Star Sea Hunter

Chapter 547 Currency New Deal

In the Imperial Palace, in the Royal Study Room.

Yun Haoyu finished reviewing the stack of documents just sent by the Prime Minister of the Empire, and signed his name.Then he was sent by the female officer next to him.

To suddenly lay down such a huge empire, there are so many things to do in every aspect. In addition, some time ago, the power of the aristocratic family was cleaned up, and then the central government had to be appeased, and the army was also busy preparing for war.The emperor and ministers of the empire haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two months!

Yun Haoyu simply asked Zhong Mingrui to move the office of the cabinet from outside the imperial palace to a side hall next to the imperial study, with a corridor between them, so they could come over to discuss immediately when they had something to do.

In this era, although many government affairs can be handled on the optical brain, if necessary, notify the heads of the various departments below to hold a video conference, and most things can be decided!But there are always some extremely confidential issues that cannot be recorded into the optical brain, or even written down, but can only be passed on orally and agreed upon among a very small number of power core figures!This requires a meeting.

It was already night, and he looked at the optical brain in front of him. Today's affairs were finally dealt with, and it would be all done in about ten minutes. He felt a little relieved.

"Your Majesty!" Shuang Yan came over to ask for instructions, "It's time for dinner, look..."

"Let them send it over!" Yun Haoyu said casually, "Go to the Prime Minister's side to see, there are still a few people left, call them over and use them together!"

"Yes!"

After a while, groups of palace ladies in colorful clothes filed in.Under the command of the head waiter, the tables and chairs were set up, covered with white tablecloths, and the tableware was placed, and then the delicate crystal dinner plates were taken out of the food box, and after placing them one by one, Shuang Yan carefully examined the dishes. Once again, after confirming that there are no mistakes, I went to invite the emperor to come and take a seat.

Then, Zhong Mingrui also arrived, followed by Meng Xuan, Crassus, Trump and others.

Yun Haoyu walked down the jade steps, and greeted with a smile: "Everyone don't need to be formal, just sit down and use it!"

Saying that, he sat down on the main seat first.

After all the officials smiled and thanked, they sat down one after another, only Meng Xuan came over with two boxes and said to him: "Your Majesty, you should solve this problem first before eating!"

"What is it?" He asked helplessly who had just picked up his wine glass.

She opened the box, and on the blue velvet cushion, there were more than a dozen metal coins of different sizes and exquisite appearance.

"This is..." Yun Haoyu took a look and understood.

"This is the pattern of the new currency made by the designers of the Ministry of Finance," she explained, "Look at it, if you are satisfied, then decide it! Counting the preparation time, it will be officially issued in a month's time! "

Now that the empire has changed its owner, the issuance of new currency has become its due meaning, and it cannot be delayed for a long time.Therefore, as soon as Mengxuan arrived in the imperial capital, she ordered the Ministry of Finance to carry out this important event.

Those design masters who have a long list of prominent titles and are well-known throughout the empire, took this matter as a political task, and after working hard for half a month, they came up with their most proud works.

After reading it, Meng Xuan selected three out of more than a dozen design proposals according to Yun Haoyu's preferences, and then asked the design center to make samples and send them to him today for review.

The coin is made of five kinds of high-melting point metals and is divided into eight denominations of one cent, five cents and ten cents; the second layer of the box is a stack of beautifully printed banknotes, which are divided into twelve denominations, and the unit is credit points.

Both coins and banknotes have three different designs, divided into three types: light red, blue, and silver, and the patterns on them are also different.

He looked at it for a while, and said: "The design is good, but, can I not use my avatar on it? It looks a bit awkward!"

Meng Xuan asked suspiciously: "You don't need your avatar, Your Majesty? Then who should use it? Is there anyone more suitable than you?"

Trump quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty! Use the portrait of the head of state as the front pattern on the currency! This has been a common practice since the earth age, and it is also a common practice in all countries in the Star Sea today! Therefore, Miss Mengxuan's There is nothing wrong with doing it!"

"That's what I said, but those heads of state and kings are all great men with star-studded reputations, and their achievements and reputations are extremely prominent. Many of them are even founding heroes..." He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking.

Sure enough, Crassus smiled and said: "Your Majesty, aren't you? Why can't you have the privileges they all have? Are you not as good as those so-called great kings?"

After staring at the coins for a while, he finally understood what the problem was!

Compared with the usual portraits of great men, his monarch is really too young!Those princes and kings who are qualified to have their portraits printed on coins are all elderly people, or at least middle-aged people!For example, the currency used by the people of the empire in the past, the pattern on it is the founder of the Shuofeng Empire: a majestic old man with white hair!

In the history of the human world, kings in their twenties are not uncommon, but they are all descendants of dragons and phoenixes who have taken over the power from their parents, or at least have a very strong family background with a solid foundation, and it is natural for them to become emperors Easier!It's really hard to find similar examples of the founder of a country like him who conquered such a large country in a way that was almost self-made!

As they said, if the portrait of the founder of the country is not used, who in the Starlight Empire is more qualified than him to have his portrait printed on the currency of the empire?

"Your Majesty, I can understand your concerns, but being young has never been a shortcoming! On the contrary, I think this can better reflect the advantages and characteristics of the empire!" Trump persuaded again, "The Star Empire is in your hands It was born, and in just a few years, the grand structure of today has been formed! The empire is like the rising sun, and the prosperity of the country is rare in ancient and modern times! The future achievements are even more limitless! This is really not an unacceptable problem!"

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that what they said was indeed reasonable, and he was not a hypocritical person, so he no longer refused.

The second box contained coins in units of source crystals.

Coins are smelted from source crystal mixed with fifteen kinds of rare metals, and are also divided into eight denominations. Banknotes are processed from cloud crystal mixed with precious metals such as blue gold sand, and are divided into twelve denominations.Of course, the scope of application of this currency is much smaller, and only people with supernatural powers and high society can afford it.

However, in this era, electronic transactions have become a method generally accepted by all levels of the empire!Few people bring a lot of physical coins when they go out.Moreover, the empire also has a decree that the exchange of funds exceeding a certain amount must be carried out in the form of electronic payment!So today's physical currency is more of a political symbol, and then it is the meaning of commemorative collection!

"Okay! Then it's settled!" He compared it and finally chose the light blue design.After signing the document that Meng Xuan handed over and affixing the seal, the decree came into force.

The major mints under the Ministry of Finance of the Empire have already been ready, and they can start full-scale operation with an order after she returns, and enough currency for issuance can be stored in a month's time!At that time, all electronic transactions on the Internet will be based on the new currency!

"The remaining two designs are also very good, let's produce some of them!" He said to Meng Xuan again.

"Why is that?" She asked with some doubts.

Yun Haoyu smiled and said: "I plan to treat it as a gift and give it to the meritorious officials of the empire respectively. Everyone has a share! Isn't this a good proposal?"

"Oh, that's it!" She blinked and nodded in agreement.

Although these two currencies are not issued to the public, they still have collection value. As long as the last 80 or [-] years pass, their value will rise to an astonishing level!The emperor's plan is to distribute some benefits to the ministers of the empire in this way, and it is a benefit that can benefit future generations!

Trump hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, since the new currency will be issued in a month's time, the exchange business with the old currency of the previous dynasty will also start simultaneously, this..."

"That's right! This is what should be done. Is there any problem?" Yun Haoyu looked at him puzzled.

This veteran minister had been in charge of the Ministry of Finance of the Shuofeng Empire for more than 20 years, and he could be regarded as an extremely professional technical minister.It's just that he's old, and he's a bit tactful, timid, and a sloppy person.When Zhu Zhaoyuan was in power, she saw that he was always obedient, so she didn't make things difficult for him, and still let him manage the affairs of the Ministry of Finance.

After Yun Haoyu entered the imperial capital, he reviewed his resume and found that he had not committed any evil things, but he was a little bit greedy for petty gain.So he decided to continue the appointment and let him be Meng Xuan's deputy.

He looked at the emperor's face, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty! How do you calculate the ratio of the old and new currency exchange? Make up your mind!"

This is a relatively sensitive issue. In the past history of Xinghai World, many newly established regimes, when dealing with such issues, deliberately lowered the currency value of the previous dynasty for their own benefit. A method that is close to robbing to make money!Few are willing to exchange for equivalent value!

"I want to hear your opinion!" He said calmly.

Trump said nervously: "If you feel that the empire's finances are in some difficulty, then set it at one to two! Or, one to three is also fine!"

Meng Xuan frowned slightly, and looked at him with some displeasure.

He couldn't help being startled, and quickly said: "Otherwise, let's... one to four!"

The new currency is one and the old currency is four. If this is really the case, it means that three-quarters of the wealth in the pockets of the common people will flow to the empire!

"You really think for me!" Yun Haoyu snorted coldly, "If I really listen to you, it's no wonder the people of the empire don't scold me to death!"

"One-to-one exchange! That's it!"

Meng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's eat! If you keep talking, I will faint from hunger!" Yun Haoyu couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks.
