That night, in the large flower hall of Aiwan Tower in Tianjin, Jin Shiqi told the disciples of Longwu——

I have a dream. From now on, our money will be invested in one place, and our armies will be together. I will take you to find a stable and peaceful place, re-establish a fort, concentrate on development, and build a foundation. If you take a step back, you can live a stable and prosperous life.

With a good life, you can further serve the imperial court, make contributions, and be a wife and son!

"Are you going to be stuck under the false name of 'Tieling Guard' for the rest of your life? Are you going to eat hundreds of kilos of food every year?" Jin Shiqi jumped on the table when he was excited, "If you believe me, Jin Shiqi, stay on my ship!"

If you don't believe it, just take the money and go to Tieling."

At the critical moment, Yao Mengyang also jumped on the table: "Ah, brother, you are talking about everyone pooling their money to form a big business, and they will be inseparable from now on." He pretended to be stunned, "That's great!"

Ji Rui also climbed up on the table: "This little money in front of me is nothing. Follow Brother Jin and we will be richest in the world!"

The reason why these two boys were given the same proportion as Zha Yingcai was not only because of their family status, but also because they expected them to take the lead at this moment. The other disciples heard the sound and moved, roaring and climbing on the table one after another.

People leave Jin Shiqi's ship.

A large pear blossom table was collapsed by a dozen young men, who laughed like thunder. When the ladies in the yard heard the sound, they all said to themselves: How powerful...

Subsequently, everyone agreed on detailed cooperation rules, including: "leaders' meeting system", "plenary meeting system", "annual profit sharing rules", "increase and decrease of members rules", etc., which are basically imitated in later generations of "shareholding systems". The terms are too

There are many, so I won’t go into details.

Finally, Jin Shiqi proposed to give all these clauses a name to make it easier to refer to them. Yao Mengyang immediately shouted: "Aiwanlou Agreement!" Jin Shiqi was about to object, but all the young masters cheered. Jin Shiqi smiled brightly and made the decision.

…

After the "Aiwanlou Team" was born, Jin Shiqi went to negotiate with Liu Yingkun with his silver in his arms.

Liu Yingkun smiled and said: "You didn't come to ask me for three days at sea. You are very tolerant."

Jin Shiqi hurriedly said: "The boys are responsible for escorting and do not dare to rashly interfere with personal matters."

Liu Yingkun smiled and said, "Jin Shiqi, Mr. Yuan has praised you in every possible way. You are leaving, I'm sorry for him!"

Jin Shiqi secretly said: Yes, you only saw him praising me, but never saw him plotting against me behind my back! He said sadly: "I have been serving in the imperial court for generations. Please have mercy on my father-in-law. I have an old body."

A poor master with two ignorant younger brothers..."

"Okay, I won't listen to your nonsense." Liu Yingkun asked his entourage to bring a large silver-gilt wooden box and opened it. Inside were 24 gilded brochures with the words "Price Booklet" written on them. Liu Yingkun picked out the book labeled "Military

A volume with the words "Wu Yi Lei", and then looked at Jin Shiqi with a sincere look, "Let's get down to business, what do you want to buy?"

"..." Jin Shiqi nodded and took out his "shopping list" from his arms.

The two of them entered the state.

The most critical step in Jin Shiqi's plan: to change the "Tieling Guard Thousand Households" of Longwu's disciples into the actual teaching one, and move it to the safest and richest place in the empire. He wants to get at least ten years of development opportunities.

Make plans for the world again.

But Liu Yingkun, an old fox, initially only agreed to move to the remaining military towns on the "Nine Borders", which are the Great Wall defense lines in the north. Isn't this nonsense! This is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Nine Borders will be attacked by Jiannu and Mongolia in turn.

, behind the scenes are the overwhelming peasant rebel armies in the Middle Ages in the north. Jin Shiqi’s history is very different, but he still has basic common sense.

"South of the Yangtze River!" Jin Shiqi pointed to the Guangyu map of the Ming Dynasty, "It is best to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but Guangdong is also okay."...

"Bah! I still want to go to Guangdong!" Liu Yingkun said angrily, "It's not as easy as Guizhou. I can make the decision first."

"My father-in-law, you have pity on me. The war in Guizhou in recent years has been more fierce than that in Liaodong." Jin Shiqi did some research.

"How about Qiongzhou? It is said that it has become prosperous recently."

"Qiongzhou is surrounded by water. I'm seasick, father-in-law." Jin Shiqi doesn't want to go to Hainan. It's too far away from the empire's political and economic system. I have no place to sell a lot of advanced goods, and it's too difficult to develop.

In the end, Liu Yingkun could only temporarily agree to him and row to the south of the Yangtze River, not Guizhou and Qiongzhou. The specific location would be decided by the Ministry of War. Jin Shiqi had no choice but to give up, but as long as he left the north and got rid of the "Tieling Guards", he could fight tenaciously wherever he went.

Live.

The ensuing negotiations went smoothly, and a strong business atmosphere filled the room. You asked for a price, and I sat on the floor to pay you back. At one moment, we were arguing with each other, and at the other moment, we were holding hands and talking sweetly. Jin Shiqi

Fighting for items on his shopping list one by one, Liu Yingkun flipped through his price list to see what was on sale and what was given away——

"The organization and transfer of three thousand-household offices cost fifteen thousand silver." "Deal!"

"Two 'full-time Dusi', ten thousand silver!" "Father-in-law, Zha Yingcai and I's military exploits are enough to be awarded the title of Dusi!" "This price is based on your sufficient military exploits, little brother, if you don't have this

I want fifty thousand from you for your military exploits!" "Okay, deal."

"Ah, father-in-law, it only cost 3,000 taels to transfer so-and-so's two thousand military households last time. Why would I need ten thousand taels to transfer two thousand households?" "You are not a military household! You are a military household, not a civilian household.

There are mixed households and craftsmen households." "Aren't they all citizens of the Ming Dynasty!" "You don't understand. Military households are easy to handle, just check a circle and leave. Civil households are very complicated, I have to go to the household department first.

Transfer to the military and then be stuffed into your Thousand Household Office." "Well, father-in-law, you have worked hard!" "I am not afraid of hard work. I dare to go to Liaodong, let alone the Ministry of Household Affairs, but you have spent all your money!" "Okay, then.

Ten thousand is ten thousand, let’s feel happy.”

"You are so greedy! Do you even want two lucky boats?" "Father-in-law, I shed blood on the boat and developed feelings." "The cost of building a lucky boat is four thousand six." "Father-in-law, it's not worth that much money.

Ah. If I buy it directly in Tianjin, it only costs two thousand five hundred." "This 'four thousand six' is the price your father quoted last year. Do you want me to track it down?" "..." "Say what you say.

Yeah!" "Well, four thousand six is ​​very cheap. But I'm not buying it, I'm just asking you to transfer him to my Thousand Household Office. Then you're not working for our Ming Dynasty." "Those two items count as four for you.

"Thousand." "Not as good as five hundred?" "Three thousand!" "One thousand!" "There is no counteroffer for three thousand, but I can give you 20 horses." "Thank you, father-in-law, it's a deal!"

…

In the end, Jin Shiqi and Liu Yingkun reached a variety of package agreements, involving the establishment of military households, the deployment of military households and civilian households, military duties, land allocation, ships, horses, donkeys, cattle, seeds, farmland water conservancy, weapons manufacturing, mineral mining,

Free travel and a series of other contents. After discount, the total value is 60,000 taels of silver.

The two parties shook hands, signed and signed. Liu Yingkun said: "Pay the money within three days."

"..."

"Don't you believe in the credibility of our Dongchang factory?"

"Then, the boys will bring it to you today."

"Where did you get so much money?"

"More than a dozen generals from the Longwu family are all in charge of garrison. I have saved this money for many years of frugality. I will give it all to you."

"What will you do after that?"

"Farming!"

…

After returning to Shanhaiguan, Jin Shiqi began the relocation work.

The most arduous task is to select and recruit people to move to the new territory. In the Ming Dynasty, both the military and civilians had a strict household registration system, but Jin Shiqi "had someone above him" and obtained enough quota to recruit some "skilled immigrants"...

Jin Shiqi and others were established in three thousand-household offices, which could actually take away 3,000 households with a population of more than 10,000. But he only bought a quota of 2,000 households because he wanted to control the initial scale and leave room for advancement and retreat. After all, there was no shortage in the Ming Dynasty.

When people arrive at their destination, they will expand the population and absorb local people, making it easier to integrate into the local cultural environment. What's more, they have to move across the country from north to south, and it is very troublesome to take a boat, eat and stay.

Most of these 2,000 households are elite Longwu soldiers. Originally, there were only 200 private soldiers left in the Jin Mansion, and only 300 private soldiers in other prefectures. In addition to the 300 people selected by Jin Shiqi on the island, the total was 800.

The number of troops is the essence of Longwu after the First World War in Liaodong. Behind them are 800 families. During the war, more than 500 private soldiers of Jinfu and other generals were killed, and their families were not abandoned. In this way, it is

1,300 households.

The number of people who were actually recruited from outside was only 700. In those days, Jin Shiqi and others recruited vigorously from the Shanhaiguan military camp and civilian households. Those who could work, farm, have skills, could sail a ship, could write and calculate, one after another.

Be included in the list.

At this time, the prestige of Jin Shiqi and Longwu Camp was at its peak. The news spread, and the recruitment scene was packed with people. Officials and generals from all parties certainly had opinions, but there was no way. Jin Shiqi immediately slapped his ass and left, and there were support from senior officials above. They

I could only watch Jin Shiqi swallowing his anger and pulling people around.

Jin Shiqi’s biggest wish was to take away all the thousands of skilled craftsmen from Shanhaiguan Craftsman House. But this was impossible, and Shanhaiguan had to open for work. He reduced the quota to 400, 300, 200... In the end, he spent a lot of money

The money was taken away from only 50 households. Among them, there were many carpenters and construction craftsmen, but there were only a few blacksmiths, shipwrights and other scarce professions. The cannon-casting masters were even beaten to death and refused to be given to them.

Among those 50 households, the first one was Mo'er's father, Su Changshun.

In order to add the most skilled Su carpenter in Shanhaiguan to the list, Jin Shiqi sent 200 taels of silver to the official of the craftsman's office. The official still refused, so Jin Shiqi bought a kitchen knife and tied it with a ribbon and gave it to him, and finally he got it done.

thing.

When Jin Shiqi returned to Shanhaiguan, the first thing he did was to invite Su Mujiang back to his house to apologize, thank him, express gratitude, explain the cause and effect, swear not to change for a hundred years... He also said that the two of them had been keeping their integrity for the past month.

Treat each other with courtesy, it’s up to you to believe it or not.

"It's like this, what can I say!" Old Man Su said tangledly.

"Uncle, then you agree?"

"What can I do!"

Jin Shiqi had so many emotions and words, and finally he condensed it into one sentence: Master, I will never give birth to a girl in this life. This feeling of promising a daughter to others is so heart-wrenching!

It has been confirmed that Su Mo'er will become Jin Shiqi's concubine. However, it is the period of filial piety, and Jin Shiqi still has to wait for the "Qiqi" day. There are many sayings in this era: If you want to marry a wife, you only need to pass the first seven days, because

Marrying a wife is to continue the family's heirs and is the most important serious matter. But taking concubines is a kind of entertainment activity. "Qiqi" is the limit of what public opinion can tolerate.

It was inconvenient for Mo'er to live in his house, so Jin Shiqi sent her father and daughter to the military camp in the side courtyard to protect her in a down-to-earth manner, for fear of flying away. Mo'er went into the house to help him take care of things during the day, and as soon as it got dark, they would

She had to be sent back to the side hospital, otherwise her father would come to ask for her. Jin Shiqi was angry and helpless, so he drew "Countdown to Concubinage" on the door of his room, which was updated every day. Carpenter Su saw it and hated her.

In my heart, I even came into the house after noon to stare at him.

News from eunuch Liu Yingkun kept coming, and things were going smoothly. The Jin Mansion began to prepare for the move: selling properties, packing up, and the mansion was very busy.

While taking care of the family property, Jin Shiqi discovered a secret about the former eldest son Jin.

It was a treasure hidden under his bed.
