People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 403 Whoever dares to print banknotes will die! !

Princess Ning'an was very pleased with the advance amounts made by the Baochao Division.

She really didn't expect that others had already thought of it before her.

And she finally understood how much effort Chen Han had put into him.

Chen Han once told her about this.

She must have a decent job that makes her feel satisfied and allows her to realize her value.

At first, many people were very confused about her leaving the capital.

You have to know that when she was in Beijing, she was already one of the major shareholders of an underground money house. She had a bright future and could make a lot of money.

Even if she had a son, she would be able to live well.

But she still resolutely chose to follow Chen Han to the current Ningbo.

Take root in this place where Chen Han once slaughtered a large number of wealthy people with tough means.

When Princess Ning'an first arrived, she was discriminated against by many people.

Many local people are very dissatisfied with Chen Han.

Everyone harbored resentment towards Chen Han.

When they heard that Princess Ning'an was sent by Chen Han, they became very hostile towards her.

She also encountered a lot of difficulties when she built the predecessor of the Imperial Bank here.

Even many of her former partners in Jiangnan were very confused when they heard that she came here.

I even persuaded her not to stay in this place any longer.

If all the hatred that Chen Han left here were imposed on a woman like her, would she be able to bear it?
Princess Ning'an, however, firmly stood on Chen Han's side.

Because she felt that everything Chen Han did was right.

Precisely because she had lived in Jiangnan, she understood how hateful the big landlords in Jiangnan were.

So she didn't listen to her friends' advice.

Even when many people told her that her life might be in danger if she continued like this, she didn't care.

There is even real danger to one's life.

Because there were several times when she not only received threatening letters with letters sent from outside.

Many times when he was traveling in a carriage, there would be inexplicable people who would drive the carriage recklessly towards him.

Faced with such a threat, Princess Ning An still insisted on standing on Chen Han's side.

Not only because of her dependence on Chen Han, but what made her feel it was worth it was the public support and votes Chen Han left in the Jiangnan area.

Of course, some people think that Chen Han is a devil.

However, when the people here heard that Princess Ning'an was helping Chen Han, they immediately showed a lot of sincerity.

People are willing to work for him and give him guidance.

Willing to give her some advice.

There were even many people who generously took out their long-treasured carpentry skills to help her do anything.

This is what Princess Ning An saw, the compensation from the Jiangnan area to Chen Han.

This made Princess Ning'an more determined.

Now that she has come to the Baochaodu Tizhusi, she has discovered that Chen Han does everything very perfectly, so she doesn't have much worries.

Just like now, when she thought about the construction of the Ming Empire Bank and came to the Baochao Dujiu Si, the supervisor knew what he was going to do.

She was immediately informed that three hundred craftsmen who had printed banknotes had already been sent to Ningbo by Chen Han, and were waiting to work with her.

Princess Ning An was very moved. "I never thought that the Duke would think about every step so clearly. It seems that he had this idea in mind long ago when he asked me to run the Imperial Bank for him in Jiangnan."

Li Hai said: "Although I don't know what the Duke is going to do, I can feel that the Duke is trying to make the people live a better life.

In order to make the financial affairs of our Ming Dynasty more perfect, we have actually done a lot of things.

Not only when he was fighting outside, he was also thinking about transporting more gold and silver back to the Ming Dynasty.

We are also thinking about building a real maintenance system that everyone can rest assured.

In fact, everyone saw the Duke's thoughts and felt sorry for him.

Such a young man has done so much for the court and the people.

The reason why we are so motivated is that we have a strong guide like the Duke who is at the front helping us solve all problems and overcome all difficulties.

What he left us is a well-structured framework, and we just need to add things to it.

Most of the creative ideas were done by him.

To put it bluntly, we are nothing but puppets.

But even if we are just a puppet, we feel it is worth it to be able to do these things with the Duke.

Now, when the brothers think about what they want to do, they feel that only by following the Duke can they truly realize their ideals.

We feel that it is worth it to follow the Duke for our whole life."

When thinking of this, what Li Hai actually thought of was the admiring looks in his brothers' eyes when they mentioned the Duke.

The look that shows a willingness to fight for the Duke until death.

Even if there is no high salary or promotion, everyone is willing to do it.

Not to mention Chen Han, in order to allow his brothers to share the joys and sorrows with him, he also gave them very high salaries.

Even ensure the best arrangements for their families.

There were many brothers who had children at home, and their children were directly arranged to go to schools specially established by the court.

The elderly in their hometown were also taken care of by the local treasure banknote withdrawal department.

These considerations made the people below feel very touched.

So they had no complaints about following Chen Han.

Even if they were asked to die, they were willing.

This is Chen Han’s personal charm.

How is a person's authority accumulated? It's not because you are given an official position that people will be convinced by you.

It's more about what you have to do to make the people under you feel it's worth it.

Just like Chen Han, he will do more than just assign tasks to you.

It's more about taking better care of your family.

So that you have no worries.

Allowing you to see the ascending channel.

So that you can get a salary that is enviable enough.

Make you proud and proud.

Let you be spiritually satisfied.

This is the real motivation why Chen Han can hold such an important position in the hearts of so many Jinyiwei brothers, and even why these brothers are willing to sacrifice their lives and work for Chen Han in just a few months.

This is also the reason why Chen Han can be successful now.

Princess Ning'an felt very warm in her heart after listening to Li Hai's words.

Chen Han is her man.

He is the man she admires most in her heart.

Listening to Li Hai praising her man like this.

Listening to Li Hai's belief in his man.

She felt honored.

There is a full feeling of happiness.

This might be the reason why he was willing to work with Chen Han. Li Hai took Princess Ning An into the backyard of the Baochao Duzhisi.

There are already many craftsmen busy here.

What they were busy with was not printing banknotes, but maintaining the printing tools.

Looking at such a complete range of printing machines and those professional craftsmen, Princess Ning An finally felt relieved.

But soon Li Hai raised his doubts.

"In fact, after the craftsmen arrived, we asked the craftsmen how to carry out anti-counterfeiting work."

The craftsmen also felt that this was a big problem.

Because even after the treasure notes were printed, many people forged them.

The problem of counterfeiting has always existed.

Even though the imperial court introduced very harsh punishments, the profits were so huge that many people took risks.

"If we encounter the prevalence of counterfeit banknotes when we print new banknotes, it will be a blow to morale.

So I wonder if Your Highness Princess has obtained some printing technology for banknote anti-counterfeiting from the Duke."

As soon as this was mentioned, the technical manager of the craftsmen came forward.

He is in his fifties and has worked in the Baochao Bureau for more than thirty years.

Not to mention that even the Baochao has been withdrawn from circulation.

However, in order to abide by the so-called ancestral system, the imperial court still printed a lot of treasure banknotes every year.

These treasure notes were no longer circulated in the market, but were given as rewards to foreign envoys who came to pay tribute.

Although the tribute envoys saw these precious banknotes, they also thought they were just toilet paper.

But there is always some commemorative significance.

So banknotes are printed every year.

The technical manager had heard a long time ago that there were many people in the world who could produce Jia Baochao.

Even though their technology is advanced, since many ordinary people cannot tell the difference between real and fake banknotes, they must be well prepared in terms of anti-counterfeiting.

The reason why Li Hai asked Princess Ning'an this was because he felt that since Princess Ning'an was entrusted by Chen Han to do such an important task, she would definitely give an explanation.

He even always believed that Chen Han was a very comprehensive person in doing things.

Don't do anything easily without preparation.

If Princess Ning An were to take over this matter, she would definitely be given some corresponding skills.

Princess Ning An looked at Li Hai and smiled: "You're right, in the letter that came from Japan this time.

In addition to arranging the construction of the Imperial Bank, the Duke also gave a lot of advice on how to prevent counterfeiting when printing new banknotes. "

When they heard that it was a silver note, the craftsmen were stunned.

Even Li Hai didn't know what a silver note meant.

Princess Ning'an explained: "The newly printed treasure notes we want now cannot be called treasure notes, they should be called silver notes.

Nowadays, people use a lot of silver, and people are more accepting of silver.

Then just call the corresponding paper currency silver notes.

In this way, we will issue silver notes according to the amount of silver the people deposit in the bank.

Giving them silver bills can serve as evidence of how much silver they have deposited in the bank, and it is also a new type of treasure note circulating in the market."

After explaining the silver note, everyone nodded: "Yes, yes, it is more appropriate to call it a silver note, which is more in line with the current circulation requirements.

I just don’t know how this banknote can prevent counterfeiting.”

Princess Ning An took a brown paper bag from the maid behind her and took out a letter from it. "You know what, the Duke was also thinking about how to prevent counterfeiting in Japan, so he gave us a draft of the anti-counterfeiting work, and asked us to consider it carefully."

In fact, the anti-counterfeiting work provided by Chen Han was based on the anti-counterfeiting work of the banknotes in the late Qing Dynasty.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the business of Piaohao had spread all over the country.

In order to prevent counterfeiting, each ticket number has adopted different anti-counterfeiting technologies.

The main one is the saddle number.

There are also secret codes.

The purpose of the saddle seam is to allow two bills to be put together after they are put together.

This is the simplest form of "Kanjo" and has been used for thousands of years.

It is difficult to prevent counterfeiting in this way.

So this is just for auxiliary use.

Another thing is the secret code.

Every printed silver note has some codes on it that only the staff working at the ticket number can know.

This code may be a time period or a date.

This code is something that the people who work in the ticket number must know as soon as they come in.

Why is the training of ticket office employees so important?

It is because these people may control this set of codes.

However, the password is basically changed every half year and training is conducted every half year.

This will reduce the prevalence of counterfeit bills as much as possible.

If silver bills are to be used as paper money on the market, the cost of anti-counterfeiting work and identifying fake silver bills will be higher.

So Chen Han also made this suggestion in the letter.

First, let's start publishing in newspapers that are now popular all over the world how to identify real and fake banknotes.

The second is to let the Baochao Tizhuo Office and the Tax Inspection Office increase their inspection efforts.

Not only should ordinary people be allowed to report counterfeit banknotes to the local Baochao Tizhuosi after receiving them, but there will also be rewards for reporting.

If you get a fake silver note and report it successfully, the reward amount will be ten to fifty times the face value of the note.

We must give full play to the role of the common people and let them participate.

Let ordinary people contribute to anti-counterfeiting, so that more people who want to print fake banknotes will realize that the cost is too high.

Furthermore, if anyone is caught printing fake banknotes, no matter how many they have printed, as long as they are put into circulation, they will be sentenced to death and their entire family will be conscripted into the army.

Increasing the severity of punishment is also intended to deter criminals who print fake banknotes.

Let them know that fake banknotes are printed, and you won’t dare spend them.

If you are caught, you will die.

No matter how much you print, if you are caught with one or two silver notes, you will be dead.

The most important thing is collective punishment. If one person commits a crime, the whole family will suffer.

This can also largely eliminate the idea of ​​fraud.

After everyone read Chen Han's suggestions, they all felt that they made sense.

In particular, they all agreed with Chen Han's suggestion of using secret codes as anti-counterfeiting marks.

The reason why it is valuable to let newspapers publicize how to identify real and fake silver bills.

This is because the paper used to print banknotes is special paper, not something that ordinary people can get.

For example, the craftsmen today can identify the real and fake banknotes at a glance, just from the paper.

These people handle countless amounts of this kind of paper every year, so they can tell whether it is real or fake just by holding it in their hands.

But ordinary people do not have such ability, so they can only achieve this goal through continuous propaganda.

Of course, when Princess Ning'an was discussing with Li Hai how to prevent counterfeiting at the Baochaodu Tizhusi, someone was actually thinking about how to print fake banknotes behind the scenes...
