"It's a good idea, buy out the grain in the hands of the imperial court directly!
In this way, the imperial court will either increase the grain levy and make the world chaotic, or let the grain prices in Jiangnan continue to rise, and make Jiangnan rebel first, anyway, the lone husband doesn't want to let us go, so simply don't live!
Let's make a mess of the world first!
”Xu Hongji nodded and said."
The vassal kings of various countries also think so, the court will not let them go sooner or later, now it is Qingzhang Tianmu, who knows what new deal will be next, it is necessary to use grain and silver in Jiangnan this time to make the court fall big, either the world is in chaos, or change the owner, and end the current situation."
Dou Ding said and said: "Therefore, the vassal kings will be willing to let Zai come forward to bring silver to do this with the princes, and in the next will contact more merchants to buy grain for the princes as the shopkeeper of the Henghe grain shop, and the princes can also share dividends from the Henghe grain shop like the official enterprises of the imperial court, or that sentence, but I don't know how much silver the princes can provide." ”"Since there are already five million taels of silver from the vassal kings, then Xu will also have three million taels of silver, and he will be able to divide more points when the time comes, anyway, if you hold silver coins or something now, it is better to hold grain!
It is better to change it to the dividend share of the grain store. ”Xu Hongji said.Zhu Guobi also said: "I will give one million taels of silver." ”For a while, these Nanjing nobles have invested a large amount of money in Henghe Grain Store.And because of this, it didn't take long for more people to appear in the entire Yingtianfu market to buy grain from the integrated stores and grain shops controlled by the government."
The current price of rice in the comprehensive store is fifteen silver dollars a bucket, after you buy it, you can sell it to our Henghe grain store for seventeen silver dollars a bucket, we will buy as much as you buy, understand?!"
Therefore, the people of the Ganges grain store relied on their own wealth and began to organize the people to buy more grain, and buy back the grain provided by the imperial court at a higher price.At the same time, Wei Guogong, Funing Hou and other Nanjing nobles also mobilized their domestic slaves and tenants to buy grain with silver dollars.For a time, a large amount of grain from the imperial court flowed out."
Even if the purchase limit is now changed to a household can not buy more than ten stone per day, but there are still a large number of people pulling a cart to pull rice with the amount of ten stones, we used to limit twenty stones, because some big families have a large population, or open a restaurant, need so much food, but it is not so much that every household needs so much rice every day, to the slave maid, this must be someone in the dark, sprinkling money to many people, let the people buy these rice, slaves let the people of the east factory check and find that it is a business called Henghe grain shop in the middle of the obstruction, Playing the way of buying the grain and rice sold by the people at a higher price, the slave sent the people from the East Factory to catch it, but only caught a few downlines, who is the owner of the Henghe grain shop, has not yet been investigated, but it can be clear that the Henghe grain shop is very wealthy, and its "Wei Zhongxian reported the situation to Zhu Youxiao.Zhu Youxiao laughed after hearing this: "This is them fighting with me to get rich, don't check it first, now, since there are so many reserves of grain to be transported to Jiangnan, it is better to change the way to deal with them, just use this method to nationalize all their money!"
Dongchang first pretended to turn a blind eye, and first focused on blocking the news, so as not to let them know how much grain the imperial court had hoarded in the Jiangnan area, and in addition, to find out how much silver they had prepared to buy my grain. ”"Slave obeys!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiong Tingbi and Han Yi again: "But it is also difficult to be sure that these people are really rich and rival the country, and some of them buy high-priced grain from me, even so, I have to take out enough grain to sell, so now the imperial court does not have enough grain to transport in China, so I have to continue to borrow grain from abroad to sell, and send a decree to Shen Yourong, so that he will immediately lead the Denglai Navy Division to take the latest battleship to Seoul, North Korea, and fire a few cannons first, and there is no need to wait for Yuan Chonghuan's news, In addition, let Chen Xinbu, who has been in the water for a long time, lead the "Qi Jiguang" soft sailing ship and other new warships to Edo and Ryukyu!
When will this Henghe grain shop end the purchase of grain, and when will the sailors of the imperial court end the task of borrowing grain from foreign countries!
And the task of the imperial court is to be a big grain merchant, to provide enough grain for this Henghe grain store to fry them. ”Zhu Youxiao laughed as he spoke.After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi and Han Yi suddenly came to their senses, and for a while, they both bowed their hands and praised: "Your Majesty Shengming!
”…… North Korea, Seoul.Yuan Chonghuan has been in North Korea for a long time.The king of Joseon has always used the empty treasury as an excuse that he is only willing to provide 500,000 stone grain to help Liao.And Yuan Chonghuan naturally refused, after all, his task was three million stones.In addition, in the spring of the third year of the Apocalypse, there was another historical "Injo anyway" civil strife in North Korea.Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan stayed in North Korea and did not go back.After the end of the Korean civil strife, Yuan Chonghuan continued to ask the Korean king for 3 million stone of grain to help Liao.Although the new king of Joseon, Li Liang, was willing to give up some in order for his throne to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, he only promised to give one million stone grain.Yuan Chonghuan naturally refused, so he had to stay in Seoul, and threatened that the king of Joseon would ignore the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and that the Celestial Empire would send a large army to attack him because of the coup d'état in Korea, and that the king of Joseon would come to beg him at that time.At the beginning, the king of Joseon and the officials of the Joseon Dynasty still believed it, so they were a little uneasy, and tentatively increased the grain to two million stones, and at the same time also sent people to Daming to inquire, and after inquiring, they learned that Daming had no intention of crusading against Korea, so they gradually stopped believing Yuan Chonghuan's words.Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect that his big words didn't make the North Koreans believe it, so he could only stay in North Korea in embarrassment.But what Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect was that when he stayed in Korea until the beginning of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there were really officers and soldiers of the Daming Water Division in Jianghua Bay.…… The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, became anxious."
What do you say, the Daming Naval Division has appeared in Incheon and shelled Incheon, and has landed from Incheon?"
At this time, Li Liang asked his training general (equivalent to the commander of the Praetorian Guard) Li Xingli in astonishment.Li Xingli hurriedly replied: "The minister does not dare to deceive His Highness, the Daming Naval Division has indeed landed in Incheon, their warships are very large, and there are many of them, covering the sky and the sun, and their artillery is huge, and one cannon can collapse our city wall!"
We can't compete with the sailors of the Ming Dynasty. ”Jin Jin, the leader of the council (equivalent to the prime minister), said: "Now the only way to hurry up is to invite Yuan Gong, the minister of the Celestial Empire, into the palace, and ask him to find a way, contact the sailor of the Celestial Empire, and ask for the purpose, as long as it is not for Li Hui, everything can be discussed." ”Li Hui was the king of Gwanghaejun of Joseon, and the king of Joseon, Yi Jung, had just usurped the throne from him.Therefore, Li Liang was most worried that Li Hui would be reinstated with the support of the Ming Dynasty, so he hurriedly adopted Jin Liu's suggestion.Soon, Yuan Chonghuan was invited into the palace, and thus learned the news of the arrival of the Daming Water Master.Yuan Chonghuan was very happy about this, there is a way that a strong military is the basis for mastering the absolute right to speak in diplomatic negotiations, and Yuan Chonghuan is the same now, because the Daming Sailor landed in Incheon, he is also a lot more confident: "This official has long said that if you delay any longer, our emperor will send a sailor to the court to crusade, but you don't listen, but now you regret it very much?"
”"Yuan Gong is angry, it's not that we are delaying, but these three million stone grains are really difficult to prepare, and now we are just getting together, we are willing to take out three million stone grains, I wonder if Yuan Gong can speak for us and persuade the Heavenly Dynasty Sailor to go back?"
Li Liang personally explained with a smile and asked with some uneasiness.Yuan Chonghuan saw that Li Liang was so happy, so he immediately agreed to go to Incheon to meet the Daming sailor for Li Liang.As soon as he saw Shen Yourong, the chief military officer of the Daming Denglai Naval Division who was ordered to come to Korea, Yuan Chonghuan received a holy decree from Zhu Youxiao to him."
What, now Your Majesty not only wants North Korea to take out three million stone of grain, but also borrows thirty percent of the grain from the imperial treasury?"
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked when he found out, and couldn't help but confirm with Shen Yourong."
That's what the holy decree says, in addition, there is also an edict, if Yuan Gong can't do it, he will bring back three million stone grain, and the last general will directly take down Seoul and forcibly borrow grain."
Shen Yourong replied.Yuan Chonghuan thought about it and quickly made up his mind: "It can be done!"
It's easy, the official is going to see the king of Joseon!
