Cargo ships docked at Kua Chau and waited in line, and the ships in front of them lined up in a long line, one by one passing through the inspection and entering the canal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info waited for a whole day and a night before Yang Yunchao's cargo ship lined up in front of the checkpoint.

A Ming army chief boarded the ship with nine soldiers, and the Ming army commander shouted: "Show the tax payment certificate and the manifest!" ”

Yang Yunchao showed the tax payment certificate and the manifest and handed it to Shi Chang.

Nine Ming soldiers inspected the ship and found no prohibited items. In fact, this chief is also an agent of the Heaven and Earth Society, and after confronting Yang Yunchao with the code, he instructed his soldiers to deliberately relax the inspection. After about a quarter of an hour, the chief disembarked with his soldiers.

"Report to the sir, there is no problem with this boat, let it go!" Shi Chang said to the general manager.

Many of the officers at the checkpoint are agents of the Heaven and Earth Society, and although they are not qualified to know what tasks the agents from the north to the south are performing, they are very clear about who should be allowed to pass and who should not be allowed to go, which ships should be strictly inspected, and which ships can be let through. So the general gave the order: "Let go!" ”

The cargo ship passed through the checkpoint and entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. When the ship passed through Yangzhou, there was a checkpoint set up by the Eight Banners Army in front, which was actually a tax collection station. The grain smuggling ships coming from the south are not so much smuggling, in fact, both sides know that these smuggling ships are hens that lay golden eggs, and both sides can profit from the smuggling boats. There are also quite a few children of the Eight Banners who directly operate smuggling boats. Therefore, the Eight Banners only collected taxes on passing ships, and did not strictly inspect them at all.

Yang Yunchao carried a total of 200,000 taels of silver in imitation of the Qing Dynasty dragon banknotes, all of which are the largest denomination of 20 taels of silver dragon banknotes, these fake dragon banknotes were printed by the Shanghai Printing House of the Nanyang Bank, the production technology is excellent, the counterfeit seals and the Qing court household department, the seal used by the Jin merchant ticket number can not see any difference at all, and the signature on the counterfeit banknote is also fake.

In order to prevent counterfeiting, the Qing court not only had the seal of the household department and ticket number, but also the signature, of course, the signature was also printed with engraving.

For the Shanghai Banknote Printing Factory, carving counterfeit signatures is not a problem at all.

When the cargo ship arrived in Dezhou, Shandong, snow fell in the sky, and before long, the ground was covered with snow. It was near evening, and the cargo ship docked at the riverside dock for the night. After nightfall, Yang Yunchao heard movement outside, so he asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is anchored in the Dongwu Wanli boat." The sound of a man chanting poetry sounded outside.

"Sir, good Yaxing!" Yang Yunchao smiled and groaned, "Come inside, please have a few drinks together and warm up!" ”

A scholar dressed in a white robe and holding a folding fan in his hand stepped into the cabin. The poem he chanted just now was actually a code for the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society. Counterfeit banknotes sent from the south will be unloaded in Shandong and used in Shandong, not sent to the capital. After all, the target of use in the capital is too large, and the Jin merchant ticket number is also concentrated in the capital, which is easy to identify as counterfeit banknotes.

The two sat in the cabin and drank until late at night, and the scholar stayed on board for one night. The next day, someone removed the grain bag containing the counterfeit money from the ship.

Within a few days, there were people all over Shandong who bought various commodities with 20 taels of silver, and the changed money recovered was collected, and a special person sent the ticket number to exchange it for cash.

Unconsciously, a large number of counterfeit banknotes poured in from the south and flowed into the northern market. These counterfeit banknotes are fake and genuine, and ordinary people can't distinguish them at all, even if they are officials of the household department of the Qing court, they can't distinguish the authenticity. Even if it is a person with a Jin merchant ticket number, he can only distinguish a counterfeit banknote by comparing the number.

Nanjing, Wang Yu's residence.

In the study, Chen Yonghua reported an important matter to Wang Yuyu: "The latest news sent from the north, the Tartars have implemented the pseudo-Qing dragon banknotes in North Korea!" The North Koreans were forced to use Tartar banknotes, and there was no other side to exchange them for cash! In addition, the Tartars also issued an announcement in North Korea that the collection of taxes was also the collection of counterfeit Qinglong banknotes. Starting next year, the grain grown by North Korean farmers must be sold and exchanged for fake Qing Long banknotes before they can pay taxes, which will force North Koreans to use fake Qing Dragon banknotes. ”

"How did the North Koreans react?" Wang Yuyou asked.

Chen Yonghua replied: "The North Koreans are naturally dissatisfied, their treasury has been looted by the Tartars, and there are only rats left in the treasury!" The harsh taxes imposed on the North Koreans are much more serious than those in North China, and even the North Koreans have to pay taxes on their water! But the Tartars don't count, they also use fake Qing dragon money to further loot the North Koreans! In winter, the fish and shrimp, sea cucumbers, pearls obtained by the North Koreans who have worked hard to catch them in the sea, deer antlers, bear paws, deer tendons, and mountain ginseng dug up by going up the mountain are all exchanged for worthless paper money by the Tartars! How can North Koreans not complain? ”

Wang Xinyu listened to Chen Yonghua's report and almost held back a smile. The Qing court looted Korea on a large scale, emptied all the Korean treasury, and the Korean treasury was empty. The Qing court brutally squeezed those Goryeo sticks, which made Wang Xinyu feel very happy.

Originally, the Qing court destroyed Korea, which is a good thing! A small country like the DPRK should be integrated into the Chinese nation. However, for various reasons, from the Tang Dynasty, this vassal state was left behind. This small country was under the protection of China for a long time until the real history of the Sino-Japanese War, when it became a Japanese colony. Later, the country was split in two, and North Korea was making trouble for China all day long; South Korea has taken refuge in the United States as a lackey, disgusting China all day long.

For such a country, it is natural to give the best integration.

Now the Qing court has destroyed Korea, abolished the status of a vassal state in Korea, and turned Korea into a province. In the future, after Wang Xinyu's Northern Expedition and the capture of Korea, it was impossible to restore their status as a vassal state, but to retain the province.

Wang Yuyou asked: "Aren't you afraid that the North Koreans will rise up if the Tartars are so looted in North Korea?" ”

"Unveiled? As for those Goryeo sticks, they dare to say that the prime minister Hou Ning has a kind of? Hum! In fact, the Qing court was still too merciful to the Goryeo stick! They should be killed, and when the time comes, we will recover North Korea and save a lot of trouble! Wang Xinyu snorted coldly.

"Let the Tartars kill the Koreans?" Wang Yuyou stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "If you really want to let the Tartars kill a group of Koreans, it's not impossible!" As long as there are people in North Korea who make rebellion, the Tatars will definitely not show mercy when they kill them! ”

"It's just that these Goryeo sticks don't have the guts to rebel!" Wang Xinyu said indignantly.

Wang Yuyou smiled: "Actually, there is still a way!" As long as we add a fire, the North Koreans may rebel! As long as they dare to rebel, it will be a river of blood! ”

"Is there any way to force the anti-North Koreans?" Wang Xinyu asked.

"First, we sent people to operate in North Korea! Second, speed up the depreciation of the pseudo-Qing dragon banknotes! Wang Yuyou replied.
