In the next two days, Ruan Jingtian and Li Butterfly came to the east and north of the station to inspect the topography of the area. Yao Meng, Wang Xiangpeng, and other soldiers with rich combat experience of the self-reliant regiment participated in the defense discussion, and after repeated discussions with everyone, Ruan Jingtian finally demarcated an area of about four square kilometers in the east and north, of which about three square kilometers were planted and about one square kilometer was commercially and residential.

Nguyen Ching Thien named the area the Zili Business Zone, and he proposed a master plan, employing Gao Van Hao as the district head and Leng Ruosong as the deputy head of the district, and ordering Zhuo Fengguo, who had followed Ruan Jingtian to snatch the Hu family's PETN explosives (see Chapters 66-67). Ruan Jingtian saw that he was decisive and thoughtful, so Ruan Jingtian specially transferred him from the self-reliance group and was jointly responsible for the preparation of the self-reliance business zone with Gao Wenhao and Leng Ruosong.

In addition, Nguyen Jing Tien established the Monetary and Gold Authority, which was responsible for the issuance and exchange of currency in the Self-Reliance Trade Zone. He discussed with Gao Wenhao and Leng Ruosong, and decided to issue Zili Yuan as the currency in circulation when the Zili Trade Zone was officially opened, and those who entered the Zili Trade Zone used gold to exchange Huàn Zili Yuan. The director of the Monetary and Gold Administration is Ruan Jingtian, and the deputy director is Li Butterfly.

During the preparatory period for the establishment of the Zili Business Zone, Ruan Jingtian provided construction funds, and Gao Wenhao and Leng Ruosong were jointly responsible for the construction of roads and shops; Ruan Jingtian was responsible for the design, printing, and gold condition identification and measurement of Zili Yuan; Li Butterfly was responsible for the supervision work; and Zhuo Fengguo was responsible for public security work.

After a series of resolutions were promulgated, Ruan Jingtian handed Gao Wenhao a cashier's check of 3 billion Zheyuan, and asked him to buy Zheguo's domestic goods as much as possible for the initial construction, because the quality of Zheguo's goods was very high, far exceeding the quality of the goods made in Thorn Guo, Ruan Jingtian hoped to exchange the Zheyuan in his hand for high-quality goods of equivalent value.

He planned to convert the Zheyuan in his hand into gold as much as possible, because he knew that if the independent trade zone was successful, then gold would definitely be in short supply. Its price will rise, while Zheyuan will depreciate. In fact, he didn't like Tetsu Yuan very much, but he had to use Tetsu Yuan against his will because he was dealing with the people of Tetsukoku all day long.

Just as Nguyen Ching Tien was trying to build a self-reliant trade zone, many things were happening in Quanshui City and Zheguo. The fierce shootout at the Haitian International Hotel and the attack and death of the colonel and brigade commander of the 823rd Division completely angered the military and political circles of Zheguo, and Ning Shoucheng soon found out from the bodies of the dead thugs that Qinglongmen had committed it. Because the Qinglongmen was protected by the Zheguo Navy Headquarters, the Zheguo army and navy fought with each other, and the final result was that an elder of the Qinglongmen came out to top the tank.

Although the Manguo military was very dissatisfied with the results of Zheguo's handling, after Chakaton, Bertiva and others had previously framed Gong Xiaomu, the Manguo military did not dare to put pressure on the Zheguo military anymore. I had to put the matter to rest.

Ning Shoucheng was very dissatisfied with the public order situation in Quanshui City, and strictly investigated all kinds of violent terrorists, especially some ronin, warriors, and people of unknown origin from Zheguo were listed as key targets for investigation. For a time, the Zheguo people in Quanshui City were in a hurry, and many Zheguo people who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters fled from Quanshui City, among which Shao Xinglu and Shao Fanglei father and son hid in a rented house in Hongjia Town, not daring to move. Shao Xinglu guessed that Ning Shoucheng's strike hard was just a gust of wind, and after ten days and half a month, Quanshui City was still as mixed as before. He'll be back in Springs.

The Zheguo Council appointed a new deputy head of the army headquarters and a vice governor of the provincial government to Liuyun Province, and Ning Shoucheng convened a joint meeting of Liuyun Province to vote and approve a series of appointments, among which Gong Xiaomu's appointment of the executive deputy director of the Dongshan Chengshui Organ was impressively listed.

After three days at the Rabbit Ridge Self-Reliance Regiment station. Ruan Jingtian returned to the Dongshan City Military Police and finished his routine official duties, and when he was about to leave work in the afternoon, he received a call from Sun Maoyu, the secretary of the new head of the Dongshan City War Department. Let him go to the War Department to meet Sun Maoyu.

Since Sun Maoyu took office as the head of the army department in Dongshan City, Ruan Jingtian has only visited him once, and that is a routine visit by his subordinates to his new boss. It's an attitude of taking sides. He and Sun Maoyu have never known each other in their lives, they have no grievances in the past, and they have no enmity in the near future. But this does not mean that Ruan Jingtian and Sun Maoyu have a hot fight, so Ruan Jingtian cannot be called Sun Maoyu's descendant, but a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Receiving the call from Sun Maoyu's invitation, Ruan Jingtian felt a little surprised, he carefully thought about what had happened in recent days, and it seemed that he didn't have much to do with the gendarmerie, so he couldn't figure out what Sun Maoyu was looking for him.

Coming to Sun Maoyu's office, Sun Maoyu enthusiastically poured tea and water for Ruan Jingtian.

"Captain Gong, under your leadership, the work of the gendarmerie has been carried out impressively, and you have made great contributions. Sun Maoyu said praiseworthily.

"Minister Sun, the achievements of our gendarmerie have all been achieved under your wise leadership, and the subordinate officials dare not take credit. Ruan Jingtian said modestly.

"Captain Gong, don't be prevaricated and polite. I have been in Dongshan City for a short time, and I am still in the exploration stage of various tasks, I really hope to give you the burden, give you more space, and share my worries. A few days ago, I mentioned you to the relevant leaders of Liuyun Province and recommended you to a higher and more important post in the Ministry of the Army. However, unexpectedly, someone cut off your beard halfway and snatched you away. Hey, it is often said that gold will always shine, and yours will always be robbed of gold. This afternoon, the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters held a joint meeting, and you were appointed executive deputy director of the Dongshan Chengshui Organ. Hey, I'm not blessed, you are such a good young handsome person who was poached by the water machine. Sun Maoyu pretended to be very reluctant and said to Ruan Jingtian.

Ruan Jingtian hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you Minister Sun for your appreciation and cultivation of the lower officials, even if I arrive at my new post, I will remember that I was a soldier of Minister Sun, and I am proud to have worked under the leadership of Minister Sun!" Officialdom, what you say and listen to all day long is such empty talk, sycophancy, and even nonsense.

Sun Maoyu patted Ruan Jingtian on the shoulder, and said with a pleasant face: "Xiao Mujun, you are the best of the young generation, and your work ability is beyond doubt, I hope you will continue to maintain high work enthusiasm in your new job in the future." If you have difficulties at work, don't do it alone, and pay more attention to protecting your body. Don't forget that the War Department is your mother's home, you can come to me at any time, and I and the War Department will definitely help you within the scope of my ability. ”

Ruan Jingtian gradually heard a little way, it turned out that the focus of these words was "the War Department is your mother's family", since it is your mother's family, then when you encounter things related to the War Department in the future, Gong Xiaomu should be more biased towards her mother's family, and if it is the worst, you should also inform your mother's family in advance. Because Gong Xiaomu is the executive deputy director of the water agency, many subordinate departments of the War Department are under the supervision of Gong Xiaomu.

"The lower officials must keep in mind Minister Sun's earnest teachings, and never forget the kindness of Minister Sun and the War Department to the subordinate officials. Ruan Jingtian said loudly that he would not be stingy with such untruthful words and statements. As for what to do in the future, that's another matter.

"Well, Xiaomujun, I didn't misread you, just now the Liuyun Provincial Personnel Department called. Let you go to Quanshui City tomorrow to report to the head of the personnel department and accept a new appointment. ”

Leaving the War Department, Ruan Jingtian smiled bitterly in his heart. It has only been four days since I returned to Dongshan City from Quanshui City, and I will go to Quanshui City tomorrow, and it seems that when I go to the provincial capital in the future, it will be as common as a meal.

However, he is looking forward to this trip to Spring City. Because Higashiyama Castle did not have the equipment, paper, or ink to print money, only Izumizu Castle could have such a tightly regulated thing.

The paper used to print banknotes is watermark paper, which has physical and chemical properties such as wear resistance, folding resistance, acid resistance, and alkali resistance. And it is covered with watermark patterns and security threads for anti-counterfeiting;

Banknotes generally use hand-engraved and mechanically engraved intaglio patterns, so according to the content of the coin, the steel plate engraver and the mechanical engraving of the corresponding content of the steel plate, printed on the gravure machine for printing;

The ink used to print banknotes is highly confidential in various countries, with good durability and stability, difficult to imitate, generally fluorescent ink, magnetic ink and other types, Ruan Jingtian is interested in magnetic ink, this ink is added to a special magnetic material, so that it is printed on the banknote that it is magnetic, and it can be identified by the magnetic detector. He thought that the spirit stone has some special magnetic properties, if the spirit stone powder is added to the ink, can it achieve the purpose that is difficult to imitate?

On this trip to Quanshui City, Nguyen Jingtian planned to find these essential items needed to print banknotes.

In the evening, Ruan Jingtian came to the station of the Self-Reliance Group again, held a meeting, and arranged the work arrangements for the next few days, Li Butterfly temporarily took charge of the various matters related to the preparation of the Self-Reliance Group and the Self-Reliance Business Zone, and ordered Zhuo Fengguo to rush to Quanshui City with seven assistants early tomorrow morning, stay at the Quanshui Restaurant, and wait for Ruan Jingtian's arrival.

At noon the next day, Ruan Jingtian and Lao Huang entered Quanshui City and booked two rooms at Quanshui Restaurant. After lunch, Ruan Jingtian approached Zhuo Fengguo and the others with his true face, and ordered them to inquire around about the printing business and to find skilled workers in printing, with special attention to the information on the sale of the entire printing plant.

Ruan Jingtian returned to the room, redressed himself as Gong Xiaomu, called Ning Jingwen, and agreed to meet at a café near the Liuyun Daily building.

In the café, Ruan Jingtian sat opposite Ning Jingwen.

"Jingwen, do you know anyone who does printing business? I want to get to know some people who do anti-counterfeiting watermark paper and gravure printing. Ruan Jingtian asked, he knew that newspapers and periodicals generally had their own printing houses, and they might know people who were in the printing business.

"What are you going to do?" asked Ning Jingwen suspiciously.

Ruan Jingtian looked left and right and said in a low voice, "I want to print money." However, rest assured, I am not printing counterfeit money, but I am going to design, print and issue my own banknotes. He was worried that Ning Jingwen would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained more.

"Huh!?" Ning Jingwen was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close together, and after a while, she said, "Jingtian, what do you want to do?"

"Jingwen, it's hard to put it simply, I have a place where I want to issue banknotes, and the preparation for the construction of a banknote printing factory is a major matter, and I can only operate it myself. Ruan Jingtian said very briefly.

"Jingtian, are you going to build your own country? Have you occupied an unowned island?" Ning Jingwen gradually digested the surprise brought by Ruan Jingtian and said slowly.

"If you think so, you can too. Ruan Jingtian smiled, Ning Jingwen was very smart, and he immediately thought of the key point.

"I've come into contact with some people who do the printing business, but everything about printing money is highly secretive, and I'm afraid that the equipment and materials of these people are far from the standard for printing money. Ning Jingwen thought for a while. Said.

"Jingwen, I think so, as long as the paper is anti-counterfeiting watermark paper, you can not consider the problem of security thread; find a few engraving masters and buy mechanical plate-making equipment, make intaglio, do not need to find special ink for printing money, as long as the ink has good stability, wear resistance, I want to try to add some special things in the ink, to achieve the purpose of anti-counterfeiting. Ruan Jingtian knew the difficulty of this matter, so he had to lower his requirements.

"If you don't have a lot of requirements, you can still find a businessman who does a high-end printing business. I'll help you find it. After Ning Jingwen finished speaking, he took out the business card box from his handbag, which was full of business cards given by others.

Ruan Jingtian looked at her rummaging and said, "You can't come forward in this matter, you find the right person, give me his business card, and I will contact him alone." Ruan Jingtian didn't want Ning Ning Wen to show his face, if the other party saw Ning Ning Wen. It must be associated with Ning Shoucheng, which will make things extremely complicated.

Ning Jingwen nodded, she understood that her presence would change the nature of the matter, no matter for Ruan Jingtian. It's still not a good thing for the Ning family.

After a while, she took out four business cards and handed them to Ruan Jingtian. Ruan Jingtian kept the contact information and addresses of the four people in mind, and then returned the business card to Ning Jingwen.

"Jingtian, have you designed your pattern?" asked Ning Jingwen.

"Nope. It's hard to find such a person!" Ruan Jingtian was very helpless about the business he was not good at, but he knew that no one was omnipotent, and he had to rely on the strength of the team to do things.

"I'll help you design, when I was a child, I wanted to be a painter, but unfortunately, my dad didn't like me to be an artist. Ning Jingwen said eagerly.

"You know how to draw and design? Great, you can design!" Ruan Jingtian was overjoyed, what a shocking thing it is to design banknote patterns, and the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Subsequently, Nguyen Jingtian and Ning Ning Wen discussed the setting of the size of the denominations, as well as the size and pattern of each denomination. The result of the discussion was to set ten denominations, the smallest denomination is an angle, and the highest denomination is 10,000 Zili Yuan, and its pattern is the famous mountain and river of the Thorn Country by scientists of the previous dynasties of the Thorn Kingdom.

Tranquility is so proud and excited to be able to design banknotes!

"Jingwen, you must keep it secret, even to your father, mother, and grandfather, this is a heinous thing for Zheguo. Ruan Jingtian sternly admonished Ning Jingwen.

After breaking up with Ning Jingwen, Ruan Jingtian came to the Liuyun Provincial Personnel Department to find Minister Wang Sudao, and Wang Sudao encouraged him a few words, asking him to go to the deputy minister appointed by the person in charge to report on his work, and then go to the relevant departments to go through the formalities.

The procedure did not take much time, it took less than an hour, and Nguyen Jingtian took a letter of appointment and left the personnel department. Ruan Jingtian returned to the Quanshui Restaurant, dressed himself up as a middle-aged Zheguo businessman, called the four Zheguo people who had just received it from Ning Jingwen, and agreed on a time and place to meet.

In one afternoon, Ruan Jingtian met and negotiated with these four people, these four people are experts in the printing industry of Zheguo, and they are naturally nonsense to Ruan Jingtian, a non-professional who looks like an upstart. Ruan Jingtian didn't say much, just listened to their introduction and explanation, and also visited their plant and equipment. However, Ruan Jingtian did not make a hasty decision, he had to understand some basic information first.

Among the four people, Ruan Jingtian was more interested in Duan Guangwei and Zeng Qingchuan. Duan Guangwei produces and sells high-grade gravure printing machinery, which is suitable for printing money, and has been operating high-grade printing inks. Ruan Jingtian's heart was already inclined to buy Duan Guangwei's equipment and Zeng Qingchuan's ink.

After dinner, Ruan Jingtian came to Zhuo Fengguo's room and listened to the news he had heard. Zhuo Fengguo is worthy of being a scout, and he has received a lot of news, including one piece of news that has attracted Ruan Jingtian's attention: a printing factory in the former Thorn Kingdom was suppressed by Zheguo's manufacturers, was on the verge of bankruptcy, and a large number of workers were laid off;

Another piece of information is unconfirmed, but there is a rumor that after the defeat of the Thorn Kingdom by Zheguo, a large amount of anti-counterfeiting watermark paper for printing banknotes was stored in the banknote printing factory in Yanping City, which was hidden by a workshop director. This man's hometown is Springwater City, and it is rumored that he hid these watermark papers somewhere in Springwater City. It is said that the Quanshui City Gendarmerie is looking for this person and this batch of watermark paper.

After listening to Zhuo Fengguo's report, Ruan Jingtian ordered Zhuo Fengguo to contact those laid-off workers tomorrow to recruit engineers and skilled workers, and give preferential treatment.

For that unconfirmed news, Ruan Jingtian always felt that there were a lot of real elements, and he thought of Zhang Hogen, the captain of the Quanshui City Gendarmerie, last time Ruan Jingtian asked Zhang Hogen to help keep the bodies of the three people of the 823rd Division Law Enforcement Team. He said he was going to invite Zhang Hogan to a big dinner. Although I have already had dinner, I can invite Zhang Hogan to supper.

Zhang Huogen has achieved a lot of good results in his work recently, strictly implementing Ning Shoucheng's instructions, driving out some black sheep from Zheguo out of Quanshui City, arresting some technical personnel from the Assassin Kingdom, and seizing a batch of very valuable materials. Zhang Huogen was not only commended by Liuyun Province, but also received a commendation notice from the Zheguo Government Council, and experts in this area of Zheguo will arrive in Quanshui City in the next few days to take away these technical talents and materials.

After dinner. Zhang Hogan hummed Zheguo's minor tune at home, drank Zheguo's black tea, and his heart was full of joy.

The phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Hogan of the Quanshui City Gendarmerie. Zhang Hogan picked up the phone and said carefully. Being able to make this call shows that the other party is not an ordinary person. Because this phone number is confidential, and if the superior knows about this phone number, Zhang Hogan will also tell a very small number of people who he thinks is very important about this phone number.

"Hello, Captain Zhang. I'm Gong Takashi from Higashiyama Castle, so I didn't bother you, did I?"

"It turned out to be a palace counselor, hello. No, you should be called the deputy head of the palace. Congratulations on your ascension. I'm resting at home. Don't bother me, you can come to Spring City. Of course, Zhang Huogen knew the results of the appointment of the people of the joint meeting of Liuyun Province yesterday afternoon, and he heard that Gong Xiaomu had changed and became the executive deputy director of the Dongshan City Water Agency. This is really on the same level as him. In terms of real power, the executive deputy head of the water agency has much more power than the head of his gendarmerie.

"Captain Zhang, I went to the Provincial Personnel Department today to report on my work. After the debriefing, I remembered that I owed you a drink, and I wanted to pay it off quickly. I'll treat you to a late-night snack in a moment, how about you?"

"Okay, then I'll nag a few glasses of Gao Sheng wine from the deputy head of the palace to touch your joy. Zhang Hogan happily agreed.

Ruan Jingtian asked him to look for him at the philosophical restaurant of the Quanshui Restaurant.

A quarter of an hour later, Ruan Jingtian and Zhang Huogen sat cross-legged on tatami mats, drinking Zheguo green wine, eating sashimi, caviar and other classic philosophical dishes, and chatting happily.

Zhang Huogen doesn't value the official position of the executive deputy director of the Dongshan City Water Agency, after all, the Dongshan City Water Agency can't manage the affairs of Quanshui City, he values Gong Xiaomu. Not only was the original deputy director of the headquarters Liang Qianli polite to Gong Xiaomu, but it was rumored that Gong Xiaomu had a close relationship with Ning Shoucheng's daughter of the head of the headquarters, and Gong Xiaomu wore many hats and also had a place in the army, which showed that Gong Xiaomu's future prospects were limitless. At the moment, Gong Xiaomu has not yet shown his strength, and at this time, he relies on this star of the future military and politics, which is a lucrative long-term investment. The palace Xiaomu has become a powerful feudal official, and there are as many people who want to rely on it as if he crossed the river, how can he have Zhang Huogen's share?

Therefore, in the face of Gong Xiaomu's toast, Zhang Huogen never put on a show, he was very happy, and he saw the bottom of the cup.

Half an hour later, four bottles of green wine entered the stomachs of the two men. Zhang Huogen finally couldn't hold on, lying on the tatami mat, drunk and unconscious.

Ruan Jingtian silently used Xuan Gang to force out the alcohol in his body with Xuan Qi. He looked at Zhang Hogan, whose face was full of happiness, and used his soul magic to ask questions that interested him.

It was very tiring to use the Divine Soul Technique to ask the drunk, because the brain was anesthetized, and his thoughts and thoughts were also drunk and talking, so it took Ruan Jingtian a whole hour to get some valuable information.

The unconfirmed rumors are partly true and partly false, the real news is that there is indeed a batch of watermark paper used to print money, and the false news is that the gendarmerie is looking for this batch of watermark paper. The truth is that the Gendarmerie of Springwater City has found the watermark paper and is now hiding it in a secret warehouse, and the person who hid the watermark paper has been executed by the gendarmerie.

In addition, while seizing this batch of watermark paper, the gendarmerie also arrested three people, these three people are the engraving experts of the Assassin Banknote Printing Factory, and Zheguo is very interested in this batch of watermark paper and the three engraving experts, and will send someone to pick up the experts and watermark paper in the near future.

Nguyen speculated that Zhe Guo might print the banknotes of the Thorn State and then put them in the southwest of the Thorn government, destroying the financial and economic system of the Thorn State.

He opened a room at the Spring Water Restaurant, and he dragged Zhang Hogan to the room and put him on the bed.

Ruan Jingtian found Zhuo Fengguo and eight others, and asked them to follow him to the secret warehouse where the watermark paper was hidden. This warehouse is a warehouse of reserve materials left behind when the Assassin government army fled, and the devils of Zheguo secretly took over the warehouses and hid the materials that plundered the Assassin Kingdom in these warehouses. There are not many guards on the open side of the warehouse, but the secret vigilance is very strong.

Ruan Jingtian, Zhuo Fengguo and other nine people, armed with pistols with silencers, quietly touched the periphery of the warehouse. Ruan Jingtian used the snake eye skill, and under the induction of infrared rays, the distribution of guards in the dark was clear at a glance.

According to the results of infrared perception, Nguyen Jingtian assigned the task, and the nine people began to harvest the lives of these guards from four directions.

In less than an hour, all forty bright and dark guards around the warehouse where the watermark paper was hidden were silently killed. Six heavy trucks were parked in front of the warehouse, and Nguyen Jingtian opened the warehouse door and was surprised by the fact that there were more than 30 tons of watermark paper.

There are two forklifts in the warehouse for loading and unloading, and Nguyen Jingtian ordered his assistants to drive the forklifts to carry the watermark paper to the trucks.

Ruan Jingtian carefully inspected each truck to make sure that there was no tracking device, he replaced the six trucks with new license plates, and ordered six assistants to drive the trucks back to the Rabbit Ridge station in Dongshan City overnight, and handed over the watermark paper to Li Butterfly for safekeeping.

Watching the six large trucks disappear into the night, Ruan Jingtian led Zhuo Fengguo and the last assistant to the Quanshui City Gendarmerie, where the three engraving experts arrested by Zhang Huogen were imprisoned.

Ruan Jingtian is familiar with the prison of the Quanshui City Gendarmerie, and Wen Xinhui was rescued from here by him. It didn't take long for Ruan Jingtian and the other three to get rid of the eight gendarmes and rescue the three engraving experts.

On the way back to Quanshui Restaurant, Nguyen Ching Tien briefly introduced the purpose of the Self-Reliance Group and its current strength, and asked the three experts if they would like to work in the banknote printing factory of the Self-Reliance Group. After consultations, the three experts agreed to work for the Mission.

Ruan Jingtian knew that Zhang Huogen had tortured them and forced them to ask about the hiding places of other experts in the Assassin Banknote Printing Factory, although these three people did not belong to any anti-philosophical organization, but they were very backbone, and they did not say anything useful. If it weren't for the need for such experts on the part of Zheguo, Zhang Huogen would have shot the three of them together with the workshop director who hid the watermark paper.

Back at the Spring Water Restaurant, Ruan Jingtian changed the three experts into clean clothes, gave them new documents, and finally ordered the assistant to drive the three experts to Tu'erling overnight. (To be continued......)
