Chapter 610: In the Field

All the machines are screws of different sizes driven by hydraulic power, as long as the hydraulic power is continuous, these machines can be used continuously, in terms of quality and cost saving and manpower, hydraulic machines have their own uniqueness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Yusheng not only to make silver coins, but also to make a small number of gold coins and a large number of copper coins, copper coins are another way to make, requires more labor, the technical content is much simpler than this method of minting silver coins, of course, the quality level is far from the same.

Zhang Han did not intend to invest too much in the manufacture of copper coins, copper coins were intended to be used to make money, as long as the quality was slightly better than that of ordinary folk coins.

Sun Yuanhua and the others picked up a silver coin from the basket at the final process and handed it to Zhang Han.

It feels very good to start, the silver is shining, the newly minted silver coin seems to have some residual temperature when stamping, and then look carefully, the silver coin does not have a complex pattern, the middle of the obverse is three words "and Yusheng", the word is still written by Li Shenming, on the level of calligraphy, Sun Jingting and Kong Minxing and others are far behind him, and the writing circulation is very large, the future may reach millions of silver coins, Li Shenming is also very happy, for him this is also a rare honor, the imperial court's Tongbao copper coin words are also to be written, are invited to the great calligraphers among the ministers, Li Shenming's level is thousands of miles away from those people, and it is really rare for him to have such an opportunity.

On the back of the silver coin is the words "when one or two", of course, it is still written by Li Shenming.

Everyone is picking up a silver coin in their hands, look carefully, this thing is still very fresh to the people of the Ming Dynasty, China has not been serious mint gold and silver coins, the level of copper coins is also uneven, and there are few unified control of the imperial court, the people are now not only using the apocalypse money, more is using Wanli money and Jiajing money, and even some people use the copper coins of the former Song Dynasty, the earlier copper coins are small in the world, and they should not be taken out for daily use, and they can be used as antiques.

Li Shenming took the silver coin, first flipped it up and down, admired the words on the silver coin with intoxication, and then carefully observed the appearance of the silver coin, and then found the question: "Why does this silver coin have lace?" ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "People are unpredictable, whether it is me and the people in charge of business in Yusheng Company, or soldiers, if we get the silver coins on a large scale from the four sides of the silver edges, accumulate a lot, it will also make a small profit, or in the future, some people will also grind the edges, when one or two of them are ground for me into eight or six dollars, it will not only be as simple as losing some silver, but also affect the reputation of us and Yusheng silver coins." ”

"I see." Li Shenming suddenly realized: "Using this lace is to prevent people from polishing it in private, good idea, really good idea." ”

Li Shenming smiled and shook the silver coin, and said: "When the silver coin of one tael actually weighs eight coins, and it contains some accessories, it is two coins......

Tian Jitang, who was standing near the left, suddenly lit up with his eyes!

Zhang Han saw it and said with a smile: "Lao Tian was not very interested in coming over, but now he vaguely understands, right?" ”

"Yes, I got it." Tian Jitang's eyes showed excitement, he was not stupid, how could he not understand?

As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't hold back his admiration, and Tian Jitang couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "My lord is really talented!" ”

Zhang Han laughed.

Minting coins, whether it is the copper coins of the imperial court or the silver coins minted by Zhang Han here, the interest on the money is of course the most important. The imperial court took 200,000 taels of capital to buy copper, and the coinage was worth 600,000 yuan, not counting the cost or anything, and you could earn 400,000 yuan as soon as you entered and exited.

Of course, the quality of this copper coin can be imagined.

Of course, Zhang Han's silver coins don't have to be like this, when one or two go to two coins, add two coins of accessories, and one or two silver makes four dollars, the gross profit is only forty percent.

That is to say, if a million pieces are issued as one tael of silver coins, the profit is 400,000 taels.

Of course, this is an algorithm that has not yet calculated the cost, but the cost of minting is not high and very limited.

Tian Jitang was happy for a while, and suddenly seemed to be alert, he asked Zhang Han: "My lord, if this silver coin is issued to the people, it will definitely be found that the amount is insufficient, and there are impurities, this ......"

"Who told you to release it in the private sector?" Li Shenming on the side asked rhetorically.

Zhang Han put down the one in his hand, picked up another one to inspect, saw that the quality of the silver coin was almost identical, nodded unconsciously, turned his head to see Tian Jitang with a stunned face, Zhang Han patiently explained: "The amount of silver coins is insufficient, to make up for this amount is to take and Yusheng's reputation to guarantee, the guarantee is the three words on this silver coin, when one or two is a full amount of one or two, and if the people are issued at the beginning, even if we have a very high reputation in Datong and even northern Shaanxi, Xuanfu has a very high reputation, the people and businessmen must be full of doubts when using it." In this case, we don't have to distribute it directly in the early days, but use it ourselves. ”

"I see." Tian Jitang is also a smart person, and he figured it out at once.

Tian Jitang bent his fingers and calculated: "Military salary is a large expense, and the salary of the workshop follows closely, these two things will cost more than one million taels a year, if this silver coin is issued as salary and military salary, this piece alone will save hundreds of thousands, plus the cost of people and construction in the north, this piece can be saved." Why can you save it? This silver coin is not issued to the people, issued to our own people, you can ask them to buy items in the commercial house of Yusheng, one tael of silver coins is the purchase amount of one tael, so as to ensure the credibility, our soldiers and workers, people can use it, and Yusheng here to receive this kind of silver coin, of course, there is no problem, soldiers and workers take the silver salary and do not use it immediately, which is equivalent to the company borrowed two silver ......taels from them first."

Zhang Han smiled and nodded, the use of silver coins is only one aspect, but it is not easy for Tian Jitang, the bookkeeper, to think of so much in a short period of time.

And Yusheng's internal expenses have been so large that they can't be disclosed, the imperial court poured the country's strength into Liaoxi's silver, that is, and Yusheng's expenses for a year, and even more than in the future, such a degree of expenses can not be used well, silver coins in the beginning of the lack of sufficient credibility time is to save internal expenses This piece is very useful, soldiers and workers, people can buy enough goods with this kind of silver coins similar to military tickets, virtually for the best advertising of Yusheng silver coins, at most a few months, Silver coins will inevitably circulate among the people, a year later, and Yusheng can use silver coins to buy any item in the core area, of course, hiring manpower is the biggest expense, and in the future, with the expansion of Yusheng's influence, the more widely this silver coin is issued, the greater the profit of Yusheng!

"Gotta get this done." Tian Jitang looked at Sun Yuanhua, and suddenly bowed down and said, "Everything is up to Mr. Sun." ”

Sun Yuanhua was stabbed, frowned, and said, "You have to hurry, I only have less than a month left on my vacation." Build the premises as quickly as possible, and then install more machines, and recruit enough workers, and by the time I leave, the size of the coinage will reach more than five thousand coins a day, which will be enough in the early stages. ”

Everyone didn't say anything, although Sun Yuanhua's temperament is not good, but it has been respected and recognized here in Li Zhuang, these machines in front of him look simple, in fact, from design to finalization, and then to casting, Sun Yuanhua contributed the most, and the credit is also the greatest.

For some things, imagination is one thing, and it is another thing to put imagination into practice.

Here in Li Zhuang, there are many hands-on talents, but when they come to the height of Sun Yuanhua and turn Zhang Han's idea into reality, there are indeed few such talents.

It's a pity that the person in front of him is already the secretary of the military department, a serious court official, and he has a great future.

As if feeling something, Sun Yuanhua faced Zhang Han and said: "Sun Gebu also has high hopes for a certain person, and the imperial court also wants a certain person to serve in it, and Li Zhuang here can only help here." ”

Zhang Han smiled and said: "Brother Chuyang doesn't need to say much, I will understand in my heart, when you leave, you must prepare a banquet, thank you Brother Chuyang." ”

"It's okay to have a banquet," Sun Yuanhua said, "The silver taels for me should also be prepared." ”

Zhang Han and everyone smiled.

……

Coming down from the north and south canals, Zhang Han did not go back to Lizhuang directly, but walked to the east.

The branch canal can only accommodate one person, at most two people are forced to staggered by, and each of them does not ride a horse and follows Zhang Han on foot.

The corners of people's robes are much shorter than Zhang Han's, and the hem is tighter than the previous style, so it is not difficult to walk in the branch channels and ridges in the fields.

The sun rises high, but there is not much heat, the weather is still very cold, fortunately the wind is not strong today, people do not need to be wrapped too tightly, and in such weather in the field walk, by the sun, everyone is in a very happy mood.

Zhang Han walked in the fields, looking around, there were endless farmlands everywhere, there were originally some villages hidden in the forest, because now except for a few people who stayed in the farmland, most of the people in the vicinity are working for He Yusheng in the workshop or everywhere, and many people are hired to go north, and the village is empty all of a sudden.

Zhang Han also had mixed feelings in his heart, and the fact that the peasants who gave up their land to work for a long time in later generations was achieved in a few years in his own country.

Of course, this is also because He Yusheng did not expand far away for various reasons, and the current volume of He Yusheng is limited to the area from Tianchengwei to Lingqiu, so it is not surprising that this situation is in front of him.

Some old men and women carried dustpans with some manure on their shoulders, and they walked along the ridges, constantly putting the manure in the ditches and covering the soil with hoes.

When people saw Zhang Han, people kept bowing and saying hello in the fields, and women squatted down to perform blessings.

Zhang Han waved into the distance from time to time, and a group of children ran over and looked at Zhang Han with curious eyes.

Zhang Han said to an official of the Military and Political Department: "Are all children over the age of nine enrolled in school?" ”

The humanitarianism of the Department of Military Administration: "Most of them are enrolled in school, and there are a few families who refuse to live or die, most of them are families who have no strong labor force and no work, they have a difficult life, even if their children go to school for free tuition and two meals, these families are not cost-effective, and the seven or eight-year-old baby can already do a lot of work." ”

Zhang Han said: "Make a statistic, if you don't let your children go to school because of difficulties, you can give them some subsidies, and how much the baby can help the family, we will make up for them." ”
