After everyone left, Chen Chen began to conceive of his plan.

This outflow of funds is indeed very normal in the process of the development of the commodity economy, but it is not normal for a large amount of capital outflow, after all, it is heavy metal currencies such as gold and silver that go out.

So the outflow of gold must be curbed.

"Brother Huang, I heard that you are going to make a new product again?" As the craftsmen had left, the King of Joy stepped into the house with a fan in his hand.

Seeing him appear here, Chen Chen couldn't help frowning: "Didn't I ask you to check the outflow of funds, why did you come here." ”

Chen Biao showed his white teeth and smiled: "Brother Huang, you can't let me check it myself, I have a lot of things on my hands, by the way, what are you going to make, it's mysterious." ”

"I'm going to make paper, and then I'm going to issue paper money, and use paper money instead of gold and silver to circulate in Dongshui." Chen Chen lowered his head and was busy designing the pattern of the banknote.

"What? Paper? What is paper? The King of Joy listened to this thing, and an expression of interest appeared on his face.

Chen Chen raised his head and thought about it, and said in words that Chen Biao could understand: "Paper, is a thin sheet made of plant fibers, used for painting, printing books and newspapers, packaging, etc., light and convenient, once the paper comes out, then bamboo slips and silk cloth have to withdraw from the stage of history." ”

"Oh, it's so amazing? There's a lot to be written about! If you knew it earlier, you would have invented it as soon as possible, why wait until now, this bamboo slip is weird and tiring! As soon as he heard Chen Chen's description of the paper, Chen Biao was suddenly unhappy, why did he hide such a good thing.

Chen Chen smiled helplessly: "Isn't this king stumped by the construction and development of Dongshui, and today he is going to issue a new currency, so he remembered that there is no paper here." Alas, speaking of evil, others invented paper for the convenience of writing, but this king invented paper for the sake of making money. "The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm too ......

Holding the pen to draw the picture and text, Chen Chen carefully looked at the front and back patterns.

Front: The blank space on the left is used to mark the amount, there are two big characters in the upper left corner, and the lower left corner is the appearance of five grenades, representing that Dongshui must rely on force to strengthen the country. On the right is a seal of the prince of Dongshui, and below the mark is the meaning of "money" written in English - money, this English mark is specially designed by Chen Chen to distinguish the authenticity and prevent criminals from forgery.

On the reverse side, on the left is a map of the Dongshui Peninsula, on the right is a map of the Dongshui Islands, which is intended to warn everyone that we have the sea behind us and that we have no way out.

When Chen Chen told Chen Biao about the design of this coin, Chen Biao laughed: "Brother Huang really has a heart, and he has specially made a symbol to distinguish the authenticity, even if this set of banknotes is issued, they can't counterfeit it, after all, isn't papermaking in the hands of the official?" ”

Chen Chen nodded: "That's what I said, but just in case, okay, as for the amount, let's set it to one, five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred, and then issue some 1,000 yuan for big businessmen, and then you will be responsible for issuing these banknotes." ”

"Remember, Dongshui Bank will do its best to control the outflow of funds and get banknotes in circulation as soon as possible."

Chen Biao nodded: "Don't worry, as for how to promote, I have a way." ”

Three days passed, and the Ministry of Industry sent someone to report that the paper for issuing the currency had been made, and the size and size had been completed according to the instructions.

Chen Chen took out the currency imprint that he had stepped up to make and led people to the location of the Ministry of Industry quickly.

"Lord Wang, the first time I made this, the time is tight, and I have failed many times, I hope that the prince will atone for his sins." When the senior member of the Ministry of Industry saw that the prince was coming, he hurriedly bowed his head and asked for guilt, and reported the progress and results of the recent work.

Chen Chen touched the latest banknotes and smiled slightly: "It's hard work, it meets the requirements of this king, okay, this is the seal, you cover it, red on the front and black on the back." ”

"Ah, yes." Several workers took the imprint and stamped it on the paper, and then handed it to Chen Chen with both hands.

Chen Chen took the banknote, looked at the pictures and sizes, and was very satisfied: "It's good, it's good." ”

After encouraging everyone and saying some words of recognition and praise, Chen Chen left.

When leaving, Chen Chen specially told the personnel in charge of supervising the army, so that they should supervise well and prevent the leakage of money, and the army people naturally agreed to this, did not dare to slack off, and conscientiously supervised the work of the Ministry of Industry.

A few days passed, and under Chen Chen's arrangement, these currencies finally entered the market through the exchange of Dongshui Bank, which caused a shock in the Dongshui Financial Center and the ups and downs of the market for a while, and even affected the mood of some foreign forces.

"What the hell is this, it doesn't have any value, it just came out like this, who wants it."

"You be quiet, this is issued by the prince and the bank, once people hear it, then there will be a lawsuit for you."

"If you eat a lawsuit, you will eat a lawsuit, I have worked hard for so long, but in exchange for this, I can't get the heavy gold and silver, I am not sure."

…………

Compared with the strong reaction of the people, the Dongshui merchant group was very calm, without any suspicion or panic.

"What do you think of the prince's monetary reform?"

"I think it's very good, it's convenient, it's so much money in one pocket, it's so convenient."

"Yes, all this money is circulated in the market, we share the fate of Dongshui, and we are not afraid that the prince will trap us."

"That is, if the outflow of funds is controlled, our gold can be concentrated in Dongshui, and with the protection of Dongshui, we are not afraid of anything........."

…………

A large number of discussions came one after another, the market fell into a chaos, the king of Xiaoyao in the face of these situations could not help but be anxious, and even wanted to stop the progress of the banknotes and issuance many times, officials from all over the country also wrote to hope to stop this activity, but all of them were severely stopped by Chen Chen.

Anyone who dared to talk about this issuance activity, and those who dared to spread rumors and cause trouble, were all sent to prison by Yang Cheng for reform, and for a time prisons in various parts of Dongshui were overcrowded.

"Brother Huang, it's all this time, and prisons everywhere can't be stuffed with people, do you still want to be so stubborn?" King Xiaoyao hurriedly stepped into the hall and looked at Chen Chen seriously and eagerly.

Chen Chen held the wine glass tightly: "What?" Can't sit still? Sooner or later, the cancer of gold outflow will attack, so the long pain is better than the short pain to cut the tumor as soon as possible. ”

"As the chief official of Dongshui's finance, you have also seen that with the circulation of paper money, although it has caused chaos and more criminals have taken advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, hasn't a large amount of gold and silver entered the treasury and banks? The process is not smooth, but the result is good, so no matter how messy it is, the king can accept it. ”

"But ......"

"No, but, see for yourself what the spies have heard." Chen Chen raised his hand and put a few pieces of silk cloth into Chen Biao's hand.

Chen Biao, the king of leisure, opened the silk cloth in disbelief, and his brows suddenly relaxed: "So the main reason is that the spies of other countries incite public opinion, and the major merchants in Dongshui don't have any thoughts and disgusts?" As long as the big businessmen of Dongshui do not react, then this is easy to say. ”

Chen Chen drank his saliva slowly, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, this king's move is for the good of Dongshui, they are all understanding people, so naturally there will be no trouble." However, this move completely cut off the financial routes of Chen Guo and other countries, and as paper money circulated with them, they could not get gold and silver, so they naturally became angry. ”

Chen Biao nodded and smiled: "What is the imperial brother going to do now?" ”

"What else can I do? General Yang has already found out the manipulator behind the scenes by arresting people, and when the time comes, it will be all in one place, and your bank will publicize the use and advantages of paper money as soon as possible, understand? ”

"It must be emphasized that a dollar is a piece of silver, five cents is half a piece of silver, and a dime is a penny of silver, according to the exchange ratio of gold and silver to 100, a hundred yuan is a piece of gold, copper coins continue to circulate, and everything else remains the same."

"Yes." The King of Freedom nodded in agreement, relieved himself and quickly stepped out of the capital of Tianzhou, and went straight to the bank.
