Chapter 18 Don't give up, don't give up
The next day, Chongzhen was organizing three princes and several eunuchs to play football on the field that was created - Cuju. The goal was a carpentry work he did, and the ball was a ready-made Cuju football. Chongzhen was naturally the referee, but Chongzhen asked Cuju to play according to the rules of later generations. A group of people played the five-man football in the rules of later generations in a similar manner. Cuju became a trend in the Ming Dynasty. Don’t believe it. Concubine Tian, the most beloved concubine, was a "star".
The men were at the age of playing, and they were yelling at the ball, but they were not adapted to the football rules set by Chongzhen, and they were offside at any time and were always blown against the rules. Chongzhen saw that the whistle could not be too strict. Originally, it was just to ask the princes to strengthen their physical training, so they could release the water when they should, and sometimes they even blew a "black whistle". After a long time, they were not a referee, but now they were self-proclaimed referees, and they were not even considered the last referee in the future, but they also enjoyed it.
Before the ball was finished, the princess came over again in a sedan chair, and Chongzhen had to announce that the game was over.
When there were only Chongzhen and the princess, the princess knelt down seriously. Chongzhen quickly pulled up and said, "Oh! Princess, please get up quickly! You are so hurt that you still kneel down! Don't in the future!"
Chongzhen helped the princess sit down and said, "Are you really going to be a monk and a nun? Let's get out in this way?"
The princess shook her head and said in a calm and firm tone:
"Father, I've decided. I'm going to stay in Beijing and never go anywhere. You can listen to me first."
Chongzhen was shocked when he heard that she was going to stay in Beijing and was about to persuade him that since the princess did not allow her to interrupt, she had to listen to her finish what the princess thought.
"Father, I thought about it carefully last night. Whether it is pretending to be crazy or stupid or saying that I want to become a monk or a nun, I don't think Li Zicheng will let me go. In history, Princess Changping asked to become a monk or a nun, but the Qing Dynasty was not accurate. Now at this time, Li Zi has become the successful holding of the abdication ceremony and will never let his father's relatives leave. Now the city defense is so strict that even a fly cannot fly out of Beijing. Not to mention that I can't do it myself and don't want to act crazy or a nun, and it is definitely not what I want to be."
"Father, have you ever thought about it? What should the three princes do after you leave? Their minds are not mature and the environment is so severe. What will happen to them? Have you ever considered it? Did they become "abandoned sons" like this? Yes, Li Zicheng may not kill them. The father handed over the princes to Li Zicheng. After his father returns to Nanjing, he can agree with Li Zicheng to the United Front of the Anti-Qing Alliance. In this way, Li Zicheng will not even give his protons.
How is it, it is even very likely that it is very generous. However, the princes do need someone to take care of them and guide them. This person who cares about them can be me. With my close relationship with them, my experience of living almost thirty years old in the future and my experience of more than 300 years of experience, I can only be the best candidate for taking care of and guiding them. For a woman like me with a disabled left arm, Li Zicheng doesn't have to be too embarrassed with me. So I have the conditions to take care of them."
Chongzhen looked at the princess who had Dr. Chen's consciousness and felt a sense of admiration in his heart.
"Father, if I don't leave Beijing, I may be able to do some work within my ability, such as intelligence, and economics. With you and Wang Chengen in Nanjing in politics and military, it can be said that politics and military are not a problem. When I stay in Beijing, I can fully utilize the insights of later generations and my ability to study interdisciplinary to engage in economic and intelligence war behind enemy lines. Don't worry, I will not ignore the consequences and will not act irritatedly. I will restrain my edge, pay attention to strategies, and will not disclose our secrets. I think I cannot give up my job behind enemy lines, and I am undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates for work behind enemy lines."
Speaking of this, the princess smiled and said resolutely:
"Father, for the above reasons, I decided to stay. I will not change this decision. I will stay, one is to take care of the princes, and the other is to carry out economic and intelligence wars behind enemy lines. Don't abandon the prince, don't give up behind enemy lines. Don't abandon, don't give up! Please understand me and support me! What I can do."
When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes were damp. He was disabled and strong in ambition! What a good child! Of course, it was not easy to run out of Beijing! With Li Zicheng's current attitude, as long as Chongzhen left Beijing, make arrangements so that Li Zicheng understood the importance of uniting against the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the relevant agreements, there were protons in Beijing. Li Zicheng weighed the pros and cons, he might really be generous to the pros and cons. But Chongzhen was ashamed, and he didn't expect "not abandon, not give up" and now he wanted a girl with a disabled left arm to take responsibility!
It was also the next day that Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to bring a handwritten letter to Song Xiance's office. It was said that it was a handwritten letter, but it was better to say a note, simple, just two lines:
Lord Song Junjian! I heard that the recovery of stolen money has affected Zhou Guohou. If this is true, I hope I will explain it!
Song Xiance read the note and was quite embarrassed. He reported to the King of Chuang. The King of Chuang also explained clearly, but Liu Zongmin finally ignored Li Zicheng's order and even touched Zhou Guobain. This was really a pity for Li Zicheng, to destroy Dashun, and to Song Xiance. He had promised him in person with Chongzhen, but now he really didn't know how to explain to Chongzhen. If Chongzhen really refused to forgive this matter and even attacked the abdication, then he might have to be wronged. Anyway, Li Zicheng would not do anything to Liu Zongmin. He now had a little embarrassed face and explained:
"Eunuch Wang, I blame me for this matter. I first expressed my opinion that Emperor Chongzhen would not affect Zhou Guohou, but did not report this matter to the King of Chuang in time, which caused this incident to happen, which was a bit misunderstanding. I will report the King of Chuang now, and it will be better to see how to solve it."
When Wang Chengen saw that Song Xiance took everything on his head, he thought that Song Xiance was really caring about Li Zicheng's face. However, this was not a difficult situation for Song Xiance. Chongzhen's note was just a stepping stone. He said:
"Mr. Song doesn't have to blame himself. I think this matter is not wrong, but it is not the fault of Master Song. Besides, there is no way to remedy it."
When Song Xiance heard this, he wanted Dashun to return the money to Zhou Guohou. This matter was not the final word. I am afraid that King Chuang would not be afraid of Liu Zongmin's bad temper. He thought he had to ask what Wang Chengen had to solve it. If he proposed to refund the money, he had to bite the bullet and report King Chuang to make a decision.
Seeing Song Xiance's embarrassed look, Wang Chengen knew it was time to throw out his remarks.
"Mr. Song, I also know the difficulties of Lord Song. Since it is to recover the stolen money and help the money, it is obviously inappropriate to return it. Refunding Zhou Guomao's money will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other people who have not been able to refund the money. At present, there are rumors. If you only refund the Zhou family's money, all kinds of rumors may be more prosperous. Therefore, I think that even if you chase the wrong one, you can't get rid of the money. But given this regard, I think it's better not to ignore the face of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, so as not to cause trouble. I have a suggestion below, which may solve this problem and kill more than one kill. But it's a bit complicated to operate. I wonder if Lord Song can listen to the suggestions below?"
When Song Xiance heard that Wang Chengen had a solution, he thought that Wang Chengen's idea had always worked, and this time it must be the same, so he bowed and said:
"Please give me advice!"
"I think that the money of the Zhou family should not have been pursued. Since it is pursued, it cannot be withdrawn. The reason why it should not be pursued is because Lord Song agreed to the Ming Dynasty when he agreed to the Ming Dynasty, the solution to this problem should be based on the Ming Dynasty. If we want to think of a complete plan, the first step is to give the money to the Ming Dynasty in a certain name, and then give the money to the Zhou Dynasty through the Ming Dynasty in a way that does not make others suspicious. This first step is easy to deal with. You can give money to the Ming Dynasty if you find a reason, but if the Ming Dynasty gives the money to the Zhou Dynasty, it is no different from refunding the money. It is reported that it is not good to both public opinion and Dashun. Therefore, I dare to come up with a plan. If this strategy is used, the whole link will be seamless and there are many benefits."
Speaking of this, Wang Chengen took a sip of tea as usual. Seeing that Song Xiance was anxious, he continued:
"If you want to say this policy, it also originated from the creation of the barbarians. After the barbarians issue public bonds, the barbarians can be traded publicly on special government bond exchanges. This is mainly to facilitate the holders of government bonds to turn the barbarian bonds into cash at any time. Because a businessman who may hold government bonds suddenly has a business that requires large amounts of funds, and the money is all on government bonds, so he wants to use the barbarian bonds to raise money, and some merchants just receive large amounts of money for a while. One is eager to sell the barbarian bonds to raise money, and the other is
If you want to buy a government bond, you can make profits for a long time. You can agree to transfer the government bonds at a price. It is precisely because there are people and many people who want to buy and sell government bonds, that a government bond exchange came into being. This exchange not only facilitates buying and selling government bonds, but also collects transaction fees and taxes in the future, so it is a move that benefits the country and the people. For example, I heard below that many people borrowed usury because of the recovery of stolen money and pay, and urgently needed money to repay the debt. If part of the government bonds can be sold for repayment, then these people are in a position to
I must be grateful to Dashun. For example, if I have two spare money left, there are two or three thousand taels left. I am full of confidence in Dashun. Anyway, I am idle, so I want to buy the three thousand taels of spare money into "Pingliao Public Debt". If I have a public bond exchange, wouldn't this wish be realized simply? After having this exchange, I will talk to Zhou Guozhang that if he borrowed usury, he might as well sell part of the public debt on the exchange and persuade the Ming Emperor to use Dashun.
The money that Shun gave was bought by the exchange for the part of Zhou Guohou’s bonds, and then the government bonds were divided into points. Lord Song, look, in this way, buying and selling without any trace, the matter of Zhou Guohou was fulfilled. In this way, Dashun paid back a favor from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and handled Zhou Guohou’s affairs without any trace. In addition, he also set up a public debt exchange that could collect taxes in the future, and solved the problem of those who recovered stolen money and helped those who borrowed usury. It was a killing of multiple goals. What did Lord Song think?"
When Song Xiance heard this method, he didn't have to return the silver from Zhou Guomao. That was 400,000 taels of silver! According to Wang Chengen's words, as long as he considered reimbursement of the "Pingliamentary Debt", he could settle the matter. At most, it would be 160,000 taels of silver. Well, 200,000 taels of silver is also a small matter for the current Dashun! He reported this method with the King of Chuang to spend 200,000 taels of silver. No, it should have been that he had to return 400,000 taels, but now he only needs to give Chongzhen 200,000 taels of silver as a favor, which solved the problem: He gave favors and had face, and Liu Zongmin had nothing to say, and even set up an exchange, which could alleviate the problem of those who were forced to borrow usury when recovering stolen money and helping money. Wow! This prince is really a genius! The barbarian's head is really "unbelievable"! Thinking for a while, then he smiled:
"Eunuch Wang is such a talented person, I admire him! But how this public bond exchange operates, Eunuch Wang has to draft a charter on his behalf."
"Mr. Song is polite! As long as you can work hard, you dare not obey your orders! In fact, you only need to find an official in charge of money and grain from the Ministry of Revenue, and tell him how to draw up a few regulations, such as how to bid, how to complete the transaction, how to issue certificates, and a few simple ones, and you can start a public bond exchange." Wang Chengen suddenly remembered that later records that the Ministry of Revenue had a minister named Huang Chenghao, who had some explanations about taxes in the Ming Dynasty. It seemed that Huang Chenghao was also proficient in medicine and should be a talented person. You might as well recommend it. I don't know what it would be like to hype Chinese medicinal materials to hype bonds! He said: "There was an official in the Ministry of Revenue named Huang Chenghao in the Ming Dynasty. He was very proficient in logistic calculations. According to his opinion, you might as well find this person, maybe you can preside over the opening of this public bond exchange."
Song Xiance thought, fortunately, Eunuch Wang is a eunuch, otherwise with this ability, he would not climb onto my head! However, this "recovering stolen money and helping money will not affect Zhou Guozhang" turned out to be the one who praised him and Chongzhen, and he had no choice but to wipe his butt clean himself. Now there are no other tricks except Wang Chengen. Besides, after the exchange was handled, the group of loan sharks did have a way out, which is of great benefit to resolve the current situation of rumors flying everywhere. So let's report to the King of Chuang to the truth!
Li Zicheng naturally refused such a constructive plan. Generally speaking, the "Taizu" generation has super execution ability, and Li Zicheng performed particularly well. Let's take a look at the skills of the King of Chuang - to tell Prime Minister Niu: Didn't we find 170,000 taels of silver in Chongzhen Palace last time? We won't keep it for him. It's better to return it to him for his own custody! Also, Chongzhen wrote an inscription for the "Ta Kung Pao". The money for this pen is not stingy. Make a whole number, 10,000 taels of silver, and it's settled. The government bond exchange sent someone to find Huang Chenghao and get it done immediately and will open tomorrow!
I gave me a wooden peach and a Qiong Yao. For Li Zicheng's generosity, Chongzhen gave me a reward. In addition to the "Ta Kung Pao" with a large stroke of the poem, he also wrote a picture of it in pleasure, asking Wang Chengen to send it to Jin Zhijun's "Ta Kung Pao" to compensate for the regret of not issuing the "Letter to Wu Sangui".
When Jin Zhijun opened it and saw six powerful words written on it:
Don't give up
There are small cursive characters on the inscription:
Never abandon the Han compatriots under the Qing Dynasty! Never abandon the Mongolian compatriots who were bewitched by the Qing Dynasty! Never abandon the Korean brothers who were enslaved by the Qing Dynasty!
Never give up the fight against the Qing Tartars to death! Never give up every inch of land occupied by the Qing Dynasty!
Zhu Youjian and Li Zicheng and the world are encouraged together
