Chapter 138 The halberd He Sensen-5
At a party in the Accord next door, several merchants who had just sold the South China Sea coupons. They watched the price of the South China Sea coupons fly into the sky like a kite in the past few days, and they couldn't help but feel heartbroken. The first time His Highness, the princess, came out to buy the South China Sea coupons at the original price, took the opportunity to get rid of the success, and a little gratitude all turned into regret and resentment. After drinking, the wine surged up, and as he spoke, he broke out.
"Old He, you can't guess this, maybe they don't know about it." Someone kindly persuaded.
"I don't know? That's strange!" The old He slapped the table angrily, "The sky is blue and white, are all fools in the world?"...
"What a pity! It's annoying! It's hateful!" someone else sighed, "Oh, what's the solution? Drink this cup to relieve your worries."
"That's not necessarily!" The old He lowered his voice, "Zhao Yuan Zhiliyu was so impressed by the princess's power. The couple thought that others were afraid of them, but they were not so easy to get out of the way if they were angry. We heard that many people who suffered losses were preparing to petition the state school to thoroughly investigate the matter. If the important matters of Yangzhou Prefecture pretended to be deaf and dumb, they would go to Ezhou to file a lawsuit and go to the Ministry of Justice of Dali Temple!" He spat in anger and cursed, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Is so easy to cheat so much money?"
"Really?" Someone said in surprise, "Wuchang Hou is both civil and military, so how dare they provoke him?"
"Of course it's true! It's hard to offend the public!"
"The court is upholding justice. Did he and his wife not even take the imperial court seriously?!"..
"Yes, the world is the world of the people of the world. If the court does not uphold justice, what do we want this court to do?"
A noisy echo sounded from the next accord, and Yan Yuexi and Tang Qiantang exchanged glances, their eyes a little surprised.
The merchants jointly sued Emperor Song’s only compatriot sister, Princess Wu, Princess, and Marquis of Wuchang Zhao Xingde?
These businessmen are blinded by their profits. Are they brains broken? Yan Yuexi shook his head and sighed. "There are madmen everywhere." Tang Qiantang sighed, feeling less regret and more glad that the Song State was one, especially in the southeast, gentry were doing business and profit. If Tang Qiantang really took advantage of the sharp drop in the South China Sea stocks and stocks, he would be afraid that he would not be able to withstand the pressure of these angry gentry and be forced to spit out most of the benefits. Fortunately, even if the sky fell, the eldest princess of Wu would be held back.
Yangzhou, Wuchu Garden, the garden is deep and elegant.
This was originally a mansion prepared by Yangzhou Prefecture for Princess Wu. Most of the time the princess lived in Guazhoudu. After the Yangzhou Princess Mansion was converted into a museum, it became one of the famous scenic spots. Between exquisite pavilions and towers, flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, and pebbles and small paths were winding. From time to time, tourists and ladies passed by, pointing at the colorful goldfish in the pond. On the shore, willow branches swung in the wind, and the willow branches gently brushed the water surface, creating ripples.
Just next to the willow bank, a small pavilion stands by the water.
There were several guards scattered around the pavilion, and there was a small stove on the stone table in the pavilion, and a red mud teapot on it.
In the pavilion was a woman and a middle-aged scholar.
The two sat opposite each other across the stone table, but it was obvious that they were not a couple at first glance. The middle-aged scholar spoke with a look, and even a little respectful. While listening, the woman picked up a piece of charcoal and placed it under the stove. The kettle flowed out of steam. The woman held her sleeve and was about to get the pot to order tea. The middle-aged scholar rushed in front, held the pot and took the pot to refresh the soup and then divided it into the cup. The middle-aged scholar was a master of tea ceremony. He saw the kettle tilted and a flow of flowing down. The tea powder of the dragon and phoenix group tea danced with the torrent, and the water foam rotated along the edge of the rabbit's hair cup, gathering but not dispersed. The tea ceremony was called biting cup. After a moment, the water foam dissipated, and the pure white tea water exuded a scent.
"His decision of Your Highness really remains unchanged?" Su Tongfu looked at Zhao Huan and felt a little respectful to this woman from the bottom of his heart.
"What's the point of changing?" Zhao Huan looked at the willow silks whispering on the water, and said softly, "If General Zhao was here, he would do this."
"The specific trivial matters will be left to you." Su Tongfu sighed, "Your Highness has a good intention. Those villains have nothing to say except to be embarrassed." He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Just as Yangzhou was full of storms, Zhao Huanluan arrived at Wu Chuyuan and asked Su Tongfu to go to the mansion to discuss the aftermath of the South China Sea coupon. After the great victory in Guangzhou, the South China Sea coupons increased more than twice as much as Zhao Huan's purchase price, and the price has been rising steadily. Everyone is reluctant to sell them and is reluctant to sell them now. Those who are interested in participating can only watch it or buy it at a higher price.
Zhao Huan talked to Su Tongfu. She thought for a long time and felt that there were two ways to deal with this matter. One was to return the Nanhai coupon to the seller at the original price, the other was to sell the Nanhai coupon at the market price, and then use the money obtained to build a charity house and a good house. Su Tongfu advised Zhao Huandao to voluntarily buy and sell, and prohibit reneging is the foundation of the Zhengxin Hall transaction and cannot be shaken. If the merchants make trouble for this Nanhai coupon storm, Zhao Huan will refund the stock coupon at the original price. Everyone will follow the example in the future, and the Zhengxin Hall will not be opened. Therefore, Su Tongfu felt that the first way to deal with the aftermath is absolutely impossible. If Zhao Huan is determined, he can try the second way to do good and accumulate virtue.
"Your Highness's South China Sea coupons are huge," Su Tongfu drank a sip of tea and pondered, "If you sell them all at once, it will be a shock to the market and there will be another setback. Therefore, you can only sell them slowly. Before this, in order to calm down the discussion, Your Highness can first build a charity house and put the surplus charity coupons into the charity house to operate. These charity coupons will be like charity fields, and the income obtained from them will be used for good deeds and virtues after a period of time. Because the amount of this wealth is huge, if it is well managed, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit."
This huge amount of wealth was taken out to drive away poverty, disease, and ignorance for the world. Su Tongfu should be optimistic.
However, he was still a little ashamed. When the price of the South China Sea coupon plummeted, he devoted all his money to the South China Sea coupon to hold the market, which was a timely grace to the Zhengxin Hall. He never was ashamed of making profits in his life. Since he took great risks, it was natural to enjoy huge profits afterwards. Those outside rumors and matters, as long as the court official press office and the court official press office were fully suppressed, they might not be able to make any big waves. Zhao Huan may not know the ability of the court official press office to suppress the gossip, but Su Tongfu knew it very well. However, the people criticized the Wuchang Hou and the Wu princess, but the court official press office had no action.
Su Tongfu didn't know how Deng Su thought about it? Perhaps, Deng Su didn't necessarily hope that Zhao Xingde had the power to do the Nanhai Tour, and hoped to use the Qing Dynasty to suppress Zhao Xingde's reputation and force the eldest princess of Wu to give up the Nanhai Tour, and at the same time calm down, and then let Zhengxintang raise food and money for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. Deng Su and Su Tongfu had old friends and recommended life-saving grace. Speculating about Deng Su's intention, he felt a gloomy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he planned in detail the arrangements for establishing a good hall for Zhao Huan.
"It is not easy to do good deeds and accumulate virtues. Since Your Highness is determined to do good deeds, he must use a capable shopkeeper, either trading stock coupons, or buying and selling industries to make the money of Shantang continue to make money. In addition, he will invite some respected people to supervise Shantang to provide food for some poor people to pay for their stomachs, keep warm clothes, buy dowry for poor girls, take care of poor people's funerals, support poor people to take exams, and support Yixue to invite teachers to teach poor children to read and other good deeds. In order to prevent rumors and slander from outsiders, Shantang's big accounts must also be separated from the Princess's Mansion. A single account book should not only be made public and widely publicized, but also often ask respected people to supervise and inspect the accounts, so that everyone can be convinced."
Zhao Huan said "hmm", thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you have to act so arrogantly?"
"It's not about being arrogant, it's about being the first to win," Su Tongfu nodded affirmatively, "Only you can be honest and be fair and be free from evil and keep your sincerity."
Zhao Huan frowned and said nothing. She was very reluctant to be so arrogant. However, people's hearts were unpredictable. If they didn't take the lead, there might be some chaos in the future. After weighing the pros and cons, what Su Tongfu said was the feasible way. She pondered for a while, finally nodded and said, "According to what Mr. Su said, I should make arrangements, and I would like to ask Mr. Su to worry more." Yingying stood up and blessed her with a blessing.
Su Tongfu hurriedly stood up and did not dare to accept her gift. The two discussed some details about the opening of the Shantang. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Huan asked the emperor's brother Zhao Ke to give the name of the Shantang and write a plaque. Su Tongfu went back to draw a list, and invited respected people to supervise the accounts and operation of the Shantang. In addition, the news of the eldest princess of Wu's opening of the Shantang was also widely promoted.
After the plan was finished, Su Tongfu said goodbye and left.
He was worried about getting on the carriage, but an uninvited guest walked up to him.
"Mr. Su Da, I am Fang Xiaoliang from Fang Ji Buzhuang."
Su Tongfu looked up and saw that Fang Xiaoliang had a relationship with him, so he nodded and asked the guard to let him approach.
When Fang Xiaoliang saw that Su Tongfu still recognized him, his face was happy and thought that today was indeed an auspicious day, and he was good to travel and meet noble people. He was originally taking his family to visit Wu Chuyuan, but suddenly he saw Mr. Su, and rushed to pay homage, but it was not just an ordinary friendship. After the two of them exchanged simple greetings, Fang Xiaoliang felt embarrassed and said, "Mr. Su, don't blame Fang for doing business. Now the South China Sea coupon is very popular, and Fang dares not compete with the bosses. However, I heard that the Zhengxin Hall will soon issue the 'Hebei coupon'. At that time, Mr. Su would definitely notify him, and Fang would be grateful." He bowed and thanked him first.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Su Tongfu smiled slightly, "This Hebei coupon is the guarantee of the Ministry of Revenue. Manager Fang has a good opinion."
He knew that the news that the court had prepared for the Northern Expedition had gradually been revealed.
The gentry and refugees in the north were ready to go and cheer, while the gentry and merchants in the south were also cheerful. Military rations, armor, gunpowder, weapons, transported north along the Grand Canal one by one. Under the joint efforts of academic and political leaders from all over the country, this Northern Expedition did not increase the taxes of each prefecture and county, but used the land and industry in the north as collateral to issue coupons in the Zhengxin Hall, with an annual interest of five cents, and the principal and interest were divided into fifteen years. The "Hebei Voucher" did not have the huge profits of the South China Sea Voucher, but behind it was actually guaranteed by the Ministry of Revenue, so many wealthy businessmen were also very interested in Hebei Voucher.
