Chapter 656 Daheng Paper Coins
It is obvious that today's Daheng has already had a prototype business economic system. What is lacking is currency. To be precise, it is a paper currency with sufficient national credibility!
The emperor's grand vision, most importantly, is also paper money.
Although the world trade of paper money requires an anchor that is controlled by Daheng.
But no matter what era, national strength is the real anchor!
Why did the pound in history become the mainstream currency in the world?
The fundamental reason is that in history, the countless British colonies, the British fleet that scattered the oceans and shocked the world!
The same is true for the US dollar in later generations. Even if oil is used as the anchor of the US dollar, if it were not as powerful as the United States, the US dollar would not have such a status.
But it is also obvious that in today's era, there are two biggest obstacles to the implementation of paper money.
First, it is credibility, which refers to national credibility.
The second is the degree of elegance of the paper money, which refers to the difficulty of imitation and identification.
In fact, since the Ming Dynasty, the emperor began to prepare for these two issues one after another.
The most important thing is the establishment of a bank and the large state-owned monopoly business that emerged.
Today, Daheng Money House is spread all over the world, and the silver notes of Daheng Money House have become the most important currency for business exchanges in the world.
Daheng Money House is completely state-owned. The popularity of money bank money is in a sense, which represents the strong national credibility.
A large number of state-owned monopoly business companies represent the fundamentals of the business environment and are under the control of the country.
Moreover, the remaining private business banks are actually under the control of the country. After all, the current private business banks are worthy of the other ones, and there are shadows of the powerful behind them.
It is undoubtedly a very clear thing for the powerful to control the business, and the emperor controls the powerful to control the powerful.
Although the main body of the paper money faces is the people of the world, the circulation of paper money still depends on commercial trade.
There is no doubt that the country's credibility has been stable and firm in recent years, and the main business environment is under control. At present, the implementation of paper money has obviously no big problems. It can even be said that everything is ready and there is only the east wind.
The most important question is the quality of the banknotes and the degree of forgery identification.
This is crucial to the implementation of paper money.
The paper money that is being promoted nationwide is a world of difference compared to silver bills.
The circulation of silver notes all involves large-scale commodity trade.
The targeted groups are only a very small number of wealthy businessmen.
Ordinary people basically trade copper coins, and if they can use a few taels of silver, they can be considered as having wealth for their families.
In this way, the difficulty of making silver notes and even anti-counterfeiting identification is obviously much lower.
After all, silver notes are bulk trade and can be made incredibly complex, and various secret seals can be made, thereby increasing the difficulty of forging.
Moreover, after redemption, it can be destroyed immediately. Strictly speaking, the scale of the silver notes circulating on the market is not too large.
But paper money is obviously different, and everyone in the world is facing each other.
Then the banknotes cannot be made too complicated, and it cannot be too difficult to identify the true or false.
Moreover, as a currency that has been circulated for a long time, its quality and exquisiteness must stand the test.
On this basis, it is still difficult to forge.
In this era, it is obviously not an easy thing.
It is precisely because of this problem that Daheng’s banknote implementation plan has been brewing and brewing in the mind of the emperor, but it has never been truly implemented.
After all, paper money represents national credibility. If it is issued too much, it will also consume national credibility for the sake of the country.
But if it is successfully forged, it will damage the public and private sectors to consume the national credibility, and the deterioration will not be stopped, which will even endanger the national capital.
This is even more terrifying than any sense of damage to public and private!
When the money house first took shape, the emperor mobilized a large number of craftsmen to join the Ordnance Department, specializing in the matter of coins and papers.
In the following years, as the emperor's power grew, his investment in it increased further.
In the past decade, with the support of huge power, the development plan for the Emperor's banknotes has also been progressing rapidly.
In fact, the paper craftsmanship of this era is not considered backward. Ancient techniques such as rice paper have their own unique features even in modern times.
After the emperor came to power, he once collected craftsmen from all over the world in order to develop ordnance and to develop new academic studies. Today, the Ordnance Department and the Academy of Engineering hold big tests every year, and the targets of the assessment are folk craftsmen.
These craftsmen with superb skills and family history will obviously be used by the emperor, which will naturally be of great help to the banknote development plan.
Since the beginning of the plan, customized templates have been presented to the emperor's case almost every year, but obviously, they do not meet the level in the emperor's mind.
In the past decade, countless development and improvements, paper technology, ink and watercolor, printing templates, etc., have been updated and replaced again and again with the support of this right.
What I got was the paper money making process that was ahead of the times and again.
According to the emperor's expectations, Daheng's banknote making technology is not only to be ahead, but also to be ahead!
There is no possibility of imitation if you are ahead of time!
Many things in this world are nothing difficult in the world, but people are afraid of those who are determined, not to mention, supported by the Supreme Power of the Emperor.
Just like the steam engine, regardless of the price or the gains and losses, the emperor just wants to see the updates.
In this way, although it violates market laws, it is obviously a great achievement.
This is true for the steam engine, and the banknote craftsmanship is the same!
In this warm spring, the customized and improved banknote samples were placed on the emperor's desk. In the hall, the director of the Banknote Department responsible for banknote development and several craftsmen stood respectfully.
Under the strict requirements of the emperor, this paper banknote, even if it is anything else, is extremely exquisite.
The emperor did not adopt the shape of silver bills that were popular in this era, but was like paper money in later generations.
The amount of currency is also like the same as in later generations, and it is divided into Yuanjiao.
Different coins have different numbers, and the patterns printed on the coin surface are also completely different.
However, the coin pattern is also enclosed in several aspects.
The classical myth on the side of the coin are like Chang'e flying to the moon and Houyi shooting the sun... The new learning imagination on the side of the coin is like the sun, moon and stars of the new learning imagination, like the application of steam engines...
And the vast and majestic scenery on the surface of the Yuan coins is like the scenery of guarding the border, like the scenery of plowing the courtyard and sweeping caves, or like the scenery of the navy breaking the waves.
And on the 100-yuan coins, the emperor rode his horse and whipped it, conquering all directions...
