Huang Xiao saw Zhang Yan looking at him with great emotion, and he said with emotion: "But I am also lucky. I had my elder brother's full support before, and now my sister-in-law also takes good care of me. Otherwise, I would not be in the current situation. This The achievement of the goal is not due to me alone. It includes the support of my elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as the support of countless people such as Mr. Song! My sister-in-law must not praise me, hey, you know, I can’t stand praise! I get carried away easily. !”
Zhang Yanran smiled.
Huang Xiao said: "Actually, I have always planned to implement currency reform in the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, there are too many things to do and I am too lazy. In addition, this is a very complicated and systematic project, so I have to be cautious. , wait until the time is right and then change it, what do you say, sister-in-law?"
Zhang Yan said: "My sister-in-law supports you! Why do you want to change?"
Huang Xiao said: "This is a long story..."
Zhang Yan interrupted: "Then just say it briefly, you have to go to Liaodong tomorrow, you can't say it's too late."
Huang Xiao nodded, "The currency system of our Ming Dynasty is disordered. Nowadays, treasure banknotes are basically waste paper. Let's not talk about this. The commonly used coins in our Ming Dynasty should be copper yuan, but our Ming Dynasty is extremely short of copper, so that the price of copper remains high. , This resulted in the country losing money when using copper coins, and the people were unwilling to spend copper coins. Some people even collected these copper coins and melted them into copper to make copperware and sell them for profit."
"Therefore, silver with a higher value has become the main currency. If you can't find it, you can use broken silver. This involves losses, and it is also inconvenient and inconvenient to calculate. Our government adopts the silver standard, which also leads to silver The price is artificially high, and we will wait until there is a large inflow of overseas silver in the future..."
Huang Xiao briefly explained what he knew about the situation, and Zhang Yan roughly understood it.
Huang Xiao added: "The lack of copper can be solved by occupying large overseas copper mines, but this is because water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Let's just talk about my world. We still lack copper, such as bullet casings. Many countries They are all made of copper bullet cases, and most of them in our country are alloy steel bullet cases, at most the outside is plated with copper... In this case, I am going to create a coin first to replace the copper yuan and strengthen the circulation of currency."
Zhang Yan nodded and gestured to Huang Xiao with the coin in her hand, "You mean to change it to this?"
Huang Xiao snorted: "Aluminum alloy or alloy steel will do. Whatever material is cheap and durable can be used. I plan to purchase raw materials from me. In this way, private shoddy manufacturing will be eliminated, which will affect the integrity and stability of the currency. We will wait until later to gradually introduce banknotes.”
Zhang Yan said: "This is feasible!"
Huang Xiao nodded, "This is also an expedient measure. After all, the Ming Dynasty is too big and requires a huge amount of currency. It is not a long-term solution for me to purchase large quantities here. I plan to use a two-pronged approach. I designed these small denomination banknotes. I originally designed I’m planning to tell my sister-in-law when I have the opportunity later. Now that I’ve talked about it, I’ll show her the drawings.”
Zhang Yan was surprised: "Did you design the banknotes? When did you make them?"
Huang Xiao smiled: "A few nights ago, my sister-in-law and Yue'er were resting. I had nothing to do, so I did it on the computer. I'm an amateur. My sister-in-law won't laugh for a while."
Zhang Yan shook her head: "While we were resting, you were working hard on Daming's affairs. My sister-in-law only feels grateful to you, how can she laugh at you? Huang Xiao, thank you for your hard work!"
Huang Xiao smiled.
"Sister-in-law, come with me and I'll show you."
Huang Xiao asked Zhang Yan to sit next to the computer.
Huang Xiao turned on the computer and printer.
Open the software.
Three sample images appeared on the computer.
"Ah! This... Your Majesty and me? How did you do this?"
These three cards are one-note, five-note, and ten-note respectively.
The picture is a template that Huang Xiao found on Nitu. The characters were replaced by the avatars of Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan.
Huang Xiao was tricked into buying a course in graphic design after graduating from college, and he learned it half-heartedly. Later, he got angry and went to a formal offline institution to learn it, which can be regarded as a skill.
Huang Xiao clicked on print and said: "Brother's image was secretly obtained by Yue'er last time. The effect is not very good. After eldest brother is healed, we will take high-definition pictures. I took the picture of my sister-in-law." "
Huang Xiao took the printed paper and handed it to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan looked at it again and again and praised: "This banknote is so exquisite, much prettier than the Ming Dynasty banknotes. Huang Xiao, you know so much, and this machine is so powerful! It was made in the blink of an eye!"
Huang Xiao was very pleased. He took a photo out of the drawer and handed it to Zhang Yan.
"Sister-in-law, look, this photo is beautiful."
Zhang Yan took a look and immediately spat: "Why did you take out my sister-in-law's portrait when you have nothing to do?"
Huang Xiao chuckled: "Appreciate it."
Zhang Yan shook her head helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of these three pieces of money?"
Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "Not good."
Huang Xiao was surprised and felt a little depressed.
Zhang Yan said: "You have done the most great work, why is there no portrait of you on this page? My sister-in-law is a prostitute after all, please replace me with you!"
Huang Xiao shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! What's wrong with the woman? The British are the queens, and it's been hundreds of years! I'll forget it, there are usually monarchs or queens on top, so I can't get it up."
Zhang Yan scolded: "What's wrong? Who said it has to be a king? You have done so much for the Ming Dynasty, and the people also love you very much. With you on top, they will only be happier! You change it, change it now, Otherwise, I won’t need this banknote!”
Huang Xiao wanted to defend, but Zhang Yan said angrily: "What's wrong? You don't listen to my sister-in-law?"
"Okay, let's do this. I'll be the one with one cent, the eldest brother with five cents, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law with ten cents. This way there won't be any criticism!"
Zhang Yan thought for a while and nodded.
Huang Xiao stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the screening room and you can take a picture for me."
Zhang Yan got up and followed Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao put down the white curtain and turned on all the lights.
He also taught Zhang Yan how to take pictures with his mobile phone.
Zhang Yan was amazed.
Huang Xiao stood in front of the cloth with a smile.
Zhang Yan took a few photos.
"Come and see if the photo is good." Zhang Yan said excitedly.
Huang Xiao approached with a smile.
"Oh, that's right. My sister-in-law is so smart! I'm so handsome too! Especially wearing ancient costumes, I'm so handsome!"
Zhang Yanran smiled, "You, I have never seen someone so boastful!"
Huang Xiao laughed and said, "My name is Smell. Yes, sister-in-law, come over and I'll take some pictures for you."
Zhang Yan said: "No need, isn't there?"
Huang Xiaodao: "My sister-in-law is dressed more formally today, and she has more of the temperament of the Empress of the Ming Dynasty."
"All right."
Zhang Yan walked over. Her skin was as good as snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. She was wearing the uniform of the Empress of Ming Dynasty. As she looked around, she had an elegant and noble temperament, which made Huang Xiao stunned.
"Ok?"
Huang Xiao came to his senses.
"Soon!"
Huang Xiao first took a few normal beautiful pictures, and then made two more spoofs.
"Sister-in-law, look, you are as beautiful as a fairy."
Zhang Yan was almost immune to Huang Xiao's words. When she took it and took a look, her beautiful eyes were stunned.
"Why... why did you change your clothes? These clothes look pretty good too."
