I want to be a grandson

Chapter 528 Attacking Ma He

"Your Majesty, please see Mahe."

"Ma He? Tell him to come in."

In the hall, Zhu Yunxi was dealing with government affairs. Hearing this, he stopped the pen in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.

"My minister Ma He pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan An!" Ma He came to the hall and respectfully knelt down to salute.

"Well, get up."

Zhu Yunxi walked towards the side hall, wanting to walk around, want to exercise his muscles and bones,
He said at the same time: "I heard that you have done a good job in the Shibo Department, and you have put up your airs. Did you come back this time to ask me for a reward, or to ask for help?"

Ma He followed behind, holding back the urgency in his heart and cooperating with a smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything I do is in accordance with His Majesty's will, and I can't claim credit for it. I dare not ask for credit.
I dare not ask His Majesty for more grace. Since Your Majesty has handed over the Shibo Department to the humble minister, if you still worry about everything, it is the incompetence of the humble minister. "

Zhu Yunxi turned around and smiled at Wang Zhong: "Hehehe, good, Wang Zhong, you should learn a little bit. When it comes to flattering skills, you are still very good. You can shoot calmly, and make people feel like a spring breeze..."

Wang Zhong on the side said in a timely manner: "The slaves are learning, and when they are finished, they will surely make the emperor feel at ease..."

But Ma He hurriedly said: "I don't dare, what I do is my responsibility, I do my job well, I don't dare to disappoint His Majesty Long En, but I didn't deliberately flatter..."

When he came to the side hall, Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair, pointed to the brocade stool beside him, and signaled Ma He to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ma He sat down after bowing his hands.

Now that he has been released from slavery, he is an official of the Ming Dynasty and no longer a slave in the palace. His status has been greatly changed, so he can sit down under the emperor's kindness.

Although Wang Zhong had a high status, he was still the courtier next to Zhu Yunxi, so naturally he had no reason to sit opposite his master.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Since the Shibo Department has been established, it is not appropriate for you to be a small official. Find an opportunity to give you another promotion."

"Your Majesty, the servants have already shed their humble status and become officials of the Ming Dynasty. This is already an unimaginable extravagance. How dare you be dissatisfied."

Zhu Yunxi shook his hands and said, "How can a [-]th-rank official command the Shibo Department? Right now, the Shibo Department has nothing to do, so there's nothing else to do.
It's okay. When there is a big event, who can obey you as a ninth-rank official?Who can you command? "

"Besides, the higher your official position, the lower people can be promoted, so that they will have a bright future, and you will soon be busy, so you won't always be so idle.
Wang Zhong told Qi Tai that Mu Mahe, the official of Shibo, had made meritorious service in the tributes of various countries, and he should be upgraded by two ranks first. "

"Yes, the servant obeyed..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma He quickly saluted and thanked him.

For His Majesty's kindness, Ma Hetian was very touched. The great improvement in himself and his family is all a blessing from God!

Zhu Yunxi talked with Ma He for a while, Ma He saw that he was in a very good mood and high interest, so he couldn't bear to destroy this harmonious atmosphere.

And Ma He's hesitation and his reluctance to speak were also noticed by Zhu Yunxi, and he smiled and said, "I came to see that you have something to report? Tell me, what happened?"

In such an atmosphere, what can make Ma He hesitate is definitely not good news.

"His Majesty……"

Ma He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, when I was ordered to assist Wang Yi in investigating whether the businessman was connected with the Japanese, I discovered...fake silver coins..."

As he spoke, he took out two silver coins from his bosom, and offered them to him with both hands.

"Get out so soon?"

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised, but he was not angry. He took it to check the color, and weighed it again, but he didn't blow it to see if it would buzz.

Because when he was making silver coins, he had already figured it out, and he naturally understood how much the ratio would be. The two silver coins in his hand were obviously of wrong quality, although he had never seen a special measurement,

But for Zhu Yunxi, who has studied silver coins for many days and is considered a half-expert, he can roughly see the silver content of the counterfeit coins in his hand.

"Well, at most [-]% of the silver is used. The silver in this one is just over [-]% and the face value is one tael. Even at the normal price, you can earn more than [-]%... This is double the profit."

"Your Majesty Shengming..."

After picking up Ma He, he roughly talked about how Wang Yi tracked down the young man named Gao Yuan, and how Wang Yi discovered the counterfeit money.

Finally, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, after Wang Yi found out about the counterfeit money, he immediately asked people to closely monitor the cloth shop, and at the same time sent people to investigate their details...

Both Wei Chen and Wang Yi felt that since the other party dared to give him a counterfeit currency for a face-to-face customer, either the other party had nothing to fear, or the people below were greedy for profit and filled their pockets, and wanted to cash out the counterfeit currency as soon as possible..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded. He understands the people's love and pursuit of silver coins. Now everyone is excited and willing to buy even if the price is premium.

At this time, the more counterfeit coins are sold, the more they will earn. If the silver coins of the Ming Dynasty are popularized and there are a huge number of them in circulation, no one will want the counterfeit coins!
Moreover, having seen real coins, seeing the exquisiteness of silver coins, and knowing how to distinguish authenticity from fake coins, people will spot fake coins at a glance!

When the time comes, everyone will be screaming and beating, so what profit is there?

So the other party is now anxious to make money and make a move, which is also reasonable.

Zhu Yunxie ordered: "You and Wang Yi continue to investigate and find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible. I don't want the silver coins of the Ming Dynasty to be popular, but everyone has counterfeit coins!
Anyone should check it out!I really want to see who dares to disregard the court's laws, who dares to provoke the court at this time! "

Zhu Yunxi understands that sooner or later there will be counterfeit money, as long as it is a profitable way, some people will never be willing to be lonely!

But he didn't expect it to appear so quickly!
The Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry has just minted the first batch of silver coins, but the other party has imitated them!

Although a lot of wealth can be obtained at this time, it is enough to see how unscrupulous the other party is and how much he despises the court!

Because it has only been a few months since the imperial court issued a strict order to ban counterfeit money!

How dare they commit crimes against the wind!

Either he was a desperado who didn't care about his life, or he didn't pay attention to the court at all!
In other words, he didn't take himself, the new king seriously!

This is the first major policy after he ascended the throne in the first year of Xuanwu. They dare to confront themselves and demolish themselves.
I don't know how to live or die!
"Ma He, how do you think the court should deal with the counterfeit money now?"

Ma He saluted and said: "Your Majesty, why do you think that the imperial court should reiterate the strict prohibition of private casting at this time, and those who privately cast and a large number of holders will be punished,
In addition, the Dibao should be widely distributed, telling how to distinguish the authenticity of silver coins, so that people all over the world know about this, so that they will not be deceived.
In addition, the common people should be encouraged to report private casting to the government..."

Ma He said a few suggestions that he had planned in his mind. These suggestions were all good and effective, and Zhu Yunxi ordered someone to record them.

He ordered: "Send what Ma He said to the Secretary of General Administration, and let them draw up a notice based on it, and spread it all over the world!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

Zhu Yunxi had someone summon Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei,

After Jiang Yu saluted, he heard His Majesty say to him: "Ma He found out that someone minted Daming silver coins privately, did you Jin Yiwei hear about this?"

Jiang Yu's heart trembled, and his scalp felt cold for a moment. Someone minted silver coins privately? !

This matter... Jin Yiwei really didn't know!
He didn't dare to shirk, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and pleaded guilty: "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the facts.

At this moment, Jiang Yu really wished that he could immediately chop up the smuggled man into meat paste!If you don't kill the thief, you will be the one who dies!

It is not the first time that His Majesty has been dissatisfied. Who dares to expect the emperor to be big enough to tolerate the mistakes of his subordinates?
"As Jin Yiwei, you should know your responsibilities!"

"My minister is guilty, death is not a pity, please appease your majesty..." Jiang Yu could only prostrate on the ground, terrified.

"If there is a next time, you can retire from your old age and return to your hometown..."

Jiang Yu's cold sweat broke out in an instant, soaking his flying fish suit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Retire and return home?
Don't say that you are not old, even if you are really old, do you dare to sue your old age and return to your hometown?

The courtiers I dealt with before, as well as their relatives and friends, as well as those who did not deal with me, will immediately go up and tear myself apart!
Losing status is equivalent to losing the lives of the whole family!
"Starting today, order Jin Yiwei to secretly visit various places in Ming Dynasty to see who dares to mint counterfeit coins privately! If it leaks out in the end, you don't know..."

Jiang Yu hurriedly said: "Jin Yiwei will be loyal and will never disappoint His Majesty's entrustment!"

This must never happen again!
Jin Yiwei, as the emperor's eyes and ears, should have been the first to know about some illegal things, and the first to present them to His Majesty.

If the matter has already been made public and the common people know about it only after they realize it, is there still a need for it to exist?

Even if His Majesty wants to use it, he will definitely pass Jin Yiwei through the sieve!It's a sieve made with a murderous knife!How many people do not necessarily have to die!
Zhu Yunxie cast a glance at him, and ordered: "Besides, you assist Ma He in handling this case!"

"Yes, I obey!"

So it is not the case that I assist myself, but as long as the matter is resolved smoothly, I can get some credit.
And now, I don't have the qualifications to fight for the master.

After leaving the palace gate, Jiang Yu politely bowed to Ma He, who was traveling with him, and said: "My lord, I will assist you in investigating the case, and please take care of me."

As soon as the two of them came into contact, he put his position in the right place and never dared to fight for credit at this time.

"Master Jiang is polite."

Ma He said: "This time I will have Mr. Lao and his subordinate Jin Yiwei. I thank you in advance. I dare not stay any longer. I want to return immediately. Mr. Jiang..."

Jiang Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ordered Jin Yiwei to check all parts of Daming to see if there are any such evils, so I need to go back to the Jin Yiwei Yamen to set up tasks, it won't take much time... Please wait a moment, sir, and then I will go with you how?"

He is determined to follow Ma He, who knows if Wang Yi has discovered anything, if Ma He goes back early and finds out, then his credit will be lost!

Ma He knew what he was thinking, and agreed without provoking it. Besides, it wasn't really short of a moment,
In the future, when investigating cases, we will have to rely on Jin Yiwei. After all, Lun Dao acts in secret, and he is the master!

In addition, His Majesty asked Jin Yiwei to assist, and he couldn't leave them aside, so there would inevitably be rifts between them.

Jiang Yu was very happy for Ma He's understanding, and apologized again and again, and then used his own money to arrange him in the upper room of the best inn to let him have a rest first.
In fact, Ma He was still in the mood to rest, but since it was Jiang Yu's kind intentions, he didn't refuse too much after he shied away.

When cooperating, don't be too rigid.

Then Jiang Yu rushed to Jinyiwei Yamen non-stop, assigned tasks to them, and beat his subordinates hard,
Afterwards, they joined Ma He, and the two of them went on the road together, speeding up their horses.

"Coriander, spicy peppers, scallions, young celery, lentils, eggplants, winter melons, sea eggplants, radishes, carrots, radish, young Chinese toon, garlic, leeks!"

A vegetable vendor was walking in the alley pushing a small cart full of various vegetables.

Walking and hawking, the voice is clear and rhythmic.

Passing by a house, the vegetable vendor stopped his trolley and knocked on the courtyard door, and an old woman in her 60s and [-]s came out.
"What do you sell? Do you have leeks? I want to make dumplings for my children at noon..."

"Yes, yes, look here, it's fresh, it was just cut this morning, fresh and crisp, without even a single yellow leaf..." The peddler greeted warmly.

"Well, let me see..."

The old woman was picking leeks, and the peddler asked from the side: "Ma'am, how many people are there in your family? The leeks are fresh. If you buy too much, you can't eat it. If you buy too little, you can't eat it. It must be just right." ..."

The old woman also felt the same reason, so she said: "This is the home of my youngest son. There are two older grandsons in the family, and the half-old grandson eats the poor old man, and there is a little girl..."

"Hey, you are full of children and grandchildren, you are a blessed person..."

The peddler looked inside through the door he opened, and saw a five or six-year-old girl kicking a shuttlecock, and she responded with a naive and romantic smile when she saw someone approaching.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the peddler's eyes, but it quickly dissipated. Pointing to the dim sum box at the corner of the cart, he said to the old woman, "Ma'am, I still sell dim sum, do you want it?"

As soon as the old woman heard it, she quickly blocked it with her body, lest the little girl in the yard saw it, and when she turned around and saw her kicking the shuttlecock, she didn't notice it at all.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to speak loudly, the little girl is very greedy, and she must make trouble when she hears it..."

The peddler quickly sent a clear expression, and covered the snack box with a clean cloth. The old lady smiled, and was naturally very satisfied with his "understanding".
The peddler took the opportunity to ask: "Ma'am, do you have children in this area? I mean, I will cover whoever has children. This snack is not cheap. If children see it and fight for it...

I can't embarrass adults, can I?To live, you should be more thrifty..."

"You are really kind-hearted, you don't focus on making money, you are much better than those people before, they can't wait for their children to cry...

There are only three families without children here, Lao Wang's family, Lao Zhao's family, and the old Wu's family who moved here...

However, Old Wang, Lao Zhao and their family live their lives carefully. Seeing that Lao Wu’s family is in a good position, they are willing to spend money. I have seen their family buy snacks and fruits several times..."
