Chen Qiancheng took a pen and wrote down the workshop where he had privately cast fake money. Within a cup of tea, he finished writing it and handed the paper to Zhu Biao with both hands.

If Baochao is standardized, the next thing is commercial law and standardized management.

Zhu Biao swept over and said with a smile: "You are doing a good job."

"I'm just afraid that my old knife, Chen Qiancheng, will be cut off from Changqing Money House."

Zhu Biao: "If that's the case, I will consider sending some Beijing troops to vent my anger for you."

Chen Qiancheng laughed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is humorous. Those usury thugs are ordinary warriors and scoundrels. The government is in charge of the matter, so they dare not be presumptuous."

...

Under the bright yellow trouser legs were Lao Zhu's feet, soaked in a wooden basin, and Mao Xiang and Lu Zhong stood next to them.

Old Zhu put his hands on his knees, raised his eyes and said, "Tell us everything, without missing a word."

"When you go back to your Majesty, some people are only willing to use copper coins and broken silver, but they are not willing to use treasure money. We trade with vendors of different sizes. They are all openly treasure money, but in private...copper coins."

"The quality of copper coins is not good, and many copper coins from the previous dynasty were circulated, and even ancient copper coins were circulated."

"The Baoyuan Bureau in Nanzhili and Baoquan Bureaus in various places have been found to have been privately cast by officials. Please check the list of evidence of the crime." Mao Xiang took out the news collected by the Jinyiwei from his arms.

Lao Zhu knew very well that although Hongwu Tongbao was cast, there were not many copper coins in general, and a considerable number of copper coins were stored in the national treasury and had been withdrawn from circulation.

In recent years, he has only relied on official minting coins. Although he explicitly prohibited the private casting of copper coins, he actually has tacitly agreed to the private coins.

As long as it does not affect circulation, he acquiesced these things, but it is impossible for him to acquiesced now.

He was very fond of the eldest grandson, and the child could no longer have anything to do, and Biao'er revealed what he always avoided.

"Go to the East Palace to pass on the prince immediately."

"Yes, your Majesty."

When Zhu Biao arrived, Lao Zhu was soaking his feet.

"Mao Xiang and the others brought it back, look."

A thick stack of paper with some copper coins and ancient coins on it. Zhu Biao opened it and found that it was a list of the Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau of Nanzhili.

This Jinyiwei is very efficient in doing things.

"Biao'er, this matter is indeed as you said, we should take care of it."

Zhu Biao nodded, walked to Yu and took the cloth in his hand, and handed it to Lao Zhu: "Although private money has small benefits, it is circulating, which is a great threat to the official minting. Let's continue to implement the ban on private minting."

"Let's say, you write it, and then write it into the Ministry of Justice." Lao Zhu waved his hand and asked Yu Yimo to ink: "Anyone who has been minted for many years will be sentenced to death by his family, the court confiscated his family's property and fined him ten thousand taels.

The first casting person used a hundred kilograms of shackles for one month. The family members of the civilian craftsmen and workers were sent to the border for 40 years to reclaim wasteland and confiscated land.

Those who are in the matter, those who buy and sell are one level lower than those who are in the death penalty, and wear shackles for one month.

The informant and the capturer are all rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

Those who know but do not repay will have a hundred sticks.

If the copper coins are cut incorrectly, they are inferior and small, and those who use copper coins to seek profit will have a hundred sticks.

I am willing to take the initiative to hand over privately cast copper coins, and 190 ounces of official coins per kilogram will be purchased by the court..."

Zhu Biao wrote more than 100 pieces, but Lao Zhu continued to talk, and it was already past midnight after finishing writing.

"Unified the size of copper coins, the others are as written in your restructuring. After the establishment of Tongbaoxing, the incomplete treasure banknotes and old banknotes in various places will be exchanged according to the face value, and insist on keeping trustworthy." Zhu Biao said.

"Yes." Lao Zhu said.

"When recycling some of the treasure banknotes, they will never issue them at will. The Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoquan Bureau are unified in the manufacturing of copper coins, and the minting and issuance shall be stipulated, and silver shall be used as the basic currency.

The three major currencies are controlled by the court and strictly guarded, and those who violate the violation will be killed."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he frowned and said to Zhu Biao: "We are sure of this. But how to calculate the expenses when it comes to straight roads?"

"Don't worry, this father, my son will definitely solve it."

Lao Zhu: "How about anti-counterfeiting? We are worried about this."

"The court monopolized copper and iron and other materials and traded with copper products. If the law was promulgated, those who dared to commit crimes would be exiled for thousands of miles to reclaim wasteland. If the mould of a coin was forged, they would be exiled for two years. The participating craftsmen punished the crime.

Drawing on the Wang Mang era, the anti-counterfeiting method of 5,000 yuan was used to prevent the counterfeiting of money by the National Academy of Scholars, and to make materials that are not available to the people, so as to prevent the privately owned currency materials and make the counterfeiters unable to start."

Making money writing on money is written by calligraphers and celebrities. Each person has a unique font and is different in shape and difficult to imitate.

To prevent anyone from practicing money writing, we must also control the raw materials for minting.

The outer contour is cast on the copper coins, and a circle of special materials are added to the outer periphery of the coin. The convex contour that is not easy to be polished continuously improves the reliability of the copper coins.

Baochao uses special banknote paper, such as cotton, and this process is developed by the National Academy of Staff, which is smooth, wear-resistant and fold-resistant. The printing technology is also continuously improved by the National Academy of Staff.

The imperial court must conduct the issuance of treasure money according to the circumstances and cannot be issued at will. Tongbaoxing must be spread throughout the imperial court and always guarantee coins.

In the weekly newspaper of the Ming Dynasty, anti-counterfeiting identification methods are popularized to make the people feel at ease.”

Zhu Biao finished speaking in one breath: "The National Academy of Military Affairs has now 350 academicians, distributed in all walks of life and undergoing strict inspections.

As my son knows, this pound of raw copper is minted with 160 coins. You cannot ignore the copper coins just because of issuing treasure banknotes, which will inspire the people's confidence in using it."

Zhu Biao said a lot in one breath: "Tongbaoxing is directly managed by the central government of the court."

Many banks that can be used in later generations can be anti-counterfeiting by Tongbaoxing, which can be carried out by the National Academy of Scholars.

Lao Zhu: "What if someone from the National Academy of Military Affairs has fed his personal pockets? What about the leak?"

Zhu Biao: "If you master the process separately, you cannot understand all the processes alone. The academicians who participated in the anti-counterfeiting and material development also live in the family building behind the National Academy of Justice. You must not mention it when you go home, otherwise you will be felony."

"I will write it down and I will discuss it tomorrow morning." Lao Zhu looked at Tianse: "Go back, so that your mother will think that we will do anything to you."

"No hurry, what is the matter of private usury, and the matter of private minting of copper coins? What is the father planning to deal with?"

Lao Zhu: "Tomorrow, the court will approve the approval, so we will order the arrest of workshops that privately cast copper coins and treasure coins in Nanzhili and various prefectures, and all of them will be arrested.

Zhu Biao: "No, we should arrest and investigate tonight. No matter what, private money minting, usury, etc. must be strictly investigated and dealt with."

"It's reasonable. I will immediately pass on our orders. We must eradicate the roots and investigate them thoroughly."

...

In Nanjing City Street, officers and soldiers ran quickly through the alleys in the city, holding a string of lists given on it.

The gate of Changqing Money House was photographed open...

Then there is the gambling house...

...

More than a dozen doors were photographed open.

Officials from Baoyuan Bureau were kept under conviction.

The next day, morning court.

No one objected to the reform of Baochao. Everyone thought it was feasible and carried out a subdivision and reform.

"Now, people who forged copper coins in treasure money have the masterminds, and there are many conspirators. There are also silversmiths secretly repairing tin plates, with clear textures, paper and horse printing households, co-conspirators to print and print, and the division of labor is clear. Those who commit crimes include Changqing Money House, Xingle Gambling House, and Liu's Iron Shop..."

After the court came, Zhu Biao, Yang Xian, Li Shanchang, academicians of the National Academy of Scholars, Hu Weiyong, Zhang Yi and Song Lian... went to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters again.
