There are five types of businesses that are the most profitable: arms trading, drug smuggling, counterfeit drug production and trafficking, bank ticket numbers, and the issuance of currency. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 For the purpose of regulating the commercial trade between the "state and China", preventing the outflow of silver, and increasing fiscal and tax revenues, Burhan issued silver dollars "domestically", which in itself was the most lucrative and could greatly alleviate the fiscal deficit. However, he thought too much about the people's hoarding of curiosity. Because the production of the silver dollar of Hechi Tibu is so exquisite, once issued, it did not circulate in the territory as imagined, but was collected by a large number of merchants of the people. Among them, the Ming people are the most. There was no way, and the Hechi Ti Department could only increase the issuance of silver dollars, until four million taels of silver were about 5.5 million yuan, which was barely able to circulate. But now, Burhan found that there was not enough silver in the treasury, and the tax revenue had shrunk seriously when Burhan decreed that it was exempt from taxes.

The Hechiti Department has just experienced a battle of "annihilation", the fallen soldiers need to be compensated, the meritorious soldiers need to be commended, and the newly attached land needs to be built and consolidated even more. It was when he needed the money, but suddenly found that there was no money in the treasury. Originally, if the policy of reducing and reducing taxes on grain, iron, tea and silk was cancelled, and then the tax was temporarily increased, the finances of the Hechi Ti Ministry would not be so tight! However, firstly, Burhan does not have the habit of changing the order every day, and secondly, it comes! The benefits of the reduction and exemption of taxes on grain, iron, tea and silk are obvious. Although the Hetao Plain under the rule of the Hechiti Department is vertical and horizontal, and the water diversion and irrigation facilities are complete, ensuring that millions of acres of fertile land in the Hetao area can be harvested during drought and flood. However, in order to achieve hegemony, population is the key, and it determines the war potential of the Hechiti tribe. The food pressure caused by the "import" of a large number of people must be offset by policy tilts. Although the population of the Hechiti tribe has increased significantly, the food has not become a burden to the Hechiti tribe in the slightest, and the people have benefited from the reduction of the cost of grain and daily commodities due to the tax reduction.

Although this has contributed to the population policy of the Hechi Ti Ministry, it has sacrificed fiscal and tax revenues. As a result, there was now a serious fiscal deficit in the Hechiti Ministry, and at a time when Burkand needed to spend a lot of money, the treasury was empty, and even if Burkand had the right to issue money, he was also constrained by the lack of money.

For a few days, Burhan had been looking for a solution, and finally reminded him of the banks of the future. At this time, the concept of the bank has not yet appeared, but in Shanxi, a group of shrewd businessmen in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, has begun to transition from pawnshops to money banks, although it is still in the exploration stage, but Burhan believes that after his own intervention, even if it cannot be as perfect as the banks of later generations, the general functions are almost the same.

In addition, the reason why Burhan vigorously promoted the money bank was also related to a very important invention......

The next morning! Early in the morning, there was a message from the palace attendants, and the Great Khan urgently summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. When everyone gathered in the Qinzheng Palace, there was no trace of the Great Khan. People didn't mean to blame, they just felt a little surprised. After a long time, about two hours, it was already three poles of the sun, and it was long overdue for Burhan. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, there were no extra words, just a piece of paper was handed out to each minister. A piece of paper that is beautifully made may be a painting or calligraphy at all. It's just that this painting is a little too unbelievable, almost identical. Two ministers can't even distinguish the difference with a discerning eye, even when they compare each other with a discerning eye. …… The ministers did not know why, so they could only look at the Great Khan Burhan on the throne with puzzled eyes.

"What? Surprised? Do you want to say in your heart what does the Great Khan mean? Ha ha! Looking at the dazed appearance of the ministers, Burhan felt a sense of pride. Where is Feng Sanhuai, the master of the craftsman? …… It's up to you to solve your doubts! ”

Feng Sanhuai stood in response to the class: "Obey the order!" Then he took the painting from the hands of his cabinet and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen! What you have in your hands is the latest treasure money developed by my craftsman! …… Previously, the Great Khan had been instructed to develop silver dollars and treasure notes to replace bare silver. It's okay to say that the silver dollar is still made of silver, and it is not easy to counterfeit, but the treasure banknote is different. Treasure banknotes are paper money, not only to take into account the future issuance of treasure banknotes with a tough and wear-resistant texture, but also to maximize the cost of counterfeiting, so that it is not easy to be counterfeited. So look, everybody! ”

As he spoke, Feng Sanhuai held up a treasure banknote, pointed his fingertips on the blank space in the lower left and said, "You can see that a watermark of an ancient coin can be clearly seen in the blank space here!" ”

Watermark? Such a professional word, not everyone can understand, and it is true that Feng Sanhuai has no intention of explaining, just to let everyone understand that this thing does exist. In fact, the watermark is not complicated, just change the thickness of the paper. But in the eyes of others, this high technology seems to be difficult to master.

The ministers nodded frequently, and when they heard that this was a treasure banknote, they had already compared it with the Ming court treasure banknote in their hearts, and the watermark alone was not comparable to the Ming people.

But that's not all! Hechi Tibu treasure banknotes have put a lot of effort into anti-counterfeiting. The choice of raw materials alone is already stunning. The pulp used in the Hechi Tibu banknote is made of 12 kinds of natural fibers such as reeds and poplar catkins and cotton, etc., and the surface is smooth, white as snow, and the sound is crisp. Secondly, in terms of printing, it is even more than ten streets of Ming Bao banknotes. For the first time, the Hechi Tibu banknote was printed with roller printing. In order to enrich the color of the pattern and increase the depth of the sense, it is also difficult to imitate. In the process of printing, the patterns, characters, and codes of the treasure banknotes are engraved on the same cylinder shaft, and then printed with secret inks imported from the West. Subject to the technical conditions of the time, the printed treasure banknote pattern can not be compared with later generations, just like the color of the ink rules stacked together, even so it does not seem to have the slightest sense of disobedience, but there is an indescribable charm, but no matter how you think about it, one thing is certain, that is, this kind of treasure banknote is extremely difficult to imitate.

Feng Sanhuai, the master of the craftsman's work, said endlessly, and the ministers were already numb instead of dumbfounded, who would have thought that a mere treasure banknote, there are so many doorways in it, in fact, even if it is so, it is not too much at all. The ministers only classified it as a piece of paper in their cognition, but they didn't know that it would be white flowers and silver from now on. …… In fact, there is another anti-counterfeiting Feng Sanhuai that is not pointed out, this is the back door specially left by Burhan for Qian Zhuang. The Hechi Tibu treasure banknotes distinguish the denomination by the main color and background, the green grassland, cattle, sheep and horses, the yurt tent, and the Aobao Sulu ingot. But there is always a large ancient cloth coin printed on the obverse.

(Cloth coin, because the shape resembles a shovel, also known as shovel cloth, is an ancient Chinese currency, evolved from the bronze agricultural implement, the original cloth coin, retained its appearance as a tool, left a handle of the chisel, primitive and heavy, and then gradually lightened, thinned, smaller, the body of the coin completely became a sheet, easy to cast and carry.) ）

And the last secret of anti-counterfeiting is hidden in this cloth coin. During the printing process, the serial number and code number were combined. These carefully calculated numbering codes match the color of the cloth on the front of the banknote and the date of issue!

(The formula is as follows:

R Jiwei 08N16190505xxx: R (the English first letter of the color of the cloth coin, which can be monochrome or two-colored, R is red) Jiwei 08 (Ganzhi Ji Wei Yang Year) N (special meaning symbol, here N is the lunar calendar) 1619 (AD year, 1619 is the forty-seventh year of Wanli) 0505 (the fifth day of the fifth month of May) xxx (printing component number). R Jiwei 08N16190505XXX means that it was issued in the 47th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1619 AD, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the Year of the Goat in the lunar calendar, and the color of the cloth coin is red. ）

Burhan had graduated from the history department in his previous life, so he was able to easily calculate the year of the Common Era, and combine Arabic numerals with the English alphabet (Spanish, German, or whatever, of course). At the same time, it is also convenient to adjust the code in time, so that the counterfeiters are in vain.

Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be seen has been seen, and the next thing is to talk about business.

At this moment, there is silence in the Qinzheng Palace, and although these officials of the Hechi Ti Department like new things very much, they have natural defects in their vision. Seeing that no one spoke, Dajinong Dugan couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and said:

"Great Khan! You urgently summoned the ministers and other ministers to discuss the affairs of the Diligent Palace, you won't just come to see the treasure money, right? The ministers dared to wonder if the Great Khan wanted to issue treasure notes to replace silver dollars? "What Dajinong Dugen asked was exactly what the ministers were anxious about.

Hehe! Burhan got up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's still a great Jinong!" However, the issuance of treasure money is real, but it is not necessary to replace the silver dollar. ”
