738 Extraordinary Circumstances (I)
Although Suning knew that after the birth of Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty, there had been cases of people printing and counterfeiting Jiaozi, but printing technology has been popularized during the Song Dynasty, and printing money is also used, as long as you have an understanding of Jiaozi, you can do it, and then disrupt the market, exchange fake paper money for real money, and make profits from it, but now, movable type printing is the highest level of secret, and even with improved papermaking is the top secret of Datang, but it has been mastered and revealed!
Suning felt that the matter was not trivial, and when he asked Li Erma for instructions on printing banknotes, he had repeatedly emphasized that movable type printing was not trivial, and many foreign foreigners were looking at the papermaking and movable type printing technology that the Tang Dynasty had mastered now, and they dreamed of it, because the secrecy decree and the restriction order on foreigners were issued smoothly, which protected these two technologies very well, but now movable type printing has been stolen in the heavy protection.
Although I don't know whether it was the theft of movable type printing or the theft of movable type printing presses, or what the situation was, Suning knew that the number of movable type printing machines would be counted before the start of work every day, and the printing technicians who came to work every day would also be named when they came and when they left, and their residences were heavily guarded and closely monitored, and there were almost no loopholes.
Since the situation happened at that time, and it will happen sooner or later, it can only be said that these people have obtained movable type printing, and even papermaking may be revealed, but they are not worried about this situation being discovered, otherwise they will not quietly circulate paper money, and sooner or later they will be discovered.
Each banknote has a number on it. Every banknote issued will be recorded, when it was printed, when it was distributed to the merchant, and when it was damaged, sent back for destruction and then reprinted, no more, no less.
One more is not a problem, but a lot more is a problem, since those guys have mastered movable type printing and the ability to print paper money. In addition to these areas of the city of Guangzhou. It is difficult to guarantee that there is no longer a circulation of counterfeit banknotes in other regions, and it is difficult to distinguish which one is real and which one is fake without touching the oil stain, and now even Xue Rengui's banknotes have a copycat deposit, and it seems that counterfeit banknotes have been secretly circulating for a while. Or ......
Suning suddenly remembered. Xue Rengui is a senior general in the army. Unless there are special circumstances, he rarely leaves the barracks of his carnivorous army, and basically he doesn't know how to make any transactions with people in the market, and Suning doesn't know where the paper money in Xue Rengui's hand comes from. But now that he knows one of the sources of these counterfeit banknotes, he must investigate to the end, there is no impermeable wall in this world, as long as he does it, he will definitely leave clues, and this clue is Suning's greatest need.
As for the tracking operation that has not stopped, since that night, Suning has always suspected that the real nest of the gang of thieves is Jiangnan, not Chang'an, the underground resistance group composed of Li Jiancheng's Yu party has not been wiped out, but has suffered heavy losses, but the main leaders are still alive, after Suning established the blood droplet, there has always been a Jiangnan branch responsible for tracking down this aspect of the matter, this is not only for Li Erma, but also with the gang of thieves.
The Zhenguan era has set sail, and Suning will never allow any force that tries to stop this big ship from setting sail!
The last operation did not kill all the heads and brains of this underground resistance group, the culprit has not been discovered, and those who have been caught and eliminated are just a group of small minions, the real bigwigs have always been behind the scenes, and there are obviously accomplices of this group of people in the court, which are hidden very deeply, so that they have not found that there are still people in the court, which is troublesome.
But in any case, Suning first had to report this matter to Li Erma, and then asked Li Ermaxi and Du Ruhui to secretly investigate the matter, especially to instruct Du Ruhui to secretly destroy the counterfeit banknotes, and find the source of the counterfeit banknotes, and find the source of the counterfeit banknotes, it is easier to find the two sides together than Suning on the one hand, and Suning has a lot of things to do here, this time it was found that Xue Rengui was holding a fake banknote was just an accidental incident, and the outside world did not find rumors about the counterfeit banknotes, so Suning should be a discoverer.
Indeed, few people can touch the oil now, and even if they do, most of them are on the table, who will take out the paper money during the meal? There is only one answer, that is, when eating in the restaurant, other restaurants can't move, but Wei Xianju can move, Suning immediately found two blood flowers, and asked them to take their tokens to Wei Xianju to find the shopkeeper, and then thoroughly check the authenticity of all the banknotes in Wei Xianju after Wei Xianju closes at night.
Early the next morning, the two blood flowers came to Suning's house with a solemn expression, took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed them to Suning, all of them were fake banknotes that were stained with oil and then turned into calligraphy and paintings, one of them said very strictly: "Su Hou, my subordinates feel that this matter is very strict, this is a quarter of all the banknotes that Weixianju is holding now, and we have reason to think that a quarter of the banknotes in circulation on the market are counterfeit banknotes." ”
Another blood flower said: "Once this matter is known to the public, the situation will be extremely serious, since these counterfeit banknotes have been in circulation for such a long time before they were discovered, and there is no notice from the money warehouse, it can only be said that there may be a large number of counterfeit paper money stored in the money warehouse, and then recirculated into the market, these people have already put so many fake paper money into the market, and it is estimated that a quarter of the money in the money warehouse has been exchanged by these people for fake paper money." ”
Suning nodded and said: "This time the incident happened suddenly, if it wasn't for the accident, Ben Hou would not have found out, until the money warehouse found that the accounts were not matched at all, you analyzed it very well, now, you immediately go to the money warehouse secretly to thoroughly check all the stored money and all the stock banknotes, if the situation is already very strict, then we must make some necessary countermeasures, only then can we buy time." ”
The two Bloodflower looked at each other. One of them wondered, "What is the solution?" ”
Suning said: "Count all the denominations of banknotes, print new banknotes in the name of easy damage to banknotes, recycle all old banknotes, issue new banknotes, and then strictly monitor the whereabouts of these banknotes.
It's just that it has to be done in secret, if it is known to the general public. The situation will be extremely troublesome. We can only suffer a dumb loss first, and then I will mobilize a batch of blood droplets into the money warehouse to act as a statistician for paper money and copper coins, and if I find anyone who has exchanged a large number of counterfeit paper money for copper coins, I will arrest him immediately. At the same time, the printing and issuance of new banknotes will be accelerated.
Other than that. I expect. Once we release the rumors of exchanging old money for new money, those who make counterfeit paper money will definitely not give up this opportunity to exchange for a large amount of money, and it will definitely appear. This is also a great time for us to capture those bastards, anyway, you all pay attention to me, during this time, the blood flowers and blood drops will enter a period of full security, all vacations will be canceled, and all blood drops and blood flowers will be put on standby, ready to kill the thieves at any time! ”
The two blood flowers paused: "The subordinates understand!" ”
Suning nodded, and immediately began to prepare, the entire secret organization of blood flowers and blood droplets quickly began to operate, five days later, the news also reached the hands of Li Erma, Li Ermaxi was shocked and hurriedly called Du Ruhui overnight to discuss countermeasures, Du Ruhui was also extremely shocked after learning about it, and immediately understood the severity of the current situation after carefully examining Suning's report, and decided to do so according to Suning's approach, and also quickly launched an investigation into the matter.
"Keming, this matter is not trivial, you must be cautious, I will give you the right to transfer Qianniuwei, once there is a breakthrough in the matter, you can immediately mobilize Qianniuwei to arrest, don't have any worries, do you understand?" Li Erma's Yan asked Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui nodded immediately: "Lao Chen understands, Lao Chen will definitely do this, but Your Majesty, printing and papermaking are the top secrets of our dynasty, but now it is very likely to have been leaked, Lao Chen suspects that there are people in the court who deliberately help that group of thieves, and the status is not low, the power is not small, otherwise it is categorically impossible to approach and printing and papermaking, Lao Chen thinks that it is necessary to conduct an inventory of the Ministry of Industry, and also need to conduct a secret inventory of those workshops, but do not startle the snake, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to us!" ”
Li Er Majesty frowned and said: "I also understand this matter, there are such people in the court, I thought that after the eradication of the Shandong Shi clan, the court will be cleared, but as a result, it seems that there must not be the slightest relaxation now, Keming, I will completely entrust this matter to you, you must do your best to find out this matter, and then work with Suning to wipe out this group of bold people!" ”
Once it came to that underground resistance organization, Li Erma Xià became extremely nervous, he still remembered the night a few years ago very clearly, after that night, he thought he could breathe a little relief, but just now, within a few years, that group of people is very likely to reappear, which is definitely an extremely dangerous threat to the Zhenguan Reform Movement that is currently in full swing, and it is also an extremely huge threat to Li Erma himself.
These people can't be completely eradicated in a day, and Li Ermajesty can't sit back and relax for a day.
When Li Erma Xià and Du Ruhui interacted, Suning also began to conduct a secret investigation here, after a thorough investigation of the situation in the money warehouse, Suning found that the deposit and the amount of banknotes in the entire money warehouse were already very wrong, and after Xue Rengui woke up, Suning asked him where the banknotes came from, he said that this was the money to buy meat in the barracks, and it was the banknotes that he sent to the money warehouse to exchange huàn, which had been placed on him, and he accidentally got drunk and took it out. He also felt embarrassed and apologized again and again.
But Suning felt that he had lost a clue that might be very important, the source of Xue Rengui's banknotes was the money warehouse, which meant that there were counterfeit banknotes entering the money warehouse seven days before Xue Rengui exchanged for banknotes, and these days there are constantly people taking copper coins to exchange huàn banknotes, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to using very light banknotes for bulk transactions and the purchase of daily necessities, and paper money is becoming more and more popular.
It seems that it is difficult to get through the crisis if you don't come this time, no matter what, you can't let the people lose confidence in paper money, and you can't let the whole economic status quo fall into chaos, so as not to let those thieves and fishermen benefit, and Suning also noticed that these thieves are not from the underground resistance group, but they must have a think tank, and this think tank still has a certain understanding of the economy, and soon discovered the biggest weakness in their financial reform plan.
Damn, why are those guys so sharp? This must be a group, in addition to the underground resistance group, Suning really doesn't want to be another group, such as those big landlords and big families in Jiangnan, Suning really doesn't want to kill each other again, and it is also a person who does not need to be completely eradicated, if the Jiangnan Shi clan and the big landlords do this, there is no doubt that there is a big obstacle to the current land purchase plan.
No, even if the Jiangnan Shi clan and the local Haoqiang know the weakness of the banknote, they will definitely not do it, they are doing it for themselves, only those who oppose the emperor and oppose the court and have no fear of the emperor will do so, because the portrait on the banknote is the portrait of the emperor and the emperor!
