Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 389 Counterfeit currency appears and things are exposed
Chapter 389 Counterfeit currency appears and things are exposed
"I have no idea!"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.
But only he himself knows whether he actually has any ideas.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
Fang Yuan didn't believe it, but he still tried to express his gratitude.
"Is it possible to help Huaxia Bank and Datang Baochao tide over the difficulties?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Fang Yuan sighed and wanted to continue to refuse.
But before I finished speaking, someone came to disturb me.
None other than Gao Shilian, the Minister of Household Affairs, arrived in person.
"Your Majesty, Huaxia Bank has returned to normal."
Gao Shilian said loudly.
There was a bit of pride in his words.
He walked straight to Fang Yuan and Li Shimin without saluting.
"Back to normal?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked excitedly.
If it really returns to normal, then you don’t have to worry.
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but said nothing.
"Yes, it has completely returned to normal."
"After the common people exchanged copper coins for banknotes, we exchanged the banknotes for copper coins and seven-star banknotes."
"Then we found new craftsman operating tools and successfully printed banknotes, which can be used for normal exchange and solved the crisis."
Gao Shilian explained.
Inform Li Shimin one by one of what happened.
"Okay, okay, okay, good job!"
Li Shimin shouted hello several times, and then looked at Fang Yuan.
Although there is no explanation, the eyes seem to say, do you see, someone can solve the problem of Huaxia Bank without you?
Fang Yuan originally wanted to remind him about the anti-counterfeiting technology, but seeing the look in Li Shimin's eyes, he thought about it and decided not to.
With Gao Shilian's status, he should have considered the issue of anti-counterfeiting technology, so he can start Yanhuang Money Bank with peace of mind.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the exchange of seven-star banknotes be cancelled!"
"Most of the people who own seven-star banknotes now are aristocratic families, and they generally don't lack that little money."
"If we continue to exchange waste paper, it will be a huge expense for our court!"
Gao Shilian took the opportunity to get rid of the exchange of seven-star banknotes.
The seven-star banknotes are now useless paper and are of no use at all when exchanged.
Anyway, it has been redeemed for so many days, and ordinary people should have finished redeeming it long ago.
"Then make an announcement and redeem it in the last two days!"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
The exchange of seven-star banknotes has been going on for so long, and it really should be stopped.
You can't keep wiping the butt of Qi Wang, the fifth surname.
Speaking of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, Li Shimin got the latest news that Cui Runyu really left the Tang Dynasty with the backbone and entered the Western Regions.
After entering the Western Regions, news about Li Shimin was cut off. Datang did not have much power in the Western Regions to monitor Cui Runyu and others at any time.
"Yes!"
Gao Shilian’s respectful response should be.
Then he said that Huaxia Bank still had something to do and left.
"I also have something to do."
"Fang Yuan, do your best!"
Li Shimin was in a good mood and left with a smile.
Fang Yuan looked at Li Shimin's leaving figure and snorted in his heart.
This is the success of a villain, I hope he won’t come looking for me again.
Immediately, Fang Yuan stopped paying attention to the affairs of Huaxia Bank.
In addition to being busy with the household department, he is also busy with Yanhuang Bank.
Lu Xia and others have left Chang'an City and are escorted by the security team to Liaozhou.
Now the Huaxia Bank in Liaozhou has been changed to Yanhuang Bank, and the banknotes have also changed.
The original banknotes had the faces of Li Yuan and Li Shimin. The new money changed the color and the faces.
The portraits of the first generation of banknotes were Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.
The introduction of new money naturally faces doubts.
The people in Liaozhou were very curious as to why the good Huaxia Bank suddenly changed and the Tang Dynasty banknotes became Yanhuang banknotes.
Faced with the doubts of the common people, Yanhuang Bank did not provide an explanation, but it supported the universal use of Datang banknotes and Yanhuang banknotes.
Because Liaozhou is Fang Yuan's base, the aristocratic families here all give Fang Yuan face, and Yanhuang banknotes are circulated.
Several days passed.
Yanhuang Bank can only be used in Liaozhou and cannot develop, but it is still developing healthily.
Huaxia Bank seems to be developing well. After the Huaxia Bank in Chang'an City was stabilized, the local ones were not greatly affected.
On this day, Princess Gaomi, who had not been seen for many days, appeared at the door of Huaxia Bank, holding a large number of Tang Dynasty treasure notes to exchange for copper coins.
"Princess, why do you want to exchange so many copper coins?"
Lawyer Gao is in charge of Huaxia Bank.
I learned that it was Princess Gaomi who personally introduced Princess Gaomi to the VIP room.
"I like copper coins, do you have any questions?"
Princess Gaomi raised her eyebrows and said coldly.
"No problem, of course there is no problem."
"Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to exchange it for you."
Lawyer Gao naturally did not dare to have any objections.
But I was also wary of the sudden arrival of Princess Gaomi.
Princess Gaomi used fake seven-star banknotes to exchange for real seven-star banknotes, which caused an uproar in Chang'an City.
Anyone who doesn’t know this is embarrassed to hang out in Chang’an City.
Therefore, Lawyer Gao was surprised that Princess Gaomi suddenly brought so many banknotes to exchange for copper coins, and was very wary.
He asked people to go down and exchange them. Not only was the exchange as simple as exchange, but he also asked them to check the authenticity of the banknotes to avoid problems.
"Lawyer Gao, you are already a grown man. Do you want me to introduce you to a princess?"
Princess Gaomi seems to have been given face by Lawyer Gao, and her face looks much better.
She took the teacup handed over by Lawyer Gao with a smile and said with a smile.
"If it works, the princess will become my benefactor!"
Lawyer Gao was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly.
Given my status, there is absolutely no problem marrying a princess.
And it can also help my father consolidate his position in the court.
"It's easy to talk. I'll talk to Dongyang when I get back."
Princess Gaomi nodded and said.
"Thank you, princess."
"Princess, wait a moment, I'm going to the toilet."
Lawyer Gao is deeply grateful to Princess Gao Mi.
After pondering for a moment, he said he had to go to the toilet and left the VIP room.
But in fact, he went to the exchange center to inquire about the results and open a fast lane for Princess Gaomi.
"How was the checkup?"
Lawyer Gao asked.
"Not checked out yet, but there is a problem."
"This money is all newly printed by us, but the total amount of our new printing is only one million, and Princess Gaomi already has 800,000."
The inspector said.
These days, they have been printing new money.
Because I don’t want to print too many banknotes without anti-counterfeiting technology, I print a small quantity, just enough for use.
However, the total amount of printing was only over one million, and Princess Gaomi actually used 800,000, which surprised them. How could Princess Gaomi have so much money?
"Don't worry about it. If you don't find a fake one, just exchange it for the princess."
Lawyer Gao said solemnly.
Things are a bit strange, but Princess Gaomi wouldn’t dare to bring fake money, right?
After all, she is a princess. If she is discovered and walks around without food, the consequences will be serious.
Moreover, if the banknotes are left here, if there is any problem, it can be traced to Princess Gaomi, and she will not be able to escape.
"Yes."
The inspector said.
Prepare copper coins for Princess Gaomi soon.
Not long after, Lawyer Gao returned to Princess Gaomi with the copper coins.
"If you are free tomorrow, I will invite Dongyang to play together."
Princess Gaomi was not in a hurry to leave and said with a smile.
"The princess ordered me, how can I not be free?"
Lawyer Gao was very excited.
Princess Gaomi is so proactive, so he can't break the promise.
"Then I'll go back first."
Princess Gaomi nodded with satisfaction.
Let the people who brought it carry the copper coins into the car and go back.
Lawyer Gao personally escorted Princess Gaomi to the door.
A few days passed again, and Princess Gaomi redeemed it several times.
This time, Lawyer Gao did not dare to exchange money for Princess Gao Mi.
Because he discovered that the banknotes exchanged by Princess Gaomi exceeded the total amount printed by the bank.
There is only one result here, and that is that there is something wrong with the banknotes exchanged by Princess Gaomi, and they are not installed by Huaxia.
"No evidence of fake money found yet?"
Lawyer Gao was so anxious that he rushed around and urged the inspection personnel.
"Sir, apart from the slightly different color, I can't find any other problems."
The inspector wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
They are also helpless because their anti-counterfeiting technology is immature.
The money they produce is printed on the original paper in its original form.
However, it does not have several defense technologies like the previous Tang Dynasty banknotes, making it difficult to identify.
"Damn it!"
Lawyer Gao can only curse trash.
But it didn't help, and finally returned to Princess Gaomi with worries.
"Lawyer Gao, where is my money?"
Princess Gao Mi always thought that Lawyer Gao would bring money back to her.
However, she did not see Lawyer Gao bring back any copper coins this time, so she was surprised and flustered.
"Princess, please tell me, where did your money come from?"
Lawyer Gao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"You make money from doing business."
Princess Gaomi used the seven-star banknotes she had exchanged before to open several shops in Chang'an City.
Because Wu Qiwang left Chang'an City and the royal family replaced Wu Qiwang's original shop, there was no peer to suppress Princess Gaomi's shop.
As a result, Princess Gaomi is now developing very well, and the store has made a lot of money as a result.
"Stop joking."
"Our bank has printed a total of two million banknotes, and including what you exchanged today, it has exceeded two million. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lawyer Gao looked deeply at Princess Gao Mi and said.
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I only know that a few of my stores have made so much money!"
Princess Gaomi's heart skipped a beat, and then she said coldly.
"Princess, we will keep this amount of money first, and then give it back to the princess after checking that it is correct."
Lawyer Gao said solemnly.
"You want to take it all to yourself?"
"Do you believe that I told the outside world about your bank's problems?"
Princess Gaomi snorted coldly.
Directly ask Lawyer Gao to exchange him for copper coins.
After several disputes, for the sake of Princess Dongyang and fear of Princess Gaomi's identity, Lawyer Gao finally agreed to exchange it for Princess Gaomi.
After seeing off Princess Gaomi, Lawyer Gao immediately went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Gao Shilian and report the situation.
"Why do you always cause trouble to your father?!"
Gao Shilian was so angry that he wanted to slap his son.
First it was a matter of the printing office, and now it is a matter of banknotes.
None of these things can make me feel at ease.
"Dad, how can you say it was me who caused the trouble?"
"You said you wanted to print banknotes this way!"
Lawyer Gao said dissatisfied.
The new banknotes were personally presided over by Gao Shilian.
At the same time, Lawyer Gao and others were also asked to develop anti-counterfeiting technology.
However, it has only been a few days, and Lawyer Gao and others simply do not have enough time to study it.
Then something like counterfeit money happened.
"Are you still reasonable?"
"Hurry back and work overtime to research anti-counterfeiting technology!"
Gao Shilian was so angry.
But now we can only suppress the matter.
As long as you show off the defense techniques and then use them, there should be no problem.
But things can never go according to a person's ideas, no matter where he is.
In Chang'an City, someone discovered the problem of new money.
"Have you noticed that the money we use now is different from before!"
"Yes, I found something different. I used to see the hidden numbers when I looked at the banknotes from different angles, but now I can't."
"Not only does it not work, but the feel has also changed, and other anti-counterfeiting technologies cannot be found. I once suspected that the money I was using was fake money."
"It can't really be fake money, right?"
Soon, the news spread.
In fact, someone discovered these problems a few days ago.
However, Huaxia Bank exchanged few banknotes, so few people discovered it at once.
Now more people are discovering it and there are more discussions.
Then someone took out the previous banknotes and exchanged them for the latest banknotes.
It's okay if I don't exchange it, but once I exchange it I really find that some of the money doesn't have anti-counterfeiting technology.
Without anti-counterfeiting technology, it is a counterfeit currency. This is the slogan introduced by Huaxia Bank from the beginning.
Soon, people appeared in Huaxia Bank who wanted to seek justice.
"Dear folks, new money does not have anti-counterfeiting technology, but it is also real money and can be used with confidence."
Lawyer Gao stood up and explained.
With this explanation, the people did not cause trouble.
However, Lawyer Gao did not expect that his explanation almost caused the collapse of Datang Baochao.
Because with his explanation, more of this kind of money appeared in the market without going through Huaxia Bank.
Soon, Li Shimin knew about this.
We found Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji and Lawyer Gao.
"I heard that your new money does not have anti-counterfeiting technology!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
There are two stacks of money on the desk.
One pile is from before, and the other is from now.
After comparison, new money does not have the anti-counterfeiting technology of old money.
"Your Majesty, our technology is not up to par yet. Let's use these replacements first and replace them soon."
Gao Shilian had already thought of his words and said respectfully.
"Really?"
"But do you know that the new banknotes in private circulation now exceed those printed by you!"
Li Shimin's face darkened and he said coldly.
He looked at Gao Shilian and had the idea of killing Gao Shilian.
Li Shimin received the latest news that private organizations have emerged to imitate new money, and the money they print is the same as the money printed by banks now.
Because there is no defense technology and lawyer Gao’s announcement, the money has entered the market and has exceeded the new money printed by the bank.
This result will lead to a long period of time in the future when there will be a lot of treasure banknotes without defense technology in the world, which are obviously fake but have to be used as genuine.
When Gao Shilian and Lawyer Gao and his son heard this, their faces changed, and they secretly said something was wrong.
"I said, maybe I will remove you from your official positions!"
