Gold-yuan alloy arms are a set of sixty kilograms. If it is exchanged for making coins, it can make millions of coins worth millions, but this set of arms is only priced at a few thousand or hundreds of dollars. The gold-yuan alloy that makes coins is money, and making arms is just arms, which is differentiated.

Anyway, except Ying Yi, no one has the means to smel the arms made of gold and yuan alloy to convert coins.

What's more, this is just the first generation of coins. In the future, with higher alloy materials, the second and third sets of coins will be released.

As for why not use paper money, Ying Yi’s own considerations were also considered. Early paper money was found in the Song Dynasty. However, paper money was too easy to imitate and had future troubles. Even in the era before Ying Yi traveled through time, there were quite a few counterfeit coins.

At that time, the state's ability to monitor the people was not comparable to that of now. The Ming Dynasty also issued treasure notes, but it also collapsed.

Using physical objects that cannot be imitated as coins will be easier to be accepted by this era and will also reduce hidden dangers.

After seeing the coin samples, Liu Yiqian and others agreed with Ying Yi's coin modification plan.

Liu Yiqian said: "It is feasible to change the lord's coins. However, the subordinates thought that a few more small amounts of coins could be added to facilitate the use of ordinary people."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "What I took out is just a sample. How to implement it is the business of your Commercial Bureau. Take out the charter as soon as possible and give me a description."

"Yes, lord." Liu Yiqian knew it immediately.

Ying Yi said: "The change of coins does not only involve the replacement of gold, silver and copper. How many new coins should be issued and how to replace them specifically requires detailed plans. We need to coordinate the economic scale under our rule, and how much does the people need to issue them..."

Liu Yiqian smiled and said, "My lord, please rest assured. There have always been rules for issuing coins. If more issuing, the price of private objects will increase, so that the people cannot bear it. If less issuing, it will be inconvenient for trading and circulation."

Seeing that he understood the truth, Ying Yi was immediately satisfied and smiled and said, "It's good to be like this."

Then he said: "At the beginning of issuance, we have to exchange it for the original private currency. You have to know how to compare it."

"The processing workshop will complete the arms manufacturing within half a month. Your Commercial Bureau will prepare first and start working on this matter when the arms manufacturing comes to an end."

In the following days, Ying Yi specially made ten processing tables dedicated to making coins. In addition to the gold and yuan alloy processing workshop, a specialized department for making coins was established, which belongs to the Commercial Department.

In this way, the preparations for coin modification should be done properly.

But Ying Yi still has no time.

During the half month of the process workshop being stepping up the forging of arms, Ying Yi was busy improving crop seeds with Erniu. In addition to the large amount of wheat and rice seeds transported from Kaifeng every day, Ying Yi also improved some daily fruits and vegetables.

Improvements are made in terms of output and resistance to pests and diseases. Other aspects are slightly shorter.

Including home-cooked peaches, plums, vegetables, etc., there are even special people who open a botanical garden in the mountains to plant various improved fruits and vegetables.

In addition, there are some cash crops, such as cotton and linen, and mulberry trees.

It is planned to slowly promote these improved fruits, vegetables and cash crops to the public after the popularization of improved staple food.

Although these need to be done step by step, they also need to be prepared in advance.

When the armament task of the processing workshop was completed, it was exactly half a month later. The logistics department immediately allocated the military equipment and ordered the auxiliary army to transport it to various troops for dressing. Of course, Ying Yi didn't need to handle the specific matters personally.

After completing the arms mission, the gold-yuan alloy was no longer so nervous, and the coin minting workshop under the Commercial Bureau began to mint coins.

Among the detailed documents handed over by the Commercial Bureau, three more were added based on the five coin samples proposed by Ying Yi before. There is a half-civilian coin with a minimum denomination value of coins. Then, between one and ten, a five-civilian coin is added, and between ten and hundreds of civilian coin, a fifty-civilian coin is added.

In this way, coins are divided into eight levels. Starting from half a text, one text, five text, ten text, fifty text, one hundred text, and then thousands and ten thousand.

And due to the different values ​​of the currency, the color also varies. Half of the text is brass, one of the text is purple copper, ten of the text is silver, fifty text is silvery yellow, hundreds of text is light gold, thousands of text is card-shaped coins are pure gold, and tens of thousands of text are purple-gold.

The coloring and processing are the same process. During the processing, the coloring is immersed in the gold-yuan alloy and will not be worn.

Ying Yi doesn't have to take charge of the money-making matter himself. He has more important things to do.

That is the Bafang Tower and the Dijiyi.

The Bafang Tower and Dijiyi that were manufactured before were defective, and the materials were made of Baijian Steel. After meeting the military needs, the gold and Yuan alloy became loose, and Ying Yi planned to make several genuine products.

One is that the defective product has a little lack of function, and the other is that only one is insufficient.

So in the next half month, Ying Yi completed the creation of three Bafang Towers and two Dijiyi. On the eve of September, he had a total of three authentic Bafang Towers, one inferior Bafang Tower, and one inferior Dijiyi, and two authentic Dijiyi. In this way, in a short period of time, no longer the need for Yuanqi energy or the demand for improved crops.

The entire Crescent Valley is completely on track.

Headed by Moshiji, it is under the jurisdiction of two branches: gold-yuan alloy body smelting and manufacturing processing system, ordinary metal smelting and manufacturing processing system. Under these two systems, there are related industries such as raw material mining, preliminary processing, and transportation. A total of 3,000 craftsmen and 20,000 regular slave labor are involved.

There are also side branches such as salt making, living and working tools manufacturing, weaving workshops, etc.

In addition, due to some of the opinions raised by Ying Yi, he also planned to build related industries for glass and ceramic firing and processing near Xiaowangzhuang outside the mountain.

The reason for doing this is probably a subsidy. The biggest function of the entire Fangcheng Mountain and the two valleys is to meet the official needs of the Ying Yi regime. The only three items that can generate external profits are salt mines, living, working equipment manufacturing and weaving workshops.

We must explore new profit points, and at least satisfy the self-sufficiency of Fangchengshan and the two valleys. After all, except slave labor, all craftsmen and workers in all industries in Fangchengshan involved must pay salaries. This salary cannot be collected from Ying Yi all the time.

In addition to the above items, Ying Yi also gathered the ammunition manufacturing system of muskets and cannons, and established an ammunition workshop in a valley several miles away from the Crescent Valley.

Relevant tasks of improving gunpowder and fixed ammunition were issued.
