"Emperor, please have a look."
In the imperial library, Pang Yukun presents a set of coins printed in front of Xiao Ming.
After he decided to issue currency, Xiao Ming asked the government to make full preparations and allocate resources. With his personal supervision, the first minting workshop of Dayu was successfully established, and a set of currency of Dayu was produced within one month.
This includes the paper money he asked for, as well as three kinds of metal currency, which are made of gold, silver and copper.
Both paper money and gold, silver and copper coins are collectively referred to as Dayu dragon coin. The gold coin in the Dragon coin is called Jinlong, weighing 1.5g and made of pure gold. The silver coin is called Yinlong, weighing 1.5g and worth one tenth of the gold coin, while the copper coin is one tenth of the silver coin.
In this way, gold, silver and copper are the main currency in circulation in the market, while paper money is relatively large in denomination and is mainly used for large-scale commercial trade.
In this era, people's recognition of metal currency is far greater than paper money. If they use paper money rashly, people will not be willing to exchange their gold and silver for paper money because of lack of trust.
Therefore, what Xiao Ming produces at present are large value banknotes, which are mainly used for trade circulation. At the same time, the reason why he does so is to prevent counterfeit banknotes from impacting the private economy.
If the banknotes are used in large-scale trade, the merchants will go to the bank and ask the bank to identify the authenticity of the banknotes before using them, thus cutting off the circulation of counterfeit banknotes.
After all, although he used many kinds of anti-counterfeiting technologies in the process of making banknotes, it is difficult to guarantee that western countries will not print counterfeit banknotes to harm the finance of Dayu.
In history, Napoleon copied a large number of Russian banknotes. In the process of attacking Russia, he used a large number of counterfeit banknotes to buy Russian goods, which caused chaos in the domestic economy of Czarist Russia and made people buy gold for refuge.
At the same time, Napoleon also printed pounds, Austrian currency, Prussian currency, which made Europe full of counterfeit currency.
Thinking of this history, Xiao Ming thinks that we should be cautious. Now the western colonists are full of malice towards Dayu, and they have always wanted to reverse the trade deficit. He can't give them this opportunity.
"Is this the one hundred gold dragon coin?" Xiao Ming looks at the note, which is in cash yellow and is made of ochre.
In the middle of the note is a crown of the emperor's head, which is three times similar to Xiao Ming's.
To the north of the note is a steam engine locomotive moving on the rail. The words "100" are in the middle. These patterns are carefully carved by craftsmen. In the lower left corner of Xiao Ming's head, there is a small square printed with the production date and serial number of the note. The most important thing is that this small square uses micro carving technology, which once again increases the difficulty of imitation.
"Yes, emperor, this is the largest denomination currency of the state of Dayu at present. "Pang Yukun said with a smile, in fact, a golden dragon is enough for the people of Chongqing to live for a month.
After all, according to the previous silver conversion, the salary of a female worker in the textile workshop is now one golden dragon, which is 12 golden dragons a year, and the salary of female workers is very high in Qingzhou.
"After issuing banknotes, we need to set up banknote inspectors in each bank, and the issued currency needs to be stamped with the seal of Qingzhou bank, so as to prevent the occurrence of counterfeit banknotes. "Xiao Ming looks serious.
Any policy is a step-by-step, a stutter does not make a fat man. This discovery of currency is also a preliminary attempt of financial reform for him.
Putting down the paper money, Xiao Ming picked up the gold dragon, silver dragon and copper coins. In the current UK, the weight of a gold coin is about seven grams of gold. The reason why he used 1.5 grams of gold is that the current gold reserve is too small.
The new currency was issued in the hope of collecting gold and silver from the people, so that there would be no shortage of materials.
Like paper money, the head on the gold coin is Xiao Ming, but the silver coin is different from the copper coin. The silver coin is printed with a naval warship, while the copper coin is printed with mature wheat.
According to modern rules, this coin should be printed with the head of the founding emperor. However, since the chaos in Chang'an, Xiao Ming has rebuilt a different country, so he does not blush to use his own head.
The most important thing is to print your avatar on the money, which will also make the user more friendly to him. Who can't get along with the money?
After checking all the currencies, Xiao Ming said, "let Qingzhou bank issue them to the outside world. You can go to the newspaper and ask fan Zeng to cooperate with you in publishing the new currency."
After a pause, he continued: "in addition, the construction of Qingzhou bank should speed up, at least to ensure that each state has a bank."
"Lao Chen has been taking over the caojia bank. It is estimated that within two months, all caojia banks in prefectures and counties will be transformed into Qingzhou bank." Pang Yukun talked about his current achievements.
Xiao Ming has always trusted Pang Yukun. He said, "in this way, I can rest assured. "
after discussing the issue of currency, Pang Yukun continued," emperor, according to the old minister, Ge Yiren and Kong Huairen, the head of the Confucius family in Qufu, have already returned to Qingzhou. I think it's time for the emperor to hold the ceremony of Taishan Fengchan. In this way, the emperor will be the leader of Confucianism and lead the Confucian revolution. "Xiao Ming nods, and he gets the news. It is said that as soon as GE Yiren arrives in Qufu, he persuades Kong Huairen, the master of the Kong family. After staying in Qufu for a period of time, Kong Huairen takes more than 300 disciples and three of them to Qingzhou. Now he is waiting for his reception.
Xiao Ming is happy to see the success of this matter. At this time, the Kong Family recognized the situation and saved him a lot of effort.
"When I see Kong Huairen, I have a lot to tell him." Xiao Ming pondered that in order to reform Confucianism, he personally wrote a set of key points that needed reform, waiting for Kong Huairen to publicize for himself.
"Yes, Emperor."
Pang Yukun answers and confirms that Xiao Ming has nothing else to do before he turns and leaves.
After only Xiao Ming was left in the imperial study, he picked up the new currency of Dayu state again. In a flash, the reform of Dayu state has been carried out for two years. With the deliberate support of the government, various workshops have been set up in all parts of Dayu state, and the government and private sectors jointly support the industry of Dayu state.
Because of the prosperity of industry, the merchants had more goods to resell, and a steady stream of silver flowed into the state of Dayu.
But for him, the current industrial capacity is not enough. He needs more workshops, but in this way, he needs more markets to support the industry and sell more types of goods.
Thinking of this, he can't wait to get more Koryo like areas.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li San went outside the imperial study.
