An official, a luxury manor, if it is left in modern times, it must be a symbol of corruption in the eyes of many people, but Li Zexuan is not afraid of this kind of criticism, because every penny he earns is innocent, and he is not afraid of others to check!

Then again, isn't it just for a person to work hard to earn money for enjoyment? He spends his own money to build a manor for himself, what other opinions can others have?

In the afternoon, Song Xiaosi finally came with the news that everything was ready in the workshop, just waiting for Li Zexuan to personally go over and instruct the next task!

Li Zexuan was overjoyed, hurriedly put on his cloak, followed Song Xiaosi down Yunshan, and went straight to the workshop.

"Young Master, are you here?"

In the workshop, Fu Bo saw that Li Zexuan had finally come, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Li Zexuan smiled slightly, looked at Fu Bo, then looked at Liu Yidao, and said:

"Hmmm! Fu Bo, Master Liu, I heard that everything is ready here, you have really worked hard in the past two days! ”

The two of them didn't work hard, Liu Yidao was still a little ashamed on his face, and he only listened to him: "Master Hou, I carved this seal for nearly two days to complete, compared with the speed of the young master, my nickname of Liu Yidao seems to be a bit wasteful!" ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Master Liu, you are drilling the tip of the horns when you say this, Ben Hou is because of his martial arts, so sometimes the action will be faster than ordinary people, Master Liu, you can carve this seal within two days, it is not easy, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who can do it to your point!" ”

"Master Hou, you have won the prize!"

When Liu Yidao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he hurriedly said modestly.

"Ahem! Master, a batch of watermark paper has been made in the morning, and some of it should have been dried at this time, you can see the next ......"

Faubber coughed dryly and got down to business.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Fu Bo, follow me to take a look first!" ”

The group went to a factory to the east, where the workshop made paper.

"Young master, this is water-patterned paper, you can see if the charm meets the requirements!"

Fu Bo pointed to the blank pieces of paper hanging under an old locust tree in the courtyard and said to Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan took a few steps forward, found a piece of water-patterned paper that had been dried, took it off the shelf, and then looked at the sunlight and observed carefully, and saw that neatly arranged secret words faintly appeared on the white paper - Tang!

After spreading the water-patterned paper, those dark words disappeared again, and those who saw it for the first time may think it was more magical, but for Li Zexuan, a modern person, it was not strange, but he was quite satisfied with the quality of this paper.

"Hmmm! Not bad! Fauber, let's use the mild steel master I handed you yesterday and print it on it! The thing that presses the steel plate must be heavy, the heavier the better, otherwise it will not show the effect! ”

Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction, put down the water pattern paper in his hand, and said to Fu Bo.

"Hmmm! The old man understands what the young master means, so he will arrange it! ”

Fauber replied with a smile.

Now the printing technology in the workshop has been quite mature, and the most difficult thing about concave printing is only in the production of the engraving plate, and the real embossing process is not complicated, so Li Zexuan roughly said, Fu Bo understood what to do.

It took half an hour for Fubo to temporarily set up a concave embossing workbench, the water-patterned paper to be embossed has been fixed, and the mild steel master is also pasted on the bottom surface of a square boulder, after the master is dipped in green ink, through manual pulling, the boulder is controlled to press on the specific position of the water-patterned paper, and after the ink in the master's groove is dry, pull up the boulder, and the first side of the water-patterned paper will be embossed.

As concocted, the second side was quickly printed, and the tailor in his own workshop stepped forward to carefully cut off the printed banknote, and then handed it to Li Zexuan.

"1 Tang Yuan! Datang Yan Huang Qian Zhuang! ”

After seeing the well-printed Tang Yuan banknote in his hand, which had an obvious concave and convex feeling, Li Zexuan's heart suddenly burst with a sense of accomplishment, this is the first edition of the Tang Dynasty banknote, and it is also the first edition of the banknote in Chinese history!

This can really go down in history!

The color of Tang Yuan, the main body is green, the pattern on it is very dense, the lower left corner is written "1 Tang Yuan", and the top of the back is written "Tang Yan Huang Qian Zhuang", a Tang Yuan banknote, as a whole is a bit similar to the modern new version of one Yuan Yuan, but there is no head on it, it looks much simpler.

"Young master, I forgot to ask before, what does Tang Yuan mean by what is written on it? Also What is Datang Yanhuang Qianzhuang? ”

Fu Bo also felt that the banknote in Li Zexuan's hand was quite exquisite, but he had some doubts about the words on the banknote.

Li Zexuan's face was pale, he retreated, and said in a deep voice: "Fu Bo, Master Liu, come here, I have something important to tell you!" ”

The matter of paper money is not trivial, and the workshop must make comprehensive arrangements.

……………………………

Inside Fauber's "office".

Li Zexuan told Fu Bo and Master Liu about the paper money in Yanhuang Academy.

These two people have been obsessed with technology all their lives, and they are not good at economics, so they did not comment on Li Zexuan's behavior.

"Young master, although it will indeed be much more convenient to replace copper coins with paper money in the academy, but our workshop must be strictly controlled, otherwise if someone with a heart steals the master or made banknotes, it will be a big loss for the young master!"

Having personally experienced the manufacture and printing of banknotes, Fauber knew very well that it was a fantasy for others to imitate banknotes, and he was worried that there would be people in the workshop who "saw the money".

Li Zexuan nodded and said:

"Fauber, that's what I'm telling you! Recently, Fubo, you will organize a group of trustworthy people as soon as possible to set up a separate group to print Tang Yuan for me. The master of Tang Yuan is kept by you personally, and the seal engraved by Master Liu is kept by me. In the future, every batch of Tang Yuan printed will have to be rubbed with a number, and Fubo will review it regularly to prevent someone from stealing it secretly! ”

Fu Bo agreed with deep understanding: "Young Master, this method is clever, in this way, it can prevent a lot of Tang Yuan from being stolen!" ”

"Master Liu, Fu Bo usually has a lot of affairs, this group that prints Tang Yuan, you will always take care of it more in the future!"

Li Zexuan said to Liu Yidao again, this person has been in the workshop for nearly a year, and he can be regarded as an old man, and there is no doubt about his loyalty.

"Good! The old man will! ”

Liu Yidao replied with a smile.

Li Zexuan nodded, chatted with the two of them for a few more words, and then took the world's first Tang Yuan, left the workshop, and headed towards Yunshan.
