The emergence of paper money is a leap in the entire financial history. Its easy-to-carry feature has greatly promoted the development of the commodity economy and has also been adopted by all countries in the world.?????                                                           w?w     w?

?c?n? However, paper money was once unfortunately a weapon in the hands of dictators who tried to dominate the world. It is not new to use fake money as a weapon of war. It is not new to use fake money as a weapon of war.

As Zhao Bing knows, Napoleon approved the printing of counterfeit Austrian and Russian paper money; during the American Civil War, the north and the south also widely used fake bills to attack the enemy's financial system. During the Second World War, many countries participated, including Germany and Japan, with plans to use counterfeit currency to attack hostile countries as an important weapon to destroy the enemy's economy.

Germany mainly cracked down on Britain. The total amount of counterfeit currency produced by special counterfeit currency factories in one month at peak period exceeded 8 million pounds. Some of the counterfeit currency produced was airdropped into the UK, and the other part was used to support the Nazis' large number of "secret operations", such as assassination, bribery, purchase of weapons, etc. By the end of the war, one-third of the pound circulating in the world was counterfeit currency, so that counterfeit currency factories were called the "Bank of England" of the Third Reich of Germany. The flood of counterfeit currency increased the inflation rate in Britain, and the storm-like attack on its economy, causing incalculable losses. Britain only completely cleared the impact of counterfeit currency in the 1970s.

After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the 6th Provincial and the 6th Army General Staff Headquarters specially formulated an economic strategy plan for China, with the purpose of "destroying the fiat currency system of the Republic of China regime, and then disrupting China's domestic economy and destroying China's wartime economic capabilities. During those arduous days, China not only needed to resist the attack of the Japanese army with equipment advantages, but also guarded against the secret tricks from various fields. The counterfeit currency circulating on China's land not only caused inflation, but also provided huge funds for Japan's crazy plunder of resources and various means of production, which put the Chinese economy in trouble and greatly damaged the interests of the people...

Zhao Bing is familiar with these dark history and is also aware of the dangers and methods. It is not a big effort to convince Zhuang Shilin to participate. He feels extremely proud that he does not need to go to battle to kill the enemy, but can cause heavy damage to the Tartars, and it is a very honorable thing to be able to participate in such a great project under the leadership of His Highness. With the support of his experts, Zhao Bing agreed with him to implement the policy of implementing the easy first and then difficult first, gradually expanding and safety first.

Start with the familiar ones, first print a batch of Huizi to exchange for Zhongtong banknotes, and then exchange most of them into gold and silver, and a small part is used to spend and purchase urgently needed materials. This is considered that the banknotes have just been implemented in Jiangnan, and some preferential policies will inevitably be introduced to encourage the people and merchants to exchange them. Moreover, in order to welcome the large-scale exchange of gold and silver in the quasi-gold warehouse, they will definitely have sufficient gold and silver, and there will be no unforgettable things.

Another reason is that we are very familiar with Huizi. The template is easy to make, and banknotes and ink are easy to get, and it is easy to get started. However, the Mongolian banknotes are very different from those of the Song Dynasty. What Zhao Bing said is relatively easy. Mongolians are not stupid, and of course they will absorb the problem of counterfeit currency flooding encountered when Song Jinxing banknotes. Therefore, while formulating severe punishment laws to punish, they also try to fundamentally eliminate counterfeit banknotes. This requires making a trick. If the banknotes are made too simple, it is very easy to imitate. Therefore, they must be made complicated so that they are not easy to be imitated.

Think about the ancient times, there were no watermarks, and paper money was only hand-printed. If the paper money was made too simple, there was only the denomination and the seal of the court, which was very easy to imitate. Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, we would find a way from paper and patterns. Since the materials used for paper money were special and required government approval to use, the probability of counterfeit banknotes was effectively reduced in terms of materials. If you could buy paper money all over the street, counterfeiters could print counterfeit banknotes without any effort. If you want to print banknotes that are difficult for the people to counterfeit, you had to design patterns and patterns with more difficult patterns, so that it would not be easy to imitate. The patterns printed on paper money were complicated, so even if you were copied in front of you, it would be difficult to achieve.

The paper used by Mongolians for coin production is also made of special paper made in special workshops. This paper is made of mulberry bark and added with appropriate amount of cotton and linen plant fiber. The paper is thick, straight, flexible, wear-resistant, and water-resistant. The disadvantage is that the color is dull, gray-black. If the printing and printing technology are not well mastered, the banknotes will appear blurred and the pattern will become dull. This paper is produced in Sichuan, where smuggling must be planned and arranged under the rule of the Mongolians and cannot be obtained in time. Platemaking is not something that can be done every day. Even if it cannot be made exactly the same, at least it must have a nine-point image to hide it from the eyes of the world.

It was precisely based on the above difficulties that Zhao Bing decided to walk on both legs, first use the exchange of Huizi as an opportunity to test the waters, complete the establishment of the institution, open up channels, and make the first pot of gold, and at the same time disrupt the Jiangnan currency market, making the exchange of Zhongtong Banknotes and Huizi unsustainable, thus destroying the Mongols' attempt to control the Jiangnan economy. At the same time, he began to imitate the template of Zhongtong Banknotes and trial-made or purchased special papers needed for printing money. Once successful, he would immediately put it on the market and take the opportunity to use counterfeit coins to purchase materials to supplement the shortcomings of Qiongzhou.

The entry of a large number of counterfeit currency into the market will cause the Zhongtong Bank to depreciate rapidly, increase the value of gold and silver, and make it lose its credit in the Jiangnan market, making it more difficult for the Zhongtong Bank to gain a foothold in the Jiangnan market, or form a situation where several currencies coexist. The final result is that the Jiangbei market is also affected, and prices soar, forcing the Yuan court to rely on to maintain the market, causing national inflation...

"Your Highness, our General Bureau has a lot of people talking, so it is very inconvenient to handle this matter, right?" Zhuang Shilin said hesitantly.

"Well, the General Administration is indeed inconvenient to preside over this matter, so it will be handled by the Ministry of Affairs Bureau of the Inner Government and will be assisted by your General Administration. How about it?" Zhao Bing knew of course that such a thing should not be known to outsiders, and it should be kept confidential from the inside. The fewer people involved, the better. The Bureau of Affairs is the most secret department at present, and some things must be handled by them. Since they cannot get over it, it is best to pull it in.

"Your Highness is very smart. The Affairs Bureau has several caravans and shops. It is much more convenient for them to handle this matter." Zhuang Shilin once participated in the affairs of the Affairs Bureau's arrangement of the suspicion in Guangzhou. He knew some inside information, and of course he agreed with Your Highness's arrangement.
