"This is the first batch of minted coins, please take a look at them!" Fei Chun came in with two strings of copper coins.
Zhao Han took it closer and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing, the imitation of this thing is too realistic.
Except for the slight difference in color, it is exactly the same as the copper coins cast in Nanjing. As for the "Chongzhen Tongbao Datong Money in the World", the money molds are still being made, and casting can start in two months.
Zhao Han nodded in approval: "Not bad."
Fei Chun handed over another stack of paper tickets: "This is the first batch of military tickets."
Zhao Han didn't dare to issue banknotes rashly, mainly Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming Banknotes, which had completely ruined the reputation of banknotes.
Daming treasure banknotes, print as much as you want. Moreover, after the damage, the government refused to accept the account at all, and did not exchange the old coins for new coins, which caused complaints from all officials, civilians and merchants.
With this kind of lessons learned, ordinary people are afraid when they see banknotes.
Therefore, Zhao Han only dared to print military tickets, which were only used in the army. Soldiers are paid and issued directly to military tickets, which can be exchanged for food at any time and any place in the official food bank.
In this way, it will be convenient for frontline soldiers to pay their salaries during the war.
Moreover, it is very convenient for soldiers to carry it. They can return home after the battle and take the military ticket to the food store in their hometown to exchange for food.
The material of the military ticket follows the Daming banknote.
?The main material is mulberry paper, and the auxiliary material is waste and recycled official document paper. The two kinds of paper are mixed together to make pulp, which is blue-gray in color, thick and durable.
There are many kinds of anti-counterfeiting signs¡ª¡ª
First, micro-carving. Ask the master of micro-carving to finely carve patterns on the printing plate.
Second, color printing. Red, blue, and black three-color overprinting was done by Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty.
Third, watermark. The watermarking method originated in the Tang Dynasty. There are two types of bright flowers and dark flowers. Modern banknotes still retain watermarks for anti-counterfeiting. The military ticket of the Datong Army uses the dark flower watermark method.
Fourth, the seal. On the military ticket, there must be the seals of the three major agencies of the Financial Secretary, the Public Works Department, and the Military Academy. If there is one less seal, it will be a waste ticket, and cinnabar ink pad is used. In addition, the main pattern of the military ticket is also made of special ink, which is added with lead sulfide, which is also the anti-counterfeiting symbol of Daming banknotes.
Moreover, as long as the military ticket is genuine, even if it is soaked in water, the grain bank must admit it. If it is torn into several pieces, as long as more than 60% of it is complete, it must be counted as a whole ticket.
When the military ticket system is in operation, a lot of transportation consumption can be saved, and more grain stocks can be kept at the same time.
After credit is established, civilians are likely to use military tickets as banknotes.
Zhao Han put down the military ticket, and said: "Since the money has started to be minted, the grain store will be changed to the money and grain store in the future. Especially the 'World Datong money' can be exchanged at the money and grain store after circulation."
The food bank under the Financial Secretary can't exchange copper coins now, but only accepts silver and grain. Chongzhen Tongbao is really disgusting.
After the "Tianxia Datong Money" is issued, the copper coin business can be increased.
Everything has to be perfected step by step.
? When the reform of the currency value is completed and the banking system is established, the Qianliang Bank must be separated from the Financial Secretary and be directly managed by the central government.
After half a month, the salary will be paid at the beginning of the month.
The personal guards of the Ji'an General Military Mansion became the first batch of soldiers to lead the military ticket.
These people held a stack of paper notes, although they understood how to use them, and even though they trusted Zhao Han, they still couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Can this ticket really be exchanged for food?"
"Will the general town still lie to us?"
"Would you liketo try?"
""
Several soldiers took advantage of their rotations and went to the food store in Fucheng together.
"In exchange for food!" A soldier took out his military ticket.
The grain official asked, "How much?"
The soldier said, "Change all."
The denominations of military tickets are one dou, two dou, five dou and one stone.
I saw that the grain bank began to move out grain, and it was obvious that it could be cashed in.
The soldier suddenly laughed and said, "No more, no more, I don't have time to take it home."
The officials of the grain line looked depressed, but they didn't dare to offend the soldiers, so they could only turn around and complain quietly.
The soldiers were very happy. There were food stores in their hometowns, and there was a line in every three towns. From now on, when visiting relatives during holidays, you can just bring your military ticket, you don't need to exchange money in Fucheng, and you don't need to carry a big bag of grain on the road.
The military ticket is the first step, and the official ticket will be issued next.
?Because of the shortage of silver, military salaries are calculated in terms of food, but officialsThe front line soldiers work hard. "Zhao Han is very happy.
Suddenly, Zhao Han asked again: "Yuyao is not far from Fenghua, did my cousin know about Zhu Zhiyu (Zhu Shunshui)?"
"When I left Fenghua, I made a special trip to visit," Hu Mengtai said. "In the past few years, he has been studying with peace of mind, and he is not limited to Neo-Confucianism and Mind-learning. Now he advocates practical learning, farming, construction, medicine, water conservancy He also said to me that the way of learning is to practice, and the learning of sages and sages must be practiced. Scholars should learn the truth and apply what they have learned.¡±
"Haha, that's a good point." Zhao Han laughed.
Zhu Shunshui in Hanzhu Mountain was only a semi-finished product, but now it has finally evolved into a complete version.
Zhao Han planned to write a letter asking Xu Ying to send someone to Yuyao to invite Zhu Shunshui to be an official or a teacher.
Of course, it may not be possible to invite him. Chongzhen ordered him to be an official, but Zhu Shunshui shirked and refused.
The three of them were drinking tea and chatting vigorously, when suddenly a guard came in and reported: "General Town, there is an urgent military situation from Guangdong!"
"bring here."
This military information came from Zhang Tieniu, who reported that tens of thousands of people in Ba Pai Yao had rebelled, and they wanted to present a woman to Zhao Hanjin.
It must have been ghostwritten by the mission officer in the army, who made the story of Ba Pai Yao very clear.
Zhao Han felt extremely novel. In his established impression, the Yao tribe should be a chieftain system. It never occurred to me that the electoral system was actually implemented, and the "committee members" were elected first, and then other leaders were elected from the committee, and they knew that they would change every two years.
The missionary officer also said that the Yao people can be appeased and treated kindly, and let them teach terraced field technology.
