Chapter 35 Anti-counterfeiting Technology of Flying Money

In Li Jiancheng's study in the East Palace, Li Yuanji and Wei Zheng stood side by side in front of the bookcase, Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng and said excitedly: "Big brother, the second child was called into the palace by his father, and it is estimated that it is for the assassination of Luo Shixin!" ”

Li Jiancheng didn't seem to feel that Li Yuanji and Wei Zheng were in front of him, and his eyes wandered out of his body. Wei Zheng had been observing Li Jiancheng's expression, Li Jiancheng seemed to be thinking about something, and for a long time, Li Jiancheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Li Yuanji said cautiously: "Big brother, do you want to sit back and watch Luo Shixin's assassination and be indifferent?" ”

Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned and said, "How can you say this?" ”

"Isn't it clear yet?" Li Yuanji said: "Luo Shixin has just been assassinated, the eldest grandson Wuji was in the house in Qujiangfang to raise the dead, and he was denounced, it is ridiculous, the eldest grandson Wuji's dead fat man Xinna's concubine Jiang, the Jiang family originally had a childhood sweetheart lover Guo Shilang, but when Guo Shilang had a private meeting with the Jiang family, he was discovered by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji under the anger ordered someone to beat this Guo Shilang to death, and the Jiang family was angry and exposed the matter of the eldest grandson Wuji raising the dead and hiding the armor privately......"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned, his eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered to himself: "This seems to make sense of reason, but it's too much of a coincidence, in this world, the most believable thing is a coincidence." ”

"Xuancheng's view is exactly what this palace means!" Li Jiancheng nodded approvingly and said: "There are too many coincidences here, although the eldest grandson is not a high-ranking lord, but it is not enough to accept a beautiful concubine." As long as he takes a concubine, there are people in Chang'an, and he sends his daughter to the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

When Li Yuanji heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Big brother, this is the best time to deal with King Qin......

Without waiting for Li Yuanji to finish speaking, Li Jiancheng interrupted: "Father is not confused, although he is in the palace, his eyes can see clearly." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanji felt a lot of disappointment in his heart.

Li Jiancheng asked again: "What is Chen Juma doing now?" ”

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned, bowed down and said, "Weichen doesn't know, I think it should be with Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, enjoying the joy of family." ”

Li Yuanji said: "Big brother, I know about this, the third brother-in-law and the third sister think that Chang'an is too hot, and they want to go to Qinglin in Wannian County to escape the summer!" ”

"Escape the heat?" Li Jiancheng smiled dumbly: "They are very good at enjoying it, but this palace is not idle for a moment." ”

Wei Zheng asked, "What is it, can the minister share one or two for His Highness?" ”

Li Jiancheng rubbed his head and said, "Is Xuan Cheng familiar with the Bailan Department?" ”

"Bailan!" Wei Zheng's head turned sharply, and he asked suspiciously: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean the Tuyuhun Bailan King Department, or the Qiang Bailan Department?" ”

The Xianbei Tuguhun Department was originally a branch of the Xianbei Murong Tribe, and the eldest son of the leader of the Murong Tribe, Murong Shegui, and the founder of the Murong Tribe, Murong Diao, originally had a good relationship. Because Murong Diao was provoked, he gradually became estranged, and once he had an argument with Murong Tuguhun on the grounds that horses bit each other, and then Murong Tuguhun said that he begged to go, although Murong Diao apologized and repaired, but Murong Tuguhun thought that the suspicion had been born and was determined to go. So Murong Tuyuhun led 1,700 households to Yinshan, and since then, Murong Tuguhun's descendants have all taken Tuyuhun as their clan name. At the beginning of the fifth century A.D., Tuyuhun was a vassal to the court of the Liu Dynasty, and Liu Yu named Mu Liyan as the king of Henan, also known as the king of Bailan. However, when Tuyuhun was rising to the Turks, forced by the strength of the Turks at that time, Tuyuhun split and divided into two parts, one of which was friendly to the Turks, and the other was to abandon the name of the Tuyuhun tribe and call it Bailanbu. However, this Xianbei Bailan gradually fell silent.

However, there are thirteen Qiang Bailan and Baima Tribes, Burning Dang Tribes, Heishui Tribes, Tang Yak Tribes, Yak Tribes, Tsing Yi Tribes, Ginseng Wolf Tribes and Ran Shu Tribes. The Bailan tribe is one of them, and its ethnic group is actively adjacent to the Xianbei Tuyuhun department, also known as the Lintao Bailan tribe.

Wei Zheng's ability to distinguish between the Xianbei Bailan Department and the Xiqiang Bailan Department is enough to prove that Wei Zheng has a certain understanding of this.

Li Jiancheng said: "It's the Xiqiang Bailan Department, I just received the news a few days ago, the chief of the Bailan Department, Ke Luozi, requested to be attached, and the palace can't make up my mind!" ”

Wei Zheng asked, "Does Your Highness know that the Bailan Ministry has requested to be attached because of this?" Was it because Tuyuhun waged war against it, or because of natural disasters? ”

For the nomadic peoples of northern and northwestern China, when they could not survive, they usually chose to surrender. Anyway, all the Central Plains Dynasty needed was a nominal submission, and the affairs within the tribe, they still went their own way. Once you choose to surrender, you can openly ask the central court for money, food, and supplies. As long as they survive the difficulties, they will always pull the flag and rebel. For this routine, they tried a hundred times, but unfortunately, all dynasties and dynasties will be deceived.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Tubo is now on the rise, and wants to conquer Tuyuhun in the east, the two sides have fought several battles in the West Sea, although Tubo has won more and lost less, but Bailanbu is still not Tuyuhun's opponent, they were forcibly recruited by Tuyuhun more than 50,000 cattle and sheep......

More than 50,000 cattle and sheep are nothing for a huge tribe like the Turks. However, for a small tribe like Bailanbu, which is only more than 10,000 households and 5,000 or 6,000 young and strong, more than 50,000 cattle and sheep are almost already a big loss of vitality.

According to Li Yuan's temperament of great joy, he must have been attached to the Na Bai Lan Department, but he set up Mizhou Rail Prefecture and worshiped its leader Ke Luozi as the assassin of Rail Prefecture.

However, Li Jiancheng feels that it is not simple. Datang is in constant trouble now, especially when the Turks are still gathering in Dingxiang and not dispersing, Li Jiancheng really doesn't want to accept the Bailan Department and attract the strong enemy of Tubo. However, once the situation in the Bailan Department is extremely in need of Tang support, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to avoid it, I am afraid that in the future, it will not be so easy to subdue these remote tribes.

Although Wei Zheng could distinguish the difference between the Bailanqiang Department and the Tuyuhun Bailan Department, he really had no other good way to deal with these ethnic minority affairs.

However, Wei Zheng admonished Li Jiancheng: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if this matter is difficult to decide, why don't you ask Ji Chen's horse?" ”

"Chen Concubine? I haven't heard that Chen Ying is familiar with the affairs of the Bailanqiang Department! Li Jiancheng wondered.

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "How can Chen Yuma know about the land next to the Di clan? He also didn't know much about the Turks, but once he used Chen Juma, he would inevitably think of appropriate handling advice. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's very good!" ”

……

When Li Xiuning and Chen Ying arrived in Qinglin, it was almost noon, which was the time of the day, when the heat was the highest, because the weather was too hot, Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were not in the mood to eat, and in the indoor swimming pool of Chenjiabao, they took a cold shower, and Li Xiuning yawned for a long time.

Chen Yingke did not have such a good life as Li Xiuning, because Ma Zhou came to report to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying is satisfied with Ma Zhou's work ability. Chen Ying was not engaged in financial work in later life, and he only knew a little about the management and operation process of the banking and financial system. However, Ma Zhou was so clever that he quickly derived a completely immature concept proposed by Chen Ying into an executable plan.

Among them, Ma Zhouju has made great contributions.

In order to reward Ma Zhou, the great hero of the Chen Mansion, Chen Ying personally turned a pot of millet red dates and hawthorn porridge into ice paste as if he were playing a trick. Ma Zhou was shocked when he saw this scene.

Chen Ying enjoyed this feeling very much, using the insights of later generations to impress Ma Zhou. After all, Ma Zhou is not an ordinary person, he is the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Before Ma Zhou, the prime minister was the patent of the family gatekeeper, even again, it was from a Han family, not a cloth like Ma Zhou.

When Ma Zhou first came into contact with the money industry, he was also very puzzled why Chen Ying fixed the interest at 20% interest, you must know that at this time, the interest below 40% is almost none. Chen Ying did this, in fact, he set up countless enemies, and all the wealthy families and gate lords in the world who put money in the world will regard Chen Ying as a great disaster for life and death, after all, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.

However, Chen Ying's explanation made Ma Zhoumao pause. Chen Ying told Ma Zhou that he was not short of money, so he didn't really care about how much money the bank could make.

Chen Ying's real purpose is to master Datang's money-printing machine and let the whole country enjoy the risks brought by paper money. However, Chen Ying also knew that if the steps were big, it was easy to pull the egg. Therefore, the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step.

In ancient times, it was too difficult to master anti-counterfeiting technology, and Chen Ying did not dare to print banknotes openly, and he had become a public enemy of the world with Chen Ying's behavior of attracting loans with two percent of profits. It's just because Chen Ying's head is thick enough and the backstage is hard enough that no one dares to touch his cheese.

However, once Chen Ying prints banknotes and launches them on the market, then other wealthy families and families will definitely spare no effort to make counterfeit coins, so that Chen Ying will lose his fortune.

watched Ma Zhou carefully hold a box and gently place it in front of Chen Ying. Chen Ying opened the box and saw that this was a new paper made of fine birch wood and silk linen, which was three points thicker than ordinary rice paper, and the texture was touched, with a silky texture. Chen Ying gently stroked this kind of "banknote" with more than a dozen seals printed on it and said: "Ma Zhou, which anti-counterfeiting technology do you use?" ”

Looking at the flying money printed by engraving, although the pattern of red, yellow, green, and blue colors was adopted, Chen Ying knew that if the means of forgery were adopted, Chen Ying was completely confident that within a month, he would try to produce enough flying money banknotes to be fake.

Ma Zhou smiled: "Lord, if you take a closer look, you will definitely find clues." “

Chen Ying looked at this face value as high as 10,000 yuan, and after a long time, Chen Ying said curiously: "Heaven and earth? No, no, it's really clumsy. “
