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 "making money Wanwen" below the pattern on the front of the gold coin and reminded Feng Yutie.

The weight of the gold coin is also five cents, the gold content is only [-]%, but the currency value is equivalent to one or two gold coins, which is very profitable.

"No problem, this pattern is not difficult." Feng Yutie nodded and replied: "But I am a little worried. The value of this metal currency is so different from the face value. I am worried that someone will definitely imitate it. What will happen then?"

"The value gap must be large, otherwise someone will melt it and use it as gold and silver. As for counterfeiting..." Chen Xun paused before replying: "When it is issued, publicize it. Anyone who manufactures counterfeit coins, regardless of No matter how much money was made, catch each one and kill each one! No mercy!!"

"Understood, I have no problem." Feng Yutie did not mention any more difficulties. He had already learned some of the contents of yesterday's meeting from others, and knew that Chen Xun attached great importance to this issuance of new money and asked people to Ask for money and give money, so he is sure to complete it within the time limit.

"Complete the mold manufacturing as soon as possible, and show me the sample money after making the sample money. The task of casting coins this time is very heavy. Before the New Year, 1000 million copper coins, 100 million silver coins, and [-] gold coins need to be minted. They came from Kaifeng The silver ship is expected to arrive at the port in ten days, so you'd better make all the preparations before then," Chen Xun explained.

"Okay." Feng Yutie agreed happily again.

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

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

"It's really good. Master Feng is really amazing." Zheng Zhi praised, and Liu Yu nodded repeatedly.

"But why is there no money between this penny and a thousand yuan?" Liu Yu asked.

"This range is reserved for banknotes. How else can we say that this metal coin is a auxiliary coin?" Chen Xun then asked the two to introduce the draft.

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

This division is the same as the RMB in later generations, except that there are two less banknotes.

The overall pattern structure is very similar to the Japanese yen of later generations.

One penny banknotes have a circular blank space in the middle of the front and back, which is reserved for watermarks. There is no text above and below the blank space.

"The four characters 'Central Bank' can be embedded in the pattern above the blank circle, and the eight characters 'Kaiyuan Lunar Calendar [-]' for the printed time can be embedded below." Chen Xun reminded.

"I understand." Liu Yu took up his pen and changed the pattern. The font was basically the same as that on the silver coin.

On the right side of the front of the banknote is Chen Xun's portrait, with the Arabic numeral "1" in the upper right corner of the portrait, a cluster of orchids on the left, and the word "一文" inlaid in the middle.

On the right side of the back is a picture of farmers harvesting (people picture), with a wheat field on the left, the word "一文" inlaid above the wheat field, and the Arabic numeral "1" in the four corners.

In addition to these main patterns, the entire page of the coin 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 subsequent versions. In the future, the national emblem, country name and other words can be added to this pattern to avoid major changes in time.

The designs of the other five denominations are basically the same as those of the one-cent coin, with the only differences being the base color, the flowers on the front and the patterns on the back.

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

Orchids cost one penny, daffodils cost five cents, and roses, lotus, chrysanthemums, and camellias cost ten cents to one hundred cents.

The main colors and flower types are all copied from later designs by Chen Xun, but the landscape patterns behind them are all original.In addition to the wheat field harvest picture on the one-cent coin, the back of the five-cent coin has the Great Wall on the left and a dense cavalry formation on the right.

On the left side of the back of the ten cent coin is the sea, and on the right side are many sailboats sailing, riding the wind and waves, and dotted with fish flying out of the water.

On the back of the twenty-penny coin are mountains and rivers on the left and rivers and plains on the right, dotted with cattle, sheep and birds.

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

On the back of the one-hundred-penny coin, there is a globe embedded in the universe and the Milky Way on the left, and a thumbnail map of East Asia on the right.

Chen Xun’s good intentions are deeply hidden in the design of these patterns.

One penny represents that agriculture is the basis, and five penny represents that a strong country must have a strong army.

Ten coins represents the maritime territory, and twenty coins represents the land territory. Both are territories.

Fifty coins represents the industrial revolution, and one hundred coins heralds Chen Xun's biggest dream.

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

As for how later generations of historians will interpret this "prophetic" history, that is not Chen Xun's concern.

As a time traveler, you are so willful.

In the following period, in addition to handling some government and military affairs of the military government, Chen Xun devoted most of his energy to preparing for the issuance of banknotes.

The Financial Secretary organized centralized training for more than 1000 accountants who can write and do calculations. Chen Xun would go to teach these people every day whenever he had time.

He passed on all his meager financial knowledge as if swallowing it wholeheartedly.

Guangnan East Road Every county town has begun to build new-style banks. Each bank covers a large area and has deep basements. A large amount of cement has been consumed in order to be strong and waterproof.

In addition to these, more than 2000 full-time security guards are being trained intensively. These people will be responsible for the transportation of money between banks, guarding, and security of bank counters in the future.

All these preparations are only distribution channels. In order to make people believe that the new money in their hands can really be used as money, there must also be recycling (sales) channels.

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

The biggest one is taxation. Since the new money was issued, the Military Government's Taxation Department will accept any individual or group to use new money to pay taxes.

Chen Xun believes that this alone 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.

This article basically solves the problem of the circulation credibility of new money in bulk trade.
