"I just walked around below and heard some secrets that you have discovered."
"But are these really unbreakable?"
"The answer is no. In our land of China, there are countless strange people and skilled craftsmen. Even if they all abide by the law and live in peace, they can't resist the desperadoes who want money at the expense of their lives!"
"You can't say there are no such people. Once they appear, it doesn't matter if Ming Royal Bank loses some money.
But lives will be lost, which is not allowed, so we can only add a few more anti-counterfeiting methods. "
What Bi Ziyan said calmly made the businessmen below scratch their heads anxiously.
It's like discovering a treasure locked by a big golden lock, but the person holding the key keeps shaking it and won't open it.
"I'll talk about the first one first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several sergeants carried a table onto the platform. On the platform was a tray covered with red silk.
"Do you have any friends who want to come up and experience it?"
"I!"
"Bi Shangshu, I'm coming!"
"Choose me!"
"Master Bi, I am young and have good eyesight. I can clearly see the holes in copper coins a hundred steps away!"
"Sir, my family is in the printing business, and I have a lot of research on Jiaozi of the Northern Song Dynasty and famous banknotes. I will let you do whatever you want!"
…
All the famous businessmen were rushing towards the platform crazily, wanting to experience the mystery first.
As for demeanor and face?
what is that? You don’t need it now.
There were a few shameless people who didn't wait for Bi Ziyan to call their names, and went directly to the platform, standing in front of the table like a good baby. Everyone looked at them with disdain, and in their hearts they greeted their eighteen generations of ancestors.
"Okay, since you've all come up, I can't let you go down, so it's up to you!"
"Are you guys ready?"
As Bi Ziyan spoke, he pulled open the red silk on the tray, revealing several lenses (magnifying glasses), which made everyone look very curious.
"Hold the lens to the pattern in the middle and lower grid of the money order, adjust the distance yourself, and see if you find anything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone held the lenses towards the money order and adjusted the distance.
"Fuck..."
"This, this...is this text?"
"In the ninth year of Yonghe, I lived in Kuichou... It seems to be the preface to the Lanting Collection?"
"This is the complete version of the Lanting Collection Preface!"
…
When several people saw the pattern clearly, they immediately exclaimed.
The sound immediately stunned the businessmen near the platform, who simply couldn't believe their ears.
"Old Xu, what did you just say? Is this the complete version of the preface to the Lanting Collection?"
"Yes, it's the complete version!"
"Nonsense, do you know how many words are in the preface to the Lanting Collection? Three hundred and twenty-four words. How is it possible to have such a large place on a money order?"
"That's right, being able to write two or three crosses is already amazing!"
"It's really possible. If it's micro-carving, it can be done!"
"Damn it, who designed this to be so heartless!"
"A genius, definitely a genius. There are only so many people who can do micro-carving, and they are masters. Those who can engrave bills of exchange, they are even more masters among masters. It's great to check!"
"Just this miniature sculpture, even if it's just a piece of rice paper, it's hard to fake it!"
…
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
A sergeant shook the bell, and Bi Ziyan shouted at the top of his lungs.
The merchants who were scrambling to use the magnifying glass to check the miniature Orchid Pavilion collection on the money order slowly regained their composure after the last tug.
"You are right in your guess. This is the entire preface to the Lanting Collection made using micro-carving technology."
"The engraving was carved by Master Wang Ali."
"Bi Shangshu, the Master Wang Shiyou you are talking about cannot be the one from Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture!"
"Exactly, have you heard of his name?"
"Hiss...it turns out to be this master. Well, that's right. For this kind of thing, the court will definitely summon the best master!"
"Is this master famous? Why haven't I heard of him at all?"
"Not famous, but too low-key. If the article "Nuclear Boat" hadn't spread, we wouldn't even know that the old man is still alive!"
"There is a clever man named Wang Shuyuan who can build a palace out of a piece of wood that is an inch in diameter... He calculated its length, but it was once less than an inch. He built a simple peach stone and trimmed it to make it narrower. Hey, the skill is also very strange!"
"You can imagine carving houses, utensils, people, birds, beasts, trees, and rocks on wood that is only one inch in diameter. They all follow the original patterns of the things and imitate the shapes of those things. They are carved with different moods and are lifelike."
"When you said that, I remembered that a few years ago, a rare treasure called the "Miniature Wooden Carved Tianfeng Pagoda" was circulated in Ningbo, Zhejiang. It was carved according to the Ningbo Tianfeng Pagoda.
At that time, someone offered an astronomical price of six thousand taels of silver but did not sell it. It seemed that it was carved by Master Wang Shiliu. "
"That was carved by him in his middle age. If he were to carve it again now, it would be doubled or tripled!"
"It's a pity that we never got to see such a divine creature. It's such a pity!"
…
Listening to everyone's discussion, Bi Ziyan on the stage chuckled lightly, then moved a delicate small box to the table.
Then he carefully took out a small object and placed it gently on the table. This scene naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
"What a coincidence, this is the nuclear boat you are talking about. I borrowed it from Master Wang Shumi.
Those holding tickets for numbers 9, 13, 45... can go on stage and watch it, just like it is a fun thing to play during the intermission! "
For a moment, the businessmen who were called directly rushed onto the platform and stared at the nuclear boat with magnifying glasses.
"The open cabin in the middle is covered with a rug awning, and there are small windows on the sides, four on the left and right. There are eight windows in total, one, two...eight. It turns out there are eight windows. What a wonderful workmanship!"
"The right is engraved with 'The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water is clearing out the rocks', and the left is engraved with 'The breeze is coming slowly, and the water is calm'. The handwriting is clearly visible. The writing is clear and meaningful in such a small place. It is really a miraculous workmanship!"
"There are three people sitting on the bow of the boat. The one in the middle with a crown and beard is Dongpo, Foyin is on the right, and Lu Zhi is on the left..."
"Amazing skills!"
"Well-deserved!"
"It's a worthwhile trip!"
…
All of a sudden all kinds of exaggerated adjectives came out.
This made the businessmen below who had no chance to come on stage anxiously scratch their heads and slap their thighs. The scene was noisy.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
After a full two-quarters of an hour, Bi Ziyan rang the bell again, silencing everyone who was talking.
"Master Wang Miao is now the chief miniature engraving master of the Miniature Engraving Department of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty.
At present, there are twelve micro-carving masters in the Micro-carving Department, including Master Wang Shushi. Their main job is to engage in the research of micro-carving anti-counterfeiting technology.
Our plan is to replace the micro-engraved seal every two to three years. The content can be changed or not, but it will definitely be engraved by different people.
Either one person can complete it alone, or three or five people can complete it in sections. "
