Chapter 1039: Silver Ticket Suspicion
Guo Song was a little interested, and said for a while: "In this way, Jiaozi has nothing to offer?" ”
Guo Ping smiled and comforted her brother: "Actually, you don't have to be too frustrated, you have to take your time in everything, maybe we are too worried, everyone will eventually accept Jiaozi step by step, and there is always a process from resistance to adaptation of new things!" ”
Li Wenyu next to him also smiled: "Although I am not very optimistic about Jiaozi, but I think the silver tickets and money tickets issued by the imperial court are very good, this time my fat man went to Mingzhou to collect the ship, he wanted to buy some pearls, tortoiseshell, coral, and I asked him to take some tea in Jiangnan, he brought 30,000 yuan of money tickets to go, if you bring 30,000 yuan of money is incredible, with 30,000 taels of silver will also be worried, 30 thousand yuan money tickets directly in his arms, too convenient." ”
Coming out of the wine shop, Guo Song's heart was heavy, the words of the eldest sister and Senior Sister Li made him a little less confident, although the eldest sister comforted him afterwards, but it was just comfort.
However, although he was a little disappointed, it was impossible for Guo Song to give up, his bottom line was three months, and it was still too early to say whether he would fail.
Guo Song didn't want to go any further, and returned directly to the official room, he came back relatively early, and it seemed that several other Xiangguo had not returned.
He walked into the official room and sat down, and Lu Lun, who joined the army in the record room, put a document in front of him, "This is a report just sent from Lingnan, a report jointly written by Pan Yuanjun and General Kang. ”
Guo Song took the report, put it aside again, and asked, "Lu joins the army, what do you think of Jiaozi?" ”
Lu Lun scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "I went home at noon and handed over the money to my wife, she complained a few words, and then I told her that more than 300 shops in Chang'an can be used, and I really can't use it." You can also go to the cabinet to exchange it for copper coins, so she doesn't complain. ”
"Then what do you personally think of Jiaozi's prospects?"
"I think Chang'an should be able to accept it in the end, but it is difficult to say about the local states and counties, maybe it will work or not, after all, this is a new thing, and it takes a process for everyone to accept it."
Guo Song nodded, "You're right, it does take time!" ”
At this time, a lonely voice came from outside, "Is Your Highness here?" I'm in a hurry! ”
"Dugu Xiangguo, please come in!" Guo Song greeted.
Du Gu Qiu walked in, he was holding a flat wooden box in his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, what we are worried about is here!" ”
"What's the matter?"
Dugu Qiu put the wooden box on the table and opened it, and inside was a new five hundred taels of silver tickets.
"Your Highness, please look at this silver ticket!"
Guo Song picked up the silver ticket, stunned for a moment, the feeling was not right, he looked closely, it turned out to be a fake silver ticket, the color of the paper is exactly the same, the quality is also very good, a bit like Changqing paper, but it is obviously not as good as Changqing paper, but the gold thread embroidered on it is exactly the same, the printing ink also contains a faint gold powder, and the number number and household printing look like no problem.
Guo Song looked at the back again, there were a total of five squares in the back, each grid had two sides, which were used to stamp when transferring.
The first square is the issuance of the seal, the left is the small seal of the household, the right is the small seal of Chang'an Baoyuan Cabinet Fang, the left side of the second square is the small seal of Baoyuan Cabinet Fang, the right is a private seal called Chen Jintan, the third square is the exchange seal, the left is Chen Jintan, and the right is Chengdu Baoyuan Cabinet Fang.
In other words, this person named Chen Jintan did not buy and transfer the goods, and directly took the silver ticket to Chengdu Baoyuan Cabinet to exchange it.
This is a fake silver ticket, the household seal is fake, the seal of Chang'an Baoyuan Cabinet is fake, this Chen Jintan is estimated to be also a fake name, and only the exchange seal of Chengdu Baoyuan Cabinet is real.
Guo Song immediately said to the guards at the door: "Go and find the commander of the Inner Guard King immediately!" ”
The guards turned around and rushed away, and Guo Song asked Duqiu again: "How did you find out about this fake ticket?" ”
Dugu Qiu sighed and said: "According to the plan agreed in advance, if you find a suspicious ticket, you have to exchange it normally, but after the exchange, you must monitor the exchanger and notify the government to detain people, and Chengdu Baoyuan Cabinet Fang has also done the same."
It's just that the exchanger has martial arts, and he knocked out the two guys who were watching him before the official head catcher arrived, and then fled with the silver. ”
In order to ensure the provisions of payment at sight, the Ministry of Household Affairs has also made clear regulations that as long as there is no obvious fraud and a slight suspicious silver ticket, all local cabinets must pay normally, and then monitor the casher and notify the government at the same time.
This provision is also to prevent the cabinets from finding various reasons to refuse to pay, if there is a loss of counterfeit tickets, the first is borne by the household department, and then the rest of the matter will be handed over to the internal health inspection office to deal with.
"Isn't there anything else wrong with this silver ticket? Like numbers, etc.? Guo Song asked again.
Du Guqiu shook his head, "When Chengdu Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop cashed, it did find the same number, and it was also a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver, so they paid normally, but Chang'an Baoyuan Cabinet also found this silver ticket, which was given to a businessman named Chen Yongdao." ”
This is also the advantage of the real-name system of silver tickets, with real names, you can check fake tickets through real names, and counterfeiters must have seen this real silver ticket.
At this time, Wang Yue hurriedly came, knelt down on one knee and bowed, "See Your Highness!" ”
Guo Song waved his hand and said with a smile: "The king is exempt from courtesy, and there is business coming to the door!" ”
Wang Yue got up and saw the silver ticket, and was immediately surprised: "Is there really a fake?" ”
"See for yourself!"
Wang Yue picked up the silver ticket and immediately said, "The paper is not right!" ”
"Look again!"
Wang Yue looked at it carefully, frowned, and said: "It took a lot of effort to make this fake ticket, it can't just be for five hundred taels of silver!" ”
Du Isolated Qiu secretly admired, worthy of being the leader of the internal guard, and suddenly saw the crux of the problem.
"Commander Wang is right, we suspect that there will be fake silver tickets, but they have not appeared yet, and I believe there will be."
Guo Song stood in front of the window and was silent, and Duqiu and Wang Yue were also silent, no longer disturbing King Jin's contemplation.
After a long time, Guo Song turned around and said slowly: "This matter should not be for money, it is someone who wants to destroy the credibility of our issuance of silver tickets and money tickets. ”
"Wechen understands!"
Guo Song said to Wang Yue again: "This case will not be simple, the internal guards must invest enough manpower and material resources, especially to send strong martial arts guards, try to investigate the case as low as possible, don't alarm the mastermind behind it for the time being, and notify me at any time if there is any news." ”
Wang Yue knew the importance of the case, and he nodded silently, "The lowly will go all out!" ”
..........
In the afternoon, the Xiangguo who went out to learn about the issuance of Jiaozi came back, and the news they brought back was good and bad, the good news was that many shops received Jiaozi normally, and there was no rejection, and the bad news was that many officials' families secretly went to the cabinet to exchange Jiaozi for copper coins.
These news are all expected by Guo Song, and it is useless to say anything now, so we can only wait for time to slowly digest everyone's resistance to Jiaozi, so that the people of Chang'an can gradually adapt to it.
Although the Money Ticket Inspection Office has been established, the personnel have not yet been fully allocated, and Wang Yue did not care about setting up the Inspection Office for the time being, so he personally took command and mobilized hundreds of capable internal guards to form a temporary inspection battalion.
There were seven or eight important subordinates sitting in the room, Wang Yue introduced the case, and said to everyone: "Now we have two clues, one clue is to check Chen Yongdao, a businessman, who has seen his silver ticket, and the second clue is that the other party will definitely exchange it, we must seize these two breakthrough points to investigate." ”
Deputy Commander Li Mengze raised his hand and said, "Commander, there is actually another possibility that has been ignored. ”
"You say, what's the possibility?"
Li Mengze said with a smile: "If the other party is making a batch of silver tickets, then he is likely to get the information from inside the cabinet, ticket number, denomination, etc., I think we can investigate from this point." ”
Wang Yue thought about it, a little embarrassed: "Although there is indeed this possibility, but the scope is too big, I asked Dugu Xiangguo, he said that the household department will provide a batch of inventory to the major cabinets, and then the major cabinets will be copied to the branches in various places, so it is difficult to find out which branch is flowing out, and maybe it is possible that the printing point is flowing out." ”
Li Mengze said: "Isn't the other party a fake Baoyuan cabinet?" I think Chang'an Baoyuan Cabinet is the most likely. ”
"This is not necessarily, the other party should be very cunning, and generally will not make such low-level mistakes, nine times out of ten it is not Baoyuan Cabinet Workshop, nor is it Chang'an's Cabinet Workshop."
Everyone fell silent for a while, and at this time, another deputy, Tang Sheng, said: "Commander, I think I can check from the counterfeit silver ticket itself, this silver ticket is done vividly, it should be done by a fake master, we may not understand, but people in the industry must know." ”
Wang Yue nodded, "Everyone is reasonable, we will divide our troops into three ways to investigate, I am responsible for finding this Chen Yongdao, and keep an eye on other fake silver tickets that appear at any time, Director Li will check the leakage of the ticket number, and Director Tang will be responsible for checking the counterfeiters, but everyone must remember that you must keep a low profile and do not startle the snake." ”
Everyone bowed and saluted, "Obey!" ”
