Chapter 171: The Chicken Hasn't Eaten Eggs Yet

has been sitting here for a long time, Chongzhen's hand holding the tea bowl is still trembling, while Wang Chengen's whole body is trembling, although the rest of the big eunuchs are also excited, but this matter still has little to do with them, so naturally there is no need to tremble, but it is still necessary to express excitement, so they work together to tremble.

"Love, love, love, that is to say, the share capital of 1.5 million taels that we have valued at the real estate of the post stations in various places can already be sold for 2.2 million taels of silver in just a few hours? It's too easy, isn't it? ”

Lu Hanqiang clasped his hands and nodded with a smile: "Theoretically, that's the case." ”

"Then can we sell a little bit now and raise a sum of money to send to Inspector Yuan? Now he has a serious arrears of pay there, and several fortified sergeants have mutinied, making the soldiers have no heart to fight, and everyone is in danger, so he just took out the money to appease him. Wang Chengen's blood-red eyes looked at Lu Hanqiang with anticipation.

In fact, what he said about the salary mutiny, in fact, is much more serious than what he said, Yuan Chonghuan supervised the northeast, and encountered an eventful autumn, Liaodong governor Bi Zisu asked the household department for the soldiers in Sichuan and Gansu who were willing to defend the army for four months, but the household department refused to issue it, and the household department thought that there was an example of the last platform calling Chongzhen to fill Yuan Chonghuan's military salary of 300,000 yuan, as long as everyone made a fuss, then the silver could still come out of the internal fund, but now the internal money is also empty. So the money was lost in the ramp, as a result, the Sichuan and Gansu soldiers blocked in front of the governor's yamen mutinied, and the other thirteen battalions also made a fuss, when the rebels caught Bi Zisu and the general soldier Zhu Mei was tortured, fortunately, Guo Guangxin arrived in the army, and did everything possible to get 20,000 silver, and used the method of playing white strips, and borrowed 50,000 silver in Shangjiali, which was considered to temporarily quell the mutiny, and did not let Huang Taiji take advantage of the loophole, but Lao Bi felt that he was not doing well, sorry for the soldier emperor, just after the letter to ask for guilt, went to the center left guard, Hanged himself on a rope.

At this time, Chongzhen looked at it, even so, those household officials were still playing the ball without paying money, and Yuan Chonghuan jumped out at this time to make excuses for his big words of five years of recovering Liao, how could Chongzhen let him retreat? At the same time, when I was on the platform, I said that as long as Liaodong was in arrears, I would support it, so I wanted to take out another sum of money from the treasury to make up for the arrears.

The holy decree came to Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen was distressed at that time, and he didn't say that he wasn't distressed, the internal money he was in charge of was only in and out, and the pile was getting smaller and smaller, so how could he not be anxious.

Today, seeing Lu Hanqiang for a while, he let him turn 50,000 silver into 75,000, which made him see the way of money, so he had this eager request.

Lu Hanqiang looked at Wang Chengen with a smile, and he had been looking at him with hair all over his body before he suddenly said seriously: "Killing chickens and taking eggs is originally a way to do it, and you, a well-informed minister, even have to kill chickens before they have grown up, and the current chickens are not even chicken chicks, or eggs, especially, this egg is still borrowed by us." Lu Hanqiang unceremoniously and directly rejected Wang Chengen's crooked brain, and then looked at the embarrassed internal minister: "The military salary should be paid by the household department, and it should be paid by him, that is a state affair, the commercial house I operate is the wealth of the royal family, this is a private matter, do state affairs have to be done privately, then the household department, what do you want this country to do?" ”

There is no distinction between the family and the country, this is the concept of that era, but now Lu Hanqiang cannot be accommodating.

"If the general office of Wang now cashes out the shares in the hands of the royal family, don't say that when you trade tomorrow, you take out hundreds of thousands of shares to cash out, that is, you take out one or two shares, then the popularity we have just gathered will collapse immediately, not to mention the immediate collapse of the firm, and then the shareholders will lose hope, and they will also follow the crazy selling of stocks, and at that time, the stocks of one or two silver shares, you are ready to be waste paper."

Wang Chengen was frightened into a cold sweat at the time of Lu Hanqiang's description.

Seeing that Wang Chengen was silent, Lu Hanqiang gave a deep salute to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the border troubles are troubles, but as long as you strictly urge the household department to do it, it can also be alleviated, but once the hearts of the post soldiers who have just gathered together and the official gentry who have been tied to us collapse, it will be difficult for us to start, and then the internal troubles will occur, at that time, there will be Tartars on the outside, and there will be overwhelming rogues on the inside, and the country will have to fight on two sides, three sides, or even more sides, and the Ming Dynasty will die." ”

This kind of scene was told to Lu Hanqiang when he analyzed more than 100,000 laid-off post soldiers, especially when he heard the suffering of those post men from all over the world at today's meeting, and now called the general manager, he had a deeper understanding that this situation can indeed happen, so at this time, what Lu Hanqiang said, the terrible consequences of the upcoming Ming Dynasty battles, cold sweat broke out on his back.

In fact, Lu Hanqiang only analyzed the current war in the Ming Dynasty, and did not involve the rebellion in the south, which had already cost half of the Tusi rebellion in the southwest, so that the Ming Dynasty had to invest millions of taels of silver every year, which was also a battlefield.

"But," Chongzhen has been for a long time, but he can't say his hardships, and he is embarrassed to say his hardships, he is the day of the Ming Dynasty, he should have the ability to bear all this, and tell his suffering to others, which is definitely not what the young Chongzhen can do.

"Your Majesty." Lu Hanqiang screamed softly, his voice was full of understanding and sympathy, and this sound almost made Chongzhen cry.

"Your Majesty, please bear with me a little longer-" Lu Hanqiang thought about it again and gritted his teeth: "As long as you give the minister a quarter and three months, and wait for the minister to collect the contracting fees for remote places and the profits from Tongqu Dayi, I can provide you with 200,000 yuan no matter what." Look at the frustrated Wang Chengen and Chongzhen: "I will provide the emperor with the first 500,000 silver no matter what, as long as we persist in this difficult time, everything will be revitalized, and at that time, our good days can really come." ”

Hearing Lu Hanqiang's assurance, Chongzhen also knew that this was a bit embarrassing for Lu Hanqiang, so he whispered embarrassedly: "But it's hard work for Lu Hanqiang." ”

This companion reading is equal to classmates, and whether it is in this world or that world, in everyone's hearts, the title of classmate is definitely the most intimate and trusting, and this title can't help but make Lu Hanqiang's eyes red.

Chongzhen saw the tears that suddenly welled up in Lu Hanqiang's eyes, although he tried his best to pretend to be strong, but this kind of performance did make Chongzhen's heart soften.

At this time, Wang Shilang's bookworm nature was overflowing, and he turned out behind Lu Hanqiang, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chongzhen, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister has never understood the emperor's hardships, but now that he knows, the minister has nothing to repay, and the minister is willing to sell the 10,000 shares in the hands of the minister tomorrow, not much money, and I also hope to save the emperor." After that, he fell to the ground and whimpered.

Lu Hanqiang almost kicked this guy who didn't know the accident to death.

didn't care about anything else, Lu Han scolded him sharply: "What are you showing at this time, do you know, as soon as your words come out, what do you let those officials who invest in commercial houses do?" You know how hard it is for people to do it? Everyone supports the firm, but if the emperor has a temporary difficulty, he will throw all the shares, that is not as I just said, the shares of the firm are immediately waste paper, and the firm will collapse immediately, and all this is not the heart of the people in Donglin who have long wanted to see the joke of our downfall? Are you helping the emperor or pit the emperor? At this time, Lu Hanqiang was really anxious, this loyal monarch's thinking really wanted to kill people.
