Yang Xin resolutely decided to go to the meeting despite everyone's opposition.

Even Xu Xianchun admired Yang Xin's courage, and was very respectful to Yang Xin along the way.

Yang Xin was also uneasy in his heart, he had been planning for so long, just waiting for this moment, to force Chongzhen to negotiate terms with himself, he didn't believe that Chongzhen dared to turn his face with himself at this moment, if this is the case, then Chongzhen not only has one more enemy, but the entire Donglin Party will also raise troops against him, plus the Qing Dynasty soldiers are pressing, Nanming is not far from death.

The night in the palace is also very cold, and there are still two days to go before the New Year, Yang Xin hopes to draw a complete end to his first year in this world.

Yang Xin saw Chongzhen for the first time, and saw a middle-aged man with most of his hair spending 100, I really can't imagine that this person is only in his thirties this year.

However, his face was ruddy at this time, but he looked more energetic, wearing a dragon robe, and he still had a majesty.

"You are Yang Xin?"

Chongzhen was also looking at it, and said lightly.

Yang Xin smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I know what you want, now let's talk about the conditions below." ”

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment and said, "You know? Let's hear it! ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "You want the grain in my hand to stabilize the price of grain in Nanjing City, and at the same time let the Donglin Party go bankrupt, hehe, you can easily meet your wishes." ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "You are very confident, but you guessed it right, I do think so, tell me about your conditions." ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "First, you can buy back the grain at the original price, and return the silver I bought for the grain." ”

Chongzhen nodded without hesitation and said, "It's fair, go ahead." ”

Yang Xin continued: "Second, cancel the marriage contract between the princess and Zheng Chenggong, and marry the princess to me!" ”

Chongzhen's face showed anger, and said, "You are too ignorant of advance and retreat, can't I do anything to you?" ”

Yang Xin smiled proudly: "If you dare to do it, why do you have to come and talk to me about the conditions, isn't it easier to do it directly?" ”

Chongzhen sat down dejectedly and said: "Okay, you do play better than me, I admit it, the princess will give it to you, but remember it for me, the next time it falls into my hands, I will also get this face back, I have to ask you for a favorite woman!" ”

Yang Xin was stunned, Chongzhen's words felt a little strange, and he agreed so easily.

"Aren't you afraid that Zheng Chenggong will hate you because of this and turn against you?"

Chongzhen laughed and said, "It seems that you still know him, he recently found a foreign girl, he is very addicted, and he won't remember the princess." ”

Yang Xin was angry and said: "It is said that the heavenly family is ruthless, and the princess is unlucky to have a father like you!" ”

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Why are you so serious?" It's just for fun, so be it, I agreed, I will send the princess to Daxing Qianzhuang tomorrow, let's end it quickly, I'm very annoying, Qinggou called again, it's really nerve-wracking. ”

Yang Xin was so angry that he was about to throw off his sleeves, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you like me, and you also crossed over from the afterlife?" ”

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Crossing? Well, you can understand it that way, I'm from the same place as you, but you seem to be working against me all the time and don't give me any face. ”

Yang Xin sneered and said: "Since you are here, you will be your emperor, you return the princess to me, I will not do it right with you, I will help you pit the Manchu Qing Dynasty when I am free, but I may not be free in the near future, I am ready to fight the Japanese country, you can do it yourself!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring the person who was also crossing.

There's nothing to talk about, the Tao is not the same, looking at Chongzhen's actions, it's a bit bold, but it's too affectionate for his daughter, since he has crossed over, how can it be used as fun? You have to do it well, right?

Yang Xin is now more and more sure that Li Zicheng must also be a traverser, he doesn't understand why there are so many traversers, but since he can cross, why can't others, it seems that there is no need for any reason.

The next day, the grain shops in Daxing stopped selling grain stamps in Nanjing, and all the grain shops opened by Dongchang were sold out for one tael of silver and one stone, and the people in Daxing grain shops did not continue to sweep the goods, and all the people in line bought grain, and these stores did not sell out of grain in the evening.

Those people with food stamps were uneasy, they all gathered in the Daxing grain shop and refused to leave, Uncle Tian was surrounded by Qian Tianen and others had no choice, so he had to say: "The money that the owner sweeps the goods is not enough, their goods are too much, we can't eat them, and we can't do anything about it." ”

Qian Tianen was shocked and said, "Shopkeeper, you don't sell food stamps, so don't you recycle food stamps?" ”

Uncle Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Our silver has been used to sweep the goods, where is the silver to buy back the food stamps?" When food falls, we also lose money. ”

The grain stores of the Donglin Party are still holding on, and they will not fall in price, but no one goes to their grain stores to buy grain, and some people even go to the grain stores opened by Dongchang to buy goods, and then add ten cents to resell grain on the street where their grain stores are located.

The price of the Donglin Party grain shop has not fallen, the price of food stamps has fallen sharply, from the original 13 taels and one bucket, it fell to around 10 taels in one day, and no one took over, but the price was too low, and no one was willing to sell, so it barely maintained the price of ten taels.

……

Daxing Qianzhuang, Xu Xianchun brought a large pile of brocade guards, escorted the princess, and more than 20 million taels of silver, Yang Xin sold the 300,000 stone grain he bought from Jiangxi and Wuchang to Chongzhen at the original price, without making him a penny.

The princess grew a little taller, but at the same time thinner.

Yang Xin was heartbroken when he saw it, and as soon as he entered the door, he took the princess's hand, reluctant to let go.

Xu Xianchun coughed beside him and said, "King Xing, the people and the silver seat have been handed over to you, as for the grain?" ”

Yang Xin said to Wei Wu on the side: "You take Father-in-law Xu to go!" ”

After speaking, he took a stack of silver tickets, which were 50,000 taels, and gave them to Xu Xianchun.

Xu Xianchun was overjoyed, and hurriedly hid in his sleeves, he didn't make less money on this trip, he earned nearly 30,000 taels of food stamps last time, and this time he got a bribe of 50,000 taels from Yang Xin, although Chongzhen is now very strict with corruption, but he sent the princess over, and he didn't have to do bad things to collect cashiers, so he naturally received it with peace of mind, and he was not afraid of being reported at all, which can be said to be a reward given by Yang Xin happily.

Xu Xianchun hurriedly led people to follow Wei Wu to get food.

As soon as Xu Xianchun left, the princess immediately threw herself into Yang Xin's arms, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.

Yang Xin didn't know what to say, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they suddenly met, they had nothing to say.

But the princess spoke first, and said, "I heard that you have made a lot of money this time, so show me the account book." ”

Yang Xin was speechless for a moment, the princess's character of loving silver has never changed, and she counts silver as soon as she meets.

Yang Xin had no choice but to send someone to ask Uncle Tian to go back to Qianzhuang to settle the accounts, and the matter was over, and it was no fun for Uncle Tian to stay in the Daxing Grain Store in Qinhuai River, but he was surrounded by those rich second generations who lost money.

Uncle Tian left one man to look after the shop, and all the others withdrew, and even the beautiful maidservant was gone.

After a while, the shopkeepers of the ten grain shops returned, and everyone was excited to see the princess.

The princess sat in the lobby seriously, and when she came back, she handed over the account book and cleared the accounts, just like when she was in the capital, when the caravans returned to the camp, she looked very seriously, which made Yang Xin's heart itch and scratch, and she didn't want to find a chance to get close to the princess, so she had to accompany her to point out and explain some problems with the accounts, after all, the princess was not very familiar with the business of food stamps.

All the shopkeepers gathered in the lobby, chatting excitedly, waiting for the princess's inspection.

The happiest is Aunt Chen, she offended Fan Yuxuan last time, and now that the princess is back, she no longer has to be afraid of Fan Yuxuan, and naturally she has become a fan of the princess.

It wasn't until dinner that the princess roughly calculated the accounts, closed the account book, and said excitedly: "Oh my God, what have you done, you have actually earned 30 million taels of silver!" ”

Everyone cheered, Yang Xin smiled and said: "It's still the same as the capital, we fry grain, but here is 10 million to be distributed to Fan Yuxuan, it was agreed before, we will give 20 million, the Fan family will give 10 million, and she will share one-third." ”

Aunt Chen was not happy, and said: "King Xing, her 10 million is not used at all, and we still give her so much, isn't it a loss?" ”

Several shopkeepers echoed: "Yes, a total of more than 10 million taels was invested, of which the main one was a loan of 8 million to Dashun, and it cost less than 3 million to buy grain. ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "We do business, operate in good faith, and say that the partnership is good, whether it is used or not, it must be according to the rules, everyone does not need to say it, it is so decided." ”

Everyone couldn't, Yang Xin decided, and no one dared to object.

Uncle Tian asked again: "King Xing, this matter is over, will our grain shop in Nanjing City continue to open?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Aunt Chen said: "This time, so many people have lost their money and lost their property, who still comes to speculate on food stamps, naturally it will be withdrawn!" ”

The crowd echoed in unison.

Yang Xin shook his head and said: "Aunt Chen, this time you are afraid that you are wrong, our grain shop will continue to open, continue to sell food stamps, as the so-called gambling may not lose, gamblers are most afraid of not losing money, but no gambling, they see this crazy speed of making money, they will be hooked, and finally can not extricate themselves." ”

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Yang Xin to do such a big ticket and not stop, Yang Xin continued: "As the so-called leeks cut a stubble, new leeks will grow back, and when the time comes, we will continue to cut, Jiangnan is a rich place, we can't give up this market." ”

Uncle Tian nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "King Xing, after this time, many of our shopkeepers and guys have learned how to operate, and next time they will be able to stand alone." ”

Yang Xin nodded and said: "Tomorrow is the New Year, give each person thirty taels of red envelopes, the shopkeeper and more than 100 households will send one hundred taels, we have a good Spring Festival, after the Spring Festival, the army will return to Daxing, Uncle Tian, you choose a team of people to stay and continue to operate the Daxing grain shop." ”

Everyone cheered, and the hard work of many days was swept away.

Finally, when everyone left, Yang Xin got the opportunity to be alone with the princess, and the two hugged affectionately, and Yang Xin was reluctant to let go.

"We will get married when we return to Daxing this time, and I want you to be my princess!"

Yang Xin muttered.

The princess nodded shyly, her eyes full of tears of happiness, and said, "Brother Yang, it feels like a dream, and I thought I would never see you again in this life." ”

Yang Xin patted her on the shoulder and said, "How come?" Little fool, Brother Yang will never give up. ”

The two chatted in the room until late at night, telling each other about their experiences during this time, when it came to Li Zong giving his most beloved concubine to himself, Yang Xin was a little uneasy, but he didn't expect the princess to care, and said: "Brother Yang, it's okay, a manly husband, which one is not three wives and four concubines, not to mention that you are now a prince." ”

Yang Xin had to sigh that it was better to be in the old society of all evils, especially a woman like a princess who was born in the royal family, and she was more open than ordinary people in this regard.

Finally, late at night, the princess reluctantly returned to her room next door.

……

The next day, when Xu Xianchun's Jinyi guards pulled a large pile of grain slowly through the city, everyone was shocked, the convoy of grain was endless, and it was nearly two million stones of grain, what a huge amount of grain.

There were no more crowds of people gathered in the grain stores on the street, and even the grain stores opened by the East Factory had many fewer people queuing, and the East Factory lowered the price of grain, reducing each bucket of grain to 9 yuan of silver.

The people shouted Long live His Majesty the Emperor, the grain shop managers of the Donglin Party were like sitting on a needle, and some individual grain shops could not bear the pressure and began to reduce prices, and a drop was directly from 13 taels of silver to 9 dollars of silver, otherwise they could not compete with the grain shops opened by Dongchang.

The local tyrants of the various grain shops were colorless, and the price of grain stamps collapsed overnight, dropping from ten taels of silver to one tael of silver per bucket on the same day.

Qian Tianen and the four of them stared blankly at the millions of stone food stamps in their hands disappearing, he didn't dare to sell them in large quantities now, otherwise, no one would be able to take over, and the price of food stamps would turn into waste paper within a day.

Even if it is the price of one or two silver, it is also secretly fooling some people who don't understand to take over, and a small amount of shipments can get back a little money.

You must know that the grain stamps of the Daxing grain shop are set at the end of the month at the price of one or two dollars to pick up the goods at the Daxing grain store, and now the price of grain outside has dropped to nine dollars of silver, only fools will go to pick up the goods, and the goods will only lose more, and they will be brought in at the price of one or two dollars, and then sold for nine dollars?

A large number of bankrupt people gathered in the Daxing grain shop, one by one with no faces, spitting bitter water on each other, and there were also a few lucky people, who successfully got rid of it at the highest price, earning dozens of times the profit, and becoming the legend of Nanjing City.

Today's Daxing grain shop, there is only one guy left every day, and the door is open as usual every day, and the tea is definitely gone, and no one can be busy, all of them are brought.

There are no food stamps to sell, and I am responsible for cleaning every day.

Qian Tianen sat at the table and sighed blankly, and suddenly, an old man next to him foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, Master Chen has had a heart attack!"

One person shouted, and a few enthusiastic people went over to watch, Qian Tianen didn't even look at it, and said self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, my son wants to jump into the river, who cares if Chen Laocai has a heart attack?" ”

"Hey...... Come and go quickly, Brother Qian looked away, and he should go to the casino to gamble once, this time we still blame ourselves for being too greedy, if we stop at the highest price, we are all top rich. ”

Zhang Gongzi sighed.

"Question, who knows that Your Majesty is so capable this time, it is said that the king of Yanping County sent a fleet to buy grain from various countries in the South Seas, where the four seasons are like summer, and the rice can ripen for three seasons a year, where will there be a shortage of food!"

Chen Gongzi gritted his teeth with hatred and wanted to scold Zheng Chenggong, but others were thinking about the people to stabilize food prices, and they couldn't scold him anyway.

"I heard that Huang Gongzi's family broke up yesterday, and the whole family hanged themselves!"

Zhao Gongzi said suddenly.

The other three smiled bitterly, and Qian Tianen said: "Hehe, who told him to borrow Ding Qiye's debt, with a monthly interest, even if the whole family sells it, he can't afford to pay it back!" ”

Zhang Gongzi said with a smile: "I heard that Ding Qiye's whole family was also hacked to death, and he released his debts, many of which he couldn't recover, and many of them were not his own money." ”

Qian Tianen laughed and said: "Who doesn't know, most of Ding Laoqi's money is from the eunuch leaders of the Nanjing Zhenfu Division, these pickled dogs are really ruthless, Ding Laoqi has earned them so many years of silver, there is no merit and hard work, just killing other people's whole families like this, it is really inhumane!" ”

Speaking of which, the four of them began to chat with relish again, there is nothing more than scolding the eunuchs to make these Donglin Party scholars happier, they are unlucky, and there are even more unlucky.

At this time, Master Chen, who was a heart attacker, was out of breath, and the guys from the Daxing grain store went to find two patrolling officials outside the door, stuffed one or two pieces of silver, and the officials carried the people out.

Everyone else in the store has a kind of rabbit dead fox sad feeling, the past was full of lively Daxing grain shop, now only twenty or thirty people are stationed every day, they now have no money in their hands, they can't afford to go to the casino Qinglou, so they have to bring a kettle to chat here to pass the time.

Occasionally, unsuspecting outsiders come in with the dream of getting rich overnight, and a group of people will flicker, and if they are lucky, they can sell some money for hundreds of dollars per bucket of food stamps, and no one asks each other about the price, everyone knows that the food stamps in their hands are already a piece of waste paper.

At this moment, a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a family member and a beautiful maidservant, walked in proudly, walked to the counter, and asked, "Man, when will your grain store issue new food stamps?" Isn't this issue of food stamps just a few days away? ”

The guy was stunned, he was the first to ask this today.

This person is the casino boy of the day, he began to collect food stamps on the first day, collected six stone food stamps on the first day, and then collected ten stone one after another, and spent all the one hundred taels of silver that day to gamble, these food stamps have been covered and not sold, sixteen stone food stamps, on the day of the highest price of thirteen taels and one bucket, the ghost made the god send it to sell, and actually earned two thousand taels of silver.

With the capital of one hundred taels, he earned more than two thousand taels of silver in just over half a month, such a cost-effective business, how could he not come again, in fact, the most profitable is the food stamps that he took on the first day, he has already touched the law, when he is a penny, he will collect it at any cost, and then casually, as long as he is not too greedy, he can earn a lot of silver by selling it at any time.
