Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 856
On the fifth day of March, it is already late spring, and Luoyang is full of grass growing and warblers flying, and willows blowing on the embankment.Every day, there are groups of people going out of the city for an outing.

Arriving outside the Jianchun Gate, Wang Xiaolie looked up at the city gate and couldn't help but feel emotional.When I left Luoyang last year, it was freezing cold, and when I returned, it was already spring.There are willows outside the city gate, and all kinds of vendors under the trees are very lively.

This is one of the five major towns in Henan County, where merchants gather.After Wang Xiaolie entered Luoyang, it became prosperous again.

Chen Qiudao and Chen Yuyi led the bureaucrats of the Henan government to welcome them outside the door early.Seeing Wang Xiaolie and Ye Mengde coming, he hurried forward to salute.

Everything went as planned, and everyone entered Luoyang City.After arriving at the government office and chatting for a while, he arranged Ye Mengde in a nearby post house, and held a banquet at night to welcome the wind.

In the next few days, Wang Xiaolie was extremely busy receiving officials and handling official business.On the morning of the third day, Wang Xiaolie was processing official documents in the official hall when Zheng Ke, who was in charge of the bank, came in and saluted.

Wang Xiaolie raised his head and said, "When I came back, you asked to see me. I have free time today, so tell me what you want."

Zheng Ke took out two pieces of paper from his bosom, presented them to Wang Xiaolie and said, "Recently, counterfeit coins have been discovered in Luoyang, and my subordinates have collected some. Xuanfu please take a look."

Hearing that it was counterfeit money, Wang Xiaolie dared not neglect it.I hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, and it was indeed the same as the clubs outside, but it had a strange feeling in my hand.If you look carefully, you can see that the paper patterns are somewhat different.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Xiaolie put down the banknote and said: "The painting is very similar, and there are almost no flaws. But the paper printed on it is specially made and cannot be bought outside, and this counterfeit banknote is the same. No matter how similar it looks, The paper used is different."

Zheng Kedao: "The merchants outside, how can they know the difference between the paper? This is collected by a gold and silver shop. When it was collected, the person who received the money thought it was weird, but they couldn't find anything wrong, so they had to accept it. They bought it. After accepting it, they went to the bank immediately. The people at the bank below couldn’t see anything wrong, they just felt a little strange. It was finally confirmed that it was counterfeit when it was sent to the top.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Is there a lot of this kind of fake money out there?"

Zheng Kedao: "I have studied for a long time and confirmed that this money is painted, not printed. There are very few people who can draw exactly the same, and of course there will not be much money. So far, all parties have searched, except Out of the 20 guan collected from the gold and silver shop, only [-] guan were found.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded, lowered his head in thought.After a while, he said: "The person who drew this money is also a talented person. Use some snacks to find this person as soon as possible, and ask him exactly how much he paid for the painting. If it is not much, the money is in the Circulate it outside, and collect it after receiving it from the bank. The most important thing is to find the person who drew the money as soon as possible!"

Zheng Ke bowed his hands and said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "When we issue banknotes, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of counterfeit currency. This is not surprising. If we pursue no counterfeit currency, it is not normal. The way of painting can be dealt with lightly. Because his harm is limited after all. If you encounter counterfeit money made with printed squares, you will be severely punished. Because his harm is much greater."

Zheng Ke said: "My subordinates understand. Up to now, only a few hundred coins of this kind of counterfeit coins have been found, and it is indeed not harmful."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Although the harm is not serious, you can't ignore it. You officials will send people down, find them as soon as possible."

Zheng Ke bid farewell and left.

Wang Xiaolie stood up, took a few steps back and forth, and sighed heavily.

Since banknotes are issued, sooner or later the problem of counterfeit currency will be encountered.It's just sooner or later, the severity of the plot.Don't think about me issuing banknotes. Dare to make counterfeit currency is a heinous crime. Ten thousand deaths cannot atone for the crime, and even severe punishments are used.Apart from making society nervous, such an approach does no good.

But if counterfeit money is found, it must be traced to the end.If you commit a felony, you will receive a heavy punishment, and if you commit a minor crime, you will receive a lighter punishment.

The key is that once discovered, it must be traced.It cannot be dismissed because the amount is small, the circumstances are minor, or for some reason.Even if it is not punished, it is a deterrent.If it is not pursued, there is no deterrence.

What Wang Xiaolie felt was that there is really someone in the world who can draw a meeting, and the paintings are exactly the same.If drawing ability is drawn on a curve, most of us may be far away from drawing, and there will always be someone at the top.

Is there only one person in the world who can draw Huizi so much?of course not.In a way, someone should be more like him.It's just that this person painted by chance, and the others didn't.

In the human fireworks by the Luohe River, Lu Zongyuan, Shi Yuanwai, Gu Yuanwai, and Hou Yuan sat around the table, drinking tea very comfortably.

The stone member said: "I didn't expect Chen Xiaohui to draw so fast when he didn't do other things. In ten days, he drew more than 70 strokes. At this speed, can't he draw two or three thousand strokes a year? For us Speaking of which, it’s quite a fortune.”

Lu Zongyuan said: "Yes, more than 200 guan a month is indeed a lot of money. If you distribute the money, mainly to Shi Yuanwai and Gu Yuanwai, there are more than [-] guan in a month, which can quite help the family. "

For this matter, Lu Zongyuan received [-]% of Chen Xiaohui's benefits, which would be [-] per month.For Lu Zongyuan, this is not a small amount of money.He is the leader of a longshoreman, and now he doesn't work, so he can't make much money a month.

Gu Yuanwai said: "I get more than ten pennies a month, which is a lot. Lu Yuanwai, when will you invite this Chen Xiaohui out and invite him to drink."

Lu Zongyuan said: "As a fellow from my hometown, I like to stay here every day and don't like to wander around. He is a painter, so he must endure this loneliness."

Gu Yuanwai shook his head: "It's a pity. He has this skill, so he doesn't necessarily have to make money. If there are more ways, there are many ways to make money."

Lu Zongyuan said: "It's better to paint for a meeting, which saves a lot of trouble. How can there be such a business in the world?"

Hou Yuanwai said: "This is Chen Xiaohui's handicraft. Let him decide what to paint. We all make extra money, so what's not to like?"

Seeing Shi Yuanwai and Lu Zongyuan nodding repeatedly, Gu Yuanwai couldn't say anything more.

Hou Yuanwai is a mason and has no channels to distribute money, so he can only make a few bucks a month.Although it's not a small amount of money, it's just a few more meals, and I'm not very enthusiastic about it.Recently, there has been a major construction in Luoyang, and masons have a good job.

Several people have recently made foreign money and are very excited.While drinking, eating meat, and chatting.

Tian Yuanwai has a shop in Jingrenfang, which specializes in selling white sugar.Wang Xiaolie taught the official shops to make white sugar. Recently, the method has been spread, and many shops have bought brown sugar and made it in the shop.In the evening, it is even more busy.

Seeing several workers dissolving sugar and filtering it with a filter bucket, the field staff did not dare to blink their eyes.This method has only been learned for a few days, and I am not skilled in doing it, for fear that the workers will make mistakes.Now the price of white sugar is more than twice that of brown sugar, just like picking up money.

A customer came in from the outside and looked behind the counter.

The young man rushed up and said: "Guest officer, our shop is closed at night, so we don't do business anymore. The moonlight is good tonight, so open the door to borrow some moonlight, and we don't sell any goods."

The guest said: "That's a pity. By the way, is your shopkeeper Tian Yuan outside? I have something to ask him."

The boy turned around and looked at the figure outside the field, thought for a while and said, "Yes. I don't know what's going on?"

The guest said: "Important matters should be discussed face to face."

The boy had no choice but to rush back behind the counter.Unexpectedly, the field member had already heard it, and when he heard the boy running in, he said impatiently: "Wait first! If these candies are not handled properly, how can we reply?"

After hearing this, the customer was not in a hurry, and stood in front of the counter with his hands clasped, waiting quietly.

After finally filtering the sugar solution, Tian Yuanwai wiped off his sweat, drank a large cup of cool tea, and then walked out from behind the counter.The guest who looked up looked up and down.Asked: "What's the matter with you?"

The guest said: "Yesterday you bought ten catties of mutton from Butcher Yan, and gave him a regular meeting, didn't you?"

The field member was stunned, and said: "He is a butcher, what happened to me buying meat there? Who are you?"

The guest took out a bamboo card from his pocket and said, "I am Cao Xing, a policeman from Henan Province. You'd better answer honestly and don't suffer."

Field members were surprised.He hurriedly asked Catcher Cao to go to the back room and ordered the boy to prepare tea.

After Wang Xiaolie arrived in Henan Mansion, the powers of these arrests were restricted, and the handling of cases became much more gentle.Of course, their income has also increased a lot, enough for them to handle the case gently and without complaint.

People are not born that way.There are people who are naturally irritable, and there are people who are naturally complaining, weird and varied.It's just when recruiting people, weed out the unsuitable ones and recruit the right ones.If it is found to be inappropriate during the work, it should be removed in time.

Most people understand this principle and know what to do.But when you want to do it, you feel extremely difficult, you are constrained everywhere, and you even feel unable to move an inch?Is it really that difficult?If someone tells you about your difficulties, he will say that you don't understand the truth and don't understand the difficulties in the world.

Of course it's not really that hard.But because people live in the world, you always have seven aunts and eight aunts, old and new friends.If you work in the government, they will ask you to handle it.When not to pursue, when to give convenience, when to wear small shoes, and so on.

Officials, speaking of them, are nothing more than two things, one is to give money, the other is to restrict the use of power, and the other is to make things easier for them.At present, the salaries of government officials are [-]% higher than those of the same type in society, and the logistics support is relatively in place.Strictly implement the avoidance law, and avoid relatives and friends when doing things.If you don't avoid it, you will be punished.

In the past, it was often said that state-run stores were ugly, state-owned units were difficult to handle, and so on.Have they always been like this?of course not.Are they like this afterward?Of course not.Only for a certain period of time, in certain places.

Some people are smart and say that it is enough to change these units from state-run to private.is that so?Of course not.

Give officials higher treatment and cancel their gray income. Wang Xiaolie calculated that he didn't spend much money.It's just that there are conditions, that is, to ensure that the money is sent down and the money that should be collected is collected.

In many cases, it is just that the rulers have given up these powers for the convenience of governing, and it is not necessary.Just to do this, you need to control it from the source, starting from Wang Xiaolie.Wang Xiaolie himself needs to be very self-disciplined and restrained in order to truly implement it.
