Chapter 121: One out of ten
Chapter 121 is drawn out of ten
The obedient official hurriedly glared at him, stinky boy, how could he mutter about Xiaoqian's worth. And the obedient official's side of Chiyo looked at the style of this Ming general, and couldn't help but admire the skill, you must know that she is also a six-year-old person who was a family governor, this kind of means of buying people's hearts has also been learned since childhood, but he feels that he is not as light as General Zhong, this kind of means, presumably my father may not be able to do it so easily
If she changes to another woman, she may not be afraid, but firstly, she has a more straightforward temperament, and secondly, she has been bought by a small plate of sugar-soaked fruits from the obedient official, since she has made up her mind to follow the obedient official in the future, she will naturally not guard against her future son's father in this regard.
And among the spectators, such as Li Yufu, including Ono Zhenyuki and Tachibana Genga, as well as the young ten-o'clock Sun Uemon, secretly admired the methods of this General Zhong.
Zhongli smiled at this time, "Okay, everyone, let's go back to the village to eat, our stomach is really hungry." ”
Everyone was ready to go back to the city to continue to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the people of the Yan family were all drunk and stopped in the house and were not allowed to come out, and finally Yan Dazhang and the old butler couldn't help it, so that they could say evil, only then came out, saw the good official, first happy, Yan Dazhang grabbed a few steps over, "Virtuous nephew, Fang Cai is so chaotic, you are fine"
"The little nephew has seen Uncle Yan." The well-behaved official was polite, bowed down and promised to the ground, he still admired this Mr. Dazhang, "There was some turmoil on Fangcai Island, I didn't frighten Uncle Yan."
Looking at his appearance, ** couldn't help sighing in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said that it was okay, the generals behind Zhongli next to him were a little impatient, and said Xiao Mao, let's go back to the hall to eat soon, and my stomach is also hungry.
In front of Yan Dazhang, the obedient official always has to ask, this acquaintance meets, if you don't ask if people have eaten, this is too rude, Yan Dazhang nodded again and again, greeted him with two words about eating, and asked him to just go by himself, saying that the old man is okay.
The obedient official saluted him and left, surrounded by Princess Chiyo in gorgeous small sleeves and Zhongli in armor, followed by the tall Fuso Ji military general Hatano Rina and the big head who never left an inch, and countless Fuso samurai behind him hugged him tightly, plus the generals of the Eight Guards took a bite of a small Maocai, it was really full of momentum.
Seeing him leave, there were the personal soldiers under the Eight Guards military generals who politely invited the owner of the Yan ship and the old housekeeper back to the room, and their attitudes were more polite than just now, but they still didn't take them seriously, and these personal soldiers also brightened their hearts, if you really want to be close to Xiao Maocai, why didn't you see Xiao Maocai and invite you to eat together.
The subordinates also have the wisdom of their subordinates, whether they are close or not, they can see it clearly from eating, so they don't really take them seriously because the obedient official saluted the head of the Yan family and called them uncle.
Of course, Yan Dazhang is the leading wealthy businessman in Ningbo, and he doesn't think he is angry, his family knows his own affairs, and now the strong family members of the Yan family are still like prisoners, although they also eat and drink, but they are guarded, and Ningbo Bawei and the jade dragon are entangled together, and now it seems that even the Fusang people are hooked up with them, compared with these forces, the Yan family is nothing.
At this time, the old housekeeper of Yan Gan, who was old and refined, sighed and said: "Zheng Xiaoxianggong seems to have achieved momentum, sure enough, the golden scales are not in the pool, and they will turn ......into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds" This old man also followed Yan Dazhang's father who read a lot of books, and I remember that there are such two sentences in many books that are angry and criticized, I didn't understand it back then, but now that I am getting older, I have seen more personnel, and I will slowly understand, just like Mrs. Cai, the governor of Zhejiang, when he was in Zhejiang just now, many people were not optimistic about him, including the Yan family, But later, this Governor Cai not only sat firmly in his position, but also sat for many years, to put it bluntly, it was just a meeting back then, and he happened to hug the thigh of the Nanjing garrison eunuch.
Yan Dazhang listened, was silent, sighed for a long time.
Not to mention the liveliness of the obedient officials when they went back to eat, and there were some jokes among them, the Fusang people do not eat meat, but this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is mostly pork, and then the obedient officials who thought they knew the customs of Fusang warmly invited them to eat, and also said that wine and meat passed through the heart of the Buddha, and this pork is okay to eat.
The so-called Buddha country is naturally a joke, but the pork of the obedient official is also a joke, the Fusang people say pigs, they are talking about the wild boar of [one pig, two bears and three tigers], if the Fusang people say that the pig is a hero, it is about the same as the tiger hero Wu Erye, and the pig raised by Ningbo Bawei is not called a pig in Fusang, it is called a pig, it is a lowly inferior person to eat, this custom is also passed from the Tang and Song dynasties, the Tang and Song people regard the pig as a dirty pig, just like Su Dongpo said [the rich family refuses to eat, the poor family does not understand the cooking], The slaughterhouses of Fusang killed pigs and cattle and handed over the skins and bones to the samurai master, and the meat was dirty and didn't eat it, so they ate it themselves. ,
The person who really understands is naturally Yi Neng Jingzhai, but how can he be willing to expose this fallacy Today's obedient official is his lord and his gold master, so he naturally makes a fortune in a muffled voice, and the Fusang warriors heard that it was pork, which is equivalent to the Ming people when they heard it, tiger meat, and immediately feasted on it, and the mouth was full of oil, as a result, the vast majority of Fusang warriors were so greasy that night because of their stomach and intestines were not adaptable, and there were many people who had diarrhea and pulled out of the anus.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was finished, Zheng Guofan and Zhong Li talked with candles and made up their minds, tomorrow the fleet of the Eight Guards turned around and went to Ningbo, Zhong Li was very confident that he could catch up with Lu Louwei, who made Ningbo Eight Guards gray, and the obedient official asked him to bring the big head back, but he was going to Fusang to take a walk.
The big head who had been beside him was anxious and shouted loudly, how can it be done. The obedient official appeased him, and then exaggerated the affairs of the Wenren clan several times, in fact, when the Wenren clan had just escaped from him, he was also anxious and panicked for a while, and at this time he was not so frightened, what does it mean that you are a court wife who ran to the Ryukyu Kingdom? What's more, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, few women dare to sue.
There is a rule in the law of the Ming Dynasty, called to go to the clothes and receive the cane, that is to say, the spanking is to take off the clothes and beat, because the government does not approve of the lawsuit, basically will give the woman who takes the initiative to sue the official to get a reason to beat the first and then say, the Ming Dynasty customs are open, but you can take off your clothes and hit the board with a bare buttocks, and it is unbearable for a woman. This custom over time, it has become a law vice, no matter what the reason, first pull you to the point where you have to go to the clothes and cane, beat the board and then say, even if the official has a conscience, but the person who is suing with you will also try his best to pull it up, and once there is such a situation, the people will hear the wind and move, flock to see the snow-white buttocks, just imagine, in this way, which woman still dares to sue, so in the Ming Dynasty, unless it is really a blood feud, otherwise it is unwilling to fight a lawsuit casually.
Therefore, the good official is exaggerating the effect to scare the big head at this time, and sure enough, as soon as the big head heard that there might be danger in the family, and you went back to bear a heavy responsibility, he agreed with a resolute face, but then he cried and said Young master, what are you doing when you go to Fusang alone, isn't it good for us to go back together, young master, you yourself said that Fusang didn't even have meat to eat.
The obedient official smiled and comforted him, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must go.
He had no ambition to pay it back, and he had ambitions, but this Fusang had to go, because there was a similar successful experience in later generations, and the father surnamed the country did this, and after a little Fusang, he controlled the trade routes of Fusang and Daming, and the financial routes of the merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang were cut off by one-third, and if they wanted to continue to make this money, they had to pay taxes to the people who controlled the trade routes.
Traveling back to the Ming Dynasty, if you don't engage in the gentry to pay for food, you will want to save the declining oriental civilization, it is simply wishful thinking, you engage in palace fighting, want to get ahead and become rich and noble, you can not go to Fusang, but if you have great ambitions, Fusang must go.
The emperors of the middle and late Ming Dynasty and so many pavilion elders did not make the gentry a single food, even Zhang Juzheng and other amazing people did not do it, and the obedient officials did not feel that even if they grew up in the future, they could be admitted to the court to be a cabinet elder, and the tax collection only collected the tax of the poor and did not collect the tax of the rich, and the Ming Dynasty must be destroyed.
Only the father surnamed Xueguo is like that, who you are, if you don't insert the banner of my Zheng family, it is difficult to move an inch on the sea, not only to learn, but also to do better than him.
The father of the country surnamed Ye married the daughter of the subordinates of the Matsuura Party in Fuso Kyushu as his wife, and he Zheng Guofan is now higher, the princess of the Tachibana family is his side room of Zheng Guofan, and when the time comes, unify Fuso Kyushu, and support a puppet daimyo on the main island of Fuso and Toyotomi Hideyoshi to sing against the stage, whoever is not convinced will beat whom, be the invisible king of Fuso, and then use Kyushu as a base, any Ming businessman who wants to come to Fuso to do business, must pay taxes to him Zheng Guofan, and almost all the big businessmen of Daming at the moment have fame, as long as someone starts to pay taxes, slowly, It will make all the guys in the world who don't pay taxes into the category of paying taxes.
At least, this is the method that the good official can think of at the moment, after all, this is the only successful experience in history, and the rest is not enough.
Of course, it is impossible to say such words as the king of Fuso, and the obedient official just told Zhongli this way, first gain a foothold on Kyushu Island, and then slowly develop a huge size, swallowing the entire Kyushu Island, and when the time comes, all the merchant ships will give us one out of ten.
Zhongli immediately drooled, and he came down in an uproar, he has been a guerrilla general over the years, and he is very clear about the wealth of Zhejiang maritime merchants, and all the sea ships that go to Fusang to do business are drawn out of ten, which is a big deal, but after drooling for a while, he is a little scared. ,
The so-called ignorant are fearless, and he, who has been running Ningbo Bawei for many years, knows the wealth of Zhejiang maritime merchants, if all those who go to Fusang to do business have to draw one out of ten, how much silver is this? He roughly calculated, calculated Fujian, Zhejiang and Liangguangtong, and then couldn't help but gasp.
The amount of money was so large that with his guerrilla guerrilla courage, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice trembled a little, and he subconsciously looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Brother...... Brother, brother, I calculated, this year, I can't collect five million taels of silver? The imperial court is only five million taels a year."
No wonder he is afraid, the amount of silver collected in a year is as much as the silver collected by the entire imperial court, which is ...... It's also too ......
The obedient official smiled, "Brother, your algorithm is wrong, in my calculation, eight million to ten million." ”
Zhongli's head buzzed, and he almost fell headlong, this silver is too much, it's too scary, you know, too much silver is also a biter, the so-called rich can rival the country, but how many people in history have a good end? For example, Shen Wansan at the time of the founding of the country, wasn't he exterminated by his grandfather, is it possible to rebel?
His face turned white all at once.
At this time, the mental quality of the obedient official is revealed, after all, it is from later generations, what is it to talk about the government and politics, although the scholars of the Ming Dynasty also talk about the government, but there will definitely not be the same as the later generations, how much stamp duty on the stock market, how many hundreds of billions, how many trillions, 90 million shareholders talk about the Tao one by one, and millions of taels of silver are considered a hair.
But Zhong Li was afraid, Zhang Ge Lao worked hard to get a whip, and finally collected five million taels of silver a year, his brother has a mouth, eight million to ten million a year, and scared him to death The former green forest brother is now a guerrilla in Zhejiang.
Seeing that Zhongli was frightened like this, the obedient official was speechless and endless, "This is still a preliminary estimate, in my calculations, in the later stage, it is not impossible to earn 20 million a year, the businessmen are doing their own business, we have a big voice, and when the time comes, we can stipulate that they will be able to decide what to buy and what to sell, just like those treacherous grain merchants in our Ming Dynasty, harvest grain at a low price in autumn, and sell grain at a high price at ordinary times, which is called a monopoly." ”
When Zhongli heard this, his eyes went dark, and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, twenty million ......
He originally planned to have a deal like this Yan family every year, and he also got about 500,000 taels from it, and after honoring his boss, his subordinates were divided, and then, there was silver to repair warships and build warships, but he never thought that he could earn so much.
Seeing his expression, the obedient official stopped talking, and when he finally recovered, he grabbed the obedient official, "Brother, this business is too hot, is it ...... Are you ready to ...... Rebel? As he spoke, he grunted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The obedient official laughed, it was in vain that I put my heart into this Brother Zhong, and I was even willing to say this, it was really for me, and I couldn't help but be a little moved, "What did my brother say, what did I do with a good rebellion, I just wanted to do what Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Ge always wanted to do but didn't do." ”
"What does Zhang Ge want to do?"
"The gentry receive food in one body." The obedient official said slowly.
Zhongli's face turned pale, although he hadn't read any books, but his brain was not dumber than a scholar, and even, smarter than most, wouldn't it be more difficult for this gentry to pay for food than to rebel? What kind of means is Zhang Gelao, it is never an exaggeration to say that the power is all over the world, and Zhang Gelao has not done anything......
regarded this Zhongli brother as the first object that needed to be persuaded, and the obedient official immediately opened the chatterbox, talking endlessly, from the land to the conscription, from taxation to the army, and the words were revealed, which meant that if the gentry did not pay grain in one piece, the Ming Dynasty might not last for many years.
Zhongli, as the general of the Eight Guards, is still very clear about the situation of the imperial court, such as the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the military guards can't send out the silver at all, and all the silver is thrown to the nine sides, otherwise why would he Zhongli run to the Ryukyu Kingdom for some silver, no food, no drink, no women, where is there comfort in Daming.
And what the obedient official said, made his heart condense, you know, maybe he Zhongli can't see that day, but he Zhongli will have a son in the future, he attaches great importance to the inheritance of Zongyi, otherwise why do you think about marrying an official lady all day long, it is nothing more than to raise the bloodline of his old Zhong family, and then pass on this wealth from generation to generation, if he just closes his eyes, the Ming Dynasty is gone, then what is he still fighting for.
This remark talked about Dongfang being white, lying on the floor with a big head holding a Yanling knife and falling asleep, and the good official and Zhong Liju both had red and swollen eyes, and they stayed up all night.
After taking a big sip of the tea that had cooled down, Zhongli slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, you are a great talent, although there are some things we still don't understand, but you are right, people like the Yan family do not pay taxes, harm others and themselves, this business, let's do it." ”
At this moment, he was not talking about 600,000 transactions, but 20 million transactions, four times the annual income of the imperial court. This kind of thing, a serious person from a serious background, such as Qi Jiguang, will definitely not agree, but he is not from a serious road background, he is a former big brother of the green forest.
