What rice? Diptych? Isn't the cost of the lottery going to be doubled? Do you still need to archive every day? Feudal official? And the cost? Yang Gengai found that his lottery may not be able to play. This requires the government to operate, and the efficiency will definitely not go up. The key is that there is a need for a double single, and every time it is archived, Yang feels that this is a huge task. How many people do you need?

There is also the modern transportation is underdeveloped,It is impossible to network the whole country,At most, it can only be a city,Or sell lottery tickets around the city,Then you need a lot of sets of lottery teams,Almost a set of big cities,This manpower,It's too much. And they sell their own lottery tickets, and it is too difficult to prevent them from joining forces to conspire and cheat. This is a natural place for corruption! Will the lottery still sell like that? Yang Gai calculated the account in his heart, and felt that this two-color ball might not be able to play anymore. Even if you can get the "typewriter" that arranges the lottery numbers, you can't play it.

There are too many links, the road is too far, and there is no supervision, except for corruption [***] and cheating, there is no other possibility.

Yang reformed after thinking for a long time, and finally decided to give up this two-color ball, this kind of thing is only suitable for the 21st century, with a developed transportation and communication system, it can only be afforded, and now, it is absolutely impossible, and it can only be teased by the courtiers in the court. Thinking of this, I was bored for a while.

……

After a period of silence, Yang Reform felt that he still had to say something, and encouraged them, especially the person named Ah Wu, who was quite thoughtful and shrewd, was a talent, should he cultivate and cultivate himself, or should he specialize in making treasure money? Maybe he will have to get paper money in the future, and he will have to contribute.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform said: "Well, Ah Wu, I ask you, what do you think of the treasure banknote?" ”

Ah Wu is inexplicable, he was still talking about the lottery just now, why is he talking about treasure money now? But he didn't hesitate, thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the grass people for their innocence, and the grass people dare to say it." "Ah Wu is also ready to let go, either by the emperor and reused, or by someone else. This commented on the quality of the treasure money in front of the emperor, and there were many people who were not used to it.

"Okay, you can say it."

"Your Majesty, there are too many treasure banknotes...... Except for the government's forcible use, the common people don't use him, and the production is rough, and it is still in use after years of use, the handwriting is blurred and illegible, and a consistent treasure banknote can be exchanged for one or two hundred dollars at most......"

"Are there any anti-counterfeiting measures for the treasure banknotes?"

"Your Majesty, there are numbers on the treasure banknotes, and the treasure notes that have been recovered are arranged according to the number, and then they are arranged in a bundle, and then cut off in half, and look for the number with the same number in these treasure notes, if there is, it is fake. You can find out the source, the source. ”

"Is there anything else that can be done?" Yang Gai felt that this was too simple, our later money, the anti-counterfeiting measures n, what watermarks, what pleated collars, ultraviolet light, metal wires, etc., were still made vividly, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Can you use a set of numbers to prevent counterfeiting? Yang reformed with serious doubts.

"Your Majesty, every treasure banknote is printed: the forger will be beheaded, and the arrester will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the prisoner's property will still be ......."

Ah Wu's answer made Yang Reform feel a little interesting, what is this talking about? That is to say, the person who reports the counterfeiting of treasure money, the reward is at least 250 taels, and then the forger's family property is returned, this guy, interesting, is really a heavy reward! Two hundred and fifty taels, you can make a windfall, and you can almost make a person jump to the small landlord class. Quite tempting, not counting the counterfeiter's property. This is much more powerful than such and such anti-counterfeiting measures.

"Has anyone ever forged a treasure banknote?" Mr. Yang wondered if anyone had done so. Curious. With the current primitive anti-counterfeiting measures, Yang Gai felt that as long as he had an ordinary printing press in later generations, he could spend money on a super-large scale. Isn't that pretty cool?

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to say ......"

"It doesn't matter, I forgive you without sin, just say ......"

"Your Majesty, the grass people really don't dare to say it...... "Ah Wu also withered this time, crying and begging for mercy, this thing really can't be said!

Yang Reform felt strange, and he didn't dare to say that he was not guilty of forgiving you? What's the big deal, since you don't want to say it, then forget it, I'll ask Master Sun, he is a living dictionary, you should know something.

……

Everything is clear, and the two-color ball can't be played for the time being. Yang's reform plan failed, and the "painkiller" did not succeed, which was very annoying, but I finally found a talent, a talent who made treasure money, and it may be useful to make paper money by myself in the future.

Yang Reform is ready to fulfill his promise, give some rewards to this group of people, and for that Ah Wu, he will cultivate it, and he has some ability.

"Stand down, and each of you will receive two taels of silver, which is your hard work. By the way, that Ah Wu, reward twenty taels ......"

As soon as Yang Reform's words fell, the people below knelt on the ground and shouted long live, today is the magpie calling the door, come to the palace for a tour, see the world not to say, but also see the emperor, you can brag to others when you go home in the future, we have the capital! Have you ever met the emperor? No? Well, I've seen it, and he gave me two taels of silver. That's the cost of bragging.

A group of people were triumphant and beaming. It's that the one named Ah Wu is not very happy, I thought that I could do things for the emperor, get an official and a half position or something, and get out of the sea of suffering, and I don't have to do anything "craftsman", but I didn't expect things to go on, don't do it, although I got twenty taels of silver, a lot of money, but it was far from what I expected.

"Well, add another hundred taels of silver to Ah Wu...... Ah Wu! This, after you go back, use this money to study the anti-counterfeiting of lottery tickets, such as special inks! Paper! Secret remember to have a few more sets or something,In this way,To avoid the lottery in the future being faked,Although I don't do lottery now,But maybe I will do it again that day.,So,After you go back,You have to work hard to study this thing.,Understand? ”

Yang Reform said a lot of wordy, on the surface it is talking about the lottery, in fact, it is talking about "money". Special ink, paper, secret marking, anti-counterfeiting, isn't this the money now? Yang reform found that he couldn't sell lottery tickets, but found a talent who made paper money, so he decided to fund him to study the manufacturing method of paper money, anyway, it didn't cost much, and the right was a "venture capital".

"The grass people obeyed. The grass people thank His Majesty for his appreciation...... "Ah Wu immediately knelt on the ground, thanked him loudly, and was very excited, he got such a good errand today, it was a salted fish of ten thousand years turned over!" Hahaha...... Huang Yanjing remembered me, and now it is developed.

"Well, this, no ......, you have to remember, pay attention to confidentiality, what has been researched, no one else has the right to know except you, understand?" Yang reformed the politeness of the 21st century, and was about to say "no thanks" to Ah Wu, but when the words came to his lips, he became a secret again.

"Your Majesty, the grass people must keep it in mind and live up to Your Majesty's expectations......" Ah Wu was so happy that he died. Secrecy shows that this thing is important, doesn't that mean that one day in the future, it will be the emperor's confidant? The Emperor's henchman, my mother! Tomorrow, hurry back to see if the ancestral grave is smoking.

"Alright, Mate, let them all go back." Yang Reform was tired and was ready to take a break and go to Sun Chengzong.

……

Everyone left, no one bothered Yang Reform, the emperor, Yang Reform lay in bed alone, in broad daylight, he couldn't sleep, and he thought that he didn't make a two-color ball, but he got a coinage talent, which can be regarded as a bit of a gain.

Yang Gengai seems to remember that paper money existed in the West in the 17th century, that is, there are now "paper money" in the West that are the same as "modern" coins. In other words, he is now studying paper money, and there are basically no "technical" problems, thinking of this, Yang Reform feels much more comfortable.

Well, sleep for a while, and go to Master Sun's after getting up, Yang Gengai thought secretly.;
