1890 King of Southeast Asia

On November 25, Xu Hui brought three sets of currency drawings.

"Who are you going to put in charge of the central bank?" Liu Yiming asked while selecting.

"I recommend Du Dewei as the president, who has a degree in finance, and Tian Rui, the vice president, who also graduated in economics and management. Both of them worked in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce before, serving as directors." Xu Hui said after a moment of hesitation.

"I remember working in the arsenal before?" Liu Yiming heard these two names sound familiar.

"Yes."

"Okay, the rules and framework will be based on the British style first, and then we can change them later if there are any problems. Take your time, don't rush." ​​Liu Yiming picked out a set of currency drawings.

The 100-yuan note is dominated by Mount Tai and the Qin map, with black as the main color, yellow Mount Tai, and red plate map.

The 50-yuan note is bright yellow as the main color, gray Kunlun Mountain, and red Han Dynasty map...

What moved Liu Yiming was that there were some small words printed on each banknote, such as the one on the 100-yuan note.

On the left: The remaining power of the sixth Qin Dynasty swept across the world and unified the world.

On the right: In the 26th year of Qin Wangzheng, the world was unified and he was called the First Emperor.

Then there is a portrait of the King of Qin in the upper right corner of the right size.

Other denominations also have their own stories, maps and images.

What is special is that 50\\/20 are both from the Han Dynasty, divided into the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. The Eastern Han Dynasty uses bright yellow as the base, and the Western Han Dynasty uses khaki as the base. There are also different plate sizes and peaks.

The ten-yuan red Tang, the five-yuan white Song, the two-yuan dark green Yuan, the one-yuan bright red Ming, and the fifty-cent light green Qing.

The size, color, and pattern are different.

It is not easy to make a mistake, and there is also Liu Yiming's request, which shows a certain cultural heritage.

"If we use this set, how much money is left in the treasury?" Liu Yiming picked out this set and asked Xu Hui.

"The British debt was postponed, the United States paid back the first loan, and then the UK injected another 20 million pounds. There is still some gold in the treasury. All in all, there are still about 25 million." Xu Hui took out the report and said.

This year, there was a bumper harvest. Not to mention the bumper harvest of grain, the daily chemical products and fruit industry occupied the entire dieqing and Japanese markets, with a net profit of millions of pounds.

Don't think it's outrageous. In the future, such a lazy tropical race, with a Java Island of more than 100,000 square kilometers, is basically the size of Dongshan.

It feeds more than 100 million people, and there are grains for export, as well as tens of millions of tons of tung oil and rubber for export.

"Print it at a ratio of one to five. In addition, take the pounds and slowly exchange them for gold, or exchange them at the bank, or buy them in the market. Buy as much as you can without causing fluctuations." Liu Yiming explained.

After the finalization, it is time to make molds.

It happened that the transportation of troops has been completed. If the logistics can be transported, they will be transported. If not, they will buy the British.

Liu Yiming took over Xu Hui's position and watched the bank print banknotes.

On December 1, 17 banks were opened in various cities under the control of Nanhua at the same time. They were large and small, such as Batavia, Semarang, and Surabaya, three large banks, medium-sized banks like Bandung, and newly established Pioneer Town, small banks.

They all had the same sign - Nanhua Central Bank

Liu Yiming originally wanted to open state-owned banks with different focuses based on his own experience, but was persuaded.

"We are not big, there is no need for so many banks. Nanhua Bank can open more departments to focus on various industries." Du Dewei said.

"Yes, opening so many banks, in the end there is nothing to do, and it takes so much cost and so many people to operate, isn't this a waste!" Liu Yiming knew why Xu Hui wanted Tian Rui to be the vice president.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, so Liu Yiming gave up.

On December 5, the consuls of various countries were notified that Nanhua would carry out financial system reforms and Nanhua would no longer circulate currencies other than Southeast Asian currencies.

At the same time, the government also posted a notice that starting from December 10th, all non-metallic currencies would be stopped from circulating, and banks would start exchanging Southeast Asian currencies.

December 10th was also the payday for some factories.

"Lao Luo, have you received your salary?" Lao Shen had just received his salary and asked excitedly to his co-workers who had just finished work.

"Yes!" Lao Luo heard it and took out a stack of money in a fan shape and clapped his hands.

"New money! Look at this, this is the Tang Dynasty, this is the Han Dynasty, and this is the Song Dynasty." Lao Luo was a worker with a militia subsidy, with 70 yuan.

The workers had 30 or 40 yuan, and 70 or 80 yuan. Only technicians could get more than 100 yuan, and engineers had to pay at least 200 yuan.

"This money looks good, but can it be spent?" Lao Shen said a little uneasy.

"What's there to ask? If you really don't mind the trouble, just go and withdraw the money. You can also exchange it for gold and silver." Lao Luo said unhappily.

"Let's exchange it! I feel more at ease with the silver." Lao Shen said.

Old Shen took Old Luo to the bank. There are two banks in Surabaya, one in the commercial area and one in the industrial area. Surabaya is also the only city with two Nanhua Banks.

"Why are so many people exchanging silver? Isn't this paper currency a scam?" Old Shen saw a long queue at the door of the bank and there were police at the door, and he was even more unsure.

"Shouldn't it be?" Old Luo touched his head, "Dutch currency can be used, British currency can be used, American currency can be used, but Nanhua currency can't be used? What's the reason?"

"Old Luo, are you going to exchange?" Old Shen glanced at Old Luo.

"No, I'll use this, you go..." Old Luo was angry at first,

Then I found out that I was wrong, and said embarrassingly: "You have to send money to your home, you go with you."

"Excuse me? Is it to be redeem money?" This is, a person with a straw hat approached the two.

"Who are you? It is covered!" Lao Luo stared at his eyes, and the factory militia captain took the momentum.

"Don't misunderstand don't misunderstand, I'm a money, earning some stickers. No other meaning!" The man said nervously.

"Money for money?" Lao Shen whispered.

"Yes! Do you want to redeem money? How much do you like?" The man saw that the protagonist was this and asked Lao Shen.

"One hundred and twenty, all exchanged." Lao Shen took out the money. Lao Shen is an external DIE technician and Lin Pingzhi's cousin. Um, his wife's cousin.

"Are you going to send money? Really?" The man wanted to take the money, and Lao Shen shrank, and said weakly that he had no maliciously saying.

"Yes! How much can you fight?" Lao Shen asked.

"Walking price, five dollars against silver, you are ninety -six, I don't accept your stickers, do you all exchange it?" The man asked.

"Yes, yes, all exchanges, thank you, thank you!" This is the first month's salary that Lao Shen came here, ninety -six, almost his salary in the past half a year.

"Don't thank you, look at your salary level, at least a technician. Now, silver, ninety -six, I am here, that's my family, you now say, I will find it right." The man took it out. "The man took it out. One is called the old sink of more than ninety -six two.

"Your surname? Looking for you next time!" Lao Shen said excitedly holding the silver.

"I know, this is my hukou information, that restaurant is my family, this is a business license. Nowadays, I am not afraid that I will run!" The man took out two books, and the car was familiar.

"Hi, look at what you said, don't wait for the next cooperation." Lao Shen said awkwardly.

"Business is business, then money and goods are clear, don't regret it!" The man took out the contract and wrote three or two times. XXX purchased XXX 96 two white silver, paid 120 yuan ...

"Okay!" Lao Shen answered with more than three kilograms of silver.

"Lao Luo, let's go!" Lao Shen hid the silver in his bag and said to his friend Lao Luo.

"Don't panic, go to his house after paying a salary, I ask!" Lao Luo felt wrong and took Lao Shen forward.

"Brother, is the banknote?"

Just two steps, the two heard the opposite again, and looked at each other for a while.

"How do you change your banknote?" Lao Luo asked for a while.

"Now the foreign exchange changes to the banknote, which is not expensive, five %, and the quantity can be talked about." The man said absently.

"What about the banknotes for gold and silver?" Lao Luo asked again.

"Oh? You want to change? Golden posts are two cents, I can post five cents, how much do you have? How much do I want!" The man's eyes brushed.

"Forget it, let's not change it, let's take a look." Lao Luo covered Lao Shen's mouth and pulled Lao Shen away.

"Huh ~ He pitted me, pitted me five or two silver!" Until far, Lao Luo let go of Lao Shen. Lao Shenyi speaks, this is the case.

"Forget it, the contract is signed, what else can you do?" Old Rosa took Lao Shen and the contract was signed. If it was unreasonable, they bought it at the official price and could not be ignored.

"Oh!" Lao Shen thought about it.

"It's okay, just next time. By the way, you quickly send the silver away. DIE's clearing the earth should not fall, but let's be there, the silver is falling, it is getting worthless."

Lao Luo thought of Jin Erli, the price of Yin Wuli, and said.

"Okay! I go to the post office." Lao Shen nodded quickly.

This situation happened in various places. Not because of anything else, Liu Yiming used administrative orders to make workers, soldiers, government personnel, and government payment methods.

At the same time, the use of foreign exchange can continue to use metal currency, but it is not allowed to use any form of metal currency vouchers, which is the bill.

The most important thing is that the group of businessmen in South China has participated in the establishment and construction of South China more or less, and even directly changing the industry to become an official.

These people are constantly depositing money into the bank.

And Liu Yiming's first batch of only 20 million Southeast Anec by Southeast is equivalent to four million pounds. It is not enough in Surabaya, causing a short market lack of money and causing shrinkage.

However, this is what Liu Yiming wants. To let everyone think that he is valuable, then his status is stable.

The community transaction will not be affected, you can save money directly, and then draw accounts for the bank, so shrinking is not serious.

As of December 31, 1891, 90 million Southeast Asian coins have been issued.

About 8 tons of gold, of course, there are not so much gold in Nanhua, but the bank has piled up 40 million pounds or gold silver, of which 25 million were deposited by the government, and 15 million were collected in South China. Essence

In other words, there are still 9 tons of gold in the bank. The banknotes only issue 8 tons of gold, which is particularly healthy!
