Chapter 336: Commemorative Coins

Compared with the banknotes issued by the Oriental Port, the naturalized people and the natives believed in silver coins more, so the silver coins were never completely withdrawn from the stage, and the exquisite production of the Oriental Port silver coins has always been the target of the local aborigines. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPlease search to see the most complete! Although the number of banknotes circulating in the Oriental Port market is relatively large, it is directly linked to the existing silver reserves of the Oriental Port, and in order to prevent hyperinflation, the financial sector cannot directly print and issue banknotes, and the required amount of banknotes can only be issued after ensuring the silver reserves.

But now, by reducing the size of the silver coin, the original weight of 22.5 grams of one-dollar coin shrunk to only 17.5 grams, such a small trick succeeded in shrinking the volume of the silver coin by almost 23 percent, so that the original 100 yuan of silver could be issued at this time 123 yuan, and for no reason brought a huge profit to the Senate. At the same time, these commemorative coins are no more likely to be collected than circulating coins, and a large amount of silver in circulation can be fixed in Oriental Harbor to prevent circulation. The simultaneous circulation of banknotes and coins can also stimulate domestic production and consumption by quietly increasing the amount of banknotes issued, causing a slight currency depreciation.

In addition to silver coins, copper coins were also produced in the mint. The copper used in the coins is mainly brass made of the same material as the brass shells that are now being mass-produced, and the main sources of this copper are copper mines brought in from overseas by the Medenor people, or smelted from recycled indigenous copper coins. One of the most popular is the Japanese copper coins shipped from Meideno, the Japanese minted copper coins in a different way than the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty used a ratio of copper six lead four, while the Japanese used a ratio of copper eight zinc two, the copper content of the Japanese copper coins is much more than that of the Wu Dynasty copper coins. And the most incredible thing is that at this time, one dollar of silver coins in Dongfang Port can only be exchanged for ten copper coins or one hundred copper coins, but in Japan, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for more than 1,200 copper coins. Even if it is four Japanese copper coins, it can only be used as the weight of a dime of copper coins in Oriental Port, and at this time, this price has also thrown off the eight streets of Oriental Port, and a large number of Maidno merchants have begun to use Oriental Port silver coins to exchange for copper coins in Japan, and then sell the copper coins directly to Oriental Port as industrial raw materials.

Originally, this was a means of directly disrupting the financial environment, and if it were an illegal act of buying and selling financial currency in the old time and space, but here, the industrial sector of the Oriental Port succeeded in defeating the indignation of the financial sector. You must know that because of the serious defects in smelting of the Japanese, it is difficult for them to refine the silver associated with zinc, so not only does these copper coins contain about 20% of zinc, but also can extract a small amount of silver from them. Therefore, for the merchants who directly sold scarce industrial raw materials, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade directly settled in silver coins.

Miro held the silver coin in his hand at this time, and stared closely at the ten punch presses in the entire factory are rhythmically producing silver and copper coins, and the stamped coins fall into the trolley on the side along the slot, and the trolley is sent to the back counting table as soon as it is full, and the female workers sitting behind the counting table are skillfully checking whether the coins are complete and whether the patterns on them are clear. They then wrapped the coins in groups of twenty pieces of red paper, weighed them, stamped them on the outer packaging of the paper, and placed them in a cart to be transported.

"How much do you produce a day here?" Mi Luo was already dazzled by the silver coins piled on the table, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, Liu Yeqiang smiled and said, "It depends on the issuance task, generally a press can stamp out thirty-five to forty silver coins per minute, and copper coins are a little faster, about fifty pieces per minute, as long as the material is continuous, ten machines can produce more than 500,000 silver coins 24 hours a day." ”

Myro shuddered for a moment, and his heart was cold, the plan he had come up with at the beginning to buy the silver of Dongfang Harbor had been directly punctured by the facts he had seen with his own eyes. Although I don't know how much silver reserves there are in Dongfang Port at this time, as far as they are transporting industrial raw materials in large quantities now, in fact, they can't get much silver out at all. And what is annoying is that these Chinese can have other sales channels, such as selling by land to Annam and Wu Dynasty, Wu Dynasty is the largest market in the world, with this huge silver black hole as a backer, the industrial products of Dongfang Port are not worried about selling at all, and what makes people even more annoying is that even if the Meideno people really start a full-scale war with China, send troops to block sea traffic, just the kind of smooth road they have seen during the day today, with cattle and horses pulling can transport a large number of industrial raw materials to Dongfang Port, People are not afraid of a naval blockade at all.

Not to mention that it is obvious that Dongfang Port is developing inland, although the exact location of today's special investigation team training base is not clear, but it is obviously in the vicinity of the dwarf dun dun mountain, and looking at the road leading to the dwarf dun dun mountain that has been walked today, there will be no fewer people coming and going during this time, it should be that the Dongfang Port is building a new urban area. In the future, even if the port of Vostochny is blocked, the naval guns of the Medeno Navy will not be able to threaten their production base. Besides, with their sailless and oar-free iron ships, it is really hard to say whether the Meidenor Navy can please them. The Medeno people are not good at sea, let alone land warfare, which they are not good at.

Today, I have seen the 1629 rifles, carbines and revolvers used by the special reconnaissance team, and I have also conducted live ammunition shooting. As he thought, the Chinese firearms were not only powerful and long-range, the carbine used the same bullet as the revolver, but also had a fast rate of fire and was far faster and safer to reload than the Yaning musket. It is no exaggeration to say that a person with a firearm in Dongfanggang can easily deal with three or four people with Yaning muskets, and if the distance is about four hundred meters, it is not a problem to deal with ten.

When Liu Yeqiang saw Miro standing on the ground blankly with the silver coin in his hand, he knew that he had successfully demonstrated the power of Dongfang Port in front of him. If you want to smash a conspiracy, the most straightforward way is to show your strong power directly in front of this conspiracy, as the saying goes, one force will drop ten, in the face of powerful power, no matter how many tricks are just tricks, as long as they crush the past, no matter how strong the conspiracy is, it is scum.

Compared with the banknotes issued by Dongfang Port, the naturalized people and natives believe in silver coins, so silver coins have never been able to completely withdraw from the stage, and the exquisite production of Dongfang Port silver coins has always been the target of local aborigines. Although the amount of banknotes circulating in the Oriental Port market is relatively large, it is directly linked to the existing silver reserves of the Oriental Port, and in order to prevent hyperinflation, the financial sector cannot directly print and issue banknotes, and the required amount of banknotes can only be issued after ensuring the silver reserves.

Xiao Lihua took a box from a table not far away at this time, and handed the box to Miro's hand with both hands, and Miro looked down blankly, and the box was written in Chinese "Commemorative Coin for the Establishment of the Foreign Legion of the Chinese Senate." He couldn't help but open it slowly, and saw a row of coins inside, a silver coin with a face value of one dollar on the far left, a half-dollar coin in the middle, and a dime, a five-cent and a one-cent coin on the right. The coins lay quietly on the red velvet cloth mat, and they looked so radiant that for a moment Miro almost seemed to be blinded.

After the land hatred, the hatred of the land and the hatred of the war and the auspicious ghost grandson

"How much is this worth?" Mi Luo couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, Xiao Lihua pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "It's okay, it's not that valuable, it's just a face value, and the other is that this box is worth two dimes." I personally gave it to you, didn't I say today that I would give you a set of commemorative coins? You have to keep this set, it's definitely commemorative, you see. Saying that, Xiao Lihua pointed to the words "No. 001" written on the corner of the lid of the box and said, "This is the first set of commemorative coins of the Foreign Legion, and I took it in the production workshop, the absolute first set." ”

Where does Miro still care about this? Now all he could think about was how to defeat an opponent of this size. To say that the Zheng He fleet of the Wu Dynasty was strong, but they only went to sea to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, and they did not come to compete with the Medeno people for the supremacy of the sea, so after that sea battle, the Wu Dynasty directly gave up the struggle for sea power, and even directly destroyed the production plan of the treasure ship, and never became the opponent of the Medeno people. But now these Chinese who suddenly appeared really made him feel the existence of a threat, these people have far more production power than the Yaning people, and the weapons produced are sharp, making up for the shortcomings of the number of soldiers, even the sea power. What he can observe now are two sharp ships in use, five iron clippers and three or four junk ships, the total number of the navy will not exceed 1,200 people, although the army strength cannot be seen, but to maintain the defense of such a large city, generally speaking, it will take at least about 2,000 troops to do it, not to mention that they have just carried out a large-scale operation to suppress bandits in the whole territory of Anyun, this news is mentioned in a "Oriental Port Monthly" that he happened to see in the guest room of the Oriental Port Guest House. It is even mentioned that on May 1, there will be a May Day military parade to celebrate the victory of the anti-bandit campaign, and at the same time, all personnel will have a two-day holiday to celebrate the first collective wedding of the Senate here.

At that moment, he settled down and asked Xiao Lihua, "I wonder if I can visit your May Day parade?" Liu Yeqiang on the side was stunned for a moment, "How do you know about the May Day military parade?" ”

Miro smiled blankly and said, "It's from the newspaper in the guest room, I want to see it, can I?" He paused and asked, "Will you still issue commemorative coins then?" ”

Sun Yuandi's hatred of ghosts and enemies is based on the cold moon

"It won't be issued...... Liu Yeqiang smiled and said, "The issuance time of the two commemorative coins is too close, and there is a conflict." In fact, he didn't dare to say anything, today's batch of commemorative coins was originally only produced 1,000 sets, and now many punches are quietly slowing down the pace of production, or quietly changing the mold to produce circulating coins. The silver reserves of Dongfang Port at this time are still a little insufficient, and today's production is purely to show the terrible industrial productivity of Dongfang Port in front of Miro, a spy of Dongfang Port, to deter it, if Miro does not leave quickly, there will soon be no materials to continue production.

At this time, Miro, who returned to room 208 of the guest house, of course, did not know that Khrushchev in the old time and space used this method to make the Americans believe that the Soviets could produce nuclear missiles like sausages, so they did not dare to start a war. With just ten machine tools, it is capable of producing half a million silver coins a day. In the case of the Mints of Medno and Yaning, the ability to mint 5,000 silver coins a day is already high. He had already seen the musket bullets of the Oriental Harbor, and presumably there were special machines that could produce them exactly the same size, without any difference. If there are enough materials, it is possible to produce tens of thousands of bullets a day, not to mention those fine muskets. If they fight with Dongfang Port, they can gather enough troops in a short period of time, and they also have enough weapons to arm them, and with such industrial strength, I am afraid that the troops mobilized by Annan will not be enough to stuff their teeth at all.

So how exactly do you deal with such a formidable enemy? He couldn't sleep at all, pacing around the room incessantly, unable to think of a way, and finally he let out a sigh of relief, wrote a few paragraphs in pencil in the notebook he had just bought, and received it in his belongings.

"If only he had an accomplice." At this time, the example and Ren Xuefeng were sitting in room 209 and whispered, Ren Xuefeng glanced at the example and shook his head, "People must know that the partition wall has ears, otherwise why just write a few words in the notebook and go to sleep?" As he spoke, he replayed the video again, but the handwriting on the notebook in the picture was not legible at all, and he had to give up after analyzing it a few times.

In fact, there was a special intention to arrange for Miro to stay in room 208, and room 208 of the guest house is a special room that has been renovated, which is not only equipped with cameras, but also microphones, and the monitoring team is in room 209 next door, not only can every move be seen clearly, but even a fart will be recorded.

"You think beautiful," Paradigm shook his head, "People are just one person, and they don't have multiple personalities, so they always talk to themselves when they have nothing to do, does it hurt to be an egg?" ”

"You mean two people are going to be chattering here? Say everything we want to know? Ren Xuefeng continued nonchalantly.

"This man is different from the Medenor people we usually see, he has a lot of brains, and his eyes are more ghostly, and he seems to be able to think of many things that ordinary people can't think of. If he can bring an accomplice, then he will definitely discuss what happened today in the room, and by that time we will know what he wants to know and what he wants to know. ”

"So let's stuff someone for him?" Ren Xuefeng smiled lightly, "I heard Tang Xunliang say today that Ston seems to have some unusual feelings about this person, why don't we stuff Ston in and let the two of them chat?" ”
