739 Extraordinary Circumstances (II)

Although the incident happened suddenly, but you can't mess up, what to do or how to do it, just to do more precautions, Suning cast a net everywhere, sent out all the people who could be sent out around him, and secretly informed Feng An, Feng Ang was also shocked when he learned about it, and discussed countermeasures with Suning overnight, and finally decided to do the same thing with Suning - stand still and investigate carefully.

Now we have to find a breakthrough, we must find a breakthrough before we can act, Suning feels that the biggest breakthrough must be inside the money warehouse, take the fake paper money outside to buy items and then spend it, it is definitely not as easy as getting the money warehouse to exchange the money directly, but during this period there are not many people who exchange the copper money, but the number of people who deposit the copper money in the money warehouse to use paper money has increased greatly, so the people who come to exchange the copper money are more conspicuous, especially the people who come to exchange the copper money with a large amount of paper money.

However, since that group of underground elements can come up with such a vicious strategy of drawing money from the bottom of the kettle, it is inevitable that they will not do something to do the corresponding thing, and it is very likely that the two sides will divide their troops and advance, one way to exchange small paper money in the money warehouse, and the other way is also very likely to join the maritime trade, with counterfeit paper money to buy spices, and now the probability of using paper money in the seaside trade has risen to more than 80 percent, basically the people who use copper money can no longer see, even the silk cloth is rarely used.

Chances are, the first area of those guys was the port area, taking advantage of the chaos and the good reputation of paper money, where they paid for large bills in exchange for a lot of expensive spices, and used this as a profile to get money. Disrupting the market, resulting in a large circulation of counterfeit banknotes, they withdrew, but the counterfeit banknotes remained in the local use, and before they knew it, the number of counterfeit banknotes had seriously interfered with the operation of the entire market.

I believe that if you let it go, this matter will break out soon, whether someone is deliberately making trouble or trying to find it by accident like herself, Suning feels that his luck is too good, and he actually found this situation by accident. And there is no news of counterfeit banknotes in the society.

Suning began to place a large number of people in the harbor area and the place inside the money warehouse to exchange huàn money. A large number of soldiers were sent to squat in civilian clothes, and if they found anything not good, they should immediately report it to themselves, or they could be arrested directly. Anyway, the local tax department has already said hello. The audit department, which is specifically responsible for collecting maritime taxes, was greeted by Zhang Wuregret. Once the tax is collected, check whether it is a counterfeit banknote and ask where it came from.

A series of countermeasures have been arranged. Suning began to wait anxiously, and at the same time informed Xue Rengui and Zhao Yuan, the assassin of Guangzhou, and asked the two to prepare, of course, only the two of them can know about this matter, and the rest of them can't be told even if they are their own mothers, otherwise the consequences will be very strict.

Finally, two days later, Zhang Wuregret came to Suning's mansion with a thick stack of banknotes, handed the pile of banknotes to Suning, and said with a stern face: "Su Hou, a whole ten thousand yuan, all of them are counterfeit banknotes, and now the situation has become more and more serious, the group of thieves is getting more and more bold, and the fifty yuan paid by a maritime merchant is actually all fake paper money, but obviously the maritime merchant is not a thief, and all his money is traded from a land merchant."

But after checking, the Lu merchant was put in a cell by me on charges of tax evasion, and after examining all his money and goods, I found that it was not all counterfeit paper money, but a considerable part of it was genuine money, if it was a counterfeit paper money thief who specifically wanted to cheat, then he would not have carried so many real coins and copper coins and silk cloth and the like, and his identity was also verified, and the first batch of Chang'an businessmen who came to Guangzhou to do business had the certificate of the Chang'an County Government and the Chang'an Audit Department, and were not thieves.

In this way, his subordinates asked him where these banknotes came from, whether he took these banknotes with him when he went south, and when he came to Guangzhou, in addition to doing business on the seaside, whether there were some other transactions, after asking, his subordinates learned that he had exchanged these banknotes in Chang'an City, and bought a lot of food and wine in Guangzhou along the way, using paper money, and it was inconvenient to issue paper money to other places, but once he entered Guangzhou, paper money could be used everywhere.

So he can't remember how many people he has traded with, and he doesn't know how many times the banknotes in his hand have changed hands, anyway, according to his subordinates, he can't get too much news and clues from him alone, but it is clear that so far, there are also a lot of counterfeit banknotes in Chang'an and other places that have begun to circulate, and we still find it a little late, and we don't know where the fake banknotes come from. ”

Suning pondered for a while and asked, "How did you deal with that merchant?" ”

Zhang Wuregret said: "When crossing the Meiling Ancient Road, I accidentally fell off a cliff and fell to the ground and died, and the Meiling garrison has notified the government, and the government will deal with the matter." ”

Suning frowned slightly and said, "Why do you have to do this?" Even if he doesn't die, he can. ”

Zhang Wuregret leaned down and said: "If the Hou Ye wants to punish the crime, the subordinates have no complaints, the subordinates just think that these businessmen are categorically untrustworthy, once the actual situation is revealed, this person will inevitably think about his own property, and I don't know what he will do, if he doesn't give him an explanation, and I'm afraid that he will be confused, after returning to Chang'an, he will talk nonsense, disrupting the great cause of thieves, even so, the only way to let him fall off the cliff and die is the best solution." ”

Suning sighed, looked at Zhang Wuregret deeply and said, "No regrets, you have changed." ”

Zhang Wuregret didn't straighten up, and still said indifferently: "Master Hou is too famous." ”

Suning stood up and said coldly: "I'm not praising you, I'm warning you, there are some things we have to pay a price, and it's okay to shed some blood, but in order to say that you should also understand that killing is too much, it hurts the heavens and the peace, the ancients all regarded killing as an ominous thing, and they had to do it as a last resort, and there are obviously more favorable ways to do this, such as forcibly incorporating him into the blood drops and the like, although he knows these things, but the blood drops caravan did not enter the trade between Guangzhou and Chang'an, We need drops of blood, you know? ”

Zhang Wuregret was stunned for a moment. Then he said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Suning waved his hand and said: "Then you can go, it's good to understand, in the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, don't start killing in vain, there are some things that you will know no matter how secret you do, and these things are not a glorious thing, it is absolutely not good for you to be known, and you will inevitably have to contact many businessmen in your future actions, do you have to kill them?" If you can include blood droplets, try to include blood droplets. can't be included. It's okay to confiscate some of his property on any charge. ”

Zhang Wuregret didn't know what to think, and finally nodded silently: "My subordinates understand." Then he slowly retreated, leaving Suning to keep looking at the back of Zhang Wuregret leaving, and always felt that Zhang Wuregret had changed a little after those two months. This change is undoubtedly very much in line with the identity of a blood drop. But for an official who Suning considers promising. It seems a little too cold-blooded.

Thinking of this, Suning also laughed at himself a little, he was obviously a butcher who would not let even women and children go on the battlefield. In the original battle of Lingzhou, there were tens of thousands of aliens who died directly or indirectly at their own hands? Now he is actually dissuading his subordinates not to kill, hehe, time can really change a lot of things......

It's just that it's a battlefield, it's a foreign race, it's not your own people, and it's soft-hearted on the battlefield but it's the way to die, but now......

Maybe for Zhang Wuregret, everything is unnecessarily soft-hearted, the person who has left his name in history has never been a real saint, and the person who becomes the highest power must be a hero, forget it, anyway, he has never been a saint, and he has never thought about being a hero, so what qualifications do he have to ask Zhang Wuregret to do this and that.

I wish he could grasp this degree.

In the next few days, in addition to communicating with Du Ruhui once, I learned some of the information that Du Ruhui learned, but it was still not of much use, and it seems that there is no other way to solve the problem except for recycling all the old banknotes and issuing the latest banknotes.

And even if paper money is abolished, it is the merchants and ordinary people who lose their wealth, and it is definitely not the group of thieves, if you want to make that group of thieves deflated, you have to do something else, so that they feel that there is an opportunity, in fact, this is a trap, and they must be undetectable, and by the way, the clues will be revealed, so that the blood droplets all over the south of the Yangtze River can find them, and then clean them up fiercely, and completely eradicate this group of bastards.

As time goes by, this matter will become more and more difficult to do, and the scheduled trip to Jiangdong and other places to discuss the purchase of land with the local Dashi landlords, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and later will change, who knows what will happen? But I can't get rid of the counterfeiting of paper money at all, and I really don't have the skills! Suning now thinks that it would be good if Cui Xiaoyi was still by his side, let him deal with the matter here, and go to Jiangdong to discuss with those people by himself.

yes, why not?

What's the use of Choi Hyo-yi always keeping it at home? Chang'an City has the most elite group of people in the Tang Dynasty in this era, and it is not of much use for Cui Xiaoyi to stay there, but Lingnan does not have any foundation here, and he can't talk about any henchmen, Zhang Wuregret can't take on such a heavy responsibility, not to mention that he is still doing other things, Suning decided to repair a letter and go to his own home in Sanyuan County to let Cui Xiaoyi go south to Guangzhou to help him.

The letter was sent out, what Suning has to do now is to stand still and wait and see what happens, these days in the money warehouse squatting people secretly arrested three people who came to exchange huàn copper coins with a large number of counterfeit banknotes, but after the review, they ruled out their suspicion one by one, they carried fake banknotes, there are also real coins, and the source of the banknotes is also correct, so they are not the culprit, but this makes Suning very depressed, this matter has developed to this day, it has been a long time.

Where the hell are those bastards?

Seeing that the pile of counterfeit banknotes in front of him is getting higher and higher, Suning can't help but want to recycle the old banknotes in advance and even abolish the banknotes directly, but doing so is tantamount to drinking water to quench his thirst, as long as there is still a slight possibility of destroying this group of underground terrorists, he must be patient, he must be patient, and pay a little price to wipe out this group of bastards, it is definitely worth it.

And before Suning was about to break out when he couldn't bear it, God finally gave Suning a little comfort, making Suning feel that all the patience he had made before was not in vain, it was all worth it, Zhang Wuregret finally came to report, things had a breakthrough, they finally caught a guy who was covered in fake paper money, this guy took these fake paper money and wanted to exchange money, but it turned out that all of them were fake paper money, and when the staff pretended to ask him why he wanted to exchange so many copper coins, this person didn't know what to do. Immediately, the blood droplets squatting raised their vigilance.

Then it was a very simple secret arrest, and then a severe interrogation, this person tried his best to resist at first, saying that he was wronged, but as a result, the source of the coins he said and the place of trading were not right, Zhang Wuregret directly cut off one of his fingers with a black face, this guy finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed.
