Chapter 630 Issuance of banknotes

The advent of the monetary system greatly improved the convenience of people's lives, thus ending the trouble of bartering, through which people did not have to exchange goods for what they wanted.

The monetary system implemented in Australia has always been based on the silver standard, which is considering that the currencies of various countries during this period were basically silver as the currency.

From the middle of the Ming Dynasty onwards, large quantities of silver flowed into China through cargo ships, turning a silver-scarce country into a wealthy silver nation, and this situation did not end until the British knocked on China's door.

Therefore, during this period, most of the currencies used by Australian merchants and Ming merchants to pay for goods were mainly silver, although silver was a good thing, but with the trade surplus, a large amount of silver flowed into Australia, which was also a big trouble.

How to solve the currency problem was submitted to the agenda, Daming has treasure money, but the treasure money is not even used by the Ming people themselves, and considering that the current printing technology is not as high as that of later generations, so many people have been against the use of paper money, after all, the difficulty of paper money counterfeiting is too low.

But with the increase of trade exchanges, every time the goods are sold, a large amount of silver will be loaded back to China has become a headache for many businessmen, once the silver enters the port, according to the import and export trade system, there are strict restrictions on the entry and exit of the advanced carrying, once exceeded, not only to be investigated but also to increase a part of the tax.

Therefore, most people can keep their money overseas and try not to bring it back, but the bank still has to ship some silver back to the mainland for the sake of currency circulation.

The size of the silver used in various countries is different, and the weight is not the same, in order to facilitate everyone's use in the future, the Australian pen factory specially made a large number of silver ingots from one or two to one hundred taels, just to make it convenient for everyone to use.

However, in terms of convenience, there is still no convenience for banknotes, which are light and not heavy at all in the pocket. Silver is different, not only does it occupy a lot of space, but especially if you want to buy a big object, you have to carry a large bag of silver on the street, sometimes it is inconvenient to hire a small car, and the most important thing is that it is not safe to hold so much money in your hands.

Although the security environment in Australia has always been very good, after all, it still makes people feel a little worried, so no one wants to spend so much money.

In order to solve the problem of public consumption, the application of banknotes has been put on the agenda, led by the Australian Treasury and Manchester City Bank. Added to the research on the application of paper money, the reason why paper money has not been used on a large scale is entirely because of the problem of printing technology, so it has been denied.

If this problem can be solved technically, it can still be well applied, so to solve the technical problem, it is necessary to let the Commission of Science and Technology come forward, how to prevent the appearance of counterfeit money, and paper stamp duty waterproofing and other problems need to be solved.

In fact, waterproofing is an important unit, to enter the water, the patterns and numbers printed on it are not dissolved by the water. This involves the science of chemical engineering, and the technology it contains is absolutely astonishing, even if you look at a small banknote.

Waterproof does not mean that it is okay to be completely immersed in water all the time, but it is okay to soak in water for a certain period of time. Therefore, to solve this problem, it is conceivable that there are different talents who have crossed the crowd, and there is no complete system of talents, and many things are actually pieced together by relying on everyone's efforts and memories.

So you have to solve the problem. Most of the time, it was the entire traversal group that began to solicit solutions that could be solved, and finally the problem that stumped a group of second-class scientists was solved by an immigrant. The immigrant suggested that since the tarpaulin is waterproof, why not apply a layer of oil wax to the banknote, which should also be waterproof.

This experiment confirmed that although it was not as effective in waterproofing as in later generations, the waterproofing effect was still quite good, at least for three hours without any problems, and most importantly, the pattern on the pattern would not be spent.

If the problem is solved, it should be printed in large quantities, and printing is not a problem for the public, and as soon as the steam printing press is started, the money will come out.

However, everyone has not reached an agreement on the design of the coin, some say that the portrait of Yan Huang should be used as the banknote pattern, but this is opposed by most people, no one has seen the true face of Yan and Huang, everyone has seen the image of the actor in the TV series, so it is not the same thing at all.

In the end, Hu Xijing proposed that it would be better to use Zhou Aiguo's portrait as the first edition of the banknote portrait, after all, he was the first president in the Australian sense, and it was also very commemorative.

This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, and everyone was very happy that they could appear on the commemorative coin, at least to prove that they were also famous in history, but the history of Australia is also clearly written 543 travel to the great names, in order to fabricate the historical origin of Australia, there is no less than those pseudo-historians to die.

Now the origin of Australia can be traced back to the farthest ancestors are the descendants of Yashan, the reason why only these people are left in the end is completely because of a major earthquake that finally buried hundreds of thousands of people in Australia, all ****** Australian Island sank, everyone took a giant ship and finally landed on this new continent, in order to commemorate the previous people, so named Australia Island, which means that it is an oasis encountered in the land of Australia.

This story made up by historians can be said to be a debate about where the real Australian island is located in various countries in the future, some say it is in the Mediterranean, some say it is the Americas, in short, the most effective evidence is Atlantis.

However, now these historical issues are not Hu Xijing and others should be in charge, they should now be in charge of how to do the implementation of this brother's banknotes, although the banknotes are easy to use, but it will take some time for the people to fully use them, and the credibility of the government by domestic citizens is still relatively easy to implement, but it may not be so easy overseas.

So this task is not much less difficult than the study of issuing banknotes, after all, compared with a pair of banknotes, which makes people see more impact, obviously banknotes are more impactful, so the implementation of banknotes, I am afraid that there is still a long way to go overseas, but with the ease of use of businessmen, it is estimated that the difficulty of the implementation in the end is not very large, the most important thing is that Hu Xijing has stopped the implementation of the task, as long as the horse, it is not completed, so the difficulty of the implementation of this banknote is actually not big.
