Chapter 12 Connecting the World

Yinzhen was used to seeing Zheng Shichang's hair, so he ignored him and said it to himself; "Don't be afraid to spend money, we must establish the" four Heng "their own printing workshops, papermaking workshops, in all parts of the country to dig printing, papermaking talents, only continuous progress, so that others even if they want to imitate, forge can not keep up, we can do long. Bayi Chinese~"

Zheng Shichang has been completely numb, this fourteenth master has a bigger heart than the sky, open a silver number, and establish his own printing workshop, papermaking workshop, and dig corners all over the country, this silver is not sprinkled out like splashing water, how much silver does it cost? It's not heartbreaking for the cub to sell Yetian.

Yinzhen ignored him, stamped two seals on the sample ticket, and then threw it over and said, "Look at it, it's completely safe now, isn't it?" ”

Zheng Shichang picked it up and looked at it, there was a finger print, and another long list of small seals didn't know what it was, and was puzzled, Yinzhen handed over a note again, Zheng Shichang took it and took a look, a long string of names of provinces and provinces across the country, every day each provincial capital has a corresponding long list of small seals, but they are different, and at the bottom, there are the numbers he is most familiar with from zero to pick up and the strange numbers that correspond to one by one.

Arabic numerals Zheng Shichang did not recognize, but once he heard about it, he immediately understood what was going on, this is the number, not only anti-counterfeiting, but also greatly simplified the difficulty of management.

Yinzhen's voice sounded again without losing time, "This fingerprint is the fingerprint of the master, and the master assures you that this fingerprint is absolutely unique, and whether it is a meeting ticket or a silver ticket in the future, the fingerprint will be verified first." Bayi Chinese~" said and handed over a booklet, "This is the method of identifying fingerprints, there are secret marks left in the fingerprints of the master, which are all explained." ”

Looking at the perfect sample ticket in his hand, Zheng Shichang was sad and happy for a while, this ticket is definitely the most perfect insurance in the entire Qing Dynasty, but for this ticket, he spent a million silver, one million. Thinking that he now only has 20% of the shares of the 'Four Great Heng', he couldn't help but ask hopefully: "Fourteenth master, can we really dominate the bill market and issue silver tickets that circulate throughout the country?" ”

"Of course, do you think that Ye spent a lot of effort just to earn those two jujubes?" Yinzhen said complacently: "There are two things you have to do now, first, immediately arrange for the semicolon shopkeeper to be familiar with the secret marks, codes, numbers, and fingerprints on the tickets, and second, build a semicolon, first build more than five semicolons in the prosperous areas inside and outside the capital, outside the capital, first build a semicolon in the provincial capitals of various provinces, and the two rivers, Guangzhou, Beijing and Tianjin bustling prefectures and ports should also build a semicolon, and these semicolons should be opened on the same day, not only to play the name of Huitong world, but also to announce the distribution of each semicolon. ”

Zheng Shichang's eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, "Master, there are at least forty semicolons, just 30,000 taels of silver for a semicolon, and 1.2 million taels for this one, besides, if there is no silver, these semicolons are all empty." ”

'What are you afraid of?' The first task of the shopkeeper who instructed these semicolons is to absorb the deposits, and the deposits do not give interest, and the large number of long times can be issued without handling fees or silver tickets, besides, if you want to hold a meeting ticket, you must deposit silver, are you afraid that there is no silver? The two rivers and two Guangxi are fundamental places, and it should be enough to allocate 1.2 million yuan to the past as the capital. ”

"Then there are only 500,000 left in the capital." Zheng Shichang muttered, "The capital is the general number." ”

"On the day of the opening of all the branches, the capital issued three million silver tickets."

"Three million?" Zheng Shichang opened his mouth wide in surprise, and stammered after a while: "Then someone has to be willing to buy it." ”

"Hehe, Ben Beizi has his own clever plan, you just have to do it." Yinzhen was confident, but he was smiling secretly in his heart, once the silver ticket was launched, let alone three million, even five million would not be enough to sell, this thing is a big killer weapon in officialdom, and it is actually a necessary thing for bribery and home travel.

Considering that Kangxi usually returns to Beijing in September, these things must be done before he leaves Beijing, Yinzhen continued: "At the beginning of September, you pick a good day, all the semicolons must be opened in early September." ”

Time is so tight, how did it come in time, what did the Fourteenth Master think in his heart? Zheng Shichang didn't object, "Fourteenth master, more than three months, it's too late, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the edge in three months in some places." ”

"These are things you should think about. In a word, the Holy Driver must open before returning to Beijing, and if the road is far away, he must now send people to let them rent a house and hang a signboard, and he must grab the entire market in one fell swoop. Yinzhen said undoubtedly: "In addition, there must be a big difference between the silver ticket and the membership ticket, and the amount must be indicated, and it is best to have a watermark." ”

Out of the Fourteenth Beizi Mansion, Zheng Shichang couldn't help but sigh at the sky, "It's worthy of being a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, but a little kid who is only twenty years old, has amazing means, the old man is fifty out of sixty, and he has been rolling in the mall all his life, knowing that he was sold by him, and he has to help him count the money." ”

As we enter June, the weather is getting hotter.

Haifeng is getting busier and busier, the renovation of the private school in Da'er Hutong is nearing the end, although he doesn't have to worry about the missionaries who teach Western studies, but the gentleman who teaches Chinese studies still has to be found by him, and the most annoying thing for him is the source of students, although he doesn't charge money, but when he hears that it is a strange set of things like missionaries, even the poor people are not willing to send their children.

Yinzhen is not idle, he is going to Jiangning to supervise the construction of agricultural colleges, so no matter what, he will do this errand beautifully, the planning of this agricultural college is counting on those officials of the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that it is a bit mysterious, or do it yourself, I am really honest, although I have never done planning, but there are not a few colleges and universities that I have seen, these days, he is plunged into the study to plagiarize.

Early this morning, Hai Feng hurried to Yinzhen's study, and after seeing the ceremony, he said directly: "Fourteenth master, the private school in Da'er Hutong has almost been rebuilt, but this gentleman and students are not easy to find, and no one is willing to come when they hear that there are missionaries involved." ”

Yinzhen nodded, and said a little depressedly: "I expected this situation, and I have sent someone to pick the school-age children in my coat collar, and I also sent people to Xuanhua, Baoding, and Yongping to spend money to buy school-age children. ”

Hearing that the students were not worried, Hai Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and he said tentatively: "There are a few people who have fallen into the Gaosheng Inn on the West Sandwich Road, do you think you can invite them to ......?" ”

"I've finished the exam, why are they still stranded in the capital?"

"The slave didn't care at first, but then he couldn't find Mr. and he took it to heart and asked someone to inquire carefully." Seeing that Yinzhen had no objection, Hai Feng knew that there was a play, so he hurriedly said in detail, "There are six of them, they are from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces, because the road is far away, and they are unwilling to waste time on the road, so the six of them are waiting for the next subject exam in Beijing." ”

Yinzhen didn't think about it and said: "You go and try it, and give them three taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation." ”

On June 19, Prince Chuntai of Heshuokang died, and the clan relatives in Beijing naturally had to go to worship.

Early the next morning, Yinzhen received a funeral report from King Kang's mansion, and after cleaning up a little, he went to mourn, as soon as he entered King Kang's mansion, he bumped into the old nine and ten, Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward and greeted affectionately, "Brother Nine, Brother Ten." ”

Lao Shiyin smiled and said: "Fourteen, I haven't seen you for some days, but you can come fast enough today." ”

Lao Jiuyinyu said with a smile: "How can we fourteen change our temperament now, and we can't leave the house like a lady." ”

Listening to Lao Jiu's weird words, Yinzhen didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's rare to bump into a piece today, let's go kowtow first, and go back to find a place to get together." ”
