Chapter 17 Issuing currency
The specifications and styles of the banknotes to be issued, as well as the most important denominations and currency units, were also discussed.
According to previous experience and Yang Song’s suggestion, special pigments were added to the paper used for banknotes for anti-counterfeiting to make a special banknote paper. This pigment looks different in different directions.
Then let the engraver engrave the special mold directly with steel, which is very difficult. There is a small row of holes in the mold, and a special movable type template can be used to form a code in the hole, so that each banknote has a different code. In other parts of the mold, there are different patterns and characters, which are basically based on the previous currency, and the patterns can still be touched when printed on paper, which requires a high level of engraving skills.
Then there are the pigments for printing. The two colors of red and black are the main colors, and the two colors of yellow and green are the secondary colors. They are all extracted from specific plants.
The last banknote issued is rectangular and the size of a palm. The denominations are: 1 liter, 5 liters, 10 liters, 20 liters, 50 liters, 1 jin, 2 jins, 5 jins, and 1 two nine kinds-this is also Yang Song’s final decision.
“Wen” and “liang” are actually the currency units of ancient Chinese coins. The denomination value of currency is determined by the weight of the silver standard, and it has no effect when used as banknotes. This can be regarded as a comfort to make up for Yang Song’s regret that he can’t use gold and silver coins himself!
Finally, in order to be linked to gold, a currency that can be used for circulation but is forbidden to be exchanged was made: gold coins!
gold coins have exquisite patterns and anti-scratch teeth, and the face value is 10 taels. The weight is one tael of gold, which means that twelve taels of banknotes are equivalent to one tael of gold.
Yang Song asked Qian Liang to form a bank (the bank’s operating model), print and manufacture currency models, and then wait for the official release after the New Year.
The time of implementing private ownership at the same time is also on the same day, that is the first day of the new year-the first day of the new year!
Next, it was decided that the official salary system is paid in paper money, divided into monthly salaries and year-end bonuses. The monthly salaries are paid at the beginning of each month, and the end-of-year bonuses are drawn up according to the financial situation after the year-end performance evaluation.
It is provisionally stipulated that staff members are 1 tael and 5 tael per month, deputy town-level officials 2 tael, town level 3 taels, deputy county level 4 taels, and county level 5 taels. Using this amount as the standard value, and then adjust it according to the job content and position, the busy, difficult, and dangerous position will be increased a bit, and the less busy position will be decreased.
In fact, a small-scale private ownership has been implemented a year ago, and that is the land ownership of wasteland. It is just an incentive measure to encourage wasteland. It is not specific to all aspects. Now is the time to fully implement it.
The land reclamation quota of up to 20 acres per person has not been completed yet, and it is not that no one has opened up to 20 acres. It is just that the productivity of this era cannot complete the production of so much land. Every farmer takes good care of ten per year. Mu of land is already the reason for being strong and hardworking. Therefore, many people choose to sell the land that they can’t take care of and clear up wasteland to the government in exchange for other needed materials, such as the property rights of cattle and houses. For this reason, the first people in the territory to live a life without debts are hard-working farmers.
Because the territory stipulates that the land belonging to the land cannot be abandoned, the surplus land recovered is used to distribute to the people who need the land later. Of course, the land allocated is given to the new people in the form of lease, otherwise it will be for the first time. It was too unfair for the people who came to open up wasteland. As long as the territory recovers the cost of reclaiming the land, the land will eventually be handed over to the people who plant it.
In addition to the land ownership of wasteland, other industries also have their own incentive measures, so the implementation of private ownership is not as difficult as thought, and basically it has become popular.
In addition to currency and land, the distribution of other properties is the real estate.
The houses are all territories and no rewards are given to private individuals. So this time Yang Song decided to set a price for the houses. It was not that he was not generous, but that these houses were all costly, and even the rewards of the system would be counted together. On, this is for fairness! You have to know that there is no need to worry about it! This is also something that management must pay attention to.
And the price of the real estate is not expensive, it is just the cost price (including labor costs), as long as you work hard for one to three years, you can buy a standard house. Don’t think it takes a long time. These standard houses were all independent two-story cottages in the past!
The various materials in the territory are worthless as long as they can be found in the wild. There are only labor costs and time costs. So sometimes Yang Song feels that there are still many benefits to open wasteland in the new world, at least without Chen Ke’s complicated interpersonal relationships and All kinds of unnecessary scruples to think about troubles. This is also one of the reasons for the rapid development of the territory now!
Yang Song is not afraid of things like “grain prices hurting farmers”. Anyway, he wants to carry out macro-control, and he is not afraid of the violation of the people’s yin and the sun, which will drive up prices-he has the final say in this territory!
In order to prevent all the people from rushing to open up wasteland and no one to go to work in the factory or directly under the land, he made a promise: as long as he has worked in the lord’s field or factory for three years, he can get a standard house for free without additional money .
Whether it is the factory or the high-quality fields outside the city, people need to work-these are the property of the territory or Yang Song’s property. Territory implements the private ownership of land.
As mentioned earlier, the land for reclamation is privately owned, because the Chinese people’s obsession with land is obvious to all. In the past, it was public ownership, and everyone was allocated according to needs. Now they are free to choose their jobs and all go to open up wasteland and plant land. It is very possible that people go to work in factories or other positions.
The factories in the territory are nothing more than large-scale comprehensive workshops of centralized handicrafts. They are only a high-quality power away from the realistic factories and then undergo certain rectifications. Therefore, Yang Song also set high wages and welfare holidays for the workers. The system is still in line with the treatment of the army (second only to the army).
Ordinary soldiers are 1 tael and 5 taels per month, 2 taels at the super leader level, 3 taels at the captain level, and 4 taels at the command level. The wages of farmers and workers serving the territory are adjusted to a standard of 1 tael per person per month; for skilled workers, a provisional provision of 12 cents a month, a teacher’s provisional provision of 15 cents a month, etc., etc., all of which are detailed Provisions.
Of course, this is only a tentative decision. It will be adjusted according to the economic situation in the future, and the money cannot be recovered temporarily because the money has been sent out. There are not many types of goods in the territory, so the purchasing power of the money is still very strong.
In order to circulate the currency, Yang Song decided to mark the price of the surplus land from wasteland, and the houses, workshops and shops were also sold at the clear price, so as to inspire the people’s work passion and currency in circulation, so that it would not easily collapse. .
Compared with gold and silver as general equivalent exchanges, Yang Song regarded these properties as equivalent exchanges. This is also one of the ways to improve the credibility of the territory’s currency.
With these various measures, Yang Song has a good understanding of the banknotes to be issued, and is confident that the people will accept it. After the currency is implemented, the economic development of the territory will usher in a period of rising.
Actually, it has been almost three years since he came to this world. The various decisions he made were all to lay a solid foundation for the territory. Starting from high-rise buildings on the ground, without a good foundation, the future development is not known! Now it seems that there is no qualitative change in the territory, but all the current construction, including system construction, provides infinite potential for future development!

Yang Song sat at the desk in the study, watching the fine rain outside the window, listening to the insects from time to time in the small courtyard, quietly experiencing the tranquility of the moment after the busy, and slowly recalling the scenes of the past, I don’t know how deep it is. Deep or softly sighed, “Hey, it’s a long way to go!”
I want to come to this strange world, and there is a group of strangers who say they are allegiance to him. All kinds of voices, behaviors, appearances and environments are completely strange. Today, all “unfamiliars” have become “familiar”, and the uneasy when he first came have been calm and calm now. The changes that have taken place in him cannot even be believed by him. He can only say that people are forced out, and fortunately He is not a Dou who can’t afford it.

Time soon came to the end of the year, and a year-end banquet was held as usual in the mansion of the lord. The banquet was for the main officials and other important personnel of the territory and outstanding representatives of various industries. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
“This is really not a small growth! Even a banquet has a political color, I can think of what is a political need!” Yang Song sat in the main seat holding a wine glass, looking at the lively scene around, with a face Smiling to deal with the compliments of his subordinates, thinking in his heart is completely irresistible.
“The lord is still wise. I used to think that private ownership must be implemented, but the lord knows when to implement it. No, after today, we will be busy with our annual vacation! Haha…” Qian Liang sat down. Toasting with a smile, complimented.
“You blame the lord for not giving you a holiday?” Yang Zhong pretended to blame.
“How dare you, your subordinates are just happy for a better tomorrow. How can you blame the lord? The subordinates would rather not have holidays, and be diligent every day, but also realize the lord’s grand aspirations. To help the lord, the subordinates are even smashed to pieces. Don’t hesitate to die!”
“Haha… I like the sentence for a better tomorrow, but I don’t have any big ambitions. I only want people to have a better tomorrow. In this new world, for the people of China to live and work in peace and contentment, for For a better tomorrow, I hope you all can encourage you!” With a smile, Yang Song looked at the important officials present, and stood up to raise his glass!
“Wish to encourage you together!”
“Wish to encourage you together!”
…
After the banquet, it was a busy year, especially at the end of this year. On the first day of the new year, the territory will give the people of the territory a red envelope-pay the salary that everyone should have received over the years according to the work situation of everyone in the past three years!
In the past, during the public ownership period, the distribution was based on needs, and the work situation was also arranged according to the needs and the individual situation. Therefore, there is no salary. Now private ownership is to be implemented. Yang Song decided to start with a big red envelope!
