Chapter 383

In He-Man's workshop, Cheng Dalei used tweezers to pick up a piece of cyan paper from the potion.

"What is this paper made of?"

"It is a kind of aquatic plant in the big river to make a will, and soaked in a special potion. Seaman said, "This will not fade for a long time." ”

"Can others imitate it?" asked Cheng Dalei.

"Come and see, big boss. ”

He-Man picked up a piece of air-dried paper and shone it at the sun, and the original blue paper showed a colorful color, as brilliant as a rainbow. Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up, and the paper showed this characteristic, which he had never seen or heard before.

"Is the cost high?" Cheng Dalei.

"It is prepared with the sap of several plants. Raw materials are available locally, so they can be sourced locally. And the pigment formula is unique to us. ”

Cheng Dalei nodded, and it was indeed a correct decision to hand over the matter to Seaman. It was less than three days before they came up with a workable plan. Of course, the manufacture of paper is a copycat technology, but the pigments are taken out by Seaman and Thor.

Kane led Cheng Dalei to the other side, this is a few versions of the sample banknote that have been made, but the final style is still up to Cheng Dalei to decide.

There are seven editions in total, including large and small denominations, but the patterns are similar, there are flying toads, there are moon-swallowing toads, and there are water toads...... This pattern is Cheng Dalei's idea, painted by the adventurer Nishizawa, not freehand, only realistic, vivid.

Cheng Dalei instantly fell into the sea of toads, he set a set of patterns of moon-swallowing toads, and said: "That's it, it's almost the same anyway, take it down and print it." ”

Soon, the money village in Qinchuan Pass was officially opened. Anyone can deposit gold, silver and copper coins in the bank, exchange them for paper money, and withdraw them at any time.

Including the silver of the cottage brothers, the commodity transactions in the cottage are replaced by paper money.

Outcome......

It was exactly as He Shen expected, almost useless.

Civilians are still accustomed to holding silver in their own hands, not to mention that they do not have much savings in their hands, and in their cognition, it is difficult to understand that a piece of paper can replace real money.

Cheng Dalei can naturally use paper money instead of gold and silver, but now Qinchuan Pass is the time to set up the archway, and the cow does not drink water and presses his head, and in the end it can only backfire.

Because of this setback, Cheng Dalei was a little lost, and sighed all day long, now he is almost the same as Liu Bei, and he probably needs to be saved by the gods.

He Shen also came over to comfort Cheng Dalei and said something: Things are not in a hurry, and they will always think of a way slowly. Everyone's life is good now, isn't it? It's really not possible, it's okay to mint some copper coins first.

These words did not bring comfort to Cheng Dalei, but stimulated him fiercely. Looking at the room full of cyan banknotes, Cheng Dalei sighed helplessly, it was really hard to wipe his buttocks.

He Shen couldn't understand Cheng Dalei, the current Qinchuan Pass is indeed a strong man, and it is already a force in the northwest that should not be underestimated. But that's about it. If you want to settle down in this troubled world, these are far from enough at present, so Cheng Dalei hopes to open the first-level city.

However, everything has its own internal laws, and some things that are ahead of their time may not be suitable for this era. After this incident, Cheng Dalei can be regarded as a lesson.

......

Time flies, and it is the autumn of this year, and it is only the third year that Cheng Dalei has been in the northwest.

Today's Cheng Dalei has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, 800 miles of Qinchuan land, and 50,000 or 60,000 homeless people living and working in peace and contentment. The caravans are going back and forth, everything is in order, and Cheng Dalei can be regarded as a shopkeeper.

It's just that Cheng Dalei has not yet risen to the first-class city, and the main reason is the lack of population.

On this day, the autumn was crisp, and Cheng Dalei was bored basking in the sun under the eaves. I was thinking about how to issue banknotes. If this matter is not resolved, it will always be Cheng Dalei's heart knot, which makes him unable to feel at ease.

"Big boss. He Shen came over today: "A group of people are coming to you." ”

"You leave it to Liu Bei and see what arrangements he makes, don't bother me with such a trivial matter. Cheng Dalei picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, now that the cottage is on the right track, he doesn't need to deal with these things.

"If it were an ordinary person, it would naturally not bother the big boss, but this group of people said that they knew the big boss. ”

"It's me who I know, who could it be?" Cheng Dalei was a little curious, anyway, he happened to be fine today, he stood up and said, "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Before I walked in, I heard a commotion in the cottage square.

"You don't know what our relationship with the boss is!"

"If you dare to be rude to us again, be careful that we turn our faces. ”

"If it weren't for the boss's face, you would think that with a few of you, you would be able to control us. ”

Cheng Dalei followed the sound and approached, and when he saw these people clearly, he was suddenly startled.

There were a lot of people, about hundreds, all of them in rags, like beggars begging by the roadside. The key is that each of these people is still poor and impoverished, with teeth and claws, hideous and vicious.

Seeing Cheng Dalei appear, hundreds of people got up at the same time and shouted at the same time.

"Big brother!"

He Shen was also taken aback, these "beggars" really knew Cheng Dalei.

Flying toad Bai Yuanfei, Ah Xi, Ah Bei...... Indeed, they are all brothers that Cheng Dalei made friends when he was in Chang'an City. They came to find Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei was not surprised, but they were so down, Cheng Dalei really couldn't believe it.

"You ...... How did it become like this?" Cheng Dalei asked in a lost voice.

Seeing the boss like this, he dragged it up again. ”

"The boss is worthy of being the boss, and everywhere he goes, he eats and drinks alone. ”

"As I said, it's always right to come to the boss. ”

"Alright, alright. Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Don't say anything about sycophants, how did you come here, I remember that I left you a lot of silver." ”

Cheng Dalei swept his gaze, although there was a gap of three years, everyone's appearance was still so familiar. His expression was suddenly stunned, and he said: "There are fewer people, broken down in Duda, bald Ah Jiu...... Why don't these people come. ”

At that time, Cheng Dalei was in Chang'an City, and he also had a brother, and later he wanted to come to the northwest, and some people dragged their families with them, and it was inconvenient to follow Cheng Dalei, so these people stayed in Chang'an City.

When we meet again today, we see a lot of old friends from the past, but there are also many people missing. If you want to come, it should be together, why only more than a hundred people came.

Cheng Dalei asked in a word, the chaotic crowd quieted down, and everyone's eyes flashed, as if they were hiding from something.

"Boss, something happened in Chang'an City. "His.
