The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 113 Is Fang Xiaoru crazy?
Chen Jingke was surprised when he looked at this consistent treasure note with a purple main body.

Did you get the engraving out so quickly?
What he gave Zhu Biao was a tutorial on gravure printing, which was still new in Ming Dynasty.

However, when I think of the text "The Story of Nuclear Boat" that I learned in my previous life, I feel that it makes sense.

Miniature carving has existed since ancient times, and the craftsmanship has reached an extremely high level.

What the royal family lacks most is this kind of top craftsman.

It’s not surprising to find a few more people to come over and get the engravings out.

Gravure printing first appeared in the [-]th century. Its advantages are thick ink layer, three-dimensional effect, rich layers, full color, and its own anti-counterfeiting properties.

Moreover, the service life is much longer than that of ordinary printing plates, so there is no need to replace the printing plates frequently.

The disadvantages are that the printing plate production cycle is long, the cost is high, and the consumption of ink is greater.

In previous generations, many of the patterns printed in large quantities, such as product packaging, were gravure printed.

Banknote printing uses the same gravure printing technology.

Now that we’ve got acid-free paper and color-changing ink, we can’t miss gravure printing.

I picked up the new version of the banknote and touched it with my hand. I felt that the ink-stained area was uneven.

That's right, it's the characteristic of gravure printing.

I flipped through the book in my hand again, and sure enough I saw banknotes of other denominations at the back, all of which were intaglio printing.

Drawing on the experience of previous generations, different main colors are used for different denominations.

It is always purple, one hundred coins is red, fifty coins is green, twenty coins is cyan, ten coins is brown, and five coins is gray.

In terms of style, it is almost the same as the banknotes of previous generations.

It's just that the patterns and textures on it are not as detailed as those in the previous life.

After all, in my previous life, I could compose pictures using a computer, carve them with various precision machines, and achieve the ultimate in details.

But for now, this version of the banknote is definitely hundreds of years ahead of the world, and no one can imitate it within a hundred years.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his expression and laughed: "Haha, everything is ready now, just waiting for your banknotes."

Chen Jingke also said happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty will usher in a new era."

Zhu Yuanzhang especially liked hearing this sentence, and his eyes narrowed with joy:

"Hey, this is a great achievement for you, so we have to think carefully about how to reward you."

Chen Jingke said modestly: "Serving your Majesty is my duty. I dare not ask for rewards."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his attitude and said: "We have clear rewards and punishments... I will go down and rest for a few days, and I will discuss with the prince how to reward you."

Chen Jingke said knowingly: "Yes, I will retire."

After saying that, he exited Qianqing Palace and headed to his residence.

After he left, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the acid-free paper and kept stroking it with a crazy expression on his face.

It’s great, I no longer have to worry about counterfeit money.

It's a pity that we can no longer issue treasure banknotes casually in the future.

How much and how to distribute depends on the opinions of the Monetary Bank of China.

But this is good, as it can avoid the proliferation and devaluation of treasure banknotes...

Well, what is it called, inflation.

Gee, I really don’t know who came up with this word, it’s so vivid.

We must set a rule in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" that future generations are not allowed to issue treasures indiscriminately, and those who violate it will not be allowed to enter the Ancestral Temple after death.

Hmm... the punishment of not being allowed to enter the Ancestral Temple is a bit serious. It is estimated that future generations will violate this rule in the name of filial piety.

Then you are not allowed to take a temple name. This punishment is neither big nor small.

And this is still the rule of the Han Dynasty. Only emperors who have made great contributions to the world can be given temple names, while emperors who have done bad things have no temple names but only posthumous titles.

Although civil servants can be annoying sometimes, they like to use etiquette to pressure people.

If there are future generations who really do not respect the ancestral precepts, they will definitely use the "Emperor Ming Ancestor Precepts" to make their case.

No matter how disdainful the descendants are, for the sake of their posthumous reputation, they will not easily distribute treasure money indiscriminately.

In just a short time, there was another provision in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions".I just don’t know how big of an effect it can have.

And Chen Jingke, this is also his first achievement, how should he be rewarded?

It would be nice if he were a few years older. At worst, we could make an exception and let him marry a princess and take him home as his wife.

But he is only 14 years old, it is too early to marry a wife.

He can continue to express his kindness to his parents, but the treasure money is of great importance. Once the news leaks out, someone may be targeting his parents.

Therefore, this credit cannot be awarded openly...

Hey, what a hassle.

Forget it, we are old and can no longer think about such complicated things.

Biao'er is in his prime, so let him consider it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt refreshed and the sky was brighter.

Nothing in the world could trouble him anymore.

Pick up the banknote again, put it to your ear and shake it gently.

"Wow..." A crisp voice sounded, like the most beautiful music in the world.
-
Chen Jingke returned to the side hall and found many people gathered in the courtyard.

Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Shiyu, Zhu Shiyun and others were playing in the garden.

Zhu Xiongying, King Zhu Chun of Shu, King Zhu Bai of Hunan, Zhu Jixi and others were sitting in the corridor chatting.

Zhu Xiongying saw him first and said in surprise: "Jing Ke, are you back?"

Everyone else also looked over and said hello.

Everyone is already an acquaintance.

Chen Jingke first greeted a few people and then said, "Will the main hall have a rest today?"

Zhu Xiongying said: "Well, are you done with your work there?"

"Well, I'm done."

Chen Jingke didn't want to say more, so he simply replied and then asked:
"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Jixi said with some gossip: "Let's talk about Fang Xiaoru, the editor of Hanlin Academy."

Chen Jingke raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what happened to him?"

Zhu Jixi smiled and said: "I heard that he is crazy."

"Ah?" Chen Jingke exclaimed and looked at the others, trying to confirm whether this was really the case.

Zhu Chun nodded and said regretfully: "I heard that he is a great talent. It's a pity..."

Zhu Bai explained: "I can't say he's crazy. He's just like a different person. He's crazy and sloppy."

I'm going to go ahead and tell this guy my inner demons.

Chen Jingke couldn't help but murmur in his heart and asked: "Do you know what exactly is going on?"

Zhu Xiongying explained the matter: "...After he went to the Hanlin Academy, he began to collect "Bamboo Book Chronicles". When others asked him why, he would not tell him."

"It started to become abnormal half a month ago. It's crazy."

"Everything you say is false. We have all been deceived by the ancients, and they also said many bad things about the sages..."

"And he was so brazen that he wanted to create a new era and so on..."

Come on, I really revealed my inner demons to myself.

Chen Jingke was speechless.

Why did I tell you so much just to teach you this?

What a waste of my saliva.

But when he thought that it was all because of himself that he became like this, he felt a little guilty.

No, I need to see him and have a good talk with him.

Regardless of whether I can lead him back to the right path, at least I tried it and it can reduce some guilt.
