Yedu, the outer city of the Forbidden City, the imperial study.

Emperor Hongwu stood up from the dragon chair violently, "What! Print my avatar on the banknote! ”

This treatment, which only a great leader has, now came to his head and shocked him.

"Yes!" Zhou Shan kowtowed, and when he raised his head, his eyes showed admiration, and said: "The emperor has created a great cause for thousands of years, and the world cannot forget the emperor's achievements." In addition, with the portrait of a top painter, the seal of the top master is carved into a template, so that the double insurance must not be forged. ”

Banknotes are most afraid of counterfeiting. Qin Feng pondered for a while, and this is also the truth. The works of the great painters of ancient times, even in later generations, can not be simulated by high technology, plus the seal carving of the masters, this insurance is absolutely in place. However, Qin Feng waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, only truly great people can be passed down through the ages like this." I have some achievements, but not enough. ”

Zhou Shan kowtowed anxiously and said: "The emperor conquered the north, swept the Central Plains, collected the south of the Yangtze River, swept the southern barbarians, and rested in peace in Pingchenguo, Goguryeo, Guishuang, and peace." Others have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the Great Qin rivers and mountains are more than 100,000 miles. Such an achievement, even if the three emperors and five emperors are combined, they cannot be compared. How can it be said that there is no merit? If such a merit of the emperor cannot be passed down through the ages, who can pass on the merits of others? ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't agree, the world will be sad."

"It's ......." Qin Feng scratched his nose, and said in his heart, does the master have such great achievements? It seems that there is a ....... He couldn't help but smile, but quickly took it back, and said helplessly: "In this case, let's do what Aiqing wants!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Shan was overjoyed and left.

Five days later, the Great Qin Academy of Sciences.

Zhou Shan, Ma Jun, Huang Chengyan. Gathered around a large offering table, he looked admiringly at several prototypes of banknotes of various denominations. The size of a banknote for later generations.

I saw that on this banknote, there were Chinese characters and minority characters. There are also multiple coats of arms representing the Chinese ethnic groups. There is the original "Zijin Number" created by Emperor Hongwu, and the denomination of capitalized Chinese characters, which is naturally indispensable for hairstyle and year names. These are all on the four outer edges.

On both sides, there are halls of the Forbidden City that represent the power center of Great Qin. Consistent denominations, five denominations, ten denominations until 100 large amounts, in order are the Temple of Heaven, Qianqing Palace, Baohe Palace, Taihe Hall and so on. There are also one to one hundred articles. Without exception, in the middle of these magnificent buildings is the founding emperor of Great Qin. The avatar of the Emperor Hongwu.

The delicate and slightly warped head painting is lifelike, the hair can be counted clearly, and the golden dragon pattern on the neckline is lifelike. On the other hand, the national emblem and national flag of Daqin are all there.

"That's it, it's exciting to watch!" Zhou Shan slapped the board.

So, on the one hand, the three of them found a master craftsman and began to engrave the banknote template. On the other hand. He also looked for the paper of the banknote.

Finally, it was determined that a special kind of paper in Daqin, "mulberry paper", was used as the carrier. The mulberry paper is pale yellow, and the obvious fiber structure can be seen in the mulberry paper with exquisite craftsmanship. The local government classics and books formed during the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China are basically mulberry paper as pages, and the appearance and feel are beautiful.

The thousand-year-old mulberry paper is known as the living fossil of the human paper industry. For thousands of years. It records China's traditional papermaking process and is a window for people to understand the history of paper culture.

Later generations after Qin Feng. Mulberry paper, also known as "Daqin paper" in ancient times. It originated during the Great Qin Empire. It is made of mulberry bark and is mainly produced in the Central Plains of the Great Qin mainland. According to relevant historical records: as early as the Great Qin period, the Yangzhou area produced leather paper, which has a history of 1800 years. The paper is named after the era and is called Daqin paper.

In this regard, Qin Feng mobilized ninety-nine eighty-one top carving masters, each of whom was responsible for a part of the pattern. Huang Chengyan, the master of the organ, personally operated the knife, and his technique was even more unique, specializing in secret notes. In this regard, an article was published...... Consistent, ten-、......, to hundred-run banknote templates.

After that, Qin Feng issued an edict that ninety-nine eighty-one master craftsmen made great contributions, bestowed the title of lord, and rewarded the ladies of the mansion with countless money, and let them retire early and go home to live for the rest of their lives. All day, the black-clad guards were on guard, and the intelligence guards were watching outside. Until these masters died, no one was able to make the exact same template. And after people get used to it, they can distinguish the true from the fake with a little identification.

At the beginning of May, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

Before the emperor Lao'er came, the ministers headed by Xu Shu began to talk about it.

"If the emperor insists on going his own way and wants to use paper money as the currency for transactions, we will die!"

"Yes, death!"

The ministers were indignant and couldn't bear it, and used crude paper money as currency. You can use gold and silver nuggets. Even the military advisers of the Military Aircraft Department are incomprehensible.

Of course, the military advisors did not take the liberty to participate, what they thought more about was that this paper money spent in vain was too easy to counterfeit, and this was not clearly pushing the Great Qin economy into the fire pit.

The economy of Rome has not collapsed here, and the economy of Great Qin is about to be collapsed by the whims of Emperor Hongwu.

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, the generals who led the troops, did not consider these cumbersome government affairs. They only think about one thing, when the emperor says who to beat, how to fight, in order to beat who is worse and what the emperor wants.

"The emperor has arrived!" The voice of the chief manager Dequan startled the ministers who were talking about how the emperor fainted.

The solemn music sounded, Qin Feng was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and in the midst of the sparse rattle of the crown bead curtain, he went up to the five-zhang high dragon platform. The heart said that this looks magnificent, but this has to climb five floors every day, and whoever climbs knows it.

He sat down here, under the dragon platform, in the main hall, the civil and military knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Zhongqing is flat."

"Long live thanks."

The generals here stood up one by one, and none of the civil officials on the opposite side stood up, all of them were blushing and thick-necked.

"What do you mean?" Qin Feng muttered in his heart, "Who is this fighting with?" ”

Seeing the first person in Confucianism, Kong Rong, the sage of Yan, climbed out first, hugged the courtboard, looked up, and looked excited, "Your Majesty, do you still want to issue paper money?" ”

Qin Feng frowned, and said in his heart, okay, this is a fight with me! "It's not paper money, it's different from burning paper. This is the banknote. For the living. ”

"Paper money for living people, this is even more amazing!" Kong Rong shuddered for a while. "The emperor let the living also use paper money, which reverses yin and yang. What kind of system. If the emperor wants to use this national policy, the minister will ...... die. ”

"The minister is willing to die!"

So, Wenchen was excited, and they all hugged the court board and wanted to die.

The military general was immediately dumbfounded, and said in his heart that these scholars are nervous? This banknote is a good national policy, and you don't have to go to the street with a big wooden box to buy things in the future, isn't it very good.

Wenchen danced with his hands, and the military advisor of the Military Aircraft Department hung his head. Kneel and don't speak.

Qin Feng's face trembled for a while, and his heart said that you are all dead, and if you co-author, I am the first faint monarch in the world, and you are all famous ministers in history!

There are no doors! Qin Feng waved his big hand, "If you want to die, wait a while and then die, kneel down first!" ”

The ministers were a little dumbfounded, thinking that if they were going to die on their side, the emperor would be relieved and take back the edict. I didn't expect to come and wait for the word that I would die again. Suddenly, they panicked, wiped the floor and crawled to the side and knelt.

The military division of the military aircraft department still hung his head and knelt without moving.

"Biography, Zhou Shan, Ma Jun, and Huang Chengyan went to the palace." Qin Feng said.

Not for a while. The three men came, saluted, and stood up.

Qin Feng asked Zhou Shan to take out the banknotes that had been made. Show it to the civil servants who are going to die or live. Let Ma Jun take it to the military ministers.

"Master Kong, alas. This is the new currency, the banknote. It's not paper money ...... spent in vain. Zhou Shan handed it over and said.

When Kong Rong took it and looked at it, a circle of heads suddenly stretched out from behind him and around. See also.

"Hey, this banknote is so beautiful and exquisitely made!"

"Ah, there is also the emperor's avatar!"

"Okay, good, when people spend money, they can think of the emperor's merits, not bad."

The ministers found that it was different from what they thought, it was not round, there was a square hole in the middle, and the paper money was shoddy. They had never seen a banknote, and they suddenly had the idea of spending it, and they began to accept it.

Zhao Yun took the banknotes, touched the lines on them, and exclaimed: "It's really good, with these banknotes, private transactions can be much more convenient." ”

"I'm afraid of making ......." Xu Shu, who was kneeling, reminded him.

So, Huang Chengyan personally explained, "Banknotes will never be counterfeit." Because of these masters involved in the production, each of them has a unique carving method, just like each leaf is different, even if others imitate, they can't imitate the essence, and they can know the truth at a glance. ”

Moreover, the emperor also thought of movable type printing. With this movable type printing, it was possible to print a wide variety of books on a large scale. In the past, it was not movable type printing, it was an engraving that could only be used once. In the past, every page printed needed to be engraved due to the different characters. It's a lot of work, and it's still a one-time job. ”

Jia Xu said loudly: "The emperor is wise, the previous books were all copied by hand, although after the technology of Yedu paper spread, the paper became cheaper, but it was also very difficult to print. So books are expensive and ordinary people can't afford them. With this movable type printing, everyone in the world can afford to buy books, and if they have their own books at home, they are called readers. ”

Kong Rong was overjoyed, then my Confucianism is not a disciple all over the world, but everyone in the world is a disciple, which is amazing. He climbed out again and said: "The movable type printing technology invented by the emperor can enable everyone in the world to have their own books and become real readers." The merit of the emperor's mission is greater than that of my ancestor Confucius, and the emperor is the true reincarnation of a saint and the education of all people. “

The ministers couldn't help but think that Confucius had enlightened all the people to become holy, and as soon as the emperor's national policy came out, he would compare Confucius to him.

"The emperor educates the world, and the saint is ...... in the world." The ministers bowed together.

Qin Feng laughed, and said in his heart: "This saint of mine is a 'big water'. He said to Kong Rong and the others who were kneeling: "Why, my ministers, don't seek death and life?" ”

"Ahh Kong Rong's old face turned red and said, "I just thought it was Bai Niannian's shoddy paper money, but it turned out that this banknote was not his paper money." The minister is stupid, and he will be wrong at the beginning, and the emperor will forgive him. ”

As soon as they saw that the Holy Father of Yan had all pleaded guilty, the rest of the people were all "crying and wiping away tears", and shouted: "The minister has been misled, please atone for the emperor." ”

Kong Rong was trembling for a while, and said in his heart that you little bastards, when something happens, ask the old man to take it, and when something happens, it all goes to the old man, because you still worship my ancestors every day.

However, there is no way, who let Kong Rong pick the head.

And the ministers couldn't help but think: "Your old man is the descendant of Confucius, and the Confucian sage is the gold medal for avoiding death, and the emperor will definitely not treat you like any old." We don't have a gold medal for avoiding death in this black cauldron, so you should carry it yourself. ”

In fact, Qin Feng also knew that Kong Rong and others were afraid that it was "that kind of shoddy money", which was easy to counterfeit and also lost the national body, so they opposed it. Since there was no objection here, Qin Feng also forgave them.

Later, the people used banknotes, and when they saw the head of Hongwu, they affectionately called it "Qin Datou". Later, when the younger generation grew up, they felt that although Qin Datou was kind, he did not respect the great old man Taizu enough. So he changed his name and called it "Grandpa Qin." This "Grandpa Qin" is very respectful, very kind, and very close to the people. So, it was used for a long, long time.

However, this was later. Qin Feng's side hasn't had time to release "Grandpa Qin" yet, and another problem has arisen. (To be continued......)
