Chapter 52: Baochao

What rice? Double-couple? The cost of the lottery is not to be reviewed? It still needs to be archived every day? The government? That cost? Yang Jing found that his lottery might not be able to continue playing. This is something that the government can only operate, and the efficiency will definitely not be improved. The key is that there is a double-couple order and a daily archive. Yang gave him a thought that this is a huge task. How many people do you need?

Also, modern transportation is underdeveloped and it is impossible to connect nationwide. At most, it can only be sold in one city or around the city. In that way, many lottery teams are needed, almost one big city, and there are too many people. Moreover, they sell their own lottery tickets. It is too difficult to prevent them from joining together to conspire and cheat. This is a natural place of embezzlement! Can the lottery continue to be sold? Yang Jing calculated the accounts in his mind and felt that the two color balls might not be able to play. Even if he could make out the "typewriter" that arranged the lottery numbers, he could not play.

There are too many links, too long roads, and no supervision. There is no other possibility except for embezzlement and cheating. There is a road in the street.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Jing finally decided to give up this double color ball. This kind of thing is only suitable for the 21st century, with developed transportation and communication systems. Now, it is absolutely impossible, so he can only tease the court officials in the court. Thinking of this, it was boring.

After a silence, Yang Jing felt that he would say something and encourage them, especially the one named Awu, who is quite thoughtful and smart. He is a talented person who should cultivate himself or specialize in making treasure money? He may not be sure that he will make money in the future, but he will have to work hard.

Thinking of this, Yang Jingai said: "Well, Awu, I ask you, what do you think of Baochao?"

Awu was inexplicably talking about lottery just now, but why are hesitating and talking about Baochao again? But without hesitation, he thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being innocent, so that the people will dare to say it." Awu was also ready to take it aside, either be favored by the emperor, valued it, or be beaten to death by others. This was the case when the emperor commented on the quality of Baochao in front of the emperor, and many people couldn't stand it.

"Okay, tell me."

"Your Majesty, the treasure banknotes are issued too much... Except for the government's forced use, the people do not use him. They are rough and still used after years of use. The handwriting is blurred and difficult to identify. A consistent treasure banknote can only be exchanged for one or two hundred yuan at most..."

"Then do you have any anti-counterfeiting measures for Baochao?"

"Your Majesty, there are numbers on the treasure banknotes. The treasure banknotes collected are arranged according to the numbers, and then cut them out half. Look for the same number in these treasure banknotes. If there is, it is fake. You can find the source and the source."

"So any other measures?" Yang Jing thought this was too simple. We had more anti-counterfeiting measures after our later money, such as watermarks, wrinkled collars, ultraviolet light, metal wires, etc., and it was still made vividly, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Now we can use a set of numbers to prevent counterfeiting? Yang Jing was seriously suspicious.

"Your Majesty, every treasure banknote is printed: the forgers are killed, the arrestees are rewarded with two hundred silver and two twelve twelve, and the prisoners are still given property..."

Awu's answer made Yang Jing feel a little interesting. What is this? That is to say, the person who reported the forgery of treasure money would be rewarded at least 250 taels, and then the forgers' property was given to the forgers. This guy is interesting, it really is a heavy reward! Two hundred and fifty taels can make a fortune, and it can almost make a person rise to the small landlord class. It is quite tempting and not considered the property of the counterfeiter. This is much more powerful than such anti-counterfeiting measures.

"Has anyone forged treasure money?" Yang Jingwei wanted to know if anyone had done this. He was very curious. With the current primitive anti-counterfeiting measures, Yang Jingwei felt that as long as he had an ordinary printing machine from later generations, he could spend money on a large scale. Wouldn't that be quite satisfying?

"Your Majesty, the people dare not say it..."

"It doesn't matter, I forgive you for not guilty, just say..."

"Your Majesty, Caomin really dare not say it..." Awu also withered this time, begging for mercy with a sad face. This matter really cannot be said!

Yang Jing thought it was strange. You didn’t dare to say that you were innocent? What a big deal. Since you don’t want to say it, then forget it. I’ll ask Master Sun later. He is a living dictionary and should know something.

The matter has been cleared, and the Double Color Ball cannot be played for the time being. Yang's reform plan failed and the "pain analgesics" failed. It is quite annoying, but at least he found a talent and the talent who made treasure money may be able to make his own banknotes in the future.

Yang Jingwei was ready to fulfill his promise and give some rewards to this group of people. He trained Awu, and he was a little capable.

"You all retreat. Each person receives two taels of silver, which is your hard work. By the way, that Awu will reward twenty taels..."

As soon as Yang Jing finished speaking, the people below knelt down on the ground and shouted long live. Today, the magpies called out. They came to the palace for a tour. Not only did they see the world, but they also met the emperor. In the future, they could brag about others when they came home. We have the capital! Have you ever met the emperor? No? Well, I have seen it and I also gave me two taels of silver. This is the capital for bragging.

A group of people were proud and happy. The one named Awu was not very happy. He thought he could do things for the emperor and get a job or a half. From then on, he got rid of the sea of ​​suffering and no longer had to be a "craftsman". Unexpectedly, he couldn't handle the matter anymore and stopped doing it. Although he got twenty taels of silver and a lot of money, it was far from what he expected.

"Well, add another 100 taels of silver to Awu... Awu! This, after you go back, use this money to study the anti-counterfeiting of lottery tickets, such as special ink! Paper! You need to use a few more sets of secret notes to avoid the fraud of lottery tickets in the future. Although I will not make lottery tickets now, I may not be able to do it that day. So, after you go back, you must study this thing hard, do you understand?"

Yang Jing said a lot of words, and on the surface they were talking about lottery, but in fact, they were talking about "money". Special ink, paper, secret notes, and anti-counterfeiting are the money they are now? Yang Jing found that his lottery could not be sold, but found a talent who made paper money, so he decided to invest in it for him to study the method of making paper money. Anyway, he didn't spend much money, so he just regarded it as a "VC investor".

"The people who follow the orders. The people who thanked the emperor for their appreciation..." Awu immediately knelt down on the ground and thanked him loudly, and was extremely excited. If you got such a good job today, it would be a thousand-year-old salted fish to turn over! Hahaha... The emperor remembers me, now he is developed.

"Well, this, no... you have to remember to keep it confidential. No one else has the right to know the things that have been studied except you. Do you understand?" Yang Jing's polite disease in the 21st century was attacked and he was about to give A Wu a "no thank you". When the words came to his mouth, they became remember to keep it confidential.

"Report to the emperor, the people must keep it in mind and live up to the emperor's expectations..." Awu was so happy that he was dying. Keeping it confidential means that this thing is important. Doesn't that mean that one day, he will be the emperor's confidant? The emperor's confidant, my god! Go back to see the ancestral grave tomorrow, will it be smoke coming out?

"Okay, big companion, let them all go back." Yang Jie was tired and prepared to take a break and go to find Sun Chengzong.

Everyone left, no one disturbed the emperor Yang Jinge. Yang Jinge was lying alone in bed, in broad daylight, and couldn't sleep. He was thinking about it and did not make a double color ball, but he got a talent for minting, which was a bit of a gain.

Yang Jing seemed to remember that the West had paper money in the 17th century, which means that the West also now has "paper money" like "modern" coins. In other words, when studying paper money now, there are basically no "technical" problems. Thinking of this, Yang Jing felt much more comfortable.

Well, after sleeping for a while, then I went to Master Sun's place after getting up. Yang Jing thought of it secretly.
