Chapter 31 Questions
In the afternoon, the state government heard the news. The east wall of the hall was almost covered with paper, and the colorful green seemed like a painting, which was spectacular.
And these papers are all seized forged exchange coupons.
Li Li stood in front of the wall, looking at the forged exchange coupons in front of him, and sighed: As expected, are the ways to make a fortune in the criminal law?
Since the military office issued exchange coupons to the soldiers, various fake coupons have been emerging in one month.
Before turning back to the case, Li Li looked at the exchange coupon with the highest "simulation" level and sincerely admired: Your hands-on ability is really good!
The biggest "selling point" of anti-counterfeiting measures for redemption vouchers is watermarks. The specific production method is obtained by exploring the "theory" learned from watching movies.
Now, this fake redemption coupon has a watermark, and the pattern is almost exactly the same.
If it weren't for the paper material and ink that could not be effectively imitated, this exchange coupon would have been able to get away with it and use it.
Thinking of this, Li Li couldn't help but be afraid: Fortunately, there are no strangers in the folk who can break through the "chemistry field", otherwise, the redemption coupon will die prematurely as soon as it is born.
He picked up the magnifying glass and carefully looked at the "fake coupon" that was enough to make the fake ones fake.
The "watermark" on the redemption coupon is actually a translucent pattern. The paper of the redemption coupon is specially made. The watermark must be made during paper making: when the pulp is formed until it is half soft and half hard, it is pressed on with a mold.
Because the position being pressed is thinner than other places, it has a translucent trace effect.
Watermarks can be made in batches with special equipment, so the production cost is relatively low.
However, craftsmen with superb skills can still produce watermark effects: use a knife to slowly scrape the paper thinner, scrape out the patterns and patterns.
However, this approach is very inefficient and is not suitable for mass fraud.
The most critical water-resistant paper (relatively speaking), water-resistant ink, is a technical obstacle that these counterfeiting craftsmen cannot overcome, because this involves "chemistry".
When you drip water on the redemption coupon, check whether the pattern will be blurred by water. This is one of the easiest and most effective ways to distinguish the authenticity of the redemption coupon.
Because the "life cycle" of the redemption coupon is short, this "water immersion method" does not have much impact on the redemption coupon itself.
Even so, as long as a certain number of fake coupons are used successfully, it will inevitably lead to significant damage to the interests of the merchants and will easily affect the reputation of the redemption coupons.
This will affect the use of redemption coupons. People will refuse to believe that redemption coupons are "valued" due to various concerns, which greatly reduces their credit.
And a redemption coupon without credit is a piece of waste paper.
If this is true, Li Li's wishful thinking of "using paper as money" will be vain.
Thinking of this, he put the fake coupon and drank tea.
To establish credit? It’s very simple. Just announce that the exchange coupons will be exchanged for good copper coins at face value, and they will be exchanged as soon as possible.
But in this way, the copper coins in the Xuzhou warehouse, that is, the "reserve" for exchange of coupons, will be redeemed by all the profiteers who flock to them.
Li Li has too little capital to afford such a simple and straightforward way to establish credit, unless he is backed by Le'an's super large copper mine (to be mined), and he uses the whole country's strength to ensure the "copper standard" of the exchange coupons.
Now you can't walk the right path, so you can only walk the wrong path.
He put down the teacup and looked at the report.
The report counts the issuance and exchange matters of this exchange voucher. All the exchange vouchers issued have been recycled and have been circulated for less than a month.
The effect was pretty good. The soldiers got affordable, the merchants got "promotion", the vouchers made their debut, and the "performance" was a success, making them famous.
At least for soldiers and their families, this batch of redemption vouchers is really valuable.
Facts show that the anti-counterfeiting measures on redemption vouchers play a role, and it is easy for users to master the methods of identifying counterfeiting, and it is simple and effective to implement, so they can use the redemption vouchers with confidence.
However, in order to make the exchange coupons bear the effect Li Li wants, it will take many years to truly establish the credit for the exchange coupons.
Because the redemption vouchers are issued as a certificate of rewards in the army, the time for issuance is either during festivals or after a battle.
How many festivals can there be worth paying "bonus" and "congratulations" in a year?
How many decent wins can you win in a year?
If you don’t make meritorious service, you will get money, which is equivalent to getting something for nothing. Why do the soldiers have to fight their lives on the battlefield?
Li Li had to find a way to open source, but he couldn't wait for so long. He also pointed to the "super issuance" of exchange coupons to solve the problem of financial tension due to huge expenses.
However, the establishment of the credit for redemption coupons is not overnight and can easily be ruined. Therefore, Li Li is about to start taking the second step based on his good first step.
That is to make exchange coupons a "token" a "optional distribution method" of military pay, which became popular in the military.
The number of soldiers and family members of Xuzhou army was less than 100,000. This group accepted the exchange coupons and could support the credit for the exchange coupons.
However, it is not easy to make the men who lick blood on the knife and their families believe that this thing can be used as money.
These people may be ignorant and do not understand any major principles, but to make the other party accept "paper can be used as money" in a short period of time is equivalent to making them believe that pigs can fly.
It is even more difficult to get these people to not rush to spend it after getting the exchange coupon.
Only when the exchange period of the exchange coupon is long enough can he realize the intention of "exceeding" the exchange coupons and spending paper as money.
To realize this intention is like fighting a fierce battle, so how can we win?
When fighting, only by leading the army can we maximize the fighting will of soldiers. Therefore, if the army wants to accept redemption coupons, someone must set an example.
This "person" is not a specific person, but a group.
Compared with soldiers with straight hearts, these people are extremely difficult to fool, because they are all human sperm and their stomachs are full of colorful intestines. On weekdays, they are the only ones who take advantage of others and never let others take advantage of themselves easily.
Footsteps sounded, and the servant came to report that lunch was ready.
Li Li turned to the back hall, but saw a large bowl of noodles had been placed on the table.
He doesn't have much high demands on diet, does not pursue any delicacies, is rare in ingredients, and focuses more on cooking skills, so three meals a day are casual.
When eating in the public hall, because I eat alone, I can’t eat much, but it’s troublesome to cook, so Li Li’s working meals have always been simple: basically all pasta.
It mainly consists of various noodle soups, or rolled green onions with pancakes, which is convenient.
The large bowl of noodles is steaming hot, with a fried egg, a few green vegetables, a little fish balls, full of ingredients, and spread the bowl of noodles.
The fragrance wafted, and Li Li's appetite increased greatly after smelling it: there was a very special fresh fragrance in the fragrance.
"This is to use Yaozhu to improve freshness," Li Li asked, and the servant replied: "Yes, I used Yaozhu brought from the mansion."
"Then you have to try it." After Li Li said that, he rolled up his sleeves and ate in big mouthfuls regardless of his demeanor.
The sound of squeaking was endless. Li Li tasted the umami flavor of Yaozhu, and felt satisfied naturally: without MSG, it was also good to have Yaozhu to improve freshness.
Yundu, which connects Xuzhou and Haizhou, has been opened to navigation, so a large amount of dried seafood is shipped from Haizhou and transported to Hanshan, so Li Li ate cheap (relatively speaking) seafood... dried seafood.
Just after eating, he was still savoring it. Zhang Ying asked for a meeting and brought Li Li a message: the court was about to send troops to attack Guangzhou Governor and Qujiang Hou Xiao Bo.
The reason was that Xiao Bo had a rebellion, inciting the rebellion of the powerful and powerful, and attempting to support the enemy and respect himself.
After hearing the news, Li Li felt strange: "Inciting the rebellion of the powerful Lingbiao? What is he trying to do? Do you like to stay in that place in Guangzhou?"
Lingnan (Lingbiao) in this era is a place of smoky mist. Although Guangzhou has been developed for hundreds of years, its prefecture is also a famous "international metropolis". Its maritime trade is prosperous, but it is not as good as the flower world in Jiangnan.
Guangzhou is the foothold of the Central Plains regime in Lingnan. It has been in operation for hundreds of years, but it is surrounded by rebellious local snakes. The climate is humid and hot, and there are many smoke and smoky things. Being an official there is equivalent to half of the exile.
Li Li believes that royal families like Xiao Bo are unlikely to be nostalgic for Guangzhou.
Zhang Ying explained: "The official of the lower lord knows about one or two of the details."
"Speak and listen."
"Before, Feng Bao, the governor of Gaoliang County, who was born in the Feng family of the Gaoliang family, passed away, and the powerful people from all over the country were ready to move..."
The Jiankang court's rule over Lingbiao was able to invest less resources due to geographical reasons, so it used both soft and hard to manage Lingbiao.
The tough one is that there are troops stationed in Guangzhou, and anyone around him will be destroyed if he dares not accept it.
The soft one is to bribe the hearts of the leaders of major wealthy families in various places, appoint these people as state and county chiefs, and hold the tiger-skinned banner given by the imperial court to manage and govern the local tyrants under the control.
From these people, they won over people with high influence and strength, and became "confidants of the court", assisted the governor of Guangzhou, and shocked other powerful officials who were in power.
Feng Bao, the governor of Gaoliang County, and his father Feng Rong, the governor of Luozhou, were such "confidants of the court".
It is said that the Feng clan of Gaoliang, Lingbiao, was a descendant of the Feng clan of the Northern Yan royal family. The Northern Yan was destroyed more than a hundred years ago (the south was in the Liu Song Dynasty at that time). A royal family took a boat to cross the sea southward and finally settled in the Gaoliang area along the southeast coast of Lingbiao.
For more than a hundred years, the Feng family has merged with the local land, and is considered half a local and half an outsider.
Later, when it came to Feng Rong, he married his son, the daughter of the Xian family of the Lingbiao wealthy family, and joined forces.
Feng Rong was close to the court, and his son Feng Bao and his wife Xian were also. He assisted the previous governors of Guangzhou to deal with the rebellious tyrants and made many efforts to stabilize the situation on the Ridge.
Feng Bao died this year, and his son Feng Pu was young. Perhaps because of the lack of a constraint, the local snakes began to get ready to move, and rebellion gradually began.
However, Guangzhou Governor Xiao Bo took not very effective measures and had little effect.
Due to various reasons, the ministers of the regents believed that Xiao Bo had ulterior motives, so he sent troops to escort the new Guangzhou Governor and took the land to Guangzhou to take office.
Li Li still felt strange: "What exactly did he aim for? Is he learning from Zhao Tuo's separatist ridge? Now the domestic situation is stable and the center is capable of mobilizing troops for an expedition. He jumped out at this time and his mind was broken?"
"So, this matter is a bit subtle..." Zhang Ying looked at Li Li, his eyes flashing with a light: "The person who led his army to escort the new Guangzhou governor is Xiao Si, the prince of Poyang."
"What? How could it be..." Li Li was a little surprised. The prince of Poyang went to the expedition to the Lingbing. This move was quite meaningful: King Xiao Fan of Poyang wanted the prince of Poyang to make his military achievements.
Zhang Ying analyzed: "Now that winter has just begun, the surface of the ridge has become colder and the smoke and smog have disappeared, which is suitable for war."
"It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with Xiao Bo. Maybe the war will end before next summer, and then the Prince of Poyang will be able to return to the court."
Li Li understood this truth, but he felt that the question was whether Xiao Bo really had a bad intention, or should King Xiao Fan of Poyang find an excuse to give his son military merits to create opportunities?
The situation in Jiankang is somewhat subtle. It is said that the father and son of the Poyang king should not be separated, but should "go to the battle to fight the father and son soldiers."
Even if the prince Xiao Si wants to go out, he cannot stay away from Jiankang.
Or, the King of Poyang has made arrangements to sit firmly in Jiankang City, so that his son can take advantage of the cold winter days and lead his army to the ridge to make military achievements, so that he can only have more confidence to take on the important tasks after he comes back.
Li Li stayed away from the center and was not clear about the intrigues in the decision-making circle, so he could only keep his doubts in his heart and sit down to see the development of the situation.
Zhang Ying reminded: "June, there are only three possibilities for this matter. First, simply attacking Xiao Bo, and the Prince of Poyang took the opportunity to make military achievements."
"Secondly, someone lured the tiger away from the mountain to let the prince of Poyang leave Jiankang."
"Third, since someone wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the Prince of Poyang will take the plan and leave Jiankang."
Li Li touched his chin: "In other words, it's going to be storm again on Jiankang?"
