PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Zhongyang Bank Qian Zhuang opened a few days of customers scarce, only a few sporadic pawn business, are a few days can not go on to pawn property, people to the point of exhaustion, as long as you can exchange for silver, the pawned things do not want to redeem at all, so do not talk about what size, can pawn out.
Finally, someone came to exchange the silver ticket, but it brought trouble.
The man who came was a man in his twenties, dressed neatly, and took out a silver ticket at the counter and said, "Give me cash." ”
The guy from Qian Zhuang took the silver ticket and looked at it carefully, and then said politely: "Guest officer, you seem to have misremembered, this is not our silver ticket here." ”
When the man heard this, he immediately shouted: "Isn't your money bank a cheater, and you don't recognize the silver bills you issued, and return my money." ”
The shouting immediately attracted the onlookers next to him, and even the people outside the money village came in to watch the excitement.
There were more people, and the man shouted louder.
The man was not in a hurry, and waited for the man's shouting to pause before he said, "You can see for yourself if the silver ticket is really real." After speaking, he picked up the silver ticket brought by the man and came to a wooden board hanging next to him, on which were pasted various silver tickets issued by Zhongyang Bank. The guy didn't say much, just put the silver ticket under the bank ticket of Zhongyang Bank, and everyone gathered around to watch, causing a burst of laughter. The man glanced at himself, his face immediately turned red, and he took the silver ticket in his hand and ran out of the door.
It turns out that the silver ticket he took and the silver ticket of Zhongyang Bank can not be compared at all, it is completely two things, the pattern on the silver ticket of Zhongyang Bank is lifelike, just like the painter painted the pattern directly, the details are full, the charm is natural, and there is a change of tone, even the best lettering craftsman in Nanjing City can not engrave such a good pattern, the silver ticket of Zhongyang Bank can not be drawn one by one, so it can not guarantee that the pattern and font size on each silver ticket are consistent. Onlookers were in front of the sample of the silver ticket to see the surprise.
Seeing everyone coming around, the guy took out a few silver tickets from the counter for everyone to see, and introduced: "Look at the patterns and fonts on this silver ticket, others can't imitate it, and ordinary people can distinguish the authenticity." Look at this one again. The two corners of the silver ticket are the signatures of our boss and the boss's wife, this font can not be written, as long as the two silver tickets are stacked together, you can distinguish the real from the fake by looking at the light, and the fake strokes cannot be overlapped together. ”
Everyone took the silver ticket to look at the light, and sure enough, there were two signatures on the corner of the silver ticket, and the strokes of the two together through the light signature completely overlapped. And the boss of this house is really interesting, the signature of the proprietress is also printed on the silver ticket of the bank, but unfortunately the words are too sloppy, and I can't see what the proprietress name is.
The man picked up a silver ticket and held it up in front of everyone, and said, "Everyone, pay attention." After speaking, he tore a hole in the silver ticket. Everyone didn't know what they meant. Then the man said, "Look at the filaments that are joined together in this torn place." No one else can be made. Everyone looked carefully and saw that the torn place of the silver ticket was connected with a thin white line, and this money bank really made a lot of efforts to prevent counterfeiting.
The man pointed to the sample of the silver ticket and said: "The silver ticket of our money village has a variety of denominations of one tael, two taels, five taels, and ten taels, which is very light compared to silver, and is more convenient to carry and use. And there is another advantage to the silver ticket of our Zhongyang Bank, our boss has opened the money village from Nanjing to Jiubian, you have earned silver money in Jiubian, bring it back and trouble, take the silver in our money bank to exchange it for silver tickets, and then you can exchange it for silver in Nanjing, and even save the money for the bodyguard.
We've got some fun stuff for everyone to see. The guy beckoned a companion to come over with a cash box, "This is a silver dollar, one is a tael of silver, the style is exquisite, well-made, made of sterling silver, you can take it back as a thing to play, you can also get us here to exchange it for silver or silver tickets, the same one or two cents of the handling fee, there is no loss." "The big head on the silver dollar was very cute, and some people really exchanged a few of the silver for it and played with it.
The silver note of Zhongyang Bank is Zhang Chu in the direction of paper money to let the craftsman develop, these two years of continuous experimentation and improvement is now successful, the paper used for printing is specially manufactured, wool is added to the pulp of papermaking, the paper is shiny when you pick it up, tear it with wool thread, take it to burn with a burning smell. Zhang Chu and Yue Yue signed on the corner in pinyin again, so no one knew each other, and no one knew how to write.
The most important thing is that the printing of silver tickets uses lithographic printing technology, originally this technology will not appear a hundred years later, Zhang Chu brought this technology to the Ming Dynasty in advance, the biggest feature of this technology is simple, so simple that Zhang Chu went to travel and listened to the narrator talk once and remembered.
Stone printing listen to the name to know that you need a slate, and then add an iron casting hand-cranked platform, there is a flat bluestone slab in the platform, using the irreconcilability principle of oil and water, with oily ink on the rice paper to draw a good pattern, when slightly drying, the rice paper is pasted on the slate, with a strong roll on the rice paper, so that there is a pattern on the slate on the slate, and then soak the slate with water, because the pattern is painted with ink, the place with the pattern is not wet, and the blank space without the pattern will be soaked, when the craftsman rolls ink on the slate, The waterless part of the pattern will be dyed with ink and then covered with white paper, and the pattern will naturally be printed on the white paper after pressurization.
The characteristic of lithographic printing is that the reduction of the pattern is particularly strong, and the engraving printing cannot be counterfeited in any case. If the technology is not leaked, no one will be able to print the same bank notes as Zhongyang Bank in a few decades. This laid the foundation for Zhongyang Bank to issue a large number of bank bills and exchange in other places.
Taking the fake silver ticket to the Zhongyang Bank bank to exchange silver, the man didn't go far before he was targeted, went to a secluded and uninhabited place, was knocked unconscious by a palm, gagged his mouth, tied his hands and feet, and carried away in a sack.
When he woke up, the man was already half frightened to death, and he told the story in the face of the bank staff's questioning.
Zhang Zhenpeng, a wealthy man in Nanjing, has a big business, his ancestors have accumulated a lot of wealth in business for several generations, and he is engaged in the sale of goods in Nanjing, and also opens a money bank, and there is a Longfu money village in the east of Nanjing, which he does not directly manage, and hires a shopkeeper to operate there. When Zhongyang Bank opened, the shopkeeper of Longfu was very unhappy, and outsiders came to his territory to grab the transaction without even informing him, and he had to give them some color to see.
Longfu's shopkeeper ordered his subordinates to spend ten taels of silver to redeem a silver ticket at Zhongyang Bank, and took it back and made a fake one, and did not ask for much likeness, as long as Zhongyang Bank did not redeem the silver, it would ruin the reputation of Zhongyang Bank Bank if it made trouble, and disgusting them first. The guy from Longfu Money Village didn't dare to spend money and found an idler on the street to exchange the silver, but he didn't expect the silver ticket to be so bad that he couldn't even look at it, so he had to run out.
The guys from Zhongyang Bank quickly reported the situation to Zhou Jialin, and Zhou Jialin saw that there was no loss, so he asked someone to release the idler, and asked him to bring a message back, saying that Zhou Jialin was going to visit Zhang Zhenpeng, the big boss of Longfu Bank, another day.
