Chapter 258: Selling Copper Coins
Qian Qianyi's behavior made Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Wei Duke Xu Jiujue, Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi, Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu, Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo and other Southern Capital nobles stunned.
Wang Duo and Mao Pixiang and other Donglin literati were also stunned.
What about the good death that is said to be shown to us? Why do you have to choose a way to die that is not afraid of the cold?
Li Xingzhi didn't care, if Qian Qianyi really dared to seek death, then history would not say that "the scalp is very itchy, and the hair should be braided".
"This is the great Confucian in the literary world that you respect? You are all my great Ming nobles, and you are resting with the country, if the government is controlled by such scum and scum, won't it break the foundation of our wait? ”
Li Xingyi looked at the nobles beside him with a straight face.
Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling said: "Peng Laibo is right, a leaf knows autumn, such a person without virtue and no line can achieve the high position of the Ministry of Rites, and the Donglin Party will also enshrine him as a famous minister and Confucian, this is to cut off the root of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao looked ashamed, he had always been good friends with Qian Qianyi and others.
Liu Kongzhao admired the shortcomings of the imperial court's governance, but he never imagined that Qian Qianyi would be so obscene.
Li Xingzhi raised his eyes and saw that everyone's faces were clear at a glance, and the only nobles sitting in history who could persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty were Chang Yanling and Liu Kongzhao.
Chang Yanling scattered all his family wealth after returning to his hometown, organized volunteers to fight against the Qing army, but Liu Kongzhao went to Zhoushan to defect to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, but he was the same as his ancestor Liu Bowen, he also had eyes, and when he saw the internal disputes within the Lu Wang regime, he knew that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and finally sailed to the South Seas with his family.
The rest of the Wei Duke Xu Yunjue, Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi and others were fooled by Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi when the Duoduo soldiers came to the city, and they collectively voted for the Qing army, but the end was not very good, all the savings of three hundred years were cheaper to the puppet Qing court, and the Xu family's mansion was even requisitioned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to become the criminal department yamen of Jinling.
"What Huaiyuan Marquis said is, if there is a big chaos today, it took Ben Bo more than half a year to exterminate a Zhang Xianzhong, but Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng are still there, according to the news from the Central Plains, Li Zicheng has been out of Shangluo, and is now active in Nanyang and Xinyang, although it is a small fight, but its rogue nature, it can be coerced by hundreds of thousands of people in less than half a year, and the Dongyu surrounded Jinzhou, the country and the dynasty used troops everywhere, and the household department has reached the point of being stretched, do you know how much silver Your Majesty allocated to suppress the thieves?"
"Didn't you give out forty thousand taels of silver? Ben Jue heard that His Majesty had also asked the provinces to allocate another 500,000 taels of silver to support the war. ”
After all, Xu Yunjue mastered the soldiers and horses of the southern capital, and he was not ignorant of the Huguang war.
Li Xingzhi laughed and said: "What can this bit of silver do, let alone the silver taken by the provinces?" More than 100,000 troops are mobilized, where don't spend money, just my Shandong Town's expedition this time, it cost 180,000 taels, and it is far from enough! ”
"Yes, Penglaibo, Benjue watched the soldiers on Yanziji yesterday, you are afraid that there are not 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong Town, Benjue heard that this time the Dongyu entered the Kou, slaughtered Jinan and Qingzhou several mansions, even Yanzhou also suffered, Yanshenggong's family was looted by the Dongjue, and I am nowhere to be found, where did you get the silver to support so many soldiers and horses?"
According to his estimates, Li Xingzhi has about 50,000 men and horses here, and there must still be some soldiers in the Shandong nest, and there are at least nearly 60,000 soldiers in Shandong.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk about it, Li Bangjie, you find two turtle dukes to lead the way for Ben Shuai to bring all the Qin Huai Bayan to Ben Bo, Li Bangjie, you let that Yang mother prepare a table of wine and food again, Ben Shuai has something important to negotiate with Wei Guogong."
After spending so much saliva, Zhu Guobi finally talked about the topic of silver, the nobles are so rich, since everyone shares weal and woe, it is good to invest in the Jingbei Army.
"Okay, good, good, let's go in and talk!"
Speaking of silver, Xu Yunjue obviously came to the spirit, he looked at his face, and knew that Li Xingzhi had the means to make money, so he was naturally overjoyed, although the Duke of Wei had silver, but no one would think that the silver was hot.
As for Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo and others who left in shame, Xu Yunjue was not afraid that they would go to the court, after all, Peng Laibo just slept with a prostitute, and he didn't cause any death.
Now that the court is worried about internal and external troubles, does the emperor have this spare time to take care of the matter of sleeping women in Penglaibo, it is nothing more than playing fifty boards each, and a penalty of one or two years.
"Go together, go together!"
Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu and Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo and others also came to the spirit, although they colluded with the civil official group left behind in the southern capital to make a lot of money, but after all, eggs can't just be put in one basket, and there is one more way to make money, which is naturally very happy.
Mother Yang was obviously pajamized by Li Bangjie, and Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi were speechless by the goddamn Penglaibo, and ran back in dismay, I don't know whether to impeach the imperial court, or to seek help from the children of the Restoration Society, or to shrink their heads and be a turtle, so this time they were particularly affectionate, and they re-arranged a good table in only two pillars of incense.
"Penglaibo, what kind of means do you have to make money, tell it, let's listen to it, and also bring it to us to make a fortune."
Obviously, Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, would not have the heart to drink and have fun, and when he entered the private room, he asked impatiently.
Li Xingzhi was not in a hurry, slowly poured himself a glass of wine, and said lightly: "Haimao!" ”
"Haimao?"
Xu Yunjue, Zhu Guobi and others glanced at each other, they knew about the sea trade, the southern gentry class relied on the support of the officials of the imperial court or some were the immediate family members of those important ministers to participate in it, and those who either earned a lot of money, or they themselves and others were inevitably involved, but not as much as those people.
"It seems that you have made enough money in the south, and you don't care about this income! However, the sea route to the south is occupied by Zheng Zhilong's son of a bitch, and you have to share it with the gentry, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the big deal! ”
Li Xingzhi didn't need to look at it to know that none of these nobles were clean on their buttocks, and Chang Yanling and Liu Kongzhao, who were loyal to the country in the end, both looked hesitant.
"What are the regulations of this sea trade over there in Shandong?"
Xu Yunjue will also react this way, Li Xingzhi's gang can support these tens of thousands of troops, and there must be a way of sea trade.
"Zheng Zhilong controls the southeast coast, and there are countless warships in his hands, how dare Ben Bo grab food in his mouth, but let this silk, tea and porcelain be transported to a few daimyo in the north of the Wa Kingdom, but according to the news from Dengzhou, the Wa State does not produce copper coins, and the copper coins used by my Daming Dynasty, I am considering buying a batch of copper coins to transport to the Wa Kingdom, do you think this thing can still be done?"
Without spending money, it will definitely not attract the attention of this group of rich nobles, exchanging copper coins for silver, there is almost no difference between buying and selling and robbing, so Xu Yunjue and others are all bright.
