"It sounds reasonable, but the reason is not very good. Since you are cooperating with the emperor, I think you can set up the bank in the palace. It is safe enough and no one will question it." Li Yuanzhao said.
Fang Zheng raised his hand to deny it and said with an upright face: "No, the officials in the court are all like wolves and tigers. If you put so much money in the palace, people will look at it sooner or later, and the reputation will not be good if it spreads. I feel like Your Majesty It’s like trying to steal money, this is people’s money, I will never allow this to happen!”
"Our bank is cooperating with His Majesty, but in essence it is still cooperating with the imperial court. In order to prevent chaos and the intervention of various powers, it is necessary to allow it to operate independently."
The bank must be located in Taoyuan County.
Otherwise, he will be in trouble if he wants to use money to do things in the future!
Although it was to promote business development, he still had "selfish" motives.
How can one not misappropriate money in a bank opened by oneself? How can he still be a human being if he doesn’t misappropriate his money?
In terms of conscience, Fang always has no problem with it.
Naturally, banks must strictly ensure the operation of rules and regulations, but this does not mean that they must abide by the regulations.
The development of Dajing to its current level was all made possible by him using money!
Watt improved the steam engine, and it took 40 years for the train to appear. This was not because technology developed slowly, but because everyone was crossing the river by feeling for stones, and no one knew where the target was.
He is different, he can perfectly step on the nodes as soon as his footsteps fall.
Resources are mobilized centrally, and everyone works towards a precise goal, and the development process is greatly compressed.
Although I have a lot of money now, I can’t help but do more things in the future.
If we do large-scale projects later, we won’t have enough money one day if we can’t guarantee them all.
Going through the process batch after batch is a waste of time!
With a bank, this problem will be much less...
This is strategic appropriation! A highlight in future history books!
Therefore, the bank must be located in Taoyuan County!
After listening, Li Yuanzhao smacked his lips: "Tsk, every time you show this expression, I always feel that something is wrong."
Fang Zheng's face stiffened and he quickly changed the subject: "What's wrong? Your Highness, you can't slander me... By the way, the face of this banknote must be His Majesty's Long Yan, but there are other banknotes with other amounts." , Your Highness, do you want to come and let me seal you in?"
Li Yuanzhao's eyes lit up: "Hey, it's interesting. Please elaborate..."
.......
The production of banknotes is extremely particular.
The size of the bank notes currently in circulation on the market is about one foot high and six inches wide, which is quite a large area.
The reason why it is so big is mainly for anti-counterfeiting needs. Since the technology is not up to standard, a lot of information must be left on it for verification purposes.
Bank notes are not as big as they are designed to be.
Instead, the dimensions of later banknotes were used.
In terms of papermaking technology, Taoyuan County is also top-notch! The toilet paper used by Mr. Fang is of the highest quality.
It didn't take much effort to make a batch of paper with rub resistance, waterproof performance, and other specifications that exceeded the market standards, but the cost was a little higher.
Then it was time to start making the printing plates.
The maximum amount of a bank note is set at one hundred taels, and the minimum is one tael.
On the day when the printing plate was made, Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao came to the Taoyuan County workshop at the same time, accompanied by Ao Chen.
As soon as he entered the workshop, Li Yuanzhao's eyes were immediately attracted to the printing plate.
He stepped forward and picked up the printing plate and praised it: "Exquisite, really exquisite, the painting is lifelike for my father."
"Don't look at your father's age, but he's very naughty at heart!"
Fang Zheng touched the cold sweat on his forehead and picked up a printing plate to look at it.
I took some time to find someone to make a sketch of Emperor Jing, and the image in the painting was quite majestic and dignified.
Emperor Jing was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, looking ahead with a solemn look on his face.
He raised his left hand slightly and placed his right hand on a sword. A five-clawed golden dragon was coiled behind him.
This dragon was naturally added by Fang Zhengyi privately.
Before adding it at that time, Fang Zheng told Emperor Jing that he was blushing with his tongue full of lotus flowers.
Although it felt a bit shameless, in the end he hesitated and hinted that Fang Zhengyi had added it.
Li Yuanzhao put down the printing plate, licked his lips and said in anticipation: "Father's is ready, where is my palace's?"
He has also left paintings long ago, and the effect should be good.
Fang Zheng turned around and asked the craftsman: "Where are the other printing plates? Get them together."
The craftsman turned around to get the printing plates. After a while, he took back a stack of printing plates and placed them in front of Fang Zheng.
This second printing plate is Li Yuanzhao's face.
On the printing plate, Li Yuanzhao was leaning sideways, bending over to observe the image of the microscope attentively.
The next picture still shows him, holding a wrench in his hand, standing in front of the locomotive, showing a kind smile.
After that, they were no longer images, but landscape paintings.
Until the last two or two pages with the smallest denomination, it is the majestic main entrance of Eastern Suburbs University. The fountain that opens once a year, the moment when it sprays water is fixed on the printing plate.
There is also a line of small words below [Chao Wei Tianshe Lang, Mu Deng Tianzi Hall].
In order to promote publicity, Founder did everything he could to turn the most frequently used banknote into the most powerful enrollment advertisement in history...
After Li Yuanzhao looked at it, he sighed: "Okay, I just didn't expect my father's one to be so brilliant, and the two from this palace seem a bit mediocre."
"You are wrong, Your Highness! These two paintings of yours are really outstanding. Your Majesty's paintings are indeed very majestic, but I can guarantee that in the future, these two paintings of yours will be talked about among the people!" Fang Zheng assured with a beat of his chest, in his heart I secretly despised him.
You're such a shameless thing, and you still want to ride on your father's head?
Li Yuanzhao was silly and happy: "Really? Do you have any printed products for me to take a look at? You can't just look at these copper plates, right?"
Fang Zheng reached out to the craftsmen and asked in a low voice, "Have you done what I asked you to make before?"
The craftsman pointed to the corner of the workshop and said, "Master, it has been done a long time ago. It is right there."
In the direction of his finger, there was a large wooden box about the height of a person standing in the corner.
This wooden box has a strange shape, a bit like an arcade game machine in a game hall.
The wooden box was painted silver, and there was a small hollow horizontal bar in the middle for unknown purposes.
Fang Zheng pulled Li Yuanzhao to the wooden box and buttoned it twice on the side.
"Huh? Is this a door? Why do you want to make a door on this strange box? What is this thing used for?" Li Yuanzhao was confused.
There is a small door on the side of the box. When the small door is opened, you can see a small stool inside.
Fang Zheng pushed Li Yuanzhao into the box without any explanation. After closing the door, he said, "Your Highness, how do you feel inside?"
In the darkness, Li Yuanzhao frowned: "No, Lao Fang, what do you want to do? It's dark and cold in here, and it's very boring."
"Your Highness, please be patient. Look to see if there is anything on your left." Fang Zheng stood in front of the box and turned around to wink at Ao Chen.
Ao Chen understood this and took out a notebook from his arms. On the cover of the notebook were written the words Taoyuan County Chronicle.
Li Yuanzhao groped in the darkness and soon touched a piece of paper.
I rubbed it twice with my hands and smelled it again. It seemed like a banknote?
Fang Zheng coughed lightly and knocked on the outer shell of the box: "Ahem, take one hundred taels of silver notes!"
"What, a banknote? Is this it?" Li Yuanzhao was very puzzled, holding something that looked like a banknote in his hand and stuffing it through the crack.
Seeing the banknote being pushed out from the gap, Fang Zhengyi quickly pulled it out, not forgetting to remind: "Hurry and remember!"
Ao Chen looked serious, lowered his head and started taking shorthand in the county journal. The time and place had already been written down, and he only added a line at the end.
[Jianye Hou Fangzhengyi invented the automatic teller machine in Taoyuan County. 】
