The book continues from the previous chapter.
The provincial yamen changed from three divisions to four divisions. This adjustment was not a big one. It was definitely the first of its kind in the entire Da Feng Dynasty.
However, in Tan Junyan's view, he was directly promoted from a small business in the state capital to one of the four divisions. This can be regarded as a Kunpeng-level rise.
Can you not be happy?
"Why are you still standing there? Go on."
"Ah~~"
Looking at Tan Guangling who looked like a fool, Qi Yu couldn't help but laugh or cry. After shaking his head and smiling, he took the initiative to put the letter of appointment prepared in advance into his hand.
It said: Due to the needs of governance, the Qiongzhou Provincial Government established the "Qiongzhou Bank" to cope with the current situation... Tan Junyan, a subordinate in the jurisdiction, has always been honest and dedicated to the public, and has both political integrity and talent. He was appointed as the first president of the bank, and so on.
"Thank you for your trust, I will live up to your trust and work hard to fulfill this responsibility."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly!"
"..."
After the excitement subsided, Tan Junyan suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Qi, what name should we give our new type of banknotes? It can't be done. The banknotes will be called as they come, right?"
name?
Not to mention, this question really shocked Qi Yu.
Because he had never thought about this issue at all.
However, the name of the coin must be worthy of life. Not only must it be worthy of life, but it must also have a domineering name.
Think about it...
Perhaps because of deep thinking, Qi Yu subconsciously took out a cigarette and started smoking.
The last time he smoked was back in the days of matchlock ignition. He quit smoking directly after the flintlock was developed.
What surprised Tan Junyan the most was that the cigarette in Mr. Qi's hand was no longer in the shape of a hand-twisted trumpet, but in the shape of a small tube as thick as both ends. It was really weird.
Qi Yu naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.
Yes, how should the new currency be named?
Let’s start with its appearance.
The current first generation of new coins uses the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace as the material for its pattern. From a visual point of view, it has a strong Chinese style.
Yin Palace?
Yes, if it weren't for the fear of being charged with lese majeste, Qi Yu would have thought of printing the emperor's portrait on it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I'm going too far, saying it's a new currency.
Since it is full of Chinese style, how about calling it 'Huayuan'?
Well, not very good, it doesn’t sound domineering enough...
Silently, half a stick of incense passed by quietly.
Suddenly, Qi Yu blew out the last smoke ring, strangled the cigarette butt in his hand, and said solemnly: "The name of the new currency is - Asian dollar!"
What? Asian dollar?
The word "yuan" is easy to understand. It is the basic unit of the new currency. However, what does the word "ya" mean?
Thinking of this, Tan Junyan couldn't help but scratch his head and fell into confusion.
Oh...I see.
"Ya" means second best, implying humility. For example, words such as Yafu, Yakui, and Yayu all have this meaning.
It is not difficult to see from this character that Mr. Qi's attitude towards life is very humble, and he actually voluntarily submitted to "Ya". As for the so-called leader, he is naturally the king of our temple.
How humble! How humble!
Tan Junyan didn't know that Lord Qi's intention was exactly the opposite. The Asia he mentioned generally referred to the whole of Asia, and the hegemony in it was like a lofty cloud.
However, how many people can really understand his broad sentiments?
Perhaps, in the entire Dafeng Kingdom, Su Liu is the only one who knows the true meaning.
Speaking of Queen Su, we have to mention her skills as a monarch.
This move she used was quite subtle.
As far as the emperor was concerned, whenever he encountered unresolved troubles, he would involuntarily come to her.
That's it tonight.
After the Holy Emperor hurriedly finished the imperial meal, he came to Kunning Palace with a frown on his face and thoughtfully. As soon as he entered, he sat down there and continued his hard thinking.
At this time, the considerate Queen Su quickly served tribute tea and waited quietly aside.
After a long time, the emperor suddenly came to his senses, smiled at her and asked, "Zitong, why didn't you say anything? Just ask me why I'm worried?"
The queen smiled politely and replied: "If your majesty wants to say something, why bother waiting for my concubine to ask?"
Gee, that’s great.
This aspect of her was much better than those of other concubines who deliberately inquired.
Then talk to her?
good!
After making the decision, the emperor sighed softly,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Said: "Today, Qi Yu from Nanyang sent an urgent message of eight hundred miles. He reported that Fujian Governor Gao Ming, Yue Sixian, Wei Zeng and others were colluding together. They not only engaged in smuggling business, but also privately recruited armed personnel to cultivate individuals. Power! Oh, this matter really worries me."
The queen smiled and nodded, then continued to listen.
The emperor continued: "This matter is nothing at all. It's just a matter of business. But what really bothers me is that this matter involves the death of the Empress Dowager. You think, if we really let Dali Temple try it, how can it be done? Aren’t you going to cause criticism again?”
Regarding the death of the Empress Dowager, it took a lot of effort to suppress it. If it is mentioned in public again, there is no guarantee that something new will be revealed.
Even, the waves started to rise again.
Alas, no matter how you say it, murdering your great-aunt is a bad thing that damages your reputation. Therefore, the best outcome is to not see the light or die in the long history.
You must know that the current emperor is a leader who cherishes his "feathers" very much. He is afraid that his reputation will be stained. If he loses his moral character, how can he be granted the title of Zen in the future?
Therefore, this matter must be suppressed.
However, the reality is not what you want.
Because, Yin Jun openly opened fire in the court.
What made the emperor even more dissatisfied was that he actually enlisted a group of colleagues to join hands in the impeachment, making the matter deafening and inciting, and it almost went on for three days.
Tell me, what is this?
On the surface, the queen was listening attentively, but in her heart she was secretly thinking of countermeasures.
In her opinion, Yue Si had impeached her before, so she couldn't let him go. In addition, Qi Yu and she had an agreement to help each other. In other words, his enemy was her enemy. How could he not help?
However, this kind of favor cannot be revealed too obviously, otherwise, it may arouse His Majesty's suspicion.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the emperor ask: "In Zi Tong's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
The queen's eyes flashed and she replied with a smile: "It is not difficult to deal with this matter! Your Majesty can perfunctory the ministers and say that he will call a few of them into the palace to defend themselves. On the other hand, he can use oral instructions to coax Gao Ming, Yue Si came to Beijing to take up his post first. When they arrive at the feet of the Emperor, they can dispatch internal guards to eliminate them. As long as the main culprit is dead, Dali Temple will not be able to file a case."
Well, what a good idea!
The emperor's face relaxed and he smiled again.
