Chapter 99 Issuance of banknotes
looked at Xu Shouyi's somewhat thin face, "Shouyi, I've worked hard lately, you see that you have lost weight." ”
Hearing Zhou Xian's words, Xu Shouyi burst into tears, "Master Xie cares, I don't work hard." ”
"It's really hard for you, if you can't bear it, find a few more people to help, don't exhaust your body." Zhou Xian said with concern.
"Well, the disciple understands, please rest assured, the disciple is measured." Xu Shouyi wiped the tears that were about to flow out of the corners of his eyes.
"Shouyi, you did a good job, Master has always been very optimistic about you, you really didn't disappoint Master, I came to you today to make paper money." Zhou Xian nodded and said the reason why Xu Shouyi came.
"Making banknotes? Master, are we going to open a money bank too? Xu Shouyi wondered.
"That's right, we're going to open a bank too, and I'll let your junior brother Xu Yun be the president of the bank." Zhou Xian explained.
"Senior Brother Xu Yun is stable and a good candidate to do great things." Xu Shouyi is also optimistic about Xu Yun.
"Now that everything is arranged, it's up to you to make the banknotes."
Next, Zhou Xian taught Xu Shouyi the method of making banknotes.
This time, Zhou Xian wanted to produce 8 kinds of banknotes, including 1 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan.
1 jiao is equivalent to 1 copper coin, 1 yuan is equivalent to 10 copper coins, 10 yuan is equivalent to 1 yuan of silver, and 100 yuan is equivalent to 1 tael of silver.
After seeing that Xu Shouyi understood the method of making coins, Zhou Xian explained: "This paper recipe for making coins can only be known to you, do you know?" To find someone you can trust, you have to separate the steps of making paper for different people,"
"Disciple obeys the master's orders! Don't dare to leak it out. Xu Shouyi assured.
"The coins we make are called Xingjing coins! You can make the first batch of 500 million Xingjing coins, and we can make as many Xingjing coins as we have in cash, and we can't make too much, otherwise it will be inflationary at that time. Zhou Xian explained Xu Shouyi.
When Zhou Xian taught Xu Shouyi to make Xingjing coins, he also taught him some knowledge of economics by the way.
Therefore, Xu Shouyi still has a certain understanding of the inflation mentioned by Zhou Xian.
Seeing that the explanation was almost over, Zhou Xian asked Xu Shouyi to go back, and asked him to immediately arrange for a trustworthy person to start making Xingjing coins.
The next day, when Zhou Xian was teaching at Xingjing University, he announced that he would establish a school of economics to train economic talents.
At the same time, the newspaper also published the news that Seungkyo University had opened a school of economics and recruited students.
Soon thousands of people came to sign up, but the examination of the Faculty of Economics was relatively difficult, and only 300 people passed the exam.
On the first day of class, Zhou Xian taught the students of the School of Economics about economics.
Of course, the knowledge of economics imparted to them is far less profound than that imparted to Xu Yun, but it only gives them a general impression of economics, and there is no pressure to work in a bank in the future.
Ten days later, Zhou Xian cut the ribbon of Xingjing Bank amid the lively sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums.
After the continuous publicity in the newspaper for the first ten days, the people of Xingjing have already had a deep understanding of the bank.
When Zhou Xian finished cutting the ribbon, the people walked into Xingjing Bank one after another.
Xingjing Bank now has two ways to save money, the first is to directly exchange the silver for Xingjing coins.
The second is to apply for a passbook, which has the seal of Xingjing Bank on it, and each time you deposit and withdraw money, you will record two copies, one will be left in the bank and the other will be kept by the people themselves.
Looking at the crowded Xingjing Bank, Zhou Xian smiled slightly, the effect is not bad, it seems that the people of Xingjing still believe in themselves.
Zhou Xian has also published news in the newspaper that at the end of this month, all cadres and workers in Xingjing will be issued Xingjing coins, and if there are those who are unwilling to use Xingjing coins, they can go to the bank to exchange silver.
With the image of Zhou Xian in everyone's minds now, there are very few people who are not worried about Xingjing coins, even if there are still people who are unwilling, it doesn't matter, as long as it takes another two months, everyone will find the benefits of Xingjing coins, and then they will naturally exchange silver for Xingjing coins.
After looking at the busy Xingjing Bank for a while, Zhou Xian walked to Xingjing University, and today he will teach the Electric Power Institute how to build power stations and lead-acid batteries.
Coming to the electric power laboratory of the School of Electric Power, the students were assembling the generator, and when they saw Zhou Xian coming, the students put down their work and came to Zhou Xian.
"Hello Headmaster!"
"Hello students, how many generators have you made?" Zhou Xian asked with a smile.
"Report to the Headmaster, we've built fifty generators." Xue Yi, the squad leader of the Electric Power Academy, said.
Xue Yi is a twenty-five-year-old young man, he has a strong learning ability and is very stable in his work, so Zhou Xian asked him to be the class leader of the Electric Power College.
"Very well, I'm here today to build a power station, and to make lead-acid batteries and incandescent lamps."
Hearing Zhou Xian's words, the students gave a warm cheer, they had already read the knowledge of power stations and lead-acid batteries in the textbook, but they were suffering from the lack of ability to make it, and now it was finally about to start, how could they not make the students of the Electric Power College excited.
After the students quieted down, Zhou Xian began to teach the students how to build power stations and make lead-acid batteries and incandescent lamps.
An hour later, Zhou Xian finished teaching and began to assign work tasks.
Xue Yi led 30 people to instruct the workers to build a power station.
Tao Hanzhong, the deputy squad leader, led ten people to make lead-acid batteries.
Nie Qingyu, the deputy squad leader, led ten people to make incandescent lamps.
Xue Yi needs to build two kinds of power stations, water conservancy and thermal power stations, because the amount of water conservancy power station is relatively large, so the two power stations started to be built at the same time, and the thermal power station can be put into use first after repair.
As for the production of lead-acid batteries, it is relatively simple, because there is no plastic container, so it is temporarily made of glass, and then a few lead plates are placed in the container, and then sulfuric acid is added, and then it can be used after charging on the generator.
After having a battery, you can make a flashlight, which can be convenient for everyone to use at night.
As for the production of incandescent lamps, Zhou Xian should have no problem going to the glass factory to hand over the manufacturing method to the glass workers, and the most important thing is the installation and sealing of the tungsten filament in the bulb.
Of course, practice makes perfect, and the yield will slowly increase.
Next, Zhou Xian asked Zhang Dabiao to find Xu Qiang and asked him to lead an engineering team over.
I took Xue Yi and other 30 students to the Ink River to inspect and see where it is suitable to build a hydroelectric power station.
Soon found a relatively narrow section of the river, let people go down to see the water level, only a few meters deep, Zhou Xian was very satisfied and decided to build a hydropower station here.
Soon Xu Qiang led an engineering team of 100 people to follow Zhang Dabiao.
"Meet Master!" Xu Qiang gave Zhou Xian a salute as he spoke.
"Here, no need to be polite, how is the road being repaired recently?" Zhou Xian asked with a smile.
"The cement road from Xingjing to Shanxi is being built, and it will be completed in half a month."
"Good, well done! I came to you today to impart some knowledge about building bridges and hydropower stations. Zhou Xian praised Xu Qiang.
"How to build bridges and hydroelectric dams? Master Xie, I have long wanted to learn how to build bridges. ”
Xu Qiang said excitedly.
Next, Zhou Xian didn't say anything, and directly began to teach the students and all the members of the engineering team the knowledge of building bridges and hydropower stations.
Due to the improvement of the teaching ability, it only took about half an hour for Zhou Xian to complete the knowledge of building bridges and hydropower stations.
After everyone came to their senses, they knelt down one after another, "Thank you for the grace of Master, President, and Principal!" ”
