Chapter 429 Eventful Autumn

After locking the box again, Xie Liuyun and Sheng Qingfeng each put the notebooks they used to take class notes on their desks in their backpacks.

After inspecting the classroom again, several people confirmed with each other that except for tables and chairs, not even a piece of paper was left in the classroom.

Shang Baifeng even more carefully saw some forensic terms written on the blackboard in the classroom. He immediately stepped forward and wiped the blackboard clean with a blackboard eraser, leaving no trace.

I saw everyone making the same choice and taking their class notes with them.

Yong Ming knew that this was because they wanted to seize the time to review and study what they had learned in the past two days between tasks.

Yong Ming was really happy after seeing their race against time.

Under the leadership of Yong Ming, they left the classroom and walked out of the courtyard towards the parking lot on the west side of Yong's house.

Because the two courtyards they used for training and as dormitories were located in the Yong family's inner house, they didn't encounter anyone after walking along the winding alley for a while.

Not long after, they arrived at the parking lot, where Quan Yong was carefully wiping Yong Ming's car with his head down.

Quanwen stood aside quietly and did not help.

This is not to say that the relationship between Quanwen and Quan Yong is not good. Even when he has nothing to do, he does not help Quan Yong who is always doing things.

It's their responsibilities and they are not allowed to interfere in each other's affairs.

Every time Yong Ming needs to go out for a few days, the two of them, as his personal attendants responsible for Yong Ming's confidential and administrative matters respectively, must make preparations for Yong Ming's trip within the scope of their responsibilities.

In addition to Yong Ming's personal clothes and toiletries, the satchel Quan Wen carried also contained Yong Ming's camera, notepad and relevant documents.

In his left hand, he held Yong Ming's document bag, which contained banknotes and silver dollars separated according to their value.

Among them, 10,000 yuan in banknotes were used to pay for Yong Ming's various expenses while away from home.

There was another two hundred silver dollars. Considering the weight, Quanwen did not receive more silver dollars from his fifth uncle Shizheng.

During the Republic of China, the value of silver dollars issued and circulated by the central government of the Republic of China was higher than the paper currency issued by the government.

With the same face value of one dollar, the purchasing power of silver dollars is much stronger than that of banknotes.

For example, a one dollar note can buy at most four meat buns or five steamed buns.

If you buy it with one silver dollar, you can buy five meat buns or seven steamed buns.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, used to prove that the credibility and purchasing power of silver dollars in society are much higher than paper currencies.

Of course, such silver coins were limited to those produced and issued by the central government of the Republic of China at that time, rather than those produced and issued by the local warlords entrenched in various provinces at that time for the purpose of condensing private wealth and achieving control over the political and economic purposes within their sphere of influence.

Silver dollar.

First of all, such silver coins issued by local governments not only cannot be circulated and used nationwide, but also cannot be circulated throughout the territory even within their own provinces or within the sphere of influence of warlords because of their impure texture.

What's more, frictions and battles often break out between warlords in various places to compete for territory, which will cause the warlords' power to wax and wane, and their sphere of influence is not fixed.

This situation, especially in the border areas of warlord forces, is even more obvious. Today you retreat while I advance, and tomorrow I advance and you retreat.

What Quanwen received from Yong Ming were banknotes and silver dollars produced and issued by the central government of the Republic of China. Of course, he could only receive such currency.

Because the Yong family has always only used currency issued uniformly by the state, the currency issued by the local government of the Republic of China, whether it is banknotes or coins, is not accepted and used.

Such a large family resisted and refused to use the currency it produced and issued. As a local warlord force in Shandong at that time, it could not be tolerated.

However, after getting to know the situation of the Yong family that has lived in Anqiu for generations, and measuring the overall strength of the Yong family, they have always been arrogant and domineering warlords, so they became concerned about the fact that the Yong family does not use their own currency.

It's about "turning one eye or closing one eye" and ignoring it.

For such a nationwide business operation, a large number of tribesmen are scattered throughout the country. Even the tribesmen living in Anqiu County are scattered throughout the county and are not completely gathered together.

.

If we want to send troops to suppress them in order to force the Yong clan to accept the currency they issue, we will undoubtedly have to fight a big battle in Anqiu.

In such a situation, the warlord cannot help but think about it in his mind. Is such a scale of battle a cost-effective thing for him?

To mobilize troops against the Yong family, firstly, the troops are unknown. They are law-abiding people. If you send troops to fight, how can you convince the people?

Moreover, the Yong family is not the only such a famous family in Shandong.

If you beat the Yong family today, you may have to beat the Chen family tomorrow. There is no end to this "pressing the gourd and raising the gourd" thing.

It is conducive to one's rule to maintain social stability and economic prosperity within one's own ruling area.

A person who can separate one country and become king in the troubled times of the Republic of China must have some ability, and he is not stupid or stupid.

No matter what kind of situation is good for him, he will definitely be able to settle the account.

Secondly, the industry operated by the Yong family pays a lot of taxes and fees to the local government every year, and in the end, it benefits itself.

This kind of thing of killing the goose and retrieving the eggs is fun to do, but it will only be uncomfortable later.

Third, the Yong clan's own strength also made the warlords murmur in their hearts.

In China at that time, which big family didn't have a nurse to practice bravery?

I heard that the strength of the Yong family's Lian Yong, who was used to protect the courtyard and look after the house, was far superior to that of the local city defense camp, so this was a tough nut to crack.

If this is done with real swords and guns, not to mention the loss of troops, and in the end it cannot be closed, and public opinion is in an uproar, then the opponent will use it to stir up trouble against itself.

The territory that was finally secured may change hands by then, and many years of hard work may be wasted.

Moreover, the news coming from the south is getting more and more true, and the situation is gradually getting tighter. Who knows whether the Kuomintang people in Guangzhou will launch the Northern Expedition?

In this troubled time, it is better to stay still and maintain the status quo.
