Chapter 909 Such huge profits!
Spending money is becoming more and more charming. This guy who is fascinated by beauty and money will sometimes turn into a hard nut. After all, he will not make any money in his life, but he has left wealth to his descendants. So, do you want to take this life?
It doesn't matter anymore.
No, while Qiu Shenji was drinking water, the man bit off the tip of his tongue. If the internal guards hadn't stopped him in time, this guy's life would have been wiped out. The angry Qiu Shenji pointed at his stomach and
Made up for the two feet.
The leader of the criminals was seriously injured, and the situation under control of the small men was limited. This forced the internal guards to change the direction of the investigation and follow the method of Li Chengqian and Changsun Chongti - crossing the river by feeling the stones and starting all over again.
However, this may not be a good start. The still water in Chang'an and the nine surrounding counties is not as peaceful as it seems. If the mold case had not occurred, the government would not have noticed the copper products and scattered copper products on the market.
On copper coins.
During the investigation, it was found that in the past year, the supply of copperware in the entire Guanzhong region exceeded demand. As long as it was placed on the counter, it would be snapped up by business travelers from various countries. No matter how much money was spent, there would never be a counter-offer. This attracted a lot of interest in Guanzhong copperware.
Prices are rising rapidly.
Therefore, all the merchants who produced copperware in Guanzhong applied to the local government for additional purchases of copper materials. This was profitable for the merchants, increased tax revenue for the government, and promoted commercial exchanges with other countries.
Three good things.
Therefore, each government department also reported that one department had requested permission to add copper materials. It was precisely because of the availability of these copper materials that the price of copperware on the market continued to fall. Many vendors who were hoarding it had to take credit and had to sell at the current price.
Get out and stop losses in time.
According to the statistics of the internal guards, in this short year, the amount of copper materials approved by various governments alone amounted to hundreds of thousands of kilograms. Adding in the original copperware on the market, it is estimated that there are half a million kilograms of copper.
It weighs a lot of kilograms, so it can be seen how big this Jianluoer is, and it cannot be said that it is not a big deal.
In the East Palace - Mingde Palace, Changsun Chong and the other three brought the existing files and physical evidence to make a detailed report to the prince. Especially the physical evidence collected by Changsun Chong in cooperation with Jingzhao Mansion was enough to prove that the matter was out of control.
to the point where even the slightest carelessness can arouse strong public outrage.
"Prince, six coppers and four lead are the ancient method. The formulas for minting coins in all dynasties are basically the same. This is out of respect for the ancestors. It is also a measure that is beneficial to the country and the people. It has been carefully considered.
, this is not my unique policy!”
"At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the country was weak, so no one proposed to increase the proportion of lead to alleviate the financial constraints of annual military use. However, Emperor Taiwu knew that this opening would destroy the ancient politics of thousands of years.
The country will never have peace. Although the handwriting will be a little blurred over the years, it is true that the shortcomings of money laws can be eliminated to the greatest extent."
After Qiu Shenji finished speaking, Zhao Jie took over: "Yes, what Lao Qiu said is reasonable. I checked it specifically and found that this kind of voice was mainly concentrated in the fifth to ninth years of Wude. Here.
During this period, in addition to fighting against the anti-kings in various places, the imperial court also wanted to restore the national economy and people's livelihood in various places, so it was considered a family opinion at the time, and there were many officials who agreed with this argument."
"Your Highness, you see, these newly copied old coins from the Taketoku Dynasty have very clear handwriting and are heavier than usual. Take the same two coins as an example, if I don't know the clear coins
Even if the money is fake, I will definitely choose to keep it and store it. After all, its advantage is that it can be stored for a long time!"
What Zhao Jie said is very interesting and very practical. Whether it is a noble gentry or an ordinary person, anyone who has savings will choose to keep the better-quality ones and spend the unclear ones to avoid losses to their property.
, this is human nature.
There is also a lot of coins in the treasury of the East Palace. Every spring, the Crown Princess will instruct the palace people to clean them up to prevent the coins from being scrapped due to problems with the copper embroidery. Li Chengqian saw with his own eyes how troublesome it is to clean up the mountains of copper coins.
So I agree with what Zhao Jie said.
But it is precisely this kind of money making that can be most easily exploited. No matter what kind of family they are, they will try to save trouble and put them aside when cleaning up. This shows how deep the counterfeiters' thoughts are.
Man's laziness and calculation run deep into his bones.
"What's even more terrifying is that by using this method to refining the copperware on the market into making money, they can gain 30% to 40% more income, and then exchange it for real gold and silver. This method is naked and honest.
To plunder the people’s fat and their anointing.”
"This method of amassing money is quick. They have now caught a big fish with a small profit. They take it first and then give it back. Their intentions are cunning and their methods are quick. They are indeed a rare opponent. This time the Neiwei and Jingzhao Mansion
I secretly caught a few people distributing this kind of money, and I plan to use them to fish out the big snake behind them."
"So even though we knew that they were distributing a large amount of counterfeit money, I didn't dare to alert the snake, for fear that this cunning fox would cut the kite string short by itself, and if we failed to steal the chicken, we would lose the rice. Today, besides reporting for approval, I and the others
Plan, please restrain the troops stationed outside the place where the incident occurred, and more importantly, please make preparations for the aftermath."
Changsun Chong was very worried about this. These money-making products showed that they had already started production, and the counterfeit money-making had spread throughout Guanzhong. Even if they caught all the thieves, the court would still suffer huge losses, and it might even trigger a civil uprising.
.
If there is any civil unrest in Guanzhong or near Chang'an, the court will not be able to protect it. It will bring ashes to the glorious Zhenguan era. Not only will the emperor's face be difficult for him, but the prince will also be unable to explain it. After all, Gyeonggi Province
The governor of the Yamen is someone from the East Palace.
"Well, I understand what you mean. We didn't think about this consequence when we were debating the case. What can we do if something goes wrong? It will happen next. Thinking too much will only increase troubles. What should you do? What should you do? How to deal with the aftermath?
You can come up with a solution alone, and just leave it to Your Majesty. Don’t put so much pressure on your heart."
"This business is good. The profits are huge and the risks are low and difficult to detect. The profit is comparable to destroying a small country. You can't make money by playing with a knife but by opportunism. If Gu is not the prince, he will have to get involved in such a business. You guys
Say so?"
Li Chengqian is trying to reduce the burden on the three of them. It is true that the situation is serious, but this pustule cannot be broken unless it is squeezed. The loss is huge, but it cannot be accommodated. This is like a hole in a dam. If you don't block it in time, the hole will be broken.
It can only get bigger and bigger and more difficult to deal with, so he can only let Chang Sun Chong and others go into battle lightly and take all the problems on himself.
As for what to do and what to do to minimize the losses, first, it depends on the results of Chang Sun Chong and others, and the other depends on the judgment of professionals. He needs to discuss it with Yousi before he can know. Now is not the time to worry.
