After having dinner with Xingxuan Dayuanjun, Wang Yi and Jin Yun'er left. Yun'er chattered all the way, obviously very excited about seeing the big guys of his country. Later, the two returned to Ningdao, and Chen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia had not returned yet. Wang Yi suddenly remembered that a few students from Da Shang joined forces to drive a bicycle shop two days ago, and they brought a bicycle. This car is very similar to the bicycles of the later generations, very tall and strong.

Kim Yoona watched Wang Yi fiddling with the bicycle, she was obviously curious.[bsp;   "Make a bet?"

"What?" Jin Yuner frowned, wondering why Wang Yi was betting on things with her.

Wang Yi was a little disappointed. This was a casual talk from later generations, but it was obvious that he couldn't fiddle with this little girl.

"Sir, do you really want to ride these two wheels?" Jin Yuner was very curious about this, and she probably thought that Wang Yi was crazy.

"I not only want to ride a bike, but I can also take you with me." Wang Yi was acupunctured the tire, and he invented the air tube.

The girl instinctively showed fear, but since Wang Yi said that, she dared not ignore him.

This bicycle is actually very heavy, but it looks very strong. Nowadays, aluminum is very expensive and naturally cannot be used on bicycles. The carbon fiber material has not been invented yet, so Wang Yi can also accept the current weight.

This car is not much different from the cars of later generations. The accessories that should have been installed under the guidance of Wang Yi. The whole car was about 100 silver dollars, which was equivalent to the salary of an ordinary person for half a year. It was not cheap, but it was a very convenient transportation tool after all. In addition to the progress of the Northeast road project in recent years, some towns have begun to try to use Banyou Road. In addition to the lack of signal lights, it has some appearances like later generations.

When Kim Yoona got on the back seat of Wang Yi's bicycle, she was so scared that she hugged Wang Yi's slim waist tightly... Well, it felt pretty good. As she gradually got used to the speed of the bicycle, Kim Yoona was no longer afraid. The strange things on these two wheels ran much smoother than she thought. Later, Wang first taught her to ride a bicycle, and the two of them had fun. The little girl's screams and laughter spread far away.

Some servants on Ning Island came over curiously when they saw Wang Yi and Jin Yuner having fun. They knew Wang Yi's temper, they were amiable and had no airs. They often asked a few gardeners or cooks to play chess together for no reason, so the servants treated Wang Yi more as a junior, so they were not out of sight.

Butler Fran was also watching. He had seen bicycles. This thing had been invented for many years and was sold in Shanghai as a toy. However, it was the first time to see a bicycle with the same size as the front and rear wheels, and it could be so fast.

"You guys come here too." After taking Kim Yoona around the island, Wang Yi wisely handed over the bicycle out, and then taught everyone how to ride a bicycle.

"Fran, what do you think?"

"It's pretty good, but I don't ride very steadily."

“Just practice it.”

"Yes, master, I think so too."

"Don't you have a son? It's called Sinke, right?" Wang Yi suddenly remembered something. "Now is a groom on the island?"

"Yes, may the gentleman want to help him arrange his job? He has studied but he is not very good at Chinese."

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "That's right. I think the sales will be good after the bicycle is mass-produced. If your son wants, I can help him contact my students. If you talk, maybe he can get the sales rights in Europe. Then, he will open a bicycle factory in the UK and sell it in Europe, and the income should be considerable."

Fran was immediately excited when he heard this.

"Of course, everything depends on your son's own thoughts."

Fran was very excited. He knew that Wang Yi did this for his sake, so he naturally said a lot of words of gratitude, thanking him very much.

That night, Wang Yi did not have free time. Yang Qiuxing visited the door, and there were 21 people from the Political Bureau, ministers of various departments, as well as the Navy Commander Shang Yi, and the Air Force Commander Zhao Ziguang.

"Zhao Ningxia is now busy pacifying the domestic situation in North Korea, and the publicity work for joining the autonomous region has also begun. With Xi Benxiong and Kim Shie-young there, there shouldn't be much problem." Chu Yuan introduced the situation in North Korea.

"There is one thing that can be put on the agenda now, which is the establishment of a naval and air force base on Jeju Island." Wang Yi suggested at this time.

Finance Minister Fang Ziqiao frowned a little and said, "Sir, Jeju Island's status is of course important, but there are too many projects started in the autonomous region this year. Now we are still responsible for the war between the Southeast region and the Vietnamese French. Even if there are large merchants to provide funds, the autonomous region's finances are still a little short of money."

Wang Yi thought about it, Fang Ziqiao's words were not unreasonable. The north has been fighting, and the south has not stopped now. North Korea will build a division this year, and in addition to the expenses of various construction projects within the autonomous region, it is no wonder Fang Ziqiao was unhappy.

"I'll pay this money." Wang Yi said at this time.

Yang Qiuxing was happy and said, "It's still generous to you, sir!"

However, Fang Ziqiao was still not very happy and advised: "Sir, can the war in the south be controlled? Our territory has expanded too quickly in the past two years. Starting this year, the remaining areas in Fengtian have also officially joined the autonomous region. In the second half of the year, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and North Korea will be the next year. If we don't have a period of rest and rest, we may be likely to go bankrupt."

Several other ministers also had the same opinion. The Northeast economy is now prosperous, but it was initially smaller. Now, as the controlled territory suddenly increases, the final outcome of becoming a fat man in one bite is likely to kill himself.

Wang Yi turned his face and looked at Nie Xiong and said, "How are you preparing for the matter you discussed before?"

Nie Xiong is the general manager of Dashang Bank and the general manager of Northeast Central Bank.

"The survey has been completed and can be implemented."

Wang Yi glanced at Li Yuzhen beside him and said, "Then let's do it as soon as possible, Yuzhen, you can go and help."

“Yes, Chairman.”

"Nie Xiong, let me tell you about our plan."

"yes!"

The plan that Wang Yi mentioned is the issuance plan of paper money. Paper money is a currency symbol and does not have value in itself. It sounds like a circulating bond. Although there were so-called official bills and Qing Dynasty treasure bills in this era, it is very different from paper money in the modern sense.

Nie Xiong's secretary took a lot of information and distributed it to everyone in the house. After Nie Xiong introduced it. After he finished speaking, the people in the house began to ask questions.

"We are planning to first distribute and distribute the money in the government, military and business systems in the form of wages, and then expand it to the entire society. After several years, we will gradually replace the application of silver dollars."

"What about the external areas?" asked Tong Yuan, a member of the Political Bureau.

“Same step.”

"I'm afraid there will be difficulties!" Another member of the Political Bureau, Zhang Ruixing, shook his head. "After all, the people only recognize silver and copper coins now. It is not easy for them to change their ideas. If external reforms proceed too quickly, Dashang Bank's other regional businesses will be greatly hit."

Nie Xiong said at this time: "The benefits of paper money cannot be ignored. The more dense the economy of our Northeast Autonomous Region has exchanged with other regions of the country and the closer the connection, the smoother our banknote plan will be implemented. After all, paper money is related to the confidence of the people. As long as everyone gradually accepts the concept that paper money is money, all problems will be solved. Later, we will have more means to deal with various financial events that may occur in the future. If we do not reform, the outflow of our silver dollars now will be too large, which will have a very serious burden on our banks. Moreover, the silver dollars themselves are very easy to be imitated. In contrast, our banknote anti-counterfeiting technology is unique in the world and has unique advantages in this regard."

The issuance of paper money cannot be promoted. The Northeast Autonomous Region also needs to go through a series of preparations. The initial banknotes are inevitable and must have the function of gold and silver exchange vouchers. Simply put, it is to use paper money to exchange gold and silver for money to return to gold and silver.

The meeting lasted until late at night, and most of the people stayed on Ning Island to rest and left the next day.

Sa Zhenbing led the fleet to Dashang's naval base in Okinawa and was replenishing supplies. In addition to the flagship Anshen battleship of 13,000 tons, he also had a cruiser Tianquan, the captain was Lu Yun, Sa Zhenbing's classmate. Two thousand-ton frigates and six transport supply ships, with two thousand Marine officers and soldiers on it. Liu Buchan brought some Beiyang sailors and also helped on the ship, but now he was wearing the uniforms of the Dashang Naval Insurance Team.

Sa Zhenbing was drinking tea and chatting with Liu Buchan at the port. They will rest in Okinawa for a few days. The scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. At least Liu Buchan likes it very much.

"I didn't expect you to build a naval base in Ryukyu." Liu Buchan said enviously.

"Wrong, the agreement we reached with Japan was that the Hokkien and Ryukyu would not be stationed. This is just a port, and we just stop here temporarily." Sa Zhenbing corrected with a smile.

Liu Buchan found it funny, looked around and said, "Isn't this called a military port?"

Dashang's own cruisers docked here, and there were four 2,000-ton destroyers. Liu Buchan had seen a real Dashang Navy, which was much faster than his own coal-burning ships.

"Can you Japanese feel at ease like this?"

"Why should we reassure them? Is our chairman such a good person?" Sa Zhenbing laughed. "A while ago, Yan Jidao took the fleet to the Kagoshima area of ​​Kyushu, Japan. He scared the Japanese so much that he immediately asked us about the situation in the Japanese consulate. He didn't dare to say a word of protest. Do you know what Lao Yan said in the end?"

“How to say it?”

"have a look."

"You are so bad!" Liu Buchan smiled and said with a smile. "By the way, where is Lao Yan now?"

"I guess I've arrived in Sanya."

"I've never heard of Sanya."

"In southern Qiongzhou, Lao Yan said that the scenery there is good. When the chairman taught us another class, he said that he would go over and take a look if he had the chance."

Liu Buchan poured himself a cup of tea, relaxed his body, and smiled and said, "You are now in the south, Keelung and Kaohsiung in Taiwan, and Sanya in Qiongzhou."

"There will be more in the future." Sa Zhenbing's expression is intriguing. "Asia is the Asia of the Qing Dynasty, and it seems that the great powers should understand this."

"Da Qing?" Liu Buchan thought in his heart, "I'm afraid it's Da Shang."

In March 1885, after the French army lifted the siege of Xuan Guang, they stayed at Xuan Guang with the First Brigade, and the remaining troops retreated to Duanxiong, Hanoi and other places.

When the news came back to France, Prime Minister Rufeli changed his low-keyness after being wiped out by the Da Shangshe Fleet, and his voice became louder again. France's glory reappeared, and the French public was greatly encouraged. Paris swept away the haze that night and cared all night.

However, the Minister of Navy Colonial Pei Long was not in such a good mood. The destruction of the lonely fleet increased the pressure on his shoulders. Now in Africa, France is restrained by Britain. If Germany had not wanted Britain to dominate, France would have had a hard time. The attack on Madagascar is still continuing, the opponent's resistance is very fierce, and the equipment is becoming more and more advanced. France has lost more than 300 people there, and the fleet has had to temporarily evacuate.

"Is it because the British intervened? Didn't they prepare for a war with the Boers in southern Africa?" Pei Long sat at his desk, frowned into a knot. Instead, his eyes fell on Vietnam, and the situation there was even more mess. Pei Long dared not be interested in land wars. For the French, Vietnam was far away and could become a colony relying on the strength of the navy. But now the navy is only able to barely protect itself. Various information from the information shown. The Great Merchant Fleet is very terrifying, with steel armored warships above 10,000 tons, and the firepower is very fierce. There are also three cruisers of nearly 10,000 tons. In addition to the insufficient caliber of the gun, it is similar to the current warships in France.

"These bastards!"

Pei Long felt a little breathless, so he stood up, walked to the window covering the curtains, looked at the cheering crowd on the street below, and shook his head secretly.

"Those idiots in the government are now starting to get short of their losses in the Far East. The Vietnamese Navy has requested an additional fleet. The problem is that the fleet that Gu Ba took away before is the largest scale that can be provided. According to the size of the large merchant fleet, the tonnage... can we really resist it?"

In mid-March 1885, Polyer began to attack the Yunnan Army on both sides of the Honghe River west of Xinghua, with the purpose of further improving the French army's situation on the western front of Tonkin and ensuring that the main force continues to develop its attack on the eastern front. Cen Yuying obtained this information and ordered Qin Xiugang's troops to strictly guard the key points on both sides of the Honghe River such as Xiahe, Qingbo, Jinxi, etc., and ordered more than a thousand troops of the Yunnan peasant army, including Zhuchun, Tao Mei and other troops, and a part of the Vietnamese rebel army to jointly defend the village east of Lintao Prefecture with the Yunnan Army Li Yingzhen's troops, and Liu Yongfu led the Black Banner Army to Lintao.

After finally calming down for more than ten days of war, the beginning of the show was still kicked off again.
