Chapter 418: The Merchant Is Going to Rebel Too

Of course, Xu Miaojin had the heart to leave the capital, and at this time, Liu Chun was in urgent need of manpower, and she had to go over to help...... But the Xu family is her root, the eldest brother Xu Huizu is determined to follow Zhu Yunwen, the second brother and the third brother are leading the troops outside, and the most dangerous is the fourth brother Xu Zengshou.

What's more, if she leaves, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the imperial court, and the control of the fourth brother will definitely be tighter, and if something happens in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to run away if I want to. Xu Miaojin quickly turned his brain and thought of a way.

"Fourth brother, do you know Gonggong Han?"

"Oh! Is it the old eunuch next to the first emperor? He is good, but I heard that he was demoted to guard the mausoleum. ”

Xu Miaojin nodded, "That's right, he'...... It's Pixiuwei, a subordinate of Liu Lang. He also has a descendant who opened a spice gouache shop in the capital. ”

Xu Zengshou was a little stupid when he heard it, "The person you are talking about is a man, right?" He, what did he think about opening a spice shop? Isn't it the kind of bulk sale? ”

Xu Miaojin covered his mouth and chuckled, "He also buys large quantities, and the shop is also operated...... Fourth brother, if you see this person, you will know what's going on. He has seven sisters above him, and this temperament is naturally softer, and he is friends with many girls! ”

"Friends? Isn't this just a man who is neither a man nor a woman? Third sister, tell me the truth, how did you meet him? Does Yoo Chun know? ”

Xu Miaojin glanced at the fourth brother, "It was Liu Lang who introduced me to him, and Xiao Hanzi is not a bad person, don't look at his weak appearance, in fact, he is a chivalrous person, and he is a good person!" ”

Seeing that the fourth brother pouted and didn't believe it, Xu Miaojin snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate people!" Some time ago, he used the money from the sale of spices to build two flower boats and take in a lot of poor women...... Like you wealthy sons, you know that you go to Mazhangtai, I heard that there are beautiful women, it is like a swarm of bees to get up, and when you get tired of it, you will leave one after another, but it is Xiao Hanzi, who has taken in a lot of people, and does not squeeze them, so that they voluntarily entertain guests, and the money they earn is used on the painting boat, and they have done a good thing of great merit. ”

The literati are very romantic, nostalgic for the Qinglou, and spinning in the pile of fat powder, which is regarded as a celebrity and a gentleman...... But in fact, it is extremely cruel, and Xu Miaojin has heard a real story.

Three years ago, a person who was lifted to Beijing to take the exam met a famous singer, and planned to redeem her and settle her in a place. However, he fell off the list.

Wait until three years later, I went to Beijing again and searched for it again, but he really ran into it, the former young woman, who had a yellow face, wrinkled face, wearing coarse cloth, sweeping the floor with a broom, and became an old mother.

On the Qinhuai River, except for a few of the top ones, who can maintain their reputation for a few years, most of the women will plummet after half a year, and they can only greet second-class guests, and then they will get worse and worse...... Until there is no then.

When Xu Zengshou heard his sister's words, he was really interested.

"So, this little Hanzi is quite kind?"

"Hmmm! Fourth brother, if you want to leave the capital, go through his door...... And during this time, you can also go to his painting boat to avoid trouble, lest Zhu Yunwen target you! ”

Xu Zengshou thought about it and finally nodded.

"Okay, it's worthy of being my sister, it's just that I'm delicate, and this time the fourth brother will have the bottom." Xu Zengshou was suddenly very curious, "Little sister, how much did you say that kid Liu Chun left in the capital?" ”

Xu Miaojin just snorted slightly, "Anyway, Zhu Yunwen died by himself, and if he has to go against Liu Lang, he will not end well!" ”

……

Xu Miaojin left the capital, she didn't go directly to Xi'an, but went to the sea to Zhoushan first, where the blue crescent moon was, her belly was already the boss, a little life surnamed Liu, was pregnant and was about to come to this world.

Xu Miaojin honestly played the role of a nanny, "Sister Lan, what is the boss doing now?" Do you know? ”

Lan Xinyue said lazily: "I only know that he was short of food some time ago, so I asked me to write a letter to my eldest sister and wanted to buy grain from Shudi." ”

Xu Miaojin stuck out his tongue, "So Liu Lang has already entered Shu?" ”

"It should be!"

Xu Miaojin suddenly cheered: "So, my eldest brother must be unlucky this time!" ”

Lan Xinyue couldn't cry or laugh, "People say that the girl who marries out, the water that spills out, you haven't married yet, so you're in such a hurry?" Xu Miaojin's face was slightly red, and she shouted: "Don't worry, my sister is about to become a mother, and people can't fall behind!" ”

Lan Xinyue stretched out her hand and pinched Xu Miaojin's delicate face, "Come on, this big battle is a tempering for us, we will get through it!" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Miaojin nodded vigorously, "Sister Lan, in fact, in the past few years, you have suffered the most, and you deserve it!" ”

Lan Xinyue chuckled, "Actually, the most bitter thing is Xianggong, some time ago he also pretended to be a people's husband, with the official army going out, this time into Shu, he doesn't know what to do, I think it will probably not be easy." ”

Lan Xinyue stood up slowly with her fat waist, looking at the west, she really hoped that the little thing in her stomach could come out quickly, and she could accompany her husband and have an adventure all over the world...... It's just that Lan Xinyue guessed wrong, Liu Chun doesn't have a hobby of hardship.

This time he pretended to be a salt merchant, yes, he was the kind of nouveau riche who had a hundred thousand yuan in his waist and wanted to hang his whole body full of gold.

He came to Chengdu Mansion smoothly, and since Zhu Yang attacked and occupied Fushun, the entire salt market has been completely chaotic...... First of all, as an official salt merchant, he couldn't get salt with salt, even if Zhu Yang was willing to give it, the local yamen did not agree.

However, the common people could not afford not to eat salt, so private salt became popular...... It turns out that there is also a private salt market, but this time it has expanded countless times, and the people don't care about these, anyway, they can eat salt if they have it, and the price of private salt is cheaper!

It's just that these salt merchants have stopped, when have they suffered such a big loss, and they must take action, so these people desperately persuaded the government to send people to severely punish the smuggler salt dealers.

Therefore, you can see government officials everywhere, and there are also smugglers everywhere, staging a cat-and-mouse show every day.

"Mr. Liu, tell me, is this still going to let people live?" A salt merchant named Wang Cai complained to Liu Chun, "Mr. Liu, your family is doing business in Shanxi, is there a way to help us?" ”

Liu Chun was dumbfounded, "Mr. Wang, you are still a businessman, and you don't even understand the truth that 'people can't be rich without foreign wealth, and horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat'?" If it's a peaceful and prosperous world, let's sell salt and make some hard-earned money at most. But now it's different, the original salt system has been broken. Do you know, where did the salt eat in the old nine sides? ”

"This ...... Of course, it is the salt of Lianghuai and Changlu. ”

"And now?" Liu Chun asked: "The trade route is cut off, do they still have salt to eat?" ”

Wang Cai shook his head silently, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Mr. Liu, the small one can see it, you are a big businessman, and your vision is much more powerful than the small one, you show me a clear way, what to do, I will listen to Liu Gongzi." ”

"Wrong!" Liu Chun smiled: "We do business, and we listen to money!" ”

"Money! Right! It's money! It really deserves to be a famous Jin businessman, it is amazing! ”

Liu Chun said with a smile: "Now that Beiping and Xi'an are reversed, including Datong, it turns out that the salt from Shanxi can't be transported, and it can only be trafficked outside by illegal salt dealers, but unfortunately, it's still not enough." I entered Sichuan this time because I wanted to get some salt from Bashu and sell it north...... Mr. Wang, there is a saying, it is called to support the bold, starve the cowardly, and ask the big questions in the official university, all of which are not as bold as the bold! You can't miss such a great opportunity to make a fortune! ”

Wang Cai nodded frequently, gave two thumbs up, and was convinced. "Amazing, it's really in one sentence, it's so incisive! As for Liu Gongzi's knowledge, the small one should ask Gongzi for more guidance. ”

Liu Chun chuckled: "It's no problem to point. But we businessmen, dealing with real money, are now doing things that are losing my head, I have to be cautious, in short, the way to make money is in front of me, it all depends on Brother Wang's courage. ”

After Liu Chun finished speaking, he left with a smile, and he met with many businessmen one after another, all of whom talked about business...... Gradually, among the businessmen, everyone knows that there is a Liu Chun Liu Gongzi, who is a capable person, doing any business, as long as there is money to make, there is Liu Gongzi, and some people, at any cost, come to see Liu Chun, hoping to cooperate.

In this way, Liu Chun gained a firm foothold and quickly launched an intelligence network, and what he was most interested in was how Xu Huizu planned to quell the rebellion!

You must know that 150,000 people is not a small number, eating, drinking, and Lazar every day is an astronomical number, and you can't play anything without money!

"Food must be requisitioned, the more the merrier! The imperial court has already made a will, asking the gentry from all over the country to pay grain and serve in one piece, and the country of Bashu Tianfu will not even be able to take out this bit of money and grain, right? ”

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was said to be angry, "Wei Guogong, you also know that Bashu was once slaughtered by the Yuan soldiers, and it has not recovered until now, and now the price of salt has been chaotic. ”

"Then start with the gentry!" Xu Huizu said: "Didn't the imperial court agree to let the gentry form a village warrior!" You can gather the villagers and let them act as the people's husbands to carry food for the army. ”

The king of Shu doesn't know what to say, he can't just pit the landlord!

"Wei Guogong, it is the requisition of grain and the requisition of the people, and the burden falls on the gentry, can they agree?"

Xu Huizu's old face darkened, "This method is not what I thought, it is what the imperial court meant!" Now Beiping and Xi'an are using troops, and the money and grain of the treasury are smashed on it. ”

"What?"

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, went crazy, "Wei Guogong, this, this won't work!" Bashu is not as good as before, if you can't take it out, no, absolutely not! ”

Xu Huizu pondered for a moment and took out a holy decree from his arms.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, take it and see it!"

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, took it and took a look, he was even more stupid, the townspeople wanted to push, and the gentry's money and grain had to be collected...... The burden falls on the landlord, and no one is fish and meat, and can be slaughtered at will...... So there was a genius idea - centigold.

The local yamen are allowed to set up cards to collect money, and draw it according to one percent for military purposes, which is exactly one centi, so it is called centigold.

Wang Cai stomped his heel and scolded Liu Chun, "These officials are simply black-hearted, all goods are taxed once for shipment, and when they encounter checkpoints on the road, they have to be taxed, and there are taxes on goods, and people also have tolls...... They are forcing businessmen to rebel! ”
