Chapter 291: Money Circulation
Unconsciously, it has been more than 3 months since I arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and in August 1044, not only the blacksmith workshop has obtained terrible profits, and has obtained orders from the center of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also a large number of civilian orders, Dinghai coins, have also become a large monetary system.
The total number is as high as 7 million, accounting for almost more than half of the entire Daimyo's Mansion, and unlike the half-belief in Jiaozi, this metal currency has naturally been recognized by people.
The most important thing is that Jiaozi is often in the circulation of people who know people, or where to read people, and ordinary people who are promoted to fight do not dare to use it at all.
God knows, what exactly is this piece of paper, that is, after you are familiar with it.
But Dinghai coin is different, he is first of all exquisite, in Dinghai money village, in front of the big platform, he will be displayed every day, anyone who wants to understand, will come to understand, and can even play with their own hands.
The staff in charge of reception will also introduce some characteristics of Dinghai currency in detail, for example, the meaning of patterns, the meaning of those high-rise buildings, and an interesting thing, count how many windows there are on the high-rise buildings.
This is also one of the anti-counterfeiting, if you have the ability, you will find that these windows have some unique places, which are carved by master craftsmen with unique methods, and at some different angles, you can even see the word Dinghai.
This is originally the place where these craftsmen show their kung fu, the craftsman who made the Dinghai coins, almost a week's time, most of them, were put on the Dinghai coins, and the rest were hastily carved.
But this has become one of the biggest highlights of anti-counterfeiting, such a handiwork, not that no one can do it, there are at least a dozen people in the Daimyo Mansion can do it, but what are these people, either excellent craftsmen in the jewelry industry, or they are masters in carving, even if they want to carve to this extent, it will take five or six days.
This has become a huge obstacle to counterfeiting, not to mention the material, even if it is engraving, if this point cannot be achieved, it must be fake, and it is difficult for craftsmen, but for ordinary people, it is not difficult, as long as it passes a certain angle, there is a word is true, no is fake, and even do not need to recognize words.
This is a terrible thing, even if it is not a material that does not enter the stream, the price of a simple carving is more than consistent, a master, no matter how there should be an income of 5 times, a quarter of the time, it has always been not too much.
From the very beginning, Zhao Xin put an end to the possibility of counterfeiting, and after the launch, it was widely advertised, and under the promotion of Cao Di, there was even some momentum, whether it was recognized or not, everyone would go to take a look, and it would be good to have a long insight.
In itself, Zhao Xin's launch of this Dinghai coin, but also made the entire money industry a little dissatisfied, and may even be involved, some new money banks, if not able to fly tickets and silver tickets, some secret things, just fake, will make him bankrupt.
The blacksmith workshop has entered the field of money strongly, and it will definitely affect other people, and the flow and deposits of the simple blacksmith workshop have affected at least dozens of money houses, but when they saw such a big deal, they immediately died down.
They are all discerning people, and they can calculate the cost of this thing, and in any way, he can't use it as paper money and credit money, he is the real precious metal currency.
Even to a certain extent, some of the owners also believe that this is Dinghai Money Zhuang is losing money and making money, a new money bank, only in this point, promoted, it is possible to intervene in the industry, but how long can he last.
The people of Qianzhuang are preparing to see the jokes, but the people of Shengdou are very emotional, such an easy to identify, even if it is his anti-counterfeiting that cannot be distinguished, just find a knife and pull it, on the market, including the magic weapons that have been auctioned, can not leave traces on him.
This is what Cao Di personally admitted, and as a simple method.
This is really going to be a dead man, if you want to achieve not to be scratched by the knives in the world, this can be done before, the common people, the small people of Shengdou, it is good that they can afford to use iron, or the kind of iron that does not enter the stream at all, a little forging, it is harder than them.
But now, with the large-scale popularity of civilian products, as long as it is not the kind that the really poor family can't open the pot, anyone can afford to buy a knife, a knife of more than 2 catties, only about 180 Wen, and it is sharp and durable.
This is the original clad steel of the blacksmith's workshop, which uses a section that is not too long to wrap the blade to ensure that the sharpness is guaranteed under the premise of a small investment.
This is going to be a real life, all of a sudden, the hardness of the folk knives has increased greatly, and the sharpness is also terrible, compared with before, it really has the ability to cut gold and break jade.
Materials and carving, good anti-counterfeiting, so that Dinghai coins from the first appeared, it gradually went higher, at the beginning, there are some inferior counterfeiting, even to Dinghai money, but in front of the real coin, not to mention a little similar, that is really not a trace, as long as a little understanding of the real currency, will not be fooled, a few propaganda anti-counterfeiting, any counterfeit money can not do.
In addition to defending against counterfeiting, Dinghai Money Village also promotes the use of Dinghai coins for settlement and daily use, rather than exchanging them at the bank when they need to be used, just like silver tickets.
Metal currency, itself is easy to use, and when the reputation of 100 Wen spread, it is also quite recognized, before the heavy one, may be as fast as a pound, only 100 Wen, it is not very convenient to put anywhere, now there is less than half a tael, the difference is huge, it can be seen.
At the beginning, such Dinghai coins were not collected by everyone, and it was inconvenient to use, but fortunately, Dinghai coins were all over the Daimyo's mansion, and they could be exchanged if they were found casually, and the efficiency was much better than the previous silver ticket.
In fact, this is also the benefit of standard coins, flying tickets and silver tickets, for the sake of security, it is generally necessary for the bank and the depositor to set up the key together, if there is a problem with either party, or miscommunication, the key can not be determined, and it cannot be exchanged.
In this regard, the money bank is also for their own safety and the safety of the depositors, and often the users can only do this, who makes the money important?
But there is no comparison, there is no harm, Dinghai coin, itself is a metal currency, the people can judge the authenticity, the personnel of the money village is even more so, and even in addition to the already public, on the Dinghai coin, there are several other anti-counterfeiting, but because of the higher requirements, only professionals can see.
The staff of the money village have undergone professional training, and even everyone has handled no less than 100,000 Dinghai coins, almost to the point that they can be seen at a glance, and they have already prepared a string of copper coins, 100 strings, a Dinghai coin, for 1, it is really much, and it can be given directly to consistently, all of which are sealed.
This greatly speeds up the efficiency, with a Dinghai currency, as long as it is not in the case of queuing, up to 100 interest time, you can complete the exchange, without considering what signature to draw a pledge, or something else, to give the money to change, which strengthens the circulation, the people's confidence in him is enough.
After use, the convenience of all aspects has brought about the wide circulation of Dinghai coins, which are convenient and fast, and easy to identify, which has become synonymous with Dinghai coins, and even with the Daimyo Mansion, it began to radiate outward.
Of course, it will be difficult to monitor the things in circulation, especially things like fine iron, in Wang Song's channel through the Imperial City Division, there are rumors that some people in the Liao State and Western Xia are greatly active here.
What is their purpose, Zhao Xin knows very well, it is nothing more than two things, iron and fine iron.
The large amount of iron produced by the civilian business was not the same as before, and the supply could be opened up, and it could be bought with money, and at the same time, the price of iron was reduced on a large scale.
The price of 80 Wen is for the price before the Northern Song Dynasty, the smelting level before the Northern Song Dynasty is already quite high, but the Western Xia and the Liao State are much worse, the price of iron in the Liao State is as high as 220 Wen, almost three times that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia, there is no iron material for sale, and occasionally there are sold over, as high as more than 500 Wen.
Iron materials were in the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as you had money, you could buy them, but this was strictly forbidden in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was no way to take them out, because the target was too big, and these spies might be able to get them in small batches, hundreds of catties, or thousands of catties, and it would be impossible to get more.
A few hundred catties and thousands of catties, what can be calculated, a pair of heavy armor, more than 50 catties, 1000 catties is only 20 sets, which is a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of heavy cavalry, and there are still certain problems.
That is, a large amount of iron out of the customs, as long as there is one time, this line will be scrapped, occasionally it works, it is okay, in the long run, there will definitely be problems.
On the contrary, the Dinghai coin made of fine iron has become a better choice, the price is a little more expensive, but the fine iron is not the same as iron, even if it is only a thousand catties, it is enough to play a role, 500 fine iron to make weapons, and even the head of a long weapon, can make a small-scale army, reborn, and greatly increase its strength.
The mention of the Imperial City Division was also through Wang Song, telling Zhao Xin that he should be careful and monitor it strictly, so as not to let Western Xia and Liao Guo get over.
For this, Zhao Xin is noncommittal, if stainless steel is made into a weapon, it is indeed stronger than the previous divine weapon, but what is the use of this, with the combination of the fortress and the longbow, the role of the weapon is reduced very little, not to mention, this thing, without a little smelting level, even if it is smelting, it is impossible, let alone build them.
Zhao Xin didn't even say anything, he directly hit Wang Song, and asked him to ask Cao Di to write a book, he believed that Cao Di had already tested it, as long as he told him that he could not be smelted, there would be no other problems.
Even the Dinghai coin, which is difficult to smelt at the level of the Northern Song Dynasty, can only be used as currency for the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms, and if they really want it, he is even willing to give them more.
