The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

After the war in Fuzhou ended, Zhu Heyi, who was far away in Dingtianfu, received news from Li Zhenhua that 500 million taels of silver had been seized.

However, before he could be happy for long, another telegram came back.

"In order to block the waterway of the Minjiang River, the Qing Dynasty robbed more than a hundred civilian ships. It is estimated that the compensation will exceed 200 million taels of silver!"

Holding this telegram, Zhu Heyi's face became quite ugly.

Sink the ship and seal the river, imitating Chiang Kai-shek?This is the idea given by some wise man.

Old Chiang Kai-shek's water and land armies can still resist and struggle for a while. With such a disparity in strength, you don't even have a chance to struggle. You are just looking for trouble for him!

And 300 million taels of silver!

This already accounts for more than half of Fuzhou City’s harvest!

Mad, he still had to wipe the mess left by the Tatars, and he had to wipe it.

Zhu Heqi could be said to be gnashing his teeth with hatred for the mandarin dog official who issued this order.

After all, this was all his money!

In addition, the telegram sent back by Li Zhenhua also mentioned the issue of the surrender of Qing troops and the issue of surrendered Qing officials.

Because of the battle at the South Gate, the Eight Banners soldiers in Fuzhou were basically slaughtered, and Hu Qiyuan also cooled off in advance, so the surrender of the Qing officials and the Green Camp was not blocked.

Therefore, the Qing army surrendered in Fuzhou City reached more than 1 people. Counting the Qing troops captured in the direction of Xiamen, the Qing army surrendered more than 2 troops.

Naturally, it is impossible to kill all these Green Camp soldiers who surrendered. If we did, I am afraid that no Green Camp soldiers would be willing to surrender in future battles.

After all, you are going to die anyway, so why not try your best before you die and try to get someone to back you up?

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has been gone for such a long time, and the original batch of Green Camp soldiers composed of soldiers from the Ming Army have now grown old, and have been replaced by their children and nephews. These people are not guilty enough to die.

But the father's debt is paid by the son, so they don't have to die, but they still have to atone for the sins of their fathers.

Therefore, Zhu Heyi planned to set up a construction corps with these green battalion troops and the subsequent Qing army troops, and let them go to the west... Let them be responsible for various infrastructure construction in the new Ming Dynasty.

As for those Qing officials who surrendered?

"Come here! Call General Li back."

"Carry out a comprehensive review of the troops surrendered by the Qing army. Those who have caused harm to the people in the past will be punished according to their crimes. The remaining personnel will be centralized and detained, and a construction corps will be established based on this."

"Conduct a comprehensive review of the Qing officials who surrendered in the recovered areas, and retain only those who are honest and honest, and the rest will be punished according to their crimes!"

"The recovered areas will be transferred to military control, and those who commit evil will be severely punished."

"Hold the imperial examination and recruit local officials below the state capital through private selection!"

Zhu Heyi issued several orders in succession.

As for officials, although he said before that only those who are honest and honest will be retained in office, it is almost unnecessary to think about the fact that there are absolutely very few officials who can be retained.

That's why he later held an exam to recruit local officials.

Naturally, the content of the exam cannot be eight-legged essay.

This kind of article that focuses on form, restricts thoughts, and completely ignores people's livelihood and political affairs has almost no effect except cultivating students' moral character.

And don’t these officials who have studied so many Four Books and Five Classics eventually become more greedy than the last?

The new imperial examination will focus on application theory and practical examination, and the Four Books and Five Classics will no longer be the main examination content. Although this may be unfair to those scholars who have studied eight-legged essays all their lives, with current events being like this, the Ming Dynasty no longer needs the sourness of those who open their mouths and keep silent. Confucian.

On the contrary, those European bandits who drink blood from raw materials need these.

When you have the ability in the future, send out all those sour scholars who can't adapt and let them educate the European bandits and let them learn the way of saints.

……

After replying to Li Zhenhua's telegram, Zhu Heyi immediately began to design new banknotes.

The new banknotes have a minimum face value of one cent, which is equivalent to ten cents.

Going up is five cents, one dime, five cents.It is equivalent to fifty coins, one hundred coins, five hundred coins.

The reverse side of these banknotes depicts the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, while the front side depicts the totems of the four sacred beasts: green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and basalt.

The one-yuan banknotes with larger denominations have a soaring five-clawed golden dragon on the back, and the handsome and mighty face of Emperor Zhu Da on the front.

Emperor Zhu Da, who claimed to be the savior of the Ming Dynasty, felt that his abilities were enough to earn money.

Of course, the one-dollar note is not the largest banknote denomination. There are also large-denomination banknotes of ten yuan and one hundred yuan.

The backs of these two denominations of banknotes still have a five-clawed golden dragon, but in different shapes. On the front, the ten-yuan banknote has a bust of Zhu Di, and the hundred-yuan banknote has a bust of Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, this avatar is not what is recorded in history books.

Affected by the magically modified version of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty have now recognized that the "Zhu Di" and "Zhu Yuanzhang" (Hu Jun) in the play are the original appearances of the Ming emperors.

Therefore, the banknote avatar became their avatar.

"If these two people knew that in a different time and space, their faces were printed on banknotes, they would probably thank me."

Emperor Zhu Da thought secretly.

Regarding the name of the new coin, Zhu Heyi thought about it and decided to call it the dragon coin.

After all, behind the Type [-] banknotes with the largest denominations is a five-clawed golden dragon.

As for the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes?

This name was passed by him from the beginning.

The precious banknotes of the Ming Dynasty have depreciated by a thousand times in a hundred years, and they have been reduced to waste paper in the later period. The recognition of the banknotes by the common people is almost zero.

Emperor Zhu Da would definitely not let his new coins have anything to do with it.

In addition, there are only two types of metal currencies, one is the standard copper coin of Tianyun Tongbao, and the other is the silver dollar.

The shape of the copper coin is simple, only the embossed characters on the old copper coin have been changed.

The silver dollar is the first of its kind in history.

Each silver dollar weighs 37.3 grams, with a dragon totem on the back, the word "One Yuan" in the center of the front, and wheat ears on both sides. The upper and lower edges are printed with the small characters of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty and the first year of Tianyun. (50 grams is too big, so let’s use 37.3 grams. In fact, this is already very large. I suddenly want to customize a few--)

It is worth mentioning that the coin-making equipment I bought not long ago includes electroplating equipment, which can coat the surface of silver coins with a layer of anti-oxidation silver ions.

In other words, the new coins created will not be as gray and dull as the current silver ingots and coins, but will have a shiny appearance.

And as long as the surface coating is not damaged, the silver coin can remain shiny for a long time.

However, given that people always like to use their teeth to identify the authenticity of silver, it is not easy to protect its coating from damage.

It seems that a law prohibiting the destruction of coins will have to be issued.

The style of the entire set of new coins was thus finalized by Zhu Heyi.

Of course, he has only drawn a sketch so far, and the specific graphics still need to be perfected by professional painters.

The official issuance time of this new set of coins is tentatively scheduled for the first day of the first lunar month in 1691, and now there are only more than ten days before the issuance time. (Did you mention what year to use? Let’s default to the lunar calendar. Festival times in the Gregorian calendar change all the time, so it’s hard to check.)

It is necessary not only to perfect the new coin pattern, but also to produce the plate. The time can be said to be quite tight.

Speaking of which, life flies by so fast!It’s almost New Year’s Day (the Spring Festival in ancient times has many names), and after that comes the Lantern Festival, which has been the most important in the past.

Is it time to prepare in advance?
