After staring at Fan Wei again and again, Jia Liu stopped the curse words he was about to say, and then said some psychological words.
"Awei, although you are a scholar, as far as I know your family is poor and belongs to the proletariat, so you have the motivation to participate in the Wang Lun Uprising and the Qing Dynasty, which is worthy of praise. But there are some things we need to seek truth from facts, that is, revolutionary
During the process, we must pay attention to the limitations of the times, be down-to-earth, and not take too big steps, as that can easily lead to failure.”
"..."
Fan Wei was confused when he heard this, but he could understand the word "revolution". It was first seen in the book "Book of Changes", which said that the revolution of heaven and earth came into being in four seasons, and that the revolution of Tang and Wu followed heaven and responded to man.
It means changing the destiny and changing the dynasty.
Wang Lun led Qingshui to teach Manchu rebellion, which was revolution.
But he joined the revolution because he wanted to overthrow the Manchu and Tatar rule. What does it have to do with his family being poor? What else is the proletariat?
Proletarian sounds like the word poor, but what does class mean?
The masters of the Gui family are really enigmatic. No wonder Wang Lun couldn't figure out the real meaning of the Gui family through repeated divination.
Jia Liu shook his head, saying that it was hard to explain why a scholar met a soldier. With Fan Wei's junior high school education, talking to him, a college student, would be a waste of brain cells.
"I understand what you mean, but I, Li Zicheng, can't do it. You just can't just pursue immediate interests."
Jia Liu understood Fan Wei's revolutionary motivation and enthusiasm, but it was the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, not the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, so Li Zicheng's method of torturing officials and gentry could not be copied mechanically.
This would lead to the error of dogmatism.
Li Zicheng suffered a lot of losses. Is it possible that he, Guiziliu, must do it again?
What's more, the banner of the Qing Dynasty still needs to be taken down before his eyes. In this way, how can he wipe out all the corrupt officials in the city?
Do you still want the Qing Dynasty?
Even if I want to, I don’t have the strength.
If he really does this, the old rich man and the sexy man will be the first to fight him.
Hearing Master Gui's mention of Li Zicheng, Fan Wei immediately understood that Master Gui had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained that he was not asking Master Gui to imitate Li Zicheng and ask him to borrow money from high-ranking officials in the city.
It's a real loan.
There is the kind that returns.
"You want me to borrow money from someone. If you tell me earlier, I won't be tired of chatting about it."
Jia Liu's eyes lit up and he motioned to Fan Wei to tell him how to borrow it.
"Sir, as far as I know, most of the important ministers in the court were appointed by Qianlong. These people must be loyal to Qianlong. It is only because of the need of the overall situation that Fu Zhongtang and your Excellency tolerate these people occupying the latrine..."
Fan Wei's metaphor is appropriate, and that's exactly what happened.
If Jia Liu could rule the capital with one hand and serve Jia Dalin as Minister of Etiquette and Minister of the Old Summer Palace, where would the group of people used by the fourth devil still be left?
Fan Wei believes that it is precisely because the Manchu and Han ministers, including some members of the clan, still have illusions about Qianlong, and the Gui family is also a close confidant of Qianlong in the eyes of these people, so if the Gui family is recruiting warriors to launch great events in the name of recruiting warriors, he will definitely be able to win from Qianlong.
This group of people borrowed money.
"Students are just different."
Jia Liu praised it.
According to his shallow historical knowledge, it is basically certain that there were no honest officials in the Qianlong Dynasty.
Even the protagonists and supporting characters praised and praised by people in various TV series of Jia Liu's previous life, such as Iron General Agui, Big Tobacco Ji Yun, Luo Guozi Liu Yong, were all corrupt in real history. What about others?
I did some mental arithmetic and found that there are dozens of Manchu and Han ministers and ministers in the imperial court, plus hundreds of Manchu and Han chief officials from other yamen. If one person can borrow ten thousand taels, how can he borrow one million taels?
Not to mention lack of money, as far as he knew, Ji Da Yandian had handed over 5,000 taels of criminal silver to the Ministry of Internal Affairs last year on the pretext of accidentally destroying several volumes of the "Sikuquanshu" when he was compiling it.
Song Gui, a cabinet scholar, said that while he was reading the Emperor's Memorial at home, he accidentally dropped the incense ashes on the Emperor's memorial, and he asked for a fine of 30,000 taels of silver.
For such a trivial matter, a Hanlin bachelor who has been reduced to the seventh rank can give 5,000 taels, and a cabinet scholar can give 30,000 taels. For the emperor's comeback, for the imperial court to eradicate the rich, lustful and powerful officials, I can borrow 10,000 taels from them.
, is it too much?
Not too much!
In Fan Wei's words, as long as the master of the Gui family sends someone to the door, the money will be sent to Chongwen Gate in trucks without any counter-offer.
"Very good, very good, very, very good."
Jia Liu patted Fan Wei on the shoulder out of habit, then changed the subject and said, "But your skills are still a bit lacking."
Fan Wei's smile froze: "What do you have to say, sir?"
Jia Liu glanced at him and said, "Let's go and talk on the side."
"嗻!"
Fan Wei hurriedly followed Mr. Gui to the gate tower above Chongwen Gate.
This place is quiet and a good place for whispering.
Jia Liu got straight to the point: "Do you want to be an official?"
Hearing this, Fan Wei looked serious: "I want to be an official in my humble position, but I only want to be an official in my humble position, and I don't want to be an official in the Qing Dynasty!"
Jia Liu stopped: "That's not what you meant. I'm just asking you if you want to be an official?"
Fan Wei racked his brains and thought again and again, and gave Master Gui a satisfactory answer: "I want to be an official in a humble position."
Jia Liu gave a "warm" sound and asked Fan Wei that there must be many people in the city who knew that Qianlong was now a puppet, held hostage by rich and lustful powerful officials.
I am afraid that many people know about Fan Wei's inner thoughts now.
But what does this have to do with adults’ high opinions?
Jia Liu's side of the gourd stopped selling medicine. He was afraid that Fan Wei's cultural level was low and he would not understand, so he said directly: "Now I will give you a chance. As long as you invest one hundred thousand taels, the emperor will give you a ministership after you get out of trouble. Do you want to do it?"
?”
"One hundred thousand taels, Shangshu?"
Staring at Mr. Gui's pretty face with a slight smile, Fan Wei couldn't help but say: "This is a big business."
"This is not called business, it's called investment."
Jia Liu gave a specific method of investment, that is, all the people in the city, whether they are Eight Banners, Han officials, or officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as they are willing to invest to help the emperor escape from the clutches of powerful ministers, they will not only be given official positions after the achievement is completed, but also be given a
High interest rates.
For example, 10,000 taels will be given in return for a fourth-grade title or corresponding official position, and in addition, an additional 2,000 taels will be given as interest.
As for official titles, we can directly refer to Qianlong's operation of selling officials.
As long as the mind is liberated, there are many ways.
The leading minister, the counselor and the minister were all given one thousand and eight hundred, just like playing.
"Annual profit of 20%?!"
Fan Wei was shocked that no loan shark could offer such a high interest rate.
Jia Liu chuckled: "The greater the risk, the higher the interest. If you don't take risks, how can you get huge returns?"
It involves the field of psychology.
"Sir, isn't this a lie?"
Fan Wei asked about the idea, because he was sure that such a high interest rate would definitely not be paid in the future.
Jia Liu was unhappy: "How can you say you're lying? Let me ask you, do you have this project?"
Fan Wei thought seriously: "Yes."
It has always been there, the emperor has even handed over the seal, and the project is being started, but there is a lack of start-up funds.
"Then it's over. Since investment is risky and the emperor has not been able to break away from the control of powerful ministers, then the investment will naturally fail. No businessman from any dynasty or generation can say that he can make a profit without losing money."
Jia Liu looked like a rogue, and it seemed that he really wanted to steal a large amount of money back.
Unexpectedly, Fan Wei, as a military advisor, refused to do this because he believed that the result would be that the Gui family would become a public enemy throughout the city, which would be detrimental to the future.
"Well..."
Jia Liuxun thought about this problem, how could a liar become the co-owner of the world? After careful calculation, he came up with a solution, which was to borrow the money, pay the interest, and wholesale the official position as appropriate.
"That's not okay,"
Fan Wei still shook his head. He was not stupid. The annual interest rate was 20%. If he really wanted to accept the interest, the profits alone would bankrupt the Gu family.
Jia Liu was not afraid, because there was still a way. He said disapprovingly: "If the old debt is not repaid, we will borrow new debt."
Fan Wei looked thoughtful, he still understood the routine of borrowing and repaying debts, but in the end of this routine, the Gui family would definitely be crushed to death by high interest rates, or lose credibility.
"Let's do this for now, and we'll talk about the future later."
Jia Liu didn't think that far ahead.
Fan Wei had no choice but to act according to the instructions of Master Gui, but he offered to borrow Qianlong's seal.
Jia Liu was confused and asked what he wanted Qianlong's seal for.
Fan Wei said: "Such a big thing cannot be borne by you alone. If you really want to borrow money, I think it's better to have the emperor's seal. Firstly, it's trustworthy. Secondly, if you really want to pay back the money, it won't be the same with you."
It doesn’t matter.”
"oh?"
Jia Liu folded his hands and muttered, "First get an IOU worth tens of millions of taels and stamp it with Qianlong's seal. If Qianlong cannot pay back the money, I will be the biggest creditor and I will be the one to preside over the new board of directors."
