Although it is a metal currency, as long as the face value is specified, it is actually a credit currency. It is just that compared with paper currency, it has an extra layer of "fig leaf".
Although there are regulations that require certain conditions for the issuance of the new currency, as of now, it is still up to Emperor Chongzhen to decide. At most, if he gets annoyed, he will just say "I have made up my mind" and see which minister dares to continue to oppose it!
As long as the army recognized the new money, it would not be a problem. The prestige of Emperor Chongzhen in the army was the greatest except for the two founding emperors.
As a result, the court's urgent need for money was actually solved.
However, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew that it was useless to just solve the problem of money, and there must be enough supplies. Otherwise, if there was too much money and too few supplies, the money would still depreciate.
