Yuejing City, Imperial Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The heavy snow has already covered the entire Yuejing, the north wind is howling, and the weather can almost be said to be dripping into ice, but for Su Can, today is a memorable day, months of hard work, today, he is responsible for the issuance of the new currency of the Ming Dynasty, everything has been prepared, just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to sign the final order.

For a few months, he almost never returned home, and stayed in the original household department that covers an area of nearly 100 acres of the big yamen, that piece of official office, from the outside can not see anything, but the inside has undergone great changes, and the careful people of Yuejing also found that the vigilance there is becoming stricter day by day, and now there, a whole city gate army of 1,000 people has been stationed.

The lot occupied by the household yamen is very good in Yuejing, and the people who live around it are all people who are either rich or noble, but after entering the winter, the residents close to here have moved one after another, not because they want to move, but because the court ordered them to move. The court allocated them land and money as compensation, and then all these dwellings were demolished and rows of military camps were built instead, and the 1,000 city gate troops were stationed here.

Until now, ordinary people still don't know what this yamen with the Ming Imperial Bank is doing, but just look at this pomp, it's amazing. Yuejing City is the capital, not to mention that there are many kinds of yamen, it is also a big handful, but I have not seen other yamen have this kind of protection, which can almost be compared to the palace.

Su Can went home last night, took a big bath comfortably, climbed into bed and slept like a dead pig, but his daughter-in-law was distressed to death.

Su Kairong was as worried as ever, sighing for a long time, but now it is no longer a matter of having to send an arrow on the string, but the arrow has been shot, and there is no turning back when he opens the bow, and his son Su Can will either soar into the sky, or die halfway, leaving a stench for 10,000 years.

The sample of the new currency to be issued has been fully produced, and it will be officially printed on a large scale after it is presented to the emperor, but fortunately, after he repeatedly asked the first assistant Quan Yun to say that it was powerful, Quan Yun came forward to persuade the emperor, which changed the original more radical policy to a three-year buffer period. The strategy of gradually completing the delisting of metal currencies over three years and replacing them with new currencies. This at least gave his son a chance to turn back, once something was bad and something went wrong, Su Can would have much less responsibility.

Shoufu Quan Yun, Su Kairong of the Household Department, Su Can of the Ming Imperial Bank, and Wang Yueyao of the Commercial Department were walking in the direction of Chaoyang Tower at the moment, and Su Can, who was wrapped in fur all over his body, was extremely excited, and held the box in his hand tightly in his arms like a rare treasure. In the box, it is a new type of banknote that has been developed by the Ming Imperial Bank for half a year.

Stepping into Chaoyang Tower, a warm breath came to the face, Da Qiu suddenly couldn't wear it, the ground in the entire building was installed with a ground dragon, warm as spring, entering the Chaoyang Building, and the outside is completely two worlds.

"Your Majesty, my Majesty is waiting." Father-in-law Le's waist was bent very low, and these people in front of him were all important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was the deputy head of the Great Interior, he had to be careful to accompany the smiling face.

And for this deputy chief, Quan Yun and the others naturally will not shake their faces to show others, Yinggu, the nominal chief manager, does not work, almost all the affairs in the palace are in charge of this father-in-law, it seems that the former Grand Duke of Yue is now more and more trusted in front of the emperor, no matter what major affairs, the emperor does not avoid him. Every time I talked to the emperor, he always served in front of him.

"There is a prisoner!" Quan Yun smiled and nodded.

"Meet Your Majesty." Several people bent down and bowed to Qin Feng after the big case.

"That's it, I got up early today, but I'm just waiting for you." Qin Feng smiled, looked at the few people in front of him, and finally fixed his eyes on Su Can's body, and said in surprise: "Lost so much weight?" It seems that I am really worried to the extreme, and I have worked hard! ”

Su Can was immediately very relieved by the hard work, his heart was more comfortable than eating ginseng fruit, he straightened up, and said with a smile: "In the past, the one in the house always thought I was fat, but the minister just couldn't lose weight, and he was always disliked. ”

Speaking like this in front of the emperor seemed a little frivolous, Quan Yun frowned, Su Kairong grinned, what is his daughter-in-law happy, obviously her daughter-in-law was so distressed that she cried last night. On the other hand, Wang Yueyao pursed her lips and smiled.

Qin Feng laughed happily, although Su Can had lost a lot of weight, but now his physique is much stronger than ordinary people, and he is really not as light as a swallow.

Looking at the box in Su Can's hand, Qin Feng asked, "Is this what it is?" ”

"Yes!" Su Can stepped forward, opened the first compartment of the box, and gently pulled out a board fixed inside: "Your Majesty, the new currency of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two grades, one is measured in Wen, and it is divided into four grades, namely one Wen, Five Wen, Ten Wen and Baiwen. ”

What fell in Qin Feng's eyes were four banknotes of different colors, different patterns, and different sizes.

Stretched out his hand and pulled out the highest value of the Baiwen banknote, but his eyes showed a look of surprise, this paper in his hand, very different from ordinary paper, flexible, smooth, hand shaking, there was a slight noise. The drawings on the paper are extremely exquisite, and I am afraid that they are from the hands of that master.

"How is this made?" He looked at Su Can with some confusion.

Speaking of this, Su Can was very proud.

"Your Majesty, in the past, the silver tickets of various money banks, because the circulation was not large, and the value of each one was quite large, so they were generally made manually, using various code words to distinguish the authenticity, but for the imperial court, this is not applicable, because our circulation is too large, if we do this, even if we are tired to death, we can't do it, so our first priority is to prevent counterfeiting."

"This paper for making money was ordered by Shousuke and made by the most experienced master from the imperial workshop that specialized in making sheets for the imperial court, and the process is complex and extremely difficult to imitate outside."

Qin Feng nodded.

"Of course, this is only the first step, the second step is the color. Different currency values, the color is different, and the color of the ingredients, is the second step in the anti-counterfeiting, the ingredients are slightly different, the color will be different. ”

"After these two steps, it will be extremely difficult for ordinary people to imitate." Qin Feng was very satisfied, took this banknote worth 100 wen, looked at the light, and suddenly shouted, "There are a few words on it that will actually change color." ”

Su Can was triumphant, "Your Majesty's eyes are really keen, if the previous ones were unattainable in terms of craftsmanship, and this is even more difficult." This is thanks to Master Shu of the Imperial Medical Department, Lord Shu often practices some pills, and finds that some things can be extracted from some ores and materials, Lord Shu once gave Lord Wang a gadget, and the minister inadvertently saw this thing, and it was also a flash of inspiration at that time, so he thought of this, and then asked Lord Shu and got this formula, of course, the craftsman under the command of the minister, and added some materials to this recipe. ”

Su Can said as he said and looked at Wang Yueyao with a smile. Qin Feng is also a smile, the magic of love is extremely powerful, Shu Chang is the guy who is inspired by the love thing, facial masks, perfumes, which are still priceless and surprisingly profitable industries in the market, all come from the products that this guy wants to flatter Wang Yueyao.

"It seems that you have to give a credit to Crazy Shu, Yueyao, don't you say?" Qin Feng looked at Wang Yueyao with a smile, now whether it is Qin Feng or Wang Hou, everyone is trying to find a way to promote the matter between Shu Chang and Wang Yueyao, of course, Qin Feng can also directly order marriage, but Wang Yueyao is different from ordinary women, she is a very important official above the Ming Dynasty, she can be called the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Feng does not want to force him. And Shu Chang didn't agree, for him, such a marriage was tantamount to a twisted melon, and he was arrogant and didn't want it at all.

"This kind of pigment that can change the color of characters is not easy to refine, so it is only used in banknotes above 100 cents and in units of taels." Su Can pulled out another board in the box and put it in front of Qin Feng.

One tael, five taels, ten taels, one hundred taels, corresponding to the text, the banknotes in two units are also four, the paper is the same, but the color, the pattern is different, especially the pattern of one hundred taels, it is actually based on the background of Chaoyang Building.

"The minister originally wanted to print the portrait of His Majesty, but Shoufu said that this banknote will be touched by thousands of people in the future, which is very disrespectful to His Majesty, so it was finally decided to use this Chaoyang Tower as the background." Su Can said.

"Yes, yes." Touching the rattling banknotes, Qin Feng was very satisfied. When you pick them up and look at them in the light, you can see that the color changes differently for each currency.

"The last measure of anti-counterfeiting is to put a film on this banknote, of course, this is also to prevent the banknote from breaking." Su Can said: "This is also inspired by Lord Shu, the mask he invented has a kind of thin as wings, and it is transparent, the minister thought, if we put this kind of film on our banknotes, then it can not only prevent counterfeiting, but also protect him to be used longer, it must be paper money, it will be used for a long time, there will be damage, so that this method can make the use of time be extended, after all, the cost of making such a banknote is not low, it can be used for a long time, and it is also a large expense. ”

"It's Shu Maniac again, it seems that Master Su has to invite Shu Maniac to drink a drink when he turns around." Qin Feng laughed.
