The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 116 The Big Plan of Punishment for Ming and Traitors (Third Shift)

Ma Youlu didn't know that he was going to be in bad luck.

He had a good deal of experience with officials.Regardless of how high the officials seem to be on the surface, they are full of words about being honest and honest, and they are business-like.

As long as you get on the flower boat, play with the boat girl, and collect the money.He will be used by Ma Youlu immediately.

Ma Youlu cupped his hands: "How dare the students call Chang Qianhu brothers and sisters. All the expenses of today's flower boat are mine."

Chang Feng made a "please" gesture: "We Jinyiwei are all warriors, without the twists and turns of literati. We are straightforward."

"Everyone eats the same table today and drinks the same pot of wine, we are brothers."

"When it's late at night, I went to the upper deck to play with those ship girls. Besides being a brother, you can also be a brother-in-law!"

The four looked at each other and laughed: "Hahaha!"

Drink three rounds.Chang Feng said: "Actually, I admire a wealthy businessman like Ma Huishou. You are a capable person."

While adding wine to Chang Feng, Ma Youlu said, "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, business is the last. Your words make me ashamed."

But Chang Feng said: "This statement is wrong. Don't you businessmen rely on the big taxpayers in the southeast?"

"Without you, the tea produced by tea farmers and the cloth woven by silk workers cannot be sold, and they cannot be turned into white silver or yellow copper coins. Where can the court collect taxes?"

Ma Youlu burst into tears: "The boss said so. It makes the students want to cry."

"Since the year of Hongwu, the government has regarded merchants as dumb gourd jars for saving money. As long as the government uses money, it will smash the dumb gourd jars with a sledgehammer to get silver."

"The fate of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty. You must be aware of it."

"It's rare for a Beijing official like you to speak a few words of justice for us businessmen."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Brothers are drinking and having fun together, you can't cry. You have to laugh! The horse will be the leader, I have a heartfelt request."

Ma Youlu said sternly: "Whether the students should be sent to the mountain of knives or to the pan of oil, it only needs to be one word."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "Why do I ask you to go up the knife mountain and down to the oil pot? That's right. Our Beijing officials are no more oily than local officials."

"To be honest, I live in Hangzhou with five people and six people. In Beijing, my family is so poor. My father-in-law's pants are showing his buttocks!"

Ma Youlu said: "I'm joking on the mission. Ling Taishan is the Minister of Taichang Temple, a senior official of the imperial court. How can he wear pants with his butt exposed?"

Ma Youlu slipped the tongue.

Chang Feng was secretly startled: It seems that Ma Youlu has already checked out my details.

On the surface, Chang Feng still had a smile on his face: "Haha, brother Ma, anyway, brother is very poor. I don't dare to take bribes. I'm sorry, the emperor."

"I thought, Brother Ma, can you take me to do business?"

Ma Youlu immediately patted his chest: "No problem. You take the 2000 taels of silver as your share capital and invest in small stocks. I guarantee you more than 600 taels of profit every year."

Chang Feng said: "You mean, I will return the 2000 taels to you?"

Ma Youlu shook his head slightly: "No! You take 2000 taels to invest in the shares. I will advance you 2000% of the seven-year profit. It is almost [-] taels. You can take this box of silver back to Beijing."

"In addition, I will send people to Beijing every year to give you the remaining 300% and [-] taels of profit."

Chang Feng was shocked: No wonder Beijing officials like to protect Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry.

According to what Ma Youlu said, I didn't spend a single penny.After taking 2000 taels of silver, I will receive 300 taels of "business profit" every year in the future.

Is there a more profitable business in the world than this?

Chang Feng didn't know that from ancient times to the present, businessmen have used this method to win over officials.

If you want to give money, you can always find a reason.And it looks reasonable and legal from the ground up.

Chang Feng smiled and said, "How embarrassing is that. It means that I don't pay, and get a share of the profit for nothing."

Ma Youlu showed his knife at this time: "If our business is in trouble, I will not be able to use it if the messenger greets the local yamen in central Beijing."

Chang Feng asked: "Ma Huishou, what kind of business are we doing? It's so lucrative."

Ma Youlu kept secret: "On business, as the saying goes, cats have cat ways, dogs have dog ways, chickens don't pee, each has its own way."

"What is the student's way, don't ask. Just wait to get a share."

Chang Feng was afraid of asking urgently, which aroused Ma Youlu's suspicion.He said: "Well, then I will wait for Brother Ma to make me rich from now on!"

Everyone had a drink.After drinking, he went to the upper deck of the upstairs ship.

There are five boat girls on this boat.Chang Feng, Liu Baihu, Ma Youlu each, and Fatty Xu.

Although the upper cabin has its own independent room.But their shoes are on a shelf.It can also be regarded as a back-shoe brother.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Baihu and Ma Youlu were about to say goodbye.

Chang Feng said: "Go to work if you have something to do. The two of us have finished our errands and have nothing to do. Stay on the flower boat for a few more days."

"West Lake Boat Girl is really a wonderful thing in the world. Let's enjoy it for a few more days."

When Chang Feng said this, his face was pale.

Liu Baihu and Ma Youlu had expressions of "everyone is a man, I understand".

Ma Youlu said: "Even if you stay on the flower boat for half a year, I will pay all the expenses."

Fatty Xu was tired last night.I slept until noon and didn't get up.

After getting up, he found Chang Feng.

Fatty Xu said: "I'm talking about Lord Chang. In Yongning City, Zhao Sanhu confessed that Ma Youlu was also one of the traitors."

"You took his money, aren't you afraid that something will happen to you in the future? Don't tell me you're going to be on the pirate ship that leads to Japan?"

Chang Feng said: "Fatty, follow me."

The two came to the deck of the flower boat.

Chang Feng said: "When we first boarded the boat last night, there were at least six people on the shore staring at us."

Fatty Xu's complexion changed: "Who is so bold that he dares to stare at Jin Yiwei? This mother is really playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong!"

Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter who is watching. The important thing is that we took Ma Youlu's money last night and became brother-in-law with him. All the people watching on the bank will withdraw this morning!"

Fatty Xu slapped his head: "Ah! Got it! Master Chang, your trick is called 'false and falsehood'."

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes! Let me tell you. There must be a lot of people in Hangzhou staring at us. I have to make them let go of their guard first, and then implement the plan to punish the traitor!"

Fatty Xu was a little anxious: "What is the plan, tell me quickly."

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "The mountain man has his own tricks. Don't ask the benefactor."

Let's say that Ma Youlu got out of the flower boat and returned to the chamber of commerce.

Dozens of gentry and rich merchants were already waiting there.

Ma Youlu sat at the top and took a sip of tea.

A gentry asked, "What's the matter, leader?"

Ma Youlu said with a smile: "I thought he was Bao Qingtian at first. Unexpectedly, he is no different from an ordinary official."

"Having said that, Hangzhou is the hometown of gentleness and the tomb of heroes. Even if a man of steel and iron comes, our spring water from the West Lake will soften him!"

"Heh, what about the celebrity around the emperor? The celebrity is also a human being. If you are a human being, you can't escape the words greedy for money and lustful."

"He took my 2000 taels of silver and didn't say anything. He also agreed that I would give him 300 taels of profit every year."

"We will have another backer in Beijing in the future!"
