After the meeting of the Vice-Chancellor, Sonny rode back to his home, and although he was now better, he was still not used to sitting in a sedan chair, and he always felt that there were no constraints in it.

Recently, the third son has been tinkering with something, and Sony has heard about it, and Sony has also heard about this son's tossing, and it has a lot to do with silver. However, Sony did not interfere before, and when Suo Etu came to ask him whether the imperial court would break the contract, whether it would make it difficult on the issue of acceptance, and whether he was willing to issue a receipt, Sony also truthfully told his son - at least this year, the Qing court will not turn its face and confiscate a sum of silver, and the transaction of tens of millions of taels of silver is not worth tearing his face for hundreds of thousands of taels - I don't know when the auxiliary minister suddenly had an impression, that is, after decades of war between the two sides, the Qing court and the Ming army, To be precise, it seems that the Ming army in Sichuan has not yet torn its face.

Suo Etu and the other former Praetorian Guard officers who were not politically ambitious always got together, and this time after a securities exchange arose in the south, they pooled their money to gamble, and this gambling also had a new name called futures speculation. However, Sony and other high-ranking Manchurian officials were already kind to them, and they felt that the inside story of the First Battle of Gaoyouhu was deep, and these children were wrongfully sacrificed, so they knew that they were gambling money, and they also borrowed the post station system of the imperial court to gamble, but their parents also pretended not to know - the four auxiliary ministers all had family members involved, and it was not difficult to cover up this matter.

But after returning home today, Sony immediately asked Bao Yi to call Suo Etu, and as soon as they met, he said: "Don't go to Tianjin in the future." ”

Recently, Sony heard that his son's gambling money is getting bigger and bigger, and it is said that he has already paid hundreds or thousands of taels of silver...... There's nothing wrong with a small bet, but it's a little scary like Suo Etu. And because of gambling, many nobles also went to Tianjin to keep an eye on the delivery of Caoyin, for fear that the imperial court would strictly abide by its promises, but the Tianjin magistrates tested the "Fujian thieves" who were difficult to send Caoyin, and Suo Etu also went to Tianjin with other children every once in a while.

"Why?" Suo Etu's eyes widened, and his voice trembled: "Amma, but...... But is the court going to break the contract and arrest people? ”

These days, Suo Etu and they have earned a lot of silver, and after the delivery of the Caoyin in Huguang, Niu Colu went to Jiujiang, and made a fortune by doing more in Jiujiang. Not long ago, Jiangxi's Caoyin delivery also came to an end, and it was Jiangnan's turn next, and Niu Colu should be on his way to Anqing now. In order to allow this group of people in the capital to participate in every transaction, they even affected the order of the delivery of Caoyin, and it was clear that the imperial court originally intended to let Zhejiang hand over Caoyin first, but because Niu Colu could not fly, he could not go to Wuchang and Hangzhou. So in the end, it was decided that the delivery plan of Hubei, Hunan, then Jiangxi, Jiangnan, and finally Zhejiang Caoyin.

This plan was still a bit difficult to get through the court in Beijing, because the auxiliary ministers felt that if they took the sea, it would be obviously more convenient for Zhejiang Caoyun to travel from Hangzhou to Tianjin than Jiangxi. However, because Huguang's securities trading was opened first, for Beijing's futures group, it must start from Hubei and end in Zhejiang. Both the Auxiliary Minister and the Ministry of Household Affairs were worried that this might result in a strange scene of the silver ships in Zhejiang waiting outside and not being able to unload their cargo, while the silver ships in Jiangxi had not yet arrived at the Tianjin wharf and had nothing to do. But the nobles and children persuaded their mothers who loved their sons, and then the mother and son went into battle to deal with their important ministers and fathers, and the order of this button was still obtained in the Qing court.

The Ming army was very talkative, and Feng Ziming, the president of the Chengdu Development Bank, who escorted the silver ship to the bank, went ashore and lived near Dagukou after arriving. This guy, who was suspected by many people of being Deng Ming and Mu Tan's secret envoy, replied with a relaxed face after hearing Suo Etu's request, for their financial group, the Qing court can toss as much as they want in this order, and the silver in this boat can be counted as the silver of any province, that is, one ingot of silver can be split into five parts, and one province can be split.

Seeing that the account books of the Ming army were so confused, the silver on the ship could be said in any province, which made many officials of the household department of the Qing court secretly despise, guessing that the household official management system of the Ming army must be chaotic, and there were no rules and regulations at all. After listening to Feng Ziming's statement that a piece of silver can be divided into several parts, and after calculating the silver of different provinces according to the needs of the Qing court, the contempt of the Beijing household department for the account book management system of the Ming army has reached the extreme, and many household officials have come to the conclusion on this: "Sichuan is easy to break ears." "Most of the Manchurian children don't understand why Sichuan is easy to break, only Suo Etu vaguely figured it out, that is, the Ming army's account management is not enough to see at a glance, giving Sichuan household officials too many opportunities to fish in troubled waters -- think I clear the accounts so rigorously, when entering the treasury of the household department, the soldiers are not allowed to wear clothes and have to be naked, but there are still all kinds of elusive entrainment opportunities, this Sichuan is so careless, it may not take a few years to "watch its self-defeat", right?

Since only five percent of the deposit is required, the profit on Niu Colu's side is very good, and the more than 30,000 taels of silver that everyone has put together has become more than 50,000 taels, and the 200 taels of silver for Suo Etu have also become more than 500 taels. A few days ago, Suo Etu borrowed money from his brother and brother, cousin, and cousin's relatives everywhere, patted his chest and promised thirty percent of the money, and scraped together a few hundred taels of silver to send to Niu Colu. Or because of the security deposit, if the Qing court suddenly changes its face and defaults on the account, then every time he is full of confidence, he can throw everyone's private money into the water at one time.

Thinking of this, it is not good to say that it is not good to ask for it, and last time Niu Colu also came to a letter, saying that Anqing has launched a new Caoyin delivery insurance project, selling life and property insurance to the silver ship that goes to Tianjin, and the funds of these insurance businesses will also be listed in Anqing. After studying and understanding the project mentioned in Niu Colu's letter, Suo Etu and they all laughed very happily, they all knew that the imperial court would not break the contract, let alone arrest people, so they let Niu Colu buy as much as he could, and thought that it was a business that would make money and not lose money.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the imperial court was about to change its hexagram...... This gambling really can't be touched, and my father can't be relied on.

Suo Etu hurriedly turned around and was about to run out: "Ama forgive the sin, my son has to hurry up and write a letter, and send it to Anqing while the city gate is still closed." ”

There are still a lot of borrowed money that are the dowries of cousins and cousins when they got married, and the private money saved by thrift in the in-law's house, if they all lose all of them, Suo Etu can only kill himself to thank the world, right?

"Confused, stop!" Sony let out a loud shout.

It has been a long time since the Battle of Gaoyou Lake, and as the battle situation has become increasingly unfavorable, everyone is not so concerned about the former dereliction of duty of the Praetorian Guard. This trip to Sichuan is not only an opportunity to collect local products to make a fortune, but also an opportunity to obtain military merits, if they can make great contributions in this campaign, then Suo Etu and other noble children will also have the opportunity to make a comeback.

The Empress Dowager had agreed to give the Gaoyouhu dereliction of duty who had been cleared of the Imperial Guard, and to allow them to return to the army and serve with Prince Kang and Kupilon.

Now that his son has a future, Sonny can't watch him continue to gamble, and he knows that this son has always had great ambitions, unlike other sons who eat and wait for death.

"Third child, I have never fought for any knighthood for you." After Sony told his son the good news, he sternly encouraged him that Sony's eldest brother would be hereditary Sony's lord, and Sony's second brother and his younger brother behind him, Sony also did his best to fight for them all kinds of lifelong effective hardcore crops. Only Suo Etu is an exception, Sony has never helped him to fight for any idle position for nothing, but he has not missed any opportunity to let Suo Etu listen to the emperor's side: "Don't mention the past, you must seize this opportunity, you will have a title that is not inferior to that of your father." ”

"Yes, my son knows." Suo Etu bowed his head to listen to the teachings, and his face was full of excitement.

However, Suo Etu's joy is not entirely due to the reappearance of the political future, but also because he knows that the imperial court will not break the contract, after all, Suo Etu still has so many relatives' life-saving money in his hands; Not only him, but also other participation values, as far as Suo Etu knew, that brother of Gualjia fooled more people than him. After hearing that this matter can make a lot of money in a short period of time, several men mortgaged the house behind their mothers-in-law's backs, and one person made up five taels or ten taels of silver, and they also had to go to the Anqing Exchange to do long.

"It's also good to go to Tianjin, to be able to know the inside story of Sichuan." Suo Etu frowned and said to his Lao Tzu.

"Nonsense, how can you know about western Sichuan when you go to Tianjin?" Sony was disapproving, and glared at Suo Etu: "You take care of it, don't gamble anymore." ”

"Amma misunderstood." Suo Etu didn't want Lao Tzu to see through his intentions at a glance, but since he dared to say this, of course, he was not completely unprepared.

A newspaper was taken out of his arms by Suo Etu, and he held it in both hands and respectfully handed it to Sony: "This is something that Feng Ziming and a few other Sichuan people are reading without anything, as if it is written about major events in western Sichuan." ”

Deng Ming did not prohibit the flow of newspapers from western Sichuan, and every time a new silver ship arrived, Feng Ziming and the others would rush over to ask for the latest newspapers. These people had been in Tianjin for several months, and when they got the newspaper, they would read it voraciously, and Suo Etu took the opportunity to steal a few of them.
