Rock Seal Society.

A printing workshop under Meng Yan's name was originally to print Buddhist scriptures, but the owner did not manage well and lost money every year.

However, in order to appease Meng Yan, the owner heard that Meng Yan was going to buy a printing agency, so he bought a favor and transferred the printing agency to him.

This printing agency is not big, even the plate-making master adds up to six people, after Meng Yan bought it back, it was mainly used to print advertising leaflets.

This has its own printing agency, which is also convenient, and the printing agency also left a lot of Buddhist scripture engravings, and you can also print Buddhist scriptures in your spare time, which is also considered to be a meritorious achievement.

However, the marketing method of sending small advertisements has become the most fashionable in Beijing, and the printing business of the Rock Seal Society is much better, in addition to its own work, it also takes on outside work.

Now the Iwajisha has absolutely no problem supporting itself, and there is even a surplus.

Meng Yan also spent a lot of money to recruit a master of plate making from other printing companies, updated the printing equipment, and expanded the scale from the original six to twenty people.

Of course, this is far worse than the treasure banknote division of my imperial court, which prints treasure money, and the craftsmanship and technology involved are the top of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top of this era.

However, Meng Yan bought this printing agency, except for one time at the beginning, and then never came again, and this printing agency was also handed over to Jiang Feng to take care of.

Jiang Feng now has a name, claiming to be the outer housekeeper of the Meng Mansion.

Except for the Songhe Tower, wine shop and other businesses that Wen Xiaoyu took care of by himself, the rest were taken care of by Jiang Feng's brothers and sisters.

Of course, there are also some industries that Meng Yan personally controls, such as coking factories and steel mills, which he personally controls, which are related to the country's military strategy. He didn't dare to be sloppy.

The coking plant is the premise of steel smelting, and only by smelting coke can we make steel that is more comparable to Fujian iron.

He made a military order in front of the emperor for half a year.

"My lord, Jiang Feng is here, see you now. Or ......"

"Let him in, I have something to tell him." Meng Yan raised his head and instructed Guo Xiaochao, "In addition, prepare a horse for me, I want to go out." ”

"Yes, sir."

A moment later, Meng Yan put on civilian clothes and rode out of the back door of the Yamen of the Patrol Division with Jiang Feng.

"Drive!"

"Childe. There is a tail. Halfway through, Jiang Feng rode side by side with Meng Yan and reminded Meng Yan with gestures.

"You know, we separate the streets in front, you go around, and we block the front and back." Meng Yan quietly pointed to the street entrance in front of him.

"My lord, how do you solve it?" Jiang Feng nodded.

"Let's see!" Meng Yan Road.

"Understood, Son!"

Street corners.

Meng Yan suddenly rode his horse and accelerated. Jiang Feng suddenly separated from him and galloped towards another fork in the road.

It's a deep street. There are high walls on both sides, indicating that this is a back alley, with fallen leaves and dead grass in one place, and few people pass here, just like the shady side of the mountain.

Meng Yan rode his horse and turned in, and the Tsing Yi knight who followed closely behind also entered the alleyway.

saw that Meng Yan was the only one riding a horse in the laneway. The Knight in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, he realized that he was exposed, and was about to turn his horse's head.

Suddenly hearing the neighing of a war horse behind him, he turned his head to see that Jiang Feng rode in slowly from the corner.

The roadway is very narrow. It is only the width of a horse, and if you want to make a U-turn, a non-knight has extremely high equestrian skills.

"Your Excellency has already followed us all the way, are you a little tired, let's go to the teahouse on the corner in front of us to have a cup of hot tea, relieve fatigue, how about a chat?" Meng Yan turned the horse's head and said slowly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, is this road your family's fault, you take it, I can't go?" Tsing Yi Knight Road.

"Of course, this road is indeed not my family's, but you follow this official all the way, do you want to assassinate this official?"

"What a stab, I don't know you at all, I'm sorry, I'm leaving, please get out of the way." The Tsing Yi knight rode his horse and was about to pass by Meng Yan's side.

"Stop!" Meng Yan raised his hand and stopped the Tsing Yi knight.

"You, what do you want to do, don't think that you are an official, I am afraid of you." The Tsing Yi Knight's nervous throat tightened.

"Go back and sue your master, don't provoke people who dare not provoke, otherwise, Hugh blames the official for being ruthless!" Meng Yan snorted coldly, and with a bang, the Sky Wolf Knife slashed towards the horse's head like a bolt of lightning!

The horse's head flew up in response, screamed miserably, and a cavity of horse blood spurted out of his neck three feet away, and then with a grunt, the Tsing Yi knight fell down at once, and a gourd fell to the ground, stained with horse blood, and instantly turned into a bloody man!

Meng Yan withdrew the Heavenly Wolf Knife, not a drop of blood remained on the blade, the knife was put into the scabbard, and a tragic killing aura spread.

The knight in green was trembling with fright, he probably had never seen such a tragic and bloody scene in his life, right?

"Jiang Feng, let's go!" Meng Yan pinched the horse's belly, greeted Jiang Feng, and left from the alley, leaving the green-clothed knight standing stupidly in the blood water, not knowing when he would leave.

"Son, that kid is scared stupid, your knife is an example of chickens and monkeys, I'm afraid no one will dare to stare at your tail anymore!" Jiang Feng was also shocked by Meng Yan's thunderbolt method, such a knife would definitely deter those who secretly had intentions against Gongzi, at least they didn't dare to provoke Meng Yan.

"Well, this is a warning to some people." Meng Yan knew that the Tsing Yi knight who was following him was not from Dongchang.

The people of Dongchang are not so bold, dare to follow themselves blatantly, not from Dongchang, who will it be?

That's something to think about.

These people will jump out, Meng Yan knows that since they are eyeing themselves, they will naturally not stop so lightly.

The printing workshop is in the south of the city, but in the outer city, where the land is cheap and the sewage generated by printing is easy to treat.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?"

"This is the owner Meng Gongzi, you may have heard that Meng Yan, the acting director of the Jinyi Guard Inspection Division, is our owner!"

"Ah, it turns out that our owner is actually Meng Qingtian who is praised in the capital, everyone come out quickly. Meet Lord Qingtian! As soon as the old man greeted him, all the people who worked in the workshop left their work at hand and went to the courtyard.

"Knock on the owner's blue sky!"

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, Meng Yan had a huge sense of accomplishment, although he didn't like this kind of bowing ceremony, but this was the Ming Dynasty, and he had to follow the customs. The idea of equality in later generations was not so easy to accept in this era.

"Get up, everyone get up, Meng just did what he had to do."

"Master Meng redressed the unjust case for Miss Bai Suxin and punished the evildoers, and the old man and others admired him." The first white-bearded old man stood up and clasped his fist at Meng Yan.

"The old man praised it falsely, if the officials don't make decisions for the people, then it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!" Meng Yan remembered this famous sentence in later generations and blurted out.

"Well said. Lord Meng, what you said is too good, if you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, if the officials in this world can think about it like you, then there will be no unjust cases like Miss Bai Suxin. The old man said excitedly.

"Jiang Feng, who is this old man?"

"Returning to the son, this is the Haicheng master of our printing agency."

"You are the master engraving Haicheng?" Meng Yan was surprised. He knew that the printing company had hired a famous engraving master named Haicheng, but he had never seen it. In the industry of making zuò engraving printing, it is quite famous.

"Decay exactly!" Hai Cheng was quite proud to be known by Meng Yan and surprised, this seemed to be a very glorious thing for him.

"Master Haicheng joined our printing company. In fact, it's usually for you! Jiang Feng said.

"Oh, it's true?" Meng Yan was surprised and delighted.

"Meng heard that Master Haicheng once worked as an engraving master in the treasure banknote division and made the engraving of the Ming treasure banknote?" Meng Yan asked.

"This was many years ago, and the old man has long since resigned." Hai Cheng Dao.

"Then Master Hai is very familiar with the process of making Daming treasure banknotes?" Meng Yan was overjoyed, this was really a sleepy pillow.

Meng Yan's coal ticket number has to issue its own silver ticket. It is necessary to have its own set of anti-counterfeiting printing technology, of course, the anti-counterfeiting technology of this era can not be compared with later generations, but at least there are some things that can be used for reference.

The anti-counterfeiting technology of Daming treasure banknotes should be regarded as the top in this era, but the technology there is not leaked, and the master inside cannot be invited outside.

So it's really difficult to find such a master who understands technology, and Meng Yan can't take the time to study this.

"This is natural, Master Meng, you don't want to ......"

"Master Hai, let's go into the house to talk, let's go into the house to talk!" Meng Yan hurriedly said, this is not a topic that can be talked about in public.

The printing agency has a special meeting room for business negotiations.

"Hai Lao, we want to issue silver tickets for coal tickets in Beijing, so we must have our own anti-counterfeiting printing technology, this official is like learning from the anti-counterfeiting printing technology of Daming treasure banknotes, and then add some of our unique anti-counterfeiting technology......"

When Hai Cheng heard Meng Yan say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt ashamed in his heart for living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"There is no problem with this, but if you want to achieve that no one can imitate, you must start with the printed paper and ink, and the paper must be special, if you want to meet the standard of Daming Bao banknotes, I am afraid it will be difficult to do for a while." Hai Chengdao, so many people are doing it in the Treasure Banknote Division, and so many talents in the imperial court are concentrated, so it is natural that it can be technically impossible for others to imitate.

"Master Hai, what do you need, this official will do his best to help you, my request is that at least in a year or two, no one will be able to imitate or confuse the real with the fake."

"Old decay needs a master who is proficient in the art of papermaking, preferably an experienced master, and also needs ink, different ink mixing ratios, to find the best ink that is not easy to fade, which also requires an experienced ink blending master." Hai Cheng Dao.

"Okay, I'll help you find these two people, and if you find them, let them come to you to report to you." Meng Yan thought for a while, nodded and agreed, Jin Yiwei doesn't also have a craftsman division, it shouldn't be difficult to find two such people.

"Really, sir?"

"This official never speaks to people!" Meng Yan said. (To be continued......)
