Chapter 256: Equity "The Butcher Zhu is not just eating without vomiting.
I heard from Xiao Liuzi that his Huaiyang Governor's Office has transferred all the workshops under his name to the Huaiyang company.
From now on, every time he sells out a cannon, he will earn more They all belong to the company."
When he was distracted, Wang Er's voice came to his ears again.
Although it was sour, the meaning of envy was very obvious.
"Yeah."
The genius Li Hanqing was slightly stunned at first, then shook his head with a wry smile.
He was really willing to go all out.
Butcher Zhu would do whatever it took to unite people's hearts.
First, he would use knives to kill the local tycoons who dared to confront him, and then he would bleed into rivers of blood.
Then he would take out the artillery workshops that were making a lot of money every day, and shock the gentry who had surrendered to him.
As for those gentry who had bravely bought the Huaiyang firm's stock capital before, how could they not shed tears of gratitude to Zhu Tuhu after they found out that the firm could really make a lot of money?
Given time, if anyone in the entire Huaiyang area dared to defy Zhu Tuhu anymore, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do it at all.
There is no need for the Huai'an Army to send people to pretend to be bandits.
The landlords themselves can make that person disappear without a trace.
Wang Er was envious of more than that.
He secretly looked at Li Hanqing's face and continued to add, "I heard from Xiao Liuzi's men that in addition to the artillery workshop, Butcher Zhu also confiscated the ownerless porcelain kilns, workshops, and shipyards.
All were transferred to Huaiyang Company, shareholders from all over the country.
But at the end of the year, you can assign accounting clerks to check the accounts, and you can also recommend talented people to work as stewards in the porcelain kilns, workshops, and shipyards.
As long as those stewards can make money for the company and have clean hands and feet, they can get a monthly salary.
And there is another bonus at the end of the year.”
"Since he is even willing to use his artillery workshop to win people's hearts, these other things are not new."
Li Hanqing sighed softly again and continued to shake his head with a wry smile.
In the Huaiyang area, commerce has always been relatively developed because it guards a canal.
Private businessmen also often work together to do some transactions that take up a lot of capital, and then distribute dividends at the end of the year in proportion to the principal paid by each.
Of course, assigning confidants to check accounts, recommending stewards and associates, and giving red envelopes to stewards at all levels at the end of the year are also commonly known as rules.
Zhu Tutu asked Huaiyang Company to conduct its daily operations according to the old rules, which was not considered a new approach.
"In addition, Xiao Liuzi's subordinates also said that Zhu has given all shareholders the privilege to participate in political discussions.
Not only matters related to Huaiyang Company, they must be discussed with them.
From now on, all government orders of the Puppet General Manager's Office, except those related to war, Except for related matters, they will be invited to participate.
My lord, don't you think this is a joke?
Officials are not like officials, and businessmen are not like businessmen.
That is to say, a born rebel like Zhu Butcher dares to do something else."
"Okay, stop talking, pay attention to your identity."
Li Hanqing suddenly changed his expression, glared at the powerful arm Wang Erji, and yelled loudly.
"This" Wang Er was stunned after being scolded.
He stared blankly at the sudden outburst of his boss, his face full of confusion.
Monster, this is definitely a monster.
Li Hanqing can imagine how crazy they will become once the so-called shareholders taste the sweetness of sharing power with the government.
It is no longer simply about taking dividends from the country, but from the roots.
It has established the absolute authority of all levels of government in all dynasties, from local to central levels.
The gentry who are accustomed to bargaining face-to-face with the Qingtian lords on government affairs will never accept an official who only knows how to give orders.
Even if Butcher Zhu is really wiped out by the court, the legacy he left behind will be deeply rooted in the hearts of local gentry and people, causing endless troubles.
"You, go to Yangzhou for me personally tomorrow morning."
He was not in the mood to explain the reason for his sudden rage to his subordinates.

Li Hanqing thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and ordered, "How many people are there in the family?
Anyone you like, Just take them with you.
I want you to find out the names of all the shareholders who bought Huaiyang Company.
Even if he only subscribed for a certain amount of capital, you must not let them go, including their family members."
"This is my subordinate's order."
The big boss Wang Er hesitated for a moment and then cautiously agreed.
"Also, tell Xiaoliu to get over here immediately."
Li Hanqing kicked him hard, his eyes spitting smoke and fire.
We can't give Tutu Zhu any more time.
We must inform Tuotuo of Tutuo Zhu's recent actions as soon as possible, and let him lead the imperial army to set off as soon as possible, as early as possible.
Cross the Yellow River as soon as possible, cut the damn Butcher Zhu into pieces as soon as possible, and kill all the gentry and common people involved in the Huaiyang business.
Otherwise, given time, no one can be sure what the monster Zhu Tutu cultivated will look like or how many people will be crushed to pieces.
"Yes" Seeing Li Hanqing's lunatic look, the big boss Wang Er didn't dare to delay any longer, raised his hand, turned around and ran away.
First, he took out his exhausted colleague Xiao Liuzi from the bathtub.
Then they spent the night selecting manpower and making preparations for departure.
At dawn the next day, he got on the boat disguised as a saltpeter dealer and headed south.
Then he passed the checkpoint on the Yellow River and rushed to Yangzhou at the risk of being beheaded if discovered.
After arriving in Yangzhou City, they immediately understood why Xiaoliu and others only stayed here for a few days and almost lost their minds due to Zhu Butcher's sorcery.
It's different.
This is definitely a completely different city from any other place in the Yuan Empire.
Everywhere is fresh and full of vitality.
Although most of the city is still in ruins.
But among the dark ruins, the colors of saplings and grass appeared faintly.
Facing the cold wind of early spring, it was so bright that it was dazzling.
The people living on this ruin are also very different from other places.
Although before arriving in Yangzhou, spies such as Wang Er first passed through Huai'an by water and could vaguely feel the differences between the people of Huai'an now and in the past.
But after all, they only had a quick glance and didn't have time to get into the crowd.
But among the ruins of Yangzhou City, they found that they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar country.
Although the people living here have similar faces to him, eyes of the same color, and gestures, they show a completely different style, confident and calm, with eyes full of hope.
"Old man, how is your business lately?
It seems like your place is very lively."
With full of shock and confusion, Wang Er and others found a temporary chicken-feather shop built with bamboos to settle down in the ruins, smiling.
Hehehe and the shopkeeper started talking.
"Let's make do.
At least you don't have to worry about starving to death."
The owner of the chicken feather shop, an old man in his fifties, replied with a smile while bringing tea soup to soothe the throats of the guests.
His face was covered with wrinkles, but there was still a trace of sadness that could not be erased by time.
But the old man's hair was washed clean, and the nails on his ten fingers were neatly trimmed.
Although the clothes on his body are old, there are patches on the knees and elbows.
But the stitching of the patch is very fine, and it looks like it was made by a woman.
"That's right, God never harms those who are diligent and thrifty."
Wang Er continued to get close to the old man with a smile, while quietly turning his eyes to the people around him.
There were also seven or eight vendors who came to stay and sat at the other two tables.
It looked like he had already eaten, and he was half-lying on a bamboo chair, chatting without a word.
Both inside and outside the words, they did not leave behind the recent events in Yangzhou City.

"That steamed fish, as well as the steamed bamboo shoots, pickled reed sprouts, and boiled river shrimp, can you order any more?"
Wanting to mingle with the people around him, Wang Er pointed to the table closest to him and asked with a smile.
The old man who serves the tea himself.
A smile broke out on the old man's face.
He nodded and responded loudly, "Yes, yes.
These fish and shrimps were just caught from the river.
The bamboo shoots and reed sprouts were also just brought from outside the city."
Pick it back.
Sir, you are really good at choosing.
You have chosen the most delicious things in Yangzhou at the moment."
"Then get one of the same, as soon as possible.
I used to come to Yangzhou all the time, and these are the things I remember most."
The little boss Wang Er smiled and further explained his identity as a traveling merchant.
"Hey, sir, please wait a minute."
The old man quickly put down the teapot and turned his head to the back door of the chicken feather shop.
"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, take the four fresh dishes you just gave to the guests and ask your mother-in-law to make another one.
Hurry, fish Choose the liveliest ones and shrimps.”
"Hey, I got it.
Wait a moment, sir.
I'll bring it to you right away."
A slightly hoarse young man's voice sounded in the backyard.
Obviously, because the business was so hot today, I had already shouted at the top of my lungs.
"This kid just can't bear the slightest hardship."
The old man, the shop owner, sighed softly towards the back door and shook his head lovingly.
"You are so old, sir.
You must be more than just a child."
Wang Er joked, pretending to be a chatterbox.
"It's not my son, it's my grandson."
The old man turned around and continued to pick up the teapot and pour tea for him and several other spies.
However, his arms suddenly began to shake, and he splashed the tea on the table several times in a row.
"Yeah."
Among the spies, one had a bad temper and immediately frowned.
"Don't be weird, guest, don't be weird, guest.
Little old man, little old man."
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he immediately put down the teapot, pulled a clean white cloth from his shoulder, and quickly wiped off the tea soup on the table.
"Little old man, little old man's hands and feet are not very good, and he has caused trouble to all our guests."
"It's no trouble, he's a troublesome kid."
Wang Er glared at his companion, then turned his head to the uneasy old man, comforting him with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you, sir."
The old man, the shop owner, blushed and made a bow to him.
Then he carefully filled each bamboo teacup with water and stepped back unsteadily.
"Bullying an old man, you are so powerful."
Watching the old man disappear at the back door, Wang Er turned around again and yelled at his companions, "They are all people who go out to make a living, who has an easy life?
Besides, the tea was not spilled.
Judging from your virtue, you seem to be doing a lot of business."

His position in Tuotuo Mansion is far higher than that of the other party.
The companion was trained so that he did not dare to raise his head, put his head under the table, and acted submissively.
This performance really aroused the favor of the merchant at the next table.
Not long after, someone tapped the table with his finger and persuaded with a smile: "Brother, please calm down.
I guess your clerk just wants to remind the store owner.
You can deal with him as you like.
The sentence is enough, but if I say too much, if the elderly hear it, I will feel even sadder."
"Oh, that's right."
Wang Er got what he wanted, and immediately put on a good-natured attitude, turned away with a smile, and nodded lightly.
The person interceding on behalf of the entourage was a merchant in his forties.
His face was darkened by the sun, and he obviously walked on waterways frequently.
Seeing Wang Er greeting him, he smiled and nodded in return.
"Well, old man, I'm afraid there has been a disaster at home recently.
Otherwise, why would he be so sad when he mentioned his family?"
Wang Er immediately followed him and asked the other party with a smile, "Isn't that right?
There are a few people in Yangzhou city who have just suffered a disaster."
The other party was also a talkative person.
He smiled and lowered his voice and explained, "Haven't you heard that there were more than two people in the city?"
Months ago, that traitor Zhang Mingjian led his troops to bring disaster to Yangzhou."
"How come I haven't heard of it?"
Wang Er immediately slapped the desk table and expressed his indignation, "It has spread all over the place in our hometown.
Everyone said that this thief deserves to die, Zhu Butcher?"
Deliberately pretending to be panicked after making a mistake, he covered his mouth with his hand, looked around, and then lowered his voice, "Speaking of General Manager Zhu, the sentence should not be so light.
Zhang Ming should be punished."
Cut into pieces with a knife, avenge the blood of Yangzhou elders."
"Mr.
Zhu doesn't like killing people."
The vendor opposite was amused by Wang Er's cautious look.
He shook his head and responded in a low voice, "He doesn't like killing in any way.
He is the reincarnation of the Buddha and is born with a compassionate heart.
If Zhang Mingjian hadn't been too angry, I guess it would have been possible for him to pay for his own redemption, and he wouldn't have been killed without even giving him a chance to start a new life."
"That's right, Mr.
Zhu is not even willing to kill Mongolians."
Wang Er nodded vigorously in agreement.
Then he put on an expression of emotion and continued to get close to the other party, "The reason why we dare to come to Yangzhou to do business is because of his benevolence and righteousness.
Even the captured court officials can be released alive."
Go back, we ordinary people don’t have to worry about losing our people and goods.”
"Isn't it?"
The other vendors around him felt the same way, turning their heads one after another and echoing in all directions.
"What kind of officer leads what kind of soldiers?
Manager Zhu is a reasonable person, so his brothers will naturally not be too evil-minded."
"That's natural.
I've traveled back and forth to so many places, but I feel most at ease here with Mr.
Zhu."
"They are doing a big business of selling artillery, but they don't like us three melons and two dates."

"Isn't that right?
The big water tanker erected on the riverside can turn around and pull out the cannons one after another.
Who has the time to take advantage of us?"
"It's just that the taxes are too harsh.
One out of every ten is levied."
As he said this, someone accidentally revealed what everyone was most dissatisfied with.
In an instant, the discussion in the bamboo house suddenly stopped.
It was quiet all around, and even the chirping of birds outside the door could be clearly heard
