Flipping through the Di newspaper and Mingfa inscription books collected by Ye Qi,

In the second year of Chongzhen, since what happened at the beginning of the year, there was a dazzling feeling, and many things that happened this year directly or indirectly played an important role in the direction of history.

On the eighth day of the first month of February, the household department wrote to Liu Mao in the matter, "Please cut the redundant post station, and save hundreds of thousands of dollars in money." "Chongzhen Yue, then cut the post station. At that time, the number of additional factions in Shaanxi was increasing, and the officials were traitorous due to fate, and the people were in great difficulty. The nomads of the mountains and Shaanxi are seeking to be post soldiers but cannot get it. At that time, Shaanxi was plagued by famine for many years. As a result, Lord Liu's twist and turn made many hungry people, unemployed post men and fugitive soldiers join the Shaanxi people's rebellion at that time, oh, one of them is named Li Hongji.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, went to Shuangdao in the name of a military parade and invited him to watch the soldiers shoot. Set up a tent at the foot of the mountain first, and order the general Xie Shangzheng and others to lie outside the tent. Wenlong to, Chonghuan asked Wenlong for violating the order, Wenlong defended, Chonghuan screamed, and ordered to remove the crown and belt, Chonghuan counted Wenlong's twelve major crimes, and then took Shang Fang's sword before the account. There are many theories about Inspector Yuan's killing of Mao Wenlong, but there is a lot of evidence to prove that Mao's death was actually the product of the combined effect of the internal party struggle in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army at that time to eliminate the danger from behind. Because Mao Wenlong asked for 1.2 million yuan a year, Qian Longxi, a major bachelor, and Chonghuan set a strategy of "usable, use, unavailable, and killed" with Chonghuan in July of the first year. In Tan Qian's "Guoyi", it is mentioned that Houjin "Yintong Chonghuan begged to kill Wenlong." And Chonghuan is in his plan without realizing it. This is more polite, in the "Supplement to the End of the Ming Historical Chronicle", "Later Collection of Shikui Books" and other works. There is simply such a record: "There is no way to restore the life of Liao in five years, but to revert to the plan, Jianzhou said, 'Guoer, which comes with the head of the text!'" 'Chonghuan Xinzhi! "The woman directly agreed, but said, 'I can't believe it, and Mao Wenlong is the first to come!' Chongzhen heard the news, "It's shocking." ”

In June, Emperor Chongzhen appointed Zhu Xieyuan, restored his former official, and concurrently took care of Guizhou. Zhu Xieyuan sent Yunnan troops to capture and retreat; Sichuan soldiers out of Yongning. Capture Bijie; Since he led troops to garrison Luguang. Shuixi soldiers An Bangyan and Luxury Chongming came to attack. Xie Yuan ordered Xu Chengming, the chief soldier of Guizhou, to lead the troops to feint and retreat to lure the enemy, and sent troops to smash his lair in three ways, and the Sichuan general soldier Hou Liangzhu, and the deputy envoy Liu Kexun fought with the enemy in Yongning. After the combination with fame. The Great Breaking Water West Soldiers. On the tenth day of August in the second year of Chongzhen. Cut Bangyan, Chongming, and captured thousands of enemies. Later, Xie Yuan was forced to land in his position. Shuixi and Yongning are all flat.

On September 29, Yang Ho was ambushed. This person once served as the imperial history of the right capital and experienced the military affairs of North Korea. In the first battle of Ulsan, he was defeated, withdrew his troops back to Wangjing, and had a good news with the governor. In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, he went to Liaodong as the right attendant of the military department, and in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he and the governor Wang Keshou, the governor Zhou Yongchun, and the patrol according to Chen Wangting and other 470,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into four ways and fought with the Houjin soldiers in the Salhu Mountain, and were defeated, and more than 45,000 people died. Later, Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost one after another, and the official wrote to impeach Yang Hao, and then he was arrested and imprisoned, and he was sentenced to death.

On the first day of the first month of September, the Jiannu organization exam, Confucianism and all those who were born as slaves in the Ming Dynasty were pulled out and examined, respectively, the first class was rewarded with satin two, and the second and third class were rewarded with cloth two, and they were all exempted from the difference between two and two.

In November, Huang Taiji (is it better to call Huang Taiji, or is it better to call his real name Hei and Bo Lie?) Or is it better to call him by his Chinese name, Yellow Wolf? In the case of the internal economic crisis and the imminent outbreak of the political crisis, in order to alleviate these pressures, he accepted the former Ming army's guerrilla and surrender general Gao Hongzhong's Jianyi, bypassed the Ningyuan defense line, entered the pass from Xifengkou, and carried out economic plunder, and at the same time exerted political pressure on the Ming Dynasty court to achieve his own goal of promoting peace. In order to achieve this goal, he personally supervised the army to attack Longjing Pass, and used the Mongolian Khalqin Taijibul Katu as a guide to conquer the Hongshan Pass. Don't conquer Da'ankou, you will be in Zunhua. On the fourth day of the first month, Zhao Commander-in-Chief of Shanhaiguan led the education to come to the rescue, and Yu Zunhua died in battle, and the whole army was annihilated. Governor Wang Yuanya, Baoding magistrate Li Xianming, Yongping magistrate He Tianqiu, Zunhua magistrate Xu Ze, former magistrate Wu Qiqian, etc., refused to defend the city, and the city was broken and died.

In December, the governor of Xuanda and the governors of Xuanfu, Baoding, Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, hearing that the capital was under martial law, all invited their troops to enter the guard. Shanxi Governor Geng Ruqi and General Zhang Honggong also led 5,000 people to help. Shanxi reinforcements have arrived, and today they will be ordered to guard Tongzhou, tomorrow they will be transferred to Changping, and the day after tomorrow they will be transferred to Liangxiang. According to the system of immorality established by the civilian officials, military salaries and rations could only be paid on the second day after arriving at the station. And the garrison of these Qinwang troops kept changing, and for three days there was no military pay, and the army mutinied. After the incident, Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong were arrested and imprisoned. When the Quartet reinforcements were gathered one after another, they plundered more because of lack of pay. Oh, it is said that the later Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong was also in this group of Qinwang army.

On December 4, Emperor Chongzhen was imprisoned, and the Guan Ning Army of Zu Dashou's department mutinied. Since taking office, Chonghuan has demanded that "the Ministry of Household should be transferred to the military salary, the Ministry of Industry should give equipment, the Ministry of Officials should be employed, and the Ministry of War should be transferred and selected generals", not only to use the manpower, material and financial resources of the entire Ming Dynasty to a corner of the Guanning defense line, but also to let the six ministries and the cabinet revolve around his Guanning defense line.

As for these things in the city, we don't need to talk about it, but just the article about killing the general, coupled with the crime of dereliction of duty, Inspector Yuan is enough to die. All kinds of writings and controversies about these have been full of sweat and sweat, so let's not go into more detail here, and talk about something related to pig's feet!

In the Gyeonggi region, the Yellow Wolf faced much less internal pressure, his power and prestige were increased like never before, and the benefits of this military adventure were not only economic, military, and political for him.

The columns plundered the cities west of Shanhaiguan and north of Baoding, and many border cities such as Malanyu, Xifengkou and Hanerzhuang, as well as inland cities such as Yutian, Sanhe, Xianghe and Tongzhou were broken one after another. The harvest could not be described as abundant, and the grain, rice, gold, silver, cloth, and population were sent to the camp of the Yellow Wolf in Nanhaizi like water.

The Jurchens, with pigtails on their heads, grinned all day long in front of numerous seizures (looted stolen goods?). ), population, materials, and smiles from ear to ear. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty was such a behemoth in their eyes. Uncover the outer shell on the surface, and the inside is so weak and so rich! In their eyes, the land of Gyeonggi is like a piece of fat and juicy beef, which can be slaughtered and eaten.

Think about the price of prices within Daikin when Tiancong Khan in front of him just ascended the throne! A bucket of rice costs eight taels of silver, a good horse costs three hundred taels, a cow costs one hundred taels, a python satin costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and a spindle of cloth costs nine taels of silver. It's a nightmare!

But. In the sound of good news, a small piece of news became a little discordant in the big good shape.

"King Khan! Those minions went to attack Zhuozhou, but they failed! He was also beheaded by those Nanban at the twelfth level! ”

"Huh?" Within the Great Tent. A fat black man moved. With great difficulty, he shifted his gaze from the ledger that recorded the harvest to the face of Zhang Jing, who came to report the news.

"The minions with the white flag. I heard that Zhuozhou was rich, and there was a batch of goods from the South Road that arrived a few days ago, so I waved my army to Zhuozhou. Don't want to. The soldiers guarding the palace in Zhuozhou, in addition to the Ming army, there are also the Franc machine people who escort these goods, this generation is good at using firearms, and the escort of the Hongyi cannon ten is listed on the city wall, with the size of the Franc machine and the size of the general cannon. Bombarded the whole team of our army with Hongyi cannons, and used the big and small franc machines to bombard our siege warriors. According to the casualties reported by the minions of the white flag, more than 300 were wounded and more than 50 were killed, including more than 10 people in armor, 5 people in banners, and the rest were all coated Aha. ”

Listening to the report of Napao Shiku, a fierce look flashed across the black and fat face of the yellow wolf, "Why, Azig still thinks that he defeated Zhao Shujiao, the general soldier of the Ming Kingdom, and didn't he have enough credit for beheading Zhao Shujiao?" ”

"It's good! And he gave him a commandment, that he should bring him again. Be sure to take Zhuozhou! Capture these artillery! ”

Within the state, the right to speak has always been determined by military merit and strength. The strength of the three brothers Azig and Dolgon, and the large population of Niulu, have always been feared by the yellow wolf, especially this entrance, when facing the Guanning Army Zhao Shujiao, Azig was excellent, brave in battle, decisive in command, and finally beheaded Zhao Shujiao, the general soldier of the Ming State.

If they were allowed to capture these Nanban artillery from the south in Zhuozhou, wouldn't it have further boosted the strength and momentum of the two white flags?

Napashi Ku was the henchman of the Yellow Wolf when he was the owner of the White Banner back then, so he naturally knew the true thoughts in his heart, and he didn't say much at the moment, he called a thousand, retreated, and found a pen post to give Azig an order.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, this order made Azig very angry!

"Starling! You said! My two men and horses went to attack a small city, and instead of defeating it, they lost a lot of warriors again! ”

Facing the thunderous twelve brothers, the yellow wolf's black face smiled gently, and ordered someone to give Azig a seat, and the warm words in his mouth couldn't stop comforting.

"How many people have you lost this time?"

"There are more than 20 people in armor, more than 10 banners, more than 30 people in Yuding, and about 200 people in Baoyi Aha have filled in!"

Azig unabashedly reported the losses of his various cattle to Tiancong Khan, his starling.

"Good! It is also good for you, Abahai seed, to die as many as possible. It is also a good thing that the three of you brothers have always been strong and strong, and it is also good to kill and wound more men and horses! There was a cheerful cry from the deepest corner of his heart, but his expression was still one of concern.

"Twelfth brother, can you tell the starling brother about the situation in Zhuozhou? How did the Ming army defend it? ”

"According to the true report of the besieging ox, the four gates of the city were blocked and strictly guarded. When our soldiers attacked the city, the cannon on the city did not fire, and when our soldiers entered within 400 paces, the gunners at the head of the city began to prepare, and when they were about 350 paces, the Hongyi cannon on the city suddenly opened fire, and dozens of people in our army were killed and wounded in this first round of artillery fire. ”

"When the artillery fire at the head of the city temporarily stopped, the soldiers rushed to within one hundred and fifty steps under the city, thinking that the cannon at the head of the city could not fire in this range, and did not want to, the rats at the head of the city actually fired at our warriors alternately with large and small Fran machines, large and small general cannons and other artillery, and the warriors in my banner were probably killed and injured in this second round of artillery fire, and dozens of wounded soldiers and corpses could not be recovered, thinking that they had been taken by the Ming army to do the first level of military merit."

A burst of pleasure rushed directly from the spring to the Heavenly Spirit Gai. Anyway, for these potential adversaries. The Yellow Wolves were happy to see their strength suffered.

Sent Azig away, promising that when he returned, he would try to make up for him when he got eight cents of the spoils. The yellow wolf found the person who wanted to know about the situation in Zhuozhou.

"According to the detailed work and the newspapers and documents we seized, these Franc machine people are responsible for escorting the Hongyi cannons and large and small Franc machine artillery built by Li Fengjie, the former governor of Liangguang, into Beijing during his tenure. I happened to walk through Baoding, and I heard about the entrance of our army, so I entered Zhuozhou to defend the palace. The Twelfth Elder Brother is just unlucky. ”

It is said that Li Fengjie was promoted to Beijing by Chongzhen Xiaoer because of his meritorious work in casting artillery, and became the right deputy capital of Yushi. However, this person is also a capable official, and he has cast a total of twenty Hongyi cannons before and after. Franc machine artillery hundreds. It is said that they are all temporary masterpieces. Moreover, the cost is quite low. ”

Withdrawing the people on the left and right, the yellow wolf laboriously moved his fat body in the big tent, the light of the big butter candle. Stretching his body from time to time. Sometimes it gets shorter.

Shanxi Guild Hall. Located in Xicheng District, Beijing, Xixiao Street today, with Shanxi Hall as the center, surrounded by many Shanxi Hall such as Shouyang Hall, Pingyao Hall, Qixian Hall and so on. During the Ming Dynasty, a total of 41 guild halls were built in Beijing across the country. Among them, there are 5 Shanxi guild halls. accounted for more than 12% of the total. They are the Lu'an Hall founded by Shanxi copper, iron, tin and charcoal merchants during the Wanli period. The Pingyao Hall founded by Shanxi pigment and tung oil merchants, the Linfen East Hall and the Linfen West Hall jointly built by the merchants of Linfen during the period of Tianqi Chongzhen, and the Shanyou Hall founded by the people from the southeast of the Fenhe River in Xiangeryi during the period of Tianqi Chongzhen.

If there is a Shanxi guild hall, there will definitely be a temple of Guan Erye, a fellow countryman respected by Shanxi businessmen. It is hoped that this will achieve the purpose of emphasizing righteousness, friendship with the villagers, and jointly defending the interests of the group. In addition to worshipping Guan Yu, the guild hall also has its own worship of gods according to different industries: Qian Xing worships the God of Wealth; The paper shop is dedicated to Cai Lun; The meat shop is dedicated to Zhang Fei; Washing the skin is dedicated to the river god; Cattle are dedicated to the King of Horses; The woodcraft shop is dedicated to Luban; Shoe repair shop to worship Sun Bin; The medicine shop is dedicated to the king of medicine; Pasting line to worship Wu Daozi; The pigment line is dedicated to Ge Xianweng; The wine and rice shop is dedicated to Li Bai, Du Kang, Lu Zu, etc.

Passing through the main hall of the Guandi Temple, the two gods of wealth and fire who were enshrined on both sides were incense, and then went to the back to add a handful of beans to the red rabbit horse, the mount of the old man Guan, and the group came to the most secret place in the Guandi Temple, which was mostly used to talk about some big business in the past.

"Old Fan, what are you doing in a hurry to find us? It's chaotic outside! ”

"That's it! Shopkeeper Wang, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that someone will arrest you? ”

Several people greeted each other and sat together, ready to listen to today's convener, Fan Yongdou, explain the purpose of today's gathering.

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa were the eight famous imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In recent years, Zhangjiakou, which is called Dongkou by Shanxi people, has been used as a base, forming a huge force, and Yangzhou salt merchants and Huizhou merchants are known as the three major merchant gangs.

"The fourth prince sent a letter from outside the city."

Fan Yongdou's words suddenly made the expressions on the faces of the other seven people change in different ways, some were stunned, some were happy, some were surprised, some were afraid, and some were greedy.

"Now that Ning Yuan is still in the prison, what is the fourth prince doing at this time when he sends someone to send a letter?"

"It's because that guy is still in prison, I'm afraid that the next step is to go to the vegetable market like Xiong Tingbi, and then go to all over the nine sides to wander around, and the fourth prince sent someone to send a letter in! Don't forget, when Yuan was in power, he sold rice to the fourth prince in Gaotai Fort, and now he is in prison, and if the fourth prince wants to buy rice, he can only rely on me to wait! ”

Several people eagerly looked forward to the good days with unlimited business opportunities in the future, but Liang also raised a little question, or hesitated because of timidity.

"Now that someone Yuan has been put in prison, Zu Dashou has mutinied again, Jinyiwei and the fans of Dongchang are like a group of mad dogs to ask around, should we restrain ourselves, lest it be difficult to contribute to the fourth prince in the future, and the so-called Qingshan will not worry about no firewood."

"Shopkeeper Liang, you are cautious when you say it well, and timid if you don't say it well!" Fan Yongdou, as the leader of this merchant gang, naturally has the power and strength to coerce others.

"Since ancient times, wealth has been the pursuit of danger. The imperial court sent Yuan to prison, it was because he was guilty, what kind of unauthorized killing of the border marshal, what dereliction of duty! What do we have? We're just businessmen! Again. If the imperial court really wants to pursue it, the shopkeeper of Liang Da, with the business you did with the fourth prince and the Mandate of Heaven Khan, it is enough to raid the house and kill the first ten times! Don't be afraid! I'm just talking about my analysis. ”

Fan Yongdou patted the shoulder of the guest Liang and signaled him not to be nervous.

"At that time, our predecessors in Shanxi, the families of those scholars, which one did not do business with the Mongols? Should it be killed? When Jiajing was here, Altan Khan besieged the city of Beijing, and almost all the swords, guns, bows and arrows of the Mongolian soldiers were sold to them by these people, right? What if it turned out? After I answered the tribute, aren't they all great contributors to the benefit of Sangzi? ”

"Compared to selling swords, guns, bows and arrows to Altan Khan. We are just selling grain, cloth, knives, guns and other things to my Ming generals. Jianzhou Wei commanded the father and son. Ladies and gentlemen, maybe one day, the Ming court will issue an order to recruit An, or the fourth prince will accept the court's appeasement. We have become the precursor to the benefit of Sangzi! ”

"If we are rivals. So. The gardens of those Yangzhou Hui merchants are built on the bones of my Ming soldiers, and they are in the position of the big treasurer, don't forget. During the Korean War at the time of the Three Great Expeditions, 60,000 of the 200,000 Japanese were called the musketers of the Iron Artillery Corps, and all the saltpeter of these musketeers was sold by Hui merchants to the Japanese lords. If you really want to investigate, I am afraid that the gardens of those people are not all built with the bones of my Ming soldiers in Busan, Gyeongju, and Biho Pavilion. Have you ever seen the Ming Dynasty pursue it? ”

Fan Yongdou's words made the eyes of the seven people present suddenly radiate a desire for wealth! Wow! Those who are scholars at home can sell arrowheads to Altan Khan, Huizhou merchants can sell saltpeter to the Japanese daimyo, why can't we sell some grain, rice and cloth to the father and son of the former dragon and tiger general of the Ming Dynasty?

Don't say that we are rivals, we are just 50 steps and 100 steps! And, in the end, which one goes further, maybe it is not clear!

"Shopkeeper Fan, say it! What does the fourth prince have to take care of our business this time? ”

"Which of you has business dealings with Guangdong? The fourth prince wants us to purchase Guangdong Railway! ”

Fan Yongdou took out the letter of the yellow wolf, of course, the content of the letter can only be seen and understood by both parties, and ordinary people read it, but they just think that it is a very ordinary business letter.

"Yue Tie? Shopkeeper Fan, are you mistaken? It's a wide pot, right? ”

"Yes! Although Foshan's iron smelting is famous, it can rarely reach the north, but it is a wide pot, which has always been the main force of trade with the Mongolian tribes, and it is also a variety of goods allowed by the imperial court. ”

At the beginning of the exchange of markets with Mongolia during the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty government banned the export of iron pots necessary for the life of Mongolian herdsmen in order to prevent the Mongol rulers from smelting iron weapons. Later, Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda (the Shanxi predecessor mentioned by Fan Da's shopkeeper above), was invited: "And find out the cities of Kaiyuan and Jianning in Liaodong, and enter the market with Guangguo." Pig iron in a wide pot is not subject to refining and frying, which has been practiced for a long time, and this can be effective. And found that Xuanda is far away along the border mountains, the iron pot is fresh, and the wide pot is also used, that is, when the guard of Liao is right, the market is easy to enter with the wide pot, and the business is convenient. ”

The pan is made of pig iron and cannot be re-smelted, and once crushed, it cannot be reused, making it a safe export product.

"Canton? Since it can be sold to the Mongols in large quantities from the east and west, it is not a new thing! Not to mention making a lot of money! ”

"The twelfth elder brother planned to grab the Hongyi cannon in Zhuozhou, but he didn't expect to return with a lot of casualties. The fourth prince ordered us to find a way to find out about this Guangdong matter, and if possible, buy more Guangdong iron! ”

"According to the confession of the captured Ming soldiers, Yuetie is not only cheap, but also the weapons built are quite good, the fourth prince said, as long as you can buy it, how much Liaodong will collect!"

"Well, Liangguang is too far away, and we haven't been there."

"That's it! At most, my shop went to Nanjing. ”

"Huh? Nanking?! ”

Tian Shenglan seemed to smell the smell of blood, and couldn't help but emit a green light in her eyes.

"What, Lao Tian, do you have a way?" Huang Yunfa, who had a good relationship with Tian Shenglan, had a look of eager anticipation in his eyes.

"There's not a way, but it seems like there's a line to try." Tian Shenglan sold a pass. "Do you remember the single salt I had in the seventh year of the Apocalypse?"

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Tian Shenglan bought 3,000 fine and good salt from the salt gang at a time, and sold it to the Jiannu in Liaodong, because the salt was in excellent condition. It was snatched up by the banner owner of the Eight Banners, Baylor, and Han officials everywhere, and the profit of the shopkeeper of Tianda was as high as more than 50,000 taels.

This salt deal made the other seven quite angry, but when they planned to go to the Salt Gang to buy such salt, they were told that the Salt Gang was also out of stock, and they could only cooperate with the big treasurer when it was available.

"According to Lao Ma, the shopkeeper of my outer village in Nanjing, this batch of salt was brought from the south by several stewards of the Salt Gang, and at the same time, there were also good things such as muslin cloth and refined sugar. I think. Since the fourth prince mentioned Yuetie. Is that, like all this salt, sugar, and muslin, all from the south? We might as well trace the roots from this line, and we can't let this group of guys in Yangzhou who obediently dig leeks and fry green onions take advantage of everything! ”

Listening to Tian Shenglan's analysis, several big shopkeepers nodded yes. After all, such an analysis is reasonable.

"Lao Tian. A few big shopkeepers. I have a proposition, and you can see if it works. Fan Yongdou lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and explained his thoughts to the seven partners.

"Lao Tian. You might as well make a hard trip, wait for a little quiet outside the city, and then you will go south along the canal, go to Nanjing, and go to find the stewards of the salt gang with your old horse, the shopkeeper of your outer village, and promise a lot of profits, and tell them that you might as well eat the salt and other goods in their hands by us at one time, and we will never bargain with them as much as they offer! Then I want to ask who their upper family is, as long as they know their upper family, the fourth prince has the gold and silver property obtained from entering Beijing this time! ”

This idea is good, but Tian Shenglan was a little hesitant,

"Fan Da's shopkeeper, his words are good, but my position is insufficient, and they have all become goods, ready to be shipped to Liaodong in the Spring Festival. You asked me to go south and deal with the bitter hahas of the Salt Gang, and that's no problem. However, it is a little difficult for me to eat their goods without bargaining! ”

"Listen to me!"

Fan Yongdou glanced at Tian Shenglan with disdain. Look at your little bit of talent, you are never too fat when you eat meat, but you are picky when you are doing things!

"I have two ideas, let's listen to them, one is that each of us will give 100,000 taels of silver to Lao Tian and let him go to Jiangnan to do goods. Lao Tian, after the matter is completed, you will share the dividends according to 150,000 taels. The second one, that is, my own family pays 500,000 taels, which of you is willing to enter a share, Lao Tian, your dividend is still 150,000 points, which is considered your body stock. Which do you think? ”

The seven of them blinked and began to calculate.

"The second idea, if you give 500,000, how much should Lao Tian pay?" Zhai Ying was a little dissatisfied, "It can't be said that Lao Tian went to Jiangnan to play around, prostituted a trip to the Qinhuai River, and when he came back, he would also share a bonus of 150,000 taels." ”

"I'm a sun, you're an immortal! When will I not be able to tell when the money will be used as the capital?! Tian Shenglan scolded Zhai Ying very dissatisfied.

"Then what do you say, how much silver are you going to give as capital? Lao Fan's 500,000 silver is here! ”

"I, I, I think I can't compare with Lao Fan, but I also pay 200,000 taels of silver as the capital! Fan Da shopkeeper, I will divide the dividend according to 250,000 silver when I turn around. ”

"Then my Wang family will pay 200,000 taels!"

"My Huang family also paid 200,000 taels!"

"I'll give 150,000!" ……

In the blink of an eye, more than two million taels of silver have been raised.

"Okay," the eight palms that were accustomed to counting money struck each other, making a crisp sound, "Shouldn't we go and incense Master Guan and ask him to bless us with this good time?" ”

Eight people cleaned their hands, poured incense, and burned incense in front of a statue of Guan Gong. The attitude is very religious. Unlike Bai Gui, which was worshipped by other Jin merchants, the eight great treasurers worshipped Guan Gong as their god of wealth.

Thinking that it was because their main customers were related to military affairs and wars, they worshipped Guan Gong, who was commonly known as the God of Martial Wealth, to bless their wealth and wealth into Dafa Li City.

But if we look closely at this Guan Gong statue, we will find that this Guan Gong statue seems to be slightly different from the others, he is a seated statue.

Such a statue of the God of Wealth is called the God of Plunder and Fortune! (To be continued......)

PS: Let me explain, I guess this chapter will cause a lot of people to be dissatisfied with the author, it's okay, use the monthly pass in your hand or something to smash me to death!
