Needless to say rogue bandits, the few well-known giant bandits so far disappeared after being encircled and suppressed by officers and soldiers. As soon as the officers and soldiers retreated and regrouped, the ant army was in vain.
As for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it looked like it was at the end of its rope. However, after Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and changed the country's name, the already sluggish "Dajin" actually regained its vitality.
Huang Taiji's ambition was much greater than that of an old slave who only knew how to be king in a corner and focused on robbery. The key was that his ability could support his ambition.
With his status and business connections in the capital, Huang Taiji also ordered his subordinates to write a letter to persuade him to surrender through the Shenyang branch of the Liaohai Bank, asking him to secretly serve the "Qing Dynasty" and promising him extremely generous benefits. He knew that doing Mongolia Some Shanxi businessmen who are doing business have "fallen into trouble" and are accumulating wealth at an alarming rate.
But these will not make him forget the tragedy that happened when Guangning was withdrawn from the town - a life-and-death struggle.
Only for this Kun thief, his feelings are very complicated. Whether true or not, Kun thief's "descendant of the Song Dynasty" is always of Chinese origin, and his language and writing are also of the same origin. Compared with North Korea, Annan is "little China" , can be regarded as the direct descendant of the original sect.
However, the various actions they took and the concepts they conveyed during their interactions in Hainan showed that they were very different from China. Not to mention North Korea, Vietnam, and even the Europeans he had come into contact with were also very different.
If they take over China, what will it become like? Will it be the kingdom of Yao and Shun or a gang of barbarians?
Li Luoyou doesn't have much hope for the future. Anyway, his life is coming to an end, and death is like a lamp going out. No matter how big the disaster is, he has nothing to do with it. He has made arrangements for business matters, but in troubled times The division or even destruction of this family business is probably inevitable.
The children have already married and established businesses, and whether they will be a blessing or a disaster in the future is entirely up to them. As for the greedy brothers and nephews, they have benefited to some extent. As for whether they can hold on to it or not, that is a matter of personal ability.
He had one final preparation: to send his two concubines and children to the south. One was sent to Macau and entrusted to friends in the Jesuits; the other was secretly sent to Lingao to be taken care of by Gu Baocheng.
In the future, if the world is in chaos and everyone is destroyed, the bloodline of the Li family can always be preserved. He can be considered worthy of his ancestors.
"Shop Leng has given me such an expensive gift. Do you have anything important to ask me for?"
Auntie Qiao's words awakened him from his deep thoughts.
"I probably know what he asked for." Li Luoyou snorted coldly, "It's not easy to handle."
Aunt Qiao didn't dare to answer the question and said for a long time: "This medicine is very suitable for my master's disease. If it can be cured, I'd better help him."
To help or not to help? Li Luoyou was quite hesitant.
Although he was sick at home, there was no news about the capital. Leng Ningyun was kidnapped and returned. Someone secretly planned to run against Delong... He knew a little about these things.
But he never got involved in Delong's business. His brands had many contacts with Delong, but most of them were business relationships. He had nothing to do with the Australians' actions in the north, and he did not invest in it.
The Australian has big plans, and he doesn't want to get involved for a few dollars and offend the court.
Although the imperial court is at the end of its rope, it is still easy to kill him and destroy his family and career. Especially in the capital, where there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and the streets are full of powerful and high-ranking families. Even though he has a huge family fortune and threshold
, also have to be done with caution.
Shopkeeper Leng was kidnapped. He didn't know and had no intention of finding out, but the run on Delong was obviously not Shanxi House's fault.
It is no secret in the capital that Shanxi House tries to squeeze out Delong. However, Delong relies on Eunuch Yang's support. Shanxi House failed in its last attempt and has ceased operations. This time it suddenly resumed its old business, which was obviously instigated by someone else behind the scenes.
This person dared to challenge Delong, so he was obviously not an ordinary official. To be cautious, it was best for him to stay out of the matter.
But if I completely ignore Delong's safety, I won't be able to explain it to the thief Kun.
After thinking about it, I can only "help secretly" but not "help openly".
Thinking of this, his train of thought was completely clear. He immediately said to Aunt Qiao: "Ask Zhang Cheng to come in and see me."
Zhang Cheng is one of his personal servants, specializing in important matters.
"When you go to do this, you have to do it quietly." Li Luoyou warned, "Remember to look for the old deposit and don't go out to redeem it. Don't issue a new ticket."
Wu Kaidi did not follow Li's house - he was too busy and wanted to visit his colleagues one by one. He could only let Leng Ningyun go alone. After he came back, he was even more uneasy. He didn't know what this famous shopkeeper in the capital would do.
What kind of attitude should I have towards Shopkeeper Leng?
Although Shopkeeper Leng is confident and has a lot of confidence in Li Luoyou's intention, Wu Kaidi is well aware that shopping malls are dangerous and people are cold and warm. Let alone business partners, even if they have life-saving grace, they may not buy it in times of crisis.
.so he has been restless.
Seeing Leng Ningyun come back, he smiled slightly. He was only half relieved. After seeing the gift, he hurriedly asked: "What did the master say when he met the shopkeeper Li?"
"What can he say, a fox who has been practicing for thousands of years? Of course he said yes." Leng Ningyun said with a smile, "He refused to say the truth."
Wu Kaidi said hurriedly: "Master, you can always laugh..." Suddenly he felt that he was being too crazy, so he paused and said, "There is no room for jokes in this matter. What is going on?"
"Don't be impatient." Leng Ningyun sat down calmly, drank a bowl of tea, and asked someone to bring snacks, and then said slowly.
"Shopkeeper Li is very polite. However, if he comes forward to support Delong, he will definitely not do it. He is also afraid of the other party's backstage."
"Does he know who is behind the scenes?"
"I guess he may know a little bit, but he is not an ordinary person in the capital who dares to touch me." Leng Ningyun sighed, "Even if he is the shopkeeper Li, he is not willing to cause trouble for nothing."
"Then, then, isn't that nothing?"
"That's not the case." Leng Ningyun said, patting the prayer box at hand, "This is the harvest. Just open it and take a look."
Wu Kaidi hurriedly opened the prayer box, only to find a stack of mulberry paper inside, old and new, some even stained. But he immediately figured out that they were all banknotes!
"Banknote?!"
"Yes, a total of thirty thousand taels."
I rummaged around and found that these banknotes were all issued by Shanxi Houses. They were old and new, so they were probably specially collected. This Mr. Li is really interesting!
"It's a pity that it's only 30,000 yuan..." Wu Kaidi calculated in his mind that with the loan from his junior colleague, he could still collect 50,000 yuan.
"Fifty thousand is a lot." Leng Ningyun swallowed the snacks in his mouth and clapped his hands, "This meal on the fifth day of the new year is the key. If we don't tidy them up at the Qianye Guild's banquet, even if
You gave us 300,000 taels of silver to deal with it, but it will also be a hidden danger in the future!"
"That's what I said..."
"What did my colleagues say?" Leng Ningyun interrupted him and asked.
"I have visited each of them today. The six families are very sympathetic to us and are willing to help us. But they are all afraid of the Shanxi house..."
It is said in vain that because their colleagues have less capital and lower barriers to entry, they don’t dare to offend Shanxi House. However, they are also dissatisfied with Shanxi House’s dominance of the capital market and its domineering behavior. So they also hope that Delong can survive. So they borrowed this
Everyone agreed to the matter. They just asked Delong to keep it secret.
"...Of course. As long as they are willing to pay, we will naturally love it."
"Master, of course we have to meet you, but this money..." Wu Kaidi hesitated, and took out a book protector with a wry smile on his face.
"It's all notes? It doesn't matter what the notes are. I didn't expect them to come out with any money."
Then I opened it and was stunned: It turned out that it was full of Delong’s bills!
"The total is twenty-seven thousand three hundred and twenty-two cents a cent." Wu Kai said authentically, "I have counted them all."
Leng Ningyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The people who came to run the bank originally wanted to exchange Delong's notes for them, but now they brought more than 20,000 Delong's notes. Who was he going to exchange it for?
"Forget it, at least you helped us clear 27,000 taels of notes on the market."
"Several shopkeepers have said that if Delong does not fail, the tickets will be returned to them at that time without interest. If..." He hesitated and did not continue.
If it falls down, these notes will be just a pile of waste paper.
These Southern guys are quite good!
Then again, the notes they sent to Delong were also supported by real money, which made their position clear. Objectively speaking, it also reduced the pressure on the market that Delong faced.
"This kind of love is big enough." Leng Ningyun nodded and said, "You still have to pay interest."
"After this calculation, we still have a shortfall of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan."
"It depends on tonight."
"Master, are you sure?" Wu Kaidi couldn't help but ask again.
"Between five and five." He still answered in the same way.
Wu Kaidi was furious about it. Although Delong didn't have half of his silver shares, he was just a "big guy" earning twelve taels a month, but he had complemented Leng Ningyun over the years, and the world of Delong, the capital of the capital, also had his share.
Credit. Deep feelings.
Although Leng Ningyun was not confident at the moment, he was quite sure about tomorrow's meeting. Before he returned to Delong, Hexiang had already handed over the relevant information about the Shanxi house to the special reconnaissance team of the General Reconnaissance Bureau that came to command this time.
In the hands of the liaison officer sent.
He was very trustworthy in the abilities of the special investigation team. To be honest, if it weren't for this business, he would still be able to continue doing it and not be regarded as a "monster". He really wanted to direct the snipers to kill a few people at the banquet tomorrow night. Let's talk about his experience.
Laughter kills people with silent pleasure.
It's just that he can't talk about it openly. Besides, unlike other places, the net in the capital is tight. Even the special investigation team may not be able to come and go freely. So he just mentioned a "shock" goal and how to implement it.
