The secret conversation was transferred to the study in the General Army's Mansion to continue.

There are double posts outside the door, all of them are pro-soldiers who have followed the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion for generations, and they are absolutely loyal and reliable.

There were drinks and food in the study, and several people chatted while eating, but the atmosphere was very solemn.

"What Nan Hebo said just now is actually right, the two plans compete fairly, and eighty percent of the losses are ours." Song Xiaoming drank a cup of hot Gaogou Daqu, and was furrowed with a spicy brow:

"So we have to do something about them to break down the confidence of the government and the opposition in them, so that we can ensure that we win."

"Hmm." Pingjiang Bo Chen Wangmo nodded, and said coldly: "We have no festivals with the Jiangnan Group and the kid surnamed Zhao, but they want to force us to death, we can't do anything to them!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Gu Huan asked noncommittally.

"Break all kinds of illusions they have created, and let the monarchs and ministers in Beijing see the harm of shipping and the weakness of the Jiangnan Group!" Song Xiaoming said in a deep voice.

"What is said is that Jiangnan Group took advantage of March and April, when the sea was not shocked, to carry out several sea shipments, in order to illustrate the safety and speed of shipping. Phew! Chen Wangmo smacked fiercely and said: "There is a kind of summer typhoon season to try, make sure there is not one left, all of them are fed to the dragon king!" ”

"The Sand Boat Gang understands sea floods. When it comes to the flood season, Bacheng will not go to sea. Moreover, the Jiangnan clique also knows that the biggest excuse for the DPRK and China to attack shipping is that it is not safe, and it will definitely be more careful. Song Xiaoming shook his head and lowered his voice: "Counting on them to have an accident on their own, I don't know if I wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon......

"What do you mean......" Chen Wangmo looked at him a few times, and couldn't help but gasp. Find a way to him at sea? ”

"Not bad." Song Xiaoming nodded, and sneered with gloomy eyes: "Didn't the Jiangnan Group make a big deal of propaganda, from Chongming to Tianjin, in ten days?" I asked people to check, and they must have taken the third route of Mengyuan Caoyun that year, leaving the Heishui Ocean in the east, turning west on Tamna Island, and flowing down the ocean to Chengshantou. ”

"Hmm." Chen Wangmo nodded in unison, no matter whether he understood it or not, he showed that he understood it very well, otherwise wouldn't it be a shame for his ancestors?

"It's a fast water, but it's too far from the coast, and the farthest point is thousands of miles away." Song Xiaoming pinched a chopstick and chewed a little hideously: "It's really self-defeating!" ”

"Uh-huh!" A few nobles now understood. The coastal guard post of the Ming Dynasty was only used to defend against the landing of the Japanese and monitor the people who were not allowed to go to sea. The ocean is the world of pirates and pirates, and what happens has nothing to do with the people on shore.

"What does the shopkeeper of Song mean is that we should summon some pirates and ambush him?" Chen Wangmo asked softly.

"Not bad." Song Xiaoming nodded and said, "It's just that the Jiangnan Group's fleet is too big, at least more than a hundred, and there will definitely be no fewer guards arranged." The sea robbers in the north are too weak, I'm afraid they won't be enough to see it, and they have to be the sea lords on the other side of Fujian and Guangdong to dare to fight their ideas. ”

"Fujian and Guangdong are fighting with Yu Dayou, and we don't know Lin Daoqian, Zeng Yiyi and the like." Another person who participated in the secret conversation was Li Yangong, the son of the Marquis of Linhuai.

After Xu Pengju fell ill, it was his son Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, who was in charge of the Nanjing Military Mansion. Li Tingzhu was inconvenient to come over, so he asked Li Yangong to be the representative. However, this little marquis is also nearly thirty years old, and he has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for nearly ten years, which is enough weight.

"Yes, I can't count on it." Song Xiaoming nodded and said softly: "And it's not safe." ”

"Then who are you going to, the coastal guard?" Chen Wangmo asked rhetorically: "Although the Jiangnan Group is not transporting rice, it is also ordered to transport grain. They also have to have the guts to rob the emperor. ”

"Even if you have the guts, you have to be able to sail the boat to Tamna and not get lost." Li Yangong quipped, and the two laughed.

"I'm talking about Li Chaoshui." But I heard Song Xiaoming say lightly: "In this country, although the land war is not worth mentioning, there is still a lot of training for sailors. ”

"Li Chaoshui Division?" Li Yangong lost his voice and said: "You want to collude with foreign countries? ”

"Don't make a fuss, is the Li Dynasty a foreigner?" Chen Wangmo glanced at him dissatisfied.

Li Yangong is a guy who doesn't know how to learn, and he still has the same surname as the king of Joseon. I didn't know that even the country name of 'North Korea' was given by the Ming Dynasty, and its full name was 'Ariake Korea', and it has always been regarded as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's right, that's Daming's dog." Li Yangong changed his words and said, "But we are not familiar with the area in Liaodong." Can the old man talk to Wang Zhidao? ”

Gu Huan shook his head and said: "The chief military officers of Liaodong are all promoted from the Guanwai Guard, and the old man has never been to Liaodong in his life. ”

"I know a deputy general soldier named Li Chengliang, but he is stationed in Liaoyang, and he is enough to talk to the real power figures of the Li Dynasty." Chen Wangmo scratched his head.

"It's too winding." Gu Huan didn't agree with these juniors' audacious nonsense from the bottom of his heart, so he said in a deep voice: "And with the urine nature of the king of the Li Dynasty, I'm afraid it is more likely that he will sell you." ”

"That's right." Chen Wangmo didn't dare to say anything.

"Don't be that troublesome." But I heard Song Xiaoming say confidently: "You can arrange it later." ”

"Oh?" The three of them were really taken aback, and asked in unison, "How do you know the top level of North Korea?" ”

"Actually, I don't know you anymore." Song Xiaoming smiled slightly: "But many of them are customers of Hengtongji." ”

"Oh, that's right." The three of them were stunned.

~~

Although Hengtongji is the money bank with the most semicolons in the Ming Dynasty, it is not able to do its business outside the customs, let alone open a semicolon in Seoul.

The accounts of the Joseon princes and ministers were all opened in Beijing, Tongzhou or Tianjin.

In the eyes of people of this generation, this is very reasonable.

Because first, Li Chao, as a model of the Ming Dynasty, licked the dog among the licking dogs, and the bones obtained were also the most delicious. Other families pay one tribute every two years and one tribute every three years, but the Li Dynasty pays three tributes a year.

It can be said that except for the heavy snow in winter that closed the road and could not pay tribute, in the other three seasons, the mighty envoys of the Li Dynasty were all on the road to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Coming so often, in addition to constantly brushing loyalty, naturally there are still great benefits...... Accompanying the mission was a large number of merchants of the Li Dynasty, who trafficked Korean ginseng, Korean paper, musk, schisandra and so on to the Ming Dynasty for sale, and then bought various commodities of the Ming Dynasty to sell back to China, making great profits from coming and going.

Because the Ming Dynasty forbade foreigners to enter the country without permission, and even more so from cross-border trade without permission, the tributary business has always been the cash cow of the Li Dynasty, and those merchants who can participate in it are also agents of the royal family and the powerful.

Moreover, the situation in the Li Dynasty has been turbulent in recent years, the Shilin faction in power has been fighting endlessly, and the power has been constantly changing among the various factions, followed by bloody purges and continuous cruel revenge against each other.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of facilitating the purchase of luxury goods in Daming, or from the consideration of ensuring the safety of their own property, the two classes of magnates of the Li Dynasty have opened accounts in Daming, and the money earned from tributary trade has been directly left in Daming. Even the people's fat and people's ointment looted from Li Chao's country were secretly transported to Tianjin Wei by sea and deposited in the money village of the Ming Dynasty.

As the largest money bank in the Ming Dynasty, Hengtongji is backed by the Caoyun Yamen, so it is naturally favored by the North Korean magnates. It's no surprise that Song Xiaoming has their list.

~~

Then, Song Xiaoming took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the three of them to circulate.

I saw that the person above was named Park Sung-sung, and he was the envoy of the Jeolla Right Naval Army of the Li Dynasty.

In the Li Dynasty, the envoy of the naval army was the official of the Zhengsanpintang, which was probably equivalent to the commander of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Li Chao followed his father, and he also used literature and martial arts, and the status of military generals was really not high.

In addition, after Yongle, Korea paid tribute by land. Since the Jiajing War, the imperial court closed the city and imposed a strict ban on the sea, and the maritime trade between China and North Korea was completely cut off. As a naval commander in Jeolla Province, which is farthest from the land border, it is impossible for Park Sung-seong to get a piece of the tributary trade.

However, this fang in the account of Hengtongji, there are actually 300,000 taels of silver!

Li Chao's annual income was not more than 200,000 stones, plus miscellaneous taxes, and the amount of silver was this amount.

A small three-rank military general can be rich and rival the country. Is this a defect in the system or a moral decline? Everyone present was not interested in inquiring, they only knew that this was the perfect candidate!

Tamna Island is in the defense zone of Jeolla Right Province, and Park Sung-sung is the commander of the navy, so it is very convenient to do it.

And the best thing is that even if he is exposed, this matter will not be traced clearly. It definitely won't involve them.

This is very important to this group of nobles who have disgraced their ancestors.

~~

After the three of them finished reading, Song Xiaoming burned the note. It is the obligation of every money bank to keep it confidential for customers, but unfortunately it is only usual, and when it comes to the critical time, it will definitely sell you all away.

"This kid's money must have come from the wrong place." Li Yangong said nonsense with a fluttering eyebrow: "We pinch his handle, and we are not afraid that he will not comply." ”

"Yes, if he doesn't agree, let's go to Seoul to stab this matter, and he will wait to be beheaded." Chen Wangmo also laughed and gave a thumbs up and said, "Song Da Shopkeeper, high, really high!" ”

Even the old marquis, who was opposed at first, stopped talking now.

Since there is no danger and you can hit the opponent, why not?

The matter was then agreed.

~~

Seeing that the emotions of the three were mobilized, Song Xiaoming brought out his own little abacus and said:

"I'm afraid that this is not enough, Jiangnan Group has a lot of money, especially with the almost unlimited silver support of Jiangnan Bank, what if you don't pay attention to the loss?"

"That's right." By this time, the three of them had been completely led by his nose. "I heard that Jiangnan Group wants to engage in a contract system, and all losses at sea are at your own risk. As long as they can do what they say, the court will not care how many ships they have sunk at sea and how many times they have been robbed. ”

"So we have to do both, and give him a salary from the bottom of the kettle!"

Song Xiaoming said, took a few dominoes from the desk next to him, and put one on the table first. "This is Jiangnan Bank."

Then he stacked the rest of the dominoes one by one and said: "This is Jiangnan Textile, Jiangnan Shipping, Jiangnan Education, ......"

"Jiangnan Bank is the support of all the companies of Jiangnan Group, as long as it is knocked out." As he spoke, he flicked his fingers and knocked down the bottom domino. The rest of the dominoes naturally scattered all over the table.

"The Jiangnan Group will no longer exist, and the threat will naturally disappear......"

In order to avoid being scolded by the teacher at the beginning of school, I had to take time to help him finish his homework, and only two shifts were guaranteed in the past two days, sorry, sorry. Write as much as you can tomorrow.
