Chapter 70 Golden Ticket
[Notepad opens.]

[In 198 AD, Huaiyin County, you improved the quality of the silk produced by improving mulberry trees. The silk produced by your silk weaving factory was very popular and extremely profitable.You decide to continue developing the silk weaving industry. 】

[Complete development tasks: develop industry]

[Task completion: 100% (excess)]

[Based on the completion of the task, the following entries will be awarded]

[Entry [-]: With a roulette wheel (green); Entry [-]: Tiangong Kaiwu (blue)]

[Existing entries: encrypted (green); golden ticket master (green); with roulette (green); Tiangong Kaiwu (blue)]

[Combinable entries: encrypted golden ticket master; encrypted Tiangong Kaiwu; golden ticket master with roulette; Tiangong Kaiwu with roulette. 】

[Please select a combined entry or temporarily save the entry.If you choose to temporarily store entries, the newly obtained entries will randomly replace the existing entries. 】

Liu Xuan carefully considered the combination of these entries. The golden ticket master was obtained by completing the task of repaying debts.

Liu Xuan guessed that this thing would probably be used in the loan business.
And the blue entry I got this time is a gift from Heaven, which is even better than Nong Sangji.

It records many inventions and creations in ancient China and is called the encyclopedia of Chinese crafts in the 17th century.

However, Liu Xuan feels that the current two combinable entries cannot be perfectly combined with Tiangong Kaiwu.

Liu Xuan thought for a while and chose to temporarily save the entry.

In the autumn of 198 AD, after the summer grain harvest was completed, war began to spread across the Central Plains.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao each assembled heavy troops in Guandu, ready for war at any time.

Lu Bu and Liu Bei fought from spring to autumn.

Because Lu Bu purchased grain and borrowed military pay from Liu Xuan, he finally gained an advantage on the battlefield.
All Liu Bei's troops were compressed in Shouchun,

Lu Bu stationed troops at Feishui Crossing, cutting off the connection between Shouchun and Xiaopei.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before they win Shouchun and Xiaopei.

Yuan Shao of Hebei also began to clean up the rear area to prevent a fire in the backyard during the battle with Cao Cao.

After the autumn harvest, Yuan Shao gathered most of the troops north of Yecheng and south of Youzhou.
Launched a fierce offensive against Gongsun Zan.

Compared with the wars in the Central Plains and the North, Huaiyin seemed peaceful.

All the refugees who gathered because of wars and natural disasters were taken in by Liu Xuan.
Placed on the vast land from the south of Huaiyin to the north of Sheyang,
By the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire village from Huaiyin to Sheyang has regained its vitality.

The town also began to be crowded with people.

The newly reclaimed land was quickly turned into fertile farmland through the soil improvement method in Nongsangji Yao.

Under Liu Xuan's plan, fertile fields and vegetable fields were laid out outside the town like a chessboard.

Through the improvement of seed boxes, various seasonal vegetables can be

Both output and quality have been dramatically improved.

Such huge output made prices extremely low under Liu Xuan's rule.

The living standards of the people are already several levels higher than those in surrounding areas.

In this way, Huaiyin County can attract refugees faster.

This provided enough labor for the rapid expansion of the silk weaving industry.

Unknowingly, Liu Xuan had more and more five-baht coins in his treasury, and his lending business expanded rapidly.

But problems also arise.

On this day, Jia Xu and Zhao Liniang came to report to Liu Xuan with their financial statements as usual.

"Lord, after the Yanxing incident, we have optimized the loan review, and now the bad debt rate is basically controlled at less than [-]%."

"But there are a few merchants with bad debts in the past two months who are a bit special."

Liu Xuan asked, "What kind of special method?"

Jia Xu rarely stopped smiling.
"These merchants borrowed money from our bank, but they were intercepted by bandits on the way back. One merchant was even killed, so these loans must be difficult to repay."

"Now many merchants ask us to deliver the money directly to their doorsteps to avoid being robbed on the road. Although this is a solution, it is too expensive for us."

"Our people may be robbed by bandits when transporting coins, so each large-amount loan must be protected by a team of people."

Liu Xuan replied decisively,

"This plan will definitely not work. What we can do now is to arrange military escorts when delivering coins to each bank."

Jia Xu said: "But if this is the case, there will definitely be more and more things like this in the future. As far as I know, some bandits even sent people to keep an eye on our bank outside. Once someone pulls a big box out, they will Robbery along the way.”

"This is indeed a problem," Liu Xuan couldn't help but have a headache.

A current five-baht coin weighs about three grams.

One thousand dollars weighs six pounds.It costs almost 30 yuan to get a ton.
It had to be pulled by a horse-drawn carriage.

For example, the 300 million that Lu Bu borrowed last time was enough to pull more than a dozen carriages. If there was no military protection, there was a high probability that they would be robbed by bandits.

Unless the five baht coins are exchanged for gold, or a lighter equivalent.

"equivalent?"

Liu Xuan thought of this and suddenly slapped his head,
"There is."

With a thought,
[Notepad opens.]

"Composition: Crypto's Golden Ticket Master"

[Successful combination, obtain the encrypted golden ticket master (green)]

[Encrypted Golden Ticket Master: The engraving plate used to print golden tickets cannot be forged because of its encrypted texture and anti-counterfeiting marks. 】

This is it.

With a thought, Liu Xuan took the golden ticket master in the space and looked at it.
I saw a palm-sized engraving appeared in my hand.
There are various complex protruding lines on it,

What's even more peculiar is that the lines and words on this carving are not fixed, but can be movable and adjusted.

Where the gold ticket displays the amount, the minimum is one thousand and the maximum is one hundred thousand, which can be adjusted arbitrarily.

And every time it is printed, the ticket number on the golden ticket will change.

Liu Xuan made up his mind and said to Jia Xu,

"Wen He doesn't need to worry. I've already taken care of this matter. It will take as long as one month or as little as ten days. I will have a way to solve the matter."

After hearing this, Jia Xu had a smile on his face again.

"Now that my lord has a solution, there is nothing to worry about."

"As for the bandits who are currently robbing money, I have sent Cheng Hu to various banks, pretending to be merchants lending money, and pulling the money to remote places outside the city. This should attract a lot of bandits. By then, we will kill a group of them. The bandits will not dare to come out in a short time."

Liu Xuan nodded. Now that Jia Xu has taken action, it will definitely be difficult for the bandits.

Half a month later, Liu Xuan finally worked out the first batch of golden tickets.

Using high-quality paper as the material and printing the encrypted gold stamp master, they became the first batch of banknotes in this era.

Each golden ticket has an individual ticket number and the amount ranges from one thousand to one hundred thousand.

The several anti-counterfeiting features on the tickets were ingenious. Liu Xuan took these golden tickets and asked the skilled craftsmen in Huaiyin to copy them.

As a result, no one can copy even a single corner.

Liu Xuan gained confidence and said to Zhao Liniang:
"From now on, this golden ticket will be equivalent to five baht. As long as our merchants take the golden ticket we made, they can go to our banks in various places to exchange for the same amount of five baht."
