    Chapter 2754 Capital (one hundred and seven)

    "The only solution now is to endure it for a while and promote peace." Mr. Le said this with a sense of sadness.

    "Negotiating peace" Qian Taichong thought that the emperor did express this intention when he summoned him during the day, but then thought about the documents he had read recently, he shook his head and said, "The imperial court recently discussed the collection of Guangdong pay in preparation for the suppression of Kun.  . Now that the matter has come to this, how can we talk about peace? Moreover, the thieves have always been ambitious and greedy. They regard the imperial court as a enemy. When students were in high school, whenever they mentioned the Ming Dynasty, they were either 'pseudo' or 'usurpation', which means they claim to be orthodox  ¡­¡±

    "Otherwise, it's not." Zhou Lezhi immediately gave a detailed account of the current internal disputes within the Senate regarding the southward and northward movement; the sudden increase in governance costs after occupying Guangdong and Guangxi and the pressure on finances.

    The more Qian Taichong listened, the more surprised he became. He was among the best scholars in the Ming Dynasty who could be called "Zhikun".  Not only did he fight against the Kun thieves, he also served as a prisoner there, received training, and did paperwork.  When I was released, I got an invitation to stay.  If he hadn't been unwilling to "be a thief", he would have been a "pseudo-kun" by now, and maybe he would have been a "cadre" in a county in Guangdong and Guangxi.

    When it comes to his understanding of the Kun Thief system, internal conditions, and personnel, he believes that no other person in the Ming Dynasty can know it so thoroughly.

    Unexpectedly, after a conversation with Mr. Le, I realized that my little knowledge was like water dripping into the ocean.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for the "court" that truly understands the thief of Kun, and knows the "wisdom of the elders" of the thief, is Mr. Le in front of me!

    He was surprised and said: "Sir, you are a great talent! He knows so much about the Kun thief"

    He suddenly realized that when the eloquent young man in front of him talked about the thief Kun, he had quite a bit of the temperament of the real kun and the fake kun he had seen in Lingao. Could it be that he was

    Mr. Le seemed to know what he was thinking, and sighed: "I wish I could!"

    "Why did you say this, sir?"

    "If I were a thief, I would try to persuade the elders to be friendly with the Ming Dynasty. We are both from the Chinese lineage, so why attack each other! Not only wasting money, food and human lives in vain, but also taking advantage of the barbarians!" After saying this, I felt a little excited.

    Qian Taichong said: "Sir, what you said is absolutely true. It's just that even if the thieves are willing to negotiate for peace for a while, I'm afraid they will turn against each other and be ruthless in the future"

    Mr. Le sighed: "The current situation is dragging on for a while. Besides, the thief is a human being, and the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty are also human beings. He can build cannons, fireships, and ships, but we can't?"

    "But none of us understand this. When the students were in high school, all the mechanical equipment was made by the real Kun, and the fake Kun was taught how to use it. The fake Kun would only do things according to the rules. We don't know the reason why. Important equipment is absolutely useless.  Don¡¯t use fake hands or fake knuckles.¡±

    "We don't understand, just let the thief Kun teach us." Zhou Lezhi said, "Teach Kun the skills to fight against the Kun."

    Qian Taichong only thought that Mr. Le was out of his mind and said: "Kun Thief and the Ming Dynasty are enemies. Even if the two sides can negotiate a peace, how can Kun Thief come to teach?"

    "Haha, sir, you don't know something. The thief is a businessman who governs the country, and he has the most greedy nature. As long as there is money to be made, how can he not make it?" Zhou Lezhi smiled disdainfully, "Sir, you probably know that over the years, various towns have purchased more of the so-called Nanyang  Gun?"

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard a little bit about it, and I heard it¡¯s the gun of the thief Kun.¡±

    "That's right. When the two countries are at war, they are still selling such murderous weapons. How is it different from teaching swords to people?" Zhou Lezhi sneered, "Not to mention the Kun thief, it is the Ming Dynasty. The merchants of Shanxi House are selling all the walls around the tiger's mouth.  Trade, which is said to be with the Mongols, is actually trading with the Tatars. Most of the ironware and food for the slaves were sold within the customs!"

    "This happened!" Qian Taichong was excited. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. "Does the court not care about it?"

    "The imperial court naturally wants to take care of it, but it's just a profit of ten times. As long as it is done, how can it be willing to let it go? Since ancient times, there is a saying that no one does the business of losing money, but the business of beheading is done. Not to mention the ten times or twenty times the profit.  Benefit!"

    Qian Taichong was stunned.  In these years, he has been tossing around Zheng Sen, and he has indeed not paid attention to the overall situation of the country. He did not expect that he has become so corrupt!

    "Mr. Qian, you have stayed in Zhangzhou Bay for too long. Don't you understand the situation outside at all?" Zhou Lezhi said slowly, "The situation in the imperial court is extremely dangerous! Defeating Kun is a quick death; negotiating peace can still save a breath.  , learn from Kun to learn skills to strengthen yourself, slowly figure it out, maybe there is still hope!"

    Qian Taichong was excited and praised loudly: "What a 'teacher who learns skills to strengthen himself'! Sir, one word is worth ten years of reading poetry and books!"

    "Excellent. In fact, this is not my opinion alone. Guangzhou Yuyuan Society has the largest collection of Kun's books and a lot of knowledge about Kun. However, after the fall of Guangdong and Guangxi, the members of the society were scattered, so these collections may not be preserved"Qian Taichong hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard that the president of Yuyuan Society is Mr. Liang Cunhou?"

    "Oh, you know him?"

    "I know a little bit about it." Qian Taichong concealed it a little, but in fact Liang Cunhou sent someone to contact him, intending to win over the remaining forces of the Zheng family, and he even went to Guangzhou to discuss it.  It was only when Liang Cunhou later discovered that the Zheng Group was falling apart that the intention of forming an alliance could not be realized.

    "Master Liang is extremely loyal to the imperial court! It's a pity that he is trapped in Guangzhou, between tigers and wolves. I'm afraid he can't protect himself." Zhou Lezhi sighed.

    "What a pity, the Liang family is a prominent family in Guangdong"

    "Even if he is from a distinguished family, it probably won't be of much use at this moment. I'm just worried" Zhou Lezhi frowned, "He couldn't help it, and his life was wasted!"

    Speaking of this, the two of them sat at each other and sighed.  After a while, Qian Taichong laughed and said: "You and I are working hard for the court to conquer China, so why do we sigh about the new pavilion?"

    "Sir, you are right!" Zhou Lezhi said with a smile, "In the future, I will ask you for your help when handling the affairs."

    "I am happy, but young master"

    "Sir, if you only focus on this small Zhangzhou Bay, even if the emperor is willing to help you, the Zheng family will not be able to go back to the past."

    Qian Taichong was speechless, and after a while he said, "Student, I just want to have a clear conscience."

    Zhou Lezhi smiled: "I thought that if you want to revive the Zheng family, you have to start with this 'kun affairs'."

    Qian Taichong was taken aback, thought about it again, and said with a smile: "Sir, you don't know something now. If we talk about dealing with the Kun thief, Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and the others have already started doing it."

    Although the Kun thieves blocked the Zheng family¡¯s overseas trade channels, they did not cut off the Zheng family¡¯s trade.  Therefore, the various factions of the fragmented Zheng Group turned into product suppliers on the spot.  Sell ??a variety of Fujian products to "kun merchants" who come to Zhangzhou for trade.

    ¡°Although they have all kinds of brand names, but if you think about it with your heels, you know that most of them are the property of the thieves, or else, they are businesses supported by the thieves.¡±

    These merchants came to various parts of Zhangzhou Bay to purchase raw materials and dumped various "goods" and salt that was in short supply in Fujian.  Business is doing very well.

    "Anping is the poorest place. When the bandits broke into the city and dug up everything in Anping, nothing was left. It took a lot of money to rebuild the mansion and the city walls. As for the Zheng family's trade routes and shops, there are few  The master has nothing to do with it. Now I can only live off the rent collected from several thousand acres of land from several farms! Even these thousands of acres of land cannot escape their covetousness!" Qian Taichong sighed, "If it weren't for this,  I won¡¯t rush to Beijing to find a way out!¡±

    "Does the thief Kun have any business dealings with you?"

    "Of course there is something to be gained. It's just that the only catch here is rice, and I can't sell it at a high price."

    "Why not plant sugar cane?"

    "Growing sugar cane?" Qian Taichong was stunned. He really hadn't thought about it.  Firstly, he is not from Fujian, and secondly, he is very unfamiliar with farming.  There is still a "food-based" concept to some extent, "I have never thought about it. However, the farm has always grown sugar cane. If I switch to other crops, I am afraid that the tenants will not know how to do it."

    "Sugar cane is grown everywhere in Fujian now. If you want to switch to sugar cane, it's not difficult to do so." Zhou Lezhi said, "There are two biggest businesses for Kun Thief." He raised a finger, "Silk." Then he raised it again.  Pointed to the second finger, "Sugar."

    He said slowly: "As long as you have sugar cane, you don't have to worry about selling it. And you can run your own sugar factory, turn the sugar cane into sugar and sell it to the thieves. You can also make a lot of money."

    Growing sugar cane?  Make candy?  Qian Taichong thought for a moment and said, "Sir, your idea is a great one. It's just that running a sugar factory to boil sugar is more difficult than growing sugar cane. Where can I find such manpower"

    "Of course I'm going to ask Kun thief for advice."

    Qian Taichong was stunned, and after a while he said: "Sir, don't be joking! Although the student has business dealings with the Kun thieves, this sugar is the capital of his fortune. How can he teach the art of sugar making to us? Buy sugar cane at a low price.  Wouldn¡¯t you make more money by making sugar and selling it at a high price?¡±

    "Haha, this means that you only know one thing, but don't know the other." Zhou Lezhi said with a smile, "Opening a sugar factory to make sugar requires workers, sites, buildings, and warehousesthe sugar hasn't been made yet, you open the door seven  The thing is that money is needed everywhere. This sugar factory has a huge investment, but it can only be started for less than half a year. In contrast, if you buy your sugar directly and sell it to Westerners and Asians, you will also have less processing expenses, isn't it?  It¡¯s more profitable, you calculate the consequences here!¡±

    Qian Taichong was still a little confused. Zhou Lezhi saw that he couldn't figure it out for a while and reminded him: "Don't talk about sugar, just talk about rice. Does the farmer who grows rice and sells grain make more money, or the grain dealer makes more money?!"

    Qian Taichong suddenly realized this and said: "That's right! People who are covered with silkworms are not silkworm farmers!"

    "That's it. Kun Thief needs commercial channels. This is also the most profitable thing. Making sugar has nothing to do with military and national plans. If you want to do it, he will ask for it." As he said, he mentioned that he worked in Lingao and Guangzhou.  , Kun thieves all have things to do with attracting investment to set up factories and transfer technology and equipment.

    "Several projects have also been auctioned in Guangzhou. The thieves helped build factories and train craftsmen. They even took care of the machinery. If you want to set up a sugar factory, you can do the same."Qian Taichong suddenly realized this and said, "That's right! People who are covered with silkworms are not silkworm farmers!"
