Chapter 283 Dahan Central Bank

Mingyue naturally had no problem with Annuo's words, so they quickly went to meet Huo Gang.

"What's wrong with you coming here?" Huo Gang looked at these people with some surprise. Didn't he say that he had left everything to them?

"The leader is about currency. The Tang Dynasty's currency is both money and silk. If we start a large-scale trade with the Tang Dynasty, this currency is a huge problem. There is a ratio between them, mainly because if the Tang Dynasty does not allow our food coupons to be used in their territory, it will be more troublesome." Mingyue said.

When she said this, Mingyue glanced at Huo Gang, and she believed that Huo Gang could understand what she meant.

Huo Gang nodded silently. The financial system of this era can almost be said to be without it, but you must not underestimate anyone in this era. The reason is very simple. It is impossible for you to directly circulate your currency in the Tang Dynasty.

Although the ancients did not understand any currency war, the ancients were not fools. Since Emperor Wu of Han nationalized the right to mint coins, the right to mint coins has been one of the most important rights of various dynasties, and the same was true for the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that anyone who dares to mint money privately will be punished by death and the whole family will be cancelled! In this era, it is not the most terrible thing to kill you. The most terrible thing is to cancel your household registration. If you do not have a household registration, it is a pariah or a slave. You can't go anywhere and you can't do anything.

The Han Dynasty actually had similar regulations, but did you think there were any people who minted coins in the Tang Dynasty? There must be some gentry in remote areas, and they were exactly the same as the official money, so you can't see any problems.

And these can only be found in remote places, at least in the core areas of the Tang Dynasty, such a situation cannot occur.

So you told the Tang Dynasty that if you let your money be circulated in the Tang Dynasty, people like Li Shimin and Du Ruhui will immediately become alert.

Although Huo Gang had already thought about using various financial methods to influence the Tang Dynasty, it was not possible at the moment, and they were not as strong as that.

"Xia Zhu." Huo Gang asked after pondering for a moment.

"leader."

"How many students are Mudan and the others teaching now who have finished their junior mathematics courses? Those over 13 years old and under 20 years old." Huo Gang asked.

"There are about 500 people, and if the end of this year, it can reach about 1,000 people." Xia Zhu immediately gave a number.

"Very good. If that's the case, let Mudan and Dujuan come over." Huo Gang thought about it and directly pointed the two of them.

"Yes!" Xia Zhu turned around and left quickly.

After Xia Zhu left, Huo Gang looked up at the three of them and said, "Since that's the case, an important department of our authority can be established."

"Chief, what department is it?" Mingyue asked immediately.

"Dahan Central Money House." Huo Gang said a few words.

"Dahan Central Money House? What is this for?" All three of them were stunned and Annuo asked curiously.

"In the future, it will assume all the responsibilities of the Han Dynasty's currency circulation, and it also has another important role. It is related to the future monetary system of the Han Dynasty." Huo Gang said.

"The Han Dynasty will not charge any copper coins as currency for the outside world, we will only charge gold and silver as hard currency. We will implement the gold standard policy." Huo Gang said, although it is a bit early to implement the gold standard now, since they have cooperated with the Tang Dynasty, especially since they are all in a trade surplus now and are in an absolute advantage of trade, there is no need to worry about the currency run.

"Gold standard?" Annuo and Wu Ping had never heard of it.

"The so-called gold standard means that we will announce to the public that our currency, such as a name called Hanyuan, is forced to be linked to gold. For example, 1 Hanyuan can be converted into 1 gram of gold."

"Our central bank is to carry out exchange business. Anyone who comes with money can exchange it into gold! Then the Hanyuan we issue is actually equivalent to gold! In this case, as long as we prevent banknotes from being faked, it means we can issue banknotes."

"As long as our big man is strong enough, more and more tribes and small countries around us will gradually recognize our Hanyuan. At that time, Hanyuan can buy anything. Now we have this advantage, and everyone needs to come to us to buy things. Then if we do not charge other currencies, only gold and silver, we will gather a large amount of gold and silver into our money house."

"What we exchanged is just the currency we printed. Of course, for the sake of national credibility, we must admit these currencies at any time, but the potential benefits this brings are extremely huge." Huo Gang said with a smile.

There is no big deal about gold, because later industrial products are also indispensable. In fact, gold and silver standard can be implemented during this period, but there is a problem with the gold and silver standard, that is, the ratio between gold and silver must have a reasonable value.

Moreover, it cannot change for a long time, or to be precise, it cannot change at will. This is not convenient, so it is better to just turn to the gold standard directly. Silver can be used for floating prices, and the big man also charges silver, but the price of silver changes at any time.

"This is the exchange rate I have set." Huo Gang walked to his desk, took out a notebook I had written before and handed it to them. It was the thing I had written by Huo Gang.

Huo Gang converted according to the future monetary system of the Han Dynasty.

First of all, the Han Dynasty will execute Yuan, divided into two levels of currency. One cent is equal to one cent in the Tang Dynasty, 100 cents = 1 yuan, and 1 gram of gold is equal to 27 yuan.

This price is similar to the price of the Tang Dynasty to exchange silver for gold. It is not that Huo Gang is lazy, but that the Tang Dynasty, as one of the largest economies of this era, its currency can be said to be naturally adjusted, so this ratio is naturally the most suitable.

Therefore, setting up according to this ratio is beneficial to circulation in this era.

Of course, even if the gold standard is implemented, it does not mean that other exchanges will disappear. Other exchanges will not disappear and will always exist. Because these merchants first need the goods of the big man, they can accept the money of the big man. Otherwise, Huo Gang would just say that money is equal to gold, and no one would believe it at the beginning.

Only when they first told them that this currency can not only be exchanged as currency, but also as fixed goods, can these merchants not have any doubts, because for them, as long as they can be exchanged as long as they can be exchanged for goods.

As for the gold, no one will exchange it at the beginning.

Huo Gang just needs to propose this concept.

Of course, this is not the most important thing for a money bank, but the most important thing is the characteristic of opening an account at any time.

At that time, Huo Gang will directly open the money house in Suoyang City, the Tang Dynasty, or Dunhuang.

For example, the five surnames and Qiwang, you are going to buy my goods, but your gold and silver are not easy to transport, right? You can directly send gold and silver to my money house in Suoyang City. I will give you how much money. Just take the money to Yumenguan or Yangguan and buy the goods you need directly.

In this way, as long as you do it a few more times, these merchants themselves will recognize the status of Han Yuan. As more and more merchants need Han Yuan's goods, there will naturally be more and more places that Han Yuan will influence.

However, in this case, the mission of food coupons has been completed.

"This is the currency made by Sun Er and the others, you can take a look." Huo Gang took out two boxes from his drawer and took them out.

Open one of the boxes and three coins of different sizes appeared inside, which were basically the same as coins in later generations and the same size as copper coins. However, it is much more exquisite than copper coins.

Annuo took out a coin from it, with two Chinese characters 1 cents written on it. This 1 is engraved with patterns, and next to it, there is a reduced city, and there is even three small Chinese characters Yumen Pass on it.

In addition, on the other side of it, the word 1 point is also written, but there is a long list of six words about the Dahan Central Bank of China around the edge of the coin. At the same time, there is a large Chinese character in the center.

The patterns on both sides are extremely delicate, and even the fine lines Annuo doesn't know how to print them.

The other coins are only different in size from this one. The numbers above are 1 point, 2 point, 5 point, 10 point, 20 point, and 50 point. The patterns on different denominations are also different. The only similar one is the words of the Dahan Central Money House.

These coins are silver-white and very hard. Annuo felt it and seemed to be much harder than copper coins.

The other box was a banknote similar to a food coupon, but as soon as the banknote was taken out, Annuo was shocked because the patterns and patterns on the banknote were too delicate!

And when he held the paper in his hand, he found that the paper was very strong, stronger than all the papers he often had. It was like a coin, with different patterns on the front, and the most important thing was that there was a person's avatar on it.

Annuo recognized it at a glance that this should be the avatar of their leader. The painter didn't know who drew it, it looked so similar. In addition, there were words such as the Dahan Central Money House next to it, as well as printing time below, and a string of weird numerical numbers.

In addition to the avatar, there is also a fuzzy team of soldiers, the flags of the Han Dynasty, etc. as the background, but the paintings are all very small.

To be honest, Annuo didn't know how this thing was so finely drawn. Even the smallest brush could not be so small!
