Chapter 208 Coin Sample

Regarding the implementation of the Yuanfu system, Ying Yi has no better way for the time being. One simplification has fallen into sluggishness, and the threshold to lower the difficulty of entry has not been crossed. Secondly, no one generally meets the requirements for soul strength when learning Yuan Fu.

Speaking of the strength of the soul, the civil servants under Ying Yi are stronger in this aspect. Especially for senior executives like Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai, their soul strength has met the requirements for learning Yuan Fu. But unfortunately, their duty is not to learn Yuan Fu.

When the craftsmen who Ying Yi placed high hopes on received feedback from the true spirit, their first choice was to strengthen their bodies. This is not incomprehensible. Even Zheng Yunzhi and others have to increase their physical fitness when receiving feedback, not to mention the craftsmen who mainly work hard? Naturally, the main purpose is to enhance physical fitness.

Ying Yi did not interfere, because for craftsmen at this stage, strengthening the body was more useful than strengthening the soul. It can greatly improve the work efficiency of craftsmen.

However, although the implementation of the Yuanfu system is not easy, it can make a start. Even if you can't learn it, it's good to get familiar with it first.

Ying Yi plans to open up that jade book to a certain extent and limit it to the Crescent Valley. In addition, Ying Yi also has an idea, which he will then implement.

Ying Yi plans to stay in Crescent Valley for about another month.

He called Zhang Si: "Go to Kaifeng and call Liu Yiqian. Tell him it's about the currency exchange and ask him to bring the relevant officials."

Zhang Si took the order and left.

Then Ying Yi met Zhenren Li again.

During this period of time, Master Li was studying the Jade Book and Yuan Fu. As for the progress, he might not be satisfied with it, but the little Taoist Jingming impressed Ying Yi with admiration.

After making a pot of tea, Li Zhenren sighed: "When I was studying the Yuan Fu, I accidentally turned to the talisman, and it felt like a mess. But Jingming hadn't started learning to draw the talisman yet, and was caught up in the study of the Yuan Fu. Went to the front of Pindao."

Ying Yi understood immediately.

This should be regarded as the so-called intellectual disability. It is a learning obstacle caused by one's own inherent cognition to new knowledge. Just like when a boxer fights with someone, the first thing that comes to mind is punching, not kicking. Let him move his legs, but it will be awkward and hindered.

On the contrary, it is easier for people like Jingming to learn Yuan Fu than Zhenren Li, who has a blank sheet of paper along with the talisman.

The little Taoist priest Jingming smiled shyly, feeling embarrassed.

Ying Yi smiled and said: "Take your time, the left and right can be reversed."

Master Li nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." Then he said, "I wonder what will happen if you see a poor man?"

Ying Yi nodded: "Do you really know where this Yuanfu system comes from?"

"This..." Li Zhenren hesitated: "Is it an ancient inheritance?"

Ying Yixiao said: "It is true, but it is not. The Yuan Fu system was born with the Yi Jing as its mother. To understand the mystery of the Yuan Fu, you can start from the Yi Jing."

"Book of Changes?!" Li Zhenren was stunned.

Ying Yi said: "It's the Yi Jing. But for ordinary people, they may not be able to understand the mystery of the Yuan Fu from the Yi Jing. I have some opinions on this - the deeper the understanding of the Yi Jing, the better. I gradually discovered something. If the I Ching is completely converted into seal script and compared with Yuan Fu, there will be some similarities."

"Big seal script?" Li Zhenren opened his eyes wide.

"Of course." Ying Yi said: "These are some of my gains. Real people may give it a try."

Master Li took note of it and said: "Since it is what the Lord said, let's give it a try."

Ying Yi smiled and said: "If it is of some use, please ask the real person to convert the I Ching into large seal characters and print it out for easy promotion."

This is another method that Ying Yi came up with when he was thinking about promoting Yuan Fu.

This is indeed a discovery made by Ying Yi. Tracing back to its origin, the Yuan Qi Project was initiated with the Book of Changes as its mother. The Yuan talisman option under the entire Yuan Qi plan, each of the five basic Yuan talismans has 1,296 sub-talents, which are based on the mother talisman of the Yi Jing. If you want to delve into the Yuan talisman, you can start with the Yi Jing.

And Ying Yi vaguely discovered that the shape of the big seal script was slightly similar to the Yuan Fu. Combined with the principle that Yuan Fu takes the Book of Changes as its mother, when simplifying Yuan Fu fell into a sluggish obstacle, Ying Yi changed his mind and came up with this idea.

"If the real person is not good at big seal script, you can call some old scholars." Ying Yi said.

The next day, Liu Yiqian arrived. They also brought seven or eight officials from the Department of Commerce.

"I asked Zhang Si to call you. You already know the main reason." Ying Yi said: "The reason is the raw material demand for silver from Jinyuan Alloy, and Jinyuan Alloy is only the first extraordinary metal, and there will be more in the future. . Inevitably, like silver, copper and gold will probably become raw materials. In order to prevent excessive consumption of precious metals from affecting the private economy, coins must be changed."

After Liu Yiqian and others listened, they suddenly understood.

Then Ying Yi opened a wooden box on hand, revealing pale golden round coins of various sizes.

"I took the time to make some samples, you can take a look first."

He handed the box to Liu Yiqian.

These coins were urgently processed by Ying the next night, and the material was gold-yuan alloy. There are five specifications of coins. The first three are coins that are similar to copper coins but do not have a square hole in the middle. The latter two are pressed underneath, but they are in the shape of cards. One is three inches long and two inches wide, and one is four inches long and three inches wide.

The three types of copper coins have the same size in square and circle, but different thicknesses. The thinnest one is one penny, the second is ten pence, and the thickest one is one hundred penny. One side of the coin has a written forehead surrounded by cloud patterns, and the pattern on the other side is a grain pattern surrounded by a seemingly crooked, but mysterious and mysterious character.

As for card-shaped coins, the regulations are similar. The same side has the denomination and the other side has the characters, but the cloud patterns and grain patterns are much overturned, and the colors are also slightly different. Small cards are worth thousands, big cards are worth thousands.

This is what Ying Yi called the method of replacing the monetary status of gold, silver and copper coins - using coins made of gold and yuan alloys instead.

The symbolism of coins is greater than their own value. It is an expression of national credit, not itself. So it doesn’t matter what material you use. In Ying Yi's opinion, the currency status of gold, silver and copper should be abolished and replaced by another kind of currency. First, this kind of currency must not be inferior to gold, silver and copper in terms of appearance. The selling price of gold and yuan alloy far exceeds that of gold, silver and copper, and it meets this condition.

Secondly, after processing, Jinyuan alloy becomes extremely strong and wear-resistant. It is extremely non-copyable and can completely prevent private imitation.

Third, Jinyuan Alloy is completely in Ying Yi's own hands.

All things considered, Ying Yi came up with the idea of ​​replacing gold, silver, and copper with gold and yuan alloys.

However, gold-dollar alloys are linked to armaments. In this case, it is equivalent to using pure money to manufacture armaments. To eliminate this problem, gold-dollar alloy coins must be completely distinguished from gold-dollar alloy armaments.

This is not a problem, it is just a concept. Just like hundreds of years later, coins were made of paper, but the paper on the market had no currency value.
