Chapter 535: Counterfeit Money Ferments
In that secret room, the bear and the fox were doing an experiment.
The bear wrote out a denomination of encrypted characters at random, and then asked the fox to check Liu Xingwu's codebreaker.
After a lot of busyness, the fox laughed.
"That's right, Brother Bear, it's really yours, don't look at Liu Xingwu's old thief like a ghost, and he also drank the footwashing water of our brothers, this time the password is there, it's just that kind of money printing paper, our brothers are rich, hahaha."
Bear also said.
"Don't worry, tomorrow the last batch of banknote printing paper will be sent from the waterway, I have already contacted the water thief Langlijiao, and there will be good news the day after tomorrow."
Soon after, the prince summoned Lu Ning and Liu Xingwu and told them that the coinage paper that had been transported to Infinity the day before had been robbed by Shuishui, and that all the officials who escorted it had been killed, and that all the papers had fallen into the hands of the bandits.
At this time, Liu Xingwu also told the prince.
"Prince Qiyu, the old minister's bureau has also been mixed in by strangers, although no documents have been lost, but the order in which those documents are placed has been disrupted, and I guess the password arrangement has been leaked."
The prince was shocked at the time and said.
"Two Aiqing, my father is worshipping his ancestors in Zhongdu, and I am alone in the capital to supervise the country, so I made this big mess, how should this be?"
Lu Ning sighed, and said in his heart, he finally knew what the "prince benevolence" meant in the history books.
This is of course to praise this person for being very kind, but in fact, it is also a euphemism for criticizing this person for being very unassertive, to put it more bluntly, it is a bit of a wretch.
But this is not the time to find out whether the prince is a wreck, and it is necessary to come up with a set of effective methods.
Now the situation was still under their control, so he immediately ordered Zhu Xiongying.
"Count the missing papers, and our Daming Academy will immediately replenish them."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment when he heard this order and said.
"Brother, since we lost these papers, we should recover them by the bandits, why did you ask them to report the amount of loss, and then make up for it, so that they are not afraid that those robbed banknotes will cause counterfeit money in the future?"
Lu Ning smiled and replied.
"Your Highness, these bandits have done this case, but I am afraid that they have long disappeared now, even if you go to the location of the crime, you may not be able to find it, if you want to recover those papers, you can only wait for them to appear fake."
"So what can we do?"
Lu Ning attached himself to Zhu Biao's ear and whispered something.
Zhu Biao's eyes widened: "It turns out that you already have a coping plan?" ”
Lu Ning nodded and said.
"Now it is not simply a matter of losing the coinage paper, but the main thing is to dig out our internal spies, only by digging out the spies, never suffer in the future, the next step of the implementation of paper money work will be smoother."
Zhu Biao nodded and said.
"Zi'an, this plan is allowed by my brother, Xiongying, hurry up and do what your master instructs."
The whole piece of coinage paper was cut in the banknote printing factory, and then sent to the special printing house of the Daming Academy of Sciences for printing and anti-counterfeiting.
After all these tools were completed, Zhu Biao and Lu Ning jointly signed the issuance order.
The newly issued banknotes were more beautiful and durable, and soon all the old money was exchanged for destruction.
Seeing that all the old coins were replaced with new coins, the two people in the secret place, Bear and Fox, were counting the counterfeit banknotes made in the secret warehouse.
"Haha, it turns out that the code compiled by Liu Xingwu is so simple, but if there is no translation of him, even if we want to break our heads, we can't think of it, with this secret word, our counterfeit banknotes are more like real money."
The fox asked, still a little worried.
"Has His Majesty's icon been rubbed out?"
Bear said with a reassuring look.
"You can rest assured, it is exactly the same as the portrait of real money, even more realistic and exquisite than his, as long as our banknote printing paper is enough, ours is real, one day in the future, the people only recognize us, and do not recognize the court, in that way, the credit of the Ming treasure banknote will plummet, and then the two of us will play another book to restore the circulation of silver and copper coins."
The fox laughed and said.
"That's right, as long as the kid surnamed Lu is unlucky, and even beheads all over the house, I'm willing to pay any price."
The bear suddenly felt a little sad and said.
"I heard that Liu Jing, the son of Mr. Liu Xingwu, is also a generation of poets, but it's a pity that he fell like this."
The fox patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"Trading with real money is our ultimate goal, dedicating ourselves to this great ideal, Liu Dacai can finally smile at Jiuquan, when the time comes, we must burn a lot of paper tickets for him, so that he can be fed and clothed in the underworld, and he is worthy of him."
On this day, Zhu Xiongying led the Jinyi Guard and brought several businessmen with fat brains to the prince.
"Father, this person has been caught using counterfeit money!"
The businessman shouted directly.
"But just now, the inspector of the Confucius Temple Business Office of Daming Bank checked it and said that it was all real money, why did you say it was fake?"
Zhu Xiongying took out the real money of a Daming treasure banknote and said.
"You touch it, the text and images on our one are three-dimensional, and yours is just printed directly with ordinary ink, isn't this fake?"
The merchant listened to the beads of sweat and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The prince asked him where he came from, and he confessed that it was given by an underground money bank called Sitong Bank.
Zhu Biao immediately asked people to seize Sitong Bank, although he confiscated banknotes with a denomination of 50,000 yuan, but compared with the number of coinage papers he sent out, it was still not right.
