Borrow the day to change the day

() Emperor Chongzhen told Bi Ziyan what Zhong Jinwei meant when they were done with the politeness.

Although Bi Ziyan is also engaged in financial work, due to the limitations of the times, he does not have a deep understanding of the various requirements of banknotes, which is why the above picture came about.

Now after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, he thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a man named Hu Zhengyan, named Cong, named Shizhu, from Xiuning County, Anhui Province. He is good at seal cutting, painting, ink making, etc. Tianqi In the seventh year, he compiled "Shizhuzhai Painting Manual", which was printed with his original printing technique of "饾非" and "端花", with beautiful ink and delicate carvings. He is a master figure in this Taoism."

Zhong Jinwei was a little curious when he heard it. The original printing techniques of "饾县" and "珠花" sounded very powerful, so he asked, "What are 饾县 and Arched Flower?"

Emperor Chongzhen hadn't heard of it either, and when Zhong Jinwei asked, he also showed a hint of curiosity, waiting for Bi Ziyan's explanation.

Bi Ziyan smiled and said: "Printing in the printing plate is based on the needs of printing. A small plate is engraved in each se. When printing, it is overprinted one by one in sequence. It looks like a patchwork of printing plates, so it is called the printing plate."

Having said that, Zhong Jinwei suddenly realized: "Is it color printing?"

"What Uncle Zhongxing said is very true." Bi Ziyan praised him.

"What about arching flowers?" Zhong Jinwei asked another technique.

"Arching is a method of engraving printing without ink. Using convex and concave plates to fit together can make the layout arch and pattern."

Isn't this similar to the embossed printing of later generations?Yes, Zhong Jinwei was very excited when he heard it. These two technologies were used in the renminbi of his time. If they are to be used now, no one will be able to counterfeit them.

Bi Ziyan was still presenting the treasure, but it was to Emperor Chongzhen. He said: "Your Majesty, I just collected a set of "Shizhuzhai Calligraphy and Painting Manual" by Mr. Shizhu, and I will bring it to His Majesty tomorrow. Your Majesty will be able to know Mr. Shizhu's skills just by looking at it." After speaking, I felt a little distressed.

Emperor Chongzhen was already curious about what Bi Ziyan described, and he was even more happy to see the real thing. At that moment, he asked Bi Ziyan, "Bi Qing, where is this ten bamboo now? I am afraid that banknotes cannot be separated from him."

Bi Ziyan thought for a while and said, "I heard that he left Xiuning, Anhui, and went to Nanzhili."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei, and Zhong Jinwei also smiled and said, "It should be this person. If the banknotes are printed beautifully, it may have a good effect on the issuance and promotion of banknotes."

"Okay, I will send Jin Yiwei to Anhui. Nanzhili will look for this Mr. Shizhu, and invite him to come to the capital to participate in state affairs." Emperor Chongzhen made a decision immediately.

After discussing the matter, he resigned and went back to work without finishing Ziyan's business.Since the invasion of Jianlu, his affairs should be the most among the six books.

After Bi Ziyan withdrew, for a while, the monarch and his subjects were relatively silent.Immediately, Zhong Jinwei broke the silence and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I have a few points to summarize this time, and I want to tell you."

"Oh, Master Zhong, just speak up if you have something to say." Emperor Chongzhen knew that Zhong Jinwei had something to express when he heard it. Generally speaking, it was very useful, so he was looking forward to it.

"Your Majesty, the King Qin army outside can eliminate so many soldiers at one time. It remains to be seen whether the remaining soldiers are strong. It is no wonder that the soldiers with wild boar skin can wreak havoc inside the pass."

"Wild boar skin?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand.

"Oh, wild boar skin is a derogatory name for Jianlu, a minister." Zhong Jinwei accidentally made a slip of the tongue and had to explain.

After explaining, he asked Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, I don't know how the Beijing camp compares with these King Qin's troops. I seem to have heard that if the Beijing camp fires a cannon, they can hit their own people."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face became slightly feverish.However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have any reservations about Zhong Jinwei, saying: "I know that the current Beijing camp has a lot of flamboyance. If we really want to fight, I'm afraid it won't be much better than King Qin's army."

In fact, it is not a question of how good it is, but a question of how bad it is. The matter of eating empty wages and drinking the blood of soldiers is even more serious.

"Your Majesty, this elimination of troops is very dangerous." Then Zhong Jinwei and Emperor Chongzhen analyzed why Zu Dashou's army cooperated and its role in the elimination of troops.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and said, "I promised Master Sun before that I would never blame Zu Dashou, and I am very satisfied with the performance in this elimination. Master Zhong can let someone tell him that even if he has a relationship with Jian The prisoner was captured in battle, and I believe he is loyal."

Zhong Jinwei's head crashed suddenly. In history, Zu Dashou returned to Daming after the defeat of Dalinghe and pretended to surrender. Emperor Chongzhen promoted him instead. Is this the reason?But in history, I didn't travel through it.

I can't figure it out, or I don't want to.Zhong Jinwei let go of the muddle in his mind, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, after this elimination of troops, I feel that the reform of the Ming military system is necessary, and I have a deeper understanding. Now it has really reached the point where it must be changed."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded. On this point, in the previous meeting, everyone had already reached a consensus, but because Jianlu was still in the capital, he hadn't dared to prepare for it.

"Your Majesty, one of the prerequisites for the reform of the military system is that His Majesty has a strong army in his hands to deter other troops from making any changes."

That's right, I don't have a strong army in my hands, otherwise I wouldn't let the barbarians bully me to my door.Emperor Chongzhen thought.

In fact, in history, Emperor Chongzhen in a few years' time will be even more impressed by this.At that time, the commander-in-chief and the like who led the troops were arrogant and domineering, and they were simply warlords, but the court had nothing to do with them.Even Lu Xiangsheng, who was the Prime Minister of Bandit Suppression Affairs at the time, wanted to beg a family slave of Zu Dashou because he had a strong army of Ning Tieqi in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the Beijing camp should also be eliminated once, and then the strongest refugees from among the refugees should be selected and trained. It can kill two birds with one stone." Zhong Jinwei suggested to Emperor Chongzhen.

Hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, an inner servant in the corner quickly raised his head and glanced at Zhong Jinwei, then immediately lowered himself down again. No one noticed his movement, and of course they didn't know why he acted like this.

After hearing Zhong Jinwei's suggestion, Emperor Chongzhen did not reply immediately, but meditated on the imperial chair.After a while, he raised his head and said to Zhong Jinwei: "I know Master Zhong's intentions are to kill two birds with one stone, but it's not suitable right now. I don't have the Guan Ning Army that Master Sun had when he eliminated troops. Do you understand?"

Zhong Jinwei still didn't understand the truth when Emperor Chongzhen said that the Guanning Army was when Sun Chengzong eliminated his troops.

Zhong Jinwei also knew that Emperor Chongzhen was right to worry, so he didn't think about it.

The Beijing camp is to defend the capital, if they are eliminated, they will be no better than the king's army.The generals of King Qin's army have been eliminated now, and they can still eat empty wages and drink soldiers' blood when they go back. This is one of the reasons why they didn't make trouble in the end.

As for the Jingying, if they are eliminated, they will have no chance to pay for it.I am afraid that there will be fierce resistance to this matter of taking money by sword.At the current juncture, if there is a trouble, no one can bear the responsibility. It might be cheaper to build a prisoner, so he can't take this risk.

So Zhong Jinwei nodded, thinking to himself that Emperor Chongzhen was too old to think about problems.

"However, I will leave this chess piece sooner or later. At that time, Master Zhong will have to help me more." Emperor Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, I am duty-bound." Zhong Jinwei immediately promised.

After talking about this matter, it seemed to be all right, Zhong Jinwei wanted to leave.Suddenly, I remembered my private affairs.So, he said to Emperor Chongzhen again: "Your Majesty, I have a private matter."

Zhong Jinwei seldom mentioned private matters. Emperor Chongzhen was very interested, so he asked, "Master Zhong, what's the matter?"
