"Brothers, please watch carefully, don't wait for them to drown!"
Hou Shilu, who had just returned from distributing the reward materials, looked at the gentry and wealthy businessmen jumping off the Luanhe River like dumplings, and gave a casual order.
"It would be better if these bastards drowned, one less person drowned!"
"You can't say that. Think about it. In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, court ministers, Imperial College students, and wealthy businessmen drowned. Whose face is it? It must be our face!"
"What... is this? Brothers will pay attention!"
The sergeants stationed on both sides of the river also shook their heads, and then brought up the iced fruits and wine from the river.
"liquor?"
"Fruit? Watermelon, peach...so many kinds?"
The people in the river who were taking a bath regardless of their appearance suddenly swallowed when they watched the sergeants fish out baskets of things from the river and began to distribute them.
After receiving the fruit, the sergeants smelled it again and again, and looked at it over and over again, as if they were holding rare treasures.
After a while, I took small bites, fearing that the juice would splash out, and chewed slowly. I knew I was eating ordinary fruit, but those who didn't know thought I was eating ginseng fruit.
The gentry and wealthy businessmen who usually ate one piece and threw it into another basket couldn't help but swallowed mouthfuls of fruit when they saw the fruits that the sergeants were eating. It was really hard for them these past few days.
After a while, a wealthy businessman whispered: "Brother, can you sell me the peach in your hand?
I will give you one tael of silver. With one tael of silver, you can go to Zunhua and buy a basket! "
"Sell it to me and I'll give you two taels of silver!"
…
Once someone started, others no longer had to be reserved and started talking to the sergeants on both sides of the river.
"We have won such a big victory. His Majesty said it was a great victory and there will definitely be a reward. Do you think we are short of a tael of silver?"
"It's just a tael of silver. Who do you look down on?"
"A peach is worth ten taels of silver, a watermelon is worth fifty taels of silver, and this basket of dates is worth a hundred taels of silver. Do you want to buy it?"
"make a deal!"
After the sergeant finished speaking, a wealthy businessman agreed directly, which made the sergeant confused. He just said it casually and made fun of the wealthy businessman.
"Can I sell it to you? Do you have the money?"
"me……"
The wealthy businessman's face turned red: "I can write you an IOU, and I will give it to you when I return to Beijing!"
"Want to eat a king's meal?"
"No, if I really write you an IOU, you can ask your counselor to vouch for it. Give us the courage to not default on the debt!"
"Okay, wait, I'll go find the Commander-in-Chief!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, You Shiwei arrived with several generals and guerrillas. After hearing what happened, his face was full of weirdness, but he still happily agreed.
Since His Majesty has given rewards to the soldiers, it belongs to the soldiers themselves, and they can naturally make their own decisions.
If you can make some more money for your brothers, why not do it.
As for the wealthy businessmen's default on their debts, they wouldn't even dare to do so even if you gave them ten courages.
So the sky-high price fruit deal was concluded.
The wealthy businessmen don't care either. They have spent tens of thousands of taels, so why do they still care about these tens of taels?
Maybe I won’t be able to leave here for half a month. It’s not too much to spend money on some fruit on a hot summer day!
After these wealthy businessmen got the fruits, they distributed them to the officials and the Imperial College students. They also said that cleaning up the corpses on the battlefield in the past few days was considered a courtesy. Treating them to eat fruits was not considered a gift or bribe.
Looking at this scene, a general whispered: "Sir, do you want to stop it?"
"What's stopping you? You bought it with your own money, but you can't handle it yourself? Eating a piece of fruit is not considered corruption!"
You Shilu shook his head and sighed: "Anyone who can make such a big business is really not a fool!"
"Okay, just keep an eye on them and don't drown them!"
When a wealthy businessman was selling fruits at sky-high prices, Yuan Keli presented a booklet in his hand to Chongzhen in the Hanerzhuang City Guards House.
"Your Majesty, this is the atonement silver details of the 567 wealthy businessmen in the capital compiled by Jinyiwei. Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Chongzhen took it and flipped through it casually, then put the book aside and looked at Ruan Kangwen and Yan Yingyuan who were a little cramped in the lobby.
"Ruan Aiqing, the total amount of atonement silver is 8,253,200 taels. You are the chief contributor to this amount of atonement silver."
"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries!"
"Even so, I will not treat you badly. I originally wanted to upgrade you a few levels, but your status as a businessman is the most beneficial to you and me. Do you understand?"
Chongzhen paused for a while after saying this: "How about you wait for two or three years, and I will give you a position to coordinate the entire starch and dyeing industry?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
“You must have plans for the future, and you must give out the benefits you get.
After returning this time, you go to the Forbidden Army Yamen to find Commander Sun Du of the Forbidden Army. From now on, the purchase of fabrics for the Forbidden Army and so on will be handed over to your Wuhu Giant Store. Specifically, you can discuss with Sun Chuanting. How much you can earn depends on your negotiation skills. .
In addition, the royal family in the palace can also give priority to purchasing textiles from you, as long as the quality and quantity are guaranteed! "
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
This time Ruan Kangwen was truly overjoyed.
Haven't you done so much just for this moment?
To be honest, when Fang Zhenghua asked him to play the double act, firstly, it was difficult to refuse the royal family, and secondly, because he sympathized with the people of Shaanxi for the natural disaster, he did not think about too much in return.
But a series of things that happened later made him realize that the new emperor was a wise master, otherwise he would not have proposed the atonement silver a few days ago.
He couldn't figure out what coordinating the dyeing industry was, but with the emperor and the imperial army, Wuhu Judian had a strong backer.
With this background, Wuhu giant stores can be opened throughout the Ming Dynasty.
The Ruan family will reach a higher level in his hands.
As for whether the outside world will say that he is a bitch and a follower of others, he really doesn't care.
Judging from everything that happened, the emperor was definitely a wise master, and it was only a matter of time before the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes were destroyed.
In this way, Mingzhu will never encroach on his family's small amount of property, and dare not say that it is too much. Within a hundred years, the Ruan family will definitely be safe.
"You go down first, remember to keep the matter of coordinating the dyeing industry confidential!"
Coordinating the dyeing pulp industry is naturally the establishment of various industry associations. Although various industry associations are private organizations, in this era, without the endorsement of the court, it is a joke.
Ruan Kangwen saluted and left. Yan Yingyuan was the only one standing in the middle of the lobby.
Chongzhen looked at Yan Yingyuan, but he was thinking about how to place this famous figure more than ten years later.
Although Yan Yingyuan was the envoy of Jiangyin, his achievements were numerous in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Almost all the available strategies in the Thirty-Six Stratagems were used, including stealing camps, attacking with fire, feigning surrender, nailing cannon holes, pretending to be ghosts, attacking with a small group, borrowing arrows from a straw man, and singing songs on the mountain...
Nothing is left to chance, each one sparkling with creativity.
Jiangyin held on for eighty-one days, which can be regarded as a miracle in the history of Chinese and foreign wars.
If trained well, Yan Yingyuan will definitely become a famous general.
After a while, Chongzhen raised his head and looked at Yan Yingyuan, then at Yuan Keli, and suddenly said: "Yuan Aiqing, do you want to consider taking Yan Yingyuan into your sect?"
