"Report to the official, report to the official, I want to report to the official to bring these murderers to justice and cut them into thousands of pieces!" In the dead of night, Zhou Kui was paralyzed on the ground in the palace of the emperor, beating his feet and chest, wailing, waking up the surrounding neighbors.
Don't know what happened.
"Dad, we have lost money and avoided disaster. Didn't you say that they were sent by that eunuch? What's the use of reporting to the official?" The two sons of the Zhou family comforted him. Zhou Kui was furious: "If they were sent by that eunuch,
If they do, they should report it to the official. I just want them to investigate themselves and feel disgusted with themselves!"
"Dad, if it is true that the person sent by the eunuch is a threat, if you continue, it will add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, he will do more..." The boss of the Zhou family still has some brains. As soon as he said this, Zhou
Kui shut up and looked at the night sky stupidly: "My money, twenty thousand taels of silver, no, let's go to the bank now to see if we can cancel this bank note..."
But isn’t this the same as dreaming? Banknotes are not deposit checks. Even if the cash is lost later, it cannot be reported as lost. Besides, Daming Bank is outside the Qianmen, that is, in the outer city. At this time, the city gate is closed, and the entire city of Beijing can
There were only a few people who opened the door, but Zhou Kui was definitely not included.
Besides, after Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang succeeded, they climbed out of the wall and sneaked to the north of the city under the cover of night. The two of them teamed up to commit countless crimes in the world but never got a huge sum of 20,000 yuan at once. At this time, I couldn't say how happy I was.
You can pay it back to the public with the banknote, but the sense of accomplishment is yours.
"It took you so long to scare a bad old man. You have a reputation as a master thief." At this moment, a voice floated from the air. Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang immediately stopped and took out their clothes, hiding in the dark shadow in the corner and looking around.
Looking around.
"Here it is." A dark shadow floated down from a tree two feet away in front. Night Demon sneered with his hands behind his back. Li Bingxiao heard the voice. When the Yamen arrested the two of them the night before, it was this female devil from Dongchang.
Leading the team, this person was not only top-notch in light-weight skills, but also had ruthless swordsmanship. When he saw her, he suddenly panicked: "You are not here to kill us under orders, are you?"
Moreover, Su Jing curled her lips and said, "You are too underestimating the little governor. He is trustworthy in employing people. Don't judge him by your little chicken intestines if he doesn't trust others."
"Then you..." Li Bingxiao and Li Bingxiao relaxed and sighed: "I've heard about your reputation as a thief for a long time, and I came to see you, but I didn't realize that you still used drugs and other dirty tricks.
Did you use drugs when you went to Dongchang at night?"
Li Bingxiao chuckled: "Although the nursing home in the Guozhang's Mansion is loose, it can't handle the large number of people and there are a few tough people in charge. It's most convenient and trouble-free to use drugs. What the Governor wants is the result, but he doesn't care about the process."
"In the end, you two only swindled 20,000 yuan in silver notes?" Su Jing looked disdainful, but these words shocked Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang. They paid special attention to the movements outside when they were robbing the study, thinking that no one knew about it. At this time, they were stunned by the nun.
Yu Dao Po said that it meant that he was nearby at that time, but he didn't notice it!
"Are you here to show off your skills? If nothing goes wrong, we will go back and recover." Wang Lang couldn't stand Su Jing's lofty virtues and was impatient.
"The Governor is not in the Yamen at the moment." Su Jing clasped her hands behind her back and sighed: "I'm not here to show off my skills, but I'm here to ask you two for help."
"Ask us for help?" Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang looked at each other. They really couldn't imagine what a master with great achievements and Dongchang as his backer could do. What kind of person could not solve the problem and still need help from these two people.
"I have a sworn enemy. Although he does not have the hatred of killing his father or taking away his wife, he is not the kind who will never stop fighting. I thought he was dead earlier, but recently there was news that he had been sent to the capital." Su Jing frowned slightly.
Wrinkled, Wang Lang blurted out: "If he came to the capital, he would be trapped in a trap. You only need to ask the governor to order the city gate to be closed and search the whole city, just like you did to the two of us before, he will not be able to escape!"
Su Jing shook her head: "This person has reached the Qinggong realm and can scale the city wall with a little help. He is also good at disguise and concealment. It is almost useless to cast a wide net to catch him."
"Who is this person?" Li Bingxiao and Wang Lang suddenly became curious.
Blood bat!
Where did Chang Yu go when he was not in the Yamen in the middle of the night?
As the Grand Eunuch of Dongchang, he enjoys privileges and can go almost anywhere he wants in these four or nine cities.
So he went to the big world to meet Zhu Zhi'e, the princess of the Jin Palace.
Do you think he went to see the princess to do some exercise?
I don’t know if he did any exercise, but he was chatting with Zhu Zhi’e at night, and the conversation was not about the love between children, but a serious matter that was very beneficial to the Jin Palace.
Dig coal!
The so-called relying on mountains to eat depends on water to eat water. Shanxi is full of mountains, and coal is buried in the mountains!
Although coal has been formed for tens of thousands of years, and China has several thousand years of history, the actual mining only started in the late Ming Dynasty. Many people still don’t understand what coal is used for and how it came from. For example, Lu Shen
Gu Yanwu also agreed...
Of course, the Ming Dynasty had already begun to burn coal, but most of it was still concentrated in Shanxi and mining was not done on a large scale. It was not until the middle and late Qing Dynasty that the court encouraged mining. At this time, the coal mines were all small workshops, and
Only the poor people burn it, because there is smoke, and rich people all use charcoal. To put it simply, it is not popular in Shanxi, let alone in places like Beijing.
It can be said that at this time, there are still no large-scale coal mines in Shanxi. The main reason may be that the market has not yet opened.
Now Chang Yu plans to open up this market and supply Shanxi mining directly to the capital or the entire Gyeonggi market. He is very confident in the prospects of this market. After all, we are in the Little Ice Age at this time, and the winter is so cold that the bones freeze every year.
Many people died. Rich people can burn charcoal in winter, but ordinary people don't even have enough firewood to burn.
At this time, coal can enter the market. Ordinary bituminous coal is supplied to ordinary people, and anthracite coal is supplied to the rich. As long as it is of high quality and low price, it is easy to obtain the charcoal market, and it is the peak season from now until March and April of the Chinese New Year.
So he planned to ask the King of Jin to set up a mine in Shanxi and supply it directly to the capital. Some of it would be used for scattered sales, and some would be purchased by the court for disaster relief. After all, winter was coming soon, and there were so many refugees struggling to make ends meet in the capital. They had no money to buy charcoal fires, so they couldn't.
Just let them all freeze to death.
As long as this thing is done, it can be said that it will serve multiple purposes. First, it can make money, secondly, it can provide disaster relief, and thirdly, it can allow Zhu Zhi'e to stay in the capital with a legitimate name!
Of course, this requires Chang Yu's operation. Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not allow the princes and their children to leave the fiefdom at will, he did not prohibit them from investing in business, and he was not as strict with the princesses as the princes.
Zhu Zhi'e can be asked to serve as the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce of the Jin Dynasty in the capital. All he needs to do is say a few nice words in front of the Queen or Chongzhen, and the matter will be settled!
Zhu Zhi'e was delighted after hearing this, but she couldn't help but frown: "Although this is a good thing, running a mine and mining coal requires a large amount of capital investment. At this time, the Jin Palace is already..."
Chang Yu had already thought of it: "This is the business I gave to your brother. Although I have no capital, I can find others to buy shares."
"Who?" Zhu Zhi'e was startled.
Chang Yu smiled: "The King of Datong, he has money!"
"Ah, will he be willing?" Zhu Zhi'e was a little doubtful.
"He will definitely be willing, very willing!" Chang Yu was confident: "He swindled some of his salary before and was jealous of me. Now of course he is very willing to give him a way to make a fortune."
Zhu Zhi'e curled her lips: "Why are you so sure that you will make a fortune?"
"You just keep digging, and we will help you find sales. It's hard not to make a fortune!"
"Then, do I have to go back first?" Zhu Zhi'e came to Beijing this time to meet Chang Yu. Although she waited for a month and only met twice, she was very satisfied because she knew that as long as she told Chang Yu
Once this matter is done, she can come to the capital in a legitimate manner, and may even enter the palace to meet the saint.
"The sooner, the better. I will send someone in advance to tell your brother to start immediately and try to send a batch of goods before winter. As for the logistics, you can do it yourself or use Octopus..." As the candlelight flickered, Chang
Yu kept talking.
