As soon as the two extreme methods were used, Chen Guan's expression changed.
Although Ji Guang didn't reveal anything on the surface, he was still struggling in his heart.
They all used to be in power, and it is precisely because of this that the feeling that they have enjoyed beautiful things and let them lose is the most fatal feeling.
To say that Jin Ying really understands people's weaknesses.After he finished speaking, he didn't immediately force the two of them to make a choice, but left with a big laugh.After he left, there were still people who brought good wine and good food and treated them like VIPs.
This is one of Jin Ying's methods.Hit these two people with sugar-coated bullets and let them see the beauty of life. In this way, the will to die will become weaker and weaker, and it will be used for yourself in the end.
The Immortal Residence in Beijing.
Trials have already begun for the urgently arranged repertoire of the God of War against Wala.
When Yang Chendong raised his finger, the scene where all the enemies were killed was witnessed by Xue Niangzi and Xiang Niangzi.When it was arranged, it was naturally much easier. This is why the plot was released in such a short period of time and presented to everyone.
Yang Chendong defeated the mighty Oirat army, this matter is known to everyone in the entire capital, even the two or three-year-old children remember Dongshuai's name.But what is the specific process, many people do not know.
As soon as the show came out, everyone knew what happened in the first place.In addition, Xue Niangzi and Xiang Niangzi intentionally added some mythological elements to it, which made the play more interesting and let more people know the power and mystery of Zhongdan Gong.
As soon as the play came out, the situation of Shenxianju, which was already hard to find, became even worse.In order to have a glimpse of God of War, some dignitaries even paid several times higher than the market price to beg for a seat. This touting also made Yang Chendong's limelight become indistinguishable for a while.
Outside Yangjiazhuang, there are also an endless stream of young people who come to seek refuge every day, for no other reason. These people come to seek refuge with Yang Chendong after watching the play of the God of War.In their eyes, Mr. Zhongdan is a great hero, and a good man should follow in the footsteps of such a person, so that he will not be in vain in this world.
Every day, people outside the Zhuang will seek refuge and voluntarily give up their original identities, and even a servant is willing to join Yang Chendong.It's just that none of this was accepted by Yang Chendong.
If you want to develop, you will naturally leave others.There are indeed quite a few men who are educated and have good physical fitness among those who are attracted to them, but Yang Chendong doesn't want any of them.Not for anything else, just because the details of these people are not clear, who knows if there are spies sent by Daizong or even Yingzong among these people?
Although there aren't too many secrets in Yang Family Village, Yang Chendong doesn't want to put his energy on guarding against those around him.He still has too many things to do, such as arranging for Tengshan to escort the goods and business transactions with Wala.
After meeting with Yexian last time, we decided on a major matter of mutual business exchange.Now that the Oirat army has withdrawn from the land of the Ming Dynasty, business matters have naturally begun to move.The only difference is that this time the person in charge has become a mercenary led by Teng Shan.
For one thing, mercenaries do business, so they don't need to pay taxes to Zhu Qiyu.Even Jin Ying and the others didn't have the guts to collect taxes, but there was a lot of money coming and going.
Secondly, Tengshan not only wants to do business with Wala, but also takes the opportunity to observe the topography and landforms on the grassland and draw them into maps.Once one day, when the soldiers are pointing, these will come in handy.
Thirdly, if the new army of the Yang family is forming an army of iron cavalry that is omnipotent and strong, it will need more horses.And if you want to buy and sell war horses, the price on the grassland is undoubtedly the cheapest and fairest.
With these three tops, Tengshan has already begun to prepare for business with Wala.
Since it is a trade, the escorting team is on the ground, mainly because the caravan is huge.And Yang Chendong used the Bai family caravan.
Since the last time Bai Peng represented a businessman in the capital and wanted to ask Yang Chendong to come out but failed, the next day, the sixth sister Yang Qin brought her husband Bai Peng back to Yangjiazhuang to plead guilty.
Bai Peng volunteered to come to Yangjiazhuang to persuade because he was framed for drinking with the merchants.It's just that Yang Chendong refused very calmly.Afterwards, Bai Peng was naturally ridiculed by the businessmen, and when he returned home, he was very depressed when his wife Yang Qin saw him and told the whole story.
Knowing the situation, Yang Qin immediately pissed off her husband. This was the first time that the virtuous Yang Qin publicly questioned her husband.
At that time, Bai Peng was naturally very angry. He was scorned by a woman, which made him feel ashamed.But after listening to Madam's words carefully, I felt that I was being used.
He went to find Yang Chendong, and if he succeeded, he would be hostile by the Ming court, which would be beneficial and harmless.But for those friends who drink together, they can be exempted from business tax, which can save a lot of money.
Knowing that he was being used by others, and the most important thing he offended Mr. Zhongdan, Bai Peng regretted it endlessly.The next morning, I came to Yangjiazhuang with my wife Yang Qin.
The sixth sister came forward, Yang Chendong had to see her.Not only that, but Yang Chendong also expressed his position, and gave the sixth sister enough face, and gave the Bai family enough benefits.
Yang Chendong said this, "Sixth sister, sixth brother-in-law, as a businessman, is protected by the state, so it is right to pay taxes to the state in terms of original interests, otherwise, the country is not stable, how can we do business stably?" What? So paying taxes is normal, and even should be.”
To say that this is not Yang Chendong's high morals, these are really his sincere words.Not for anything else, just because the merchants in Chixian City need to pay taxes, and the tax paid is much higher than the ratio of one hundred to one, but within the range of fifty to one.
Even so, there are still countless people who apply for business licenses in the newly established tax bureau every day.It can be seen that the benefits are still great.
Although Chixian City is still too small, the taxation of merchants will not have much effect on the rapidly developing Yang faction.In the long run, it's all worth it.Just imagine, in the future, the land will be occupied by adults, the population will increase, and there will be more businessmen. At that time, the business tax will play a huge role.
With such thoughts, Zhu Qiyu wanted to collect business tax, how could he not support it?At least let the people here get used to it first.As for myself, I have to pay what should be paid, and it is better to avoid what can be avoided.
No matter how you say it, Bai Peng is also his sixth brother-in-law, and the most important thing is that the Bai family still has some status among the merchants in the capital.If you want to build a strong system, or even a country, you need not only an army capable of fighting tough battles, but also talents from all walks of life.
In this way, Yang Chendong decided to help the Bai family.Just when the sixth sister and the sixth brother-in-law came together, they said that the mercenaries needed to hire a huge caravan to do business with Wala.
"I decided to recommend the Bai family's caravan? Is there any problem?"
Chapter 226 I'm a rogue
"Ah? Us? Is it okay?" Bai Peng was very excited when he heard this, and gave a grateful look to his wife Yang Qin who followed him.
To talk about doing business with Wala, ordinary businessmen don't have the guts.Everyone said that Wala killed people like hemp, and if a word didn't fit the saber, he would raise it.Doing business with them is really making money with your life.
But doing things is divided into people.The same thing is completely different when it comes to mercenaries.
As the scene of the military god fighting against Wala spread in the capital, everyone remembered the great hero Yang Chendong, the brave man, and even the mercenaries.This is an army with few people but with advanced firearms.
Legend has it that each of them can be used against a hundred, and when facing the Oirat army, they can even crush each other with devastating things.Others said that when civil engineering was defeated, it was these mercenaries who rescued Yingzong and nine important officials of the country from the chaos.
As these meetings intensified, everyone had a feeling of blind worship for the mercenaries, as if such an army was omnipotent.
Now, it is these powerful mercenaries who want to do business with the Oirats, and the Bai family is just hitching a ride. What a wonderful thing this is. Imagine if the Bai family can transport goods to the mercenaries. Do you also bring some goods and sell them to Wala?How big a market will that be?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Bai Peng became. When he looked at Yang Chendong, there was more gratitude in his eyes.
"Okay, we are all a family, so there is no need to say thank you. Things can be settled in this way. As for the specific details, we need to bring more goods and how many carriages we need. The sixth brother-in-law went to meet my cousin Yang Let’s go talk about it.” Yang Chendong had a confident smile on his face, while talking, he also winked at the sixth sister Yang Qin, looking quite mischievous.
Yang Qin was also amused by her younger brother's performance, but in fact she was happier in her heart, it was clearly because the younger brother was helping the Bai family. "Okay, thank you Sixth Brother this time, and Sixth Sister won't say anything unnecessary. In the future, the Bai family will definitely follow Sixth Brother's lead in business."
"That's right, that's right, we will be a family from now on, and our Bai family will listen to Dong Shuai." Bai Peng also expressed his opinion quickly from the side.
"We were originally a family." With a smile on his face, Yang Chendong knew that with the help of the Bai family, business matters would be more effective in the future.
Sixth sister and sixth brother-in-law left, Yang Chendong's mood became very good.But everything was destroyed because of a piece of information sent by the intelligence agency.
According to the information provided by the Security Bureau, first Wang Zhen's confidant, Chen Guan, was imprisoned by Jin Ying for a random reason, and not long after that, another of Wang Zhen's confidants, Ji Guang, was also in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. They were found and both are now in prison.The insider came to report that Jin Yinggang went to meet the two men in prison. As for what he said, it will take time to find out.
Looking at the still fresh information, Yang Chendong threw it on the desk, "Notify the Intelligence Bureau to investigate all the eunuchs and Jinyiwei officials from the former Wang Zhenbu who have defected to Jin Ying, and find out their activities."
"Yes." Humang looked at the sixth young master who seemed a little angry, nodded his head in agreement, and then backed out.
After there was no one else in the room, Yang Chendong looked at the information in his hand and shook his head slightly, "It's best not to provoke me, otherwise, I guarantee you will regret it."
Yang Chendong had a premonition that once Jin Ying was in power, he might come to make trouble for him, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.Just five days later, when Tengshan led a company of Leng Feng and a caravan of [-] carriages from the Bai family, they had just left the capital for the direction of Oala. In the afternoon of that day, two strangers came to Yangjiazhuang.
They were Chen Guan and Ji Guang.After staying in the prison for two days, the two finally figured out that instead of being loyal to the dead, it is better to survive and enjoy this world full of temptations and beauty.
They chose to take refuge with Jin Ying, and as a certificate of nomination, they took out all the treasures that Wang Zhen had hidden when he left Beijing, and handed them over.
After a rough estimate, the total value of the silver and items is nearly 500 million taels, which shows how much he usually spends.And that's not counting deeds and deeds of land and so on.And among these contracts, there is also a contract that Wang Zhen once signed with Yang Chendong, that is, he invested 200 million taels into Shenxianju, and after one year, he will receive a one-off dividend of 250 million, and then he will receive a profit of at least 20 taels per month. It stated on it that as long as Shenxianju and Tianwaitian continue to operate, this contract will remain valid.
Jin Ying was overjoyed when he got countless wealth.After seeing the contract between Wang Zhen and Yang Chendong, he immediately changed his mind again. First, he resumed the positions of Chen Guan Yuma Supervisor, eunuch in charge of printing, and Ji Guangjin Yiwei commander, and then arranged for them to ask Yang Chendong for money.
For nearly a year, Shenxianju has already become the hottest restaurant in the capital, and there are countless people queuing up every day, and the fire of business can be imagined.It is also time for this contract to take effect.
