The ministers retreated, and Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

I told you a long time ago, but you don't believe it, but now you know that you are in a hurry?

Luckily, I was prepared early, otherwise, there would have been chaos!

He looked at Wynne and asked, "How's it going?" ”

Huai En lowered his head and said softly: "Back to the emperor, Commander Yuan has already laid a net in the Gyeonggi area, and that person can't escape." ”

"I'm not worried about that!"

"The emperor said...... Oh! Huaien reacted and hurriedly said, "Dongchang and Jinyiwei are doing their best to investigate, and the owner of the money village did not have enough time to prepare before fleeing, so that a lot of clues were exposed, and I think there will be results soon." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly, and said: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all dispatched, and the Beijing camp can be mobilized if necessary, this time, that slut must be found out!" ”

"Yes, the slave will do her best!"

When Zhu Qizhen received the ministers, he deliberately concealed a piece of news.

Longsheng Money Village is by no means as simple as a scam, there must be some force behind it.

Otherwise, how could his business be so big?

It must have been an organized, premeditated operation.

When Zhu Qizhen realized this, a person immediately appeared in his mind.

A woman!

White Lotus Sect, Song Gu Xi.

She is the only one who has such scheming and resourcefulness.

At the beginning, the Caijiagou incident was a means for the White Lotus Sect to accumulate wealth, which almost caused turmoil in the stock market, and now the Longsheng Money Village is ten times even worse, and it is almost digging the foundation of the New Deal!

Let go of the shopkeeper of the money bank, just to find this woman.

This time, she must be caught, otherwise, I don't know what kind of demon she will do in the future!

-----------------

Tianjin Wei, Hengyuan pawnshop.

Nowadays, pawnshops are engaged in a wide range of transactions, in addition to ordinary pawn redemptions, they are also responsible for exchanging treasure money.

Speaking of this treasure banknote, almost no one used it, and Zhu Qizhen used the silver reserves of the treasury to pull it up.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of the treasure banknote lifting division, as the issuance and production of paper money, after some preparations, the second year of the edict in the province to make the Ming treasure banknote, ordered the people to pass.

Daming treasure banknote to mulberry as the material, one foot high, six inches wide, quality cyan, outside the dragon text flower column, written on the Ming pass treasure banknote, there are eight seal characters on both sides, Ming treasure banknote, the world passes, the middle is painted is a few strings of copper coins.

Although there are bells and whistles, and anti-counterfeiting is also set up, Lao Zhu ignored a very important question, no matter how gorgeous this thing is, it is just a piece of paper, why can it be used as money?

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, or the emperors of later generations, due to the lack of basic financial and economic knowledge, they do not have the corresponding reserves at the same time as issuing the Ming treasure banknotes, so the value of the treasure banknotes continues to fall.

During the Yongle period, in order to pay for the huge financial expenditure, Zhu Di simply waved his hand and printed money!

There is only one consequence of the imperial court's large-scale printing of money, that is, the currency is depreciated, so that the treasure money is overflowing, because the price is expensive, and the money law is not good.

Not only that, the imperial court also formulated the banknote inversion law, that is, when the people exchanged the old banknotes for the new banknotes, they also had to pay a certain amount of cost, which led to a large accumulation of old banknotes and accelerated depreciation.

In the beginning, the consistent treasure banknote was equivalent to the consistent copper coin, and in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, the consistent treasure banknote could only be converted into 250 copper coins, and four years later it was only 150 wen.

In the twentieth year of Yongle, the imperial court even issued a decree to enforce the treasure money, and those who refused to use the treasure money were punished, and even the whole family was confiscated.

Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, anything in this world can be solved with just a holy decree.

I stipulate that you must use treasure money, and you must use it.

Otherwise, it will be a rebellion against the decree and punish your nine clans!

I said that this piece of paper represents consistent money, and it is consistent money.

If you don't admit it, you still resist the decree and punish your ten clans!

Who knows, the market economy has its own set of laws, and it is by no means something that can be controlled by man.

To the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, the depreciation of the Ming treasure banknote is more serious, and each banknote is consistent, and the copper money is two cents.

In other words, it is almost the same as the price of selling waste paper.

Therefore, even if the imperial court repeatedly ordered that it must be settled with treasure money, the people still only recognize silver.

Zhu Qizhen noticed this problem very early, but he was suffering from the fact that the silver in the treasury was not enough and could only be improved gradually.

In the past three years, with more and more silver deposits in the treasury, the Ming treasure banknote finally realized the silver standard, and today, anyone with the treasure money can go to the bank to exchange the full amount of silver.

However, not many people actually came to exchange money.

Because the current Daming treasure banknotes have excellent credit, and they are also very convenient to carry and trade.

Just imagine, it is very inconvenient to hire a few people to do business, carrying two large frames of silver ingots, silver ingots, and even a large number of copper coins to trade!

Therefore, with the implementation of the New Deal, treasure banknotes have been widely recognized, and it is becoming more and more rare to come to the money bank to withdraw silver.

In contrast, the procedures of a pawnshop are more simplified than that of a money bank, and anyone can change it if they only recognize money and not people, and the price is to take 10% of it as a handling fee.

Therefore, most of the treasure money sent here is of unknown origin.

Otherwise, it's good for people to go directly to the money bank to redeem it, why bother to come here and let the other party earn a commission for nothing.

On this day, some people came with 50,000 taels of treasure money to exchange cash.

According to the rules of the pawnshop, 50,000 taels of treasure banknotes will be charged 5,000 taels of handling fees, which is a big business.

The pawnshop guy didn't dare to call the shots, and immediately went to the backyard to inform the shopkeeper.

Not long after, when the shopkeeper came out, he first greeted the guests, negotiated a few words, and inadvertently glanced at the treasure money from the corner of his eye, was slightly stunned, and then said quietly: "Such a large amount of silver taels, it will take some time to count, please wait for a while." ”

"How long do you have to wait?"

"It won't be long before you drink tea first, and it's almost time to finish the tea!"

The man looked anxious, but he nodded and followed the shopkeeper to the backyard to rest.

However, before the freshly brewed tea could be drunk, a group of brocade guards rushed in.

At the same time, a meaningful smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and he said: "Don't blame the guest officer, there is something wrong with your treasure money, although the contemptible person is a businessman, but some business is not daring to do!" ”

-----------------

Cangzhou Mansion, Rongchang Qianzhuang.

A man dressed as a merchant walked up to the counter and came to redeem it with a large sum of silver tickets.

The guy behind the counter took the silver ticket, only glanced at it, and found that it was the Daming treasure banknote circulating throughout the country, so he took out the account book and prepared to register.

This young man was clever, and he had been notified in advance, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he glanced at the guard not far away, and said politely: "May I ask what the guest officer is called?" ”

The man seemed impatient, and said, "It's just some silver, where did all this come from?" ”

The young man smiled all over his face and said, "The rules of the money bank, both of which need to be registered, please forgive me!" ”

The man was helpless, so he had to say: "Liu Hengzhi, the perseverance of perseverance, the ambition of ambition." ”

"It turned out to be Master Liu, there is a seat inside, please!"

A moment later, Liu Hengzhi was invited to the back of the money village.

But before he could sit down, five or six strong men surrounded him.

Liu Hengzhi suddenly lost his mind and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Still smiling, the young man asked, "I would venture to ask, where did these treasures come from?" ”

Liu Hengzhi frowned and said: "Naturally, it is obtained from business, when did you hear that Qian Zhuang exchanged silver taels, and you still have to inquire about the whereabouts?" ”

"Look at what you said, there really wasn't such a rule in the past, but ......"

The young man paused, and suddenly asked, "These treasure banknotes belong to Longsheng Qianzhuang, right?" ”

Liu Hengzhi's face changed suddenly, he couldn't hold back the panic in his heart anymore, and subconsciously got up and wanted to leave here.

However, someone had already surrounded him, and he could not get out.

"What are you going to do, I'm a serious businessman......"

Hula!

Noisy footsteps sounded outside, and I saw a team of officers and soldiers rushing to hear the news, and the leader was a hundred households, and after entering the door, he hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" ”

The young man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Huijun, according to your orders, we have already controlled the people." ”

"Good!"

The hundred households patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Looking back at the meritorious deeds, you have a share of the credit!" ”

"Xie Junye!"

Liu Hengzhi looked at these people, wearing animal pattern soap suits, and they turned out to be ...... Jinyiwei!

At this time, his legs were weak, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

The hundred households came forward, looked him up and down, and asked, "Tell me, where did you get the treasure money?" ”

"It's me, I'm ...... ...... income from business"

"Until now, don't you admit it?"

"I'm ...... Serious businessman, through the ...... of the cloth business"

Syllable!

A wad of treasure bills fell on his face.

"Keep your dog's eyes open and take a closer look, what is this?"

Liu Hengzhi was a little confused, so he had to say, "Yes...... Daming Treasure Banknote ......"

"See this?"

The hundred households picked up a treasure banknote, pointed to one of the corners, and said: "This is the treasure money of the inner money, all of them have been secretly marked, not long ago into the Longsheng money village, it is this batch of treasure money, at this time, do you still not recognize it?" ”

Liu Hengzhi had been pressed to the ground, and he clearly saw that there was an inconspicuous mark on the corner of the treasure banknote.

At this time, he was even more frightened, and he didn't know what to do.

The hundred households stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and said viciously: "Now say the mastermind behind the scenes, you can count as having meritorious performance, otherwise, you will be preempted by others, and you will have no chance to say it if you want to!" ”

-----------------

In a house in Tongzhou, Xu Lang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

This person is the big proprietor of Longsheng Qianzhuang, and the silver accumulated in the house has been piled up, and it stands to reason that even if he flees now, this silver will not be spent in several lifetimes.

However, the income of 10 million taels of silver is like a tempting piece of fat, and if you don't take it out, you will really not be able to sleep well.

With such a huge amount, it will take a certain amount of time to withdraw it all.

What's more, if you don't do it yourself, the White Lotus Sect will inevitably pocket this huge amount of money, and when the time comes, the matter will still be exposed, and you will still have to flee, but the silver will fall into the hands of others, isn't it embarrassing?

Therefore, before escaping, this silver must be withdrawn to be relieved!

As time passed, Xu Lang felt more and more uneasy in his heart, because none of the people sent out to redeem the silver had returned.

This time it happened suddenly, he wasn't even prepared, of course, he concluded that the imperial court and the White Lotus Sect were not prepared either, and only by surprise could he seek survival in the gap between the imperial court and the White Lotus Sect.

The housekeeper brought hot tea over, but Xu Lang was not in the mood to drink tea, and asked, "Is there no news yet?" ”

"Not yet, but I think it will take some time for such a large amount of withdrawal."

"I think something is wrong!"

Xu Lang was thoughtful, and he didn't know if he was too sensitive.

"When I first deposited the money, I felt that there was a problem, but there was no way back. If this ten million taels of silver is true, then with this large sum of silver, plus the previous savings, it is worth it anyway. ”

"The lord is worried, this silver ...... Fraud? ”

Xu Lang nodded slowly and said, "If this silver is just a trick to get away with it, it means that someone has seen through our strategy and can use such a huge amount of money to lure people...... Heh, do you still need to think about the identity of this person? ”

The butler's face also became nervous, and he asked, "You mean ......?"

Xu Lang sighed, showing a painful expression: "Our current situation is that it is difficult to ride a tiger, that person did not use officers and soldiers to seize the money bank, but forced us to show our original form, he must not want to cause turmoil, otherwise, think about those who invested in silver, they can do everything." ”

Actually, he had already guessed it.

In the capital, who can make a move of 10 million taels?

However, in the face of such a huge temptation, I am unwilling!

What's more, even if you don't eat this money, you will be guilty of death.

Xu Lang couldn't help sighing, his two eyebrows twisted into a rope, but at this moment, he heard a clangling sound outside, and it seemed that the door had been kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps sounded, and some people shouted: "Go to the back, don't let them run!" ”

Xu Lang was shocked and immediately rushed into the inner room, preparing to escape through the dark passage.

The cunning rabbit has three holes, and he has already left himself more than one way back.

But it was too late!

The other party came too fast, and before he could get into the tunnel, he was held down.

At this moment, his face was like ashes, and the greed in his heart disappeared at this moment......

-----------------

Jinyiwei went out everywhere, and Yuan Bin took all the main forces and rushed to Huangzhuang, the No. 4 factory outside Chaoyangmen.

This was the Zhuangzi who took the lead in making reforms after the emperor promulgated the new policy.

Nowadays, it has developed very prosperously, all kinds of workshops are lined up, wine shops, inns, and bazaars are very lively, and even some people have built a theater with money.

Yuan Bin looked up at the theater archway in front of him, and stretched out his hand: "Seal all the exits, not a single fly can fly out!" ”
