Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, although the paper and printing technology invented by His Royal Highness King Qi are very clever, the role of paper money is too great, and the minister suggests that it is better to be cautious."

Don't dare to say anything else, Chen believes that there are still two risks here. First, the banknote printing paper production technology invented by His Royal Highness King Qi is no longer the only one who has mastered it, and many people in the paper mill should have mastered this technology. Since more than one person has mastered this technology, there is a risk that this technology will leak out.

Therefore, it is possible that others will also master this technology. There is a good chance that these people are people with bad intentions, or people from other countries.

In the past few years, His Royal Highness King Qi has invented a lot of technologies, many of which have been spread, such as the technology of making ice, which has been mastered by many people now, and the son of the minister can make ice cream at home.

Not long ago, the Japanese slave country captured many craftsmen of our dynasty, and many of the techniques they mastered have been passed down to the Japanese slave country.

If the craftsman who has mastered the technology of printing banknote paper leaks this technology due to coercion or other unexpected reasons, then the security of banknotes will be threatened.

Secondly, in case there is a leak of the manufacturing technology of banknote printing paper, and the private or enemy country has mastered the technology of manufacturing banknote printing paper, then the anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes is required to be more sophisticated, so that others cannot imitate it.

Chen just looked at the banknotes, although the printing technology and the anti-counterfeiting technology on it has been superb, but there are many folk masters, the anti-counterfeiting technology of these banknotes, may not be able to be imitated by others.

The minister didn't dare to say big things, that is, the seals and patterns on it, although the level of the minister was not high, but it was not very difficult to imitate it. ”

Wei Zheng also has a big hobby, which is to carve seals, he is not only skilled in this area, because he exchanges the skills of carving seals with others, but also knows many masters. Therefore, he felt that the anti-counterfeiting technology of the banknotes had the possibility of being counterfeited.

Coins are wealth, and the temptation for those who are greedy is great, just like Kaiyuan Tongbao, the household minted Kaiyuan Tongbao, and some people imitated it. If the imperial court issued paper money, there must be people who would use their brains in this regard. If there is a problem because of the paper money itself, the trauma to the whole society will be very great.

And because of the cost of the banknote itself, it will cause greater harm to the society than the imitation of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Hearing that what Wei Zheng said made sense, Li Shimin hesitated.

"Fang Xuanling is good at strategy, and his brain turns quickly. He said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Wei said is reasonable, and the minister suggested that on the one hand, the printing and anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes should be further strengthened. On the one hand, take out some semi-finished products and let more people test them within a certain range to ensure the safety of banknotes. ”

This is the first time that Li You has encountered such a big question in what he has done.

Gao Jingming regarded Li You as the God of Wealth, and he didn't want to discourage Li You's enthusiasm. He rounded up and said: "For thousands of years, metal money has been used, and the days have passed, and the issuance of paper money is not in a hurry in this day or two. Since what Master Wei said makes sense, it would be better to be more cautious. ”

Everyone looked at Li Li You to see what he said. Although Li You thinks that Wei Zheng's doubts are a bit redundant, because the process of manufacturing banknote printing paper is not one, but many processes, and no craftsman can master them all. From this point of view, the security of banknote printing paper is basically guaranteed.

However, Wei Zheng is right, the role of money in society is too important, and there is no harm in being cautious.

So, he said: "Father, the son thinks that Lord Wei is reasonable. Then, according to the opinion of Lord Wei, take out some semi-finished products to the market, and test them first, on the one hand, to see the acceptance of customers, and on the other hand, to test the anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes. ”

Li Shimin said: "Well, since this is the case, the issuance of banknotes is not in a hurry in these days. The technology of manufacturing banknote printing paper must be kept strictly confidential, and the technology of anti-counterfeiting must be continuously strengthened. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and your ministers obey your orders." Everyone said together.

Leaving the Liangyi Palace, Wei Zheng specially waited for Li You and walked out with him, he said: "Your Highness, the minister has questioned the banknotes, you don't have any ideas, right?" ”

Li You said, "Master Wei, I know that you are thinking about me. It's too big, and if something goes wrong, it's a big deal. I understand your intentions. ”

Wei Zheng really loves Li You, Li You has solved too many problems for the imperial court over the years, but all the previous problems add up to not as big as the matter in front of him. In case something goes wrong, all Li You's previous credits will be useless, and he is likely to completely ruin his future because of this incident.

Wei Zheng said: "According to the minister's understanding, there are many masters among the people, and their imitation skills are very superb. ”

Whether ancient or modern, there are not only people who are driven by profit, who imitate for profit, but also some people who hack other people's technology just for interest. For example, hackers hack into other people's websites or decipher other people's passwords just out of curiosity.

Qi Wangfu.

At lunchtime, it was Takaga's arrival. Li You smiled and said, "Gao Henian, you came at the right time, accompany me for a few drinks." ”

Gao Henian said with a smile: "Thank you, the minister came here specifically for lunch, just to taste the food of our Qi Palace." "Since he went out to serve as the principal of the military medical school, he has returned to the Qi palace much less often. He missed his days in the Qi Palace, and tried his best to find time to come back to visit Li You.

During the banquet, the two talked about children for a while, and Gao Henian said: "Lord, your princesses are about to give birth, and the minister's wife is very experienced in childbirth, and she will come to help when the time comes." ”

Liu Feixu is now the mother of two children, she and Gao Henian are the same brother and sister, not only strong in martial arts, but also have a deep study of medical skills, plus she has given birth to two children, and has her own unique experience in midwifery.

Li You said: "That's great, I'll thank you in advance." ”

Gao Henian said: "Lord Wang, in fact, the minister is here today, and there is another matter. After speaking, he took out two 100 Wen banknotes and said, "Lord Wang, look at this." ”

Li You took it and was taken aback, he asked, "Who made this, it is so powerful?" ”

Although there are some differences in the paper of the two banknotes, the patterns printed on them and the anti-counterfeiting marks are almost identical.

Gao Henian said worriedly: "Lord Wang, these people are completely capable of imitating the patterns on banknotes, and the risk of you issuing banknotes is too great." ”

Li You asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Gao Henian said: "Lord Wang, the minister still can't say about their identity, but if you agree, the minister can let them work for the court." ”

Li You trusts Gao Henian very much, but he doesn't dare to hand over the major events related to the national economy and people's livelihood to some people of unknown origin to participate in paper money. "This incident makes me think again," he said. ”

Gao Henian said: "Lord Wang, if you can't trust these people, the minister has an idea, you see how this ......"
