Shuiyun City, a branch of Yuzhou Chamber of Commerce

Before Chu Qianqiu went to Yanyu City to quell the rebellion, he did not lead his team in a hurry, but summoned the richest merchants and big families in Shuiyun City.

It's impossible to fight a war and make yourself pay for it.

According to the tradition of the Shenwu Dynasty, the generals would ask the big families for money.

This is also a matter of course, Chu Qianqiu's 10,000 guards are all soldiers, of course, it is impossible for 10,000 people to rush towards Yanyu City in a big way.

They also need supplies along the way, as well as logistical support.

Chu Qianqiu's army is not a locust, and he can eat wherever he goes, so he must arrange auxiliary soldiers, which also requires the assistance of big families and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life.

"General Chu, the Liu family is willing to give two million taels of silver and fifty thousand horses of silk to help the army."

The representative of the Liu family this time is still Liu Heng, the head of the original Liu family, although he gave up the position of head of the family to Liu Ruxin, and he can bring the squires up on this occasion.

Liu Heng opened his mouth, and the businessmen took a deep breath.

Don't look at Chu Qianqiu's tens of millions of taels of silver flowing up and down at every turn, that's because he is playing a high-end game, facing the richest group in the empire, and the current Shuiyun City is not all rich people like the Liu family.

He donated two million taels at the beginning, what did this make for others?

[This Liu family master is also too much, don't you leave a way for others to live? ] 】

[He is no longer the head of the Liu family, the Liu family has been replaced, and he has been replaced by Lord Liu Ruxin, the original shopkeeper of Qixiu Pavilion. 】

What's going on? 】

[Your news is too ill-informed, just yesterday. 】

[It's just that the Liu family handled it in a low-key manner, and there was no high-profile publicity. 】

[Then how dare he donate so much silver? 】

[You are really amazing, Lord Liu Ruxin is the concubine of General Chu Xinna, don't you know? ] 】

[There is such a thing, no wonder the Liu family is willing to pay so much money. 】

These businessmen are not powerless, and at worst, they are also masters of gas storage on the rivers and lakes, leading figures, and they naturally know how to use secret techniques to transmit sound and chat privately.

After chatting about this, he began to secretly scold the Liu family for not following the rules.

It is okay to donate money, but it is not appropriate to donate that much money.

The Liu family raised the tone so high at the beginning, how do you let other people live?

"The Liu family is doing a great job."

"This time, the labor army is to protect the territory and the people."

"After the rebellion is put down, those who donate military funds will be rewarded for their merits."

Chu Qianqiu didn't care about the money on them, but looked at an attitude.

Do you want to mess with me, or don't mess with me?

Through this rebellion of the Zhenbei Army, a thorough baptism was carried out in the shopping malls and officialdom of Yuzhou.

Lingzhou has been washed once, Fengzhou has also been washed, and now in these two places, Chu Qianqiu's speech is very effective, and he can top a hundred sentences in one sentence.

He hadn't planned to purge Yuzhou yet, but now that King Jing had started, Chu Qianqiu was going to completely wipe out his influence.

There can only be one master in Yuzhou, not the Cui family, not King Jing, not the six doors, but he Chu Qianqiu.

"Ciguang Temple is willing to donate 500,000 taels of silver and 20,000 quintals of rice to help the military."

"General Long is the victim of the demon of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and you must not speculate!"

While everyone was hesitating, the abbot of Ciguang Temple expressed the attitude of Buddhism towards this matter.

The matter of General Long, spreading the word will not only damage the face of the imperial court, but also have no place to put the face of Zen Master Zuyuan.

At the beginning, it was the Mahaji Temple as a guarantor, assuring the world of General Long's safety, but as a result, General Long's safety went wrong.

This matter can't be too detailed, otherwise everyone will lose face.

Originally, Tianji Pavilion was carried by the pot, it's hello, I'm good, everyone's good.

The imperial court admitted that the protection was not effective, and carried part of the pot, and Wanshou Temple also stood up for self-examination, and the Shenwei Army took control of the power and obtained the guilty edict of Her Majesty the Empress, and the matter was revealed.

As a result, King Jing is ready to bring up the old matter again, Buddhism must not be recognized, otherwise the matter will be much more serious, who will still believe in the guarantee of Buddhism in the future?

Therefore, before the Zuyuan Zen Master arrived in Yuzhou, he urgently contacted the abbot of Ciguang Temple and asked him to choose to take sides.

With the opening of Ciguang Temple, the price in the hearts of other big families has increased by another layer.

It's not that they won't make an offer, it's up to the other leaders to make a bid.

"Beigong Commercial Bank is willing to donate 500,000 taels of silver and 40,000 quintals of rice."

Before the others could react, Beigong Yu, the shopkeeper of Beigong Commercial Bank, said his price without hesitation, almost with all his might.

[Beigong Commercial Bank, it has only recently developed, I'm afraid all their assets are so much. 】

[Is this a big gamble?] 】

[The matter of Beigong Commercial Bank's assistance to Fengzhou is very positive, could it be that they want to jump on General Chu's ship? ] 】

The others were taken aback, this trading house had only begun to exert its strength in the last few months, buying land, manors, and shops everywhere, and it was said that it had found some treasure and made a fortune.

Could it be that the general's order is so valuable, in the past, when the army was dispatched, everyone donated tens of thousands of taels to each other was already very sincere.

As soon as General Chu came, they were ready to go bankrupt.

Is this a donation of money?

It's clearly a matter of playing with life.

And Chu Qianqiu glanced at Beigong Yu more, and the other party responded with an extremely humble salute, which was the courtesy mode of his subordinates to the lord.

Beigong Firm, is it my property?

Seeing this, Chu Qianqiu seemed to have a little memory, and hurriedly asked his eldest wife Huang Xiaoxiao, who was far away in Lingzhou.

[Xiaoxiao, do you remember Beigong Commercial House? 】

[Husband, your memory is really getting worse and worse. 】

Huang Xiaoxiao was dealing with family affairs in the study, and when he suddenly heard Chu Qianqiu's words, he couldn't help but smile.

[Isn't this what the husband said, the Beigong Commercial House that wants to help them? ] (Note: Chapter 336)

[It happened that the Chu family's business house was going to expand, and in order to avoid being aggressive, the concubine sent someone to cooperate with them. 】

[At that time, the Beigong Commercial Bank was about to go bankrupt, so the concubine bought them. 】

[Now they are the Chu family's subordinate institutions in Yuzhou. 】

[Naturally, I will pay money to my husband. 】

Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized, and said with a smile:

[The lady is worthy of being a virtuous helper for her husband, and when she deals with the matter of Yuzhou, she will go back as soon as her husband. 】

[Phew, my husband is not serious. 】

[This time the Zhenbei Army rebelled, and the husband should be careful at sea. 】

[The information investigated by the Cui family's sister, the movements of the sailors of the Heavenly Sword Gate are unknown, and they are going to make a big deal at sea. 】

Huang Xiaoxiao said solemnly, she controls the intelligence network of the entire Chu family, including the part of Huang Qianhu, and sometimes it is even better than the intelligence network of the imperial court, especially the news at sea.

[Rest assured, no matter how many enemies come, they will never return. 】

Chu Qianqiu smiled and said, at this time, the atmosphere of donation has risen, and all merchants are enthusiastic to donate, not to be left behind.

"Five grains and grains, willing to give 150,000 taels of silver and 100,000 quintals of rice to help the army."

"Piaoxiang Tea Shop, I am willing to give 100,000 taels of silver and 100 quintals of tea to help the military."

……

After all the businessmen had pledged to donate, Chu Qianqiu said in conclusion.

"Everyone is doing a good job, this heart of fist, Chu has a heart."

"This time Yuzhou suppressed the rebellion, it is naturally a downward movement, and it will not let Yuzhou have any losses."

"Willing to serve the general!"

"Very good, then the head of the Liu family still has the Huang shopkeeper of the Piaoxiang Tea Store left."

"The others are received by General Yang, and every penny you donate, Chu will keep it in mind."

As soon as Chu Qianqiu's words fell, the face of the shopkeeper of the Piaoxiang Tea Store [Tea Yellow Buds] changed.
