Chapter 312: The Castle's Monetary System
The business of the 'Castle' Ironclad City can be roughly divided into two parts: the external system and the internal system.
The external system refers to the external business systems of 'castle shop', 'newspaper company' and 'liquor store'.
The internal system, according to the idea of Li Yinguang and the military advisor Bai Youxuan, is to strive to create an internal circulation in a short period of time, as long as it is in the Iron Armor City in the future, it can be purchased as well as in the outside world, as long as there is a clear market price, it can be bought in the Iron Armor City.
For the time being, the internal and external commercial systems of the Castle Ironclad City have not been formed, because the time is too short, and they have to be given enough time to engage in these things.
"The tobacco company should pay attention to it, although it is only a part of the circulation in the Tiejia City, it is very important, to give priority to meeting the demand in the Tiejia City, and so on in the future, the production capacity is rich, and it can also be sold to the outside world to generate income!"
Li Yinguang said towards Irma Zhengse.
Irma had a calm face and nodded, I don't know if it was because of postpartum depression, it seems that since giving birth, this 'old sister' has less and less time to smile on her face.
In fact, neither Irma nor anyone else realized how important and profitable the 'tobacco' industry was.
If it is done well, its benefits will definitely exceed those of the industrial companies such as 'castle shop', 'newspaper' and 'liquor store'.
Only for the time being, the tobacco company in the castle is also in the exploration stage, and there are no materials and no products.
"The tobacco company is the top priority, don't just nod your head, that's the first thing you have to focus on!"
Li Yinguang specially reminded.
Maybe it will be taken seriously, but I want to emphasize that everyone here knows the importance of the 'tobacco company' in the castle.
It is not difficult to buy tobacco in Cheongju City, and there should be a lot of choice in terms of types. Tobacco procurement is not a simple matter, as for the machine for rolling cigarettes, Li Yinguang has already instructed Buhe to take people to do it, and the model should not be difficult to make.
"In addition to the upcoming commercial activities of the 'Castle' both internally and externally, it also needs to purchase a large number of materials, and I will compile a list to ...... later."
Li Yinguang talked a lot one after another, a little cumbersome, but the main thing was around the 'Castle Commercial Development Company' and the 'Internal Business System of Tiejia City', and the main line was relatively clear.
Li Yinguang thought of something, and asked the housekeeper Goda, "How many silver bull coins are available on our books?" ”
Butler Goda shook his head with a wry smile: "I have to count it specifically, but there won't be many, first of all, when we came out, we carried a certain amount of silver bull coins, but when we purchased basic energy gems in Guifeng Mountain Town, we spent a lot." ”
More than 300 ordinary energy gems were purchased in Guifeng Mountain, and these gems basically consumed most of the working capital of the Castle Iron City, and in addition to the funds brought out from Mambach Town, there were also the harvests of looting the 'Changling' and 'Liegen'.
Of course, in addition to the small number of silver bull coins in the ancient castle ironclad city, there are not a lot of treasures in the treasure room, all of which are scavenged from the 'Changling' and 'Liegen', if they are sold for cash, the ancient castle can obtain a large number of silver bull coins in a short time.
But this kind of thing is only the most basic thing, if you want to maintain value, it has to be those treasures in the treasure room, it is easy to sell them and exchange them for silver bull coins, but it is not so easy to buy them back with silver bull coins.
Li Yinguang also had a rough idea of the financial situation in the Ironclad City of the Ancient Castle, and after thinking about it, he looked up at the military Bai Youxuan and asked, "Is there a way to collect all the silver bull coins in the hands of the employees in the Ironclad City as soon as possible and exchange them for 'Castle Coins'?" ”
Bai Youxuan frowned slightly, this is not a good errand, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, nodded and said: "It's not difficult to think of a solution, the main reason is that the 'currency' system in the Iron Armor City has not yet been built, that is to say, we haven't figured out what material the 'Castle Coins' are made of!" ”
Material?
Li Yinguang's eyes flashed and said: "Using metal materials, not to mention taking up more space, it is a waste of resources, or use animal skins, which are small and convenient, and easy to carry!" ”
The Obsidian Empire itself has a 'silver map of animal skins', but they are all used to exchange large amounts of silver bull coins, and they are all carefully drawn with high-grade animal skins, with strong anti-counterfeiting ability, plus the animal skins themselves are precious products, with their own value, so they are not easy to forge.
But in the Castle Ironclad City, if you want to implement the 'Beast Skin Silver Map', it is definitely not possible to use high-grade animal skins first, because what you want to make is a low-grade currency silver map, and you can't find so many high-grade animal skins in the Castle Ironclad City.
With low-grade animal skins, there will be two other dilemmas, first, low recognition, and second, high probability of being imitated, which is very difficult to solve in Bai Youxuan's opinion.
"Anti-counterfeiting?" Bai Youxuan asked tentatively.
Li Yinguang thought for a while, and said sharply: "For the time being, we will make low-grade token coupons, mainly copper coins and silver coins, copper coins will be called 'one penny' castle coins in the future, and silver coins will be called 'one yuan' castle coins, among the two currencies, in addition to a 'dime' castle coin, the exchange rate is 'ten cents' is equal to 'one dime', and 'ten cents' is equal to 'one yuan'."
In the future, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan and other denominations will be added to the castle coin, but for the time being, it will be mainly 'one yuan'.
Pass on the order of the lord of my city, but anyone who imitates the 'castle coin' will be punished with death. For the time being, the anti-counterfeiting piece will be used first to make an experimental version, continue to study the official version, and wait for the official version to be drawn, and then recycle and replace the 'experimental version' castle coins! ”
At present, in the Castle Iron Armored City, Li Yinguang's prestige is enough, and no one should dare to take risks to do such a thing for the time being.
As a precaution, Li Yinguang looked at Lan Ling and said, "Give the responsibility of supervision and prevention to the 'Inspector Brigade'!" ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "Didn't you nominate Lan Lan to be the first captain of the 'Supervision Brigade', do you have any opinions?" ”
Everyone shook their heads slightly, what opinions could they have, their own 'Supervision Brigade' is under the control of the 'Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tiejia City', Lan Ling, as the Minister of Internal Affairs, has the absolute right to appoint personnel, if they interfere in the affairs of the 'Ministry of Internal Affairs' now, then what will they do in the future, won't people come over to interfere?
There is no need to say much about the unspoken rules.
Li Yinguang nodded and said to Yu Lan: "Minister Lan Ling promoted you to the captain of the 'Supervision Brigade', and you will take office immediately!" ”
Lan Lan was slightly stunned, and nodded with a straight face......
