Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight bank notes (2)
The next day, Changsun Chong went to the paper workshop at home and told Uncle Hua to help him make paper according to his requirements. As for the preparation of the medicine, Changsun Chong did not dare to do anything to others, worried about the loss in the future.
Before it is confirmed, if someone is beaten, Li Er will be the first to suspect him. At that time, not only will he not be able to make any contribution, but he will also be flirting with a slut!
"Young master, this kind of paper does not absorb water. It takes a long time to write and paint on it. What do you want this paper to do? Is it window paper?" Changsun Hua asked in confusion. He was responsible for paper workshops. Now he has three paper workshops at home. Customers are like clouds and everything is on track. He is used to seeing all kinds of papers, and he is very puzzled by the high cost of this kind of "window paper".
Changsun Chong did not tell him the truth and replied: "This is not originally used for writing and painting. As for the use, you will know it soon. You should be more careful in making paper technology and never learn it."
"Don't worry, young master, this paper was made by the master in our workshop. The eight people in their family sold themselves to our Changsun family and dared not ** ours." Changsun Hua promised that the core technology of paper was still in the hands of his own people. Not only did they, Changsun Jia, do this, but other families do this.
Changsun Chong thought that even if he could make paper, he could not make silver notes without his special ink, so he said with confidence: "Well, it's not bad, okay! By the way, I asked you to make the carved plate for me now?"
"It's been prepared long ago. Master will take it away together this time?" Changsun Hua asked, and asked someone to carry the box in.
"Well, put it on me!"
Changsun Chong bought all the pigments and materials, so he went home and arranged ink.
After a day of hard work, I finally developed two kinds of inks. One is blue ink and the other is colorless ink. First, use five-color ink to print it on the special paper, then use another carved plate to paint the blue ink on the paper just now. A silver note of 10,000 taels will be printed, with a blue letter on the white background and a beautiful plum blossom in the middle. There is a lace made of plum blossoms around it. There is 10,000 taels below. There is a blank space in the lower right corner. One is used to stamp the general seal of the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House, and the specific seal of the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House should be stamped next to it. If you go to the bank to exchange silver, you must have a stamp of the specific money house on the back, so there are small squares behind the bank note.
Liu Muxiang held it in her hand and frowned. The silver notes made by her husband exhausted his mind were like this. It was very ordinary. He asked, "My husband, except for the strong paper, I can't see anything special!"
"Then you pick it up and look at the changes without knowing the angle, and you will know where the secret is." Changsun smiled proudly. Without diamonds, he would not take on porcelain work. With this special watermark, I believe no one in the world can imitate it.
Willow Muxiang changed from different angles to see it, and said in surprise: "Ah! Oh my God, there are definitely white transparent characters and patterns." After changing to another angle, I couldn't see it.
"My husband, what's going on?" Liu Muxiang asked excitedly. How could the world write such words? "Is it a problem with ink?"
"I saw it. Under normal circumstances, I can't see the white characters at all, but when you put them flat, you can see them. This is called a watermark. With this, do you think there are still people who can imitate it?" Changsun Chong asked proudly, believing that only Changsun Chong could make it out in the entire Tang Dynasty.
The watermark in Changsun Chong's mouth is different from the modern ones, but when Changsun Chong thought of a good name, he learned from it and used it.
Changsun Chong made six silver notes with various denominations in succession. After they were exhausted, he took them to Changsun Wuji's study and prepared to tell his father.
Changsun Wuji saw the strange painting handed over by Changsun, which read fifty-two-legged silver, and asked, "Is this the silver bill?"
Changsun nodded: "Yes, this is a silver note!"
Changsun Wuji knew that his son would never make something that looked very simple on the surface. He first dunked a little water on his hand and put it on the blue position. He found that it did not fade or dizzy. He was careful and picked it up again. He looked at it in a different angle and saw that there was a kind of white bamboo on it, exactly the same as the blue bamboo. He was completely relieved.
Even though he is knowledgeable and has never seen anything like this. As long as the transparent font can be maintained forever, no one can imitate and fake it.
"Chong'er, is the secret of the anti-counterfeiting of this silver note lies in the white invisible characters and patterns?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"Yes, father, that's it." Changsun Chong pointed to various places and introduced, "Father, you see that the silver bills are beautiful, with flowers and words. All the silver bills must be stamped with the seal of the headquarters of the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House and issued by the general money house located in Chang'an, so that we can easily know how many silver bills we issue every month and every year. A seal next to it is the seals of each money house. Only two seals are stamped, and only when you receive silver with the same face value as the silver bill can you be truly issued and become valuable silver bills."
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful, and your Majesty will definitely be more satisfied. By the way, what is the function of this small grid on the back?"
"The people use silver to exchange silver notes, and then use silver notes to exchange silver elsewhere. They must stamp the silver exchange stamps in line from left to right to prove that the bill is valuable and leave a record. Next time someone will exchange money for silver notes, this bill can continue to be used and needs endorsement. If the space behind it is used up, the bill will be invalidated even if the mission is completed."
"Okay, okay, so we can track the places where these money go according to the time, place and person exchanged each time. If someone commits a crime with this, some evidence can be found." Changsun Wuji is indeed an old fox, and has already seen the essence through the phenomenon and obtained some financial information.
Changsun applauded and said, "Father, you react so quickly! I haven't thought there was any effect on this aspect."
Changsun Wuji was proud and looked at him admiringly by his son. His confidence was satisfied and said, "You have to learn a lot. You can read more in the future. Since you have done it, I will go to court with me tomorrow!"
"Dad, Your Majesty said, I will go to the court once every five days!" Changsun Chong was unhappy and his mind was in trouble, so he took the initiative to go to the court, and there was no big deal.
Changsun Wuji stood up suddenly, slapped the table and said, "How many people want to go to court, but they are not qualified yet. You are still picky and you are really ungrateful."
"Dad, our family really doesn't need to be competitive anymore. Going forward will be the emperor. Are you not afraid of being taboos?" Changsun Chong persuaded and explained that his father had great power. Although he did not have the intention to rebel against Li Er, he had to be careful of the negative impact caused by the power of the Changsun family!
Changsun Wuji sat decadently on the chair, and said, "You are right. Our Changsun family should be hiding its strength and not showing its sharpness."
"Actually, even if you are powerful, you don't have military power, so Your Majesty will not do anything to us. Some people will harm their interests because of my achievements over the past two years and will find ways to deal with our family." Changsun Chong comforted his father, hoping that he would not get stubborn.
"Yes, it's not too late for three years for scholars to rebel. I don't think I have this ability or courage, so what are I afraid of? Now the military power is in the hands of Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong, Li Daozong and others. I don't have the military power, and I don't have any threat to Your Majesty at all." Changsun Wuji figured it out, and the pressure in his heart was much less for a short time...
"That's right, whether in the court or outside, we should be low-key. I have made so many contributions, and one day there will be times when there is no way to seal it, and then I will know that I will be beheaded, so I'm a bastard, and Your Majesty can rest assured. No, power, etc. are given by Your Majesty. As long as we are responsible, Your Majesty will never treat us badly. Why care about the form!" Changsun Chong winked and persuaded him, and made a roundabout way. The purpose was to not go to court. I really didn't get used to it!
Changsun Wuji was really moved: "Okay, it's better if you don't go to court, I won't care about you anymore."
"Dad, you are so good. By the way, how do you maintain your massager? Is it comfortable?" Changsun sent a gift as soon as he rushed home. Although it was small, it was of great use.
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he laughed and said, "That thing is really easy to use and it is very comfortable to use. I carry it with you every day. If you are tired, you can use it at will, which is very convenient."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and let Changsun get closer.
"What's the matter, dad?" Changsun Chong was curious, not knowing why his father was mysterious.
"The massager you gave to Your Majesty was given to Your Majesty by Your Majesty. It is rare that Your Majesty said to Your Majesty for half an hour with a kind look, and also gave him rewards on Your Majesty's birthday. It can be seen that the relationship between the Master has eased a little. There are such similar things in the future, don't forget to prepare more for Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji reminded that this was what Your Majesty said to him in person today. Nothing makes Your Majesty happy than his father's recognition.
When Changsun Chong heard this, he suddenly realized and said, "So that's it!"
"Boy, you're doing this smart!" Changsun Wuji was very pleased. He knew that he had flattered, and he even slapped so well.
"Thank you, my father, for your praise. It should be fine to see the silver notes make this shadow?" Changsun Chong asked.
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Although it is a bit rough, it's not bad. It's just right for His Majesty to use it to improve it himself, so that his Majesty's wisdom can be shown."
