Three days have passed since the Extraordinary Assembly. The issuance of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Lei's 'three major project construction bonds' was successfully supported by the Fuxing Yamen. The two sides agreed that the Fuxing Yamen would guarantee the second and third tranches of bonds issued by Qin Lei with a total of 20 million taels of silver. In consideration, Qin Lei would pay five percent of the face value of the Fuxing Ya tickets, that is, one million taels of silver, as compensation.
Both sides were happy...... At least when all goes well.
On the second day of the General Assembly, the Zhuo family was auctioned for the right to speak. It was still a competitive bidding method, and the final price was 55,000 taels per share. You must know that the price when it was purchased a year ago was only 17,500 taels, in other words, the price of the revival of the yamen's right to speak has skyrocketed by three times.
After the incident of Wen Mingli's attempt to control the revival of the yamen. The Assembly unanimously adopted a supplementary resolution that if there is a deliberate transfer of the right to speak, it must notify the Council and all proceedings thirty days in advance. And within 60 days, the House of Representatives will have the priority to purchase the right to speak that it is ready to transfer, and only if there is no purchase within 60 days, it can be transferred to outsiders.
It should be said that the economic law has its universal applicability, and the mature economic organization model also has its superiority over the times. As the Southern councilors became familiar with the rules and regulations of the assembly, the more they realized the beauty of it. This is a form of organization that can truly eliminate contradictions, unify understanding, and form a joint force between all parties and factions.
The confidence of the southern nobles also increased, and the worship of the architect of all this, His Royal Highness the young King of Longwei County, was also unrelenting.
So within a day, the Zhuo family's transferred power was snatched away. It is worth noting that all the 400 rights to speak were divided among the small and medium-sized councils, and the four families did not get even the slightest bit.
Under Qin Lei's meaningful restraint, the four major families, who had just eaten a large number of construction bonds, temporarily felt full, and no longer had the appetite to eat the right to speak.
In fact, even if they are still hungry, they have no ability to eat: the Xu family has to borrow 3 million to buy the bonds for 10 years, totaling 5 million, and now the whole family has to tighten their belts to survive, so naturally they have no idea; And after the Qiao family spit out another two million taels, they also completely stopped cooking, although they can still maintain a ** life, but if they want to come up with a lot of silver, they are really powerless.
What's more, they were really satisfied. Old man Qiao can pat his chest and say, "My Qiao family's children and grandchildren are worry-free!" ”
As for the Xu family, although they are rich, even if they have been bleeding continuously since the seventeenth year of Zhaowu, they are still rich, but Xu Tancheng is an extremely shrewd figure, how can he not understand the intentions of the prince, so he naturally died down and never came out.
And although the Zhuo family sold it for a good price, they originally sold the right to speak......
It is worth mentioning that although the Zhuo family received a ransom money equivalent to 20 million silver, Zhuo Bingchen and Zhuo Wenzheng did not have much joy. They knew that they had too much power to sell this time, and the councilors also had to buy the prince's bonds, so the consideration they could give...... Undoubtedly on the low side.
Don't forget, the general psychological price of the councillors is between 70,000 and 80,000 taels. If anyone had taken out a single copy earlier, it would not be impossible to sell it for 100,000 taels. But under various circumstances. The Zhuo family can only accept the result of the cheap sale.
It's still a lot of money, isn't it? After all, no one knows what the future will look like, after all, it is money in a cloth bag.
A happy deal. If you want to say that the only one who can't cry or laugh, it is Xu Chang's old man. The sum of 3 million was borrowed from Datong Bank with all his family property as collateral, and the interest happened to be 10%......
This whole plan, which is full of whimsical ideas and interlocking to the seamless, is all from Qin Lei's hands. When he conceived the idea of reviving the Yamen, he had already laid enough foreshadowing for today's big business. And at the time...... Le Buyi is still playing a flute on the mountain.
Although he didn't know how many brain cells were murdered, he felt that everything was worth it when the situation was certain today. From now on, the wealth of the world will be gathered into their own hands in this unprecedented way. He will also become the first careerist in history to amass wealth instead of occupying and plundering vast lands.
And more importantly, in this way, he firmly tied the south to his chariot, and no longer had to worry about their betrayal. And he believes that as time goes by, there will be more and more wealthy people from other provinces and even foreign countries who willingly join their chariots.
When the time comes, they will either go to glory together, or they will be reduced to ashes together. Can the upper and lower be different from the evil desires?
So, in essence, Qin Lei is an out-and-out hooligan. As the saying goes, hooligans are cultured and are not afraid to go all over the world.
In Qin Lei's memory, Li Shanchang will say in the future: "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!" What this means is that the struggle for supremacy is not a polo game where friendship comes first. It's not about who wins more, it's about who lives longer, and who can have the last laugh to be the happiest.
And to live to the end, it is necessary to make a lot of money in a muffled voice, for Qin Lei, his big fortune is the four words 'soldiers are good enough food'! Now that the food is sufficient, it is only necessary to train an elite division that can attack and defend well.
Therefore, Qin Lei at this moment is undoubtedly full of ambition, he has to step up the follow-up matters of foreign bonds, as well as the arrangement of the two provinces and 28 prefectures to train the new army, and then rush back to Jingshan City to continue to train his Jingshan army.
After so much tempering of right and wrong, he has already grown into a strong-willed, quick-thinking, forward-looking, and ambitious leader.
As the saying goes: the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps!
But if things in the world are as they should be...... Then what do you need the yamen and the army to do? So unsatisfactory is inevitable.
On May 27, the eighteenth year of Zhaowu, Qin Lei finally ended his arrangement in the south. Just when he was eager to grow his wings and fly back to Jingshan City, a message from the Nanchu Espionage Bureau completely disrupted his plan.
To put it simply, it is six words: 'The prince has been detained. ’
To put it more complicated, it is because the envoy of Eastern Qi also arrived in Shenjing City, and the Qin-Chu negotiations broke down. Since the negotiations broke down, the state of Chu was not polite, and simply left the prince as a guest and did not let him go back to the state of Qin.
In fact, he didn't have any ill feelings about the hospitality of Chu State and the fact that he kept the second child. But the consequences of this incident are too serious:
You know, a tree lives a skin, and a person lives a face. The crown prince of his own country has been detained, which makes the Great Qin State, which is known as the number one in the world, how can he not be furious? The reason why it is still calm now is because Qin Lei's espionage work is already very powerful, at least he got this piece of information that is enough to change the situation before the big man in the DPRK and China.
It is foreseeable that within a month, Qi Chu and his two sides will start a new round of confrontation. But Qin Lei can be sure that the two sides are just confronting each other. After all, the biggest enemy that threatened the Qin State was the Eastern Qi, which bordered it for thousands of miles and had a million armor, not the Chu State in the south.
If you have a brain fever and attack regardless of priority, most of you will be attacked by the enemy on your back and in a dilemma, and then it will be called really ugly.
Judging by Qin Lei, Emperor Zhaowu and Taiwei Li will not start a war with Southern Chu, but they can't ignore the detained prince.
"Well, it's very likely that Lao Tzu is this negotiator." Qin Lei finally concluded. He knew too much about Emperor Zhaowu's temper, as long as the old man had a problem that was not easy to solve, he would throw it to himself as soon as possible, and he had never been an exception in the past two years.
Now that the situation has been judged, the original plan can only be adjusted. He canceled his trip to the north and stayed in Xiangyang City honestly, waiting for Emperor Zhaowu to send a job. He is a professional soldier at heart, never afraid of challenges, and never shies away from difficulties. After a brief thought, he decided to obey the command he was about to receive and complete it.
In three days, the training outline of the next stage of the Jingshan Army was clearly explained one by one, compiled into a book, and ordered people to use harrier eagles to pass it on to the officers of the Jingshan battalion. Now, he can only trust them, after all, national affairs are important.
While waiting for the edict, he once again met with the bus dealer of the Xiangyang prefect, and the investigation has proved that there was no corruption and misappropriation in the Xiangyang Mansion, and the stroke prefect is indeed innocent. But when it came to the problem of group training, he was indeed too weak and conniving, and he had heard of the large-scale corruption in the neighboring prefectures and counties, but he did not report it to Qin Lei.
So Qin Lei first sincerely apologized to him, and then criticized him for his 'more things are better than less things', and almost said in a fierce voice: "Don't think that it's enough to just serve you well." You must know that under the nest, there are no eggs? ”
The bus dealer said with shame on his face: "My subordinates know." ”
Qin Lei's complexion softened at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't feel wronged in your heart, the depth of love will be responsible, the lonely king has expectations for you." "I felt that this was too unintentional, so I swallowed back the second half of the sentence 'I will use you greatly in the future'.
But the bus dealer still ate his set very much, and said slightly excitedly when he heard this: "Humble... Humble position, will not disappoint the prince again. ”
Qin Lei nodded approvingly: "You have to stiffen your chest, so that you can support the backbone of the south!" He said with a smile and said: "From now on, the south will be divided into two worlds: the government and the revival yamen." The government is responsible for managing government affairs, and the Fuxing Yamen oversees its implementation. It may make you feel a little awkward, but this is the only way to achieve long-term peace and stability. ”
The bus merchant bowed down and said, "Obey the arrangement of the prince." "Actually, it's Qin Lei who is too worried, the officials of this era were originally controlled by the big families, and now they can have the opportunity to share the world with them, which is really a great thing, where can it be uncomfortable.
During the waiting days, Qin Lei was also extremely busy, he had to inspect the neighboring state capitals during the day, and at night he had to learn about and listen to the report of the spy bureau on Nanchu, so as to strive for a deeper understanding of the top and bottom and all aspects of the country. It's a shame to say that all his attention is on Qi State, and he knows almost nothing about Chu State except for those things on the surface.
So you have to be fully prepared.
After another six days, Qin Lei received information from Jingli. Emperor Zhaowu and Taiwei Li were as he expected, and they just ordered the Zhennan Army to be on alert and strengthen patrols on the river. But there was not the slightest intention of ordering the forbidden army to go south.
Of course, the credentials that strongly condemned the rogue behavior of Southern Chu and demanded that the crown prince leave the country had also been expedited to the state of Chu for 800 miles, but it is unknown how much of a role it could play.
Now the fool also knows that the Qin State does not plan to start a war with Southern Chu...... If the Zhennan army could deal with the martyrs on the other side of the river, the old marshal who was full of thoughts about crossing the river would have already crossed the Yangtze River and liberated the whole Chu State, so why would he borrow wine all day long to drown his sorrows.
At the same time, news also came from Southern Chu that Emperor Jingtai put forward conditions asking Western Qin to cede the thirteen prefectures south of Xiangyang Mansion in exchange for the life of the crown prince.
This condition is too outrageous, unless the crown prince is Emperor Zhaowu's father, he doesn't even need to think about it. But Nan Chu didn't naively think that Emperor Zhaowu would agree to this absurd request for a son, they were just asking for a sky-high price, waiting for Daqin to sit on the ground and pay back......
After another six days, Harrier Eagle brought the latest news that His Majesty the Emperor had sent a large delegation of envoys south day and night in order to resolve the incident through peaceful consultations. It is not surprising that the envoy this time is His Royal Highness the wise and martial King of Longwei County.
This is also a last resort, and it should have been done by the ministers. However, under Wen Yanbo's suppression for more than ten years, apart from him, there were no other civil servants with high international reputations in the imperial court. Now even he has gone to the first emperor to report, and the newly released five bachelors are extremely fresh, and it is estimated that no one will buy it. For a time, no one in the court was competent, and as a last resort, Emperor Zhaowu had no choice but to hit his son with his ...... After all, he is a prince, and his status can barely hold up the scene.
Wait, wait, wait, almost when looking through the autumn water, the delegation that came in a hurry finally arrived in Xiangyang and joined Qin Lei, the envoy. When Wang Anting, a scholar of the Xianzheng Palace, and Zhou Baojun, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, appeared in front of him, the time had reached the end of June.
In this long wait of more than a month, Qin Lei's mood gradually changed from burning to not being impatient. Because he realized that he was almost missing the military exercise in the autumn...... You must know that this is an envoy, not an expedition, it is necessary to pay attention to international etiquette, how many miles to walk every day, and where to rest, are all particular.
Especially after arriving in the state of Chu, whoever owns the territory is in charge. If you are dragged on the road for two or three months, then you have to admit it honestly, otherwise what else can you do?
According to Qin Lei's estimate, it would be good to be able to reach Nanchu in August. And the crown prince is now a strange commodity to live in, and it is impossible for Nanchu to use him as a baton, as soon as the people of Qin arrive, they will hand it over. I don't know when the mushroom will be a head.
Therefore, he can be sure that unless the state of Chu clicks the crown prince now, the September military exercise is completely hopeless.
In other words, all his beautiful plans have come to naught, and his judgment of the future has become chaotic for the first time.
"Let's take a step and take a look!" When Shi Dare asked him about his countermeasures, Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "How can everything be as good as you want?" After speaking, he wrote a letter to the three commanders of the Jingshan battalion, instructing them to train the team and prepare to participate in the military exercise on their own:
‘…… If Gu really does not return, Wen Yu will lead the three armies, assisted by Brother Huangfu and Brother Shen Qing, and hope that the three of them will work together to create good results. Qin Lei was ashamed. ’
On June 30, the 18th year of Zhaowu, Qin Lei led the Qin envoy group from Xiangyang to the river. He will first meet with Marshal Bosheng Saiyang, and cross the river under the escort of the Zhennan Army to redeem the detained Prince of Great Qin.
