Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 559 Zhu Youxiao: "Fuck, these monks are really rich!"

The monks have no income, and there is no oil to squeeze.

In this case, if they can continue to be monks, it can only explain one problem, they are really devout believers.

There is nothing more to say about this kind of person.

As for the temple, many abbots and presiding officers were all crying. They watched as the golden Buddha was pulled away from the temple. Although it was replaced with a stone Buddha, how does the stone compare with gold?

Hall of Qinzheng

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng is reporting to work.

"Currently, all the gold has been placed in Daming Bank!" Lu Xiangsheng said slowly: "It is estimated that the value of these gold is about 3000 billion!"

"what?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes widened immediately, and he said with an expression of disbelief, "About 3000 billion?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, which was equivalent to three quarters of Daming's annual tax revenue.

These monks are too rich, right?

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu on the side smiled and said: "It should be that the value of gold is relatively high. Now that I, Ming, have increased exchanges with overseas countries, the inflow of silver every year is an astonishing number. Now, this silver has begun to gradually decrease. Depreciation, but the value of gold is constantly increasing!"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "So, at least we can print more than 3000 billion Daming banknotes this year?"

Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said: "It should be possible, but, Your Majesty, we still need to prevent fraud!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I'm also thinking about this issue!"

But Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, speaking of this, some time ago, the Academy of Science and Technology produced not a single thing!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "What is it?"

"microscope!"

Zhang Haogu laughed, and then, he asked the eunuch to bring an instrument and said: "Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, looked down through the microscope, and couldn't help but let out a "huh" sound, he clearly saw some strange things.

This thing is a cell.

However, Zhu Youxiao obviously didn't know about this.

He just felt extraordinarily fresh, as if he had seen something he hadn't seen before.

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, this is a microscope. With this thing, the banknotes we make will not be so easy to imitate!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu carefully took out a thing as thin as a cicada's wing from the tray on one side, and carefully placed it in the copper plate under the instrument.

Zhu Youxiao had aroused his curiosity, and then his eyes fell on the instrument, through the lens in the long copper tube.

This is a long needle.

Very thin!

The naked eye is almost indistinguishable, but under the microscope, it can be clearly seen, this special size is too thick
A few unsuitable things appeared in Zhu Youxiao's head, "thick" and a bit "bumpy".

Zhu Youxiao is a bit of a prickly ass-open your eyes!

Zhang Haogu continued: "Your Majesty, before our banknotes were used to prevent counterfeiting, they were mainly used for two purposes, one is the seal, and the other is the paper material!"

After the seal was taken out, it was thrown directly towards the ground, causing cracks.

This kind of crack that fell out is purely natural and almost irreproducible.

The other is the material of the paper.

According to Zhang Haogu's idea, it is best to get waterproof paper.

In the past two years, Zhang Haogu forced a group of people to study and provide ideas.

Last year, waterproof paper was still produced, but mass production was still difficult, so Zhang Haogu ordered the craftsmen to study the method of mass production by themselves.

The last solution is to severely crack down on counterfeit banknotes, find a counterfeit banknote production site, and kill a group until no one produces it.

However, as long as the profits are large, some people will still take risks.

The best way is to continue to improve your skills.

Now, what Zhang Haogu wants to do is to work hard on the adjustment and engraving.

To make an engraving, a thinner carving knife is required.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to develop a microscope, so that the vision can be magnified all the time, so that more delicate things can be produced.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, and the more he looked at it, the more exquisite he felt.

If printing Ming Dynasty banknotes, put a little effort into the ink, and use such engraving in the subtleties, the problem of counterfeit banknotes can be easily solved.

Anti-counterfeiting!

After all, Zhu Youxiao was a carpenter, and his hands-on ability is very strong. His brain is still very good, and he immediately said: "I personally made this engraving!"

Strictly speaking, engraving is a carpenter's work.

He has been going big all the time, but he really didn't expect that he could start from a small place.

Lu Xiangsheng on the other side didn't want to talk anymore.

This dog emperor always seems to be a little bit idle.

Zhu Youxiao is really eager to try. Only with this microscope can he make the most exquisite engraving in the world, and the many details on this banknote will not be imitated.

In this way, in the next few decades, the Daming banknotes can basically be stabilized. Even if someone wants to forge them, the manpower, material resources and skills required have already exceeded the value of the banknotes themselves.

Zhang Haogu has already started to plan. Next, Daming will export not only porcelain and raw silk, but also Daming banknotes.

Leaving aside what is going on in Western Europe, at the very least, the whole of Asia and Southeast Asia must use Daming Banknotes.

If Daming banknotes want to travel freely in the world, they must be extremely difficult to imitate. Once a large number of people imitate them, it will inevitably have a very bad impact. It is okay in the territory of Daming, and one will be killed if found, but what about outside of Daming?
If you don't improve your technical level, someone will always risk decapitation.

Zhu Youxiao restrained his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "Okay, very good, haha, this big Ming treasure can be worry-free now!"

"These golden Buddhas don't need to be melted down for the time being, they are placed directly in the bank, and everything belongs to the state property!"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while: "We should continue to sell Daming banknotes. I plan to increase the construction of roads in Shanxi and Shaanxi. The more unimpeded it is, the food transportation will not be a problem. Even if someone rebels, My army can also come in the morning and evening!"

"Your majesty is holy!" Zhang Haogu smiled, and continued: "If we talk about it, the gods and Buddhas in the sky still take care of our Daming!"

"How to say?" Zhu Youxiao was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Haogu spread his hands and said, "Imagine, Your Majesty, the imperial court is short of money to build roads, and this group of monks took out all the wealth they have accumulated for hundreds of years. This is not my Buddha's mercy, what is it?" Buddha is merciful?"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned, and couldn't help saying: "It makes sense!"
