Chapter 177

Outside the gate of the Nazhiyuan, in front of a stall selling saddles, the owner looked at the banknote in his hand, shook his head and said to the person in front of him: "Brother, this is Qinzhou City in the Song Dynasty. You are using the money from the thief to buy goods. Do you want to bully me?"

The person who bought the saddle was a little vulgar and shrank his head and said, "How can the master say that? He is a little illiterate and only knows the money printed on the common banknotes outside the mountain now. How can he know who printed it?"

The owner held the banknote and held it to the buyer: "If you don't recognize the words, can't you still tell the Chinese characters are different? The money of the thief is the Chinese characters, so my Song Dynasty's characters are naturally Chinese characters. You can still tell if you look different, right?"

"How can I see it? It's all square and the same text"

Seeing that he was entangled, the owner held the money in his hand and said to the servant next to him: "If you see the money, you must report to the official. You are here to accompany this guest. I will go to the inspector. Remember to say good words and don't annoy the guests."

After saying that, he bowed to the guest and turned around and walked towards the Nazhiyuan.

When I heard that the reporter was reported, the guest panicked and waved to the owner's back. Seeing that the people around me were constantly rushing, he didn't shout. Seeing that the owner disappeared in the yard of the qualifying house, the guest whispered to the servant beside him: "Brother, is it possible to make money in Qinzhou City and still have to be imprisoned? I am a foreigner, and I don't know how to distinguish between money from Han and money, and I have no intention of mistakes."

The servant said, "There are many people who have used money from foreign countries in the city in the past two months. There are reports from the yamen. When merchants meet, they will report to the officials. I heard that they will receive the money from the yamen first, and give you paper approvals, and return it to you when they leave the city. However, when you go to the countryside, you must find a local official to use the money to defraud your property, but you are not allowed in private, because you are afraid that someone will use money to defraud your property."

The guest breathed a sigh of relief and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, brother, for telling me, I'll be relieved to say this."

After a while, the host came out of the Qualification Court and followed an official to the guest who used the money and said, "The matter has been reported to the yamen. You can follow this official to come in and collect your money first, give it a paper approval, and send it back to you when you leave the city. Remember, no money is allowed in the Song Dynasty. If you commit it again, you will be imprisoned!"

The guest nodded repeatedly and said, taking the money handed over to the officials who came.

The officials looked up and down at the people who used the money and said lightly: "Follow me. You have to meet the officials in this matter and remember your name. Qinzhou can't help but do business, but using money always violates the statutes. If you don't get imprisoned, you have to go to the yamen."

After saying that, he took the lead and ignored the person who used the money behind him and walked straight to the magnesium hospital.

Seeing that the master signaled him to follow him quickly, he hurriedly took his bag with the money and followed the officials into the qualifying institute.

At this time, the Nazhiyuan had become the most lively commercial area in Qinzhou City. There were all kinds of shops, and merchants from all directions were constantly flowing. Qinzhou has a yamen for managing business, named Nazhiyuan Commercial Taxation Institute. In fact, the management of commercial tax is only an auxiliary function. The most important responsibility is to maintain the commercial order here and handle various commercial disputes.

After entering the Commercial Taxation Court, the official said to the guest who followed him with money: "You wait here, I'll report it."

After saying that, he went straight into the official hall in front. The guest saw that the patrol soldiers standing not far away were all holding knives and guns, and his face was very unkind and did not dare to move around, so he waited obediently.

The official entered the official hall and arrived at a case. He bowed to the public official after the case and said, "At the level of the day, another person who uses money came from outside, and he was still dressed like the previous few. I asked him to wait in front of the hall. How to deal with it? Please surrender and command."

Cao Jiejie, the official on duty today, raised his head, rubbed his eyes and said, "I saw three today. It seems that Punishment Fan Tong was sent by the thief, but I'm afraid it's good. Those of them must have a plan. Now there is no need to be alarmed. Let's secretly see what they are going to come to Qinzhou. I'll go to the next hall, you bring the person here, collect his money, and send him."

The official bowed his promise and turned around and left the official hall.

Cao Jiejie stood up, stretched out his body, called a scattered official to come to the court, and asked him to report to the supervisor of the business department, and then went to the Qinzhou yamen to report to the magistrate Fan Xiang. In the past few days, several incidents of using money were discovered. Unlike before, the people discovered this time were repeatedly charged and offenders. It was not that the ignorant people mistakenly accepted Dang Xiang's money and took it out. Fan Xiang judged that Dang Xiang's purposefully organized people to come to Qinzhou to do this, and he must have a purpose. He ordered not to fight for the best, and secretly kept a close eye on them.

After sending people out to report the news, Cao Jiejie summoned a few more officials and patrolmen to the small hall next to him.

The person who used the money was waiting there early. When he saw Cao Jiejie coming in, he knew that he was the official in charge and hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Cao Jiewei sat down after the case, and the official took the paper and pen and spread it on the case. Cao Jiewei called a bookmaker and asked him to record according to Ruyan's own instructions. Then he asked the person standing in front of him who used the money: "What's your name? Where is the family? The names and hometowns of the ancestors of the three generations received the money? Why did they come to Qinzhou? Have you been here before?"

The man bowed his hands repeatedly and smiled, "The young Peng Ada, the young man, is from Yanguan Town, Tianshui County. His ancestors lived there for three generations. Last month, he sold sheep to customers from afar. He said that they were all used for banknotes outside. The young man had heard of it, so he accepted it. Because the small man could not read the big words, he was cheated by the customer with money. This time he came to Qinzhou, because he had money to buy some miscellaneous items."

Cao Jiejie asked the book to take notes, and then asked Peng Ada's name in detail, which village he lived in, and what kind of village he lived in, so he could write one by one.

Finally, Peng Ada handed over all the money on his side and said to him: "The provincial government has long announced the list of the list. In the countryside, there must be a private or a villager as a guarantor. With the guarantor, you will receive fake money and foreign money, and there will be someone who will pay the money. If you don't look for an guarantor, you will collect money privately. This is your fault. Qinzhou City is not allowed to use foreign money, so you will collect the money on your body and send it back to you until you leave the city. Although this money cannot be used, it will still be yours after all. I will not be greedy for you."

After saying that, he asked the book to write a document by hand, and used his own seal to send it back to Peng Ada.

The Song Dynasty government agencies paid the most attention to official documents, the format of official documents, and the use of words. Many officials who did not understand practical affairs were bullied by officials. One important reason was that they did not understand official documents. Official documents must rely on public officials and could not write them himself, and sometimes they could not even understand what it meant. Xu Ping always emphasized rules, systematically, standardized, and even made into a unified template, which was to remove the mysterious color of official documents and make it clear at a glance regardless of officials. The same is true in Qinzhou. As long as it was official documents, they had to report to the state yamen to make a template, print it into a form, and send it back to the staff to fill in it. This certificate of the person who gave the money was also printed by the Qinzhou yamen. It could be seen at a glance with the official seal.

Cao Jiejie looked at Peng Ada with the corner of his eyes and took the official document in his hand. After looking carefully, he was carefully put into his arms and couldn't help but sneer. When he was taken out by the official, he said to the bookkeeper beside him: "This bird was still looking at it carefully, as if he was aware of words. Hum, I'm afraid it's not a country man who grazed sheep. You copy the letter of the book and I'll send someone to Tianshui County to see if there is such a person. No matter whether he is a human or a ghost, just keep a close eye on it!"
