The Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty started construction shortly after the Great Court Meeting. It first gathered selected houses and shops at the entrance of the palace, most of which belonged to Changsun Wuji's family.
After giving a lot of compensation to Changsun Wuji's family, Changsun Chong suggested voluntary donation without compensation, but Li Mingda didn't give him a chance.
The original layout does not need to be changed much. A small part of the house is bulldozed to be used as a treasury. A pit several meters wide is dug out, tamped and then made into a base with sand and gravel. After being waterproofed, a layer of reinforced concrete is poured, and then a pit is added in the middle. Put on a steel plate one finger thick, and then pour another layer.
And according to Murong Xue's suggestion, some simple snooping mechanisms were added to prevent anyone from crazy digging.
After the construction of the treasury was completed, it was time to organize the outer walls and tidy up the courtyard walls. Naturally, the original courtyard walls could no longer be used. They were torn down and dug down 3 meters before being poured with cement. No steel plates were used here. Reinforced concrete was enough to cope with the situation at hand.
In the future, we can just wait until technology is developed before expanding.
After the treasury is ready, the next step is the ground in the yard. The ground is cut with bluestone slabs to ensure it is flat and clean, and there will be no flowers, plants or trees to cover it. There is also a sentry tower and guard room around it. The key to the treasury door is complicated to make, so it is added Not a very mature password lock mechanism.
The Royal Bank lobby follows a modern design, and all the tempered glass is replaced with iron fences. A group of personnel are transferred from the Jinyiwei, and the issue of loyal ministers is left to Xiaoxian.
Li Mingda handed over the construction project to Wang Meng to supervise. Apart from him and Murong Xue, Li Mingda didn't have many people who could understand this design thoroughly.
Wang Meng supervised the work on site, and Jin Yiwei cleaned up the surrounding personnel. All the attics in Datang where the construction work could be seen from a certain height were temporarily closed, trying to be more mysterious.
At the same time, the first batch of gold, silver, and copper coins began to be made. With simple mechanical tools, the production speed exceeded the previous copper coin craftsmanship.
Thanks to the addition of aluminum and a small amount of steel, the new coins appear bright and beautiful.
The three types of coins have different patterns. The copper coin has a simple edge with a circle of threads. Inside is a Tang. Below the Tang character is the production time in years, and on the back is a simple portrait of Tai Chi Palace.
A grain pattern is added to the middle of the silver coin, and several flying birds are added to the Tai Chi Palace behind it.
The production of gold coins is the most complicated. The Chinese character Tang in the center remains unchanged, and the characters on the lower layer are more complicated. There are some extremely small inscriptions around it. The Taiji Palace is more detailed, with portraits of Feitian on both sides. If you look closely at the fence, you can see cirrus patterns and birds.
Murong Xue wondered why Li Mingda didn't carve his own face on it: "Gouzi, why don't you carve your head on it?"
Li Mingda said: "This is of little significance. I will do it when I issue commemorative coins later. I don't want to be called Li Datou like the silver coins during the Republic of China."
Murong Xue heard that there was nothing wrong with her, so the matter was settled like this, but Murong Xue asked again: "We must be on the commemorative coin, otherwise we will cry, make trouble, and hang ourselves."
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"Am I afraid of you? Come and make trouble and let me see."
"snort"
╭(╯^╰)╮
"I hate it, I'm going to bully Wu Jue"
Murong Xue ran out to cause trouble for Wu Jue, while Li Mingda continued to lie in the royal study room and turned on the salted fish mode.
The Royal Bank is under construction in an orderly manner, and corresponding measures and initiatives from various departments have been distributed so that officials can learn a thing or two.
The industries under Li Mingda and the official industries in the Chang'an City area also began to identify and learn new currencies.
In order to ensure that the new currency is released as soon as possible, the people and officials holding the new currency will exchange it for what they need as soon as possible.
The Royal Bank also has an exchange window for people and traders who come to exchange old currencies, gold, silver and copper for new currencies.
In the early stage, Li Mingda took out half of the gold, silver and copper from the national treasury and smelted it, striving to satisfy it as soon as possible. This was an ideal state. Soon Li Mingda realized that he should control the amount of replacement in the early stage.
A large supply will cause depreciation, so the daily replacement time has been adjusted, and a ranking mechanism has been added to them to collect data to provide a buffer time for the replacement situation and market demand investigation.
In order to prevent some personnel from using fake coins to deceive people, Li Mingda asked Fang Xuanling to send an official notification to all parts of the country to let people in various places know the appearance, size, weight of the new currency, the official exchange ratio, etc.
It also stipulated specific times and time limits for local governments to gradually convert existing currency payments into new currencies. However, it was still not convenient to carry some bank notes with the new currency, so Li Mingda began to think about the production of new bank notes.
Some restless elements will definitely put a knife on the new currency and sell it at a low price for a high price. To this end, Li Mingda has specially introduced a law to protect the new currency. If such behavior is discovered, the bank will be banned directly, and the minimum number of persons involved will be It's a five-year sentence, and officials involved will be severely punished.
As a saying goes, "If there is a 50% profit, some people will take desperate risks; if there is a 300% profit, some people will dare to trample on morality and law, and even go to the guillotine."
When Li Mingda came to power, many people were sent to hell, and greedy people kept appearing.
Once, twice, countless times
Li Mingda knew that they would continue to look for gaps in the law to seek benefits for themselves. What he had to do was to kill them all to pave the way for the development of Datang.
Just as Li Mingda considered, before the issuance of the new currency, there were already people using the name of the new currency to deceive and swindle in various ways. There were also banks that wanted to try Li Mingda's protection of the new currency and began to secretly formulate it. A strategy for selling at low prices and earning high profits in exchange for sufficient profits.
Their ideas are wonderful and their harvests are impressive. There are too many ignorant people and people who want to take advantage of them everywhere.
When they have harvested a lot and are ready to enjoy it, Jin Yiwei and Black Dragon will come to their door. The two agencies are the two special agencies specially prepared by Li Mingda, the government and the people. The purpose is to clean up these things for themselves under the double blow of the government and the people. People who cause trouble.
He looked at the Jin Yiwei and the Black Dragon Society surrounding him, then at the horizontal knife hanging on his neck, and then at the money he had squeezed out of the box.
There was a sense of madness in their eyes, and resistance was necessary, otherwise how would they know whether they would have a chance to enjoy it.
The reality is also cruel. Both the Jin Yiwei and the Black Dragon Society adhere to the ideas inherited from Li Mingda's lineage. If you don't take action, then if you take action, you will be completely eliminated without leaving any future troubles.
Thanks to the efforts of the Jin Yiwei, Black Dragon Society and even the intelligence agencies secretly established by Jia Xu, many people involved in the case were arrested or killed, paving the way for the new currency.
The Tang Dynasty's efforts on the new currency seemed like a ray of dawn in the eyes of the Turkic rebels on the grasslands.
