Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Several people counted the money, then put it away, and said a polite word to the merchant.

"Thank you."

The businessman bowed his hands to several people, boarded the boat and left.

"How much did you earn today?"

One person asked the person next to him.

"I drove a foreign businessman around Yangzhou City in the morning and earned 30 Wen."

"I just pulled two shipments and earned 40 Wen."

"I'll see if I can take a trip today, maybe I can earn a penny."

The man had a happy smile on his face.

This tricycle is really a good thing. Although it is a bit hard, it also earns a lot.

Especially now that there are many businessmen outside Yangzhou City, there are still many opportunities to make money.

As long as you can earn 1 penny a day, you can earn back the money for the tricycle in 20 days.

"I'm about the same as you. I'm really grateful to His Highness King Wu, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make so much money."

"Yes, tricycles are really convenient, and it is precisely because of His Highness King Wu that there are so many foreign businessmen in Yangzhou City."

"Yangzhou has His Royal Highness King Wu, it is really a blessing for the people of Yangzhou!"

When the few people thought of today's harvest, their hearts were filled with gratitude to Li Ke.

Li Ke was not at all surprised that Yangzhou City suddenly had such a profession.

Because this is similar to the rickshaw of later generations, or a little more advanced, similar to a taxi.

It's just that this taxi carries both people and goods.

From the time he had people produce tricycles, he predicted that this day would come.

Of course, he is very supportive of this, because it can be regarded as providing jobs for the common people and increasing the income of the common people.

When the common people have money, they will naturally spend it, and then it will promote Yangzhou's business.

In short, as long as money can circulate, it is good for the economy.

"Your Highness, the head of the bank reported outside that the banknotes you requested earlier have been minted."

Li Qingqi knocked on the door, then walked into Li Ke's office, and reported a piece of news to Li Ke.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Ke suddenly regained his spirits.

Banknotes, but he has been preparing for a long time.

Paper money is not only easy to carry, but also very low in cost. Compared with the copper coins, silver and gold currently circulating in the market, the cost is much lower.

However, he has high requirements for banknotes.

Not only should the patterns and patterns of banknotes be beautiful, but also have a sense of luxury, and the quality should be better.

The most important point is to do a good job in anti-counterfeiting technology.

The anti-counterfeiting technology is the technical idea and specific operation process provided by him.

The craftsmen have been researching for a long time, and now they have finally produced banknotes that meet his requirements?

Thinking of this, Li Ke immediately got up and left from the study, and came to the mint workshop!

Once the banknotes made meet his requirements.

Then in Yangzhou and Suzhou, we can start issuing banknotes on a small scale!

PS: Fifth more! .

Chapter 232 Datang Games?Instead of copper coins, how many pieces of paper?

After coming to the banknote printing workshop.

"See Your Highness!"

The head of the printing workshop immediately saluted Li Ke.

"Paper money made?"

Li Ke asked him directly.

"Your Highness, please take a look."

The head of the printing workshop immediately took out several banknotes of different denominations, and handed them to Li Ke respectfully.

Li Ke took it over and took a quick look, and found that the patterns and patterns of these banknotes were very exquisite, as if they were drawn by a master of traditional Chinese painting.

Moreover, some patterns and lines are very difficult, and the banknotes in front of me are all very well done.

Then he touched the paper of the banknotes. It wasn't very hard, but it wasn't the kind of paper that felt like it would break when touched. The paper felt very moderate.

Banknotes vary in size depending on the denomination.

However, it is basically the same size as modern banknotes, because Li Ke designed it according to the size of modern banknotes.

Next, Li Ke began to observe the most critical thing about banknotes, the anti-counterfeiting technology!

He touched the pattern lightly, and could feel the subtle unevenness.

It's subtle, but still noticeable.

Then he picked up the note, looked towards the sky, and found a transparent character 'Tang' inside.

This is watermarking technology!

Cutting-edge watermarking technology is still very difficult, but that is because in modern times, various counterfeit technologies are developed, so watermarking technology is becoming more and more sophisticated.

But in Datang, the watermarking technology is still unique, so the technical requirements are not so high.

Li Ke used the technology in the modern movie "Wu Shuang".

This movie is co-starred by Guo Tianwang and Fa Ge, and it tells the story of making counterfeit dollar bills.

The dollar bills they make are no different from genuine dollar bills except that they are not officially issued.

There is how to use the principle of traditional Chinese painting to see through the back of the paper, and stack three sheets of thin paper together to form a watermarked paper.

At that time, after watching the movie, he only lamented that there are too many smart people in the world, and he didn't think much about it.

Later, when he learned that he was going to time travel, he specifically found out this movie and watched it several times, just to understand the technology in it.

Because techniques that are too official may not be suitable for him, the more personal technique in the movie is more suitable for him.

After all, that kind of technology is illegal to use in modern times, but it is an official technology when used in Datang!

The top-notch technology, which is justifiable, has nothing to do with breaking the law.

As for the watermark in the banknotes, Li Ke originally wanted to print his own portrait, but he thought that he was not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So I dismissed this idea, and printed a "Tang" character on it, which means that this is a banknote issued by Datang Royal Bank.

Immediately, Li Ke adjusted the angle a little, and found that the color of the patterns on the banknotes had changed slightly.

This is the simple version of color changing ink.

Although the effect is definitely far inferior to those of modern color-changing inks, but in the era of Datang, this color-changing ink is already exclusive.

Anyway, it's not for the sake of looking good, it's just for authenticity and falsehood, and it's used to prevent counterfeiting.

So just be unique.

Immediately afterwards, he soaked the paper money in water for a while, and rubbed it casually.

Unfolding the banknotes again, it was found that the banknotes were still a whole with no signs of damage.

And the pattern on it is still very clear, and there is no fading or ink blurring.

After the paper money dries, there is no other abnormality except that it is a little more brittle than before.

Seeing this, Li Ke immediately nodded in satisfaction.

The banknotes met his requirements!

"Yes, you are doing well!"

Li Ke smiled and praised the principal and craftsmen of the banknote printing workshop.

Although the techniques are all taught by him, it is still difficult for this era to understand these techniques and realize them perfectly.

But they didn't take too long to produce the banknotes in full compliance with his requirements.

This obviously took a lot of thought and a lot of energy.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your approval!"

The head of the printing workshop and the craftsmen were also happy, and they were all relieved, and the pressure on the whole person was suddenly much, much less.

They didn't know how many times they had experimented before, but the banknotes they produced always failed to meet the requirements.

Moreover, some technical difficulties have been unable to break through, which brought them great difficulties and pressure.

They failed again and again, and even made them a little unconfident.

I even began to doubt whether these requirements mentioned by Li Ke can really be met?

Fortunately, after such a long time of hard work, the banknotes that meet Li Ke's requirements were finally produced.

Now after receiving Li Ke's approval, they also felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts, feeling that they had accomplished something remarkable.

Moreover, its own craftsmanship level has also made great progress during this period, and overall it is still very rewarding.

"Since you have meritorious service, you will naturally be rewarded!"

"Each person will be rewarded with 1 stick!"

Li Ke has always been very generous, and these people made banknotes according to his requirements, which is naturally a great achievement.

So he waved his hand, each with a consistent bonus.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The craftsmen were overjoyed when they heard Li Ke's generous reward.

"The next step is to print banknotes on a large scale. As for the quantity printed, someone from the bank will tell you."

"You should pay attention, the number of each banknote is different, and which number is printed must be recorded."

"Once two banknotes with the same number are found, it is either an operational error or someone inside printed banknotes privately."

"This king's ugly words are at the front, but anyone who prints banknotes privately, once discovered, will be killed without mercy, and the nine clans will be implicated!"

"If it is found three times, the entire printing workshop will be killed without mercy!"

Li Ke then explained a few words to them and asked them to start printing banknotes in batches.

At the same time, his expression suddenly became serious, and his tone of voice became extremely cold, even mixed with a faint killing intent.

He is sure that with the anti-counterfeiting technology of this banknote, it cannot be imitated from the outside anyway.

The only place where counterfeit banknotes are likely to appear is in the interior of the printing workshop.

Therefore, he must put his ugly words up front, and if anyone prints banknotes privately, he will be killed without mercy!

Not only was I killed, but the whole family and even the nine clans were implicated, and all of them were killed!

It's not that Li Ke is cruel, but that banknotes are extremely dependent on the credit system.

Once counterfeit money appears, the impact and blow to banknotes will be huge.

Therefore, the internal punishment must be cruel, even cruel!

Killing without pardon, adding to the nine clans, should be regarded as the heaviest punishment in this era.

"From today, all your family members will move to live here. At the same time, the residential area must be strictly separated from the printing area. No one is allowed to come close to the printing area in the residential area."

"You are also forbidden to talk to your family members about the technology and things of the printing workshop at home. Anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the printing workshop and will never be hired."

"In the workshop, just do your own part well, and don't inquire about the technology of other links. Those who violate the rules will also be expelled from the printing workshop and will never be hired."

"Of course, your remuneration will be greatly improved in the future. All your children will be able to study in government schools. In the future, no matter whether they succeed in the imperial examination, they will be able to serve under my king."
