hiss……
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath and their eyes were full of shock.
There must be other masters of miniature sculpture among the people. It is not difficult to imitate a copy of the preface to the Lanting Collection, but it will take a long time, ranging from three to five months at least, to two or three years at most.
But if it is changed every two or three years, and three or five people work together to complete it in sections, it means that they have to imitate the handwriting and carving styles of three or five people, which is extremely difficult.
Even if it can be imitated, who can know whether there are other secrets hidden in the micro-engraved text.
From this aspect alone, it is basically impossible to imitate it.
At this moment, everyone was extremely relieved.
"Everyone, next, I will reveal to you the second peculiarity."
After Bi Ziyan finished speaking, he put the two money orders together and started writing something with a pen. He also used several different colors of pen and ink.
After finishing writing, he took out four more seals and stamped them one after another. This scene made countless people curious.
After the ink dried, Bi Ziyan displayed the two money orders in front of everyone.
I saw half words and seals on the left and right sides of the two money orders.
"Everyone, the second strange thing about this is the seals. There are four in total, one for the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, the Account Department, the Treasure Bank, the Deposit Bank, etc.
At the time of printing, it was all printed, cut in the middle, the draft was held by the depositor, and the stub was held by the bank.
Just like the ones on my left and right hands, only when they are put together can the specific content of the text and the seal be known. "
Good guy!
Everyone called him a good guy, this move was just another almost impossible method to crack.
I don’t know the specific content of those four seals at all. How many words are they? What font? What about spacing? Do you have any secret notes?
If one thing doesn't match up, it's a forgery.
The most important thing is that after the seal is carved, it is struck directly with a carving knife, and a unique crack is formed. This crack cannot be imitated at all.
“In addition, all money orders are in a unified format and are distributed by the head office of Daming Royal Bank to branches in various places. If they are damaged or damaged, they will be reported to the head office for record.
Unused or invalid money orders must be handed over to the head office for filing and destruction. Quantity verification and control are very strict, and no errors are allowed.
In other words, each money order has an independent and unique number, and we can start tracking it from the moment it is issued from the head office. "
Everyone fell silent, it was too strict.
As of now, at least in their opinion, this kind of money order cannot be counterfeited.
"The third peculiarity can be said to be the most peculiar."
After Bi Ziyan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a sergeant brought a basin of water and placed it on the table paper.
Then he threw the two money orders he had just filled out into the water.
"Let me ask you a few questions. What is the best paper on the market?"
"Thank you for your official note. It's elegant, interesting, and colorful."
"Golden millet paper has a glossy and moist surface, good toughness, strong transparency, hard and dense texture, and is moth-proof and water-resistant."
"Xue Tao's paper has rich colors, exquisite paper and rich ink marks!"
"Chengxintang paper is as thin as bamboo paper, as tough as leather paper, in color as frost and snow, as long as pine and cypress, with skin as eggs as membranes, as hard and clean as jade, thin and smooth, and one of the best."
"Rice paper has a soft and tough texture, is as smooth as jade, is incorruptible, and has ever-changing ink charm!"
…
"Where's the best ink?"
"Plum ink is mixed with precious Chinese medicinal spices such as musk, plum slices, and borneol. After grinding, the fragrance overflows."
"The five-dragon ink made by Cheng Junfang is smooth and delicate, with various styles and patterns."
"Huizhou's lampblack ink is dark and shiny, and becomes darker as time goes by. It is the most highly regarded."
"The smoky ink is so bright and dark that it is suitable for painting and will last for a long time!"
"The Ruijin Sanbao Ruijin ink has a fine texture, is dark and shiny, the ink is purple-red, and has a fragrant smell."
…
When it comes to these, all the businessmen are talking about it.
Although they are businessmen, they can also be regarded as half-literati. They travel all over the country, so they naturally understand these things.
In particular, some businessmen who deal in pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and printing have many treasures.
Bi Ziyan stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air, and continued to ask: "Based on your understanding, if you use these precious inks to write on precious papers and then throw them into water, will the ink faint?"
Everyone was a little stunned, their eyes full of thinking.
No matter what kind of paper or inkstone it is, if it falls into the water, it will basically faint in a short time.
Even hard yellow paper that has been waxed and calendered will not work.
When Bi Ziyan saw this, he waved his hand, and the sergeant walked slowly among the crowd carrying the water basin. The businessmen on both sides of the passage stretched their heads to look at the water basin, and they were filled with astonishment at just one glance.
"How can this be?"
"How did you do it?"
"Is this a problem with the paper or the ink?"
"How amazing!"
"The imperial court has really spent all its efforts on the Ming Dynasty Royal Bank."
…
Everyone exclaimed, their eyes full of curiosity and shock.
At least more than a stick of incense has passed since Bi Ziyan threw the two money orders into the basin, but the money orders lying in the basin did not change at all.
Including the calligraphy written with the brush and the Indonesian seal, there is no blur.
After one lap of the display, the water basin was returned to the platform paper.
Bi Ziyan fished out the money order and photographed it directly on the wall of Beijing.
"Everyone, according to our tests, the money order we just wrote will naturally start to fade after being soaked in water for about a quarter of an hour.
As for those that have been written for a few months or more than a year, we have not tested them, so we don’t know yet. "
"This is the ultimate way to identify authenticity when the previous two cannot be identified."
"Do you think that with the anti-counterfeiting methods announced today, can private individuals imitate them?"
counterfeit?
How to imitate this?
Those who have the ability to imitate this are technically the best.
As long as they think about it, being rich is definitely not a problem, let alone making money every day.
Just like miniature sculptures, any piece of work that you like will cost more than a thousand taels.
Another example is paper making and ink making. Businessmen who make pens, inks, paper and inkstones can provide these craftsmen.
While everyone was thinking, one person stood up and said loudly: "Bi Shangshu, have you announced the methods you just mentioned? Have they been announced yet?"
"That's natural, but those are top secrets. Only the shopkeepers of each branch are qualified to know such secrets, so please don't pry.
But I can tell you responsibly that there are still three anti-counterfeiting methods that have not been announced. "
hiss……
Everyone was astonished, thinking they had seen everything.
Who knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are more secretive methods that have not yet been revealed.
Micro-carving and short-term waterproofing are already difficult to achieve, so what is more secretive?
