Chapter 30 Polygamy helps improve memory
"Why did Chang'e steal Houyi's elixir of immortality?" After seeing the moon, Chen Yazhi felt a little depressed.
"Who knows, how do I know what that woman thinks!" Wang Yi said with confidence.
Chen Yazhi was amused. Looking at her younger brother, who was a few years younger than her, she lost her majesty as a husband in the daytime.
"I thought you knew everything!"
"I don't understand why Chang'e steals medicine. But Houyi made a fuss by himself."
"I don't understand this..."
"Who told him to marry only Chang'e's wife? If he married two more, if there were more people in his family, wouldn't this be done?" Looking at Chen Yazhi's expression of wanting to eat people, Wang Yi quickly explained: "You think, Houyi is just such a valuable thing. If there are three or two women watching him, can one of the wives be stolen!"
"Oh, we women are the ones who care for you men!"
"Secret family?" Wang Yi made a shocked expression, "Come on, other men don't know, can I not know yet! Women have always regarded their husband's things as their own, house, car, and money... Well, in short, yours is mine, mine is mine!"
These words made Chen Yazhi amused. When she thought of her mother, who was fighting with her aunts in that ancient family in the south, was somewhat similar.
The night wind blew, waving the ends of Chen Yazhi's hair, and a faint fragrance hit Wang Yi's face, calming him for no reason.
"How many wives are you going to marry in the future?"
"Of course the more, the better!"
"Ph, shameless!"
"I don't understand, there is knowledge here!"
Chen Yazhi was curious, "Are you going to marry a bunch of wives or learn?"
"Of course!" Wang Yi said proudly: "The field rats... are wild rats, which are divided into two types, one is to live in hills and the other is to live in grasslands. Among them, the hilly field rats are polygamy, while the grassy field rats are monogamous. Later, people caught both male rats for research. It was found that polygamous hilly male rats have a better memory than monogamous grassland voles because their brains contain spatial memory in their brains are larger in the back end! You must know that the human brain is the result of the combined action of genes and the environment..."
Chen Yazhi narrowed her eyes, looked at Wang Yi with a sneer, and said, "So, you want to marry a bunch of wives just to keep things in mind when you get old in the future?"
"Of course!"
Chen Yatou was like an angry little tiger, and he was pinching Wang Yi.
"Ask youran, call youran, there is no good thing for men!"
Wang Yi ran away with his head in his arms.
Chen Yazhi had no choice but to stomp his feet, sway his sleeves, and left angrily.
Rubbing the pain in his body, Wang Yixin asked if this girl was wrong. Seeing that the girl had gone downstairs, he was still jumping and shouting: "Do you understand, this is science!"
"Report!"
The next day, Wang Yi was writing materials. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he put his tablet in the drawer and said, "Please come in!"
The person who came was his service officer, named Chu Yuan, from Zhili. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He fled to Fengtian Mansion this year. Later, Wu Xiao arranged him to Wang Yi. Chen Yazhi was responsible for handling the affairs of the school and Da Shang. The news from the insurance team was not her, but Chu Yuan was responsible for it.
"Captain, there is military letter."
Wang nodded, Chu Yuan put the secret letter on the table, and after saluting, he turned around and left.
After removing the sealing wax, Wang Yizhanxin looked at it, and as he looked at it, his expression gradually became gloomy and solemn, and then he fell into deep thought.
It seems that I underestimated the Qi army. Unexpectedly, in a few days, I connected the entire Dagu Mountain into one, and destroyed several large households, and distributed the land they obtained. Isn’t this a land reform? I think it’s useless to keep the land and give it to the common people, and I can still get a reputation as a hero. Then come and collect some military rations. If the people get benefits, they won’t think they will be too resistant. Because the bandits are rampant, the tax officials of the Qing court naturally dare not go to the acre of three-point land, and even the taxes have been reduced to the common people. If we count the security fees paid by past merchants, Dagu Mountain will completely become a self-sufficient small court.
"It seems that the action against Dagushan cannot be delayed anymore!" Wang Yi thought to himself, "After this time, it will be difficult for the Qi army to integrate the entire area.
Wang Yiyi pulled a rope beside the table, which led to the secretary's room and was connected to a bell.
After a while, Shen Yazhi walked in. Wang Yi didn't joke and said directly: "Help me send a letter to the Zhang family and ask them how the matter of helping me buy land in Dagushan is progressing? If so, please come here for tea in the afternoon."
Shen Yazhi nodded and retreated.
In the afternoon, Zhang Quanbao came as promised. Both of them were old acquaintances, so there was not much greeting and they just got to the point.
"The land I have bought, and it was impossible for me to go so smoothly. I borrowed the light of the Qi army and killed all the local wealthy families. Many places have become homeless lands. It just so happened that Shengjing was short of money, so we invested in buying it. In addition, there were barren mountains and ridges there, so the government naturally opened a door to convenience."
"Oh, that's great." Wang Yi smiled slightly.
"However, there was something that the government asked for.
"What's up?"
"They hope to borrow some money from the Dashang Silver Lu..." Zhang Quanbao looked at Wang Yidao with a smile.
"You mean government loans?"
"That's right!"
There is no precedent for Dashang Yinlu to provide government loans. When Yingkou was repairing coastal defense, Yingkou Tongzhi borrowed 30,000 taels of silver with an annual interest rate of 5%. However, the money was quickly paid back, and the two parties were considered happy to cooperate. Later, such loans gradually became one of the businesses of Dashang Yinlu. Although the profits were far different from other businesses, it was not a measure of money to obtain good relationships with the official side.
Wang Yi picked up a cup of tea, smelled the fragrance first, then took a sip, and after a long time, he said, "How much do you want to borrow?"
Zhang Quanbao stretched out five fingers and said, "Five hundred thousand pass silver! Three years, no breath!"
Hearing Wuxi's words, Wang Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother, do you think I should borrow it?"
"Of course!" Zhang Quanbao looked at Wang Yi and laughed, saying, "Although there is no rest, the government used the coal mine in Fushun on the east side of Shengjing as collateral, which can allow you to mine for three years! However, you must first meet the local coal needs in Shengjing. As for the remaining cost, the government will not interfere with it."
"That's how it is!" Wang Yi fell silent.
Zhang Quanbao was a little surprised. This was a sure profit and loss. He didn't expect that Wang Yi hesitated.
"Is there any difficulty for my brother? Could it be that the Da Shang can't afford so much money now?"
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, I'm not sure about it. I accidentally heard that General Sheng Jing's health seemed to be not very good..."
Zhang Quanbao was stunned. He didn't react at first, but later he suddenly realized and said in shock: "What I mean is... he is not alive..."
Wang Yi waved his hand and did not let Zhang Quanbao continue to speak. Lao Zhang felt a little confused and quickly stopped.
"This is a troublesome thing! If someone really wants to leave, we have no place to make any decisions!" Zhang's family also has shares in Dashang, so he naturally won't do the business that makes his family lose money.
"By the way, what do they have to do to borrow so much money?" Wang Yi asked suddenly.
"Didn't you say you want to immigrate to the Northeast before... Last year, Mr. Chongshi handed over a memorandum, and the two palaces also approved it, but the funds were not sufficient and the gap was quite large. Even though it was with the three provinces of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang, it was difficult to satisfy it!"
"So it's for this!"
Immigration to the Northeast is of course beneficial to the Northeast. No matter what happens, Wang Yi has to help. But it is obviously Wang Yi's personality to say that only paying money is not profitable. After thinking for a long time, Wang Yi finally made up his mind and said, "Brother Zhang, I think it's better to do this. We will borrow the money! But this matter needs to be published in the newspaper and notified the whole country. In addition, I have a requirement, that is, interest and mortgage are calculated separately."
"What do you mean?"
"The interest is profit from coal production from mining coal mines for three years. If it cannot be repaid on time, the 20-year mining rights of the coal mine will be used as collateral! In addition, the railway construction rights and operation rights in Fengtian are also mortgaged."
"Railway construction rights and operation rights?" Zhang Quanbao did not expect that Wang Yi would make such a request. "My brother, our Qing Dynasty will not allow the construction of railways now, right?"
"If you don't give in now, it doesn't mean you won't give in the future!"
Zhang Quanbao thought for a while, pointed at Wang Yixiao and said, "Brother, aren't you putting a trap for Shengjing?"
"Wrong, as Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai..."
"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten!"
The two of them laughed at the same time.
In fact, in this year, in 1876, the British merchant Jardinei Foreign Company secretly built the Wusong Railway, China's first railway, and later because of the ignorance of the Qing government and the people, they were full of doubts about the railway. In addition, they crushed passers-by to death, so the people were full of grievances. The Qing government had no choice but to spend 285,000 taels of silver to redeem the railway and then demolished it. Originally, these things were transported to Taiwan to build the Taiwan Railway, but due to various reasons, the project was delayed, so these equipment and machines were thrown on the beach without anyone's attention. It was not until 1883 that the machinery and equipment that had become waste were transported back to Shanghai, and then transferred to the Kaiping mining area and re-activated.
In this era, it was not only the Qing government, but also the people at that time. This was also the main reason why Wang Yi wanted to start education in the Northeast. Of course, even if the people were educated, it did not mean that the people's wisdom was greatly improved. This was just an initial condition. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, when the US president came to power on the sea, he was regarded by the entire Western world as the savior to help the United States escape from the financial crisis. The initial campaign slogan of the Ma leader in Taiwan was the so-called 633 plan. Wang Yi was very surprised at that time. As long as people with some global trade concepts and financial knowledge know that the wishes they said were completely impossible in the context of a global recession, but strangely, the people were like crazy and still believed...
