Chapter 293 The sudden fire(2/2)
These people are extremely powerful in Jinling City. If they are really released, they will easily attract their revenge.
I don't dare to do it on the surface, but it's hard to say in the secret.
Of course, they dare not take action against Fan and Zhao, but for ordinary constables, it is not certain.
The next day, the redemption money of the people in Heishui City was delivered one after another.
Fan Xiaodao arranged for someone to accept it, and after issuing the documents, he confiscated the money. At noon, Saidi Chan's 200,000 yuan was sent. After counting, he received a total of 700,000 yuan (two). They did not expect that just seizing a Heishui City, they would get so much money.
However, there is still 400,000 hangs left to the 1.1 million hangs that can be found.
After those people paid the money, Fan Xiaodao also fulfilled his promise and let them go.
Luo and Gu were puzzled, "Sir, didn't you say you wouldn't let anyone go?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "I have discussed with General Zhao and Prefect Xie. The imperial envoy sent by the court will arrive. It will be a hidden danger sooner or later for these people to stay here. Now their evidence is in our hands. If you want to arrest people, you can catch them at any time."
"Aren't you afraid that they will run away?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "We collected the money and let the people go. Now is our honeymoon period with Heishui City, and it is also a good opportunity for them to make a comeback and prepare for a big fight. Who would be willing to run away?"
The two nodded, "Sir, wise."
Fan Xiaodao laughed, "Stop flattering. After collecting so much money, it is not a solution to put it here. Hurry up and hand it over to the prefect's office. I and the governor and the prefect reported that in two days, a notice will be posted in the city to inform the world that all iron tin coins are illegal coins. The government set up a few points in the city to recycle them one-to-one."
As he said that, he was about to leave.
The prefect's office.
Xie Yu was in a good mood these two days, and he did not expect that Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao actually got some money and recycled the fake money one by one. In this way, the impact of these fake money on the market and people's livelihood in Jinling was minimized. Of course, after arresting the people from Heishui City, many people also asked Xiang Tuo favors and wanted the prefect to make a fuss, but Xie Yu resisted the pressure and refused.
It’s easy to let someone go, but who will give the money?
So, when Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing came to find him, he personally welcomed the two into the office and made two cups of tea for them. "It's really unexpected that such a big problem has been easily resolved by you, haha!"
Fan Xiaodao said: "We have no choice, there is no way. Someone must pay for this matter. Heishui City happened to appear in the right place at the right time. As long as it doesn't cause trouble for the adults."
Xie Yu said: "It's done well, but it's a bit reckless. I'm a little worried. If it's targeted by some people in the court, it's probably going to cause a lot of trouble."
Fan Xiaodao explained, "We have considered it, so every time we receive a sum of money, we will issue them documents signed by the government. Of course, it cannot be said to be fines or redemption fees. Instead, Heishui City heard that the local financial order was impacted. Dozens of great charitable people compassionate the people, donated generously, and helped the government solve a major problem. These are the blessings of Xie Gong's prefect who loves the people as much as his son in his daily life!"
Xie Yu smiled and said, "It's so good!"
Zhao Xingdao: "The only drawback is that there is a gap of 400,000 yuan. Of course, it is the premise that all iron tin money can be collected in theory. Without further ado, we will start to exchange it today, and strive to recover all the iron tin money circulating on the market before the imperial envoys come to Jinling, so as to minimize the impact of this case!"
In the afternoon of that day, Jinling City and surrounding prefectures were full of notices.
The imperial court seized a batch of dens for making fake money today and seized more than 100,000 yuan of fake money. Because the case is widely involved and the fake money has been circulated on the market, in order to avoid causing losses, the government decided to set up 30 outlets in the city to exchange fake iron tin coins one by one for half a month.
The government orders passed notices, and the county government offices, the village guards, and the village guards soon spread in and around Jinling City.
When the people of Jinling City heard this news, they were already bombed. Soon, the people in the city lined up in long queues at major outlets. Some people only had ten or eight ounces in their hands, but they lined up nearly a hundred feet. After a day, thirty outlets only exchanged less than ten thousand tin coins for hanging iron.
If it is this efficiency, it may not be able to be fully realized even in one year, not to mention half a month.
In order to improve efficiency, the government had to post another notice, and thirty outlets were exchanged as usual, but only received more than ten hulls of fake money. People who hold small amounts of iron tin can concentrate in villages in various places to collect the villages, and the villages were collecting the villages and the yamen to exchange. In this way, no one had to queue up to exchange, and the efficiency was greatly improved. After three days, nearly 500,000 hulls of fake money had been exchanged.
By the fifth day, the large amount of exchange was already sporadic, and only some small amount of iron tin money was exchanged.
These things were handled by the prefect's office, and Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing did not participate.
As the date of arrival of the imperial envoy gets closer, the redemption work is coming to an end.
