Chapter 178: Di Bao

Yang Jie talked with Sun Chengzong for a while, and carefully pondered North Korea's strategy before it was over. He sent Sun Chengzong away. Yang Jie said, "Great companion, come to me immediately."

Yang Jing was very disappointed with his intelligence system's capabilities. He couldn't figure out how many troops were stationed in North Korea, and even if the wild boar skin came into the customs in the future, he couldn't figure out such a big thing. His intelligence system was already in a state of failure. This must be taken seriously immediately.

"As for your order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed, and then sent someone to find Cao Zhengchun.

After a while, Cao Zhengchun arrived and ran away to pay homage to the emperor.

"Okay, Cao Zhengchun, don't be too troublesome. I have something to ask you, how is your Military Intelligence Bureau doing? What progress has been made in this information?" Yang Jingwei also knew that his intelligence system had just been rebuilt and it was not yet time to take effect, but he really couldn't wait.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have sent a lot of detailed works to the Mongolian and Donglu as your Majesty's instructions to collect information, but because the time is still short, no major news has been obtained yet." Cao Zhengchun really has no good news to the emperor. The Military Intelligence Bureau has only been opened for a few days! There must be major information. If this is true, then this news is probably believed or not, and it is worth considering.

"Well, I know that your Military Intelligence Bureau has just opened and there is no major progress yet. However, please be careful in North Korea? Have you sent someone?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have sent some people to North Korea, but there are not as many people as Mongolia and Donglu. Your Majesty, should I send additional staff to North Korea?" Cao Zhengchun asked in confusion.

"Well! This North Korea seems to be very important at present. Your intelligence department needs to arrange it in advance. You can send more people. It is said that the Donglu expedition to North Korea last year. North Korea has surrendered. The Donglu stationed some people in North Korea. I need to know how many people and how strong the troops are. I am going to cross the sea to expedition to North Korea and rescue North Korea from the control of the Donglu. This is related to the safety of our country. Do you understand what to do?"

Although you can go back and search for what happened in history, you still have to arrange what you should do. The empire cannot rely on yourself.

"Abide by the order, Your Majesty, I understand." Cao Zhengchun quickly agreed. It was just a trivial matter. Just send more people to North Korea.

"Well, just be sure you understand. This information, I said, is an invisible war. In this war, if you win, I win, if you fail, I fail, I fail. Do you understand? The victory and defeat of this front are related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, you must be cautious, serious, and pay attention to it, and not let go of any clues." Yang Jing inevitably nagged the importance of this information.

"I understand, I obey the order."

"Okay, let's do this as soon as possible, don't delay it. This matter is still top secret at present, don't tell anyone, do you know?" Yang Jingwei was really busy today and had no time to talk to Cao Zhengchun and talk to him.

"I obey the order, I will take my leave." Cao Zhengchun took the emperor's mission and retreated. Fortunately, the emperor did not lose his temper indiscriminately. The Military Intelligence Bureau has just opened, and there is nothing worth talking about. If one is not good, he will not be scolded, and he will be alienated by the emperor and lose his job. It would be bad.

After seeing Cao Zhengchun off, Yang Jie sighed again. He had to arrange everything he needed to arrange. He had to do his own.

"Big partner, has the person I called to arrive in the morning?" Yang Jingwei was about to take the opportunity to get the newspaper out. He had been preparing for a long time, but he had been very busy and had been dragging it until now.

"Report to Your Majesty, that person has arrived. Is Your Majesty going to summon him?" Wang Chengen replied.

"Yeah, see you."

Ganqing Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.

"Long live the emperor, Liu Awu, the grass man, to see him." It was a good fortune for a commoner to enter this Ganqing Palace. Liu Awu was extremely excited.

As soon as Yang Jie sat down, he was dozing off. He heard someone kowtow and opened his eyes. The person kneeling on the ground in front of him was the Awu he had seen before. He was a good printmaker. Why is his surname Liu now?

"Awu? Liu Awu? When did your surname be Liu?" Yang Jingang asked casually.

"Back to the emperor, oh, no, go back to Your Majesty, Caomin regained his ancestors a few days ago and recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown." Liu Awu said, and he became happy.

"Oh... what I asked you to do, how did you do?" Yang Jing did not intend to delve into the question of this person's name. He just wanted this person to make newspapers and money for himself. If this person doesn't work, then change someone. What he needs is for him to do, not study other people's housework, **.

"Report to Your Majesty, the grass-roots people can already make very beautiful lottery tickets, they are printed clearly and are easy to identify. They can use various colors. Do you need to read them?" When talking about professional matters, Liu Awu was very clear.

"Well, there is a finished product? Then let me show it. If it is done well, I will have a reward." Yang Jing remembered that he just asked this person to get a lottery ticket and try to do it as beautifully as possible, so that in the future, he could also issue paper bills. This paper bill, a cent of silver or gold reserves, and he could issue several times the paper bills. It can be said that it is a property amplifier. With this, one million taels of silver can be used as millions of taels to spend. It can be said that it is a real gold finger. Yang Jing has already salivated himself. When he has enough silver reserves, he will make paper bills and live the life of Americans in the future. When he has no money, he will print money to death. Of course, he has to get the technology of paper bills in advance. This is why he summoned Awu several times. Yang Jing puts his hopes on this Awu.

"Back to Your Majesty, that sample was taken away by your father-in-law when you entered the palace, saying that they were in charge of it... They will naturally present it when they want it..." Liu Awu said.

"Great companion, ask someone to send that sample to me immediately." Although this kind of body search before entering the palace was a bit unauthorized, it involved his own life safety. Yang Jing felt it was necessary, so he did not ask too much about it. There were naturally rules in the palace.

A little eunuch came in outside the door soon, carrying a plate, and there were a few pieces of colorful paper inside the plate.

Wang Chengen took it and handed it to Yang Jing. Yang Jing picked up the colorful paper, which was the size of a palm, and looked at it. This paper is still much thinner than the banknotes of later generations. It seems that it cannot be used for a long time. It can be seen that the woodblock printing technology is used, and the characters are still a bit "stupid", which is far less neat than the handwriting on the banknotes in the future. However, green, red, blue, and black pigments were used, which really turned the paper as big as a palm into a "lottery".

Yang Jie picked up one of the papers, shook them hard, and pulled them hard, and with a "his...", a lottery ticket was torn in half. Yang Jie thought to himself: It was indeed not very strong. The banknotes in the future were much stronger than this. After washing the old banknotes in the washing machine, they could still be used. This one would probably not be able to encounter water.

Yang Jie put the lottery ticket in half into a teacup again. Soon, the color on the paper was decolorized and the tea turned colorful. It turned out to be decolorized! When I lifted it up, the lottery ticket was already wet. When I pinched it with my hands, the lottery ticket turned into a ball of mud.

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor not only tearing the paper, but also putting the paper into the teacup, making him confused. Looking at the tea dyed into colorful, it was inexplicably very mysterious.

Liu Awu knelt on the ground and heard that the emperor seemed to have torn a lottery ticket. He was already scared to death and did not dare to look up, for fear that what he had made would not fall into the emperor's eyes and would cause death.

Yang Jing looked at the cup containing colorful tea and said, "Liu Awu, this lottery is not durable, not strong, and can easily be torn and not resistant to water. When it encounters water, it fades and the paper melts. This is not possible. It is very different from the lottery in my mind. You have to make a lottery that can be folded multiple times, durable, not afraid of water, and not fades. This lottery must be able to be clearly identified after soaking in water, without fading, and without fading..." Yang Jing's requirement is entirely based on the banknotes he will use in the future, in order to prepare the banknotes as soon as possible. If you have the opportunity to issue banknotes in the future, you can directly take it out and use it, which is considered as a technology for preparatory technology.

Liu Awu was stunned when he heard this. He had to be durable, not afraid of rubbing, but also beautiful colors, clear patterns, and able to withstand water washing. This requirement is almost like fire-resistant. Liu Awu thought, does this kind of paper exist in the world? He knelt there blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Liu Awu?" Yang Jing said only by himself, not paying attention to Liu Awu at all. When he saw it, it turned out that this guy was already shocked. Yang Jing felt that maybe his request was really a bit too much.

"The grass people are here, the grass people are here... The grass people should die, damn... Your Majesty forgives the crime, forgives the crime..." Liu Awu, who was awakened by the emperor, came to his senses. Where is he and what he is doing, and he kept kowtowing immediately and asking for forgiveness.

Yang Jing felt that he might have been too much. He asked the Ming Dynasty to produce banknotes for the 21st century. This may be really difficult and there is no intention to blame him. This Liu Awu was just an accidental opportunity, a venture capital, and did not place all his hopes on him. If he couldn't do it, Yang Jing wouldn't mind changing people immediately and changing institutions to do this. He was the emperor, he came up with ideas, he came up with imperial edicts, he was not an engineer, nor a scientist, and he didn't care about the specific process.

"Do you hear it clearly? The lottery I need is thicker than this, the handwriting and pattern are clearer than this, it does not fade, does not fade, is durable, and is not afraid of water. It can still be used even after being kneaded after water. Do you understand?" Yang Jing felt that it was still a long story short and could make a request by himself. For the rest, these Ming Dynasty people solved the problem.

"The grass people understand, and the grass people have recorded it. It is durable, clear, not afraid of water, and does not fade. However, the grass people are brave enough to ask, is there such paper in the world? If there is, the grass people are brave enough to ask His Majesty to give a sample to the grass people. The grass people do this..." Liu Awu felt that there was no such paper in the world at all, and he could not make it. Instead of being slaughtered by the emperor in the future, it would be better to ask clearly now. If there is a physical object, you can do it according to the physical object, which is much simpler.

"The real thing? No, it's not, so I asked you to do it. If so, why should I bother to let you do it? Don't worry, I can definitely do it. I believe you." Yang Jing did not travel with me with me, but just possessed by my soul. If I traveled through time, I might as well have a few cents on my body, but I could make a sample or something, but now there is definitely not.

"Report to Your Majesty, the grass people understand." Liu Awu didn't understand at all. He was very worried about his life, afraid that he would not be able to make it, so he was slashed by the emperor.

"Well, don't talk to anyone about this. When making paper, you should pay attention to confidentiality, including the process of making lottery, the materials used, etc., you should not disclose it to anyone. Do you understand? I don't want this lottery at the moment. You should explore slowly. I will give you enough time, how much does it cost, how much does it cost, how much do I give, do you understand?"

Yang Jing also knew that this paper money could not be done in a day or two. He could only hope that the indigenous people of the Ming Dynasty could make "banks" that were slightly related to later banknotes, so he thanked him. Yang Jing had seen the "bao money" used by the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, it was really not very good. On a thin and not of good quality paper, he printed some words with a board. The characters were not very neat and vaguely printed. Just use them as silver, which was really a fool! Even if you are orthodox and have good reputation in the Ming Dynasty, you can't make others believe that you can use them as silver. Yang Jing decided to make this paper beautiful and worth the money.

When the emperor said that he would give him enough time to do it slowly, and he was not in a hurry, Liu Awu's confidence came back and he quickly kowtowed and thanked him. This time, God really blessed him.

"Liu Awu, don't rush to thank you. I called you here today. It's not for this matter. There is another important thing left to you. If you do it, it's okay to give you an official position. Do you understand?" Yang Jingwei was preparing to build a newspaper, but he lacked the printing technology and printing press.

"The grass people understand, the grass people understand..." Liu Awu was amazing when he heard that he was an official. A commoner who had never been a scholar or a juren would become an official. How could he not be excited?

"Big partner, give him some of the residences." Yang Jing gave several reports on the table to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen to Liu Awu again.

Ancient Palace News is actually a book. If you don’t know what it looks like, just look through the textbooks you read in middle school, it is probably similar to that one.

Liu Awu looked through the newspaper for a long time. He didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Liu Awu, this is the commonly used official newspaper. You can see the words on it, and the handwriting is printed clearly. However, I think it is more troublesome to turn this page one by one. I want to use a large piece of paper to load the content of the entire official newspaper on a piece of paper with both sides printed. Can you do this?" Yang Jingwei was too lazy to consider whether he could do it, so he made a request directly. As for how to do it, naturally, there are people below who think of ways to do it. He is the emperor, not a scientist or a technician.

"Report to the emperor, Caomin often prints books in the scripture factory. This is fine. It's just to make the carved plate bigger. However, Your Majesty, everything is printed on a piece of paper. It may take several days for this person to make a carved plate to carve a printed plate! In this way, the time to copy the mansion newspaper is longer, which is far less than that of hand-written." This master who is familiar with printing technology is not unfamiliar with the mansion newspaper.

"Embroidered plate? Have you never seen movable type printing?" Yang Jing remembered that this printing technique was the four major inventions of China. This movable type printing technique was emphasized in the history textbooks of middle schools. It has been used for a long time, at least in the Ming Dynasty. I remember that it was invented by a man named Bi Sheng. It seemed that he was from the Song Dynasty, so Yang Jing had the courage to ask about this movable type printing technique.

"Report to Your Majesty, Cao Min knows that movable type printing has also been used. However, the handwriting printed by this movable type printing is far less neat and clear than the woodblock, so it is not used much! For example, the mansion newspapers Your Majesty gave Cao Min are all printed with woodblocks, so the handwriting is so clear. If you use movable type, the handwriting may be much less clear as it is." Liu Awu told the emperor clearly what he had in his "professionality".

"If you don't have clear movable type, then you can find a way to make it clear. This is also the purpose of my call. It's all printing techniques. There is no reason why wood carvings are clear, and movable type is not clear. My idea is that it's best to print out the newspaper overnight and print in large quantities. Do you understand?" Yang Jing had been trying to make newspapers for a long time and went back to check printing techniques a lot. He knew that at this time, there was already a printing machine, so he was not going to do it by himself, but just asked someone to do it, and he just wanted to get the result.

"The people of the grass understand, the people of the grass of the grass of the grass of the grass of the country obey the order!" Liu Awu had to agree to the emperor's request. As for whether it was reasonable or not, it didn't matter. As for whether it could be done, I'll talk about it later when I went back.

"As for how newspapers should be printed, I will give you a sample here. When you print, you will do it according to this." Yang Jing showed Liu Awu a newspaper he "diy". This newspaper is about the same size as the four-page newspaper in later generations. It was cut out with a large piece of rice paper and then divided into eight sections. On each section, it was pasted with rice paper with words, and it became the newspaper that Yang Jing displayed now. This is basically similar to the newspaper in later generations.

Liu Awu looked at the emperor's "New Mansion News" and quickly said, "Report to Your Majesty, this is not difficult, and the people can do it." This is really not difficult, but it is just that the mansion newspapers that were previously bound on a piece of paper are printed. It's just that, it's very simple. As for why you don't use the mansion newspapers like the mansion, Liu Awu dared not ask. In fact, this is just Yang Jing's personal habit.

"It's fine if there's no problem, then you can do it. If you do movable type printing, it's best to invent a machine that can facilitate printing. In this way, it's convenient to print. I heard that there were such things in the West, so you can refer to them..." This matter is not easy to point out... Liu Awu agreed without understanding.
