Chapter 1015: Careful Calculation
On the other side of the capital, find Uncle Pang Guo to do business. The Pang family is a lion with a big mouth! A thousand taels of silver is not enough.
If you want to leave Jinzhou and go to Jiangnan to become an official, you need at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
These Jingguan were all born into a large family. They are not a family. The wives they married were all big families, big merchants, tens of thousands of taels of silver. In their eyes, they are all small money.
Li Yan is a poor official, in a poor place, where can he get so much money?
If he can't be on the right path, he will have to think about the wrong path.
So, half a year ago, Li Yan got in touch with this Abdu through a subordinate of the Liao people. He searched for information in Jinzhou and handed it over to Abdu. These two people should be together inside and out. Half of the money they robbed!
In the past six months, the two have worked together on more than a dozen cases.
Of course, Li Yan did not dare to deal with big businessmen, especially those who had connections with the capital.
The objects he chooses are all ordinary backgrounds.
There have always been bandits in Jinzhou. Even if something goes wrong with the caravans with ordinary family backgrounds, they will come here to report the officials, and he has a way to deal with them.
In any case, in the last six months, after the completion of these ten cases, a total of almost ten thousand taels of silver has been obtained. Li Yan gave half of it to Abdu, and he also got four or five thousand taels himself.
Most of the money was sent to the other side of the capital for activities.
However, there is a message that silver is not enough!
The classmate also reminded Li Yan that he should take more money and settle things in one step.
Otherwise, one or two thousand taels, in the eyes of those big people, is nothing, but given to others for nothing, it is useless!
Therefore, Li Yan wants to make a big one.
In order to gather accurate information, Li Yan had people secretly buy beggars in Jinzhou.
The Beggar Gang is an organization. Although they are all beggars on the street, they usually walk the street and hear a lot of news.
Through these news, Li Yanren accurately grasped the movements of these merchants in the city.
Who came, who left, and when did they go? All this information is under Li Yan's control.
Because Li Yan wants to be a big vote, he also has a lot of choices.
At first, he focused on the caravan of the Di family.
He had long heard that in the past two years, the Di family had made great progress in Jinzhou. The Di family is a ducal family with a huge career. If you want to extort, you might get a lot of money!
However, it is too risky to do so.
The Di family is rich, but they also have great power. If the matter is not handled cleanly, I am afraid that his life will not be saved, let alone go to the officials to make money!
It's too risky, too risky.
Therefore, Li Yan thought about going and thought that he could not do anything to the Di family.
However, he didn't move the people of the Di family, who should he move this time?
A small order of one or two thousand taels. He thinks it's too slow to get the money!
This time, make a big one!
Soon, he found his goal.
Yes. This is the little master of the Lu family's Baicao Hall!
Li Yan was familiar with the merchants of Jinzhou. He knew that the Lu family was engaged in medicine and had done a lot.
In addition, the Lu family is mainly engaged in business. Although they knew the officials, the Lu family basically did not take a career in office.
As a result, Lu Weichuan was in a difficult situation, and Lu Weichuan's family background was not solid. If Lu Weichuan is tied up, he will definitely get a large ransom!
At that time, he also pretended to rescue as many as he could, but in the end, there was no way. The bandits are too fierce, they can't save Lu Weichuan's life. He's done his best in this matter, so he can't blame him!
When he takes the money, someone will walk around the capital. It won't be long before he can take office in Jiangnan. Jinzhou has nothing to do with him!
