Chapter 51
what rice?duplex?Isn't the cost of the lottery ticket doubled?Still need a daily archive?Government?that cost?Yang Reform realized that he might not be able to play the lottery anymore.This is something that requires the government to operate, and the efficiency will definitely not improve.The key is the need for double sheets and daily archives. Yang feels that this is a huge task.How many people will it take?
In addition, modern transportation is underdeveloped, and it is impossible to network the whole country. At most, it can only be sold in one city, or sell lottery tickets around the city. In this way, many sets of lottery teams are needed, almost one set for a big city. There are too many people. A little bit.Moreover, they each sell their own lottery tickets. It is too difficult to prevent them from colluding and cheating.This is a natural place for corruption!So the lottery tickets can still be sold?Yang Reform did some calculations in his mind, and he felt that the two-color ball might not last.Even if I can get out the "typewriter" that arranges the lottery numbers, I can't continue playing.

There are too many links, the road is too long, and there is no supervision. Apart from corruption and cheating, there is no other possibility.

Yang Reform thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give up the two-color ball. This kind of thing is only suitable for the 21st century, with developed transportation and communication systems. Now, it is absolutely impossible, and it can only be played in the court. Just tease the courtiers.Thinking of this, I feel dull for a while.

……

After a while of silence, Yang Reform felt that it was better to say something to encourage them, especially the man named A Wu, who was quite thoughtful and shrewd. He was a talent, and he should cultivate it, or was he specialized in making banknotes?Maybe he will have to help if he wants to get banknotes in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform said: "Well, Ah Wu, let me ask you, what do you think of Baochao?"

Ah Wu was baffled, he was talking about lottery tickets just now, why are he talking about money now?But without hesitation, after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the grassroots for their innocence, so that the grassroots dare to say." Ah Wu is also ready to go all out, either to be favored by the emperor and reused, or to be beaten to death by others.There are many people who are not used to commenting on the quality of treasure banknotes in front of the emperor.

"Okay, tell me."

"I report to Your Majesty that there are too many precious banknotes issued...except for the forced use by the government, the common people don't use it, and the production is rough. After years of use, they are still in use. The handwriting is blurred and difficult to read. At most, it will be exchanged for one or two hundred dollars..."

"Are there any anti-counterfeiting measures for the treasure notes?"

"Report to Your Majesty, there are serial numbers on the treasure banknotes. The recovered treasure banknotes are arranged according to the serial numbers, compiled into a bundle, and then cut in half. Look for the same number in these treasure banknotes. If there is one, it is a fake. Then you can find out the source, the source."

"Then is there any other measures?" Yang Reform thinks this is too simple. Our later money has many anti-counterfeiting measures, such as watermarks, wrinkled collars, ultraviolet light, metal wires, etc. , is still made so lifelike that it is hard to tell the truth from the fake.Now use a set of numbers to prevent counterfeiting?Yang Reform is seriously skeptical.

"Report to Your Majesty, each banknote is printed: the counterfeiter will be beheaded, and the arrester will be rewarded with two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and the prisoner will still be given property..."

A Wu's answer made Yang Reform feel a little interesting. What is it talking about?That is to say, those who report counterfeit banknotes will be rewarded with at least 250 taels, and then the counterfeiter's family property will be returned. This guy is interesting, it is really a big reward! 250 taels, can make a fortune, almost can make a person jump to the class of small landlords.Quite tempting, not counting as the property of counterfeiters.This is much more powerful than such and such anti-counterfeiting measures.

"Then has anyone ever forged precious banknotes?" Yang Reform wanted to know if anyone had done this.very curious.With the current primitive anti-counterfeiting measures, Yang Reform feels that as long as he has an ordinary printing machine of later generations, he can print money on a large scale.Isn't that pretty cool?
"My Majesty, the grassroots dare not say..."

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

"Your Majesty, the grassroots really dare not say..." Ah Wu also withered this time, and begged for mercy with a mournful face. This matter really cannot be said!

Yang Reform feels strange, dare not say that you are not guilty if you are pardoned?What's the big deal, since you don't want to talk about it, forget it, and ask Master Sun later, he is a living dictionary, so he should know something.

……

Things have been clarified, and the two-color ball can't be played for the time being.Yang's reform plan fell through, and the "painkiller" did not succeed. I was quite annoyed, but at least I found a talent, a talent for making banknotes, which may be useful for making banknotes by myself in the future.

Yang Reform is going to fulfill his promise, and give some rewards to this group of people. As for that Wu, he will train him to be a little capable.

"You all get back, each of you will receive two taels of silver, which is your hard work. By the way, Ah Wu, you will be rewarded with 20 taels..."

As soon as Yang Reform's words fell, the people below knelt down on the ground and shouted long live, today is the magpie calling the door, come to the palace for a visit, see the world and see the emperor, you can give it to you when you go home. Others are bragging, we have capital!Have you seen the emperor?No?Well, I have seen it, and gave me two taels of silver.This is the capital of bragging.

A group of people were triumphant and beaming.That guy named Ah Wu was not very happy. He thought he could work for the emperor and get a half-job or something. He would be free from the sea of ​​suffering and no longer need to be a "craftsman". Although I got 20 taels of silver, which was a lot of money, it was far from what I expected.

"Well, add another 100 taels of silver to Ah Wu...Ah Wu! Well, after you go back, use this money to research the anti-counterfeiting of lottery tickets, such as special ink! The lottery tickets in the future will be faked, although I don’t make lottery tickets now, but I’m not sure I will do it again someday, so after you go back, you have to study this thing hard, understand?”

Yang Reform talked a lot, ostensibly he was talking about lottery tickets, but in fact, he was talking about "money".Special ink, paper, secret mark, anti-counterfeiting, isn't this the current money?Yang Reform found that he couldn't sell lottery tickets, but he found a talented person who made paper money, so he decided to fund him to study the method of making paper money. Anyway, it didn't cost much, so he should be regarded as a "venture capital".

"Caomin complies with the decree. Caomin thank His Majesty for your appreciation..." Ah Wu immediately knelt down on the ground and thanked him loudly. He was so excited that he got such a good job today.Hahaha... the emperor remembers me, and now I am prosperous.

"Well, this, no..., you have to remember, keep it secret, and no one else has the right to know what you have researched, except you, understand?" Yang Reform's politeness in the 21st century had a fit, and he was going to have a "no need" with Ah Wu. Thank you", the words came to my lips, and turned into remembering to keep it secret.

"Report to Your Majesty, the grass people must keep it in mind and live up to His Majesty's expectations..." Ah Wu was so happy that he was dying.Keeping it a secret means that this thing is important. Doesn't that mean that one day in the future, it will be the emperor's confidant?The emperor's confidant, my god!Hurry back tomorrow to see if the ancestral grave is smoking.

"Okay, big companion, let them all go back." Yang Reform was tired, ready to take a rest, and went to find Sun Chengzong.

……

Everyone left, and no one disturbed the emperor Yang Reform. Yang Reform was lying on the bed alone. reward.

Yang Reform seems to remember that the West had paper money in the 17th century, that is to say, the West now has "paper money" that is the same as "modern" money.That is to say, there are basically no "technical" problems when I study paper money now. Thinking of this, Yang Reform feels much more comfortable.

Well, sleep for a while, and go to Master Sun's place after getting up, Yang Reform secretly thought.
