Chapter 151 Long Live the Princess's Dedication to the People

Chapter 151 Princess sacrifices herself! Long live the people!

Su Ye said: "Several shopkeepers, what are the conditions?"

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing bowed and said: "Lord Su Ye is favored by the emperor, so it should be no problem to strive for three years of tax exemption for Jiangxi. So we want to take over the tax burden of Jiangxi for these three years."

"From now on, the first year's taxes belong to us. After we collect them in the second year, we will only take 70% and hand over the remaining 30% to you. In the third year, we will only take 60% and hand over the remaining 40% to you."

"In addition, we want the purchasing rights of 100 official positions." The shopkeeper of Rishengchang said: "Of course, don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean that we It is not like this to interfere in your political affairs. "

"We may recommend some officials to you, but whether to accept them or not is entirely up to you."

"The purchasing power I mentioned is which officials you need to promote. You have a big face in front of the emperor. Basically, as long as you recommend them, they will be appointed. You are a decent person and are unwilling to sell official positions and titles. These recommended officials put the money for buying official positions into our bank without passing through your hands."

"Of course, in many cases, these officials have no money to buy official positions, so we will lend them money. So from beginning to end, your hands are not dirty."

Suddenly, Su Ye was amazed.

The thinking of financiers is really awesome.

Let's not talk about the taxation of a province.

There is also the business of selling official positions that can be contracted. I really want Su Ye to be Prince Qing Yixin, set up a Qingji Company, specializing in selling official positions. And abruptly divide a transaction into two times, and lend to these officials, and you can make another wave of money.

Su Ye was silent for a while.

In this world, this business is not excessive, it is normal.

But for him, it was a little unacceptable.

Especially the latter, selling official positions and titles was the source of income for the Qing court. If it was purely for social order, it was not so evil.

Although all officials in the Qing court were corrupt and sold official positions and titles openly, the economic form of the entire country was much healthier than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the treasury was much more abundant. One of the sources of income for the Hunan Army was selling official positions, and there were also special ticket companies to contract this business.

But for Su Ye, he wanted to build a base.

It might even be used as a base for rebellion in the future.

And if he sold official positions and titles, the foundation would change all of a sudden.

Su Ye said: "Several shopkeepers, why are you unwilling to use three million acres of good farmland as collateral?"

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing said: "Report to Lord Su, good farmland is important. But Jiangxi has lost too many people, and these fields can no longer be cultivated. The key is that even if we take these three million acres of farmland, the management cost is too high."

I understand. For them, these three million acres of farmland are heavy assets.

For traditional gentry, land is the lifeblood. But for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols and the Shanxi chaebols, that stage has already passed.

Su Ye said: "Then how about we cooperate in another way?"

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing said: "Please tell me."

Su Ye said: "I want to set up a factory in Jiujiang and engage in foreign affairs. You are considered an investment. The seven million taels are equivalent to a 20% share."

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing was silent for a long time and said: "Brother Su Ye is talented. He is a man who can do big things and accomplish big things. But there is no precedent in China for setting up factories on such a large scale. We can't see clearly and don't understand. We are very careful about things we don't understand."

This is a polite refusal.

Then, the shopkeeper of Rishengchang said: "But we are very eager to please Lord Su. With silver, everything will be easy for you. If you think it's too little, we can add a little more."

Su Ye bowed and said: "Several shopkeepers, how about letting me think about it for a few days?"

This is also a refusal to some extent.

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing said, "Of course, of course!"

Then, several shopkeepers came forward one by one to pay their respects and say goodbye.

After they left completely, Shen Baozhen came out from the side compartment.

"Sir, their conditions are not excessive." Shen Baozhen said, "This is done in many places. The conditions they offer you are actually higher than those of the Hunan Army."

Su Ye said, "Did the Hunan Army agree?"

Shen Baozhen said, "No, Zuo Zongtang said angrily, I will do it myself, but he did it himself and brought a steady stream of money to the Hunan Army. But this time the Hunan Army conquered Hubei Province, I don't know if they will agree to the conditions of the Shanxi merchants."

Zuo Zongtang had enough time to do it slowly, but Su Ye couldn't.

Seven million taels of silver, nine days left.

………………………………………………

Back home, Su Ye once again picked up the tablet to surf the Internet and repeated the negotiations with the Shanxi Piaohao tonight.

The small group fell into silence.

"We took it for granted that fertile land would be very valuable in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty."

Fu Ba Mei said: "The people in Shanxi Piaohao seem to be very similar to those financiers on Wall Street. They only want to make money from money and have little interest in heavy assets."

Ying Nian Zao Tu said: "The conditions proposed by those people in Shanxi Piaohao are not harsh for a Qing Dynasty official. But... they don't understand the business that the group leader is doing."

Fu Ba Mei said: "But Shanxi Piaohao is the only one in the entire capital that can come up with 7 million taels of silver."

Ying Nian Zao Tu said: "And Da Sheng Kui."

Fu Ba Mei said: "No, Da Sheng Kui can't take it out. All its assets now may only be around 10 million taels. At its peak several decades later, it will have 20 million taels of assets."

Ying Nian Zao Bal said: "It is impossible for Da Sheng Kui to take out 7 million taels for Su Ye at once, but... the Mongolian princes behind them can."

Fu Ba Mei: "..."

"Damn, I forgot about this, it really can."

Fu Ba Mei said: "These Mongolian princes, because of the Qing Dynasty's policies, are completely imprisoned in Mongolia. They have a huge amount of gold and silver, but they can't spend it at all, and they are full of desire for land. So these two or three million acres of fertile land will be very interested in these Mongolian princes."

"Although these Mongolian princes are in Mongolia, they have sent important members to the capital. Princess Shou'an is a princess who is in charge of Mongolia. , you can call them over for a meal, and sell these millions of acres of fertile land to these wealthy Mongolian princes. "

Fu Ba Mei said: "And Dashengkui is engaged in industrial trade. In the future, many products of Su Ye's factory will be handed over to them for sale. The cooperation between you can be very close."

Ying Nian Zao Bal said: "But there is one thing, Senggelinqin is the leader of these Mongolian princes, and he is Su Ye's enemy."

Fu Ba Mei said: "So at this time, it depends on Princess Shou'an's ability. Su Ba Cun, use your beauty trick to continue to feed this princess sister with a potion."

Red Flags Planted All Over the Qing Dynasty: "Su Ba Cun, I think you have overlooked the most powerful force in the capital."

Su Ye said: "What?"

Red Flags Planted All Over the Qing Dynasty said: "The people."

This statement really fits this person's ID.

Red flags are flying all over the Qing Dynasty. "Who are you, Su Ye? A star of both civil and military affairs, the youngest provincial governor, a national hero of the people of Beijing, an idol worshipped by all, a golden signboard, a superstar."

"And those people in Beijing who have a little money are most likely to become the target of scammers. In the modern world, P2P and pyramid schemes are all these people who are fooled. And how do these scammers make money? First, they push an idol platform to represent authority. Then they package a shitty thing into a golden financial product and sell it to these people."

"You, Su Ye, are a super idol. You actually have millions of acres of fertile land. You package these fertile lands into financial products. Products, sell them to the people in the capital, just tell them that you don't need to plant these fields yourself. After you buy them, I will arrange people to plant them and give you 20% dividends every year. "

"After three years, you can take the money back with interest at any time. Of course, if you want these farmlands yourself, you can go directly to Jiangxi. These farmlands belong to you and you can be landlords safely. "

"Such a good financial product, they are not in the Qing Dynasty, otherwise I would spend all my money to buy it. "

"The good farmland in Jiangxi is very expensive, basically six or seven taels of silver per mu. You sell it directly at half the price of three or four taels of silver. I don't believe that the people in the capital will not be tempted. "

After the red flag was planted all over the Qing Dynasty, everyone fell silent.

I didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Because what he said made a lot of sense and seemed very feasible.

But it felt very difficult.

It is really difficult to get money from ordinary people, because this money may be their coffin money.

The key is that the chemical reaction of hundreds of thousands or millions of people is very subtle.

A small move may lead to a completely polarized result.

Fu Ba Mei said: "Then take the Mongolian prince and Dashengkui as plan A, and take hundreds of thousands of people in the capital as plan B."

"There are still nine days left, it's too urgent."

…………………………………………………………

Then, everyone in the capital knew about it.

Su Ye wanted to set up a factory in Jiangxi and engage in Westernization.

He was raising money everywhere, and had already hit two nails.

The whole court was watching coldly.

Set up a factory and engage in Westernization.

Has anyone in the Qing Dynasty done it before? Guangdong merchants once tried it on a small scale, but it was finally rejected by Emperor Daoguang.

So far, Qing officials have never done it, it's unprecedented.

And I heard that Su Ye wanted to do it on a large scale, directly on a scale of 20 to 30 million.

If you take too big a step, you will get hurt.

The Qing Dynasty has never done this before. Who dares to invest this money? If you lose money at that time, what should you do?

You, Su Ye, have been able to succeed in everything you did before. In addition to your new army being powerful, there is another fundamental reason.

That is, the emperor always supports you.

But does the emperor support you this time?

The emperor's attitude is very negative. He just verbally asked Su Shun to allocate 700,000 taels of silver.

This has already shown the emperor's attitude, but you are a favorite minister, and the emperor is unwilling to pour cold water directly. He hopes that you can't raise money by yourself and return in the face of difficulties.

Everyone knows that the emperor is very conservative.

Even most people in the entire Qing court are very conservative. They still think that they are the Celestial Empire. Although the foreigners have strong ships and powerful guns, they are also barbaric countries. They are very satisfied with this self-sufficiency.

It was not until the Second Opium War that they were defeated miserably, the Battle of Baliqiao, and the extremely humiliating result. The foreigners broke into Beijing and the emperor began to flee. Only then did he know the shame and courage, and really proposed to start foreign affairs.

Now, he still hasn't been beaten.

So, will the Second Opium War come again?

Let me say something heartbreaking.

Most likely.

Because Bao Ling will step down soon, and Elgin will come to power soon.

The British Parliament was a staunch hawk and wanted to go to war to oppress the Qing court.

Bao Ling, Su Yi, and Basia Li are taking a secret route B.

Therefore, the most critical node will still come.

And at this critical node, Su Yi will seek the greatest benefit since he traveled through time.

So, everything is just right now.

……………………………………………………

Inside Sanxi Hall!

The emperor asked: "Su Yi, what's going on recently?"

Sushun said: "I heard that those who looked for the Shanxi bank account failed to raise the money."

The emperor said: "I understand."

Sushun said: "Your Majesty, could you find a day to summon him and give him some advice, so as to prevent the young man from going further away?"

The emperor said: "His temperament is just like this. I will talk to him again after he hits the wall a few more times."

Sushun said: "To set up a factory and engage in foreign affairs is too illusory. It requires real money and silver to be invested in it. He wants seven million taels of silver at once. Who can take it out? Who is willing to take it out? It's all in vain. Who can be responsible, so he can’t raise this amount.”

"Let him give up his thoughts early and return to the right path." Sushun said: "He should honestly go to Jiangxi to be the governor, restore people's livelihood, train troops by the way, and help the emperor quell the rebellion as soon as possible. What kind of factory, what kind of Western business? "

Sushun was indeed the tapeworm in the emperor's belly. He knew exactly what he was thinking, but he didn't think so himself.

But for Su Yi, setting up factories and engaging in Westernization was a hundred times more important than destroying Nanjing.

This is real power.

As for regaining Nanjing, Su Yi also wanted to use it to gain huge political benefits.

Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in rebellion now. How can we recover with a few thousand troops?

And even if it's recovered, what's the use of taking so much credit now?

For Su Yi, war is just a political lever.

……………………………………………………

"Lord Su Yi, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see you urgently." Night had just fallen.

The princess's confidant maid came to see Su Yi.

She was still very angry at first, but Su Yi didn't go to see her even after returning to Beijing for several days.

Humph, this bitch has defrauded me of all my money and is now ignoring me?

I have no use for it?

He hasn't even taken all of my body into his mouth yet, is he tired of it?

Men have no conscience.

From now on, everyone will return to the bridge and the road to the road.

Don’t think that I, Shouan, will talk to you again from now on. I will go back to Mongolia and won’t see you again.

When he heard that Su Yi was in trouble, he immediately became anxious again. He couldn't bear to feel angry and quickly sent someone to summon him.

………………………………

Su Yi once again entered Princess Shou'an's study.

At this time, the candle is lit.

Princess Shou'an was very colorfully dressed and very thinly dressed.

There is a faint feeling of translucence.

A red silk skirt, and it's in Tang Dynasty style.

She is mature and plump, and in this way, she is really beautiful and fragrant.

Seeing Su Yi come in, her beautiful eyes lit up first, and then she said coldly: "What are you doing here? I don't want to see you."

After saying that, he snorted and turned to leave.

So arrogant.

You're dressed like this and waiting for me, and you still have such a harsh tone?

Su Yi stepped forward and hugged her directly, with one hand upward and the other downward.

Capture the peak on the left and the moon on the right.

Princess Shou'an cried and said: "If you are annoying me, you can tell me as soon as possible. I will not be so mean and insist on fawning over you. I will just go back to Mongolia. I don't need to be bullied by you and won't see you for a few days." It made me suffer psychologically several times.”

Su Yi said softly: "Good sister, I came last night, and the Queen is here."

Princess Shou'an was suddenly startled and hissed: "Then, can't that be..."

Su Yi said: "She already knows about our adultery."

"Bah!" Princess Shou'an spat: "What kind of adultery do you and I have? Don't say it so harshly."

Su Yi picked it up with her finger, and a pool of spring water came out.

It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, and the ancients do not deceive me.

"It's been like this, but there's still no adultery?" Su Yi said softly.

In the past, Princess Shou'an finally liked to pull and struggle.

But now, he is allowed to be frivolous.

"Don't worry, the queen is very strict. We have a good relationship and she won't tell anyone." Princess Shou'an said softly.

Then, she said warily: "You, you must have bullied her."

Su Yi said: "How is it possible?"

Princess Shou'an said softly: "We don't see each other very often. Please don't torture me in the future. You didn't come to me when you led your troops to Jiangxi. You didn't come to me this time when you came back." . I waited until midnight every day, and it was very painful.”

"Xiaoyi, I'll give you whatever you want. Don't play with me or break my heart."

For a moment, Su Yi was moved and quietly held her in his arms.

Princess Shou'an just lay quietly in his arms.

"My friend, you need seven million taels of silver. You've been running into trouble everywhere lately, haven't you?" Princess Shouan said, "I went to see the emperor today and wanted to ask for money for you. The emperor was very unhappy, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue , can’t afford that much money.”

"I can sell some of my properties, jewelry and other things, and I can get 200,000 or 300,000 taels. I'll give it to you in two days, okay?"

Su Ye shook his head and said, "No, this money is your last pocket money, I can't take it. But good sister, there is something you need to help me with."

"You say it, I will give it to you even if I have to cut my heart." Princess Shou'an said in a greasy voice, "My old house is on fire, there is no hope."

Su Ye said, "The Mongolian princes are the richest, and they can't spend the money they have saved for hundreds of years. I want to sell them 2 million acres of fertile land in Jiangxi, three and a half taels of silver per acre, which is half of the normal price. Each of them can buy tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of acres, and then send people to grow grain, mulberry silk, or cotton and linen. I will buy the things grown at a high price and produce cotton cloth and silk Silk, etc., and then sell them. "

Princess Shouan said softly: "Xiao Ye, this matter should actually be done by the emperor, not by you, a minister."

Su Ye said: "The emperor doesn't do it, so I can only do it."

Princess Shouan said: "I am a woman and don't understand these things, but I think you are amazing. You are the only one who does things that others are unwilling to do."

"I will arrange for the families of those Mongolian princes in Beijing and the boss of Dashengkui to meet you tomorrow."

Su Ye said: "Okay."

Princess Shouan got up gently, opened her mouth slightly, looked at Su Ye and said softly: "My dear, do my lips look good? Are they beautiful?"

Su Ye said: "Beautiful."

Princess Shouan said: "Then I will serve you and make you happy, okay?"

Damn, good sister, have you decided to change the active style of play?

In the past, Su Ye was pushing forward and Shouan was defeated step by step.

And now, Princess Shouan has become the host.

Su Ye said softly: "Good sister, then I want to see your other mouth and want to taste it, okay?"

Princess Shouan said: "I'm going to die, what's so good about it?"

"Whatever you want, it's up to you."

"In the future, don't bully a poor woman like me, just throw her aside from time to time and ignore her."

Su Ye said softly: "Good sister, then you turn around and lie down on me."

Shouan said: "This, this is so embarrassing."

Next!

The study room becomes a water room.

The spring river tide is connected to the sea level,

The double moons on the sea are rising.

The waves are rolling for thousands of miles.

Where is the spring river that doesn't drown people!

…………………………………………………………

The next day.

Princess Shouan held a banquet to entertain the children of Mongolian princes in the capital.

And the shopkeeper of Dashengkui accompanied her.

Princess Shouan was very angry.

First of all, as a woman, as a Heshuo princess, how could she show her face in public?

But this time, she personally entertained everyone.

But... only one-third of the Mongolian princes' families in the capital came.

The remaining two-thirds did not come.

The resistance was obviously the Khorchin Prince, Senggelinqin.

He was the leader of the Mongolian kings.

This was also a battle of standing.

Princess Shouan was in the compartment, her face pale and very unhappy.

But after passing through the door curtain, she immediately put on a noble and reserved smile.

Everyone knelt down to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Princess!"

"Greetings, Princess!"

In the Qing Dynasty, the rank of Heshuo Princess was very high.

Princess Shouan said: "Today, I called everyone here because there is a good thing. We are all Mongolian relatives. The gold and silver at home are about to rot and can't be spent. I thought of a way to let everyone spend money and buy property."

Everyone immediately responded.

"Thank you, Princess!"

But everyone knew that Su Ye was short of money to open a factory, and Princess Shouan came to ask for alms from everyone.

Princess Shouan said, "Come, let's drink first!"

After three rounds of drinking, Princess Shouan said, "Su Ye, tell us how much good land you have to sell in Jiangxi?"

Su Ye said, "Two million mu."

Princess Shouan said, "Everyone knows the price of land in Jiangxi, seven taels of silver per mu, but now it's half the price, seven taels of silver for two mu."

"We Mongolians have always been free to come and go."

"How much do you each buy?"

The family members of the Mongolian princes and nobles in Beijing fell into a brief silence for a long time.

One of them broke the silence: "I will buy 20,000 mu."

"I will buy 20,000 mu too."

"I will buy 20,000 mu too."

Finally, everyone expressed their opinions.

Thirty people, all bought 20,000 mu.

That is to say, they got 2.1 million taels of silver.

Princess Shouan stood up, raised her wine glass and said, "Thank you, Taijis. I will remember this favor."

Su Ye also stood up and said, "Thank you, Anda. I will remember this favor as well."

The families of many Mongolian princes and nobles bowed and said, "You are welcome! Thank you Anda Su Ye for not forgetting us even though you have this opportunity to make a fortune."

Then, these dozens of people left politely.

From beginning to end, the banquet lasted only half an hour.

Princess Shouan's beautiful face suddenly turned cold, and soon her eyes began to turn red.

They were just perfunctory to her.

She, the Heshuo Princess, had invited them out of face, so they had to come.

Each family also symbolically bought 70,000 taels of silver.

Otherwise, 30 families, each family would be the same, only buying 20,000 acres.

One family is not more, one family is not less.

They just thought that Princess Shouan came to beg for alms.

When Princess Shou'an raised her face and looked at Su Yi, tears were already streaming down her face.

"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, it's my sister and I'm useless."

Su Yi stepped forward and gently held her in his arms, saying softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Xiaoyi, this is not just Seng Gelinqin's fault. The crux of this matter lies with the emperor, because the emperor does not support it, and everyone can see it." Princess Shou'an said: "The emperor doesn't like to set up factories, and he doesn't like to engage in Westernization. That’s why these Mongolian princes don’t spend money, they are afraid of offending the emperor.”

Of course Su Yi saw it, but at least these Mongolian princes paid out about two million taels.

There is still a shortfall of five million.

Six days left.

…………………………………………

Early the next morning!

Su Yi got up, and Qingqing was already up and playing in the yard with her baby in her arms.

The sound of the baby's babbling came.

And on the table beside the bed, there was a stack of banknotes, totaling 152,500.

This is all the savings of Chongen's family.

Qingqing was too embarrassed to give it in person, so she just left it there quietly.

Now the whole capital knew that Su Yi was short of money, so Lord Chongen also sold some precious antiques and spent almost all his savings.

At this moment, Li Qi said outside: "Master, master... go quickly, go quickly!"

Su Yi said: "What's wrong?"

Li Qi said: "Go to Qianmen Street. There are many, many people waiting for you there, thousands of them."

"During this period, Lord Lin Li, Lord Wang Tianyang, and us mobilized all our relatives and friends, pulling people together and looking for people."

"In the end, we found thousands of people."

"We all know you are looking for money for the future of this country."

"You have been taking the upper-level route. We have no ability and can only use our strength among the common people."

"Although these people don't have much money, they have strength in numbers. Master, please give the people at the bottom a chance."

Su Yi was stunned and suddenly became excited.

Then I didn't even have time to change my clothes, so I just dressed casually, wearing a talapan.

After hearing Li Qi's words, he got on his horse and ran towards the outer city.

In this breath, he ran directly out of the inner city.

We arrived outside Zhengyang Gate.

Then, he saw three hundred new troops maintaining order.

The entire Qianmen Street was densely packed with people.

Thousands of people, tens of thousands, and even counting.

In the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people were not allowed to gather on this scale.

But... Su Yi is a privileged person, and no one in Shuntian Mansion dares to trouble Su Yi.

Seeing Su Yi's arrival, the tens of thousands of people's eyes suddenly became fanatical.

Their faces were also full of admiration.

Wherever Su Yi's people arrived, that's where they looked.

"Master Su Yi is here, Master Su Yi is here."

"Master Su Yi, come and tell us!"

"I heard that there are cheap fields for sale in Jiangxi, only half price. Is this true?"

"I heard that these fields don't need to be planted or managed by ourselves. We can get 20% of the income every year, right?"

"Are these real? Can we buy them?"

Seeing this scene, Su Yi's eyes heated up and her heart surged.

Those four words could not help but emerge in his heart: Long live the people!

Note: This is the second update. I’m going to have some food. Dear benefactors, please look through your pockets. If you have monthly passes, can you give them to me?
