Chapter 645: A Mysterious Letter

Chen Wenshan's behavior of "righteous annihilation of relatives" surprised Li Xin, this person's appearance in the rice storm can be said to be extremely poor, not to mention indecisiveness, and the problem of the emperor's laxity, he was able to dispose of Hu Liu, and sent the concubine he had always loved home, indicating that he was proving that he was planning to change his past. That being the case, Li Xin decided to give him another chance to see if this Longtan County Commander would make any progress.

In the past few days, the audit of the entry and exit of the yamen has occupied most of Mi Yan's time, and he himself does not know how to make money, but fortunately, there are many people in the Three Guards who are good at this, and he will lead the way and do the errands in an orderly manner. The superintendent of the yamen was originally to supervise the cotton weaving of Nanzhili, and Li Xin had no choice but to receive this errand temporarily. The officials in the county government of Longtan County made a big hole in the county order Chen Wenshan, so for safety reasons, they had to hand over the yamen to the superintendent who belonged to the governor of Nanzhili.

Li Xin also knew that most of the people in the Yamen were the original members of the Longtan County Yamen, so he sent two more people to act as the sitting office, so as to control the overall situation, so that Xiaoxiao would not dare to act arbitrarily. These two people, one is Li Da, and the other is Mi Yan.

In the last few days, the superintendent yamen swept up 500,000 stone of grain at an average price of 228 yuan of silver, of which about 50,000 stone was spot rice, and the rest were rice coupons. The total amount of silver spent was more than 1.4 million taels.

But this statistical result made him unbelievable, and he thought that the calculation was wrong, and asked the following good hands to recount it. It wasn't until after confirming that it was correct that Mi Yan sighed with emotion, "Since today, I didn't know that there was such a way to make money." ”

However, after more than half a month's effort, the newly established supervision yamen actually had millions of taels of money flowing in and out, and this amount was close to the income of the Ming court. While admiring Li Xin's miraculous work, Mi Yan's back also felt a slight chill, the husband was not guilty and conceived his guilt, and suddenly became rich Even though the wealth of money and rice is a thing that makes the Three Guards happy, but the blessings and misfortunes lurk, and the hidden worries are self-evident.

How many people have lost their money in this stormglass, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Three Guards and the Marquis of Zhen. The rafters of the Zhenyu Marquis have experienced too many winds, rains, thunders and lightning, and even the hat of conspiracy and rebellion has been buckled on his head, and now he has offended a large number of local wealthy gentry when he just came to Jiangnan, and it is really difficult to judge between gains and losses.

After Li Xin heard Mi Yan's worries, he smiled bitterly, and said disappreciatively: "If there are too many lice, don't you like to bite, whether I do it or not, don't those people pounce on me and bite me?" In that case, why bother tying oneself and losing morale! Let's talk about it, how much money will we gain this time? ”

Hearing Li Xin inquire about the accounts of the superintendent yamen, Mi Yan hurriedly sat down and said: "The superintendent of the yamen gets 500,000 stone of rice, and the principal is 50,000 taels of gold, a total of about 500,000 taels of silver, excluding all kinds of expenses, based on the current average price of rice, the net profit can reach more than 800,000 taels of silver......

Li Xin was also secretly frightened by this, and in just a few days, he effortlessly earned nearly one million taels of silver. At the same time, he is a little pity, his principal is still too small, if there is a principal of one million taels, I am afraid that he will earn more.

But after another thought, the spies he sent to the rice warehouse as an intermediary guarantor in the last few days had roughly estimated that the total amount of kung fu transactions in the entire rice market in recent months should be more than two million stones, and as for the above, there is no way to count it because the previous trading volume is too much, it may be three million stones, it may be five million stones, or even more. In other words, the abundance of private rice storage in Jiangnan is far beyond his imagination. So the question is, the only person who made money in this turmoil incident was him, Li Xin? Obviously, it is impossible, in addition to his own 500,000 stone grain, there are even millions of stone grain circulating in the rice market, whose pocket will all this grain end up into?

Mi Yan couldn't answer this question, he could only shake his head in embarrassment, but at least he dared to confirm that Ruan Dacheng, the initiator behind the rice price turmoil, must have lost no less than millions of taels.

"I heard that Ruan Dacheng's marionette placed at the front desk hanged himself?" Li Xin squinted his eyes when he talked about Ruan Dacheng, and felt that in this incident, it was also an unexpected gain to be able to hit those who were worried about themselves behind their backs, at least it could make those people want to do tricks in the future, and they should always weigh whether they had the ability to bear the consequences in their eyes after failure" Yes, yesterday in the city inn hanging beams, when the shopkeeper found him, his body was already weak. Mi Yan replied respectfully.

"If he lived a peaceful life in Nanjing and ran that small rice shop, why did he end up like this? Chief, tell me, what are these people trying to do when they come to make things difficult for us? ”

What else can you want, naturally it is money, but the money is not planned, not to mention, and the life is also put into it, which is really pitiful. Mi Yan thought secretly. Of course, he knew that although Li Xin had this question, he had already had the answer in advance. This sentence is just like his feelings.

"There is also a strange thing, although the price of rice has fallen sharply within three taels of silver, there are still about sixty percent of the rice merchants trading in Longtan County."

Li Xin's eyes flashed, "These people still want to make trouble?" ”

"No, they are still continuing to trade, as if I heard that they have also summed up the experience of the sharp rise and fall of rice prices, and formed a trader chamber of commerce, and set a lot of regulations, anyone who enters the big warehouse and intends to trade must first pay a bond, and must comply with the regulations, violators will be punished, and those who are not satisfied will be removed from the chamber of commerce." Mi Yan asked tentatively, "Do you want to send someone to ban him?" With so many people getting together all day, I'm afraid it's not a good thing in the long run. ”

Li Xin had a different opinion, waved his hand and said disapprenously: "No need, just send someone to watch it, as long as you don't make a moth, don't interfere with them!" Our main energy is to tell those young people in Nanjing who want to cure the Three Guards to death. ”

"I want to see what kind of virtue Ruan Dacheng is at the moment? It's sure to look great! ”

"What kind of virtue can it be, it's nothing more than a dead father and a dead mother!" Lu Jiu happened to enter the study, and when he heard Mi Yan sigh like this, he answered in passing. Then, he put an official document on the table in front of Li Xin.

"Sun Butang's urgent letter!"

Li Xinxin's head tightened, and he was in a hurry to send a letter at this time, could it be that something big had happened? But after unfolding the letter, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Sun Jiao's letter said that Ruan Dacheng had a large number of convoys into the city, and there were countless silver trucks and grain trucks, and he didn't want to lose money. So Sun Jiao sent someone to secretly verify that Ruan Dacheng had indeed exchanged a large amount of silver money in the city, the specific amount is unknown, and it was always more than one million. Sun Ji was worried and asked Li Xin if he had lost money and how much money he had lost.

So Ruan Dacheng made money? This is unreasonable, let's not talk about how Ruan Dacheng made money, if he made money, why did the owner of the rice shop who pulled the puppet commit suicide? Besides, he collects rice at a high price and buys rice at a low price, no matter how he calculates this account, he will not make a profit.

Li Xin couldn't figure it out in his head, and showed Sun Ji's letter to Mi Yan, who was also confused, and the last few people came to the conclusion that Ruan Dacheng was bluffing. Although Li Xin also agreed with this statement, he still felt that something was wrong, but he was just in a hurry and couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, Li Xin immediately replied to Sun Jiao, mentioning the various situations here, as well as the net profit of nearly one million taels of silver, and explained them one by one, so that he did not have to worry.

Li Xin is also very curious about one thing, that is, how much did the mysterious person who gave charcoal to himself in this rice turmoil and fought with Ruan Dacheng to lower the price of rice earned. It's just that this kind of thing can only be roughly estimated, and what Mi Yan counted is that this person must have earned at least one million taels or more.

"This person is also thanks to the Marquis of Zhen. If it weren't for the fake news in the end, I was afraid that I would have to lose millions or more. There is also a cause and effect! ”

In the first two days, this person collected rice at a high price and sold rice at a low price, obviously trying to use his financial resources to forcibly suppress the price of rice. It's just that the opponent is Ruan Dacheng, who is even more wealthy, and only collects but does not sell after that. I don't know how much I will lose in the past two days, and the subsequent income will only be able to fill these holes. ”

"It's a blessing that I didn't lose any money at all!" Mi Yan added.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report, and someone sent a thank you gift and presented a thick stack of fire patent paper envelopes. Li Xin opened it in confusion, and took out a stack of paper from it, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a stack of rice coupons, and after a rough count, it was no less than 200,000 stones. Li Xin, who reacted, hurriedly asked the pro-soldier: "What about the person who delivered the letter?" ”

"Chase it back!" Li Xin was about to call the person who sent the letter back and inquire carefully.

"I'm afraid it's too late, he came on horseback, and rode away again! It's been a quarter of an hour! Li Xin said to Mi Yan that this person must be the mysterious person who sent charcoal in the snow. Mi Yan agreed, and the mysterious person was also generous, and he shot 200,000 stone of grain.

Li Xin took a closer look and found another letter, but when he opened it, he felt a sense of surprise.

"Yuan Chang, Ruan Dacheng's cat behind him is only afraid that he will be exposed!"

Mi Yan felt for a while after hearing this, and the tea bowl he was holding in his hand was about to finish his mouth, so he put it down again and looked at Li Xin excitedly.

"How? Is he really bluffing? Exactly, how exactly is the stuffing exposed? ”

Li Xin smiled and shook his head mysteriously! Then he handed the letter and envelope in his hand to Mi Yan, and asked Mi Yan to take the letter and read the contents of the letter by himself, and suddenly a page of the envelope fell quietly.
