Wang Yan's rise to prominence so quickly was inseparable from the support of the merchants of Guangnan and the gentry of Huguang, who provided a large amount of political donations and resources for the Chu Party to take power.

In the entire battle of Jiangnan, the five loyal troops went east from Wuchang to strive for the recovery of Nanjing, and most of the materials such as military salaries, grain and grass, and equipment were contributed by the gentry behind the Chu party.

Now that the Chu Party is in power, as the gentry and businessmen behind it, it is natural to collect returns.

After Wang Yan entered the cabin, he frowned slightly when he listened to the words of the crowd, if he wants to get rich, he has to wait for him to gain a firm foothold, he is now full of bags, and he was challenged like this as soon as he became a regent, what kind of mess are you adding to it at this time?

Li Suiqiu first asked Wang Yan to sit down, and then said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is still food, but it can't be transported now." ”

And the food? Wang Yan was even more confused, he looked at Chen Yonghua and a group of Guangnan businessmen and said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

Chen Yonghua saw that Wang Yan was a little angry, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, we heard that His Highness had conquered Nanjing over there in Guangnan, and thought that Jiangnan was in ruins, so he went from Guangnan to Huguang, and happened to hear that a famine broke out in Jiangnan, so he came to provide disaster relief for His Highness." ”

"Mother's for orphans again?" Wang Yan was slightly stunned, so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, they were organizing a group to go to Jiangnan to reap benefits.

Jiangnan used to be the gentry of Jiangnan, the world of large textile households in Susong, and various industries were controlled by the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they made many profits every year. Later, the Qing army went south, and the Jin merchants who supported the Qing court also quickly gained benefits in the south with the expansion of the Qing court's power.

Now that the Ming army has returned to Jiangnan, the Jin merchants have returned to the north early, and many industries in Jiangnan are in ruins.

Wang Yan frowned, he still owes people money, the Chu Party has mastered the government, and they want political dividends, which is understandable, but there is one thing he must remind, "You want to buy land?" If you want to do something else, it's not impossible, but there is a saying, Lone must be said first, and you must abide by the rules and not mess around. ”

"We all understand the rules of His Royal Highness, we are all law-abiding businessmen, and we are different from the inferior gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Everyone laughed in unison.

After four years of contact, they have reached a tacit understanding with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's face was better when he heard this, the merchants of Guangnan wanted to enter Jiangnan, which would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the gentry in Jiangnan and bring some trouble to Wang Yan, but who made the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang so ignorant of the rules? Let the gentry of Guangnan come in, which is also a warning to the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if he encounters anything in the future, with them, he will not be so passive.

"Sit down!" Wang Yan wants to sing, but he has to set up a stage for this group of people.

When the businessmen heard this, they immediately sat down with a smile. Thinking back to a few years ago, when they saw Wang Yan, they didn't dare to sit and couldn't refuse, so they leaned back on the chair like a sign, and didn't dare to sit down, but now they are very down-to-earth.

Wang Yan saw that they were gone, and he smiled helplessly, "Say it!" Where is the food and when will it arrive? ”

Chen Yonghua hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Highness, at the end of August, the Quang Nam Naval Division, together with the Nguyen clan of Annam, and the Kingdom of Chenla, attacked the city for more than half a year, and finally destroyed the city, and the seized materials were not counted, one of which was 400,000 stone rice to occupy the city. These grains, plus the grains purchased by many merchants in Guangnan from Nanyang and Liangguang, were transported to Huguang through the Lingqu for transportation, and are now hidden in Hengyang. ”

Wang Yan's face was happy after hearing this, he didn't particularly care about the small country in the city, the key was that he heard that there was food, but he was a little puzzled, "Why take the Lingqu instead of shipping, so that the cost of transportation will not increase?" Why hide in Hengyang? ”

"Because of the sea, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will inevitably find grain ships, and we are now secretly transporting them in the name of transporting ordnance under the banner of ordnance supervision." Chen Yonghua said: "Your Highness, such a good opportunity, shouldn't you teach the inferior gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang a lesson?" The grain is hidden in Hengyang, naturally, in order to make a big profit, and let go of the blood of the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Wang Yan is not too proficient in these problems, but Chen Yonghua is the big shopkeeper of the Wude firm, managing the money bags of the Wuzhong Army, and is proficient in business operations.

The countermeasures that Wang Yan can think of are to find out where the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are stockpiling grain, get evidence of their hoarding, and then go through official channels to directly copy and arrest people, but he always feels that the countermeasures are not enough.

"Oh?" Wang Yan heard Chen Yonghua say this, he could make the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang bleed and make a lot of money, and he immediately became interested, "What is Fufu's strategy?" ”

Chen Yonghua did not answer, but looked like Li Suiqiu, who immediately stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness's urgent document was sent to Wuchang, and it happened that Fufu also arrived in Huguang with many merchants, we originally wanted to purchase grain according to His Highness's order, and then quickly transported it to Nanjing, but when the humble people went down to buy grain, they found that the price of grain in Huguang had doubled in a few days, rising to one or two or five dollars of silver and one stone. Governor Wu hurriedly ordered a ban, but the people pursued profits, and there were still transactions in secret. ”

Wang Yan listened carefully, but he didn't expect the inferior gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to go to Huguang to sell grain, this is not only a matter of them wanting to annex land at a low price, but also against Wang Yan, "Say, how are you going to deal with them." ”

Chen Yonghua said at this time: "These people maliciously hoarded and raised the price of grain, which is really hateful. If we don't have grain in our hands, we can only buy it back from them at a high price, so that they can make a lot of money, but they didn't expect that the sailors would have a harvest on the Champa side, and now they have enough rice and grain in their hands. On the one hand, we can help them continue to raise the price of grain, and raise the price of grain to three taels, four taels, or even higher, and on the other hand, let the firms transfer grain from all over the country, and the government will borrow grain from Annam and Chenla, let them collect it, and even lend money for them to collect, and when they think that we have run out of grain and must buy it from them at a high price, we will transport the grain to Nanjing and spread the news that the Guangnan Navy Division has conquered the city. Aren't we making a lot of money out of it? ”

Wang Yan was stunned when he heard it, but he was also a business-oriented official, these are not difficult to understand, and it is explained by one of the words in the thirty-six strategies, that is, "going up to the house and drawing ladders".

At this moment, Wang Yan's train of thought was also opened, "This plan is good, but you must ensure that the food in our hands is enough for disaster relief, don't play with it." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, in a while, the third season of Nanyang will be ripe. We destroyed the city, and now the merchants have done a lot better in the trade in Nanyang, and even the Annam Li clan is also obedient a lot. Chen Yonghua said.

Wang Yan nodded, China has two crops, Nanyang three crops, the grain in their hands, as long as they can hold on to the third crop of rice in Nanyang, it can be done, instead of insisting on the summer harvest next year, "Okay, this matter will be done according to your ideas, but it seems that it is still too cheap for these inferior gentry, it is better to do this, you will stir up the price of grain, consume all their money, and let Jinyiwei step up to detect where they store grain, and then end it in one pot, let this group of unruly inferior gentry run out of money and food." ”

Sell, let them sell a mother! After listening to Wang Yan's decision, the Guangnan businessmen who were seated couldn't help but mourn for a while for these Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry, but at the same time, they were also a little vigilant in their hearts.
