"I didn't expect that someone would give me a pillow when I fell asleep." Yi Haoran smiled and said, "How wonderful."
“I also think there is an opportunity, but I just don’t know how to use it.”
"You have to think carefully about how to use students. But now that these three mouths have been purified by Luo Shan, we can do whatever we want." Yi Haoran usually rarely talks frivolously, but this time he couldn't help but start driving.
.
"Sir, you are joking."
"It's really not a joke." Yi Haoran said, "Right now, let's help him settle the matter of the three hundred shi of food." He asked, "How much silver per shi does Liu Hope need?"
"Two taels will do - he is in a hurry to sell it. If he wants cash, it must be gold and silver."
"Easy to talk about." Yi Haoran thought to himself, there is already someone doing this business, and that is Jiang Rongxian. He has already participated in the joint venture to buy grain. Now this deal can get grain immediately, and he can also take advantage of the price of grain.
Sell it once when it's high.
"There is also the problem of this theater box, which is not easy to handle...I am not a local either." Chang Qingyun said.
"I know Wuzhou City better than you, let me help you look for it." Yi Haoran agreed.
The conspiracy began in full swing. In order to alleviate Luo Yangming's suspicion of himself, Yi Haoran did not run around anywhere except the two points and one line between Mihang and Pier every day, and rarely saw outsiders. Jiang Suo, who rushed back from Gou Er's Office, took charge
A lot of liaison work.
In their private activities during this period, in addition to contacting the Gou Er gang and the remnants of Song Ming, they also successively collected some separated personnel. Most of these people were stragglers and stragglers who had committed blood debts and were outraged by the people and could not be forgiven by the Kun thieves.
Yi Haoran, a small official, used this threat and the temptation of "making meritorious deeds" to get them to join this conspiracy.
Now, through layers of control, he has mastered a gang of about a hundred people. Many of them work under the Australians, and many work in the security team, assisting the National Army in night patrols and standing guard. There are also some people who, through
Those who were replenished on the spot directly joined the National Army as soldiers. Others simply worked as errands in the municipal government agencies.
Through these people, Yi Haoran successfully found out the night duty and patrol status of the city gate and the third general office. This was crucial for their surprise attack.
They also obtained weapons through traitors. After the liberation of Wuzhou, most of the weapons collected from defeated soldiers or weapons recovered from battlefield cleaning were piled in warehouses near the dock waiting for evacuation. Most of the heavy firearms such as artillery have been transported back to Guangzhou as
The resources were recovered. Light firearms, swords, guns and armors of good quality were distributed to the rural militiamen in various villages to arm themselves for self-defense.
Even so, there are still a lot of weapons left that have not been transported away. Regardless of whether Xie Yiren or Luo Yangming have more money, in their eyes, this is not a pile of worthless scraps. But to Yi Haoran and the others, this is
It is the best equipment for armed rioters. Jiang Suo even obtained several pieces of armor for the Gou Er gang and buried them in secret places outside the city in advance.
Chang Qingyun contacted Jiang Rongxian through Yi Haoran. Shopkeeper Jiang heard that there was such a good opportunity and immediately agreed to go to Sanhezui with Chang Qingyun.
The business was settled immediately. Jiang Rongxian not only bought all the grain embezzled by Liu Hope and others, but also bought all kinds of cloth and groceries. In one fell swoop, they received almost one thousand taels of silver.
Liu Hope had never seen so much white silver in his life. He looked around the official box filled with silver, took silver ingots of different sizes and shapes in his hands, and rubbed them countless times.
His whole body was shaking. So much money! Not to mention himself, even the eighteen generations of his Liu family’s ancestors combined had probably never earned this much money!
I think back then, I was just a little beggar who was almost starving to death, wandering and begging in Lingao. Not to mention getting money, I could just get a bowl of decent food. I am so lucky today. Who would have thought that I would be today?
Such a situation exists!
It's all the kindness of the chief! At this moment, Liu Youyi was almost extremely grateful to the Senate. They say that kindness is like having parents again - in fact, Liu Youyou has no impression of his parents at all, and he can't be said to be grateful. But his gratitude to the Senate is overwhelming.
From the heart.
Thinking of this, his tears suddenly fell down. Chang Qingyun was a little surprised and asked: "Why is the master sad?"
"I'm not sad, but grateful." Liu Hope said, "The kindness of the Senate is really high and deep! The emperor's kindness is so great!"
Listening to his nondescript metaphor, Chang Qingyun was secretly amused, thinking that if I should show more kindness to people like you, the Ming Dynasty would be saved!
He suppressed his laughter and advised: "The master is right, it is all because of the deep kindness of the chief."
"Shit, what kind of kindness have you received from the chief?" Liu Zhiwang was in a good mood and joked about Chang Qingyun, "Since you are the master of the people's education, I must be from a wealthy family."
Chang Qingyun smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "How can I be considered a rich man in my family? Why don't I come here to be a master! But since I was captured by the chief, I can still live with my life spared. Isn't it a great grace from the chief..."
"That's right. If the chief had the same attitude as your officials from the Ming Dynasty and said in one sentence: 'Pull him out and behead him,' your head would have been rotten long ago."
Chang Qingyun laughed dryly: "If your head is rotten, how can you do errands for me?"
"That's right, so the Senate is our great benefactor. Old Chang, you are really a capable person." Chang Qingyun managed to find a buyer of grain for Liu Youyou, which made Liu Youyou become more and more interested in him.
They looked at each other with admiration and got a lot closer in their words.
"Master, I praise you so much, I praise you so much."
"That theater box..."
"It's all on the students, the supervisor is satisfied!"
"Okay," Liu Hope patted his belly. He wanted to take a piece of silver from the box and give it to Chang Qingyun, but he was reluctant. He hesitated for a while before saying, "You can go down now."
Liu Youwang watched Chang Qingyun leave and was secretly upset. If he had known that Chang Qingyun was such a talented person, he would have forced him to come out to "assist" him early. Why bother hanging out with Jiang Yougong? The more than one thousand taels of silver would have been divided among him.
One hundred taels, think about the boss's reluctance.
Thinking of this, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He felt that Jiang Yougong was "not authentic". If he had the heart, he wanted to give it to him without any delay. But when he thought that the three-piece mouth had to rely on his protection, he had to swallow the idea again.
However, he left a backup plan. He only said that he had sold the grain, not mentioning the cloth and groceries that were sold. He had swallowed two hundred taels of silver first.
Jiang Yougong didn't know what Liu Hope was thinking. When he heard that the grain had been sold, he immediately came over to discuss how to send money to Zhu Si.
It's not possible to just take the silver to Zhu Si's place - the Wuzhou government office where the National Army brigade headquarters is located has a lot of people, and a hundred silver coins are too heavy to carry or hide. The Australians accept bribes from their subordinates.
He is very vigilant, and the current food and salary are all used in silver dollar circulation certificates. As long as these one hundred taels of silver are seen by others, Zhu Si will not be able to explain it clearly.
"Why don't we just invite him here and give it to him?" Liu Hope said, "I am absolutely safe here."
"Of course it's safe for him to collect cash here, but how do you bring it back? This is one hundred taels of silver. It's too heavy to carry in your pocket, so you have to get a special box - what will someone say if someone sees it back at the brigade headquarters?"
"Do you still dare to ask him?"
"It's hard to say," Jiang Yougong whispered, "You should know that the chief has spies everywhere..."
These words made Liu Youyou, who had been living a comfortable life recently, break into a cold sweat. The naturalized citizens were somewhat aware of the fact that the Senate had eyes, ears and spies everywhere, but no one had ever dared to talk about these things openly.
"Of course I know this. Otherwise, how can I say that my place is safe? At least there is not a single naturalized citizen here."
“The problem is they’re all over the city!”
"This is difficult."
Both of them fell into silence. Liu Youwang had no experience, and neither did Jiang Yougong: it was not that he had encountered corruption in the years he had joined Kun, but firstly, it was not such a large amount, and secondly, Lingao had long since lost his money.
, it is much more convenient to use all circulation coupons. Ming Dynasty has a lot of experience, but it cannot be applied directly.
"You can't help with this!" Liu Wangwang said, "I think it's better to invite Mr. Chang to discuss it!"
"That's all." Jiang Yougong said, "I'll avoid him first, lest he won't want to speak when he sees many people."
When Chang Qingyun was called back and heard what was going on, his mind suddenly turned a few corners. After making a thorough calculation in his mind, he asked: "There is a way, but it can only be temporary..."
"You speak first!"
"There are many ways not to give money directly, but most of them cannot be used under the rule of the Australians. But there is a way available at the moment." Chang Qingyun said, "Finding a well-established brand that does not have much dealings with the Australians is...
"
The specific operation is to deposit money into this store, and the other party will issue a small secret seal. If necessary, just write a note and stamp the small seal. As long as the amount is within the limit, the store will directly give you the money after seeing this seal.
silver.
Of course, there are more complicated methods, which not only allow you to deposit and withdraw money at any time, but also launder the money. However, Chang Qingyun believes that this is not necessary-it is a wartime situation, and making it too complicated will arouse suspicion.
"This method is good! So why do you think it can only be temporary?" Liu Youwang asked.
"Australians all use currency notes. Now that the war is tense, this matter has been put on hold for the time being. When the war subsides, it will naturally be implemented. Then it will be troublesome to withdraw money..."
"You are so fucking worried!" Liu Wangwang said with a smile, "It doesn't matter! If I save money, I have to give it to you, and leave the rest alone."
He thought for a while and said: "This is a good method. I think I can save my part in this way. Otherwise, I would not feel safe keeping it around. I am afraid of people checking and stealing. It will be much better if I follow your method! It's up to you.
