"Grandpa Guo, I have calculated my humble position, Liaodong is empty, the land is fertile, if it is opened up, there will be no less than tens of millions of acres of fields, and if it continues to advance northward, I am afraid that there are tens of millions of acres. The land in eastern Liaodong is suitable for growing soybeans, and with soybeans you can squeeze oil. It's just that lard is expensive, rapeseed oil production is not much, and there is competition for fertile land. If the land in Liaodong can be planted with soybeans, it is estimated that it is enough for every household in the world to eat soybean oil. You can earn a penny of silver from each person, tens of millions of dings, and soybeans alone are three to five million taels of silver. ”

Bao Shiqing stood respectfully opposite Zhang Ke, talking about business, the more he talked, the happier he became, he was a big buyer of war bonds, the commercial interests of Liaodong, and Tuntian, there would be a share of him, and he was the fattest.

It is conservatively estimated that in two or three years, the value of the Bao family can more than double or triple!

From the original middle family, he has become the number one businessman in the world, all by betting on Zhang Ke. Bao Shiqing couldn't wait to throw away the God of Wealth at home, replace it with the tablet of Pingliao Gong, and burn incense every day to worship.

"Hehehe, okay, it's good that you guys have a profit." Zhang Ke suddenly smiled bitterly: "Shiqing, people outside say how majestic I Zhang Ke is, in the end, I am working hard for you, don't you say?" ”

"Don't dare!"

Bao Shiqing was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Grandpa Guo, the humble function has today, it all depends on the promotion of Grandpa Guo, if Grandpa Guo needs it, he is willing to give his family property at any time and honor Grandpa Guo." ”

"Well, it doesn't have to be so, Ben doesn't blame you, get up quickly!"

"Yes." Bao Shiqing agreed, and secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Ke didn't look at him, but took a few teacups and fiddled with them, with a total of three layers. There are six on the lower floor, three on the top, and only one on the top, like the champagne towers that were common in later generations.

Zhang Ke picked up the teapot and slowly poured it from above, the top one was full first, the tea overflowed, the second layer gradually slowed down, and finally the bottom layer, waiting until all the teacups were full. Zhang Ke slowly put down the teapot.

"Shiqing, what do you see?"

"This ......" Bao Shiqing shook his head and said, "Forgive me for being humble and stupid, I don't know what Grandpa Guo means." ”

"This is like the society of the Ming Dynasty, Shinong Industry and Commerce, 369, etc., only when the upper class is full, can it be divided into the middle and lower classes. If the upper class is not enough to eat. The people below will only starve! ”

Zhang Ke paused and said with a smile: "In the past, it was the officials and gentry who were the upper echelons, but in the eyes of Benjue, a businessman is a hundred times more wealthy than a farmer. And the officials only distribute wealth, and as for the literati, it is not worth mentioning. After Benjue conquered Liaodong, the first one is to share the benefits with you. ”

Thump!

Bao Shiqing fell to his knees. reverently kowtowed to Zhang Ke.

"Grandpa Guo is kind to us, dare not to repay us with death!"

"Arise, Benjue does not want you to repay you. But to let you understand that Benjue has given you the greatest fat, and you must also share the benefits, and not enjoy them for yourselves. Do you understand what I mean? ”

"The lowly post understands that the lowly post must do a good job in the affairs of the Liaodong immigrants to Tuntian. We paid for the people to build houses, provide seeds and farm tools, provide grain for cattle and ploughing, and in short, what was lacking, the lowly and southeastern merchants were all covered! ”

Regarding Bao Shiqing's words, Zhang Ke did not doubt it at all. The pockets of the southeastern merchants are getting deeper and deeper, and they have made a lot of money by opening up the market, and not long ago, they have made another windfall.

Just five days after Zhang Ke conquered Liaoyang, suddenly a rumor appeared in Songjiang, saying that the Yizhou soldiers were attacked by a sneak attack, and Zhang Ke, the Duke of Pingliao, was hit by a crossbow arrow, and his life and death were uncertain, and the Yizhou soldiers were ready to retreat.

When the news spread, it immediately affected the overall situation in Jiangnan, and all retail investors who bought war bonds sold off one after another, and within two days, the bonds fell to the floor price, and if they fell again, they became waste paper.

Retail investors don't know, at the same time, someone quietly bought all the bonds, and the next day came the news of the victory of the Yizhou soldiers, and it was not Zhang Ke who was injured, but Huang Taiji!

Bonds skyrocketed in an instant, and prices exploded. Those retail investors all regretted it, and they could obviously make a lot of money, but they lost their fortunes, and some even hanged themselves and jumped into the river, and Jiangnan was shaken.

In the end, two businessmen who spread rumors had to be found to confess, and more than a dozen officials were dismissed to quell public anger.

This is also the first bond crisis in history, and the big investors in Jiangnan quickly learned how to manipulate the capital market and how to make huge profits!

I have to say that there has never been a shortage of geniuses in the land of China!

Of course, Bao Shiqing and others are not at ease when they make money. Playing with the victory or defeat of Grandpa Guo, just to make money for them, if you annoy Grandpa Guo, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Benjue really didn't expect you to learn so quickly!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Finance, it's a gamble, and I'm willing to gamble." As for the immigrants from Liaodong, Ben Jue didn't want to blackmail you, and told the people that half of the equity of the land belongs to the merchants, and they only occupy half of it, and within five years, what to plant will be subject to your arrangement. As for five years later, they redeemed the fields on their own! ”

"Grandpa Shengming!" Bao Shiqing hurriedly kowtowed, what he was most afraid of was that the people did not want to plant soybeans, with this order, it would be guaranteed within five years, as for five years, the big guys were used to planting, how could they change lightly!

"And even more holy, when the war is over, there are millions of slaves to be reduced to slavery. I will sell them to you at a price, and use them to build roads and houses, and open up the wasteland. Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment, and said narrowly: "Life or death!" ”

"Bow down to thank the grandfather!"

Bao Shiqing walked out of the handsome account, his legs were fluttering, and he forgot how to take a step!

How much money can be made from tens of millions of acres of ownerless land, plus a million slaves, at their disposal?

This grandfather is simply a boy who scatters wealth, no, he is the God of Wealth! Follow him to make more money than in previous lifetimes. He immediately went back to tell the news to the other businessmen, so that the big guy could get ready, such a big cake in Liaodong could not be eaten, and the big guys had to join forces.

……

The nerves of the imperial court are always less sensitive than those of businessmen, and Bao Shiqing is in Jiangnan, but he is three days earlier than the imperial court's Qincha. In the gust of autumn wind, Cui Chengxiu, a university scholar, and Hong Qingquan, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of Bingbi, rushed to Liaodong with a group of officials.

They are all old acquaintances, and after seeing Zhang Ke, they greeted each other early.

Cui Chengxiu trotted in front of Zhang Ke. grabbed Zhang Ke's hand and laughed: "Brother Yongzhen, Grandpa Guo!" You have made immortal achievements, immortal achievements! ”

"From the emperor, to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, to the small people in the market, they are all looking forward to which heroes can recover Liaodong and wash away the shame! Sure enough, it was our Pingliao Gong again, waving his hand. Jiannu was wiped out, thousands of miles of territory, millions of living beings, and the grandfather of the country made great contributions. In a few days, the imperial court will issue a holy decree, but I am afraid that your title will be further improved! ”

Grandpa Guo has reached the top, if he rises again, then he can only be a prince!

Except for Xu Da posthumously crowned the king of Zhongshan, no one can enjoy the prince alive, it is simply a grace of the world! But the group of people behind Zhang Ke had no gratitude. Even cold and scary.

The obvious things, Zhang Ke's credit is there, even if he is crowned a prince, it is not too much. On the contrary, the imperial court not only did not send troops during this war. Not even food was provided. After the fact, the heroes were crowned heroes, and they simply stole the limelight. Te is not authentic!

Zhang Ke was very happy and pulled everyone into the city. Along the way, Hong Qingquan looked left and right, shook his head and sighed.

"Grandpa Guo. I think our family also came to Liaodong back then, not to mention the abundance of Wufu Minfeng, at least we can get by. Come back now. There are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, mass graves everywhere, wild dogs devouring the dead, and white bones everywhere. The Tartars are so wicked, they all deserve to be killed! ”

"What Gonggong Hong said is that Benjue will not let go of the Tartars, I want to reduce their entire clan to slaves, let them rebuild the city roads in Liaodong, open up the wasteland, and atone for their sins for the rest of their lives!"

"Can you do it for a lifetime? Let's think it's going to take ten lifetimes and a hundred lifetimes! ”

I didn't see it, Eunuch Hong was still a jealous person. Everyone talked and laughed, and arrived at Fengji Fort.

The guest sat down, and Cui Chengxiu asked impatiently: "Brother Yongzhen, Shenyang hasn't been taken down yet, I don't know when to do it?" After all, only by taking Shenyang can it be regarded as a complete recovery of Liaodong. ”

"Hehe, it's all meat in a bowl, you can eat it whenever you want, Benjue didn't do it, he just wanted to make this pot of meat a little worse."

Zhang Ke said with confidence, Cui Chengxiu had already learned his skills, and suddenly stopped talking, and said with a smile: "Listen to Yongzhen about the war, we just drink and celebrate!" ”

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Zhang Ke treated the two Qincha very politely, Cui Chengxiu and Hong Qingquan were even more bent to welcome, good words were like no money, and the generals present drank very happily.

Until the second watch, everyone dispersed, but Cui Chengxiu stayed.

"Brother Cui has a good amount of alcohol, I am a little dizzy from drinking." Zhang Ke said with a smile: "I asked people to arrange a place to stay, Brother Cui should rest early!" ”

"Not busy!" Cui Chengxiu took a hot towel, applied it to his face for a while, and had a spiritual head.

"Brother Yongzhen, we are friends who have fought together, you have to save me!"

Zhang Ke frowned, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui, drink too much, you are a scholar of the dynasty, a high and powerful position, a protégé and an old official, all over the world, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

Cui Chengxiu stomped his feet angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yongzhen, old Cui doesn't go around in circles with you, I told you the truth, our holy body is finished!" ”

"How?"

"Alas, Brother Yongzhen, this summer the saint went to Xiyuan to play, but he fell into the water and contracted a disease, and his health is getting worse day by day."

Zhang Ke remembered the apocalypse falling into the water in a trance, and smiled disapprenorovingly: "Isn't it just to go into the water and take a bath, the saint is only in his early twenties, and there is no big problem!" ”

"No, no, no!" Choi Chengxiu shook his head like a rattle.

"Brother Yongzhen, if it is an ordinary fall into the water, it will be fine, but this time the holy body is not good, and it is ...... over and over again."

Cui Chengxiu peeked outside, lowered his voice and said: "And the saint has no son, since the saint's body is not successful, the concubines in the palace are fighting for favor, hoping to give birth to a dragon son and become the prince immediately." Some eunuchs actually took the opportunity to offer pills to the emperor, the dragon body was weak, and they were greedy for women, but they were afraid, but they were afraid that it would not last long! Cui Chengxiu sighed and said. (To be continued......)
