Regarding the financial system positioning instructions of this book, the following are my calculation results and reference data. My greatest hope is that the financial currency exchange ratio in modern novels in the future can be used as a reference. I hope that the vast majority of book friends who are familiar with it can give advice and support! The cruiser has thanked me in advance!

The value of currencies of various countries:

The gold content of one pound is 7.32238 grams (pure gold), and the gold content of one US dollar is 1.50463 grams (pure gold), that is, the gold content of one pound is 4.8665 times that of one US dollar, so one pound = 4.8665 US dollars

The legal currency unit in France. 1 franc is equal to 100 centimes. The denominations of paper notes in circulation are 10,20,50,100,200,500 francs, silver coins have 5,10,50 francs, and minted coin denominations of 0.5,1,5,10 francs and 1,5,10,20 centimes.

This is a collection of existing German gold coins. Since the value of Germany is very unstable, the data of this book is positioned based on the gold content of the 1898 gold coins.

The Russian ruble was the first currency unit of Tsarist Russia. The price comparison with gold began to be established in 1800. In 1897, the gold content of ruble banknotes was 0.774234 grams.

Kupingliang - A brief explanation of Kupingliang, referred to as 2, is a weight unit of the old Chinese system. In the late Qing Dynasty, the conversion of Kupingliang to other units is as follows: 1 liang = 1/16 jin 1 liang = 37.3 grams 1 liang = 10 qian Since 1 jin is equal to 16 liang, there is an idiom "half jin 8 liang", which means it is comparable.

Kupingliang - Related entries Kupingliang itself was the unit of gold and balance in the Qing Dynasty.

Kupingyin was the standard currency unit used in the treasury revenue and expenditure of the Qing Dynasty. It started during the Kangxi period.

The Shimonoseki Treaty stipulated that one ku Ping two is equivalent to 575.82 centimeters, or 37.26542108 grams of deciduous silver (93.5374% in color). In 1908, the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty formulated a unified weight and measure system, stipulating that one ku Ping two is 37.301 grams.

Since the value of gold in history is much more stable than that of paper money and silver coins in various countries, and gold itself is valuable, in order to realize the basic financial system in this book, I will use the gold content of currency as the basic exchange relationship of currencies in various countries in this book, and use the ratio of currency gold content as the ratio of currency exchange.

1 pound = 7.32238 grams of gold

1 franc = 0.2903225 grams of gold

1 USD = 1.50463 grams of gold

1 German gold mark = 10 German mark = 3.58425 grams of gold

1 ruble = 0.774234 grams of gold

1 yen = 0.75 grams of gold

1 Kuping two silver = 37.3 grams = (gold-silver price ratio of 1:20 in the Sino-Japanese War of 1990) 1.865 grams gold = (gold-silver price ratio of 1:35 after 1900) 1.065 grams gold

1 peso = 0.507816 grams of gold

All the following numbers are rounded to

1 pound = 25 francs = 5 US dollars = 2 German gold mark = 20 German mark = 9 rubles = 10 yen = 4 Kuping two (before 1894) = 7 Kuping two (post-1900) = 14 pesos

The above results will be used as the financial positioning of this book. For the sake of writing, please forgive me if there is any inappropriate calculation!
