Chapter 299: Master Thorn's class has begun
"My lord, the mint and the banknote printing factory have all been completed, and you only need to go and complete the acceptance, and you can start trial production according to the plan." Lu Zhi, a senior researcher at the Laoshan base in charge of the coin manufacturing workshop, said.
Zhao Yuan has been following the progress of the research and development of new coins and banknotes.
The main thing is that there are too many expectations for unnamed coins and banknotes.
Therefore, from the material to the style, from the quality to the connotation, Zhao Yuan followed several skilled craftsmen from Danling, constantly striving for excellence, and also optimizing the production process and controlling the production cost after mass production as much as possible.
"Okay, everyone, I think our Meizhou coins will be produced according to the latest set of plans, right?"
Before and after the design of more than ten sets of Meizhou will be new coins style, currency value, Zhao Yuan is actually not very satisfied, limited by materials, technology, and raw materials of various factors, and finally Zhao Yuan decided to make a decision, he only saw the most pleasing set of plans.
"I also think this set is the best, and the most important thing now is that these new coins in our Meizhou, what are they called, can't they still be called Guangzheng Tongbao?" Wan Yunjun said.
"Definitely not, if it is still called Guangzheng Tongbao, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not allow us to do this, and it is called Guangzheng Tongbao, which is not conducive to the circulation of these coins outside Meizhou." Zhang Xucong shook his head and said.
"Indeed, our Houshu is gone, and Emperor Guangzheng has passed away, five ...... Well, Lord Thorn, we must no longer call our coins Guangzheng Tongbao. Wang Pinxuan said.
"Rest assured, this new set of coins that my Meizhou is about to launch is completely different from the coins circulating in various places now, and it will definitely not be called Guangzheng Tongbao, and it must avoid the jealousy of the imperial court, nor can it be named the year name of the current imperial court Jianlong." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.
"Then this is difficult, in the minds of the people everywhere, whether it is copper money or iron money, it will be called a certain treasure, if our new currency, not called what Tongbao, Tianbao, how can the people agree?" Zhang Xucong frowned and said.
"It's just a name, although a good name can allow us to promote Meizhou coins and play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort. But it is a kind of currency, and the more important thing is not what it is called, but the exchange value represented by this currency, our Meizhou, many workshop industries, never shortage of food and a steady stream of creativity, is a strong guarantee for the exchange value of our coins. Zhao Yuan saw that everyone was still struggling with the name of the coins that Meizhou was about to issue, and knew that he had also drilled the tip of the horns.
"What are you going to do?"
"The recognition of coins, the difficulty is how to put the first batch of coins out, especially our coins, and more valuable banknotes, how the people recognize this kind of money that has never existed, is a thing that we need to think about." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, continuing to exert everyone's subjective initiative and let everyone use their brains to think.
"Lord Thorn Shi has an idea, I know that Lord Thorn Shi has a lot of ghost ideas!" Wang Pinxuan said with a smile.
"Third long history, pay attention to your identity, what is called a ghost idea." Zhang Xucong scolded.
"I'm sorry, I lost my words, it should be Lord Thorn Shi who is resourceful and shines for thousands of miles." Wang Pinxuan corrected the way from the good.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about what money, that is, currency, what it is, why it is just some dead things such as copper, iron, gold and silver, which can be exchanged for the vast majority of goods in the world after being built by the imperial court of the dynasties, engraved with a few words of treasure, and made into a fixed shape?"
Zhao Yuan's economics lecture was opened.
"I really haven't thought about it, isn't money just money? Since it's money, it's a natural thing to be able to use it to buy things! Ran Yanbo said.
And others, after hearing Zhao Yuan's words, began to think about it, this commonplace behavior of buying things with money, the things contained in it, seem to be not so simple.
"First of all, we need to figure out a concept, a commodity, a thing, under what circumstances will it become a commodity?"
"Naturally, it is something that can be sold for money, so it can be called a commodity."
……
In short, the value of the commodity and the amount of money that can be sold depends on the value of the commodity itself and the demand relationship in the current market.
Why our goods in Meizhou can make people rush to them, in the final analysis, is that our goods, in the eyes of outsiders, are the most valuable things. ”
"Everything in the world is knowledge, in the past, I thought that the things taught in the Yucai Academy in Gray Plains were all the knowledge of the world's insights, but I didn't expect that what I learned was still too shallow?" Zhang Xucong shook his head and said.
"First long history, didn't you say that you would never go to the enlightenment books that your little kids learned? Now let's talk about leaks! Wan Yunjun said with a smile.
When he was in Gray Plains, because Changyan Changsong went home, he always asked Wan Yunjun some questions that seemed inexplicable to him, but Wan Yunjun didn't know the answer, so he could only take out his authority as a father and fool things around, but later he had to get a whole set of tutorial books from Yucai Academy and began to learn from scratch.
"Now I'm talking about business, it's not the time to joke, Lord Thorn Shi, you said so much, what does it have to do with the coins we are about to issue, it's impossible, our goods in Meizhou are valuable and sought-after, and people outside will recognize and use our money, right?" Zhang Xucong glanced at Wan Yunjun and the three of them, who were still laughing at him, and then said.
"Money, that is, money, does not exist in itself or has a very low value, but is only a medium of exchange, a generally accepted standard for the payment of goods, services, and debts. Historically, when there was no currency, people could only exchange goods with each other on a barter ......"
"Therefore, if we want to become a widely accepted currency, in addition to luring it to profit, we must also practice it to ensure that people who hold our Meizhou currency have no worries, and can easily exchange the goods in their hands for currency at a low or high price at any time, and can also use Meizhou's new currency to buy goods that are ready to be sold in the current market."
"It's too complicated, Lord Thorn Shi, it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for us to use the power of Meizhou to implement this matter in the whole world!"
"Don't be afraid, at present, our Meizhou commodities are basically in an advantageous position in the whole world, and there is no competition, as long as we control the total amount of currency issued, there will be no and no problems. In the later stage, we will also select the right talents and set up a special agency to monitor the launch and use of Meizhou's new currency to ensure that there are no problems. Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Having said that, Lord Thorn, how are you going to put this first batch of currency out?"
"Scattering coins?"
"What's the explanation?"
"Just literally?"
