Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 132 Enlightenment Points That Are Never Enough

The Shen family's family business is quite huge. It was not until sunset that Liang Ping came to Su Hao with a lot of ledgers.

"Qianhu, Shen Jiaming's properties have been counted. There are more than 26 acres of fertile land in the entire Terengganu Prefecture, accounting for [-]% of all the arable land in the entire Terengganu Prefecture."

Liang Ping said: "In addition, in the counties of Dengzhou Prefecture, the Shen family has more than 1000 to [-] shops, covering everything from basic necessities to food, housing, and transportation."

Hearing Liang Ping's report, Su Hao suddenly understood where Shen Huqing's 2356 points of enlightenment came from. This Shen family almost affected the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Dengzhou Prefecture with the power of one family. It can be said that it has gone big.

There are still a large number of subordinates who have shared part of the cause and effect. Otherwise, Shen Huqing's own enlightenment point may reach the level of four thousand or more.

At this time, Liang Ping continued: "In addition, in the cellar of the secret room of the Shen family, we paid off 65 taels of silver and more than 7000 taels of gold, with a total value of more than one million taels of silver."

A million taels of silver?
Su Hao shook his head slightly. It's a little less. According to his estimation, there should be two to three million yuan, but it's understandable. Most of the Shen family's money should be bought into land. In this era, land is the only thing that exists in the family. Genji, just like his father, has worked hard all his life, and most of the money has been bought in fields, leaving only two or three thousand taels of cash. If we really want to calculate it all in silver, the 300+ mu of fertile land alone is worth it Millions of taels of silver.

After Liang Ping finished speaking, he stood aside with a sad face, his face was full of worry, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing Liang Ping's expression, Su Hao also knew what he was worried about, so he asked, "What about the Shen family's salt farm?"

"Six families."

Liang Ping said in a deep voice: "Every year, the Shen family snaps up Yanyin from many important courtiers, dignitaries, and relatives of the emperor, at least 40 yuan a year."

"hiss!"

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help but gasped: "What a great handwriting!"

Nowadays, the salt government of the imperial court buys salt quotations with silver, but for the wealthy salt merchants everywhere, the salt quotations cannot be bought with silver, because as soon as the imperial court’s salt quotations come out, they will fall into the court immediately. In the hands of those bigwigs.

As for why those bigwigs want to use Yanyin, it's nothing more than four words, it's profitable!
The salt quotations issued by the imperial court cost about two to three silver taels per quotation, and when it was high, it was four yuan. However, the prices that those bigwigs sold to wealthy salt merchants in various places were more than one tael per quotation.

Ha ha!

You don’t even need to dirty your hands, just move your mouth, and tens of thousands of 10,000+ silver will be in your hands. The salt quotations issued by the imperial court are about 400 million yuan a year, and one quotation is a huge profit of one tael of silver. It's half a year's tax from the imperial court!
The Shen family has to pay more than 50 taels of silver for these salts every year. This is a big deal. After all, the general price of salt today is twenty or thirty coppers per catty. It is not a big problem to recover the cost, but they want to make huge profits. , can only rely on private salt.

But this also means that his troubles will not be trivial. After all, the Shen family spends so much money to befriend those big shots in the court, and Shen Huqing's uncle is also a high-ranking official from the third rank. If he is not careful, he will become an evil official who harms good people.

"You guys keep copying. Find out all the properties of the Shen family. I will arrange other things myself."

After thinking for a while, Su Hao waved his hand: "Also, give me a list of the minions of the Shen family."

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liang Ping immediately felt relieved, even Su Hao, the person involved, was not worried, and he didn't need the emperor to be in a hurry to kill the eunuch.

At this time, Su Hao suddenly said: "This time I have brought a few brothers to take risks with me. Liang Baihu took out 10 taels of silver from the money that was seized, and the brothers will share the profit."

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat more grass. Su Hao also understands that he is not the kind of rigid person who doesn't know how to accommodate. If he wants to build his own power, he must let the people below benefit. The people below will stick close to him.

"Thank you Thousand Households for the reward!"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liang Ping hurriedly bowed and bowed. 10 taels of silver is already quite a lot. Even if each of the four trial families gets 1 taels, he and Tian Ming can each share 3 taels of silver.

Although they are first-class fighters, 3 taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if they don’t eat or drink, they will have to save 3 taels of silver for three years. If they practice normally, if they want to save 3 taels of silver, at least It will take ten years.

...

On the second day, Su Hao led hundreds of soldiers from the guard, escorted hundreds of Shen clan members and hundreds of carriages out of Shen's house
Seeing the mighty convoy, the entire county became lively in an instant. People rushed to the streets, beating gongs and drums, and some shops even set off firecrackers. Qi Ming is much more lively than New Year's Eve.

Not far away, Liu Yu, the county magistrate in casual clothes, watched Su Hao go far away, with a flash of hatred in his eyes. He came to Wendeng County for three years, and the Shen family would send tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. Now Su Hao has captured the entire Shen family. With most of his financial resources, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have strong men, how could he just sit idly by like this.

However, thinking of the many secret letters he had sent out, the corners of Liu Yu's lips rose slightly. As the first family in Dengzhou Prefecture, the Shen family was also one of the famous salt merchants in Daming, with connections all over the entire Ming Dynasty. Jin Yiwei Qianhu can be shaken.

Once the Shen family's network is mobilized, the crimes that Su Hao put on the Shen family can be easily washed away.

Thinking of the benefits he would get after the Shen family got rid of the charges, Liu Yu's heart beat instantly accelerated. Not to mention how much money he had, the Shen family's network alone could save him more than ten years of suffering.

.........

It is thousands of miles away from Wendeng County to Jinan Mansion. With hundreds of horse-drawn carriages and hundreds of Shen clan members, Su Hao and his party walked for nearly ten days before returning to Jinan Mansion.

When the huge convoy entered Jinan Mansion, all the officials kept Su Hao at a distance, even Tong Lian chose to avoid it. No one thought that Su Hao would do something after leaving the Jinyiwei Yamen for a few days. Such a big deal.

That's the Shen family!
Among the entire Shandong Chief Envoys, the Shen family is almost the family with the longest prosperous period except for those of the Kong family. It has existed since the Yuan Dynasty, and it has been prosperous for 200 years, and its power is getting bigger and bigger. , I didn't expect to be uprooted by Su Hao this time.

Regarding this situation, Su Hao just smiled lightly. He has known for a long time that all the officials of the Shandong Chief Commissioner are going to the court to impeach him for harming good people.

As soon as he entered Jinyiwei Yamen, Su Hao saw Tang Xiangjin, Yang Bao, and Hao Yi greet him.

"Thousands."

The three bowed their hands together.

"The three brothers don't need to be so polite."

Seeing that the three of them did not choose to avoid them like Tong Lian, a smile appeared on Su Hao's face.

Seeing that Su Hao didn't seem to take the matter to heart, Tang Xiangjin couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Qianhu, you are too impulsive, that's the Shen family."

They Jinyiwei were not welcomed by the civil servants. The civil servants suffered a big loss in the Qingzhou case before. The officials of the Donglin Party were almost squeezed out by [-]%, and the civil servants on the entire canal were nearly half. , The eunuchs almost completely controlled the entire canal.

Now Su Hao not only killed the head of the Shen family, but also ransacked the Shen family. To the civil servants, it was a complete provocation, so it's no wonder that the civil servants are fighting against each other.

Su Hao smiled softly: "Don't worry, brothers, I have already made arrangements. This time I am planning to go to Beijing. If you brothers are interested, you can come to Beijing with me."

Tang Xiangjin and the three of them were taken aback when they heard Su Hao's words of wooing, but then they fell into deep thought again. It is like a big gamble to seek refuge with Su Hao at this time. If Su Hao can really survive the siege of civil servants Come down, then Su Hao's future will be bright, but if Su Hao loses, they will also suffer.

Seeing the tangled expressions on the faces of Tang Xiangjin and the others, Su Hao didn't intend to urge him. He just smiled and walked towards his attic. Whether Tang Xiangjin and the others are willing to take refuge with him depends on their own wishes. It is useless to force them.

When they came to the treasure house, Zhao Xiaoer and his wife were meditating and practicing. Su Hao didn't disturb the two of them. He just checked the status of the two foxes, Hu Ba and Hu 12. After finding that there was no problem, he returned to the third floor.

Enlightenment points: 3876
Looking at the system panel, Su Hao lightly tapped on the desktop. When he left Wendeng County, he slaughtered several of Shen Huqing's minions. They contributed 421 points to him. It was the harvest of his ten-day journey. After getting started with the concept of the nine-tailed white fox, the concept of the monster clan brought him two surprises.

One is that the first time to improve the Nine-Tailed White Fox Concept requires 8 enlightenment points. According to the rules of the system, the stronger a skill is, the more enlightenment points are needed to improve it. Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu only needs 5 points.

The Nine-Tailed White Fox Conception requires 8 points, which means that the level of the conception of this conception is much higher than the Su family’s paper-controlling secret technique. According to the records of the Nine-Tailed White Fox Conception, if it can be cultivated to the extreme, it can be condensed into a flawless primordial spirit , Wuxia Yuanshen can live alone without the human body, and can even be reborn from the body, maintaining a special state of longevity.

The second surprise is that the enlightenment points needed to comprehend the technique of distraction and mind transformation derived from the paper control secret technique were much less, from six thousand points to four thousand points, a full reduction of two thousand points.

"Thousands."

At this time, Liao Qing's voice came from downstairs.

"Come up."

Hearing Liao Qing's voice, Su Hao withdrew his thoughts.

"Qianhu, here are the swordsmanship and martial arts moves and military manuals you ordered me to collect."

Liao Qing put more than a dozen books in front of Su Hao: "The book of war was restricted by the imperial court, and the officials only collected two books, which were compiled by the two nobles who were implicated in the Lan Yu case at the beginning of the founding of the country. Remnants."

"The rest are all sword techniques, basically all the sword techniques of the various sects in the Jianghu, and there are a few powerful sword techniques circulated in the Jianghu, but they only have moves, without supporting inner skills."

Hearing Liao Qing's words, Su Hao took out one of the military books. This military book was compiled by Huaiyuan Hou Cao Xing. Regarding the military formation, he also collected a lot of information during this period. Now the military formation commonly used by the court is divided into two kind.

One is a full set of military formations including inner strength, martial arts moves, and formation coordination. This kind of military formation, like the Shaolin Eighteen Arhats, requires long-term training and cultivation, but it is different from the Eighteen Arhats. The requirements for cooperation are not so high. In this kind of army formation, each soldier is like an independent part. , Usually also the personal bodyguard of the general.

The second type is a super-simplified version of the first type. There is no inner strength and mentality, and the moves are simplified a lot. The formation coordination is only a superficial part. After ten days and half a month of training, it will be effective. If there are good seedlings, they can become a substitute for the first type of army formation.

And neither of these two formations is suitable for his paper figurines, because even the second type requires a certain amount of wisdom. He hasn't learned a little spiritual general yet, so he completely depends on his control. He doesn't have this kind of multitasking right now. ability, so what he needs is a set of military formations suitable for paper figurines.

"Try to help me collect a few more military books."

Su Hao closed the book of war. Although his current enlightenment point is enough to comprehend the army formation, but it is a little bit less. His current enlightenment point is far from being able to squander it at will.

He still has several secret arts that he has not comprehended, and the secret art of controlling paper and the art of throwing paper into a war have not yet reached their peak. He needs to gain enlightenment everywhere, and enlightenment is rare. Those big men have countless interests behind them, and they are moving at every turn. One is troublesome, let alone more.

Liao Qing nodded and said, "I understand."

"Go to the treasury to pay 1 taels of silver, break through to the first-class realm as soon as possible, and be the official's personal follower, your strength is still a bit weak."

At this time, Su Hao spoke again.

"Thank you Thousand Households for the reward!"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liao Qing hurriedly saluted. He is only a second-rate martial artist, and every time he goes on a mission, he only has three or five small skills, worth three to five hundred taels of silver, and even 500 taels of silver. He may not be able to save it even in 1 years.

Moreover, since the death of his leading team of hundreds of households, he has seldom set out missions. After all, second-rate warriors are not masters. If they encounter some who hide their strength, the probability of capsized in the gutter is not small.

"Go down."

Su Hao chuckled lightly and said, "Just don't disappoint me for all my painstaking efforts."
