Wei Bao said, stood up and greeted a group of heads of big families and shopkeepers of several big businesses, "Everyone drink with peace of mind and choose slowly." I'll save 100 taels of silver for the bustard, you can drink whatever you want today, okay? Have some fun, everybody. ”

A group of people hurriedly thanked them.

In fact, not everyone is in a hurry to have fun with the girl, there are a few older men, coming to this kind of place is just an eye addiction and mouth addiction, if you really shoot a real gun, you are no longer as brave as you used to be.

"Drink, don't you all like to drink? Drink hard, this place is better than Shanhailou, right? Whatever you want. While drinking, I paid attention to the beautiful women, and when I liked them, I said to them. Wei Bao greeted a group of boys with a smile. Because Wei Bao invited guests to such a 'high-end entertainment' place, these people were embarrassed to pour Wei Bao's wine again, and nodded yes together.

The more anxious he was to take advantage, the more Wei Bao dragged on, but to a group of big families, Wei Bao went over to talk very enthusiastically, asking them if they had any girls in their matches, and if they wanted to call them girls now.

A bunch of half-grown old men or old men, I'm embarrassed, I can't erase it.

Wei Bao smiled, secretly thinking, I have already said it, you don't want it now, you must not blame me for not spending money later, right?

The girls of Shanhaiguan Yihong Courtyard are indeed of high quality, the dancing sword can dance decently, the moonlit night is clear, the hundred-foot tall building, the red sword is like a withered and decaying layer of white yarn, dancing, a pure person with no makeup and white hair is gradually presented, clear, and perfectly interprets what it means to dance.

On this occasion, Wei Bao even felt that there was actually any "immortal"? Perhaps the immortals imagined by the world are just ghosts that have been resurrected, with form but no substance, eyes and no beads.

The girls are holding red face swords, three feet long and two fingers wide, made of a whole piece of red bottom water urchin wrapped with silk agate. The blade of the sword is thin and solid, the thin place is clear, the real place is smooth, and the delicate white silk lingers, such as feelings, such as thoughts; The beginning and end are naturally sealed with seven water droplets, which are secretly the number of seven feelings, and the brilliance flows, like stars, like tears; The swordsman borrowed a little skin color to carve a pair of red and white and tillian, the carving is soft and charming, and it is very lovely.

The ending is decorated with six-colored silk silk and ice glass, which is like a beauty's eye waves, but is it the six desires that are reflected in these beautiful eyes, or the six reincarnations?

Agate brittle and hard is not suitable for making long swords, and it is strong against its nature, and it can only be stabbed and lightly picked up, and it is difficult to be slashed wildly.

Although it has the advantage of blowing and breaking hair, it is not as strong as sharpening iron as clay.

Although the hue is gorgeous and catchy, it is just a desk plaything and a dancer prop after all, and it can't be a real dragon spring that can't be torn into battle, so it is only called "red face".

The red face whose life is as thin as paper, the red face that is hypocritical, and the red face that can't help himself.

Red face, whose eyes are red, whose soul is hooked, whose bones are removed, and whose Qingqing's life is cut.

Hongyan has a thin life since ancient times, don't complain about the east wind.

The gong sounded three times, the drum was stopped, the hibiscus noodles, the ice and snow muscles, and she was born in her old age. Leaning against the door. The plum blossom is half contained, and it seems to be open and closed. When I first saw the curtain, I was still shy; After the upstairs, the money is more joyful. It is also appropriate to walk, stand, sit, and snuggle.

A group of sons and brothers are looking for the girl who has fallen into sapience and wants to accompany them to fight a good battle tonight.

When Wu Sanfu hadn't figured out which girl was more lovely, Fang Anping, Wang Dongming and Wang Canhua had already fallen in love with the girl they wanted, so they asked Wu Sanfu to ask Wei Bao for money!

"What's the hurry? I'm not optimistic yet. Wu Sanfu muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Huh? Wei Gongzi is gone? Fang Anping's eyes were sharp, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Wei Gongzi is gone?"

Wang Dongming and Wang Canhua also stood up at once, and then, more than a dozen sons and brothers stood up one after another, the gold lord left, and when they were the second one and the second, the gold lord left? Is this bloodless?

"Wei Gongzi said that he drank too much, and he should go back to rest in a hurry, and he left us 1,000 taels of silver here, which is enough for you to drink flower wine." An elderly family leader said with a smile.

Oops!

Where do we just want to drink flower wine? We're going to have a courtesy with the girl!

A group of boys were so desperate that they almost didn't call out.

But Wei Gongzi is really gone, and there is no use in despairing.

Forty or fifty people, 1,000 taels of silver, if you want to perform the gift of Zhou Gong, at most only seven or eight people can perform Zhou Gong's ceremony, but if you just drink flower wine, it is enough.

There was no way, everyone had to drink the flower wine honestly, and a group of sons and brothers were cunning in the competition.

Wu Sanfu was angry and funny, and he didn't particularly complain about Wei Bao, knowing that Wei Bao was by no means a stingy person, Wei Bao also sent a woman to be his concubine, and he had always stored it in Weijiazhuang.

Wu Sanfu knew that Wei Bao didn't want to be taken advantage of by these useless sons, so he instead helped Wei Bao say some good things, saying that Wei Gongzi was really drunk, and next time he had the opportunity to ask Wei Gongzi for a treat.

Otherwise, which of you is so generous, taking nearly 10,000 taels of silver at a time?

Wei Bao invited so many tables of guests in Shanhailou and several larger restaurants around it today, and all of them picked the most expensive wine and dishes to entertain the guests, everyone guessed that there were probably nearly 10,000 taels of silver, right?

Actually, no, counting the 1,500 taels of silver spent in Yihong Courtyard, Wei Bao only spent less than 4,500 taels of silver today.

The total amount of silver for drinking is less than 3,000 taels.

When the price of food is not high, the price of wine and food at this time is also fluctuating, and it will not be high.

And a group of restaurants, they are also local bosses in Liaoning, I heard that Wei Bao invited guests, Wei Bao's status in Liaoxi today is close to the Wu family! Do they dare to make random offers?

Besides, Wei Bao invited all the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong around Shanhaiguan, as well as the officialdom of Shanhaiguan, and the generals near Shanhaiguan, which one is easy to mess with?

The most important thing is that although Wei Bao is sent to Shanghai, Wei Bao does not personally supervise the serving of food and is not responsible for checking out, it is the stewards of Wei Bao's heaven and earth firms who do these things.

Bai Peng's silver card is tighter than anyone else's, more than a dozen stewards and a large group of guys have come to watch the wine and food in each restaurant, every dish, every pot of wine is clearly remembered, where is there a chance to open black accounts with empty heads?

However, just like that, there are about 600 people in total, 3,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to an average of 5 taels of silver per person!

Usually, the top wine and food are only two or three taels of silver per table, and Wei Bao's treat is an average of 5 taels of silver per person!

Therefore, with such a high specification, everyone will think that Wei Bao spent at least nearly 10,000 taels of silver, but in fact there are not that much. The silver of this era is still very costly.

Wei Bao thought of the faces of a group of boys at this time, and returned to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce Pavilion happily, thinking that Sister Fang was coming soon, and immediately asked people to prepare everything for him to bathe. And asked Lin Wenbiao to call the managers of Shanhaiguan who could be contacted to gather, and he would have a meeting later to explain some things.

Lin Wenbiao promised to step back.

After Wei Bao bathed and changed clothes, everyone had already gathered, just waiting for the president. Even Sister Fang came over and waited for a while.

Just because Wei Bao's bathing speed is really amazingly slow, especially when Wang Qiuya doesn't help him take a bath, he takes a bath by himself, at least half an hour, an hour, and a few more minutes.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, although my head was still a little dizzy and half-drunk, I was not unable to hold on.

"Sister Fang, are you here?" Wei Bao was very happy to see that there was Sister Fang among more than ten people.

These more than ten people are the managers of the Tiandi Association of Shanhaiguan, except for Bai Pengfu and another manager who is responsible for the liaison between Shanhaiguan and Weijiazhuang, the others are all people from the Statistics Bureau, in fact, several are not managers, but they are at the level of managers, and the level of the Statistics Bureau is generally very high.

Shanhaiguan also has a manager of the procuratorate, but the people in the procuratorate are generally very secretive, more secretive than the people from the Tiandi Society, and they don't show up easily.

The Statistics Office sends agents to the outside world, and the Public Prosecutor's Office sends investigation agents to the interior from time to time.

"It's all been a while." Sister Fang smiled: "Can the president insist?" ”

"It's fine, not drunk, and said it quickly." Wei Bao immediately sat down: "The main thing! You've probably heard some of the important words at today's feast, right? I will collect 40 million taels of silver, known as 50 million taels of silver, and purchase grain from western Liaoning in an all-round way, so as to attract grain from Beizhili and Shandong, and even from Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, and Nanzhili. It is divided into six phases, and the first phase is 10 million taels of silver! There are four phases left, each of which is about 5 million taels of silver, and the last installment will spend all the silver, and strive to buy all the grain attracted to Liaoxi within two months! The people of the Wu family will fully cooperate with us in the name of the Jiliao Chamber of Commerce! In this process, set aside 2 million taels of silver profits for the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong who helped purchase grain, and don't give it all at once. This work is mainly carried out by Chief Steward Luo Jinshan and Deputy Chief Steward Fan Xiaolin, assisted by Steward Liu Chunshi and Steward Fan Datou, and you must actively cooperate. You conveyed to them the contents of today's meeting. Tomorrow, someone will transport 20 million taels of silver to Weijiazhuang and do a good job of receiving it. What you have to do is to monitor the entire acquisition process, and in addition, the people of the Statistics Bureau should release the news to the widest possible extent, agitating the Liaodong Frontier Army to win successive victories against Jiannu, and the number of enemies destroyed is more than 10,000 people, so as to create the false impression that the Ming army is expected to conquer Shenyang within the year and drive all Jiannu back to the deep mountains and old forests. ”

Everyone sat very upright, and no one took notes, because the affairs of the Statistics Office had to be written down by their brains, and they were not allowed to leave written records unless they had to.

"President, do you trust the Wu family so much?" Lin Wenbiao pointed out the key points.

Wei Bao smiled indifferently: "There must be a degree of trust, this grain purchase is our secret cooperation with the Wu family, and I have reached a cooperation intention with Wu Xiang in private!" But you can't be unguarded against them, after all, it's such a big grain purchase plan, and if you're not careful, you'll lose a mess. This time, after I finish the scientific expedition from the capital, I may return to Weijiazhuang, or I may not come back, but take a boat directly from Hejian Mansion to southern Liaoning! In the last few months of this year, preserving southern Liaoning is the top priority of all work. You should also point this out when you convey my meaning to Luo Sanzi, Fan Xiaolin, Liu Chunshi, and Fan Lao Pimple. ”

Everyone agreed. Know that both of these things matter! Although the president only mentioned the second thing in passing, the first thing was actually prepared for the second thing. Generally speaking, all the work being done now is to defend southern Liaoning!

In order to keep his work secret, Wei Bao did not say to a few people that he would drive Jiannu out of the southern part of the Great Liaoning, so as to prevent the news from leaking in advance.

Although the common people under the jurisdiction of the Heaven and Earth Society are almost separated from the outside world, it is difficult for the common people below to know the news of the high-level, so there is no need to worry. However, there are still many people who need to go out on field assignments, not to mention non-DSS personnel, who have not been established for a long time, and Wei Bao is not completely at ease.

Except for himself, Wei Bao is actually not very at ease with anyone, and he will not hand over all the details. Including his women.

This meeting is actually an order, not a consultation with the subordinates, the order needs to be done to the letter, must be done, there is no room for negotiation: "Do you have any questions?" ”

"President, it's not difficult to release the news, we now cover the entire Beizhili, as well as a small part of Monan, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, and Nanzhili. The key is hard to believe. In everyone's impression, the Ming army had a certain advantage in the city defense war, but in the case of losing the protection of the city, we never won the field battle with Jiannu. Lin Wenbiao said.

"Spread rumors on both sides!" Wei Bao stretched out two fingers and compared! "The first is to emphasize the internal instability of Jiannu, and Nurhachi has a heart attack! Moreover, the struggle for power and profit is serious, and more than a dozen sons who are expected to succeed Nurhachi are vying for succession! There are many factions in the various banners of Jiannu! There is a tendency to collapse without a fight. That's the point. Secondly, the elite of the Jinzhou Border Army and the Dongjiang Army, under the leadership of Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong, and with the support of the imperial court's continuous allocation of grain and appropriations, the soldiers are strong and strong, and nearly one million troops have been assembled to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu! Only to convince everyone that the form of Liaodong is now very good, and the imperial court is really ready for a big battle! It is the greatest good news to attract food to come, and it is not enough for us to sprinkle silver out. ”

Burst.

Everyone gasped when they heard this, President Wei is really able to blow, first of all, let's not talk about the internal affairs of Jiannu, here are all people at the level of managers of the Statistics Bureau, and they are very familiar with intelligence, and there is no information that Nurhachi is sick. I don't know how the president's statement that Nurhachi has a heart disease came from? In addition, even if there is a dispute between Jiannu and the heir, this is a fact, and in the case of Nurhachi, this is not the main reason for the collapse, right? There are many factions in various banners, and I don't know where the news came from, and the factions of the Ming Dynasty are known to the world. Secondly, the Dongjiang Army, the Jinzhou Border Army, and even the entire Liaodong soldiers and horses combined, whether there are 100,000 are dangerous, how dare you claim to be a million army? At the beginning of the battle of Salhu, the Ming Dynasty mobilized the strength of the whole country to gather more than 300,000 horses, right? At that time, I didn't dare to claim to be a million.

Lin Wenbiao nodded, "What the president said, we have all written it down, the key is the lack of examples!" If the Liaodong Border Army or the Dongjiang Army can really win once, not to mention a big victory, it is good to eat one or two hundred Jiannu in the wild, and there is also an example of boasting of a great victory, but unfortunately, there is not a single one. ”

"It's up to you. Rumors, nowhere to confirm! Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong did not do less to lie about their military exploits, and after you got the news, you should exaggerate it a hundred times and cooperate. Wei Bao said: "The spread of the news is to cooperate with our grain purchase, it doesn't have to last too long, one or two months is enough!" The key is to spread the scope and intensity of the spread! ”

"Yes, President." Everyone agreed.

Wei Bao saw that everyone couldn't seem to say anything more specific, "If you don't have anything to say, let's disperse!" When encountering specific difficulties, report them in a timely manner, and all departments cooperate closely to ventilate more! In fact, we have an advantage in doing these things, because in the eyes of outsiders, our Tiandi Association is just a little-known private business, and no one will suspect us, and the people of the Statistics Department are just fanning the flames. This is easier to believe than the Ming court, or the Liaodong border army and the Dongjiang army boasting themselves. ”

So everyone dispersed, and Wei Bao took Sister Fang to do the warm-up exercise the night before leaving for Beijing to catch the exam!

President Wei urgently needs a warm-up exercise to completely dissipate the strength of the wine, so that he can seize the time to get a good night's sleep.

"If you're tired, just go to sleep, right?" Sister Fang saw that Wei Bao was a little drunk, and said gently: "If you really miss me, I can find an opportunity to tell my father, go to Jingshi to have a play, and then go to accompany you." ”

"No, you're not just the shopkeeper of your Shanhai Building, don't forget that you still have the title of the Heaven and Earth Society Statistics Bureau, how can you, the head of Shanhaiguan, run away casually?" Wei Bao smiled: "If you run away, who will the people below you go to if they have something?" ”

"I'm quite worried, whether it's you cooperating with the Wu family to buy grain this time, or trying to get the people of Liaodong to go to southern Liaoning, these two things are too big, I think it's too urgent? President, have you thought about retreating? Sister Fang gritted her teeth, expressed her worries, and said what was in her heart: "If you hold Liaonan, it will be good to achieve such a big thing." If it doesn't work, there's nothing left. ”

Wei Bao smiled indifferently, it was not the first time someone had said this to him, but Sister Fang was able to say this to herself, which showed that she was wholeheartedly devoted to herself and was not afraid of making herself unhappy, Wei Bao was moved in her heart.
