Chapter 684 Sony's Buying Treetops

PS: Here comes the unscrupulous plot.

Since the matter is so important, Huang Taiji will not rashly explain it to Sony, his confidant.

After dismissing Sony, Huang Taiji was still in a heavy heart. This night, Huang Taiji tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.Just when the sky was bright and Huang Taiji was about to fall asleep, suddenly the concubine Zhuang who was waiting by her side woke him up tremblingly, and told someone to ask to see her.It doesn't matter what you see, from early morning to noon, the bad news never stops.First, the envoys sent to Beijing to negotiate peace were robbed and killed, but relying on the bravery of the guards, they managed to break out of the encirclement.As a result, he went through all kinds of hardships and went to Shanhaiguan. Wu Sangui refused to meet him at first, but later changed his attitude and agreed to meet him.

The members of the mission had just entered the Wengcheng, and there were ambushes on the top of the city.Under the dense shooting of hundreds of firecrackers condescending, the entire army of the mission was wiped out, and they all became heads and were used by Wu Sangui to repay their meritorious service.Wu Sangui even triumphantly said in the title book of Baojie: "I found out that I established slaves to defraud the city by negotiating peace, so I lured them into the city and wiped them all out in one fell swoop. Although this achievement is small, my heart is very fast."

Before Huang Taiji's tears of grief over the disappearance of the mission were blown dry by the wind on his much thinner black face, his pig-like son Hauge came to add to the trouble again.Hauge came to complain to Huang Taiji, training soldiers according to the method of the model brigade has achieved certain results, Zhenglanqi's strength has increased, but his sister seems to have more soldiers trained by Dorgon!Therefore, military training can only be regarded as barely a tie.I can't go on training by myself, so I also practice firecrackers. The two white flags use real guys, and I use wooden sticks.Moreover, the population of the two white flags is large, and the resources of soldiers are abundant. If I have one person on one side, I will arrange three people on the other side. Trying to keep myself from stepping down.

So Hauge, a simple-minded guy, when he learned that his father was annoyed by the current prices and panic buying in Shengjing, he immediately thought of his servants and cried to him.A group of scalpers sent by two white flags and two red flags calmly swallowed the little property that they had obtained in the bloody battle between Destiny Khan and the emperor for decades!Immediately, Hauge suggested to Huang Taiji to do it immediately and kill the Dorgon brothers directly!

At this time, Huang Taiji was having an evil fire that had nowhere to go, so he heard Hauge's unreliable adventure suggestion.Immediately, a few good Karbush soldiers came in unceremoniously, and ordered them to beat Hauge firmly. Hauge was beaten with his head covered, and he had to rub his swollen buttocks. Thank you Father for your teaching.Resigned and returned to his palace to contemplate behind closed doors.

When Hauge left, Huang Taiji ordered the palace gate to be closed tightly, regardless of the fire outside.But as if God insisted on slapping his face, not long after the palace gate was closed, the urgent military situation from eight hundred miles arrived, this Huang Taiji had to watch it, but after watching it, he had another nosebleed.

It turned out that Wu Sangui was not willing to give up when he got the advantage. He killed hundreds of members of the mission, and then sent people to drive a seaboat to land near Shizikou and sneak attack all over the Liaodong Peninsula.More than two or three thousand people were plundered and taken away, and several farms for reclamation were burned.

What's even more exasperating is that in the face of Wu Sangui's wanton looting and burning, the nearby two white flag garrisons turned a blind eye and remained as still as a mountain, allowing this small Ming army of more than a thousand people to act recklessly under his nose .Huang Taiji immediately summoned Dorgon to meet him. Dorgon seemed to have been prepared for this, and took a large number of servants under the two white flags to report the riots and rebellion of the Han slaves and Ming army prisoners in the vicinity, saying that his two white flags were exhausted. , so less than rescue.

Looking at Dorgon kneeling below.Huang Taiji couldn't help secretly wondering if this guy was a statuette winner, his expression and demeanor were just like the real thing, you fucking fool!

Finally, he suppressed the fire and sent Dorgon away with a smile.Huang Taiji immediately summoned Sony to have an audience.When Sony saw Huang Taiji, the scene in front of him stunned this Sony who also scolded Tushetuhan Ouba and rescued Hauge under the rain of arrows in the Ming army.

I saw a red lacquered wooden tray on the Huang Taiji Kang table in front of me. There was a hand gun on it. When the tap of the hand gun was turned up, it was obvious that the medicine had been loaded.A sharp dagger and a rope.Then smiled and looked at him.

Sonny was frightened out of his wits, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed like garlic, but he didn't dare to ask Huang Taiji what he did wrong. "Your majesty gave me this body, and death is not a pity, but I hope your majesty will tell me, I must know where my slave's crimes lie." After a while, seeing that Huang Taiji had never opened his mouth, Soni dared to ask Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "You did nothing wrong. These things are for me. There are only you and me here. I might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. Today's situation in my Qing Dynasty is nine out of ten. It is related to Dorgon. If you surrender to Dorgon, pick up any thing now, kill me, and then go outside to shout that the emperor is dead, and pass the imperial edict to Dorgon, Prince Rui. Even if you are killed by my guards Killed, but your Hesheli family will still have a bright future."

This made Sony almost sweat and dehydrate!Hastily kowtowed violently, saying that the slave would die even if he dared not have such an idea!Huang Taiji helped him up with a smile, and then said solemnly: "It's not that I can't trust you, but now my life is hanging by a thread, and only you can save me. If you don't want to, then you might as well use these three things to save yourself." It's over."

Seeing Huang Taiji like this, Sony immediately burst into tears, kowtowed and grabbed the ground and said: "I have received the emperor's great favor, even if I am smashed to pieces, I can't repay it in case. The emperor has an order, and the slave will definitely do it even if he dies." Huang Taiji nodded and said: "I won't let you die, but I have an errand for you to handle. I have something here, even if you die, I must deliver it."

Huang Taiji paused for a moment: "I heard that you have a very good relationship with Huang Yunfa, the shopkeeper of Huang Yunfa in Shanxi. If you are really loyal to me, give these two letters to Mr. Huang. And tell him, give him one, The other person who gave it to him is in the letter to him. This matter must be kept confidential! As for how to hand it over to the recipient, let him figure out a way for himself. Whether my life is still alive or not depends on you."

Sony took the letters and felt that these two letters were heavier than the city gate.He didn't dare to delay. Immediately after returning home, he asked his eldest son Hesheli Gabula to bring someone to make up and go to the shop of the Eight Great Masters in Shanxi to find shopkeeper Huang's confidant in Shengjing, and asked him to take him to Huang Yunfa.

At the same time, in order to cover up this matter, Sony ordered the Hesheli family to participate in hoarding and buying and selling with great fanfare, so that even if someone found out about this, they would think that Sony was looking for Shanxi merchants to make a fortune.

After Sony arranged everything, he secretly said in his heart.Your majesty, that's all a slave can do. I hope I can live up to my majesty's entrustment.

As for the confidential matter mentioned in Huang Taiji's letter, if Sony didn't take any means to open it secretly.That's so naive and kind!Sony was able to protect his family during several power struggles in the Qing Dynasty, and later the Hesheli family became a towering tree. Is there any tricks and tricks?

I learned from the letter that it turned out that Huang Taiji made a dangerous move, but it was also a wonderful move.He asked Huang Yun to make a match.Ask for surrender to Li Shouhan, who has an ambiguous relationship with Shanxi merchants like brother-in-law Weng and son-in-law, and at the same time, is engaged in silver dollar business with Shanxi merchants!

And the second letter was simply written to Li Huayu, the eldest son of Li, who was in charge of the military, horse money and food affairs in Shandong and Denglai on behalf of Li Shouhan!

Seeing that the addressee on the letter was Mr. Li's name and official title, Sonny couldn't help but slapped his knees excitedly, admiring his master's clever trick!

"The young master of Nanzhong, who is in charge of Denglai, Shandong, Taiwan and other military, horse, money, and food affairs, Li Gong taboo Hua Yu's subordinates:

I look at you across the sea, and we have never met, but your reputation is heard far and near.It is said in Liaodong that the Dongfan soldiers are brave and fearless, and the dragon and tiger camps are as agile as snakes, so my partial teachers are all in Shandong.Only the number of cavalry fled back.It is also heard that the five grains in Shandong are abundant, and both cotton and wheat are harvested. This is a rare rule under the Three Emperors.

I also heard that there are many heroes in the Jun's family, Huamei, the owner of Zhaoyang County, has rarely met opponents across the land and sea. Although she is a woman, all the men with eyebrows and eyebrows under my command all push their hands and raise their eyebrows.Jundi Huabao and Huaxuan are powerful in the southern desert, opening up the frontier and expanding the land.I take it personally, the father of a king should be full of pride, as if he has children.Why worry about not becoming a hegemony.

However, I am suffering, and the people are suffering.Under the rule, prices soared.People live on wild vegetables.Their complexions are all green.Although I don't dare to be called Mingjun, since Songshan, I dare not add meat to food, and dare not wear furs in clothes.

I dare not compare myself to a saint.However, if you want to benefit yourself and benefit the world, you will not hesitate.Therefore, after thinking about it before and after, I decided that the sky should belong to the king.The king's Wenzhi can stabilize Shandong, his martial arts can comfort the barbarians, and he is open-minded, kind to the descendants, and a trustworthy person.Therefore, I am not afraid of the opposition of the people, and I am not afraid of gossip, and I am willing to entrust the Eight Banners of Liaodong to the king.I know that you will show your sincerity by defrauding me. I will disband the Eight Banners in stages, and send all the weapons to Shandong for your disposal.Although I have not seen you, I believe that you will not treat my subordinates badly.A few years later, when our soldiers are exhausted and your strength is sufficient, then you can send officials to take over Liao and Shen. Once the decades of war and chaos are settled, there will be no swords, no fighting, why not do it?However, I also have something to ask for, I don't ask for life, but my son Haoge is a straightforward person, and I ask for protection under the banner of the king.The people of Liao and Shen had no food, and they hoped that the king would help them.If this happens, even if we are separated from the country, there will be no regrets. "

At the end of the letter, in order to express his sincerity of submission, Huang Taiji offered to donate [-] good horses, accompanied by [-] Mongolian herders.In addition to good horse herders, there are also [-] bullocks to help Li Huayu in reclamation in Shandong. "I heard that there is a lack of good horses for the expansion of the Dragon and Tiger Camp recently, and the shortage of farms, mulberry and cattle in Shandong. I will do my best to repay it!"

After reading this letter of peace appeal written by Huang Taiji to Li Huayu, Sony couldn't help but sweep away the haze in his chest.

Huang Taiji's letter seems to be completely groveling and asking for a compromise. He wants to surrender to the Southern Guangdong Army headed by Li Shouhan and dedicate the land of Liaodong. , every sentence in it is a hidden edge!

From the very beginning, he boasted that the Li family was full of talents and their children were heroes of the moment. He just reminded Li Huayu in subtext that you are your father's eldest son, but you are not a great heir.Moreover, in terms of etiquette, you are not a legitimate son.

Now your grown-up brothers are working hard, why?Don't tell me they have no idea about this huge family business left by your father a hundred years later!Of course, you have an absolute advantage now, and the other younger brothers don't dare to have any wrong thoughts at all, but what if they also made great achievements in battle?So, I'm here to send you a great contribution!

If it's okay to talk about a general level of peace, this is a near-surrender peace, which is a great credit!

Sony is also an educated person in the Liao bandit group, proficient in Manchu script, and has been sent to Mongolia many times.I have seen a lot of things about the Central Plains, the various tribes of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria.Weighing Huang Taiji's peace letter in his hand, no matter what, he couldn't find any reason for Li Huayu's objection.

I am rejoicing.A guard from the palace came, claiming that he obeyed the emperor's will, and asked Lord Suoni to go to the Sauron Eight Banners camp outside the city to find out if there is any relatives among the Daur people who are related to Grandpa Li's seventh concubine, Aolei Yilan.Even a member of the clan must be selected together and handed over to Huang Yunfa, Huang's shopkeeper, asking him to take him to the pass and transfer to Mrs. Seven.

Huang Taiji has done enough work!For this matter of peace negotiation, even the madam's line, the pillow wind is ready to start blowing!

Sony naturally dare not neglect.Dang even ordered his men to go to the Sauron Eight Banners camp outside the city to look for it.However, suddenly a thought popped into his mind, and he immediately ordered people to prepare horses and go to Huang Yunfa's shop in Shengjing.

"Shopkeeper Huang, I remember that when you and I were chatting, you once told me that there is such a thing as buying treetops in Guibao Land?"

The shopkeeper of the Shengjing firm under Huang Yunfa's banner is also a member of his clan, but a nephew of his who has never produced five clothes.The Huang family is also well aware of the current communication channel between the Liaodong anti-thief group and the Southern Guangdong Army.I am searching in my account room how to take advantage of the soaring prices and panic buying in Shengjing to make a big profit.Otherwise, wouldn't he be sorry for the favor Huang Taiji owed to the Huang family, as well as his distant cousin and her mother?

At this time.Sony came to visit in a hurry, and asked such a question right from the start!

When buying treetops became popular among merchants in Shanxi, it is impossible to verify.However, it can basically be determined as a futures trading behavior of buying short and selling short in the market.According to Qi Junzao, a Daoguang scholar from Shouyang, Shanxi, in "Mashou Nongyan": In the 14th year of Daoguang (1834), Shouyang's autumn harvest was divided into four or five, and there were two or three.In the first ten days of August, the millet has not yet appeared, and the price of grain is very high.The profit seekers are sitting on a lot of money.Monopolizing the left and right, seeing that the rice is empty, and the harvest after living the day is empty, so I hoard it.It caused the market price to jump for a while.What's more, those who buy grain don't need to pay money, and those who sell rice don't need to have rice, which is called empty money.According to the current price of rice, no matter how high or low it will be in the future, we will make an agreement to trade.Delivery at maturity, arbitrary growth.Falsely raising the price, so that the price can not be stable.The ancients thought that this was buying short and selling short, but it was actually a typical agricultural product futures transaction.

At the beginning of the TV series Qiao's Courtyard, Qiao Zhiyong's brother almost bankrupted Qiao's family because he competed with others for dominance in the sorghum futures market.

Shopkeeper Huang is naturally an expert and expert here, and is familiar with all kinds of methods in the middle, but he never thought that Sony would be able to raise such a question today.

"Master Sony, what do you mean?"

"I don't need to say the reason for the panic buying in Shengjing and the skyrocketing prices at the moment. Shopkeeper Huang knows the reason. Quanzi must have gone to Shandong by sea to meet Huang Dadong's at this moment. If under the mediation of Huang Dadong's, Mr. Li is willing What will happen if we start negotiations with the Qing Dynasty on peace negotiations?"

"Prices in Liaodong are bound to plummet! The original withdrawal of Nanzhong merchants is also self-defeating! How can there be a reason in the world that the boss is talking about the west, but the guy is going east? Unless the guy doesn't want to do it anymore!" Shopkeeper Huang blurted out without hesitation! "Wait! Sir Sony means..."

The two cunning and cunning guys looked at each other and smiled, laughing triumphantly.

However, Sony himself was not so courageous. That night, he still quietly entered the palace, and after reporting the progress to Huang Taiji, he gave Huang Taiji a detailed explanation of the purchase of treetops that he had discussed with shopkeeper Huang.

For this kind of thing that can accomplish multiple things in one fell swoop without having to pay a penny, Huang Taiji is naturally happy to make a decision! (What, you asked me how much I got? Well! The profits I got were snatched from Liangbaiqi and other main speculators, which can be regarded as weakening the economic strength of Liangbaiqi. Those who hesitated discovered that the two white flags were not as powerful as they had imagined. At the same time, the Huang family had gained huge profits, which was considered a repayment of their favor!)

Soon, Sony, which was originally engaged in hoarding, buying and reselling activities, joined the trend with great fanfare, adding fuel to the growing wave of panic buying.

"Everyone, now a bucket of round-grained rice has cost ten silver dollars. Brown rice mixed with gravel and bird droppings costs at least six and a half yuan. A bucket of dyed cotton locally produced is also 20 silver dollars a piece. Come from Nanzhong The ones are even more expensive, at least 25 yuan a piece, and the floral cloth is even more expensive."

In the Huang family's shop, Suoni and shopkeeper Huang drank tea and chatted with more than a dozen big speculators who are currently hot in Shengjing City, and the chat was about future business.

"That's right! The price of salt, sugar and silk is going up all over the place! Everyone has the goods and dare not put them outside!"

"Put it outside?" A scalper scoffed at his accomplice's behavior. "Didn't you see that this price increase has alarmed the emperor who was recuperating in the palace? The Karbush soldiers have come out to catch them everywhere! As long as they are caught trading in the black market, they will be sent to Liaoyang immediately and handed over to Chen Banda. That guy is going to do hard labor!"

"You're afraid of a hammer! Didn't the Han people have a saying that the more banned private salt is, the easier it is to sell?! Besides, all the people caught were Yu Ding from various Jialali, and some were simply coated slaves from various families! If you catch it, you will catch it! If the emperor catches a batch, we will have an excuse to raise the price, and the more the emperor catches it, the higher our price will rise!"

"That's what it means!" Another scalper greatly appreciated the words of his accomplice, "I'm afraid that the emperor will not arrest! The more the emperor arrests, the more panic will be in the market. The more rumors spread, the easier it is for the price to go up gone."

"That's right! Some of my little servants were blocked in a dead end yesterday by some of Prince Su's subordinates. At that time, they were so frightened that their claws went numb, thinking that they were going to be sent to Liaoyang to make iron. But those few But Haosheng smiled apologetically and asked them what goods they had. In the end, they took the goods away and left the silver dollars at the price of the previous few days."

"Everyone." Sonny and Shopkeeper Huang glanced at each other, and felt that the heat was almost ready.

"If the price was ten days ago, the two of us have a large amount of goods to sell. I don't know if you can eat it or not?"

Sony throws out a huge sweet and savory pie. (~^~)
