After Zhang Zhao left Shanghai, Lin Chunhong also went up the Yangtze River to Yangzhou.w w. vm)

Just three days later, an epoch-making event will happen in Yangzhou: the Ming Bank was officially established.

This means that Jingzhou has taken a substantial step in unifying the Ming Dynasty, and it also means that the Ming Dynasty is closer to the world's financial hegemony.

Thinking of Nai Fan Sanba, the first president of the Ming Bank, Lin Chunhong was a little amused: This boy is better than the price. If he loses his luck, he will definitely be listed as a hero in the history books of later generations.

Speaking of the first president of the Ming Bank, the appointment process is quite interesting.

According to Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang's meaning, the general manager of the 11-person committee, that is, the president, should be the general manager of Chen Qiyu, the Minister of Revenue. Their intention was nothing more than to use Chen Qiyu's official power to enhance the weight of the court in the Ming Bank.

Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang originally thought that the court had made great concessions to Lin Chunhong, and Lin Chunhong should not object to Chen Qiyu's lack of experience in working in the bank as a reason.

As a result, after the news reached Jingzhou, before Lin Chunhong could make any sound, Huang Daozhou jumped out first.

Huang Daozhou shouted, since the details of the establishment of the Ming Bank have been announced to the world, they should strictly follow the rules. Chen Qiyu has no experience in working in the bank and must not be one of the eleven members. Otherwise, who would take the emperor's edict seriously in the future?

Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang were furious and wanted to crush Huang Daozhou's bones and ashes to vent their hatred.

The local forces in Jiangnan and some real power figures in Shanxi, Shandong and Northern Zhili knew Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang's plans. When they saw Huang Daozhou coming out to disrupt the situation, they were very upset and began to scold Huang Daozhou for not knowing the current affairs and making trouble, and they would not be able to do anything more than to fail.

As he was cursing, some people began to suspect that Huang Daozhou had secretly defected to Lin Chunhong, and was determined to charge forward bravely for Lin Chunhong with a strong and strong stern stern.

This is already doubting Huang Daozhou's character, and things have become a little serious.

A famous man like Huang Daozhou is famous all over the world for his character and articles. His reputation is his life. If he doubts his character, it is like cutting his flesh and bleeding with a knife.

Huang Daozhou's friends were very nervous, fearing that Huang Daozhou would not be able to think about it, so he found a short-sighted view and protected his side day and night.

Unexpectedly, Huang Daozhou was not surprised and could not see any strangeness. My friend was very surprised and hurriedly asked about the reason. Huang Daozhou just smiled mysteriously and said, "Those who do not plan for the whole world cannot plan for a while... Yang Ge Lao's pattern is still too small..."

My friends were confused. However, when they saw that Huang Daozhou had no intention of seeking a shortcoming, they breathed a sigh of relief and were too lazy to think about what Huang Daozhou was thinking.

After Huang Daozhou's words reached Yang Sichang's ears, Yang Sichang naturally gritted his teeth. However, Yang Sichang had no time to pay attention to Huang Daozhou because he was anxious for the president of the Ming Bank.

According to the rules of the game, the president of Daming Bank must have more than three years of experience in working in a money bank. Therefore, Yang Sichang's choices are very limited, and he can only be generated from Fan Yongdou's money bank.

Yang Sichang naturally believed in Fan Yongdou, but he did not expect that Li Duoyi strongly opposed it and lobbled from many parties, and did not hesitate to threaten a large group of Jiangnan gentry standing behind him, and he must seize the position of the president of the Ming Bank.

Fan Yongdou refused to let the fat meat on his mouth slip away like this, and tried his best to fight against Li Duoyi.

Among them, there are only two words: interests.

The position of the president of the Ming Bank is naturally optional in the eyes of the court, but in the eyes of Fan Yongdou and Li Duoyi, it means a sea of ​​gold and silver! After all, the Ming Bank holds the financial rights of the country. As one of the eleven people, it will naturally obtain more insider information. News means money. Li Duoyi and Fan Yongdou have been ups and downs in the business world for most of their lives. How can they not know this truth?

Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang had a little trick. In front of him, Huang Dafang was arguing about the imperial court and was passive. Later, Fan Yongdou and Li Duoyi fought in the nest. Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang were naturally furious, and they were quite angry about Fan Yongdou and Li Duoyi.

In the end, Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang deeply hated Li Duoyi for threatening the court with the Jiangnan gentry and awarded the president of the Ming Bank to Fan Yongdou's son Fan Sanba.

This is also a definite meaning. After all, Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang had to admit that the court was gradually losing Jiangnan. Instead of winning over Li Duoyi, an unreliable Jiangnan rich merchant, it would be better to hold Shanxi tightly in his own hands.

However, in Li Duoyi's eyes, he believed that the court had been sluggish and felt that he had no future in the court, so he returned to his hometown and began to plan to establish his own money house.

Although Lin Chunhong knew about these messy little things, he was too lazy to pay attention to them. He had more important things to do in Yangzhou.

From a legal perspective and procedural perspective, the protagonists of the establishment of the Ming Bank should be the court. Therefore, as the honorary boss of the Ming Bank, Chen Qiyu rushed to Yangzhou reluctantly as if he had eaten a fly.

On the sixth day of the third month of the 12th year of Chongzhen, firecrackers were roaring, gongs and drums shook the sky, and the whole of Yangzhou was in full swing. After setting up a sign of shoveling money in front of the bank building, Chen Qiyu cut the ribbon for the Ming Bank, and then said some unpainful words, and the Ming Bank was established amid cheers.

Eleven members had already been appointed according to the procedures, without any accidents, such as Phyllis and Qian Bingting were all listed. After the ceremony, the committee held the first meeting of the Ming Bank.

In accordance with the unanimous opinions of the members, the first meeting invited the Marquis of Jiangling of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty to attend.

Lin Chunhong had a title and his official rank was higher than Chen Qiyu, so he naturally sat in front of Chen Qiyu. Chen Qiyu's face was as dark as carbon, and he felt very moved: In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Lin Chunhong was just an optional general under his command. Now he has become the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that things in the world are impermanent and fate is a mess.

Lin Chunhong looked relaxed and listened carefully to the committee members to summarize the recent work and arrange the next work.

The next step is nothing strange. It is nothing more than allowing private money shops to open, adjust the gold and silver exchange ratio, print Chinese coins, exchange previous gold and silver bills, etc. The meeting was hosted by Fan Sanba, but Qian Bingding, the protagonist at the meeting. Fan Sanba also didn't care about this and let Qian Bingding do it.

Just when Chen Qiyu heard it and just wanted to yawn, Qian Bingding threw out an issue, which shocked Chen Qiyu into a cold sweat.

"After the circulation of Chinese currency, the benefits are self-evident. The wider the circulation range, the more money the Ming Dynasty can use. Therefore, the most important task at present is to promote Chinese currency to every corner of Ming Dynasty..." Qian Bingding paused, and his eyes unconsciously moved towards Lin Chunhong.

Lin Chunhong nodded slightly and signaled him to continue speaking.

Qian Bingding continued: "In addition to this most important task, we also have to actively expand the scope of using Chinese currency. The Jurchens, North Korea, Japan and other places already have a large stock of gold and silver bills. Therefore, the use of Chinese currency in these places is only a matter of time, and we don't have to do anything deliberately."

"As for Nanyang, let alone, Nanyang rarely see transactions using Dayuan, either through bills or carrying gold tickets. Therefore, there is no problem in Nanyang."

"The key to the problem lies in the West. There are a large number of barbarians in the West, and there are also Europeans who have traveled thousands of miles, whether they are barbarians or Europeans, who only recognize gold and silver when trading, and are reluctant to accept paper money. Now, I want to ask everyone to work together to expand the scope of Chinese currency in the West?"

Chen Qiyu and Fan Sanba were shocked.

This is just like the black boss in the east of the city summoned a meeting of brothers. He was about to hear what his brothers had about the gangs attacking the west of the city, but he heard that his brothers were discussing how to conquer the entire Ming Dynasty and take the position of the Nine Five Lords.

Chen Qiyu and Fan Sanba had completely short-circuited their minds, and they looked at Lin Chunhong and the other ten members blankly, unable to say a word.

The other ten members spoke freely and came up with various tricks.

Some members suggested that more than 70,000 troops from the Western fleet should be gathered to drive Portugal and the Netherlands out of the Western Conference, and force the barbarians to use Chinese coins...

Some members suggested that the Ming Dynasty's dominant position in trade should be used step by step to gradually expand the scope of use of the Chinese currency...

Some members suggested that gold and silver should be banned from circulation in Temasek, so that Western merchants holding gold and silver could not buy any goods...

There are a variety of suggestions, some even a little confused. However, Lin Chunhong kept smiling and encouraged the members to speak enthusiastically.

At the beginning, Chen Qiyu and Fan Sanba suspected that Lin Chunhong deliberately ordered the members to perform a play, which made them fear the strength of Jingzhou. However, after hearing these messy speeches, they had to admit that Jingzhou had indeed expanded its power to the West and occupied an advantageous position in the West.

Chen Qiyu really realized a fact: in the minds of overseas countries, Lin Chunhong is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is Lin Chunhong!

Chen Qiyu was in a bad mood and kept sighing in his heart: Mr. Yang and I tried their best to win a glimmer of hope for the court, and this effort was wasted.

Chen Qiyu could not suppress his sadness and eventually left the seat early and left Yangzhou overnight.

The members' discussions naturally have little reference value. Lin Chunhong ordered Qian Bingding to raise this issue, which does mean to act for Chen Qiyu to show it. However, this play does not have a script, and it also brings reality into the play without exaggeration.

Chen Qiyu left Yangzhou in a state of turmoil, and Lin Chunhong's goal had been achieved. Next, he was full of expectations for how Chen Qiyu reported to Yang Sichang and Zhu Youjian.
