When Wu Shigong returned to the inner house, he found that Tao Xin had not left yet. Wu Shigong was not easy to get angry in public, but after entering Zhao Ruya's room, Wu Shigong finally couldn't help complaining: "Let that stinky boy get out of here! Don't you think so?"
Does he still want to spend the night here?"
Zhao Ruya, who came over to change Wu Shigong's clothes, immediately hit Wu Shigong. She smiled and said weirdly: "Is there any husband who can be a father like this? And he talks about his daughter like this. Xiao Xinzi is my husband's apprentice, and will be my husband's son-in-law in the future. How can my husband treat me like this?"
Does he treat him like an enemy? How about letting Xiao Xinzi finish her dinner?"
But Wu Shigong was still bulging there. But at this moment, Zhao Ruya suddenly frowned. She put her nose into Wu Shigong's arms and smelled the smell on Wu Shigong's clothes.
Wu Shigong secretly screamed: "No!". Just now, Li's mother was leaning on Wu Shigong's arms to speak. So he immediately said with three hundred taels of silver: "I don't know which maid wasted the clothes she gave me.
I put so much incense and I feel dizzy from the fragrance all day long."
Zhao Ruya immediately raised her head and squinted at Wu Shigong with extremely suspicious eyes, which made Wu Shigong's body hairy. After a while, Zhao Ruya uttered three words: "Seven days of fragrance!"
Wu Shigong suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He had just forgotten that Zhao Ruya's powder shop made rouge powder, and the seven-day incense was the specialty of Zhao Ruya's powder shop. How could Zhao Ruya not know that he had lied?
But before Wu Shigong could figure out how to cover up the lie, Zhao Ruya stretched out her hand again and elegantly took a piece of woman's long hair from Wu Shigong's shoulder...
Ma Boan stayed in Runing Mansion for nearly ten days. During these days, he reached a series of cooperation agreements with Wu Shigong. For example, through negotiations with Shopkeeper Zheng of the Minhai Trading Company, he used two of Wu Shigong's sea ships for transportation.
The goods produced by the Ma family's industry in Songjiang Prefecture were sent overseas. Another example was to use 30,000 taels of silver and a wharf of the Ma family in Songjiang Prefecture in exchange for 50% of the shares of the stock exchange and the insurance company. Therefore, Ma Bo'an's
This trip to Runing can be said to be a fruitful return.
But after seeing Ma Bo'an spending money like this again and again, Wu Shigong and others realized that they were short-sighted. It turned out that the richest family in the world actually had so much money. As long as the money from the Ma family arrived, plus the money that Wu Shigong was about to issue,
With twenty thousand taels of bonds, Runingjun will no longer have to worry about a shortage of cash in a short period of time.
What makes Wu Shigong even more happy is that during this period, Wu Shigong's private wealth has increased a lot. At least the gift Ma Boan gave when he left was really generous. In addition, the pier in Songjiang Mansion belongs to Wu Shigong privately.
It's just that the Runing Army can use it for free. So now Wu Shigong finally has real estate in Shanghai, where land is at a premium.
So Wu Shigong began to fantasize about buying up the land in Lujiazui and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, so that the Oriental Pearl Tower and Qidian.com would have no place to stand.
The initial stock issuance also went smoothly because the volume was not large, and gentry came to support it. There were also people like Xue Yongli who followed Wu Shigong, so all the stocks were basically sold short.
Only Mother Li’s stocks were unsalable due to a bad reputation. Wu Shigong simply spent all his money to buy those unsalable stocks. To express his gratitude, Mother Li stayed in the house that Wu Shigong gave her, which was the house where Zhu Qilan originally arranged to live.
In the house, I communicated with Wu Shigong several times.
Of course, Wu Shigong would not let his money go down the drain, so he also taught Mother Li several tricks. For example: cultivating a group of catwalk catwalkers; stereotypically printing fashion books that women only read... Although because of the times,
Limitation cannot have the effect of turning stone into gold, but it has also brought great benefits to Mrs. Li.
Mother Li was full of tricks on the bed, and she would also bring some fresh products for Wu Shigong to eat. After a few times, Wu Shigong, who was annoyed by the inner house, couldn't help but think: "Actually, it's not bad to steal things without any worries. Really.
Salute to the feminists! Monogamy is good!”
Time quickly arrived in May of the eighth year of Chongzhen. Xue Yongli's expedition was just a military parade as expected, and there was no decent battle at all. And the bandits from the three counties in the southern part of Kaifeng Prefecture also came to the army one after another.
Xue Yongli surrendered.
Compared with the success of the Runing Army, the pacification of Governor Xuanmo was quite unsatisfactory. It should be said that the pacification method adopted by the Runing Army was not unusual at all. It was nothing more than a method of intimidation by a large army and inducement and inducement.
Comparatively speaking, from the perspective of the bandits who don't know the truth, Xuanmo's army is always stronger than Runing's army. And Xuanmo's inducements are also more weighty. At least the Runing army can only give some pheasant appointments, while Xuanmo's army can only give some pheasant appointments.
Mo Qing can give some formal official positions.
But Xuanmo's peace is still far inferior to that of the Runing Army. Apart from the reason why a group of bandits were driven to northern Henan by the Runing Army, the main reason is that the power of the Runing Army is a systematic project. Xuanmo
It can't be imitated at all.
To be fair, how good would you say the Runing Army is really? That's not necessarily true. But in the era of the late Ming Dynasty, it was precisely the Runing Army that was better than others in all aspects, and this showed that he was
of excellence.
In the land enclosures and salt industry, the Runing Army obtained financial resources for themselves by sacrificing some of the interests of the gentry and even property-owning common people. Especially in the land enclosures, some farmers and small landowners were even excluded from the identification of ownerless land.
All the land was taken away.
But what the Runing Army gave them was at least a chance to survive, and they also gave the big gentry a portion of their land income. Compared with the displacement and precarious situation caused by natural disasters, the Runing Army's approach was still so much better than that of the imperial court and the peasant rebel army.
Little by little.
Due to the appointment of a large number of officials at the township level, the Runing Army's control over the grassroots is slightly better than that of the imperial court. Moreover, because the Runing Army was founded, many bad habits have not been developed, so bureaucracy, corruption and other bad habits in officialdom are not as good as those of the imperial court.
The dark officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty was much better.
The military pay for the ordinary soldiers of the Runing Army is nothing more than the military pay set by the imperial court, and even the military pay for the auxiliary soldiers can only get a few percent. However, the military pay of the Runing Army is never withheld or delayed, which is better than other Ming armies.
This allows the Runing Army to carry out high-intensity training legitimately, allowing the entire army to maintain a strong combat effectiveness.
There are also many major and minor advantages in other aspects. The accumulation of these little bits has allowed the Runing Army to leave other political groups except Houjin far behind.
More importantly, Runing Army gives everyone in the group hope. They all firmly believe that as long as they work hard, they will have a better future. And the people of Runing Army are even more convinced that they can lead them to realize their dreams.
The only one left is Wu Shigong, the leader of the Runing Army. (To be continued...)
