Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

At this moment, the Tang coin in Li You's hand jumped a few times in the flames, but there was no trace of burning.

Li You let it burn for seven or eight breaths, then took it out, put it in front of Shi Mo and said, "Shi Mo, take a good look at what this real Great Tang coin looks like."

Then, when everyone was still in shock, Li You gave an order: "Burn, burn it for me directly. See how many real Datang coins are left, and we will exchange them for him directly."

The ten people in front of the examination table got Li You's order and started to act one after another.

Compared with Li You's crazy "money burning" actions just now, the performance of these ten people is undoubtedly much more elegant and efficient.

The 500 million Tang coins brought by Shi Mo were quickly "burned" for nearly 400 million.

Seeing that the remaining money was getting less and less, Li You waved his hand to signal them to stop first.

Li You walked up to Shi Mo with a livid face, and asked, "Shi Mo, you have seen the situation, the real money of the nearly 400 million yuan just checked is only 10,000+ coins, you need to give the account to the customer for this matter." An explanation."

However, Shi Mo at this time is just like his name, like a stone, silent.

Facing Shi Mo's refusal to cooperate, Li You sneered and said, "Although there is no law yet about the consequences of forging Datang coins, you will soon know how stupid what you do will be."

After finishing speaking, Li You ordered Shi Mo to be taken down first, and then said to the crowd who were still watching: "Here, I think you all understand by now."

"This guy named Shi Mo is that kind of fake money liar."

"I really didn't expect that this liar has now tricked the yamen."

"Would my Tang court be fooled so easily by a few of their Persians?"

"Don't underestimate the Datang coin in my hand. Apart from the color-changing ink and fire-resistant potion I just mentioned, the content you contain is not simple."

"In addition to not being afraid of fire, it is actually not afraid of water."

After speaking, Li You asked someone to bring a water basin, and then threw down a handful of Tang coins.

At the beginning, most of the Datang coins floated on the water, and there were not many changes.

Li Youfu let everyone see clearly, so he stretched out his hand to stir the water basin.

With this stirring, there is a clear difference between real money and fake money.

The real money continued to float on the water, but the fake money either satiated and sank, or was damaged by absorbing too much water.

Seeing this scene, the crowd of onlookers began to applaud.

Then, Li You immediately selected five people from the audience, and asked them to carefully observe the difference between genuine and counterfeit banknotes under normal circumstances, and then use fire and water to identify them respectively.

At first, these five people were a little helpless in front of real and fake money.

Because of the money, there seems to be almost no difference in the feel of the paper or the quality of the printing.

On the contrary, because it is the first use of fake money, it appears newer, and makes fake money feel better to these people.

After that, it is the traditional baking discoloration experiment.

In this experiment, even professionals were unable to effectively tell the difference between real and counterfeit money, although there was a slight difference in their performance.

However, when it comes to fire and water flooding, the gap is suddenly pulled out.

Seeing such a scene, Li You chuckled, and then said something that surprised everyone even more.

"In fact, there is a simpler test method. You can try to tear the two different coins, which are different from real and fake, and you will understand."

Encouraged by Li You, these five people finally began to destroy Datang coins with hesitation.

It wasn't until this time that they realized that although the real and fake Datang coins were similar in feel, they were actually very different.

They can easily destroy fake Datang coins, but not the real ones.

After slight attempts to no avail, the five of them gave up the idea of ​​destroying the Datang coins, and solemnly returned the Datang coins to Li You.

Li You held up the Datang coin again and said, "Everyone has seen it. As the representative of the highest technology of the Tang Dynasty, the Datang coin is definitely not something that can be simply imitated."

"Here, the king wants to announce one thing."

"That is the printing workshop and paper workshop of Shence Mansion, which are officially merged into one today."

"Its new name is Shence Banknote Printing Factory. From now on, it will reduce the current commercial printing and invest in the printing of Datang coins."

"We are also constantly innovating in technology, applying more and better printing papermaking technology to Datang coins."

"Shence House Banknote Printing Factory will try its best to ensure that Datang coins are not counterfeited, and the quality is getting better and better."

Hearing this, the crowd applauded one after another. While applauding, they also traded for Datang to research such a powerful Datang coin.

After some demonstrations, someone finally couldn't help asking: "King Yan, are you planning to promote Datang coins in the pass?"

"After we exchange Datang coins, can we use them in Chang'an?"

It is rare for the masses to be so kind, Li You smiled slightly and said: "The matter of promotion depends on the arrangement of the Ministry of Accounting. This king is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, so I can't answer if I ask."

"As for the second question, I dare not talk about other business opportunities in Chang'an, but the business opportunities related to the imperial court all accept Datang coins."

"I can assure you of this."

"Also, the Food City under Shence Mansion can also be used."

At the end, Li You mischievously posted a wave of advertisements for the Food City, which made everyone laugh again.

After laughing, the counting work continued. In the end, among the nearly 500 million Great Tang coins that Shi Mo brought, less than 80 Great Tang coins were real.

After Li You announced the result to the audience, he asked people to take out an equal amount of gold from the "Golden Mountain".

Just when everyone was wondering who the money was going to go to, Kang Jie appeared.

Then, Kang Jie temporarily kept the money on behalf of the caravan traveling in the Western Regions.

After Shi-mo and his caravan members are done interrogating, the rest of them can go to Kang-jae to collect the money.

Although the relationship between Kang Jie and Li You was well known by many people present, Kang Jie's reputation among merchants in the Western Regions was also one of the best. It was undoubtedly the best choice to hand over the money to Kang Jie at this time.

However, just as Li You was about to leave, he was stopped by someone: "King Yan, can you exchange the 80 just now for us!"

"We also want to use Datang coins!"

"The glory of the Tang Dynasty can't be used only by people outside the customs. We are also citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and we also need to use the Tang coins!"
