A few days later, the imperial decree arrived in Nanjing, Jiangfu Yin was dismissed from office, and the father and son were immediately arrested and sent to the capital.
Two days later, another decree from the imperial court arrived, and Feng Ent, the magistrate of Jiangning County, was made an exception to adjust the affairs of the rural examination. Qin Dewei sighed at this, this is the benefit of having big legs.
After that, the work of the county government shifted entirely to the administration of rural examinations, and Qin Dewei took the initiative to retire and really went home to study.
Helping Feng Zhixian with this job is enough! The examinations that will follow are all routine tasks with precedents to follow. If you can't even do this well, Feng Zhixian might as well go home and become the richest man as soon as possible.
Moreover, Gongyuan has special significance to scholars, and Qin Dewei does not want to appear here as a clerk. After all, he is also a scholar, and he must have the reserve of a scholar in his heart.
Besides, the first impression is very important. Qin Dewei did not want to appear openly in front of more than 3,000 of the most elite officials with the image of a swordsman and penman.
However, Qin Dewei, who was studying at home, was still a little absent-minded and always looked toward the door subconsciously. This lack of concentration made Xu Miaoxuan very dissatisfied.
Qin Dewei could only explain: "The county magistrate proposed the township examination. Mr. Zeng and others know my relationship with the county magistrate. Do you think they will come to me?"
Xu Miaoxuan asked: "Well, young man, do you want them to come, or do you not want them to come?"
Qin Dewei smiled bitterly: "I don't know either."
But in the end, until the provincial examination started, none of the people who rented Qin Dewei's house came to Qin Dewei to have a relationship.
The first session of the provincial examination was held on the ninth day of August. Qin Dewei hurriedly hurriedly rushed, and finally passed the assessment of the governess on the eighth day of August, fulfilling his promise to memorize the Spring and Autumn Period before the provincial examination.
The second session is August 12th, the third session is August 15th, and then the provincial examination is completed. The results are usually released at the end of August.
The time span from beginning to end was more than 20 days. For more than 3,000 people, it was probably the most painful period of their lives.
But this suffering has nothing to do with Qin Dewei for the time being. Instead, he is temporarily liberated because he memorized the Spring and Autumn Period!
While others are taking entrance exams, Qin Dewei is thinking about who to go out to have fun with and relax, brother-in-law Xu Shi'an or Wang Lianqing?
At this time, a military attaché under Wang Da Sima came to look for him, saying that it was Wang Da Sima who invited him, and specifically asked Qin Dewei to bring the banknote.
Qin Dewei: ""
Unexpectedly, I never expected that Wang Dashima, a gentleman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually ask for money!
Then Qin Dewei was in pain. He relied on his virtue to convince people, and he really didn't use money to make friends and build relationships with others.
Wang Da Sima spoke this time and had to give it, but how much is appropriate? The key is that Wang Da Sima didn’t say what the reason was, which made people particularly embarrassed.
After much deliberation, Qin Dewei decided to go there first. After asking about the origin and number, he decided to wait until he had the opportunity.
At this time, Sima Wang had already finished the report and finished rectifying the officials' errands. It was really impossible to continue the rectification, so he returned to the Ministry of War to work.
Seeing Qin Dewei coming in, Wang Tingxiang stretched out his hand and said: "Show me the banknote."
Qin Dewei sighed and couldn't help but said: "Da Sima, the way you ask for money is too awkward and not tactful."
Wang Tingxiang frowned and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"There are many kinds of excuses for asking for money. How can I just ask for a banknote directly? It is not subtle enough." Qin Dewei and Wang Tingxiang were also familiar with each other, and they persuaded him sincerely.
"And if you want money, you must choose someone to ask for. I would like to recommend Magistrate Feng. His family is rich, the magistrate has a lot of money, and he also owns a large number of bank shares. He is the best person to ask for, Da Sima.
You don't need much money for a talented person like me, and you might even be satirized by me writing a poem, so why bother?
So please tell me the amount, and I will ask Magistrate Feng for you."
"Bastard!" Wang Tingxiang was furious and scolded the primary school student: "Who asked you for money? I just wanted to borrow your banknote!"
Qin Dewei praised: "The borrowed words are used well, the boss has such a high understanding!"
Wang Tingxiang felt that he was a little short of words: "I just heard about the Yuanfeng account and wanted to see what your banknotes look like!"
Qin Dewei nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Magistrate Feng is the secret owner of the Yuan Feng. Sir, tell me the amount, and I will personally take the banknotes and let you see enough."
Wang Da Sima was so angry at the primary school that he didn't want to speak. He gave an order and the soldiers rushed in outside the door.
Several big men held down the primary school student again, searched him, scraped out the pocket money he had brought with him, which was a Yuanfeng banknote with a face value of 50 taels, and presented it to Wang Dashima.
This made Qin Dewei feel very bad, reminding him of the sad memory of being robbed after school when he was in elementary school in his previous life.
Wang Tingxiang held the banknote and looked at it over and over again. Qin Dewei was stunned, did Wang Dasima really mean to look at the banknote?
"How is this banknote protected from counterfeiting?" Wang Dashima asked.
Qin Dewei explained: "There are mainly three aspects. First, the banknote paper is specially made. Our bank has a special papermaking factory under the bank. The paper has a secret seal and a number.
Second, the signatures and seals used for issuing invoices are all in special cursive characters, making it difficult for others to imitate them.
Thirdly, the writing on the ticket is coded with code words, which are changed every month, so outsiders cannot understand it."
Wang Tingxiang replied: "There is still a slight possibility that it can be forged, right?"
Qin Dewei further explained: "It is almost impossible to completely prevent counterfeiting, but we can use our best efforts to prevent it. Increasing the cost of counterfeiting and being able to detect it in time will achieve the goal."
Wang Tingxiang nodded secretly, which made some sense. There are still fake silvers, and it is not surprising that banknotes are occasionally counterfeited, as long as the quantity does not affect the overall situation.
Qin Dewei asked curiously: "Why does Da Sima suddenly care about this?"
Wang Tingxiang didn't want to hide anything and replied: "I am considering whether to use silver notes to pay officers and soldiers."
Qin Dewei almost knelt down and said repeatedly: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it! Yuanfeng is still very weak now!"
There are more than 40 guards in Nanjing City, and the number of regular troops is more than 100,000. Yuanfeng has small arms and legs. How can he get this business!
Wang Tingxiang was speechless. When elementary school students are reliable, they are really reliable, but when they are not reliable, they don’t know how their brain circuits are developed.
I couldn't help but shouted again: "That's all a dream of yours. Each guard army naturally has its own warehouse, so why should I worry about it!"
What I’m referring to this time is the battalion officers who are preparing for drills at the school grounds! The Ministry of War must provide a subsidy to some extent!”
This seems possible. Qin Deweimo calculated the amount of water and made a judgment.
Wang Tingxiang continued: "I think this is what I think. Every time your bank issues a banknote first, the Ministry of War issues the banknote to the officers and soldiers of the battalion, and then sends the total amount of cash to the bank."
Qin Dewei immediately said: "Master Wang, Sima, I am studying, but some things are still very clear to me.
If we issue all the banknotes first, but the Ministry of War delays in sending cash to the Yuanfeng, wouldn't it be possible that the Yuanfeng will suddenly encounter a financial crisis?"
"You can't trust the officials of the Ministry of War?" Wang Tingxiang asked.
Qin Dewei slowly shook his head: "I can't believe it, not only the Ministry of War, but also the Ministry of War. Unless the Ministry of War deposits a deposit in Yuanfeng."
Wang Tingxiang waved his hand: "You go down, I will think about it again!"
Qin Dewei reluctantly glanced at the five taels of silver notes in Da Sima's hand. Da Sima didn't even say that he would return the money to him, but just asked him to leave.
