Chapter 290: Coin Circle

In a sense, the push of the sea coin was greatly praised at the beginning, and the copper coin was good, but when the wage level of the blacksmith's workshop reached a certain height, this thing was too heavy.

Every time a salary is paid, it is a kind of torment, take Niu Dali's level of master as an example, generally speaking, it is 200 to 300 a month.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but the money has always been equal to 8 catties, that is to say, one or two thousand catties of copper coins, and it takes more than a dozen to be able to bring it back.

With the increase in wages in the blacksmith workshops, in fact, the prices were also rising, and the blacksmith workshops at this time, like the Northeast of China in later generations, became a terrible city, a city with workers as the main body, and everything else served the workers.

The rise in the level of wages has not only made prices rise, but also some service industries and the tertiary industry have begun to rise.

It's always 8 pounds, not everyone can take it seriously, and they always carry these things.

It's okay now, it's always been less than a catty, at least one or twenty times less than before, don't care if he's worth this number or not, it's just convenient to pick it up.

The blacksmith workshop is so huge, and so many orders have been signed with dealers from all over the country and the Northern Song Dynasty, and the business is booming, and there is no deception, let alone this Dinghai coin, even if it is a white note, they also recognize it.

When the workers of the blacksmith workshop recognized it, this economic environment, in fact, had already begun to kick in, and the other hundreds of thousands of people who depended on the blacksmith workshop for their livelihood inevitably needed to accept this.

In the beginning, there were certain fluctuations, but when this money can be exchanged in the bank anytime and anywhere, in fact, a unique numismatic circle has been formed.

The Daimyo Mansion, Cao Di's mansion, the appearance of this Dinghai coin, the first time, got his attention, Cao Di is one of the few economically minded officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the development of the Daimyo's Mansion is so good, it is inseparable from his overall planning.

Of course, he knew that in the past, the numismatic environment of the entire Northern Song Dynasty must have been problematic, the big ones were too big, and the small ones were too small, and the reason why copper coins were popular was because in the countryside, maybe a penny was already a lot of pocket money.

However, in the city, when most of the income is above the same level, copper coins are inconvenient, and in the rich and noble, most of the circulation is gold and silver, but there is very little gold and silver, and it is not very stable, and it is easy to fluctuate.

Now, the Dinghai coin that suddenly appeared, or as 100 Wen, just filled the gap and grasped the key point at once.

However, there is a big question now, whether this 100 Wen Dinghai coin can be sustained.

Jiaozi, Huangjiaozi, and some other alternative currencies have appeared for a long time in the past, that is, the Huangjiaozi issued by the government, which has existed for a longer time.

Because of where is the credibility of the Northern Song Dynasty government, but with the financial tension, it is inevitable to enter the link of additional issuance, these currencies, what I am most afraid of is this, a little additional issuance, will inevitably depreciate gradually.

Now, from the appearance of the first batch of Huangjiaozi, to now, almost for a while, Huangjiaozi began to slowly depreciate, from the beginning of the consistent to consistent, to the present, less than 600 Wen, a full reduction of 4 percent, that is to say, the first batch of people to get them, at least 4 percent, which is a huge circulation, the number of depreciation is very considerable.

However, Dinghai currency is a little different, it is a metal currency, this metal, is it as good as they say.

The first time he got it, he took a serious look at it, and I have to say that this thing is quite exquisitely made, the silver surface, the depiction is quite perfect, and the whole coin is quite exquisite.

Simply from the top of a piece, this thing is worth 100 Wen, but under the premise of large quantities, it is not worth it, scarcity is expensive, when a thing, rotten all over the street, it is not worth it at all.

Cao Di got that magic weapon, at first, he was indeed a little grateful, but seeing that the blacksmith workshop was so big, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this thing was not a rare treasure at all, but the kind that could be mass-produced.

Fortunately, the blacksmith workshop is quite convergent and has not been launched on a large scale, otherwise, even if it is really useful, the price will be greatly reduced.

This coin is stronger than the magic weapon, Cao Di also heard about it, but it was just a joke, how could it be.

But when he took one casually and used a divine weapon to draw it, he was not stupid enough to use a divine weapon to cut it directly, what if it was really harder than the divine weapon as the blacksmith workshop said, then what should he do?

The divine weapon blows the hair and breaks the hair, it should be able to leave traces, and some of the carved places are not very thick.

The result of the attempt made him depressed, because there was no way to leave any traces.

Could it be that it is really made of fine iron, then, this one coin is really valuable, but what to do about it, such fine iron, more terrible than the magic weapon, and so strong, someone must have an idea about it, and when the time comes, these things will not be melted.

Cao Di felt that Zhao Xin would not lose money, but he should not make much money, such a thing, if he gathers a few catties, he can also build a weapon.

Cao Di, it is impossible to make it so clear, he just needs to try, this thing has real value.

Recently, the Daimyo's Mansion has been quite developed in terms of business and trade, but because of the emergence of the blacksmith's workshop, his goods have consumed a lot of money, and a large number of copper coins and the like have been absorbed by him, causing a shortage of money in the market, which has affected the economic development of the Daimyo's Mansion, just this, he took the initiative to mention to Zhao Xin that the Daimyo Mansion would buy Dinghai coins worth 1.5 million yuan, and asked the blacksmith workshop to provide no less than 3.5 million Dinghai coins in Dinghai Money.

All of a sudden, 5 million, which is enough to solve the current problem of money shortage, and will make the Daimyo's Mansion more prosperous.

This is the first one, the government took the initiative to ask for circulation, although it was only limited to the Daimyo Mansion, but Zhao Xin knew that as long as the effect was good, it would definitely circulate in Hebei.

And Hebei is also the entire Northern Song Dynasty, a very important area, as long as it begins to circulate in Hebei, then it will not be very far from the circulation of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

There are some difficulties, about 240,000 yuan a day, 5 million, it takes almost 20 days, plus what he manifested before, he has to wait for another 20 days, he can't wait.

However, in the end, Zhao Xin still stayed, the matter of the Xiang Army, he sent Xue Yu to fight the front station, when the time comes, take Sun Ji, and go quickly, 20 days, temporarily form a circle of coins in the Daimyo Mansion, which is very important for future development.

There was a great sensation among the workers of the blacksmith's workshop, who had never known that there was something so convenient, even more durable than a copper coin.

Copper coins will rust and break over time, but this thing, even if it is smashed with a stone, it is difficult to break.

The blacksmiths can't see good materials, and the wages given here are high, and some of them are a little ready to move, and even get 50 Dinghai coins and secretly melt them.

50 guan, almost about 20 catties, this can also be a weapon.

However, his own blacksmith table could not be cast at all, and even the blacksmith table in the workshop could not be used.

The blacksmith table in the workshop is at most smelting iron, more than 1500 degrees, which is already the limit temperature, but this thing, at least 1700, a difference of 200 degrees, it cannot be smelted.

This has also aroused the curiosity of many people, what is this thing, so strong, unsmeltable, not rusty, will there be such a material in the world, and it is exactly the same, how is it processed.

Not to mention the strangeness of many people, in fact, similar methods are staged in many places.

When copper coins were cheaper than copper, there were people who specialized in collecting copper coins, smelting and casting them into bronze to make money, smart people, everywhere, China did not lack this.

But such a Dinghai coin is strange, it can't be drawn, it can't be melted, and it can't be processed, just like a pimple, where it looks, but it will never be there.

Cao Di's promotion, coupled with the influence of the blacksmith workshop, immediately caused a boom when the first batch of 1 million Guanding sea coins was officially opened in the Daimyo's Mansion.

The money shortage in the Daimyo Mansion is a money shortage in the market, in the homes of big merchants and nobles, I don't know how much is buried, they are all collected, and they are not taken out to use, and now, it is exchanged for Dinghai Money Village.

Such a beautiful and valuable coin, where to find it, convenience is on the one hand, the big nobles and merchants, it is easier to see his value, even according to the previous price of fine iron, it will not suffer much, not to mention, this is far more than the fine iron.

The common people, although there is no copper coin, also use it very well, because the blacksmith workshop is inevitable, will buy some materials, provide some work, and even let the people come to serve, these services, are to give money, the people did not recognize at first, and did not accept this, when the big families were crazy to buy, they immediately recognized.

A circle of new coins centered on the Daimyo Mansion and the Blacksmith Workshop, totaling only 7 million yuan, began to take shape, not only to solve the problem of money shortage, but also to create a new currency, for Zhao Xin, the same is true, the profit of these coins is dozens of times, this is still static income, and when it is operated in the future, it will make more money.

The copper coins that were recycled, Zhao Xin was useless for the time being, so he could only pile them up, but copper has an important role in many aspects, as long as it is found, it must be a huge source of wealth.
