Chapter 114: The Counterfeit Money Turmoil of the Great Qi Tongbao (Part I)
After Dongguo Shu was arrested and imprisoned, under the interrogation of Dali Yuying and Keqing Gongsun Qiao, he quickly confessed the facts of his crime. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but in the eyes of Yu Ying and Gongsun Qiao, it has become a ladder, a ladder to look at the conspiracy mountain.
The matter is not over, Dongguo Shu is just a person who exchanges real money for fake money at a low price, uses fake money to buy food, and then the grain is bought by a mysterious person, and earns the difference back and forth.
So here's the thing, who made fake money, and which mysterious person bought food in large quantities? What did the man have in mind when he hoarded a lot of food?
All kinds of mysteries kept Yu Ying and Gongsun Qiao awake all night, and the next morning, they told the Minister of State Yan Ying and his own monarch about the matter.
Neither of them had a clue, and Qi Jinggong just ordered the matter to be investigated secretly and thoroughly, and not to leak it out. But it backfired, I don't know who leaked the news, rumors spread in Linzi City, and the matter of Daqi Tongbao fake money was in an uproar.
The people were in a hurry, worried that the coins in their hands were fake, and they had to consume the big Qi Tongbao in their hands, and the prices in Linzi City soared, and the grain shops were all bought out, in short, people were panicked.
In this turmoil, Linzi City was like a spring, and his aftermath was bubbling towards the other territories of Qi State. The state of Qi encountered the third major crisis after the rebellion of the leopard in Zitian and the attack of Jin Yan on Qi.
After Qi Jinggong heard this, he summoned Yan Ying, Yu Ying and Gongsun Qiao, and without saying a word, he angrily picked up the book and threw it at the three of them.
Gongsun Qiao was originally a foreign minister and should not be humiliated, but after all, he is now the guest secretary of Qi State and the key person in this case, so he does have an unshirkable responsibility, so he also silently suffered this blow.
"Tell me, how to solve it?" Qi Jinggong took a few shots.
The martingale covered his head, this was the second time he was smashed by his own king, and his head was bleeding, "Your Majesty, catch, catch those who spread rumors."
When Gongsun Qiao heard this, he strongly objected, "Qi Hou, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan!" These people, can't be caught! One catch, it's not true, it's also true. ”
Yan Ying glanced at Gongsun Qiao, "Your Majesty, what the child doctor said is reasonable!" Now, if we arrest those who spread rumors and put them in prison, this just proves people's fears that someone has faked Daqi Tongbao. Imagine that people know about this, they will definitely use the only remaining Great Qi Tongbao in their hands to buy items, so that the price will be higher and higher, but these are not the most terrible, the terrible thing is that the reputation of the imperial court is no longer there, and your face will be blackened."
"That's it! The widow knows that the widow is asking for advice, advice, not your number! Qi Jing angrily smashed the book on the desk.
Yan Ying hurriedly added, "For today's plan, it is nothing more than to stabilize people's hearts!" To stabilize people's hearts, we must first stabilize prices, so that people will not worry about their survival because of the fake money turmoil. ”
"Qi Hou, what Prime Minister Yan said is reasonable. The most important thing now is to stabilize prices, especially for food. Now the grain in the market has ten copper coins and one stone, and the price has increased tenfold from the early beginning! Gongsun Qiao said.
"Huh?! Zhong You, Zhong You, you quickly go and pass the Mansion Aikong to the Mansion of the People."
Gongsun Xia has been very happy these days, since that day he got the guidance of the masters, using the mysterious identity of others, to buy a large amount of grain, and now the price of food is soaring, and his heart is happy.
"The head of the family, the grain is ten stones, can you sell it now?" The steward took a folding fan and gave Gongsun Xia the wind.
Gongsun Xia smiled, and the sound of the folding fan hit the man's head, "Hey, don't sell, don't sell, don't sell if it's not fifteen."
"Huh!" When the steward heard this, the fan was even more festive.
Yangsheng Mansion.
Yang Sheng also got the matter of Dongguo's family buying and selling grain with fake money from the channel, he thought it was just a disease of scabies, but he didn't expect that the more things developed, the more beyond his expectations.
The run on the currency, prices skyrocketed, neighborhood transactions returned to the original knife currency exchange, and even a large number of barter, which has been abandoned for hundreds of years, appeared.
Looking at the increasingly depressed Linzi, thinking of the hot Qi country, thinking of his father's sleepless night, Yangsheng was also angry, he complained about the damn Dongguo family, and complained about the naughty and mischievous brother Lu Di who harmed the Qi country.
Without him, what nonsense is Qi Tongbao, where did the current thing come from? Yang Sheng summoned his henchman Kan Zhi overnight to discuss the matter.
Kan Zhi is also helpless and has no clue at all, fighting an economic war, maybe only Guan Zhong can survive the current crisis by reincarnation!
The currency crisis in Qi is getting worse and worse, and the surrounding countries have also felt it, like Kong Qiu and his party who were trapped in Ju.
On this day, Yan Hui took the Great Qi Tongbao to buy food on the street, but after the Najia people saw that the coin was the Great Qi Tongbao, they shook their heads and refused to accept it.
Duanmu Ci felt very strange, in the past, when he used to buy food with the Great Qi Tongbao, the Jia people were always happy, but now why did such a earth-shaking change occur?
He hurriedly asked the reason, and Jia Ren told him about the recent events in Qi State. Duanmu Ci was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about buying food, so he hurriedly returned to the post house surrounded by soldiers.
"Master, it's not good!" Duanmu was sweating profusely.
Kong Qiu was stroking the qin, and the disciples gathered around him to comprehend the avenue in the qin, and they were so shouted by Duanmu Ci that they all turned their heads in disbelief.
Duanmu Ci was about to say more, but saw Yan Hui hurriedly shook his head.
As if he hadn't heard Duanmuci's shout, Kong Qiu continued to immerse himself in his piano.
Folding, twisting, wiping, picking...
The soul-like sound burst out in the three-foot guqin, and the water droplets on the eaves dripped down, and finally fell into the water, setting off a circle of ripples.
"I once told you that a gentleman should guard himself like jade, and now some of you have done it! But you have not done it, a gentleman should guard his heart like ice," when Kong Qiu finished playing the tune, he pressed the strings with his hand and looked at the disciples.
When the disciples heard this, they were first overjoyed, and then they were all ashamed.
Yan replied, "Master, you said that a gentleman should guard his body like jade, and he understands a little, but why should a gentleman guard his heart like ice?"
"Yes, Master! The disciple was also a little puzzled, jade is soft, ice is cold and hard, these two seem to be opposite things, right? It was Yan Yan, a newly recruited disciple of Kong Qiu, who spoke.
"Yes, Master, don't you always teach us to be the same? Why is it the other way around? The disciples chattered and turned their heads to each other.
Kong Qiu smiled slightly, "People always want to see what they like to see, and they hate what is harmful to them!" ”
"You see the softness of jade, but you forget that jade is actually a kind of stone, but this kind of stone is very special!"
"Where's the ice? In fact, it is the same, you see the coldness and hardness of ice, but you forget the crystal clarity and purity of ice, and forget that no matter how strong the wind is, it will not make waves like water."
Duanmu Ci's face turned a little red when he heard this, in fact, his master was saying that no matter how big things he encountered, he should maintain that pure crystal heart that remained unchanged, so he took the lead in saluting and said, "Master, be ashamed!" ”
Kong Qiu nodded with a smile, and then said, "Zigong, what happened to you in a panic before?" ”
