Chapter 586: Our Chance Has Come
Well, Jabbs is really losing money...... When Jinyi Wei calmed down, he could also be a loss, and he was also the first in the Ming Dynasty!
But you have to do this business at a loss!
How else would a thousand Zephra horses be done? Not to mention how much money it can sell for in Beijing, the tax card along the way is enough for Jabbs to drink a pot.
Transporting it to Xi'an is a gamble......
As for transporting it to the southeast, it can be sold at a good price, but the Qing soldiers are very tight in the south, and if they don't do it, they will be empty! Of course, Jabbs had a way to get himself out - his status as one of the Nine Great Emperors was something to be said of by Duoduo. But the question is, can you ask Duoduo to come forward and fish for people, and there are no two or three hundred thousand taels?
Therefore, Jabus could only leave these 1,000 Zephani horses in Luliang Mountain, so he begged Chen Fatzi for a long time, and finally added another 1,000 taels, a total of 5,000 taels of silver, and 35,000 taels of borrowed tickets.
Now the silver can be obtained in the town of Mokou, which is now a commercial center, many outrooted Jin merchants, Shaanxi merchants have gathered here, large and small businesses have opened a lot, including those who operate the silver and money industry. The number of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands can be done without leaving the town of Mokou.
However, you have to go to Yongning Prefecture City to get the borrowed ticket, because the palace of His Royal Highness the "Loan King" is in Yongning Prefecture City. This state city is more than 70 miles away from the town of Mokou, and there are mountains all the way, which is very dangerous. This area is the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and there are many fairly rich valleys, which is a good place to gather mountains and forests and fall grass.
When the acting king Zhu Cijiong first went to Luliang Mountain, he did not choose this place, but "occupied the mountain as the king" in the territory of Lanzhou. At that time, the situation on Luliang Mountain was not very good, and only a group of White Lotus Sectists led by Zhang Xixian were willing to support.
Therefore, Zhu Cijiong could only retreat in the north of Luliang Mountain, relying on the palace guards brought by the White Lotus Sect and Luo Xiushen, and lived a precarious life. However, when Hauge was killed, and Dolgon completely kicked out the doctor to dictate the field, the prince's life was better.
When they woke up and found that Dolgon was going to become "more self-contained", the Shanxi gentry finally found out in their conscience, and they went into the ravines and ravines of Luliang Mountain to follow the king to resist the Qing Dynasty - it is not okay if you don't go up the mountain! As soon as the "multi-self-contained" was announced, the poor and middle peasants below made a fuss!
They don't care what Li Zicheng is, how much they are self-made, as long as they take them to divide the fields, they are "good self-made"!
And at the same time as "dividing the land", the trend of eating large households and abolishing the debts of the king of Hades has also risen!
Since the Han military banner and the green flag officials sent down by the "Duo Zicheng" are all about to divide the land, can they still be expected to call the shots for usury? And this is not a matter that can be settled by sending money - the purpose of "multi-self-sufficient" to calculate and equalize land is to collect taxes, where can the landlords use usury to squeeze out the peasants?
The peasants were squeezed dry, and who was going to go to the tax of one mu and four liters of flour in the Qing Dynasty? If you can't collect taxes, you will cut people if you are "more self-contained"!
In addition, once the officials sent down by the "more self-cheng" do not sit on the side of the gentry, the gentry will become fat sheep. How can it be more comfortable to eat peasants than to eat gentry? Instead of suppressing the peasants with the gentry's small money, it is better to let the peasants stir things up, and then swallow the gentry's little floating wealth and the little daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Therefore, all kinds of crimes were woven up and pressed on the heads of the gentry and profiteers in Shanxi, and for a time there were many bankrupts!
The gentry and profiteers in Shanxi can always live a little free life in Luliang Mountain, stay in their hometown, and wait for the end!
Since the autumn of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, the market of Luliang Mountain has come up all of a sudden, and the landlords and old fortunes have come!
Seeing such a situation, Zhu Cijiong, Li Jiantai, Wang Yongji, Luo Xiushen, and Zhang Xixian's thoughts also came alive.
They first launched the business of selling official beards - in order to create a little more official positions to sell, the acting king Zhu Cijiong also set up the prime minister's mansion and the general's mansion by himself, and also led the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and also opened the high-grade government offices such as the Shanxi Governor's Yamen and the Trilateral Governor's Yamen. Then he sold the magistrates of Shanxi Province all over the place.
But official positions are always limited, and they can't be sold at a very good price - Zhu Cijiong is not an emperor after all, and the officials he sells are always a bit empty.
And he has a big heart, and he always feels that he should do a big job, at least take back all the Datong Mansion where the Acting Wangfu is located, right? To do this, it is indispensable to recruit troops and horses to build equipment, and the silver is splashed out like water!
So seeing that the official was not selling, Zhu Cijiong began to borrow usury......
Alas, usury harms the king!
Zhu Cijiong is only sixteen years old this year, and he is still an adult in the next generation, and he already owes three or four million usury!
You must know that Emperor Chongzhen's annual income is only one million taels of silver, and he can only repay the principal for his son without eating or drinking for three or four years, and I don't know what to do if there is interest? Thirty-six percent of usury a year! really wanted to force Chongzhen and Queen Zhou to sell the house to pay off their son's debts...... It's just that the palace of the Emperor Taishang is sold to whom?
What's even more terrifying is that Zhu Cijiong borrowed three or four million usury loans, not to squander them, but to recruit troops, build weapons, build castles, and save military rations...... This is going to start a war!
By the time the big creditor of Jia Busijia was brought to Yongning Prefecture by Chen Fatzi, the elite soldiers under Zhu Cijiong's command had exceeded 30,000. The Yongning Prefecture City, where the palace is located, has been built into a Jintang City, which is not a separate isolated city, but a three-dimensional defense system with the main city of Yongning Prefecture as the core and surrounded by eight villages.
"Lord Wang, Mr. Chen brought a Malaysian dealer and asked you to sign an IOU of 35,000 taels......"
When Wang Fu Ji was good at Jackie Chan walked into the main hall quickly and reported to Zhu Cijiong that the new creditor came to the door, the king of Daming and the general of the palace, Luo Xiushen, were frowning together and listening to Wang Fuchen, a brave general who came out of the city of Datong Mansion, to report the situation of Datong Mansion - the situation is very bad, and the grain of Datong Mansion is about to run out!
The chief soldier Jiang Hao is desperate and is ready to eat human flesh!
Now it is pointed out that the 30,000 elite soldiers pulled up by the "loan king" with usury can relieve the siege of Datong......
"Thirty-five thousand taels?" Zhu Cijiong, who was almost carved out of the same mold as Zhu Cihong, raised his head and looked at Yu Chenglong and Yu Jishan, who looked suave and about thirty years old, "Why are there so many?" ”
This Yu Chengchan is a native of Yongning Prefecture, showing his talent and fame, Chongzhen participated in the imperial examination once in the twelfth year, but he was not admitted - it is said that he was not admitted because the examiner took bribes and cheated, but in history he later went to cram school for more than ten years, and went to the examination again in the eighth year of Shunzhi or failed, until he was forty-four years old before he mixed into the Guozijian to study...... In the end, Guozijian didn't graduate, so he dredged a poor and remote county magistrate to be a magistrate, which doesn't look like a scholar!
However, in this time and space, he was lucky and didn't have to go to the imperial examination, because there was no imperial examination for him here in Shanxi. To be an official of the Qing Dynasty, he first had to cast the flag...... Be a flag slave first, let your wife and daughter serve the master of the Nine Banners, and then have the opportunity to climb up step by step.
And it is much simpler to be the official of the "loan king" of the Ming Dynasty, just spend money to buy one!
So Yu Shihuang, Yu's father, who wanted his son Jackie Chan, simply sold some of the family's real estate and land, and scraped together some money to let Yu Jackie Chan buy an official. At the beginning, he bought Wutai County Order, but Wutai County did not take it back, so at the beginning of Chongzhen's twentieth year, Yu's father spent money to help his son buy a royal palace Jishan, that is, Zhu Cijiong's follower.
"Lord Wang," Yu Chenglong said with a happy face, "Mr. Chen has bought a thousand Zephan horses!" ”
"A thousand?" Luo Xiushen on the side was also happy, "Now our cavalry is not short of horses!" ”
Zhu Cijiong nodded: "With cavalry, it will be more certain to solve the siege of Datong!" ”
"Lord Wang, do you really want to send troops?" Luo Xiushen was a little scared again, looked at the little prince, and waited for him to make a decision.
"Take a gamble!" Zhu Cijiong said, "Let's encircle Wei to save Zhao, go down to Lu Liang, and attack Taiyuan Fucheng!" ”
As soon as his words fell, the voice of Wang Yongji, the governor of the three sides, came from outside the palace hall: "Lord, great joy, great joy...... The Tartar regent promised to enlarge the army and civilians to survive! On the fifth day of the sixth month, let them go south to Luliang Mountain! ”
Zhu Cijiong slapped the table: "Okay!" Here's our chance! ”
