Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 97 Jiaofang Secretary redeems people

Li Yu spread the word,
The revenue of Xishan Coal Mine this year is very good, making a lot of money.

I did some calculations again and found that the shareholder dividends at the end of the year were amazing.

It was so stunning that even the most optimistic people were taken aback.

Pan Mansion,

Mr. Pan frowned and said:
"The quality of Xishan coal mines is low and coal cakes are sold at low prices. Such high profits are absolutely impossible."

"Father, I don't understand either."

At the beginning,

The Pan family invested 2000 taels and will pay him a dividend of 3000 taels at the end of the year.

People who don’t know it think they are digging for gold.

but,

Mr. Pan, who has been running in shopping malls for decades, can't figure out what kind of trick this is.
Are there any businessmen in the world who are cheating?

Some people do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money.

He shook his head, forget it.

He is nothing more than a young man with some wisdom and a fondness for swordsmanship.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were not many such people buried on the roadside.

……

Lijiapu internal meeting,
Everyone was also confused because they could obviously earn more.

Before the end of the year, we actually told shareholders that this year’s dividend would be one and a half times the share capital.

Not only that, but [-]% of the dividends were paid in advance.

I said I’m afraid that everyone is short of money and won’t be able to eat and drink well.

To be so generous is like a fool.

However, Li Yu convinced everyone.

By now, everyone in the Lijiapu backbone knew that they were engaged in rebellion.

Even the people below had already guessed it.

"Our stall is getting bigger and bigger, and it's impossible not to let the news leak out at all."

"However, in order to get money every year, these people will help us hide it as long as they are not openly rebelling."

"What we lack is time."

"If money can buy time, then we have made money."

"Fan Jing, don't feel bad. When we take Jiangnan, you and others will move the silver winter melons in the cellar slowly."

Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter.

Du Ren also joked:

"Are you still worried that you have no money to spend? Go home and ask your wife for some."

Fan Jing was embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly to let him go.

Recently, he has become famous.

Many people who cannot be beaten with eight poles come to beat the autumn wind.

Fan Jing, a poor scholar, remarried a beautiful girl from the Fan family.

This made many scholars so angry that they could neither eat nor sleep.

……

Not many people know that the Fan family is in dire straits.

Li Yu is the only one who has a God's perspective.

Even Wang Shenxian didn't expect to be used as a weapon.

I handed in a stack of house deeds and received praise from my master.

Heshen's rocket speed has increased recently, but the eunuch is also very nervous.

Characteristics of the Qing Dynasty,
Before taking up a new job, you need to bleed.

Shangguan, colleagues, officials, fellow villagers, and people of the same year should all send their thoughts.

If you don't send it, I'm sorry, but you won't be able to take office.

Everyone consciously upholds bad rules,
I will spray you until you can no longer control your life and return home in despair.

Mr. He has been very lucky recently, and every official position is raining down on his face.

There was a pile of black gauze hats.

However, the money flowed out like water.

Moreover, others are not satisfied and feel that he has not given enough.

But he didn't know that he was suffering in his heart.

He used all the filial piety from his subordinates to serve the emperor.

Use your own money to do things for the royal family.

He was also the first to create the world in the Qing Dynasty.

Even Qianlong heard about it,
I am also half convinced, do we have such loyal ministers in the Qing Dynasty?
After sending eunuchs to inquire,
Only then did I believe it, it turned out that this was really the case.

Qianlong sighed in the Yangxin Hall:

"Niu Hulu and He Shen, he really loves me."

"Unlike other ministers who profess loyalty on the surface, in fact they don't care about my expenses at all."

These are ministers who only care about themselves and have no sympathy for the Sacred Heart.

It is not appropriate to convict them casually. After all, they are all from a family of meritorious officials, and they come from the Eight Banners.

It is easy to chill the hearts of people all over the world.

But that's okay,
Everyone makes mistakes, let alone a local governor.

When I find a reason, I can punish his whole family.

Silver can also be funneled into the Forbidden City.

……

Wang Shenxian made money for He Shen, and of course he would not forget about himself.

A four-bedroom house was his reward for himself.

The rest were all sold and exchanged for cash to be transported to the capital and the government.

The Fan family is all watching.

I am even more certain that it was He Shen who attacked my family.

Forbearance, wait until this guy's holy family becomes weak.

Then he impeached him by contacting the opposition literati and the elite in the capital.

Patriarch Fan can see clearly,

Ups and downs, ups and downs, it’s so normal.

Money is something external to oneself.

Who let the ancestor be Fan Wenzheng and not Kong Sheng?

The royal family did not dare to actually touch the Kong family. The most they could do was reprimand and replace the clan leader.

The world of Aixinjueluo is the party of the Kong family.

Who among the Gonggun lords dares to say that he is not a disciple of Confucianism?

……

Li Yu,

During this time, I also did something important.

The officials in Suzhou Prefecture were shocked.

He actually sent someone to Yangzhou Mansion Station and found Ma Zhongyi who was bedridden.

He gave him 500 taels of silver.

Ma Zhongyi's domestic slave, Liu Lu, was squatting beside the small stove making medicine.

After listening to the visitor's intentions, I got the banknote.

He almost sobbed, and was moved to tears.

Because there are only people in this world who are the icing on the cake, and there is no one who can provide help in times of need.

When I heard that this was the year-end dividend of Xishan Coal Mine, I paid part of it in advance.

However, a receipt is required.

Liu Lu immediately took the visitor and went to find Ma Zhongyi.

Ma Zhongyi leaned on the couch and listened in shock to his purpose.

He nodded with his eyes closed.

Sign and stamp the receipt.

Oddly enough, after receiving the money, he hired several more doctors.

It got better miraculously.

Liu Lu exclaimed that this was the credit of God and Li Yu.

After all, you can't cure a disease without money.

In short, this incident later spread widely.

Li Yu instructed some subordinate officials to spread the news widely.

He also circulated Ma Zhongyi's receipt of payment to the people in the government office.

Everyone lamented that in terms of loyalty, the officialdom was really not as good as the Jianghu.

……

Lijiapu,
Du Ren rushed back to talk about the coal cake business.

"Ayu, I have some doubts."

"please say."

"You sent someone to Yangzhou Mansion to deliver money to Ma Zhongyi. Are you buying horse bones for a thousand gold coins?"

"Yes, but not all."

"Could it be said that Ma Zhongyi will one day make a comeback?"

"It doesn't matter, but as long as we start trouble, this receipt will be his lifeline."

Du Ren couldn't help but laugh. According to Qianlong's temper, this was really the case.

"500 taels of silver, I'll lay a warning for my old rival. I'll also give the officials in Suzhou Prefecture some reassurance. If you follow me, Li Yu, you won't lose anything."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Du Ren also proposed an idea:

"Ayu, do you still remember the White Lotus Religion case? The imperial court exiled more than a thousand of the Suzhou City garrison commanders and made their families slaves?"

"remember."

"The family members of some of them are now running the business of teaching workshops."

"I remember, didn't this dynasty cancel the female music training workshop?"

"In other words, it's called West Market now. It's not under the government's control, it's been handed over to private businessmen."

It is not new for officials to supervise business operations.

"If these people are redeemed, what do you think the other generals in the city guarding camp will think? What will the people in Jiangnan Green Camp think?"

"They'll warm to me."

"Yes, if you deploy the green camp in the future, it will reduce a lot of resistance."

Li Yu nodded, agreeing with this statement.

In the same way, Li Jiabao's actions are now unimpeded by the government.

Many officials had never interacted with them before, but they quickly got things done once they were introduced.

This is not all for the sake of money,
But leave yourself a good destiny.

If he is dismissed one day, Ma Zhongyi is an example.

If Li Yu can give dividends to an exiled Ma Zhongyi, he can give them to others.

This logic is very secretive and everyone understands it but doesn’t say it.

……

Li Yu took a few followers and strolled to the Western Market.

This is his first time here.

The name is nondescript, it is a street, close to the pier.

Hanging red lanterns and tall walls are all.

It is different from other brothels in Fucheng.

It was probably run by an official overseeing the business, with a hint of yamen style attached to it.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit official.

This is also the first time for Li Yu to come here.
So accompanied by Mr. Turtle, I asked him to help introduce him.

Mr. Turtle, who took the broken silver as a reward, was very enthusiastic.

From the origin of West City, to the personnel composition here, and the special projects, we will introduce them one by one.

The biggest difference,

Most of the women here are the family members of criminal officials. "Sir, the guests who come to our place mainly come for the same status. They are all Daotai daughters, Futai concubines, and guerrilla wives."

"I want something rich in martial arts."

"It's easy to say, we have plenty of people from military attache families."

After a while, Mr. Turtle brought a row of people.

Let’s start introducing one by one:
"This is the daughter of the original city garrison general. She has only been here for a month. The disadvantage is that she is relatively unfamiliar."

"This is the wife of a former guerrilla. She is a bit older. The advantage is that she is obedient."

"~"

Some of these women were numb, some were angry, and some seemed to be mentally disturbed.

This is the Demon Cave.

If they disobey discipline, there are countless punishments waiting for them.

Unless he takes advantage of the situation and is killed or hanged, he can only accept his fate.

Li Yu thought for a while and took out a stack of banknotes.

Put it on the table and spread it out.

Mr. Turtle was frightened and didn't know what to say.

"Come to your manager and discuss a big deal."

A short, fat businessman carefully accompanied his smiling face.

After collecting the cash check, he agreed to Li Yu's request.

In one breath, he redeemed 8 alive ones.

According to them, four other fierce sisters are dead.

They were all the victims of the imperial court's anger during the last White Lotus Religion Incident.

Li Yu spent a lot of money to invite the most famous doctor in the city and the doctor with the loudest mouth.

Heal their injuries and prescribe medicine.

Then arrange these people to a remote place on Xishan Island.

Take good care of it first, and it will have its own use later.

Returning the property to its original owner is impossible and unrealistic in every aspect.

However, it is still okay to keep it for future rewards.

Some people want it and ignore the so-called concept.

Next door is Lan Yingying's master and servant.

Du Ren sent people to build a wall nearby.

Two dogs were also brought in to prevent anyone from escaping.

As for the guards,

They could only select a few stout women from the coal mine families, and it was enough to equip them with swords.

……

The news spread quickly.

Li Yu didn't do anything.
The big-mouthed doctor and the group of customers from the Jiaofang Division spread the word voluntarily.

This kind of thing often spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Human nature is curious!
Everyone in Jiangnan Green Camp was in mourning. Although they did not dare to say anything, they felt sad in their hearts.

Probably, it's a kind of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

I still silently support the family members of my former colleagues in escaping suffering.

at least,

From now on, there will no longer be unscrupulous people talking in teahouses about the merits and demerits of the families of Green Camp prison officials and the families of subordinate officials.

Every time there is a new attack on the official family, the West Market will be lively for a while.

These people specially join in the fun and use it as conversation material after returning home.

After hearing this, the soldiers in the green camp were filled with shame and wanted to draw their swords and kill people.

But he could only avoid it in despair.

Lao Hu, enjoyed the first wave of dividends.

As Mr. Qian, he was very prosperous in the city guard camp.

Everyone said that he was lucky to have met such a sworn brother.

Then this shareholder style,

Li Yu arranged for 10 trusted subordinates to work as errands in the Green Camp.

They will be promoted as quickly as possible.

Behind the scenes are Li Jiabao’s connections and financial resources.

Also, the first-level military honors were deliberately prepared.

At the farewell banquet, Li Yu raised his glass and said loudly:
"Brothers, I wish you a bright future in Green Camp."

"Death for Master Li."

Ten people knelt on one knee and spoke in unison.

These people are not lone wolves.

Otherwise, once it skyrockets, you may not have second thoughts.

Li Yu had seen Infernal Affairs and knew what to do.

Either support their families or marry them.

One end of the kite is held in his hand.

No matter how far it flies, it can be recovered.

After all, there are very few ruthless people like Liu Bang.

……

Soon, Li Yu received the second wave of dividends.

The Xukou Inspection Department of Wu County escorted a prisoner.

This person turned out to be a miner from Xishan Island.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he swam and escaped ashore.

After landing, they found the Xukou Inspection Department and reported that Xishan Coal Mine had private soldiers and hid a large number of firearms and swords.

The opposite is obvious.

However, the Xukou inspection team tied up the person directly.
Lijiabao was sent.

Li Yu was shocked and realized that there were too many loopholes.

The huge Xishan Island is hard to guard against.

"Inspector Li, please."

"Master Li, please."

The two of them were laughing and drinking tea and chatting in the castle.

This was the first time we met, we didn't know each other before.

Inspector Li took the initiative to introduce:
"Xiaguan's clan uncle is Li Yuanwu from Wu County. He often praises Mr. Li for his righteousness."

"Thank you. It turns out we still have this relationship. We should get closer and closer in the future."

"I can't ask for it."

Inspector Li is very young, and it is said that he took office not long ago.

"I wonder where Brother Li worked as an errand before?"

"I have been working as the Foreign Affairs Committee General Manager Qian in Pingwang Camp for three years. My uncle has just transferred me to a civilian position for my activities."

"Then I wish Brother Li a bright future."

……

"Mr. Li runs the business well, but you have to be more careful with people like this who eat in and out."

"What is this person accusing me of?"

"Having private soldiers and hiding firearms are all crimes that could kill you."

Li Yu couldn't help laughing and asked:

"Brother Li, please hurry up. This is a good opportunity to make a contribution."

"Mr. Li is joking, what is your status? Who in Suzhou would not respect you as a high official? Thousands of dollars are spent in your hands, and the most beautiful girl in the city is waiting on you. What kind of rebel are you? Tell me, who? letter?"

Inspector Li couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

Anyone who runs a black mine doesn't have thugs.

Can a guy who doesn't take advantage of him be able to control the miners?

Not surprising at all.

Just do it in a hidden way and not under the eyes of the government.

This man must have been punished in the black mines and harbored a grudge.

"False accusation! This is slander."

"Of course, so I've handed the prisoner over to you. It's up to you whether to beat or to kill him."

Two patrol archers dragged in the prisoner who looked like a dead dog.

Li Yu just waved his hand:

"Come on."

"Take this rip-off guy to the Xishan Coal Mine and execute him in public."

This is just an insignificant role.

He will show off to the public in the coal mine.

The number of miners today is close to the 1000 mark.

This does not include the hundreds of people who were previously promoted to the Guards.

Most of Lijiabao's escort team was also mobilized.

Stationed on Xishan Island to facilitate musket shooting training.

……

There are two more groups of people on Xishan Island.

One group was a sailor from another province and agreed to stay.

Get twice the original salary to work for Lijiabao.

They all have sailing experience,
Now, prepare to open up a route to Taihu Lake.

There is another group who are employees of the iron factory in Chaozhou Prefecture.

There were men, women, old and young, dozens of people in total.

After trekking all the way, we passed by Taihu Lake.

The officials asked for money:
"I'm exhausted from escorting you exiled troops."

"If you can't get any money today, just pick a few people and sink them into the lake."

These people were falsely accused of smuggling and their property was confiscated.

After walking all the way here, there is no extra money.

The officers drew their swords and threatened to cut off a stove head and throw it into the lake.

"stop."

Several horses galloped over, all wearing bright clothes and angry horses. They were obviously hunting.

"Which yamen are you from?"

"We are Chaozhou Prefecture officials, escorting the exiled prisoners here."

The leader is Li Yu:
"I think these people are honest and honest, they don't look like vicious people."

"What the officials don't know is that these people are guilty of smuggling foreigners."

"It's wrong." Everyone quickly knelt down and begged.

They saw that Li Yu had an extraordinary status.

Perhaps, it is the last life-saving straw.

Human nature is such that in times of crisis, we will instinctively seize any opportunity to survive.

The escorting officer immediately raised his whip.

"Wait a minute."

Li Yu threw out a piece of silver and signaled to stop.

"What do you do?"

An old man knelt down and explained:
"We are all from the Chen clan in Chaozhou Prefecture. We ran an iron factory there. We worked hard and never dared to do anything bad. The government accused us of selling steel ingots to barbarian merchants, so they arrested us and ransacked our homes."

A group of people sobbing and despairing to the extreme.

……

Li Yu was riding on the horse with a look of unbearable expression on his face:
"Let's go to my farm for a glass of wine first. I happen to be in the ironworks business and have a few technical problems to discuss."

Hesitating when seeing official officials,
The attendant immediately took out a few ingots of silver and said arrogantly:

"This is Li Daguan from my mansion. You guys, please listen to me and don't suffer any loss."
