Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 105 Court Conference (Two in One)

It's similar to what Liu Dapao thought. In fact, at this moment, more than half of the general soldiers and even guerrillas in the Qing Dynasty are planning to support their own self-respect to varying degrees, and they are more or less starting to buy people's hearts.

After all, there are no fools who can get into a certain position. Even a warrior who is rough on the surface is half a politician when he cuts his bottom. Who believed that Wu Sangui would really put down his military power honestly, put down the foundation of Yunnan that had been in business for more than [-] years, and go back to his hometown in Jinzhou?
To be honest, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty really believed that San Francisco would not rebel, or did not dare to rebel, or even if it really rebelled, there might be only one person who could be destroyed with a backhand, and that was Kangxi himself.

The vast majority of the officials were originally opposed to the withdrawal of Wu Sangui at this time, and the small number of officials who supported the withdrawal of the vassal were almost certainly all sycophants.

The more he leads the soldiers, the more he knows that such an order is ridiculous. Even if Wu Sangui himself agrees, the soldiers under him will definitely not agree. how old are you.

And as long as the world is in chaos and the soldiers in his hands are tightly held, his waist can be strengthened, so Liu Dapao's move can be regarded as a routine operation. Of course, other people will definitely not be as generous as him. If you have no ability, it is worth it Stocks of more than 600 million taels of silver.

So after Kangxi received Hao Duo's rush, it was true that Long Yan was furious.

He was very angry at first, but the behavior of the general soldiers from all over the country to embrace their self-respect made him feel very shameless, and even a little bit scared. Now, this person who was single-handedly promoted by himself was originally a civil servant. How about Liu Xun, who was born in the imperial examination? Here comes this set too!

I thought you were different from those other flirtatious bastards out there.

"How could he be like this, how could he be like this! He has failed me to trust him! He has failed me!"

Seeing this, it was Le Erjin who took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Liu Xun's win over the army is nothing more than a belief that the world war is approaching, even if there are some mercenaries who want to protect themselves, it is actually human nature. "

Hearing the words, Yue Le also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I quite understand what Liu Xun is doing. Right now, the imperial court and the three vassals are all withdrawing, and the entire south of the Yangtze River is like a powder keg that will explode at any time. Liu Xun It’s nothing more than fear that the San Francisco will rebel, and if the San Francisco really rebels, his Chaozhou will bear the brunt.”

Hearing the words, Jieshu also said: "I also think what the two princes said is reasonable. In the land of Chaozhou, Geng Jingzhong is in the north, Shang Kexi is in the south, and Zheng Jing is in the east. I hope that the three families will join forces, and Chaozhou happens to be in the middle, so it is clearly a place where the Four Wars will take place."

"In his hands, there are only [-] troops and [-] sailors, and the navy is newly built. There has always been a gap between the officers and soldiers of the green battalion in the army and the soldiers of Duke Xushun's mansion. He has not been in office for a long time as a civil servant."

Seeing this, Yue Le continued: "Yes, if something unbearable happens in this world, his Chaozhou City will bear the brunt, and these four people will probably beat him. He has a sense of insecurity. It's very normal, I heard that this person has done a good job in sea trade and made a lot of money, but when the war is going on, what is the use of money? Isn't it normal to distribute it to the soldiers to motivate the soldiers?"

Jie Shu continued: "Your Majesty is not aware of military affairs after all, and I think this action does not mean that Liu Xun has disobedience, at most it is just some small thoughts of his own. I think the court should pay attention to it. There is no need to go to war, but it will chill the heart of this loyal minister."

Kangxi was dumbfounded when he saw this.

Jie Shu, Yue Le, and Le Erjin, these three are all princes who support troops and are good at fighting. Back then, Oboi had to be afraid of them three points. He didn't even bother to talk about the ordinary government affairs on weekdays. If you don't come, you won't come, why today...

Could it be that I really made a fuss out of a molehill?
That's right, after all, I don't know much about military affairs. The three uncles are all the princes of our Aixinjueluo family. Even if there is a problem in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, they can't have a problem, and they all lead troops all year round. Definitely know better than me.

This……

"Suoetu, what do you think of this matter?"

Seeing this, Suo'etu snorted coldly and said: "Returning to the emperor, I think what the three princes said is indeed reasonable. The land of Chaozhou is indeed on the cusp of the storm. Liu Xun wants to seize military power, but it may not be the case. It means he has disobedience.

"However, such a major event is not reported, and it is always suspected that it is self-reliant and self-respecting. Besides, he is a Han Chinese anyway. At this critical moment, even if he is not withdrawn because of this, we will take the necessary precautions against him. , you still want it, right?"

"I would like to ask the three princes, how much stock did you buy in West Pacific Company, and you don't hesitate to say good things about Liu Xun in person with your aloof status?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Ever since Wei Dutong returned to Beijing, he brought back something called stocks and sold them everywhere. At the beginning, they only sold 100 taels of silver, but now they are 300 taels of silver. In a few days, it will become 400 taels, 500 taels a piece."

The three of them couldn't help but blush when they heard the words.

Of course, what Suo'etu said was true. Because the three of them had a good relationship with Wei Xiaobao on weekdays, after Wei Xiaobao returned to Beijing, they all bought the shares of West Pacific Company.

Originally, it was just bought for fun.

Who would have thought that the stock would go up so fast!

Although these three people are all surnamed Aixinjueluo and have a detached status, since the death of Obai, Kangxi himself has become more and more powerful, the power of the cabinet has become more and more powerful, and the power of the King's Conference and Zhu Dabeilor has become more and more powerful. The smaller, Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Mi Sihan and other courtiers are increasingly reused, Kangxi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, is more and more like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in terms of various centralization issues.

Especially this time, almost none of the princes, Baylor, and Beizi in the court agreed with the withdrawal of the San Francisco. Almost everyone advocated that it is gratifying to withdraw first, and then withdraw Geng Jingzhong. Wu Sangui might as well keep it first. If you are in your 60s, you may wait a few more years before you die.

That is to say, Kangxi himself insisted on going his own way, but this strategy of going his own way was successfully implemented. This is completely unimaginable among the emperors in front of the Qing court, even including Nurhachi and Huang Taiji.

This move has actually officially marked that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has officially transformed from a regime of half farming, half herding and half slavery into a regime in the Central Plains, and the difference from the previous Tang, Song, Ming and other dynasties has become smaller and smaller.

This is not to say that Kangxi really has much prestige, it is really a rigid need to rule the empire. After entering the Central Plains, he has to act according to the political rules of the Central Plains. The management system has become a purely military system, and the foundation of the King's Conference has begun to shake. Yue Le and others can naturally see the way of it.

It is inevitable for them to hold a certain military power, have a transcendent status, and enjoy boundless wealth, but gradually withdraw from the specific government affairs. It has been offered as a clay bodhisattva.

Under such circumstances, who doesn't want to give more money to future generations? It's only natural that this mind gradually shifts from politics to money.

The stock bought with 100 taels of silver has already risen to 300 taels in a few days, and it seems that it is still rising, as if there is no end, and Liu Zhongtang said that the company will have dividends every quarter. It's the same as the hard-core crops of our Eight Banners.

Hey, if there is such a thing, who the hell would bother to enclose the land!
These princes are all old and rich. Seeing this, they began to study this stock carefully. The more they studied, the more they felt that it was a good thing. In addition, Wei Xiaobao was really good at fooling around. Yes, I can't wait to press my own coffin boards into it.

This is a good thing. You don’t need to seize the fertile land of the people’s homes, and you don’t need to search for the people’s fat. The money will flow down like rain when you lie at home and rest.

So these princes and Baylors almost begged Wei Xiaobao to buy shares with real money, and even directly ordered Liu Dapao to issue another batch of stocks. The stocks purchased by the three are more than [-] lots, and not all of them are their money. Many of them are held by them for their flag soldiers. Recently, they are discussing who to send to be the shareholders of Prince Baylor. The representative is going to stay in Chaozhou Prefecture.

So at this time, Liu Xun must not have any accidents!
This so-called Western Pacific Company was established by Liu Xun. Although he can be replaced in the future, but at this moment, he is undoubtedly the only one who can take on this important task. To get rid of Liu Xun at this time, even if it is another person After taking over Westpac, the price of this stock will definitely drop sharply.

The imperial court forbids them to enclose land again, and the stock price drops again. These princes and Baylors are going to drink the northwest wind!
The principle of stocks is not complicated. It is nothing more than buying and selling confidence.

Of course, this is not to say that they have deviated from their position. How could Aixinjueluo follow Liu Dapao to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty? But before the dust settles, try to help Liu Xun make amends. This is actually just an instinctive reaction. What's more, the reason for seeking compensation is also tenable.

As for what if Liu Xun really turned against him... what does it matter?He only has a few soldiers in his hand, even if he wants to rebel, he must follow the San Francisco to rebel, and if the San Francisco really rebels, does it matter whether Liu Xun rebels or not?
There are five or eight without him forty, not bad.

Even people like Yue Le and the others may be eager for Liu Xun to rebel together. When they lead their troops to break through Chaozhou City, the West Pacific Company's business is so big and they earn so much money, so it will all be theirs. Is it?

So all in all, the reason why the three princes are here to intercede for Liu Dapao is indeed completely out of selfishness.

But it's your fault for Suo'etu to speak out!
Is it you, Hesheli, who have drifted away recently, or do you think we, Aixinjueluo, can't move the knife?
As soon as he said this, he naturally stabbed the hornet's nest directly, and the prince's sons who hadn't planned to express their opinions on this issue also joined in the crusade against Suo'etu.

At first, I also thought that Liu Xun might really have a problem, so when Yue Le and others pleaded for mercy just now, La Bu couldn't sit still, because he also bought the stock of West Pacific Company. Didn't he also describe himself as a treacherous villain who abolished the public for personal reasons?
Immediately stood up and said: "Suo'etu, I understand what you mean, what you mean is that so many princes and princes of Belle and Beizi in Beijing bought the shares of West Pacific Company, and it was Liu Xun who changed his ways." Give us a bribe, don't you? You think it's because we accepted Liu Xun's bribe that we defend him a lot, don't you?"

"It's such a joke! This world belongs to us Aixinjueluo. What is public and what is private? An ignorant and stupid slave who doesn't even understand what a stock is is talking nonsense here. How can Sony A fool like you was born!"

After all, he cupped his hands at Kangxi again and said, "Your Majesty, I have indeed bought the shares of West Pacific Company. Stocks, how could it be a bribe?"

"I think Liu Xun's self-defense is quite reasonable. West Pacific is not Liu Xun's own company, and his personal holdings are not as many as Chen's. How can this be explained? The company is his?"

"Don't mention that there are Hongmao Fanzi in this company. West Pacific Company has many shareholders. Liu Xun established the West Pacific Company because he used the entire Chaozhou Town as a mortgage, and he himself is the general manager of Chaozhou. Give orders as the general manager of the company, and change someone else to be the general manager of Chaozhou, and still be the general manager of this company, so this is clearly a company owned by the imperial court!"

"As for the matter of issuing stocks to the soldiers, Liu Xun himself said that it was passed by the general meeting of shareholders, and there must be Dutch intentions in it. Of course you don't know about Suo'etu. This kind of company is It works like this, it’s a very good means of raising money, and the dividends generated, do you know how much tax can be saved for the court? Hongmaofan and the others all run the company in this way, Qinghe Alliance, Liu Xun learned from Hongmaofan What is the crime of running the company like this?"

Kangxi thought for a while and asked, "Nan Huairen, you are also from the West. Is the custom of your Westerners really the way to run the company?"

"This……"
