Chen Zijian was speechless about the way the people used silver, when the silver needed to be used, if there was no copper coin, he could only use scissors to cut a small piece of silver for change, and the use of money was chaotic.

In order to stabilize the development of Zhangjiacun and lay the foundation of high-rise buildings in the future, it is necessary to determine a new set of monetary base, as for the original currency circulation silver of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zijian wants to abolish it, and to put it bluntly, Chen Zijian wants to issue his own currency, silver dollars.

Mint.

Dozens of minting machines stamping dies under the drive of hydraulic power, coinage machines can only stamping once a minute, after the stamping is completed, the hydraulic power lifts the mold up to a certain height, and so on the following workers put the silver nuggets in the following molds, turn on the switch, the upper mold that is lifted up by water force falls heavily, combines with the lower mold, forms a silver dollar, the upper mold is carved with a chrysanthemum, the lower mold engraving the currency value, the currency value of the silver coin has two kinds, one yuan and ten yuan, corresponding to one or two silver and ten taels of silver. Of course, a ten-dollar dollar is twice as large as a one-dollar coin.

Silver dollars are worth nothing, it depends on who mints the silver coins, in Zhangjia Village, one acre and three points of land Chen Zijian has the final say, in his territory can only be traded with silver coins, the key is that Chen Zijian has a large number of subordinate factories, there were no silver coins in the past, and only silver and copper coins were issued to workers.

Chen Zijian began to mint his own currency, and later paid wages to silver coins, and if he wanted to buy goods in Zhangjia Village, he could only use silver coins, silver, copper coins or something to let the people exchange at the bank that was about to be established, anyway, this is a complex system engineering.

The right to mint coinage is one of the powers that Chen Zijian fancies, private coinage is caught, directly sentenced to death, confiscated family property, and recover any benefits obtained from coinage, don't think that the benefits obtained by private coinage are passed on to relatives without pursuing, it is impossible. Chen Zijian does not allow anyone to infringe on the coinage, and whoever dares to infringe will compensate with his life. There are some private individuals who cannot be contaminated, even in later countries, if a private dares to print counterfeit money, there will be absolutely no good end if they are caught, even in Western countries that claim to be democratic.

Workers can only work here for one year, and after a year, they are paid once in the factory, during which they eat, drink, and sleep in the factory, and the workers of the mint are not allowed to leave for a year, and if there is an urgent matter at home on the way to leave the mint, the mint will pay him once and dismiss the workers.

The mint is near the barracks, who dares to make up their minds about the mint, defeat the volunteers first, otherwise the safety of the mint does not have to worry.

Chen Zijian picked up a silver coin to watch, this is a silver coin with a face value of one tael, weighing one tael or four coins, silver white, all grinding and filtering, luster like a mirror, some burrs after the silver coin is stamped, after the workers polish and remove the burrs twice, the silver coin looks well-made, this silver coin looks much more pleasing to the eye than before, at least the surface looks silver coin color, exuding a charming luster.

Chen Zijian threw down the silver coins and grabbed a hundred silver coins, this is the feeling of wealth, the temptation that no one in the world can resist, who dares to tell Chen Zijian that he has no interest in these silver coins, and does not want to see silver coins shiny at all, Chen Zijian will throw him to mine, because this kind of person is a saint, and Zhangjiacun does not need a saint to exist.

Chen Zijian came to the mint, and naturally called Zhang Youde over, as the number two person, there was no need to hide such news from him.

Chen Zijian: "Mr. Zhang, how about you look at silver coins, they look much better than silver ingots!" ”

Zhang Youde picked up the silver coin and examined it carefully, and the silver coin worth one or two silver emitted a silvery-white light.

Chen Zijian said, "Give the people this silver coin and silver ingot to choose, which do you think they will choose?" ”

Zhang Youde did not answer Chen Zijian's question, and asked, "Chief, what is the proportion of silver in the silver coin?" ”

Chen Zijian motioned to the director of the mint next to him and asked him to answer the question.

Steward Zhang hurriedly said, "Chief Zhang, silver accounts for eight points, and other metals account for two points!" ”

Zhang Youde nodded, there are eight points of silver in a silver coin, and the value of such a silver coin itself is quite high, and the people do not have to suffer a loss when exchanging silver coins.

As for the monetary reform, Chen Zijian has not yet carried out it on a large scale, but only replaced the original non-standard silver ingots with silver coins and gold coins, and replaced the original black silver ingots with such shiny silver coins, and it was much easier for the people to accept silver coins.

Chen Zijian: "Mr. Zhang, this box of silver coins has been given to you." ”

Zhang Youde was excited, "The chief must never have a meritorious service." ”

Chen Zijian patted Zhang Youde on the shoulder, and then said, "The trivial things in Zhangjiacun are all done by you for me, and you have helped me a lot, this is a prize for you, don't shirk it, and it's not just you who have a reward, Zhang San, Li Hu, they all have it." ”

Zhang Youde heard Chen Zijian say this, and thanked Chen Zijian for the reward, there are at least thousands of silver coins in this box, which shows that Chen Zijian gave him a rich reward, this is a thousand gold!

The people next to him looked at Zhang Youde with envy, and they could only envy him, Zhang Youde's status was not something they could compare.

Chen Zijian watched it in the factory, there was nothing to do, let people carry out ten boxes from the warehouse, one box contained a thousand silver coins, Chen Zijian took them to give away, as for the matter of silver coins instead of silver ingots, let Zhang Youde be responsible. Shake off the shopkeeper!

Zhang San returned to the police station, just dealt with a bad matter, many people in Zhangjia Village were arrested by Chen Zijian, and it was inevitable that the people would have various conflicts.

The reason for the quarrel is also very simple, two young people who are young and have nowhere to vent, accidentally touch, and then what do you see, look at you. Look at it again, look at you! Then they called their own people and wanted to fight in groups.

Because he knew the seriousness of the disturbance in Zhangjia Village, before Zhang San rushed to the stage of quarrel, Zhang San brought more than 100 people over, and took advantage of the fact that the two waves of people had not yet started fighting, arrested the people, each beat 50 boards, and then released the people, because there was no trouble, just a verbal warning.

If the two waves of people really fight, the consequence is to be arrested by the police, depending on the seriousness of the matter, a slight to the mining area to do things for three months, if a group fight kills, serious stay in the mining area for the rest of their lives, the two waves of people are quite sane and do not challenge the rules of Zhangjia Village. The rules here are strict and serious, and whoever dares to make trouble will be unlucky.

After taking a sip of water to quench his thirst, a policeman knocked on the door and came in, "Chief, the chief is here, come out quickly!" ”

Zhang San was shocked, is there anything wrong with the chief? Recently, the police haven't had anything to do, he and Zhang Youde are both civil and martial, responsible for the affairs of Zhangjia Village, Zhang Youde's subordinates are greedy for ink, and Zhang Youde has dealt with a group of people, the chief is here, is there something wrong with his subordinates?

While thinking about things, he went out to greet Chen Zijian.

"Chief, why do you have time to come!"

Chen Zijian smiled, "Why, it's not okay to come here." ”

Zhang San: "Where, where, wait for the chief at any time." ”

Chen Zijian: "Don't talk nonsense with you, then, here's a box for you, which is a reward for you, of course, your subordinates also have it." But let them go to Zhang Youde to get it. ”

The police maintain law and order in Zhangjia Village, Chen Zijian naturally will not forget their merits, the volunteers go out to fight and make meritorious contributions, but the police have relatively few opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and it is time to reward them.

The number of police officers is more than 12,000, and Chen Zijian rewards each person with ten basic silver coins, and what credit the police have in normal times will be increased on the basis of merit, for example, a policeman catches a thief and adds a silver coin. Looking at the merits and rewards, of course, the police, including the police, are responsible for law and order, and the rewards are not enough compared to the volunteers.

Zhang San asked someone to carry a box from the carriage.

"Chief, what can you send me?"

Zhang San had already let go of the pride of the former cottage and did things for Chen Zijian with peace of mind.

Chen Zijian: "Look at it yourself, and go." After saying that, take someone away.

Zhang San couldn't figure out Chen Zijian's routine, so he came over to send him a box, and let someone else send it over, Chen Zijian couldn't afford to send it over in person, uh, Chen Zijian just stopped by.

The box was carried into the police station, and many policemen gathered around, curious about what the chief would send to the chief.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Zhang San didn't let people leave, and opened the box in front of everyone. This was given to him by Chen Zijian, so there is no need to hide anything.

"Ahh

Wow!

"Suck!"

The various reactions of the police officers present looked at the silver coins emitting silver light in the box, swallowed their throats, it was too sudden, too scary, and the chief gave the director a box of silver shining silver.

Zhang San picked up a silver coin and played with it in surprise, the feeling of the silver coin in his hand was really cool.

Everyone looked at the director with envy, and when everyone was envious, the policeman who conveyed Chen Zijian's reward came in, saw everyone's reaction, and said happily, "Everyone, listen, the chief gave each of us ten silver coins, and there are more brothers with merit." ”

"Wow!"

This time the surprise was even louder, the silver coins that the chief gave to the director, everyone could only look at it, and they didn't dare to think about it, and they heard the reward that the chief gave him, although there were not as many as the director, but it was the director, and it would be good if he was a little policeman who could have a reward.

Silver coins were first used on a large scale from the police.

Chen Zijian pulled the remaining nine boxes, which were for Li Hu, Li Shi, and Zhang Yu to be the commanders of the army, and of course he also wanted a few boxes of silver coins to suppress the shock.
