The next morning after Chu Fan arranged all his affairs, when he woke up from his sleep, the system kindly reminded him that the new January sign-in could begin.

Chu Fan signed in excitedly. When he checked the sign-in rewards, the item that appeared before him made his eyes sparkle with excitement. Because if it were on Blue Star, using this item would undoubtedly cause an uproar, he would definitely not dare to show it easily.

Chu Fan's gaze turned to the Super Money Printing Machine stored in the system space. At this moment, he felt extremely fortunate to be in this alien world. He carefully read the instructions on the Super Money Printing Machine. As he understood more, his eyes became brighter and brighter, filled with anticipation.

This printing press not only allows him to design new currency styles, but even more amazingly, it can automatically generate the ink, materials, and electricity needed to print currency every month. Although the monthly output is fixed, the new output every month is equivalent to having an endless supply of resources.

With this money printing machine, Chu Fan began to consider how to solve the consumption problem of the villa members. Although the member identity tokens can be easily produced, how to effectively monitor the consumption situation is a difficult problem.

After all, newly built villas require members to deposit funds before they can consume. Without a comprehensive set of regulatory measures, no matter how luxurious the villa is, it will not attract people to consume. Rich people are usually shrewd and will not easily consume in places without guarantees.

With this printing machine, the problem of currency counterfeiting can be effectively solved, because the currency printed by the printing machine cannot be perfectly imitated under the current world's technological level.

In the near future, those nobles and wealthy merchants will hand over their gold and silver treasures to the villa for membership, and they will be issued with currency printed by the printing press. They can keep these currencies themselves. When they need to spend, they only need to carry these currencies to make transactions.

Chu Fan placed the money printing machine in a very hidden palace, ensuring its remoteness and safety.

Chu Fan sternly instructed Eunuch Li who was following him, "You must arrange for personnel to closely guard this palace and ensure the absolute safety of this machine. No accidents can occur to it."

Although Eunuch Li was confused as to how His Majesty could come up with such a huge iron machine and was unclear about its specific purpose, he understood that His Majesty's orders were supreme and he only needed to faithfully carry them out.

Eunuch Li immediately responded, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Chu Fan then walked into the palace alone and closed the door.

As for other matters, Chu Fan can trust Eunuch Li and others to understand and participate, but this money printing machine is a secret that must not be known to anyone.

To Chu Fan, the printing press was second only to his life. This magical device could continuously generate wealth for him, without any effort on his part. As long as he remained emperor, he believed the currency produced by this machine would never depreciate.

Whenever Chu Fan imagined his inner treasury filled with gold, silver, and treasures, tears welled up in his eyes. He had always worried that if he returned to Blue Star after completing his mission, he might not be able to give Mu Xi and other women a happy life, so he never established a clear relationship with them.

But once his inner treasury was full, he had enough confidence to provide them with the life they wanted without having to make them suffer with him.

Furthermore, this money printing machine was a high-tech masterpiece. If Eunuch Li accidentally touched any sensitive components, it could damage the machine, and Chu Fan would regret it. After all, even on Blue Star, there were only a handful of people capable of repairing such high-tech equipment.

Chu Fan walked over to the printing machine's console and discovered it was actually a computer. He expertly turned it on and found several currency samples stored inside. Chu Fan selected a sample US dollar and printed it out. He examined the dollar in his hand carefully, finding it so realistic that he couldn't tell it was real.

Of course, Chu Fan would not use the existing currency templates in the computer, because these patterns were too complex and difficult for the residents of this world to understand. Therefore, Chu Fan needed to find an artist to redraw a set of currency patterns suitable for this world.

Chu Fan decided to design the currency pattern into his own portrait, so that anyone using these currencies would recognize him immediately, thereby increasing the currency's liquidity and credibility.

What Chu Fan was thinking was indeed reasonable. But the function of this money printing machine was far more than that.

This machine not only met Chu Fan's personal needs, but it also provided a solid foundation for the establishment of the Bank of Wei. This was because the currency printed by this machine was of such high quality that no one could imitate it, and it was also equipped with advanced anti-counterfeiting markings.

Everyone knows that even banknotes issued by banks can be counterfeited by criminals through rubbing. However, in this world, if there were no printing presses, they would never be able to counterfeit real currency.

This super money printing machine will undoubtedly become the cornerstone of Chu Fan's consolidation of his power. However, once the secret of this machine is leaked, it may attract the prying eyes of those with ulterior motives, causing unrest in the entire country, and even attracting the covetousness and greed of foreign enemies.

After all, whether it is a refined salt business or other businesses such as coal, a lot of material costs and labor costs need to be invested to make a profit.

With this super printing machine, as long as the printed currency can be widely recognized by the people of Wei, Chu Fan will be able to recover the gold, silver and money from the rich businessmen and the people at no cost.

The circulation of currency is the lifeblood of a nation's economy. Controlling currency issuance is equivalent to controlling the economy's lifeblood. Chu Fan only needs to skillfully utilize this super-printing machine to gradually replace the old currency and issue new ones to thoroughly consolidate Wei's economic foundation.

Therefore, it is completely necessary for Chu Fan to be so cautious about keeping this machine confidential.

Chu Fan walked out of the room, closed the palace door, and continued to instruct Eunuch Li, "No one except me is allowed to approach this side hall. Do you understand?"

It was the first time that Eunuch Li had heard His Majesty give such a serious order. Eunuch Li firmly replied, "I will definitely have this palace guarded. Not even a fly will be allowed into the room."

Chu Fan replied: "That's the best way."

After saying this, Chu Fan left. After all, he needed to find a painter to commission a painting.

After Chu Fan left, Eunuch Li also realized the importance of the matter, so he directly asked Wei Zhongxian for two first-rank masters and four second-rank masters to guard outside the palace.
