"The pigment is developed by the students of the Institute of Technology, and there will be different effects from different angles, even if there is no anti-counterfeiting code, no one can overcome this technical problem alone.
And this paper, we used a lot of methods, tried thousands of times to solve it, soaked it in water, picked it up and dried, just like when it was not in the water, it will not rot. ”qδ
Li Xingchen smiled, they have solved the problems raised before, and they have perfectly made the banknotes they want, which are both beautiful and practical.
From the appearance alone, it is enough to collect, and it has a very good circulation value.
"Very good, let Qian Mingyue enter the palace." Li Xingchen commanded.
Paper money is implemented, and now it's time to implement it, otherwise no matter how beautiful it is, it is also a decoration, and circulation can become a valuable thing.
Soon, Qian Mingyue arrived, and when she saw so many ministers, she was unconsciously stage frightened, but she quickly calmed down and did not show panic on her face.
"Mingyue, come and have a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qian Mingyue secretly looked at Li Xingchen, since the last time she reported to set up a conference room to leave, she hadn't seen the person she was thinking about for more than half a year.
"What is this?" Qian Mingyue was surprised, and then reacted, "Your Majesty, is it the banknote you said earlier?" ”
She picked up one and touched it, looked at it, it was very tactile, the material was good, and the painting on the head was also very beautiful, much better than copper coins, gold and silver.
"Yes, the number above represents the number of coins, one is a copper coin, and so on." Li Xingchen explained.
In order to allow the general public to accept it as soon as possible and not to be confused about the money, he plans to make it one to one.
Although the cost of making banknotes far exceeds the value of the money itself, and the imperial court is completely at a loss, from the fundamental point of view of the country, it is worth losing a little.
And when the printing technology is improved, the cost will be reduced.
The most important thing is the printing technology of banknotes, and the lawbreakers do not have the ability to imitate it, and when they have the ability in the future, they will find that the printing cost far exceeds the price of the banknote itself, and they will not do it if they can't make money.
"Your Majesty is planning to implement it?" Qian Mingyue put down the banknote and asked.
Li Xingchen nodded, "Yes, you are the head of the royal industry, you can arrange to take the lead in circulation, and then I will issue an order, and the money bank can be exchanged for paper money, so as to avoid the laborious and unsafe tossing of boxes full of copper coins by major merchants." ”
In fact, ordinary people have less chance of using paper money because they don't have much savings, so they have to start from the merchant's side.
And Qian Mingyue can be called the largest merchant in the capital, and she will take the lead, and the following merchants will follow.
After all, merchants are different from ordinary people, most of their transactions are relatively large, and the copper coin business is too heavy and complicated, and they have to worry about being robbed by bandits, so once it is implemented, they will gradually replace the copper coin when they taste the benefits.
As long as the imperial court guaranteed the value of paper money, it would slowly spread to the entire Great Wei through merchants, and then from the Great Wei to other countries, and then the paper could be exchanged for gold, silver and jewelry from other countries.
You must know that gold is an international currency, and there is no such concept in various countries at present, but Li Xingchen plans to collect more gold and silver, and then use it as an international currency like later generations, and it will be a profitable business after it is promoted!
However, these have the premise, that is, the current cost of paper money manufacturing is too high, and it can be printed in large quantities after the technology is mature, and the popularity of paper money will become wider, and it will be much more convenient to exchange paper for gold and silver.
Qian Mingyue somewhat guessed Li Xingchen's thoughts, and her heart was immediately full of admiration.
It's really amazing, there is a guarantee from the imperial court, paper money can quickly replace copper money, copper money is taken back to the court, one day paper money loses its effect, the court has no loss, and at the same time can play a role in controlling the world's economic lifeline.
A million profits, steady earnings are not cultivated! Terrible! It's amazing! Your Majesty.
At the end, there were various discussions.
They are all senior leaders of the country, very knowledgeable, and have long known the role of paper money, so they all have to contribute to this implementation.
The next day, Li Xingchen issued a holy decree, explaining a series of matters such as the implementation of paper money.
It was also published in the front pages of the newspapers, and was sent to various places and people to explain its usefulness.
The capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven and soon began to be implemented.
Royal (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 370: Promotion
Whenever the people come to deposit and withdraw money, the money bank will arrange special personnel to sell to them, hoping that the other party will take away the paper money and give up the idea of taking copper coins.
However, few people will do it early, because they have just implemented it, they have not seen it, and it involves net worth, for the sake of conservatism, it is safest to take copper coins.
It's not the same when it comes to loans or businessmen, the former is borrowing money, and what money people give you, you can only continue, don't pull it down.
The latter was also troublesome to take money in large quantities, so in line with the trust of the royal bank, he chose banknotes.
The most important point is that Qian Mingyue said that if you want to intersect with a series of royal businesses, whether you buy or sell, you must use paper money, otherwise you will break off the cooperative relationship.
This is an overlord clause, but there is no way, the merchant can only accept it.
In this way, there are merchants who take the copper coins to the money bank for exchange and continue to trade with the Royal Business Group.
As the merchants made more use of paper money, the factory workers they kept also began to use it gradually, which led to a secondary promotion.
The workers used the money distributed to the shops for use, which became three promotions, forming a paper money ecosystem, and there was a chain reaction, and slowly more and more people used paper money, and even asked Hanako to ask for food without refusing paper money.
Moreover, the imperial court clearly stipulated that no shop or individual was allowed to refuse to accept anything that was bought with paper money, otherwise it would violate the law.
Therefore, merchants who wanted to receive copper money did not dare to refuse to accept paper money.
Under the semi-compulsory promotion, there are very few copper coins used in the entire capital, and they are gradually recycled by the money bank, and finally returned to the national treasury.
After the paper money was printed to a certain extent, including the imperial court, the court did not issue gold and silver, and all the paper money was issued.
and ordered the civil and military officials to set an example and take out all the money in their homes to exchange for paper money.
The vast majority of officials are unwilling, and even suspect that Li Xingchen is using this way to collect money, but the three provinces and six ministries set an example, and they are not willing to be equated with His Majesty! I couldn't fix it, so I obediently emptied my family and came back with a bunch of banknotes.
It seems to be going well, but there are two sides to the problem.
On this day, Qian Mingyue brought bad news.
"Your Majesty, the Great Family refuses to trade paper money, and they basically have no intersection with the royal business, and they don't save money, let alone take out loans."
Li Xingchen is very powerful, and the royal business is also very big, but the business of other families is also even more powerful.
