At the same time that Zhu Shun led the industrial faction to start the construction of the second batch of coal washing plants, the Marquis of Zhenyuan issued an order to all shops selling Chinese coal, and all shops raised the price of coal from one yuan to four yuan of silver.

There is only one purpose, to consume the cash in the hands of the three major Jin merchants as soon as possible, and also release a false news of insufficient coal reserves to confuse the Donglin Party and Jin merchants headed by Li Lusheng.

Li Lusheng learned the news, and entertained the three major Jin merchants in the house that night, which can be regarded as a celebration wine that the Donglin Party will definitely win.

The Donglin Party only recognizes its own truth, and the Jin merchants only recognize silver.

Li Lusheng knew very well how much money he could make Jin Shang this time, and what kind of incense this silver would bring him.

Jin Shang's incense is still secondary, what Li Lusheng really values is that he has won the trust of Jin Shang this time, so that Jin Shang knows that as long as he follows him Li Lusheng, even if he meets Zhu Shun, the disaster star, they can also make money.

With this trust, it will be much simpler to raise money from the Jin merchants next time, that is to say, the huge amount of silver in the hands of the five Jin merchants has become a strength that he can mobilize at will.

On the red sandalwood wine table, Li Lusheng was already a little drunk after only drinking three glasses of wine, not because of the strength of the wine, but because he thought that all the silver in the hands of the five Jin merchants could be used by him.

Enough to get him drunk for three days.

With such a huge amount of silver behind him, Li Lusheng began to plan for himself how to become a cabinet assistant step by step.

Li Lusheng is not a utopian dream like Jin Zhijun, but relies on his scheming city government to plan a really feasible overall situation.

"Come on." Fan Yongdou thought that he had eaten the most coal this time, and when the 300,000 taels of silver in his hand were used up, Li Lusheng arranged for Jin Liangyu and Liang Jiabin, two great Jin merchants, to continue to eat coal, stood up with a red face, and took the initiative to give Li Lusheng a glass.

Fan Yongdou took the celadon wine glass of the official kiln, hit it heavily on Li Lusheng's wine glass, and said with a smile on his red face: "I salute Li Ge Lao with a glass outside the staff, I hope there will be such a good thing in the future, Li Ge Lao should not forget his own staff." ”

Pavilion elder is the unique honorific title of the cabinet chief, Li Lusheng has long been no longer an official in the imperial court, even when he was an official in the imperial court, he did not achieve the position of the cabinet elder, and he should not be a word Li Gelao.

Fan Yongdou seemed to be using the intention of alcohol to say a drunken word, but everyone present who was drunk or not knew it.

Not only is he not drunk, but he is more sober than ever.

Fan Yongdou said these words for only one purpose, as long as Li Lusheng could make Fan Yongdou make money like this, he was willing to support him to the position of the elder of the pavilion.

Li Lusheng reacted in a timely manner, stroked his beard and smiled: "Mr. Zhongrong has raised his love, and he will count on the help of several people in the future." ”

Fan Yongdou's expression is not Zhong Rong, Zhong Rong can't match it at all, Zhong Rong is the expression of a celebrity in the early Ming Dynasty.

Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan.

People who do business will not know Shen Wansan, Li Lusheng is using a Shen Wansan to respond to Fan Yongdou's elder, as long as Fan Yongdou supports him to become a elder.

Li Lusheng dared to let Fan Yongdou become Shen Wansan in the north, as for how to accumulate such a huge family business of gold and silver, there is only one way.

opened the door for Fan Yongdou to go to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's horse gang, and even allowed the Fan family to open a field.

These are all tacit things, and the few people present understand them, so there is no need to say more.

As for whether Li Lusheng has this ability, Fan Yongdou and the other two Great Jin businessmen believe that there is definitely one.

Fan Yongdou ate a large part of the coal with 300,000 cash, and the price of coal had been depressed to a penny of silver, and after a few months, it completely destroyed the foundation of the industrial faction in Shuntianfu.

The price of coal can be restored from one penny to one load of silver to a normal three dollars of silver.

At that time, as soon as Fan Yongdou sold it, the price of the coal in his hand could be tripled, and 300,000 taels would become 900,000 taels.

Nearly a million taels.

Fan Yongdou's horse gang worked tirelessly for a year, and he had to risk killing his head, and he couldn't earn 200,000 taels of silver.

Now he is just sitting at home drinking tea, collecting accounts, and arranging some warehouses for storing coal.

In just a few months, he was able to turn 300,000 taels of silver into 900,000 taels, and this business was inevitably too easy to do.

Li Lusheng, who has such a ability to reach the sky, has not yet been an official in the imperial court, and when he becomes the cabinet chief assistant and holds the power in his hands, let Fan Yongdou open a field in the eastern Liaodong frontier, it is not yet easy to capture.

At that time, the Fan family would no longer have to do business with the Great Qing Kingdom, just the money collected by the Jin merchants and the merchants of the Great Qing Kingdom every year was enough for the Fan family to be rich enough to rival the country.

Thinking of this, Fan Yongdou toasted Li Lusheng again, and said solemnly: "There is nothing to help or not, you and I will be a family in the future." ”

"I heard that your family and son still have a flat wife who has not married, and there is a niece outside the staff who knows books and gifts, and she is still the daughter of Kunyu, a fellow mother outside the staff, I don't know what Brother Li thinks."

Li Lusheng directly put the wine glass on the table, and left the wine table in the stunned eyes of the three Jin merchants, just when the three Jin merchants thought that Fan Yongdou had angered Li Lusheng, thinking about how to make up for the relationship between the two sides.

Li Lusheng walked in again, holding a piece of peach-colored rice paper with undried ink in his hand, and said sincerely: "This is the dog's birthday, and the matter of in-laws should be sooner rather than later." ”

"I also hope that after Brother Fan goes back, he will hand over the dog's birthday to Ling Kunyu as soon as possible."

"Haha-" "Haha-"

Fan Yongdou only mentioned it, but he didn't expect Li Lusheng to be really a cool person, so he wrote the eight characters of his birthday on the spot.

I have more confidence in Li Lusheng becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet, and I mourned Zhu Shun silently, and I have such an opponent.

Not everyone can have no bottom line to even use their own son, or the only seedling is passed on, and the tiger poison does not eat children.

Fan Yongdou was relieved, but the other two Great Jin merchants were worried, and good things couldn't always be taken up by the Fan family.

In the matter of coal, because Fan Yongdou agreed first, he seized the opportunity and ate a full 300,000 taels of silver.

The matter of in-laws cannot be left behind, after all, with the relationship between children and daughters, you must take care of your own family first when you have good things.

But Li Lusheng has only one son, and he has already married two wives, so he can't let their nieces be concubines.

If this spreads, where will the face of the two Great Jin businessmen go, and even if the two of them agree, the old lady of the family will not agree to let his granddaughter be a concubine.

Just when the two big Jin merchants were at a loss, Li Lusheng's next words raised the level of the three big Jin merchants to have no bottom line for him.

Li Lusheng said lightly: "The dog's two-room wife is seriously ill and won't live long. ”
