"Why did Chang'e steal Hou Yi's elixir in the first place?" After watching the moon, Shen Yazhi's feelings were a little low.

"Who knows, how do I know what that woman thinks!" Wang Yi said it rightly.

Shen Yazhi was amused, looking at this younger brother, who was a few years younger than herself, and she also lost the majesty of his husband during the day.

"I thought you knew everything!"

"If you want to say why Chang'e stole the medicine, I don't understand. But it is also Hou Yi's own trouble. ”

"I don't understand that......"

"Who told him to marry only one daughter-in-law of Chang'e, if he marries two more, there will be more people in the family, and there will be no such things." Looking at Shen Yazhi's expression of wanting to eat people, Wang Yi hurriedly explained: "Do you think, Hou Yi is such a valuable thing, if there are three or two women watching, can it be stolen by one of the daughters-in-law!" ”

"Oh, affection, we women are for you men!"

"Housekeeping?" Wang Yi made a surprised expression, "Come on, other men don't know, can I still not know!" Women have always regarded their husband's things as their own, houses, cars, tickets...... Well, in short, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine! ”

Shen Yazhi was amused by these words, and when she thought of her mother, in that ancient family in the south, fighting with her aunts, she was also a little awkward.

The night breeze blew, stirring the ends of Shen Yazhi's hair, and the faint fragrance hit Wang Yi's face, making him calm down inexplicably.

"How many wives are you going to marry in the future?"

"Of course, the more the merrier!"

"Phew, shameless!"

"I don't understand, there's something to learn here!"

Shen Yazhi was curious, "Are you going to marry a bunch of daughters-in-law or are you learning?" ”

"Of course!" Wang Yi said proudly: "Vole...... It is a wild mouse, which is divided into two types, one lives in the hills and the other lives in the grasslands. Among them, the hilly vole practiced polygamy, while the steppe vole was monogamous, and later people caught both kinds of male rats for research. Polygamous hill males were found to have better memory than monogamous steppe voles because they have a larger posterior hippocampal gyrus for spatial memory! You need to know that the human brain is the result of the interaction between genes and the environment......"

Shen Yazhi squinted her eyes, looked at Wang Yi with a sneer, and said, "So, you want to marry a bunch of daughters-in-law just to get old in the future?" ”

"Yes!"

Shen Yatou was like an enraged little tiger, pinching Wang Yi violently.

"Call you ran, call you ran, men don't have a good thing!"

Wang Yi hugged his head and ran away.

Shen Yazhi couldn't do anything about him for a while, so she had to stomp her feet, flick her sleeves, and leave angrily.

Rubbing the sore spots on his body, Wang Yixin said that this girl was not wrong, and seeing that the girl had gone downstairs, he was still jumping to his feet and shouting: "Do you understand, this is science!" ”

"Report!"

The next day, Wang Yi was writing materials, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he put the tablet in the drawer, and said, "Please come in!" ”

The person who came was his orderly, named Chu Yuan, a native of Zhili, who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and only fled to Fengtianfu this year, and later Wu Xiao arranged for him to Wang Yi. Shen Yazhi is in charge of the affairs of the school and Dashang, and the news of the insurance team is not in her hands, but Chu Yuan is in charge.

"Captain, there is a military letter."

The king nodded, Chu Yuan put the secret letter on the table, and after saluting, he turned to leave.

After removing the sealing wax, Wang Yizhan looked at it, and his expression gradually became gloomy and solemn, and then he fell into contemplation.

It seems that he still underestimated this Qi Guojun, but he didn't expect that in a few days, the entire Dagu Mountain would be connected, and he would destroy several large households and distribute the land he had gained. Isn't this a land reform? When I think about it, it's useless for the bandits to keep the land, if they give it to the people, they can get a chivalrous name, and then they will come over to collect some military rations, and the people will get benefits, and they won't be too resistant to it. Because of the rampant bandits, the tax collectors of the Qing court naturally did not dare to go to the one-third of an acre of land to toss, and even the taxes were lowered for the common people. If you count the peace fees paid by the merchants in the past, Dagushan has completely become a self-sufficient small court.

"It seems that the operation against Da Gushan cannot be delayed any longer!" Wang Yi pondered in his heart, "After a long time, if you really let the Qi Guojun complete the integration of the entire region, and then start again, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult." ”

Wang pulled a rope from the side of the table, which led to the secretary's room and was connected to a bell.

After a while, Shen Yazhi walked in, and Wang Yi didn't joke, and said directly: "Help me send a message to the Zhang family and ask them how the matter of helping me buy land in Dagu Mountain is going?" If so, please come over for tea in the afternoon. ”

Shen Yazhi nodded and withdrew.

In the afternoon, Zhang Quanbao came as promised. Both of them are old acquaintances, so there are not too many greetings, and they cut straight to the point.

"The land that the virtuous brother wants has been bought, and it is impossible to be so smooth, but it is said that he borrowed the light of the Qi army, and he cut down all the big local families, and many of these places have become borderless land. It just so happens that Shengjing is also short of silver, so let's buy it, plus there are barren mountains and mountains, so the government is naturally open to convenience. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Wang Yi smiled slightly.

"However, there is something that the government has brought up in passing."

"What's the matter?"

"They hope to borrow some ......silver from Dashang Yinlu," Zhang Quanbao looked at Wang Yiyi with a smile.

"You mean government loans?"

"That's right!"

When Yingkou was repairing coastal defense, Yingkou Tongzhi had borrowed 30,000 taels of silver with an annual interest rate of 5% with a one-year grain and oil tax right as collateral. However, the money was quickly repaid, and the two sides worked together happily. Later, this kind of loan gradually became one of the businesses of Dashang Yinlu, although the profit is far from other businesses, but the good relationship with the official can not be measured by money.

Wang Yi picked up a cup of tea, smelled the aroma first, then took a sip lightly, and said for a long time: "How much do you want to borrow?" ”

Zhang Quanbao stretched out five fingers and said, "500,000 Guan Pingyin!" Three years, no interest! ”

Hearing the words, Wang raised the corners of his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Does the eldest brother think I should borrow it?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Quanbao looked at Wang Yiyi and laughed, and said: "Although there is no interest, the government can let you mine for three years with the coal mine in Fushun, east of Shengdong, as collateral!" But you have to meet the local coal demand in Shengjing first. As for the rest, the government will not interfere with it. ”

"That's it!" Wang Yi fell silent.

Zhang Quanbao was a little strange, this was a sure deal, he didn't expect it, but Wang Yi hesitated.

"Is there something wrong with the virtuous brother? Could it be that the big merchants can't get so much silver now? ”

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, don't hide it, the younger brother accidentally heard that General Sheng Jing's body doesn't seem to be very good......"

Zhang Quanbao was stunned for a moment, and didn't react at first, but then suddenly realized: "What does the little brother mean...... His old man's life is not ......."

Wang Yi waved his hand and didn't let Zhang Quanbao continue. Lao Zhang himself felt a little speechless, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

"That's a nuisance! If you really want people to go to tea and cool, we have no place to reason! "The Zhang family also has shares in Dashang, so he naturally won't do the business that makes his family lose money.

"By the way, what are they going to do with so much money?" Wang Yi suddenly asked.

"Didn't you say you were going to emigrate to the Northeast...... Last year, Lord Chongshi handed over the fold to the top, and the two palaces also approved it, but the funds were not sufficient, and the gap was quite large. Although it is with the power of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, it is difficult to satisfy! ”

"So it's for this!"

Emigration to the Northeast is of course beneficial to the Northeast, and Wang Yi must help in this matter no matter what. But to say that just giving money and not taking benefits is obviously Wang Yi's character. After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Yi finally made up his mind and said, "Brother Zhang, I don't think it's as good as this, we will borrow the money!" But this matter needs to be published in the newspaper and notified to the whole country. In addition, I have a requirement that the interest be calculated separately from the mortgage. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The interest is the profit from the coal mining for three years, and if it cannot be repaid on time, the mining rights of the coal mine for 20 years will be used as collateral! In addition, the right to build and operate the railway in Mukden was also mortgaged. ”

"The right to build and operate the railway?" Zhang Quanbao didn't expect Wang Yi to make such a request. "Brother Xian, we still won't let the railway be repaired in the Qing Dynasty, right?"

"If you don't let it now, it doesn't mean you won't let it in the future!"

Zhang Quanbao thought for a while, pointed at Wang Yi and smiled: "Brother Xian, aren't you playing a trap on Sheng Jing?" ”

"Wrong, it's the so-called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai ......"

"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer!"

Both laughed at the same time.

In fact, in this year, that is, in 1876, the British merchant Jardine Matheson & Co. secretly built China's first railway, the Wusong Railway, and later because of the ignorance of the Qing government and the people, the railway was full of doubts. In addition, the passers-by were crushed, so the public resentment boiled, and the Qing government had no choice but to spend 285,000 taels of silver to redeem the railway, and then dismantle it. Originally, these things were transported to Taiwan for the construction of the Taiwan Railway, but due to various reasons, the project was delayed, so these equipment and machines were thrown on the beach and no one cared about them. It was not until 1883 that the machine, which had become a scrap material, was re-shipped back to Shanghai, and then transferred to the Kaiping mining area and re-activated.

In this era, it was not only the Qing government that was ignorant, but also the common people at that time, which was also the main reason why Wang Yi wanted to open education in the northeast. Of course, even if the people are educated, it does not mean that the people are intelligent, and this is only an initial condition. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, when the US President Guanhai ran for office, he was regarded by the entire Western world as the savior who helped the United States out of the financial crisis. Taiwan's Ma leader's initial campaign slogan was the so-called 633 plan, Wang Yi was very surprised at that time, as long as anyone with a little knowledge of global trade concepts and finance knows that the wishes they said are completely impossible in the context of a global recession, but the strange thing is that the people are like crazy, or still believe ......
