"I don't know if the king has considered it......" Finally, Liu Zhenye also mentioned a problem: "The silver will only be stolen and rusty if it is placed in the treasury, so it is better to store it in our bank, and we will pay the profit." ”

After Wu Sangui sent Liu Zhenye away with a smile, he couldn't help but scolded when he was alone with Hong Chengchou: "This grandson, does he want to borrow my money, and then lend me my money and use the king's money to buy the king's things?" ”

Hong Chengchou was amazed by Liu Zhenye's financial resources, five million taels was almost the positive tax amount of the year before and next year, and after the three salaries were raised, the world was in a boil, but it was only about 20 million yuan per year for Emperor Chongzhen, and the Workers' and Peasants' Bank took it out without blinking.

Although Wu Sangui was also a little red-eyed, but since the other party dared to show his wealth like this, most of them were behind the scenes, Wu Sangui couldn't figure out the specific link for a while, so he laughed at himself first: "After the Duke of Qi loves the general, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, maybe this is the gold and silver of the Duke of Qi's treasury." ”

"How can Duke Qi be willing to give us the money from his domain?" Hong Chengchou was very annoyed that he couldn't find out the details of Liu Zhenye's father in advance, but then again, who would have thought that the Liu family would let a good Qi Gong confidant go into business?

"Maybe Gong Qi wants to win us over?" Wu Sangui tilted his head and thought for a while, although this can explain some doubts, there are still many mysteries.

"If the Duke of Qi is wooed, the king might as well make a false appointment and get the silver." Hong Chengchou has always felt that he should raise his own respect, but Wu Sangui always disagreed, although he verbally agreed, but always said that as long as he made immortal contributions to Dashun, he would be able to make eternal towns. What else do you say that the king with a different surname is more reassuring to the court than the king of the same person, and even Zhu Hongwu didn't leave a Mu family in Yunnan?

"Got it, got it, Father." Wu Sangui really became impatient again: "But the lord gave me the throne that I worked hard to earn back, if I voted for the Duke of Qi, let's not talk about whether this remnant Ming can still turn the sky, even if it can, can it still give me a higher status?" It's all a one-word king. ”

"It's because it's the king of one word, and His Majesty can't give the king more things, so ......"

"Okay, Father, this king wants to compete for Dashun to defend the border, although he will not be completely vigilant, but no matter whether the Duke of Qi uses the treasury silver to help me, as long as the lord and the remnant Ming are opposed, I will still support the lord one-sidedly." Wu Sangui was very afraid that Hong Chengchou would say something good, and he would accidentally talk nonsense in front of outsiders, and the words that came out of the mouth of his own prime minister must be Niu Jinxing would not wait to ignore it, Wu Sangui repeatedly listened to Hong Chengchou say that Li Zicheng's intelligence was not outstanding, and he knew that he did not think very highly of this leader of the rebel army who had been defeated in his hands many times: "In addition, King Wu is still here, and this thought cannot be born." ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou's excitement was suddenly knocked down a lot, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "Actually, it's not King Wu anymore, Your Majesty and the general are gradually growing up, and what will happen in the future is not certain." ”

"Then we'll talk about it later." Although Wu Sangui didn't think so, he was loyal to himself by saying such things, anyway, Wu Sangui felt that he was an assertive person and could hold the helm at a critical moment.

"Banks are good." Wu Sangui then said to Hong Chengchou: "We have to build one ourselves, and we must not allow banks in Fujian and Guangdong to develop a business of saving money in Liaodong." ”

"The king is high," Hong Chengchou immediately understood: "Then our bank will not have to pay interest." ”

……

After meeting a group of Fujian and Guangdong businessmen one after another, Wu Sangui became more interested in Huangshi's statecraft, used various channels to find a large number of materials, and studied Huangshi's various statecraft concepts without leaving home and all night every day.

When the merchants of Fujian and Guangdong began to plan to develop some coastal ports and mines, Wu Sangui called Hong Chengchou, who was busy with government affairs all day long and had no time to study systematic theories. ”

"The king must have learned a lot." Hong Chengchou rarely heard Wu Sangui praise someone like this.

"No wonder King Wu is so powerful, he really has a good master, but he only learned some fur from Qi Gong. Even this little bit of fur is known for what it is, and I don't know why. ”

"The king is a martial artist, and he is out of the ordinary, so he must be aware of the various shortcomings of Qi Gong." Hong Chengchou immediately sent a high hat.

Wu Sangui accepted this compliment with a shameless face, and said unashamedly: "In today's world, if you dare to say the way of Qi Gong to govern the country, if this king claims to be second, then no one dares to call him first." ”

"Qi Guo wants to use Di Bao to consolidate the hearts of the people...... Duke Qi wanted to use the Qing Yuan to show righteousness...... Qi Gong wanted to use industry and commerce to enrich the treasury...... It's a pity that there is something wrong with the Duke of Qi, that is, he doesn't understand the Legalist's conquest technique, it's really a pity, a pity. But then again, if Duke Qi even understands this, no matter how young he is twenty years younger, this king can only lead the horse for him. These days, Wu Sangui has really worked hard, thinking that he can see the shortcomings of Huangshi's various policies clearly, and he has combined the imperial mind of the Legalists to make up for the shortcomings of Huangshi's system.

"The minister knocks and asks the king for advice."

"Haha, please sit down." Wu Sangui waved his hand quite imposingly, and after Hong Chengchou sat down, he said with a smile: "After reading the book of the Duke of Qi, this king Mao Sai suddenly opened, and the Liao domain can not only collect taxes, but also collect more than before. ”

"This ...... King. Hong Chengchou wondered if this topic had only been discussed for a long time, why Wu Sangui's mind suddenly turned back.

"The court is not afraid, this king naturally has a proper explanation," Wu Sangui was confident: "And the method of this king's explanation is not a chapter, to say that this is also the inspiration of the Duke of Qi to this king." Well, well, the so-called blocking is better than sparse, many of Qi Gong's ideas, as long as they are slightly improved, even Han Fei and Li Sina are beyond their reach, especially the word 'people' invented by Qi Gong, which is really amazing and convincing. ”

……

At the beginning, when Wu Sangui appointed his henchman Wang Fuchen to be in charge of this division, everyone thought that this would be an important military organization, and even Wang Fuchen himself was resistant to the nature of the work of this division, but Wu Sangui persuaded Wang Fuchen with good words: This division is more important than ordinary military institutions, and even said that this is a battlefield that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, but is more bloody.

The Observation Department quickly abolished all private newspapers in Liaodong and converted them into government offices, and was also responsible for supervising all publications. The Observation Department quickly launched a newspaper of the official residence of the Liao Domain, which was named: Liaodong People's Observer.

Relying on the new trapboard printing press imported from Guangdong, the Liaodong observers had new periodicals every day, which were sent to the whole of Liaodong through fast horses, and special personnel were set up in various places to read this newspaper to the people of Liaodong, so as to ensure that the people of Liaodong could keep abreast of the major events inside and outside the domain.

The Liao people observers soon denounced the landlords and gentry who had survived the rule of the chieftains, and explained the recent announcement of the Liao king's policy of taking all the Liao land into feudal ownership: In the past, the reason why the people were not living well was because they had to pay the emperor's grain and the landlord's rent, and the king of Liao did the great cause of Tang Wu and eliminated the tyrannical Chongzhen Dujun in one fell swoop. What kind of royal land is divided, the land of the whole Liao is shared by the Liao people, and all the output is the people's own except for the payment of Shunting tribute and the maintenance of the operation of the Liao Wangfu - the Liao domain is not only exempt from taxation for three years, but exempted forever!

The second wave of clean-up work was aimed at all kinds of merchants in the domain, Wang Fuchen commanded many official newspapers led by Liao people observers to shout hoarsely for the policy, and the Liao Wangfu also invested heavily in order to open up the people's wisdom, and each village had people reciting various palace newspapers for the villagers every day.

The so-called no treacherous businessmen, all businessmen do not produce, they will only sit back and enjoy their success, and earn the black money of the people of Liaodong by exploiting their subordinates or earning the price difference. The Liao king ordered all merchants to have their homes raided, and their shops were converted into feudal offices on the spot, and as long as the Liao people completed the registration work, they could go to the local feudal rice shop to receive their daily needs with their identity certificates. Wang Fuchen wrote a signed article saying that in order to realize his ambition to obey the Lord and prevent the suffering of the people from repeating, His Royal Highness the King of Liao and all the officials of the Liao Wangfu received food from the rice shop.

Within a few days, Liaomin observers observed another unimaginable thing in the previous dynasty, the Minister of State Hong Chengchou fainted at work, because he worked hard day and night, but like everyone else, because of the material scarcity in Liaodong - the evil Lin Dan Khan made the sin, only Xiangguo, who had little food ration like everyone, finally fainted while starving and working. Soon after the publication of this report, special canteens were set up for officials of the Liao Domain, and officials received food according to their ranks.

Although the people of Liaodong eat very little, do not wear much, and almost no one has savings except in the urban areas, and all the harvest must be saved in the people's warehouses set up in the Liaowang Mansion, but because of the newspapers of the Observation Division, the people of Liaodong have become bright-eyed, and they are now working hard for themselves and their children and grandchildren. On behalf of the Liao Palace, Lord Wang Fuchen guaranteed - look, since ancient times, how can any high-ranking officials promise to the common people: in the future, the Liao Wangfu will establish a large number of public schools, and all the children of the Liao people can go to literacy, and guarantee that they will not charge a penny; In the future, the Liao Wangfu will build a large number of residences to shelter the people of the world, which is absolutely free; In the future, the Liao Wangfu will also raise a lot of doctors, not only will there be no need for silver for consultation, but even the medicinal materials will be used casually.

Because of these guarantees, the income of people in the towns has indeed declined, and although the treatment of craftsmen is not as good as that of Lin Dan Khan's time, everyone feels hopeful, after all, this is no longer a slave to a foreign race, and there will no longer be a fate of enslavement. Lord Wang Fuchen said that the king of Liao only gave them the wages to maintain the family in order to help them save, otherwise they might drink all at once, saying that the wine is immeasurable, and now everyone has a ration of alcohol, and they can drink a little harmlessly, and the rest of the Liao kings will save for them, and when they are old and weak in the future, they don't have to worry about having no money to see a doctor and take medicine because of their profligacy when they were young, so they have to wait for death or something.

It's just that although the King of Liao helped everyone save, the little salary given still can't be spent indiscriminately, and the Liaomin Observer called on the people in the towns of Liaodong: Saving is a virtue, save all the money saved by thrift to the Bank of Liaodong, and the King of Liao will keep it for everyone for free.

Lin Dan Khan entered the customs several times, robbed millions of people from the pass, these people were basically all placed in Liaodong by him, most of them were turned into slaves by him, in order to encourage the work enthusiasm of slaves, Lin Dan Khan has a policy according to reclamation, planting, salt, grazing and other different jobs to obtain merit of different values, after accumulating enough, you can redeem yourself, and many people have become free people for decades, and even landlords have appeared in the first group of people to redeem themselves.

"In the past, it was said that slaves were given food, clothing and clothing, and the gains were handed over to the master without pulling a piece, so why did the slaves be allowed to redeem themselves, that is, they had to give them hope, otherwise they would run away, make trouble or even rebel, and even the cowardly would not work well." After Wang Fuchen came to report the latest progress in opening up the people's wisdom again, Wu Sangui suddenly sighed with emotion: "But with this newspaper of the Duke of Qi and these words he invented...... Zhu Hongwu could only turn all the craftsmen into slaves, and now the whole Liao is in the hands of this king, and everyone is jubilant and working hard. The talent of Qi Gong, although the ancient sages are not great? ”

……

"You actually killed my savior!"

Xu Ping was furious, this time he went to Shandong to repay his wishes, and found that Zhong Guinian had just executed Xiucai, who had taken him in to recuperate.

"This thief gathers a crowd to make trouble and plots against ......"

"Is he wrong?" Xu Ping unceremoniously interrupted Zhong Guinian's self-defense, and recently some southern businessmen have set up factories here in Shandong, recruiting boys to work at very low wages, engaged in planting, drying salt, weaving, and making pottery, and various kinds of work, including mining and transporting stones. Many children have died because of this, and some gentry have gathered to make trouble, trying to blast these factories out of Shandong, and inciting the people to smash factories and burn warehouses: "Why don't you ignore the death of so many children who have not yet become adults?" ”

"These factories are not deceived and coaxed," Zhong Guinian shouted grievances, these factories still have cadres in Shandong, which is of great financial significance to Shandong, and the burning of so many factories makes Zhong Guinian feel so distressed that he can't sleep at night: "One side pays money, one side contributes, what's wrong with that?" ”

"I don't know what's wrong, but the boy who didn't become a child died and was crippled so much, there must be something wrong, you are the defense envoy of Shandong, you don't speak for the people, but protect those black-hearted businessmen, did you accept the stolen money from those businessmen?"

"Alright, sir." Chen Zhe couldn't listen to it anymore and jumped out to play a round.

"The general will stop spewing blood! If you hadn't borrowed money from these merchants in the first place, where would you get your military funds in the north, General? If you don't cooperate with them to set up a factory, how can you spend these three years of exemption? How to repay the money" Zhong Guinian was furious, pushed Chen Zhe away, pointed at Xu Ping's nose and asked: "General, are you the official of Dashun, or the official of these people?" ”
