As one of the most lively bazaars in Beijing, Changle Square used to be crowded with people.

  Whether it's a small person or a high-ranking official, as long as you like to go shopping, you are willing to come here for a turn.

   Mei Jin was in a very happy mood because of the harvest today, so he took Jin Yichuan and Lu Jianxing two hapless guys over for a stroll.

   But as soon as he entered Changlefang, Mei Jin felt that the atmosphere here was a bit wrong.

   The original cries of street vendors no longer exhilarated, but revealed a bit weak.

   The flow of people walking on the street is also much less than before.

   Many time-honored food stalls have closed their doors, and no business is done.

   The faces of those who work hard also have a little bit of decadence on their faces.

   The entire Changlefang is shrouded in a cloud of sorrow.

   This is still a lively bazaar, to a cemetery like a cemetery, where people who come and go are all hard-working people who have done nothing.

   Mei Jin felt strange, but looking at the two people who followed him with the same downcast face, Mei Jin didn't bother to say anything.

   Every family has a hard-to-read sutra, maybe all the unfortunate things these days have been caught up.

   The three walked all the way to Zuiyuelou in the depths of the street.

   Compared with the gloomy atmosphere on the street, this famous restaurant in the capital does not seem to be very optimistic.

As soon as    entered the door, there were only two or three tables of people eating in the lobby. In the past, it took a long time to line up for a meal here. Today's attendance rate is simply pitiful.

   looked around, but no one came out to lead the way, Mei Jin was a little strange.

   "Mistress? Mistress? Is anyone?"

   yelled a few words, a young man with a blue nose and a swollen face ran out of the second floor and forced a smiling face.

   "Yeah, there are customers, you can take care of you, do you sit in the lobby or in the private room, there are more than the number of private rooms today, and the price of the dishes will be reduced by 20%, three of you, right?"

   Mei Jin and the others sat directly in the lobby and simply ordered a few signature dishes.

   But at this moment, Mei Jin touched her body and said with a little embarrassment on her face.

   "It's over, there's no silver left."

   Basically all of his change was lent to Jin Yichuan today. As a result, there was no money on him. It was embarrassing if the guests did not bring the money.

   Touched his pocket a little, Mei Jin was relieved immediately, but there were still a few silver notes, all of which were rewarded by the court at the time, and the grades that Mei Jin had not yet come were exchanged for cash.

   With money, he immediately felt the bottom line, and Mei Jin quickly added two more dishes.

   This meal is mainly to celebrate Mei Jinxi’s Qishangquan, but it can’t be said clearly. It simply became Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan’s relieving wine.

   Of these two, one has a bad career and is pushed out by people everywhere, and the other has a parasite brother who uses his past to blackmail.

   Looking at these two hapless guys, Mei Jin didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only ask them to eat something good.

   After a few sips of wine, the suffocation in the hearts of a few people also disappeared a bit.

After three rounds of wine, five dishes, almost the meal, Mei Jin was about to check out, and saw that he took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Xiao Er, but Xiao Er did not pick it up, just a little embarrassed. Said.

   "Master, we don't collect cash receipts anymore. You should take the cash."

   Mei Jin was a little surprised.

   "You used to be the cashier at Zuiyuelou, why did you suddenly change the rules?"

   The little second glanced at Mei Jin's official uniform, as if he was thinking of something, and a little cowardly, he covered his blue eyes.

   "Master, these rules were just added. The small ones are not the master. If you find it troublesome to run errands, I will give you money. There are money houses on this street."

   Looking at the embarrassed look of the other party, it was obvious that he had been beaten because of this matter, and Mei Jin didn't make it difficult for a worker because of this incident, so he simply handed the banknote to the other party.

   "You go to the cash, save two taels of money for yourself."

   Xiaoer was ecstatic when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him, and then Sa Yazi ran out.

   Mei Jin couldn't help but amused.

   "This Changlefang doesn't know what's wrong, I come today, it feels different from the past, and weirdness is revealed everywhere."

  , Lu Jianxing put down his wine glass and said slowly.

"I know something. Recently, a bunch of counterfeit coins have emerged from nowhere in Beijing, which has greatly disrupted the market. Ordinary people have received the money from nowhere, and they don't know how much blood and sweat are in vain. Now because of the counterfeit currency, they are doing it. People are panicking."

   Mei Jin sounded that Lu Jianxing was involved in a counterfeit currency case the last time he came to Zuiyuelou.

   "Is it difficult to distinguish the counterfeit currency this time?"

   Lu Jianxing shook his head.

   "The style and details are exactly the same as those of real money, and even the weight is almost the same. If it weren't for an experienced old man, it would not be obvious."

   "So realistic?"

   Lu Jianxing nodded.

   "Even the folks at several money houses have looked away, and many brothers in the yamen have also said."

   Hearing this, Mei Jin was stunned. The counterfeit currency can be regarded as real money if it reaches this level.

Jin Yichuan beside    is a little strange.

   "Since it is so realistic and the people can't tell it, they should use it for real money, and it won't affect their lives."

   Lu Jianxing shook his head upon hearing this.

"Yichuan, what you think is too simple. The coins and silver minted by the imperial court each year are quantitative, whether it is real or fake ~ www.wuxiahere.com~ As long as a large amount of coins flow into the people, it will be stable. The market is causing a shock."

   Mei Jin immediately added.

   "Production decreases, prices rise, currency order is disordered, and the market collapses. In severe cases, the country's economy will collapse. At that time, the people will not live and the country will not be impossible."

   Jin Yichuan was taken aback for a moment. This kind of relatively simple economic problem was really difficult for him as an ancient person to understand.

   But seeing what Lu Jianxing and Mei Jin said was true, they didn't doubt it.

   saw Mei Jin smile slightly.

   "But you don't have to worry too much. It will take some time to shake a country's economy by relying on counterfeit copper coins. After all, the face value of copper coins is too small and their purchasing power is limited. As long as the court regulates them, this problem can still be solved."

After all, this world is not the one in the four famous catch movies, and the power of the court is not the same. Whether it is six doors or Jinyiwei, the official organization of this world is very strong. A copper coin case should not be too difficult to solve. .

   After all, it's just a copper coin.

   But at this moment, the little Er Pidian Pidian ran back from the outside, came to Mei Jin with a grieved expression, and said slightly in tears.

   "Lord, Yinzhuang said that your silver bill is fake and cannot be exchanged for silver."

   Mei Jin almost didn't flash when he heard the words, and asked with a look of surprise.

   "My bank note is fake?"

   Xiao Er nodded, and returned the silver ticket to Mei Jin. Mei Jin took a closer look, and it was indeed the one he gave Xiao Er.

   But can the court rewards be fake?

   Mei Jin has some doubts about life.

   And this plot is different from the original one. Isn’t it only the copper coins that counterfeit it? Why did the bank note also fall?
