Chapter 557 South House Library (seeking monthly pass)
With Kitaoka Ryoko browsing, the entire plan content surfaced.
It turned out that when the Japanese army raided Guangzhou Bay this time, the Japanese Navy captured a freighter transported from the United States to Guangzhou when blocking the bay. At first, it thought it was just an ordinary freighter, but when searching, it found a large amount of fiat currency, with a face value of as many as one billion. In addition, there was also an original printing machine with extremely high precision, which immediately made the Japanese feel like they were treasured.
In fact, decades ago, the Japanese forged and printed banknotes issued by China many times, impacting the Chinese market and trying to drag down China's financial system economically.
In the early 20th century, China's economy began to develop, and the previous silver trading and circulation system was increasingly unsuitable to economic development. Successive governments tried to replace the silver-based financial system with issuing paper money, but unfortunately they failed to achieve good results.
The most important reason is that the Chinese government's printing technology is backward and there is almost no anti-counterfeiting technology. After just issuing a kind of banknote, it will definitely appear on the market in less than a year or two. The consequence of the impact on the market is that this banknote depreciates rapidly and no longer has circulation value. It can only be given up. Every time the banknote issuance will cause severe shocks in the financial market and eventually give up halfway.
The biggest culprit here is Japan. Their level of banknote making is far higher than that of China. As long as China issues a banknote, they can copy it in a short time and then invest it in the Chinese market to hit China's economy.
The harm of the Japanese counterfeiting of counterfeit coins is obvious. They use this method as an auxiliary means to invade and plunder Chinese private wealth, and obtain huge benefits that are difficult to estimate.
The most famous modern thing is more than 20 years ago, after the restoration of Shanghai's 1911, Chen Qimei, the pioneer of the Kuomintang who was then the governor of the Shanghai Army, was in charge of the Shanghai Military Government.
The military government was just established and faced serious economic problems, so it founded a joint-stock Huashang Bank guaranteed and appointed to supervise by the military government to respond to current needs by issuing short-term military banknotes.
However, within a few months, forged "military banknotes" appeared on the Shanghai market, which caused panic in the financial community. The credit of military banknotes quickly shook and depreciated. Chen Qimei strictly investigated the origin of the fake military banknotes and finally pointed the finger at the Japanese government. However, in the end, he could only collect all the military banknotes issued by Huashang Bank and stop circulation. This time his efforts were once again failed.
It was precisely because of the Japanese's repeated obstructions that China's economy has been developing slowly and has continued to use the silver-based financial system. Until the 24th year of the Republic of China, the National Government launched currency reform and began to use fiat currency to officially replace silver circulation.
This time, the Republic of China government learned lessons. China's level of printing money was backward, so they simply entrust American money printing companies to print money. Everything was adopted by the advanced American technology. Whether it was paper, ink and other high-end materials, they were provided by American companies. They completed most of the printing work in the United States, and then transported most of the finished products to China to complete the last few steps of printing. A complete set of cumbersome procedures was completed, and the fiat currency was officially released.
This set of legal currency already has a watermark and a secret note, which was considered a circulating banknote with extremely high anti-counterfeiting technology at that time. Therefore, the fiat currency issued by the Chinese government can even go to foreign banks to exchange various foreign exchange and purchase various materials. It has a high reputation and a relatively strong currency value.
After the fiat currency was issued and circulated, the Japanese immediately began to develop counterfeit banknotes. Unfortunately, the progress this time was not smooth, and the printed fiat currency was not effective. Just a little identification can be used to identify the authenticity.
This made the Japanese very annoyed, but this time, a large number of semi-finished fiat currency and original printing machines were seized in Guangzhou Bay, and all these problems were solved in an instant.
It is difficult to forge the paper printed by fiat currency in the United States. At present, the Japanese have not successfully copied it. Now they have obtained fiat currency paper with a face value of one billion yuan, as well as printed watermarks and dark notes. It can be said that using these semi-finished fiat currency directly, you only need to complete the last few steps to successfully create a batch of fiat currency. To a certain extent, this is indeed true fiat currency, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity.
At present, the Chinese government's fiat currency is still relatively strong. If the Japanese were successfully printed, they could imagine that fiat currency worth one billion was put into the rear market of China, used in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, plundering strategic materials, destroying the circulation and credit of fiat currency, which would have a great impact on China's monetary system and how much wealth of Chinese private wealth would be plundered. It would greatly damage and drag down China's economy, and would be extremely harmful.
The semi-finished fiat currency and money printing machine seized this time will be directly transported to Shanghai, which is the base camp occupied by the Japanese and is also China's largest material and economic circulation market. After successful printing, this batch of fiat currency will be directly invested into the Shanghai market, which can radiate to the country as quickly as possible and achieve the greatest effect. This is the entire content of the Eclipse Moon Plan.
This eclipse moon plan was handed over to Shanghai Special High School Course. Kitaoka Ryoko finished reading the entire plan and immediately understood how important the task this time was, and all other tasks were not enough to compare.
She took a deep breath and bowed and said, "Thank you, Section Chief, for your trust. Please rest assured. I will do my best to complete this task!"
Taro Sagawa nodded and said, "You should be very clear about the importance of this task. I believe in your ability and value your loyalty more. I hope you can complete this task as soon as possible. All resources you need will be given priority, and all actions should be based on the Eclipse Moon Plan!
These banknotes and printing machines will arrive in Shanghai in the near future. You must do a good job of welcoming and keeping confidentiality. Hurry up and find a base for printing banknotes, make all preparations, and please give me everything!"
"Hi Yi!" Kitanoka Ryoko saluted and replied loudly.
Two days later, on the north bank of Suzhou River, Nanwu Library was rebuilt according to the same drawings.
Accompanied by Yuma Fukui, Ning Zhiheng visited the interior decoration of the entire Nanwu Academy and couldn't help but nod.
"Kun Fukui, you did a very good job. The entire library is exactly the same as what I remember. Even the decorative bottles placed in the same pattern, you really put it in mind." Ning Zhiheng praised with a smile.
This is the first time Ning Zhiheng has come here after the Nanwu Library was completed and opened. The entire library building perfectly and accurately copied the original appearance. Of course, the new level is far beyond the past.
"President, you have been too proud. What I did is insignificant. Without your strong support, how could Nanwu Library be rebuilt?" Fukui Yuma was naturally very happy when he heard Lin Zhiheng's praise. With these words from the president, his hard work has not been in vain.
At this time, the clerk Harada Ryuta, who was standing by, quickly spoke: "If Mr. Kuroki can come back here, he will definitely give him a big surprise. I really hope that Mr. can come back soon!"
Ryuta Harada was also one of the old staff of Nanwu Library. After the Battle of Songhu started, he was recruited into the reserve team. Fortunately, he was only injured and survived after the war. Later, like Yuma Fukui, he found a company to work for a living. Until Yuma Fukui found him and told him that the Nanwu Library had been rebuilt. Without saying a word, he returned to Nanwu Library and joined Yuma Fukui to start the restoration and decoration work of the library.
"Harada Jun, are there any other old employees coming back to work at the moment?" Ning Zhiheng asked. The previous library only came back from Yuma Fukui and Ryuta Harada, and the other employees were all new.
Ryuta Harada's face turned dark and replied: "Kukuya and Ohara both died in the last battle. We have not found any other people, and we don't know where they are now."
In the early days of the Battle of Shanghai, due to insufficient troops, a large number of reserve teams were sent to the frontline of the battlefield, and many losses were caused. In addition, many personnel had changed after several evacuations from Japan. The staff of Nanwu Library only returned two people.
Ning Zhiheng didn't say anything anymore. He stepped up the steps and came to the office on the second floor. The office in the middle was the former director's office of Kuroki Yuichi, and not far away was his office.
Ning Zhiheng pushed open the door, checked it, and nodded repeatedly. Fukui Yuma and Harada Ryuta were very careful in their work, and the various arrangements in Kuroki's room also perfectly restored their old appearance.
Ning Zhiheng came to his office again, sat in the seat and looked around, breathed comfortably, and ordered: "Okay, you guys go out, I'll take a break here myself."
"Hii." Fukui Yuma and Harada Ryuta bowed and retreated.
Ning Zhiheng quietly closed his eyes and calmed down. After a while, he came to the desk, spread a piece of rice paper on the table, took out the brush, dipped it in thick ink, thought for a moment, calmed down, and put the pen like a tip.
"Tranquility and far-reaching"
The four large characters are full of ink and full of momentum, which makes Ning Zhiheng quite satisfied. His calligraphy accomplishments have also improved slightly compared to the past two years ago.
Then he began to write some Japanese verses and practice Japanese calligraphy until his interest was over, and then he put down his brush.
At this time, he looked at the time and probably He Siming should have appeared at this time. Then he left the room and came to the business hall downstairs.
The layout of the library is still the same as before. There are already many readers in the reading area, who are reading and selecting books.
Ning Zhiheng found He Siming who was quietly reading a book at a glance. It seemed that he had been here for a while. When the staff saw Ning Zhiheng go downstairs, they quickly stepped forward and bowed. Ning Zhiheng waved his hand to stop him, then pretended to be nothing, and soon came to He Siming.
