PS: Happy New Year everyone! The best time of 2015 is about to leave, and I can't help everyone!

There is a sentence that has been said badly by the public knowledge and Weibo influencers on the Internet, that is, the so-called rumors force the truth. Although this is very shameless, it seems to be so appropriate to use it in Liaodong at this time.

A few days later, Sonny took Hauge and Duoduo to escort the peace mission sent by Grand Prince Li back to Shengjing. It's just that for these two banner lords, Sonny did not serve as the master, but loaded them into the prisoner car, and ordered the Kabush soldiers to escort them with knives and guns all the way. And their Bayala soldiers were treated even more miserably, tied into a string of ropes, like strings of crabs, and were driven away by the guards with kicks and beatings.

Of course, as the master and the prince, Hauge and Dolgon still have special preferential treatment, that is, others have nothing on their mouths, and each of them has an extra silk scarf as a rope, although they want to speak, but they can't say a word.

Along the way, all the pedestrians looked sideways, and no one expected that the two powerful and arrogant princes would have such treatment. Not to mention that they didn't expect it, even Hauge and Duoduo were like in a dream, obviously Sony was respectful to them at first, but when they relaxed a little, Sony played the cup as a set, and then, that's it.

Soon, they were escorted outside the gate of the Shengjing Imperial Palace. And at the gate of the palace, it has long been crowded with people watching the excitement. First, people want to see the miserable appearance of the two princes, and second, they also want to know the exact news. Huang Taiji did not disappoint them, as soon as the two princes arrived, Huang Taiji issued a decree, and Haug Duoduo connived at his soldiers and minions to try to offend the mission. Fortunately, the mission was benevolent and did not pursue it, so it did not make a big mistake.

However, the two princes were not strict in discipline, and they should not be spared, and they were punished with public whipping, and they were confined for seven days. Then. More than a dozen heads of the blue flag and the white flag Manchuria were cut in two and hung high. Then, a few strong men covered with tendons and flesh raised their whips, stripped the clothes off the two princes, and then beat them mercilessly. The onlookers saw it clearly, every whip went down, it was a purple stripe, and it started with two stripes. Later, it became nine, and in the end, the whole back was pasted. After the fight, although I didn't hear the two princes shouting, people can also be sure that these two people are estimated to have a month off and want to get up from the kang!

After the fight, the people were taken away, and then, Huang Taiji announced. The mission is now resting in Gaizhou, at most half a month later. It will come, so please believe and rest assured, and do not be deceived by traitors.

I want to cover it up!

Sometimes that's the case, the more you tell the truth, the more people think you're lying. Everyone thinks that Huang Taiji whipped Hauge and Duoduo. Killing their Bayala soldiers was just to cover people's eyes. Now all kinds of rumors pop up!

After listening to Huang Taiji's words, everyone dispersed calmly. However, although the people are scattered, the market is not calm. That day. Shengjing's prices re-set records, almost everyone believed it, and the rumors were true! The mission was really attacked, the peace negotiations failed, and the merchants of the Southern Barbarians never returned. The panic made people completely lose their minds, rush to buy, take out everything they have, as long as there are still things, whether it is oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, or needles and threads, or even coffins, shrouds, toilets and urinals. And the scalpers are also panicking, such a crazy rush to buy, where is the goods enough, of course this is not a problem, the most important thing is, what if it rises tomorrow? Don't you lose a lot of money now?

That night, the scalpers squeezed the Sonny family and frantically demanded to buy the treetops. Sony said with a black face at first that he didn't see anyone, but later, out of embarrassment, he met with a few scalper leaders led by him. Although I saw it, my face was also very ugly. But at this moment, even if Sony's face is darker than Bao Gong's, in the eyes of scalpers, it is a face that is kinder than his mother. After the politeness, Sonny said with a straight face: "Everyone, the situation is so chaotic, you are still in the mood to accumulate money, do you know that there is still a word morality in this world?" ”

The scalper almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and said in his heart, Master, you can still say this with so much black money in your house, who should think about the word morality? However, this is resolutely not daring to say, so the scalpers can only be careful to say that we are also for the life of the old and the young, there is no way, even if it is Suo Ye, don't you have to consider what the old snacks are not in the future? Hearing this, Sonny sighed and said, "Okay, the matter has come to this point, and it is not human power to undo it." I do have a batch of goods here, but the current market, as you know, it is normal to multiply several times tomorrow. I don't ask for a double, just according to the price tonight, but it's either cash or borrow from me, but the interest is a little higher, and it is estimated that you yourself feel sorry for it, so let's go for twenty. ”

If it were normal, these scalpers would definitely be so angry that they would throw their sleeves and leave. But now, seeing that the rush to buy outside is uncontrollable, who would dare to say that the interest rate is high. At that moment, I didn't hesitate to sign the deed of sale, yes, wrong, it was a loan contract, and then I left with a thousand thanks.

When they were no longer visible, Sonny's eldest son, Kabula, said cautiously, "Amma, isn't that right?" If the peace treaty between our Qing Dynasty and the young marshal of the Nanyue Army is signed in two days, the trade between Liaodong and the Nanyue Army will no longer be affected, and the prices in Shengjing will inevitably plummet. ”

Sonny glared at his son fiercely and said, "Bastard, the kindness of the woman, if they don't die, the Great Qing Kingdom will die." In a few days, even if they don't want to jump, I'll go to their house and throw their whole family into the muddy river. You remembered for me that there is only one policy for this kind of person, no mercy! ”

Looking at Sony, who was full of voice, no one else dared to speak, but Suo Etu said in a crisp voice: "Amma, it's really wrong for you to do this." Sony looked at Suo Etu and found that he looked like a little adult, knowing that he had something to say, so he simply suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as pleasantly as possible: "San'er, if you have something to say, don't hide it." ”

Suo Etu blinked and said, "Amma, these people are in a hurry, and at most they will die. How much is their whole family worth? I mean, let them take out some things and mortgage them to Amma, our Great Qing Kingdom is worth everything else now, but the minions are not worth anything. However, I heard Ama say before, at the place of the Southern Barbarians. Minions are also worth a lot of money. Therefore, it is best to find these people tomorrow, let their masters make a guarantee, once they can't pay off their debts, they will use slaves to pay off their debts, of course, they are all Qing people, they can't go too far, men, women and children can pay off their debts. ”

Listened to Suo Etu's words. Sonile directly picked up Suo Etu and kissed it, and then said: "Three, look, it's still thoughtful in our family." You have made a great contribution, San'er, don't worry, wait for two days, the Southern Barbarian is coming, what do you like. Amma will buy you anything, and will not break her word. ”

Suo Etu was also very happy. He coquettishly said: "I want the sugar and meat porcelain urn of the Southern Barbarian, and I also want a mirror." Sonny smiled and said, "Okay, okay, anyway, our backyard is Yinshan, it's all trivial." ”

"Then I'll give a few sets of glass wine sets to the eldest brother and second brother!"

"My good son! Know that there is a benefit to be with your eldest brother and second brother?! ”

The father and son are a father and son, and the scene of brothers, friends and brothers, enjoy the joy of family. But after a while. Suo Etu seemed to suddenly remember something, so he said: "Amma, although our family has made a lot of money this time, but when the southern barbarians come, there is still a little money to be made." ”

Sonny was stunned again when he heard this, and said, "San'er." And what money? Is there any little money that our family still lacks? ”

Suo Etu smiled, although he was just a child, he had already revealed the grandeur of the two powerful ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty, he smiled and said to Ama and the eldest brother Kalabu: "It's those slaves, Ama, if you raise them, you still have to take care of food and housing, and if you sell them, the Southern Barbarians can't take them away at once." In my opinion, it is better to make a deal with the Southern Barbarians. I heard that the Nanban can earn two silver dollars a month, although our minions are not so much, but it is not a lot to give half a dollar. Send all these people to work, they eat well and have wages, Amma, you have money to earn and a good reputation. ”

Sonny didn't mean to be happy after hearing this, but hesitated a little, and he said, "Three, this thing is not easy to do. If the Southern Barbarians detain or kill people, I will not be a sinner. Besides, what should I do if these minions don't go? ”

Suo Etu smiled and said: "Ama, don't worry, I heard from people outside that although the Southern Barbarians are ferocious, they are extremely hostile to my Daqing on the battlefield. But they also have one good thing, and that is to follow the rules! You see, the grain and cloth they sold to us are much better than those Shanxi merchants! The son concluded that they would not easily detain or kill. Besides, as long as people insist on fighting now, we will all be killed sooner or later, can people commit it? As for those minions, it is easy to say, give them two paths, either go to Shandong, or jump into the Hunhe River, and choose freely, we will never force it. ”

When he said this, a hideous smile appeared on Suo Etu's face, which was extremely inappropriate for his age.

Suo Etu and his son were at home carefully planning for the next step. And in the palace of Prince Yu not far away, the Dorgon brothers also gathered together.

"Oops! Oops! Fuck you! You dog minion, be light! It hurts this king to death! Duoduo lay on the kang, and a few langzhong carried bowls, which were full of ointment, and gently applied them to Duoduo's whip wounds. As the ointment was applied, Duoduo felt a touch of coolness replace the original hot sensation.

"Second brother! You say, why did that fat man do that!? ”

"That's it! Second brother, you said that you are too, the current market in Shengjing City is so good, but you strictly ordered our minions not to make a move, and to get involved in this, isn't this a way for the minions to get along with the white flowers! In the long run, these minions will be separated from us! ”

One of Dorgon's brothers was dissatisfied with his actions and methods.

"Humph! No matter how good the market is, it is also a poisonous mushroom in the mountains and forests, which looks colorful, and eating it will kill them! Dorgon sneered, showing great contempt for the two brothers' short-sightedness.

"Not only did I not let them continue to mix in, but I also quickly discounted the grain, rice, cloth, oil, and salt that we had hoarded in our hands and exchanged them for silver dollars.

Although they didn't know what it meant to cash out, the large amount of silver in their accounts made Azig and Duoduo calm down some of their grievances.

"Second brother, why don't you do it?" Azig was still a little unsatisfied, and he still missed the large amount of silver that had come into his account some time ago. There is a bit of reluctance.

"You're also fooled by the nonsense on the street?" Dolgon was angry and amused, knowing that his brother had entered the city with the mission at about the same time, but he was blinded by the rumors outside.

"If it weren't for the fact that Huang Taiji's black fat man had reached a peace agreement with the eldest prince of the Li family in private, do you think that guy who was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early would be so aggressive and sent a thousand Kabush soldiers to greet the mission, and the states and counties along the way greeted him as one? I bet you this is the situation. Nine times out of ten, the dead fat man was at the mercy of the man! The purpose is to toss our five flags! The material and financial resources of these five flags have been tossed up, and they have all become bargaining chips in his hands, and at that time, he will really take it in these eight flags, and he will have the final say! ”

However, just as there is no absolutely pure water in the world, whether it is the two white flags mastered by Dolgon Dordor, the positive red flag mastered by Azig, or even the two yellow flags and the positive blue flag led by Huang Taiji's father and son, who can be unmoved in the face of great temptation?

Although Dorgon has issued a strict order not to allow the minions of the Three Banners to mix in the material hype. However, no one does the so-called loss-making business, and the head-killing business is rushed to do. How many people can afford to buy something in their hands and pour it out overnight to get a big profit?

"If that's the case, if they are looking for death themselves, they will not be able to complain about this king!" Duoduo lay on the kang and asked the second brother such a question. Dolgon smiled and answered the fifteenth brother's question, "As long as we three brothers don't participate in this empty joy." Tighten your money bag, and the rest of the things, let's just watch the excitement! He looked confident, and although Duoduo and Azig still had doubts in their hearts, they also determined to just watch the excitement.

Sure enough, there was a bustle in Shengjing City. As the mission entered the city, it began to take a turn for the worse.

As soon as the mission entered the city, like a pot of hot oil, Shengjing poured a scoop of cold water on its head in the hot oil, and began to cool the violent temperature.

"Didn't you say that the missions were all killed? Why did this group of southern barbarians fall from the sky? ”

In people's confusion. Huang Taiji began to order his subordinates to throw out good news one by one.

"The emperor proposed peace to the Nanyue Army, and the eldest prince of the Li family has already agreed to negotiate peace and trade! The mission came to Shengjing this time only to discuss some detailed terms. ”

"After the discussion and text of the agreement are clear, the emperor will use the treasure seal, and the Nanyue army will use a big ship to carry grain and cloth from Shandong to Liaodong for trade!"

It seems that in order to cooperate with the good news released by Huang Taiji, several businesses in the city have begun to buy the skins, raw gold, beeswax, ginseng and other things in the hands of ordinary flag people. Although the purchase price is still the kind that eats people and does not spit out bones, these local products in the hands of ordinary people can finally be sold, and the city is running to tell each other for a while.

This is tantamount to the first pipe surge on the Yangtze River embankment, the originally tiny anthill quickly turned into a hole, and the turbulent and violent river water struggled to wash the embankment that was already on the verge of collapse! Under the impact of the huge current, in the blink of an eye, the hole became a big gap, and in an instant, the embankment collapsed!

Seeing the momentum of the soaring prices, the ordinary bannermen and Yu Ding under the Liaodong anti-thief clique, as well as the grassroots officers like Tuha, who had already been tormented by prices ten or twenty times that of previous years, immediately stopped their rush to buy, turned around and picked up all kinds of products that they thought could not be sold for any price, and went to the store that opened the door to try their luck.

This is tantamount to another dam failure, and it makes those who are bent on making a big profit in this wave want to cry without tears! In their own hands and warehouses, all kinds of commercial goods are piled up. Not to mention anything else, salt, tea, vegetable oil, cloth and other commercial goods are enough for the people in Shengjing and Liaoyang for several years!

However, now it is all smashed in his hands! Several scalper bosses who were full of guests in the past suddenly felt powerless, their expressions were haggard, their gray hair was thick, their eyes were dull, their expressions were dead, and a sentence lingered in their minds and kept repeating there, "It's over!" Finished! ”

The hype, whether it is a house or garlic, is similar to a game of drumming and passing flowers, and in the end it is all about finding a pick-up. According to historical experience, most of the time the role of this pick-up man is played by ordinary people.

But in this hype, scalpers of all sizes found that the goods they bought for a lot of money from Sony began to become unsellable!

And the news about the progress of the peace talks that kept coming out of the palace made the prices in Shengjing and Liaoyang and other places feel like taking laxatives, which is a bit of a catastrophe.

Gossip began to spread everywhere in the city, a certain banner and a slave of the Jialazhang Jing family, who was still a hot rich man in Shengjing City a few days ago, was found at home yesterday, and the whole family had committed suicide by taking poison.

"Did you hear that? Someone has killed himself again! This time, it is said that he is still a slave of Lord Baylor's family! My neighbor and the next-door neighbor of his wife's family are relatives, and I heard him say that the dead ghost knelt in front of the master's door for a day and a night to ask to see the master, but the master did not open the door. Then he left a sentence, why don't you say that you can't see Lao Tzu when Lao Tzu makes money for you? Now that you've lost money, you're hiding as a shrunken turtle?! Then the whole family put on new clothes, and after a great meal and drink, the whole family died! ”

Among the Eight Banners, people who participated in price speculation began to experience the bitter fruits of the price crash. Many people were holding the paperwork signed with Sony in their hands, looking at this note, which a few days ago still represented white flowers and silver dollars, but now it was as terrifying as the talisman of Lord Yama.

"How? At the beginning, I asked you to strictly control the minions and not to make a move, but now you know that it is powerful, right? Hearing the news of how many families in Shengjing City had committed suicide because of this incident, Dolgon smiled at the two brothers.

"Second child, you are really smart! In this way, those minions under my command who don't listen to the greetings can't find their graves when they cry! Azig, who has been worrying about how to establish his prestige in Zhenghong Banner Manchuria and purge the dissident forces of Daishan and others, smiled like a water scoop.

"The second brother is amazing! I heard that the minions under its command said that the princes of our two white flags did not listen to the second brother's greetings, and secretly ordered the servants in the family to come forward, and as a result, they had to pay their wives' dowry! ”

"It's not just our two white flags, the slaves heard that it's the two yellow flags, the two blue flags and the red flags, and they are also crying everywhere." Cao Jueluo and Cao Zhenyan, who were standing on the side, were also smiling.

"Wait! When the matter of peace is confirmed, they will lose even more. At that time, it's not too late for us to make another move! (To be continued.) )
