My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

"I can learn it, but it's very difficult!"

"Given the level of craftsmanship in each era, trying to research and overcome these challenges from scratch would be no less difficult than rebuilding the Great Wall."

"It requires a huge investment, takes a long time, and there's no guarantee of success."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the emperors all looked regretful.

"But I have another idea that's still in its early stages."

"Say it!"

The emperors became interested again.

"You can add another layer of protection through officials at various levels!"

Chen Mo picked up an ordinary piece of white paper and gestured with his fingers as he spoke.

"For example, when the imperial court issues new currency or banknotes, the central mint or printing bureau can stamp the first and most important official seal on the seal of each banknote or each string of new coins."

"Then, when this batch of money was distributed to the prefectures, the prefectural officials would check the quantity and verify the first seal before stamping it with the official seal of the prefecture."

"The state government then distributes the documents to the counties, where the county magistrates verify them and affix their county seals."

"It could even be required that the local municipal government inspect and mark the product before it is put into circulation on the market."

As Chen Mo spoke, he made dots on the paper, simulating the process of stamping layers.

"In this way, every banknote or every new coin that can circulate normally will be valid."

"In theory, they should all bear at least three or four different levels of official seals from the central to the local level that are difficult to forge."

"There are several advantages to doing this: First, it increases the difficulty of forgery. Forgers need to imitate multiple official seals of different levels at the same time, which is almost impossible to do perfectly."

"Secondly, and more importantly, a clear chain of responsibility has been established."

Chen Mo's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"If counterfeit currency appears on the market and successfully circulates, the imperial court can immediately pinpoint the source of the problem based on the missing or poorly forged official seal of a certain level on the counterfeit currency—was it due to inadequate verification by the prefectural government? Or a problem with the county government? Or even a spies within the mint?"

"Then we can investigate precisely, layer by layer! If any seal is missing or incorrect, we can hold the responsible official and those involved accountable for their negligence, and even directly deduce whether they were involved!"

"This is far more efficient and deterrent than aimless nationwide maritime fishing inspections!"

Old Zhu nodded as he listened, but after a while he still frowned and said...

"What if it turns out like the blank seal case?"

"What if they all agree to get the stamps done, and there's a corruption chain running from the mint to the bottom? What then?"

"After all, getting money just by stamping a document is much better than accepting a bribe!"

"In that case, it will be the reputation of my Great Ming Dynasty that will be damaged!"

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

Therefore, I strongly recommend that you purchase pre-made special paper with basic anti-counterfeiting features directly from me!

"For example, paper with a fixed watermark pattern, or paper with an embedded security thread."

"These are the foundation of anti-counterfeiting measures, and also the most difficult parts to counterfeit."

Chen Mo looked at everyone.

"All you need to do is ship these specially made papers back, and then use your own printing plates to print your year, design, denomination, and so on."

"The anti-counterfeiting features of banknotes produced in this way would be more than enough to overwhelm any possible counterfeiters of your time!"

"You'll get one bill for every one you buy, and the amount of money on each bill will be fixed!"

"What if someone still manages to crack it?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but worry.

"My Great Ming Treasure Notes have lost all credibility because of that old man!"

"If it gets forged again, then the Ming Dynasty's credibility will probably be completely exhausted!"

Chen Mo glanced at him, shook his head, and smiled.

"If someone in your time could have cracked and perfectly replicated all the anti-counterfeiting technologies I just demonstrated, without relying on any modern equipment, but solely on manual labor and the techniques of the time..."

He paused for a moment, then a smile of admiration appeared on his face.

"For example, he can create complex optically variable inks by himself, hand-carve miniature text plates, and use rudimentary methods to produce uniform fluorescent fibers that can be precisely implanted into paper... and he can even mass-produce them!"

"That fucking..."

As Chen Mo spoke, he himself couldn't hold back anymore.

"That guy is beyond awesome!"

"That's practically the god of industry descending to earth!"

"With that skill and brains, why would he need to forge money?"

"Does this guy think he's writing a novel?!"

"You won't need to go through me then; just lock him in a dark room and let him think about it!"

"No food if you can't come up with an answer!"

"If he's alright, give him a couple more lashes to spark some inspiration."

The emperors exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, looking very generous.

"As you say! Buy the paper!"

Liu Che nodded as well.

"Can!"

Li Shimin also nodded slightly.

"This method is safe."

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more impatient.

"Young Chen, what's the price for this kind of paper with a watermark and security thread? Give us ten thousand reams first! Let's test the waters!"

"Ten thousand coins? Father, no offense, but does Hongwu have that much money?"

Zhu Di looked at Chen Mo.

"Give me 50,000 orders first!"

"Fuck you, you little brat!"

Old Zhu put his hand back on his belt.

"Look at you, always in such a hurry!"

As Zhu Di spoke, he pulled Zhu Biao in front of him.

"These are all emperors here, at least give me some face!"

"I'll spare your damn face!"

Old Zhu roared angrily.

He immediately gave everyone a demonstration of how to draw a Judy from a Chongba cigarette, and how to avoid the Yongle mark...

Li Shimin looked at Zhu Di, who was dodging Zhu Di while yelling, and felt a mix of emotions.

If his relationship with Li Yuan could be like that...

Chen Mo stood aside, watching them with a smile.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the bell rang.

Chen Mo picked up his phone and answered the call in front of everyone.

"Feed? Oh! Has the car arrived? Okay, I'll be right there!"

"Has my car arrived?!"

Ying Zheng looked excited.

The emperors: ? ? ?

All the emperors except Ying Zheng were stunned, and even Zhu Yuanzhang stopped what he was doing.

The group stared blankly at Ying Zheng.

Then, everyone's gazes turned to Chen Mo.

"The car? Your car???"

"Manager Chen? What exactly is going on?"

Why does he have that car?

"We want one too!"

"Give me one or two too!!!"
