Chapter 1711 The public is right

"This matter is indeed easy to handle." Shi Congzhi hesitated: "It is profitable, but will the government sit idly?"

"We buy grain based on our own bank and are willing to buy and sell. Why should the government manage it?" Shi Congbin said coldly: "When I say that Hutchison plotted against rebellion and was ill-gotten. Well, we have nothing to do with Hutchison now. Now we use our own money to do business. Who can tell what is wrong? When it comes to collecting grain, the eunuchs and nobles in Beijing are the most collected. Locally, the King of Tang, King Zhou, and King Fu, which one is not trying his best to collect grain?"

In fact, although there are disasters in the north and food is short of food every year, it is basically a bit tight during the period before and after the New Year. If the imperial court releases some grain, prices will be stabilized.

However, this storm was so great that in addition to the emperor not paying much attention to it, and the court itself lacked an effective management mechanism because of the elimination of the eunuch party, the biggest reason was that Hutchison collected grain in a large number of eunuchs and nobles, including royal relatives and vassals from other places, also kept up step by step.

A large amount of grain from the north was divided into batches by these giants, and they could not reach the capital at all. The most canal transportation routes were to Linqing, and the road from Shashi to Kaifeng was the hope that the historians could show all their strength and join many merchants to make the grain from the road on Hutchison.

"It's such a big deal..." In fact, there will be more and more grains, and the stockpiled will still be sold sooner or later. By around May next year, not to mention that the grain in the fields is harvested, the price of grain will naturally drop. Even wild grasses, fruits and other types are enough to fill people's hunger and fullness. Although malnutrition is inevitable, it will be difficult to starve to death by early summer, and grain prices will continue to fall.

But in just about a few months, the food Hutchison intends to stockpile will be quite amazing and huge.

Someone said: "The pressure is not great in the past two months. Everyone is collecting grain. After the Chinese New Year, many nobles and relatives will start to release large amounts of grain. They take advantage of the high price to take advantage of Hutchison. If Hutchison can't stand it at that time, then it will be a big loss."

Shi Congbin said: "Don't worry, the grain price will not fall tomorrow spring, it will only rise. Whoever dares to release it will lose money."

Everyone thought that in addition to business methods, Hutchison also has two killer weapons, including refugees and the army. Although they can't be completely relieved, they can almost make a profit without losing money.

"Since that's the case, just do it." Shi Congzhi's eyes flashed with a little hesitation, but he had already made up his mind. But in the end he said in pain: "If you do this, the people of Henan and Shandong will suffer, and our reputation as a Shi family will be damaged."

"Everyone in the world is like this, which one can you blame?" Shi Congbin gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to blame, you can only blame the court and the government. This account will only be counted on today's people."

Shi Congzhi said in a row: "This is something that can be said here. If anyone dares to say a word, he is not a child of the Shi family."

"We can save it."

Everyone looked pale and they had fully understood the purpose of Huji.

Whether it is eunuchs, nobles, civil and military officials, or gentry and wealthy merchants like the relatives and the Shi family, it is not a matter of harming their deeds when collecting grain and hoarding transactions. The Shi family still has porridge sheds to provide free food for those who are about to starve to death. Many gentry families will open porridge sheds, and those who are about to starve to death come to their doors to ask for stuttering. No matter what, they cannot push people out with an empty stomach.

This is kindness. No matter whether it is true or false, you have to do it. Otherwise, everyone will have to stab their backbone and they will not be able to establish a archway for Ren Shan Jiqing at their doorstep.

But when you are doing business, you use real money to buy grain and hoard it to sell it at a high price, no one can find out the problem of this.

Those who really want to starve to death will rebel if they are unwilling to do so and can escape the famine even if they have no choice. However, the whole north is in chaos and hungry people are everywhere. Whose fault is this?

Why did Emperor Wanli suffer from disasters for years during his time, but never reach this point?

Why did everyone live a life while Emperor Aoki was there?

The emperor today is a child with no hair on his lips. The world is in chaos and the country is in trouble. It is because he wants to eradicate the peacekeeping mission, which has harmed the entire northern business. The carriages and horses are blocked, prices are rising, and the chaos is all from the time the emperor ordered the attack on Xinpingbao.

Zhang Han has developed hope.

Now no one questioned Zhang Han or criticized him for having ambitious and unfaithful ambitions. With such strong strength, he should have different ambitions, but it would be strange if he had no different ambitions!

Zhang Han's experience, pattern, family background, and development experience have become legends in all aspects. Many people even feel that Zhang Han is the previous generation today. The emperor is too young. Zhang Han has been famous for many years and has achieved success. To be honest, many people feel that Zhang Han is more capable than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the emperor is still in the position of the central central government. Zhang Han was almost surrounded and killed. People know that this person has the right to attack the Ming Dynasty. He has temporarily endured Hutchison, but someone is quite disappointed.

Hutchison now has movement, which makes people cheer up. Although it is not a large army heading south, the knowledgeable people know very well that it is possible to take half of the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

"I'm afraid of money..." Shi Congzhi said again at last, but he shook his head again. No matter how He Ji started his business, the adult started his business with a business business and accumulated a net worth of more than tens of millions. How can he compare with others with his own little tricks? The third brother in the family used to go to business with a lack of prospects, but now he has become the backbone of the family. After this incident, the third brother's identity will definitely rise. Many clever ghosts in the family will depend on the third brother. However, Shi Congzhi is not worried. The third brother is concerned about family affairs, and his status as the leader will not be threatened.

"Brother," as everyone dispersed, Shi Congbin bowed to Shi Congzhi and said, "I have only left fifty taels for my nephew. He has also gone to the guild hall to live. I quickly asked him to go back to my mansion and find a way to bring him a few hundred taels of silver. The capital will be very difficult in the next few months. Don't ask my nephew to suffer there."

"It's good to suffer a little." Shi Congzhi smiled and said, "Let's follow Hutchison here. He came back and was busy and had a lot of verbal talk."

"So, Xianzhi is so fucking with his third uncle."

"Do they have a disgrace to Hutchison?"

A brother of a clan changed his expression and suddenly raised a more difficult question.

Zhang Hanyang hoped that he had already achieved success, but it was mainly in the northern literati and official groups, especially in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, and in Henan and Shandong, it was mainly in connection with interests. The real relationship was still in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places.

The key to this is that Zhang Han was born in the northern literati family. The Zhang family in Puzhou has been developed for more than a hundred years and has close relationships and friendships with many gentry families in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

During the Jiajing period, the Shanxi Gang was a major gang of this dynasty. The Jin Party overwhelmed the heroes of the northern region and defeated the Jiangnan Party members step by step. When the Jin Party planned to push Zhang Siwei to the prime minister of the cabinet, the other parties in the court were obviously no longer opponents.

But Zhang Siwei's sudden death was simply inferior to that of the heavenly concluding. Later, Jiangnan's lineage emerged, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Shen Yiguan, Ye Xianggao Fangcongzhe, and Zhou Dao passed away to Han and became the foundation. Jiangnan's lineage was not divided into the Donglin of the Zhejiang Party, which was probably the same. Later, Jiangnan people split into the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin. The Zhejiang Party and the Qi Party and the Chu Party joined forces and had to surrender to the eunuchs before they could cross the Donglin.

Therefore, the Donglin Party members are probably the existence of a giant in people's hearts. Especially after ascending the throne today, the process of eliminating the eunuch party and re-engaging the Donglin Party members has begun. Many Donglin Party members are already in the process of resuming the process. It is expected that the Donglin Party members will reoccupy the court again from next year to the next year, and the so-called "all the righteous are in full dynasty" situation will appear again.

But in fact, Shi Congqi is too much of a concern!

In the two years from the fourth to sixth year of the Tianqi period, Wei Zhongxian had caused too much harm to the Donglin Party. The old officials on the front line, such as Ye Xianggao, Han Dong, Liu Yijing and others, retired, and the Donglin Party lost its top-level strength.

Then the Middle Zodiac was squeezed out or simply destroyed by physical destruction, and the Donglin Party lost a whole generation of successors.

Only for the lower class, because the Donglin Party started its business in Jiangnan, where the literary style is prosperous, there are quite a few children from all major families who are still in the lower class. Moreover, they have a strong literary reputation, many articles, and widely circulated, which gives people the illusion that the Donglin Party was still in its dominance before the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and it still has a great impact on the national fortune and government affairs.

This is of course an illusion, a complete illusion.

Except for the first year of Chongzhen to the second year, the Donglin Party members such as Han Yu, Zhou Daoden and Cheng Jiming were successively used as the chief assistants, the other eight Donglin Party ministers were just marginal figures among the cabinet ministers. For example, Sun Chengzong who was pulled out to put out the fire, and the Liao incident was a relief, Chongzhen asked Lao Sun to go home to continue to retire.

He Ruchong, Qian Longxi and others were in the cabinet for less than a year.

There are also Donglin Pavilion officials such as Zhou Daodeng, who has only been in the cabinet for five months and has not even had half a year.

With such rotation and replacing people back and forth, the Donglin Party has not formed a stable force in the cabinet. It is not known how far behind the situation where Ye Xianggao was the chief assistant and Han Dong was the secondary assistant.

For middle-level officials, since the cabinet was dominated by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, officials like Qian Qianyi were jointly prevented by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, and they had no chance to become a minister and had no way to enter the cabinet. The future was completely suppressed. The leader of Ci Lin and the boss of Donglin were suppressed in the countryside for more than ten years. If the Donglin Party had Zhao and Nan Xing's strength at that time, how could he sit down and watch his own people be suppressed for so long?

During the prosperity of the Donglin Party, the cabinet, the Censorate, the Six Ministry, the local governor, and the so-called three generations of old, middle-aged and young were very successful. From high positions in power to middle-aged and younger generations to lower-level rookies, one layer after another, there were big bosses in power, Zuo Guangdou, who dared to fight and fight, and a large number of new Jinshis from Jiangnan and were born in the reserve army of the Donglin Party.

After several years of setbacks, the Donglin Party has not recovered. Among the auxiliary ministers and many ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Donglin Party has never seized the favorable terrain and was suppressed by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru was the chief minister for five years and Wen Tiren for four years. Both of them were not from the Donglin Party. Of course, they would appoint their own people and suppress the people from other parties. The Donglin Party did not have a good life in the center.

Only when the Donglin juniors and juniors in Jiangnan were born, and their family was unique, could they write. No matter how prosperous civilization was, they would always be outsiders if they could enter the officialdom. All the four young masters named among the Donglin juniors did not become Jinshi during the Chongzhen period. What is the significance of such a false reputation?

Therefore, Donglin in the Chongzhen Dynasty only played a role in the Jiangnan area, which also killed Nan Ming. This was the blame for Donglin and they had to bear it firmly on themselves.

However, in the eyes of Shi Congzhi and others, the Donglin Party is indeed a huge monster that cannot be defended. His family Shi Kefa climbed to Zuo Guangdou as a disciple, and his status was completely different from that of ordinary juren. The historians Shi Kefa recognized Zuo Guangdou as his teacher. In addition to the legacy of his ancestors, of course he also wanted to ask Shi Kefa to go further in the officialdom.

If Donglin stood on the side of the Ming Dynasty in the process of fighting for the world between Hutchison and Daming, even if Hutchison's force is strong, the Donglin Party members would not give up.

A Shi family member said disapprovingly: "Donglin is indeed strong, but can he compare with Hutchison's army no matter how he is?"

Shi Congzhi shook his head and said, "Otherwise, there will always be some obstacles."

Shi Congbin smiled mysteriously and said, "Because of Songjiang Bu's affairs, Hutchison and Donglin have had some aggression. The price of cloth has risen this time. Songjiang Bu wants to rush back, but of course it is blocked. Hutchison has no discussion on this matter, but he has already negotiated with Donglin. Hutchison gave up some of the export and share to Songjiang. The big families there can sit at home and count the silver, which is considered a benefit. In addition, Hutchison is said to have planned to take people from Jiangnan to do it together. In short, it will take at least three months. Hutchison's family may not be able to hold on. The best way is to have money and eat meat with Hutchison's people. Those who want to do their own things will have to eat."

"Good, great kindness." Shi Congzhi's eyes were bright and bright, and he lit up a strange light. He slapped his high-high and praised: "I have heard that Zhang Dongzhu is like this in his work. He never eats it and always gives everyone a chance to grow. In the future and remember the world, Zhang Dongzhu became the lord of the world. We and ordinary people are afraid that they will all enjoy happiness."

Just now, everyone was full of doubts about the full reversal of Huji, but after Zhang Han gave up some of the benefits, Shi Congzhi and others were already full of joy, and they wanted to support Zhang Han as the emperor immediately.

Shi Congbin sighed in his heart that this kind of business method and skillful use of every bit of power is really a craftsmanship of political and commercial means. Hutchison is simply launching a war without gunpowder. It is ridiculous that the one in the capital palace is still dreaming of reviving the Ming Dynasty.

"I won't talk much." Shi Congzhi said with murderous intent: "In addition to the money in the public, each company can take out as much as it can. Now, the number will be determined. It will not be added at that time."

Someone suddenly said, "I can't settle now, I have to go back and discuss with the one at home."

Everyone laughed. Everyone knew that it was fake to discuss with their wife, and it was real to find a way to raise money. This time, Hutchison took the lead in consuming food. Everyone had no doubts about Hutchison's credibility and ability.
