The second situation is to invest too much silver and copper coins in one area, causing local inflation. "
"For example, in the western Liaoning region in the late Ming Dynasty, the land there was barren, the climate was cold, and the grain yield was very low."
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the invasion of Hou Jin, a large number of troops were stationed in western Liaoning. The large amount of military pay allocated to the garrison led to a significant increase in the circulation of silver in western Liaoning, and finally caused the price of goods in western Liaoning to skyrocket."
Yang Qian couldn't help but talk. The look on his face seemed to say, come on, come on, come and praise me.
Zhang Yumeng couldn't see Yang Qian's tail raised to the sky, and smiled and said, "Then you know inflation very well, let's talk about its meaning."
The corner of Yang Gan's mouth twitched hard, and he almost bit his tongue. After thinking for a long time, he finally said helplessly.
"Come on, come on, I can't pretend anymore. All I know is that inflation is the kind that can only be understood but cannot be expressed."
Zhang Yumeng said proudly, "Inflation generally refers to currency depreciation and the continuous rise in price levels caused by the amount of currency in circulation exceeding the actual demand of the economy under the credit currency system."
"To put it in understandable terms, money is worthless, because in modernization, paper money actually has no value, but the country uses its own credit to give it value."
"But ancient coins are different. They are valuable in themselves. So, I thought about it and the simplest way is to make as many coins as you have now."
"By the way, don't forget to include the lost money, labor costs and all other expenses so that you don't lose money."
"what does that mean?"
Zhang Yumeng said, "To put it simply, it means that your principal, labor costs, loss costs and all other miscellaneous expenses are added together and matched with the current money, otherwise you will lose money to death."
Yang Qian suddenly realized that this must be Huo Xiao. He looked at Zhang Yumeng blankly, "Don't tell me, you are still studying finance?"
"Um? People can be devoid of knowledge, but they can't be devoid of common sense. I've always been good at financial management, so I still need to understand this."
Zhang Yumeng's accustomed expression drove Yang Gan crazy.
At this time, the room became quiet.
Almost everyone looked at Zhang Yumeng with shock.
"Zhang Xiaoniang, you are so amazing."
"Yes, yes, I know more than Yang Qian."
"Yeah yeah yeah, Zhang Xiaoniang YYS."
"It's so abominable, she was able to fake it this time."
Yang Gan looked depressed and said to the girls, "Do you all understand?"
Zhao Wenmo laughed and said, "I didn't understand it at all, I just thought it was awesome."
"Well, I don't know how serious it is." Ying Niang agreed.
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Although I don't understand it very well, it seems there is good news, right?"
Cao Wushuang said coldly, "Looking at Yang Qian's lewd smile, you know he must have taken advantage."
Yang Gan laughed and said, "Hahaha, what's the bargain? That's a big bargain."
"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, after I made a scene in Dongde County, Hai Chaohou was so frightened that people came here all night long just to hand over the minting rights to me in exchange for the family's wealth. Safety."
The girls were dumbfounded. They didn't know about other things. Who didn't know about the right to mint coins? Anyone who owned that thing was either a feudal lord with a large number of fiefs or a king of a county.
Of course, the coinage rights of the seven major counties have long been taken back by King Xia Wen. If we don't seize this opportunity, something might happen.
Yang Qian immediately asked for a piece of wood, found some tools from Zhang Yumeng's toolbox, and started to work with the wood.
Not long after, a slightly rough wooden coin appeared in the eyes of the girls.
Yang Qian carefully measured it with a ruler. In the eyes of everyone, the wooden coin finally became very thin and small, and he said with satisfaction.
"How about this kind of coin?"
The girls came over one after another to watch the fun.
Zhao Wenmo
Holding the coin, he frowned and said, "This is too small."
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Yeah, it feels very similar to round-hole money, but it's a little smaller."
"It's too thin, and it will break if I pinch it." Cao Wushuang looked at the wooden coin speechlessly, and it could slip away from his fingers at any time.
The girls expressed their opinions one after another, but Zhang Yumeng was the only one who strongly supported Yang Qian, because this style is the round square hole coin that has been circulated for two thousand years in the previous life, and is one of the most classic ancient coins.
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Actually, haven't you noticed? For example, when I go shopping with a knife coin, I often can't buy what I need. A knife coin can buy a hemp rope, a few eggs, and a few kilograms. Corn."
"But if I only need hemp rope and don't want anything else, I have to use multiple currencies to convert, which is very troublesome."
"Once this kind of coin is minted, there will be many benefits. First, it is said that the sky is round and the earth is round, so the coin should be made round with a square hole in the middle."
"Secondly, casting requires less material and is easy to carry. Compared with cloth coins and knife coins, round square hole coins are smaller in size and lighter in weight, which means that less copper ore is consumed and more coins can be minted."
"Unlike cloth coins and knife coins, which have sharp edges and corners, round coins with square holes are more convenient to carry. You can coil the coins and wrap them around your waist. It is easy to carry and safe."
"Third: In addition to the convenience of casting and portability, it can also reduce the wear and tear of circulation. Coins serve as equivalents in commodity transactions. Once passed down to ten, and passed from ten to hundreds, the degree of wear is very large. For example, cloth coins For currencies such as knives and coins, round square hole coins can minimize wear and tear."
As soon as Yang Qian finished speaking, the girls started talking.
"Yes, yes, every time I go shopping on the street, it is relatively simple to wear. Even if I put the knife coins and cloth coins in the wallet, sometimes it is easy to get caught when I take them out."
"Yes, even though I have a few gold coins with me, but if I don't say anything about it, who will spend it? Except for some big stores, I can't find it in ordinary stores."
Mu Qing covered his mouth and chuckled, "It doesn't matter if the change is successful. There is no way to bring back the change."
Yang Qian pulled Zhang Yumeng over, played with the wooden copper coin in his hand and said, "How do you like this style?"
Zhang Yumeng quickly took out something from the bottom of the tool box and measured it carefully.
Yang Qian almost bit his tongue, pointed at the thing, and said in disbelief, "Mist, fog grass, vernier caliper? Where did it come from?"
Zhang Yumeng measured the size of the coins and said nonchalantly, "Nonsense, of course I made them. Could it be that they were purchased online?"
Yang Qian scratched his head, his unexperienced look on his face made all the girls laugh.
They had never seen a vernier caliper so they didn't know how powerful it was, but Yang Qian knew it.
As that saying goes, only the ignorant are fearless.
"Diameter 15mm, thickness 1mm."
Yang Gan was also a little worried in his heart. To be honest, if you play well in finance, everyone will be good. If you play poorly, then you will be a fool.
In this era when business is not very developed, once it is fully promoted, if it goes wrong, it will bring devastating consequences.
It will even directly destroy the monetary system and bring everyone back to the era of barter.
"Will it break easily?"
Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "No, but when this coin is made, the burrs must be corrected. If it is too thin, it will easily cut your hands."
"Then what denomination coins are you going to make?"
Yang Qian held his chin and thought, "According to the standard, it should be one coin, two coins, five coins, ten coins, twenty coins."
"Then going up, don't blame me for not reminding you, now business in our county has been on the rise, and many large transactions use gold."
"Besides, after you finish it, put it on the market first. The market is a good place to test the coins. After you slowly improve it, then think about other things. Don't take too big a step, otherwise it will be bad if you get stuck."
After Yang Gan finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little
Feeling itchy, I grabbed two handfuls.
Immediately, Zhang Yumeng showed an incomprehensible smile and joked.
"Did you pull it?"
"Fuck you, find a way to get this thing out of here."
"Okay~~~!"
It took the two of them half a day to finally make the specifications of the coin.
A coin has a diameter of 15 mm, a thickness of 1 mm, and a weight of 5 grams.
Erqian has a diameter of 15 mm, a thickness of 1 mm, and a weight of 7 grams.
The five coins have a diameter of 18 mm, a thickness of 1.5 mm, and a weight of 10 grams.
The ten coins have a diameter of 20 mm, a thickness of 1.5 mm, and a weight of 15 grams.
Twenty coins have a diameter of 25 mm, a thickness of 2 mm, and a weight of 20 grams.
After the two discussed for a long time, they felt that there was no need to stick to the formality. Now that the technology was available, it was just making molds.
What a Tongbao, no intention, and Yang Qian is a scheming bitch. After all, the coinage rights were obtained from Hai Chaohou.
Now that I have a good relationship with Chaoxian, I naturally need to plan carefully.
Don't think that the king will not do anything if he is his son. From ancient times to the present, there have been too many incidents of emperors and fathers killing their sons.
Yang Qian is not so ignorant, give him a step up, hello, me, hello, everyone, there is no need to make things deadlocked.
After all, a stalemate would be of no benefit to anyone. Don't forget that there are still a group of vassal states outside who are eyeing him, and they don't know whether Zhang Shao can do it.
Although the girls also participated, none of them were good at designing coins, so they all expressed their own opinions.
In the end, he decided to adopt the plan that Mu Qing said was the easiest to flatter him.
The denomination is written on one side of the coin. For example, if one coin is written, it is written as one coin. If it is two coins, it is written as two coins. If it is twenty coins, it is written as twenty coins. However, for three characters, the arrangement is not symmetrical, but triangular.
Yang Qian said that he suffers from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. No matter where he writes a word on the left or right, the other side is still empty. No matter how you look at it and how uncomfortable it is, it is better to use a triangle, which is symmetrical and not obtrusive.
As for the other side, it was written that Xia Huiwen was 43 years old. When he saw the number, Yang Gan sighed.
Zhang Yumeng looked at the drawings with a smile on his face, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, we can print money, why are you sighing."
