Finally got it!

The silver ticket of 380,000 taels was exchanged for the debt of the Pingxi Domain and the Shuofang Domain, which had a face value of 510,000 taels!

In order to buy these debts, he not only waited for a full hour and a half in the elegant room of the maritime bank, but also took the familiar path of the manager of the maritime bank, and gave a bribe of 1,000 taels before he successfully cut the queue and grabbed in front of several other large households......

At present, the bond trading of the two banks implements the "market maker system", that is, the buyer and the seller do not trade directly, but the bond bureaus of the two banks provide quotations to the buyers and sellers (two-way quotation), and accept the purchase and sale requirements at this price, and trade with the buyers and sellers with their own funds and bonds.

However, due to the huge amount that Yao Daqiao wanted to buy, it reached almost 10% of the total amount of bonds issued by the two feudal clans. So the bank couldn't get the deal right away – the bank didn't have that many bonds in stock!

Therefore, Yao Daqiao could only wait patiently, and it was not until the market was about to close that night that he got a "no spot" buying opportunity.

The so-called "not taking the spot" means that you cannot get the physical bond, and you can only get a "negotiable certificate of deposit with a term of three months" issued by the Haishang Bank - in fact, this is a futures transaction. Haishang Bank was a middleman, and found the profiteers in Huizhou and Quanzhou, who had originally sold short, and they took over the huge payment of Yao Daqiao.

Of course, these Huizhou and Quanzhou profiteers have no goods in their hands. Therefore, I had to sign a contract with the bank for delivery in three months or at the current market price, and pay a deposit.

And the price at which they sold the feudal bonds (face value of 100) was 74 taels (the purchase price of Yao Daqiao was 74.5 taels, and half a tael of silver was the difference between the price eaten by the Haishang Bank), and if the first tranche of feudal bonds could really be paid in a short period of time, such as paying the first year's interest, it would be terrible!

The interest of this bond starts on June 1 of the first year of Hongxing, and if the principal is paid in full when the first year's interest is paid, then by the end of the year, the bond will only have five months to renew.

So by that time, the value of the bond will never fall below 95 taels, and the profiteers who sell short will lose money......

As for Yao Daqiao, he didn't even need to wait for three months to make a profit by selling the "Negotiable Debt Certificate of Deposit"!

In fact, the opportunity for him to make a fortune soon appeared!

On the tenth day of September in the first year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty, a particularly good news spread from Sichuan to Wuhan.

Li Zicheng is dead!

......

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a secret report from Sichuan, and Li Zicheng, the leader of the bandits, has died of illness in the puppet palace in Chongqing on the first day of September......"

In the East Lake Palace, in the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Cihong, who was presiding over the court meeting of the important ministers of the two governments, suddenly heard a news that surprised him.

"Zhu Chunjie, what are you talking about? Wasn't Li Zicheng dead a long time ago? ”

Yes, people have been pretending to be alive for almost three years, how can they die?

"Your Majesty," Zhu Chunjie explained, "this time he is officially dead...... The puppet prince Li Guo of Liukou issued an edict to the world, announcing that Li Zhi had died of illness, and also obeyed him as the puppet Shun Gaozu. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "Oh, that's two deaths...... This Li Zicheng ascended the throne twice, and he died twice, it's really hard! ”

It's really hard...... is dead, and he has been pretending to be alive for more than two and a half years. has been known as the emperor since ancient times, and he is probably the only one who is so diligent!

Zhu Cihong sighed in his heart, and asked again: "Since Li Zicheng is officially dead, who did his pseudo-obedient emperor do?" ”

"It's Li Zicheng's crown prince Li Guo," Zhu Chunjie said, "The secret report said that the pseudo-obedience will change the Yuan co-rule from next year."

In addition, Li Guo also sealed eight council kings in one go. In the future, the pseudo-shun is the eight kings to discuss the government, and the monarch and the minister will govern together. ”

Zhu Cihong said: It's quite progressive...... The peasant uprising is different!

"Who are the eight kings?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

"The secret report said that there are Sun Kewang, King of Qin, Liu Zongmin, King of Han, Li Dingguo, King of Jin, Tian Jianxiu, King of Sui, Liu Wenxiu, King of Tang, Yuan Zongdi, King of Song, Ai Nengqi, King of Chu, and Liu Fangliang, King of Wei."

It's quite exquisite, the kings of the top six Yizheng kings all come from the unified Han dynasty after the first emperor unified the world, and they are sorted in chronological order.

The king of Chu, Ai Nengqi, should be derived from Emperor Yi of Chu, and the king of Wei, Liu Fangliang, should be derived from the usurper of Wei.

Zhu Cihong turned his gaze to Ma Shiying, the governor of Yunnan-Guichuan, who had entered the court to report on his work, and asked, "Governor Ma, what do you think?" ”

Ma Shiying looked dejected, he was now the commander of the defeated army. The situation in Daming is very good, but he can't do it, first lose Chongqing, and then lose Chengdu. Now the entire Sichuan Province has been almost lost, leaving only the mountainous prefecture capital in the southwest of Sichuan and the Zunyi Mansion in the south of Sichuan.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong reformed the official system earlier, canceled the right to discuss politics in the imperial history, and also removed the six departments to the middle of the matter, otherwise Ma Shiying would have scolded a group of imperial historians to death.

However, there are still a lot of nosy Ming civil officials, and these days the impeachment of Ma Shiying flew to Zhu Cihong's desk like snowflakes, and all kinds of splendid articles that people could write after reading Ma Shiying's hatred to death I don't know how much.

If Emperor Chongzhen is still in power, Ma Shiying will have to be chopped off.

But Zhu Cihong didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't even look at these bullets.

The question of Sichuan's defeat was reviewed by the Generalissimo's Office - Li Yan became the minister of the Qin Mission and personally went to Sichuan and Guizhou to investigate. There is no need for a group of civilian officials who do not know the situation on the front line in Sichuan to shout nonsense.

Now Li Yan hasn't returned yet, but Zhu Cihong already knows why Sichuan is fighting like this - it's not a war at all!

Dashun military plan dictates the field, but it is true, I don't know how many poor Sichuan peasants have won the land for nothing!

After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the combat effectiveness of the rest of the Great Western Army was liberated, and these people beat Wu Sangui down in the monk Yuan, if it wasn't for the rush to Sichuan, Wu Sangui didn't have to worry about the problem of feudal debts now......

With the Great Western Army with explosive combat effectiveness and the Dashun Army that won the hearts of the people in Sichuan, how could Ma Shiying win the battle by relying on a group of landlords' regimental training and Tusi armies?

Therefore, Zhu Cihong just cut Ma Shiying's title, which means that he didn't even cut the official position of the governor of Yunguichuan.

He also hoped that Ma Shiying would be able to rectify the regimental training of various warlords and landlords who had run out of Sichuan, and also integrate a Guizhou town or something, so as to fill the bottomless pits of Sichuanbian, Guizhou, and Zunyi.

"Your Majesty," Ma Shiying sighed, "Li Zicheng has died a long time ago, and the reason why Li Guo has not announced it for a long time is not to hide it from us...... This matter is concealed for three or two months at most, how can it be concealed for more than two years? Li Guo did not announce Li Zicheng's death because of his internal instability, and after he announced it, it was difficult to become a puppet emperor.

And he has now publicly announced the death of Li Zicheng, which shows that he has straightened out his interior and can be a puppet emperor. ”

Ma Shiying's analysis should be correct!

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, there will be gains and losses! He was busy "begging" and the Northern Expedition, leaving the mess in Sichuan aside, thinking that he would wait for a group of Sichuan tyrants and gentry to know that they were wrong, and then send troops when they came back to beg him.

didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong's four sons to eat Huitou grass and go to engage in "eight fathers co-governance" with Dashun. Dashun and Daxi are united, and the strength of the army has at least doubled, and it is estimated that there are more than 20 thousand people who can fight! Moreover, it has won the support of the vast number of working people in Sichuan through the division of land by counting and dividing fields.

This means that the Dashun court can quickly replenish the war losses by promoting working people into the military government...... It won't be easy to destroy them!

However, the banner of recovering Sichuan still has to be fought!

If you don't hold high the banner of collecting the river, you can't tell the story of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and there is no withdrawal of the feudal domain...... So who will the new issue of feudal debts be issued?

Emperor Zhu has already received reports from Huang Jiang and Su Sheng - the market is buying enthusiastically!

If new bonds with the same maturity and interest rate as the first tranche of feudal bonds were issued at a discounted price, they estimated that the six-cent annual interest rate could be sold for 80 taels, and at least four or five million could be raised......
