Embroidered clothes guard? !

Wang Enwen and the others were shocked.

They never expected that they would be targeted by Xiuyiwei.

The Xiuyi Guard was established when Liu Sheng was still King Xingmei.

However, the only incident in which he participated is known to the public is the case of former Ming Nanjing nobles colluding with grain merchants to manipulate grain prices.

Wang Enwen thought that they were all small figures and did things very covertly.

Who would have thought that Xiuyiwei would find out about them so quickly.

Yang Dechou and Zhao Zhi were still in fear.

Wang Enwen jumped through the window and escaped.

Although this box is on the second floor, outside the window is the eaves roof.

When it slides down, it's only ten feet high from the ground.

The city of Nanjing is vast, and if he escapes into the crowd, he still has some hope of escaping.

"How brave!"

The leader of the Embroidered Guards did not expect that Wang Enwen, a country squire and scholar, would dare to arrest and escape in front of them.

But his reaction was not slow.

With an angry shout, he rushed to the window, raised his hand and fired a dart, hitting Wang Enwen in the back.

Wang Enwen groaned, rolled down, and fell to the street, causing pedestrians to scream.

He was just a country squire after all.

Although he usually pays attention to maintenance and occasionally practices boxing, he was injured first by a dart and then fell so hard that he couldn't get up for a while.

Just as he struggled to get up, an embroidered guard also climbed out of the second-floor window and jumped from the eaves of the corridor.

Capture it easily.

As for Yang Dechou and Zhao Zhi in the box, they were already paralyzed.

Naturally, they were all caught.

···

It was also this morning.

Liu Sheng issued an edict through the Government Affairs Council.

It's called, "Da'ei Currency Management Measures and New Currency Implementation Regulations."

The ruling and opposition parties habitually call it simply the "New Money Order"!

The edict will be initially piloted in Yingtian Mansion.

It was planned to be expanded to southern Zhili in three months and to the whole country in one year.

On the day after the edict was issued, Yingtianfu Yamen and various county Yamen issued official notices one after another, announcing the issuance of new money by the court and various measures taken by various ministries to ban the old money from the previous Ming Dynasty.

Propaganda officers, propaganda officers and other relevant officials at all levels of Yingtian Mansion were ordered to go to the grassroots level to preach and explain various measures of the "New Money Order" to the people.

In order to cooperate with the issuance of new money, Da'ei National Bank also opened its doors in a low-key manner two days later.

Da'ei National Bank is a new yamen affiliated to the Currency Department of the Ministry of Finance.

Currently there are only two functions, or businesses.

First, exchange old and new money.

Second, free storage.

As for the future bank's off-site deposit and withdrawal, interest-bearing storage and lending, investment and other businesses, Liu Sheng plans to find a suitable time to open them in the future.

Even the current two businesses are mainly based on the exchange of new and old money, followed by the storage business.

After all, Damei Bank has just opened, and Liu Sheng himself does not know much about this aspect, so it is most appropriate to take it step by step.

But Liu Sheng estimates that even if Dawei Bank does not actively promote local storage business, the development speed of this business will not be slow.

Because some banks and bank accounts in the late Ming Dynasty had storage services, but they only charged a fee.

That is, when a customer deposits money, the bank charges a custody fee based on proportion and time.

Quite the opposite of later generations of banks.

Therefore, even if Damei Bank only provides free storage, it still has a great competitive advantage compared with banks.

Not to mention, Da'ei Bank is backed by the state, so its credibility is even more guaranteed.

Of course, this guarantee of credibility is also relative - those who have ulterior motives and do not trust the Da'ei court will probably not dare to deposit money in the bank.

While Yingtianfu was actively promoting the "New Money Order" in various places, Xiuyiwei conducted surprise interrogations after arresting Wang Enwen and a group of other criminals who conspired to obstruct and undermine the "New Money Order."

Subsequently, the Nanjing garrison was dispatched.

Other suspects involved in the case were also arrested, interrogated, and then handed over to the tribunal for judgment...

Pingkang Square.

Wang Dagui hid in his home, feeling extremely frightened and regretful.

He was originally a peddler who walked around the streets selling small items for daily use.

The day before yesterday, a friend he was not familiar with came to him and introduced him to a new way to make money.

The job is not difficult, just ask him to spread some gossip about "the imperial court will directly ban the old money from the Qianming Dynasty" while walking around the streets.

You only need to work for one day and you can get two taels of silver!

In addition, if you can pull people to protest in front of the Yamen, you will get one penny for each one you pull!

Although Wang Dagui vaguely felt that the employer who did this wanted to go against the imperial court, he still could not resist the temptation of money and took the job.

The main thing is that, in his opinion, even if something happens, it cannot be found on his head.

After all, he was just telling some hearsay, not sure whether it was true or not, so he wouldn't have violated the king's law, right?

But today when he went out and walked a few streets, he encountered the police arresting people twice.

Those who were arrested were all small traders like him who liked to walk in the streets, and they all shouted that they were wronged.

When they met for the second time, he asked the man's neighbor for information.

Only then did we learn that the vendor was arrested by the security forces for "deliberately spreading rumors to cause trouble and conspiring to undermine national policies."

Although Wang Dagui was uneducated, he had some knowledge and immediately realized that this matter might be related to him.

He originally wanted to escape from the city directly.

Carrying the cargo box and walking to the city gate, I saw the security forces checking the passers-by.

Feeling guilty, he didn't dare to go there at all, so he subconsciously ran home to hide.

In a state of nervousness, Wang Dagui ran to the ceramic God of Wealth enshrined at home to seek blessings.

"God of Wealth bless you, please don't find out about me - I will burn more incense and paper for you afterwards."

After praying, Wang Dagui realized that the God of Wealth might not care about this matter.

So I was ready to pray to my ancestors again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he knelt down in front of his ancestor's memorial tablet, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Is Wang Dagui at home?"

It was Xiang Zheng's voice.

But Wang Dagui didn't dare to answer, let alone open the door.

Then he heard Xiang Zheng said: "Master Jun, someone saw Wang Dagui returning home before. Maybe he went out again?"

"Can the door be locked when you go out?"

A loud voice said this, and then the door was kicked open.

Wang Dagui was so frightened that he hid under the bed.

However, the security sergeants who rushed in quickly found him and arrested him.

When he was taken out of the hospital, Wang Dagui couldn't help shouting like the little vendor he saw, "Master Jun, I'm wronged. This villain didn't do anything."

The guard commander who came to arrest the person said: "You know whether you are wronged or not! Take him away!"

Hu Dazhuang, who came back from outside, happened to see this scene and was so frightened that he quickly stood aside.

After the security forces left, he came to inquire.

"Xiang Zheng, what did Brother Wang do?"

"It is said that it is deliberately spreading rumors to cause trouble and undermine national policies - it is a matter of old and new money."
