Chapter 0026 - Tricks
Zhu Chengjun walked out of the mansion with Yun Yingsleeve, and saw that Xu Xiao had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
When he saw the heroic beauty holding a long sword, Xu Xiao couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to his eldest brother, and it only took one night to subdue the legendary martial arts beauty, and said in his heart: Big brother is big brother!
Yun Yingsleeve noticed Xu Xiao's grotesque expression, and a pair of pretty eyes glared coldly as a warning.
Under Yun Yingsleeve's cold eye warning, Xu Xiao's hands and feet trembled involuntarily, and he suddenly felt a chill in his back.
Zhu Chengjun got into the carriage and saw Yun Yingsleeve sitting in his own seat as a matter of course, and sighed in his heart: he was not polite to himself at all. The small and closed carriage was filled with the fragrance of Yun Ying's sleeves, and Zhu Chengjun felt that this fragrance seemed to be stronger and more attractive than last night's.
Yun Ying's sleeves raised her wrist slightly, took off the white veil covering her face, glanced at Zhu Chengjun with bright eyes, and asked softly, "Do you have the intention to join the White Lotus Sect?" The White Lotus Sect is in dire need of talents like you, and with my recommendation, you will definitely have a bright future in the future. ”
Since learning that Zhu Chengjun was not exclusive to the White Lotus Sect, Yun Yingsleeve had the idea of recruiting him to the altar last night.
Zhu Chengjun smiled faintly and said bluntly: "Sister thinks that with the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, she can purify all sentient beings? ”
Zhu Chengjun of the White Lotus Sect in history has heard a little, and their teachings are used to confuse the ignorant and ignorant people in the closed and backward areas, and it is really necessary to use them to drive people who have broadened their horizons and have the ability to think independently. The doctrine is superstitious, vulgarized, and superficial, and the White Lotus Sect alone is destined to fail to become a general climate.
Although the White Lotus Sect was recognized and rewarded by the imperial court after the unification of the world in the Yuan Dynasty, after a long period of circulation, its doctrine and organization underwent subversive changes, with lax precepts, numerous sects, and different attitudes towards the authorities, and gradually began to embark on the road of rebellion against the authorities. After a total repression by the authorities after 1321 AD, the White Lotus was completely defined as synonymous with rebellion.
The influence of the White Lotus Sect is now on the rise, and although Zhu Chengjun does not disagree with its teachings in his heart, it is very necessary to maintain a long-term good cooperative relationship with it. Historically, the White Lotus Sect and Manichaeism (i.e., Mingjiao, Mingzun Sect) had a period of doctrinal fusion, and both religions later became strong forces against the rule of the Mongol Yuan.
With such a good fate, Zhu Chengjun believes that it is not only planted, but also deeply planted.
A high-level elite disciple of the White Lotus Sect like Yun Yingsleeve, who is equipped with martial arts skills, should maintain a long-term and stable relationship with him, as for how to maintain this relationship, the word 'money' is enough! White Lotus missionary and church building altar...... A staggering amount of funding is required. Since learning that these martial arts masters with strong martial arts skills are also inseparable from worldly property, Zhu Chengjun knew that he had found a way to talk to them on an equal footing, and the originally gloomy overhead suddenly felt like the clouds were clear.
Yun Yingsleeve hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The goal of purifying sentient beings is too ambitious, my White Lotus Sect has many disciples, and it is not a problem to become the master of one side with this strength. ”
In the heyday of the Mengyuan Dynasty, he was the master of one side? There is only one dead end.
Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said, "The people who have gathered together only by the demagogy of superficial vulgar teachings are just a tower of condensation, and as long as the tide washes away a little, it will disappear in an instant." ”
Seeing that Zhu Chengjun had many derogatory words about the White Lotus Sect, Yun Yingsleeve knew that what he said was true, so he was not displeased, and asked, "In your opinion, what should I do?" How can we build a church that will stand the test of history? ”
Zhu Chengjun swept away the scholar's elegance, his eyes instantly became heroic and dignified, and he said in a deep voice: "A word is sheltered, inclusive, and adapts to the times." By making the doctrine a universal value that suits the trend of the times today and even in the future, the White Lotus Sect will definitely become another major school of thought that stands side by side with the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. ”
Yun Yingsleeve saw that Zhu Chengjun was speaking seriously, so she immediately covered her lips and giggled, and said with a wink: "You shouldn't be a businessman, you should come to my White Lotus Sect to be the sect leader." ”
Zhu Chengjun didn't care, and said: "When the head of a sect can directly influence the people is very limited, money is the peerless weapon to rule people, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, it is not a joke." ”
"Giggle...... That's true! But...... I'm afraid that those who take money can't even take knives. Yun Yingsleeve smiled, and then placed the sheathed sword across Zhu Chengjun's neck.
Zhu Chengjun smiled slightly, pulled away the long sword around his neck, and said jokingly: "Sister, you can kill me with one sword, wouldn't it be more straightforward to take all my money directly?" Kill me and kill the next one, and keep killing, then the wealth of the whole world will be yours alone? ”
This remark didn't seem to be serious, and Yun Yingsleeve's pretty eyes instantly fell into contemplation after hearing it.
Zhu Chengjun saw Yun Yingsleeve frowning and thinking seriously at the moment, and he was uncontrollably attracted to her.
Seeing Zhu Chengjun's obsessive look of falling for himself, Yun Yingsleeve moved over and stretched out his hands to hold Zhu Chengjun's chin, and said in a greasy voice: "In this life, you are in my hands." ”
Facing Yun Yingsleeve's teasing, Zhu Chengjun forced himself to calm down and turned his face away, and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Yun Yingsleeve withdrew her hand and said crisply: "If the White Lotus Sect escorts you, will it be like a tiger with wings for you?" ”
What Yun Yingsleeve said coincided with his own thoughts, and being able to find the armed forces willing to protect himself in this troubled world would undoubtedly be a huge help to the great cause in his heart. With the protection of such a big Buddha as the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Chengjun's heart has long been moved, but he can't show the slightest flattery at the moment.
Zhu Chengjun has his own pride, and he must not be at the mercy of others like a marionette, and it is impossible for him to join the White Lotus Sect and become its believer. Since each takes what he needs, in Zhu Chengjun's view, it is an equal cooperative relationship.
Zhu Chengjun did not mince words and said: "If the White Lotus Sect helps me to open up a business path, I firmly believe that the rewards and additional help I can give you will definitely be beyond imagination." ”
"Tell me about your conditions." Of course, Yun Yingsleeve will not let go of Zhu Chengjun's cash cow easily, and she has the intention of seeking talent.
Seeing that Yun Yingsleeve rarely lowered his posture, Zhu Chengjun put forward his conditions in a timely manner: "First, it is absolutely impossible for me to join the White Lotus Sect; Second, I have an equal relationship with the White Lotus Sect, and you can't dictate to me; Third, I need the White Lotus Sect to protect my personal safety; Fourth, that is, what you just mentioned, I need the power of the White Lotus Sect to help me open up the trade routes in Jingchu, Lianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Based on the above four points, in return I am willing to give a quarter of the money I can earn for the development and growth of the White Lotus Sect. ”
Yun Yingsleeve blinked a pair of bright eyes, as if smiling: "Gone?" ”
Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said, "That's all." ”
Yun Yingsleeve immediately promised, and said, "I can completely win the four you said for you." Yun Yingsleeve paused, thought for a moment and then said: "A quarter is too little, it must be half!" ”
"No way!" Zhu Chengjun refused bluntly, and the firmness of his tone did not allow the slightest room for return, and then said: "I resolutely do business that violates my personal purpose and wishes, the money earned from legitimate business is already limited, if you want to maintain the normal operation of a huge money-making machine, no one is indispensable for money, and giving a quarter of the wealth to the White Lotus Sect is infinitely close to my limit, my sister shouldn't want me to work for you hungry." In the end, Zhu Chengjun cried with a sad face.
"Giggle...... Why is my brother so careless. Yun Yingsleeve raised the green jade and pointed at Zhu Chengjun's forehead, laughing and trembling.
was teased by this goblin again, Zhu Chengjun stared sideways, and his eyes soon fell on the crook of Yun Yingsleeve's arm, the clothes she was wearing were already a little tight, and the curve on her chest became more and more abrupt, Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but look at it and found that her size was so amazing.
"Eyeballs and dishonest." Yun Yingsleeve noticed Zhu Chengjun's strange gaze, and turned over angrily.
Zhu Chengjun retracted his gaze, smiled, and said, "As I expected, your White Lotus Sect high-level people have already secretly contacted the Mengyuan Imperial Court, and it is going quite smoothly. ”
Yun Yingsleeve cast a vigilant look at Zhu Chengjun, a pair of wonderful eyes couldn't hide the surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "How do you know!" ”
The corners of Zhu Chengjun's mouth hooked up a conceited smile, and he was silent, giving Yun Yingsleeve an unfathomable look.
At this point, the carriage slowed down and soon stopped.
"Big brother, it's here." Xu Xiao said through the carriage curtain.
"Zhu Gongzi has arrived!"
As soon as Zhu Chengjun bent down and walked out of the carriage door, countless pairs of eyes were cast at him in an instant.
Glancing at the crowd that had been waiting in front of the Changxing ticket number court for a long time, Zhu Chengjun immediately jumped out of the carriage, and out of gentlemanly demeanor, Zhu Chengjun stretched out his hand for Yun Ying's sleeve to support. Yun Yingsleeve, who hung the veil, glanced at Zhu Chengjun angrily, and did not appreciate it, and jumped down with a slight bend of the embroidered legs.
Shen Ze saw that Zhu Chengjun was late, in order to deal with this group of crazy panic buyers, so that he could be busy.
As soon as he walked into the hall, Zhu Chengjun saw Lu Zuan, who had been sitting and waiting for a long time. Seeing that Lu Zuan was lightly dressed, it was not difficult for Zhu Chengjun to guess the purpose of his trip, which was nothing more than wanting to experience it with his own eyes, and he secretly taught by the way.
Glancing at the people present, Zhu Chengjun did not see Zhang Hongcheng's figure, and then turned his eyes to Lu Zuan, only to see him nod lightly in a coping manner, signaling that it was time for him to officially start.
Zhu Chengjun and Yun Yingsleeve came to the door of the Changxing ticket number together, stretched out their hands to suppress the speculators who had been waiting impatiently, and said loudly: "The bank has printed 50,000 grain stamps this time, each of which can be exchanged for 1,000 catties of real grain, and the initial price of a single grain coupon is the same as today's grain price, five taels or six yuan, you are welcome to buy it." ”
Five taels or six dollars are exchanged for grain stamps for 1,000 catties of grain, and as far as the current grain price is concerned, this price is already the price of conscience.
With the precedent of charcoal coupons, many people have tasted the sweetness.
"Wait!" At this time, there was a very inappropriate sound in the crowd.
Zhu Chengjun glanced at several rich children who came up with charcoal coupons, but he didn't know what they thought.
"The notice of the Changxing ticket number says that the charcoal coupons can be converted into grain coupons first, dare to ask Zhu Gongzi, is it true?"
"That's right! Must give us priority redemption! ”
"Priority purchase with charcoal coupons!"
…………
No one cared about the charcoal coupons falling below the initial price, which made the rich children who were still holding the charcoal coupons in their hands sad in the end. Fortunately, the conversion price of the charcoal coupons for grain stamps is quite fair, although the losses are very heavy, as long as they can get the first price of the food stamps first, their losses can be recovered in a short time, and they can even make a small profit.
Zhu Chengjun raised his hand, and then said: "Credit is the foundation of the Changxing ticket number, and the notice posted in black and white is of course credible. Zhu Chengjun immediately gave Shen Ze a look.
"Zhu Gongzi, there are only 50,000 food stamps, which can't satisfy everyone's appetite at all."
"If it is like the previous issue of carbon coupons, all we get are high-priced charcoal coupons that have been transferred several times, and this time we will say that we will not be fooled by anything!"
…………
People complained.
"Lift it up!" Zhu Chengjun gave an order, and the Changxing ticket number guy moved a three-foot-high box.
Seeing the box wrapped in this big red cloth, people can't help but wonder what mystery is hidden inside.
Zhu Chengjun glanced left and right, and said, "In order to ensure that everyone can buy first-hand cheap food stamps, I specially ordered someone to make this box." Then he paused, and then said: "The bamboo plaques are marked with the food stamps that everyone can buy, ranging in size from five to five hundred. ”
"Dare to ask Zhu Gongzi, is the sum of all the subscription vouchers enough to be 50,000 food stamps!"
The bright-eyed man then voiced his doubts, and the enthusiastic speculators could not help pricking up their ears and waiting for the following.
Zhu Chengjun smiled and said, "The amount of the subscription voucher is forty-five thousand, you should be able to accept it." ”
"So what are you waiting for! Let's get started! "There was a lot of noise in the crowd.
Zhu Chengjun gave Xu Xiao a look, Xu Xiao immediately understood, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Line up!" Pay attention to the order of the scene! It's all a matter of luck, and it's useless to be in a hurry! ”
"Ten ......" The first person to come up to draw lots shook his head in disappointment.
"Five? I'll go! ”
"Twenty!"
…………
"One hundred! Ha ha...... I'm rich! ”
…………
Zhu Chengjun came to the corridor on the second floor with Yun Yingsleeve, and looked down at the customers who walked in the lobby with excitement to hand over the silver.
Yun Yingsleeve whispered in Zhu Chengjun's ear: "You didn't do anything?" ”
"Let's not do anything to deceive people, the box is indeed a subscription voucher for 45,000 taels of food stamps." Zhu Chengjun said truthfully.
"Where are the other five thousand?" Yun Yingsleeve frowned and asked with her good-looking eyebrows.
Zhu Chengjun sighed slightly, and said bitterly: "If you don't give some sweetness to being an official, can you do things smoothly?" ”
Yun Yingsleeve deeply agreed with this, thinking of those who begged Zhang Hongcheng to do things, and she stuffed silver in her hand. Yun Yingsleeve was still skeptical, and said, "Are you really so honest?" ”
Zhu Chengjun pouted in his heart, forced his composure, counted with his fingers, and said: "If the 45,000 grain stamps are sold out smoothly, the cumulative profit is 252,000 taels of silver, and the 151,200 taels promised to you, I will not lose a penny of silver." ”
One hundred and fifty-one thousand two hundred and twenty taels of silver! Hearing this number, Yun Yingsleeve's eyes couldn't help but be full of starlight.
Zhu Chengjun saw that Yun Yingsleeve was fooled by himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
