In the Protectorate's Mansion, Fan Xiang stood in front of Xu Ping's case and said, "The Great Mansion, I recently found that the thieves sent people to enter our territory to buy goods with foreign money. Fortunately, the prevention and control was strict. Except for some remote mountainous areas, the people did not know the laws of the state and were deceived by the thieves. The subordinate prefectures and counties did not make any plans. Since Qinzhou discovered such people a few days ago, the subordinate officials sent people to secretly take strict supervision. It has been found that the names and hometowns of these people reported were all fake, and they are now in groups of three or five, living inside and outside Qinzhou City. If you take them or not, please ask for instructions!"

After hearing Fan Xiang's words, Xu Ping couldn't help but frown and thought for a while, "They just use foreign money to cheat? The money in this dynasty is obviously different from foreign money. You can tell at a glance that Haozi would not do such things no matter how stupid he is!"

Fan Xiang said in a deep voice: "The lower official also thinks this way. After thinking about it for several days and nights, he roughly guessed the intention of the thief, but he didn't know whether it was right or not. This matter was serious and he dared not make any decisions. He has reported it to the Grand Mansion since he reported it."

Xu Ping looked at Fan Xiang and asked after a while: "Are you afraid that the thieves will use this method to try to find fake money in Qinzhou?"

"Yes, they sent so many people to do this in the country, so they can only explain this way, otherwise it would not make sense. The news from the foreign land that the good days they brought about when printing paper money have passed, and now the prices have soared, and ordinary people don't need any extra money at all. Now the Haozhe used the banknotes to plunder wealth and levied the wealthy chiefs to the subordinates, which has dropped from about 50% to 20% of the beginning to 20% or 30%, which is only two or three hundred yuan when the money on the currency was collected. Even so, the noble chiefs could no longer spend it and forced their stakes to their own tribe, and they were still suffering. It was not the way they received it with 50% or 60% a few months ago. If the thief wanted to solve this dilemma, they could only find a way to use extra money to buy goods in our country."

"Under our strict control, how much money can they spend on doing this? They are afraid they will still find a way."

Fan Xiang nodded: "The Grand Mansion is right, and the officials think so. Of course, they can't spend money on the money, but if they can print money, they can print our money. No matter how fake the printing is, many ordinary people still cannot identify it. This time they figured out where they were and what goods they bought could use fake money. I am afraid that people will not bring money next time they come."

"Yes, next time I come, I should bring fake money from this dynasty." Xu Ping leaned on the back of the chair with his eyebrows deeply locked. "Now Hao Thief is afraid that he is crazy about poverty. As the autumn is coming, the war is about to begin, and he has no time to change the course. These evil ways are Hao Thief's life-saving straw, how can we not use it? To prevent all the Qinzhou territory from being harmed by fake money, the price we pay is too high. Just think of a solution. What are your ideas for judging?"

Fan Xiang bowed and said, "I have two strategies, each with its pros and cons. I also ask the Grand Mansion to decide. One strategy is to arrest all the people who have been found to be sent by the thieves, and then behead them in the downtown area after interrogation! One is to make the people alert, and the other is to let the thieves get lost. The other strategy is to pretend not to know, put the people back, send out powerful people, and remember the appearance of these people. Although these people have different appearances, they are sent by thieves, uniformly, clothing, speaking, eating, drinking, and some small habits. There is always the same place. We strictly select personnel, and when the thieves send people to bring fake money, it will be easier to deal with it."

It is easy to arrest people. After Qinzhou merged the tent into a village, there was no foreign land near the city, and the government's control was not comparable before. Although there were merchants from all over Qinzhou, they began to register and register as soon as they entered the state border, and were under the supervision of the Qinzhou government. Suddenly, many foreigners with big money came, which were not unfamiliar with people, and soon they would be exposed.

But what Xu Ping was worried about was that Dangxiang sent people to use fake money in Qinzhou, but could not block the way they printed money. If someone in the country colluded with thieves and secretly transported the fake money they printed in the Song Dynasty, it would still cause a lot of chaos. This is a border area, and there are many foreign countries. Xu Ping could let the three officials engage in smuggling trade with Dangxiang, so naturally others would take this path.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Ping said: "The first strategy is not feasible. Not to mention whether we can catch people cleanly. Even if all of them are imprisoned and beheaded, the thieves can continue to send people. It's just that the rules are unclear. So, you send someone to find an excuse to catch three or two people and carefully investigate the whole story. We have a clear idea of ​​the matter and put the others back. Then we will post the list of counties, villages and villages. Because we found that there were bad people in the country who used money to cheat people's goods, rural areas were not allowed to use paper money. If there were paper money in their hands, they would go to the bank to exchange it for copper coins and iron coins. A large transaction was taken by Li Zheng and the bookkeeper to the bank for delivery."

Fan Xiang nodded: "There are no large transactions in rural areas on weekdays, so there are not many banknotes used. There are many banknotes in the house, and it is not difficult to deposit money in the bank. However, the county towns cannot use paper money for a while, otherwise there will be too many troubles caused by this. There are many things to do to prevent thieves from using fake money."

"It's not a long-term solution." Xu Ping felt a headache. When Zhang Yuan was printing paper money at the beginning, he resisted not printing their fake money to cause trouble to Dangxiang, but was afraid that once this end was opened, Dangxiang would follow suit and cause trouble in the future. However, he did not expect that Dangxiang was forced to come up with this method, which made people difficult to deal with. It is not difficult to limit fake money. There is a bank network that has been spread out, and the banknotes in the Song Dynasty were made of special paper and special ink, which was difficult to imitate. As long as it was discovered, it would be fine if it was severely punished. The current difficulty is that Qinzhou is located in the border area, and you can't even do it if you print it there. There are many foreign lands in the territory, and there are also foreign areas west of Longxi County called Jimi, which are difficult to manage.

Xu Ping attaches great importance to the credit of the Song Dynasty paper money, and has now begun to penetrate into the Western Regions. If there is a small country there who dares to use Dangxiang to print fake money privately, Xu Ping does not mind launching a war to destroy the country. But now he is fighting Dangxiang so hard that you can't destroy him for a while. If he prints fake money, you have no choice. This is disgusting. Even if you can strictly guard the areas directly under Qinzhou, the Song Dynasty paper money will lose its credit in places outside the direct jurisdiction.

After thinking about it, Xu Ping said to Fan Xiang: "The thieves have no better way to deal with it. Let's go back and arrange to temporarily shrink the use of paper money in Qinzhou. In addition to bulk transactions, you should use copper coins and iron coins. When bulk transactions are as much as possible, you should arrange them to the bank for delivery. Who dares to receive fake money beheadings? I will report to the court immediately and send some people to the banks in Qinzhou to deal with it. Also, a few days ago, Sang Yi reported that there were a lot of gold, silver, copper, and iron ore seedlings where his Xuanwei Army was stationed. Now during the war, I didn't want to build mines and smelting there, but I just asked him to send troops to protect the mine seedlings and wait until after the war. Now that the thieves have this brain, copper coins and iron coins are in urgent need of them. I will ask the court to set up a mining supervisor, a money supervisor, and a minting supervisor to solve the urgent problem."

Sang Yi stationed as the mountain basin that came out of the Roulang Mountain base, which happened to be a rich mining area in the northwest. Xu Ping's previous life became the most prosperous place in the area, and it became the most prosperous place in the area. The ancient city such as Huizhou for thousands of years is under its jurisdiction. rw
