Chapter 12 The Prince of Ming Dynasty, he will pay his debts

"Wang Banban, let those people go home after they finish eating the meat."

After watching the "strong men" take the money, Zhu Cixiang returned to the lobby and started to eat with Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, and Wang Chengen. He suddenly gave an order that surprised everyone.

"Ah? Let them go home? It's only been half a day..." Wang Chengen had a look of pain on his face, "A person took a penny and got it back in half a day. Isn't this money so easy to take?"

Zhu Cixi smiled: "The money is so good, more people will come tomorrow! There are only 1,000 people today... half of them are Jingjun and Tiqi, how can they go into battle to fight? We have to let the veterans and strong men go back to pull people.

, these people are like alike, they must know some men who can make this kind of money, so they should bring them all over."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!

The prince is so clever! He is so clever... He can also come up with such a clever trick to gather troops.

There are still many strong men in Beijing. Who wouldn’t want to earn a penny and eat meat while doing nothing?

Tomorrow there will be not three or four hundred strong men, but two thousand or three thousand!

Zhu Cixiang took in everyone's admiring eyes and thought: This trick is very common. Isn't it just a way for bankers to manipulate stock prices to attract retail investors to follow suit? Give them a sweet spot first, and then kill them when more retail investors come in.

They are all trapped in high positions and become shareholders.

It's just that this time, the people we want to trap are not retail investors, but strong men who can go to the battlefield... Today, you will get one penny for half a day, and tomorrow, haha, when you come, don't even think about going home. They will all follow this prince to Jiangnan to work.

Let’s have a great career!

But these heroes were not the only ones who were trapped. Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and his son were also trapped by Zhu Cixiang. The letter Wu Xiang wrote to Wu Sangui trapped his family of more than thirty people - this letter is now

It was in Zhu Cihong's pocket. Once this letter was sent to Chongzhen, who would believe that Wu Xiang was not Zhu Cihong's?

Moreover, the Wu family will get deeper and deeper into the trap, and there will be no time to unwind it... It is "stock speculation to become shareholders", oh, that's not right, it is not "stock speculation", but "venture capital". Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu

This confused father and son are the thirty-odd members of the Wu family who all voted for Zhu Cihong's "angel wheel" and only took a small number of shares.

From now on, the old Wu family will be controlled by the crown prince Zhu Cixiang.

The more I think about it, the happier I am!

"Master Qiansui," Wu Xiang suddenly put down his wine glass at this time and frowned, "You still gave too much today... If you give too much, it will whet people's appetite. If you give too little in the future, it will be difficult.

.One denarius a day, even if it is reduced by half, is only military pay that can be distributed for a long time!"

"Isn't that right?" Wang Chengen said with a pained face, "We don't have much money in our hands!"

Zhu Cixi laughed and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... I have my own way of making people work hard, and there is no need to give them a penny every day."

Wu Xiang was still hesitant, "If you don't give me a penny, how much will you give me?"

Zhu Cixi smiled and said, "We'll find out when my father-in-law's servants arrive."

Wu Xiang was stunned, "My servant?"

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "There are also servants from the ancestral family. Who is in the capital?"

Wang Chengen interjected: "It's Zu Zepu, he has the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu."

Zu Zefu was the son of Zu Dashou. He was entrusted with a thousand households in Beijing. He was actually a hostage of the imperial court. This man had also been to Nanjing in history and hung out in Hongguang Dynasty for a while. Later he followed Zuo Mao.

The first delegation went to Beijing, where he met his father, shaved his head and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and later became the governor of the Qing Dynasty.

But he is definitely doomed in this time and space. What can he do if he is targeted by Zhu Cixiang? Just wait until he is trapped to death!

"Ask him to come too," Zhu Cihong ordered, "bring the servants of the ancestral family and come to the internal teaching field tomorrow to meet with me."

"I'll go and ask him to come." Wu Xiang accepted the task.

"That's good work." Zhu Cixiang smiled and asked his father-in-law to tell him that although his father, Zu Dashou, had fallen into captivity, I knew Zu Dashou's loyalty and knew that he was in the prison camp with a clear mind.

"

"This...this, that's how it should be." Wu Xiang smiled awkwardly. His first wife was Zu Dashou's sister. The relationship between the two families was extremely close, so he naturally knew what Zu Dashou was thinking.

In the two years after the Songjin War, Zu Dashou wrote many letters to Wu Sangui to persuade him to surrender, and even wanted to send troops to attack the Zhonghousuo Castle where Wu Xiang was raising his old age. If the Wu family hadn't also had spies around Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang would be here now

It's time to stay in Shengjing.

The first drink between Zhu Cixiang and Wu Xiangweng's son-in-law did not last long. These are extraordinary times, and everything should be kept simple. And Zhu Cixiang did not dare to drink more. In his memory, this sixteen-year-old body

I've barely touched alcohol. Don't get too drunk, that'll be troublesome.

After the dinner, Wu Sanfu went back to his mansion to report the good news and mobilize manpower. Of course, the matter of escorting Nan Xing had to be kept secret. This matter could not be told outside until the last moment.

So Wu Sanfu only said that he would take people into the imperial city to escort him. As for Zhu Cixiang's plan to accept Wu Sanmei as his concubine, he could talk about it first to make his family happy. But he still had to take care of it before the edict was issued.

Don't go around talking nonsense, lest a bunch of civil servants interfere.

On the other side, Zhu Cixiang asked people to go to Duanjing Hall where he lived to get many "white slips". It was the decree that he wrote and stamped the crown prince's treasure in his own hand last night. In addition, he also asked the man to guard there.

Bi Zhongshu from Bijiu City came over with the Four Treasures of the Study.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Wu Xiang asked as he looked at Xian.

"This is an option," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "It is used to give to the warriors who follow me to escort you... My father-in-law's servants also have a copy, and I can't let them work in vain."

"What is an option?" Wu Xiang was still confused.

Zhu Cixiang explained patiently: "Qi means the period in the future, and Quan refers to the wealth, land, officials, etc. that can be obtained. That is, what benefits can you get from following me now and arriving in Jiangnan.

Don’t my father-in-law’s servants all have hundreds of acres of farms outside the customs? Don’t they all have fourteen months’ salary? Now that they have abandoned their family property to protect Nanxing, they are all heroes of the country. After their achievements, they should naturally be generous.

Reward. This option is an agreement on how I will reward you after you arrive in the capital.

This is the plan of this palace. If there is no official or a servant whose official position is lower than the seventh rank, he will be given the title of Jinyiwei Xiaoqi and 300 acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Those whose official rank is higher than the seventh rank will be promoted two levels to command the general affairs.

We will grant 500 acres of paddy fields to the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, all the servants will be given the title of hero for overcoming difficulties to praise their contribution."

This is issuing stock options, oh, it should be land and official office options!

The official position of Xiaoqi, a seventh-rank Jinyiwei, may not seem high, but he is still an official! Most of Wu Xiang's servants are white servants, and becoming an official is a step to the sky. And the 300 acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River are for servants who lick blood from the edge of a knife.

It is also a huge fortune. Even though they all have hundreds of acres of fields outside the Guan, these are dry fields in western Liaoning during the Little Ice Age. Because the weather is too cold, the harvest is not high. And there is not much population outside the Guan now, so the land

There are few people, and if you have land, you can't rent it out. It's difficult to rent it for food. It's different in Jiangnan. The rent for one acre of paddy field is one stone of rice a year. It's not high. 300 acres of rice is 300 stone of rice, which can be milled into white rice.

There are also more than 200 shi, which would be several hundred taels if converted into silver!

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Wu Xiang: "Father-in-law, Old Taishan, my son-in-law stayed up all night last night and wrote a thousand copies of the prince's edict, all of which are for the reward of the right to the throne! Not only the Wu family's servants will have a share, but they will follow us tomorrow.

Everyone has a share in the capital's bravery, but they get a little less. Each person is given 50 acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, plus the official position of a Jinyi Guardsman.

In addition, all servants and brave men will be given a salary of ten taels of silver at a time. After arriving in Tianjin, they will be given another ten taels, and after arriving in Jiangnan, they will be given an additional ten taels!"

Isn't the prince's style too great?

Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, and Wang Chengen were all stunned when they heard it. They were given official positions, land, and so much free money...Does your family have that much money? Do you know how poor your father is?
