Chapter 171: People's hearts fluctuate
It cannot be said that Yang Chendong's appearance was for the war, but he did appear for the rise of the Han people. Even if someone wants to be unfavorable to the Han people, then why not let him teach him a good lesson?
Presumably after experiencing this battle, Zhu Qiyu also owes himself a great favor, which is only good for many of his future plans.
"Okay, Ben Hou knows about it, in this way, you go back and tell Xu Youzhen, and let him recommend Ben Hou to lead the army when he is in the morning tomorrow." Yang Chendong analyzed the situation in front of him and felt that the time was almost ripe, and it was time to stand up, so he told his subordinates the decision.
"Yes." After receiving a definite response, the staff of the Security Service quickly left. Yang Chendong also quickly returned to the spacious luxury carriage, and as soon as he entered here, the women chattered and asked non-stop.
Knowing that there were some things that could not be hidden, Yang Chendong kept a smile on his face and said, "The soldiers in front have lost the battle, and the Warat army should soon rush to the foot of the Jingshi." ”
"Ahh The women were originally just curious, even if Yang Chendong didn't say it, they could understand it. After all, the thoughts outside the male protagonist have been passed down for thousands of years, but I never thought that Yang Chendong didn't hide it from them, and really told it, but this result was so terrifying.
"Are you going to hit Jingshi? As a descendant of the Hu family, Hu Yan is naturally more sensitive to political and political matters than other women.
"You don't have to worry, with Rokuro here, no one in this world can hurt you. Just stay in Yangjiazhuang. Said in an extremely categorical voice, at this moment, Yang Chendong was so confident that the four girls were fascinated and couldn't extricate themselves.
A burst of Wang Ba's qi was released, and feeling that the four girls were not panicked, Yang Chendong smiled and said: "Okay, we can do whatever we should do next, the Immortal Residence and the Outer Heaven need to operate normally to stabilize people's hearts." If possible, if the market near them is willing to sell and the price is right, we can buy it and it's time to expand our business. ”
War is naturally a disaster for ordinary people. But for some people, there are countless business opportunities. It all depends on what position you are in, what kind of information you can understand, and what kind of initiative you have.
As far as Yang Chendong is concerned, there is no shortage of the three, if he can't maximize the benefits in such a situation, then the previous preparation and plan really have no meaning.
"Buy, buy, buy!"
This is the first order Yang Chendong gave to Hu Yan's four daughters, and it is also the first task for his wife.
In order to make things the best possible, a full five million taels of cash were moved out of the cellar of Yangjiazhuang, which Yang Chendong had prepared before the civil fort, in order to prepare for the current situation.
"Tell Leng Song that you can speed up, you have to act boldly, and you must rush outside the capital within five days." Yang Chendong looked at the Leng Feng brothers who were moving the silver to the soft hands, and gave orders to Hu Mang, but he was thinking about another question in his heart. It takes so much trouble to move the silver taels, and it seems that it is necessary to think about the matter of the silver ticket.
The advent of silver stamps was a great step forward in the history of money. Some people in the numismatic world believe that the origin of Chinese silver stamps can be traced back to the "white deer skin coin" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the "flying money" of Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty.
"Flying money" is essentially only a kind of exchange business, it does not intervene in circulation, does not exercise the function of currency, so it is not a silver ticket in the real sense. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the "silver ticket" in Chengdu, Sichuan Province was the beginning of the real silver ticket. However, due to various reasons, the system was not perfect, and in the end it was not carried out on a large scale.
In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, although the silver ticket system was further improved, it was still difficult to get the safety recognition of the people. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's economy was in difficulty, the treasury was empty, in order to raise military expenses, had to change the original intention of not printing silver bills for 200 years, and printed the first kind of silver bills since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in the third year of Xianfeng (1853). The official tickets issued this time are divided into five types: one tael, three taels, five taels, ten taels, and fifty taels. The upper middle of the ticket is written in two languages, full and Chinese, and the official ticket of the household department; Four words.
It was from that time that the silver ticket really became one of the negotiable paper "currencies".
Although it shows that the dynasty also has official silver tickets, it is mostly an internal transaction method between multiple government and government, and ordinary people and even businessmen are rarely involved. The imperfection of the system makes these silver tickets may become a piece of waste paper at any time, and who dares to exchange the silver?
Don't say that it's someone else, even Yang Chendong himself doesn't believe in the Ming Dynasty government. This government composed of powerful eunuchs changes so quickly that it sometimes makes people feel dazzled, who dares to exchange all their net worth for silver tickets? Maybe you just finished exchanging your front foot, and it is normal for you to have Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans behind you to raid your home.
It's like Yang Chendong's five million taels of silver, which has never been exposed. He believed that if he really believed in Daming, maybe Wang Zhen would have done it to him a long time ago, and would not wait for the current scale to develop.
It is precisely because the silver ticket system is not recognized by most people that Yang Chendong wants to make a name for himself in it. Later generations have seen the power of state-owned banks, and of course he can see the huge benefits in them. As for the risk, hehe, with the backing of the growing Yang new army, he is really not afraid of others coming to fight his idea. Maybe he's still thinking that others have such thoughts, so when he goes to deal with someone, he can be considered famous.
When Yang Chendong was still thinking about the grand exhibition in the future, the Beijing Division had already turned the sky upside down.
As the ministers returned home one by one from the court, the news of the defeat in front of them did not go away, and for a time there was anything to say, and in the afternoon, a small number of people left the capital city and went south.
Although these numbers are not many, most of them are merchants, and they all left in fear after receiving the news that the Ming army was defeated and that Wara was about to come to Beijing. When these people left, most of them took a lot of cash with their families.
Or is it said that businessmen are more profitable, and their patriotism is far less cordial and reliable than that of those with great interests?
The departure of some merchants made the already tense atmosphere in Jingshi even more chaotic, and some ordinary people also began to plan to pack up. After two defeats in a row, the elite of the Ming Dynasty was completely lost, so they really had little confidence that they could defeat Warat. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.
Not to mention, in the afternoon of the same day, I don't know where the news came out, that the Warat cavalry drank human blood and ate human flesh for a living, and if they were caught, the women would naturally be humiliated, and the men and children would become the food of each other's mouths.
This news was far more effective than the heroic and good fighting of the Warat cavalry, and the direct consequence was that a large number of people had gathered at the city gates, and if the city gates had not been closed by the hour, it was not known how many people would have fled.
The news of the so-called Warat cannibalism was naturally released by the Security Bureau, in order to attract a big gangster, so as to fish in troubled waters. It's just that this action seems to be a little bigger, and the people's news at that time is relatively closed, and their knowledge is limited, so they really believe the rumors, so that a wave of leaving the city was formed in a short period of time.
The situation of the city gate soon spread to the palace and into the ears of Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of Daizong.
The new emperor was terrified when he heard that his people were so flustered. If Kyoshi becomes an empty city, then what can be used to defend against the Warat army? Is he, the new emperor, going to abandon the city and flee? If so, where can he go? I'm afraid that Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is waiting for himself to make a fool of himself, right?
"Go and check, find out who put the rumors, and after I catch them, I will cut them with a thousand knives." Under the anger of his body, Zhu Qiyu's eyes seemed to breathe fire.
"Your Majesty, this matter will naturally be investigated by Jinyiwei and Dongchang. But what is more important is how to calm the emotions of the people in the city! If these people really leave the Jingshi, then..."What will be the result, Jin Ying, who was urgently summoned and announced, did not elaborate. But it is conceivable that once the Jingshi becomes an empty city, then the emperor will really become a loner, in that case, the emperor will undoubtedly be a failure.
"Nope! Can't let them go, Aiqing, do you have any good ideas? Of course, Zhu Qiyu knew the seriousness of the consequences if things continued like this, so he asked Jin Ying anxiously to see if he had any good ideas.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and there is no better way for the time being. However, in order not to let the situation go unchecked, the minister suggested that the city gates should be closed temporarily, and only the small town should be allowed to enter and exit, and that the people should not be allowed to go out of the city with money, so that the family business would naturally not leave here. As for how to deal with the strong army of Warat, the emperor still has to preside over tomorrow's morning dynasty and discuss a method with the ministers. Jin Ying has never seen such a scene, although he has followed several emperors and seen their ability to govern the country, but most of them are power struggles between the emperor and the courtiers, and it is the first time that such a military force has suppressed the Beijing Division.
Zhu Qiyu was also a little flustered, feeling that Jin Ying had some truth in what he said, and he was playing one by one at the moment, and then put all his hopes on the morning tomorrow.
The night hardly slept, and the morning began as scheduled. At the same time, several gates of the Beijing division were also opened in the name of preventing the infiltration of the Wara spies, and the gate was changed from opening the side door, and strict inspections were carried out, once it was found that there were people who left Beijing with a large amount of silver, they were arrested on the spot on various unwarranted charges, although this practice was tougher, but it really effectively stopped the trend of the people leaving Beijing.
