The hidden undercurrent behind this matter is definitely not simple.

At this time, Song Yingxing said: "Donkey, this silver ingot has been produced for less than three days, and the frosting marks on it are still very obvious, but as long as this inferior silver has begun to circulate among the people, it will be relatively easy to trace back to the source." ”

Zhou Xian's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he said to Xu Rongbing seriously: "Xu Aiqing, can you see that this matter is critical, if it is postponed, I am afraid that my Daming will be hollowed out by black-hearted capitalists." ”

"You must speed up the production of anti-counterfeiting logos and apply them uniformly to the new silver."

"Chitose rest assured, the lower officials will do their best."

Zhou Guangkai said: "Chitose, are those inferior silver on the market now collected and destroyed?" After all, if it is left to circulate, the loss in one day is too great. ”

"Don't be sad about losing three or five days, after all, this thing has been around for a long time, and it's just been known about it."

"What does Chitose mean?"

"Go with the flow, behave as usual to the outside world, and let those gangs that make inferior silver think that we don't know, so that we can relax their guard, and I will send the Zhenfu Division to go deep into the people to carefully investigate the rest."

"Chitose Wise."

"Okay, go down, and be sure to take care of what you have at hand."

After the three of them exited the Horse Mansion, Zhou Xian said to Hou Lianhui, who was waiting next to him: "Pass it on to enter the mountain." ”

Zhou Xian's tone contained a cold killing intent.

This matter is already clear.

There will inevitably be another group of beheaded officials.

In fact, Song Yingxing didn't have any problems with mentioning it just now.

Inferior silver circulates among the people, and it must be full of loopholes.

It is not difficult to trace the source by tracing back to the source.

What is rare is that after Zhou Xian collects and disposes of the silver, how to deal with the vacancy in the market?

Especially before Xu Rongbing's new anti-counterfeiting logo was made.

Then the circulation of goods among the people will have to be delayed for a while.

The key is how long has bad silver been on the market?

Zhou Xian's brows tightened, and he speculated boldly.

If it has been a long time, then Daming is facing a currency crisis.

First of all, the silver in the silver vaults in various places should also be checked.

But not now.

If you act rashly now, you can only startle the snake.

If the bad silver has been circulating in the market for a short time, it is easy to say.

After all, Daming has been eaten away by corrupt officials for many years.

It doesn't hurt to lose a small half a year suddenly.

After all, the name of the famous man who was covered in bruises, and with a new injury, Zhou Xian could accept it.

Soon, Yu Jinshan came in.

After he worshipped Zhou Xian, he stood in the hall and waited for Zhou Xian to give him an order.

Zhou Xian explained the matter with Yu Jinshan 1510.

Then he sent Jinyiwei to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Follow the progress of Yu into the mountain.

On the day he received the order from the master of the horse, he recovered more than 3,000 taels of inferior silver from the people.

The next day, another 20,000 taels of inferior silver were recovered.

The price paid was that Zhou Xian paid out of his own pocket and appeased the people and merchants who had inferior silver in their hands with the equivalent pure silver.

At this moment, Zhou Xian's mood is the same as that of a man who has just entered the palace and has been castrated.

It's too TM's egg to hurt.

The money in his small treasury was all earned from the official entertainment hall.

Now take the real money and go to exchange it for fake money.

It's hard to accept this even if you think about it.

But he accepted it.

He loves Daming, and he wants to revitalize Daming.

In the three days before and after, Zhou Xian exchanged a total of 60,000 taels of silver.

In his vault, the same amount of inferior silver was piled up.

In three days, Yu Jinshan has already followed the map, and he is getting closer and closer to the truth.

Because during the recovery of 60,000 taels of inferior silver, he also arrested more than 400 businessmen involved who used a large amount of inferior silver.

The source of this thing can be found after all.

As more and more clues came out of Yu Jinshan's trial, he got closer and closer to the silver-making gang.

Today is the fourth day.

As soon as Zhou Xian opened his eyes, he received more than a dozen silver boxes brought in by Yu Jinshan.

No need to ask, it must be another fake silver sent.

According to the management, Zhou seems to have dripping blood in exchange for full silver.

Just when Zhou Xian was about to summon Yu Jinshan to inquire about the progress of the case.

Hou Lianhui looked flustered and ran in from the direction of the palace gate with a side newspaper of the imperial flag in his hand.

"Chitose, Chitose ......"

Because of the anxiety of running, Hou Lianhui came to the high threshold of the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace and fell.

Even so, he reluctantly protected the imperial flag and stumbled in.

Zhou Xian's face sank.

That's not good.

Because what Hou Lianhui is holding in his hand at the moment is an eight-hundred-mile rush at the border gate, and it is an urgent report of day and night with the imperial flag tied.

Sure enough, without waiting for Zhou Xian to ask.

Hou Lianhui said breathlessly: "Hong Shuai's urgent report, Huang Taiji waved 100,000 troops and advanced to Shanhaiguan!" ”

Hearing this news, Zhou Xian's first reaction was impossible!

Daming and Jiannu have fought twice around Liaodong.

The first time was Xiong Tingbi, who was stationed in Liaodong during the Wanli Emperor, against Jiannu.

The second time was when Wang Huazhen attacked Guangning, but was betrayed by traitors and committed suicide in defeat.

In the end, he was beheaded and passed on the tragic end of the nine sides.

The third time was Yuan Chonghuan's defense against Jiannu.

It's a pity that whether it is Wang Huazhen or Yuan Chonghuan, they were all beheaded by Emperor Chongzhen.

In the past two years, Jiannu did not dare to venture out because he was afraid of the joint efforts of the Ming Dynasty.

To a certain extent, it has also narrowed the oppression of the Ming frontier.

Only one Shanhaiguan passage remains.

Most of the rest is separated from the Great Wall on the first line of Beijing.

This time, Jiannu swept in again, more than two years later.

Why?

If there was to be a war, Huang Taiji did not take advantage of it to settle the people on the border.

Unless he already has the certainty of winning this battle.

Otherwise, once lost or the war is deadlocked.

The relocation and retreat of the people became a big problem.

Either abandon the people, or retreat with the people, thus greatly slowing down the pace of the march.

After Zhou Xian read the military report, he also understood the process of intelligence transmission.

Now it seems that the changes in the three eastern provinces provided by Yue Ling to Huang Taiji were not groundless.

Now it is Hong Chengchou who guards Liaodong.

Last time, Zhou Xian sent the old general over to suppress those arrogant soldiers.

The main thing is to stabilize the morale of the military.

After all, two years ago, Emperor Chongzhen, his small old man, executed Inspector Yuan.

If you want to keep the morale of the army there, you must have a cabinet commander like Hong Chengchou to go to the top.

But really fight, let Hong Chengchou fight against Huang Taiji?

It's no problem to barely hold on for a few months, and you can only look forward to Huang Taiji's withdrawal.

Jiannu's 100,000 army will come as soon as it is said.

The news came from the Qianqing Palace and soon spread throughout the temples of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Xian can still sit still.

But the Donglin Party in Beijing couldn't sit still.
