Chapter 185 Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Daming Dragon Coin

By the way, the printing equipment for banknotes also needs to keep up.

The face value of a silver coin matches its weight, so it cannot be too high or too small.

Therefore, appropriate banknote replenishment is also necessary!

Even if the common people use it less, they must have it.

After Zhu Kezang browsed the system, he spent 50 points to purchase a set of banknote printing equipment from the British De La Rue Company in 1860.

De La Rue Company is a poker player, and its banknotes are favored by many countries due to their exquisite craftsmanship and top-notch anti-counterfeiting technology.

So here’s the problem, banknotes require precious metals as collateral!

Yes, aluminum is also very cheap to exchange in the system. You can exchange it for a ton of aluminum ingots with just 1 point.

Aluminum was cheap in later generations, but in this era, it is more valuable than gold.

In fact, there is no shortage of aluminum in nature, and the storage amount is very large, but it all exists in the form of compounds.

There is very little natural pure aluminum, so it is extremely expensive.

In ancient times and even in modern times, it was very difficult to refine aluminum, and it was difficult for craftsmen to separate pure aluminum.

This currency production factory, equipped with toggle-operated coin minting machines and printing presses that were ahead of its time, is currently the top secret of the Ming Dynasty!

It is of a higher level than the steel mills of the Royal Manufacturing Directorate.

Due to his outstanding performance in the battles to conquer the Satsuma Domain and the Dutch East India Company, Chen Weiguo was directly promoted by Zhu Kezang to be the envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiweinan Town after his enthronement ceremony.

Since it is under military management, the implementation process of the mint is very fast.

In short, although Zhu Kezang was not a real member of the Zhu family, he still burned one of the portraits he saw.

In the paintings of Qing Dynasty painters, Zhu Yuanzhang not only has a crescent-shaped face, but also has a hunched back, shrunken shoulders, and a face full of pockmarks. Judging from the situation, Kang Mazi, who had suffered from smallpox, was not as serious as him.

Zhu Kezang felt that the reason why Lao Zhu was smeared was not only because of Tatar attacks, but also because Lao Zhu had offended officials and the literati class. After all, the anti-corruption campaign was too ruthless.

In fact, in "The Imperial Tomb Stele of the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not conceal his past life as a monk, the uprising, etc., he even took the initiative to confess it.

The dark one is too dark. Those portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang with a handsome face on later generations were basically painted by painters from the Qing Dynasty. It is really shameless.

"If Lao Zhu knew that his face was printed on banknotes, he would probably thank me!" Zhu Kezang thought to himself.

In fact, it is a combination of 1, 2, 5, and 10 with cents, dimes, and yuan, making a total of 12 denominations.

In addition, in the past few years, he has become the top leader of the new Ming Dynasty and has a very impressive temperament.

There is nothing special about the background of the banknotes at the cent and angular level. To the north is the beautiful scenery of the Ming Dynasty’s homeland, such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Great Wall, the Three Mountains and the Five Sacred Mountains, etc. On the front are the green dragon, white tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu totems of the four mythical beasts.

The reverse side of 1 Yuan, 2 Yuan and 5 Yuan is the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, and the front side is the portrait of an inevitable character.

Due to the slow development of Jinyiwei, currently only Nanzhen Fusi has been established, and there is no sign of Beizhen Fusi. We may have to wait until we move to the Central Plains before we have the manpower to develop it.

At this point, overnight, aluminum is no longer a precious metal.

Because Zhu Kezang’s Ming Dynasty did not have electricity yet, he could only redeem one ton in the system first.

On December 1, the first edition of banknotes and silver coins of the New Ming Dynasty were delivered to Zhu Kezang’s desk.

He even made swords and guns and wore dragon robes, which can be said to be a heinous act that filled the public with boiling resentment. If Zhu Yuanzhang had not fought corruption with an iron fist, the Ming Dynasty would have become extremely corrupt. You will know this if you look up what crimes Zhu Liangzu and Zhou Dexing committed. One is

He oppressed the people, and his one son defiled the palace.

It is personally managed by Jinyiweinan Town Fusi.

The Tatars slandered Lao Zhu in all aspects. Many unofficial histories recorded many things that smeared Zhu Yuanzhang. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang was very taboo about words such as "monk" and "bald" because he hated others knowing that he was a monk.

past.

This was believed by later historians to be a symbol of the start of the Ming Dynasty's silver dollar offensive.

In other words, if you travel to ancient times, you only need to bring back an aluminum pot lid.

The 2-yuan banknote is printed with a portrait of Zhu Kezang’s father, Zhu Jin.

As for the Ming Dynasty, then we definitely can’t do anything with the Emperors of Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, and Song.

However, it is understandable that for the sake of rule, the Tatar Qing Dynasty will definitely smear Zhu Yuanzhang, and smearing about his appearance is naturally indispensable.

The 5 yuan banknote is printed with the portrait of Mr. Guo!

As for the largest denomination of 10 yuan, its back is the same as all the above!

On the back is a soaring five-clawed golden dragon, and on the front is the handsome and mighty face of Emperor Zhu Da, a graceful young emperor with a jade tree facing the wind.

The portrait of Taizu collected in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing was adopted for the 1-yuan banknote of the new Ming Dynasty. It looks like a dignified, dignified middle-aged man.

Congratulations, you have made a fortune!

Interestingly, Napoleon III once made a rattle out of aluminum for his crown prince.

The new banknotes have a minimum face value of 1 cent, which is equivalent to 1 penny.

However, at that time, it was a top-notch luxury product, and there were few in the world.

The portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang is printed on the 1 yuan banknote.

Of course, what Zhu Kezang adopted was certainly not the Shoehorn-faced portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Qing Dynasty.

One thing cannot be denied, that is, Lao Zhu did kill many heroes, but at the same time, it is undeniable that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many heroes quickly became corrupt and degenerate, becoming more hateful bullies than the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty. They killed people, set fires, bullied the weak, and occupied

Land, tax evasion, adultery with women, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, corruption and bribery.

Yuan-level banknotes are special.

No need for any beautification, Zhu Kezang is a handsome boy in person.

It was not until 1886 that C. M. Hall of the United States and P. Ayrou of France invented the electrolytic aluminum smelting method respectively, which completely solved the problem of aluminum.

After all, Lao Zhu can be regarded as half a son-in-law. If his appearance is really so scary, he will not be favored by Empress Ma and marry him.

To the west of Chengtian Fucheng, in a hidden valley in the middle of the Yizhou Island Mountains, a small factory building rose up silently.

At present, the functions of Nanzhen Fusi include: collecting intelligence on Nanyang and the southeastern coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty, supervising hundreds of officials, and being responsible for minting coins and maintaining the absolute safety of the mint.

Therefore, it was difficult to obtain metal aluminum in ancient times, and it was naturally extremely valuable.

Today, this kind of rattle seems so shabby that even country children would not regard it as a rarity.

Emperor Zhu Da, who claimed to be the savior of the new Ming Dynasty, felt that his contribution was worthy of a 10-yuan bill.

As for the name of the banknotes, Zhu Kezang thought about it and decided to call it the Ming Dynasty Dragon Coin!

After all, behind the 10-yuan note, the largest denomination, is a five-clawed golden dragon.

That’s it, called Dragon Coin for short.

We can't just call it Ming (Ming) coin, it's so unlucky.
