At 10 o'clock in the evening, the lights were turned off outside on time, and snoring sounds quickly rang in the dormitory of 40 people. After all, it was quite hard to arrange a full day. Li Ziyu couldn't sleep. He always slept alone, so he had no experience of living in the same room with many people! The snoring, teeth grinding sounds and the smell of people made him unable to fall asleep.

He recalled today's course, and thought that he took the initiative to raise his hand and indeed attracted the attention of Zhenhun. When Chief Pan said that he could "raise his hand to ask questions" during class, he thought about whether to "dare to be the first in the world", but he didn't expect that his treasure would be remanded right! Seeing Chief Pan's appearance, he already remembered himself.

As long as the true leader can remember himself, there will be some benefits in the future.

Someone on the bed next to him was whispering in a low voice that was almost impossible to hear. Li Ziyu listened carefully and it turned out that he was talking about wages. This time he said that he was giving food for eight dou of rice every month, but he didn't say how much it was paid.

Guangzhou is a big city and a provincial capital. It has always been a place where "living is difficult". Although the price of a stone of rice has risen, it is not less than one tael of silver. If the people in the city do not have eleven or two taels of silver a year, it will be difficult for them to support their families.

The monthly income of Bad Rice is less than one tael of silver. Although it is not low, it is not high. Because it is only said that it is "works and food" and does not say how much salary it pays. So everyone is still looking forward to it.

Li Ziyu secretly laughed at the two classmates for "no knowledge". The fast-track yamen runners in the yamen only had three dou of rice for a month, and they were even less expensive. Didn't they support their families? They all had a family of delicious food and drinks. Since ancient times, people who eat business have pointed to the little food and salary and salary! Besides, Australians "control the thickest", even if the military salary given to the big head soldiers was much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, they would not treat the future minions of the Senate.

"Come on, try this, I made it myself, sweet and sour pork ribs!"

There were six people sitting in the top floor of Guangzhou World. The new Guangzhou Mayor Liu Xiang was talking. He was greeting the director of the Policy Planning Department of the Central Reserve Bank. The two sat opposite the table and separated the guest of the guest of the host. Liu Xiang was the director of the Guangzhou Commerce and Trade Bureau. Next to Zheng Shangjie was Meng Xian. There were two other general manager Zhang Yikun, respectively.

When it comes to pork, Linggao has not been able to eat it now. Although the scale of breeding has expanded, the population has also exploded, and the protein supply is still mainly fish, chicken, duck, eggs, and large livestock meat such as pork, beef is rare. Although the ticket supply system is not implemented, the number of slaughtered and slaughtered every day is still limited. Even if it is a veteran, if you want to buy a good small steak and a bunch of small steaks, you have to say hello in advance, otherwise there may not be any time you need it. But there is no limit when you arrive in Guangzhou. Live pigs are now slaughtered, as long as the quarantine is passed, there is no pork tapeworm or other things, so it is really open and eaten casually. Meng Xian and Zheng Shangjie have been in Guangzhou for a long time, and it is not too rare. The other three are rare to eat sweet and sour pork ribs made of small steaks with crisp bones. I heard that Liu Xiang cooked himself, so he had to give him this face, so he took a piece of it and started eating it.

Liu Xiang never adds large ingredients to this dish, but only in the ratio of one, two, three, four. One spoonful of sugar, two spoonfuls of cooking wine, three spoonfuls of vinegar, four spoonfuls of water, boil over high heat and reduce the juice. If the meat is still hard, put it in the steamer and pass it with another steam. In the original time and space, it should be put into the pressure cooker and press it soft. Now, cast iron kitchen pressure cooker has been launched on the Lingao floor. The Lingao market is also very popular, but Liu Xiang is not very confident about the quality and has not bought it at home. Besides, the cast iron pressure cooker produced by Lingao is too heavy. It is really laborious to use it for more than 20 kilograms.

Everyone tasted it and said it was delicious. The other people picked up a piece and started eating it. Only Dumo extended the chopsticks to the other dishes. When they looked carefully, they all had some salty and spicy dishes. It seemed that this person didn't like sweet food. Liu Xiang didn't care, and he pulled some other wild cotton, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

As the banquet was approaching, six people on the table leaned on the back of the chair with their stomachs wide open - they were eating, and they were drinking their own drinks. Some were drinking wine and some were drinking tea. Chen Ce asked the kitchen first, and then ordered a warm and greasy drink that the officials and nobles in the Ming Dynasty drank after the meal. It is a tradition to talk about things at the table forever, but as a big foodie and a carnivore, Liu Xiang hates talking about things when he is eating, and insists on talking about things at the table. It is also okay to eat it first, for example, now.

The life secretaries packed up the trays of the food on the table, put the tablecloths back on, and gave them their own drinks.

"Is the plan for issuing the new currency? I'm waiting to be implemented." Liu Xiang knew Chen Ce's purpose of coming to Guangzhou, and he finally entered the stage of talking about the matter.

Chen Ce waved, called the accompanying guard over, and opened an exquisite small box.

"This is the sample coin of the new coin!"

When the box opened, rows of coins were shining brightly.

Directly above is a silver bar with a rectangular view, with a trapezoidal cross-section. Except for the front top, the other sides are polished as silver as a mirror. I don’t know what technical means to deal with the front top, and there are several rows of golden characters printed. The top row is “Senate Central Reserve Bank”, the middle row is “The silver ingots in stock weigh one kilogram”, and the bottom is a string of numbers, 875-020-8888-0001. On the two short sides, there are two vertical rows of words that are exactly the same, “Forbidden to circulation”.

This number must have a meaning. Liu Xiang thought in his heart, but what is the purpose of this inventory of silver that cannot be circulated? But he did not ask in detail but looked at the coins below.

Below the silver ingot are six round cakes of different sizes, embedded in the soft-lined groove like the silver ingot. Each piece is covered with a small piece of silk veil. This silk veil is also exquisite. It locks the edges with bright yellow silk thread, and embroidered some auspicious and freehand patterns pointing radially to the center of the veil. The silver coin presses in the middle and feels like a "golden plate and jade cup". When you twist the corner of the veil with your hand, you gently lift it. A silver coin comes out of the trough and falls in your hand to play with it.

This silver coin is shiny and has a diameter of 35 mm. It feels heavy when you start with it. When your thumb missile is used to guess the coin, the silver coin is buzzing and trembling in the air.

The front is the Song font of "One Yuan", the ring is in the pattern of wheat ears, and the lower part is the small font "Central Reserve Bank" and the year of the Arabic numerals. The back is the Arabic numeral "1" and the earth shining under the stars. The earth is surrounded by streamers, with four Latin words on it: s.p.q.m.

The convex edges squeezed out of the silver dollar rolled onto the hooks - I think this is to prevent "scraping".

"Tsk, it's not Ma Datou or Wen Datou!" Liu Xiang's heart was filled with frustration of complaining about lack of material.

The row below is a silver coins that are obviously smaller in diameter, with a circle smaller in diameter, with a face value of "half yuan" on the front, a "50" on the back, and a pattern on the back is "holy ship".

"Do you dare to be lazy? Isn't the graphics of this holy ship already used on cigarettes? You'll die from a different angle!" Liu Xiang frowned and forced the complaints to his heart.

Next is the 20-minute face value, the pattern is more simplified, and the coin color is a bit worse than the first two.

Chen Ce paid attention to Liu Xiang's actions of "appreciating" various coins. Seeing his expression change, he immediately explained with a smile: "In fact, in addition to the size and size of these three silver coins, the silver content is also different. The lower the value of the currency, the lower the silver content."

“Where is the highest one dollar quality?”

"The silver content is 87.5%," Chen Ce said, "the lowest 20 points is 60% silver."

In terms of silver content alone, it is also a "good currency" in the market, and there is no problem with acceptance.

Then there are banknotes embedded in the wooden frame of glass board. There are seven types of paper money. In addition to the equal banknotes of three types of silver coins, there are 10 points, 5 points, 1 point and a half point. The stamps are printed with "Central Reserve Bank of Finance and Finance? Silver Dollar Reserve Coupons" and are printed with words such as "Quanyin One Yuan, Half Yuan, Two Points..." according to the value. The printing of the bottom plate and pattern of the banknotes is extremely exquisite, and it is even more exquisite than the newly printed grain circulation coupons in recent years. In particular, the texture of the paper is very close to the feeling of old time and space banknote paper. The pattern of the base plate carved by the copper plate is delicate and complicated. It is probably impossible to find similar engravers in this time and space time. However, there was no copper plate production and printing process in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is the strongest anti-counterfeiting method.

"This issuance of new coins is carried out simultaneously in various places, so as not to take advantage of loopholes in the exchange rate of the two places." Chen Ce said, "The grain circulation coupons in Hainan, Jeju Island and Taiwan will also begin to be gradually recycled and replaced with new coins. However, we will focus on these three places. Silver coins are only put into circulation in the restoration areas on the mainland. So, you don't have to worry about the reserve of silver coins. Mayor Liu."

Liu Xiang played with the coins in his hand for a long time before putting them down and saying, "This money is so exquisite, I'm afraid I can't take it out and collect it."

Chen Ce smiled slightly: "I fully understand your concerns, but I believe President Meng has also told you that our policy is to vigorously promote paper money. Silver coins are a kind of guarantee for paper money. Especially in the early stage of the issuance of new coins, the function of silver coins is to calm people's hearts. But this is not enough."

To circulate paper money, on the one hand, it must be supported by the state machinery, and on the other hand, it must have sufficient circulating commodities to guarantee the value of the currency. Although the new currency is the "silver standard", sufficient commodities still need to endorse it. Simply put, the senate silver dollar reserve vouchers must be spent to buy things. This thing cannot be an Australian mirror or a Nanyang spice, but an item that everyone really needs. (To be continued.)
