Chapter 1707 Deep Palace
"It's hard for Lord Shi Dong." Wang Faxiang's family has no clan. People with clans generally do not become rogues. They are all destitute clans or people without clans in the city. Therefore, when they hear these bullshit things that Shi Congbin encountered in the clan, they can't help but show sympathy on their faces.
"It's a good thing for the next two years." Shi Congbin said lightly, "Family family, only if there is a family, there is a clan. No matter how big a family is, it was founded by a small family. Like the country, the family can also be from nothing to something, from rise to decline. The Shi family has been passed down for two hundred years and has been living together. However, there are also many people who left the clan. I think that if you leave the clan, you may not be unable to do something, and you even feel that it is better than now."
Wang Faxiang said curiously, "Why is Master Shi Dong so confident?"
Shi Congbin smiled and said, "This is because he is connected with Hutchison. He is confident that Hutchison will be regarded as his own. He also firmly believes that Lord Zhang, who can win the world, does not want to be a minister of the dragon, but only wants to continue doing business. He also firmly believes that as long as he remembers the world, a businessman who can manage such a connection will sooner or later be worth a huge fortune."
"Great Good." Wang Faxiang has met many businessmen recently, just to examine the nature of the merchants, and to choose those who have written letters and cooperate with them with responsibility. The one with Shi surnamed is obviously the best among them.
"I also know the conflict between Brother Shi and the family, and I also know that Brother Shi and his nephew have had a quarrel." Wang Faxiang's tone became more intimate and moved closer to Shi Congbin and said, "This time I meet, I want to inform Brother Shi that there are two options for the goods purchased by merchants from all over the world. One is to let us ship the goods slowly, and we will lower the price to make up for everyone's losses. The other is to return the full amount of the goods, but we cannot refund the extra money. If the account deposits the bank, we will refund it to everyone according to the amount. If the insurance business has already collected the money but cannot be entrusted on the road, the insurance premium will be refunded in full, plus 30% of the loss compensation."
Shi Congbin was stunned when he heard this and said involuntarily, "Since ancient times, I have never heard of such a strange thing!"
In the thoughts of Shi Congbin and others, Hutchison probably suffered a lot this time. Thank God if he could return half of the money in the account.
Hutchison has become a rebellion, and He Daming will have a situation of never ending. The deposit of the account was originally deposited by merchants on the Ming Dynasty. The two sides have already fought. Why did Hutchison even withdraw the bank of the Ming Dynasty merchants?
These silvers were not something that the court could get, but also something called Hutchison. There was no businessman doing much.
Shi Congbin felt that his relationship with He Ji was extraordinary, but he also hoped to get half of it at most. It depends on the fortune. The Shi family believed that most of the money could not be recovered. They did not directly remove Shi Congbin from the clan. The main reason was that the upper class had reached a consensus conclusion. He Ji might win the world, so naturally he had to keep Shi Congbin, and at least he had to keep some kindness. If He Ji really got the world, this relationship was used.
Shi Congbin didn't want to say much about this, but he just felt that his family was impatient to stay in the clan and did not like to deal with the government in the Ming Dynasty. If you look back, a few years of time have caused a person's mental outlook, deep thoughts, thinking and behavior. Shi Congbin himself didn't know why, but in fact, his temperament, pattern and style of acting are out of place with the scholarly family of the Shi family. It seems to be his choice, but in fact, he doesn't know that it is the general trend?
"Our goods will be mainly going to sea, logistics will be cut off, and the North's trade fair will be suspended..." Wang Faxiang began to talk about further arrangements. These things were prepared two years ago. The plan has been pondered countless times. How could the court imagine it?
As for the scene in front of you, Liu Ji and Li Guobin and many shopkeepers with semicolons have probably staged countless similar scenes during this period.
"I will do my best to get the bonds, remove the silver from the family, and get at least 100,000 taels back as an investment..."
"It doesn't matter how much, Hutchison's business is mainly honest." Wang Faxiang smiled faintly and said, "It's also to ask everyone to make some money during this period of time. After the account business is over, there are more important things to do with Brother Shi."
Shi Congbin's heart moved and said, "Is it a matter of food?"
Wang Faxiang praised, "It turns out that he is a veteran in the business, and he has come to the point."
The result in front of him was really unexpected. Shi Congbin was very grateful and bowed repeatedly until Wang Faxiang sent him out of the courtyard.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Shi Congbin hesitated and said, "Please ask Manager Wang to give me some advice and be more careful. As far as I know, there are at least thousands of people in the factory guards searching around the capital, and searching around the drawings and graphics. The first person is Manager Wang, so I have to ask Manager Wang to be more careful."
Wang Faxiang smiled and said, "The people of the factory guards are useless. They are shouting in groups of people. What's the use of them when they are ten miles away? We have rules for doing things. I'm going to say that this yard is only used for meeting you. After using it this time, it will be abandoned. Let's say a stubborn joke. Brother Shi asked the factory guards to catch them, and they were forced to bring them to take them down and they couldn't find anyone."
"So that's it." Shi Congbin did not feel offended, but instead felt relieved. He bowed his hand repeatedly, and the two said goodbye.
Wang Faxiang watched the Kaifeng merchant gradually fade away, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Hutchison's commercial banks in the Ming Dynasty disappeared, including a large amount of cash bank, goods, fleets, and personnel. This is a massive allocation of materials and personnel. Even if they had plans and had practiced them in advance, it was impossible not to make any mistakes.
Fortunately, I had planned a lot of supplies in Tianjin and had already gone to sea with ships to Pidao and Kuandian. There were also many vehicles and goods hidden in Dengzhou. Because I put in a lot of effort in advance, I was not noticed.
For personnel, many people went to Taiwan, some people also went to Kuandianpi Island, and more people left the customs and entered the grassland.
Of course, as the news of Xinpingbao spread, the closing of Jizhen area was closed again. This time, of course, it was different from the last time. Last time, everyone was walking the tightrope. Hutchison threatened the court between opposing or not, and the court was not ready, so everyone made peace.
This time, the corpses of thousands of Ming soldiers were lying outside Xinpingbao. A large number of civil servants and generals, including the governor of the army, Hong Chengchou and Yang Hebingdao Lu Xiangsheng, died in battle. At the same time, the court blatantly ordered all the people in Hutchison to arrest and investigate the property of Hutchison's business. The current situation is completely different from that of the Tianqi period.
The change of the Yuan Dynasty will be in Chongzhen next year. Originally, the change of the Yuan Dynasty was a good thing for the weather renewal and the beginning of all things, but now due to the Hunting Festival, the Ming Dynasty and the people were very thoughtful, but for Wang Faxiang, it was nothing more than busier and more troublesome.
Judging from Shi Congbin's attitude, the gentry and wealthy merchants in the Ming Dynasty were not loyal to the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, everyone had their own plans, and at least no one had too much rejection and firm opposition to Zhang Hanjun.
From being a scoundrel to presided over the current major events, it is no exaggeration to say that the safety of all personnel and materials in the Ming Dynasty was mainly in the hands of Wang Faxiang alone. The responsibility on his body was unprecedentedly heavy, but Wang Faxiang felt excited.
"Please cheer me up." There were not many people around Wang Faxiang, but he said to the darkness, "I heard that the factory guards must get me. I have to take my life. I have really been caught. I must have been taken to Dongshi for beheading. You are all brought by me, and my life is in your hands."
A few faint laughter came from the darkness, but it soon returned to silence.
Wang Faxiang chuckled and picked up a lantern and left. He knew there were guards around him, but he would leave soon. Wang Faxiang had his own separate messaging team to contact him on a single line, but unless Wang Faxiang took the initiative, the team would not know where he was hiding.
The capital has a population of one and a half million, as vast as the sea. There are so many residents in the city and hundreds of thousands of houses. Wang Faxiang has already prepared many houses to settle down, with clear water and a lot of food that cannot be hidden, and the gods cannot find him.
Every important military personnel in this security house will have one, and even a place dedicated to receiving and delivering messages, just like this house in Huaihua Hutong today.
Wang Faxiang also knew that from the capital to Xuanda Gansu, to Yongping and Linqing, and even Kaifeng and Nanjing, a whole net had been opened, and the world was woven and dogs had been prepared. Although the Ming Dynasty was huge, it seemed unarmed and fat and bloated. Just wait for the hand that could control the world to fall, everyone, including Wang Faxiang, would flock to tear the fat and bloated Ming into a pile of minced meat.
It seems calm now, but the net has opened and the things I started to do will not stop. Under the calm sea, there are waves surging.
This is a unique war. The battlefield without smoke has begun. Under the net and sword, the enemy is ignorant. Under the night sky, Wang Faxiang sneered coldly. Today's Emperor of Ming Dynasty is really ridiculous.
...
The emperor, who was ridiculed by Wang Faxiang, was sitting upright in the East Warehouse of the Qianqing Palace. Dinner time had passed long ago, but the emperor almost didn't eat anything. The imperial kitchen came with the food that Emperor Tianqi liked to use, but the emperors today didn't like it. Emperor Tianqi was not very particular about food, and his favorite food was chowder. For the emperor, it was a bit of a loss of price and a decline in proportion.
The young emperor was covered with red candles and his cheeks were red, but a healthy rosy color, completely different from the sick flush that Emperor Apocalypse had in the last half year.
The young emperor was in excellent health, and it could be seen from the records of the emperor's daily life notes when summoning the concubines to serve the bed.
Tonight, Concubine Yuan was serving her bed. Concubine Yuan was just under seventeen years old. It was less than two months after entering the palace. When she was sent to the Qianqing Palace by the eunuch, she opened her eyes wide open. Although she had been here several times, Concubine Yuan's face was still curious.
The emperor looked up and glanced at the shy Concubine Yuan. Concubine Yuan's appearance was worse than that of Queen Zhou, but she was more gentle and charming. The emperor still loved him very much. Seeing Concubine Yuan coming in gracefully, the emperor nodded and smiled, "Wait, I will criticize the memorial for a while."
Concubine Yuan responded, then took the silver cup from a eunuch, and the snow-white bird's nest porridge inside. Concubine Yuan gently placed the porridge on the side of the imperial desk. There were still a few exquisite palace spots on the plate, all of which the emperor liked to use.
The emperor was indeed very happy. He let go of the memorial, gently slurped the porridge, sipped a few sips, and ate two more pieces of snacks. He felt not very hungry, so he said to Cao Huachun not far away, "Take it."
Cao Huachun was overjoyed. Recently, the emperor scolded him several times because of the Hutchison incident. If the emperor had not mastered the palace ban and had no trust in the original eunuchs, but could only trust the eunuchs from the trusted residence, Cao Huachun would have been driven out...
