Jurong County.

This place is not far from Nanjing, with convenient transportation and next to Zhenjiang.

In a big village.

Around the village, bamboo is planted, and a high wall has been built to enclose the whole village, only the lonely chimney in the village, billowing smoke.

The patrolling power-suited family is holding a sword, brazenly cruising back and forth, and also holding a mastiff, which is terrifying.

Shen Guogong Deng Zhen carried his hands and walked in Dazhai.

In the middle of Dazhai, it is a busy scene, many people are pouring copper water, silver water, and minting counterfeit coins.

Around Dazhai, there are soldiers guarding Dazhai, who are the armor soldiers of the Shenguo Mansion, and they are no different from the most elite guards in the Ming Dynasty......

Even the latest flintlock pistol, Hongwu style.

At this moment, there are also several teams of soldiers guarding this cottage are equipped, they are wearing the latest Ming cotton armor, carrying Hongwu style, and in some hidden corners of the cottage, there are two tiger squat cannons.

These nobles of the Ming Dynasty, after two years of development, have become stronger and stronger.

They had soldiers, they had power, and they began to have money......

It's a terrible thing.

Because they are close to the policy center, they know that any policy comes out first, so they have become a powerful force that cannot be ignored, an oligarchy.

In Nanjing, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong fought with them alone, and he was already a little overwhelmed.

The main reason is that civilian officials can't fight the nobles who have soldiers.

Civil officials can supervise, but they don't dare to offend the nobles too much.

And Li Shanchang is the head of the civil official, but his ass is on the side of the Ming Xungui.

Deng Zhen smiled, looked at these copper and silver coins, laughed, he walked to the front, reached out and picked up a minted Daming silver coin, put the silver coin to his ear and blew it.

Unfortunately, because of the lack of silver, the coin did not make a sound.

"Why can't this money blow sound?"

Yang Mantou, the silversmith in charge of this place, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Guogong, the casting formula of this Ming silver coin is top secret, and we have not yet concocted the formula. ”

Shen Guogong Deng Zhen snorted coldly, his rough face showed a trace of coldness, and he threw down the silver coin, and said, "Since this silver coin can't be made ten percent true, what about the treasure money?" ”

Yang Mantou was happy.

"Hey, this, Guogong, take a step to speak."

He looked at Deng Zhen with a sinister eyebrow.

Deng Zhen sneered in his heart, and the silversmith Yang Mantou to the side, Yang Mantou looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "Guogong, let's find a few masters who have retired from the Baoqing Bureau, and in the early years, they made money molds for Dayuan, which are money molds infused with tin and lead, according to what the master said, he not only knows how Dayuan's treasure money mold is made, but also knows the mulberry paper formula of Dayuan Baobao, if he is invited, we will be able to make this Daming treasure banknote." ”

"Oh?"

Deng Zhen was surprised and delighted.

The treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, the printing technology was inherited from the Great Yuan.

During the Yuan Dynasty, after several currency reforms, there was a great breakthrough in the material and anti-counterfeiting technology of the treasure banknote, such as the material of the treasure banknote, which used mulberry paper, which was not easy to be soaked in water, and was resistant to folding and release, not afraid of moisture.

The ink and the diagram have all changed, especially the diagram printed on the treasure banknote, and there are dark lines.

Nowadays, the technology of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote is more advanced than the treasure banknote of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also added a number to each treasure banknote, once the number is found to be different from the treasure banknote, it is understood that this is a fake banknote, uprooted.

On the treasure banknote, in addition to printing the famous places in the Ming Dynasty, there is also a warning not to forge, the forger is beheaded, and the whistleblower can get 500 silver dollars, equivalent to 250 taels of silver, and can also get all the property of the forger.

Even so, counterfeiting is still prohibited.

Among them, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places.

To exaggerate, Deng Zhen and his workers who forged counterfeit money were workers from the Baoquan Bureau of the Daming Baoqing Bureau, and their methods were almost the same, but there were slight differences in materials.

A few years ago, because Daming did not have the Daming Royal Bank, the denomination of the treasure banknote was large, and if it was forged, it was easy to be detected.

Therefore, most of Deng Zhen and others still forged copper coins.

In recent years, as the Daming Royal Bank is getting bigger and bigger, they are no longer satisfied with counterfeiting copper coins and silver coins, but focus on counterfeiting Daming treasure banknotes, after all, Daming treasure banknotes are more valuable, a ten yuan face value of Daming treasure banknotes, equivalent to about five taels of silver, which is worth their risk.

And now that the economy is booming, the amount of treasure money is large, and counterfeit banknotes are easier to get away.

In that year, after the Ming Dynasty inherited Yuan Zuo and drove the Northern Yuan away, many craftsmen who had previously served the Dayuan royal family were left to weave and were co-opted, and there were also many hidden residents who did not want to come out.

This silversmith Yang Mantou found a few old craftsmen who had made treasure money for Dayuan before, and came here to ask for credit. "I'll give you a team of soldiers, and you go and invite this old craftsman at once, and the whole family will come."

Deng Zhen said excitedly.

Yang Mantou nodded, grinning and his eyes flickered, and he smiled: "That adult, I'm a ......"

"Hahahaha, I'll reward you with 500 hectares of land!"

"Ah, thank you, thank you!"

Deng Zhen sneered, triumphant, the imperial court's stupid donkey timber, they printed the counterfeit money and took it to Henan and Shaanxi for application, and they deceived many Jinyi Wei spies, Cao Guogong, it's really old......

……

Inside the Imperial City.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the chair and was reciting a book.

Several Confucian ministers were around, explaining the Confucian scriptures to Zhu Yunwen, explaining the essentials of governing the country by the way, and even including some military affairs, and the techniques of gathering the power of the ministers.

In the distance, the crown princess Lu Shi watched this scene with satisfaction.

Since the crown prince Zhu Biao brought the crown princess Lu into the palace, all the old people in the palace have been dismissed, and the Lu family has been much more low-key and calm.

She smiled heartily and turned away.

After the Lu family left, Zhu Yunwen turned his head sideways to look at her back, then turned his head to look at the few Confucian ministers in front of him, and asked, "When Lu Wenhuan surrendered, was it really because Liu Cheng surrendered first?" ”

The Confucian minister didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun." ”

"Lu Wenhuan has been guarding Xiangyang alone for decades, and has done his duty for the Great Song Dynasty, but Liu Cheng surrendered first, and betrayed the layout of Xiangyang City, exposing the heart of Xiangyang, Kublai Khan took Liu Quan's strategy to attack Xiangyang with water, if the city is broken, the Mongols will definitely slaughter the city, and the people of Xiangyang have rejected the Mongol army alone for decades, how can the Mongols let it go?"

"Therefore, Lu Wenhuan led the army to surrender."

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City survived thanks to Duke Lu Wenhuan."

Zhu Yunwen nodded lightly, his face expressionless.

Now, Zhu Yunwen, who is two years older, not only began to study Confucianism and Confucianism, but also began to think about the origin of his family.

So, he carefully studied the experience of his mother, Lu Wenhuan, the ancestor of the Lu family.

Hearing this moment, Zhu Yunwen said again: "Sir, go on." ”

The Confucian minister continued to talk about the essence of the Confucian scriptures, but Zhu Yunwen secretly took out a piece of paper below, which was the four words left to Zhu Yunwen before Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, went to Chengdu to take up the domain.

"Loyalty and filial piety for the vassal"

Zhu Yunwen chuckled, worried about Zhu Xiongying's whereabouts in his mind, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Yun Wei will never let you down in the future, if I am in trouble, Yun Wei will definitely not fall!" ”
