"That's it, you go down and rest first, I'll discuss it with the two adults, and then I'll reply to you, and then you can go back to Xuanfu."

The most important thing now is to keep it secret, and you can't spread the word about the fake silver ticket, so I asked the person who sent the letter to avoid it, and Liu Taoran and Xing Zhiwei also understood this truth.

After the man left, Liu Taoran asked, "My lord, how do you see how this matter is handled." ”

"Lord Liu, Lord Xing, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, only the three of us know, and inform Wang Jinhuai in addition, hurry up and escort that person back to the capital, we must quickly investigate, we can't let them flood the fake silver tickets, we will do it again, we must do it before them."

"Lord Lan is right, we want to do it as soon as possible, we can't do this on our own, we also need the assistance of the ya'door', we don't have the right to handle the case here, Lord Lan had better be able to tell the emperor, but you can't use the fold, the fold is looking for things, when it comes to the emperor, I don't know how many people have seen it and it is easy to leak the news 'exposed', so it will be hard for Lord Lan." What Liu Taoran said is reasonable, but you can't use the method of excerpts.

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about here, but I think about it, these silver tickets haven't been put into use yet, and neither is this person." Spend 'money to buy, he should be sent to test our ability to distinguish fake silver tickets, so we must bring him back safely, as long as you bring it back, you can know who made these silver tickets, where they are, fortunately our silver tickets have anti-counterfeiting marks that they don't know, so before they can react, hurry up to solve the case, I will go to the palace now, Lord Liu drafted a reply to the Xuan Mansion, Lord Xing went to the front to carry it, but also to tell them, to be vigilant to prevent being 'mixed' into the fake silver tickets. ”

This is the first most serious crisis that we have encountered in the Silver Horn, and if we let the fake Silver Ticket become popular, our Silver Horn will only be related to the 'Gate' of good fortune, so the three of us are very anxious and act separately to deal with this matter.

I went to the palace and sat in the sedan chair, and I was wondering who did it, and this fake silver ticket was not a simple matter. First of all, there is plate making, and after having the plate, we also need paper, which is our special use, and there is no paper on the market. There are also pigments, these pigments are not bought casually, this counterfeiter of silver tickets, his ability is extraordinary, he must have a certain influence in the capital, and he can get the materials for making fake silver tickets.

If you have materials, you also need to have good printing masters and craftsmen to make silver tickets. The best craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many, but a few of our skills here are not bad. It seems that the only way to find out who made the fake silver tickets is to start with the printing aspect.

When I arrived at the Donghua 'gate', it was still the same set of notification procedures, and I followed the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace, and now the emperor, since that poisoning, never eats anything **, nor does he pamper the 'female' people, most of the time, he is reading excerpts, criticizing the book, or reading books and practicing calligraphy. This time I came to the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor was reading a book.

Mu Zongci sat down and asked, "Lan Yunjie, I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with coming to me today, don't hide it, say it and see if I can solve it for you." ”

"Your Majesty, you still know me, and Weichen implores the emperor to step down."

Mu Zong was stunned for a moment, this screen retreated, that is to say, I have something very important to say, ordinary people dare not say so, and retreated, what if I am not good to the emperor, so unless I am a cronie, the emperor will not agree to such a request. But I said another thing, I have saved the emperor twice, if you want to kill him, you just don't save him, so Mu Zong hesitated a little but agreed to me, and drove out the palace 'maids' and eunuchs who were serving in the palace, if Chen Jiu was here, Chen Jiu would not be kicked out, but today he is not here.

"l Lan Yunjie is just you and me now, what happened, you can tell me."

"Your Majesty, today the Xuanfu sent a letter, and a fake silver ticket was found over there, but the person who used the fake silver ticket was also detained by us, and Weichen entered the palace to ask the emperor, to check quickly, or wait for the fake silver ticket to spread, it will be too late."

"It's not that serious, as long as you can identify a fake silver ticket." Mu Zong didn't know the harm of this fake silver ticket, so he said so, no way, it seems that I have to explain it to him in detail, or he doesn't pay attention to it.

"Your Majesty, the emperor may not know about the harm of this fake silver ticket, and Weichen will give you a detailed introduction here. Once the news of the fake silver ticket is found, the credibility of our silver ticket will be over immediately, and it cannot be said that it is almost the end of the 'door', if the other party comes out to use it, the fake silver ticket, maybe these silver tickets are a piece of waste paper, and there is no credit at all. Therefore, now that the development momentum of the silver ticket is so good, there must be someone who is jealous and wants to use a fake silver ticket to hit our silver number, if our silver number is hit, the emperor will not be able to control the idle silver in the society in the future, if there is something in the court, there will be no silver available. Now if the imperial court needs silver, our silver number can immediately mobilize tens of millions of taels of silver, and silver is the foundation of the country. If our silver trumpet is developed, it will be the silver treasury of the imperial court in the future, and it will still be an inexhaustible silver treasury. ”

"That's really the case, so what to do now, how do you need me to help you deal with it." Mu Zong finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and since the beginning of the silver trumpet, the officials of the court have never been in arrears, all of them are silver bills issued from us, and the household department has given us IOUs and paid interest. Wait until next year's tax revenue comes up, and then come to repay the debt, if the silver number is down now, just the court officials' salaries and soldiers' salaries can make Mu Zong sad to death.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be 'handed over' to Manager Chen to handle secretly, and the news of the fake silver ticket cannot be 'exposed', so Weichen came to the emperor to compress this news to the minimum."

"Okay, then pass on Chen Jiu here, let's discuss how to solve the case together."

Mu Zong shouted a few words to the eunuch who was waiting outside the 'door', and the eunuch hurriedly ran out to call Chen Jiu.

After a while, Chen Jiu came, entered the main hall, and after saluting Mu Zong, he looked at me and said, "Long live Lord, there is something wrong with finding a slave." ”

"Yes, I came to you because there was a problem on Lord Lan's side, but this matter can't be known by Shuntianfu and Jinyiwei, so I can only trouble your East Factory, I don't know if you have enough manpower in East Factory, if it's not enough, I will allow you to expand."

"Long live the lord, there are really not enough people now, and the slave is trying to mention it to the long live lord to see if he can find some of them."

"Okay, I'm ready, you go and write an excerpt, how many people do you need, don't give it to the celebrant supervisor, just use the seal with me, now, Lord Lan will tell you about the case, and we will discuss what to do."

Next, I talked about the facts of the case, and also talked about the dangers of fake silver tickets, and my inferences were also stated.

After listening to this, Chen Jiu said: "Long live the lord, Lord Lan, this matter is indeed very serious, this fake silver ticket, not necessarily for the silver, but to make the silver ticket lose its credit, causing a big 'chaos' of social order, long live Lord and Lord Lan, you think about it, now the use of silver tickets in the capital has become popular, if there is a fake silver ticket, it will inevitably make people panic, and they will not dare to use silver tickets in the future, even if they use silver tickets, they are also worried." Those who have been deceived of silver in their hands and received fake silver tickets, if they all take them to the silver number to exchange, the silver number will definitely refuse to accept it if it is found to be fake, so that they will be provoked again, it is estimated that it will cause a big 'chaos', so this case is different from the ordinary, it is necessary to investigate and investigate it quickly, and before it has caused an impact, it is necessary to arrest them. ”

"Okay, I'll let the two of you work together to investigate this case, Lan Yunjie has other business to do, Chen Jiu, you are in charge of the general, Lan Yunjie is in charge of the silver number, I found that someone was using a fake silver ticket, immediately caught him, I will write a secret decree, one for each of you, or when someone makes it difficult, you have nothing to say." Mu Zong is right, if we really go to arrest people, we can't do it without a will, and besides, our case has to be handled under extremely confidential circumstances, and the outside world doesn't know about it at all, and with a secret will, there will be less trouble.

The three of us discussed all the possibilities, and finally formulated a strategy, that is, to secretly investigate all the printing shops in the capital, whether they were from the imperial court or 'private', and also to find out the top printing craftsmen, plate makers, and pigment dealers in the capital. Chen Jiu is responsible for handling these, and we will also let Chen Jiu's people go in and make secret visits in our ya'men.

Semicolons in various places, immediately notified, now make preparations first, temporarily do not open, wait until the case of fake silver tickets is solved, unified opening, Xuanfu and the capital of the two silver numbers, increase the screening of silver tickets, resolutely do not let fake silver tickets 'mix' in, found fake silver tickets, our Ya 'door' can first arrest people, and then move 'handed' to the East Factory for interrogation, recently control the printing of silver tickets, if there is a fake silver ticket in the market, we immediately stop using the old version of the silver ticket, and replace it with a new version. But this method is also very troublesome, recycling silver tickets, printing new silver tickets, all need to 'waste' a lot of manpower and material resources, not to use this method as a last resort, this is also an auxiliary method, these have my responsibility.

In the end, I came up with a stupid solution, that is, to mobilize our students in Guozijian, during this period of time, let them quickly master the rules of the authenticity of the silver ticket, do systematic training, and then send it to hundreds of streets in the capital, if there is a silver ticket 'trade', they can identify the authenticity of the silver ticket for free. Although this method is very stupid, but it is also very realistic, mainly because we have a number on the silver ticket, when they identify, they can also write down the number, so as not to be used, so that the fake silver ticket temporarily does not dare to take out the use, give me time to solve the case.
