Chapter 28 Currency

Some pork and chicken are not painful when sent out. As for prisoners and spoils, they are the lifeblood and must not be given to Yang Linyi.

Yang Linyi picked up some small gains, captured six or seven thousand and seized three or four thousand guns, and Liu Jingxiao made great profits. He captured nearly twenty thousand prisoners and paid more than ten thousand guns. Even the other two battalions of the siege heavy artillery regiment of the Hubei Army surrendered without firing one shot.

The various units of the Hubei army desperately broke through the south and then surrendered to Liu Jingxiao's troops. After all, this was for the sake of their own future and money. It fell into the hands of barbarians like Yang Linyi. God knows how much hardship it will suffer!

Not to mention anything else, Liu Jingxiao's prisoner camp had at least hot vegetables and hot soup, and had free time to move around every day. Liu Jingxiao even agreed to pay the prisoners. Of course, the final one was Liu Jingxiao printed a special ticket for Henan, and some of the prisoners who escaped from civil rights were stripped of only a shirt. Moreover, Shaanxi bandits are famous for wanting guns and not having people. Since this is the case, everyone has to choose their own good.

The 70,000 to 80,000 troops of the Hubei army were almost gone on the Longhai Road. Su Hanqiu originally wanted to commit suicide by raising his gun, but was dragged by Bai Ling. Bai Ling shouted loudly: "Old Su! You have to think about Axue!"

However, they broke through Kaifeng and only brought six or seven hundred people around them. After three or four days, they also gathered thousands of people from six or seven established units.

At this time, Liu Jingxiao and Yang Linyi also met on Longhai Road, and the opening ceremony was a polite saying: "I have long admired the name of Liu Division Chief... Governor Yang, you are so polite. I am just a small officer. I was promoted to this position because of Ding Chong's promotion. How dare I supervise the same province as you..."

But when it comes to substantive issues, Liu Jingxiao turned against him and wanted guns and cannons. I'm sorry, no! I want ammunition, I'm sorry, no! I want money, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you, Governor Yang, you, the governor of the province, ask me, a small division commander, for money, you really lose face!

Yang Linyi also turned against others and wanted to set up Liu Jingxiao to his headquarters to talk to Zhuzhuan at night, but saw Liu Jingxiao's armored train patrolling back and forth. The guards beside him were all warriors who had fought for the rest of their lives, and they all had two revolvers. They immediately laughed: "Teacher Liu! Why did you say that when you sent Mr. Murong to negotiate..."

Liu Jingxiao smiled and said, "But I'm in a difficult situation now. Are you not satisfied with getting the position of a supervisor?"

The pseudo-Shandong Governor Ding Jing appointed Yang Linyi as the governor of Henan, which was a huge joke. Moreover, Liu Jingxiao is not interested in Henan at all. After defeating the Hubei army, he thought of returning to Shandong. He refused to stay even one soldier, and Yang Linyi was left alone there and called himself a widow.

Yang Linyi was afraid that Liu Jingxiao would not leave in Henan. Unexpectedly, Liu Jingxiao felt that this big fat piece of Shandong was not comparable to that of the barren land in Henan, and he was determined to escape back. Therefore, Yang Linyi asked Liu Jingxiao to stay some troops in Henan and at least one brigade was left.

Liu Jingxiao refused, but said, "You are the governor of Henan, so we Shandong are naturally embarrassed to station troops in Henan..."

Yang Linyi said again: "So, do you want to break the appointment and return?"

His division seized a lot of guns this time, but without Liu Jingxiao's assistance, there was still no way to play in Henan. Liu Jingxiao then said: "Governor Yang, our army issued a special ticket in Henan. This time we returned to the army in a hurry. I hope Yang will take it back..."

"Our army is also in trouble..."

"Our army is willing to give it to you with a lot of money..."

As expected, after Yang Linyi publicly announced to the outside world that he would take back all the Henan special tickets for Shandong Bank coins, Liu Jingxiao was indeed very happy and immediately sent boxes of cash. The total amount was 2 million yuan when counting, but there was one shortage. The Shandong Bank coins were stamped with the words "Limited to Henan's use of the thief army".

Yang Linyi was almost going crazy and wanted to mobilize the troops immediately, but Yue Zhonglin persuaded him and said, "Brother, don't worry... These tickets can still be used for delivery..."

This time the Hubei army was defeated, Liu Jingxiao quickly sent people to force the sale of special tickets everywhere, especially the Huang Yang who persuaded the prisoners to surrender and made great contributions. Now he is promoting everywhere that "Henan Provincial Banknotes have become waste paper, come and exchange new coins quickly." He followed the fire extinguishing brigade, which was temporarily sent to the battlefield, and found that all Henan Provincial Banknotes were confiscated on the market, and a small part of the spoil was sold to collect some of them, so the special tickets were used in half of Henan.

However, the value of the currency is sluggish, and the one-yuan special ticket can only be used as a hexagonal depositary envoy on the market. Yue Zhonglin advised: "At least, you can be a 60% discount envoy, just keep it..."

Yang Linyi said: "No matter how much it can be replaced, we will eventually take it back, and it is not us who suffer the loss in the end..."

No matter how much he said, there was always something wrong with having money. Then Liu Jingxiao informed Yang Linyi that he was willing to support a large amount of arms because Yang Linyi conquered the civil rights. However, for a time, he drew several ammunitions every month, and the number was controlled by Liu Jingxiao. He sent five hundred rifles, six artillery guns, and several ammunitions were attached.

These weapons were all due to different calibers of the 17th Division. However, for Yang Linyi, who wanted to gain strength, it was a timely help. For a moment, Commander Liu's envoy became a guest again.

But Yang Linyi really didn't expect that Liu Jingxiao would be so cruel.

In Guide City.

Ding Ning said: "I feel that the printing is still too little, so the teacher will add some more..."

This was the first time she had the opportunity to attend such a top-level meeting. This was originally a small meeting where Liu Jingxiao and Guo Junqing privately decided on several of the most important matters of the 17th Division. Even several brigade commanders did not have the opportunity to attend. Later, several wives could attend and talk, but the final decision was still in the hands of Liu Jingxiao and Guo Junqing.

Liu Jingxiao said, "Forget it... We still need Yang Linyi to block the E army for me. It is useless for us to step too fast..."

Since Yang Linyi promised to take back his Henan special ticket, Liu Jingxiao's printing machine just opens the tickets in a crazy way. This is the most profitable thing in the world, let alone

Shen Xianqiao, who rushed to attend the meeting, estimated: "This time I was paying for my old capital. The military expenditure alone reached 6.3 million. I wonder how many of these 25 million special tickets?"

Liu Jingxiao said: "Anyway, it's all Yang Linyi who pays the bill, and it has nothing to do with me... But first, I have to raise the currency value of this special ticket, and then spill money on the market..."

In addition to giving Yang Linyi two million yuan, Liu Jingxiao issued more than one million yuan, so the currency value is still stable. Shen Xianqiao has the ability to plunder, so she immediately thought of a solution: "Let Yang Linyi come forward for us..."

As expected, within two days, Yang Linyi paid a three-month land tax to his jurisdiction to make military expenses, and he ordered half of the cash and half of the special tickets. He immediately recovered a lot of special tickets. Liu Jingxiao sold a large number of bulky materials that could not be taken away on the spot, and the recycled part was handed over to Yang Linyi as military expenses. The price of the deposit was inexplicably dropped sharply, and one yuan special ticket could be offset by two yuan in savings at one time.

But this was not Liu Jingxiao's most vicious thought. He said to Ding Ning: "You didn't tell anyone about that train..."

Ding Ning said: "My cavalry is in charge day and night, and all the workers will pay Xianyang according to their original double wages, so I promise not to reveal any atmosphere..."

When Chen Xianqiao heard it, she had a faint smile on her face: "If you say this... you can do something big..."

Liu Jingxiao also said: "Ding Ning, you got this train this time... you earned everything back!"

Kaifeng

"I will laugh if I dream tonight..." This is Murong Fenghua's idea, Mu Qiongyin's idea is even more direct. She said directly: "We are sisters, for such a big business, don't cheat my sister..."

Murong Fenghua was still staying in the ocean of banknotes. He didn't seem to listen to Mu Qiongyin's words. The few boxes he opened were piled up into boxes of brand new Henan Provincial Banknotes. The entire car was filled with such carriages, and this carriage was just one of the entire trains.

It was only with local entrepreneurs like Murong Fenghua that she could bring such a pair of trains from Liu Jingxiao's enemy area to Kaifeng, but she seemed to not believe it. She grabbed a piece of paper money and looked carefully, and finally confirmed the result.

Real money! It is definitely real money! Even so, it can only be said that this is real money, completely printed by the printing factory!

But the value of the banknotes on this train is too terrifying. Murong Fenghua couldn't help but think of the number that was scared by Mu Qiongyin: "One hundred million... As for the fraction, it's better for us to give it..."

Fragrance? What does it mean to have a banknote of 1.6 million yuan?... A Central Division only has a monthly military salary of 140,000 yuan. Liu Jingxiao casually gave her a division's military salary of 1. But this is indeed just a fraction.

One hundred million yuan... Henan Provincial Banknotes have only issued 12 million yuan so far! Therefore, Murong Fenghua also needs to confirm: "Is it really 28 yuan?"

Mu Qiongyin nodded, and the benefits she gave up made her heart hurt for a long time. Murong Fenghua suddenly jumped up and shouted: "I finally have money!"

It would be good to have a printing machine. Li Fu used the frontline soldiers to reward the soldiers and directly loaded all the money printing equipment and workers on the train to Liuhe Station, and printed a large amount of money-saving on the spot. As a result, the Hubei army was rewarded and worked hard. When Ding Ning paid the train in Liuhe, Liu Jingxiao was not polite and drove at full speed to print a total of 100 million yuan of Henan provincial money to set up shopping supplies.

What businessmen always pursue is interests. With Murong Fenghua’s cooperation, Liu Jingxiao’s business is really smooth and full of flowers.

Within two days, everyone felt that the business of this year's New Year was too prosperous. After the beginning of the spring, the savings of banks actually increased significantly, and various securities were sold out. The prices of gold rose all the way. Several unknown trading companies were frantically purchasing supplies with money saving. Not only did the prices be a little higher, but it was even more enjoyable to pay, all of them were cash.

The business is really easy. What is particularly strange is that the foreign trade volume has reached its peak. Sixteen pairs of trains are sent out every day, far exceeding the limit of railway operation. It is loaded with countless materials and then sold them on the spot to become a huge ocean. More money is transferred to Liu Jingxiao's private account through transfer. As for how much money this account is, even Chen Xianqiao doesn't know, but he only knows that it is Liu Jingxiao's private money.

However, a week later, someone found something was wrong, and prices also rose wildly, and the buying trend began. Everyone tried their best to throw out banknotes and buy supplies. At this time, some of the non-staple foods that had been piled up in their houses were still trying hard to buy them.

Mu Qiongyin asked at this time: "Have we played too much?"

Murong Fenghua replied: "Making money is the bottom line..."

The next day, Du Li urgently summoned people from Henan banking industry to discuss countermeasures, including representatives of Murong Fenghua's small bank, so Murong Fenghua knew that the major banks would sell gold to collect and exchange for the provincial banknote tomorrow.

At this time, Murong Fenghua immediately smiled. All the gold thrown out the next day was eaten up by people at high prices, and major banks experienced bank runs. Then, Murong Fenghua's bank closed down the business the next morning for technical reasons, and then a more serious bank run occurred. In the afternoon of the same day, two banks had decided to stop coming.

Li Fuqiang calmed down and issued a declaration to the outside world, saying: "Although financial fluctuations are very strong, they are ultimately overcome by us..."

The Henan Times even titled: "Remain calm and deal with fluctuations..." The subtitle was: "The economic trend is good, and today's financial fluctuations are not difficult to overcome... Thinking about it in the future, you will find that today is ridiculous..."

But the disaster really came, and the bank run the next day became more serious. Banks closed one after another. In the end, no bank in Henan Province opened. Of course, except for Yang Linyi's jurisdiction, it was the territory of Henan's special tickets. However, Liu Jingxiao took this opportunity to start selling out a large number of printed Henan special tickets.

At this time, all the banknotes sent by Liu Jingxiao to Kaifeng were sold out, and she made 31 million yuan and made a fortune. Murong Fenghua also became a business giant overnight. Because she was in charge of the business, she bought short selling and sold it, so she naturally made more money.

Since she made enough money, Murong Fenghua has started to be a good person again. She squeezed out 5,000 foreign exchanges to help refugees when Shanghan was in a very difficult situation. Her bank even exchanged foreign exchanges for deposits of 3000 foreign exchanges.

Li Du was shockingly angry. This was not announcing the depreciation of the deposit of the capital! However, most banks could not even pay for these three discounts. After a long time of 20% discount and 5% exchange, they immediately changed to 10% discount and 5% exchange, and it was limited to small customers. The rising momentum of the deposit of the capital has been a thousand miles a day. In half a month, many wealthy families have become extremely poor, and have only made the most sympathetic Murong Fenghua in the newspaper. She has established the best image in society.

Mu Qiongyin was puzzled: "Why do you have to do this money?"

Murong Fenghua smiled but did not answer. At this time, Liu Jingxiao's troops had already returned to Shandong. As soon as he entered the Shandong territory, he called several brigade commanders: "I have something to tell you."
