Hui Niang discussed with the "Shuilu Gang" people and intentionally refused to contact the "Drop Road Gang".

The people of the "Drought Road Gang" had previously helped the bookstore shop owners smash and loot in the printing workshop. At the end of the year, when people from other places went to the medicine shop to make trouble, they added fuel to the fire. This made Chen Xi extremely alert to the people of the "Drought Road Gang" that were clearly a group of jackals and beasts, and they could not reason with them at all.

Many of these "Dry Road Gang" people have the background of thieves. It is common for thieves to be stolen, and they can even do murder and set fire.

It is impossible to get them to return completely. The best way is to use their internal contradictions to defeat them one by one.

But Hui Niang seemed a little timid about fighting against the "Drought Road Gang". In her opinion, if she offended these people and was brought to her for revenge, it would be considered light. If she killed someone and raped her, she would be basically a woman and a child, and she would have no way to resist it.

Chen Xi could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​integrating the "Drought Road Gang" and asked Hui Niang to first incorporate the "Water Gang" people. After the Chinese New Year, we will see how to mobilize the "Water Gang" people to incorporate the "Drought Road Gang", but Chen Xi himself is not optimistic about this.

During the end of the year, the New Year pictures in the printing workshop were very popular. A large number of foreign merchants rushed to Ninghua and purchased large quantities of colorful New Year pictures to sell.

During this period, the printing workshop had been shut down for the first year, but the business this year was particularly good. After the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, many people still placed orders and purchased a large number of New Year pictures. The printing workshop could only work overtime and then carry out three shifts of work again.

In order to compensate the workers below, especially female workers, for their hard work during this period, the printing workshop has implemented a double-payment system since the twelfth lunar month, and established overtime pay and year-end reward systems. In the end of the year, the rewards at the end of the year are given every day, which makes the men and women who are thinking about going back to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year and are particularly motivated.

If you can make money, it doesn’t matter if you spend the New Year. Doing 1 day job at the end of the year is equivalent to doing four days on weekdays, and it’s hard for them to not work hard.

As for the pharmaceutical factory, the work was shut down early.

Yi, the pharmaceutical factory produces sufficient inventory of patent medicines, so there is no need to hurry up like this, but the pharmaceutical factory manager Han Wuye returned to his hometown to reunite with his family.

In this year, Han Wuye lost his storytelling skills and "left his hometown" to work hard in the Fucheng City. Fortunately, he made enough money this year. The monthly silver plus the dividend at the end of the year was 40 taels, which exceeded most families in this era. Han Wuye planned to bring the old and young family with him when he came back after the New Year and settled in the Fucheng City.

Based on the principle of not flowing from the outside world, Hui Niang asked Han Wuye to arrange his family to do things in the pharmaceutical factory. With these "own people", the prescriptions can be ensured to be leaked to the greatest extent.

As for the pharmacy, the business will be a little deserted by the end of the year.

The quality of the medicines in the medicine shop is good. Many patients who have been bedridden for a long time no longer have to live with the medicine jar all day long. In addition, it was cold outside during the end of the year, and most people hid at home. The shops opened on the streets were very business-like.

Originally, the pharmacy was about to open until New Year's Eve, but because of the light business, Hui Niang decided to close the door and rest on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. She settled the pharmacy dividends for Xie Yuner and Zhou in advance. She then bought some New Year's goods, and even if it was done. Hui Niang was mainly busy with the Chamber of Commerce. She has been very busy during the end of the year. If there is anything, she would discuss with Chen Xi in private.

As the end of the New Year approaches, many people come to get money from the bank account. Many people are afraid that after the New Year, they don’t know what the situation will be like. They dare not leave their spare money in the bank account. Instead, they are willing to lose some interest and take out the money to buy some rice and grain to save them home to prevent hunger.

Because the silver number has sufficient money, after the end of the business war with Su Zhaiqi, the silver number deposited more than 30,000 taels.

This is mainly due to the fact that merchants in Tingzhou Prefecture are full of confidence in the Chamber of Commerce. Many shopkeepers are willing to store their money in the bank account to make money with money.

Chen Xi had to make up for the county examination after the New Year. During the end of the year, he not only helped Hui Niang plan to integrate the forces in the city, but also studied his "money", which is a sample of silver bills.

There are Daming Baochao as a draft on the market. Before the Ming Dynasty, there were Feiqian in the Tang Dynasty, Jiaozi, Huizi and Qianyin in the Song Dynasty, and there were Duanbaochao in the Yuan Dynasty. Chenxi used archaeologists' research on ancient paper money and understanding of modern banknotes to study it, and found that it was unique and unique to outsiders who could not forge it as a silver account for future issuance.

Chen Xi relied on the molding color printing technology. He first drew the silver bill, then found someone to melt the copper plate to make the printing plate, and carried out three coloring processes by printing the engraved New Year pictures. On the paper, he chose solid mulberry paper.

Chen Xi used as many as five Ming seals on a half-foot square silver note, which were used to distinguish the authenticity of ordinary people and merchants.

There are more than a dozen dark seals.

Among these dark marks, Chen Xi’s best-in-class is printing Arabic numerals, Roman numerals and Latin. English words are on them, corresponding to different vote values ​​and numbers. When people do not understand the meaning of these words, others cannot imitate such dark marks.

Chen Xi added "silver thread" and "gold thread" to each silver note, and pressed the two silver note into pieces. When making paper, the dark patterns and watermarks were added by changing the consistency of paper-making raw materials, which greatly increased the difficulty of counterfeiting silver note.

Chen Xi started making his silver notes sample from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and it was not until the genius of the 29th lunar month that he showed it to Hui Niang, even Zhou and Xie Yuner held the exquisite silver notes sample like pictures in their hands and played with them repeatedly.

"Xiaolang, this thing is very interesting. Why does it look like a personal portrait inside, but it looks a bit like the Sun sister?"

Xie Yuner held the silver note and looked at the sunshine when Shen Xi explained the watermark. Sure enough, there was a vivid portrait of a woman on the silver note, just like Hui Niang's shadow was printed on it.

Hui Niang is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the shopkeeper of the silver account, and the soul of building a business empire. Printing her avatar on the silver account in a watermark is a recognition of her achievements and letting people all over the world know who the owner of the silver account is.

The small silver note is not as bright as the colorful New Year pictures, but it is like a beautiful work of art, which makes Hui Niang, Xie Yuner and Zhou love it.

Hui Niang was originally worried that the anti-counterfeiting performance of the silver bill was not enough and it was easy to be forged. However, with Chen Xi's explanation of the anti-counterfeiting technology of the silver bill, Hui Niang completely eliminated her previous concerns, and she couldn't wait to launch this special "passbook" after the New Year.

"Xiaolang, if you want to study in the future, you can't let you be responsible for printing silver notes by yourself. But if you hire outsiders and the printing technology will spread, our silver business may collapse at any time."

The anti-counterfeiting performance of silver notes is very high, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to study technology. Hui Niang has huge concerns about internal leaks.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Auntie, just be assured. The process of printing silver notes is much more complicated than printing New Year's paintings. The watermark is not drawn later, nor is it pressed. It is required to complete it when making paper. There are four silver notes, representing different silver notes values, but there are multiple pieces of numbered printing plates and dark pattern printing plates, which need to be suppressed in layers."

"The division of labor during the printing process is clear, and the last few steps can be completed by the aunt himself. Even if the thief bribed our printing master, they would not be able to get our printing plate and a complete set of printing technology."

Chen Xi asked himself that the silver notes he designed had higher anti-counterfeiting performance than those circulated after the Jiajing period of the Qing Dynasty, and could even be comparable to those of later generations. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, where technology was relatively underdeveloped, some people wanted to forge silver notes with such high anti-counterfeiting performance, which was difficult to climb the sky.

Hui Niang was completely relieved when she heard Chen Xi’s words.

With the banknotes, the bank account can carry out deposit and withdrawal business in other places. Businesses do not need to bring heavy silver coins on the way. They only need to exchange the banknotes at the destination. After arriving at the destination, they can even use the banknotes to settle the payment directly. Even if the banknotes are lost or robbed in the middle, the banknotes have the function of reporting losses to ensure the interests of the banknote holders to the greatest extent.

After all, the bank account is a joint-stock system. Hui Niang also needs to obtain the recognition of the following shareholders. Hui Niang occupies more than 50% of the bank account. According to the previously agreed bank account development strategy, as long as Hui Niang agrees, others have no veto power.

Hui Niang took the silver notes to the shareholders, which was more like a courteous notice than soliciting shareholders' opinions.

In fact, when shareholders saw bank notes with such good printing quality and high anti-counterfeiting performance, they also hoped that bank not only could facilitate transactions between merchants, but also brought huge benefits to bank not only.

With the recognition of the bank shareholders, Hui Niang is more confident in promoting bank notes.

In the last few days of the year, she asked Chen Xi to print dozens of silver notes with stamps with a seal. She checked the quality and after confirming that there was no problem with the printing process, she printed silver notes worth 5,000 taels, ranging from five taels, ten taels, twenty taels, and fifty taels, and used for issuance after the New Year.

The silver bills are implemented in a silver standard system. If the silver bills are printed, there must be a silver in the silver bill. Hui Niang is going to hand over these five thousand taels of silver bills to the shopkeepers in the chamber of commerce who have deposited silver in the bank account, so that they can be pioneers to ask for directions for the development of the silver bill business.
