Chapter 231: Entrusted with important tasks

After Emperor Tianqi said that, he winked at the lieutenant beside him and said, "Put down and ask Wu Changchun to escort him to write what he wanted to write, and to the outside world... I will say that I will kill him and Amin together."

Li Yongfang was put down, and in just a short while, he was tortured to death.

His legs could no longer stand, so he had to lift him onto the chair.

Wu Changchun came in with a flattering smile and wanted to salute.

Emperor Tianqi ignored him and went out with Zhang Jingyi and two others.

But Wu Changchun obviously doesn't care about this. Isn't the master and the man all like this? He only treats people like him as dogs.

He has long been enlightened to be a dog, who else should he do it?

But he knew in his heart that now, he had to work hard, and only by exerting his strength could he show his value.

He has already spotted it here, this thousand-household office is very strange...

How to say it seems that it is a system of its own. When they encounter problems, they do not seem to report to the higher authorities, which means that Zhang Qianhu is an extremely special person.

In addition, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty came here in person and was so familiar with this place, which shows that... This Thousand Houses Institute is indeed a bit different from other Jinyiwei.

The people here are different from the secret spies, gangsters, and even the lackeys who worked for Jiannu in his imagination.

The people here are very capable in doing things, the rules are very strict, and they are all powerful in Kong Wu, but there is one thing that means they will not be punished.

What these people call punishment is just a slap or a fist. The rough and primitive methods are simply called a factory guard.

But in this regard, Wu Changchun is a man of all kinds, and he is familiar with such despicable means.

Perhaps... he uses all the money for these thousand households.

He knew very well that Qianhu, the surname Zhang, cherished these lieutenants very much and rarely let them do despicable things, but how could no one do such things? Not only did someone do it, but someone with experience also had to do it.

Wu Changchun knew very well that whether he could live depends on what he could pry out from Li Yongfang's mouth.

So, as soon as Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jing went out, Wu Changchun showed a creepy smile to Li Yongfang: "Master Taishan, we are about to start again. Don't be anxious. Let's take the matter slowly. Let's talk about it first, don't worry, you will never harm your life. You have a long life. If you don't live for ten or eight years, how can I be assured as a son-in-law? Besides, I can't explain to Zhang Qianhu, right? So, in the past ten or eight years, your life is on the rise! Let's explain things one by one, not to mention the others, even if my mother-in-law has a few hairs, you have to tell me clearly. Otherwise... hehe..."

All the pain Li Yongfang could feel was squeezed out by Wu Changchun.

He trembled, and all that came to his heart was endless despair.

He knew very well that even if Wu Changchun said that he could live for ten or eight years, he could live for ten or eight years. But only God knows the pain he suffered in these ten or eight years.

What's even more ridiculous is that Wu Changchun is a "talent" he personally trained. He not only admired Wu Changchun very much, but also married his daughter to Wu Changchun. Now, all these teaching methods must be used on him.

"I said, I said everything..." He knew very well that in front of Wu Changchun, all resistance was ineffective. He trembled and said, "The reason why Amin went to Fushun was because of the affairs of the North Korean state. Dajin... No, Jiannu attacked the North Korean state and had conquered Tieshan, Dingzhou, Anju, and Pyongyang, and crossed the Datong River. The King of Korea Li Yu fled to Ganghwa Island. What Amin came to discuss with me was how to surrender King Lee Yu and use military force against Mao Wenlong..."

Wu Changchun nodded with satisfaction and asked someone to write down one by one.

…………

Emperor Tianqi did not go to find Wei Zhongxian and others first, but led Zhang Jingyi around the house.

As he walked, he pondered, and then said, "Thousand Households are doing well. From now on, Thousand Households will build new money, grain and manpower. I will be sure as much as you want. As for money, I will find the fields and glutinous people to ask for it."

"In addition, everything about Jiannu is handled cheaply in Xincheng Qianhu Office, without having to go through the North and South Town Fufu Department. If you have any reports, you can submit them to me secretly."

Zhang Jing said seriously: "I hope that all personnel need to be selected. I also plan to not use the original Tiqi and lieutenant of the Jinyiwei guards, but were trained by the Donglin Military Academy first. I plan to set up a special operation teaching team in the Donglin Military Academy."

"Accurate." Emperor Tianqi said without thinking.

Zhang Jingyi said again: "Deng Jian, deputy household, can temporarily serve as the head of the special operations as the head of the special operations while there is nothing to do now. After all, he has experience and is not only familiar with the affairs of the factory and the security department, but also has gained a lot of experience this time."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I used to hear a lot of "confused" things Deng Jian was like this person. When I saw him today, I found that the rumors were indeed untrue."

Zhang Jingyi said silently in his heart, that's because you don't know how powerful my second brother is.

Emperor Tianqi suddenly said: "You will deal with everything about Li Yongfang. You must record what he has assigned, but you must never show it to others. Of course, I have to find someone to settle the score, but at this time, it is not the time to settle the score for others, and the morale of the army must not be shaken at this time."

Zhang Jing nodded: "I naturally know the power of it."

Emperor Tianqi took his hands behind his back and suddenly thought of something again, and said again: "I plan to send a batch of Liao salary to Liaodong these days. I think it won't take long for the Jiannu people to take revenge. In the border town, the salary will be owed for a long time. If I owe it again, it will be very unfavorable to the court."

Zhang Jingyi said oh and nodded.

Emperor Tianqi stopped and looked at Zhang Jingyi with a strange look: "Oh what, where is my money? When will I pay it back?"

Zhang Jing was about to suffocate. He thought Emperor Tianqi was talking to him about national affairs with all his heart. Why did the style change and become a debt collector?

I have said so much about the relationship, just for this?

Zhang Jingyi said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, the future is long, so don't worry, let's make a long-term plan first."

Emperor Aoki looked at him with bright eyes and suddenly felt something was wrong, although he had always had a bad premonition...

"Tell me the truth, where did this money go?"

"This..." Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not deceive the king and the emperor, so I will tell you the truth."

Emperor Tianqi felt more and more cold and tried his best to say calmly: "You said."

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "But I am afraid that I will say it, and Your Majesty is furious and wants to punish me for being disrespectful."

Emperor Tianqi let out a breath and said, "I am not angry."

Zhang Jingyi said honestly: "I asked someone to bring a large sum of money to Xiangshan County, where there are many foreigners who are entrenched in Folangji. I asked someone to... buy a lot of Dutch stocks at a very low price."

Emperor Apocalypse: “…”

Zhang Jingyi patiently explained to Emperor Tianqi: "There are a large number of barbarians in Xiangshan County, especially the outer islands, including Spanish and Portuguese, Dutch, and even Japanese merchants, and even private merchants of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty... I think it's clear."

Emperor Apocalypse frowned and said, "You are more clear."

"That's how it is..."

Zhang Jing explained at the beginning.

The Dutch East India Company had already encountered operational difficulties. On the one hand, it was because a fleet full of cargo encountered a storm and was silent all of them, which was a heavy loss. On the other hand, the Dutch had monopolized the trade of the Japanese, but this year, due to the incident of the Japanese hijacking the Dutch Governor, a dispute broke out. The Japanese chose to ban the sea and completely cut off trade with the Dutch.

What's even more terrifying is that the Dutch originally coveted the Ming Dynasty's Penghu Sea and Macau in Xiangshan County occupied by the Portuguese. As a result, a year or two ago, in the Battle of Penghu, the Ming navy completely defeated the Dutch fleet.

On the other side, they attacked Macau and were defeated by the Portuguese.

Under this situation, the East India Company, which has been unfavorable for the year, has made the most of the injustice. There have been rumors everywhere that the East India Company has the risk of insolvency.

As soon as the news came out, not only in Europe, but also in Malacca, Ryukyu, and Lusong, even the Japanese merchants who used to buy some East India Company stocks and the private merchants of the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone was crazily selling East India Company stocks.

The stocks of East India Company have shrunk significantly, and even here are shrinking even more severely, because people here are more aware of the difficulties that East India Company has encountered, there is no room for growth, and there is even the risk of profits shrinking.

Under this sale, the East India Company's stock was only 100% or 20% of its original market value. The problem is that everyone was scrambling for it, but now no one is willing to buy it.

"What do you mean is, I, the emperor, go buy stocks from a business company?"

Zhang Jing said excitedly: "It's cheap. I've given a deadly order. I only bought it at the lowest price. I like to sell it but not. But even so, many Japanese merchants, private merchants, Spain, Portugal, and Dutch merchants are selling it wildly. Your Majesty knows that the cost price we acquired is only half of the original market value of this East India Company..."

Emperor Aoki asked: "What exactly is stocks?"

"Your Majesty, this... I'll let you get something to show to your Majesty."

As he said that, he was busy and asked someone to go there.

After a while... I got a large stack of densely packed pieces of writing countless words that I couldn't understand.

Emperor Tianqi was dumbfounded and slowed down for a long time before saying, "My 150,000 taels of silver... did you... buy this?"

"Yes, this is 150,000 taels. Of course, I bought it privately."

Emperor Apocalypse was trembling with the hand holding this stock.
