"The commander is right." Huang Bodao, the political minister of the Tiance Army: "The eight Jin merchants started by smuggling the Manchu Qing, and once the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, their biggest trade object would no longer exist, so they spared no effort to bring down the economy of our starting city, so as to delay our army's march into Liaodong." ”

Huang Bo is the political minister of the Tiance Army, and he is also the political propaganda minister of the starting point city, so he will participate in the meetings of the starting point city management committee, which is also an attempt to use military and civilian talents.

The starting point party is the first real political party in history, and some theories and models are also being explored, and Huang Bo is now the person in charge of the party affairs of the starting point party, and the party affairs are directly under the leadership of Wang Yue.

Although Zhang Ziyun has the title of prime minister, she is not like the prime minister of later generations, in fact, in the eyes of people, she is Wang Yue's housekeeper.

The difference between the starting point city and the imperial court is that the departments are very detailed, and the departments, bureaus, divisions, and sections under each department are also equally detailed, so the proportion of civil servants in the starting point city far exceeds that of the Ming court.

Most of the directors of various departments are designated by Wang Yue, and they perform their own duties, so Zhang Ziyun's workload is not as big as imagined, not to mention that she also has Guo Yanchang as the director of the office.

"So what are we going to do?" Zhang Ziyun is more than five months pregnant, and she still insists on attending the meeting, but she is only nineteen years old after all, and this situation is indeed a bit complicated.

Wang Zhuo said hatefully: "Kill, the Tiance army will enter Shanxi, and Shanxi will be a bright and prosperous country." ”

Li Maochang said: "Commander, things may not be as simple as imagined. The Jin merchants have been operating in Shanxi Xuanda and other places for hundreds of years, and almost all the Xuanda officials and generals are their supporters, and the relationship is intertwined.

In the north and south of the river, there are also many people close to them, that is, in the cabinet, there are also many cabinet elders, who speak for them, and even some of the big eunuchs in the palace can receive their regular filial piety every year. ”

Wang Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "My Tiance Army is still afraid of them? ”

Wang Yue waved his hand, signaling his brother to be calm, he looked at everyone and said: "The situation in Shanxi is not as simple as rushing in and killing a few people, Wang Zhuo, Ziyun, Huang Bo, Minister Li, Minister Wang and Li Yunhai and other relevant personnel stayed, and the rest of the meeting was dismissed first." ”

Seeing that people from other departments were leaving, Wang Yue said to Huang Bo: "Inform Gu Xiuquan and Zhang Tiezhu to come to the meeting." ”

"Yes!" Huang Bo went out to make a phone call.

Wang Yue didn't expect to come to the Ming Dynasty and fight a financial war, but it's not surprising to think about it, this kind of economic war was left over during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

He knew the power of the Jin merchants, and since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, they began to lay out, vigorously cultivating the children of the clan to be officials, or to become military generals in various places.

They also vigorously make friends with powerful people from all over the world, the means can be described as moisturizing things silently, these businessmen are quite smart, before they make friends, they are not naked O naked, and the power and money transactions that split their heads and cover their faces seem to have a kind of silent dedication.

Which official wants to buy the land, they didn't say a word, they secretly sent the land deed, which official sent the children of the family in difficulty, they secretly sent money, and which eunuch took a fancy to which shop, they bought it, and also secretly sent it, without even mentioning their own requirements.

For so many years, decades and days, people with iron hearts have been moved, such a righteous businessman, who does not support it?

Just say a few good words at a critical moment, or make it convenient, and there will be a steady stream of benefits to send, without expense, who doesn't want to?

In addition to the losses caused by the smuggling of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the country, they can be described as the spokespersons of the perfect person. ”

In addition, those Jin merchants, in the Jiangnan area, also have many allies, although they have a competitive relationship with the Donglin Party consortium in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, but on the point of "competing with the people", their views are the same.

Moreover, because many grain, salt, iron, tea and other materials in the north need to be imported from the south, those Jin merchants, and many consortia in Jiangnan and Guangdong, are competitors to each other, and there is a cooperative relationship, which can be described as a common spirit and mutual support.

Therefore, the Tiance army needs a reason to eradicate the Jin merchants, a justifiable reason to enter Shanxi, if they can't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, all actions are blind.

Gu Xiuquan, director of the Military Investigation Bureau, and Zhang Tiezhu, the captain of the special brigade, both worked in the municipal building, so they came quickly.

Wang Yue explained to them the situation of the meeting just now, and then took out the counterfeit money and shook it at everyone present and said: "There is another situation, which Minister Li and Minister Wang did not mention just now, that is, the Jin merchants have ghosts in my starting point city. ”

Zhang Ziyun was shocked and said, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"Because of this silver dollar ticket." Wang Yue said with a smile: "No matter how high the Jin Shang's forgery ability is, it is impossible to produce the printing ink needed for the silver dollar bills of my Imperial Bank. The ink used in this fake silver dollar coupon is owned by my starting point city, this is chemical ink, and if Jin merchants want to get it, they can only get it from my starting point city. ”

The printing pigments of this time and space are all organic pigments, which are what later generations called green pigments, and these pigments are extracted from animals and plants.

The printing ink in the starting point city is an industrial manufactured product, and only the starting point city has it in this time and space, and there is no self-production capacity now, and it is even more impossible in other places.

Wang Yue lived in the later generations for more than 20 years, and lived in the surroundings of various chemical products for more than 20 years.

Li Yunhai, the Minister of Police, immediately analyzed: "There are two main printing houses owned by my starting point city, one is a newspaper office, and the other is the mint of the bank. Printers from other departments are unable to provide such inks. ”

"The inner ghost is in the Mint." Wang Yue narrowed down further, and he shook the fake silver yuan coupon again and said, "This counterfeit coin is so realistically made, I have no doubt that someone has provided a printing template for the counterfeit maker."

It's a pity that the Mint of the City where I started used special paper, and it was dark printing paper, and they didn't.

Moreover, the printing process of our Mint Bureau is mechanical numerical control printing, and the pattern is more delicate, which is difficult to compare with manual printing, so it is difficult to mess with counterfeit money, and it can also coax some uninformed people. ”
