I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In Qing State, Chen Jia and Chen Jue's business territory continued to expand, and the silver bill business, as a key link, was widely circulated in the market. However, despite a series of anti-counterfeiting measures they had taken before, fake silver bills still appeared from time to time like ghosts, disrupting the financial order. Chen Jia and Chen Jue realized that the anti-counterfeiting battle was like sailing against the current, and if they did not advance, they would retreat, so they had to further strengthen the anti-counterfeiting design of silver bills.

That day, the sun shone through the window into the study room of the Chen Mansion. Chen Jia sat at the desk, holding a banknote in her hand, frowning and examining it carefully. Chen Jue walked in and saw her focused look, and asked softly: "Madam, are you still worried about the fake banknote?"

Chen Jia raised her head, her eyes full of worry and determination: "Husband, you see, we have made many improvements in banknote paper, printing technology, etc., but there are still people who can counterfeit banknotes. It seems that we have to work harder on the design of the banknote picture and the printing dye, and add more anti-counterfeiting marks."

Chen Jue sat down and thought for a moment before saying, "My lady, what you said is absolutely right. We can incorporate more unique elements into the design of the banknote to make it more recognizable. But how can we replace the printing dye to achieve a better anti-counterfeiting effect?"

Chen Jia frowned slightly and thought: "I heard that there is a special plant dye that will show different colors under different lighting conditions. If we can use it for silver bill printing, it will definitely increase the difficulty of anti-counterfeiting. Moreover, in terms of picture design, we can draw a panoramic picture based on the famous mountains and rivers of Qing State, and incorporate various hidden anti-counterfeiting marks in the details."

Chen Jue's eyes lit up and he said, "My lady, this is a great idea! Using the mountains and rivers of Qing as the background not only highlights the characteristics of Daqing, but also cleverly sets anti-counterfeiting marks during the drawing process. For example, in the outlines of the mountains and rivers, some miniature bank names or special symbols can be hidden, which can only be seen with specific tools."

Chen Jia nodded in agreement and added, "Also, we can use special fluorescent dyes to print certain key parts of the picture. Under normal light, these parts are no different from other patterns, but under ultraviolet light, unique patterns or text will appear, which serves as an important anti-counterfeiting mark."

Chen Jue continued, "Then we can design a complex lace pattern on the edge of the banknote. This pattern is composed of specific lines and symbols, which is unique and difficult to copy. In addition, we can combine the banknote number with the lace pattern and use a certain encryption algorithm to make the number and pattern echo each other, increasing the difficulty of counterfeiting."

After the two men had made their decision, they immediately summoned the city's top painters, dyers, and printers to gather at Chen's house.

The painter spoke first: "Madam, Duke, it takes some time and effort to create such a complex picture with so many anti-counterfeiting marks. I suggest making a detailed design sketch first, and repeatedly considering every detail to ensure that it is both beautiful and highly anti-counterfeiting."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "Master, what you said is absolutely right. This sketch must be refined, and every anti-counterfeiting mark must be cleverly hidden, yet easily identifiable during inspection."

The dye master continued, "Madam, the special plant dye you mentioned is difficult to obtain. It grows in remote valleys and is not easy to collect. Moreover, to make it into a dye suitable for printing, it requires multiple experiments and adjustments to the formula."

Chen Jia said seriously: "Master, we will fully support you in obtaining the manpower and material resources needed for the dye. You must develop dyes that meet the requirements as soon as possible to ensure their stability and anti-counterfeiting effect."

The printing master was embarrassed. "Madam, Duke, the use of new dyes and complex image designs requires extremely high printing technology. We need to transform the existing printing equipment and train the craftsmen to master new printing techniques."

Chen Jue said, "Master, we will fully bear the cost of equipment modification. We must also not neglect the training of craftsmen. We must ensure that they are proficient in the new printing technology and guarantee the printing quality of each banknote."

In the following days, the painter studied day and night and carefully drew the design sketch. He vividly displayed the mountains and rivers of Qing Kingdom on the drawing, and cleverly hid the miniature anti-counterfeiting logo in the folds of the mountains and the ripples of the rivers.

The dye master went deep into the remote valley to collect special plants, and after returning to the workshop, he plunged into experiments. After countless blending and testing, he finally developed a dye that can show different colors under different light conditions and is suitable for printing.

The printing master led the craftsmen to transform the printing equipment and repeatedly debug it to adapt to the new printing requirements. At the same time, the craftsmen were strictly trained, and every detail from the amount of ink applied to the pressure control of printing was carefully explained and demonstrated.

After months of hard work, the new silver note design and printing plan was finally completed. Chen Jia held the new silver note with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "My husband, look at this new silver note, the picture is exquisite, and the anti-counterfeiting mark is cleverly hidden. Under normal light, it is a beautiful picture of the mountains and rivers of Qing State; under ultraviolet light, the pattern printed with special fluorescent dyes is revealed; if you look closely, the miniature anti-counterfeiting mark and unique lace pattern make it difficult to forge."

Chen Jue took the banknote, examined it carefully, and nodded in praise: "Madam, this anti-counterfeiting upgrade has really taken a lot of effort. I hope this can completely prevent the appearance of fake banknotes."

After the new banknotes were introduced, they quickly circulated in the market. The staff of the banks and silver shops were strictly trained on the anti-counterfeiting features of the new banknotes and were able to skillfully distinguish the authenticity of the banknotes. However, not long after, the banks discovered fake banknotes.

The banker came to Chen's house in a panic and presented the fake banknotes to Chen Jia and Chen Jue: "Madam, Duke, I don't know why this fake banknote has appeared again. Although the workmanship is crude and the flaws can be found by careful identification, it still flowed into the market and affected our reputation."

Chen Jia looked at the fake banknotes with a frown on her face. "These criminals are really cunning. Even though we have upgraded our anti-counterfeiting measures, they still managed to forge them. It seems that we cannot afford to slack off in the slightest."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jue said, "Madam, perhaps we can start with the issuance and circulation of silver bills. Strengthen the control over the number of silver bills issued, and register each silver bill in detail and record its flow. At the same time, cooperate with local governments to increase the crackdown on counterfeiting of silver bills."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "What you said is absolutely right. We can also add a dynamic anti-counterfeiting mark on the banknotes that only the bank's internal staff know about, and change it regularly to make it difficult for counterfeiters to detect."

Chen Jia and Chen Jue once again devoted themselves to the work of dealing with counterfeit silver bills. They communicated and coordinated with the government, set up a special action team to combat counterfeit silver bills, and strengthened market inspections. At the same time, within the bank, a more stringent silver bill issuance and management process was formulated.

Chen Jia said to the bank staff: "From now on, every silver note issued must be recorded in detail, including the identity information of the recipient and the purpose. In addition, we will regularly change the dynamic anti-counterfeiting logo. Everyone must remember the anti-counterfeiting features at each stage and strictly check each silver note."

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Chen Jia and Chen Jue, the circulation of fake banknotes has been effectively curbed. They know that the fight against counterfeiters is a long-term battle. Only by constantly innovating anti-counterfeiting technology and strengthening management and crackdown can the reputation of banknotes and the stability of the financial market be protected. They will continue this anti-counterfeiting battle unswervingly, and defend the integrity and prosperity of business with wisdom and determination.
