The heavens start from saving Daming

A Wangzhuang outside Lunu City was changed into a money making bureau.

A group of Shaofu craftsmen who came to Zhongshan Kingdom with Shi Fen, as well as a mountain of money-making raw materials and various tools were placed here.

After arranging Gongsun Hong and others to inspect and supervise the spring plowing, Li Yunze stayed here to supervise the large-scale coin casting.

The reason why he attaches so much importance is that he is very aware of the importance of currency, and secondly, he knows that if these metal currencies are left unsupervised, accidents are easy to happen.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the treasury officials of the Ministry of Household Treasury even practiced the jaw-dropping deflation thaumaturgy in order to be able to steal the treasury silver.

In addition to copper coins, this minting bureau also minted gold coins.

One gold coin is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and if you steal ten or eight of them, you will make a fortune. Of course, we must pay attention to it.

It's okay to talk about copper coins, just formulate rules and regulations and arrange manpower to implement them. After all, the value of copper coins is not high.

But when it comes to gold coins, Li Yunze is basically watching by himself, which can be said to be strictly guarded.

But even so, it is impossible to prevent the loss of gold coins from happening.

"Your Majesty."

Yan Yi saluted Li Yunze with a face of shame, "After counting, 210 six gold coins were minted yesterday. When it was ready to be stored, there were only 210 four coins, and two gold coins were lost."

Li Yunze looked at the hydraulic foundry that had been shut down for a long time and was still searching closely, rubbed his chin and asked, "How much have you lost in total?"

"Your Majesty, a total of 33 gold coins have been lost these days. I am guilty."

Yan Yi is in charge of the money and food income and expenditure, and Li Yunze is also in charge of the Money Making Bureau.

But now that something like this has happened, he, the person in charge, is naturally responsible.

"As for you, you are still too polite."

Li Yunze didn't punish Yan Yi directly, instead he talked about his habits.

Yan Yi, who was ashamed, took the initiative to say, "I ask the king to call Lieutenant Zhi to investigate thoroughly."

This made Li Yunze laugh, "If all the investigators come here to investigate thoroughly, then all the workers here will die. It's too much to correct."

Zhidu came here and couldn't find out how the gold coins were lost. His style must be to dispose of everything that can come into contact with the gold coins.

These people are just craftsmen, not local tyrants.

Moreover, only a small number of people stole gold coins, and most of the craftsmen were innocent.

"This matter."

Looking at the busy craftsmen with only a piece of cloth around their waists, Li Yunze looked at the busy craftsmen with a half-smile, "It's just a small trick, let's look at my king's tricks."

The security here at the Mint is very tight, except for these artisans who have direct contact with the gold coins, no one has the opportunity to steal them.

And the craftsmen are almost clean from top to bottom, and the only place where they can hide things is Gu Daoer.

This kind of thing, the bankers of the later generations have already mastered it, but no one knows about it except Li Yunze in this era.

You must know that it is 250 grams, which is a gold coin weighing half a catty. Who would have thought that it could be hidden in such a place.

Even if Yan Yi thought of it, he wouldn't check them one by one.

First of all, his education did not allow him to do such humiliating things.

The second is that people in this era value their face and reputation very much. Once there is a mandatory inspection, the craftsmen will die of shame.

Of course, if this kind of thing is done, there will be no pressure in my heart.

Li Yunze used the simplest method, which was to bring a metal detector from the modern world.

Such things are naturally done by sergeants.

Su An is a craftsman from the Shaofu, he came to Zhongshan Kingdom with him, and was arranged to work in the money making bureau.

When he saw the copper coins, he didn't pay attention to them, because although the copper coins were good, they were not worth much, and it wasn't worth selling by himself.

When he was transferred to the hydraulic factory and participated in the minting of gold coins, his eyes seemed to turn golden.

Su An is actually a pseudonym, his surname is not Su but Pirates.

That's right, it's the thief who stole the house.

There are all kinds of schools among the schools of thought, and the almost exotic family of robbers is also one of them.

The founder of the Pirate family is Robo Zhi, who is the head of the Pirates.

Robo Ang is the direct descendant of Robo Zhi, and his family has a long history.

In fact, the pirate family has also been famous in history books. For example, Lord Mengchang once recruited [-] customers, and many of them were from the robber family.

When Meng Changjun was imprisoned in Xianyang and was about to be killed, it was a robber who disguised himself as a dog and stole a white fox fur worth thousands of gold from the Daqin Palace. .

This is the story of the dog thief.

But it's not over yet.

When Meng Changjun fled to Hangu Pass, because it was stipulated that the switch should be turned on after the cock crowed, Meng Changjun, who was eager to escape, asked his family robbers to learn the cock crowing, which caused the cock crowing in the pass to escape.

This is the story of cock crowing.

Chicken crowing and dog stealing are done by people who steal homes.

After Qin unified the world, most of the hundreds of schools except Legalism were hit.

People like the robbers and the Mohists were especially targeted.

As a last resort, the person who steals the house can only hide his name and struggle to survive.

When the big man comes here, he still doesn't want to see the robbers, the Mohists and other aliens, so the robbers can only continue to hide their names until now.

Pirates have no loyalty to the big man at all, stealing gold coins is very peaceful.

As for the technique of stealing gold coins, it can only be said that cockroaches and dog theft are nothing in Taoism, but an entry-level technique.

If you have obtained the true inheritance of your ancestors, you can take away two pieces at once in your peak state!

It's the same today, carrying two gold coins, wiping sweat with a tired face, lined up with the workers in front, and walked outside.

He has always sneered at the inspections of the sergeants. How can you steal the house?
'Di Di Di Di Di Di ~~~'

The sergeant with a stick in his hand swept in front of Robo Ang, and the seemingly ordinary stick suddenly made a strange noise, which scared everyone.

But the sergeant over there showed a look of great joy, and he flew up and threw the ignorant and sluggish robber to the ground.

"Caught it! The thief who stole the gold coins was caught by someone!"

The law of the Han Dynasty followed the law of the Qin Dynasty, and those who caught the thief should be rewarded with one-tenth of the stolen goods.

The sergeant was, of course, very excited.

You know, dozens of gold coins have been lost here.

After the sergeant searched for the bag without fear of hardships, he really took out two yellow gold coins from the bandit's body.

This person actually came in secretly with a special potion, and bent the gold coin to hide it.

Since then, craftsmen not only have to check when they go out, but also have to check when they come in.

There is nothing to say about the stolen goods.

Zhang Tang, who was in charge of the trial of the case, went to report to Li Yunze after the interrogation.

"Your Majesty, the thief said that he is a master of robbers, and he is willing to serve the Majesty."

"Ah."

Li Yunze, who was dealing with official business, chuckled lightly, and asked casually, "Han Lu, how should we deal with it?"

This is the place Zhang Tang is most familiar with. He immediately responded loudly, "My lord, the law of the Han Dynasty 'those who steal horses will die, and those who steal cattle will pay more, so they pay more attention to capital than light illnesses. Stealing gold coins from the mint without permission is a case of self-stealing and should be severely punished.
The amount of money stolen is huge, so it should be done more severely.According to the law, it should be cut. "

"Ah."

Li Yunze nodded, "Deal with the law."

If you commit a crime, you will be punished. There is no such thing as asking for compensation from the sufferer after committing a crime.

After Zhang Tang left, Gongsun Hong, who was coordinating with government affairs, also lowered his head and continued to be busy with the work in hand.

If Li Yunze had shown any tendency to recruit useful talents before, he would immediately come forward to argue with Zhang Tang and recruit a talent for the king.

Even if it's a chicken and a dog, it's still a talent!

It's hard to say when, it will play a key role, and Mr. Mengchang is the best display.

Without the help of the thieves, Meng Changjun would have died in Hangu Pass.

It's just that Li Yunze gave the order to be executed, so Gongsun Hong naturally acted as if nothing had happened, and he would never push himself forward, thinking that he was good enough to recruit talents for the king.

You must know how to do things properly, and you must not fight against the king.

Gong Sunhong, who had been a petty official for many years, had a deep understanding of this.

The robbery came to an end with his beheading and the recovery of the stolen gold coins.

Before finding out how the sergeants found out, the artisans who had other things on their minds probably didn't dare to make another move.

The commerce and trade of Zhongshan Kingdom is very developed, there is an endless stream of caravans traveling from south to north, east to west, and large and small caravans can be seen on the official roads at any time.

In addition to its own advantages, the attractiveness of its high-quality products that have appeared in the past two years is also an important reason.

The most popular are blank paper and books printed by printing.

Because people who can buy these things are basically not short of money, and the profits are high enough, so they are naturally welcomed by the caravan.

The second is the butcher shop made of beef and mutton, cheese, trained cattle and so on.

Of course, these things are still relatively one-sided, and there are not many consumers.

The real big heads are all kinds of ironware made by the craftsmen outside the city day and night.

I don't know why, but the quality of the ironware made by the Zhongshan National Craftsmanship Supervisor is very good, both in terms of appearance and quality, it is far superior to other places, so it has always been the favorite of caravans.

The caravans also brought a large amount of materials to Zhongshan, the most of which were iron, fuel and other materials.

Recently, many more caravans are not considered caravans, they are considered officials and merchants, and they belong to the Shaofu.

Shaofu's convoy transported a large amount of copper, gold and other materials to the coin minting bureau outside Lunu City.

Afterwards, the minted copper and gold coins were loaded onto carts and transported all the way back to Chang'an City.

The ownership of these things is actually in the hands of Chang'an, and Zhongshan Kingdom is nothing more than processing materials on the surface.

But in fact, only Li Yunze and Yan Yi knew how many raw materials were brought in and how many copper coins and gold coins were processed.

The difference in price was huge, and Li Yunze felt at ease and kept it as a processing fee.

These processing fees play a huge role in promoting the development of Zhongshan Country.

The Shaofu convoy transporting copper and gold coins left, and when they headed south back to Chang'an City, several men in the herbal tea shed by the roadside also got up and followed.

Money touches people's hearts, and there are always people who are not afraid of death and want to gain wealth with their lives.
