I'm a big dick

Chapter 248 Silver Yuan, the favor of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce
The winter in the capital is much colder than that in the south. This is the initial feeling of Sun Yingyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Yongwei Battalion who has just returned.

But the new feeling was far more than that. In martial arts, he was a little stunned watching the fists and kicks in the square rope ring.

Qi Shiguang, the champion of the new martial arts, ran into his enemy Xu Sanshao again.Don't speculate, wear a cotton helmet, thick gloves, and a crotch protector, and see the truth in the competition field.

And this ring was ordered by the emperor to be built.The rules of the contest were also drawn up by the emperor.According to the name of later generations, it is free fighting.

At the beginning, the martial arts students thought it was the emperor's punishment.It was Long Live who was angered by the Wu Jinshi who passed the palace examination with panda eyes and bruised face.

But soon, they fell in love with the sport.The good people also compiled a ranking according to the outcome, which further stimulated the enthusiasm of the students.

They are all warriors, so don't beep if you can do it, be direct and straightforward.

What's more, there is a ranking list, who doesn't want to fight all over the martial arts and win the first place?
Qi Shiguang shook his head, a little dizzy from Xu Sanshao's heavy punch.But Xu Sanshao wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but Qi Shiguang caught him again, and fell onto the ring with his pocket on his back.

"Okay, this is a beautiful trick." Sun Yingyuan clapped his hands and applauded, from dumbfounded to full of interest.

Zhou Yuji also applauded, and said to Sun Yingyuan with a smile: "If it weren't for the rank of the official, a certain would really want to end up in a fight."

Sun Yingyuan glanced at Zhou Yuji, and joked, "Isn't it just an excuse? I see that these two guys are unambiguous, so it would be embarrassing for the two of us to go up!"

Zhou Yuji laughed, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said slowly: "The new muskets are about to be equipped, and the Beijing camp is the first batch. We not only need to let the soldiers use them skillfully, but also study and find out new ways of fighting in battle formations."

Sun Yingyuan nodded, still a little puzzled, and asked: "Firelocks or firearms, is there a problem with the previous array? Why use a new method of warfare?"

Zhou Yuji shook his head and said, "Now I can't tell you clearly, when hundreds of people are equipped, you will see the difference when you watch them use it."

After a pause, Zhou Yuji went on to say: "The Beijing battalion will also go to the front in batches to participate in the battle experience, just like you led the team to the southwest. See the blood and increase the actual combat experience. When the enemy is exhausted, all the troops will be dispatched. It’s time to lay the groundwork for victory.”

"I can guess this." Sun Yingyuan nodded slightly, and said: "Right now, the troops are standing still. One is to train strictly and equip well, and the other is to paralyze the enemy so that they don't know the true strength of our army."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yuji, and asked with a smile, "According to your guess, how many years will it take?"

Zhou Yuji pondered for a while, and said, "It will take at least two years to train cavalry, equip muskets and artillery, and then train well!"

"Almost." Sun Yingyuan nodded, shifted his eyes to the ring, stretched out his fingers and smiled, "The winner has been decided, you lost."

On the field, Qi Shiguang was raised by the referee with his right hand, while Xu Sanshao was panting while leaning on the rope, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Zhou Yuji smiled heartily, and with a toss of his hand, the brand-new silver dollar flew up in an arc in the air, and Sun Yingyuan reached out to catch it, smiling even more freely.

Years ago, the salaries, salaries of officials, and rewards from officers and soldiers were all exchanged for newly minted silver coins.

The imperial court also issued a decree, "Using Kuping pure silver six cents four cents and eight cents as the price unit, named the round", "one silver coin, with a total weight of seven cents and two cents, silver eighty-nine, copper one eleven", silver and silver are common.

The two Imperial Banks in Beijing and Nanjing opened, and merchants and common people could cash in the standard of silver two seven cents and two cents equivalent to one silver coin.

Obviously, the emperor launched silver coins before the new year for the sake of celebration, but he was still very cautious.

The two silver system was not abolished all at once. First, the two silver coins circulated in parallel.

For the time being, there are only two exchange banks, although the imperial decree has planned the locations of many banks in Guangzhou, Hankou, Xi'an, Suzhou, etc.

Sufficient reserves, the completion and operation of two mints in Beijing and Nanjing, the situation of foreign wars are getting better and better, and the attack on the gentry and students in the south of the Yangtze River all gave the emperor the first step to abolish the two and change the yuan, adding confidence.

It hasn't been long since the New Deal was launched, but good news has come one after another.The Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce took the lead in supporting it, and the first batch was exchanged for 60 taels of silver coins, which will be used for foreign trade.

What, there are not so many silver coins, so I have to wait!It's okay, the money will be handed over first.We have money, and we are not in a hurry to spend it, we can afford to wait.

What surprised Zhu Youxiao was the reaction of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, whose enthusiasm for support was no less than that of the two major chambers of commerce he personally supported and took charge of.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce not only exchanged 30 silver dollars at the Bank of Nanjing, but also came to the capital to exchange another 30.In the same way, pay the money first, and then wait obediently.

Although it didn't make much noise, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce believed that the emperor must be very concerned about the silver dollar just launched.At this time, it is a good time to win the favor of the emperor and strive to be on an equal footing with the two major chambers of commerce.

Zhu Youxiao did know that he also got news about the actions of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce after its establishment, and he had to admire the businessman's keen sense of smell.

I can figure out my own mind, see the key to the two major chambers of commerce being favored by the holy will, and hope to use practical actions to obtain equal status.

Zhu Youxiao also guessed the purpose of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and he felt at ease by being so flattering.With the support of the three major chambers of commerce, the speed of abolishing the two reforms can be greatly accelerated. This is a good thing!

Evil gentry, students, profiteers, these are the targets that Zhu Youxiao included in the attack plan.Although I have some good feelings for the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the plan has not changed.Profitable merchants still need to be cracked down on, while righteous merchants must be supported.

Moreover, only one national chamber of commerce is required in the future.If it can be integrated without too much effort, Zhu Youxiao has no reason to refuse.

At this time, in the Imperial Study Room of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjiao was teaching Zheng Yiguan face-to-face tips.

"This is Tang Mo's information." Zhu Youxiao signaled the palace staff to forward it to Zheng Yiguan, and said slowly: "Looking at what he did, he can be called a businessman. Go talk to him and tell me It means to see what his plans are."

Merchants have scholars, which means that although some merchants are engaged in business affairs, they despise profits and value righteousness.Even, some merchants' trips were more noble than some scholars, and such merchants were called "merchants" at that time.

The leader of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce who came to the capital this time is Tang Mo, a great merchant from Songjiang, who was born in Zhusheng.He recruited Confucian scholars and taught his children at home.I usually don't forget to do good deeds in the village, but it meets the standards of charity business.

"In business and business, what I dislike the most is the collusion between government and businessmen, which erodes national interests. Being law-abiding and operating with integrity is the number one priority, and I value it the most."
