Yang Gengai talked with Sun Chengzong for a while, and after carefully pondering the strategy of North Korea, it was finished. Sent Sun Chengzong away. Yang Gai said: "Big companion, immediately bring Cao Zhengchun to me." ”

Yang Gengai was very disappointed with the ability of his intelligence system, and he couldn't figure out how many troops were stationed in North Korea, and even said that the wild boar skin had entered the customs, and he couldn't figure out such a big thing, and his intelligence system was already in a state of failure.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed, and then sent someone to find Cao Zhengchun.

After a while, Cao Zhengchun arrived, trotted a little, and greeted the emperor.

"Okay, Cao Zhengchun, don't bother too much, I have something to ask you, how is your military intelligence bureau doing? What progress has been made on this information? Yang also knows that his intelligence system has just been rebuilt, and it is far from the moment when it plays a role, but he really can't wait.

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have sent a lot of fine work to Mongolia and Dongyu in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions to collect information, but because the time is still short, there is no major news yet." Cao Zhengchun really has no good news to report to the emperor, this military intelligence bureau has only been open for a few days! There is to be significant information to be obtained, and if this is really the case, then this news is probably not believed or not, and it is worth considering.

"Well, I know that your military intelligence bureau has just opened, and there hasn't been any major progress yet, but on the North Korean side, can you pay attention? Can you send someone? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, on the Korean side, the slaves and maids also sent some people over, but they are not as many as those from Mongolia and Dongyu. Your Majesty, do you want to send more people to Korea? Cao Zhengchun asked suspiciously.

"Hmmm! It is said that last year, the East Captives went on an expedition to North Korea, North Korea has surrendered, and the East Captives have stationed some people in North Korea, I want to know how many people there are, what are the troops, I am ready to cross the sea to expedition to North Korea, and to rescue North Korea from the control of the East Captives, which is related to the safety of our DPRK, do you understand what to do? ”

Although he can go back and search for what happened in history, however, this should still be arranged, and the empire cannot rely on itself.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid understand." Cao Zhengchun quickly agreed, but it was just a trivial matter, as long as he sent more people to North Korea.

"Well, it's good that you understand, this information, as I said, is an invisible war, in this war, if you win, I win, if you lose, I lose, understand? The victory or defeat of this front is related to the life and death of our Ming Dynasty, so you must be cautious, you must be serious, you must pay attention to it, and do not let go of a trace of clues. Yang Gengai couldn't help but nag about the important surname of this intelligence.

"The slave and the maid understand, and the slave and the slave obey."

"Okay, let's do this as soon as possible, don't delay, this matter is still top secret, don't confide in anyone, you know?" Yang Reform is really busy today, and he has no time to talk to Cao Zhengchun and talk to him.

"The slave and the maid obeyed, and the slave and the maid withdrew." Cao Zhengchun received the emperor's task and retreated, glad in his heart that the emperor did not lose his temper indiscriminately. This military intelligence bureau has just opened, and there are no achievements and news worth talking about, one is not good, not to mention it, it was alienated by the emperor, and it was lost on an errand, but it was bad.

After sending Cao Zhengchun away, Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief again, everything that should be arranged was arranged. Gotta get busy with yourself.

"Ome, has the person I called in the morning arrived?" Yang Reform is ready to take the opportunity to get this newspaper out, he has been preparing for a long time, but he has been very busy, and it has been delayed until now.

"Back to Your Majesty, that person has arrived, but Your Majesty wants to summon him?" Wang Chengen responded.

"Well, see you."

Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

"Grass people Liu Awu knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." The fact that an ordinary person can enter this Qianqing Palace is also a creation. Liu Awu was unusually excited.

As soon as Yang Gai sat down, he was dozing off, and when he heard someone kowtowing, he opened his eyes, and the person kneeling on the ground in front of him was the Ah Wu he had seen before, who was more powerful in printing, why is his surname Liu now?

"Awu? Liu Awu? When did you end up with the last name Liu? Yang asked casually.

"Back to the emperor, oh, no, back to Your Majesty, the grass people said a few days ago that they had regained their ancestral surnames and recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors." Liu Awu said as he spoke, and he became happy.

"Oh...... How did you do what I asked you to do? "For the question of this person's name, Yang Reform does not plan to delve into it, he just wants this person to get newspapers and banknotes for himself, if this person is not good, then change people, what he needs is someone to do things for himself, not to study other people's family affairs, **.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people have been able to make a very beautiful lottery ticket, the printing is also clear, easy to identify, you can use a variety of colors, Your Majesty wants to see it?" When it comes to professional matters, this Liu Awu is right.

"Well, there's a finished product? Then show me, if you do well, I will be rewarded. Yang Reform remembers, just asked this person to get the lottery, try to do it beautifully, in order to be in the future, he can also issue a paper ticket, this paper ticket, a cent of silver or gold reserves, you can issue several times the paper ticket, it can be said, is a property amplifier, with this, a million taels of silver, can be used as millions of taels to spend, it can be said, is the real gold finger, Yang Reform has long coveted, and when he has enough silver reserves, he will engage in paper tickets, After a while, the life of the Americans in the future, if there is no money, they will die printing money, of course, you have to get the technology of paper money in advance, so there are a few times to summon Ah Wu, Yang Reform has no less hope on this Ah Wu.

"Back to Your Majesty, that sample was accepted by the father-in-law when he entered the palace, saying that they were in charge of the ......, and they would naturally ......present it when they wanted it," Liu Awu said.

"Companion, ask someone to send that sample to me right away." Although this practice of searching the body before entering the palace is a bit inauthentic, it involves the safety of his own life, and Yang Gai feels that it is necessary, so he does not ask too much. Naturally, there are rules in the palace.

Soon a little eunuch came in from outside the door, carrying a plate, and in the plate were a few pieces of colorful paper.

Wang Chengen took it and handed it to Yang Reform, who picked up the colorful paper, which was the size of a palm, and looked at it. This kind of paper, compared with the banknotes of later generations, is still much thinner, it seems that it must not be used for a long time, it can be seen that the use of engraving printing technology, the words are still a little "stupid", far from being as neat as the handwriting on the banknotes. However, green, red, blue, and black paints were used, and the palm-sized paper was really made into a "lottery ticket".

Yang Gengai picked up one of the papers, shook it vigorously, pulled it, and with a "hiss......" sound, a lottery ticket was torn in half. Yang reformed his heart and said: Sure enough, it is not very strong, the banknotes after the future, but much stronger than this, with the old banknotes, after washing in the washing machine, you can still use it, this, it is estimated that it can not be used in water.

Yang Gai put the torn lottery ticket in half into a teacup, and soon, the color on the paper was discolored, and the tea was made colorful. Sure enough, it's decolorized! Mention it, this lottery ticket, already wet, with a pinch of the hand, this lottery ticket, into a ball of mud.

Wang Chengen looked puzzled as the emperor not only tore the paper, but also put the paper into the teacup, and he was even more puzzled. Looking at the tea that has been dyed in a colorful way, it is inexplicable.

Liu Awu knelt on the ground and heard that the emperor seemed to have torn up a lottery ticket. I was already scared to death, and I didn't dare to raise my head. I am afraid that what I do will not enter the eyes of the emperor and cause death.

Yang Gengai looked at the cup with colorful tea, and said: "Liu Awu, this lottery ticket, not durable, not strong, easy to tear, not resistant to water, as soon as it encounters water, it will fade, the paper will melt, this is not good, and I have a big gap in the lottery in my mind, you have to make a kind of lottery that can be kneaded many times, durable, not afraid of water, does not fade the lottery, this kind of lottery ticket, to be able to soak in water can still be clearly identified, do not fade, do not fade ......" Yang reform's requirements, It is completely according to the banknote used in the future, in order to prepare the banknote as soon as possible, and on the day after that, if there is an opportunity to issue banknotes, you can directly take this out and use it, which is considered to reserve technology in advance.

Liu Awu listened in a daze, and it must be durable, not afraid of kneading and folding, and it must have a beautiful color, a clear pattern, and it must be able to withstand washing. Lying on his knees, he didn't know what to say.

"Liu Awu?" Yang Reform only cared about himself and said, not paying attention to Liu Awu at all. At a glance, it turned out that this guy was already stunned, and Yang Reform felt that maybe his request was really a bit excessive.

"The grass people are here, the grass people are here...... Grass people should be damned, damned...... Your Majesty forgives your sins, forgives your sins, ......" Liu Awu, who was woken up by the emperor, came back to his senses, where was he here, what was he doing, and immediately kowtowed and asked for forgiveness.

Yang Reform felt that he might have gone too far, and asked the people of the Ming Dynasty to produce paper money in the 21st century, which may be really difficult, and he did not mean to blame. This Liu Awu, that is, a chance, is a venture capital, not pinning all his hopes on him, if he can't do it, Yang Reform doesn't mind immediately changing people, changing institutions to do this, he is the emperor, what he comes out of is ideas, what he comes out of is ideas, what he gives is holy decrees, not engineers, not scientists, and he doesn't care about the specific process.

"Do you hear me? The lottery ticket I need is thicker than this, the handwriting and pattern are clearer than this, it does not fade, it does not fade, it is durable, it is not afraid of water, even after kneading in water, it can still be used, do you understand? Yang Gai felt that it was better to make a long story short, he could make his own requests, and let these Ming Dynasty people solve the rest.

"The grass people understood it, and the grass people wrote it down, durable, clear, not afraid of water, and not fading. However, the grass people dare to ask, is there such paper in the world? If there is, the grass people are brave, please give your majesty a sample for the grass people, and the grass people will do it according to this...... "Liu Awu feels that there is no such paper in the world, and it can't be made at all, rather than being slaughtered by the emperor later, it is better to ask clearly. If there is a physical object, you can do it according to the physical object, which is much simpler.

"Physical? No, it's just no, that's why I let you do it, and if there is, why bother letting you do it? Don't worry, I can do it, I believe in you. "Yang Reform didn't cross with anything, he just possessed his soul. If it's ** crossing, then maybe you have a few cents on you, but you can make a sample or something, but it's definitely not now.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people understand." Liu Awu didn't understand it at all, he was very worried about his own life, for fear that he would not be able to make it, and he would be clicked by the emperor.

"Well, this matter,You don't want to talk to anyone,When making paper,Pay attention to confidentiality,Including the process of making lottery tickets,Materials used, etc.,Don't disclose it to anyone,Understand? This lottery, I don't want it all the time, you slowly grope it, I give you enough time, you need to pay for it, how much do you want, how much I give, understand? ”

Yang Gai also knows that this paper money can not be done in a day or two, and he can only hope that this indigenous person of the Ming Dynasty can make a "paper money" that is slightly touched by the paper money of later generations, and he is thankful. Yang Reform has seen the "treasure money" used in the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, it is really not good, a thin, not good quality paper, with a board, printed some words, the words are not very neat, the printing is still very blurry, so used as silver, it is really bluffing! No matter how orthodox and reputable you are in the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to convince others that your piece of paper can be used as silver. Yang Gengai decided to make this banknote beautiful and worthwhile.

When the emperor said that he would give enough time to do it slowly and not be in a hurry, Liu Awu's confidence returned, and he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. This time, it's really God blessed.

"Liu Awu, don't be in a hurry to thank you, I called you here today, not for this matter, there is another important matter for you to do, if it is done, it is okay to give you an official position, understand?" Yang Reform was ready to start a newspaper, but he lacked this printing technology, the printing press.

"The grass people understand, the grass people understand...... "As soon as Liu Awu heard that he was an official, he was terrible. A plain and bright common man, who has never been selected for showmanship, let alone for lifting, is about to become an official, and has become an official, how can he not be excited?

"Companion, show him these few points." Yang Reform took a few copies of the newspaper on the table to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen gave it to Liu Awu.

The Ancient Mansion Newspaper is actually a book. If you don't know what it looks like, flip through the textbook you read in middle school, and it's probably similar to that.

Liu Awu flipped through the newspaper for a long time. I don't know what the emperor means.

"Liu Awu, this is the commonly used Di Bao at present, you look at the words on it, the handwriting is also printed clearly, however, I think that this page by page is more troublesome, I want to use a large piece of paper, the content of the entire Di Bao is contained on one paper, printed on both sides, so, can you do it?" Yang Reform didn't bother to think about what he could do, so he directly asked for it, as for how to get it, naturally there are people below who can figure out a way for themselves, and they are emperors, not scientists and technicians.

"Back to the emperor, the grass people often print books in the factory, this is no problem, that is, to make the engraving a little bigger, but, Your Majesty, everything is printed on a piece of paper, this person makes the engraving, I'm afraid it will take several days to carve a printing plate! In this way, the time spent copying the newspaper is long, and it is far less fast than copying it by hand. This master who is familiar with printing technology is no stranger to Di Bao.

"Engraving? Haven't you ever seen movable type printing? Yang Gengai remembers that this printing technique is one of the four great inventions of China, this movable type printing, but it has been emphasized in the history textbooks of middle school for a long time, at least in the Ming Dynasty, I remember that it was invented by a person named Bi Sheng, it seems to be a person from the Song Dynasty, and Yang Reform had the courage to ask about this movable type printing.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the grass people know movable type printing and have used it, but the handwriting printed by this movable type printing is far less neat and clear than the engraving, so it is not used much! For example, the newspapers that His Majesty gave to the grass people are all printed with engravings, so that the handwriting is so clear, if movable type is used, I am afraid that the handwriting is far less clear. Liu Awu made it clear to the emperor what he was in his "professional".

"The movable type is not clear, then you have to find a way to make it clear, this is also the purpose of I called you, it is all printing, there is no reason that the wood carving is clear, the movable type is not clear, my idea is that it is best to print the newspaper overnight, mass printing, understand?" Yang Gengai has wanted to do newspapers for a long time, and he went back to check printing, knowing that at this time, there was already a printing machine, so he was not ready to do it himself, but just asked someone to get it, and he only wanted the result.

"The grass people understand, the grass people obey orders!" Liu Awu had to agree to the emperor's request, as for whether it was reasonable or not, it didn't matter, as for whether it could be done or not, I would talk about it later.

"As for how to print the newspaper, I will give you a model here, and when you print it, you should follow this." Yang Gai showed Liu Awu a newspaper of his "DIY". This newspaper, which is about the same size as the four-page and eight-page newspapers of later generations, is cut with a large piece of rice paper, and then divided into eight pages, and on each section, it is pasted with rice paper where the words are written, which becomes the newspaper that Yang Reform is now displaying, and this is basically similar to the newspapers of later generations.

Liu Awu looked at the emperor's "Xindi Newspaper", and quickly said: "Return to Your Majesty, this is not difficult, the grass people can do it." "This is really not very difficult, that is, the previous paginated newspaper is all printed on a piece of paper, that's it, it's very simple, as for why you don't use the previous kind of newspaper, Liu Awu didn't dare to ask, in fact, this is completely Yang Reform's personal habit.

"No problem, then you can get it, you can do movable type printing, it is best to be able to invent a machine that can facilitate printing, in this way, it is convenient to print, I heard that there is such a thing in the West, you can refer to it...... "This matter, it's not easy to break the ......" ......" Liu Awu agreed again without understanding.
