"Report to the official, report to the official, I want to report to the official that these murderers will be brought to justice and cut into thousands of pieces!" In the dead of night, Zhou Kui was paralyzed on the ground in the mansion of the emperor, beating his feet and chest and wailing, waking up the surrounding neighbors. Don't know what happened.
"Dad, we have lost money and avoided disaster. Didn't you say that they were sent by that eunuch? What's the use of reporting to the official?" The two sons of the Zhou family comforted him. Zhou Kui was furious: "If they were sent by that eunuch, They should report it to the official, I just want them to investigate themselves and feel disgusted with themselves!"
"Dad, if it is true that the person sent by the eunuch is a threat, if you continue, it will add fuel to the fire. If not, he will do more..." The boss of the Zhou family still has some brains. As soon as he said this, Zhou Kui shut up and looked at the night sky stupidly: "My money, twenty thousand taels of silver, no, let's go to the bank now and see if we can cancel this bank note..."
But isn’t this the same as dreaming? Banknotes are not deposit checks. Even if the cash is lost later, it cannot be reported as lost. Besides, Daming Bank is outside the Qianmen, that is, in the outer city. At this time, the city gate is closed, and the entire city of Beijing can There were only a few people who opened the door, but Zhou Kui was definitely not included.
Besides, after Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang succeeded, they climbed over the wall and slipped to the north of the city under the cover of night. The two of them teamed up to commit countless crimes in the world but never got a huge sum of 20,000 yuan at once. At this time, I couldn't say how happy I was. You can pay it back to the public with the banknote, but the sense of accomplishment is yours.
"It took you so long to scare a bad old man. You have a reputation as a master thief." At this moment, a voice floated from the air. Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang immediately stopped and took out their clothes, hiding in the dark shadow in the corner and looking around. Looking around.
"Here it is." A dark shadow floated down from a tree two feet away in front. Night Demon sneered with his hands behind his back. Li Bingxiao recognized the voice. When the Yamen arrested the two of them the night before, it was this female devil from Dongchang. Leading the team, this person was not only top-notch in light-weight skills, but also had ruthless swordsmanship. When he saw her, he suddenly panicked: "You weren't ordered to kill us, were you?"
Moreover, Su Jing curled her lips and said: "You are too underestimating the little governor. He is trustworthy in employing people. If you don't trust others, don't judge him by your little chicken intestines."
"Then you..." Li Bingxiao and Li Bingxiao relaxed and sighed: "I have heard about your reputation as a thief for a long time, but I came to see you, but I didn't realize that you still used drugs and other dirty tricks. Did you use drugs when you went to Dongchang at night?"
Li Bingxiao chuckled: "Although the nursing home in the Guozhang's Mansion is loose, it can't handle the large number of people and there are a few hard-nosed people in charge. It is most convenient and trouble-free to use drugs. What the Governor wants is the result, but he doesn't care about the process."
"In the end, you two only defrauded 20,000 yuan in silver notes?" Su Jing looked disdainful, but these words shocked Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang. When they were robbing the study, they paid special attention to the movements outside, thinking that no one knew, but at this time they were stunned by the nun. Yu Dao Po said that it meant that he was nearby at that time, but he didn't notice it!
"Are you here to show off your skills? If nothing happens, we will go back to resume our lives." Wang Lang couldn't stand Su Jing's superior virtue and was impatient.
"The Governor is not in the Yamen at the moment." Su Jing clasped her hands behind her back and sighed: "I'm not here to show off my skills, but I'm here to help you two."
"Ask us for help?" Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang looked at each other. They really couldn't imagine what a master with great achievements and Dongchang as his backer could do. If someone couldn't solve it, they would need help from them.
"I have a sworn enemy. Although he doesn't have the hatred of killing his father or seizing his wife, he is not the kind who will never stop fighting. I thought he was dead earlier, but recently there was news that he had been sent to the capital." Su Jing frowned slightly, and Wang Lang blurted out: "If he comes to the capital, he will fall into a trap. All you need to do is ask the governor to order the city gates to be closed and searched throughout the city, just like you did to the two of us before. He won't be able to escape!"
Su Jing shook her head: "This person has reached the Qinggong realm and can climb the city wall with a little help. He is also good at disguise and concealment. Casting a wide net to catch him is almost useless."
"Who is this person?" Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang suddenly became curious.
Blood bat!
Where did Chang Yu go when he was not in the Yamen in the middle of the night?
As the eunuch of Dongchang, he enjoys privileges and can go almost anywhere he wants in these four or nine cities.
So he went to the big world to meet Zhu Zhi'e, the princess of the Jin Palace.
Do you think he went to the Princess Princess to do some exercise?
I don't know if he did any exercise, but he was talking to Zhu Zhi'e at night, and the conversation was not about the love between children, but a serious matter that was very beneficial to the Jin Palace.
Dig coal!
As the saying goes, we rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Shanxi is full of mountains, and coal is buried in the mountains!
Although coal has been formed for tens of thousands of years, and China has several thousand years of history, the actual mining only started in the late Ming Dynasty. Many people still haven’t figured out what coal is used for and how it came from. For example, Lu Shen Gu Yanwu also agreed...
Of course, the Ming Dynasty had already begun to burn coal, but most of it was still concentrated in Shanxi and mining was not done on a large scale. It was not until the middle and late Qing Dynasty that the court encouraged mining. At this time, the coal mines were all small workshops, and Only the poor people burn it, because there is smoke, and rich people use charcoal. To put it simply, it is not popular in Shanxi, let alone places like the capital.
It can be said that at this time, all large-scale coal mines in Shanxi are still blank. The main reason may be that the market has not yet opened.
Now Chang Yu plans to open up this market and supply Shanxi mining directly to the capital or the entire Gyeonggi market. He was very confident about the prospects of this market. After all, we were in the Little Ice Age at this time. Winters were so cold that many people would freeze to death every year. Rich people could burn charcoal in winter, but ordinary people could not even afford firewood.
At this time, coal can enter the market. Ordinary bituminous coal is supplied to ordinary people, and anthracite coal is supplied to the rich. As long as it is of high quality and low price, it is easy to obtain the charcoal market, and it is the peak season from now until March and April of the Chinese New Year.
So he planned to ask the King of Jin to set up a mine in Shanxi and supply it directly to the capital. Some of it would be used for scattered sales, and some would be purchased by the court for disaster relief. After all, winter was coming soon, and there were so many refugees struggling to make ends meet in the capital. They had no money to buy charcoal fires, so they couldn't. Just let them all freeze to death.
As long as this thing is done, it can be said to be able to achieve multiple goals. First, it can make money, secondly, it can provide disaster relief, and thirdly, it can allow Zhu Zhi'e to stay in the capital with a legitimate name!
Of course, this requires Chang Yu's operation. Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not allow the princes and their children to leave the fiefdom at will, he did not prohibit them from investing in business, and he was not as strict with the princesses as the princes. Zhu Zhi'e can be asked to serve as the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce of the Jin Dynasty in the capital. As long as he puts in a few nice words in front of the Queen or Chongzhen, the matter will be settled!
Zhu Zhi'e was delighted after hearing this, but she couldn't help but frown: "Although this is a good thing, running a mine and mining coal requires a large amount of capital investment. At this time, the Jin Palace is already..."
Chang Yu had already thought of it: "This is the business I gave to your brother. Although I have no capital, I can find others to buy shares."
"Who?" Zhu Zhi'e was startled.
Chang Yu smiled: "The King of Datong, he has money!"
"Ah, will he be willing?" Zhu Zhi'e was a little doubtful.
"He will definitely be willing, very willing!" Chang Yu was confident: "He cheated on him some food and salary before, and he was jealous of me. Now of course he is very willing to give him a way to make a fortune."
Zhu Zhi'e curled her lips and said, "Why are you so sure that you will get rich?"
"You just keep digging, and we will help you find sales. It's hard not to make a fortune!"
"Then, do I have to go back first?" Zhu Zhi'e came to Beijing this time to meet Chang Yu. Although she waited for a month and only met twice, she was very satisfied, because she knew that as long as she told Chang Yu Once this matter is done, she can come to the capital in good faith, and she may even enter the palace to meet the saint.
"The sooner, the better. I will send someone in advance to tell your brother to start immediately and try to send a batch of goods before winter. As for the logistics, you can do it yourself or use Octopus..." As the candlelight flickered, Chang Yu gushed.
