Chapter 503: Check! Thorough investigation!
Zhu Gaojiao had just ascended the throne and had not yet had time to issue new copper coins, and the Yongle Tongbao issued during the Yongle period were all minted by the government, and their raw materials and processes were strictly controlled, which were exactly the same, and this deviation could not occur.
"You mean to say that someone is copying Yongle Tongbao?"
Su Wu nodded:
"That's right, Wei Chen is thinking, these people must have been planning for a long time, and now that the new emperor has died and the new emperor has ascended the throne, it will be three years in short terms, and five years in the longest, Your Majesty will print new coins!"
"Hmph, I originally wanted to come to Pingshou County to inspect the people's situation, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"
Zhu Gaoyao also put away his playful mentality, this kind of privately cast Yongle Tongbao, except for a slight difference in color and weight, and the edges are not so rounded, the rest is almost identical.
If it is placed in the light and sunlight, it is impossible to even tell the difference between the color of these two currencies!
"Su Wu, pass on my handwritten letter, let Sichuan Chengxuan Political Division, give me a thorough investigation of this matter in the territory, and inform Yang Shiqi to send Jinyiwei to Pingshou County to assist Sichuan Chengxuan Political Secretary to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
"I want to find out the den of this group of counterfeit coins in the shortest possible time!"
"Weichen Command!"
It is a great sin for the people, even local officials, to build and use a coinage furnace without permission!
"In addition, let Cheng Xuan Xuan get an identity for me and you, and I will personally supervise this matter!"
Zhu Gaoyao wants to see who is so bold as to dare to mint counterfeit money privately!
"Your Majesty, to investigate the case of counterfeit money, why do you need Your Majesty to personally supervise it, the top priority is to return to the capital, and Your Majesty will preside over the overall situation!"
"No, I won't delay too much time here, or according to the original plan, three days, only three days, I can find out the person behind this!"
Three days?
Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty and Bao Gong of the Song Dynasty can't solve the case so quickly!
Where does Your Majesty get your confidence?
Even Su Wu did not guarantee that he would be able to catch any clues in a short period of time.
After all, there are still too few fake copper coins on the market now, and it is impossible to trace the clues of their origin, and it is impossible to lock down the people behind the scenes through the flow of raw materials they need.
Halfway through, Su Wu wrote several urgent letters, which were quickly sent out.
And Zhu Gaojiao and Su Wu turned the head of the carriage and went straight to the county government of Pingshou County.
"Master, master, those people are coming towards our county office!"
Just this morning, when Zhu Gaoyi and Su Wu were wandering around the market, Zhang Qixin was already in the distance, sending a few people to report their whereabouts, and every half an hour, someone would come to report.
They're coming?
"Where are they now?"
"It's almost at the gate of the county government now!"
Zhang Qixin nodded, looking strategic.
"Sure enough, everything was as I expected!"
At this time, Zhang Qixin was not only surrounded by the innkeeper who visited last night, but also two other middle-aged people in luxurious clothes.
"Haha, Lord Zhang is like a god, just by inferring a little, he can expect their identity and origin!"
In the courtyard, many people began to compliment, and many of them were even from other counties.
"Thanks to your love and support, I'm just a little clever!"
Hearing other people's compliments, Zhang Qixin was very useful,
"Now, the Yongle Tongbao we have cast has been able to hide from most people's eyes!"
"And this time, as long as we can successfully pull the envoy into the group, before the new coin is minted, everyone here will have a fortune!"
"When the time comes, our Pingshou County will be rich and rival the country, and it will not be a dream!"
If I can successfully buy the notice house, or even the third division, what is this little money to me Zhang Qixin?
When the time comes, I, Zhang Qixin, will definitely be a big member of the future party!
"Boss Nie, Boss Jia, the official is about to meet someone for a while, and he has arranged some entertainment activities for the two bosses!"
"Xiaolan, go, take a few masters out to do some activities, this time the consumption is on me!"
"Yes!"
After Zhang Qixin left, Boss Nie and Boss Jia looked at each other and smiled, both of them were old fritters in officialdom shopping malls, crawling and rolling for half their lives, they were the kind of people who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
And their shops and caravans all over Sichuan and Tibet are already rich and flowing, and their relationship network is directly related to the Cheng Xuan Political Division, how can they look at a small Pingshou County magistrate?
The innkeeper who was sitting on the side was holding a handkerchief and wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead from time to time, about the names of Boss Nie and Boss Jia, he was like thunder.
Originally, the innkeeper thought that Zhang Daren from Pingshou County had something to do with it, and if he minted counterfeit money, he would wear it with a rope, and then he would be able to soar.
But who would have thought that the biggest supporters behind this Lord Zhang turned out to be these two old guys with vicious methods!
Back then, because of contradictions and disputes, there were not a few innocent civilians who died in their hands, and I even heard that they also killed the prefect of a nearby state!
You Zhang Qixin don't weigh yourself, can you, a newcomer county magistrate, compare with the old prefect who has been working here for more than ten years?
Everyone has been killed by these two guys, and you're still here to fight with the tiger, and you think you're going to have a long life, right?
If I had known that this was the case, the innkeeper would not have died.
Now he can only pray that these two old fellows don't have any bad intentions, otherwise he will only be used as a scapegoat.
"Blue shopkeeper, it's better to see it early than to hear it, I heard that only the IKEA inn business in Pingshou County has been done in several surrounding counties!"
"And the boss behind them is a legend!"
"I was fortunate to see you in Lord Zhang's mansion today, and it was really a heroic twilight!"
Boss Nie and Boss Jia met the innkeeper and had a burst of commercial touting.
And the blue shopkeeper was extremely embarrassed, at this moment his heart was about to hang in his throat, and the movement of the handkerchief to wipe the sweat was more frequent.
"Where is it, where is it, the villain is just opportunistic, how can he be compared with the two big bosses."
"The two bosses have a big family, even if it is a piece of meat foam that comes out of the teeth, it is enough for the villain to eat for decades!"
"Why should the blue shopkeeper be presumptuous, as long as he takes this fast boat, his family will have a lot of money, but he can't get it easily?"
Still at your fingertips? As long as you two can spare my old bones, one life!
"Shopkeeper Lan, let's take a look at what kind of happy scene Master Zhang has prepared for us?" (End of chapter)
