Chapter 589: It Is Difficult to Reverse What Has Been Done

Chapter 582: It’s hard to recover after overturning the water

"I have no control over you selling slaves in the South, or making cakes out of Mexican flowers and selling them in Europe. But one thing is, no matter who of you, including my own relatives and friends, breaks the rules of the West Coast, you will be treated as The local laws are useless, don’t blame me, Liang, for turning against others!”

Weixiu Junei, Sacramento, just returned to Sacramento from Texas by private train. Liang Yao, who was discussing currency issues with Fremont and Strauss, had a bad look on Wu Yuanhua, Pan Zhengwei, Robinson and others who came to visit.

The trial of Huang Kangrui and others of Funing Group for minting counterfeit currency has ended.

A total of 687 criminals, large and small, will be executed at the Sacramento Civic Plaza this Sunday.

This is the first major case since the establishment of California and has attracted widespread public attention.

Well-known local newspapers such as "California Daily", "Jinshan Evening News", "Los Angeles Daily", and "Sacramento Daily" have focused on the Funing Group's case of minting counterfeit coins, and have announced the results of the state court's trial and the death penalty list.

Among those involved who are about to be executed, there are many managers from Jardine Matheson Group, Tongfu Group, and Boston Group, although these managers are not core members of these groups.

But it still caused a huge stir in California and throughout the West.

Wu Yuanhua, Pan Zhengwei, Robinson and others made a special trip to Weixiuju to visit Liang Yao to intercede with Liang Yao, hoping that Liang Yao could be more tolerant to the people in their group.

"I hope you will bear in mind that they are first-time offenders, and for the sake of my face, you will be accommodating to these fools. After I return, I will strictly control them." Wu Yuanhua lowered his head and begged sincerely.

Although the members of the Wu family involved in the Funing Group counterfeit currency case were all distant relatives, they were still Wu family members. The Wu family members were sentenced to death, and it would not sound good if word spread about it.

As for Pan Zhengwei, his attitude is more Buddhist. No members of the Pan family were involved in the Funing Group's counterfeit currency case, and they were not as deeply involved as the Wu family. The people involved in the Pan family's case were just a few blind domestic slaves.

Therefore, Pan Zhengwei took a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter. First, he would see what Liang Yao's attitude was towards Wu Yuanhua. If Liang Yao was willing to be more generous to distant relatives of the Wu family, he would also take advantage of the opportunity to ask for mercy for his domestic slaves.

If Liang Yao showed a selfless attitude, he also showed an attitude of righteousness and annihilation of relatives in order to improve the impression of the Pan family and Tongfu Group in Liang Yao's mind.

The death of a few slaves was a small matter, but it was a big deal to get angry with Liang Yao and make Liang Yao have a grudge against the Pan family and Tongfu Group.

After all, his precious grandson is still serving as a justice in the Territory of Utah. He also serves as the vice chairman of the Immigration Committee of the Territory of Utah and is responsible for immigration work in the Colorado Territory. His grandson's future depends entirely on Liang Yao's thoughts.

As for Robinson, his attitude is even more Buddhist. The Boston Group is not a family group and adopts a partnership system.

Rather than interceding with those involved in the group, Robinson's purpose of taking the train back from Kansas was more to intercede with Liang Yao, hoping that the Boston Group's coinage quota would not be reduced. After all, the profits from monopolizing coinage are too great and too tempting.

"What a first offender. Liangyi, I didn't expect these words to come out of your mouth. You are the founding father of Ohio and the first governor of Oklahoma." Liang Yao shook his head very disappointedly, " Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you don’t abide by the laws and rules you set yourself, but you still expect the people below to abide by them?”

"The emperor breaks the law, just like the common people. This old man has taken the liberty to visit here, hoping that you can severely punish the people in the Tongfu Group who were involved in the Funing Group's counterfeit currency case, so as to set an example!" Pan Zhengwei said sadly.

"It's because the old man is busy with official duties and neglects to discipline his subordinates. As a result, these domestic slaves become more and more rampant and have no rules. They don't even care about California law! These people must be severely punished! Shooting them is a light sentence. ! They should be chopped alive!"

Wu Yuanhua on the side looked at Pan Zhengwei, an old comrade in his sixties, with a face full of surprise. Knowing that he was manipulated by Pan Zhengwei and used as a gun, Wu Yuanhua greeted all the female members of Pan Zhengwei's family in his heart.

Damn it, this bad old man is very bad. We agreed to come together to plead with Liang Yao, but I didn't expect that this bad old man saw that the situation was not right and his ability to adapt to the wind was better than that of the sailors in Jinshan Bay.

Wu Yuanhua turned his attention to Robinson aside, thinking that Robinson was one of the founding fathers of California, the first governor of California, and had a close relationship with Liang Yao. Robinson should be able to speak in front of Liang Yao.

"People who have been convicted, no matter which group they belong to, can be dealt with how they should be dealt with." Robinson also expressed his position. He said to Liang Yao, "But can we not reduce our coinage quota and pay a fine instead? "

The ghost guys are indeed a group of profiteers who have fallen in the eyes of money. After hearing Robinson's statement, Wu Yuanhua couldn't help but spit on Robinson.

What Robinson cares about is not that Liang Yao has to deal with the people involved in the Boston Group, but that the Boston Group's minting quota has been reduced.

"It's difficult to recover from overflowing water. The decision I have made cannot be changed. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Let's end it here." After speaking, Liang Yao turned to look at Zeiss and said, "Zeiss, bring up the sample banknotes."

After a while, Zeiss held a delicate wooden box and slowly placed it on the table in the reception room and opened it.

Inside the wooden box, there was a set of US dollar banknotes similar to banknotes.

This kind of banknotes is made of high-quality cotton paper, which is tough, durable, not easy to tear or wear, has a certain degree of water resistance, and has a relatively smooth surface.

There are a total of 4 different denominations of sample banknotes in the wooden box, from high to low, they are 10 US dollars, 5 US dollars, 2 US dollars, and 1 US dollar.

The main color of this set of banknotes is red, and the 10 US dollar banknote is printed with a blue dragon pattern, and the corners of the banknote are supplemented with taotie patterns. The 5 US dollar banknote is printed with a white tiger pattern, and the corners of the banknote are supplemented with lotus patterns. The 2 US dollar banknote is printed with a red bird pattern, and the 1 US dollar banknote is printed with a black tortoise pattern. The corners of these two denominations of banknotes are supplemented with auspicious cloud patterns.

In general, this is a set of banknotes with very beautiful printing.

Among the people present, Fremont, Strauss and Robinson were the most interested in this set of newly printed banknotes. They were attracted by the characteristic patterns on the banknotes and thought that this set of banknotes was very good.

"The paper quality of this banknote is very good, and the printing process and anti-counterfeiting process are impeccable. It is better than the banknotes I have seen on the market. Are you going to print a brand new banknote?" Robinson picked up a red banknote with a face value of $1 and rubbed it for a while and said.

"No, this is not a banknote." Liang Yao corrected, "This is a serious currency."

The early banknotes and currencies in the United States are essentially different. Banknotes are a credit instrument issued by a specific bank and need to rely on the bank's reputation to be exchanged, while currency is a means of payment issued by the government or an authority, with legal payment status, and can be freely circulated in the market without separate exchange.
