737 Something Strange Happened
It was late at night, Zhang Wuregret was lying in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, he has not been able to sleep peacefully these days, only when he is really sleepy and can't open his eyes, he will fall asleep, and after waking up, he will continue to think about problems with full energy, think about his own problems, think about his own captivity and loss of power, all along, he thinks that he has received a lot of suffering, and he has made great contributions in Tubo, so he has been given important powers, but only a few days, he was placed under house arrest by local conservative forces.
This was a severe blow to him, the first task of governing the place was not successful, but forced Suning to go all the way south to Guangzhou, and then swept away the disaster, the second day after Suning arrived in Guangzhou, he was released, three days later, the audit department and the city department began to operate again, orderly, solemn and strict, and there was no trace of disrespect for the government.
There are many things that make him even more confused, he thinks that he is not much different from Suning in the means of dealing with problems, and even in many ways he deliberately imitates Suning's actions, trying to copy Suning's path and make himself the second Suning, because all kinds of signs show that he is Suning's most important subordinate, handing over important tasks to himself, and letting his family live such a good life, which is more worthy of doing things for Suning.
But the first time he was given a heavy responsibility, he was still a minister, who had just shown his iron-blooded means, and before he could give a sweet date, he was deprived of power, and he finally realized how powerful the local power was. How stubborn, how difficult it is for a foreign official to hold a good position in the locality, he began to admire Zhao Yuan, the assassin of Guangzhou, he is also a northerner, but he is now doing a good job in Guangzhou, it is said that he is expanding the city of Guangzhou, and has been praised by the imperial court.
Those guys who were at a loss at the beginning became the biggest winners, but they lost the trust of many people, and they may even lose the trust of the emperor and Marquis Su. This made Zhang Wuregret feel extremely panicked in his heart. He didn't even know if he would completely lose his qualification to go to the next level and continue to serve as Su Houye's most trusted official if he continued like this, this qualification was not easy to come by, it was really hard to come by.
But all the officials that Su Hou Ye fancies. Whether it is Wang Yuan or Zhou Zhiwang. All of them have gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Xu Zhi, who was promoted to the assassin of Yongzhou, was also smooth sailing, and the officials did extremely chic, and Yongzhou's taxes were still higher and higher year by year. The grain harvest is getting better and better year by year, and the new Sanyuan County Commander is also a native of Sanyuan County, and everyone thinks that Sanyuan County, the first wealthy county in the Tang Dynasty, cannot be controlled by outsiders at will, and only locals who know Sanyuan County can serve as county commanders and be in charge of Sanyuan County, so as to gain everyone's trust.
The new Sanyuan County Commander Yang Qu is said to be an official from Sujia Zhuangzi, and he has made a lot of contributions to Xu Zhi during his tenure as the county commander, and has won the trust of the local people, and he is still young, young and capable, it seems that Su Hou Ye is also very satisfied with him, and intends to promote and train him, this is the fourth Sanyuan County Commander after Su Hou Ye was sealed to Sanyuan County, and he saw that another young and capable official entered Su Hou Ye's eyes, and he made a big mistake at this critical moment.
The previous Liu Renliang, to be honest, Zhang Wuregret was not worried that Liu Renliang would become a threat to him, and was recommended by Su Houye to Haizhou, which was far overseas, to serve as the first Haizhou Assassin, serving as an official on a poor and white island, coming and going in the sea every day, if you don't do it, you will be swallowed up by the storm at sea, is it so fun? The first official anywhere is the worst official to do, and if one is not careful, it is extremely easy for the second and third officials to directly pick peaches.
Seeing that he was about to become Su Hou Ye's most trusted subordinate, but something went wrong at this time, and he was treated coldly by Su Hou Ye, Zhang Wuregret really felt the panic that came up from the bottom of his heart.
Then the next thing to do is very decisive, Zhang Wuregret suddenly felt that he seemed to have hesitated for too long, hesitated for too long, thought about it for too long, and thought about it for too long, I wonder if Su Hou Ye has found another official to replace him! Zhang Wuregret can't afford to lose what he has now, whether it's for himself, his parents or his younger brother.
You have to get up, you have to get up, go to Su Hou Ye to admit your mistakes, and go to Su Hou Ye to get your job back! It's been so long, it's been so long, it's time to get up, it's time to get up!
In the middle of the night, Zhang Wuregret put on his clothes and rushed out of the house, planning to leave the yamen of the Audit Department, go to find Su Hou Ye, and go to meet Su Hou Ye! Oh, it's too late, so wait until dawn in front of Su Houye's door! Be sure to wait until dawn! This is your last chance!
rushed to the gate and was about to open the door, but was startled by the voice behind him: "It's so late, where are you going?" â
Zhang Wuregret heard that this was Su Hou Ye's voice, and he didn't want to ask why Su Hou would also appear here at this time, he just wanted to regain his position and take back his work and authority: "Hou Ye, I have figured it out, I have figured it out, I want to return to work, and I hope that Hou Ye will allow me to re-work!" â
Suning looked at Zhang Wuregret, who was excited in front of him, and laughed: "Did you say that you have telepathy with Ben Hou?" It just so happened that Ben Hou wanted to find you to do something, but you kid figured it out? Wandering like a corpse for two months, finally figured it out? If you don't understand it anymore, Ben Hou will really have to promote other officials to take your place, and Ben Hou doesn't need a useless person to hold this important position! â
Zhang Wuregret immediately said: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, the humble position has been thought through, the humble position has been understood, the humble position already knows what he should do, and please believe in the humble position, and give the humble position one last chance, the humble position is grateful!" â
Suning waved his hand, walked back to the lobby with Zhang Wuregret, did not light a candle, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Wuregret: "Ben Hou has a more important thing for you to do now, wait until you have successfully completed this matter." You can be reinstated, or you'll be asleep here forever! After two months at once, it would be so easy to return your position to you? You'll have to pay a price to remember what you did wrong. â
Zhang Wuregret took the papers, looked at them in the faint light, and asked suspiciously, "Banknotes?" â
Although he has been wandering for two months, he still knows about the banknotes, and Su Houye made such a big move at the beginning, and it was in the yamen of the Audit Department, and it was difficult for him to know about it. But what is Su Hou Ye going to do when he takes out the banknotes at this time?
Suning then asked, "Take a closer look." What's unusual about these notes? â
Zhang Wuregret frowned, he had seen banknotes, and he himself had a five-denomination banknote, unfolding these banknotes in their entirety. Only then did he realize that the banknotes were stained with oil. Some places have melted away. Zhang Wuregret asked tentatively: "Could it be that someone estimated that the banknotes were damaged?" Disrespectful to the avatars of His Majesty and the Emperor? â
Suning shook his head, took out another banknote from his arms, and handed it to Zhang Wuregret. Zhang Wuregret turned this banknote, and found that this banknote was actually stained, but there was no place to melt, although there were stains, but it could still be seen how many denominations of banknotes this was, unlike these banknotes, some of which were very localized, which made Zhang Wuregret puzzled: "Master Hou, what do you mean?" â
Su Ning said solemnly: "The banknotes supervised by Ben Hou are the banknotes printed by the printing technology researched by Ben Hou, and the inks used on them are two-color inks that have undergone special treatment. â
Zhang Wuregret was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was shocked: "What does Su Hou mean, is it that someone has forged banknotes?" â
Suning nodded: "That's right, Ben Hou is also drinking and eating with General Xue today, and accidentally found that the banknotes taken out by General Xue will be damaged by oil stains, Ben Hou remembers very clearly that after the printed banknotes are processed, no matter who or the oil stains will not damage the surface calligraphy and painting, so they can be issued with confidence, but unexpectedly, someone has forged the banknotes in just over two months!"
This is not what Ben Hou is most worried about, Ben Hou is most worried about the two-color printing of this banknote is also Ben Hou using movable type printing to create zĂ o, before the imperial court and the people used the engraving printing can never do it, absolutely can not make this kind of action on this small paper, and movable type printing is the highest level of secrets of the imperial court, and there is nothing to be missed, except for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the left and right servants have mastered this technology, it is His Majesty's own subordinates who keep the movable type printing and are in charge of printing books.
But this kind of fake banknotes in addition to the engraved calligraphy and painting will be damaged when it encounters oil stains, even the water can be kept unchanged, and ordinary people are not very likely to contact oil and water, this kind of banknotes are found to be counterfeit even less, Ben Hou is still a mistake to find someone to forge the banknote, not to mention the rest of the people holding the banknote, it is likely that the counterfeiting of the banknote will never be found, which makes Ben Hou more worried!
We have always received how much money money is issued and how much banknotes are issued, to ensure that the amount of money and banknotes is equal, and will not cause chaos, but this kind of counterfeit banknotes will cause great confusion, and will cause chaos that the number of banknotes is greater than the actual amount of money, once the matter is exposed, it will cause panic among the people, and the banknotes will quickly lose the confidence of the people, and soon the banknotes will be treated as waste paper, which will be useless, and it will be more difficult for the imperial court to continue to make paper money in the future.
Movable type printing is the highest level of printing technology that we can master now, and it is actually mastered by others, there is only one possibility, and those ill-intentioned people I told you before have not been completely wiped out by me, but there are still remnants and accomplices, and there are eyeliners in the palace or in the Ministry of Industry, so that they can get the printing press of movable type printing, which has to make Ben Hou worried. â
The more Zhang Wuregret listened, the more worried he became, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and finally said in shock: "Could it be that a thief has entered Chang'an City again?" Also entered the palace? It's unlikely! Not to mention that blood droplets and blood flowers are scattered all over the place, His Majesty himself should also have eyeliner! â
Suning shook his head and said: "After all, the number of blood droplets is limited, and if they are in the south of the Yangtze River, the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is more difficult to investigate, and it is more convenient for them to commit crimes, the most important thing now is not this matter, but about the counterfeiting of paper money, this matter is too involved, I can only come to you at night to discuss, don't care about your official business in the audit department, take the blood droplets and blood flowers to secretly investigate this matter thoroughly, look for an opportunity to collect a large number of paper money on the market, hand over the counterfeit money to me, and buy real money to buy things into the world, don't act rashly."
I will send a letter to His Majesty to ask His Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly, I always feel that this matter is a little strange, if it is not good, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe, anyway, those people's hands must have reached Lingnan, and if it is not good, there are also a large number of counterfeit coins in Chang'an City, you must not make a noise, and you will not allow anyone who intends to make a statement appear, once you find it, quickly stop it, and then interrogate, and finally get rid of it, do you understand? Suning stared at Zhang Wuregret tightly and said. (To be continued......)
