Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 269 Chapter 269, Hauge sent a letter asking for money, Cihong even nailed it
"News from Shenyang?" After hearing Fang Gongqian's words, Zhu Cihong immediately perked up.

Now the number one enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty, so the news from the capital of the Qing Dynasty must be treated and handled with great caution.

Fang Gongqian didn't waste any time and directly handed a letter into Zhu Cihong's hands.

Zhu Cilang opened the envelope for a look, then frowned suddenly, showing a smile: "So it's Hauge's letter."

Hauge is now an "old customer" of Dongchang. Since the previous cooperation, Dongchang has used Hauge's influence to quietly expand its power in Shenyang City, and at the same time helped Hauge avoid Dole several times. Dagon and Jierhalang's target, the cooperation between the two parties can be regarded as very pleasant.

In this letter, Hauge actually said one thing, that is, some time ago, Dorgon said in the meeting of the ministers of the king of politics that he would send people to contact Qinghai and Shuo Te to put pressure on the north of Ming Dynasty together. .

Hauge obviously didn't pay too much attention to this matter, he just mentioned it hastily in a few words, but used a relatively large space to explain that he needs a sum of money to continue to develop his power against Dorgon.

Yes, Hauge came to ask Zhu Cihong for money.

An important official from the Manchu Qing came to ask Daming for money, and only a cheeky man like Hauge could do it.

Zhu Cihong reached out and knocked on the table, lost in thought.

After a while, Zhu Cihong said: "Old Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Gong said: "Your Highness, I feel that I might as well give Hauge a little sweetness."

Zhu Cihong said: "Why?"

Fang Gong said: "Haoge, to put it bluntly, is a man with great ambition and little talent. Apart from being able to fight a little bit, he is completely a trash in politics. If we can quietly control this person, That is equivalent to driving a nail into the interior of Jianu, which is of great benefit to Daming."

Zhu Cihong glanced at Fang Gong: "Are you so sure that you can control Hauge?"

Fang Gong said: "If His Highness supports the servant, the servant feels at least [-]% to [-]% sure."

Zhu Cihong continued to ponder.

Of course, Zhu Cihong didn't understand Fang Gongqian's meaning.

Hauge originally only belonged to a cooperative relationship with Daming. If one day he turned his back on him, Hauge only had to kill all of Daming’s liaison personnel in Shenyang to deny everything. He slandered.

But if there is a money exchange, things will not be so simple.

Money has a fixed flow, and it is very difficult to cover up large sums of money, and it is easy to be exposed once traced.

In this way, Hauge, who had a money transaction, was bound to Daming in an extremely deep way.

As the saying goes, being short-tongued and soft-handed, Hauge definitely did not want to surrender to Ming Dynasty, but wanted to use Ming Dynasty's power to develop his power, but he also gave Ming Dynasty a means to control him in turn.

Zhu Cixiang raised his head and said, "That's right. Let's give him 10 taels first and see how he uses it."

Zhu Cihong is still not short of money, and this is also due to the previous house raids.

In fact, not only the house, cash, antiques, furniture, and land are harvested during house raids, but there is also something that is rarely recorded in books, and that is property.

Daming is a dynasty with a strong business atmosphere, especially in the Jiangnan and Guangzhou generations. The big families here not only have a large amount of land, but each family has some family industries, such as sugar, textiles, paper, etc. Stationery, shipbuilding and more.

These family businesses are either individual shops or larger factories.If these shops and factories were nationalized when the houses were seized, they would basically be managed by the eunuchs appointed by the imperial court to the south of the Yangtze River, and the annual proceeds would be transported back to the palace.

Zhu Cihong, as the main envoy who launched the house raid operation in the south of the Yangtze River, had already obtained a number of properties in his hands. In addition, in order to show his support for Dongchang, Chongzhen also transferred some industries from other eunuchs to Dongchang.

In this way, Zhu Cihong has actually become a first-class industrial owner in the south of the Yangtze River. Now his crown prince controls three sugar factories, seven textile factories, two paper factories and a shipyard, as well as miscellaneous shops. Bailai home.

Last year, these industries handed over a huge profit of more than one million taels of silver, which was obtained when Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Xianzhong suddenly attacked Jiangnan, and Zhu Cihong subsequently caused turmoil in the Jiangnan purge.

Although this year has not yet passed, it is foreseeable that the profit will be more than last year, and it is not impossible to even double it.

So even without the support of the system, Zhu Cihong was still able to calmly bid 10 taels, which is an astronomical amount of money for ordinary people.

Fang Gonggan was taken aback, and said: "Your Highness, is this too much? I want you to tell me, three to fifty thousand taels is enough."

Zhu Cihong laughed, and said to Fang Gong: "Old Fang, this is why you don't understand, right? Sending money is to be delivered at once, and it must exceed Hauge's psychological expectations. In this way, Hauge will Knowing that our side is truly capable, he will be more willing to cooperate with us."

Fang Gongqian nodded half-understood, and said, "Understood Your Highness."

Fang Gong went to arrange the delivery of silver. 10 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is very difficult to transport it from Daming to Liaodong quietly. This requires the full cooperation between Dongchang and Hauge.

Of course, if there is one, there are two.If the transportation this time is really successful, then in the future, without notifying Hauge, can Daming quietly transport some other things into Liaodong, or even directly to Shenyang City?It should be possible too.

In general, Zhu Cihong really hopes that this money-giving trip will be a complete success!

After solving this matter, Zhu Cihong felt much more relaxed.Today, he doesn't need to go to Chongzhen to assist in government affairs, so he plans to find his new wife Luo Yunyao to cultivate his relationship.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhu Cihong stood up, an unexpected guest arrived.

"Wang Chengen has met His Highness." Wang Chengen bowed respectfully to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong shrugged his shoulders: "My lord, is it possible that the father has some mission?"

Wang Chengen smiled kindly: "Your Highness, there are envoys from North Korea. Your Majesty intends to receive them. Please go over and listen to them, Your Highness."

"An envoy from North Korea?" This answer really surprised Zhu Cihong.

Hasn't the current North Korea declared surrender to the Manchu Qing?

　Good guy, I put it in the background and forgot to release it on time. .
