The sedan chair walked to the big market street, where the money was gathered, and suddenly heard someone outside making a noise, shouting, according to Liu Ziguang's current grade, he shouldn't care about these small things in the market, but a word from the crowd made him angry.

"What are you Wucheng Terracotta Division, you are the fan of the South Factory, and you are not afraid!" This arrogant sentence was shouted by a stout man, and his voice was high-pitched, powerful, and full of energy, and it seemed that his subordinates had encountered a stabbing character.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is Liu Ziguang's descendant, this force is equivalent to the Beijing Armed Police Corps, responsible for patrolling, catching thieves, and maintaining law and order, although it is a fat poor, but it is not an ordinary person who can do it, there are too many powerful people in the capital, everything is investigated, I don't know how many bigwigs will be offended, I open one eye and close one eye, and I am afraid that the public security in the capital will deteriorate, and Li Yan's black gauze hat is unstable, so Liu Ziguang has always asked them to be careful to watch people, and the dishes are small, otherwise, even if the people are very angry, they will be directly transferred to the south factory to deal with, and strive to keep the right to speak in this important yamen for a long time, but the trouble encountered this time is really not small, dare to argue with the five cities soldiers and horses, and just take the south factoryIt would be too arrogant to come out and say something, and at that moment, Liu Ziguang snorted coldly and said to the guard next to the sedan chair: "Go over and take a look." Now Liu Ziguang walks in the capital, no longer has to carry the sedan chair, full of honor guards, he thinks that it is too ostentatious, and the degree is also slow, so they are ordinary four-lift sedan chairs or horseback guards, and there are not more than a dozen, just the inner guards and Nanchang Fanzi each account for half, just this unique battle can be sideways in the capital, the clever people know at a glance that it is the master of the Marquis of Zhenwu, sure enough, after Liu Ziguang's pride carried over, a group of people who are pushing and shoving, have stopped, Liu Ziguang got out of the sedan chair, and looked up, it turned out to be a group of men wearing official boots, and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were confronted, and a little old man wearing a flower fragrance cloud gauze robe was sandwiched in the middle, and the location was the door of a Rishengchang ticket number。

"Who just said that Nanchang Fanzi is not afraid when he comes? Stand up and let Ben Hou take a look. Liu Ziguang said.

The men who were still alive just now suddenly deflated and replied respectfully: "Master Hou, the little ones said the wrong thing for a while, but these soldiers were really unreasonable, and they listened to the words of the boss of the ticket number and insisted on locking us back, so there was a dispute." ”

"Well, if you have something to say, which yamen are you from? Why is there a disturbance at the door of this ticket number? Liu Ziguang asked.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the little ones are all hundreds of households of Yulin Right Guard, and they came to the money village to exchange some scattered silver, and they didn't think about it, and the ticket number shopkeeper said that our silver tickets are fake, which is surprising, obviously it is the Rishengchang silver ticket of the Eight Classics, how did it become fake, this old guy not only wants to confiscate the silver ticket, but also called the brothers of the Soldiers and Horses, how to take us, how can we say that we are also dignified Yulinwei, how can we say that we can take it......" The voice of the leading Yulinwei Baihu became lower and lower, and then he didn't dare to look up at Zhenwuhou, you must know that according to their grade.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is qualified to arrest them, and there is no problem of violating the rules. Liu Ziguang didn't care about these trivial things, what shocked him was that the silver ticket was fake, this is a big thing, the fake silver ticket everywhere can easily destroy the economic system of Rishengchang and even the Ming Dynasty, and the damage caused is immeasurable.

"Bring me the silver ticket and I'll take a look." Liu Ziguang said. The shopkeeper of the ticket number hurriedly ran over and presented five beautifully printed silver tickets, all of which were ten taels, and this face value was the most widely circulated one, roughly equivalent to half a month's salary of a middle-income person, and the general amount of goods trade, regular material procurement, and even military salaries could be used under this face value of silver tickets.

There are three kinds of silver tickets of Risheng Changxing, ten taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels, these three denominations of silver tickets are bearer, only in the means of printing with various anti-counterfeiting measures, basically used as cash silver circulation, the nationwide Risheng Chang ticket number, can be exchanged for silver ingots and silver dollars at will.

To put it simply, they do exactly the same thing as when it comes to banknotes. As for transactions below ten taels, silver and copper coins are directly used without silver bills, because the cost of printing a silver ticket is not low, and the portability of scattered silver is very strong, and there is basically no need for silver bills to replace it, and the amount of more than one hundred taels is replaced by a registered promissory note, divided into five hundred taels, one thousand taels, 10,000 taels three kinds of printing is more fine, in addition to marking the number, but also on the back of the application for the promissory note party's seal and signature, when transferring the promissory note, you need to go to the special ticket number window to handle the endorsement, which is also a reflection of the strict financial system of Rishengchang, the small amount is the cash bank transaction, the large amount is the promissory note transaction, only the middle of the medium amount of silver ticket is the weakest link in the circulation link, the most afraid is the appearance of counterfeit banknotes, but what is afraid of what to come, the five silver bills with ten taels in Liu Ziguang's hand, although they look very real, but they are indeed counterfeit banknotes！

Liu Ziguang beckoned the ticket number shopkeeper to come over and said, "How can you say that it is a fake silver ticket when it is a real silver ticket?" Why don't you hurry up and give the money to others! The shopkeeper looked at Liu Ziguang hesitantly: "Master Hou? This..."Liu Ziguang was silent, and the shopkeeper was a capable talent trained by Rishengchang, and immediately changed his words: "It's small, so let's give them a few masters to exchange silver." "A few hundred households of Yu Linwei got the cash of Bai Huahua, and they kowtowed to Zhenwu Hou with thousands of thanks, and then left, of course, kowtowing because Hou Ye did not control them from talking nonsense and making trouble on the street, not to get back the silver they deserved, because in their opinion, these silver tickets are obviously true.

Several hundred households took the silver to the Qinhuai River and dashed ten taels of silver tickets, although in the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles, it is not a big number, but in the eyes of ordinary people and low-level officers, it is still full of value, so that they always like to get the ticket number before consumption, and exchange the silver tickets for scattered silver ingots and copper plates, which are convenient and cost-effective.

Liu Ziguang held five fake silver tickets, frowned, he got out of the sedan chair, walked into the back hall of the ticket number, called the shopkeeper, and asked straight to the point: "How many fake silver tickets are there?" ”

"Back to Hou Ye, I have collected four or five hundred taels of fake tickets for a while, and the guys didn't pay attention to it at first, but later when the account office checked it for the second time, it was realized that these fake tickets were too fine, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all."

"Oh, does the big shopkeeper know about this?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"The big shopkeeper already knows, and he is very concerned about her, and we must find out the identity of the person holding the fake ticket, and if necessary, we can inform the patrolling soldiers and horses, so I made such a fuss today, which distracted the Hou Ye, and the little one is really damned."

"Okay, this matter has its own measure, from tomorrow onwards, the south factory will send a fan ticket number on duty, and if there are fake tickets, you will hint at it, and we will deal with it." After arranging the ticket number, Liu Ziguang's mood is even heavier, the source of counterfeit banknotes may be a criminal group seeking benefits, or it may be an enemy country with greater ambitions, no matter which one is very terrible, because at this moment the fake silver ticket he is holding in his hand is indeed too much like the real thing, even the thickness of the banknote paper feels the same, the only difference is that the pattern of some parts is slightly different from the original, but it is the same fine, who can print such counterfeit banknotes, it is tantamount to mastering Jinshan, a large number of counterfeit banknotes are rampant in the market, not only will cause the loss of silver, but more terrible is that it will cause an avalanche-like chain reaction, resulting in the public's suspicion of other financial products of Rishengchang, which is also Liu Ziguang just nowThe reason why the shopkeeper of the ticket number exchanged the silver to those guys is that now is not the time to startle the snake, Nanchang Fanzi has already gone to track a few of them, starting with the user, on the one hand, from the internal review of Rishengchang, and it is also another aspect, without the thief, it is impossible to grasp the secret of the paper used in the silver ticket.

Liu Ziguang felt that there was a big net in the dark and scattered towards him, it may not be an assassination of a real knife or a real gun, but it is more terrible than a real knife and a real gun, and the recent things are too strange, and these things are directed at the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, and most people do not know the horror of the financial turmoil, but Liu Ziguang can understand very well, once the sun rises and the credit crisis of the central bank of the Daimyo, this turmoil is even more terrible than the invasion of the 100,000 troops of the Manchu Dynasty, this kind of economic war is not the jurisdiction of Nanchang, Rishengchang is not the yamen of the imperial court, so there will not be too many people to pay attention to this point to attack the Ming State, the initiator of this plan must be a master。

"Let Sun Gang send cadres to investigate this matter thoroughly, and officials at any level involved will not be tolerated." This is Liu Ziguang's words to let his subordinates bring to the head of the South Factory, and Liu Ziguang will not point fingers at the specific investigation work, on the one hand, because he does not want to overstep the command, and on the other hand, he really does not have that time.

As the minister of palace guards of the Ming Empire and the head of the counter-espionage agency, Liu Ziguang's schedule should be very full, but in fact, when the sun is in the west, he will go home, and then do not deal with any official business, on the beautiful island of Xuanwu Lake, he has dinner with his beloved wife Zeng Cheng and enjoy the sunset, and then Qingqing and I did not go out of the island again in the name of fishing until the next morning, in fact, it is difficult for people with heavy responsibilities on their shoulders to separate work and life, Liu Ziguang is no exception, although no one disturbs him, but today's events make him really not in the mood to have fun, and the dinner table is inevitably a little wilting。

"Xianggong, I gave you half a catty of white wine today, braised a big fish, and slaughtered a duck, and got you so many good dishes, do you know why?" Zeng Cheng said in a slow voice while holding a small pottery wine jug and pouring wine for Liu Ziguang.

"Why? What's your birthday today? Liu Ziguang put down his chopsticks and asked.

"It's not."

"That's our duck laying double yolk eggs again?"

"What's the matter, people ignore you anymore." Zeng Cheng pouted.

"Then I really can't guess it, you can say it quickly." Liu Ziguang was a little absent-minded, always thinking about counterfeit banknotes in his mind, picking up the wine glass and sending it to his lips.

"Hmm... Well... I have..."Zeng Cheng said in a small voice like a mosquito, a pair of small hands pinching the corners of his clothes, and his little face was crimson, which was good-looking.

The wine glass fell to the ground, and Liu Ziguang was dumbfounded

"I'm going to be a dad?"
