Chapter 242 Information

"The patterns of gold coins and silver coins are basically the same, the biggest difference is here." Chen Xun pointed to the "money making ten thousand words" below the front pattern of the gold coins and said to the iron seal.

The weight of gold coins is also five cents, with a gold content of only 70%, but the value of the coins is equivalent to one or two gold, which is very profitable.

"No problem, this pattern is not difficult." Feng Yuti nodded and replied: "But I am a little worried that the value and denomination of this metal currency are so big that I am worried that someone will definitely imitate it. What should I do then?"

"The value gap must be large, otherwise someone will use it as gold and silver. As for imitation and making fake..." Chen Xun slowed down and replied: "When issuing, we should do a good job of publicity. Anyone who makes counterfeit coins, no matter how much money they make, will catch one and kill one! It is not merciless!!"

"I understand, I'm fine." Feng Yutie did not mention any difficulties. He had learned some of the content of yesterday's meeting from others. He knew that Chen Xun attached great importance to the issuance of new money, asking people to give money, so he was sure to complete it within a limited time.

"Finish the mold manufacturing as soon as possible, and show it to me after making the sample. The task of minting this time is very heavy. Before the Chinese New Year, there will be minting 10 million copper coins, 1 million silver coins, and 100,000 gold coins. The silver ship from Kaifeng is estimated to arrive at the port in ten days. You'd better be able to do all the preparations before this." Chen Xun explained.

"Okay." Feng Yutie responded happily again.

As soon as Feng Yutie went out, Liu Yu and Zheng Zhi walked in together, and they brought the first draft of the banknote pattern.

"You can take a look at the design of metal coins first." Chen Xun introduced to the two.

"It's really good, Big Marshal Feng is really amazing." Zheng Zhi exclaimed, and Liu Yu nodded repeatedly.

"However, why is there no money between this penny and a thousand coins?" Liu Yu asked.

"This range is left for paper money, why don't this metal coin be a auxiliary coin?" Chen Xun then asked the two to start introducing the draft.

According to Chen Xun's previous explanation, the drafts were divided into one article, five articles, ten articles, twenty articles, fifty articles, one hundred articles, and six sets.

This division is the same as the RMB in later generations, with two paper money missing.

The overall pattern structure is very familiar with the Japanese yen in later generations.

For a banknote, there is a circular blank space between the front and back sides, which is left for the watermark, and there is no text above and below the white space.

"The pattern above the blank circle can be inlaid with the four characters "Central Bank" and the eight characters "Kaiyuan Lunar 3824" printed on the bottom." Chen Xun reminded.

"I understand." Liu Yu picked up the pen and changed the pattern. The font is basically the same as the ones on the silver coins.

On the right side of the front pattern of the banknote is Chen Xun's avatar, with an Arabic numeral "1" in the upper right corner of the avatar, and on the left are clusters of orchids, with the words "Yiwen" inlaid in the middle.

The farmers' harvest picture was drawn on the right side of the back (photo of everyone). On the left is a wheat field. The word "Yiwen" is inlaid with the word "1" in the upper part of the wheat field. The four corners are filled with Arabic numerals "1"

In addition to these main patterns, the entire layout of the coins is basically filled with various patterns.

The theme of this version of the banknote pattern is a bit monotonous because Chen Xun also left some room for the subsequent version. In the future, the words "national emblem, national name" can be added based on this pattern to avoid major changes.

The other five denomination patterns are basically the same as having a penny, the difference is only the color of the base tone, the flower species on the front and the pattern behind.

The main color of a penny is green, five cents are purple, ten cents are blue, twenty cents are orange, fifty cents are blue, and one hundred cents are red.

One penny orchid, five penny narcissus, and the next ten penny to one hundred penny are roses, lotus, chrysanthemums, and camellia.

The main colors and flower species are all designed by Chen Xun plagiarized by later generations, but all the landscape patterns behind them are original.

In addition to the wheat field harvest picture of a penny, the Great Wall is on the left side of the back of the five penny, and the right side is a dense cavalry formation.

On the left side of the back of the 10-cent coin is the sea, and on the right, many sailboats Yang Fan sail sail, riding the wind and waves, and embellishing the fish flying out of the water.

On the back of the twenty-money, there are mountains and rivers on the left, and on the right are rivers and plains, adorning cattle, sheep and birds.

On the left side of the back of the fifty cents is a steam engine, and on the right are various machinery, including cars, airplanes, trains, satellites and other future machinery.

On the left side of the back of the 100-month coins is a globe embedded in the universe and the right side is a thumbnail map of East Asia.

The design of these patterns is deeply hidden in Chen Xun's good intentions.

One cent means agriculture as the basis, and five cents means that a strong country must strengthen its military.

Ten cents represent the maritime territory, and twenty cents represent the land territory. Both are territory.

Fifty articles represent the industrial revolution, while one hundred articles indicate Chen Xun’s greatest dream.

The information content on this set of coins is very high. This is also Chen Xun's way to educate the people. Through coins that everyone loves, people can realize the world and focus their attention on the future.

As for how later historians interpret this "prophet" history, it is not something Chen Xun can worry about.

As a time traveler, he is so willful.

In the next period of time, Chen Xun, in addition to handling the government and military affairs of some military governments, devoted all his energy to the preparations for issuing paper money.

The Finance Department organized more than a thousand accounting who could write and calculate the work for centralized training. Chen Xun would teach these people every day whenever he had time.

He taught all his shallow financial knowledge like a swallow.

New-style money houses have begun to be built in each county on Guangnan East Road. Each money house covers a large area of ​​land and is also dug deep basements. For the sake of sturdiness and waterproofing, a large amount of cement is consumed.

In addition to these, more than 2,000 full-time security guards are being trained in a concentrated manner. These people will undertake the future transportation, escort, and security of money counters between various banks.

All this preparation is just an issuance channel. In order to make the people believe that the new money in their hands can be used as money, there must also be a recycling (sales) channel.

In Chen Xun's plan, there are three main recycling channels.

The biggest thing is taxation. Since the new money hairstyle, the military government’s tax department will accept any individual or collective use of new money to pay taxes.

Chen Xun believes that just this one can basically stabilize the credibility of new money.

The second recycling channel is government departments and state-owned enterprises. When these units conduct transactions with private collectives or individuals, they will recognize new money and give priority to accepting new money.
