Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 235 The Counterfeit Money Problem Finally Explodes
Fang Yuan immediately thought it was an invitation from Princess Gaomi.

So he sent the gatekeepers away and left the matter behind.

After get off work, Fang Yuan went back to Fang Mansion directly, completely forgetting about being invited.

"Husband, you are back, have you worked hard today?"

Du Miaoyan welcomed Fang Yuan with a smile.

Fang Yuan walked into Fang Mansion with his front foot, and Du Miaoyan appeared with his back foot.

He took the initiative to ask Fang Yuan if he was tired, and even rubbed Fang Yuan's shoulders, being considerate.

"What happened today?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

In the past, Du Miaoyan also cared about him very much.

But there was no greeting at the door like today.

This surprised Fang Yuan, and felt that something happened.

"No, come to the dining room soon, I personally cooked some special dishes today."

Du Miaoyan said with a grin.

Fangfu has its own chef, and the chef cooks the daily meals.

Du Miaoyan can also cook, but she seldom cooks, since she married Fang Yuan, she is only a few hands away.

"Nothing really happened?"

Fang Yuan was even more surprised.

In Du Miaoyan's company, they came down to the dining room.

At this time, Juzi and others were already waiting here.

"Did anything special happen today?"

Fang Yuan took advantage of Du Miaoyan to serve the dishes, and asked in a low voice.

"No."

"no."

Juzi and the others looked at each other, shook their heads and said.

Fang Yuan was even more puzzled, and more curious about what happened.

Soon, Du Miaoyan came back and brought back dishes and soup with the servants of the house.

During the meal, Du Miaoyan brought food to Fang Yuan many times, with a smile on her face, very happy.

Du Miaoyan worked harder than before when she went back to bed.

"Miaoyan, what happened today?"

"Why do I feel that you are different today from the past?"

Fang Yuan hugged Du Miaoyan, still curiously asked.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Du Miaoyan should have something to hide from herself.

"No la."

"I'm just happy that Wanxiu invited you to Yipin Xiangni today."

"Husband, let me tell you, when Wanxiu asks you out alone in the future, don't go either."

Du Miaoyan clung to Fang Yuan's arms, murmured.

Fang Yuan was stunned, and then realized that it was Princess Xiangcheng who invited him in the afternoon.

For a while, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know whether to regret or be thankful.

What I regret is that I didn't go to Princess Xiangcheng to ask what they talked about that day.

Fortunately, I didn't go to Princess Xiangcheng, because Du Miaoyan knew about it in advance, and there were many contrasts.

Once she goes to see Princess Xiangcheng, Du Miaoyan will definitely make a face to herself when she returns home at night, and it will be very uncomfortable.

Ugh.
The past is past.

The night passed like that.

The next day was sunny and fine, and many people went to the market.

However, it looked like the weather was sunny, but it slowly turned cloudy at noon, and finally it rained.

The rain was a bit sudden, which caught people off guard. People on the road were looking for shelter from the rain.

"It's really evil today. The sun was so bright when I went out, but I didn't expect it to rain in the end."

"Isn't it just raining? What kind of evil can there be? Can those who can't speak shut up?"

"What are you talking about, are you looking for a draw?"

"Don't, don't, kindness makes money, I'll treat you to a drink."

There are many people sheltering from the rain under the eaves.

It was too crowded, so there was some resentment.

After a few noisy words, someone almost started a fight.

Fortunately, my friend pulled me over and said that I wanted to buy a drink, which calmed down the incident.

However, the troubles had only just begun.

"Fuck, what's the situation?"

"Didn't it say that the banknotes are waterproof? Why is mine rotten?"

Someone was shocked.

When I took the money out of the purse, I found that the money soaked in water would rot if touched.

The sound rang out, and the people who were sheltering from the rain under the eaves were shocked, and quickly took out the banknotes on their bodies.

Paper money is now popular in Chang'an City, and the usage rate of paper money is almost comparable to that of copper coins.

"Damn it, my money is rotten too."

"It's okay, my money is fine, it's really waterproof."

"Hey, what's going on, who can tell me, my money is also rotten."

"Look, let's see if it's the Tang treasure banknote or the Seven Star treasure banknote?"

People were shocked and talked a lot.

In the end, the people sheltering here from the rain found that all the rotting money belonged to Seven Star Treasure Banknotes.

Of course, not all the money is rotten, but some of it is, but it is also a very bad thing.

"Let's go to the Seven Star Bank to ask for an explanation!"

The people were angry.

He braved the rain and walked towards the Seven Star Bank.

Banks with five surnames and Qiwang are called banknotes, and banknotes are called Qixing banknotes.

Moreover, the bank on Fang Yuan's side is called Huaxia Bank, and the banknotes are called Datang Baochao.

With the sound of injustice in the rain, more people sheltering from the rain also discovered the situation, and more people found that the banknotes in their hands were also rotten.

Because of the rainy day, the news spread slowly, but many people knew about it, because many people saw that their money was rotting after being exposed to the rain.

Chang'an County Government.

Fang Yuan received reports from the people.

"How dare you deceive the common people!"

Fang Yuan was furious, and immediately assembled the county government.

It's a pity that the counterfeit coins of Wuxing Qiwang were exposed so quickly.

It seems that it will be difficult to exchange banknotes for money in the future.

Although Fang Yuan's current simulation technology is the same as Wu Xing Qi Wang's, the other party has already become vigilant.

Soon, braving the rain, Fang Yuan led Zheng Jiu and others to the door of Seven Star Bank.

When Fang Yuan and others arrived, thousands of people had gathered here.

The rain finally stopped, only the ground was wet.

"The Chang'an order is here, the Chang'an order is here."

"Everyone, get out of the way and let Chang'an Ling decide for us!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let's all get out of the way, let Chang'an Ling decide for us!"

Someone found that Fang Yuan brought the county government over.

As if they had found the backbone, they all looked at Fang Yuan for help.

The Seven Star Bank is owned by five surnames and seven kings, and most of the common people fear their prestige and strength.

Now that Fang Yuan came, they pinned their hopes on Fang Yuan, asking Fang Yuan to give them justice.

Because in the meantime, after they arrived at the bank, no one came out to comfort them except for the shopkeeper who appeared to say something at the beginning.

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Fang Yuan said loudly.

He deliberately came slowly.

It was almost two hours from the incident to the arrival of the yamen servant.

Coming here with such a delay is to make things bigger and let more people know.

"Who is in charge of the Seven Star Bank, come out and see me!"

Fang Yuan came to the door and shouted inside.

However, no one responded.

"Who is in charge of Seven Star Bank, come out and see Chang'an Ling immediately!"

Zheng Jiu stepped forward and shouted instead of Fang Yuan.

This time, a shopkeeper finally came out, it was the middle-aged shopkeeper who exchanged copper coins with Princess Gaomi.

"Meet Fang Ling."

"My master is rushing over, please wait a moment."

The middle-aged shopkeeper saluted Fang Yuan, saying neither humble nor overbearing.

"I can wait, but so many people who are soaking wet can't wait."

"Come here, seal up the Qixing Bank and bring all these people back to the county government."

Fang Yuan stared blankly, said in a deep voice.

Good guy, dare to tell yourself to wait.

"Fang Ling, we are from the Boling Cui family!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper's eyes darkened, reminding him.

"take away!"

Fang Yuan only left one sentence.

Zheng Jiu and the others acted immediately.

A large number of yamen servants rushed into the bank to arrest people.

After the person was caught, the bank was immediately sealed up.

"Chang'an Order is mighty!"

The people watched and were shocked.

A Chang'an decree that is not afraid of five surnames and seven expectations is what they want.

Only officials who are not afraid of power are good officials, and justice can be done for them.

The news is still brewing.

Li Shimin in the palace also got the news.

"This Fang Yuan, he sealed up the Seven Star Bank like this?!"

After Li Shimin heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Fang Yuan's operation is correct, in line with his practice as Chang'an Order.

But Qixing Bank is owned by five surnames and Qiwang, and sealing up their bank is an offense to them.

Let's see what Fang Yuan does first, after all, the bad money in Qixing Bank cannot be ignored.

Cui's mansion in Boling.

The patriarchs of the seven surname families gathered together again.

"It is impossible for our money to rot after melting into water, which means that the previous guess was correct. Someone exchanged counterfeit currency for our copper coins, and then the counterfeit currency flowed out of the market."

"It is very likely that it is Princess Gaomi, but the banknotes she exchanged were found to be real last time, and she does not have a store that earns our banknotes, which makes me very strange."

"The royal family opened the Huaxia Bank, and we opened the Seven Star Bank. It's normal for them to take action against us. I just didn't expect the dignified emperor to use such tricks."

"It's impossible to just let it go. What should we do with the bad money?"

The seven patriarchs spoke one after another.

They were almost certain that Li Shimin was behind it.

Apart from him, no one would dare to confront them so boldly.

Besides him, other people should not have the strength to research their counterfeit money so quickly.

At this time, they all had counterfeit coins in their hands, and they couldn't tell the difference from the real coins at all from the outside.

It was only found to be fake after being dissolved in water.

"If we refund the money, we will definitely lose money."

"But if the money is not refunded, the reputation of our bank will be ruined."

"I suggest you go back."

Cui Runyu sighed.

This time, it was obvious that they were dumb and ate Coptis chinensis.

"I also suggest refunding, we can still afford to lose that little money."

"But some people have to pay for it."

Other patriarchs also expressed their views.

The loss this time was not small, but to Wu Xing Qiwang, it was just a drop in the bucket.

In comparison, it is better to maintain the business of the bank.

"Then what do you think about the counterfeit money?"

"I'm still suspicious of Princess Gaomi, and their falsification is already the same as ours."

Cui Runyu raised the question again.

He had a conversation with Princess Gaomi that day, and he was very suspicious that Princess Gaomi was a fake.

It may be that the level of counterfeiting has been the same as theirs, so it is impossible to tell.

But this is a huge problem for their bank, which will destroy the balance of their bank.

"Stop exchanging paper money for copper coins?"

Taiyuan Wang's patriarch frowned and said.

"Inappropriate, it will make people afraid to use our banknotes."

"Also, even if the exchange of copper coins is stopped, they can still buy our things with paper money."

Cui Runyu shook his head and said.

Paper money is exchanged for copper coins, and copper coins are exchanged for paper money, they must be the same.

Otherwise, people would not dare to exchange banknotes, fearing that the banknotes would not be used in the future and would be exchanged for waste paper.

And this is not the way to solve the problem. Princess Gaomi's money is so similar, you can buy their things directly without exchanging them.

This is hard to guard against, and it will hurt their roots for a long time every day.

"I have two thoughts."

"First, continue to strengthen research on anti-counterfeiting technology."

"Secondly, we also made fakes, making fake Tang Dynasty banknotes."

The patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang said in a deep voice.

It is necessary to treat the person in the same way as the person.

"feasible."

"What about Princess Gaomi?"

Everyone nodded one after another, and chatted to Princess Gaomi again.

"Patriarch Cui, you more or less know about Princess Gaomi's situation."

"Why don't you let her know the anger of our five surnames and Qiwang."

The head of the Zheng clan in Xingyang said.

All the patriarchs nodded one after another, and Cui Runyu had no objection either.

Soon, the meeting was adjourned, and Cui Runyu first went to the Chang'an County Government to deal with the current issue.

Thousands of people from the Chang'an county government have squeezed out from the inside, and they all expressed that they want the Seven Star Bank to lose money and so on.

The scene was extremely lively, even Fang Yuan could not shut up everyone even if he was sitting under the impartiality.

But at this time, a loud voice came from outside.

"The head of the Boling Cui clan has arrived."

The sound sounded, and the voices of the people gradually quieted down, and finally fell silent.

Fang Yuan sat on the stool, feeling the changes now, his expression changed slightly, he sighed secretly how terrible the five surnames and seven looks were.

Soon, a middle-aged and elderly person appeared, and the extremely crowded people spontaneously made way for Cui Runyu to go directly to the county government office.

"Everyone, I'm sorry that something like this happened at the Seven Star Bank."

"We found out that some people made counterfeit money and exchanged the fake money for real money from our Seven Star Bank. It is extremely abhorrent."

"But this matter has nothing to do with you. You used our money. If the money is rotten, we will pay as much as it is rotten."

Cui Runyu said slowly.

"Patriarch Cui is doing great!"

"Patriarch Cui is mighty and majestic!"

When the words fell, the common people discussed heatedly.

This is what they want.

They have nothing to lose.

They even share the same hatred and hate the counterfeiters.

"Fang Ling, can the Seven Star Bank be unsealed?"

Cui Runyu looked at Fang Yuan and said calmly.

"Of course it can."

Fang Yuan also responded indifferently.

But I have to admit that the patriarch of the Boling Cui family has a great aura.

Originally, such a big matter was easily resolved after appearing on the scene.

And now people are very afraid of him, and dare not face him squarely.

This kind of prestige is no less than the arrival of the emperor, it is really terrible.

"Then please release all my people."

Cui Runyu nodded slightly.

After speaking, he left the way he came and went.

"Let go."

Fang Yuan looked at Cui Runyu's back and said calmly.

The matter was settled in this way, and the people left one after another.

The Seven Star Bank has reopened to exchange holidays for the common people.

After Fang Yuan learned that the fake money was actually exchanged, he asked someone to contact Princess Gaomi to exchange it again.

But at this time, Cui Runyu, who left the Chang'an county government, went directly to Princess Gaomi's son-in-law's mansion.

He directly broke into Princess Gaomi's son-in-law's mansion to let Princess Gaomi know what the consequences of offending the five surnames and Qiwang would be.
