    Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were hiding in the backyard of the bank, anxiously waiting for the news.

    Although Fang Jifan is very loyal, it is not necessarily true that these damn sailors are loyal.

    I have said so many tear-jerking words today, and I have done enough to save my face.

    But what if these damn sailors and sailors are so desperate for money that they won¡¯t let go until they see real money?

    "Then it's really a sin. So many copper plates, the paper used for the design, and the craftsmen who printed it were all in vain.

    Without the gold and silver of these sailors as reserves, Fang Jifan would not dare to open a bank.

    In this era, the financial system is particularly fragile. Any rumor may cause a run. To establish credit, you must survive many runs and build credit.

    To put it bluntly, no matter how good your reputation is, it is not worth the real money in stock.

    But once the real money is exchanged for gold and silver notes by the sailors, then the bank will have a firm foothold.

    In the future, Fang Jifan can even require merchants to use gold and silver tickets to purchase glass and anthracite from Xishan, and gold and silver tickets to trade woolen yarn from Xishan. These are best-selling products, and merchants like them, as long as they buy them.  If you purchase goods, you won¡¯t have to worry about sales.

    After all, there is only one store in the world and no other branches.

    This will force a large number of merchants to go around to exchange gold and silver tickets. When merchants need gold and silver tickets to circulate, some commercial activities can be facilitated through gold and silver tickets. Once people are convinced  The credibility of gold and silver tickets confirms that the piece of paper in your hand can be redeemed at any time. More and more people will accept this simple and convenient currency.

    After waiting for more than half an hour, Wang Jinyuan hurried to the backyard. His mouth was dry and he was sweating profusely. When he saw the prince and Fang Jifan, he had no time to salute. Instead, he panted heavily, poured a sip of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp: "Your Highness  , Master, it¡¯s all right, the gold and silver notes released are worth 9,350,000 taels, and the rest were all cashed in by the sailors and sailors.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao was happy.

    In fact, he doesn¡¯t understand finance.

    He may not know what the promotion of gold and silver tickets means, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't care, he enjoys the pleasure of success.

    Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh: "Our soldiers and civilians are so kind."

    This year¡¯s leeks are reallyeasy to cut.

    The big thing has been decided, and the next step is to start operations. As long as you guarantee your credit and can deal with all kinds of rumors, gold and silver tickets, sooner or later it will become more and more popular.

    But at this moment, someone came hurriedly from outside: "Your Highness, the Captain, the British Duke came with an order to see His Highness and the Captain."

    Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other. They knew Zhang Mao's intention and were both happy. Zhu Houzhao said with a lively expression, "Let's go and take a look."

    When he arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, the British duke had a long face and waited anxiously.

    He is very busy. He has to get up early tomorrow morning to take a shower and change clothes. He has no time to linger here.

    I saw the prince and Fang Jifan coming.

    Zhang Mao first saluted Zhu Houzhao: "I have met His Highness."

    Fang Jifan saluted Zhang Mao: "I have met Shibo."

    Zhang Mao was inconvenienced in front of the prince and forced a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, on your Majesty's order, I have come to thoroughly investigate the explosion of the artillery in Wang Gong Factory." As he said that, he took out the blueprint: "This blueprint, but  Nephew Fang Xian must have donated it."

    Fang Jifan said: "Yes."

    Zhang Mao said: "After the donation, Wang Gongchang built the artillery according to the drawings, but the barrel exploded, which aroused suspicion in the capital. All civil and military officials looked sideways. The consequences were very serious."

    The implication of this is to tell Fang Jifan to calm down in the future and don't cause trouble.

    Fang Jifan said: "Uncle Shi, there is nothing wrong with my nephew's drawings. My nephew can guarantee it with his own head."

    "" Zhang Mao doesn't like people who argue, but Fang Jifan has always been a bully, and he is used to it.

    Zhang Mao stroked his beard: "Well, that's what I came for. I heard that a cannon was also cast in Xishan. It was cast according to the drawings. Your Majesty specially ordered me to come here to have a look."

    He said it in an understatement.

    But he looked a bit disbelieving.

    Speaking of artillery, Zhang Mao can be regarded as an old expert.  When his father was still alive, Zhang Mao grew up in a military camp. The most powerful weapon of the Ming army was artillery. It is said that when Zhang Mao was still a baby, his father Zhang Fu would alsoTherefore, the term "hundred-forged steel" came into being. This thousand-forged steel actually describes this method of making steel.

    But the problem is that if you are making swords, there is no problem using this method, but it is different when making cannons. A cannon weighs thousands of kilograms. Is it true that such a large amount of work cannot be completed after repeated hammering?

    Especially in recent years, as armaments have been slackened, this kind of hundred-forged steel has become increasingly rare. Most of the artillery is made of ordinary steel, because there is air in the steel. Over time, bubbles will form.  It is hollow, and the gun body is also pitted, which shows the strength of the gun barrel.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, the strength is not enough, you can use thickness to make it up. In order to prevent the fragile barrel from being unable to withstand the impact of the gunpowder explosion in the barrel, so as not to explode the barrel, the craftsmen invented a very clever way to continuously strengthen it.  The thickness of the barrel is like a pile of iron lumps. It doesn't matter what kind of gunpowder it is, just blow up the barrel and try it.

    Zhang Mao was used to the fact that artillery pieces were bumpy and bumpy. When he knocked it, there was still a slight hollow sound inside. Artillery pieces with such a smooth surface were rare.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
