Huaxia's papermaking and printing technology has been quite mature, but there is still a distance to reach the level of printing banknotes.

Gao Junshan followed Li Lin to the factory building of the banknote research group of the Academy of Science and Technology, where three engineers were waiting for Gao Junshan to bring him, a row of hand-cranked printing presses were placed in the center of the plant, and more than a dozen oil-stained printers were chatting on the side.

As soon as Gao Junshan entered the gate of the factory, he smelled a strong smell of ink, and after he came in, those printing workers were about to go out in line under the leadership of the foreman, Gao Junshan called the foreman and asked him to leave a few masters.

The three engineers accompanied Gao Junshan to the printing press, and Gao Junshan said: "You let the masters operate it once and show it to me." ”

Several masters skillfully operated the printing press.

The process is not complicated, a piece of banknote printing paper is printed and cut four times, the first printing is to color the white paper, so that the white paper becomes dark red, the second printing is to print yellow patterns, the third printing is to print green numbers, the fourth printing is to print blue stripes and borders, and then after cutting, it becomes a brand new banknote.

Gao Junshan watched the whole process, and there was nothing wrong with it, after the banknote was printed, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, and tried to rub it with his hand, because the ink was not dry, the color glaze was stained on his fingers.

Li Lin asked first: "Mountain Chief, what can be done to solve this fading problem?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "It is best to repeat the printing two or three times for each color, which can deepen the concentration of the color, but it should be noted that the previous color glaze must be completely dried before the next printing can be carried out." Each process must be repeated two or three times, so that the probability of the occurrence of scrapped banknotes will be very large, which requires that each printing must be strictly in accordance with the position of the previous one, as long as there is the slightest deviation, there will be a ghosting effect, such banknotes can no longer be used. ”

Li Lin said: "This problem should not be difficult to solve, our workers and masters are very experienced. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Every step is required to be very careful!" ”

Li Linxian assured: "This is strictly required by the student union. ”

Gao Junshan said: "In addition, the selection of paper materials is also very important, and you must use qualified banknote printing paper. ”

Li Linxian said: "The banknote printing paper we use is strictly controlled, and the materials used are cotton fiber and high-quality wood pulp, which can ensure the quality of banknotes. ”

Gao Junshan explained, "From the perspective of the quality of the banknote printing paper, the fading has a lot to do with the insufficient surface strength of the paper, which is a kind of powder loss phenomenon that occurs when the coating is pulled up during the printing process between the coating and the coating between the coating and the fiber. From the point of view of printing, the fading may also be related to factors such as excessive ink viscosity, excessive printing pressure, and the strength used during printing, so corresponding measures should be taken according to the performance of the banknote printing paper combined with the actual printing conditions. ”

Li Lin said first: "We will definitely make improvements according to the suggestions of the mountain chief." ”

Gao Junshan wiped the ink on his hands with a cloth and said, "I look forward to your improvements. Let's go, go to your mansion, I still have something very important to say to you. ”

Li Lin first heard that the emperor had important things to talk to him about, so he briefly explained two sentences to his subordinates, and then led Gao Junshan to his mansion.

Turn right out of the factory, pass through a garden-like corridor, and come to a building, which is the government of the Institute of Science and Technology, that is, the office building.

Although it is said to be a building, it is actually only three floors, and Li Linxian's office is on the first floor.

Gao Junshan walked all the way, and his disciples saluted and greeted him all the way, Gao Junshan smiled and waved to the disciples passing by as he walked.

Walking into the door of the building of the Academy of Science and Technology, inside is a very large hall, there are rooms on both sides of the hall, Gao Junshan followed Li Lin to one of the rooms, there are two rows of tables, a total of sixteen, of which there are five or six tables sitting in front of people working.

When these five or six people saw Gao Junshan coming in, they hurriedly stood up to greet them, and Gao Junshan said to them with a smile: "Excuse me, I have a few words to say to Vice President Li, so you can avoid them for the time being." ”

The men cleaned up the table and withdrew, and the last one to go out closed the door.

After the two of them sat down, Gao Junshan spoke: "Baili Shoufu needs an assistant over there, and I have decided to send you over to be Shousuke's assistant." ”

Li Lin heard it first, this is to promote me! He hurriedly saluted Gao Junshan: "Thank you for the love of the mountain chief, I will definitely work harder to do a good job." ”

Gao Junshan said: "The order will soon be sent to the Science and Technology Institute, you should prepare first." I would like to give you a few words of advice. First, you have to grasp the research and development of banknotes to the end, and you must not relax. In addition, the printing of banknotes must be strictly supervised by the imperial court, and I will appoint the Imperial Procuratorate to supervise the printing, storage, transportation, and issuance of banknotes. Second, Baili Shoufu is very old, and after you pass, you have to take on more work, and if you don't understand something, you should often ask him for advice. ”

Li Lin said first: "The students remember the teachings of the mountain chief. ”

Gao Junshan said: "When you go to Shoufu's side, you must have a comprehensive understanding of national affairs, which will help you in your future work." ”

"Please advise the mountain chief!"

Gao Junshan said: "China is currently in a blowout period of economic development, with an annual economic growth rate of 50 to 80 percent, which is an unprecedented period of rapid growth. This is the dividend brought by China's entry into industrial production, and I estimate that this development momentum will be maintained for about 50 years. The rapid growth of our economy will be reflected in foreign exports in the near future, so we must expand more overseas markets. ”

Li Lin first seemed to have an understanding: "This is the main reason for our external development. ”

"Not exactly." Gao Junshan's words leave room for his subordinates not to think that he is an emperor with world hegemony, "Our external development, occupying overseas markets is only one of the purposes, more important is that we want to help those poor and backward countries, I believe that with our help, the people of our neighboring countries will also live a happy life." ”

"Why should we help them?" Li Linxian asked suddenly.

"Why?" Gao Junshan blinked and thought for a moment, "Because they are poor!" ”

Li Lin first asked: "Are we preparing to wage war against the island countries now because they are poor?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "You are half right. I wage war against them because they owe a beating. I ask you, do you see an arrogant villain going up and punching him? ”

Li Linxian didn't understand Gao Junshan's words very well, he didn't seem to understand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can understand it slowly in the future!" Gao Junshan didn't want to explain too much to him, did he really want to tell him the truth, the war against the island country was for the construction of domestic railways? Gao Junshan would not say this, and after conquering the island country in the future, he would naturally know Gao Junshan's intentions.

Li Lin first asked: "I heard that we are going to carry out comprehensive cooperation with the British, and we are going to sell our steam engine battleships to them, and besides, there will be a group of British students from Huaxia who will come to study, and we will also send a group of students to study in the UK." Britain is so far away, so why should we have such close contact with them? ”

Gao Junshan said: "Establishing a close alliance with Britain is our current national policy, and it is difficult to completely conquer several countries if we only rely on us alone in the international arena. India is a good example of this, and now we are co-administering India with the United Kingdom, and this model will be rolled out to Africa, Europe and the Americas in the future. ”

Li Lin said first: "According to the meaning of the mountain chief, after our army defeats the island country, it will also expand overseas?" ”

Gao Junshan said in an affirmative tone: "This is nature. If we don't expand outward, we will be the ones who will be left behind in the future. I've already planned it, and after we've cleaned up the islands, we're going to cross the Bering Strait and enter the Americas. ”

"Americas?" Li Lin thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the United States that you often say?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "There is no such country yet, and when we arrive in the Americas, we will establish a new country with the British, and we will manage this country in the Indian model." ”

"Is this new country called the United States?" Li Lin first broke the casserole and asked to the end.

Gao Junshan said: "It doesn't have to be called this name. ”
