"Nan Chao" is the northerners' name for the banknotes with Cao Da's image printed on them.

For a long time, credit issues and the bad examples of Ming Dynasty banknotes have caused northerners to have concerns about southern banknotes. Except for the business circles of port cities, the issuance of southern banknotes in other traditional areas of the Ming Dynasty has been very slow, and people have not accepted it.

Not to a high degree.

Unintentional insertion of willows and willows makes a shadow. Businessmen, especially those in the branch industry of businessmen, and the "road" people running around in various directions have completely different attitudes towards Nanchao.

Big brothers especially like this kind of equivalent that is convenient and concealed to carry. As long as Nanqiao can be exchanged for various supplies around Tianjin, there are no taboos for big brothers to use it.

After all, you need to relax and spend some time after work.

As for the credit issue... Rolling ball, I don’t even know if I can see the sun tomorrow. Who cares about whether the South Korean currency will depreciate next month? This is an international financial issue, and it is not the Federal Reserve.

The only thing that affects the circulation of Nanjing banknotes among various illegal organizations is the chronic disease of counterfeit banknotes.

Don't underestimate Akito.

A group that can make one counterfeit silver ingot into ten or twenty craft schools is fully capable of producing several counterfeit banknotes for circulation.

Counterfeit banknotes, as long as they look similar. Most outsiders are ignorant bumpkins anyway. One day there won’t be enough fools.

As a result, Tianjin's local painters, embroiderers, antiques, painters, gold sales shops and other industries quickly took action and began to make quick money by taking advantage of the information gap.

The sudden wave of counterfeit banknotes not only caused the victims to curse, but also the people who traveled through time were stunned, and they had a deeper understanding of the execution ability of the ancients.

After that, the "163x Financial Anti-Counterfeiting Special Campaign" was launched urgently, which is another story.

In short, today the Taihang Gang is proficient in identifying southern banknotes, because they have paid tuition and paid the price before.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, in the end, the younger brother in charge of banknote inspection raised his thumb.

Brother Chen, who looked drunk but was actually staring intently with a hint of nervousness in his eyes... was wrong, it was Taihang Gu's boss, so he showed a brotherly smile, put his arm around Gang Leader Ha's shoulders, and laughed and killed him

Wine in bowl.

From this moment on, the two groups, who were sure that they were sincerely dealing with each other, finally held a celebration banquet without any grudges.

The scene of joyful drinking lasted for a long time. It was not until seven o'clock in the night when the wine was all gone that it came to an end. In the end, the people who could still be left at the table were very neat, with three on each side, all of their own age.

Always with two confidants, among the drinkers, they finally became like family members, good brothers who knew everything.

In this delicate atmosphere, Gu Ming finally asked a question he wanted to know with the help of his wine: Why did the Guangxi Gang want to fight against thieves before?

Don't talk about uneven distribution of the spoils. The horse bandits' share is simply not worth the Guangdong Gang's breaking of the rules... If you want to be popular, you should also unite with the smaller horse bandits, the Huohing Taihang Gang, to make money. Gu Ming was there at the time

At the scene, he knew very well that the fire incident was planned by the Guangyi Gang from the beginning and was a specially planned operation.

Facts have proved that not one of the real core figures in the two gangs was drunk at this moment.

When Ha Liu, who was originally drunk, suddenly turned to look at his head, his eyes also showed clarity. When he saw a problem, he took his time and gave an explanation in a righteous manner: he was involved in a personal vendetta.

Ha Liu's answer was not what Gu Ming expected, it was similar to what he had guessed in advance.

Compared with the Taihang Gang, where most of the people are "infantry" and have weak mobility, the Guangyi Gang and the Horse Bandits, where all members have mounts, do have a problem of overlapping functions when "doing business".

The saying goes that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, which is roughly what it means.

"To tell you the truth, brother, last year in Duoyanwei, Ma Jie attacked a convoy at night. There was my brother's butt in there."

"Oh, no wonder."

"The Jianghu is the Jianghu. Brother, since I knocked out my teeth and swallowed my blood that day, Ma Jie can't blame me for being ruthless today."

"It should, it should!"

That's right. There must be personal grudges, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there were so many horse bandits, and why Ha Liu chose to join Ma Jie's group.

Putting aside the last doubt in his mind, Gu Ming picked up the hard box of cigarettes on the table and smoked them. Then, through the smoke puffed out in front of him, Gu Ming said seriously: "Brother, although this is the first time we have done business together, but

Brother just thinks that we are destined and is willing to make you a brother. I won’t say more, but in the future, if you can find me somewhere useful, just say hello to me, brother!"

All along, from Ha Liu's forbearance when the three parties assigned tasks to Ha Liu's generous concessions when dividing the spoils, all the details made Gu Ming have a guess: Ha Liu really wanted to cooperate with the Taihang Gang.

This conjecture was confirmed soon after the banquet started. At that time, Ha Liu accidentally let it slip that there would be a big deal during the New Year.

At this time, after a series of testing sessions, Gu Ming's words truly expressed his intention to cooperate.

"Wait, I've been waiting for my brother's words."

Ha Liu held a cigarette between his fingers and said with the same stern face: "No need to worry about the future, brother has a big deal right now, and I want to join forces with brother to do it again!"

"Tell me and listen!"

The next moment, there was only a "crash" sound, but Ha Liu stretched out his arms and swept everything in front of him under the table.

Next, Ha Liu took out his wallet from his pocket with a solemn expression, then opened the zipper and carefully took out a stack of paper from the interlayer.

Putting the stack of yellowed paper on the table, Ha Liu unfolded it gently, and everyone leaned over to take a closer look. They found a map the size of a washbasin.

"This is?"

After glancing at the map and roughly seeing the city gates, protective walls, lookout towers and other figures drawn with ink, Gu Ming suddenly had a feeling: "Could it be the terrain of a certain village?"

After blowing out a puff of smoke, Ha Liu stared at Gu Ming for a long time before making up his mind and preaching word for word: "Anguogu Family Collection."

When Gu Ming and his three confidants heard these words, they all took a breath: "How brave! It's actually the Gujiaji!"

Anguo County is just south of Baoding. Since ancient times, Anguo has been the largest medicinal market in northern China. There are many wealthy merchants here, and it is a place where gold and silver flow. Due to its geographical location, Gujiaji is just at the intersection of Sancha, and it is just a day's journey from Anguo.

, so it has undertaken a lot of logistics work along the Anguo route.

Originally, Gujiazhuang was called Gujiazhuang, and it was just an ordinary village. But the patriarch of the Gu family was a visionary. After he came to power, he made great use of the superior geographical location to develop various commercial activities. Over the past twenty years, Gujiazhuang became hard.

It has created a reputation as a "Xiao'an Country" and transformed from Zhuangzi into a market town.

Such a wealthy market town lacked the protection of officers and soldiers, so it was naturally the focus of the surrounding people. However, the Gu family were not fools. After they had money, deep trenches, high walls, and earthen cannon watchtowers rose from the ground, and from the north.

The Tang River brought running water to build a moat, making the entire city impregnable.

Large groups of bandits who did not believe in evil had attacked Gujiaji before, and large groups of refugees had done the same thing. As a result, apart from grabbing some sundries from the peripheral market, the real core of Gujiajia was unable to be penetrated by the gangsters.

Not to mention, it actually cost a lot of people, and the gain outweighed the loss.

So when he learned that this piece of paper was the topographic map of Gujiaji today, Gu Ming's first reaction was that he had bitten an iron walnut. But then he suddenly realized: No, Ha Liu has a unique skill and can break down doors!

Gu Ming reacted instantly, and his heart was filled with enthusiasm: The Gu Family Waizi has been famous in the world for decades, and the gold and silver wealth there far exceeds that of a Yi Xinlong caravan.

In this way, all it takes is Ha Liu to open the gate... Isn't this a replica of Wu Huodun?

After thinking about this, Gu Ming scanned the terrain map with eager eyes and asked: "Brother, what are the regulations?"

Ha Liu was well prepared and confidently pointed at several places on the map. He first offered some inducements: "My brother has been working as a horseman in Gujiazhuangzi for a year and a half. These places are probably the size of the silver cellar."

Already."

Having said this, Ha Liudi punched the main entrance on the map: "As per the old rules, my people will use mines to blow open the gate of the Gu family."

"After that..." Ha Liu looked at Gu Ming helplessly: "Brothers don't have enough manpower, so I have to trouble you, brother!"

"Hahaha!" Gu Ming smiled naturally and happily at this moment.

Caravans like the Guangxi Gang focus on high-speed maneuvers and come and go like the wind. Although this combat mode is sophisticated, it has a shortcoming: it can only eat fast food, such as grabbing a caravan with its own carriage.

But this time, we are facing a small town with a huge amount of property. The property here includes not only gold and silver, but also various "trophies" such as food, merchandise, furniture, and even women and meat tickets.

This kind of dinner with many dishes does not have enough teeth, it is not full, and it is all wasted.

The Guangyi Gang has very few manpower. Even if the gate is breached, there will still be many time-limited programs to follow: street fighting, digging for silver coins, searching for property, loading trucks and carrying loads for evacuation, and other tasks that require a large number of manpower.

Gu Ming's heart is now the same as that of Ming Jing. The reason why Ha Liu has been expressing goodwill is that he may have landed on this deal.

"What will you say afterwards?"

"Old rules, 50-50 split!"

"Well..."

Speaking of this, Gu Ming touched his chin and finally weighed it up: Although the Taihang Clan had a lot of help, the key to getting into Gujia to gather some fun was the earth-shattering mine in Ha Liu's hands.

After spending half a cigarette to finally figure out the big issue of science and technology being the primary productive force, Mr. Gu stopped worrying and punched the map with his fist: "Let's make this vote with my brothers!"

"Brother is so proud!"

Leader Ha was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately pushed the advance map on the table...no, it was the topographic map of Gujiaji in front of Gu Ming: "Brother, take this map and send someone down the mountain to check it out."

Yes. If there is anything wrong, we can arrange it in time."

"really?"

Even though he knew that the other party had a unique landmine in his hand, so he was confident, Gu Ming was moved by the heroism of Gang Leader Ha at this moment. Putting away the map, Gu Ming strengthened his determination: "Brother, when will we start?"

"Well...I'm afraid it will be after the new year."

Gang leader Ha told the story happily: "This landmine costs one thousand two hundred taels per shot. I have to go back to Tianjin to open up my joints and buy one before the Chinese New Year."

Gu Ming knew that Ha Liu had done odd jobs for officers and soldiers, but he didn't expect that this guy would rely on this experience to have his own unique purchasing channel. After thinking about it, Gu Ming, who was experienced in robbery, came down the mountain and put forward an opinion: "The latest time to start is

It cannot be delayed past the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, otherwise the caravans will come and go and the guards will be in trouble."

"Just brother Yi!"

Coordination to this point, in the seventeenth century when communication relied on roaring, was already a tactical operation of precise coordination.

Next, Ha Liu arranged his itinerary: He will leave for Tianjin tomorrow, and will definitely come back with Shake Di Lei before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the latest. He will leave the second master, Tu Erye, as the liaison officer.
