Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() War is actually a gold swallowing beast, enough to bring down a country or group.Therefore, how to maintain the high cost of war is also a condition that most tests the vitality of a country and a group.This is also the reason why Xiao He and Li Shanchang were established as the first contributors to the founding of the country.

Therefore, Wu Shigong also understands Deng Qifan's dedication.But now that the Runing Army has so much money to spend, Wu Shigong had no choice but to harden his heart and try his best to squeeze Deng Qifan. <Since then, the Ma family’s weaving workshop has been doing well. After a while, the pressure on Mr. Deng will be much less! "

Hearing this, Xue Yongli thought of something, he asked: "Young Master, I heard that this time the head of the Ma family also came to Runing with the second son Ma, their family is a rich family in the south of the Yangtze River, is there any Maybe open some more workshops?" Wu Shigong's policy of attracting investment gradually became popular, and even Xue Yongli began to care about this issue.

But Wu Shigong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's been a month since I've been here, and I've invited you several times, but I keep saying I'm visiting friends. Seeing like this, I want to avoid seeing him."

"That's okay, we'll figure it out on our own." Xue Yongli comforted, "No, it won't be that in two days... a firm called the Stock Exchange will open. But my lord, what is it selling in that firm? Yes, I see that only old bustard Li goes there to do business, so can the business really make money?".

This time Runing Army's stock exchange was established, but only Mama Li's brothel chain store was willing to go public. Wu Shigong was going to make a big joke when he saw it, so he quickly contacted Bian's Ironware Workshop and Jimin Reclamation Firm's Ruzhou Branch The joining of these two makes it look less shabby.

Moreover, Wu Shigong also widely posted posts inviting local officials and gentry to join him, so I don't know what the final effect will be.

In fact, these three industries are not willing to enter the stock exchange.They just relied on the Runing Army to survive, so they were willing to join in the show in the end.But that's it.Li's mother and Bian's iron workshop both gave Wu Shigong some dry shares to ensure the safety of their property, fearing that the political exchange would cheat them.

Therefore, for the sake of the cause of the Runing Army and to reassure these people, Wu Shigong could only sacrifice himself and accept these bribes with dignity.But seeing Li Mama and the others seeing their happy face after receiving the gift, Wu Shigong couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart: "I don't know what kind of expression they will have on their faces after they know the true value of these shares?"

Of course, there are good things.Wu Shigong will not forget his own people, so he said with a smile: "New things, not many people understand. So our Runing Army can't make much money from this stock exchange in the short term. But Uncle Yongli just listen to me , take some money out to buy stocks, and you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

For Wu Shigong's words.Xue Yongli trusted him very much, and he immediately agreed: "The little one is also making fun of it. The little one is going to go to war tomorrow. Let the family members give 500 taels to my son-in-law. Let my son-in-law give it to my little staff officer."

"That's good! You go back earlier. I'll see you off in person tomorrow."

So Xue Yongli got up to say goodbye, but just as he stood up, he stopped moving as if he remembered something.

"What's the matter?" Wu Shigong was a little surprised, "Is there anything else you want to say?".

Xue Yongli hesitated for a while, then sat back on the chair. He looked around and found that no one was around.Then she whispered to Wu Shigong: "Young master! I have something to tell you: Aunt Li found my younger wife yesterday, and she wants to propose a marriage for the second son, and she wants to marry Zicha from the younger family."

Wu Shigong's complexion changed suddenly, and his brows were also tightly wrinkled.Zicha is Xue Yongli's granddaughter.The age is quite suitable for Wu Chengying, but why did Li Xin propose marriage in private?

Now Wu Shigong's default successor is the eldest son Xue Chenglin, so there will be very strict requirements for the marriage of other children.Like Deng Qifan, Xue Yongli and other powerful ministers, Wu Shigong's daughter can marry into their family, but their daughters cannot marry into their family.Otherwise, other sons who have won the support of the Yue family may challenge Xue Chenglin's "crown prince" position.

Li Xin was also in a daze, knowing that she couldn't agree to this matter, she dared to cut first and then play in private.You know, it is absolutely impossible for the current Wu Shigong to move Xue Chenglin's position.

There are many reasons for this, but there are two main reasons: one reason is that the core of the Runing Army is the Xue family general who was born as a guard of the Xue family.As long as Xue Chenglin succeeds smoothly, these Xue family generals, as Xue's close friends, will also become Xue Chenglin's confidantes, so they can keep the wealth of several generations.Therefore, they will definitely not change their doors to take risks.

Another reason is the eldest son system.Xue Chenglin is the eldest son who has been canonized by the orthodox court. Even Wu Shigong can't shake his status as the eldest son.And if Wu Shigong wants to change, he will immediately challenge the etiquette and law system of the Ming Dynasty.

And now one of the main reasons for maintaining the cohesion of the Runing Army is that everyone in the Runing Army believes that they are the successors and carry forward the Chinese orthodoxy. Therefore, as the leader of the Runing Army, no matter what happens in private, Wu Shigong They must show their noble morals.

This is also what the Runing Army has repeatedly instilled in the teaching textbooks of the army and schools, and it is also vigorously promoted by Fu Wenzhai's Propaganda Department.And the reason why Wu Shigong has always talked about credibility, student aid, disaster relief...even the Runing Army itself does not open such places as casinos is to show Wu Shigong's noble character.

But if the "prince prince" is changed, then Wu Shigong's image of noble morality will collapse immediately, which can be said to be fatal during the founding period of the Runing Army.Therefore, Wu Shigong absolutely does not allow this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall to happen.

But at this time, Wu Shigong still wanted to touch Xue Yongli's thoughts.So he asked, "Then what do you think?"

"The young one has already told my wife that the second son can't climb high." Xue Yongli's answer did not surprise Wu Shigong at all, but what he said next surprised Wu Shigong, "Although the young one is in a high position now , but the small family has followed Lord Hou for several generations, and never dared to forget their roots. So the small one also wants to allow Lord Hou and aunt to grant Zicha the side room of the prince."

"What?" Wu Shigong blurted out in surprise, "Isn't this wronging your purple tea?".

"I'm not wronged at all. It's Zicha's blessing to be able to serve the prince." Xue Yongli replied resolutely.Then, he kept his mouth tightly shut, staring at Wu Shigong, waiting for Wu Shigong's answer. (to be continued...)
