Chapter 932: Silver Solstice
Zhou Kui sneered again and said, "That big car, which one is not worth hundreds or thousands of silver?" There are more than 1,000 cars, you calculate how much their carriages and horses are worth, and then count the branches in various places, which store is not piled up with mountains of goods, with countless manpower, such a trading house, which Xungui's store can compare? This group of rural brains, listening to the wind and seeing the rain, has no color at all, and Yusheng even if he doesn't get together for a while, it's a big deal, but the family business is too big, and if the stall is spread out for a while, people's family will be short of your small money? ”
The people around listened and nodded frequently, this week Kui really woke up, no wonder he was able to mix up the name in this strong hand like a forest, and the mouth cannon was full of people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Shi Congbin heard this, he also felt ashamed, looking at Zhou Kui, he wanted to hear this person say a few more words, but Zhou Kui said too much, and he felt thirsty, so he shouted: "Erya, bring me a pot of tea." ”
Zhou Kui rented a small courtyard on the street, and the annual rent here in Zhengyangmen was sixty taels, which was very expensive, enough to buy a decent house in the countryside.
But Zhou Kui thought it was worth it, he could increase his knowledge here, meet a lot of people with status, and it was a kind of venture capital for him, not to mention anything else, and the opportunity to make a name for himself here was much greater, at least the hexagram gold was much more than those charlatans who picked and slashed.
Listening to Zhou Kui's shouting, a ten-year-old lady walked out of the courtyard gate with a teapot, because she was not very old, and she stayed in such a lively place in the capital, of course, this little girl couldn't talk about avoiding strange men, in front of everyone, she generously carried the kettle out, put it on the side of her father's table, and turned back generously, carefully covering the door facing the street.
"That's right!" An idle man saw that Zhou Kui poured a belly of tea, and he was refreshed, and immediately said: "What about the king of letters, I don't know anything?" ”
"Hehe...... Zhou Kui sneered a few times and said, "I just know about the king of letters." This matter of the shops in Zhengyangmen has not been able to hide from me. ”
"What's the matter, tell me about it?"
"That's not going to be able to, you can't say it, you can't say it." Zhou Kui was mixed up on the street, looking at what he dared to say, but he also knew what to say and what to say that he couldn't really say.
The factory guard is not terrible now, and the people in Beijing have gradually forgotten what the factory guard was like when he was powerful, but the majesty of the factory guard when Zhou Kui was a child is not comparable to now, at that time, civil officials often died, and there was nothing to stimulate the Wanli Emperor who was hiding in the deep palace, most of Wanli was forbearant and tolerant, and he didn't take it very seriously, but there were some that were too much, and Wanli would order the Jinyi Guard to take people if he was very angry, and then he saw Fanzi and the captain flocking to take the prisoner away and take it to the Wumen court, and the ordinary people in the imperial city could not enter, But the movements of the Jinyi Weiqi school court when they were fighting their courtiers could be heard clearly outside the imperial city! When the people heard the voice, the magnificence, and the might, how could they not tremble and tremble?
Over the years, from the end of Wanli to the Apocalypse, it seems that the power of civil officials has become greater and greater, the factory guards are limited, the good people have less knowledge, and they really have no minions when the tiger has lost their teeth, in fact, a few decades ago, what rich businessman could not be afraid of being targeted by Dongchang or Jinyiwei? Once targeted by these people and without the protection of the powerful, bankruptcy is only a matter of moments.
Zhou Kui sneered in his heart, he despised these uninformed people in front of him, and said that these foreign merchants did not know, this can be said, these people will stare at him a few times at most, and they will not really dare to do it, but they will dare to criticize the king, it is really big or small, if it is taken by Jinyiwei, it is really better to live than to die.
However, when Zhou Kui said this, everyone knew what he meant, and many people pouted and laughed at the moment.
The letter of the king's hand is not authentic enough, to say that the pro-vassal nobles, including the eunuchs, are not a matter of stealing, the trust of the king is too indiscriminate, it is better to directly rob the pleasure of Ming, people also admit that you are a character, the prince, in the Ming Dynasty originally specialized in robbery, the robbery of the open fire is the patent of the princes, this practice of the king of the letter, is really unsightly.
Amid the chatter of the crowd, the door panel finally opened.
On the other side of the street, there were five or six carts slowly galloping in.
"And Yusheng's car?"
"That's right."
"Let the way go to them."
And Yusheng's convoy is recognized, in recent years, the logistics and money circulation in the north, thanks to the convoy of Yusheng, people not only recognize, but also have a heartfelt sense of intimacy with the large convoy in front of them, even if the things in front of them are burning eyebrows, most of the businessmen still take the initiative to get out of the way, call the carriage to come conveniently.
The streets were crowded, but under the escort of He Yusheng's elite soldiers, there was still a lot of empty circles around the cart.
Liu Ji, Li Guobin and others have already received the news and went to the door together to greet them.
The escorted dart line personnel stepped forward and arched their hands, and said: "I was ordered by the military secretary to receive 300,000 yuan of silver from Lizhuang and Zhangjiakou, and sent it to Beijing overnight. ”
"Three hundred thousand?" Liu Ji was ecstatic in his heart, and Li Guobin on the side hurriedly coughed.
Liu Ji suddenly woke up and knew that he couldn't be happy, so he only nodded and said, "That's almost enough." ”
Liu Ji asked in a low voice: "Zhending, Linqing, Dezhou, Jinan, Kaifeng and other places, can there be silver in the past?" ”
"There has been no run in those places for the time being," the escort also replied in a low voice: "However, the military department estimates that Kaifeng and Linqing will be the first wave, and they are now preparing to send them over." ”
Liu Ji nodded lightly and glanced at Li Guobin, and the two also agreed with the military secretary's analysis.
Linqing was a city with a weak sense of existence in later generations, just like Huai'an in northern Jiangsu in later generations, which lost its original status in the long river of history.
At this time, Linqing is the richest and most prosperous city in Shandong, the commercial status is far above the provincial capital Jinan, the most important reason is that Linqing is the transit hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal at this time, its commercial status is brought by the prosperous canal, and the ordinary state capital can not be compared with it at all, until the Qing Dynasty, Linqing is also a wealthy city that is important, until the abolition of Caoyun, the Grand Canal from the status of China's big blood vessels, give way to the railway, and along the railway has risen a number of new cities, that is another level of story.
With the commercial status of Linqing, it is also one of the earliest northern cities in Yusheng, with many business travelers, the news spreads very fast, Kaifeng is the central city of Henan, the news will also spread quickly, and the semicolon of these two places is larger, far from being comparable to ordinary cities.
If you want to quickly calm down the tide, several important central cities, the silver must be stored sufficiently, as long as the silver exchange is opened, the first few days will pass, and Yusheng's image will not be damaged, the rumors will be suspended, and the account bureau will continue to collect silver taels, which may not be much at the beginning, but it is much better than the most sinister situation.
Liu Ji and Li Guobin felt a little relieved, at least the capital and several nearby state capitals had enough silver, at that moment Liu Ji looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, please, we will try to take the silver as quickly as possible today, and tell you to take the silver before leaving." ”
The dart master who was escorting the silver was signaled and instructed his subordinates to remove the large box of silver from the cart.
One by one, the boxes were opened, and the silver light was shining, and it seemed that the whole street was shrouded in the brilliance of silver, which was really brilliant and moving.
"Yesterday, it was Gao Yang's Liu Dongzhu who was the first to rank?" A shopkeeper had already taken the book of records and began to call for people to exchange the money with the tickets.
Zhou Kui felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the people watching the excitement on the street also had a similar feeling to him. There is so much silver that people have no idea of anything out of the ordinary, but simply indulge in the luster of the beautiful metal of silver itself, and ignore its intrinsic monetary value.
The silver on the street is only a part, and the Yusheng store is still constantly moving silver out, and people outside can't see it, but when they see the whole box of silver moving out, it is expected that the number is not small.
At a cursory glance, Shi Congbin knew that the amount of silver was about 300,000, how many ingots of silver per box, and how many boxes per car, all of which were fixed, and two cars had been emptied in a short period of time, which could not deceive people.
In addition to the silver outside, there is also a steady stream of silver coming out of the inside, and it is obvious that the reserves are not small.
"Damn," yesterday the rough man of the Funing Hou Mansion received his share, more than 5,000 taels of silver, weighing hundreds of catties, he forgot to hire a carriage or a porter to come over, and he must not be able to move it by himself, and he was anxious to scold his mother on the street for a while: "Which dog said that Yusheng silver is not solid, his mother's nonsense, this can make Lao Tzu miserable." ”
Such a random scolding is also in line with everyone's thoughts, whether it is a businessman in the capital or a foreign businessman, he regrets it faintly in his heart at this time, and Yusheng's family business is clear to many people, but when it comes to his own net worth, of course, it is better to be careful and safe. As a result, now that he sees that he is a villain in vain, He Yusheng not only has silver, but also has a very sufficient amount.
"It seems that the reserves in the capital and other places are insufficient," a Baoding merchant pondered: "However, people can transfer silver from Datong, and with Yusheng's financial resources, how can they short-account this bit of silver." ”
"We really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Another said: "The account bureau actually charges very little, I think it is mainly the business of mules and horses that people earn, and they also want to protect their own goods and provide us with some convenience by the way, we are really villains in vain." ”
"But it's not, which bastard made up a rumor?"
"Be careful...... This matter suddenly broke out, and the palace was involved, and the water was very deep. ”
After being ordered such a sentence, many people looked abrupt.
He Yusheng's strength is too strong, and it is strong enough to qualify for the words "rich and rival the country". After that time, many people felt that the imperial court was wary and restricted by He Yusheng, fortunately, the princes above the court were not stupid, or they maintained considerable restraint, and Yusheng's business was not greatly affected, but it was not without calculation in the hearts of the merchants in the north, and Yusheng's jealousy was obvious, but everyone didn't know how long the court could endure before he started with Yusheng.
Now it seems that the imperial court did not act openly, but secretly made a stumbling block for He Yusheng, which is also too shady.
