Chapter 412 The Master of Suzhou

The big ship slowly landed, and Qi Jiguang, dressed in military uniform, stood at the bow of the ship. He was wearing General Shanwen's armor, the big red tassel on his helmet, and the cloak that was black on his outside and red inside behind his shoulders was flying in the air.
Silence in casual clothes was already standing at the dock. He greeted him with a smile, and then he bowed and smiled from a distance: "Brother Yuan Jing, don't be fine! Lord Qi Jiguang dared not be negligent. He quickly replied: "Sir, don't be fine!" Although he is a fourth-rank general, two more than silence, he is a civil servant, which is far more precious than him, let alone civil servants command military officers. This is an iron rule.
But when he was called brother and brother, he called him the name directly, but now he has to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, which makes Qi Jiguang feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shen Motong welcomed him at the dock, which made him much better.
When Qi Jiguang put down the pedal, he was the first to come down and was about to pay a visit. Shunshu quickly held him and said with a serious look on his face: "Do you still remember what we said in Longshan? Bad habits cannot be learned!"
Qi Jiguang immediately recalled that winter, the two of them were in the small thatched cottage behind Longshan, waving and sensualizing words and giving instructions to the world. Even if they talk about the world, they really mean "just being a romantic young man, trying their skills and repairing the sky!
When I think of this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Do you still remember our ideal?" Chen Si shook hands tightly with him.
Qi Jiguang nodded heavily and said: “We enrich the country and strengthen the army and revitalize the majesty of China!”
"Yang Wei is everywhere, China is going to let all countries come to pay tribute!" Chen Si was also excited and patted his hand hard and said, "Brother Yuan Jing, although the goal is very far, you and I are indeed one step closer!"
Listening to his words, Qi Jiguang regained his calm mood and nodded, "My sir is in charge of a mansion and holds the power to open a port. Now he has eliminated the obstacles. It is a good time to achieve great success."
He looked at him silently and smiled, "Brother Yuan Jing, from what you said, I heard a sense of resentment."
"Jiguang dare not." Qi Jiguang said softly.
"You and my brother, don't be restrained by Xu Li!" Chen Si patted his arm and said, "Speak as he walked."
Qi Jiguang nodded and walked along the river with him, passing through the crowd of people who were unloading sacks on the boat, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.
Chen Ji said, "To be honest, is Brother Yuan Jing obedient, I am too selfish and too selfish?"
"I dare not." Qi Jiguang quickly denied: Just as the military rules of our cooperation said. Obedience is the duty of a soldier. I have always used this to demand my subordinates, and of course I have to take responsibility."
"Look..." Silent pointed at him and said with a smile: "You have to use military rules to convince yourself before you can come to me... It means you are really reluctant and unwilling to accept it!"
Qi Jiguang chuckled and said, "I'm so worried about it if I don't have anything."
"I didn't care." I said silently: "You probably want to be far away from the war zone. Compared with Songjiang, Ningbo and Taizhou, there are too few opportunities for war. I'm afraid that most of the time, I will give him a quiet word to guard the house. Is it right?"
Qi Jiguang smiled and didn't say anything, obviously he was impressed.
"It turns out that you are not wrong to think this way. Suzhou is indeed not the front line." Silent stood firm and said to him seriously: "But it is wrong now, because the port is about to be opened here. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is also a bad thing that cuts off people's and wealth. Although those people have lost this battle, they will definitely not give up.
"If the literary ones don't work, the martial ones come; if the bright ones don't work, the dark ones come." Chen Jing continued: "When the open and secret arrows do not work, they will definitely attract the Japanese pirates and defeat them in the death."
Qi Jiguang nodded and said, "Originally, they were colluding with the Japanese pirates, so it is no longer a secret in Zhejiang."
"Well," Chen Mo nodded, "So Brother Yuan Jing must not relax, practice harder, and wait for the opportunity to come, and make a big splash!"
Qi Jiguang said in a stern manner: "I will receive the teachings."
"Look, this one is here again." Chen Shu laughed and said, "But now, I still have to trouble Brother Yuan Jing. Take the warning of Suzhou City."
"The matter in Suzhou." Qi Jiguang sincerely praised: "Sir, you are so skillful. As the rain and rain, all the wealthy families were allowed to enter."
"Haha," said silently, "I think my misty game is already seen through, Brother Yuan Jing has seen through it?"
"After repeated considerations," Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "I can only say that I understand a rough idea,"
"Let's listen." Silently smiled and then showed off his awesomeness. "Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "The adults used the strategy of "showing the enemy as weak, letting go first, and leading them to the trap step by step!" "Haha, how to show the enemy as weak, letting go first, and leading them to the trap."
"On the surface, the adults seemed to be caught off guard by those people, but I see that the adults responded step by step and were not in a position, which was obviously the first opportunity to predict the enemy and had already responded." Qi Jiguang Kai said, "When I saw that the adults obviously bought food, they just stopped moving. When the other party's money was replaced with food and tickets, they were thrown out in one fell swoop, causing the food to plummet, and the tickets depreciated significantly, which made those people lose their old capital!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is like fighting on the battlefield. In fact, it is a similar thing. It clearly has the advantage of military strength, but he insists on showing that the enemy is weak, putting it into the ambush circle, and then encircling and annihilation!"
"It turns out that I will never leave my business! As I said that, I looked at the wide river and said, "Yes, in fact, this incident did not last for so long, and it was so big. As long as I make up my mind to govern the market with an iron fist, crack down on illegal things, and rely on prices, I believe that you and your army will be shocked and can be strangled in the bud."
"The reason why it has developed to this day." Silently said: "The unexpected strength of the enemy is one aspect. I deliberately show weakness or even deliberately indulge it, which is also a very important reason. As I said that, I smiled softly and said: "It was me who deliberately suppressed all the chips and did not use them. I complicate the matter of ordering.
"Why do you want this, sir?" Qi Jiguang asked softly.
"This is a war!" said silently: "It was their challenge to me and the Maritime Bureau. Judging from the development of the situation, at first they did not plan to fight to the final battle, but to test or intimidate me. If I ended it simply and roughly, I would definitely return to the TV series. I don't have that much time to share with them, so it's better to have a long pain than a short one, and it's better to completely settle it in one go!"
"Sir, wise." Qi Jiguang said sincerely: "Now, it's completely quiet."
Chen Shu shook his head and smiled, "How is that possible?" He said, scratching his head, and said with a distressed look on his face, "The trouble is still behind, just as I told you just now, if it is not handled properly, there will be a big mess!" He said, "He stood up and said in a stern manner: "General Qi!"
"The last one will be in." Qi Jiguang clasped his fists and said.
"I'll ask you for the public security in Suzhou City, especially the granary at the wharf, the ticket numbers, pawn shops in the city, and those businesses, you should pay attention to it. "I'm silent and deep instructed: "Don't let the situation worsen." "Yes!" Qi Jiguang said.
Just as silence predicted, trouble is still coming. With a large amount of grain entering the market, grain prices fell rapidly, and at the same time, the overall price fell rapidly. Various tickets that were originally like hot cakes suddenly became hot potatoes...
In contrast to the initial situation, things are cheap now and can be bought with less money. However, those ticket numbers and the massive tickets in the money shop are in short supply. Half of them are purchased at high prices, and the other is mortgaged by debtors at higher considerations.
No matter which one, the cost of obtaining is much higher now.
The bosses had to lower the price of the tickets to the price level, but the people no longer admitted it and did not buy these tickets! Their hearts of chasing the rise and fall were particularly prominent at this moment. People think that the price will continue to fall, so they will naturally hold their coins to buy and no longer use a penny of money.
Someone wants to ask, after months of hard work, just buying high-priced grain, do ordinary people still have money?
The answer is, it can be said that there is, or there is no. The reason for saying this is because they do have silver in their hands, but they all borrowed money from pawnshops and ticket numbers... After using up all their money, they can't tie their necks and don't eat, so they can only borrow money from pawnshops and ticket numbers.
Of course, we cannot borrow it for free. In addition to the super high interest rate, there are also various tickets for mortgage. At that time, prices were soaring. When tickets were incredibly popular, the heads of money shops and pawn shops were very happy to eat these cheap tickets. They believed that as the prices change with each passing day, their wealth could also grow.
Even if you don’t want the middle-aged man, you can lend money with it, which is very relaxed.
But they don’t know what “putting money in order to be safe” means. When the tickets have not become silver, and the money that is earned is aroused, everything is possible!
Now the price of the coupon has plummeted, and the wealth of the ticket bank has also shrunk sharply. The bosses behind the scenes are anxious, and the leaders in front of the stage are even more like a needle blanket. They quickly put together and decided to start from two aspects to avoid urging the people to pay back the money as soon as possible. On the one hand, they put pressure on the sale companies to redeem the tickets at the original price. In short, they must quickly deal with these damn tickets.
But what goes against my wish is that these two methods are useless at all. Let’s talk about the former first, and the people will naturally settle the accounts. Since those coupons are not valuable, if they return the seal money, it is not worth it to redeem the coupons. It is better to just rely on the account and leave the money behind, and don’t have those coupons that are becoming cheaper.
So when the guys came to the door to ask for money from Yinzi, the debtors said, "The money was used to buy things before, but now we have no money, so the coupons will be left for you.
I don’t know where this bad idea came from, but it soon spread throughout the city. The people followed suit and started to pay for their debts. There was no way to do so in pawnshops and ticket numbers. Because the value of the mortgaged property has always been much higher than the seal money itself, so the "dual clearance" statement has always been the saying, that is, the seal money with the mortgaged property is not repaid when it is due, and if it is not repaid, it is no need to repay it. However, the mortgaged property belongs to the creditor. This was originally a trick to exploit the debtors. Unexpectedly, the city was lifted and beaten by the foot. Besides, the latter, the stalls and display cabinets, came to find the store that issued the coupon and asked them to redeem it at the original price. The store definitely did not agree. They said: "The back of the coupon is very clear, "Once it is sold, it will not be redeemed." Didn’t you see clearly when you bought it?
The showcases of the Piaohao Money House were angry and slapped the table and said, "If you don't redeem it, then you will be fully cashed out and we will be done together!"
The shop really has no ability to cash out, but they are not afraid of boiling water. They said, "We have bought all the money and have no money now. Now you are too generous. Take your time. If you force it tightly, we will lose everything and have to go bankrupt. The coupons in your hands will be turned into waste paper! Everyone will be done together!" The words of "all of the words are precisely calculated by the ticket number and pawn shop, and they dare not let those tickets worth tens of millions of taels be wasted. This is obviously a master who has given guidance from behind.
Faced with such a complete rogue, the pawnshops and tickets that were domineering in the past, they felt like a vulnerable group for the first time. What's worse is that in the later stage of this battle, they were already stretched and had to borrow millions of taels of silver from Beppu. Now that they heard the news, the creditors came to their door and began to pursue the owed silver from them.
All this pressure was uploaded layer by layer, and finally passed to the backyard of Hanshan Temple and fell on the shoulders of Lu Wang, Hai and Peng.
"The four great masters have to think of a solution." The big families who were fooled by them said with a sad face: "All our possessions are suppressed, and we can't just disappear like this,"
"Yes, we didn't want to do it with them at the beginning. It would be great to open the port quickly. Now we have to lose money after losing both the wife and the army. It's really a loss."
"That's right, that Lu Ji didn't say that when the sky fell, he was holding back "Why is there no one now?" He clearly saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away!"
"What else do you say is how powerful the Nine Great Gives are? Why can't even beat a prefect? ​​It's simply because of bragging!" The slaughtering sounds are getting more and more intense, and there is a trend of direction of insulting.
"Enough!" Lu Ding finally couldn't stand it. Lu Ji was his same surname and was introduced to everyone by him. So every word from these people now sounds like he scolds him.
Seeing everyone's dissatisfaction, he said with a look of ugly expression: "Lu Ji, representing the nine masters, worshiping the mountain, everyone is eager to lick the soles of other people's shoes. He didn't like Lord Shen at that time, which is also a public opinion. At that time, I told you that this is a gambling, if you buy, you will win or lose, you will choose Lu, but you can't blame others. Of course, everyone remembers this sentence, and feels a little embarrassed to hear it.
Lu Ding sighed: "Now the situation has reversed, nine major losers, and Lord Shen won. This is the final result! What should be paid attention to now is how to deal with and resolve this crisis. Besides, those sad Huas are meaningless." As he said, he emphasized: "Don't think I'm changing the topic. I will never escape the responsibility I deserve! But the barrier is, how to reduce the losses for everyone, this is not something that can be done by handing over me."
"What else is there to discuss?" After hearing him say this, the prince asked, "The person who tied the bell needs to be untied, only Lord Shen can resolve it."
"Then go and apologize," everyone said, "please forgive me by Lord Shen."
"You go, go, I won't go anyway," Pengxi said with awkward expression: "I have never waited for the fifth-rank officials since I have been in the thirty years of money,"
He retired from the third rank and had a great face. He always visited him by local officials, even when Suzhou Governor Cao Bangfu was in office. Now he is asked to be a fifth rank magistrate, how can he bear the favor of Mr. Peng, who is very proud of his face?"
After he said this, Pan also said: "Indeed, our identity is much higher, and the etiquette of visiting the door is not consistent, so it will only make you laugh. Let the owners of the pawn shops and ticket numbers go, we just have an idea behind the scenes."
Seeing that they were still trying to save face at this time, Lu Ding sneered: "Wake up and wake up, you are senior officials, but you have all retired. Now the people on the stage are the clumsy words! If you are not willing to be strong, but you have the right to show off your skills, what qualifications do you have?"
But his prestige is now greatly reduced. The Hua was brought in by someone's left ear and his right ear, and he didn't even take it to his heart.
After a discussion at the end, I still couldn't get enough of that face. I decided to let the people below negotiate.
The order was sent back to the city, and the shopkeepers and bosses who were just fucking the bills quickly gathered and went to the government office to ask for the Lord of the Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the yamen runners blocked their way at the door and said with a dark face: "This is a major place in the government office, not a market for buying vegetables. Do you want to see us adults? Because these people have committed crimes, the yamen runners have several holidays in succession. The workload is very high, the pressure is high, and the anger is naturally great.
The bosses were tactful and offered a lot of silver, and at least asked him to be kind. They put a heavy bag of silver in their hands. The yamen rang out and said, "The latter, I'll ask you."
Chapter completed!
