A graphic is drawn, how to make it, is a problem, for the future generations, directly find a simple stamping machine, you can, but in this era, there is no such advanced technology, it does not mean that there is no way to process these things, in fact, it is more simple.

Carving, even corundum with a hardness of more than 8, can be carved and shaped, relatively speaking, the hardness of stainless steel is only 6.1, there is no difficulty.

It may be said that it is a little difficult for them to carve, but Zhao Xin did not only prepare one material.

As early as the refining, I have memorized all the recipes, large-scale production is not good, small-scale is still OK, no longer calm cooling, so that these stainless steels are combined into one, but the method of pouring is used, divided into the same size of the square, the thickness is above, and the hardness is about the same, and then, carved on it.

Perhaps, the process in the middle cannot be compared with stamping, and on the engraving, less hollowing is also used, and more are some large-scale appearances, which are slowly cut and formed, so that they can be durable.

The Daimyo's Mansion itself is one of the important hub cities in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the core of the north, and some gems from the grasslands and from further north have also been processed into the Northern Song Dynasty in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Here, it is no problem to find some carvers, especially the maritime merchant who auctioned off 800,000 treasures through auctions, he has several jewelry stores here in the Daimyo's Mansion, and even a few foreign carvers.

A total of 20 people were found, and they took a total of 400 documents, and after a little evaluation, the time given was 7 days.

7 days to complete an engraving, it sounds a little too fast, but this is different from the carving of treasures, the hardness is not so great, and there is no waste of the problem, as long as the carving is done, it doesn't matter how much it costs.

In three days, when more than 300 products were delivered to Zhao Xin, these were all carving masters, a carving of about 20 grams, which may be just a little larger than an ordinary copper coin, if it wasn't for the task set by Dinghai Hou, maybe they would be disdainful.

Everyone's artistic style is different, Zhao Xin's painting is just a rendering, he does not have the talent to paint like this, it can be said that in the end, the coins that come out are strange, and some even have a big difference.

Even a single sculptor has carved at least 7 different styles.

Zhao Xin looked at these styles and selected them from the middle, which were too novel and abstract, and they were directly passed, which did not conform to the convention.

Some carved and hollowed out ones are also passed, and some are sharp and easy to cut hands, of course, they are not good.

The jade carving masters, most of them are more rounded, and few of them are so sharp, they selected 5 pieces in the middle, and then after deep consideration, they even asked some folk customs and customs, and finally found the most beautiful one.

To Zhao Xin's current level, of course, it is impossible to let them work in vain, which is also not in line with Zhao Xin's style, the selected one was rewarded with 800 guan, and the rest were also given about 200 guan.

In the Daimyo's Mansion, except for the blacksmith workshop, in any handicraft workshop, even if it is a master, their monthly salary is at most forty or fifty yuan.

It seems that the income of the jewelry store is terrible, and the maritime merchants even sell a piece of jewelry to hundreds of thousands, at such a level, can they not afford a high salary?

But jewelry stores, it is impossible to sell so much every day, 300,000 yuan, I don't know how many years, this is only accumulated, or rely on the auction, in such a unique environment, to sell, miss the auction, they may not sell these things.

The daily running water, there is not much work given to these jade carving masters, and if it weren't for the jewelry store, they wouldn't be able to pay so much salary.

One-time, equivalent to a few months, or even more than a year, just carving these little things, which can be said to be a good thing for pie in the sky, and these people are also grateful to Dade.

Some clever carvers, guessing that this might be a coin, didn't say much.

The Northern Song Dynasty, or even the feudal dynasty, was very chaotic in the project of coinage, and some copper coins from the previous dynasty were also in circulation, and some iron coins, Jiaozi and other things, some were even released by the bank.

As long as these things are recognized by everyone and can be successfully circulated in the market, they can enter the market circulation, which is a very normal thing.

In the end, it wasn't accurate to 20 grams, only a little over 19 grams, which was not enough control for engraving, swept into the card system, and looked at the embodiment and price.

The cost of stainless steel is much higher than that of steel, almost 25 wen a catty, but the average price of each iron coin may only be about a penny, but when it is 100, this is the real profiteering.

The terrible nature of coinage has been verified countless times in later generations, even if it is a silver coin, only 1-2 percent of the floating interest, and the amount of this money, reaching a terrible level, will become the daily income of the kingdom.

The price is not high, this is not the point, the key is the output, I don't know if it is produced in the laboratory, breaking through a certain boundary, in the manifestation, you can manifest 500 kilograms at a time, that is, close to 25,000, the time is a little longer, about 15 minutes.

In this way, it is 100,000 in an hour and 2.4 million in a day.

This amount is very terrible, at least, Zhao Xin will be very satisfied, 240,000 guan a day, a year, close to 90 million, this may not be able to support the plate of the Northern Song Dynasty at the beginning, but 10 years later, the total amount is already larger than the total amount of currency circulating in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

This currency is not a complete replacement for copper coins and gold and silver in the past, but only as the most important auxiliary currency.

The card system immediately turned, and he was ready to complete the first batch, and 1 hour later, in front of Zhao Xin, it was 100,000, such a beautiful steel coin.

It looks silvery, and the visual impact is very terrifying, Zhao Xin felt the sound and texture, which was very good.

Called Wang Song in, Wang Song saw the coins piled together, like a small mountain, a little surprised, he didn't realize that this was money, he just thought that this was Zhao Xin's new product.

Compared with the previous iron products, this product can not see any effect, glanced at it, it seems to draw quite delicate patterns, handicrafts?

Wang Song didn't dare to ask more, in fact, when the blacksmith workshop opened, he found that there were some things that he couldn't ask more, and if he asked more, he would make more mistakes.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xin told Wang Song about the role of this thing, Wang Song was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that it was money, and it was hundreds of money.

Feudal society, for this kind of money when ten when hundred, there is a natural fear, the practice called the bad government, is the introduction of five money, that kind of money, than ordinary copper money is about twice as heavy, in principle, only use 2 times, representing 5 times.

However, this is a kind of looting of the treasury, and such money will depreciate sharply and disappear quickly.

Seeing the worry on Wang Song's face, Zhao Xin said calmly: "I will open a money bank at the same time as issuing this coin!" ”

The expression on Wang Song's face was not the slightest relaxed, although because of the relationship between the blacksmith workshop, as well as auctions and exhibitions, they had a good relationship with the money houses in various parts of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of such a good relationship that you will know that the money bank is not so easy to start, an ordinary money bank, to a very high credibility, and even under the premise of having a semicolon everywhere, in addition to the accumulation of reputation and time, it is a huge manpower.

Qian Zhuang is different from the blacksmith workshop, which requires professional manpower, and the slightest problem in the middle of this will be a big problem.

Wang Song didn't say anything, but the side knocks and expressions all proved that he was not optimistic about this money bank.

In fact, if it weren't for the card system, and the exquisiteness of this coin as a backing, Zhao Xin would not be optimistic.

"I know your worries, the money bank must be opened!" Zhao Xin said firmly: "However, our money bank is not the same as other money bank businesses for the time being, and is only responsible for two kinds of business, when the exchange of 100 fine iron coins, as well as the deposit and exchange of fine iron coins!" ”

"Iron Coins?" Only then did Wang Song set his eyes on the round currency, and picked up one easily.

The weight of the whole is not high, half a tael is a little more than a little, the subtleties, see the clues, the whole coin is quite delicate, the obverse, the back, and the serrations, the depiction is quite exquisite, the whole is an excellent handicraft.

If there is only one, or even under the premise of being so beautiful, it can sell 100 Wen, or even higher, but there are tens of thousands of them.

Rare things are expensive, no matter how delicate things are, when tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, put together, it is not expensive, let alone currency.

However, Zhao Xin's simple introduction, from the quality, to the method of identification, even mentioned the comparison between the hardness of the divine weapon and his.

Wang Song was really a little dumbfounded, even the divine weapons that had been sold for thousands of times could not leave any traces on him, and they were corrosion-resistant, and they would not change if they were placed in muddy water, or even alum oil, which could corrode steel.

This made Wang Song moved, if this is really the case, if it is calculated simply by the weight of the divine weapon, this value is much higher than this, and it will not rust, such a valuable material, used to make hundreds of money, isn't this for others to melt and cast?

Zhao Xin smiled slightly and didn't speak, in this era, I'm afraid there are really few people who can melt him, the temperature of general iron is 1500 degrees, and the temperature of steel is 1200 degrees, although this is not as good as the top kind in later generations, it is also as high as about 1700 degrees, in this era, there is almost no way to smelt.

Wang Song did not convince Zhao Xin, but was persuaded by Zhao Xin, immediately, when it was time to pay wages, try first, see the reaction, and at the same time, prepare to let Qian Zhuang go on the horse together, and prepare to open Qian Zhuang in the Daimyo's Mansion first.
