What Bi Ziyan said is not unreasonable.

Daming dragon yuan banknotes have a very high degree of secrecy in paper, printing and other links.

And almost has used a batch of the best quality natural mineral pigments of Daming for printing.

The machinery developed by several departments and bureaus encompasses a large number of technologies that are hundreds of years ahead of this era, and the multi-axis printing of copper plates alone is the technology found in the Royal Library.

If you want to imitate the Great Ming Dragon Yuan, I'm afraid you only have yourself.

But Zhu Youzhen frowned and looked out the window.

Since the mass production of glass, all the windows in the palace have been replaced by large pieces of transparent glass by Zhu Youzhen, and this feeling of clarity and cleanliness makes him feel very good.

The summer sun is dizzy despite some sunburners.

"I thought... Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to print banknotes, and it was not just as simple as it seemed. ”

"The minister is stupid.." Bi Ziyan hurriedly said.

"So... I'm ready to help them! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Youzhen's mouth, and he secretly thought in his heart: "This is a great thing to send to the door in person!" ”

.....

Next.

At the behest of Zhu Youzhen.

Although Bi Ziyan was still reluctant to talk more with a straight face, in the eyes of the envoys of the Japanese State, he was able to meet such an important minister as Daming.

It's already an amazing thing.

"Master Bi... About the Tokugawa family's desire to buy the technology to print banknotes. Does Your Majesty have an answer?"

The Japanese people went straight to the point, which made Bi Ziyan frown.

said: "Haven't you thought about this kind of thing? How could Your Majesty agree that if one day, you take the technology provided by our Daming and print the same dragon yuan banknotes as our Daming, then wouldn't Daming have to pay for your counterfeit money! ”

Bi Ziyan's words were loud and loud, like spring thunder.

The envoy hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no... We're not going to think like that."

"That's not for sure!" Bi Ziyan, who snorted coldly, spoke again: "So, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter..."

Seeing this, the envoys of the Japanese State hurriedly took out a dozen dragon dollar banknotes of the Ming Empire from their arms.

silently sent into Bi Ziyan's cuffs.

It is as if you feel the thickness of the banknote in the cuffs.

Bi Ziyan turned his head and showed a smile.

"This thing.. Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will come back to you! ”

"Yes, yes, yes... Please! ”

As soon as he went out, Bi Ziyan took out the dozen banknotes...

"Ten thousand dragon dollars. It's quite generous! ”

Then he handed it over to the Dongchang factory guard on the side and walked towards the palace.

......

It's the next day again.

Bi Ziyan was invited again and came to a well-known teahouse in Beijing.

Holding the good dragon well transported from Jiangnan, Bi Ziyan said unhurriedly to the envoys of the Japanese State on the side: "Next, what this official said, you can't say a word outside when you leave this door. ”

The envoys of the Japanese State were also human spirits, and they immediately understood this sentence.

Except for one leader, everyone else went out one after another, and there was a long distance...

I only heard Bi Ziyan wave his hand and signal the envoys of the Japanese State to get closer to him.

After hurriedly approaching, the envoy of the Japanese State heard Bi Ziyan say: "The technology of printing banknotes is now a top secret of the imperial court, and the machinery is not to be considered, so this official has thought of another way for you." ”

When the envoy heard this, he thought there was no hope.

But after hearing the following words, he hurriedly said: "Master Bi.. Please give me some pointers! ”

"Aren't you Tokugawa masters just trying to print the banknotes of the Wa Kingdom! Since there is no way to transport the technology back, it would be better for the official to seal it, as long as it is in a style that is exclusive to you, and then it will be secretly transported back by your Tokugawa shogunate..."

After that, Bi Ziyan raised his eyebrows mysteriously.

While the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom was pondering, he said calmly: "This matter, this official can only do this, no matter how many ways he can, I'm afraid he can't think of it!" ”

"If you feel bad, the silver you gave to the official can also be returned to you!"

！！！

After dealing with Ming officials for so many years, the envoys of the Japanese State knew that for most officials, the money they gave was regardless of the outcome of the matter.

You can't get it back.

Once you want to come back, it's not just that you won't be able to do anything else in the future.

I guess you can't even get in the door, and you have to speak ill of you in front of other officials.

The road ahead will be difficult.

Hurriedly said: "The ministers thank Master Bi, and today there is still a saying... I really can't decide on this matter, and I will leave for the Wa Kingdom on the same day, and I will make a decision after I meet the head of my family. ”

In the end, the envoys of the Japanese state did not make a decision.

But seeing this, Bi Ziyan added fuel to the fire and said: "In order to be able to print this banknote for you without hiding from the world, this official has not bothered.."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After saying that, this time there was more silver.

Two dozen banknotes were wrapped in brown paper and set aside.

Raising his eyebrows, Bi Ziyan changed his smile and said: "I hope that your Tokugawa family master can make a decision as soon as possible, if the people involved in this matter leave, they may not still be able to act!" ”

"Today, I will leave for China!"

"If you can settle it, by the way, find a painter and draw up the style of your Japanese banknotes... Bringing it with you can save you a lot of time. ”

"Yes! Trouble! ”

After nodding, Bi Ziyan continued to drink tea and chatted for a few words before turning around and leaving.

The envoys of the Japanese kingdom did not dare to delay.

Got on a merchant ship of the Wa Kingdom and went back again to restore the Tokugawa family.

...

Bi Ziyan, who was sitting in the Daming Royal Taxation Bureau, shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time... I'm afraid I'm going to kill this little old man in Tokugawa Iemitsu! ”

"Banknotes. Hehehe! ”

At this moment, someone from below came to report and said, "Master Bi... I've heard there's trouble over there."

Bi Ziyan's demeanor did not change, and he said slowly: "What trouble can the household department have?"

"I heard that a large amount of grain is on the market this year. The historic decline in grain prices in the whole Ming Dynasty has caused the people to be unwilling to hand over the dragon yuan anymore and change the grain."

"Didn't it all be food before... What's wrong? ”

The subordinate officials said one after another: "But now! The money issued to all the officials and ministers of the imperial court is all Ming Longyuan! ”

Almost instantly, Bi Ziyan understood the problem.

With the advent of the autumn harvest season, Daming will have a large amount of grain harvest this year.

"Xu Guangqi is pitting the household! Quick, take me over, I'm afraid this will be a mess of the household! ”

Hurriedly got up.

Bi Ziyan did not dare to delay, after all, the food problem and the issue of officials' salaries were both major matters related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, and no one could afford to take care of it once something went wrong.
