Chapter 634 County Honor

"How, can you imitate this?"

Li Chaosheng looked at a group of high-ranking officials in Lantian and asked, and everyone fell silent when they heard the words. They looked at the banknote in their hands and their eyes sparkled. This banknote is good. Not only is the design novel, it is difficult to imitate, and the most wonderful thing is the paper used. It is similar to kraft paper, but its material is several times better than kraft paper. It is not something that Daming's industry can imitate. As long as there is this kind of paper, other forces will not be able to imitate it.

"It cannot be imitated."

"It cannot be imitated."

At this time, the old horse from the Ministry of Finance, the director of the bank, Zuo Sansi, and Guzi all shook their heads. This thing can't be copied at all. It's not that the ability to counterfeit is not good, but this kind of paper cannot be copied with current technology.

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng said, "Close the curtains."

Li Chaosheng waved his hand, the next moment the guards immediately closed all the curtains, and the next moment the room was dark, followed Li Chaosheng and said, "Look at the money in your hand."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the banknotes in their hands, and saw that the banknotes were still shining silver in the dark. There was a shiny astigmatism ribbon on the banknotes. If you looked carefully, there was a line of small characters on it: Lantian People's Bank .

"I'm stupid, this..."

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw this. How did this happen? This is not the technology that should exist in this era.

At this time Li Chaosheng said: "Open the curtain."

The curtain opened, Li Chaosheng said: "Let me talk about this money. This money is made of offset paper that is impossible in this era. I brought it back from the fairy world. It is difficult to imitate it with our Daming's technological level." It's not that big."

"And I've been working hard on this money. The first is the fluorescent strips you saw just now, which are pressed in with special technology. You can have people imitate this. They want to find this fluorescent powder with fluorescent functions. It’s a huge problem, and secondly, when you touch the 100 characters on the coins, you can obviously feel the unevenness, this kind of water ripple technology is not imitated by anyone who says it can be imitated.”

"With all these aspects added up, do you think the anti-counterfeiting of this banknote is still a problem?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the crowd, and after hearing this, the crowd fell silent. Guo Bao touched the coin in his hand, then looked up at Li Chaosheng and said, "Master, how much of this kind of banknote can you provide?"

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "As much as I want, as long as I am willing, I can print out the money of our Lantian for the next ten years in one month, and one year's work will be enough for our Lantian's future development for 50 years."

After hearing this, Guo Bao's eyes lit up. With such a large output, he thought of Guo Bao and said, "What about the production cost?"

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this. For Lan Tian, ​​the cost is zero, because these costs are all the cost of the printing factory he opened in the real world.

In reality, Li Chaosheng took over a closed printing factory. The machines are very old, but there is no problem at all in printing this kind of new currency in Lantian, which looks like a promotional coloring page.

But in reality, the cost of such a stack of banknotes is about five cents, and the purchasing power of such a stack of money in Lantian is astonishing. Therefore, as long as Li Chaosheng is willing, the little money in the real world can easily make up for it. Come on, for example, take such banknotes that cost five cents, buy a piece of Hetian jade seed material at the end of Ming Dynasty, and sell it to the real world. If all the money from the sale is used to produce banknotes, you can buy half of Lantian county.

In this world, except for the crouching dragon and phoenix chick who spent 20 yuan to print 17 counterfeit money, if you didn't hear that serious money printing would lose money.

Therefore, this deal is a guaranteed profit, and it is of great significance to Li Chaosheng.

If banknotes can be issued normally in Lantian, then Li Chaosheng's economic control over Lantian can reach an unprecedented level. It can even be said that from now on, he will no longer be afraid of any force launching a commercial war against Lantian in any way.

As long as banknotes can be implemented, then the Lantian government's control over the market is decisive, and any capital force will have to kneel down obediently here in Lantian.

Because no matter how strong your capital is, our Lantian holds the right to mint coins.

You use [-] million taels of silver to interfere with the Lantian market, but when it arrives in Lantian, it will be [-] million banknotes. Seeing that the situation is not good, the Lantian government can immediately print another [-] million, [-] million, or even [-] billion [-] million to dilute the [-] million. The influence of taels of silver on Lantian.

Therefore, once the Lantian banknotes are successfully implemented, Li Chaosheng will occupy an undefeated position in the economy. Even if one day Lantian falls into the same situation as Daming, and the financial deficit is serious, it does not matter. If the water is released, the government will have money immediately.

As for inflation, as long as it is within the controllable range, it doesn't matter. After all, it is better than the subjugation of the country. If Chongzhen knew this method, how could it be mixed up to this point.

So as long as banknotes can be circulated, money is not a big deal for Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng can control the money in the entire Lantian, but he just needs some means.

Moreover, Li Chaosheng is reading economics-related books, and has a new understanding of currency.

For example, the advantages and disadvantages of the country's large-scale water release policy. Although the country's large-scale water release will lead to inflation, it is not good for the people personally, but it is of great significance to the country.

Firstly, more money will stimulate domestic demand, construction industry, industry, those who need to invest money but have no money, can use watermark money to support them. The development of the construction industry can drive related industries, such as cement building materials, And so on, and the government can also buy land to make money.

It can quickly develop the economy and make the economy fire up.

The second reason is that it can dilute the money of the rich. Rich people, such as the first rich in Lantian, have a lot of money in their hands. But in recent years, Li Chaosheng discovered that these people have a problem. I just don't want to spend money. I used to dig a cellar to bury the money, and then deposited it in the bank to earn interest.

But if you don’t spend it, you must know that wealth is innumerable, and the value of wealth is linked to the fruits of labor of the people. If the rich save their money and don’t let it flow, there will be less money in the market, and the demand will not be stimulated. The economy has to go backwards, and the consequences are very serious.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to make the money flow and develop the economy, but you can't use a knife to force the rich to spend money. This is unrealistic. Li Chaosheng didn't have a good way before.

Silver coins need silver as support, which itself is a rare resource. Without silver, Li Chaosheng cannot manipulate the currency, but as long as the paper money is released, it will be easy.

I issue some extra money every year to depreciate the currency, so that the money you keep in the bank will become less and less valuable, forcing you to spend it.

Well, I am a local tyrant, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t spend money. As I said earlier, money is actually the concrete embodiment of the labor value of ordinary people. If the output value of ordinary people this year is 100 yuan, and you deposit 90 yuan in the bank, then the market can Only [-] yuan is left in circulation, and [-]% of the labor value has been sealed up, which cannot produce value for social development, which is not good for society.

So we issued an extra 100 yuan, then the market value is 200 yuan, you deposit ten yuan, but now the market is 190 yuan, that is to say, the ten yuan sealed in the bank only accounts for 5.00% 5.00% of the output value released can be put into the society, stimulating social demand and improving social development.

This is also a very good way to control the market, so if the pen and paper are successfully launched, then for the Lantian government, it is equivalent to grasping the economic lifeline of Lantian, which can accelerate the economic development of Lantian, and is of great importance to the development of Lantian. effect.

"How about everyone, who agrees and who opposes the issuance of banknotes in Lantian?"

Li Chaosheng glanced at everyone, and at this moment, Guo Bao, who was the first to object just now, raised his hand and said, "I agree, and I said that the county's deeds are very wise. Sure enough, as soon as this banknote is issued, our government's control over the economy will be greatly improved." , It has reached an unprecedented level, all the worries just now are useless, I suggest that we can promote the first version of Lantian banknotes."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Guo Bao with contempt, as if you were the one who objected the loudest just now, you have become a fan of the county magistrate in the blink of an eye, and you are too shameless.

Guo Bao looked at the eyes cast by everyone, with a look of indifference, face, what is that, and what's the use?Never heard of it.

Gu Zi said: "I propose, show your hands to vote, those who agree!"

After hearing this, Guo Bao was the first to raise his hand, followed by everyone else, and finally it was passed unanimously, Lantian issued banknotes, this is an administrative order.

Well, the administrative order has been reached, so the next step is to list the difficulties faced.

The anti-counterfeiting problem of banknotes has been solved, which lays a foundation for the promotion of Lantian banknotes, and sets a big goal, banknotes must be made.

Once the goal is determined, it is difficult to implement it. Is it difficult?
It is too difficult. The first difficulty in promoting banknotes is that ordinary people do not approve of banknotes. Zhu Yuanzhang made a mess of this thing more than 200 years ago. The common people cannot touch real money. He murmured in his heart.

In this regard, Li Chaosheng carried out the following measures.

The First Bank prepares enough reserves to ensure that every banknote issued by Lantian can be exchanged for a corresponding amount of silver dollars or copper coins immediately at the bank.

In this regard, the 2000 million taels of silver obtained this time will be useful, and the silver will be used as a currency reserve to deal with the people's frenzy of exchange.

At the beginning of the issuance, some people will definitely have doubts, and problems such as bank exchange will definitely occur on a large scale.

Secondly, from the date of paper currency issuance, all government-controlled enterprises in Lantian must accept banknotes, especially livelihood enterprises, such as Lantian Grain Sales Office, Lantian Non-staple Food Market, Vegetable Market, and other government-controlled enterprises. Banknotes are accepted.

To make banknotes have a good circulation.

Secondly, the common people are allowed to use paper money as currency to pay taxes. All tax collection units of government agencies should use paper money as currency with the same value as copper coins and silver coins, and receipts and other behaviors are not allowed.

Third, all Lantian subordinate officials, civil servants, and Lantian factory workers must use banknotes for settlement of wages.

Of course, they are allowed to go to the bank to exchange for silver dollars, and they should be encouraged to go directly to the market for consumption.

"Well, the issuance of banknotes must have a lot of resistance. The common people will definitely not accept it at first, but it doesn't matter. It's just a labor pain. When we ensure the circulation of the banknotes, and when the common people find that the banknotes can really be spent as money, They will slowly accept banknotes, and of course it will take a process, during which time people will frantically go to the bank to exchange coins, and the banks must withstand the pressure.”

"Assurance deposit, you must also prepare adequately. No commoner is allowed to fail to exchange corresponding silver coins at Lantian Bank."

"Of course, during this process, we must severely crack down on counterfeit money. Although our banknotes are difficult to counterfeit, there will always be people who will take risks. Maybe they will write a hundred silver dollars on a piece of white paper, and they will dare to exchange them at the bank. When they meet such people , to inform the relevant law enforcement agencies, and catch one if they see one.”

"If you don't understand and are used as a gun by bad people, then you must criticize and educate the parties involved, and you must catch those who are behind the scenes, and impose the most severe criminal laws on them, up to the death penalty."

"Also, the Lantian propaganda department must keep up with the propaganda, tell the people what is real money and what is fake money, and must emphasize that the consequences of making fake money, reaching a certain amount, can be executed. In this extraordinary period, we must use Heavy Code."

"So in addition to the military department, all administrative policies in Lantian will be closer to the promotion of banknotes. We will set up a special propaganda department to train the village chiefs, deputy chiefs, and other relevant personnel in each township to have a full understanding of banknotes. Recognition, let them tell the common people what is real banknotes and what is fake money, I think this is not difficult, with the material of our money, the common people will definitely know it as soon as they hit their hands."

"Then that's all I've said. Do you have anything to add?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the people present, at this moment Zuo San thought and said: "Master Xian, I have a problem."

"Say."

Li Chaosheng asked, and after hearing this, he thought twice: "Xianzun, what are the denominations of the banknotes?"

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "It should be symmetrical with the denomination of the Lantian copper coins circulating in the market. The maximum can be one silver dollar."

"Oh, I see the magistrate."

Zuo Sansi nodded, and Gu Zi said, "Xianzun, do foreign merchants need to use banknotes?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Small merchants can use silver coins first, and large merchants must exchange silver for banknotes before purchasing bulk commodities."

"Ah, will this prevent them from buying our Lantian products?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "It's not that we don't give them things, but we just let them have an extra exchange process, allowing them to exchange a small amount of banknotes first, and then buy goods. If they are still not at ease, let them fuck off. The goods are not worrying about selling, they are asking us."

"It's the county magistrate."

Guo Bao nodded, at this time Li Chaosheng said: "Are there any questions?"
