Chapter 519: Let's see, let's call Cao Bianjiao

Liangchen was in a hurry to enter the city because of Li Sancai's business.

Zheng Duo and Chen Mo arrived in Nanyuan yesterday evening, and the two made a report on what Liangchen had confessed before leaving Beijing.

The money for the weapons and artillery purchased by the Military Bureau has been settled, but because there is no place to store them at Zuo'anmen, they are still placed in the Weapons Bureau of the Military Bureau at Guangning Gate in the outer city.

Zheng Duo and Chen Mo discussed, but they wanted to get the things out first and rent a place in the outer city, but Eunuch Lu of the Ordnance Bureau did not agree. I had to wait for the new battalion to be set up before I was willing to send the things.

Eunuch Lu was afraid that something would implicate him.

Liangchen felt that Eunuch Lu's arrangement was very good, and Lao Cheng was serious.

After all, the capital division is important, and the armaments and artillery are hidden in the Beijing division, so that the imperial history knows that there will be an uproar.

In this world, I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of what happens.

In case he Wei Gonggong can't think about it, and wants to learn from Cao Jixiang in the Tianshun period to mutiny, then wouldn't Eunuch Lu follow to punish the clan.

Liangchen and Wang Yongshou breathed a breath and informed that they would send someone to transport the ordnance to the camp tomorrow, and asked Wang Yongshou to send troops to take care of it.

Wang Yongshou will not say that there is a problem, because in this way, it can save him a fortune.

You must know that after a long time, even if his right guard is a forbidden army in the forbidden army, there are not many ordnance. As a last resort, the guards will not be allowed to update their weapons.

Wei Liangchen spent his own money to buy it, although this money was also recorded in his imperial horse supervisor's account, but it was Liu Dugong's separate expenditure, which did not affect the money of Wu Xiang's right guard.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that he will have to put out a lot of things in the right guard.

As a eunuch in the prison army, Wang Yongshou's way to make a fortune is the promotion of armaments and official positions, as well as Nanhaizi's private trading.

If there is any missing, he is distressed.

The money from Meng Guozhong, the Terracotta Division of Nancheng, was also settled, and he received back the six bronzing bonds issued by the Maritime Eunuch's Office.

Each bond was calculated in 1,000 taels, and more than 300 taels of silver were invested in the production of these bonds alone.

The cost of each bond alone reached three cents of silver, and the production was not unsophisticated.

It can be said that the name stickers of any dignitaries and nobles in Beijing are not as good-looking and atmospheric as this bond.

Not only that, but the redemption date and interest are engraved on the back of the bond.

In particular, there are four small words - "Redeem when you hold the coupon".

These four small words are to save trouble for those dignitaries and nobles who buy bonds, and it is difficult to say that the person who finally pays for these bonds must be the person who buys them.

In other words, Liangchen wanted to make his maritime bonds the first choice for gifts for dignitaries.

Sometimes, hard currency doesn't have to be gold or silver.

Liangchen set a payment date for the first batch of maritime bonds three years later, that is, in the 42nd year of Wanli.

According to the redemption method, if you invest 1,000 taels to buy one, you will be able to make as much as 1,600 taels of profit after three years.

The interest is several times that of the money shop.

Real usury.

The reason why such a high interest rate is given is entirely because the good ministers are poor and white, so they must attract people with usury and coax them to invest, otherwise they will not be able to spread the stall just by relying on the money of the imperial horse supervisor.

Liangchen asked Zheng Duo what he complained about when Meng Guozhong gave money to receive bonds, or if his face was ugly.

Zheng Duo said that it was not, but after Gonggong Wei left Beijing, someone from the Nancheng Terracotta Division had snooped outside the office, and after finding that Dongchang did not come to the office to trouble again, these spies disappeared.

Liangchen smiled, knowing that Meng Guozhong was somewhat unwilling, but the wind was calm, seeing that his father-in-law Wei had left Kyoto and no one was going to smash his field anymore, this deputy commander was somewhat forced.

In addition to Meng Guozhong's forced purchase and sale of a few bonds, Liu Jixiang's good ministers also sent him a batch of bonds.

This batch of bonds corresponds to Liu Jixiang's investment of 50,000 taels.

In addition, 40% of the annual maritime profits are also distributed to the other party.

Of course, the agreement is written like this, and how much to cash out in the end depends on the ability of the good minister.

If he can subdue the group of Wuxiang Right Guard soldiers that Wang Yongshou stuffed himself, and grow so strong that the Imperial Horse Supervisor can't do anything about him, he has the final say.

Otherwise, you can only abide by the contract honestly.

There was an unexpected surprise that made Liangchen excited when he thought about it.

Wang Yongshou stuffed his new camp with two camp officers, one named Cao Wenyao and the other named Wu Fuming.

The battalion officer is essentially the commander of a battalion.

The battalion officers in the four guards of Tengxiang are all the titles of the commanders.

However, because Liangchen, the flag army of the rear camp of the right guard of Wu Xiang, is attached to the position, and cannot be put on the table, but is operated privately by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, it is definitely impossible for such a big official to be the commander of the camp.

Therefore, it is logical for a hundred households and a general flag to be the camp official.

Cao Wenyao and Wu Fuming actually didn't want to come, they did a good job in Wuxiang's right guard, and they came to a new camp after they were full.

In the eyes of these two people, the battalion soldiers made by the little eunuch Wei are a miscellaneous card, a rabble, and there is really no future for staying in this battalion.

However, the military order is difficult to disobey, and Wang Yongshou's father-in-law is also authentic, so he and the two of them will be transferred back after serving a full term in the camp, and their respective officials will be promoted to one level, and the two of them reluctantly accepted the order.

When the camp was closed in the evening, Wang Yongshou called these two people over to let the good ministers meet.

This is also the reason that it should be, in the future, Cao and Wu will both lead the troops in the new battalion, and they will be nominally sent by him Wei Gonggong, and the superiors and subordinates must meet and get acquainted.

For Cao Wenyao, Liangchen is no stranger, the last time he came to Nanhaizi, the other party had raced with him, and he was a person with a cheerful personality.

Wu Fuming has never been in contact with him, he is about thirty years old, he is a hundred households in Wuxiang Right Guard, his temperament looks very dull, and he doesn't like to talk very much.

When talking to the two, Cao Wenyao was mostly talking, and Wu Fuming was listening.

After talking for a while, Liangchen lost much interest, but Cao Wenyao's unintentional words lifted his spirits.

Cao Wenyao said that he was from Datong, and there was an elder brother in the family who was a hundred households in Liaodong.

This clue reminded Liangchen of a person, and that person was Cao Wenzhao, the first good general in the late Ming Dynasty.

Both have the surname Cao, and they are literary generations, so it is difficult for Liangchen not to want Cao Wenyao's brother to contact Cao Wenzhao.

If you ask carefully, it's true, that Cao Wenyao's brother is really Cao Wenzhao!

This is a huge surprise, to say that there are two major generals in the Wanli period, one is Dongli and the other is Xima.

But after Wanli, the two major generals are Cao and Zu.

Cao, it is the big and small Cao generals - Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao!

Ancestor is the ancestor of the first army in Liaodong!

Zu Dashou has a nephew named Wu Sangui, who is also a continuation of the ancestral family.

Dongli and Xima are all loyal to Daming to the end, except for Dongli who has a slight flaw.

Cao and Zu are completely different, the Cao family is all martyred, but the ancestral family is full of traitors.

The difference in the chances of the two generals makes people sigh.

The eldest brother is Cao Wenzhao, and Liangchen couldn't help but pretend to unintentionally ask Cao Wenyao if he had a son.

Cao Wenyao replied that his wife gave birth to a boy for him last year, but he has been in the army and has not yet taken a leave to go back to see it.

"Hello boy, good boy!" Liangchen laughed, looked at Cao Wenyao's eyes very kindly, and asked very kindly: "Did Wenyao name the kid?" ”

"Name?" Cao Wenyao was stunned for a moment, and then touched his head a little embarrassed, "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I'm a rough person, I haven't thought about this name for a while." I'm going to ask a gentleman to show me when I get back home. ”

Liangchen waved his hand: "What kind of gentleman please, why don't we give your kid a name." ”

"Huh? This..."Cao Wenyao was stunned again, but he can also be a man, so he will not sweep the interest of this little Wei Gonggong, and hurriedly said that he would ask Wei Gonggong to give him a name.

Liangchen got up and pretended to groan, paced back and forth, and finally slapped his palm, and said happily: "Yes, how about calling Cao Bianjiao?" Change Jiao Jiao, become Jiao Jiao in one day, be a good boy! ”
