Du Zhongxiao sat in the chair, watching Tao Shiqi tinkering with flint while trying, and kept trying, making a "bang" sound. Tao Shiqi's gun fiddling with did not have a barrel, nor did he install gunpowder, and was simply testing the firing mechanism.

Shisanlang and Chen Qin turned from the foot of the mountain on the other side, held two big fish in their hands, and sang songs.

This is a leisurely country time, quiet and leisurely. Du Zhongxiao sat down and looked at the green mountains around him, and felt relaxed.

Shortly after coming to Datong Supervision, Du Zhongxiao doubled the output of new iron coins and transported a large number of new iron coins out of the mountain. After getting more new iron coins, Zheng Jian flatly ordered the use of old iron coins, including taxes, and the yamen no longer collected old iron coins. However, in prefectures and counties far away from Bingzhou, not only private households, but also some local yamen used information asymmetry and frantically used old iron coins to buy all the goods they could buy.

Datongjian, located in the deep mountains, is not affected. The people here are simple and the business is underdeveloped, and the people rarely use cash. The money method outside has nothing to do with it.

Seeing Shisanlang and Chen Qin coming over, Tao Shiqi pulled the trigger at them and shouted: "Boom, boom!"

The two were startled and jumped up suddenly. Tao Shiqi looked at it and laughed.

Chen Qin and Shisanlang were both upset, and went forward together, chased Tao Shiqi, and made a fuss.

The Bingzhou Yamen, the magistrate of Yangqutang of Fugu County, rushed to the Chief Officer's Office and bowed to Zheng Jian: "My grandpa, the old iron coins were abolished a few days ago, and the people had complained. Early this morning, the people colluded with soldiers from this city and rode horses outside Zicheng to bear the gathering in front of the Baige Chief Officer's Office. The Baige Chief said again and again that the crowd gathered more and more and refused to disperse. When the officials entered Zicheng, the crowd had already come to Zicheng, and the soldiers had already closed the city gate!"

Zheng Jian stood up and asked in a deep voice: "The day before yesterday, the list of the list was announced everywhere. The spring tax could be paid for five cents of old iron coins and five cents of new iron coins. How much cash can ordinary people have in their hands? It is not the poor people who gather to make trouble."

County Magistrate Tang shook his head helplessly: "Now that people are in a turbulent manner, the subordinates cannot find out who they are."

Zheng Jian paced back and forth for two steps and said to the officials at the door: "Go and invite Shi Qian. I have something to discuss. - Also, I will instruct the soldiers guarding the city gate to send additional staff and not allow rioters to enter Zicheng!"

The official crossed his hands and responded to the promise and turned around.

Zheng Jian also said to the magistrate Tang: "County magistrate, since someone is causing trouble, there should be someone in the city to take charge of the overall situation. Outside the city of Bingzhou, it is under your jurisdiction of Yangqu County. You should go back immediately to appease the people. The rioters are causing trouble, and you must not let them collide with the county government!"

Now in this chaos, 10,000 county magistrate Tang did not want to leave Zicheng. Except for the people, the people were actually mainly soldiers. Once these arrogant soldiers and powerful generals started to attack, no one could control them. It was really not a big deal to smash the yamen and kill officials.

Seeing that Zheng Jian's eyes were sharp and there was no room for change, Magistrate Tang sighed secretly and had to say goodbye.

Before County Magistrate Tang went out, Tongzong Shang Yao and Wang Kechen collided in and saluted Zheng Jian together.

Zheng Jian said: "The rioters outside the city have caused trouble because they stopped using old iron coins. What news do you have? This has been a few days, why did they start to make trouble today? And there are many soldiers participating, and the military salary has been replaced with new iron coins. What does it have to do with them?"

Shang Yao said: "The officials heard some news and didn't know whether it was true or not, so please consult my husband. The yamen wanted to stop using old iron coins, but there was no clear constitution except for the spring tax permit to use five cents of old coins. The place where the most money is the fur yard. This time, the money law stopped using new and old, so some powerful families in the yard went to other places to buy old iron coins at a low price. When the arrival of the yard, they exchanged furs at the official price, and made a lot of money. Yesterday, Shen Shilong learned about this matter, and was extremely angry. He sent troops to guard the yard and did not allow a single penny of old iron coins to be used, which led to this incident."

Wang Kechen said: "There are not many officials in the yamen, and they are controlled by several local big families. They recruit scoundrels and collude with some novices in the city to make money. Shen Shilong is too anxious to do things, and these people still have a lot of iron money in their hands before they spend it, so they make trouble."

Zheng Jian nodded, with a gloomy face and no words.

The city tour of Bingzhou City has been using new iron coins for several months, especially the salaries of officials and soldiers, and there is no shortage of new money in the city. If you were not intentionally trying to get benefits from switching between new and old money, you would not have a lot of old money in your hands. There must be a reason for sudden trouble.

In this era, the military is in trouble, and it has to be a few times every year. Just watch the big fuss. The big fuss like Wang Lun of Yizhou, traversing dozens of states in the southeast, and the small fuss are rising and falling. Zheng Jian has seen many such things in the northwest for several years, and he is not panicked.

Unable to wait for a long time, Shi Quanbin hurried in and saluted Zheng Jian with his hands crossed.

Zheng Jian said: "The commander, the city uses new money and bans old money. Some soldiers and people are dissatisfied and gather to cause chaos. You should recruit troops and horses quickly to prepare for everything! Remember, without my military orders, you must not act without authorization! Those who dare to use swords and guns to incite civil unrest will be killed!"

Shi Quanbin sang his promise with his hands and turned around and left.

At this time, the judicial officer joined the army and came to the official hall, saluted and greeted Zheng Jian, and said, "My grandpa, the subordinates have sent capable personnel to go out of Zicheng to investigate. After one or two hours, we will know the truth."

Zheng Jian nodded, sat down after returning to the case, closed his eyes and said, "Then wait slowly. Instruct the officials of this state to guard the yamen and not go out."

Everyone looked at each other and had to find a place to sit in the chief's hall, and ordered officials to arrange affairs in the yamen. After the war with the Dangxiang, most of the officials in the border areas had seen the world, and no one was particularly panicked.

After about half an hour, Lin Chanjun hurried out and after half an hour, he returned.

Zheng Jian opened his eyes and said lightly: "How? Can you find out the mastermind?"

Lin Chanjun bowed: "The officials have roughly investigated. The mastermind is Li Song, the leader of the original tanning guild. He colluded with dozens of powerful and novices in the city, and was entangled with the soldiers of the people, causing this chaos. Li Song was originally a tanning craftsman, and he gained a lot for the first time. A few days ago, Du Qiang ordered a new tanning tanning workshop to build a new tanning workshop, but because this man made a rebellion, he was resentful. This time, he used his connections in the cargo yard to buy old iron coins from other places at a low price, and arrived at the cargo yard to exchange for cooked furs, which made a lot of profits. Shen Zhilu heard the news that yesterday, he suddenly refused to collect old money from the fur yard. Li Song lost too much money and was resentful. He wanted to cause trouble and let the government continue to collect old money."

Zheng Jian nodded, stood up and said, "Please ask the Chief Shi Qian to arrange troops and horses in the prefecture yamen school ground. Open the city gate and let the rioters come in!"

The officials sang loudly and acted separately.
Chapter completed!
