Come to Daming with military supplies

"You don't have to worry, there is Liulang here, and no one in this world can hurt you. Just stay in Yangjiazhuang." Said in an extremely firm voice, at this moment, Yang Chendong is so confident , making the four women fascinated by it and unable to extricate themselves.

Feeling that the four women were not in a panic anymore, Yang Chendong smiled and said: "Okay, then we can do whatever we should do. Shenxianju and Tianwaitian need normal business operations to stabilize people's hearts. If there is If possible, if the housing market close to them is willing to sell, and if the price is right, we can sell them, and it is time to expand our business.”

For ordinary people, war is naturally a disaster.But for some people, it is full of countless business opportunities.Everything depends on what position you are in, what kind of information you can learn, and what kind of initiative you have.

As far as Yang Chendong is concerned, the three are all missing. If he can't maximize his benefits under such a situation, then the previous preparations and plans are really meaningless.

"Buy, buy, buy!"

This was Yang Chendong's first order to Hu Yan's four daughters, and also his first task as his wife.

In order to make the best of things, a total of 500 million taels of cash was moved out of the cellar of Yangjiazhuang. These were all prepared by Yang Chendong before the civil fort, in order to deal with the current situation right now. .

"Tell Leng Song, you can speed up, and you have to be bolder. You must rush outside the capital within five days." Yang Chendong looked at the brothers Leng Feng who moved the money to the soft-handed Leng Feng, and gave Humang an order with his mouth, but in his heart I was thinking about another question.It takes so much trouble to move the silver bills, it seems necessary to consider the silver bills.

The emergence of silver bills is a great progress in the history of money.Some people in the coin industry believe that the origin of Chinese silver notes can be traced back to the "white buckskin coins" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the "flying money" of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty.

"Flying money" is essentially just a kind of exchange business. It does not participate in circulation and does not perform the function of currency, so it is not a bank note in the true sense.The "silver notes" in Chengdu, Sichuan during the Northern Song Dynasty were the beginning of real silver notes.However, due to various reasons, the system was not perfect, and in the end it was not carried out on a large scale.

In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, although the bank note system was further improved, it was still difficult to obtain safe approval from the people.Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the economy of the Qing Dynasty was difficult and the national treasury was empty. In order to raise military expenses, it had to change its original intention of not printing and issuing bank notes for 200 years. official ticket.The Ministry of Household Official Tickets issued this time are based on silver taels and are divided into five types: one tael, three taels, five taels, ten taels, and 50 taels.In the upper middle of the face, there are two scripts in Manchu and Chinese, and the official ticket of the Ministry of household; four characters.

That is, from that time on, silver bills really became one of the paper "currencies" that can be circulated.

Although it is stated that there are government-made bank notes in the dynasty, most of them are government-to-government internal transactions, and ordinary people and even businessmen rarely participate.The system is not perfect, so that these bank notes may become a piece of waste paper at any time, who would dare to exchange them with silver?

Not to mention others, even Yang Chendong himself did not believe in the Ming government.This government composed of powerful eunuchs changes so fast that sometimes people feel dizzy. Who dares to exchange all their wealth for bank notes?Maybe you have just finished exchanging money, and it is normal for Jin Yiwei and Dongchang fans to raid your home.

It's like Yang Chendong's 500 million taels of silver, which has never been exposed.He believed that if he really believed in Daming, maybe Wang Zhen would have done something to him long ago, and he would not wait until it developed to the current scale.

It is precisely because the bank note system is not recognized by most people that Yang Chendong wants to make a name for himself in it.Later generations have seen the power of state-owned banks, and of course he can see the huge benefits in it.As for the risk, hehe, with the backing of the Yang family's new army that is growing day by day, he is really not afraid of others coming to attack him.Maybe he is still thinking that other people have such ideas, so when he goes to deal with someone, he will be known as a teacher.

When Yang Chendong was still thinking about his grand plans in the future, the capital had already fallen apart.

As the ministers returned home from the court one by one, the news of the defeat in the front also disappeared. For a while, there were all kinds of words. Under the panic, in the afternoon, there were a small number of people. The people left the capital city and headed south.

Although these people were not many, most of them were merchants. They all left in fear after receiving the news that the Ming army was defeated and Wala was about to come to the capital.When these people left, most of them took a lot of cash from their families with them.

Or is it that businessmen value profits, and their patriotism is far less cordial and reliable than those with great interests?

The departure of some businessmen made the already tense atmosphere in the capital even more chaotic, and even some ordinary people began to plan to pack their bags.Defeated twice in a row, and with the loss of Da Ming's elite, they really didn't have much confidence in defeating Oala.If you don't leave, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck.

Not to mention, in the afternoon of that day, I don’t know where the news came out, saying that the Oirat cavalry lived by drinking human blood and eating human flesh. Once they were caught by them, the women would naturally be humiliated, and the men and children would die Become the food in the mouth of the other party.

This piece of news is far more effective than what people often say about how brave and skilled the Oirat cavalry are. The direct result is that a large number of people gather at the gate of the city.

The news of the so-called cannibalism of Wala was naturally released by the Security Bureau, in order to attract chaos and fish out of troubled waters.It's just that this action seemed a little bigger, and the people at that time had little information and limited knowledge, so they really believed the rumors, so that a wave of leaving the city formed in a very short period of time.

The situation of the city gate was quickly spread to the palace and into the ears of Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu.

The new emperor was horrified when he heard how flustered his subjects were.If the capital becomes an empty city, what can be used to resist the Oala army?Is he, the new emperor, going to abandon the city and flee?If so, where could he go?I'm afraid Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is just waiting for himself to make a fool of himself?

"Go and find out who spread the rumors. If I catch him, I will cut him into pieces." Zhu Qiyu said with his eyes burning with anger.

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will naturally investigate this matter. But what is more important is how to appease the emotions of the people in the city! If these people really leave the capital, then" what kind of results will there be? Jin Ying didn't go into details.But one can imagine that once the capital becomes an empty city, the emperor will really become a loner. In that case, the emperor will undoubtedly fail.

"No! You can't let them leave, Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?" Of course Zhu Qiyu knew the seriousness of the consequences if things went on like this, so she hurriedly asked Jin Ying to see if he had any good ideas .

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and there is no better solution for the time being. But in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, I suggest that the city gates can be temporarily closed, and people can only enter and exit from the small city. Inspections are also required, and people are not allowed to come and go." Take the silver and go out of the city. If you come here, the family business is here, and you will naturally not leave. As for how to deal with the Oirat strong army, it is still up to the emperor to preside over the morning court tomorrow and discuss with the ministers to come up with a solution. "Jin Ying has never seen such a scene. Although he has followed several emperors and seen their ability to govern the country, most of them are power struggles between the emperor and courtiers. It is still a matter of soldiers suppressing the capital like this. first encounter.

Zhu Qiyu was also a little flustered, feeling that what Jin Ying said had some truth, and immediately played it one by one, and then put all his hopes on tomorrow's morning court.

After a night of sleepless nights, the morning morning began as scheduled.At the same time, several gates of the capital were changed from open gates to side gates in the name of preventing the spies from entering the capital, and strict inspections were carried out. The crime of arresting him on the spot, although this approach is a little tougher, but it really effectively stopped the trend of people leaving Beijing.

Chapter 172 Recommend Yang Chendong

It was under such a tense atmosphere in the city that Yang Chendong entered the capital from Yangjiazhuang.The day to return home in three days has arrived, and he brought his new wife, Hu Yan, to the Hu Mansion to visit relatives.

The checks when leaving the city are very strict, but when entering the city, they are much more relaxed.It is this point, which is tantamount to a slap in the face, proving how ridiculous the so-called arrest of spies is.

Ever since Yang Chendong became Lord Marquis, the outings have become much bigger, and this time is the same, the number of servants and guards alone has reached thirty, and there are nearly a hundred strong men and maids carrying boxes and boxes.

Just from this point of view, Yang Chendong has already exceeded the rules.According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the Marquis can only bring eight followers at most when he goes out, but his guards only have 30 people. It is because he brought an extra hundred strong men and maids because of the matter, but the team is indeed too big.

If it is put in normal times, I am afraid that those officials will do impeachment again.But now, the capital is not guaranteed, who is still in the mood to struggle with this?Of course, even in peacetime, the things Yang Chendong decides will not change. He came to create rules, not to obey them.

Besides, in order to marry Hu Yan, Yang Chendong gave at least 200 million things to the Hu family, which once shocked the capital.But in the final analysis, Yang Chendong respected them, but this time it was Hu Yan who respected his parents, the meaning is naturally different.

Hu Yan will certainly feel honored and happy for giving so many good things to her natal family.But after all, she is already a member of the Yang family, and out of consideration for her husband, she still said the words of rejection.Regarding this, Yang Chendong stretched out his hand and scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you are all mine now, so what's the point of giving your family something? Besides, your Liulang has nothing else. There are a lot of them, don’t worry, Liu Lang won’t become poor if these things are given away.”

A little joke made Hu Yan feel inexplicably happy, and her nose felt a little sour.Although money may not be able to prove anything, wouldn't it be possible to prove one's importance by being so considerate of one's own face and boldness?Thinking of this, I sighed that I married the right person and chose the right man.

A mighty team entered the capital.If it is normal, such a battle will definitely attract a lot of onlookers, even a lot of discussion and gossip, and at the same time, it will attract a lot of envious eyes.But at this time, everyone was thinking about how to escape from Beijing, how could there be a few people to take care of such nosy affairs and watch such excitement.

Sitting in the large and luxurious carriage, Yang Chendong looked out of the window from time to time, bringing all the information into his mind, and had a more intuitive understanding of the situation in the capital.

Hu Yan snuggled into Yang Chendong's arms, and it was rare that there was no one else in the carriage, so she became a little unscrupulous, completely disregarding her reserved appearance, and just leaned her head against Yang Chendong's chest, feeling the powerful heartbeat, face of happiness.

Until the carriage stopped before reaching the Hu Mansion, when Hu Yan got off the carriage, her face was still flushed and happy.When I saw my mother waiting in the hall when I was admitted to the hospital, I ran over with excitement.

above the hall.

The atmosphere today is extremely tense.

In the past, in order to show his majesty, the emperor would first listen to the officials below, and then he would say a few words when he had an idea, showing that his power was supreme.But today, without waiting for the ministers to open their mouths, even when the ministers had just knelt down and said "long live, long live, long live, long live" before getting up, he asked anxiously, "My love, what is your opinion on the selection of leaders and the retreat of the enemy?" Do you have an idea for a strategy, tell me?"

In this way, the whole court is quiet.

Under the restraint of martial arts and promotion of literature, if you say that you are a great Confucian who understands the Four Books and Five Classics, you will naturally be able to name a lot of people casually.But when it comes to retreating the enemy and leading the generals in battle, how can it be so easy?

It's been a long time since everyone had a major foreign war.Even if there are some wars, they are just small fights, or internal chaos.For that kind of battle, it only needs large soldiers to suppress the situation, and the enemy will be frightened at the news, and no technical content is required.

But this time, they were faced with the Oala elite cavalry who had repeatedly defeated themselves. The two times when hundreds of thousands of troops were thrown in were the result of a big defeat, which led to the shortage of troops. So, how to defend against the enemy?

Not to mention, recommending someone to be an official and being a general are completely different things.

When recommending an official, even if the other party is unqualified, you can just look back and find a reason, and you can get rid of it on the grounds that you don't know it very well.At most, you can manage it up and down to make some money, and the matter will be reduced to a small one.However, recommending generals is still a battle against the mighty Oirat army. If you make a mistake, you will lose your head. What's more, the recommender will also get the same crime.Who would easily do such a recommendation?

Not wanting to cause trouble is one aspect, and more importantly, there is no suitable candidate in everyone's mind.In their view, the Oirat army, which was invincible even in the battle of the British clan, is already an invincible army, an invincible army.

All the ministers became dumb and kept silent, which made the emperor anxious and Zhu Qiyu angry. "Why? Don't you even have a suitable candidate? You usually call yourself the pillar of the country. According to what you said, you can control everything in the world, and you can do anything. But now you recommend a leader. Is it that difficult? Ah! If that’s the case, aren’t your usual behaviors deceiving me?”

In a fit of anger, Zhu Qiyu was going to label the ministers as a bully.In this way, it is impossible to say anything about killing a few ministers and other people for this reason.

Feeling the emperor's anger, all the ministers looked at each other while panicking in their hearts, and then quickly transitioned in their minds who could lead the army.It's just that no matter how you think about it, it's hard to find the right person.

"What?" Seeing that the ministers were still silent, Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he decided to kill a few people to sacrifice the flag. Some people are like this. If they don't force them to their own sake, they may not know how powerful they are.

Just as Zhu Qizhen glanced around, thinking about who to show the monkey, someone in the group of officials suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend."
