Sending away Luo Shitong and his party to the merchants of the Gale Country, Shen Mufeng set his sights on the coins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reform of coins is what Shen Mufeng has always wanted to do, replacing silver coins with paper money, Shen Mufeng has long thought about it, firstly, it can reduce the large loss of gold and silver, and secondly, Shen Mufeng himself lacks gold, after all, how Shen Mufeng doesn't care about the things in the exchange system.

Therefore, two years ago, the craftsman was asked to study the printing of currency, and after nearly two years of research and development, a complete set of banknote printing plates was finally produced.

In September of the 140th year of Great Xia, two major events occurred, Shen Mufeng's first arms deal was completed, and the newspapers were overwhelmingly publicized, and the details of the transaction and the amount of income were hyped.

And when the convoy carrying a large amount of grain slowly drove into Wanping, the people who saw it were shocked, one million taels of grain, that was quite a large grain transport team, soldiers in black military uniforms holding spears, guarding both sides of the grain team, and the grain trucks were so numerous that there was no end in sight.

The arrival of grain has greatly relieved the pressure on the grain of Wanping Pinglan and the two states, although Wanping Pinglan has not completely torn his face with Daxia, but after all, he was isolated by the imperial court and did not get the slightest assistance in food.

The second major event occurred in mid-September, when the banknotes were officially put into production, and the banknote printing plant in the mountains had been idle for more than half a year, and now it finally has a place to use.

The units of coins are composed of cents, and the denominations are one cent, five cents, one dime, five cents, one cent, five cents, one dollar, five dollars, ten dollars, and one hundred dollars.

Ten cents is equal to one dime, ten jiao is equal to one yuan, one cent is equivalent to one copper coin, and one yuan is equal to one tael of silver.

In the Wanshan Daily, it began to vigorously publicize that in the fifteen days from September 16 to September 30, the exchange will increase by 10 percent, that is, one tael of silver is equal to one yuan, and the exchange within these 15 days will be one yuan and one dime, and the additional income will be one dime.

As soon as the news in the newspaper spread, Wanping and Pinglan Erzhou suddenly exploded, some people felt that it was worth it, but some people felt that this was the silver in the hands of the people, turning the silver in their hands into paper, if something went wrong, wouldn't their silver be wasted.

After all, in the hearts of ordinary people, trust in silver is deep-rooted, and most people do not agree with this so-called paper money.

On the first day, there was very little exchange, and the two states exchanged less than 30,000 taels of silver in total, which made it difficult for the two banks in Wanping and Pinglan, but it was quickly solved by Shen Mufeng, Shen Mufeng's method was to let the army set an example, 200,000 people in the Southwest Military Region, these people can be said to be in awe of Shen Mufeng to the extreme, and for Shen Mufeng's order, it was unconditional obedience.

Think about it, what kind of life was it before, the people saw that they were hiding far away, and there were no requirements in life, to put it bluntly, it was to eat and wait for death, and when it came to war, it was the life of cannon fodder.

But now, everyone's mental state has changed, and even the thinking has been greatly improved, especially the respectful eyes of the common people, as well as the rich monthly salary, what are they not satisfied with, the death of a confidant, not to mention that everything they have is given by the chairman.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the garrisons of Wanping and Pinglan went to the bank to exchange paper money in batches, and the amount of money exchanged was quite a lot, as little as a dozen taels of silver, and as many as tens or hundreds of taels of silver.

In addition to the army, the rest are the military industrial enterprises under Shen Mufeng, the clothing factory, the gunpowder factory, the ordnance factory and so on.

If these are all arranged by Shen Mufeng, then Wanshan County is almost a county-wide exchange, Wanshan County, which has more than 20,000 people, is now the richest county under the rule of Pinglan and Wanping, and they quite understand who gave them today.

Therefore, when the adults in their hearts have an order, they are also the first to respond, because in their hearts, what the adults say must be right, and what they do must be good for the people.

And with a large number of people exchanging banknotes, many people can't sit still, obviously this profit, is also a lot of income, ten days, is more and more people to exchange.

Among them, there are some wealthy businessmen, after all, there are still a lot of smart people, Shen Mufeng is so generous, the army, military factories, etc., you don't have to think about it to know Shen Mufeng's courage.

This is like gambling, betting on the reputation of Shen Wangye, not to mention what Shen Wangye has done over the years, they all see it in their eyes, and believe in Shen Wangye even more, and more importantly, they have one percent more profit for no reason.

I can't see anything for one or two pieces of silver, but I can't stand more, and this profit is undoubtedly an extra tenth of the family business for large businessmen, which is quite a temptation!

However, when they saw the banknotes in their hands, everyone was taken aback again, and the exquisiteness of the coins was shocking.

The one-cent and five-cent banknotes are printed with the patterns of the common people's labor, and the dime and five-cent banknotes are the heads of Shen Mufeng and Emperor Xia Yuan, and the two landscapes of Daxia are printed on the one-yuan and five-cent banknotes.

The ten yuan is printed with the mountains and rivers of Daxia, the size is the same, the pattern is different, whether it is color or embossing, it has been very fine, very exquisite.

Of course, in Shen Mufeng's eyes, this banknote is still too bad, there are too few anti-counterfeiting marks, and the embossing is single, but Shen Mufeng is not worried, at the current level, I am afraid that even in ten or twenty years, no one may be able to imitate it.

So as long as Shen Mufeng doesn't get the currency to flood, then there is no problem.

As for the circulation of banknotes, Shen Mufeng is not worried, banknotes are still very easy to carry, compared to circulation, it is much more convenient than gold and silver, as long as banknotes are promoted, it is a matter of time before they are recognized.

In ten days, the exchange of banknotes reached nearly 32 million yuan, that is to say, the silver reserves of the two states in just ten days reached 29 million taels, and Shen Mufeng couldn't stop laughing when he thought about it.

In the last five days, there was a large-scale exchange, and in just five days, more than 20 million taels of silver were put into storage, and the silver reserves in the bank's treasury reached as much as 50 million taels in two weeks.

And the most complicated thing is Xia Yuan, when Xia Yuan heard that 50 million taels of silver were in the warehouse, he was both happy and worried, he really didn't expect that the money could be made like this, but in his heart, it was still real money.

Of course, this is also understandable, after all, people in this world don't understand what national reputation is, and where is the silver from a small piece of paper.

So that's what he's worried about, if something goes wrong with this banknote, it's a big problem.

Shen Mufeng explained with a smile, but Xia Yuan also didn't understand what he said, but out of trust in Shen Mufeng, he didn't have the words to question.

And now what he is worried about is not anything else, but it has been almost three years, Shen Mufeng once said that he would give him a complete Great Xia in five years, and now it is only more than two years, how can he not worry.

Shen Mufeng thought for a while and said, "It's time to start, I'll prepare for it in the next few days, and the whole army will be stationed in Bazhou!"

Bazhou is not among the three states, but it is not far from Wanping, and it is the throat road to Hezhou, Shen Mufeng has coveted Bazhou for a long time.

Now that the two states of Pinglan and Wanping are strong and strong, and the two states have completely matured after three years of operation, it is time to include Bazhou and Quanzhou. (To be continued.) )
