Start a new era and leave a mark in history!
At this moment, Li Ke finally realized that Li Zexuan was not bragging when he said those words. It was something that could really happen!
But could he really make all the people in Tang Dynasty use the transaction token he created?
Li Ke couldn't help but doubt it!
Seeing the doubt on Li Ke's face, Li Zexuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Ke, don't think too much about it. Right now, your priority is to make everyone in the academy believe in your transaction token and make sure that it won't be copied by others! As for making everyone in Tang Dynasty use our transaction token, it's still too early to do so. There's still a long way to go! "
"Then, Yamachō, what should I do to make sure that the transaction token won't be copied?"
Li Ke's eyes lit up as he asked.
Li Zexuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Three days later, go down the mountain and visit the workshop. Faubert will give you a transaction token printed by the workshop. At that time, you will know that there are some things in this world that are difficult to copy!"
Li Ke was pleasantly surprised, "Yamachō, you already have a plan ~?"
"Haha! You can say that! Three days later, you will know! "
Li Ke saw that Li Zexuan didn't want to elaborate, so he didn't ask any further. At this moment, he felt that something was missing. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yamachō, I think that we should give the transaction token a name and design different denominations to make it easier to use in the future!"
Li Zexuan nodded. Even if Li Ke didn't say anything, he would name the currency. But what should he name it? Renminbi or banknotes? Forget it, it doesn't match the Tang Dynasty!
After thinking for a long time, Li Zexuan finally said:
"Let's call it Tang Yuan! A Tang Yuan is equivalent to a coin. Below the Tang Yuan is a Tang Jiao. A Tang Jiao is equivalent to a copper coin! As for the denomination of the transaction token, it can be 1 Tang Jiao, 5 Tang Jiao, 10 Tang Jiao, 50 Tang Jiao, 100 Tang Jiao, and 1 Tang Yuan, 5 Tang Yuan, 10 Tang Yuan, 50 Tang Yuan, and 100 Tang Yuan! When you trade, no matter how much the item is worth, you can use glutinous rice balls of different denominations to form the corresponding amount of money. It's convenient and time-saving! "
"Tang Yuan? What a nice name! "
Li Ke's eyes lit up and he praised, "Yamachō, what should the department in the Academy that is in charge of depositing and exchanging Tang yuan be called?"
He had to admit that this child was quite thoughtful.
"Let's call it Yanhuang Bank! It's a village that specializes in managing Yanhuang College's copper coins! "
Things like banks were too far away from this era. If he rashly brought it up, it would probably be hard for people to accept it. After thinking about it, only the term 'bank' would be easier for people to understand!
"Bank! Good! Then Ke will go and prepare the matters of the bank! "
Li Ke excitedly got up and said goodbye.
"Heh! I didn't wait in vain. The era of paper money is finally coming! "
After Li Zexuan left, the corners of Li Zexuan's mouth curled into a smile as he muttered to himself.
…
"Eh? No! Why do I feel like Yamachō has already thought of this method for a long time? "
On the way back to the classroom, Li Ke suddenly stopped in his tracks and hit his head in annoyance as he muttered softly.
His suspicions were not without reason.
When Li Zexuan heard about the method of the transaction certificate, it seemed like he already had a perfect anti-counterfeiting method in his mind. The reason why he said so much was likely to be to test him.
But if Li Zexuan had already thought of this method, why didn't he act on it? Why did he wait until Li Ke suggested it?
"Forget it! Who cares! Yamachō must have his reasons! "
After thinking for a long time, Li Ke still could not figure out the deeper meaning behind Li Zexuan's actions. He shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He still had a lot of things to do now!
…
"Master Liu, take a look at this seal. Can you engrave it?"
In the afternoon, Li Zexuan came to the workshop with a drawing in his hand. He looked for Skyblade, Liu Dingyi, the original master of Strange Pavilion, Heavenly Craft Pavilion, Liu Yidao. Liu Yidao's carving skills were the best in Chang 'an. After Li Zexuan bought Heavenly Craft Pavilion and established Strange Pavilion, he hired Liu Yidao to the workshop and gave him preferential treatment.
When the workshop first introduced movable type printing, most of the words were engraved by Liu Yidao.
"Yo! Marquis, let this old man take a look! "
Liu Yidao did not dare to be negligent. He quickly took the drawing from Li Zexuan with both hands and began to look at it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Marquis wants to engrave all these words on the seal?"
"Yes! Is there any problem? "
Li Zexuan nodded in response.
Miniature carving was a craft that had a long history. Many skilled craftsmen during the Spring and Autumn Period could do it.
Li Zexuan asked Liu Yidao to make this seal mainly for the purpose of making banknotes anti-counterfeit.
In the Song Dynasty, banknotes appeared in China. Not only were there banknotes, there were also many anti-counterfeit technologies. After all, in ancient times, there were no banknote detectors, QR code scanning and other advanced technologies. However, the ancient people used some excellent anti-counterfeit technologies on banknotes. Li Zexuan planned to use one of them, the anti-counterfeit seal!
Earlier, Li Zexuan said that he wanted to stamp his personal seal on the banknotes as an anti-counterfeit. However, Li Zexuan felt that it was not reliable because it was too easy to fake a personal seal. If he really wanted to use a seal as an anti-counterfeit, he would make an anti-counterfeit seal!
This was a method of anti-counterfeit banknotes that the Jin merchants came up with during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They specially designed miniature carvings. The contents of the miniature carvings were hundreds of words of poetry. The miniature carvings were very delicate and could not be carved by ordinary techniques. Even if it could be made, it would take a lot of material resources and require a very high level of carving skills.
Moreover, in the process of carving, a few words would be deliberately engraved. Even the original carver would not be able to carve the same miniature carvings as before. Therefore, the counterfeiters simply gave up on making fake banknotes.
"Marquis! If it was a few years ago, I, Old Liu, would have been able to do this kind of exquisite work. But now, I, Old Liu, can't even see small things clearly with my eyes. I'm afraid I can't carve this seal of yours! "
Old Liu frowned and looked troubled.
When Li Zexuan heard this, he thought to himself, Isn't this presbyopia? That's easy!
"Haha! Master Liu, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I have a way to let you see very small things clearly! Please wait for half a day. I'll have someone send you something tomorrow. Wear it and you'll be able to see everything clearly! "
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
What a joke. He had already made an astronomical telescope. How could he not make a pair of reading glasses? Even if he couldn't make reading glasses in a short time, he could at least make a magnifying glass first, right?
