Chapter 123: The Mint, a Letter from Far Away

The 5 yuan banknote arranges the male master in history, and the 10 yuan banknote is naturally the world of the old Zhu family.

The plan on this banknote, but no one dares to put forward half a word of opinion.

In the end, Zhu Fugui drew four people on the 10 yuan banknote, which is also the prototype of the future sculpture on the Daming Rock.

The first one in line is Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Fugui will not take the popular portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on the face of the shoehorn on the Internet.

Instead, he made a bust of the chubby old man Zhu Yuanzhang.

Comrade Zhu is also half a son-in-law, and he looks even more stumbling than Zhao Benshan, Guo Zixing should be embarrassed to marry the daughter of the deceased to him.

Anyway, it is reasonable, Zhu Fugui will not agree with the portrait of the shoehorn face, see one, burn one.

The second person on the banknote is Zhu Yunwen.

How so......

Zhu Fugui really doesn't have a good impression of this cheap ancestor, but Zhu Laosi is more in line with Zhu Fugui's appetite.

But as a human being, there are some positions that cannot be chosen.

So the image of a little Confucian with red lips and white teeth was also printed on the banknote.

It's just that compared with the three burly men on the side, Zhu Yunwen's sense of existence is very weak, like a small gas bag.

Speaking of burly men, the third and fourth places are naturally Zhu Fugui and his son.

According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Fugui changed the year name, he had already given him a cheap father, and he was also named the emperor, and the temple name was Ming Liezong, in order to show filial piety.

Martyrs, such as Emperor Zhaolie of the Ji Han Dynasty, have died without breaking down, and have no regrets despite all difficulties.

Comrade Zhu Liangjiao's life is a life of continuous struggle for the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, a life of moving forward with a heavy burden for the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty, and a life of supreme glory and incomparably bright!

On the banknote, Zhu Liangjiao, that is, Zhu Youcai, is far from the image of the 300-pound fat landlord, but the image of a muscular macho man.

Zhu Fugui referred to the painting style of the Hong Kong comic "Legend of the Son of Heaven" and reshaped the body of the cheap father.

To put it simply, it is to put the head of an elegant and handsome middle-aged uncle on the body of a Super Saiyan, and he looks old and domineering.

As for Zhu Fugui's own image in the end, it is more realistic.

Who made Zhu Fugui a handsome guy himself?

According to the original photo, it is a young man who is in the wind of a jade tree, and it is an exaggeration to add more strokes.

With the exception of the Ming Treasure Banknote, the other two currencies are silver coins.

One is the currency used for internal circulation, imitating the style of Yuan Datou to cast the "Ming Emperor Statue Back Jiahe Silver Coins", also called "Dewu Tongbao".

A Dewu Tongbao is equivalent to 371.25 grains (24.057 grams) of sterling silver or 24.75 grains (1.6038 grams) of pure gold, which is the same weight as today's Spanish silver dollars.

The Spanish silver dollar can be said to be the global currency of this era, stiffer and stronger than the pound.

As the war rages on, the Spanish dollar has gradually become an important currency for the north and south of the United States.

Because the value of a Spanish dollar is exactly close to one dollar, or the dollar was originally designed to benchmark against the Spanish dollar, the Spanish dollar is very convenient to use.

Nowadays, many private banks, even official banks, are secretly stockpiling Spanish silver dollars as reserves.

There is also a trend among the American people to exchange banknotes for Spanish silver dollars, and there is no way to stop the car.

Therefore, the third currency minted by Zhu Fugui was the Spanish silver dollar.

Originally, Zhu Fugui planned to directly counterfeit US dollar bills.

However, a large number of US dollars are not so easy to sell these days, and there are many risk factors for the large-scale use of counterfeit money.

Therefore, it is better to directly mint Spanish silver dollars.

The silver dollar is a hard currency, and even if the Spanish government falls, it will not affect the value of the Spanish silver dollar.

Moreover, the gold-silver ratio in the nineteenth century remained around 15:1, while the gold-silver ratio in later generations was close to 70:1.

There is 4-5 times the arbitrage space in it.

This coinage tax is simply cooler than that of the American imperialism of later generations.

And because metal currency itself is value currency, theoretically, as long as the materials are consistent, there is no such thing as counterfeit currency, and Zhu Fugui will not even be prosecuted by the law.

Of course, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he himself does not want to be prosecuted by the laws of Western countries.

In short, with the completion of a small factory in a hidden valley in the middle of the Tenglong Mountains to the west of Xinfeng City, the Ming Dynasty's silver dollar offensive finally began.

This currency production plant, which was equipped with die-casting machines and printing presses that were ahead of the times, was one of the top secrets of the Ming Dynasty, and was under the military control of the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Division.

Due to his excellent performance in the two battles, as well as his cold-spoken style, Yin Weasel is now transferred from the Royal Army by Zhu Fugui to serve as the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town.

After a series of run-ins and set changes, Zhu Fugui finally determined the final function of Jinyiwei.

If the Ming Army is a regular field army, then Jinyiwei is an armed police officer who also has foreign espionage work.

The functions of the two divisions after the positioning of the north and south divisions are respectively corresponded as follows.

Nanzhen Fusi: gold, hydropower, forest, transportation, fire and other troops.

Beizhen Fusi: espionage, internal security, guard, coast guard, border defense and other troops.

Generally speaking, the South Town Fu Division is more functional, and the North Town Fu Division is more armed, and they are commanded by Yin Weasel and Qi Wenchang respectively.

Of course, now the Royal Army is short of soldiers, and the Jinyi Guard units are basically in a state of no one.

The Nanzhen Fusi Golden Army became the first Jinyi Guard unit to have an entire number of 100 households.

In addition to being responsible for minting coins and maintaining the absolute security and confidentiality of the mint, the future gold troops will also be responsible for the task of exploring a variety of mineral resources in the territory of Daming.

Because it was a militarized management, the implementation of the mint was very fast.

On November 25, the first treasure banknote and the first silver dollar of the new Ming Dynasty were handed over to Zhu Fugui's desk.

Looking at the four sons of heaven who were separated by four hundred years from the old Zhu family on the treasure banknote, Zhu Fugui couldn't help but sigh at the ruthless changes of the years.

If Wuzhen is the son of pure filial piety, Lao Zhu has to become a shoehorn face, Yun Wei Lao Zu wants to fall in love with a female spy, and his father is just a dead fat man who is not remembered!

So, inheritance is really important.

Shaking his head, Zhu Fugui looked at another Dewu Tongbao.

Putting it in his hand and playing with it, Zhu Fugui couldn't help but worry a little about whether it would really be called "Zhu Datou" in the future.

No one in the Ming Dynasty in this era will dare to say this, but one or two hundred years later, the [honest antique merchant Xiao Erhei] may not be.

I don't know if my descendants can keep the prestige of the Lord of Zhongxing!

After ordering the first Dewu Tongbao and the first Daming Treasure banknote to be put away in the window, Zhu Fugui picked up another "Spanish Silver Dollar" and turned it upside down, and the weight was really similar to that of Dewu Tongbao.

This kind of silver dollar, also known as the double-column silver dollar, is actually quite common in China and is a veritable world currency.

With the discovery of large silver mines in South America, more than 68 million taels of silver flowed into China between 1681 and 1833, or 100 million silver dollars, most of which were double-column silver dollars, and the silver dollars that entered after 1833 were mainly in Mexico.

Zhu Fugui cast this thing for temporary use.

It's nothing more than trying to keep it secret.

When there is no need for secrecy in the future, there is no need to mint these Spanish silver dollars or Mexican eagles, but directly use the equivalent Dewu Tongbao.

Even if it is a regime hostile to the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible not to accept the silver dollar of the Ming Dynasty, which is the power of precious metal currency.

At this moment, he was more than a little rich, and Zhu Fugui felt as if he had suddenly become the protagonist of Shenhao's article.

All that's left is to buy, buy, buy!

Just as Zhu Fugui was about to order someone to inform Donald to enter the palace for an audience, a palace maid walked in with a letter from New York in her hand.
