The specifications and styles of banknotes to be issued, as well as the most important denominations and currency units, were also discussed.

Based on previous experience and at Yang Song's suggestion, special pigments were added to the paper used for banknotes to prevent counterfeiting and made special banknote paper. This special pigment has different colors when viewed in different directions.

Then let the engraver carve a special mold. It is very difficult to carve directly with steel. There is a small row of holes in the mold. You can use a special movable type template to form a code in the hole, so that each banknote has a different code. And

There are different patterns and characters in other parts of the mold, which are basically based on the previous currencies, and the patterns printed on the paper can still be touched and felt, which requires very high carving skills.

Then there are the pigments used for printing, with red and black as the main colors, and yellow and green as the secondary colors. They are all extracted from specific plants.

The banknotes finally issued were rectangular and about the size of a palm. The denominations were: 1 Wen, 5 Wen, 10 Wen, 20 Wen, 50 Wen, 1 Qian, 2 Qian, 5 Qian, and 1 Liang. This was also Yang Song's final decision.

of.

"Wen" and "Liang" are actually the monetary units of ancient Chinese coins. The weight of the silver standard is used to determine the denomination value of the currency. It has no impact if used as paper currency. This can be regarded as making up for Yang Song's regret that he cannot use gold and silver coins.

Take comfort!

Finally, in order to be linked to gold, a currency was created that could be used for circulation but was prohibited from being exchanged: gold coins!

The gold coin has exquisite patterns and anti-scratch serrations, with a face value of 10 taels and a weight of one tael of gold, which means that 10 taels of paper currency is equivalent to one tael of gold.

Yang Song asked Qian Liang to set up a bank (the operating model of a bank), print and manufacture currency samples, and then wait for the official issue after the Chinese New Year.

At the same time, the time for the implementation of private ownership is also on the same day, which is the first day of the new year - the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Next, the salary system for officials was decided - all paid in paper currency, divided into monthly salary and year-end bonus. The monthly salary is paid at the beginning of each month, and the year-end bonus is drawn up based on the financial situation after the performance appraisal at the end of the year.

The temporary stipulation is that officials at the monthly level are 1 tael and 5 taels, deputy town-level officials are 2 taels, town-level officials are 3 taels, deputy county-level officials are 4 taels, and county-level officials are 5 taels. This amount is used as the standard value, and further adjustments are made based on the work content and position.

Adjustment: busy, difficult and dangerous positions will be raised a little, and those that are more leisurely will be lowered a little.

In fact, a small-scale private ownership was implemented a year ago, that is, land ownership for land reclamation, but it was an incentive measure to encourage land reclamation and was not specific to all aspects. Now is the time to fully implement it.

The maximum quota of twenty acres of land per person has not yet been completed. It is not that no one has reclaimed twenty acres of land. It’s just that the productivity of this era simply cannot complete the production of so much land. Each farmer can take care of ten acres of land a year.

Mu of land is the result of physical strength and hard work. Therefore, many people choose to sell the reclaimed land that they cannot take care of themselves to the government in exchange for other needed materials, such as cattle and property rights of houses.

etc. For this reason, the first people in the territory to live a debt-free life are the hard-working farmers.

Because the territory stipulates that the land cannot be abandoned, the excess land recovered is used to distribute to the people who need the land later. Of course, these allocated lands are given to the new people in the form of lease, otherwise it will not be good for the first people.

It is too unfair for the people who came to reclaim the land. As long as the territory recovers the cost of reclaiming the land, the land will eventually be handed over to the people who planted it.

In addition to the ownership of land for reclamation, other industries also have their own incentives, so the implementation of private ownership is not as difficult as imagined, and it has basically become popular.

In addition to currency and land, the distribution of other properties depends on real estate.

The houses belong to the territory and are not rewarded to private individuals, so this time Yang Song decided to set a price for the houses. It is not that he is not generous, but that these houses are put there at a cost, even if they are rewarded by the system, they will be counted together.

Yes, this is for the sake of fairness! You must know that even the minority does not benefit the equal! This is also something that management must pay attention to.

Moreover, the prices of real estate are not expensive. They are only cost price (including labor costs). As long as you work hard in production for one to three years, you can buy a standard house. Don’t think it will take a long time. These standard houses are

In the past, they were all independent two-story villas!

The various materials in the territory that can be found in the wild are not valuable, only the labor cost and time cost, so sometimes Yang Song feels that there are many benefits to opening up wasteland in the new world, at least without Chen Ke's complicated interpersonal relationships and

All kinds of unnecessary scruples and worries. This is one of the reasons why the territory is developing rapidly now!

Yang Song is not afraid of something like "low prices hurting farmers". He wants to carry out macro-control anyway, and he is not afraid of his subordinates going against the rules and driving up prices - he still has the final say in this territory!

In order to prevent the people from all going to open up wasteland and no one going to work in factories and directly owned lands, he made a promise: as long as he works in the lord's fields or factories for three years, he will get a standard house for free without any additional money.

.

Whether it is a factory or high-quality fields outside the city, people need to work - these are the property of the territory, or Yang Song's property. The territory implements private land ownership.

As mentioned before, the land cleared for wasteland is privately owned, because the Chinese people are obsessed with land. In the past, it was public ownership, and everyone was allocated according to their needs. Now they are free to choose their jobs, and they all open up wasteland for farming. Is there any problem?

It is very possible for people to go to work in factories or other positions.

The factories in the territory are nothing more than large-scale comprehensive workshops of centralized handicrafts. They only need a high-quality power and certain rectifications to become a realistic factory. Therefore, Yang Song also set high wages, as well as welfare holidays for the workers.

The system and treatment are all on par with the military (second only to the military).

Ordinary soldiers earn 1 tael and 5 taels per month, captains get 2 taels, captains get 3 taels, and commanders get 4 taels. The wages of farmers and workers who serve the territory are adjusted to the standard of 1 tael per person per month; skilled workers

The tentative salary is 1 tael and 2 cents per month, and the tentative salary for teachers is 1 tael and 5 cents per month, etc. There are detailed regulations.

Of course, this is only tentative and will be adjusted in the future according to the economic situation. Also, if you get too much money, you will not be able to get it back for the time being. There are not many types of goods in the territory now, so the purchasing power of this money is still very strong.

In order to circulate currency, Yang Song decided to put a clear price on the excess land from wasteland reclamation, and sell the houses, workshops and shops at a clear price. This would stimulate people's passion for work and circulate currency, so that it would not collapse easily.

.

Compared with gold and silver as general exchange items of equal value, Yang Song regarded these properties as exchange items of equal value. This was also one of the ways to improve the integrity of the territory's currency.

With these various measures, Yang Song has some confidence in the upcoming banknotes and is confident that the people will accept them. After the currency is implemented, the economic development of the territory will usher in a period of growth.

In fact, it has been almost three years since he came to this world. All the decisions he has made are to lay a solid foundation for the territory. High-rise buildings are rising from the ground. Without a good foundation, future development will not be possible! Now!

It seems that there has been no qualitative change in the territory, but all current construction, including institutional construction, provides endless potential for future development!

----------

Yang Song sat at the desk in the study, looking at the drizzle outside the window, listening to the chirping of insects from time to time in the small courtyard, quietly experiencing the moment of tranquility after the busy work, slowly recalling the scenes of the past, not knowing how deep they were.

He sighed deeply and softly, "Hey, we still have a long way to go!"

I want to come to this strange world, and there are a group of strangers who say they are loyal to me. All kinds of sounds, behaviors, faces and environments are completely strange. Today, all the "strange" have become "familiar"

, he was uneasy when he came, but now he is calm and composed. Even he himself cannot believe the changes that have happened to him. He can only say that people are forced to come out. Fortunately, he is not Adou who cannot be helped.

----------

Time soon came to the end of the year, and a year-end banquet was held as usual in the lord's mansion. The banquet was for the main officials and other important personnel of the territory, as well as outstanding representatives of various industries.

"This is really a big growth! Even a banquet has political overtones. I have finally realized what political needs are!" Yang Song sat at the main seat holding a wine glass and looked at the lively scene around him with a smile on his face.

He smiled in response to the compliments from his subordinates, but what he was thinking in his heart was completely irrelevant.

"The lord is still wise. I used to think that private ownership must be implemented, but the lord knows when to implement it. No, after today, all of us will use our annual leave to be busy! Haha..." Qian Liang sat there

The following toasted and complimented with a smile.

"Are you blaming the lord for not giving you a holiday?" Yang Zhong pretended to blame him.

"Don't you dare? I'm just happy for a better tomorrow. How can you blame the lord? I would rather not have a holiday and work hard every day to realize the lord's grand wish. To help the lord, I will be broken into pieces.

You will never give up!"

"Haha..., I like the phrase "for a better tomorrow," but I don't have any grand aspirations. I just want the people to have a better tomorrow. And in this new world, for the Chinese people to live and work in peace and contentment,

For a better tomorrow, I hope you can work together with me!" With a smile, Yang Song looked at the dignitaries present, stood up and raised his glass!

"I would like to encourage you together!"

"I would like to encourage you together!"

…

After the banquet, it’s the end of the busy New Year, especially at the end of this year. On the first day of the new year, the territory will give a red envelope to the people in the territory - pay everyone the salary they deserve over the years based on their work performance in the past three years!
Chapter completed!
