077 Silver Mountain Silver Sea
Jiu Shuai said that Ma Bao was killed in battle, that is, he was killed in battle, and although there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at the harbor, Ma Bao was still killed in battle. This is the majesty of the commander of the army, and it is the power that the Han people hold after they turn over.
"Go back and send three thousand taels to Ma Bao's family, the good eldest son is gone, tsk......tt" Zeng Guoquan sat back in the chair from the window, pecked a sip of fragrant tea, and his face was as light as if he had just crushed an ant.
The massacre on the harbor is still continuing, after the death of the old man and Ma Bao, it is the ruffians under the pigtail grandson who pushed up, with the assistance of countless green forest people, the underground forces of the entire Tanggu City were swept away, and the disciples and grandchildren of the pigtail grandson did not run away.
The sword light flashed on the dock one by one, the heads of the people in line rolled to the ground, and the blood arrows spurted in the air, and the bloody gas hit people's noses like substance. Tongzhi Zhou Mingkui is a civil official after all, and the task of supervising and beheading him this time was forced by Jiu Shuai, where has he ever seen such a bloody scene, he just died two rows of people and he crawled to the side and vomited.
Not only him, but not a single merchant and common man present did not vomit, and there were so many dead people they saw yesterday and today, and those who were a little less firm in their minds were afraid of collapse.
Especially the group of businessmen led by the cattle shopkeeper of the Sihai Cargo Station, standing in a corner with iron faces one by one, watching the scene of rolling heads in front of them, they had nothing but despair in their hearts.
Why did you come here? Aren't we looking for death when we get together with the surnamed Huang and the pigtailed grandson? We are businessmen, we are all ninth-rate businessmen, who doesn't bully us in black and white? How can we choose to make trouble with them? It's good now, I've offended Xiao Letian thoroughly, and the next wave will cut off our heads.
The cattle shopkeeper came with a mortal heart, and now that the whole city of Tanggu is under martial law, they can't escape if they want to, and they don't dare to escape. In yesterday's riot, all the businesses were robbed, and in addition to the bulky and worthless goods, the floating wealth had long been swept away by the mob.
Everyone looked at the smashed and dilapidated doors of their houses and the burning warehouse, and they knew that their struggle and efforts for half a lifetime were completely finished today.
What's even more terrifying is that they have a feud with a raptor like Xiao Letian, and this raptor seems to not only have an armed man, but also has a very good relationship with the Hunan army. What can we do about this? Ma Bao and Huang Juren are dead, can we businessmen still live?
Now the only hope is that these people did not directly mix up the riots, but just ran on the business, I hope Xiao Letian will not be wiped out.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, and the businessmen who were lying on the ground vomiting finally collapsed, and Boss Wang, who was the first to sell Xiao Letian's bristles in Lotte Bank, suddenly rushed out of the crowd like crazy, kneeling downstairs at the cargo station where Xiao Lotian was and kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, please raise your noble hand, I am a small businessman who does not enter the stream, and I have only been picking up everyone's back to eat all my life, I really don't want to go against you...... I'm really afraid of the threat of Huang Juren and the pigtailed grandson, please be considerate and considerate...... All my family property is exchanged for my rotten life, please raise your noble hand......" After saying the jumping kowtow, the door of the head was hit with blood.
There is a first, there is a second, the merchants who were terrified in this massacre have no idea for their lives, they took out the title deed and silver tickets in their arms, raised their hands and begged Xiao Lotian to reward, trying to exchange their own lives.
At this time, even the executioners stopped, and watched the hundreds of merchants kneeling on the stone slabs in front of the freight station, crying to the sky. At this time, Zhou Mingkui also secretly wiped his tears, and he didn't know that he had moved the root of the clearing field, and said in a low voice, "I knew that today, why did I have to be in the beginning?" I said it, the great master of Western Studies is the reincarnation of the stars in the sky, although it is the reincarnation of the foreign stars, it is not something you can humiliate...... Tut-tut, miserable!"
Xiao Letian stood by the window, looking at the businessman kneeling down in front of him, he did not have the excitement after the slap in the face, nor the refreshment after revenge, his heart was like falling into an abyss, only sadness remained.
This is the Qing Dynasty, this is the merchant at the end of the four peoples of Shinong, industry and commerce. It is said that businessmen are not traitors or businessmen, and they all say that they are mercenary and morally low, but who knows what kind of life these businessmen lived during the thousands of years of Confucian rule in China.
In the feudal dynasty, among those famous big businessmen in China, did one of them end up with good results? Needless to say, think about Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty, and then look at Hu Xueyan in the Qing Dynasty, these are already top businessmen, what will happen in the end?
And these people kneeling in front of them are all small businessmen who are not worthy of leaving their names in history, they are diligently busy, struggling between black and white, as if any person on the street who can call him a lord can step on their feet.
Yes, they are not moral gentlemen, and they dare not guarantee that they are all honest in their life's business, but they are not lowly, they are also living people, and they use their hard work and ingenuity to make profits, what is the sin of this?
Look at them, this visceral fear of power has been the dream demon of the merchant group for thousands of years, just a small fight for wealth, they actually think that they will kill them.
This kind of delusion of victimization, which is almost obsessive-compulsive, made Xiao Letian want to cry, and he suddenly felt that these businessmen were too pitiful. How sad it is that he only showed the power in his hands for a moment, and he has already frightened these merchants to buy their lives with all their possessions.
Xiao Lotian took a few deep breaths, opened his mouth and said to these businessmen, "Don't you want to fight with me to get rich?" Then today I will let you open your eyes and see how rich Lao Tzu is...... While Xiao Lotian was speaking, Xiang Shaolong made a gesture into the distance, and then the two heralds quickly ran into the distance.
"Stand up for me, the man has gold under his knees, so it's not a shame to cry and fall to his knees!" Xiao Le gave an angel a look, and then a group of guards rushed up, and these slumped businessmen were all dragged up.
Almost at the same time, the sound of a car rolling over the stone road sounded on the long street in the distance, and soon a single-horse flatbed truck appeared in front of everyone, and on the car were actually several heavy silver boxes, the lids had all been opened, and the white silver light emanated.
"Wow, silver! What a big silver ing......ot," the crowd exclaimed, and one by one tried to get closer, but was stopped by the alley of the army.
The carriages appeared in front of the people's eyes one after another, and the merchants were also dumbfounded at this time, they have been dealing with money all their lives, and their eyes can see clearly, each of these boxes can be filled with 10,000 taels of silver, and so many carts can't pull out 300,000 taels of silver?
Just when everyone was stunned, suddenly among the prisoners who were not dead on the execution ground, two terrible roars came out, "Mine, that's our Huang family's silver...... God, why don't you open your eyes and take away these bandits! They robbed us of our money, and that was our Huang family's money......
It was Huang Juren's wife and son who were crying, both of them were also on the list of death row prisoners, and it was estimated that it would be their turn in a while. Xiao Lotian pouted, "Scrooge, I don't understand what money is until I die......"
At this time, the nine handsome next to him spoke, "Oh, then you know what money is!" the old man asked with great interest. Xiao Letian blinked, "Money is a public weapon, it doesn't belong to anyone, it only belongs to the whole society, stupid people will hold the money in their hands, or even bury it in the ground and wait for it to mold......"
"Smart people are different, they can make money and spend money, and what money represents is just the amount of resources that a person can mobilize by living in this world. The wise man uses the power brought by money, not the money itself, and this is what Scrooge will do sooner or later......"
"Good ......" Zeng Guoquan slapped the table and stood up at that time, "That's right, how many people just can't understand this trend, since Gu Wei's husband has all taken advantage of the situation, and has tried his best to promote and transform the general trend of the world, how can a good man be a miser, money has to be spent to be money, otherwise what's the difference with donkey dung eggs......"
Zeng Guoquan likes this young man more and more, although he still can't understand it a little now, but Xiao Letian's talent is completely convinced. If my Zeng family wants to go further, this kind of talent must be grasped in their hands.
Just when Jiu Shuai was full of fantasies, the performance of showing off his wealth on the street downstairs had entered a climax. Ten silver carts pulled 300,000 taels of silver and walked in the front, and behind them was a long row of big men. The two men carried a large basket, which was full of eagles, and there were more than 5,000 in one basket.
"Good guy, Xiao Letian is so rich!" the people and businessmen who watched the excitement swallowed a mouthful of spit. Especially those businessmen who are trying to get rich in Lotte Bank, watching no less than a million taels of Yingyang slowly lift in front of them, everyone lowered their heads, especially the cattle shopkeeper was already blushing at this time.
Xiao Lotian stood on the second floor of the cargo station, sighed with a long sigh, and sighed secretly in his heart: "This Tanggu merchant war can be regarded as a victory, fortunately, Lao Tzu asked Xiao Hexin to escort another batch of silver coins in advance, otherwise it would really be impossible to suppress these well-informed maritime merchants." ”
It turned out that before Xiao Lotian arrived in Tanggu, he had already made a stereotype of the main business of Lotte Bank, which was mainly based on overseas trade in the early stage, and gradually transferred to silver trade with the United States and Mexico in the later stage.
To this end, Xiao Lotian prepared a large number of silver coins, the purpose of which was to exchange loose silver with these merchants in Tanggu, and his purpose was to establish the currency credit of Mexico Eagle Ocean here in Tanggu now, but he did not expect that this second batch of silver coins became his biggest backup force for fighting for wealth.
Xiao Lotian transferred as many as 500,000 Yingyang from Yixian in the later period, and 18 of the Cao boats were used alone, plus the 400,000 Yingyang that was mobilized before, and now Lotte has 900,000 silver coins to use. Coupled with the 300,000 taels of silver ingots snatched from Huang Ju's family, Xiao Letian is now not afraid of any businessman's challenge.
In the entire Tanggu City, who has the most cash flow in his hands? Except for Xiao Letian, there is no second person.
Note: Xinjing put a bowl, and then beg for food, the new book period is so difficult, everyone has money to hold a money field, no money to hold a personal field, the main station needs the help of your bosses, you appreciate two flowers dozens of clicks, even if it is a great favor to help Xinjing.
