"Bang!"

When Shi Zhao, who had a cocked mouth, put down the teacup, the crisp sound was undoubtedly showing her dissatisfaction in this way.

In this regard, even Shi Lei, as a father, was embarrassed only after she left.

"It's really a subordinate official who has no way to teach her daughter, please don't blame it!"

"It is rare to make love simple, it is rare, it is rare......"

Of course, the reason why Zhu Mingzhong came here was not to discuss the issue of goddaughter with him, although it was only a temporary idea, but there were other things.

"Sishi, how is that thing going now?"

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Mingzhong went straight to the point.

The incident in his mouth refers to the matter of minting money, as a Ming official minting money, if it is spread out, it will definitely cause a storm, so out of prudence, the matter of minting money was not handed over to the household department, but handed over to the Military Justice Department, which is responsible for Shi Lei, and the reason why it was handed over to Shi Lei is Zhu Mingzhong's own considerations, after all, in later generations, this kind of production of "fake money" is often handed over to the intelligence agency, and the Military Justice Department is the intelligence agency in Zhu Mingzhong's hands.

"Back to the scriptures, this matter has basically been done, and now it's just a matter of opening the furnace."

As he spoke, Shi Lei had already taken out a brand-new coin and handed it to Zhu Mingzhong. It seems that this is an ordinary "Shunzhi Tongbao", and the back text is composed of the Chinese character "Jiang" on the right and the "Yili" on the left. Since the word "one cent" means one cent, this is the money minted by the Jiangning Money Bureau.

"This is Jiang Yili?"

Looking at the Shunzhi Tongbao in his hand, Zhu Mingzhong felt that there was no difference between this money and the ordinary Shunzhi Tongbao.

"Exactly."

Shi Lei continued.

"Strategy, the mother fan of this coinage is taken from Nanjing, Nanjing is where the money is minted in my dynasty, after the capture of the theft, then the money bureau was set up here to cast copper coins, and now the money bureau has been recast my Ming Dynasty's "Yongli Tongbao", so this "Shunzhi Tongbao" mother money, mother fan was also abandoned, the official did not spend the slightest effort, the mother money, money Fan from Nanjing to take, so as to cast this money ......"

Shi Lei's answer made Zhu Mingzhong's face happy, isn't this the legendary mastering counterfeit money with real money! If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would not be possible to imagine that there was a money mother in Nanjing, so wouldn't it be real money?

"Four stones, we didn't make money for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how did this money be cast?"

"Jinglu, according to your meaning, in addition to scrap copper, we also tried to melt some "Shunzhi Tongbao", and then recast it into this, our cast "Shunzhi Tongbao" contains 60% copper, although it is reduced by 10%, but because Qian Fan is made of Qingyu's mother money, plus the caster is also a caster of the official money bureau, so the people of this coinage can't see the difference between it and Qingyu's money......"

Shi Lei's tone was neither fast nor slow, and he seemed very calm, he had never thought that one day he would need to mint money as someone who presided over military law, but now that he was involved in it, he found that this coinage was very likely to be another battlefield.

"There is always a little difference, but no one cares at all, even money and the like, after all, the market needs to make money!"

"Well, that's right, it doesn't matter if they don't care, the important thing is that we need to keep minting money! In the end, squeeze out the money of the captives! Knock them down! ”

Saying that, Zhu Mingzhong said with some emotion:

"Sishi, you are taking the risk for me in this matter, and when this matter is completed, Zhu will naturally write down this merit for you in his heart."

Although the matter of minting money is to fight against the Qing captives, it is easy to give people a handle and become a weapon for others to attack themselves, if once the matter is leaked, even if they succeed in staying out of the matter, but Shi Lei's side, it will be difficult at that time!

After a few words, Shi Lei hurriedly said:

"Jing Liu, where are you, Shi Lei, as a subordinate of Jing Liu, should naturally worry about Jing Liu, besides, this matter is to fight against the Qing captives, and how can it be for his own selfishness!"

"Well, that's true, but this coinage can also allow us to get some money."

Then Zhu Mingzhong continued:

"Relying on the tax revenue of Jiangbei alone to support the future Northern Expedition, it must not be possible, if you want to raise hundreds of thousands of troops, you have to think about it in other places, and when the tax source is insufficient, you can only take the risk of taking this road."

In this era, some things in China are indeed very nonsense, even if the fake money is created to hit the enemy, it can also become a handle for others to attack, so we need to be cautious, we need to be cautious, lest after the incident is leaked, it will be used by others and become a weapon of attack.

"Is this copper used to mint money solved?"

Shi Lei nodded and said.

"Copper is not a problem, this Qing captives cast money with scrap copper, Qing captives into the customs all the way to slaughter the city, the world Ding Ding does not exist one, Buddha statues, bronze abandoners abound, the price of copper per hundred catties is only about five taels, even if we use scrap copper to cast money, cast money thousands of words including the cost of silver in half a tael, in this way, the casting profit can reach about fifty percent......"

The low price of copper naturally leads to low costs, and low costs mean more money, and even this is the reason why it was decided to mint money in the first place, of course, to crack down on the credit of the Qing Dynasty money.

After all, folk utensils are used to cast money, which has too many impurities, which is quite complicated, otherwise it is matched with lead and tin, so the money cast is naturally unclear and the handwriting is blurred. Therefore, if you want to mint money, it is better to mint money in new copper, so that you can mint new money......"

Although he didn't know how to mint money at the beginning, Shi Lei, who was born in Jinyiwei, was better at learning, and in a very short period of time, he had learned some knowledge of minting money from those casters, and of course, he also obtained some information through other channels, and the importance of intelligence information was something that other officials did not have, so he was able to work out some solutions to problems in the shortest possible time.

"New copper? Where did this new copper come from? ”

When it comes to copper, Zhu Mingzhong is a big head, copper seems inconspicuous, but it is very useful, in addition to casting money, copper is also needed to manufacture weapons, especially the field artillery used in the army, when the front cannon is loaded, copper is the best casting raw material, if there is enough copper, how can the armory factory cast those scrapped iron cannons, I am afraid that this will have long cast those bronze cannons with a thousand rounds of life.

"Copper, we don't have it in China, it doesn't mean that there are no other places!"

Looking at Jing Liu, Shi Lei smiled slightly.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Copper?"
