These guards were also stunned.

They had no choice but to let Fan Wencheng pass and enter the palace.

As soon as he saw Huang Taiji.

Fan Wencheng immediately pulled a stack of treasure notes from his chest and said to Huang Taiji,

"Your Majesty, I went out of the city today to buy some household items. Please see what these merchants gave me as change."

In Fan Wencheng's hand, he was tightly clutching seven or eight "one guan" denomination Great Ming treasure notes.

Huang Taiji's eyebrows immediately furrowed tightly.

He gritted his teeth and asked,

"This, this... is Great Ming treasure notes?"

But very quickly, Huang Taiji immediately realized what was happening.

"This is not something like waste paper; how did it flow into Shengjing?"

Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji with a face full of terror and said,

"Your Majesty, now these Great Ming treasure notes are not waste paper anymore."

"Merchants in Shengjing, for any large transaction, must use treasure notes."

"Even quite a few farmers and even the Eight Banners descendants are looking for connections to exchange for treasure notes."

"With this situation, I fear that within a few months, all the Bai Yin of our Great Qing will be transported to the Great Ming Ministry of Revenue's national treasury!"

Hearing this.

Huang Taiji immediately realized the Yan Zhongxing of the problem.

Two armies fighting.

You Great Ming come and empty all the silver from my house; how can this war be fought?

The most terrifying thing is.

Huang Taiji knows this is waste paper.

The people of Shengjing know this is waste paper.

But they all accepted this thing.

Even the most core Eight Banners descendants of Great Qing are using these Great Ming treasure notes.

What thing made all these people accept the treasure notes almost overnight.

is what truly makes Huang Taiji terrified!

Who in the world does not know the Ming?! Three.

170, Huang Taiji: My father and I started our enterprise for thirty years, yet we are so fragile?

Inside the Great Politics Hall, Huang Taiji stared tightly at these few Great Ming treasure notes in his hand.

From the appearance.

These Great Ming treasure notes are no different from those "waste papers" in Huang Taiji's memory.

Only the year of issuance has changed to the Chongzhen era.

"How is this possible... Before Father Han rose up in arms, he told me that these treasure notes were so leaky they were even disliked for pasting on windows; how have they now become real gold and silver?!"

Fan Wencheng shook his head and sighed,

"I also do not know; please, Your Majesty, quickly investigate this matter."

Hearing this.

Huang Taiji's eyebrows immediately tightened.

Then he stood up and said,

"Someone come."

"Your servant is here."

"Have any merchants come to Shengjing from inside the pass recently?"

The scribe behind him flipped through the recent Memorials to the throne, then clasped his hands and said,

"Reporting to my master, Squire Wang Dengku just brought a batch of goods to Shengjing yesterday."

Huang Taiji's face sank; looking at Fan Wencheng, he said,

"Prepare the carriage and horses; I want to see Squire Wang."

"Yes."

Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng immediately rushed to the Bingbuya Sect of the Qing court.

Just arriving outside the Viceroy Yamen.

Huang Taiji heard the sound of Dorgon and Wang Dengku arguing inside the Viceroy Yamen.

"Prince, it is truly not that this commoner is unwilling to accept your silver; it is just that carrying so much silver, this commoner cannot return inside the pass!"

"This is Great Qing, not Great Ming; where can we find treasure notes for you? Do you want this Prince to write a letter to the Guanning garrison troops to exchange for some treasure notes?"

Wang Dengku looked at Dorgon with a helpless smile and said,

"Prince, if, if it is so, then this commoner can only take these goods and return first."

"No good, let us wait for next time, wait until our Great Qing prepares treasure notes and then...?"

If it were before the Battle of Xingshan.

Wang Dengku would have forced his way through the pass rather than use Great Ming treasure notes.

But now it is different.

Even a fool can see that these Northern Hu in the lands outside the pass are merely a broken wall; whoever kicks it, can kick it down directly.

These merchants naturally cannot be as bold as before to tear up their face with Great Ming just for their small amount of silver.

Just as Dorgon was about to speak and reprimand.

The clerks in the Viceroy Yamen knelt to the ground in unison.

"Your humble servant pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Wang Dengku saw Huang Taiji arrive and was stunned.

Then he suddenly knelt to the ground.

"Commoner Wang Dengku pays homage to Your Majesty of Great Qing!"

Huang Taiji stared fiercely at Wang Dengku and asked.

"Squire Wang, we have cooperated for so many years; why do you suddenly make things difficult for Great Qing this time?"

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Wang Dengku could not help but look troubled.

"Your Majesty, you truly do not know."

"A few days ago, the Great Ming Grand Council issued an edict, stating that we who travel the Western Pass may only bring paper money back upon entering the pass, not silver."

"If the border soldiers discover this, my head will not be safe!"

Huang Taiji's expression was gradually turning solemn.

Staring at Wang Dengku, he asked.

"Must it be Great Ming's paper money? Where would Great Qing get such paper money for you?"

Hearing this, Wang Dengku hurriedly smiled.

"Your Majesty need not worry; I have connections at the Bureau of Paper Money. As soon as silver is seen, paper money can be exchanged immediately!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Dengku finished speaking.

Huang Taiji's expression instantly became ferocious; staring fiercely at Wang Dengku, he smiled and asked.

"Squire Wang, do you know what crime it is to deceive the sovereign?"

As soon as the words were spoken.

The Eight Banners soldiers behind Huang Taiji suddenly drew the broadswords at their waists.

Seeing the gleaming curved blades.

Wang Dengku went "thump" and knelt to the ground.

Kneeling on the ground, he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, spare my life; this commoner was bewitched and spoke rashly for a moment."

"The Bureau of Paper Money on the Great Ming side does not ask about the source of the silver; as long as there is silver, it can be exchanged for paper money immediately. Your Majesty can simply send people to enter the pass to exchange some!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and roared.

"Nonsense! Do you expect me to move Great Qing's entire treasury to Great Ming?!"
