Renzi Scroll Chapter 196: Financial War Feng Ziying has no plans
When leaving Long Jinwei, Feng Ziyi also said that he would come to visit the house. Feng Ziying naturally welcomed him and asked him to help take care of the Jia family. Feng Ziyi naturally agreed.
Feng Ziying is also happy to see the success of getting to know such a "nephew".
He knew very well what the purpose of Feng Ziyi's enthusiasm and enthusiasm was, and he also knew that there were not many good people who had been with Long Jinwei for so many years, but to him, did it matter?
As long as Feng Ziyi can do things and is willing to do things for himself, Feng Ziying doesn't care about the rest. He doesn't have much moral obsessiveness, especially for people like Long Jinwei. It would be a bit ridiculous to use traditional good guys and bad guys to distinguish them.
.
Now that Feng Ziyi is taking the initiative to move closer to him, he also needs more people to help him in Longjingwei. Whether it is Zhang Jin or Zhao Wenzhao, after so many years of dealing with them, they already have a certain degree of trust, and Feng Ziyi has a hometown
The relationship between people and "relatives" should be able to get closer quickly, but there will definitely be some tests, such as caring for the Jia family, which is also considered one.
As for what Feng Ziyi wants, it's not a big deal to Feng Ziying. It doesn't matter whether it's Zhang Jin or even Lu Song, who is at a higher level. As long as there is a chance, he can just say a few words to help.
Feng Ziying actually listened to what Jia's mother said, and sold the Jia family's assets as soon as possible and sold them at a good price. It is estimated that the court will soften the handling of the Jia family's children. Otherwise, it will be like a noose, always tightening
On the Jia family's neck, it could be fatal at any time.
For Jia Mu, the most important thing is to get rid of the constraints on Baoyu, Jia Huan and even Jia Lan's official careers as soon as possible, and this also depends on the attitude of the court.
The sooner this problem is solved, the sooner the Jia family can get over it, leaving a glimmer of hope for a chance to make a comeback in the future.
I have to say that Jia Mu still understands this issue very thoroughly, but Feng Ziying also knows that this is only one aspect. If she does not help push it, Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan will be released for a long time.
They can only live with their tails between their legs, and they can never get rid of their status as relatives of criminals and criminals, which also means that they can't expect to have any ideas in other aspects.
Feng Ziying, who returned to the house, and Baochai Baoqin, Yingchun and Aunt Xue, who had been waiting for a long time, reported the situation and reassured them first, and then told Yuanyang, Ping'er and the others about the situation.
Yuanyang proposed that she want to visit, but Feng Ziying did not agree for the time being. She only said that she needed to slow down for a while and sort out the interpersonal relationships before bringing other people in.
*******
It was already midnight when Jia Yucun returned to his house.
He has been very busy during this period of time.
The establishment of the Nanjing Imperial Court made his identity as Jinling Prefect suddenly become very popular, but at the same time, he also knew very well that it would be difficult for him to stay in this position for a long time unless he surrendered his name to the Nanjing Imperial Court.
Jia Yucun knew that there were actually many officials like himself in the entire Jiangnan area who were worried and uneasy, especially those scholars who were originally from the north but were serving as officials in the south of the Yangtze River.
order, or simply resign and leave.
Jia Yucun didn't think it was a good idea to turn to Nanjing now, but if he refused directly, he would still face difficulties. Therefore, he was still positive on the surface, but he avoided some too explicit statements.
"Sir, are you back?" Yan Mingxiang has been waiting in the study for a long time.
Jia Yucun's face was gloomy and he nodded: "Now in the middle of the court, I went to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs to hang around for a long time, and then I heard Jia Jing and Tang Binyin arguing."
"Oh?" Yan Mingxiang asked thoughtfully, "What's wrong?"
"It's not about Huaiyang Town." Jia Yucun shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Tang Binyin asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate 800,000 taels of silver to Huaiyang Town first, but Jia Jing said that Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu needed supplies more in Shandong.
, Nanjing’s money and grain must first satisfy Shandong’s needs, but Chen Jixian threatened that if his needs were not met first, he would block water transportation...”
"Block water transportation?" Yan Mingxiang didn't react for a while, "Wasn't water transportation cut off long ago?"
"It's not about blocking the water transport to the capital, but about blocking the water transport to Shandong." Jia Yucun sighed, "What do you mean by this? They all say that Nanjing did the best job to bribe Chen Jixian.
As soon as the news came out, the enemy in the capital, who was originally used to deal with Nanbian'er, now became the backing of Nanjing. Everyone was overjoyed and felt that there was an extra boost out of thin air, but Chen Jixian had a big appetite.
I just asked for 500,000 taels of silver, saying that it was for the settlement expenses of the soldiers below, and now I asked for 800,000 taels of silver to be used to recruit soldiers, buy ordnance, and also transport grain to Nanjing..."
Yan Mingxiang was taken aback, "This is too much to eat. There are only tens of thousands of people in Huaiyang Town. Whether we can fight or not, it is really difficult to be stuck in Xuzhou. Is this guy really defecting to Nanjing?"
Here, are they still waiting for a price, or are they even deliberately arranged by the imperial court?"
"Who knows this?" Jia Yucun rubbed his cheek, "Tang Binyin has always regarded conquering Huaiyang Town as a tribute to heaven, so he regards it as his greatest contribution after becoming the chief minister, and cannot allow others to question it, so
Jia Jing stabbed him in the waist and cursed at the court. Although Jia Jing softened his attitude, he said that he could not get 800,000 yuan and would give him at most 300,000 yuan, causing a mess..."
Yan Mingxiang also felt a little chilly in his heart.
He had always been very optimistic about the Nanjing court, because in his opinion, as long as the water transportation was cut off, the capital court would not be able to sustain it for long, and the capital city would be in chaos if it could not survive even three months, but now one month is almost over.
Well, it seems that the capital is very stable.
Especially after Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu captured most of Shandong, they still failed to shake the situation in Gyeonggi Province. This is really surprising.
Information now obtained from various sources shows that the imperial court did not hesitate to mobilize the elites of the Northwest Army from the three sides and four towns to the east. In addition, it actively mobilized elites from Ji Town and Shanxi Town to form the Northern Front Army. In this way, from one west and one north
Although this is just a trend, once a pincer attack is formed, Shandong will be in danger.
Can the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army withstand the attack of more than 100,000 troops? Especially in Shandong, not in Jiangnan. Without the supplies of the canal, Yan Mingxiang does not think that Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu can gain a firm foothold in Shandong.
Of course, the final result will only be clear after a battle. If Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu can defeat the imperial army, then the situation in Shandong can be maintained, but the situation in Gyeonggi may suddenly be reversed. The current situation in Gyeonggi is more based on the people's belief that the imperial court
It was beyond the expectation that the army could easily defeat the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army and regain Shandong. Once this expectation was reversed, it would be completely different. No one would go all the way to the dark side.
"Then what will Nanjing do in the end?" Yan Mingxiang asked again.
"I guess I have to give it. Can Jia Jing be more stubborn than Tang Binyin? If he really offends Chen Jixian and cuts off the supplies in Shandong, Niu Jizong and Sun Shaoxian will still have to fall out. What if it affects the overall situation of Shandong?
Aren't you giving support to the imperial court?" Jia Yucun sighed.
"But isn't the Nanjing Household Department unable to produce money?" Yan Mingxiang rubbed his chin, "Jia Jing cannot produce money."
"If we can't change it, then we can increase taxes or borrow money from Yangzhou salt merchants and Ningbo maritime merchants. What else can we do?" Jia Yucun sneered.
"Wouldn't that make these salt merchants, maritime merchants and gentry quit?" Yan Mingxiang said with some hesitation: "The reason why the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River was dissatisfied with the court at the beginning was because they felt that the court's taxes were too heavy? Now it is the same in Nanjing.
Repeat, then..."
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe it will be better if we defeat the imperial court. Now, I can only endure it." Jia Yucun smiled and laughed. He was from Huzhou, but he came from a poor family.
He is not cold to the gentry in his hometown, and he is well aware of the virtues of the gentry in his hometown.
"Have you never thought of borrowing money from Haitong Yinzhuang's branches in Jinling, Yangzhou and Suzhou?" Yan Mingxiang also thought of this, "I heard that the imperial court is borrowing money from Haitong Yinzhuang. Nanjing won't think of it.
Bar?"
"I must have thought about it, but the head office of Haitong Bank is in the capital, and large loans have to go through the capital, while the semi-colonies only have a small amount of deposits, and most of them are transferred with bills. Who do you borrow from?" Jia Yucun felt that this might be the imperial court.
The key to victory.
The imperial court could continuously borrow money from Haitong Yinzhuang and use taxes as collateral. However, when Nanjing went to Haitong Yinzhuang for a semicolon, the answer was that it was fine for less than 100,000 taels, but for more than 100,000 taels, it was not allowed.
It requires the approval of the Capital Headquarters, but one hundred thousand taels is a drop in the bucket for such a large Nanjing court and is of little significance.
"Currently, the Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Suzhou branches of Haitong Bank are said to have deposits of no more than 80,000 taels, because according to the rules of Haitong Bank, large withdrawals need to be made in advance. For example, 10,000 taels need to be made one day in advance, three days in advance.
It takes three days for 10,000 taels, ten days for 50,000 taels, and twenty days to one month for more than 100,000 taels. Therefore, even if the court wants to come up with any idea, it will be difficult for them to do such a thing for one or two hundred thousand taels.
You must also consider whether it is a good deal or not. You must know that the largest group of shareholders of Haitong Bank are the royal family members. Even if Prince Yi Zhong ascends the throne in the future, he will not be able to disown these relatives, right?"
Jia Yucun's explanation finally made Yan Mingxiang understand, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "No wonder Haitong Bank wants to choose royal family members as shareholders, but it has such a wonderful use, and it is a good calculation."
