0693 When the cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold
Liu Haojia laughed, flicked the paper in his hand with his fingers and said: "Sure enough, when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold! Madam, please erase the fractions and calculate the whole number. Then prepare the silver and send it to the capital."
Zhang Peijia said with a smile: "I have already made arrangements. There are some deposits in Liansheng Bank that cannot be touched. For the missing parts, we need to prepare some cash from Liansheng Bank in Beijing."
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. If you give away the money, they still have to deposit it in the bank. Just treat it as a transfer."
Zhang Peijia fiddled with the abacus beads at hand and said: "It's so profitable to attack civil servants. I'm jealous when I see it. I want to do it more times. I'm afraid those who benefit will go crazy, right?"
Liu Haojia put down the note in his hand and said: "This is the first time that the Japanese are unprepared to attack. It will not be so easy next time. But it is still possible to take a small advantage! But next we should let these pirates attack south! South
Sooner or later it will be a battleground for us, let's let them mess it up first."
Zhang Pejia said: "I don't understand these things, but I guess that my husband is going to talk to them about these things, so I have already asked people to prepare a banquet! In addition, I have also prepared a batch of ordnance to sell to these pirates.
We can also make a lot of money back from the distributed money. This money can be put into our own account."
Liu Haojia laughed, patted Zhang Peijia's hand and said, "I have a good wife by my side, so it really saves me a lot of effort!"
After speaking, he shouted and said: "Come here, ask someone to inform Liu Longtou that I will entertain them and give them some money."
The servant turned around and left after receiving the order. Liu Haojia also started to ask people to do an accounting and count the supplies to see how much money they could sell in the evening. When the pirates got the news, they naturally burst into joy! Isn't it just for money when they go out to fight? It seems
Mr. Hou still means what he says!
That night, Liu Haojia held a banquet at Tianjin Shiweizhai to entertain many pirate leaders. And when he notified the pirates, he specifically told the pirates that everyone should consider themselves sea merchants and pay attention to their clothing and tone of voice. As much as possible
Don't let others see the problem.
This made the pirates even happier. They all dressed up as wealthy merchants and went to the banquet with their confidants. But they were used to being at ease at sea, and they felt like they were wearing normal clothes! But they were
I don’t think so, but I show off proudly,
Liu Haojia did not come forward at this dinner. He was a marquis, and entertaining some maritime merchants would be a disgrace to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Guangyuan's son Liu Jinbao came forward. Liu Jinbao is now regarded as inheriting his father's business. His father is here
Gu Ninghoufu was on duty, and he took over the position of housekeeper of Wuninghoufu, so it was enough for him to step in.
During the banquet, Jinbao performed very well, getting along with many merchants, and also sold weapons to the merchants with the cooperation of Liu Guangting. With the help of alcohol, the merchants felt that with weapons, they could do whatever they wanted like Wu Ninghou.
So they placed a large number of orders and returned almost all of their share of the loot.
And during the dinner, Liu Jinbao also placed an order with them, asking for local specialties from Southeast Asia, especially the giant trees in the old forests of Southeast Asia. Because Liu Haojia specifically told him that the most suitable wood for shipbuilding is not only found in the old forests of Liaodong, but also in Southeast Asia.
Among the dense forests, especially the teak produced in East Asia is the best shipbuilding material!
When the maritime merchants saw that they could make money, they naturally agreed, which meant that they had turned their attention to Southeast Asia. How could these merchants who were accustomed to piracy do business honestly? Most of the time they must rely on robbery.
of!
In addition, the news has spread that many noble people have placed hard work orders. It is okay for them to catch some natives when they come back from Southeast Asia specialties! It can be seen that in the near future, Southeast Asia will definitely suffer from these maritime traders.
The harassment!
Although Liu Haojia did not attend the dinner, he was not idle either. He had already taken the money under escort and set off overnight. He wanted to get to the capital before the news reached the capital and create the greatest effect!
After he entered the capital in a low-key manner with the silver car, he immediately came to Liansheng Bank. As soon as he saw the shopkeeper, he asked: "I have sent a message for you to prepare the money. Are the cars and horses ready?"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and said: "Everything is ready! Even the luncheon is ready! The invitations are being written and will be sent out later."
Liu Haojia said with satisfaction: "Okay, write one and send a copy immediately. At noon today, I want everyone in the capital to know that I am sending a lot of money!"
The shopkeeper nodded and went to make arrangements, and Liu Haojia went to take a shower and change clothes to cheer herself up.
Just a moment later, there were fast horses galloping in the Lend Lease Bank, and the people on the horses shouted proudly to people to get out of the way. Pedestrians on the road were shocked by the behavior of these people, and they ducked to both sides.
Some people thought that something big must have happened to Lend Lease Bank, but those with a vicious eye saw the smile on the face of the man on the horse and concluded that nothing big happened, and even if something big happened, it was a good thing!
There is no shortage of such good people in this world. There are people following these people on horseback to see where they are going. As a result, the news came back and one person went directly to the palace gate and was led in. The rest
The houses people rushed to were all nobles from various families and some big businessmen. Moreover, the people who greeted them and the messengers were all smiling after talking to each other. It seemed that it must be a good thing, and it was a big good thing!
Then another piece of news came. The busiest restaurant in the capital, Zishiweizhai, had actually announced that it would not accept customers at noon and the restaurant would be reserved by the owner, and the door was even decorated with red paint!
Then the third news came. Lend Lease Bank set off fireworks and firecrackers at the door, and then silver cars clad in red and colorful colors poured out one after another! Each car creaked under the weight of the silver boxes, and it was extremely heavy! And
The most outrageous thing is that the silver cars are leaving one after another, with no end in sight!
In an instant, this topic ignited the enthusiasm of the people in the capital! Everyone speculated that Wu Ninghou was going to give out money? Did he already have so much money?
So more good-hearted people followed the silver cart and headed straight to Shiweizhai. They saw a large number of guards delivering the heavy silver boxes into the lobby. Then a large number of soldiers poured out from the backyard and surrounded the entire Shiweizhai.
Surround! These soldiers were wearing tight-fitting, narrow-sleeved clothes with belts tied around their waists. They had shiny leather boots on their feet, and the bayonets on their hand-held fireguns were shining brightly. They looked extremely fierce and frightened everyone.
No one dared to get close, even those idle men who had nothing to do did not dare to come forward and could only look at the main entrance from a distance.
