2 The plan to make a fortune
At 11:59, the alarm ring of the mobile phone that Li Yu set up rang on time. He was ready and quickly turned off the alarm clock, and then began to try to use the ring to return to modern times.
Despite the previous two unexpected failures, Li Yu did not stop and immediately made a third attempt, but unexpectedly this time it succeeded.
When Li Yu opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he had returned to the hotel room.
The decorations in the room were the same as when he left, with almost no changes, which undoubtedly made Li Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
If the hotel owner thinks that Li Yu runs away and treats his things as waste, or calls the police if something happens, it will inevitably cause trouble for Li Yu.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and Li Yu didn't know whether to sigh that the boss was so arrogant or complain that the boss was cold-blooded.
After opening the box, I looked at it and found that there were quite a few things. The box was still there. Li Yu opened the window and looked at it again, and finally confirmed that he was back.
What happened these days felt like a dream. If it weren't for the porcelain in the ring space and the copper coins on his body, Li Yu wouldn't believe that he had actually gone to the late Ming Dynasty.
Originally, he wanted to get some valuable things, but unfortunately he didn't have that much money. What's more important is that he couldn't be sure that he could come back smoothly at that time. Li Yu couldn't buy all the money he had with him to useless things.
However, since you can travel through the ring, you can be prepared and make a fortune.
Li Yuxian connected the phone to the power supply and turned on it. When he turned on the communication software, he found that there was a blank inside. He felt inexplicably sad.
Five or six days have passed, but no one cares about his life or death. Even Li Qinglong didn’t look for him. How sad!
Soon, Li Yu comforted himself that Li Qinglong must have not come back yet, and he didn't know that he had been driven out by Wu Cuihua, otherwise he would never ignore him.
His psychological quality is far beyond that of ordinary peers, otherwise he would not have been in the Li family for more than ten years.
Li Yu calmed down and decided to take a hot shower first, then go out for a big meal, then go back to the room to have a good sleep.
In the late Ming Dynasty, he had neither eaten nor slept well. He had not even taken a shower, and he was like a refugee.
Li Yu came out of the room and went to the hotel owner to pay the room fee he owed these days.
Unexpectedly, when the hotel owner saw Li Yu, he enthusiastically asked him what he needed, and he didn't even mention the room fee for a few days.
"cough!"
Li Yu coughed: "That boss, calculate the room fee for the past few days!"
He was full of doubts. Could it be that the hotel owner forgot him? Otherwise, why wouldn't he have been looking for him for a few days?
The hotel owner was stunned and smiled and said, "How many days do you stay, handsome guy?"
He saw that Li Yu had not left after twelve o'clock, so he could charge an extra one day's room fee. When he heard Li Yu talk about the room fee for a few days, he thought he would stay here for a few more days.
Li Yu was about to say something when he saw the corner of the computer in front of him showing: February 15, 2027 at 13:14, he was stunned for a moment and took out a hundred yuan: "Live for two days first, and then look!"
He clearly remembered that when his phone was turned on just now, the time displayed on February 21st. It doesn’t seem to be fake when the hotel owner and the computer are there. No matter what, he has to wait until the situation is clear.
After going out for a walk, Li Yu finally confirmed that today was February 15th. A thought came to his mind: Could it be that the time changes in Mingmo are different from that in this place? This can explain why he has been unable to come back with a ring before, and his feelings are simply not matched by time.
After dinner, Li Yu checked the phone that was charging, then looked at the copper coins and two pieces of porcelain and thoughtful.
I don’t know how much these things can be worth. If he could keep traveling back and forth in the modern and late Ming dynasties, wouldn’t he be able to make a lot of money?
Li Yuxian took photos of copper coins and porcelain, and then checked the relevant market conditions online and found that the copper coins in his hand could be sold for dozens of yuan, the more could be sold for tens of thousands, and the two porcelains could be sold for tens of thousands. He was so excited that he didn't sleep well for a night.
At ten o'clock the next morning, he took a car to Antique Street.
After Li Yu's observation, he found a large antique shop with a relatively enthusiastic service and sold copper coins and porcelain at a price of 1.5% lower than the market price.
Looking at the 20,000 yuan extra in his account, he felt like he was dreaming: he made 20,000 yuan in less than a day. If he had money at that time, he would have bought more calligraphy and paintings of famous masters, exquisite porcelain and jade, wouldn’t he be able to become a billionaire at will?
Li Yu was so excited when he thought of this. He decided to bring some things to the end of the Ming Dynasty this time and find a way to sell them for more of what he wanted.
He lived for six days in the late Ming Dynasty and roughly knew what was needed there.
The main thing is food, clothing, housing and transportation. People in the Ming Dynasty were torn and dirty. It would be very popular to get some old clothes to sell. The problem is that it is difficult to sell at a high price: rich people are not short of clothes, poor people want to buy them, and the others are similar.
In order to find modern, affordable and easy-to-selling products in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yu went to the supermarket and really found a lot of them: mirrors, soaps, glasses, lighters, laundry detergent, shampoo, sugar, salt, paper and pen.
Instead of rushing to buy it, he took his mobile phone to write down what he needed and prepared to go to the wholesale market to buy it together.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Li Yu felt that he wanted to buy a solar power bank so that he would not have to worry about the phone having no power, and he would buy a new phone as a backup.
In order to avoid Li Qinglong's difficulties, Li Yu said that he wanted to work during the winter vacation and has started working.
Li Qinglong hesitated for a moment and agreed.
He knew that his wife Wu Cuihua and son Li Liang were both very repulsive of Li Yu, so he could only turn a blind eye.
When Li Qinglong and Wu Cuihua were entrusted to adopt Li Yu, the man gave them a lot of money to raise Li Yu well.
Without that large sum of money, Li Qinglong's family would not have had a good life today.
Li Qinglong asked himself that he was good to Li Yu over the years, and raised him and gave him a study. He was worthy of that person's instructions. Since Li Yu wanted to go to an internship and work, Li Qinglong naturally would not stop him.
If you want to talk about the most valuable and important thing in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Yu felt that it was still information. If he knew the future development of the situation, he could make arrangements in advance and gain the greatest benefits for himself.
Therefore, Li Yu left the supermarket and went to the bookstore. After some selection, he finally bought a set of Ming Shi.
Although history is written by victors, Ming Dynasty history is no exception, but it is still objective. The key is that he cannot find a better book and he has no choice.
Li Yu was not interested in reading Ming Dynasty from the beginning. There was no need to read what had happened before from the book. He could find out about it to others. He was concerned about how to develop later, so he jumped directly to the eleventh year of Chongzhen.
It took him more than ten minutes to finish reading. The Ming Dynasty fell in six years, and it only took five or six thousand words together.
After Li Yu found out about it, he searched for the major events of Chongzhen on his mobile phone, and then took photos to save them.
He particularly noticed several of them, Governor Hong Chengchou, Lintao General Cao Bianjiao, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Ji Liao Governor Wu Aheng, General Lu Zongwen, Sun Chengzong, and General Lu Xiangsheng.
The first four people are all people with military power. If they are trusted, they will undoubtedly benefit greatly; if the latter four people are all dead, they will inevitably have generous rewards if they can save their lives.
So Li and Li searched for information about their few people in order to understand them better and gain trust more easily.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were the two largest rebel leaders in the late Ming Dynasty. Soon, Li Zicheng attacked the capital and overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established the Dashun regime, while Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime. Unfortunately, they did not defend the fruits of victory, and eventually allowed the Qing Dynasty to take advantage of the Central Plains.
Cao Bianjiao and Lu Zongwen were both generals of the Ming Dynasty, and at the end they all died in resistance to the Qing army. They were considered loyal ministers and generals of the previous generation.
Hong Chengchou and Wu Aheng both served as the governor of Ji and Liao, and were also captured by the Qing army, but in the end the two ended completely differently.
Hong Chengchou first helped the Ming Dynasty suppress the uprising army and became an important official. He served as the governor of Shaanxi three borders, Ji and Liao. Later, Songjin was defeated in the war and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, making great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's unification of the Central Plains.
After Wu Aheng was captured, he refused to surrender and went to his death generously.
Hong Chengchou is a capable minister, but not a loyal minister; while Wu Aheng may not be as capable as Hong Chengchou, but he is a loyal minister.
Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng both served as supervisors, and were both cheated to death by pig teammates who were good at internal fighting.
Sun Chengzong was in charge of Liaodong and echoed with Tianjin Governor Li Banghua and Denglai Governor Yuan Keli. In four years, he ensured that Shanhaiguan was safe and sound, and invisibly saved a lot of military expenditure for the court, giving the Ming Dynasty more opportunities to accumulate energy.
However, Emperor Tianqi believed in the slander of Wei Zhongxian and his followers, and forced Sun Chengzong to resign.
In November of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army launched a large-scale attack on Gaoyang. Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home, led all the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the city. The city was broken and was captured and hanged to death. His five sons, six grandsons, two nephews, and eight nephews were killed in battle, and more than a hundred people in the Sun family were killed.
If Sun Chengzong's death makes people feel tragic, then Li Yu knew that Lu Xiangsheng's death would be more angry.
In October of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, two Qing armies met in Tongzhou to threaten the capital. Chongzhen appointed the governor of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the world's troops, Yang Sichang, and the eunuch of the chief military officer Gao Qiqian speculated that Chongzhen intended to negotiate peace and obstructed Lu Xiangsheng, who was the main war.
Yang Sichang told Chongzhen to use the cabinet chief Liu Yuliang to control reinforcements from all over the world, dividing the reinforcements into two, Lu Xiangsheng commanded Xuan Da 20,000 troops, and tens of thousands of Guanning cavalry were all under the command of eunuch Gao Qiqin.
Later, Lu Xiangsheng's 20,000 Xuanda brigade was handed over to commander Chen Xinjia, and only gave Lu Xiangsheng 5,000 elderly, weak and disabled soldiers. At the same time, Baoding Governor Zhang Qiping closed the city gates and cut off the road to transport wages.
When Lu Xiangsheng's army was surrounded by the main force of the Qing army, less than fifty miles away from Jiazhuang, Gao Qiqian, who had tens of thousands of Guanning cavalry, ignored Yang Tinglinli, who came to ask for help, and Lu Xiangsheng, who had run out of ammunition and food, died heroically for his country.
