Chapter 135: Disputes among Suppliers at Trading Points (7)

When Ding Fei was waiting for Zhao Guanjia to summon him, he looked at the imperial city across the lake and felt quite emotional in his heart.

When he was serving as the chairman of the Great Song Dynasty Anti-Traitor Committee, the forces represented by the Imperial City in Ding Fei's eyes were no less threatening to Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Taiwei than Song Traitor. This is also something that can't be helped, if the petty official family or Empress Dowager Yang at that time really declared Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Taiwei traitors, everyone would have to solve these troubles.

What happened after that made Ding Fei feel that it was unusual, and Zhao Guanjia raised his arms, and no one in the world objected. Oh, the relatives of the Empress Dowager Yang's family are against it. And then ...... No then. Things are calm, as if starting from the Fuzhou Imperial Court, it was originally Zhao Taiwei who was the official.

"Ding Shilang, the official family is invited." The guard said to Ding Fei.

Ding Fei stood up and glanced at the palace across the lake. It was nominally the political center of the Great Song Dynasty, and was not used except for the necessary large ceremonies. As a palace, the back garden became the new imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty. Not long after returning from Guangnan East Road, Ding Fei remembered that Jia Yidao, the former owner of this back garden, had been pardoned and returned to his hometown from the distant Guangnan East Road.

Walking into the back garden, Ding Fei also felt a little nostalgic. He's been here many times, and it seems like every time he comes here he can see some changes. The main change was that the wooden buildings were demolished and the new buildings were clearly made of reinforced concrete.

Walking past the beautiful fountain, Ding flew into the reception place of Zhao Guan's house. It is a small three-story building, decorated with granite walls on the outside, and it looks very simple and elegant. The first floor has also been elevated, and it is noticeably cooler and drier than the first floor, which is in contact with the mud. Walking up the beautiful staircase to the second floor, the feeling of refreshment becomes even stronger.

In the living room, Zhao Guan's family was waiting for Ding Fei. After a simple handshake, Zhao Jiaren said with a smile: "I heard that you have worked hard in Fujian and Guangnan East Road. ”

"Alas. The intelligence is not accurate, and that's it. Ding Fei sighed.

The two sat down, and Ding Fei began to report on his previous experience as a prisoner in Fujian Lutidian. Zhao Guanjia also served as Fujian Lutidian Prison, but Steward Zhao was not hypocritical, and this official position continued to be held by other officials. If it was the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhao family would not have done this. For example, the prince's appointment as the governor of Kaifeng is equivalent to the prince's explicitness. After that, the ministers were the right to know Kaifeng Mansion Yin, or Kaifeng Prefecture Governor.

Of course, Ding Fei had no intention of rebelling anyway. The people around him just thought that Ding Fei was able to do Fujian Road Prison Prison, which meant that he had a bright future. Ding Fei thinks so.

However, this time the errand of Fujian Road to mention the prison was very bad for Ding Fei, Zhao Guanjia asked, Ding Fei immediately began to attack Qi Rong, the cousin of Qi Ye, the current manager of the Great Song Dynasty. "That Qi Rong is talking nonsense. There are so many counterfeit banknotes somewhere, it's all nonsense. This time, I went to the local area, especially the Fujian Road and Quang Nam East and West Road, which are said to be the hardest hit. Most of them were 17th banknotes carried by people who fled there, and some were 18th banknotes. The so-called counterfeit banknotes are not aimed at the current new banknotes, but the imitation of the old banknotes that have existed before. And the quality of those fake banknotes is low, and it is easy to see it. However, the officials, there are still some fake banknotes, but I am afraid that someone in the banknote printing bureau at that time is making trouble......"

"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren nodded slightly. He believes in Ding Fei's investigation, except for Ding Fei's investigation, the news from other channels is actually similar to what Ding Fei said. After the promulgation of the new money bank law, money banks have to unconditionally undertake the work of exchanging and storing banknotes, and there are a little more things to deal with fake banknotes.

After talking about handing over the banknotes, I said something else. Ding Fei couldn't help but talk about the fact that Jia Yidao had been pardoned and returned to his hometown. For this powerful minister of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, it is said that he is still a friend of Zhao Guan's family, Ding Fei still cares a little.

"Jia Rudao, although this person is not a sage, he has also worked hard within his ability." Zhao Jiaren replied. In the Great Song Dynasty, the punishment of exile was abolished by Zhao Jiaren's order, and the exile became a long-distance detention and labor camp. And Jia Rudao is 67 years old, there is no need to get along with such an old man.

"Hmm." When it comes to topics related to the deceased, Ding Fei can't help but think of Zhang Shijie.

"You've heard the news that we're sending out the Red Turbans." Zhao Jiaren asked.

Ding Fei was shocked, and as soon as he thought of Zhang Shijie, Zhao Guanjia mentioned something that had a lot to do with Zhang Shijie. Ding Fei's internal level is very high, and he can get a lot of the same internal information as the Minister of Justice. The nominal leader of the Red Turban Army was a man named Lin Dengwan made up by the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, the supreme leader is Zhang Shijie, who was born in Hebei.

felt that Zhao Guanjia didn't mean to hint at this, but Ding Fei still felt a little shocked.

"On the surface, we are going to fight the Mongols, but secretly we are still prepared. I decided to copy the Zhongtong ingots from the Mongolian side. Zhao Guanjia continued the previous topic.

Ding Fei's eyes lit up after hearing this. The reason why the Great Song Dynasty is so concerned about the counterfeit banknotes in China is because the counterfeit banknotes have caused significant harm to the economy of the Great Song Dynasty. Because of this, Ding Fei can also understand how an attack on Mongolia would affect Mongolia, which has a pure paper money system.

Zhao Jiaren continued: "So I want to make sure that there are any clues that you think there are any signs that Mongolia is attacking us with counterfeit money. ”

Ding Fei lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, then decisively raised his head and replied: "Official, if you climb indiscriminately, listening to the wind is rain, then there is nothing impossible in the world." As far as I can see, there is no clear indication that our Great Song counterfeit banknotes are grouped with the Mongols. ”

There is a great deal of responsibility to make such statements. After Ding Fei finished speaking, he felt uneasy in his heart, and looked at Zhao Jiaren intently. saw that Zhao Jiaren just nodded and responded: "Got it." ”

At this time, Ding Fei felt that a heart had completely fallen back into his stomach, for such a resolute and resolute official, it was too important to be able to gain the trust of the Zhao official family.

With a relaxed heart, Ding Fei couldn't help but say: "But the official, I think your new banknote law is too considerate of the people." After I went to so many places this time, I met many people, and finally knew that at least forty percent of the people in the Great Song Dynasty had never seen the payment of money. ”

"Tell me about it." Zhao Jiaren responded. In fact, he also knows some of this news, and the denomination of this thing is huge, and ordinary people can't use it at all. Mongolia in the north used a complete banknote system, so the smallest unit of banknote denomination was ten wen. The Great Song Dynasty banknotes are paid in units, and the auxiliary coins are copper coins. It is not uncommon for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to have never seen the payment of money.

Ding Fei told about his own experience, some irresponsible news said that a certain deserted ravine was counterfeiting money, Ding Fei went to investigate, and found that the place was not to mention counterfeiting money, they had not even seen the real money. But Ding Fei and others are popular enough. On the contrary, through the system of rumor-mongering, some other illegal and criminal elements were caught.

The matter was almost over, and Zhao Jiaren asked Ding Fei again, "What interesting news have you heard recently?" ”

At this time, Ding Fei remembered the news that he had seen Zhang Shijie here before. In the past, Ding Fei was quite jealous of Zhang Shijie and Empress Dowager Yang and the rebellion of the petty official family against Zhao Taiwei, but now the situation has changed, the petty official family has changed into the Great Song Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Yang married Zhang Shijie, and Zhang Shijie is going to Hebei to lead the Red Turban Army to fight against the Mongols. It's really unpredictable.

"Say whatever you want." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.

Ding Fei couldn't help but tell Zhao Guan's family that Zhang Shijie was worried about his wife's safety, so he applied for more police force. As the former chairman of the anti-rape committee, Ding Fei certainly knows the inside story of Lin'an's security management. This large area centered on the Imperial City is now under the responsibility of the Imperial City Garrison Division, which consists of six battalions to manage the area in a wartime system. That is, all the armed forces here are considered as enemies in the whole plan. The Guard Corps needs to be able to cope with extreme situations. So in any case, there will be no additional police force.

However, after saying the 'jokes' he knew, Ding Fei regretted it. He didn't expect the expression on Zhao Guanjia's face to change, it was an expression that looked a little cold, and when Zhao Guanjia showed such an expression, it was his expression that he must solve the problem.

I'm just looking for nothing! Ding Fei regretted it in his heart. But regret is useless, for a resolute and resolute monarch like the Zhao Guanjia, he will not let go of the problems he sees.

After Ding Fei left, Zhao Jiaren summoned the currency printing technicians of the Great Song Dynasty General Money Village, as well as the personnel of the secret operations department of the Great Song Intelligence Bureau, to ask how the counterfeit Mongolian Zhongtong ingots were used. With the situation of the Great Yuan, the Great Song had ample space to carry out this action.

"Official. Mongolia has taken away a lot of officials from our banknote printing bureau, and also taken away some banknote plates from the Lin'an banknote printing bureau. We see an improvement in the payment of banknotes on the Mongolian side. The personnel of the Intelligence Bureau seemed to be reproachful.

"Now that we've made improvements, do we have any new banknotes printed?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"It's been printed, and the people here have been transported." The printing technicians of the total money bank answered neatly.

"Oh?" Zhao Jiaren felt that the technicians were particularly confident.

The technician replied decisively: "Official, those officials of the Great Song Dynasty Money Village who were arrested used our Great Song Dynasty banknote printing technology in Mongolia's Zhongtong Yuanbao banknotes, so it is easier to imitate than before." ”

"Oh......." Zhao Jiaren didn't know what to say, and he looked at the cadres of the General Intelligence Bureau, "Then is there any problem when we use the new banknotes?" Is it difficult for someone to be caught? ”

The officer of the intelligence bureau shook his head. Since the technician was so confident, he also puffed up his chest and replied: "Guanjia, something has happened now." Mongolia's Zhongtong Yuanbao has issued a lot of banknotes, and the most we printed at that time were 10 and 20 banknotes. Now these bills are worthless, and probably nothing can be bought. ”
