Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1269 Zhang Scholar

Hearing that the man did not agree to the compensation, Qin Tian felt a little strange.

You know, there are very few people in this world who are unforgiving, especially when facing his Qin family's shop, which has such a background.

No one should want to offend them.

However, the man in front of him just refused to accept the compensation.

Qin Tian's eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Since we don't accept compensation, let's go inside and talk."

After speaking, Qin Tian turned around and walked into the backyard of the shop. Seeing this, the man followed without hesitation.

The two of them came to the backyard one after the other. The autumn colors in the backyard were a bit thick, and the leaves were almost withered. On the stone table under the tree, there were even some fallen leaves.

After Qin Tian sat down, he glanced at the man and asked, "What's your name?"

The man smiled slightly, and said: "If you go back to the young master, I will be a scholar next time."

The name is very common, Qin Tian didn't care about it, and said, "Tell me about your purpose."

This person refused to accept ten times the compensation, so his purpose must not be as simple as money, he must have other intentions.

Seeing that Qin Tian saw his intentions, Zhang Shusheng was not in a hurry, and said: "I don't have any purpose, I just feel that my officials in the Tang Dynasty are quite incompetent, and they can't even detect the flood of counterfeit money in the Tang Dynasty, so I think This is the only way to attract the attention of Young Lord Qin."

He, Zhang Scholar, is just a commoner, and it is impossible to meet officials on weekdays. In this way, even if he finds out that there are counterfeit coins in Datang, it will be a bit difficult to report to the court through a certain official.

He had no choice but to find Qin Tian's shop to lure Qin Tian out, and based on his understanding of Qin Tian, ​​whenever things got serious, Qin Tian would definitely come.

Now it seems that his plan was not wrong.

However, after Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, Qin Tian's eyebrows frowned slightly. This person is suspected of humiliating court officials.

"You said Datang was flooded with counterfeit money, where did you start?"

Although it hasn't been long since he returned to the capital, Qin Tian has never heard of counterfeit money in the past few days, and this is the first time today, so when Zhang Shusheng said that the Tang Dynasty's counterfeit money was rampant, he didn't take it seriously. Grandstanding.

However, Zhang Shusheng was very calm and said: "I know that the young man doesn't believe it, but you can check the copper coins in your shop, I'm sure you can find a lot of counterfeit coins from your copper coins. "

Hearing this, Qin Tian murmured in his heart. What he was most worried about was that there would really be a flood of counterfeit money, rather than special circumstances. .

After a while, Qin Tian sent someone to bring some copper coins from their shop.

These copper coins were taken randomly, without any deliberate intention. After the copper coins were brought, Qin Tian rummaged back and forth, and as he rummaged, his face became more and more ugly.

In just half a stick of incense time, he found dozens of counterfeit coins, and if he continued to search, he could find more.

There is a lot of money in their shop every day. It is not obvious that these counterfeit coins are mixed in, but it also shows a problem. What Zhang Shusheng said is true.

Datang really has counterfeit money in circulation.

These counterfeit coins are also made of copper, but other alloys are different. In this case, these counterfeit coins are easy to make, the cost is very low, and they can be circulated equally in the world, so the people who make counterfeit coins can earn a lot of money. the money.

Of course, the circulation of counterfeit money is very detrimental to Datang's economic development and market stability.

After all, these counterfeit currencies will hit the market, disrupt the order of the entire market, and even cause inflation.

These problems are very serious matters for Datang, and must be handled with caution.

After Qin Tian found out that this matter was true, he thought a lot in his mind, no matter how many things he thought about, anyway, the final result was that counterfeit money was very bad for Datang, and this problem must be solved.

He glanced at Zhang Shusheng and asked, "Since you found out about this, you must have done some research on copper coins, right?"

Zhang Shusheng nodded: "That's right, I like to collect copper coins very much. From the half taels of the Qin Dynasty to the Fangkong coins of the Han Dynasty, etc., I know everything about them. I can say that I am very familiar with them."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shusheng changed the subject and smiled softly: "However, these copper coins are easy to forge, and the cost is very low. They can make copper coins worth two pennies at the cost of half a penny, and these copper coins After entering the market, they can earn several times the money."

The purpose of others making counterfeit currency may be to make money, and the profit is several times, which is much faster than doing business.

Datang is very big, as long as these counterfeit coins are circulated, the demand is really huge.

And this situation will continue until the collapse of Datang's economy.

Qin Tian was a little stunned, he just didn't expect Zhang Shusheng to say such a thing, he actually thought that copper coins would be easy to forge.

"Oh, in your opinion, what kind of copper coins are not easy to forge?"

"Copper coins are all products of copper alloys. Different alloys have different colors. If you want copper coins, it is not easy to forge. Naturally, it depends on the color. It is not easy to be forged. I think that red copper is relatively difficult to forge. Some, moreover, the production of red copper in my Tang Dynasty is very high, and the production cost will be very low..."

Zhang Shusheng really knew about copper coins, and he could be said to be eloquent about the composition of copper coins. Qin Tian listened to what he said, and even he, a descendant, was a little shocked.

And this also let Qin Tian know that Zhang Shusheng has really studied the copper coins in depth, and only when he really goes deep will he be so familiar with a certain thing.

After Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Qin Tian's mouth, and he said: "You are right, after I report to the court and solve the criminals who made counterfeit money, I will recommend you to the Holy Majesty."

People like Zhang Shusheng have their own unique talents. Such people are also very helpful to the construction of Datang. Since they are useful, they must be used.

And Qin Tian knew that Zhang Shusheng didn't just want Qin Tian to know about the counterfeit currency by making such a move, but also that he wanted to take the opportunity to step into the officialdom and make himself famous.

Don't people in the world come here for profit and power?
This scholar Zhang is no exception.

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Zhang Shusheng's expression changed slightly, and he cupped his hands to Qin Tian and said, "If so, thank you, Young Master Qin."

He really wanted to enter the officialdom.
