Chapter 184: Stealing money is not as fast as printing money!

In November 1682, the weather had turned cold, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in Chengtian Mansion also wrapped himself in a coat and inspected the work of the Ming Dynasty Royal Manufacturing Bureau in the warm winter sun.

Zhu Kezang attached great importance to "Made in the Ming Dynasty".

The Royal Manufacturing Administration involves all aspects of the Ming Dynasty's military.

No matter which factory it is, if the quality of the products produced is not good, then there will be big problems.

Imagine that when the Ming Dynasty gunners fired, the shells did not fire out, but exploded directly in the barrel, killing our own senior gunners who had a huge training cost. What a loss!

Moreover, this kind of royal industry has been a very lucrative thing since ancient times, and the greedy people will lose their minds.

If you don't keep an eye on it, people from the Ministry of Industry will take advantage of it. Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, it will be corrupted to a certain extent. Even the weapons produced by the Ming government will not be used by grassroots soldiers.

Zhu Kezang would never allow this to happen.

Therefore, Zhu Kezang would often visit the General Administration of Manufacturing and visit the craftsmen here to see if they had any new inventions.

Of course, he also made private visits to the countryside and markets incognito to observe people's lives and market trade.

Through a private interview on Weibo, he really discovered a serious problem in New Daming.

This kind of spiral machine has a complicated structure, is difficult to operate, has high vibration and noise, and requires a huge foundation. It is not an ideal mechanical device.

The toggle-operated coin minting machine is easy to make, the main structure is simple to cast, and the advancement of steelmaking technology makes the toggle parts very durable. In addition, this type of coin minting machine has a fast production speed and can punch per minute.

90 times.

It doesn't matter if the number of minted coins is small, but once the minted coins reach a certain scale.

But the problem is that the cost of re-melting is actually not that high at all. A lot of it naturally flows into the pockets of the government and is then squandered.

It would be easy to exchange one directly, and then let the craftsmen of the Royal Manufacturing Directorate make a copy.

One thing to say and one thing to say is a bit disrespectful!

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the Tatars not to exploit the people.

Moreover, as long as Zhu Kezang didn't talk about Huo Hao, the officials of the new Ming Dynasty probably wouldn't be able to react.

If the Ming Dynasty had electricity now, Zhu Kezang would immediately make banknotes.

And these broken silver will eventually be melted into standard official silver according to unified standards.

By the way, another advantage of making silver coins is convenience.

If it were in Taqing, who would dare to propose a solution to the fire consumption, fearing that even the ashes would be raised!

Fortunately, the current Ming Dynasty ships are easy to turn around, and the new Ming Dynasty also has the habit of using silver coins, so there is little resistance to minting coins.

That’s a huge profit!

We will not consider gold coins for the time being, Zhu Kezang is preparing to issue silver coins!

You can also consider paper money, but you can't print too many. The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes back then were printed casually, and eventually they became so widespread that they even ruined the Ming Dynasty currency sign.

One piece can be sold for millions of taels!

So, he gave up the idea of ​​exchanging points for silver.

This wave, he is on the fifth floor!

When it comes to the use of steam power, the British are definitely awesome. They did apply steam power to coinage. However, by the beginning of the 19th century, the British still used relatively backward screw-type coinage machines.

And even if it means literally, the fire consumption belongs to the public, and it has since become a formal tax, eliminating the gray income of officials, and being uniformly distributed by the court.

That is, the monetary system is too confusing. Some use broken silver, some use Spanish silver dollars, and some use copper coins.

Here, later generations of Qing fans have been very loud about the "fire consumption returned to the public", but this does not mean that the common people do not have to spend money on fighting.

During the reheating process, there will definitely be some losses, so the government will naturally not bear these losses, but will be borne by the people. This is the source of fire losses.

The basic design of the toggle-operated coin minting machine is to use a large flywheel, which is installed on the ground behind the machine body. It has multiple connecting rods connected to the spokes of the wheel. There is a toggle on the machine body. The upper end of the toggle joint is fixed to the machine body, and the lower part is placed

The slider of the upper coin mold and the lower coin mold are fixed on the machine platform.

Moreover, precious metals are used to mint coins. As long as a little bit of iron, lead, tin, etc. are mixed into the precious metals, that will be profit.

In addition, another reason for minting silver coins is that the system is very cheap to exchange for silver.

It's better to sell goods and make money by yourself.

The standards vary from place to place. In some places, the fee for damages is as little as one yuan, and as much as six yuan or more.

It was not until 1817 that a German engineer Uhen created a more advanced toggle-operated coin minting machine.

Silver on the market has to be weighed, then judged for purity, and even used silver scissors to adjust the weight, which is very cumbersome.

Otherwise, it would look bad for such a large country to still use Spanish silver dollars.

In the past, when people paid taxes, they usually paid in small pieces of silver.

Some people may say that Yongzheng was very powerful, so he was directly punished and returned to the throne.

Silver coins have a fixed denomination and can be traded directly.

In addition, you can also take the opportunity to solve a problem, that is, fire consumption.

Wait, he discovered that it would be more profitable to exchange points for silver than to directly exchange them for luminous pearls with technology and ruthless skills.

Because it can be exchanged for a wave of future money printing machines, it has excellent anti-counterfeiting capabilities. As long as the amount of printing is not exceeded, there will be basically no problems.

Taking advantage of the time, Zhu Kezang browsed the coin-minting machines in the system, the steam-powered ones.

There is a movable joint in the joint that is connected to the main connecting rod. When rotating, the main connecting rod pushes the toggle joint. Since one end is fixed, the slider exerts downward pressure.

This is also the reason why Spanish silver dollars are so popular in the Ming Dynasty.

The problem of fire consumption can be easily solved by casting silver coins or banknotes. These silver coins and banknotes have fixed face values, and there is also a hammer fire consumption.

However, officials all over the world are benefiting from the matter of fire consumption. It is definitely in deep water and cannot be touched.

Zhu Kezang discovered that the system mall costs a lot of points to exchange for technology items, and the points consumed for resource-based materials such as those on the street are not very high.

Moreover, there is another difficulty with banknotes, which is to prevent counterfeiting.

Moreover, it can produce various coins with toothed edges, smooth edges, lettered edges and other designs, so it is widely welcomed.

If you really don’t have any money, just use your precious points to exchange for one.

1 point can be exchanged for 1 ton of silver. The weight of 1 tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is 37.3 grams. 1 point is equivalent to about 27,000 taels of silver.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty and Zheng Dynasty were just a small political power. They could just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. But now that they have established a new dynasty, they need to pay more attention to it.

At this time, each connecting rod moves along with the flywheel to operate other devices, such as pushing the automatic feeding clamp device. The characteristics of each connecting rod at different positions of the flywheel spokes are cleverly used to produce a synchronized matching effect.

In addition, this kind of machine is very durable, with some lifespans exceeding 125 years! Its basic design has not changed in the more than 100 years since its introduction.

It was decided that it was the one, "System, redeem the toggle-operated coin minting machine!"
