Two hundred and eighty-four chapters very disappointed
Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, nodded in agreement, and felt that what Han Du said made sense. After all, not everyone can face mountains and seas of treasure without being tempted. If these people really have such high morals, then they will still risk it.
Why would you print treasure banknotes privately at the risk of beheading? It can be seen that this is a group of greedy people who cannot easily give up the huge wealth in their hands.
Seeing Lao Zhu nodding, Han Du felt determined and continued to explain: "But it is not easy to cash out a large number of counterfeit treasures in a short period of time. There is no trace of these people yet.
This shows that this group of people must be extremely careful. If they want to give out treasures without attracting attention, they can only give out small amounts bit by bit to avoid the court's sight. But
In this case, with their huge capacity, they will not be able to finish it even if it lasts until the Year of the Monkey."
After all, the privately printed treasure banknotes that can flow to the private sector are estimated by Han Du to be more than 20 million guan, so these people will not have less than 10 million guan in their hands. If you want to rely on it little by little
If you want to sell 10 million guan of treasure, when will it take?
Therefore, these people must have channels that can give out large amounts of treasure money.
In the past, Lao Zhu didn't notice, or didn't expect that there were people who were so bold and dared to do this thing of exterminating the nine tribes. They relied on channels to release a large number of privately printed treasures among the people, without attracting the attention of the court, so it was considered safe. But now
The situation is different from before. Lao Zhu's successive actions must have made these people understand that the court was aware of them. Under such circumstances, no one knows whether these people dare to continue to use the previous channels to withdraw treasure money.
Moreover, Han Du doesn’t know through what channels these people used to issue treasure money. But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know. If there are conditions, wouldn’t it be good to create a condition?
"Therefore, these people must have a way to secretly print treasure banknotes in large quantities." Han Du said with certainty, and then continued: "Although Wei Chen doesn't know how they secretly print treasure banknotes in large quantities, but since it is
If privately printed treasure banknotes are used in large quantities, a large number of transactions will inevitably occur. After all, if privately printed treasure banknotes are to be turned into money, the goods need to be purchased."
Lao Zhu's eyes showed a thoughtful look and he was silent.
"Since they want a large amount of transactions, the minister will help them and find a channel that can generate a large amount of transactions. Your Majesty, please take a look." Han Du took out a mirror and said with a smile: "The mirror is small and small.
They are valuable. A piece as big as a palm is worth fifty guan. A carriage can pull up a wooden box and carry two to three thousand pieces, which are worth more than 100,000 guan. There is no better way to turn privately printed treasure banknotes into cash.
There’s a solution.”
At this moment, Lao Zhu also understood Han Du's plan. He was trying to lure the snake out of its hole. However, Lao Zhu still had doubts about whether Han Du's idea could work, so he asked: "Do you think they will be fooled?
"
While asking Han Du, Lao Zhu was also full of uneasiness. On the one hand, he naturally hoped to lure these people out. In this way, Lao Zhu could avenge his tragic death of his grandson. On the other hand, in his heart
There is also uncertainty. After all, these people are too cautious. Mao Xiang has been searching for so long but has not found any useful clues. I am afraid he will not be fooled by Han Du.
"This..." Han Du paused and said bluntly: "I'm not sure. Although I arranged eight businessmen to avoid their suspicion, I can't say whether they will take the bait.
good."
Eight, no more, no less.
If there were only two or three, those people would probably not take the risk, but if there were eight, maybe they would have the courage to take a gamble. Now that Han Du has laid out his cards, it seems that the other party is a cautious one.
A timid person is still a bold gambler.
"Eight..." Lao Zhu pondered for a while, looked at Han Du and said to himself, "It seems that Han Du has also considered it carefully. Eight businessmen are not more or less, which is just right. And look at Han Du
The way he did it was to stick it with a stick if there were dates but he didn’t know. He didn’t know whether there would be results.”
But it's not bad, a smile appeared on Lao Zhu's face. After all, the opponents are a group of smart people, and it would be an insult to anyone to say they are completely sure.
"I know, I will send someone to keep an eye on these eight people secretly."
Seeing Lao Zhu nodding, Han Du felt relieved. He was fishing for the big fish for a long time, and since it was fishing, he had to be patient. Han Du was afraid that Lao Zhu would be so angry that he would mess around and frighten the snake.
"Then, Weichen, please retire."
...
Once the bait is set, just wait for the fish to take the bait.
But this fish is smarter. Han Du waited for more than ten days until the treasure banknotes in the capital had risen to the point where they could be exchanged for copper coins. There was no sign of the fish biting the hook. During this period, the exchange rate of treasure banknotes also dropped.
Several times, Han Du was excited and thought that those people had taken the bait. Unfortunately, after Lao Zhu sent people to investigate, he found out that it was just because the treasure notes in the capital were more valuable and some people brought the treasure notes from other provinces to the capital to exchange them.
.
Han Du was sitting in the hall of the Baochao Examination Office and pondered, and after a moment he sighed: "You are really cautious, are you not going to take the bait like this?"
Xiong Shi and Old Man Huang sat under Han Du and looked at Han Du together.
Seeing that Han Du had come to his senses, Xiong Shi quickly asked: "Sir, nearly three million new banknotes have been printed. Do we still need to continue printing them? If we continue to print them, then the cotton is almost used up.
Need to buy again."
Han Du lowered his head and blew on the tea leaves floating in the cup, and said casually: "Print, don't stop, keep printing. If you don't have enough cotton, go buy it. If you run out of ink, continue printing tung oil and let the craftsmen put the cigarettes out."
Collect the ink. In short, the printing of treasure banknotes cannot be stopped."
"yes."
Han Du raised his head, looked at Mr. Huang, and asked, "How is the house going?"
"My lord, we just built the courtyard wall. Later, we were short of manpower to print treasure banknotes, so I stopped them first."
Han Du thought for a moment, nodded and said: "The house is not urgently needed yet, so it's okay to stop for a while. If you can be busy, then dig the foundation. If you are really busy, forget it. Wait until
After this period of busy work is over, it won’t be too late to start building a house again.”
After hearing this, Mr. Huang had a troubled look on his face.
When Han Du saw it, he asked: "What? Is there any problem? Do the craftsmen think that I don't mean what I say?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, no, no, everyone still trusts you."
