gossip that connects with each other, and the Huaxing round field in the distance is like a cloud, the merchants and tourists are bustling and circulating, and the neon light boxes are mixed with curling green smoke, as if the gossip is printed with flowing spots, which makes people dazzled.

"Here, one person, one string!"
