Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1272
When the people in Chang'an City were making a fuss about the fake money, Qin Tian left.

He left Chang'an City with his five thousand soldiers and horses, and rushed directly to Jinling City.

He didn't seem to care much about the affairs of Chang'an City.

Qin Tian's departure made Li Yuanjing finally heave a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Ma Zhou started to attack.

In Li Yuanjing's residence, a servant hurried over.

"My lord, my lord..."

Li Yuanjing frowned slightly, slightly disgusted, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"My lord, then Ma Zhou has started."

Hearing that Ma Zhou made a move, Li Yuanjing was a little nervous and asked, "How did you do it?"

"He... He ordered people to set up a counterfeit currency exchange office in Chang'an City, and the people of Chang'an City, if anyone has counterfeit currency in their hands, they can exchange it for real money."

The people in Chang'an City complained, mainly because they had money in their hands and felt unbalanced. They didn't have enough food money for a few days, and they worked for a few days for nothing.

If the fake money in their hands can be exchanged for real money, will they still complain?
In this way, Chang'an City will be stabilized.

I have to say that Ma Zhou's idea can solve the problem very well, but it is a bit expensive.

In other words, the imperial court bears the losses of all the people who get the fake money, which is also a lot of pressure on the imperial court.

Li Yuanjing was a little worried at first, thinking that Ma Zhou had come up with some clever plan, but when he heard that he was only exchanging real money for fake money, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This Ma Zhou is really useless. Without Qin Tian's help, he is nothing. Fortunately, he can think of such a stupid way."

Saying this, Li Yuanjing's expression moved slightly.

"How much fake money do we have left?"

"There are still a lot, at least tens of thousands of dollars."

Hearing that there were so many more, Li Yuanjing touched his chin. He suddenly thought of a very good idea, which would allow them to make another big profit before they withdrew.

Tens of thousands of dollars, don't waste it.

'Order, let our people spread out as much as possible, and then let them take those prices to exchange for real money, and leave immediately after the real money is in hand. '

In the past, if they wanted to circulate these counterfeit coins, they had to find a way to spend them, or sell them from some of their underground banks, but now there is a good way to exchange them directly, which saves them a lot of trouble.

A good thing like this can't be exchanged for nothing.

Li Yuanjing made up his mind, and the servants also felt that this was a good opportunity, so without hesitation, he retreated after accepting the order.

Soon, their people began to exchange counterfeit currency at the counterfeit currency exchange.

At the beginning, they didn't dare to exchange more, so they took a small part to exchange first, and explored the way first.

After they went, they took out the counterfeit coins, and after the exchanger confirmed that they were all counterfeit coins, they didn't make any tweaks, and directly exchanged the copper coins for real money and gave them to them.

After these people exchanged real money, they couldn't restrain their excitement, so they got a little out of hand, and immediately started their crazy money exchange road.

At the same time, Ma Zhou's side is as stable as Mount Tai.

"How about it, have there been many people changing money in the past two days?"

In the office, Ma Zhou looked at his subordinates and asked. His subordinates didn't look very good. What they are doing now is a money-losing business. Money, it's no wonder that Li Shimin spared them.

Ma Zhou is not afraid of relying on the Qin family, but they have no backing.

"Many, too many, it's almost like a sea of ​​people. From early in the morning to before the curfew, the crowd has never stopped."

Who doesn't have a few counterfeit coins in their hands, even if it's just a penny, they want to exchange them for real money. As a result, there are naturally many people who exchange money.

Coming and going, almost busier than the East and West cities.

When those subordinates said this, they complained quite a bit.

What Ma Zhou wanted to know was not this.

"But there are people who exchange a lot of fake money. Is there someone following these people's whereabouts?"

This is Ma Zhou's real purpose of exchanging money, and this is also Qin Tian's idea for him.

You know, even if there are a lot of fake money flowing into the market, there are not many people who actually have a lot of fake money in their hands. It is already beyond the sky for them to have a consistent amount of money or two amounts of money.

Therefore, if someone is really exchanged with a lot of fake money, then there must be something wrong with them, maybe they are the ones who made the fake money.

Faced with the temptation to exchange fake money for real money, few people can resist.

And as long as they come to exchange money, Ma Zhou can send people to follow the clues, find their lair, and then catch them.

"A few people came to exchange money, and they took a lot, almost all of them were ten guan, twenty or so guan, and one person even took fifty guan in exchange. The adults ordered us to send people to keep an eye on them, so they are all in our hands now. within control."

Ma Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that someone really offered a lot of money in exchange.

This was Qin Tian's idea, and Qin Tian left Chang'an City. If this idea doesn't work, then he will be doomed. After all, he doesn't have absolute confidence in this method.

But now that someone actually exchanged huge amounts of counterfeit money, then Qin Tian's method is feasible, and soon, they can almost collect the net.

"Okay, send someone to keep an eye on it, and report it as soon as there is news."

"My lord, since we already have a goal, should we still exchange this fake money?"

"Naturally, it needs to be changed. It has already started, how can it end?"

Those people curled their lips, but they could only do what Ma Zhou said.

Everything was done according to Qin Tian's arrangement, even starting this plan after Qin Tian left was also instructed by Qin Tian.

Now, all Ma Zhou needs to do is to wait for the fish to take the bait.

The next day, as soon as Ma Zhou arrived at his office, spies rushed over.

"My lord, those people who came to exchange big money were really a group. After they exchanged money, they went to the same place, and the ground was very hidden. After they came out, they took some counterfeit money in their hands. That place, I’m afraid it’s their hiding place for counterfeit money.”

After hearing what the spies said, Ma Zhou stood up immediately, excitedly, and asked, "Have you put that place under surveillance?"

"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been monitored, and no one there can escape."

"Okay, okay, Young Master Qin's method is indeed effective. We have found that group of people. Come on, gather troops and horses, follow me to take those people's dens, and crack this counterfeit currency case."

After speaking, Ma Zhou took his soldiers and horses and went straight to the thief's den.
