In the future, anyone who came to the mint with gold to mint gold would have to pass the purification level and obtain roughly equivalent purity before it could be minted.

Gold coins are actually the easiest to mint, easier than copper coins, because gold is soft. However, in order to reduce wear and tear, a quarter of silver is added to it, which is somewhat similar to the 18-karat gold of later generations.

The pattern is also designed by Hong Tao himself, the front is the big head of Emperor Shenzong, and the circle is text, written with Yuanfeng Kuping two coins. On the back is a coiling dragon, with the dragon's head grinning in the middle, and the dragon's body coiling around to form a circle of dragon patterns.

Each gold coin weighs two coins and five cents, almost ten grams, and has a gold content of two coins, which is very thick and heavy, and the texture is much harder than pure gold, but it is not as easy to oxidize and turn black as copper-gold alloys, as long as you rub your fingers, it will be as bright as ever.

The coins are much smaller and thinner, with a square hole in the middle. This is to take care of the living habits of the ancients, they are willing to string money and carry it, and they can't remember to use their leather wallets, but put some bits and pieces in it.

Both coins were stamped in Wang Datou's forging workshop, and yes, they were not minted but pressed out with punches and steel molds. Alloy coins will also go through the pickling process, and when they leave the factory, some places will be shiny and shiny, and some places will be like frosted, which looks no weaker than gold coins.

Of course, the value of the coins varies a lot, and one alloy coin is the same thing. According to the gold price of Kaifeng, a Huangzhou gold coin can be exchanged for three square Mo Xiaoping coins, that is to say, a Huangzhou gold coin is worth 3,000 alloy coins, and vice versa.

Originally, Hong Tao also designed two kinds of auxiliary coins, Shiwen and Baiwen. However, after visiting and investigating, it was found that the Song people were not very accustomed to using such large-denomination coins, and they always felt that they had suffered a loss.

In fact, large denominations and small denominations of coins have the same meaning, they have no value in themselves, and they are just forcibly pegged to gold by law.

However, this truth was not understood by everyone for a while, and Hong Tao did not have the manpower to go door-to-door to visit the law to do the work of popularizing the law, so he simply did not issue or issued large-denomination coins in small batches for the time being, so as to give the people a process of adaptation.

Once the monetary system is out, there must be an issuing unit, and it cannot be said that in the future, the foundry will be combined with the mint and the bank, so a bank will have to be made.

Hey, this time Mrs. Lian can make her debut, she wears gold-rimmed eyes, a sterling silver abacus in her left hand, a pure copper zipper briefcase in her right hand, and three female generals behind her, Ziju, Wang Liu and Wang Ba. Everyone's pupils are square, and there is a metallic glow behind the lenses of the glasses.

Don't look at Hong Tao's reluctance to repair the government, but he is willing to build a bank. Construction has begun on the original chemistry laboratory compound, which will become a three-story cannon tower, with three layers of security inside and out, and an underground vault leading to the Huangshui behind the cliff.

Once the enemy could not defend against the attack, the gold reserves would be transferred to the ship and carried down the Huangshui River to Lanzhou. Even if the current is not suitable for sailing, these golden waves would rather sink to the bottom of the water than leave them to the enemy, and only seek to be broken rather than destroyed.

In addition to these four female bank managers, they also transferred more than 20 older children from the third and fourth batches of children's groups from Weiqiao Town, Mawei City, and Liangzhou City, and began to focus on training business knowledge.

In the future, the business of banks will not only be to issue currency, issue loans, absorb deposits, and review budgets for local governments, but also to conduct foreign exchange operations.

For example, the original check of the Horse House, the settlement of the silver tael of the mainland currency and the gold coin of Huangzhou, etc. It is not enough to have someone who is familiar with the new algorithm, but also a skilled old bookkeeper.

Of course, it was only a temporary hire, and when the children had mastered this knowledge, the bank had to remain pure, and all the main jobs had to be held by people loyal to the horses and the Great Song Emperor, such as the Children's League and the Youth League, and the others were used as little as possible.

This is Hong Tao's request, as long as the imperial court approves Huangzhou's currency reform plan, then he will have one more weapon in his hands, finance! It is the same lifeblood as the new army, how can it be casually let others get involved.

Speaking of the Wang family, that is, Wang Hao, the uncle of the crown, he is really discerning. After hearing from his nephew's letter that Huangzhou was going to carry out currency reform and needed a large amount of gold, he immediately began to buy a large amount of gold through acquaintances and old connections on Fujian Road and Liangzhejiang Road, and then collected last year's old grain, gathered two sea boats, and brought the ten pioneers of the Wang family to come in the spring.

Wang Hao's gold was not intended to be sold to Hong Tao, but to mint gold coins to spend for himself, and praised this new attempt of the horse.

The currency reform is too convenient for businessmen, in the past, the Wang family and Huangzhou settlement were converted to each other with the physical price, and this process alone had to last for a few days or even ten days.

If there is a fixed standard, and it can indeed be accepted by everyone, then it will be much more convenient to do business in Huangzhou in the future. If nothing else, the bookkeeper's salary will be saved, and the transaction price will be easy to determine.

Needless to say, according to the value calculated today, when you arrive in the place two months later, it will become a loss-making transaction because of the large fluctuations in the price of copper or silver, not to mention the fact that the private coins are not disputed with the trading partner because of the fineness of the coins.

He saw the samples of the gold coins and auxiliary coins minted in Huangzhou, two words, exquisite! Four words, exquisite!

It is not clear whether anyone can cast Wang Hao privately, but he can be sure that his family will not be able to cast it. Unless someone is hired to carve it by hand at all costs, the fine scales on the scales and the tiny letters on the edge of the coin are simply unrecognizable.

"Uncle doesn't have to hide it, it's not a big secret. Huangzhou coins are not minted, but made with their own official skills, and no one or any government can make them exactly the same. ”

Wang Hao was so supportive, Hong Tao simply let him feel at ease. This kind of mold is specially made in the Huangzhou workshop, all of which are handmade by Wang Datou's apprentices, and in some places metal etching technology is used.

This is a new anti-counterfeiting function made by Hong Tao, and each workshop does not know, and there is no need to, it will only be used to mint coins. The patterns made by metal etching are imitated by hand to exhaust people, and they cannot be exactly the same, so they have to use different proportions of acid.

"Adults' stunts are naturally amazing, mortals can't get them, and it's ......a blessing to have adults in Huangzhou presiding over it," Wang Hao reluctantly put down the new coin, and the sycophants began to roll out.

"But you have an idea?" Hong Tao doesn't feel upset about the businessman's habit, when they play with their lives to praise someone, they either scold you for being a fool in their hearts, or they have a request for you. Wang Hao is already the largest private investor in Liangzhou, and he will definitely not scold himself, that is, he has something to ask for.

"Uh...... Wise adults! The villain has three or five friends, all of whom are honest and duty-based, and there are also some floating wealth who want to come to operate under the rule of adults, but ...... "Sure enough, Wang Hao came with the entrustment of his fellow villagers."

Since ancient times, Fujian people have the habit of holding together wherever they go, and in later generations, they are also a village and a township to operate in other places, as long as one person succeeds, they will immediately pull their fellow villagers to follow up and occupy the market, and there is both competition and support between each other.

"Don't just, as long as you don't violate the law, you can do anything, and if there is a problem, just mention it."

For businessmen like the Wang family, Hong Tao still has a good impression. But doing business is not an easy task, don't just look at the wealth of the family, the slightest wind and grass may cause them to go bankrupt.

The Song Dynasty was still good for merchants, and this method would definitely not work if they changed dynasties, so as long as they could do their best, it was natural to help them.

"It's just that the villain heard that there are people in the court who are also going to open workshops and businesses under the rule of adults, so that we and the grass people will not have a way to live, and I hope that the adults will give me some advice."

Gritting his teeth, Wang Hao expressed his worries. It turned out that what he was afraid of was not the operating conditions and natural conditions, let alone the war, but the fear of the upcoming officials and businessmen.

I want Hong Tao to reveal some inside information to him, such as which industry in which the degree of involvement of officials and businessmen is relatively small, they will do it, so that there is no need to compete with officials and businessmen, because they can't really compete.
