Chapter 1183: Means
Zhu Muyun is a spy of the Political Security Bureau, and this kind of thing is of course his forte. Moreover, Zhu Muyun also hopes that Shi Dongliang can find an effective way as soon as possible, because the military commander still has a steady stream of counterfeit banknotes coming in. When the time comes, we need to learn from the experience of Shi Dongliang.
"Brother Shi, if the soft ones don't work, come to the hard ones, arrest a few people and go to the Sixth Division, do they dare not tell the truth?" Zhu Muyun said with a smile that many people like to collect ancient books. However, how can there be so many ancient books? Therefore, we can only use some means to create some ancient texts for them.
Shi Dongliang was overjoyed when he heard this, and with Zhu Muyun's method, he quickly asked for a solution, and the effect was not bad. To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple, that is, boiled in tea. Once boiling, add a little vinegar for better results.
Shi Dongliang deliberately showed the processed counterfeit banknotes to Zhu Muyun to see, and the counterfeit banknotes boiled with tea were already difficult to distinguish. Shi Dongliang was very proud, asked Zhu Muyun to help, and asked a few people to help compare. He also deliberately went to Zhu Muyun's house, took out the processed middle storage coupons, and asked him to inspect them in person.
"In fact, there is no need to compare, get the bank, the bank number and these places that deal with money every day, people will know it at a glance." Zhu Muyun smiled and said that if he deliberately found someone to compare, it would be a bad thing.
The Japanese have cracked down on counterfeit banknotes, even though they have been imitating fiat money for several years. However, in the face of Chongqing's imitation of the China Reserve Bonds, they could not sit still.
The secession of modern warlords has caused China's currency to be unable to unify for a long time. In 1935, the Nationalist Government, with the support of Britain, the United States and other countries, carried out currency reform, and the Chinese currency issued by the Bank of China, the Central Bank, the Bank of Communications, and the Farmers' Bank was legal tender, and only the above four banks had the right to issue legal tender.
Since the fiat currency unified the Chinese currency and implemented a fixed exchange rate with the British pound, the prestige of the Chinese currency was enhanced, which played a positive role in the recovery and development of China's economy and in the financial preparation for the War of Resistance against Japan.
As a result, it was strongly opposed by Japan, and even openly claimed that it would not hesitate to completely block China's currency reform in any way. Furujo, vice minister of the Japanese Ministry of the Army, accused China of "obviously abandoning its pro-Japanese policy" and that the Japanese side "will resolutely attack it, and even if it resorts to force, it will certainly prevent its realization."
As a result, when the Chinese government demanded that various countries sell silver in Chinese banks in exchange for fiat currency, Japan flatly refused and instructed ronin to smuggle silver on a large scale.
In 1935, more than 4 million silver dollars were smuggled into North China every month. From January to September 1935, more than 144 million yen of silver was smuggled from Shanghai to Japan. Japan formulated and threw out the "North China Financial Emergency Prevention Measures", which clearly prohibits the circulation of fiat currency in North China.
When Japan was unable to stop China's currency reform and felt that China's anti-Japanese preparations were gradually showing their effectiveness, it struck first and launched a full-scale aggression against China shortly after China's currency reform.
The exercise and circulation of legal tender has enabled the Chinese Government to take charge of the issuance and withdrawal of currency, stabilized and expanded the government's fiscal revenue, and has also enabled the Chinese side to grasp cash and concentrate precious metals such as silver and silver to the greatest extent possible for the purpose of purchasing arms from the international market, which is very beneficial to China's anti-aggression war.
At the end of 1938, due to the limitations of its own resources and troops, the Japanese army stopped its large-scale military offensive against China. In order to gain a monopoly on finance in the occupied territories, the Japanese secret services were ordered to counterfeit fiat currency.
As Zhu Muyun is a Chinese spy agent, it is impossible for the Japanese side to tell him the details. However, as Gu Xing's supreme official in charge of economic investigation, he knew more than others.
For example, he knew that some merchants who were in the currency exchange business had counterfeit fiat currency in their hands. It was exchanged from Japanese businessmen, and even from Japanese spies. One hundred fake fiat currencies only costs sixty real fiat currencies, and in order to make profits, these people take risks. In the small way, it is the people who deceive it, and in the big way, it is the country that is harmed. Their behavior is a complete traitorous act.
Now, Chongqing is printing fake China Reserve Coupons, and Zhu Muyun naturally supports it. Give someone a taste of their own medicine. It also allows the Japanese army to experience the tragedy of being destroyed by others.
Of course, in this economic war, it will be the people who will suffer in the end. However, in which war, it was not these ordinary people who suffered? From the moment the Nanjing government had the China Reserve Bills, it was destined to eventually become a piece of waste paper. As long as you believe that the war of resistance will be won, you will feel this way.
As the war deepens, the Chongqing government will inevitably issue currency indiscriminately in order to support it. This is the reason why Zhu Muyun has never been interested in paper money, and he always likes to use hard currency as the payment currency when making important transactions with people. In particular, gold bars are easy to carry and can directly poke into the heart of the other party.
"The bank has deposited, the silver account has been used, and various businesses and foreign banks have also bought things, and so far, no one has recognized them." Shi Dongliang said with a smile.
"That's good, Brother Shi, congratulations." Zhu Muyun arched his hand and said with a smile.
"Now there is only one question left, find 'Boss Huang'." Shi Dongliang gritted his teeth and said.
"This man will definitely come out to disturb, and we will pay attention to him." Zhu Muyun said solemnly. After speaking, he added: "Dare to come to the sixth division to defraud, this person is impatient." ”
"Mu Yun, this is a little bit of the Sixth Division's heart, please be sure to accept it." Shi Dongliang took out a brocade box containing ten gold bars. Although it is not much, it is already the greatest sincerity for the current Sixth Division.
"Since it's the intention of the sixth master, I'm disrespectful." Zhu Muyun reached out and took it, not feeling embarrassed at all. His appearance was almost like a robbery, and his hands were pressed on the brocade box, as if he was afraid that Shi Dongliang would regret it.
After sending Shi Dongliang away, Zhu Muyun sat in the living room, carefully admiring the gold bars in the brocade box. Compared with the information he provided, saving 500,000 Zhongchu bonds from the Sixth Division, ten gold bars is not much. However, whenever he has the opportunity, he still has to show his greed.
"Yo, what are you doing to lack virtue? Shi Dongliang will send you gold bars. After Yu Xinyu waited for Shi Dongliang to leave, when he saw Zhu Muyun's appearance, he had an indescribable disgust in his heart, and said sarcastically.
"I'm doing this for the benefit of the people, otherwise, people will be grateful to us?" Zhu Muyun said with a smile, he took out two gold bars and tapped them softly in his ear, enjoying the beautiful sound brought by the gold bars.
"I really don't know what you're doing with so much money?" Yu Xinyu looked at Zhu Muyun's appearance, and felt even more disgusted. Dealing with such people all day long will make you numb yourself in the future.
"No matter what age it is, it's always good to have money." Zhu Muyun put away the gold bars unsatisfactorily, since Yu Xinyu was disgusted, he naturally couldn't always disgust her. If Yu Xinyu leaves angrily, he will be criticized by Deng Xiangtao.
Yu Xinyu doesn't care much about money, that's because she was born in a wealthy family and has never been short of money, let alone what it's like to be hungry. She didn't know what kind of life the people in the base area were like. Even, she hadn't seen the miserable life of the people at the bottom of Guxing.
If Yu Xinyu knew that these ten gold bars could solve the problem of how many people could eat, she would be able to understand why Zhu Muyun attached so much importance to it.
After Zhu Muyun put the gold bars into his briefcase, he took a walk and left the house. The latest intelligence, he needs to communicate with Deng Xiangtao. The Japanese army has launched a new offensive in Changsha, and both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party need to abandon their old suspicions. At the very least, don't kill each other.
"District seat, today Shi Dongliang came to my house, and the middle storage coupons in his hand have all been processed." Zhu Muyun took out a few central reserve coupons left by Shi Dongliang and handed them to Deng Xiangtao.
"How did you get this?" After Deng Xiangtao saw it, he was very surprised and said.
Because Chongqing's central reserve bonds were discovered, now the military commanders have stopped moving. All the new reserve bonds are very difficult to use. In the past few days, when several people in the military command were using money, they were discovered by merchants, and some were even sent to the police station.
"It's very simple, add some tea and vinegar to the middle reserve coupon and cook it together." Zhu Muyun said that he did not expect that Chongqing's central reserve bonds, whether it is paper, printing technology and ink, are better than those of the Nanjing government.
"It's a good idea." Deng Xiangtao nodded.
"The technology in the United States is so good that if we print it ourselves, it may be worse." Zhu Muyun said.
"Print it yourself?" Deng Xiangtao's eyes lit up, and Zhu Muyun's unintentional words attracted his attention.
"Yes, if it is printed in the United States and shipped back, the cost of a hundred yuan will be dozens of dollars, right? Of course, the lower the cost of doing business, the better, and if we print it ourselves, the cost can be reduced by more than half. Zhu Muyun said.
"Your suggestion is good, I'll report it to the bureau." Deng Xiangtao said.
"District, Changsha has started a war, when will we make a move?" Zhu Muyun asked.
"The Nationalist army has decided to defend Changsha and take the opportunity to strike at the enemy's goal. The 3rd, 5th, and 6th theaters should take advantage of the situation to attack the enemy in front of them and deal a serious blow to the enemy. Guxing Airport is already methodically smuggling explosives, and the Sixth Theater intends to counterattack Yichang. Deng Xiangtao said that telling Zhu Muyun these things was to let him consciously collect information in this regard.
"The defenders of Yichang are empty at this time, and it is the best time to counterattack." Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"Not bad. The 9th Theater sniped the Japanese army head-on, we wreaked havoc in Guxing, and the 6th Theater took advantage of the situation to recover Yichang. If they can do it, the Japanese army can only retreat in Guxing in the future. Deng Xiangtao said with a smile that the situation is still very good, as long as all parties are sincerely united, why worry about the Japanese army?
"Actually, the seventeenth detachment can also do it all at once, they have a few hundred more guns this time, and they have a lot to do." Zhu Muyun said casually.
"Don't talk about these guns, we really lost our wife and soldiers this time. The money was given to the 6th Division, but the guns were intercepted by Jiutou Mountain halfway. Deng Xiangtao scolded bitterly.
