Today, even the best copper coins with gold backs can only be exchanged for one tael of silver for one tael of silver. The ordinary ones are already three thousand or even five thousand for one tael of silver. Basically, not many people are willing to ask for it. The private casting of copper coins is amazing, the fake ones are extremely low in copper content and thin.

If one tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand hardware copper coins, one tael of silver is worth 200 coins of copper coins, and one tael of copper coins is worth seven and a half coins. And two or five coins of copper coins are only larger than one in the copper coins of copper coins, and it is not twice and five times heavier.

Forty five-civilized copper coins are worth one tael of silver, and can be exchanged for 1,500 gold-backed copper coins, and one is thirty-seven and a half.

He suddenly thought, isn’t this the one that is often issued in previous dynasties to be ten or twenty copper coins?

"Is this possible? Can the people accept it?"

"Of course, as long as this copper coin can be exchanged for one silver dollar for one hundred copper coins at any time, it's fine."

Lu Weizhang could imagine how much profit would be if this new copper coin could be implemented. After all, this small copper coin is used in ordinary circulation. Even if there are tens of millions or hundreds of millions of coins a year, there is a demand for it, so how many of them are fine. But if you are tens or twenty or even thirty or forty, can the people accept it?

There is such a huge profit, how could those private casters let it go?

"Increase anti-smuggling efforts, and at the same time vigorously promote our small silver dollar coupons. Well, we can issue another set of copper dollar coupons, and issue five documents, two documents and one document according to the denomination of copper dollar."

Liu Jun has great ambitions. He wants to establish a new monetary system. If this system is completed, Sihai Bank, which holds the right to issue, will truly have a money tree and even the country's economic lifeline.

"We have to find a way to make money flow, so that all the money buried deep in the cellar flows into our silver treasury. Turn them into silver dollar, copper dollar, silver dollar, copper dollar, silver dollar bill."

Lu Weizhang was amazed at Liu Jun’s idea.

"I will soon form a team to serve as the bank's security department, which is responsible for guarding local bank outlets, protecting counters, bank warehousing, mints, printing coin factories, and escorting coin coupons. We will also be responsible for investigating private minting, etc.."

The bank is getting bigger and bigger, and it is still good in the two lakes. In other provinces, security issues are a big problem, especially now that they are still facing serious private minting of counterfeit coins. Liu Jun cannot count on government officials everywhere. He has to establish a bank security organization to be responsible for this area.

"No problem." Lu Weizhang also agreed with this move. "Business is not too worried. No one dares to openly rob our banks and carts, but there is no big mistake to be cautious."

The bank has been developing smoothly overall, but there are some troubles in Jiangnan money houses.

“Our lottery sales have declined severely.”

He told Liu Jun that after the issuance of his own prize-giving and salary coupons, the Jiangnan Money Bank, which was responsible for issuing, established several types of prize coupons according to Liu Jun's instructions. The methods of lottery were different, but they were all for stimulating sales. For a while, it was really popular. Jiangnan Money Bank opened outlets across the country, and the prize coupons became so popular. One by one, the prizes were drawn, and countless people became rich overnight, attracting countless people to buy prize coupons.

The prize tickets for Jiangnan Money House also counted 2 silvers from each original one. Many new prize tickets that can be bought for only one or two cents were added. In the most popular months when the prize tickets for Jiangnan Money House were sold, the highest total income of more than 500,000 taels per month, of which the tax paid to the court reached 300,000 taels. This was the most brilliant time when Jiangnan Money House won the prize tickets, and the largest first prize was awarded 500,000 silver dollars.

But the glory passed quickly. Now the sales of lottery tickets in Jiangnan Money House has dropped rapidly. Last month, the national lottery sales profit was only 200,000 yuan.

"Now, many new prize tickets have emerged everywhere, all kinds of collusion between officials and businessmen, and behind them are the heroes, nobles, relatives, gentry and gentry. All provinces, prefectures, prefectures, counties, big and small prize tickets are sold like explosions. These people have the support of local officials, not only robbed us of many shares, but also always cause trouble for us. Now, except for Huguang and the two provinces, we are almost unable to establish a sufficient amount in other places."

Lu Weizhang said angrily. If there is fair competition, Jiangnan Money House would not be afraid of those newly-launched tickets later, but these people always have countless secret tricks.

"Forget it, this day will come sooner or later."

Liu Jun was not very angry. The lottery tickets were indeed like gambling, and they didn’t cost much, but they were profitable. Such a business was of course the favorite of the powerful and powerful. With their relationship and collusion with local officials, they could quickly get a few votes. And Liu Jun could imagine that so many people flocked into this industry, and with the greed of those people, they would definitely cheat on internal winnings and other cheating methods.

It was originally a lottery ticket with a public welfare nature, but when these people intervened, they would immediately become a shady smoke. Now this lottery ticket is really a gambling game - a bet.

Anyway, Jiutou Bird also ate the first soup and made a lot of money.

"In the future, let's be safe in building the markets of Huguang and Guang. By the way, separate the lottery newspapers and set up a newspaper special." Liu Jun explained.

Although the lottery tickets in Jiangnan Money House have been popular, the lottery newspaper, the by-product of the lottery ticket, has already had a strong influence. The lottery newspaper that originally specialized in printing and publishing the lottery results is no longer just publishing the lottery numbers, but also publishing various news and current affairs, and even publishing advertisements and commercial information. It can be said that this has become a small influential newspaper.

The issuance volume remains above 10,000 copies per day. Not only is it sold in two lakes, but it is also available in two Beijings and other provinces.

The lottery tickets have gone over the limelight, but the lottery newspaper has already risen and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.

"The Times of Caibao changed its name and set up a newspaper to make this newspaper bigger and stronger and achieve current affairs in the world. Whether it is national affairs or commercial information, we can know it as soon as possible, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can stay at home and know it as soon as possible."

The role of newspapers is huge. Liu Jun knows more than everyone that if you hold a newspaper, you can master a powerful public opinion position.

The Times must have greater influence and will definitely not be used as an accessory for lottery tickets, nor will it be managed by Jiangnan Money House. A group of businessmen will definitely not be able to get a good newspaper.

Especially in this era, there is no newspaper that Liu Jun wants to run like the Times.

He needs to find the right person for the Times to handle it, but it is a problem for whom to deal with it.

The literati he was familiar with were basically either officials of the court or scholars of Fushe like Li Chunjiang. But Liu Jun was worried about handing over the newspaper to them. To put it bluntly, their ideas were basically the same, especially for Fushe, which was completely different from their philosophy.

If you hand over the Times to them, you will definitely have to do it wrong in the end. If you don’t do it well, it will become Donglin’s public opinion position. Liu Jun will never do such a stupid thing.

It is even more unsuitable to ask Liu Jun to hand over the Times to a businessman like Lu Weizhang.

Liu Jun went to see Li Chunjiang, talked about this matter to him, and asked him if there was a suitable candidate.

"Times, good idea." Li Chunjiang agreed with Liu Jun's concept of running a newspaper. If he hadn't been in office, he would have wanted to report this newspaper in person.

However, Li Chunjiang also has his own opinions on this newspaper. He felt that Liu Jun's Times was too complicated, especially not too much commercial information, nor should it be published. The Times should be more generous, publishing current affairs of the government and the opposition, discussing the country and the country, serving as a staff officer, and even supervising the impeachment of those incompetent officials.

Speaking of excitement, Li Chunjiang even danced, which made Liu Jun feel a little unfamiliar.

What he said was exactly what Fushe likes to do most, scholars discuss politics and evaluate state affairs. In the final analysis, they were just random attacks on the imperial officials and scolding this and that, only knowing how to pick the mistakes, but there was no real solution.

Of course, this kind of argument is not all bad, but Liu Jun thought that the current situation is not useful when cursing her mother every day. And what he couldn't accept the most was that these people cursed and eventually became common people and attacked the differences. They would not scold their own people, and even curse their opponents, or even tell their right or wrong. They would oppose their opponents and oppose them for the sake of opposition.

"As the Times, the first newspaper of this kind, you have to be careful when you cross the river by feeling the stones. And you must accept it. You cannot always talk about things that are superior, but you have to publish things that are closely related to people's lives. As for commercial advertisements, it is also to maintain newspapers. After all, there is profit. In this way, we can reduce the price of newspapers as much as possible, let more people buy them, and we can also have money to recruit more journalists and editors to make the content of the newspaper better."

"Is Jiye still short of money? Besides, you can get it by raising it at will."

Liu Jun smiled. This is Li Chunjiang's style of behavior. Just like when he started the Nine-Headed Bird, he spent a lot of money. But this is not Liu Jun's style. If Li Chunjiang's model is followed, how could the Nine-Headed Bird quickly expand to its current scale?

Liu Jun has money, but he doesn't want to run a newspaper that relies solely on investing money. He wants to run a newspaper that can support himself and make profits. It's not that he lacks money, but that this is a healthy development model.

"I know that there is one person who will definitely meet your requirements. It would be nice to ask this person to report to your Times. But what do you think of this person? A very talented person, but in the eyes of many people, he is a waste, a prodigal son, a stupid scholar, and a sleepy man."

"I am a playboy at a young age and love prosperity very much. I have good food in the temple, beautiful maids and children, bright clothes and horses, bright lights and fireworks, good pear gardens, good antiques, and good flowers and birds!"

Liu Jun frowned when he heard the beautiful and beautiful maid. This description can be said to be a combination of the luxurious and enjoyable habits of playboys and the decadent and relaxed style of the late Ming scholars and literati indulging in lust and playing. Is this person suitable?

However, he knew Li Chunjiang well and knew that since he said it was appropriate, he would definitely be outstanding.
