Chapter 20 Funding
This news is said to have come from the yamen of the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, and the current governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, Ma Guozhu, does not seem to be very satisfied with it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info can be thought about carefully, but it is also normal.
Ma Guozhu is different from Chen Jin, who is also the governor, he is Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan, Jiangxi and Henan provinces after returning to his hometown after his father lost his father in the fourth year of Shunzhi, and can be regarded as a successor, not a subordinate like Chen Jin. In terms of qualifications, Ma Guozhu has been one of the most important Hanchen of the Manchu Qing Dynasty since the time of Huang Taiji, and he is not at all comparable to Chen Jin, a governor of the same level.
Assuming that Hong Chengchou, a latecomer whose qualifications are also inferior to him, really went through the four provinces, Ma Guozhu himself became a subordinate, and naturally he may not be able to satisfy him.
If this news is heard by others, they may be half-convinced, or even convinced, after all, Hong Chengchou had replaced Duoduo in charge of military affairs in Jiangnan before. However, according to Chen Wen's memory, Hong Chengchou should have been appointed as the governor of the five southwestern provinces after the battle of the fork in the road next year, and the pressure of the Qing army in the southwest battlefield is far greater than that on the southeast battlefield, how can he send Hong Chengchou, a big man, here. If Hong Chengchou really serves as the southeast economic strategy, then what changes will occur on the southwest battlefield, and who will serve as the southwest economic strategy for the purpose of Han to control the Han?
Not only was the coercion generated by Hong Chengchou's ability in the historical records, but the unknowability of the future also attracted too much attention from Chen Wen, and he didn't even think about other things after he got up to say goodbye. Even if it's just a rumor with no definite news.
After Chen Wen left, because he would continue to discuss tomorrow, Yao Zhizhuo soon went back to the guest room to rest, while Deng Qixi, as Qian Qianyi's protégé, stayed until the end.
"This Linhai Bo doesn't seem to believe that the Southwest Wang Division can enter the Yangtze River, at least the old man feels that he will not make an easy move before the Southwest Wang Division enters the Yangtze River."
"Huh?" Hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Deng Qixi was taken aback at first, and when he recalled today's exchange, it seemed that this was really the case. "Teacher, Lin Haibo is in a critical place, if there is no help from him, I am afraid that the possibility of success will be much lower."
"That's true."
Deng Qixi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "So, is it to invest resources in other places, such as Damu?" ”
"No!" Hearing this, Qian Qianyi immediately replied: "According to the reports that flowed out from the Tartars, if it weren't for this person, I am afraid that Pingjiangbo in Jiangxi would have been destroyed, and even Damu might not be able to relax and besiege Zhangzhou." Lin Haibo is in the key place, and the impact caused by it is by no means comparable to anyone else, even Damu may not be able to do it. ”
"This person is like a god in the use of soldiers, and what he has seen along the way is also strict, and it is not fortunate to have this achievement. Rather than investing resources in other people, it is not allowed to be used on this blade, which is more beneficial to the cause of Zhongxing Daming, and we must not spoil national affairs because of personal likes and dislikes. Besides, the old man believed that what he said was true, if the Southwest Wang Shi could really enter the Yangtze River, he would definitely be able to become an arm helper. Even if it doesn't work, with him in Zhejiang for a day, Damu can operate with peace of mind and no need to be distracted. ”
Seeing Deng Qixi's solemn nodding, Qian Qianyi then smiled and said: "The role and possible influence of this Linhai Bo in the southeast is too great, the old man is willing to be a lobbyist for him, and find some scholars with real talents and learning to come and persuade and help, so as not to go astray." ”
The next day, Chen Wen talked with Qian Qianyi and others again, and determined that Deng Qixi and Chen Wen's secret agent named Bai Jinghe would be the liaison between them. Messages are communicated to each other for better cooperation. In addition, Qian Qianyi also took out a dozen tickets, which came from the ticket numbers of several Hui merchants, adding up to 100,000 taels of silver.
This amount of money was made up by Qian Qianyi after deciding to come to see Chen Wen a few months ago by taking out the silver stored in the cellar and selling some of his family property, which was used to fund Chen Wen's recruitment of more troops. And thinking that Yao Zhizhuo, who still didn't know anything about the future, was still by his side, Chen Wen felt that he had robbed him of the part he had recruited to attack Chongming, which was quite embarrassing.
But when I think of Han Jing, who competed with Qian Qianyi for the top prize back then, his father is just a magistrate, and it is said that he is still very honest. But the incorruptible magistrate was able to take out 40,000 taels of silver to ask for a champion for his son, and this is not counting the test and a series of expenses before, Chen Wen suddenly had a new understanding of the level of local tyrants in the official eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty. Especially when it was discovered that he was actually a poor ghost after two years of struggle, he immediately took the money with peace of mind.
In the past two years, he can't count the amount of silver that Chen Wen has handled, and even an approximate figure has to find Sun Yu, Gu Shouli, Qi Xiufeng and Zhou Jingting, who know more about his expenses, to help calculate, so he has always had no psychological burden on fighting local tyrants.
However, he didn't plan to make a one-shot deal in this matter, so Chen Wen talked to Qian Qianyi about borrowing, in order to better tie this local tyrant to his chariot.
Qian Qianyi seems to be very interested in borrowing, but based on the experience accumulated by Chen Wen in sales, it seems that he is more interested in the idea than the interest on the loan. Sure enough, after a while, Qian Tuhao said that he would let Deng Qixi come to Jinhua again in a few months, and at the same time bring another 20,000 taels of silver to buy this Laoshizi's big loan, and the 100,000 taels were still funded.
Then, there is no then.
Twenty thousand taels of silver is indeed a rare amount of money, at least no one has ever bought so many large loans for expropriation before, not even a quarter of them. But I don't know why, Chen Sales, who had just made a big deal, had a certain frustration that his business was damaged, and he was really greedy when he thought about it.
Early on the morning of the third day of Chen Wen's meeting with Qian Qianyi, the latter set off for his hometown. Qian Qianyi left an agreement of 100,000 taels of silver and 20,000 taels of loans, as well as the way to communicate and exchange information with each other. On the other hand, Chen Wen signed his name on the strategy of "three games". All in all, both sides feel that they have earned it, and that they have made a lot of money.
Such a win-win deal, Chen Wen can't wait to do it a few more times, but there are not so many local tyrants in this world who are as solid as Qian Qianyi, so he suddenly has a kind of loneliness that has no world-shattering magic skills but nowhere to perform.
After Qian Qianyi left, Chen Wen originally planned to return directly to the front line in Quzhou, although the flying pigeon would report the progress of the project and the timely military situation every day, and the Qing army did not have enough strength to relieve the siege of Quzhou, but as the commander-in-chief, it was the right way to always sit in the army. But before he could set off, the man sent to contact Li Yu brought back the news, saying that Li Yu had rushed back to Lanxi's hometown and planned to hand over the manuscript to him in person when he met Chen Wen.
To be precise, it should be the same as Chen Wen's pen name, the Confucian scholar "Lu Xun" whose expression is Shuren. (To be continued.) )
