The next day, Changsun Chong went to the paper workshop at home, explained to Uncle Hua, and helped him make paper according to his requirements.

Before it is confirmed, if someone leaks the secret, in the end, Li Er will be the first to suspect him. When the time comes, not only will there be no credit, but it will also cause a commotion!

"Young master, this kind of paper does not absorb water, it takes a long time to write and draw on it, what do you want this paper for? Is it window paper? The eldest grandson asked puzzled, he was in charge of the paper workshop, and now there are three paper workshops in the house. I am accustomed to seeing all kinds of paper, and I am very puzzled by the high cost of this kind of "window paper".

Eldest Sun Chong didn't tell him the truth, and replied, "This was not originally used for writing and painting, as for what it is for, you will know soon." You'd better be careful about this paper-making technique, and don't let anyone learn it. ”

"Don't worry, young master, this paper is made by the master master in our workshop, and their family of eight has sold themselves to our eldest grandson's family, and they dare not betray us." Changsun Hua's assurance said that the core technology of paper is still in the hands of his own people. Not only did their eldest grandson do this, but the other families did the same.

Changsun Chong thought that even if he could make paper, he would not be able to make a silver ticket without his special ink, so he said with a slight reassurance: "Well, good, okay!" By the way, I asked you to get me the engraving now, is it done now? ”

"It's been prepared for a long time, young master will take it away this time?" Changsun Hua asked, and asked someone to bring the box in.

"Well, put it all on for me!"

The eldest grandson Chong bought all the pigments and materials, and then went home and prepared the ink.

It took a day's work. Finally, the two inks were successfully developed. One is blue ink and the other is colorless ink. First, use five-colored ink to print on the special paper, and then wait for it to dry, and then use another engraving plate to brush the blue ink on the paper just now. A silver ticket of 10,000 taels was printed, with blue characters on a white background, and the top was written Datang Royal Qianzhuang, with a pretty plum blossom in the middle, surrounded by lace made of some plum blossoms, and 10,000 taels written below, in the lower right corner. There is a blank space, one used to stamp the seal of the Tang Dynasty Royal Bank, and the seal of the specific money bank must be stamped next to it. If you go to the bank to exchange silver taels every time, you must have the stamp and endorsement of the specific bank on the back, so it is at the back of the silver ticket. There are small squares.

Liu Muxiang took it in her hand and frowned. That's how the silver ticket that Xiang Gong made with all his heart. It's very ordinary, and he asked, "Xianggong, except that the paper is quite strong, I don't see anything special!" ”

"Then you pick it up, and if you don't know how to look at it, you will know where the secret is." The eldest grandson Chong smiled smugly. No diamonds, no porcelain work. With this special watermark, I believe that no one in the world can imitate it.

Liu Muxiang looked at it from different angles and said in surprise: "Ah! Oh, my God. There is a white transparent letter and pattern decidedly. "I couldn't see it from another angle.

"Xianggong, what's going on?" Liu Muxiang asked excitedly, how could such a text be written in the world, "Is it a problem with ink?" ”

"See, under normal circumstances, that kind of white text can't be seen at all, but when you put it flat, you can see it, this is called a watermark. With this, do you think anyone else can imitate it? Changsun Chong asked proudly, believing that in the entire Tang Dynasty, only he, Changsun Chong, could get it out.

The watermark in Changsun Chong's mouth is different from the modern watermark, but Changsun Chong thought of a good name and borrowed it.

The eldest grandson Chong got six silver tickets of various denominations one after another, and after they were thoroughly dried, he took them to the eldest grandson Wuji's study, ready to talk to his father.

Eldest Sun Wuji saw the strange painting handed over by Eldest Sun Chong, which read fifty taels of silver, and asked, "This is the silver ticket?" ”

Changsun Chong nodded: "Yes, this is a silver ticket!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that his son would never make something that looked very simple on the surface, so he first got a little water on his hands and put it in the blue position, and found that it did not fade or faint, so he was slightly careful, picked it up again, changed the angle and looked, and saw that there was actually a white bamboo on it, which was exactly the same as the blue bamboo, and he was completely relieved.

Rao is well-informed, and he has never seen anything like this, as long as that transparent font can be kept forever, then no one can imitate the fake.

"Chong'er, isn't the anti-counterfeiting mystery of this silver ticket on this white invisible word and pattern?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"Yes, father, that's it." Changsun Chong pointed everywhere and introduced, "Father, you look at the silver tickets are very beautiful, there are flowers and words, all the silver tickets must be stamped with the seal of the headquarters of the Tang Imperial Money Bank, and they are issued by the General Money Village in Chang'an, so that we can easily know how many silver tickets we issue every month and every year; There is a stamping place next to it, which is the seal of each bank, and only when two seals are stamped and the silver that is received is the same as the silver ticket can it be truly issued and become a valuable silver ticket. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he nodded again and again and said, "Very thoughtful, Your Majesty will definitely be more satisfied." By the way, what is the purpose of this little lattice on the back? ”

"When the people exchange silver for silver tickets, and then use silver tickets to exchange silver elsewhere, they must be stamped with the seal of silver exchange in a horizontal row from left to right, proving that the bill is valuable and leaving a record. The next time someone exchanges money for a silver ticket, this silver ticket can continue to be used and needs to be endorsed. When the space behind it is used up, the silver ticket is invalid even if the mission is completed. ”

"Okay, okay, so that we can track where the money goes according to the time, place, and person of each exchange. In the event that someone uses this as a traitor, some evidence can be found. "The eldest grandson Wuji is really an old fox, and he has seen the essence through the phenomenon and obtained some financial information.

The eldest grandson Chong applauded and said, "Father, you reacted so fast!" I didn't think it would be useful for that. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was proud, looked at by his son adoringly, his self-confidence was still satisfied, and said: "You still have to learn more, watch and think more in the future." Now that you've got it, come with me to the court tomorrow! ”

"Dad, Your Majesty said, I went to court last time on the fifth day!" The eldest grandson Chong was not happy, his brain was in water, so he took the initiative to go to the court, and there was no big deal.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up suddenly, slapped the table and said: "How many people want to go to the court, but they are not qualified, you still pick and choose, I really don't know what to do." ”

"Dad, our family really doesn't need to be competitive anymore, and then the emperor is up, aren't you afraid of being tabooed!" The eldest grandson Chong persuaded and said that his father had a great desire for power, although he did not have the heart to rebel against Li Er, but he also had to guard against the negative impact caused by the monstrous power of the eldest grandson family!

The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the chair decadently, hey, and said: "You are right, our eldest grandson's family should be obscure, and we can't show our edge." ”

"Actually, father, in fact, even if you are very powerful, but you have no military power in your hands, so Your Majesty will not do anything to us, that is, some people will damage their interests because of my achievements in the past two years, and they will think of ways to deal with our family." The eldest grandson Chong comforted his father, hoping that he would not get into the horns.

"That's right, Xiucai rebelled, three years is not too late. I don't think I have the ability, I don't have the guts, what are I afraid of. Now the military power is in the hands of Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong, Li Daozong and others, I have no military power, and there is no threat to Your Majesty at all. "Eldest Sun Wuji figured it out, and the pressure in his heart was much less in a short time.

"That is, whether in the court or outside, we should keep a low profile. I have so much credit, and one day there will be a time when there will be no seal, then I will know that I will cut off my head, so I will be a bastard, and Your Majesty can rest assured that it is not. Power and everything, it is all given by His Majesty, as long as we do our duty, Your Majesty will never treat us badly, why care about the form! "The eldest grandson squeezed his eyebrows and made eyes, kept persuading, and went around and around, the purpose was to not go to the court, and he was really not used to going to the court!

The eldest grandson Wuji was really moved: "Okay, if you don't go to the court, I don't care about you." ”

"Dad, you're really good, by the way, how do you raise your massager, is it comfortable?" As soon as the eldest grandson Chong returned home, he gave a gift, although it was small, but it was not small.

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he smiled and said, "That thing is really easy to use, and it is very comfortable to use." I now carry it with me every day, and when I am tired, I can use it at hand, which is very convenient. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji beckoned and asked the eldest grandson to rush closer.

"What's the matter, Dad?" The eldest grandson Chong was curious, and he didn't know why his father was mysterious.

"The massager you gave to Your Majesty was given to the Emperor by His Majesty himself. It is rare that the Emperor Taishang said to His Majesty for half an hour with a pleasant face, and he also sent a reward on His Majesty's birthday, which shows that the relationship between the master and the son has eased somewhat. There will be such things like this in the future, don't forget to prepare one more for Your Majesty. The eldest grandson Wuji reminded that His Majesty personally said to him today, and there is nothing that makes His Majesty happier than his father's approval.

When the eldest grandson Chong heard this, he suddenly realized and said, "I see! ”

"Boy, this is a clever thing!" The eldest grandson Wuji was very relieved, knowing that he was a sycophant, and he was shooting so well.

"Thank you father for the compliment, you should be able to watch the silver ticket make this shadow, right?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "It's a little rough, but it's not bad." It's not good, it's not bad, just let Your Majesty improve it yourself, so that you can show Your Majesty's wisdom. ”

"That's what my father said!" Changsun Chong wrote it down, and it is estimated that he is only an experimental version, and it really needs to be decided by Li Er. He only needs to hand in the two inks and ideas, as for how to operate, it depends on Li Er. (To be continued......)
