"There are rumors in the market that Yawen can be half a family in Haizhou, and the rumors are true, but..." Yang Bo shook his head and said with a smile: "This women's school is destined to have no chance with you, because you don't dare." ”

Her methods Yang Bo has seen, just a women's school, with her knowledge and ability, naturally it is not a problem, it is not a question of ability, it is a question of whether she has the courage to be the first in the world.

Want to use the agitation method? Praise me first, and then question me if I don't dare?

Feng Yawen consciously saw through Yang Bo's trick, and couldn't help but upturn the corners of her mouth, snorted lightly, and was about to question, but Feng Wanli stopped talking.

"Yawen.." Feng Wanli's tone was quite stern.

Feng Wanli turned to Yang Bo, and said with a smile on his face: "Virtuous nephew, Yawen's family is in Haizhou, even if she wants to be the head of this mountain, she has no skills, running a school is a good thing, the old man is willing to help, it is better to do this, I heard that the prince of Wei Guo once gave 10,000 taels of silver to the women's school, this is a great goodness, and the old man also wants to join in the fun." ”

Yang Bo was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but stop, and said, "Uncle also wants to donate money to the girls' school?" Wen Jue's donation of silver is to be named, and this women's school will be called Pei Yao Girls School in the future. ”

"No, no." Feng Wanli said with a smile: "Could it be that there is only one women's school in Shenjiabao, and the old man is named after another school." ”

"Uncle, the Women's School accepts donations to promote the Women's School, and the Stone Temple is not short of money to open the school, so Uncle doesn't have to..."

"Hahaha." Feng Wanli laughed, cut off the conversation, and arched his hand and said: "The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the old man also wants to make a name, please make a good nephew." ”

Feng Wanli's words were all said for this sake, and Yang Bo naturally didn't want to refuse again.

In fact, Feng Wanli has always been low-key, never publicized, and has never had anything to do with him.

Today, he saw Yang Bo blow up the stone wall with explosives, and before he came to Shenjiabao, he heard about Yang Bo's deeds, which was verified before and after, but it frightened Feng Wanli, he knew that Yang Bo's strength was even more unfathomable than the rumors, and he really wanted to befriend Yang Bo.

However, Yang Bo opened a girls' school, but Feng Wanli did not approve of it in his heart.

He had heard of this for a long time, and although he did not approve of it, people were willing to open it, and he would have to go, what did it matter to him?

But if it involves her own daughter, it's different, Yawen is Mrs. Zhizhou, although Zuo Wencan has been temporarily suspended, she is also the former Mrs. Zhizhou, and she is also a glorious ancestor when she says it, a woman, what does Laoshizi do to be the chief of the mountain?

In this generation, the saying that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented' is popular, it is not without a social foundation, what school do women go to? I can't participate in the imperial examination, ask for fame, and what about literacy and hyphenation?

My own daughter is literate and knowledgeable, because of this, but she can't stand the slightest bit of grievances, and she was scolded by Zuo Wencan at home, so she made a little child, and ran to Shenjiabao alone, what kind of system did she become? Do you want a home?

Yang Bo is a smart person, sooner or later he will know his details, donate money to study, but make some silver, one, he doesn't want Yawen to be the chief of the mountain, it can be regarded as making up for the guilt of Yang Bo in his heart, and second, this is a personal favor, in the business field, people owe favors, it is not simple, quietly sow seeds today, and it will be harvested in the future.

Feng Wanli saw that Yang Bo was no longer speechless, so he said: "The old man gave 20,000 yuan in silver, what does the virtuous nephew think?" ”

"Twenty thousand taels?"

Feng Yawen exclaimed, 20,000 taels is too much, donate to help school, just mean it, how can you make a move for 20,000 taels?

Feng Wanli turned his head and glanced at her, his face was quite cold, Feng Yawen was still very afraid of her father, so she swallowed what she wanted to say.

Yang Bo pondered for a while, and finally said: "Since my uncle has the heart to help students, and the younger generations are also disrespectful, the Shimiao School will be renamed Wanli School in the future, but it is the responsibility of the Shimiao to open the school, and the people who teach it are not aiming to get merit..."

Yang Bo thought for a while, raised his eyes and looked at Feng Wanli, his eyes burning, "I heard that my uncle also has business dealings with the Liaodong barbarians?" ”

Feng Yawen glared at Yang Bo, she didn't expect that this Yang Bo was quite scheming, she must have inquired about her father's details with someone.

Feng Wanli was also in his heart, don't look at Yang Bo's face is still immature, but he has a prestige that does not match his age, just a simple question, it actually made him feel pressure.

After all, Feng Wanli has been on the battlefield for a long time, old and sophisticated, and sighed quietly: "Shanxi is located on the border, the land is dry and rainless, and there are many people. ”

"Huh.." Yang Bo chuckled, "In this way, the junior has a proposal, the current output of the stone temple is a lot, such as white fire and matches, and the land of Liaodong will be operated by my uncle..."

Feng Wanli had this intention for a long time, but he felt that the time was not yet ripe, so he didn't speak, this didn't just sow the seeds, and it immediately paid off, and everyone took the initiative to say that it would be too hypocritical to cover it up again.

Feng Wanli laughed and said: "It's so good, the old man's thoughts, he really can't hide it from the virtuous nephew, those who know me, the virtuous nephew, hahaha..."

"However, the younger generation also has a small request." Yang Bo looked straight at Feng Wanli, not for a moment, and said slowly: "I need to send some people to follow the Feng family's caravan to Liaodong, I don't know if my uncle will allow it?" ”

"Isn't the virtuous nephew also going to get involved in the business of Liaodong?" Feng Wanli was shocked in his heart and asked in a lost voice.

Just gave sweet dates, suddenly another stick, everyone knows that the exclusive business is easy to do, and now the owner is going to go to the sea in person, and he is a lone fart, this son is really difficult.

Yang Bo shook his head and smiled faintly, "Since Liaodong is handed over to my uncle to manage, the younger generation will naturally not interfere again, and my uncle can rest assured." ”

When Feng Yawen heard this, her nervous heart was put down, and Yang Bo's attitude made her very satisfied.

However, Feng Wanli had a puzzled look on his face, and said tentatively: "In this way, there is naturally no problem, but the virtuous nephew sent someone to Liaodong, but why?" ”

Yang Bo waved his hand and said, "The younger generation has its own opinions, and it will definitely not ruin my uncle's business." ”

Feng Wanli saw that Yang Bo was not interested, so he had to divert the topic, and several people chatted without a word, walking all the way through the snow, and at noon, he finally rushed back to the stone temple, and Feng Wanli was about to leave.

"Uncle." Yang Bo arched his hand and shouted, but he looked at Feng Yawen and said with a smile: "Yawen, it's better to stay and eat hot pot in the stone temple." ”

Yang Bo's hot pot, but after talking for a long time, this is a small agreement between her and Yang Bo, but it is not easy to fulfill it.

Before Feng Yawen could speak, Feng Wanli saw that there might be something greasy in this, so he hurriedly snorted and said: "The old man knows that the virtuous nephew is very busy, and he has been bothered sometimes, next time, the old man will be the east, and the virtuous nephew must appreciate the light." ”

Feng Wanli insisted on resigning, Yang Bo had no choice but to give it away, seeing the father and daughter walking away in the carriage, Yang Bo was secretly thinking in his heart.

Feng Wanli is a native of Shanxi and a Jin businessman.

According to the historical records of later generations, the Jin merchants are very famous, the Jin merchants are an interest group, by reselling the strategic materials of the Ming Dynasty to the barbarians in Liaodong, making a lot of money, many people have become rich and rival the country's rich people, at the same time, the Ming Dynasty is constantly declining, running wild at the end of the road, and finally being crushed into scum by the wheel of history.

The rise of the Jin Shang Dynasty was the process of the Ming Dynasty's declining and eventual demise, at least in the timeline, it was established.

In this historical process, what role the Jin merchants played, even in later generations, is debated.

Some people say that the Jin merchants did business with the barbarians, in most cases, under the permission of the imperial court, and it was a legitimate business, and capital had no borders, and doing business with the barbarians in wartime was the instinct of the merchants to pursue interests, and it was not appropriate to talk about any family and country feelings.

Some people even say that the Jin merchants betrayed the country and were the maggots of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who were later named imperial merchants by the Manchu Dynasty, such as Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yongfa and others, all traitors and traitors.

There are different opinions, and there is no consensus.

In Yang Bo's view, the country was indeed in trouble at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jin merchants did make a fortune during this time period, and they made a fortune in the country, which is certain.

At first, the barbarians had not yet entered the customs, the Jin merchants did business with the barbarians, mainly taking silk, tea, salt and iron, in exchange for animal skins, ginseng and cattle and sheep, etc., the policy of the imperial court was also repeated, sometimes banned, but could not stand the collusion between officials and businessmen, although there was a ban, but it was a fictitious form, it was really unbearable, and the court set up a mutual market below, during this period, even if it was a legal business.

But since the barbarians entered the customs for the first time, they burned and looted in the interior, killing countless people, not to mention, and plundering countless gold and silver goods, the barbarians took the goods they had just looted from the interior and handed them over to the Jin merchants in exchange for urgently needed materials, the nature has changed, and it is no longer a question of legality or illegality, it is simply bloodletting for the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that there is no Internet at this time, and Yang Bo can't ask Du Niang to help check it on the Internet, otherwise by tapping the keyboard, he can get how many people the barbarians have killed and how many things they have robbed after entering the customs several times, and the list is as follows:

For the first time, in 1629, Huang Taiji led his army, detoured through the Mongolian region, broke through Da'ankou, and besieged the city of Beijing. It was precisely because of this battle that Yuan Chonghuan was killed!

The second time, in 1634, the Huang Taiji soldiers were divided into four routes, with Datong and Xuanhua as the main direction of attack, and broke through the pass respectively, "not attacking the city, only plundering in the villages and forts"!

The third time, in 1636, Azig and others led the army into the customs! In this battle, the Qing army conquered a total of 12 cities, won 56 battles, and won 179,800 people and animals, as for countless slaughterers!

The fourth time, in 1638, Dolgon led the army into the customs, slaughtered and burned Jinan, and obtained 462,300 people and animals, and Sun Chengzong was killed more than 100 members of his family this time!

The fifth time, in 1642, Abatai led his army into the customs and captured a population of 369,000 people, including more than 321,000 camels, horses, mules, cattle, donkeys, and sheep!

Of course, there is the last time, that is, when Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, Chongzhen was dead at that time, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs under the banner of avenging Chongzhen, yes, you read that right, they did come in under the banner of avenging Chongzhen, and they never left when they came.

Ridiculous no? It's ridiculous, but it's the truth of history.

The population captured here refers to those who can work for them, as for the women and children, the old and weak, it is estimated that they have been killed, it is estimated that every time they enter the customs, no less than millions of people are killed, and several times down, the number of people reduced in the north of the Ming Dynasty is tens of millions, which is too miserable.

At that time, what were Jin merchants doing? The barbarians handed over the stolen gold and silver goods to the Jin merchants in exchange for salt, iron, ordnance and grain, which was equivalent to pumping the blood of the Ming Dynasty to maintain the blood of the barbarians.

The last time the Manchu Qing entered the customs was the final blow to the Ming Dynasty, who was like a bloodied beast, only to fall to the ground with a bang.

Yang Bo calculated the time, and the barbarian's first entry would occur at this time next year.

At that time, the Emperor Taiji raised hundreds of thousands of troops into Longjing Pass, Daankou and other places, and finally conquered Zunhua and Santun camp, almost hit Beijing City, killed countless people along the way, looted countless people, after retreating, handed over the looted goods to the Jin merchants, and the Jin merchants provided them with scarce materials, since then the Jin merchants have been out of control, as an interest group, embarked on the road to rise, the representative figure is a surname Fan, called Fan Yongdou, Yang Bo remembers clearly.

"There's a whole year to go." Yang Bo watched the carriage of Feng Wanli's father and daughter disappear from sight, and said secretly in his heart: "You must find a way to stop them." ”
