In Hongye City, Zhang Feng's credit is naturally beyond doubt, even higher than Queen Isabel's. However, before the currency is issued, Zhang Feng cannot guarantee 100% success.

So he also made a backup plan. If the credit was not enough, he would use gold as a credit guarantee.

As for things like banknote printing equipment, you just need to buy a few good printing machines from Hyundai, use some high-quality special paper, and then make some simple anti-counterfeiting labels. In this world, it is absolutely impossible to imitate it for the time being.

After discussing with the girls for a while, Zhang Feng went to Modern. This time he did not bother Lin Yulan. He contacted them directly online. He did not care about the brand. He would always go for the most expensive one.

As for the design of banknotes, it was even simpler. We just found a design team and asked them to design a complete set of currency by saying that they were making props.

Although this requirement is a bit strange, with sufficient design funds, nothing is impossible to design.

After continuous revisions by the client Zhang Feng, the final version of the design was finally finalized.

This currency is divided into banknotes and coins. There are ten types of banknotes, namely: one cent, five cents, ten cents, fifty cents, one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan.

The banknotes are painted with the pattern of Hongye City, the logo of Hongye City, the logo of Buck Kingdom, etc. The complex patterns have a special beauty.

As for the color of the banknotes, Zhang Feng just copied it from the currency he actually used.

There are only a few coins in denominations: one cent, five cents, ten cents, fifty cents, and one dollar, and they are made of various alloys.

In fact, compared with paper money, coins cost much more, but sometimes coins are indispensable, and considering that not everyone trusts paper money, coins can be used as a buffer.

The exchange rate was calculated based on one dollar equaling one silver coin, one copper coin equaling one cent, and one gold coin equaling one hundred dollars.

However, Zhang Feng suddenly thought that it might not be appropriate to use paper money in the other world, because paper is easily damaged, and the other world is not very peaceful, so the damage rate must be much higher. Paper money may reduce people's trust, so Zhang Feng decided to use plastic as the main body of the banknote.

This type of plastic banknote is used in many modern countries and has proven to be feasible. It is more difficult to counterfeit, has a longer service life, and is more environmentally friendly.

Although the last-minute change of mind gave the design team a headache, they didn't know why they used plastic when it was just a prop and they could just use some paper. It was a big deal! They had to revise it again.

Although they complained in their hearts, they had no choice but to make the changes obediently, because Zhang Feng was the client's boss.

It took a month from buying the machine to designing and then finalizing the version.

Zhang Feng looked at the pile of brand new banknotes in front of him and smelled the faint scent of ink. He felt his mood instantly improved. Although there is still a big gap in craftsmanship compared with modern paper money, it can barely be considered a work of art. Zhang Feng couldn't let it go.

He never thought that one day he would be able to print money himself. This is probably the childhood dream of many people. This feeling... cannot be explained to outsiders.

As for the coins, they were relatively plain compared to the colorful banknotes. Zhang Feng played with them for a while and then threw them away.

It’s definitely not because the amount is small that Zhang Feng doesn’t like it.

After everything was ready, Zhang Feng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he placed all the equipment in a factory he rented, and then started printing money at full speed.

After all, Zhang Feng wants to exchange all the circulating currencies of the entire Buck Kingdom and the Orc Continent into red leaf banknotes, so the amount must not be too small.

It took a full month to print, during which time Zhang Feng traveled through time and space several times. When it felt about the right time, Zhang Feng felt it was time to leave.

However, before leaving, Zhang Feng did not forget to catch more than twenty ants.

In the evening, Lin Yulan was not at home. She went back to accompany her parents. Zhang Feng sat on the sofa, looked at the more than twenty ants crawling around in his hands, and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing more than a dozen ants crawling slowly in the palm of his hand, Zhang Feng showed a look of satisfaction. Although he could still only carry ants, the number had increased to more than a dozen, which seemed to be increasing slowly with time.

He believed that one day he would be able to bring a complete person here, he just hoped it wouldn't take too long.

No words were spoken that night.

the next day.

Zhang Feng came to the basement of the City Lord’s Mansion.

There used to be an underground cell here, and there was a treasure room underneath the cell.

It is a relatively deep place. Zhang Feng had not made much use of it before, but he can use it now. He put all the money printing equipment inside, and then modified the power supply system of the money printing machine to use mysterious crystal as energy. Then he found some trusted subordinates and started printing money.

Zhang Feng has had this thing prepared. You just need to put the ingredients in and press a few buttons. It's a fool-proof operation.

Then, Zhang Feng came to Hongye Bank and explained some things.

Soon, a bombshell news came out from Hongye Bank—Hongye Bank was going to issue a new currency!

This news, like an earthquake, spread quickly throughout Hongye City and then spread to the entire Buck Kingdom.

Isabel already knew about this in advance. She was just a little confused about Zhang Feng's sudden decision to change currency, but she did not stop him. After all, she had absolute trust in Zhang Feng.

Compared with Isabel, others were much more surprised. Those officials and nobles had no idea what Zhang Feng was up to.

The gold and silver coins were good before, so why did they suddenly change them? Did they print his own portrait on them? Everyone was talking about it.

Gradually, more and more news came.

For example, this new currency is completely different from the original gold, silver, and copper coins. It is made of a completely new material, very light and thin, easy to carry, and there is no way to forge it! Compared to the lightness and portability, people have never experienced it and have no idea about it. They are more concerned about the fact that it cannot be forged.

There are counterfeit coins in other worlds as well. They are not the kind that take iron as gold. After all, we are not stupid and can still distinguish this kind of material. This counterfeit coin refers to the kind that is short of weight or even has foreign objects mixed in with the gold coins.

This is not easy to prevent, because you can't cut every gold coin you collect into pieces.

Moreover, the currencies circulating in the Buck Kingdom are mainly divided into three types, namely the currencies of the Buck Kingdom, the former Gama Kingdom, and the former Luoyan Kingdom. These currencies have different shapes and even different weights, so it is very troublesome to convert them.

If the currency can be unified, it will definitely be beneficial to everyone. However, Hongye Bank said that these new currencies are made of a special material, not gold, silver, brass or the like. This has raised questions in many people's minds.

The reason why these things are used as gold coins is because these metals themselves are valuable. If they are not used, then is there anything else valuable?

If it's not valuable, then why use it?

Soon, more news came.

This new currency had to be exchanged for the original currency. One copper coin could be exchanged for one cent, one silver coin could be exchanged for one dollar, and one gold coin could be exchanged for one hundred dollars.

You can exchange gold coins for new currency, and you can also exchange new currency for gold coins.

Hearing that it can be exchanged at any time, everyone felt relieved.

In addition, when people heard that this new currency was promoted and guaranteed by Lord Zhang Feng, their doubts gradually turned into curiosity.

They really want to know what this new currency with such a beautiful legend is.

The news spread like wildfire in Hongye City for a whole day and became a hot topic.

The next day, Zhang Feng, Caroline and others were on the upper floor of Hongye Bank. They could see the lobby clearly from here, but they could not be seen from the lobby.

"Zhang Feng, I'm still a little nervous..."

Caroline spoke up a little sheepishly.

Although, if this new currency failed, it would not be a big loss for Zhang Feng, Caroline was still very nervous.

"It's okay, it's just a currency, we'll wait and see."

Zhang Feng gently hugged Caroline and looked down with some anticipation.

At nine o'clock, Hongye Bank opened on time.

There were already a lot of people queuing outside. When they saw the door open, they walked in one by one very consciously.

The bank notified them that currency exchange would be available today, so they naturally wanted to come and see what this new currency was.

"Huh? Are these pretty things paintings?"

As soon as they entered the door, everyone saw a glass display stand in the front, on which was placed a set of exquisite "artworks".

Everyone stared at it intently, thinking: Is this thing for sale? "It seems to have the logo of our Red Leaf City on it, and not only that, but also the logo of Buck Country, and..."

Soon, everyone saw many elements in these exquisite works of art. The more they looked, the more shocked they were. How could so many elements be integrated together without looking messy? Even the best painters couldn't do this! Everyone thought to themselves that if these things were sold, they would definitely buy them without hesitation, but they just hoped that the price would not be too expensive.

Just as everyone was watching, the bank's lobby manager came over.

"Sir, this is not a painting, but the new currency issued by our Red Leaf Bank!"

The lobby manager's words brought peace to the chaotic lobby.

This... new currency?

Is this what currency is?

Everyone was stunned.

Isn't this a work of art? How come it is currency? Someone asked weakly, "Excuse me, if I exchange gold coins now, can I exchange them for this new currency?"

"certainly!"

The lobby manager said with a smile.

"Then I want to exchange it!"

Without saying a word, the man immediately prepared to exchange it.

If he hadn't seen the currency, he might have been a little hesitant, but after seeing it, he felt that it was definitely worth exchanging!

Because in his opinion, this is not currency, but a beautiful work of art, which may even appreciate in value in the future!

Moreover, this currency is so beautiful, there must not be a lot of it. If you exchange one, there will be one less. If you don’t exchange it now, you will regret it later! “Okay, please line up here to exchange currency…”

Before the lobby manager finished speaking, anxious voices rang out again.

“I want to exchange it too!”

“I want one too!”

“…”

"Don't worry, we have enough new currency. Please line up in order..."

At the invitation of the hall manager and several orc security guards, everyone lined up in a long queue.

upstairs.

"Wow! Looks like our new currency is a success!"

Zhang Xiaotang clapped her hands happily.

The others also showed joy on their faces.

But Zhang Feng shook his head and said:

"No, it's too early to say it's successful now. If my guess is correct, most of these people are curious and want to invest. They won't exchange too much new currency. They may not even spend the new currency they exchange, but keep it at home as a family heirloom."

"Ah? No way..."

Zhang Xiatang was a little bit unconvinced, but when the statistical results came out in the evening, everyone looked at Zhang Feng with admiration.

Just as Zhang Feng said, there were many people exchanging new currency on the first day, but the overall amount was not large, and they exchanged them in sets, obviously not treating it as currency but as a collectible.

"What can we do? If it doesn't circulate, it won't be a currency..."

Zhang Xiaotang frowned. After listening to Zhang Feng's explanations over the past few days, they learned some knowledge about currency.

"Don't worry too much. This is within my expectations. It seems that some incentives are needed..."

Zhang Feng consoled with a smile.

Overall, Zhang Feng is still satisfied, because there is no credit problem today. No one doubts the value of the currency he issued, which is half successful. The next step is to get everyone used to using the currency, which will be a complete success.

So, the next day.

To celebrate the release of the new currency, Hongye City held a three-day discount event.

As long as you use the new currency to pay in Hongye City, you will enjoy a 20% discount.

This has taken the already hot topic of currency to a new level.

When the currency was issued before, some people were skeptical, some wanted to collect it, and some just watched the show, but they all had a feeling that it didn't matter whether they used the new currency or the old currency, as they could all be used anyway.

But now it’s different, the new currency is discounted! Although it’s only three days, during these three days, the new currency is worth more than the old currency! This is closely related to them.

As a result, more people came to exchange the new currency.

When they started using the new currency for transactions, they discovered that it was much more convenient than metal currency!

This purse contains much more money than before! Doesn't this seem good?

Zhang Feng is very strict in issuing currency. He releases only as much currency as can be exchanged.

It is currency after all.

Although he has the right to issue money, he cannot print money recklessly. Otherwise, if too much money is released, it will cause inflation and currency depreciation, which will cause people to lose trust, and then they will no longer use the new currency... This is a vicious cycle. Zhang Feng absolutely cannot open this loophole, at least not now.

Hongye City is a pilot project. After three days of activities and occasional publicity, everyone has gradually become accustomed to using the new currency.

This beautiful new currency looks better and better.

After waiting for another two days and making sure there were no problems, Zhang Feng promoted the new currency to the entire Buck Kingdom.

Since Hongye Bank is spread all over the country and can communicate instantly, it is not difficult to promote it.

It is only a matter of time before we collect the gold and replace the country's currency.

At this time, Zhang Feng contacted Shu Daqiang, and it was time to talk to King Bennett about the issue of currency issuance.
