Chapter 1800 Renzijuan Financial War Feng Ziying has no plans left
When leaving Long Jinwei, Feng Ziyi also said that he would come to visit his house. Feng Ziying naturally welcomed him and asked him to help take care of the Jia family. Feng Ziyi naturally agreed.
Feng Ziying is also happy to see such a "nephew".
He knew very well what the purpose of Feng Ziyi's enthusiasm and enthusiasm was, and he also knew that there were not many good people who had been with Long Jinwei for so many years, but to him, did it matter?
As long as Feng Ziyi can do things and is willing to do things for himself, Feng Ziying doesn't care about the rest. He doesn't have much moral obsessiveness, especially for people like Long Jinwei. It would be a bit ridiculous if we still use traditional good guys and bad guys to distinguish them. .
Now that Feng Ziyi is taking the initiative to move closer to him, he also needs more people to help him in Longjingwei. Be it Zhang Jin or Zhao Wenzhao, after so many years of dealing with him, they already have a certain degree of trust, and Feng Ziyi has a hometown The relationship between people and "relatives" should be able to get closer faster, but there will definitely be some tests, such as caring for the Jia family, which is also considered one.
As for what Feng Ziyi asked for, it was no big deal to Feng Ziying. It didn't matter whether it was Zhang Jin or even Lu Song who was at a higher level. As long as he had the opportunity, he could just say a few words to help.
Feng Ziying actually listened to what Jia's mother said. She should sell the Jia family's assets as soon as possible and sell them at a good price. It is estimated that the court will soften the handling of the Jia family's children. Otherwise, it will be like a noose, always tightening On the Jia family's neck, it could be fatal at any time.
For Jia Mu, the most important thing is to get rid of the constraints on Baoyu, Jia Huan and even Jia Lan's official careers as soon as possible, and this also depends on the attitude of the court.
The sooner this problem is solved, the sooner the Jia family can take a breather, leaving a glimmer of hope for a chance to make a comeback in the future.
It has to be said that Jia Mu still sees this issue very thoroughly, but Feng Ziying also knows that this is only one aspect. If she does not help to promote it, even if Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan are released in the future, there will be a long period of time. They can only live with their tails between their legs, and they can never get rid of their status as relatives of criminals, which also means that they can't expect to have any ideas in other aspects.
Feng Ziying, who returned to the house, reported the situation to Baochai Baoqin, Yingchun and Aunt Xue who had been waiting for a long time. He first reassured them and then told Yuanyang and Ping'er about the situation.
Yuanyang proposed to visit, but Feng Ziying did not agree for the time being. He only said that he needed to wait a while and sort out the interpersonal relationships before bringing other people in.
************
It was already midnight when Jia Yucun returned to his house.
He has been very busy during this period of time.
The establishment of the Nanjing Imperial Court made his identity as the governor of Jinling suddenly become more popular, but at the same time he also knew very well that it would be difficult for him to stay in this position for long unless he handed over a certificate of surrender to the Nanjing Imperial Court.
Jia Yucun knew that there were actually many officials like himself in the entire Jiangnan area who were worried and uneasy, especially those scholars who were originally from the north but were serving as officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Or simply resign and leave.
Jia Yucun does not think it is a good idea to turn to Nanjing now, but if he refuses directly, he will still face difficulties. Therefore, he is still active on the surface, but he avoids some too explicit statements.
“Sir, are you back?” Yan Mingxiang had been waiting in the study for a long time.
Jia Yucun looked gloomy and nodded: "Now I am in the middle of the court, and later I went to the Hubu side for a long time, and then I heard Jia Jing and Tang Binyin quarreling."
“Oh?” Yan Mingxiang asked thoughtfully, “What’s wrong?”
“Block water transport?” Yan Mingxiang didn’t react for a moment, “Wasn’t water transport cut off long ago?”
"It's not about blocking the water transport to the capital, but about blocking the water transport to Shandong." Jia Yucun sighed, "What do you mean by this? Everyone is saying that the one who bribed Chen Jixian did the best job here in Nanjing As soon as the news came out, the secret agent on the capital side who was originally used to deal with Nanbian'er has now become the backing force on Nanjing side. Everyone was overjoyed and felt that there was an extra boost out of thin air. But this Chen Jixian has a big appetite. I just asked for 500,000 taels of silver, saying that it was for the settlement expenses of the soldiers below, and now I asked for 800,000 taels of silver to be used to recruit soldiers, buy ordnance, and also transport grain to Nanjing..."
Yan Mingxiang was startled, "This is too much to eat. There are only tens of thousands of people in Huaiyang Town. Whether we can fight or not, it is really difficult to be stuck in the important place of Xuzhou. Is this guy really defecting to Nanjing?" Here, are they still waiting for a price, or are they even deliberately arranged by the imperial court?"
"Who knows this?" Jia Yucun rubbed his cheek, "Tang Binyin has always regarded conquering Huaiyang Town as a tribute to heaven, so he regards it as his greatest contribution after becoming the chief minister, and cannot allow others to question it, so Jia Jing stabbed him in the waist and cursed at the court. Although Jia Jing softened his attitude, he said that he could not get 800,000 yuan and would give him at most 300,000 yuan, which created a mess..."
Yan Mingxiang also felt a little chilly in his heart.
He had always been very optimistic about the Nanjing court, because in his opinion, as long as the water transportation was cut off, the capital court would not be able to sustain it for long. The capital city would be in chaos if it could not survive even three months, but now one month is almost over. Well, it seems that the capital is very stable.
Especially after Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu captured most of Shandong, it was surprising that they still failed to shake the situation in Gyeonggi.
The intelligence now obtained from all aspects shows that the imperial court did not hesitate to mobilize the elite of the Northwest Army from the three sides and four towns to the east. In addition, it actively mobilized elites from Ji Town and Shanxi Town to form the Northern Front Army. In this way, from one west and one north Although this is just a trend, once a pincer attack is formed, Shandong will be in danger.
Can the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army withstand the attack of more than 100,000 troops? Especially that was in Shandong, not Jiangnan. Without the supply of the canal, Yan Mingxiang did not think that Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu could gain a firm foothold in Shandong.
Of course, the final result will only be clear after a battle. If Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu can defeat the imperial army, then the situation in Shandong can be maintained, but the situation in Gyeonggi may suddenly be reversed. The current situation in Gyeonggi is more based on the people's belief that the imperial court It is beyond the expectation that the army can easily defeat the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army to regain Shandong. Once this expectation is reversed, it will be completely different. No one will go to the dark side.
“What will Nanjing do in the end?” Yan Mingxiang asked again.
"I guess I have to give it. Can Jia Jing be more stubborn than Tang Binyin? If he really offends Chen Jixian and cuts off the supplies in Shandong, Niu Jizong and Sun Shaoxian will still have to fall out. What if it affects the overall situation of Shandong? Aren't you sending support to the imperial court?" Jia Yucun sighed.
“But isn’t it true that the Nanjing Ministry of Finance can’t get out the money?” Yan Mingxiang rubbed his chin, “Jia Jing can’t get out the money.”
"If you can't change it, then you can increase taxes or borrow money from Yangzhou salt merchants and Ningbo maritime merchants. What else can you do?" Jia Yucun sneered.
"Wouldn't that make these salt merchants, maritime merchants and gentry jump away?" Yan Mingxiang said with some hesitation: "The reason why the Jiangnan gentry was dissatisfied with the court at the beginning was because they felt that the court's taxes were too heavy? Now it is the same in Nanjing Repeat, then..."
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe it will be better if we defeat the imperial court. Now, I can only endure it." Jia Yucun smiled. He was from Huzhou, but he came from a poor family. He is not cold to the gentry in his hometown and is well aware of the virtues of the gentry in his hometown.
"Have you never thought of borrowing money from Haitong Silver Village's branches in Jinling, Yangzhou and Suzhou?" Yan Mingxiang also thought of this, "I heard that the imperial court is borrowing money from Haitong Silver Village. Wouldn't Nanjing not think of it? Bar?"
"I must have thought about it, but the head office of Haitong Bank is in the capital. Large amounts of loans have to go through the capital, and the semi-colonies only have a small amount of deposits, and most of them are transferred by bills. Who do you borrow from?" Jia Yucun felt that this might be the imperial court. The key to victory.
The imperial court could continuously borrow money from Haitong Yinzhuang and use taxes as collateral. However, when Nanjing went to Haitong Yinzhuang for a semicolon, the answer was that it was fine for less than 100,000 taels, but for more than 100,000 taels, it was fine. It requires the approval of the Capital Headquarters, but one hundred thousand taels is a drop in the bucket for the huge Nanjing court and is of little significance.
"Currently, Haitong Bank branches such as Nanjing Bank, Yangzhou Bank, and Suzhou Bank are said to have deposits of no more than 80,000 taels, because according to the rules of Haitong Bank, large withdrawals need to be made in advance. For example, 10,000 taels need to be made one day in advance, and three days in advance It takes three days for 10,000 taels, ten days for 50,000 taels, and twenty days to one month for more than 100,000 taels. Therefore, no matter what idea the court wants to make, it is difficult to succeed. Doing such things for one or two hundred thousand taels of silver, You must also consider whether it is a good deal or not. You must know that the largest group of shareholders of Haitong Bank are the royal family members. Even if Prince Yi Zhong ascends the throne in the future, he will not be able to disown these relatives, right?"
Jia Yucun's explanation finally made Yan Mingxiang understand, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "No wonder Haitong Silver Village wants to select royal family members as shareholders, but it has such a wonderful use, and it is a good calculation."
