Chapter 840

With the prevalence of brick roads and four-wheel carriages, the convenience of transportation and means of transportation has further stimulated the commerce of Chang'an city. Today, Chang'an City has attracted countless business travelers to come for gold by virtue of the advantages of the capital.

All business travelers who come to Chang'an City, without exception, want to see Mojia village. First, they want to see the products of Mojia village, and then they want to see the famous Mojia village.

Everyone who comes to Mojia village is shocked by the magic of Mojia village. The ink skills of Mojia village are well known all over the world, not to mention, but the silver ticket of Mojia village is even more amazing.

A palm sized piece of paper can be exchanged for white silver, which is extremely convenient. In addition, Mojia village directly bet 300000 Guan money in the imperial palace for the silver ticket, which makes the reputation of the silver ticket far-reaching.

"Shopkeeper, this is three Liang silver note!"

In Chang'an City, a business traveler skillfully handed the three Liang silver ticket to the shopkeeper. After receiving it, the shopkeeper carefully looked at the silver ticket, which was safe in his pocket.

Such transactions can be found everywhere in Chang'an city. Silver tickets are not only popular in Mojia village, but also gradually appear in the extremely open Chang'an city. The convenience of silver tickets and the reputation of the royal family have directly cleared the obstacles for silver tickets. Some bold merchants also collect silver tickets openly. Anyway, they can exchange them for pure silver by going to the Bank of Mojia village.

However, what the shopkeeper didn't know was that outside the store, an ordinary looking idle man shook his head slightly and turned to leave. When he saw a 50-year-old cloth seller, his eyes brightened.

"Aunt, how much is your cloth?" the idle man asked.

When the old lady saw the business coming, her eyes brightened and said, "young students, eight Wen a foot."

"Give me three feet, but I don't have copper money, only Mojia village silver ticket. Can you accept it?" the idle man flashed in his eyes.

The old lady laughed and said, "young man, I'm old. I don't know any silver notes, let alone silver notes. I don't know even silver."

When the idle man heard the speech, he immediately agitated and said, "madam, the silver ticket is made by the Mohist school. Each silver ticket can be exchanged for white silver, and there is a royal guarantee. You don't have to worry at all."

Xianhan immediately turned into a silver Ticket Promotion expert and spared no effort as a silver ticket propagandist.

"This... But I only know copper money." the silver ticket of Mohist school is spreading in Chang'an City, and it has even made trouble in the court. This matter has been spread all over Chang'an city. Naturally, the old lady has heard of it. At present, she is not so determined to refuse it.

As soon as the idle man heard of the play, he continued to encourage him and said, "madam, I really like your cloth, but I don't have any cash on hand. If you agree to accept the three-point silver note, you don't have to change the extra six Wen."

The eldest mother was so excited that her profit from selling cloth was not much. If she charged six Wen more, it would not be a small amount.

"Well, I'll believe in Mohism once." the eldest mother thought for a long time, but finally didn't withstand the temptation, handed the idle man three feet cloth, and took three one cent silver tickets from the idle man, but she didn't have the consciousness to check the silver tickets.

The idle man took the cloth in his hand and couldn't help smiling proudly. He came to a corner and saw a beautiful carriage parked aside. He quickly came forward and bowed and said, "the second owner."

"Hmm! How's it going?" the voice of the second owner of Ziqian family came from the carriage.

"Tell the second owner that many shopkeepers are very smart. They will check the silver tickets they receive. It's easy to expose them. However, some fools and old women haven't seen the market, which is the best target." the idle man bowed down.

"Well done," the second owner praised, "go and do it immediately, gather people as much as possible, and spend as much as possible on these fake silver tickets. Once you alert mojiazi, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"Yes!" said the idle man immediately.

As the idle man left, a member of the Qian family began to spread all over Chang'an City, and a net for silver tickets soon spread.

"What, you don't accept it. It's the silver ticket of the Mohist school, and the emperor guarantees it." at the door of a snack shop, the old lady argued with the shopkeeper of the snack shop. The old lady made money and wanted to buy some snacks for her granddaughter, but she didn't expect that the other party wouldn't accept it.

The shopkeeper of the snack shop frowned and said, "madam, it's not that we don't accept silver tickets, but that you have the wrong quality of silver tickets!"

"What's the meaning of wrong sex?" the eldest mother stayed there and said.

"This is a real silver ticket. This is the silver ticket you received. You can compare it well." the shopkeeper of the snack shop took out a real silver ticket and put it in front of the old lady's three fake silver tickets.

"How could this happen?" the old lady couldn't believe looking at the silver note in front of her. Even if the craftsman invited by Ziqian's family was superb, it could be as similar as the silver note. However, as long as it was carefully compared, we could certainly find the difference.

"As like as two peas, you are not the only one in the three silver tickets." the shopkeeper will put the number of the three silver tickets of the old lady in the same place. It is the same as the one in the dim sum shop. The first time the dim sum shop owner saw the fake Silver ticket, it was not certain at that time. When he saw the three same numbers on the fake silver note, he determined that the silver note in front of him was fake.

"And your silver ticket has no watermark! And..." the shopkeeper of the snack shop picked up the real silver ticket and asked the old lady how to distinguish the true and false silver tickets in the popular science Ink magazine. The old lady gradually believed that her silver ticket was false and couldn't help crying.

Thirty Wen is not much in the eyes of ordinary people, but in a poor home, it is the cost of living for ten days, which is not a small loss.

With the passage of time, fake silver tickets were exposed one by one. Most of the victims were elderly people, and many merchants did not test the silver tickets at all.

Soon, the fake silver ticket spread all over Chang'an city. Everyone was afraid of the silver ticket, and the reputation of the silver ticket in Mojia village fell to a low point.

"Fake silver tickets!" Merton took the fake silver tickets in his hand and his face was gloomy.

After the outbreak of fake silver tickets, the Mojia village bank, which received the news for the first time, immediately reported it to Merton.

"The silver note is just issued by the bank, and the other party can make a silver note that can confuse the fake with the real in a short time. It must not be done by ordinary people." Shen Hongcai said with a gloomy face.

He saw with his own eyes how precise the process of making silver notes was, and the secret skills contained therein were even more extraordinary. However, he did not expect that 80% of them were imitated by the other party in a short time. Although this 80% was only 80% on the surface, he could not deceive the bank at all, most ordinary people who had never been in contact with them were deceived.

"Who is it? Aiming at my Mohism?" Merton frowned. He led the rise of Mohism. Although he advocated the peaceful rise all the way, he inevitably offended many people. He thought about his opponents in recent years one by one, but he had no clue.

"No matter who is targeting the Mohist school, the top priority now is to curb the proliferation of fake silver tickets." Shen Hongcai took a deep breath.

Once fake silver notes are flooded, the people will suffer heavy losses. At that time, even if the Mohists are not responsible, they will not be able to explain to the imperial court, and their credit for silver notes will be greatly hit.

Merton solemnly nodded and said, "the hardest hit areas of fake silver tickets this time are Chang'an City and Luoyang City. The secret people see through that Chang'an people don't know fake silver tickets, which makes Chang'an people deceived. Immediately publicize the anti-counterfeiting method of silver tickets in Chang'an City and Luoyang City. Please refuse silver tickets if you can't distinguish between real and fake silver tickets."

Shen Hongcai nodded and said, "although the appearance of fake silver tickets this time is 80% similar, the watermark and micro carving secret skills of Mojia village have not been cracked. As long as you pay attention to observation, it is not difficult to distinguish. The biggest reason why so many people were cheated this time is that these people didn't check the fake silver tickets for the first time, which was the trick."

"Second, offer a big reward in ink magazines. If anyone can provide false silver ticket clues, he will be rewarded hundreds of times, and important clues will be rewarded thousands of times!" Merton snapped. This time, he was really angry, not because the other party moved the interests of Mojia village, but that fake silver ticket hurt many people who trust Mojia village, which is the foundation of Mojia.

"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. I believe the other party can't be completely flawless." Shen Hongcai said coldly.

"What about the ordinary people who have been cheated?" Fu Bo worried. He has experienced the poverty of Mojia village. Sometimes a penny is precious. What's more, the silver tickets are at least one point. Many cheated people hold one or two silver tickets, which is too cruel to a family.

"Since it's my Mojia village that doesn't think well, I'll accompany it!" Merton said decisively.

"Absolutely not!" Shen Hongcai hurriedly said, "if Mojia village bears the fake silver tickets in full, isn't it the trick of the people in the dark? The other party will take out a lot of fake silver tickets, which will easily defraud huge money from the Bank of Mojia village.

I'm afraid people in the dark are paying attention to every move of Mojia village. If Mojia village sends out the wind and compensates the fake silver ticket in full, the other party can easily cheat huge money from Mojia village with fake silver ticket.

Merton immediately frowned. If the Mojia village does not compensate, the reputation of the silver note will plummet. If the compensation is made, it will be the plan of the person behind it.

"There's only one way to do this now. Then please ask the Chang'an County Government to make statistics on the losses of the people and summarize them on the record. If the case is solved in the future, follow the losses and make compensation." Fu Bo said in his heart.

"This is indeed a method." Shen Hongcai nodded and agreed. In this way, it also gives the cheated people hope to recover their losses.

Merton thought for a moment and said, "that's good, but if the cheated person under a silver note has a guarantee from the owner, the bank will compensate directly."

"Young master, be merciful!" fuber was moved. In fact, most of the poor people were cheated by one cent of the silver note, and there was a guarantee, so the secret people could not do bad.

Shen Hongcai carefully calculated that only one money would be paid, and the money under the silver note would not use too much money, so he agreed to the plan. In this matter, although Mojia village is also a victim, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense that it can't pay a penny.

"Even so, the enemy knows and I don't know. Since the other party can copy the silver ticket, it's likely that they will continue to crack the silver ticket." Shen Hongcai was restless. The strength of the person who spread the fake silver ticket really stuck in his throat. He copied the fake Silver ticket to this extent so quickly.

Merton frowned and asked, "where is the paper used to make the silver note this time?"

"Young master Hui, the best Chu paper in Sichuan is used for the silver note." Fu Bo replied that Chu paper is the best paper in the Tang Dynasty, but there are few paper that can meet the needs of making silver notes.

Merton shook his head and said, "although Chu paper is precious, there are not many in circulation on the market. Immediately revise the silver ticket, abandon Chu paper and use royal tribute mulberry paper. I will personally invite your majesty."

Shen Hongcai couldn't help but rejoice. The mulberry paper is a royal tribute and doesn't circulate in the market at all. It will be more difficult for secret people to fake.

"This mulberry paper is just a silver note transition. Mojia village must control its lifeline in its own hands and create a unique paper for silver notes." Merton solemnly said.

"A unique paper!" fuber wondered.

"Cotton paper!" Merton said word by word. Although he didn't know the manufacturing technology of future paper money, he knew that the paper used in future paper money was cotton paper.

Cotton has just appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and papermaking with cotton pulp is unheard of. If cotton paper is really made, it is the way to cut off fake silver note materials.

"In addition, the highest anti-counterfeiting skills are used for both one money and one cent silver tickets. Everyone will be very cautious about one or two silver tickets. It really makes people relax their vigilance. It's not enough for me to make one cent counterfeit silver tickets." Merton said proudly.
