In the Great Song Dynasty's war plan against Srivijaya, there was no need to mobilize troops from the Jiangnan region, which was the core essence of the Great Song Dynasty, or even from the Fujian Road or even the Liangguangxi Road. A large-scale crusade would only require a fleet to be assembled from the sea and the local militia to be mobilized from Siam.

The battle plan was adopted in early February, and then it was sent south from Hangzhou to the south along the costly cable telegraph network of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Ding Fei, a prisoner in Fujian Road, had also arrived at his destination, Fuzhou, and began his errand. When he got this official position, Ding Fei was actually quite emotional in his heart. In Ding Fei's eyes, Zhao Guanjia is an earth-shattering hero, and Ding Fei is already very satisfied if he can do important henchmen under Zhao Guanjia. Now he can actually become the official position that Zhao Guanjia once did, which is something that Ding Fei never dared to think of before.

With this mood, Ding Fei first took a big walk around Fuzhou. Fuzhou has changed so much that Ding Fei feels that he no longer knows the city. The first is that the old city of Fuzhou is gone. At that time, the largest landlord in Fuzhou was naturally the Zhao official family, followed by the big cannibals.

After the Zhao family established the small imperial court in Fuzhou, they turned their land into state-owned land. The big food merchant is basically wiped out now, and Ding Fei has made a big effort in it. Zhao Guanjia deliberately revealed the modified granule gunpowder formula back then, and Ding Fei always felt that he was worried in his heart, but he looked back after almost ten years. The value of such a huge piece of land alone is immense.

With these two major heads, coupled with the government's replacement of the old square meters with newly built buildings, and the construction of a large number of low-rent houses and 'shop houses', Fuzhou, where the land is completely state-owned, began to build vigorously and on a large scale.

In addition to the new city, a number of hydroelectric factories have been built in Fuzhou, which is next to the Minjiang River. In the beginning, Fuzhou water power was mainly used to produce cotton cloth, and now cotton cloth has begun to be produced in cotton-producing fields further north. Ding Fei had heard many complaints, as if the sky was about to fall.

After returning to Fuzhou, Ding Fei found that Fuzhou's hydroelectric factories not only did not decline, but flourished. The cotton cloth production factory disappeared, mulberry trees were planted in the mountainous area around Fuzhou, and the textile factory was transformed from a cotton factory into a silk factory. With silk, the embroidery industry also developed rapidly.

In addition, the brick factory, paper mill, and shipyard that were originally built in Fuzhou are still thriving. Fuzhou was originally rich in sailors, and after the development of Mawei Port, a large number of tea and other goods were sold here. Cities show no signs of declining, but are thriving.

After spending a week walking around and contacting the local government, Ding Fei felt that he had a basic understanding of the current situation in Fuzhou. After knowing this, Ding Fei began to investigate the counterfeit banknote case in Fuzhou.

Originally, when Zhao Guan's family was in Fujian Road to mention the prison, he looked at the name of this official position, and the mention of the prison should have been aimed at crimes. In fact, this official position belongs to everything that must be able to meddle, and the main errand becomes tax collection. Now the prison has finally returned to its original appearance. Specialized in matters relating to the administration of justice.

Based on such changes, Ding Fei of Fujian Lutidian Prison visited the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau and the procuratorate. When the comrades here heard about it, they immediately asked the archivist to look up the relevant cases.

Looking at the response of the person in charge, Ding Fei began to suspect that the problem of counterfeit banknotes in Fuzhou was not serious. The Great Song Dynasty paid money was the only currency for the income of the Song Dynasty officials, and if the problem of counterfeit banknotes was serious, it would inevitably cause people to panic. Everyone is afraid that they will receive counterfeit money, and all kinds of rumors are rampant. Where is this 'I'm going to ask' situation, where there is no need to ask at all, and the local officials immediately gush about it.

Sure enough, Ding Fei waited for a while before seeing the personnel here take out some files. According to the introduction, these counterfeit banknotes are mainly people who fled from Jiangnan to this side in the past, and they are exchanged for banknotes from all walks of life in Jiangnan. Some of the disputes and conflicts that eventually arose. The problematic banknotes are probably the counterfeit banknotes in the previous banknotes from all walks of life, and this kind of thing has never been heard of since the new version of the banknotes.

Ding Fei frowned when he heard this. He did not have an opinion about the comrades in Fuzhou now, but was very surprised by the counterfeit banknotes in the old version of the banknotes. Ding Fei thought for a while and asked, "Can you take some old banknotes and old fake banknotes, and then give me some new banknotes to compare?" ”

The comrades here immediately said that they only had counterfeit banknotes here, and that they had to go to the Fuzhou branch of the Great Song Qianzhuang to find the old version of the banknotes. Ding Fei sent someone to contact the Fuzhou branch of the Great Song Qianzhuang and continued to listen to the report. Two hours later, when the comrade who went to the Fuzhou branch came back, he said angrily: "Ding Tidian, it is said that the old banknotes are basically burned, and the remaining banknotes are stored as archives. If you want to see it, you have to go to their archives and look at it, you can't take the files away. ”

When Ding Fei heard this, he looked at the comrades of the Fuzhou Public Security. The comrades of the public security immediately replied: "Ding Tidian, we have a rule here, and the evidence cannot be taken away. If you want to take it away, you have to talk to the director of our Public Security Department. ”

“…… I'll just apply. Ding Fei did not have any comrades who were difficult for the Public Security Bureau to receive, he himself was doing anti-rape work, and he knew very well that such a powerful department must have very strict regulations. Having seen the great trial of Song Rape, Ding Fei knew that it was likely that a single piece of evidence could change the outcome of the trial. For example, in the trial of a case of counterfeit banknotes, the counterfeit banknotes suddenly disappeared, and the lawsuit could not be handled immediately. In the Anti-Adultery Committee, there are some lawbreakers who can't stand the temptation and have engaged in tricks to lose evidence.

It was only on the afternoon of the third day that Ding Fei had the opportunity to compare the old banknotes, fake old banknotes, and new banknotes together. After comparison, Ding Fei saw the difference. First of all, the new banknotes are very delicate, and the paper texture is much better than the old ones. The color of the printing is clear, and all kinds of imprints are very powerful.

As for the fake old banknotes, most of them are the same as the real banknotes, and only some small details are more obvious differences from the real banknotes. This is really a house thief who is difficult to prevent and steal the roof beams.

Speaking of the banknote printing bureau, Ding Fei remembered something, and he asked: "The mint is in Fuzhou, right?" ”

The comrades of the Fuzhou branch of the Great Song Qianzhuang immediately replied: "It is in Fuzhou." ”

Ding Fei couldn't help but reach into his pocket and touch a silver coin in his pocket. This kind of silver coin was minted by order of the Zhao official family, who began to mint gold and silver coins since the Zhao official family began to mine gold and silver in large quantities from Sado Island. Gold and silver have also changed from bribery to universal currency.

The weight of silver coins is divided into one tael, half tael, and two coins. Ding Fei himself likes this kind of heavy metal currency very much, and when he puts a few in his pocket, he feels very confident.

"Have you ever heard of counterfeit silver coins?" Ding Fei couldn't help but ask.

"Haha." The comrade from the bank laughed, "Ding Tidian is really joking." How to counterfeit silver coins, this weight, fineness, and feel are placed here, and you can know if you want to counterfeit them. ”

"Then have you heard of counterfeit banknotes in Quanzhou?" Ding Fei changed the question.

"It's hard to say whether there is anything wrong with Quanzhou, but we seem to have heard that there seem to be counterfeit banknotes in Guangzhou on Guangnan East Road."

"Guangzhou?" Ding Fei was stunned. The purpose of his trip was to investigate the case of counterfeit banknotes, but the Fujian Road Tidian Prison probably couldn't go to Guangnan East Road, which had their own Tidian Prison. Ding Fei suddenly had a very optimistic idea in his heart, either he would finish checking Quanzhou and prove that Qi Rong, the owner of the Xianqian Village, was foolish, and then he could hand over the errand and return to Hangzhou to take office.

As soon as such a beautiful idea came out, Ding Fei himself vetoed it. With Zhao Guan's careful work, he probably wouldn't let Ding Fei do what he wanted. Moreover, there was no accurate result in the case of handing over the banknotes, and Ding Fei also felt that something was wrong in his heart.

At this moment, Ding Fei suddenly saw propaganda about silver in the newspaper. With a casual glance, Ding Fei felt that something was not right. When I picked up the newspaper and looked closely, I saw an article in the Fuzhou Daily, which said, 'Last year, the output of the silver mines in Fujian increased significantly, and together with the silver imported from the Japanese country, a total of 5 million silver coins were put into the market......

How dare you write on it? Ding Fei felt a little puzzled. Seeing that Ding Fei cared so much, the comrades of Qianzhuang smiled bitterly: "We also think it's not good to write like this." Before Ding Ti arrived, we were discussing this here. ”

People who have the same opinion, Ding Fei smiled bitterly: "Are the people of Fuzhou Daily full of food and have nothing to do?" This is also written? ”

"Let them make up the news every day, and there will always be a time when they don't have the goods in their stomachs."

"Make up the news?" Ding Fei was completely speechless at this word.

"They said they wanted an interview, but there was actually a Mao interview. They all sit in the room, and if there's anything they want to post, they post it. Or if there's something to advertise outside, they'll put it out. As for this kind of serious news part, where is there so much serious content written on it. I don't know what the people in the mining industry think, but I've already written about it a few times anyway. It's about blowing how hard the mint works. ”

"yes. If you want to work hard, you might as well write about us. Our Da Song Qian Zhuang is busy every day, and the mint can't compare at all. ”

Ding Fei was eager to immediately send someone to tell the people in the Fuzhou Daily not to report such a matter of state secrets. But after thinking about it, Ding Fei remembered that he was no longer the person in charge of the Anti-Rape Committee, and it seemed a bit unjustifiable for him to talk about such things as a prison sentence.

Just when Ding Fei was helpless about this, many newspapers, including "Fuzhou Daily", packed and sent them to the north. This was an important means of intelligence for Mongolian spies. The news about the silver of the Japanese kingdom was listed separately and sent to the north as the key content. Whether it was in the Great Song Dynasty or the Great Yuan, silver was now the hard currency.

The silver unit of the Great Song Dynasty is two, and there is an exchange ratio between silver and banknotes. Dayuan's banknote is
