Chapter 58 Sprinkle incense bait and fish for golden turtles

How could there be human rights in the feudal era, Xia Yuanji is bullying himself. Xu Qin understood why the Chinese pay attention to the truth that wealth is not revealed.

Zhu Di had already cut off a piece of meat in the matter of glass, but he didn't expect Xia Yuanji to raise his requirements for the field.

Don't underestimate Zhu Di Chao and these people, they may not have understood the truth before, or they dare not do it for various reasons.

But once they have seen it, it quickly becomes clear what's at stake. And summed up his own Confucian philosophy.

Xia Yuanji is a household secretary, and if others don't understand it, he must understand it.

In the first year, the income of the field was indeed not high, but this thing showed a geometric exponential growth. As long as the merchants of the Ming Dynasty go out and come back.

This tax will increase tenfold or eightfold. And these businessmen who have tasted the sweetness will be even more crazy. will become a beast of the wilderness.

It is conceivable that a few years later, Enshichang will be a chicken that lays golden eggs, and the tax revenue here alone will become a sea of gold and silver.

Xia Yuanji is not only a qualified household secretary, but also a capable minister who governs the country.

"The Rychang and the Shibo Division are the reins of this beast, controlling the incoming and outgoing sea trade, and those merchants will be used by the imperial court and His Majesty."

Xia Yuanji immediately entered the palace and reported the situation of the field to Zhu Di in detail, and directly rose to the perspective of governing the country.

At this time, he was very excited, and one policy order after another was formed in his head, but today he was only a peek at the leopard, and he could not form something organized.

"This kid is messing around, and he still has such an effect?" Zhu Di stroked his beard and said with relief.

Although he has not been governing the country for a few years, he also knows that if he wants to become an existence that surpasses Tang Taizong, this money is indispensable.

"Your Majesty, more than that, if this reins are used well, you can control the countries externally, and regulate the world internally."

Yang Shiqi, a scholar from Wenyuan Pavilion, was also there, and he stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

Xia Yuanji set his sights on strengthening the country and increasing his income. Yang Shiqi thought more, thinking about the Ming Dynasty and the world.

Wenyuan Pavilion is the cabinet of the Zhu Di Dynasty. After Xie Jin was demoted to Guangxi as a senator, the first scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion was Yang Shiqi.

He is now the head of the cabinet. The weight of speech is naturally different.

The three top politicians of the Ming Empire discussed this matter from a policy and philosophical point of view, and Xu Qin had no idea about it.

He wanted to make money wholeheartedly, and Xia Yuanji's words today made him very troubled. Lao Tzu wasted so much effort to do things, isn't it just to make money?

You old things have the right in your hands, and you cut me with a knife and a knife, do you want to be ashamed?

But Xia Yuanji is right, it's not a good thing to be remembered for money. Now Xu Qin is dressed in heavy armor and is sitting in the carriage.

The carriage was followed by twenty of his guards, and ten heavy carriages, in the direction of the city gates.

One million taels of the household department was taken away by Xia Yuanji, of which 400,000 taels were silver. There are also 600,000 taels that Xu Qin conjured up for him on the spot.

The Royal Silver directly mortgaged the loan and mortgage notes to the two Huai salt merchants for the second time. The merchants borrowed money for three cents, and mortgaged it to the two salt merchants for two cents.

Xia Yuanji personally looked at the representatives of the two Huai salt merchants, and Dai Deqing happily accepted the bill mortgage of 600,000 taels.

Then Xia Yuanji was given an IOU, guaranteeing that 600,000 taels would be released to the household within ten days.

It turns out that this note can also be mortgaged for borrowing? After Xia Yuanji understood, he was too shocked. How can you still play like this?

The credibility of the Royal Silver can also be used in this way. Xu Qin played a financial operation in front of him.

The rest was Xu Qin's silver, a full ten carts, and the ruts were biting the wheels deeply.

The team was about to enter the Dinghuai Gate, and Xu Qin's sweat was already soaking through his underwear. Nothing happened, and Xu Qin was very disappointed.

Just when he was disappointed, a rapid horse's hooves struck the earth from far and near, rapid and fierce, and it turned out to be the momentum of the charge.

"Enemy attack ......" Xu Fugui's mournful cry sounded.

Then there was a sharp sound of breaking the air, and a clangling sound came from the carriage. Apparently the arrow was fired at the carriage.

If it weren't for Xu Qin's preparation, the carriage would have thickened on all sides, and the feather arrows would have penetrated in.

The team was attacked at Dinghuai Gate. Out of the door rushed out a group of forty or fifty men.

A burst of feathered arrows covered it, and then he drew his sword and charged.

"Run." Xu Qin ordered directly.

Xu Fugui turned the carriage and pulled Xu Qin to run, and the remaining guards of the Wei Mansion still wanted to resist, but when they saw the little master running, they immediately lost their fighting spirit.

The guards chased the carriage and retreated rapidly, and the three coachmen who were driving the carriage did not know where to run.

The attacking horse team did not expect that it was just a volley, and a charge broke before it could reach the people in front of them.

This little grandfather of the Wei Mansion is really a coward, and the Wei Mansion is a soft persimmon without bones.

The horse team immediately drove three cars out of the door, and soon disappeared from the field of vision of the defenders of Dinghuai Gate.

The defenders of Dinghuaimen did not move from beginning to end, and only when the horse team was far away did they come out tremblingly.

But who are those people and what are they doing? Let's say it's a war, and there was no fight at all. said that there was no fighting, and it was obviously charging just now.

"What should I do?" The gatekeeper asked worriedly.

"What to do? What does it have to do with us? Mr. said with a sneer.

The gatekeeper's eyes turned to understand that nothing had happened. The water is too deep for me to participate in.

The team that had snatched the carriage joined up with another team outside the city, and the two teams together amounted to more than a hundred people.

Originally, what was prepared was to attack from inside and outside, directly eliminate the people of the Wei State Mansion, and take away the carriage and silver.

Who knew that when a charge, the people from the Wei Mansion ran directly, and there was no need for the people behind to respond.

The sturdy team escorted the ten carriages and walked in the direction of the Longjiang Shipyard. As long as you find the dock nearby, you can change your clothes on board.

The team broke up and dispersed, and everything was seamless. The battle is over.

If that's a battle, of course.

"The boss is so fucking addicted, why is the Duke of Wei so cowardly, I thought there was a hard fight." Said one of the men with a masked face.

"One soldier bears, one bear. There is no one in the old Xu family. The person at the head also covered his face, and his tone was even more disdainful.

After the King of Zhongshan, the Duke of Wei had such a great reputation. But he really didn't know what to say from the battle just now.

Clenched his fist and hit the cotton, it really didn't mean anything at all.

"Boss, how much silver are there for these ten cars?" Another masked knight has more to do with how much money.

The carriage was so heavy that the whole procession could not go fast.

"This car is about 30,000 or 40,000 taels, and 10 cars are about 400,000." The leader whispered.

"Damn, that's not a hair." Another knight said.

"Shut up, don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have, keep your mouth shut. Whoever wants to leak the news, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

The knight at the head gave a stern warning, and everyone stopped squeaking.

It was getting dark, and there was no moon today, so they had to light torches and move forward.

The cold wind blew the torches.

"Boss, what's that?" One of the knights asked, pointing ahead.

There was a fire spot that was lit like incense, and it was still shaking. It can't be a firefly.

Who comes out to burn incense? But how did it become a row, and it burned a little too much.

"Bump ......" a crisp explosion sound.

All the knights were excited, and the horses neighed, and they knew that it was the sound of firecrackers after a long battle.

saw the boss who had just given the warning, his body seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer, and he leaned back and turned over directly to Rome. A bloody hole in the chest.

The sound was like a signal, and then they noticed that the fires had ignited.

Crackling pops rang out one after another. The dense team was directly hit by the barrage. More than twenty fell in an instant.

"The firecrackers can only shoot once, there are not many of them, rush over and kill them all." One of them shouted as he rode his horse.

These fierce cavalry immediately rode their horses and charged towards the fire. As for why, don't think about it at all, kill the enemy first.

And rushing over this distance will not give the firecracker a second chance to shoot.

The results were beyond everyone's expectations. Almost without intervals, there was another sound of clapping, and the comrades who were charging forward flipped to the ground on their backs, and more than twenty people fell behind.

The people in the back were stunned, why did they shoot a second time so quickly? But at this time, the horse speed had already gotten up, and he couldn't take care of it.

"Spread out ......" someone shouted, and the knights immediately distanced themselves and scattered to charge.

They don't believe there is a third time.

As a result, the third and fourth shots continued. There was a crackling sound.

There was almost no pause, and after each sound, a knight was carried away from his horse by a great force, or a horse fell with a wail.

Charge all the way, all the way to the back of the horse. They were indeed the fiercest cavalrymen, and even though they did not retreat, they charged forward bravely.

By the time the horse team rushed to the front, there were less than ten men left. They were greeted by a strange firebolt.

It's different from what they've seen and remembered.

After a burst of smoke from the explosion of gunpowder, more than a dozen people also lay down.

A knight who is not dead does not understand that this experience is different. That's not supposed to be the case with firebolts.

How can there be a firebolt here? Didn't the people of the Shenji Battalion withdraw? This battle is really embarrassing.
