Chapter 200: Cixi Feng (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Long. ＂＂

After a long shaking of the bed, the bed finally quieted down, and the two of them warmed up together after passion.

After another long time, Ye Niangzi finally got up, standing in Liu Chang's position, her slender waist was actually thrilling beauty.

It's beautiful! Liu Chang's fingertips gently brushed over the silky smooth skin, and said to her: "You want me to go out of a camp, I agreed!" ”

"No!" Ye Niangzi has already changed her mind: "I'll go to Panshi Village with you to see what good things Demons has brought you and then bring people back to Yuhuan?" And ......"

"What else?" Liu Chang couldn't help asking, "What do you want!" ”

Ye Niangzi had a perfect curve on her back, she lowered her head, rummaged through Liu Chang's clothes, and soon found two revolvers: "These two revolvers, as well as bullets, are all mine!" ”

"And these pieces of silver and gold are mine!"

"And the gold jewelry, too!"

Ye Niangzi bent down and checked the bits and pieces of good things in Liu Chang, and her jade back was directly exposed to Liu Chang's sight, how could she not see enough!

After a while, Ye Niangzi put on a plain dress, and when she was looking for pants to put on, the whole person was suddenly hugged by Liu Chang, hugged tightly, and she said with a thin sneer: "Good check, I really have no strength, my waist is sore!" ”

"For me, it doesn't matter how sore your back is, this time I'm going to appreciate you well!"

He had already thought of Ye Niangzi's swaying Snow Jade Peak, her charming appearance, and even more so of her dressed and serious......

Ye Niangzi sat down slowly, only to feel hot and hard, and scolded with joy and surprise in her heart: "This stingy ghost, why is he still so strong......"

She felt like her waist was about to break, but she felt like she had found a treasure.

……

"The situation in Taizhou has deteriorated so much?"

Zhang Yuzao's urgent letter had already arrived in Duan Guangqing's hands, and now he asked his masters: "Everyone, what are the good measures to deal with the red thief?" ”

Several masters are his henchmen, some are in charge of the criminal name, and some are in charge of the Qian Valley, but now they can't come up with a proposition at all, only one of the division names told the truth: "Now even Taiyong and Taizhou Green Camp can't resist, we in Ningbo only have Guangyong available in Buxing, what else can we do?" ”

This is to tell the truth, Ningbo is now a treaty port, Chinese and foreign, the place is extremely luxurious, so the green camp is especially unusable.

Ningbo City guards the six battalions of the green battalion, but there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in existence, even these more than 1,000 people have nothing to use, the year before last the Shanghai knife will be in turmoil, afraid that the knife will attack across the sea, Duan Guangqing can only use the empty city strategy, the more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers every five days a drill, and hire Yong to name more than 100,000, each issued 100 money to fill the snack.

But when it comes to the combat effectiveness of this green battalion, Duan Guangqing knows better than these of his staff, in the second year of Xianfeng, he became more powerful because of the disposal of the Dongxiang people, and he praised it from top to bottom, but the reason why the Dongxiang people dared to besiege the officers and soldiers, killing more than 20 officials and more than 200 officers and soldiers, was for a reason.

In the first year of Xianfeng, Zhang Chaoqing, a native of Dongxiang, asked for the salt boundary, which was extremely reasonable and in line with the interests of the people, but was arrested and put in prison by Ningbo Prefecture and County.

At that time, the governor of Zhejiang was in Ningbo to deal with affairs, and when he heard that such a major event had occurred, he immediately fired artillery and asked the green battalion soldiers to attack.

As a result, the people of Ningbo believed that even the governor personally opened fire, and more than 1,000 officers and men of the sixth battalion of the green battalion did not see a single person to fight, and the officers and soldiers were not worth talking about. ..., the current situation of Ningbo Green Camp is even more unbearable than in the early years of Xianfeng, the sailor did not dare to go to sea to patrol at all, Duan Guangqing asked the water and land admiral to go out to sea to patrol to defend the merchant ships, but the officers and soldiers of the sailor said that they were going to kill them, in this case, Ningbo's own defense force is not worth mentioning at all.

The only available thing is Guang Yong in Bu Xing, but Guang Yong is good at water warfare, although he is also known as an expert by land, but the number of soldiers is too small, and it is still useless, not to mention that Guang Yong is a member, and the monthly salary is as much as twelve taels, Duan Guangqing can't afford to hire too much Guang Yong.

As for recruiting Tuyong in Ningbo Mansion, it will not work, recruiting Yong needs financial resources, and the wealth comes from the rich businessmen and gentlemen, and Ningbo businessmen and the people have always had a fine tradition of resisting taxes in commercial cities, and some people in Ningbo Mansion recruited thousands of water and land warriors each, ready to use them to fight against the Taiping Army, but as a result, Tuyong Yicheng, Ningbo Merchants and gentlemen spoke in unison, saying that people's hearts were alarmed, not only did not help pay, but regarded the people who recruited Yong as a chaotic party.

Duan Guangqing could only ask: "That battalion is useless, Tuyong is not enough, can only use the guest army to recruit Guangyong, is there a way to raise salaries?" ”

"Sir!" A teacher name came up with an idea: "The key to raising salaries lies in the Feng family in Cixi!" ”

Cixi Feng family? Duan Guangqing could only smile bitterly: "I'm just afraid that I won't move this big Buddha." ”

The Cixi Feng family is not a simple famous family, but a real famous family for more than a thousand years.

Now the Cixi Feng family is not only a wealthy businessman in Ningbo, they started with a pharmacy, the money is all over the country, Xianfeng three years, Xianfeng Emperor ordered the whole country to donate military salaries, the result is that there is a royal history of the Feng family's family assets of 20 million taels, and the result of the Xianfeng Emperor specially ordered the Feng family to donate millions of taels.

As a result, the Ningbo gentry were speechless, and the official also said that they should donate at least 350,000 taels of silver, and as a result, the Feng family announced that they would collect all the business, and presented their own family accounts.

Ningbo wharf large and small shopkeepers, borrowed more money surnamed Feng, heard that the Feng family wanted to collect business, all said: I can't wait for business, Ningbo business, then Ningbo's wharf will be ruined; All provinces heard that the surname Feng stopped business because of donations, and the rich families in the world were afraid of it, and the businessman Xiao Suo, which had a lot to do with it

As a result, Duan Guangqing thought that looting too much silver from the Feng family at one time would cause too much economic turmoil and too much to do, so he thought that he should release the water to raise fish, and the donation was not a matter of one at a time, one year or two years, but to slowly scrape money in the Feng family, and as a result, the Feng family took out 120,000 taels of silver at one time, and the entire Ningbo Mansion only donated a total of 500,000 taels except for the Feng family.

Even if it is 120,000 taels of silver, you can also imagine the wealth of the Feng family, you must know that the family of tens of millions, the liquidity may not be 200,000 or 300,000 silver, and more assets are converted into movable and immovable property, and the Feng family can easily take out 120,000 taels at a time, which can know the degree of its strong capital.

And Duan Guangqing's strategy of releasing water to raise fish has also had a certain effect, from the third year of Xiannian to now, the Feng family has donated three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, and looking at this momentum, it can also scrape out hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels, and it is much better to siphon out all the working capital of the Feng family at one time, resulting in the Feng family's ineffective turnover.

Therefore, Duan Guangqing can be regarded as having a little friendship with the Feng family, but if he wants to prevent the red thief this time, it is not a small problem that can be solved by hundreds of thousands of taels: "If you want to invite the Feng family to appear and preside over everything, I'm afraid I can't go to Cixi, I have to invite Futai to come!" ”

"As long as the Cixi Qian family can raise five or six hundred thousand taels of military salaries, then it doesn't hurt to come to Cixi from Futai!" Shi Ming suggested: "I'm afraid that after this red thief breaks through Taizhou, he will inevitably go north to Ningbo Mansion, and this military salary must be raised as soon as possible!" ”

Duan Guangqing nodded and said, "I will ask Futai to come to Cixi in person and ask the Feng family to help pay five or six hundred thousand yuan to prevent the red thieves!" "...,"Cixi Feng family? ”

Liu Chang is also mentioning this name: "If we attack Ningbo Mansion, we must let the Feng family not move?" ”

Ye Niangzi now has three revolvers in her waist, and she told Liu Chang: "That's right, the Feng family has tens of millions of assets, if they don't escape to Shanghai from the sea, then Ningbo Mansion is a chicken that can lay eggs, otherwise it will only be a bay of stagnant water!" ”

She has been doing business with Ge Mengjin at sea all the year round, and she may know all about these wealthy businessmen along the coast, and the Cixi Feng family is the object of her long-term attention.

Such a wealthy businessman, as long as he makes a vote, he can not open for a year or two, but Ye Niangzi has been staring at it for a year or two, but she can't find the slightest opportunity.

However, in this way, she has a very, deep understanding of Ningbo Mansion: "Ningbo Mansion is rich in silk, salt and fishery, but in fact, it is bordered by rivers and mountains, which is not as good as Zhejiang's lower three mansions." ”

The next three mansions are Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou, that is, the essence of the Hangjiahu Plain, Liu Chang has long regarded these three mansions as a bag, and the dream of Chaosi is to take Hangjiahu and Ningshao Wufu, with such a five-province territory in hand, it is enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops.

But Ye Niangzi told him that things are not so simple, although Ningbo is known as the land of fishing and rice, but in terms of natural conditions, it is far from the following three prefectures, the reason why he can be so rich today is that the key is in one point, that is, commerce.

At this time, China had only five foreign treaty ports, namely Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai, known as the Five Ports of Commerce, and this monopoly treaty port made Ningbo the most prosperous commercial city in Zhejiang Province.

That's right, the trade volume of Ningbo Port is second only to Shanghai on the southeast coast, far above Fuzhou and Xiamen, and countless merchant ships come and go between Ningbo and various ports at home and abroad every day.

Not to mention, the merchant ships of the Ningbo North merchant reached more than 300, and the number of merchants of the South also had this number, plus the considerable size of the foreign merchant fleet, constituting the axis of Ningbo's prosperity.

And Ye Niangzi told Liu Chang: "If we enter Ningbo, it is best to do the work of the Feng family in Tongcixi, and at least let them leave some of their families to take care of the house, otherwise, we can only get a dead port." ”

Liu Chang thought about it and already understood that the Cixi Feng family was the primary representative of the commercial capital of the entire Ningbo Gang, and his every move also represented the trend of the entire Ningbo commercial capital.

Although he will definitely be able to successfully occupy the entire Taizhou Mansion and then take the Ningbo Mansion in the future, whether he can do it through the Ningbo Gang represented by the Cixi Feng family also means how valuable the Ningbo Mansion is.

Therefore, he affectionately called Ye Niangzi's name: "Yudie good wife, do you have any ideas?" ”
