Liu Yu frowned suddenly and said in surprise: "Such a big loss? Even if an ordinary person dies, he has to report it to the government. Or is it your spies, who are strictly speaking from the government? Who is so bold?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "They are the kind who never see their bodies alive or dead. Most of my spies are the kind who have no family members. Many of them are orphans I adopted since childhood. Without them, it will be like a lamp going out. There will be nothing."
People report it to the official. Even if it is reported to the official, it is impossible to find out. Jinu, our opponent is in the dark. You don’t know who it is. It may even be our comrades who did it. Don’t forget, the city
Many of the industries here are affiliated with the eight brothers from Beifu Junjing. The underground execution hall in Xile used to kill people every day. Could it be that they will quit now?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Xile is not in Jiankang City now. I believe this matter has nothing to do with him."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "But his property is here, and his subordinates are also here. It is an issue related to the livelihood of thousands of people. This kind of underground fighting has never really stopped. Send slaves.
, We are now a court and a ruling official. We cannot use the old Jianghu method to solve problems. All attacks on crimes must be based on real evidence. And my spies are here to collect this intelligence and evidence. They do it every day.
They are all gambling with their lives."
Liu Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "If these brothers have family members, please provide them with good care for me. If the money cannot be used openly, you can find a way to create another name, and I will help you carry it."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. In fact, my informants all know that every meal I eat may be the last meal. If there is a chance, I will establish enough
After taking the credit, I hope you can give them some official status."
Liu Yu nodded: "If we find important clues and make meritorious service, I will give them officers and titles based on military merit. Even in the army, spies who spy on the enemy are rewarded. By the way, they have paid so much."
Did you find out anything about the price?"
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "What I want to investigate most is Kuang Zhi's death. However, there is no progress along the way. I have been investigating again and again, and most of them are the battles in the underground industries in the capital. Those aristocratic families are still unwilling to let go."
In this way, the property was handed over to others, and while the soldiers of the Beifu Army had many opportunities to go on expeditions with Xile and the others, they began to plunder and take back these properties."
Liu Yu suddenly changed his expression: "Asshole, I clearly gave an order that these properties must be given according to titles and no private looting is allowed. Do these people think that my order is a piece of paper?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Jinnu, you have underestimated the means by which the children of these aristocratic families can circumvent your laws. Of course, they dare not come up and rob other people's property, but they can do business in partnership with others.
Money comes in, or it's under the guise of finding experienced shopkeepers and clerks to help take care of it, leaving those Beifu Army family members who don't have men at home for the time being with no choice."
Having said this, Liu Muzhi paused: "It's like the Li Dazhu family in Jiudaogou, do you still remember it?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Remember Brother Dazhu, he is now going on an expedition with Xile. He has an old woman and a daughter-in-law at home, and a seven-year-old son. His second brother Erzhu broke his left leg during the Battle of Jianyi.
, can no longer go on an expedition, I remember giving Dazhu a building owner based on military merit, and divided two silk and satin shops in the city to provide a family's livelihood. Is that right? "
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, this is the Li Dazhu family. After they had a silk and satin shop, they were targeted by the Wang Yu family, because the two silk and satin shops were originally owned by the Wang family, and they were given to Xile last time.
Zhu, the Wang family couldn't swallow this, so they took advantage of Dazhu's absence to take back these two shops."
Liu Yu said angrily: "He dares!"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "As I said before, of course you don't dare to rob openly, but you can rob secretly. There are only old and weak women and children in Dazhu's family now, not even a servant, and there are no shopkeepers or waiters in the shop. There are always
You can't just keep your shop and enjoy the northwest wind. Moreover, the Wang family has several similar silk and satin shops next to his two shops. Thanks to their wealth, the silks and satins sold by their family are two times cheaper than those of the Dazhu family.
If it costs more than ten yuan, all the customers will go to the Wang family's shop to buy it, and the Dazhu family won't be able to sell a single horse in three days."
Liu Yu flew up with a kick and kicked away a small clod of soil beside him: "These black-hearted bastards, they don't even think that they can still sell cloth today. Who is protecting them? Don't their consciences hurt?
?”
Liu Muzhi sneered: "If they still had conscience, would they make the country like this? In the eyes of these people, the family members of the Beifu army who occupy these shops are their enemies, more than the Hulu and various rebels.
.If we don’t take advantage of the opportunity of these soldiers to go out to fight and seize back these properties, we will have no chance in the future.”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that we want to bring all the relatives in Jingkou to work in the capital? If we have people, we are afraid that we can't sell anything? Ordinarily, our brothers have made contributions and acquired property, and they are considered rich.
,How come no one comes to seek wealth?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Jinnu, maybe we thought about some things too simply at the time. There are ancestral houses and fields in Jingkou. In any case, farming is productive, and everyone has lived there for generations.
, we Jingkou people are relocating and don’t really want to leave our homes. Besides, after entering the city, we can’t enjoy the happiness, we have to work, and we have to pay taxes and serve on a per capita basis. This is something that no one can avoid. We want the rich families to give
The servants pay taxes, and they themselves have to follow suit. Nowadays, these aristocratic families are using their business advantages over the years to make it impossible for the Jingba brothers to continue their business. Like the Dazhu family, several of his nephews also came to help.
As a result, he couldn't sell two pieces of cloth in two months, and his family couldn't afford to lose the money, so they had to send a few nephews back to the countryside. At least, they would have food to eat while farming in Jingkou. Dazhu's wife came to see me
Several times, she said that if it happens again, even her family will move back to Jingkou."
Liu Yu was silent for a long time: "Then what solution do you have to solve this situation? This kind of thing must be common, not Dazhu's family."
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "This is the main reason why I came to you today. The reason why the aristocratic family can come here is because they have a large number of people. They have been in Beijing for many years and have various purchase and sales channels.
Qing Dynasty, a big family and a big business can afford to lose money at a low price. If the Jingba brothers fight against them one by one for this business, the result will only be defeated by each one."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "Yes, this is the same principle as the art of war. Use the masses to attack the few, and use the strong to bully the weak. If you want to crack it, you must either find a way to disperse the enemy troops, or gather them in large numbers to defeat them.
