Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 852 It's Not a Problem

Du Jinning searched for the anti-counterfeiting technology of later banknotes in his mind, and said: "My sister opened a printing workshop, and she also has some experience in printing. I think these experiences can also be used in anti-counterfeiting."

"Oh, please tell me." Zhao Yu's eyes lit up.

"First of all, the emperor chose a kind of paper that is extremely difficult to make and has a particularly complicated process as the special paper for the banknotes of the Song Dynasty. This kind of paper is only used for printing banknotes, and no private purchase is allowed. Secondly, the printing house can study more Color overprinting, that is, overprinting with red, blue, black and other colors; in addition, you can also design a section of micro-engraving with more and more complicated text to be printed on it. There are hundreds of words."

She thought about it: "Chenmei heard that there was a method of printmaking printing in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of printmaking printing is also called watermark calligraphy and painting, which integrates painting, engraving and printing, and shows the rhyme of brush strokes and ink according to the principle of ink penetration. This method can be applied to the printing of banknotes."

"In short, these methods are used together to increase the difficulty of preventing counterfeit banknotes, which can largely eliminate the occurrence of counterfeit banknotes."

"Okay, these methods are good." Zhao Yu became excited, "I said you have a way. Some time ago, I sent people to the bank to learn scriptures, and there was no better way. After all, when printing banknotes, it was printed by the bank. The method of bank notes."

When they heard that Zhao Huo called Du Jinning to discuss the matter, several veteran officials still didn't take it seriously.They feel that Du Jinning is talented in rice cultivation, which does not mean that he is proficient in government affairs.

But after hearing Du Jinning's several methods, they were all dumbfounded.

During this period of time, they also used a lot of brains to solve the problem of counterfeit banknotes, but they were powerless.But he didn't think that this problem seemed to be no problem in front of Du Jinning, and he solved the matter in one, two, three, four.

At such a young age, I am still a girl, and I don't know how people's brains grow. How can they come up with methods that they can't even think of when they are decades old?

Remembering that after the aristocratic family power was destroyed by Zhao Wei, it was Du Jinning's idea to let go of the way and the prosperity of the economy that Zhao Wei mentioned repeatedly, and it was also her idea of ​​sailing during the palace examination, these veteran officials felt very complicated.

Hong Huazhong, the political counselor of Zhongshu Province who wanted to betroth his granddaughter to Qi Muyuan, but was ruthlessly rejected, was still a little dissatisfied, and asked, "Then tell me, how to solve the problem of frequent crimes caused by the flow of people?"

Hearing this question, not only Zhao Huo and Qi Bokun who defended Du Jinning frowned, but other ministers also showed disapproval.

They discussed this issue countless times and mentioned it many times in the early court, but they couldn't think of any good solution.

The banknote anti-counterfeiting issue is a technical issue. Ask Du Jinning and she may still know.But the problem of floating population crime is a social problem, too complicated, even the old man who has been an official for a lifetime can't solve it collectively. Ask someone a teenage baby, this old man Hong is too bullying.

Although Zhao Huo and Qi Bokun were somewhat dissatisfied with Hong Huazhong, they did not open their mouths to rescue Du Jinning.They also want to know if Du Jinning, who has a smart mind, will really come up with a good solution.

"Let me think about it." Du Jinning bowed his head in thought.

Although later generations have mature methods that can be copied, but she can't just say it without thinking.

"This problem is too complicated. Hundreds of us old guys who have been officials for decades can't solve it. It's normal if you can't think of a solution, Jin Ning. Don't feel pressure." Qi Bokun said.

This is obviously to protect the granddaughter-in-law.

Du Jinning raised his head and smiled gratefully at Qi Bokun: "Grandpa Qi, I understand."

She looked at Zhao He: "I don't know if this method is feasible."

Zhao Yu knew that Du Jinning would not just talk about it.Since she said that there is a way, then this way must be more reliable.

He suddenly became excited and leaned forward: "It's okay, just tell me and listen."

Du Jinning said: "Because the road guides were opened, the people's movement around was not controlled, and crimes were not investigated and punished in time, which made the crime rate high. Then, let's solve the problem at the root. It will get better."

"Solve the problem from the root cause?" Hong Huazhong's mouth revealed a hint of sarcasm, "Isn't it possible to use the guide to restrain people again? Then what's the point of us doing this?"

Qi Bokun was seriously dissatisfied with Hong Huazhong this time.He didn't even realize that the old guy's eyes were as small as the tip of a needle, so he was really wrong.

But before he could defend himself, Du Jinning shook his head and said, "Of course not."

She cupped her hands towards Zhao He and said: "Actually, the root cause is that the household registration is in the hands of Lizheng and the government office. Without opening the way, the common people don't even have an ID card in their hands. We can definitely get an ID card for the common people. When people go to other places to stay in inns, the inn will register them; when they go to a bank to deposit and withdraw money, it is stipulated that they must use their ID cards to deposit and withdraw; These traces are easy to check."

Hearing this method, everyone pondered and pondered its feasibility.

"But it's too difficult to create an ID card for everyone? What if those people create a fake ID card?" An official asked a question.

"Didn't you just mention the banknote anti-counterfeiting technology? Just use that to solve the anti-counterfeiting problem. The process of making ID cards is really complicated, but it takes two or three years to save one province after another, and assign tasks to each level. Kung fu can always be done. Now, it can be tried out in the three provinces where the road is opened. As for the cost of making ID cards, the people can pay part of it themselves, and the local tax can be used to subsidize it."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this method might really work.

Zhao He was not satisfied with Du Jinning's performance.

Regardless of whether Du Jinning is a man or a woman, and what her status is, as long as she can solve problems for the court and come up with a good solution that no one else can think of, then she is an indispensable figure in Song Dynasty.

At least in his opinion, Du Jinning is better than many ministers.

"Okay, just try what you said just now. If it works, I will reward you a lot." Zhao Yu said.

Everyone looked at Qi Bokun with envy.

Having such a granddaughter-in-law, not to mention how much credit she can make for the Qi family and Qi Muyuan, at least the prosperity of the Qi family is just around the corner.

Zhao He asked again: "Can the rice problem be solved? When will rice be grown?"

"It can be solved. Rice seeds will be cultivated in two seasons next year, and they can be promoted within a certain range in the next year." Du Jinning said, "But if you want to grow high-yielding rice, you may not be able to save the seeds yourself. You have to spend money to buy seeds every season."
