If you want to print a batch of banknotes, this problem is actually not difficult to solve, the most difficult problem to solve is not to print banknotes, but how to issue and circulate, especially how to circulate smoothly.

If you want to get the people to exchange the copper money in their hands for paper money, this is equivalent to taking food from their mouths, and it is very difficult to implement it if you want to make them obey.

Wanting to issue paper money in ancient times can definitely be regarded as a crazy idea, and this crazy idea is not inferior to the reforms of the plane prince Wang Mang.

Coming to modern civilization again and traveling lightly is a great change that instantly feels the vicissitudes of thousands of years. From an agrarian society to a scientific and technological civilized society, the span of this is unimaginable in the entire historical development. When the country is not yet strong, the first thing to solve is the core problem, to stabilize the currency in circulation, and make private coinage an impossible thing.

A.D. 2017, December.

It was rainy in the south, and this situation was intermittent. This is the place where Mei Xiaohan landed this time. It is a special economic zone that has been developed for more than a century and has given birth to a special economic system that cultivates all the nutrients that belong to the soil and are suitable for it.

With the advent of the payment era, paper money is no longer used in large-amount settlements, but directly virtual pricing, and money has become a virtual thing, but this virtual thing can buy real items. In the eyes of contemporary people, this is already a sparse and ordinary thing.

Despite this, the circulation of paper money still occupies a dominant position, and every dollar has to be circulated hundreds of times a year, and the rapid circulation of paper money has led to the economic development of the place.

Mei Xiaohan walked into a noodle shop, he no longer needed to carry a large amount of copper coins with him, and there was no longer a cashier here. Mei Xiaohan can choose to make a third-party payment, or she can choose to pay directly with paper money.

The recognition of these banknotes does not mean that they have real value, because behind them there is a strong government that supports the circulation of these banknotes.

Behind the scenes, there is an invisible hand that controls these banknotes, and to counterfeit or mint them is so costly that the gains outweigh the losses. Whoever controls the right to issue banknotes holds the lifeblood of the economy.

This time, the purpose and direction are very clear, that is, "looking for a currency foundry" to make their own banknotes, no... Banknotes belonging to this new country that will be born.

Although this reform will be very difficult...

In a café, Mei Xiaohan was meeting with the bigwigs of a currency printing factory, and they were talking about the issue of paper currency printing.

Since it was not designed and printed for paper money in circulation in the country and in all countries today, it was quickly approved, after all, no one will have trouble with money, as long as you can make money, what is the problem in helping to design the currency?

When printing small and large denominations, the printing cost of small and large bills is actually not much different.

The cost of a modern 1 yuan coin is about 95 cents, and the 1 yuan note is also a little more than 9 jiao.

The cost of 100 yuan is much lower, which is printed in large quantities by gravure printing press (web paper series), which is basically the cost of paper and the cost of ink, of course, the investment in plate making and printing press is also very large, but it can be used for a long time as a one-time investment, and there is depreciation.

Counting the cost of paper alone, the cost of a 100 yuan piece is about 0.38 to 0.4 yuan, which is about four cents.

Reasonable combined costs should be low, and money printing technology and materials are monopolized, so it is difficult to calculate reasonable costs using their selling prices.

As long as the banknotes can be issued and circulated normally, and those copper coins and silver are recovered, the price of the banknotes issued is negligible.

"It's a big project!"

Rather than talking about the conditions of a middle-aged businessman dressed up, maybe it was the first time he had seen such a strange list, most of the orders he received in the past were some printed matter, but this time, it was far beyond his imagination, no... It should be said that it exceeded his expectations.

No one has ever thought of printing banknotes, and it's a strange country that sounds like an ancient empire, and generally doesn't have much interrogation about the conditions and requirements of customers.

Because after all, this involves the core thing, and the businessman himself knows it in his heart after doing business for so long.

Mei Xiaohan asked, "I don't think this constitutes a crime, right?" ”

The merchant said, "Of course not, the banknotes you print can only be regarded as handicrafts, because they do not belong to any country." ”

"Although I am very curious, I know the rules of the industry, and I will not ask what I shouldn't ask."

"But I'm really curious, I'm very curious why you suddenly have such crazy ideas?"

In the whole agrarian society, the commodity economy is in the embryonic stage of development, and commerce is far from being developed, and in some places it is even a charity trade. Undoubtedly, whether Mei Xiaohan's coin reform plan can be circulated is still a question, but he wants to give it a try anyway.

This is not to say that everything in the past is rotten, but that it was once a better system than it was in a particular era. However, in ancient Chinese society, the practice of minting copper coins without permission has been rampant, and it is even difficult to manage.

If a newly established political regime does not have a complete economic system, even if the country's territory is intact, it will be very difficult to develop, and the common people will forever sink to the bottom of society, and the commodity economy will not develop, which will restrict the development of science and technology and light industry.

Science and technology is a huge productive force, relying on the dream of one person, or the dream of a group of people, is just a drop in the ocean, the use of scientific and technological knowledge, in order to quickly change this appearance.

Sometimes, development is not all smooth sailing, development is also accidental, and there is no political system or economic system that is the best. Everything is in constant trying.

The avatar printed on the banknote is not Mei Xiaohan herself, but the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, farming, textiles, transportation, transportation, and other patterns that ordinary people can understand, these patterns they can not only understand, but also look very kind.

Paper money is bundled with large bundles, and now they are just ordinary paper, and when the day of the founding of the country begins, these ordinary papers will play a different role.

Unusual, the first battle Mei Xiaohan wanted to fight was "Heart Attack!" ”
