Chapter 147: Light Yuan

Everyone sat down, Tang Zheng coughed, and everyone at the scene straightened their waists.

"Today, I didn't expect so many people to come, but since they are all here, let's have a simple meeting."

"Everyone has seen that our Zhuguang Bank has been established, and we will soon build a banknote printing factory, which represents our Zhuguang City officially bidding farewell to the era of barter and the era of points."

"There are advantages and disadvantages to this, needless to say, everyone understands that it is more convenient, everyone can get a salary, and life is better. But there are a lot of disadvantages, first of all, we are doing this, there is no doubt that we are committing the taboo of the empire, because the coinage and issuance of banknotes have always been controlled by the royal family, and the Hanyue coin we used before was also printed with the words of the Yuanjing Royal Bank. ”

"It is convenient for us to issue currency now, but it may offend the empire in the future, so everyone must be mentally prepared."

Everyone present showed an indifferent expression on their faces, as a member of the Light Chaser Army, except for their loyalty to Tang Zheng, everything else was inappropriate.

Tang Zheng was also helpless, so he could only continue: "And the issuance of currency will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the surrounding forces, making us the target of public criticism. And with us leading, there may be other people who will follow our lead in issuing money and face competition in the future, and these are all problems. ”

Tang Zheng's mouth was a little dry when he said it, and seeing that everyone in the Light Chaser Army was still indifferent, he simply gave up the idea of convincing his subordinates.

"Okay, since it's decided, I won't be verbose, Qi Zhengyang, what are the prerequisites for issuing currency?"

Qi Zhengyang, the new president of Zhuguang Bank, stood up and nodded slightly to Tang Zheng before he began to speak.

"General, colleagues, let me first talk about the prerequisites for the issuance of currency."

"In the past, we had these conditions for issuing currency, first according to the domestic economic situation, then looking at the existing price level, and then assessing the future market demand, and predicting the demand for money in the future for a period of time. This also involves issues such as foreign exchange reserves. ”

"Generally speaking, if the domestic economy grows quickly, it will increase the money supply, and if there is a lot of inflationary pressure, then the monetary policy will be tightened."

"Finally, according to the actual needs, the printing plan is formulated, and in the process of printing, the Imperial Royal Bank will also take some measures to control the money supply and maintain price stability, the most intuitive means here is to control the amount and speed of money printing, and will also adjust the bank deposit reserves. Only by doing all these things in place can we ensure currency stability and sound economic development. ”

Qi Zhengyang's words were finished, and everyone immediately received warm applause.

The palms of these iron men of the Light Chaser Army are about to turn red, and they usually only know how to shoot and fire, where have they heard these high-minded talks, and they all look like "although I don't know what you're talking about, but it looks so powerful".

Tang Zheng also heard it with a big head, coughed and asked, "That. Do we need to be that complicated? ”

Qi Zhengyang nodded politely to Tang Zheng again: "General, let's make it much simpler here, because the new city of chasing light is new, everything is thriving, the price level is compared with points, it is very easy to settle, and now there is no need to consider the international situation, nor do you need to inquire about import and export trade, nor does it involve foreign exchange reserves, as long as you don't print too much at one time at the beginning, there should be no problem." ”

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, I really want to ask Qi Zhengyang, since it's not so complicated, why did you say so much before?

But he couldn't ask this kind of unqualified question, as if he didn't understand it.

"Is that now that I have built a banknote printing factory, our bank can start working."

Qi Zhengyang hurriedly said: "General, before that, we still have to determine the currency denomination, pattern, and the proportion of the existing points, we will calculate and determine the proportion of points, but the face value and pattern still need to be determined by you." ”

Tang Zheng didn't speak immediately, thinking about Han Yue's currency.

The currency before the Han Yue was called Han Yue Yuan, and the face value was 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao, and so on.

Tang Zheng thought about it for a while, and felt that the 50 yuan and 20 yuan could be changed, and directly changed to a 30 yuan one.

In this way, it is also convenient to find change with 100 yuan.

But he also took into account what the maximum denomination of the currency should be.

He raised this question, and Qi Zhengyang said: "General, in the past, the maximum issue of 100 yuan in Hanyue was because there was mobile phone payment in the later period, and the reduction of cash transactions was due to the fact that there was also a reason to prevent the flood of counterfeit money, but there will be no mobile phone payment on our side for the time being, and the currency from our banknote printing factory cannot be imitated by others, so it is nothing if the face value is set to be larger." ”

Hearing Qi Zhengyang's statement, Tang Zheng felt that it was very reasonable, and he was also worried that if the face value was too small, it would be more troublesome to carry cash in the last days.

Since this is the case, Tang Zheng will also make a decision.

"Then according to the maximum face value of 1,000 yuan, then 300 yuan, 100 yuan, 30 yuan, and so on, the smallest face value is one cent, but I want to make it clear that our cent currency must also have purchasing power, and the currency of the chasing army must be strong."

Qi Zhengyang and the others nodded one after another, and quickly recorded Tang Zheng's words.

"General, what are the patterns on the front and back of our currency? What is the color of the currency? We have to take into account not only the different colors, but also the different patterns, after all, some people who are color blind also have to take into account. ”

Before the currency of the Han Moon was a celestial phenomenon, the front pattern of 100 yuan was the moon, the 50 yuan was the galaxy, the 20 yuan was the cloud or something, and the back was the emperors of the Han Yue dynasties.

Of course, Tang Zheng couldn't come according to the currency before Han Yue, he thought for a while: "The front of 1,000 yuan should be used in our Chasing Light City, you can take pictures of the city, take a beautiful picture, and then use it as the front of 1,000 yuan, which is where our foundation lies." ”

Qi Zhengyang and others brushed the record.

"The front of 300 yuan can take a close-up view of our Chasing Light City, and we must clearly shine the three big characters of Chasing Light City, after all, the distant view is not very clear, and the close-up view is a supplement."

"On the front of 100 yuan, the cannon that shoots our Chasing Light City is the one in the inner city, which is the deterrent of our Chasing Light City, and it is also a symbol of strength, with this cannon, any enemy who wants to attack must be weighed and weighed, and it can also give the survivors enough security."

"The front of the 30 yuan is our first transport helicopter."

"The front of the 10 yuan is our first light tank."

"The front of the 3 yuan is our first jeep."

"The front of the 1 yuan is our first motorcycle."

"Then you decide the pattern of the dime and the penny, oh yes, the front of the penny, and take a picture of the big smart and the little beautiful, that is our original military dog."

"As for the pattern on the back, you can add the pattern of our power plant, freshwater purification plant, radar station, arsenal, barracks, etc., which reflects the life of our army. Well, the front view of the bank is placed on the back of 1,000 yuan. ”

Qi Zhengyang and a group of bank executives brushed the records, and recorded Tang Zheng's words word by word.

"General, what about the color?"

"1,000 yuan will use the golden one, after all, it looks heroic."

"The 300 yuan is silver, second only to gold."

"Use purple for 100 yuan, purple also looks noble."

"The 30 yuan one is red, which is close to purple."

"Orange for $10."

"3 yuan in green."

"For $1, use blue."

"The dime and cent coins are still up to you, but not only to take into account the needs of the colorblind people, but also to take into account the needs of the blind, I suggest that the banknotes be made more high-end, with a three-dimensional sense, so that imitation people have no way to start."

"Don't worry about this, the banknote printing factory will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer."

Once the pattern and face value are set, it is a big thing to solve.

Of course, Tang Zheng also emphasized one point, that is, the purchasing power of currency.

The currency of the Light Chaser Army must become the strongest currency, this is not the more printed the better, you don't have so many commodities at all, the more money is printed, the more useless it is, and in the end it can only become waste paper.

Here Tang Zheng needs to work harder, not only to sell cars, weapons and serums, but also other materials can be used for sales, and there must be a certain amount of gold reserves in his hands.

This request was made by Qi Zhengyang.

"General, because of the existence of the war system, gold, silver, gems and other items play a great role in our monetary system, and it is best for you to get a batch of funds and deposit them in the bank vault as our deposit reserves, which are also the basis for us to issue currency."

Tang Zheng nodded, but it was not easy for him to come up with this money for the time being, after all, there was a shortage of funds now.

Then Qi Zhengyang proposed to recruit workers from the society, and those who have a foundation in the financial industry are preferred, and they should also open savings houses in various prosperous areas of Zhuguang City, not only to distribute currency to the outside world, but also to open gold and silver exchange activities, so that the survivors can collect gold and silver, and then take it to the bank to exchange money, which is also a way of source of funds.

After saying this, someone raised the issue of future salary.

Tang Zheng believes that in principle, the initial salary of each officer at the company level cannot exceed 2,000 yuan.

Because in his conception, the purchasing power of the currency of the Chasing Light Army is very strong, and the current 2,000 yuan is almost equivalent to the 20,000 yuan before the Han Yue.

Moreover, this is still the treatment of senior officers, and the treatment of other jobs should be reduced to prevent the flood of prices.

Hearing this salary, everyone present was very satisfied, especially the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army, they have been fighting, basically there are no points, and it is difficult to buy things, and now all the problems have been solved.

Then Qi Zhengyang asked a question again.

"General, shall we produce coins?"

Tang Zheng thought about it for a while, in the past, Han Yue's coins, he thought were useless, they were heavy and small, and no one wanted to carry them.

However, although coins are not good, there should still be a certain market for coins similar to gold coins.

In the end, Tang Zheng made a decision, and the Zhuguang Army only issued one coin, that is, a gold-plated copper coin with a face value of 100 yuan.

The pattern of the copper coin is like the military flag of the army chasing light, a person chasing the light.

The size of the coin is compared to the size of the table tennis ball, and it is required to be beautiful and beautiful, so it is estimated that the coin also has a large market.

Finally finished this, Tang Zheng was grunting with hunger, and was about to go to eat, Qi Zhengyang raised an important question.

"General, what's the name of our currency?"

Tang Zheng's footsteps stopped, and his first reaction blurted out.

"The light dollar, this is our first generation of currency, and the name is the light yuan."

The issuance of thirty yuan and three yuan is essential, and some people may be entangled in why and feel unreasonable, but those who don't understand can enter the group and ask me, and I can't explain much here.
