"Ala, will Allah want to exchange some money? "

The woman seemed a little scared. After all, it was the first time that she faced so many big-headed soldiers alone and had a high-ranking official, so she hesitated a little.

"Success, of course!"

Sun Renjun waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you hand over this clock to the soldier. He is responsible for registering... After registering, you will take the note and go to that room. Yes, that purple house to exchange for money!"

Sun Renjun was very kind, and his murderous aura disappeared from the past. He naturally knew that His Majesty Hao might have been paying attention to his performance in a high-rise building. He had already disappointed him once. This time, he had to exchange items, so he had to do beautiful things to win back his score.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, Nongfa!" The woman thanked Sun Renjun thankfully, and then walked towards the registered table with a look of hope. At this moment, she couldn't even care about the child's constant crying in her arms.

The registration was completed quickly, and the woman held the note, shook her wide hips, and ran quickly towards the purple house.

But when she received the money, she cried out: "What kind of money is this? Why, why is it not silver?"

It turned out that what she got was a stack of paper, or to be precise, a stack of paper money.

"This is a dragon coin, it's very valuable!"

The staff responsible for exchanging coins explained to the woman very responsibly.

"Ala, Ala doesn't want these banknotes. Can you give them money? "The woman asked with bitter face and asked.

"Sorry, we can't give the money, we can only give dragon coins!" The exchange staff is doing their business, and there is no possibility of any consent.

"Hey, why are you like this..."

The woman was very disappointed. When she was disappointed, she slapped her crying child. But who knew that the unlucky child cried even harder.

A kind warrior next to him reminded: "Auntie, this is the dragon coin. It is the currency of the Alchemy Kingdom. Many novel commodities in Shanghai can only be purchased with dragon coin. They are very popular! For example, beautiful clothes from the United States, or fragrant soap, exquisite watches, and medicines with magical effects..."

"But no such. Allah needs it!"

The woman had a bitter face: "Ala just wants to buy a few bags of rice with some silver, yes, and a few kilograms of pork to go back."

Above the tall building, Long Hao looked at the "home search operation" that was running smoothly in the concession, and couldn't help but nodded secretly: These Shanghai citizens were still relatively rational, and they robbed randomly as soon as they entered. Or took the opportunity to hurt people! Well, Sun Renjun sent some soldiers to ambush the concession, and once they found someone who was committing evil deeds, they would deal with it on the spot. It's a good thing, this is done very well!

Xiyu interrupted at this time and said, "Young Master, you said they found that they exchanged for our dragon coins. Wouldn't they be unhappy?"

Long Hao smiled and said, "How could he not be happy? Haha, the dragon coins are now more than US dollars. One-yuan dragon coins can be exchanged for a little 2 dollar! They have taken a big advantage when using these things to exchange for dragon coins!"

"But they don't know the benefits of dragon coins. I think they must still prefer silver."

Xiao Ke also spoke, with a little worried in his words.

She was afraid that she would be thankless. Using dragon coins to exchange these things would easily cause bad things to do. She obviously paid a lot, but what she got was the complaints of Shanghai citizens.

It's not easy to provide money directly, but it's time.

"It's okay."

Long Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Now there is a black market in Shanghai that specializes in exchange for dragon coins. One yuan of dragon coins can be exchanged for about one or two or three cents of silver! Those soldiers will give guidance to these citizens."

"Only one or two or three cents?"

The drizzle covered his mouth and said in surprise: "A dollar can be exchanged for one or six cents of silver. This black market is really dark. The big profit has flowed to it! Master, copy it!"

"What are you copying? Just talk nonsense!"

Long Hao laughed and pointed at the person next to him: "This black market is also ours. Long Er, let's introduce to these two girls the benefits of using dragon coins to exchange for things that were moved out of the concession!"

The person Long Hao refers to is young and wearing the top-level high-end clothing. He saluted Long Hao with proper manners and elegant and pleasing to the eyes. He is Long Er, one of the four successor candidates.

Long Er has been rooted in Shanghai for more than half a year and has made a way with money. In fact, he has spread his sphere of influence to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and even the land of Qi and Lu... He is now one of the top upper-class people in this area and has a very good relationship with many Qing court officials.

The factories opened by Longer and the roads built have benefited a lot of villages and towns around Shanghai.

Many rural people who farmed land came out to build roads, because the daily wage of working roads was almost worth their monthly income.

Who wouldn't ignore such a good thing?

Okay, let’s put aside Long Er’s achievements first, let’s listen to his reason for using Dragon Coins as a exchange.

First, the issuance of dragon coins is to take this opportunity to allow Shanghai citizens to accept dragon coins, because no matter how many rural people Long Er has hired to build roads in the past few months, they require a settlement of wages with silver. In this way, the economic pressure on Long Er is actually quite high, because the Alchemy Kingdom uses silver to exchange gold for silver, and the exchange exchange difference itself is a huge expense.

Although Long Er has also opened many daily necessities stores around Shanghai that are settled with Long coins, using discounts to attract customers, if local residents truly recognize and go in for consumption, it still requires a guiding process and time accumulation.

Second, distributing Dragon Coins is also to reduce the economic pressure on Long Hao to accept the concession items. Although the concession is not big, there are quite a lot of good things that are valuable in it. If you want a fair acquisition of real money and silver, the cost will definitely be quite large. If you pay all of it with silver, then Long Er's wallet will be deflated immediately and the capital chain will be broken immediately.

Dragon coins can be printed by yourself, and it is no problem to send as much as you want, as long as you have sufficient supplies here.

In addition, the existence of the exchange black market can also allow Long Er to earn a considerable price difference.

To sum up two points, Long Er will strongly advocate borrowing this occasion and 'selling' dragon coins.

"So that's it. I think this is a good start. It is very beneficial for our development to accept the dragon coins and regard the dragon coins as foreigners' coins. It is very beneficial for our development!"

Ke Mitong saw it thoroughly and nodded repeatedly while listening.

"Not only that, when the young master found out, he gave me a trick. I think that in the future, the dragon coins will be accepted by more people!" Long Er said again, looking at Long Hao with admiration.

"That's not called a suggestion. It's just a normal guide."

Faced with this invisible flattery, Long Hao waved his hand indifferently and smiled lightly: "Whether this move can work, it depends on whether our strength is strong or not!"

It turns out that Long Hao’s suggestion was: Starting today, a consumption record system will be established in Alchemy stores (including stores, shops, etc.) in China. Whenever someone comes to the store to use dragon coins to buy things and consumption services, then after registering the identity, he will open an account that specializes in recording contribution points.

For example, if you spend a lot of dragon coins, your contribution points will increase by one!

When the Alchemy Kingdom becomes stronger and stronger, the international status becomes higher and higher, the benefits inside become better and better. It will attract more people to become citizens of the Alchemy Kingdom, then the dragon coins will truly be unimpeded on the land of China.

...After a day, the concession was basically emptied. Thinking about it, tens of thousands of citizens flocked in, it would be like a mouse entering the granary. It would be strange if it didn't emptied it!

In such a huge concession, there are only empty shelves of houses left.

During the process of citizens robbing and transporting, Long Hao also had some bad taste. He ordered people to bring out the detained foreigners and let them witness the scene of their shops and residences being looted on the three-story building.

Listening to the wailing and cursing of foreigners. Bathing in the sun and closing your eyes to rest is also a pleasing thing...

The day of the 9th day passed, and the opening of the concession came to an end. According to subsequent statistics, more than 30,000 Shanghai citizens exchanged dragon coins on the black market, and more than 90% of them were complaining while looking for the black market, and all of these dragon coins were exchanged for silver or gold.

And later, when I heard that the dragon coin consumption records could accumulate into contributions from the Alchemy Kingdom, how many of them beat their feet and stamped their chests and regretted them, it was not clear...

Well, the matter in Shanghai has come to an end. At this moment, nearly a week has passed since Shanghai's fall. Struggles around the world have more or less recovered from the shock and have begun to prepare countermeasures or plan a counterattack.

Let us appreciate the...movement selection of these highlights one by one.

Let’s talk about China first, and Beijing, so there is no need to talk about it. Cixi, Guangxu and their friends were all shocked when they heard the “Great Changes in Jiangnan” (the title of the Qing court for this incident).

Empress Dowager Cixi immediately remembered the burning of the Old Summer Palace back then. She didn't care about preparing for the 60th birthday. She began to secretly order her confidant to clean up her fines and be ready to go out of the capital to avoid disaster at any time.

Cixi was so panicked, which was naturally a typical case of being bitten by a snake. But the blessing of her panickedness, the Qing Dynasty was in a state of paralysis for a while. Ministers from all sides, Hunan, Anhui, Huai and Hebei, were arguing endlessly, but they could not come up with a unified tone to the outside world.

Liu Kunyi, the minister, was punished by tied back to Beijing. After the trial, he was skinned and given to the British to relieve the anger of the other party.

Some ministers support Liu Kunyi. For example, our old man Zhang Zhidong, he believes that Liu Kunyi was not defeated and lost power and lost land when facing the attacks of the British, which was a battle for face for the Qing Dynasty. He saved Nanjing City, which was also a great achievement. If he could live a punishment and reward, he would never lose the hearts of the heroes.

There wasn't even a perfunctory telegram feedback!

This, this is clearly a contempt for Edward VII's identity as a king!

Faced with such a dilemma, Edward VII would naturally think of whether Long Hao's previous telegram statement in Shanghai gave some hints to those naval generals who were loyal to the queen? They wanted to accumulate strength and use overseas naval fleets to help Queen Victoria restore it?

To sum up, although Edward VII wanted to teleport to Shanghai immediately and beat Long Hao and Liu Kun, he could not do anything about the order.

Therefore, he could only pretend to be deaf and not express his opinions on this matter for the time being, so as not to cause the rebound of the Far East Fleet. On the other hand, he carefully urged Emperor William II to quickly resolve the two allies he betrayed, first return a peace on the European continent, and then use this reputation to combed the domestic situation well, eliminate dissidents, promote confidants, and then free up his hands to settle the score with Long Hao from East Asia.

This is the reality of the UK. Even the king is busy, so how could he have the time to launch a substantial attack on Long Hao?

As for why the Far East Fleet turned a deaf ear to Edward VII's orders... In fact, the situation was not as serious as Edward VII imagined.

Speaking of which, although the Far East Fleet was arranged by Queen Victoria in the Far East, they are not the Queen's loyalty. No matter who it is, as long as the British royal family is on the throne of the king and the elections that have produced a cabinet are legal, the Far East Fleet will not slander the orders from the British Isles.

The commander-in-chief of the Far East Fleet, Li Charlie, still hates Long Hao very much. When he heard that his branch, that is, the fleet stationed in the inland sea of ​​China, was bullied, he immediately sent four battleships to lead his troops and headed north from his garrison in Southeast Asia to rush for reinforcements.

The time of this reinforcement was before Edward VII sent a telegram.

Unfortunately, this time difference gave the long-dormand deputy commander Ferrymante the chance.

A chance to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix and replace it!

The fleet led by Charlie Lee was ambushed in the waters south of Taiwan and north of Luzon Island. Four battleships and eleven auxiliary ships were all sunk, and they died exactly the same as the previous American warships and the six battleships of Ferrymant.

In short, it is weird, fast, and has no power to fight back!

The arrogant Charlie Lee, due to lack of intelligence, did not know that Long Hao's secret weapon submarine was defeated, and it was not unfair to suffer this defeat.

Then, the time for the "traitor" Ferrymant, who kept a low profile, to perform on stage. He first angrily scolded Lee Charlie's "Unidentified Fleet" to be despicable and shameful, and then put the suspect target on Spain.
Chapter completed!
