Chapter 82: Fundraising Madness
A few days ago, Zhang Wang, who had just "poured out his family's financial report", was murdered by Sikong Zhang Ji, and everyone in Luoyang City was known in a few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fire in the manor outside the city, covering the sky and the sun, the sound of fighting, was deafening, and those who lived nearby were not blind and deaf, so it was difficult to pretend that they didn't know about it.
Countless officials and gentry who had been persecuted by Zhang Ji realized that this was a good opportunity to severely damage Zhang Ji's reputation, and they all took action spontaneously.
A few bigwigs who want to pull Zhang Ji off the horse so that he can replace him are also secretly fueling the troubles.
On the one hand, Zhang Forget wrote the detailed inside story of this matter into a story of ups and downs, and ordered the king to spread it around the wall over the eaves, and on the other hand, it was strictly forbidden for anyone in Zhang's house to go out to discuss the matter.
The imperial court tried its best to cover up this matter, and the Luoyang Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, and the Chengmen Lieutenants all went out to arrest many people who were discussing the matter, but in the end, they still couldn't stop the matter from spreading more and more widely.
And those who were caught spreading this matter had different backgrounds, except for the three dukes, Jiuqing and civil and military officials were involved. The weirdest thing is that none of them came from Shi Zhang's home.
Luoyang Mansion Zhou Yi was the first to withdraw from the turmoil and no longer asked about this matter. The water in this is too deep and too mixed, and it is not something that a small Luoyang Ling can mix.
After a few days of investigation, Yang Ci of the Taiwei Mansion also let go of all the people he caught, pretending that the incident had never happened.
As the "Jinyi Guard" of the Han Dynasty, the captain of the city gate found that the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, and he also shifted his energy to more meaningful things.
Zhang Ji, one of the three princes, brazenly murdered officials but was not severely punished, which put everyone in danger for civil and military officials.
Officials below the third prince were sad because of this incident, and they were worried that bad luck would fall on them one day, so they supported Zhang Forget one-sidedly.
Zhang Wang, the regular servant, forgot to accept Zhang Ji's five million money, and spoke for him frequently at first, but later found that the limelight was wrong, so he stopped talking in time.
Emperor Liu Hong also received five million money from Zhang Ji, so it was not good not to speak for him, but if he defended him too much, he would obviously lose people's hearts.
After thinking about it, Liu Hong adopted the suggestion of Zhang Rang, the regular attendant of the Zhongchang service, deprived Zhang Ji of his title, let him think about it behind closed doors for three months, and at the same time compensated Zhang Forget 3 million yuan to suppress the shock.
This punishment made Sikong Zhang Ji lose face, but it did not make him break his muscles and bones.
Zhang Ji was so angry that he thundered in his house, but he had to act according to his words, and in the onlookers and laughter of the people of Luoyang, he sent Zhang Forget three million yuan for mental damages.
In order to appease Zhang Wang, so as not to chill the hearts of the people in the world, Liu Hong promoted Zhang Forget to the first level, from the examination order of the fighting food official to the examination order of 300 stone Cheng. In addition, he also sent an inner servant to send the sign of "Ordered to Supervise" that he had always wanted, allowing him to make a fortune without harming the interests of the imperial court.
Zhang Wang almost died, so he exchanged for such a bunch of things that he deserved, and he was greatly annoyed, and he made up his mind to accelerate the pace of overthrowing the Han Dynasty.
He publicly offered the magic weapon of "guarding 3,000 monthly money, and his family members ate and lived and studied", and recruited nursing homes with superb martial arts and strong bodies.
The emperor knew that he was frightened by this escape from death, and sent an attendant to appease him, acquiescing to the fact that the Zhang Mansion could recruit the nursing home, but the total number of family members, maids, and family members in the Zhang Mansion in Luoyang was not allowed to exceed 500.
Zhang Wangming led the order, secretly sent someone to buy 3,000 acres of saline-alkali land, and continued to recruit nurses in the name of recruiting tenants.
Because these "tenants" lived in Waiguo City, and lived in a newly built manor on saline land, the emperor turned a blind eye to the matter.
Zhang Forget received twenty fierce martial artists from Wang Yue's martial arts hall, and used them as recruiting officers, and recruited 300 nurses in Luoyang City who were simple in temperament, young and strong, and dragged down by their families.
In order to give them a place to live, Zhang Wang, on the 3,000 acres of saline-alkali land he bought in the new bought, allocated 300 acres of land and built a large manor for them.
As a result, the three million dollars in compensation for Zhang Ji were quickly spent.
The 300 nursing homes plus their families, nearly 2,000 people, need to pay 900,000 yuan a month, and the family members have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars every month for food, shelter and study. In addition, it is necessary to build a house for them and prepare various necessities for life, which is another massive expenditure.
The dignitaries and nobles of Luoyang City were all shocked, and they sat in a row to watch Zhang Wang's death, wondering how he could maintain such a huge amount of money every month after he had just donated all his family property.
Under the gaze of countless ill-intentioned eyes, Zhang Wang's erection of a bulletin board in front of his house posted a fundraising announcement.
"From now until the end of October, within one month, those who are willing to send money to Zhang's house in an emergency can get several times the return. Those who receive money after March can get double the capital back. After half a year, those who receive money can get five times the capital back. After one year, those who receive the money can get 12 times the capital back. There is no basis for what is said, and it is based on it. ”
As soon as this fundraising announcement came out, the entire Luoyang City was dumbfounded.
Oh my God, is this real?
You can double the capital in three months, and after a year, you can get 12 times the capital? This is simply the most arrogant loan shark in history.
However, this usury is not lent to himself, but to others, so that there is no risk to his mother. This is the history of the examination order of Qinfeng, the official of the imperial court with a rank of 300 stones, and was also given the sign of "supervised by order".
What, you say he may not be able to repay the money he borrowed? Can be pulled down, the white pottery that is popular in Luoyang City is produced by his family. The method of making vinegar that the entire Huayin people have learned is what he gave free of charge. In the tea shop restaurant in Luoyang City, in order to buy ice from his house, they can fight in front of his house every day...... Such a wealthy boy must have the ability to repay the money if he has the courage to borrow money.
That being said, but except for some small households who have seen money and sent their few savings, the dignitaries and nobles are all waiting and watching.
The first person to send a large amount of copper coins was Yang Xiu, the grandson of Taiwei Yang Ci.
Yang Xiu walked in front of the convoy proudly and sent three million dollars to Zhang Zhai for emergency relief. The three million were not given in the name of Taiwei Yang Ci, but belonged to Yang Xiu's private property.
Yang Xiu knelt in front of Yang Ci, begging bitterly, and overdrew his pocket money for a hundred years to save enough of the three million money. As for whether he will live for a hundred years, who will care? accidentally died early, can the descendants dig him out of the grave for a little money?
Immediately after Yang Xiu, Liu Tao, the servant of the imperial history, sent 100,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan is a small amount for others, but for Liu Tao, who has always been an honest official, it is half of his family's wealth. And Liu Tao has an excellent reputation among scholars, and his attention has invisibly increased Zhang Wang's fame.
After Liu Tao, Liang Yi sent 100,000 yuan, and the sweet and sour carp and ginger milk he got from Zhang Wang, which promoted him to a higher level and became the chief of the palace. He believed that Zhang Forget had other delicacies, so he invested in advance to enhance the relationship.
After Liang Yi, the sword master Wang Yue sent 100,000 yuan, as a righteous brother, he must not be left behind in helping Zhang Wang.
After Wang Yue, Cao Cao, the speaker of the council, sent a million dollars. Cao Cao recruited the Dong brothers and felt guilty about Zhang Wang, and the million money was not so much an investment as an apology.
After Cao Cao, Henan Yin Hejin sent 10 million money, and the nouveau riche shook the entire Luoyang City.
With these bigwigs and little guys opening the way, the princes and nobles of Luoyang City, the gentry of the wealthy families, and the businessmen and ordinary people all flocked to it, and they were crazy to send money to Zhang Wang's house.
In just over ten days, Zhang Forget raised a total of 80 million yuan.
After Emperor Liu Hong heard about this in the Jinluan Treasure Palace, the wine glass fell directly to the ground, and one mouth was open enough to directly stuff two duck eggs into it.
How can money still be made like this? Can you still collect money like this? Lao Tzu only sold for 20 million for one county taishou, and you made money selling four county taishou in just a few days?
Just when he was full of unwillingness and thinking about how to scavenge a sum of money in Zhang Wang's hands, Zhang Wang's financial report Jun En once again made a big fanfare and sent him 10 million money.
Liu Hong smiled when he received the money, and immediately dispelled the idea of eating black and black. As the emperor, everyone in the world looks at it, and the appearance of eating can't be too ugly.
The people in Luoyang were all elated, but the people close to Zhang Forget were all dumbfounded.
80 million money, return it in a year, that is 800 million money......
Oh my God, still don't let people live? The annual financial revenue of the Han Dynasty is only 8 billion, how can Zhang forget how can he earn one-tenth of the national fiscal revenue in a year?
On the one hand, he sent the martial artist of Wang Yue Martial Arts Hall to lead three hundred nursing homes to practice day and night, and at the same time wrote the method of boiling alkali in saline-alkali land, so that the newly recruited family members of the nursing home were divided into three shifts and worked day and night in the saline-alkali land.
At the same time, Zhang Mane led fifty Yellow Turban soldiers to Luoyang to buy grease and animal offal.
Buying oil, Luoyang people can understand, this thing has a lot of uses, the most common is to cook vegetables and light lamps.
But what the hell is buying animal offal?
Pig-like offal is an extremely filthy thing, and poor people disdain it, and they are usually fed to dogs. What are you doing by truckload to your home?
Not to mention the people of Luoyang, even the people around Zhang Forget can't figure it out.
Zhang Forget did not explain to them, and under the cover of buying fat and animal offal, he hoarded a large amount of lime, stone gall, sulfur and saltpeter to prepare for the upcoming way of making money.
In addition to being busy, he did not forget to dictate the "Compendium of Hundred Herbs" to Chun Yuyi, and dictate the "Book of the Later Han" to Zhang Hong.
"Compendium of Herbs" and "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the serialization method he used, one update a day, the update time is irregular, and the update is not fixed, so that the two of them are upset and irritable when they wait for the update every day, and they can't wait to break his legs, let him endorse honestly, and do nothing else.
As the days passed, when truckloads of caustic soda and truckloads of grease were delivered to Zhang's house, Zhang Wang, who had recruited ten servants and ten maids in Huayin, gathered them together and began to teach them new crafts.
