Chapter 7 History is back on track

   "What Zhang Bingzhong is going to do in Wuchang, Suizhou, he should go to Shuzhong!"

   Yunzhao put down the brush in his hand, kneaded his brows, and felt that these thieves were not obedient at all and would not follow the set route at all.

   "Is this the result of his reading "The Art of War" for a whole year?"

   Xu Wu thought: "It's nothing more than the illusion, the reality, the illusion, and he will eventually enter Shu, but now he needs to save money and recruit troops to buy horses.

   Li Hongji was in Nanyang. Half a year ago, Xiong Wencan forced Zhang Bingzhong to withdraw from Xiangyang and gathered in the more dangerous Gucheng.

   Luo Rucai’s men and horses were also separated and gathered in Yunyang.

   Two-headed lion horse Shouying is in Suizhou.

Li Hongji was besieged and suppressed by the official army on the Tenth Road in Henan. Although he broke the encirclement, he was unwilling to enter the locust-affected area. He turned around and absorbed more than 300,000 horses and returned to Nanyang, hoping to get closer to Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying. The purpose is to absorb these people and form a larger force.

   Obviously, Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying are very wary of Li Hongji. Hearing that Li Hongji had entered Xiangyang, they just ran away, not wanting to be annexed by Li Hongji. "

   Yunzhao nodded and said, "These are all things that have already happened. Just proceed as planned. What do you mean by this?"

   Xu Wuxiang said in embarrassment, "We have posted about the transaction with Zhang Bingzhong."

   Yun Zhao looked at Xu Wu and thought: "It's nothing, it can't hide from others."

Xu Wuxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, we thought that Zhang Bingzhong would continue to tolerate when he arrived in Gucheng. We were not going to sever contact with Zhang Bingzhong before we got all the wealth he had looted. After all, doing business with him would make a profit. rich.

   But, this Zhang Bingzhong has only been in Gucheng for two months, and he launched a sudden attack on Gucheng, destroying the official army guarding Gucheng day and night.

   killed the county magistrate Ruan Zhitian and the inspector Yushi Lin Mingqiu.

   Destroy the city wall, rob the library and jail prisoners. Jianjundao Zhang Dajing, Ma Tingbao, and Xu Qizuo were forced to surrender.

This guy was a little broken when he left Gucheng and headed for Suizhou...The names, numbers, and times of bribes from officials from all over the government to him were written in detail on the walls inside and outside the city. Your name was ranked third. ! "

   Yunzhao frowned and said, "It seems that this guy is dead-hearted and wants to break with us this time."

   Xu Wu wanted to scratch his hair and said, "Liu Dashou and the others extorted Zhang Bingzhong too hard?"

   Yunzhao shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be considered cruel. You didn't see my name before you ranked third. Oh, yes, who are the first two?"

   "Yang Sichang, Wang Guozhen!"

   Yunzhao nodded and said, "That's wrong, it should be your Majesty who came first."

   "Now our reputation is regarded as a stinky street, countless censors impeach us, saying that we extorted too much and forced Zhang Bingzhong.

   There is also a voice saying that whoever makes a mistake should be put down, and the spearhead is directed at us. The intention is obvious, and it is for us to send troops. "

   Yunzhao smiled silently when he heard the words, put his hands on the table and said: "I can send troops. The question is, do they dare to let me send troops?

   My army left Hangu Pass, and the land of Pingchuan is right in front of me, and I can go straight to Qinhuangdao without any hindrance. Do they dare?

  Hahaha..."

   Yun Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed, Xu Wuxiang laughed too.

   During the Chongzhen period of scientific research, Shaanxi had two subjects and none of them had advanced scholars.

   This is the most direct view of the people in Guanzhong, Shaanxi on the imperial court.

Daming’s world is still messy. It’s not too out of Yun Zhao’s expectations. The bureaucracy that Yun Zhao has built over the past ten years is running smoothly. They control their positions through the countless tentacles extended from Lantian County. Everything that can be touched.

   And Yun Zhao is the big spider lying in the middle of the spider web.

   The world of Daming still exists on the brink of collapse.

   In four months, the locusts flew all the way from the grassland to the capital...wherever they went, nothing really happened.

  The emperor wailed to heaven in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in October, and the Sitianjian said: Good!

   After fifteen days, all the locusts disappeared.

  The emperor was quite contented.

   Yunzhao felt that it was not that God had spared the emperor, but that winter was coming and the locusts should die too. It was a natural law.

  Since the emperor thought it was a manifestation of the unity of nature and man, all the officials of Daming expressed congratulations to the emperor. Naturally, Yun Zhao couldn't avoid it, so Xu Wuxiang wrote a letter of praise and sent it to the capital.

   From autumn until the first snowfall, Yun Zhao did not wait for the imperial court to order his famous military order. On the contrary, Yang Sichang received a new appointment. He came to the Great Lakes area to command the army in Nanjing to destroy Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying.

   Yunzhao continued to wait. After waiting for half a month, he did not wait for the emperor to dispose of him and advised him to recruit Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying's ministers.

   Back then, Zhang Bingzhong and others excavated his Zhu family's ancestral grave...

  Since he could forget such hatred, Yun Zhao felt that he should be a good person in the eyes of the emperor. As for the instructions of the officials to go to Beijing to report on his duties, he regarded this thing as non-existent.

  As a two-minded courtier, he has already arranged everything, so naturally he doesn't have to venture into Beijing to express his feelings.

   Many people have done this in history, and the probability of success is less than 10%. The reason why Hongmenyan is so famous and praised by the world is completely the exception.

   More often, after entering Beijing, they were chopped off and never had the chance to return to their hometown.

   In order to express his reverence for the emperor, Yun gave a box of newly minted silver dollars to the capital. At the same time, Yun Zhao also suggested that the emperor unify the use of domestic silver dollars and use silver dollars to replace the odd-shaped pieces of silver.

   This is obviously a big plan to make a fortune, but I don’t know if the emperor can manage it well. If it is not well managed, and the cost of casting the silver dollar exceeds the value of the silver dollar, then it’s nothing to do.

   Lantian City stands alone on the grassland. There are no people within a radius of three hundred miles. There are no people on the grassland and Gobi further away. Even at the foot of the Yinshan Mountain with luxuriant water plants, it is rare this year.

   Fortunately, there are plenty of supplies in the city, and here is already a small country that can be self-sufficient.

Lantian County is even more prosperous. The effect of the pumps Yun Zhao expects has already appeared. Good talents, good technology, good population, a lot of money, and a lot of materials are pouring into Lantian County, which makes Lantian County’s finances once again. It has developed tremendously.

   Many merchants are already actively speaking to Lantian County, hoping that Lantian County will take the lead and everyone will work together to reopen the Grand Canal to Xi’an and communicate the connection between the Southeast and Guanzhong.

   This suggestion is obviously uneasy and kind.

   Someone is going to repeat the strategy that Korea encouraged Qin to open Zheng Guoqu to exhaust Qin during the Warring States Period, and then achieved the purpose of using this canal to drag down Lantian County's finances.

Such a suggestion is full of deception. Even some Guanzhong students were shocked by this huge plan. After being shocked, they were ecstatic. They thought that as long as the canal was dredged, Xi'an would be able to resume the race of thousands of sails during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and merchants gathered Prosperous appearance.

   I have completely forgotten the reality that the Silk Road has long since shattered and disappeared.

   In November, Feng Ying’s belly did not move. There was no news of a child except for a few oranges in the belly of a lot of money.

   Therefore, Lantian County can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

   This year, Yun Niang ushered in the annual harvest day.

   Regarding this day, Yun Niang took a lot of attention. Ten days ago, she had ordered the housekeeper Yun Qi to set up a tent, and she was just waiting for the snow to fall.

   Yunniang stubbornly believes that rent collection is a good sign when it falls in the snow. If the snow does not fall at the end of the year, she is willing to wait until the snow falls before taking the bonus.

   In the first two years, I just built a shed and prepared some pot helmets for the big guys. It is a good treat to eat mutton soup and the like with garlic cloves.

This year, it is obviously impossible. The simple sheds that used to leak on all sides have become warm sheds. There are more than 30 huge cowhide tents on the open space. These things were brought back by Yun Zhao from the plug and laid out here. It is best to entertain business partners afterwards.

   Yunniang embraces a snow-white civet cat and inspects her servants accompanied by Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo.

   Although each of these businessmen is a free citizen, Yun Niang still stubbornly believes that these people are her own tenants.

   It’s just not growing crops.

   Qian Duoduo likes the pure white civet cat in Yun Niang's arms very much. He wants to take it from Yun Niang's hand several times and hold it by herself, but is knocked out by Yun Niang again and again.

   "If you give birth to me a grandson, who would have rare a civet cat!"

   "I will ask Princess Qin to send one more."

   "Dream, this is a Siamese cat, a gift from the King of Siam to the royal family, and this is the one for Princess Qin."

   "Then let the caravan go to Siam and bring me a blue-eyed cat."

   Yunniang looked around at her two daughter-in-laws, sighed and said: "I didn't have a child, where did you guys smile with the confidence of Concubine Hongchen?"

   Feng Ying lowered her head habitually. She didn't have the experience of growing up next to Yunniang, and she couldn't be as unscrupulous as Qian Duoduo.

   "These tenants this year made people happy to look at them, each of them has a wealth of wealth and it doesn't look like someone who has borrowed money from our family.

Look, there is another man wearing a bearskin, sweating when sitting in the snow, yo, people nowadays don’t even carry clothes on their backs, and everyone wearing gold and silver is out of place. If there are people again this year If he dared to tell Wei Niang about a shortfall, he asked Yun Qi to send someone to tear his mouth apart.

   The people who came to our house with a concubine to show off are not short of money. "

   Although she couldn't take her two daughter-in-laws through the crowd unruly, Yun Niang still sat on a high place and pointed the group of people underneath.

   "Mother, if you make a fortune this year, can you increase your daughter-in-law's quota? Five hundred taels of silver in a season is simply not enough."

   Qian Duoduo once again hugged Yun Niang's arm and shook.

   "Princess Qin only has two thousand taels in his own money in a year. There is only one woman and three maids in your yard. Why is it not enough?"

   talked, throwing a lot of money away from pouting, smiled and said to Feng Ying: "You know that you don't have enough money to use, so I will give you another one thousand taels every season."

   Feng Ying hurriedly said: "Enough, enough. The only people in the yard are me, Xiao Chu and two maids. Five hundred taels of silver is a lot."

   Yunniang patted Feng Ying's hand and said: "You still have a large stall in Funiu Mountain to feed on. Since these people followed you into Yun's door, there is no reason for them to eat chaffy vegetables."

   "I also have someone to feed..." A lot of money made Yun Niang's arm sway even more severely.

   Yunniang sniffed.

   Liu Ru came in a horse-drawn carriage this year. Although the horse-drawn carriage she rode in is not good, it is also a new sturdy and durable carriage.

   There was a cart followed by the carriage, driven by a young man, and a wooden box tied to the cart was not light.

   Mr. Yun’s accountant is the most powerful, and their eyes are also the most poisonous.

   If a person comes here wearing gold and silver, but carrying a light and fluttering coat, such a person is not qualified to drink and eat meat in a cowhide tent.

   On the contrary, when Liu Ru, a smart and capable person at a glance, comes with a heavy box, even if she is a woman with an old woman and a girl, she can be greeted eagerly into the cowhide tent to rest.

Seeing that the tent was full of luxuriously dressed people, some did not dare to go in, but Liu Ru didn't care about dragging her mother-in-law with one hand, and her daughter-in-law with the other, strode in and sat down in the next position, first towards the people present. Give the ceremony, and then pour tea to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

  Some of the people here also knew her. The shopkeeper He of Liansheng said in a hurry: "Shopkeeper Liu has made a fortune this year."

   Liu Ru also said politely: "Thanks to the treasurer, this year is a good life. You can still make three melons and two dates, which makes you laugh."

   He shopkeeper said: "Smashed silver is turned into silver dollar. I heard that there are two points of fire in the middle?"

   Liu Ru shook his head and said, "More than that, the official fire cost of turning silver dollars into silver dollars is two and five cents. If the shopkeeper is interested, how about we can cooperate?"

   Shopkeeper He smiled bitterly and said: "Shopkeeper Liu is too dear to me. Although the profit is great, the risks are also great. As long as the official changes the current policy a little bit, it will be completely useless, and there is no courage of the shopkeeper Liu."

   Liu Ru smiled lightly when he heard the words, and stopped speaking. When it comes to the courage to do business, these people are indeed as timid as a mouse.

Liu Ru concluded that in the future, the world’s major currencies will change from broken silver to silver dollars. Once the silver dollar becomes popular in Ming Dynasty, broken silver will be launched on the market. A currency that withdraws from the market will definitely be reduced to the point where anyone can slaughter it. .

   The reason why she has such a great determination is that she has been on the spot. As long as Lantian County has started to do things, there are few things she can't do.

   This is the beginning of the silver dollar business. In recent years, Yun's goal is not only to give Yun's huge dividends, but also to borrow more silver dollars from Yun's. She thinks this is not difficult to do.

   Merchants are constantly invited out by the Yun's tent, and they come back triumphantly without much effort. They start to eat and drink, as if they want to eat back the bonus they just sent out.

   Liu Ru sits on the bench and drinks himself like a man, quite awe-inspiring.

   When Yun's tent called her name, Liu Ru stood up and said to her mother-in-law: "You are optimistic about your daughter, I will go back."

  Because he is a woman, Liu Ru went straight behind the curtain and glanced up at the group of women sitting here.

Yun Niang smiled and sat in the middle, a beautiful woman in a goose yellow dress sat behind Yun Niang and beat her back, and another beautiful woman with a straight back was staring at her the moment she came in. Look.

   "I saw An Ren, Liu Ru kowtow to you."

   Yunniang pointed to Liu Ru, who was kowtow, and said to everyone: "This is the shabby residence. Every time we come to our house, we have to take advantage of it before we are willing to leave. I just don't know how we plan to take advantage this year.

   Liu Ru saw that the nobleman in the house didn't mean to blame her, so he smiled and moved the box he brought to Yunniang's side and opened it: "This is your dividend for this year, one thousand and four hundred taels!"

   Qianduo Duoduo glanced at the silver in the box and said, "That's it?"

   Yunniang smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, our family's capital is only one or two dollars. After three years of work, we can receive so much money. What's not to be satisfied."

   Feng Ying heard what Yun Niang said, and the look in Liu Ru's eyes became more playful.

   Yun's accountant quickly settled the dividends based on the ledger, and gave Liu Ru a return ticket. This year's settlement is considered complete.

Liu Ru did not intend to leave, but once again kowtowed to Yunniang: "If An Ren can hand over all the bonus silver received today to the little woman, the little woman has the ability to make the money in half a year. The situation has increased by 30%."

   A lot of money, a lot of money, my eyes turned around, and she said to Yun Niang: "Mother, if you give me the money, I can give you 40% more in half a year."

   Yunniang smiled without saying a word, Feng Ying stood up and said, "Silver for silver dollars, the trick of switching silver dollars for silver, Liu, I have a bigger business here, do you want to do it?"

   Liu Ru stared at Feng Ying incomprehensibly. The person who could sit next to Yun Niang must be a noble person, but she didn't know who Feng Ying was.

Feng Ying looked at Liu Ru and said, "I have a large army, which has been fighting endlessly over the years, and some have been captured. I need someone to supply the army with military supplies, and at the same time sell the captured army, and make the life of women and children in the army gradually improve. Let me ask you, do you dare to pick it up?"

   Liu Ru thought for a moment and saluted Feng Ying, "But do I belong to Lantian County?"

   Feng Ying smiled and said, "I am the wife of Lantian County Zun!"

   Liu Ru heard the words and forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and re-said the ceremony: "The little lady will let the lady send it."

   Feng Ying immediately focused on Qian Duoduo, Qian Duoduo immediately said: "No, I want to make money."

   Yun Niang smiled and said, "Then one person and half will be fine."

   Feng Ying said to Liu Ru: "This is the best result I can fight for you."

   Liu Ru smiled and said, "The little woman only wanted to borrow ten thousand taels of silver, but didn't dare to ask for more."

   "Hahaha," Yunniang laughed, fighting Liu Ru every year is something she has been looking forward to for a long time, and this year is no exception.

   Now that the scene to be watched has been watched, and Liu Ru has also been requisitioned by Feng Ying, what follows is nothing more than some boring money exchanges, where is there any extra fun.

   "Duo, you like money, just watch it, and rest for a while for your mother."

Feng Ying helped Yun Niang go, UU reading www.uukānshu.com Liu Ru also left with joy. Qian Duoduo looked at the room full of money for some reason, and lost interest in looking at it, so he kicked Liu. With the silver that Ru brought, he took He Chang's cadres back to his yard.

   When Yunzhao returned from the Phoenix Mountain military camp, the tenants in front of the Yun family's mansion were still in full swing.

   Today should be the happiest day for his mother, so Yun Zhao boldly went to see her mother.

   When he walked into the inner house, he found that his mother was putting incense on his father's tablet, and he followed suit.

   was just about to speak, and saw my mother sitting cross-legged on the futon preparing to chant. With a sigh in her heart, she accompanied her mother to sit on the futon and turned over the scriptures open on the altar, ready to accompany her mother to recite the scriptures again.

   Daily chanting, this is already the biggest obsession in my mother's heart.

   With the prosperity of the Yun family, the frequency of the mother's chanting has also become higher.

   Yun Niang knocked Muyu a few times, then stopped suddenly, looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Is it really your problem?"

   Yunzhao closed his eyes and said in pain: "My child has no problems at all!"

   Yunniang said again: "Master Xuan Jing from Bai Yi'an came to see Duoduo and Feng Ying in the gynecology department, saying that they were strong and had no symptoms that would hinder their offspring, such as coldness in the palace."

   Yunzhao violently tapped Muyu and said, "Can you chant the sutra well?"

   Yunniang leaned against her son, pointed to the tablet of her husband on the confession table and said, "Tell me, your father wants to hear it too!"

"what-"
