The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 297 Counterfeit Money Appears in the Tang Dynasty!

Although the university construction is not yet complete, preparations for teaching equipment have already begun.

As time went by, the soil in the greenhouse that had been planted earlier began to sprout one after another.

It's not cold anymore, so we can plant potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes near the greenhouse.

After roughly estimating the number of seeds needed, I called in a few second-generation seeds to help.

This time, Li Shimin did not go; he was to accompany Empress Zhangsun.

Cheng Yaojin and the others knew about it when it was planted.

Just prepare the machinery for tilling the land, and find some people to help out.

Li Shimin didn't go, so Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi naturally had to keep watch.

The three little princesses also wanted to join in the fun.

I'll follow you wherever you go.

It's fine at noon, but it's still a bit cold in the early morning and evening.

Outside the greenhouse, the space was even more spacious, and Cheng Chumo and the others felt even more carefree.

They were all sowing faster than the last, so that those who were sowing later had to jog.

Xiao Ran, standing not far away, was also at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Their work is truly impeccable.

"Young master, I'll go check on the situation inside the greenhouse," Li Lizhi said.

"Changle, let's go together!"

"Okay!" Once inside the greenhouse, Li Lizhi took out her phone and started taking pictures.

This is just a record of its growth.

The three little princesses don't understand, and they can't see it now.

"Little Nangjun~ Where is Xi Hongxi?" The little princess couldn't stand it.

“Sizi, you’ve forgotten what’s over there!” Li Lizhi pointed to an area.

"Next time you bring something, write it down on a wooden board or something similar, so you don't forget it," Xiao Ran said.

"We'll get to know each other when we grow up, so it's definitely time to prepare now."

Upon hearing the location of the tomato, the three little princesses ran over with their dog and squatted down beside it.

I see many seedlings now, but they are very small.

Can't tell the difference.

The little princess looked at the ground with her big, watery eyes, a little confused.

Li Lizhi also wanted to laugh, and pointed to the tender tomato seedlings, "This is the real one, the others are weeds."

"You can come and get someone to pull the weeds in a couple of days." Xiao Ran himself didn't recognize them and hadn't paid attention to these issues before.

However, Li Lizhi knows this and has been studying it a lot recently.

"Wow~ Big sister is so amazing!" The little princess reached out her little hand and touched the tender tomato seedling.

"Sister, what are these?" Princess Chengyang pointed to the other tender seedlings next to her.

“These are all weeds! Next time I come, I’ll just pull them all out,” Li Lizhi said.

Li Lizhi walked through all the greenhouses and took pictures of them; she'll record them when she gets back.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi didn't need to do anything about farming.

These things were extraordinary and very important to the Tang Dynasty, so Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong attached great importance to them.

They don't feel that farming is beneath them.

This will surely be recorded in history, and I would be thrilled to be able to participate.

Li Shimin would never forget what Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong did.

Tang Jian strode to the front of the Taiji Hall and requested an audience with Li Chengqian.

Now that Li Shimin is no longer here, the Taiji Hall has become Li Chengqian's office.

He mostly met with other officials in the Taiji Hall.

Upon hearing that it was Tang Jian who had come, Li Chengqian came out personally.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Tang Jian hurriedly bowed.

"Uncle, there are no outsiders here, so please don't stand on ceremony. Let's go inside and talk." Since there was no one else around, Li Chengqian changed his form of address, hoping to win people over.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, you must show your attitude. "Yes, Your Highness!"

Just as he sat down, Li Chengqian had a eunuch bring him tea. "Uncle, what is it?"

"The money exchange is in trouble!"

Upon hearing that it was a money exchange, Li Chengqian's expression turned serious; this was extremely important to the imperial court.

Although it was nominally organized by Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, the biggest beneficiary was the imperial court.

The imperial court borrowed a lot of money from money shops, which alleviated its financial difficulties.

"What exactly happened?"

"In the Western Regions, there are still many remote areas where counterfeiters are making banknotes, and many people have taken their complaints to money changers."

"Damn it! Who dares to do this?" Li Chengqian clenched his fists.

Tang Jian also gave Li Chengqian two counterfeit bills.

After hearing what Tang Jian had said, Li Chengqian nodded, "Uncle, you should go back first."

Li Chengqian needs to go find Li Shimin and Xiao Ran.

The money shops are not only meant to alleviate the current financial difficulties of the imperial court, but will also be of great use in the future. The money shops must not be allowed to fail.

This is a critical matter; if it's not handled properly, all the work done before might be for nothing.

If the money exchange runs into trouble, we really can't cover it up now.

The debt is far too great; Xiao Ran and the princesses' money will all be lost.

When Li Chengqian arrived at the Lizheng Hall, he saw a conveyor belt behind the screen, with things constantly coming and going.

Yu Shu led a group of people to move things.

"This servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Shu quickly bowed.

"Have the young master and the others returned from the city?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Highness, they have not yet returned."

Li Chengqian just tried to contact Xiao Ran via walkie-talkie but couldn't reach him. The distance is too far; they're already outside Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian left the Lizheng Hall and drove out of the palace.

With Xiao Ran and the little princess absent, Li Chengqian could not go to the villa to see Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian's car stopped near the greenhouse, and he happened to see Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi leading the three little princesses out of the greenhouse.

"Young master, you are so handsome!" Li Chengqian exclaimed and hurried over.

"Brother, what brings you here?" Li Lizhi asked.

"Judging from this, something must have happened." Xiao Ran also walked over.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Something's happened at the money exchange!" Li Chengqian's words startled Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran and the princesses' money is all in the money shop.

Don't ruin it.

"Brother, what happened?" Li Lizhi also cared about the money shop, which held special significance for her.

“There are counterfeiters making banknotes, and quite a lot of them. They’ve been discovered in many places, and the victims have taken their complaints to the money changers. The most serious situation is in the Western Regions,” Li Chengqian said briefly.

"That shouldn't be the case! The Tang Dynasty didn't even have the paper for banknotes, and the other processes weren't something the Tang Dynasty could produce at present." Xiao Ran also didn't understand what kind of talented person could make counterfeit money.

Li Chengqian took out two banknotes, and these are them.

Upon seeing the banknotes, Xiao Ran immediately understood.

“This doesn’t seem like it either!” Li Lizhi said, realizing the problem as well.

The counterfeit money is so fake that people who know real banknotes don't even need to touch it; they can tell at a glance.

The colors are all off; they're not comparable to the real thing at all.

"This certainly won't fool those in Chang'an who are familiar with real paper money, but it can fool those who have heard of paper money but have never seen it. The news about paper money has already spread far and wide, but there are no money shops in other places, so many people have only heard of it but have never seen it."

"So some people with ulterior motives use these banknotes to cheat people, and many people are cheated without even realizing it until they are recognized during the transaction."

"The local government reported it immediately. It's happening in many places, and the counterfeit money is even different in appearance, but it feels like it's all the same group of people."

Taking advantage of the lack of information, many people are unaware of this loophole in genuine paper money.
