New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Liu Bu looked at the tall Zhengyang gate and said, "one day I will enter the capital from Zhengyang gate."

When he said this, there was a kind of driving posture of Qin Shihuang that Liu Bang saw in bolangsha: "I can replace it!"

Liu Yuanqiao was startled when he heard this sentence. He said, "my good nephew, this is the capital. There are royal guards and spies everywhere. It's a great crime of disrespect to be heard."

Liu Bu smiled at him.

In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the royal guards might have done this, but now the royal guards have become a tool to make money.

What's more, the royal guards haven't shown much for so long. Until the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the royal guards haven't shown any excellent performance. They think the royal guards are so powerful. It's a folk deified legend.

If the royal guards are so powerful, what were they doing when the Ming Dynasty perished?

If the royal guards are so powerful, what role have they played in the rise of JianNu and the rise of roving bandits? It doesn't work.

Royal guards used to be very brilliant and powerful, but like other departments in the imperial court, they have been cowardly. They have already rotted and declined from the inside.

Luo Yangxing should be the commander of the royal guards now. His father Luo Sigong has also been the commander of the Royal Guards for decades. He is a commander of the royal guards, the son of heaven Eagle dog and a sharp weapon for killing. What an important position, but it is hereditary?

It's OK to say that Luo Yangxing showed great ability, but he was just an ordinary official. Finally, when the Ming Dynasty perished, he also played a very disgraceful role.

Moreover, after Liu Bu confirmed that the royal guards did not supervise the craftsmen, he knew that the royal guards were completely abolished.

As Liu Bu expected, the Liu family also had their luxurious houses in the capital, and they lived near the Imperial City, where all the dignitaries lived.

They didn't have to stay in the hotel, and then directly came to their Liu family's mansion, where a housekeeper was responsible for receiving them.

However, this is Liu Yuanqiao's property. Generally speaking, Liu Yuanshan will not live here when he comes to the capital. This time, he came with Liu Bu and they came here. Here is only Liu Yuanqiao's temporary residence in the capital occasionally.

However, it is also equivalent to a headquarters of the Liu family in the capital. The Liu family is the richest in the world. In fact, it is not blindly corrupt. Corruption alone is difficult to get so much money. They are also doing business. The person who stays here to coordinate the business of the whole capital area is Liu GUI.

Liu GUI is Liu Yuanqiao's former schoolboy. Of course, he can be listed as a confidant. If I like them, which is similar to a family business, if I'm not a confidant, I can't only take an important task. He is responsible for managing all the business and business of the Liu family in the capital. It can be seen that I trust him.

Liu GUI was very happy to see Liu bu. He respectfully introduced him into the mansion, and then took out the account book to show him. There were a group of accounting rooms on standby.

This has almost become their rule. As long as the owners come here, the first thing they want to see is the account book. It can be said that if the account book fails to pass, it is estimated that they will be kicked out.

Liu Bu didn't know anything about business, and he couldn't understand these ancient chaotic bookkeeping methods. He just glanced around and saw that the final result was that he made 60000 liang of silver this year.

It is only August now, and they have earned 60000 taels of silver. If they do this, it is estimated that they may earn as much as 100000 by the end of the year. It can be seen that their business in the capital is also very large.

Liu Bu said, "I'll have a rest today and I'll take an inventory of the warehouse tomorrow."

If there is no problem with the account, make a physical inventory to ensure that there is no problem, so as to prevent the other party from making false accounts. Before he came, Liu Yuanqiao wrote him a letter and asked him to have a look at the account here.

If it had been in the past, Liu Yuanqiao would not have let him do such a thing. It is estimated that he could not understand it, but after Liu Bu returned to Fushan, he took charge of everything he did after Fushan, which made Liu Yuanqiao have a feeling of being impressed, so he was entrusted with an important task.

Liu Bu introduced Mao Qiao to Liu GUI. He said, "this is master Mao Qiao, my confidant. You should cooperate with him in the future."

He wanted to say Mao Qiao's identity directly, but he was afraid that the other party would look down on him. If the other party looked down on him and didn't fully cooperate with his work, he probably couldn't do a good job, so he added that this is my confidant. You must cooperate with his work.

Sure enough, after Liu Bu said this, Liu GUI was awed and smiled. He said to Mao Qiao, "I've met master Cangqiao. If you need anything in the future, please tell me."

Mao Qiao was very happy to see that Liu Bu respected him so much and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Liu Buhe said, "we have raised hundreds of servants in Fushan, so we need weapons, so the main purpose of our coming to the capital this time is to recruit some craftsmen from the military weapons supervisor to Fushan to help us build some weapons. It's not always possible to buy some weapons. Mao Qiao is responsible for this matter. You give him your full assistance, If there's anything you can't solve, come back to me. "

Liu Bu and his family are outsiders. They don't know how to contact the people in the ordnance supervisor. Mao Qiao knows how to contact the people in the ordnance supervisor, but he used to be an ordinary craftsman here. Who would take it as one thing and convince him. In this way, it's necessary for the big housekeeper of the Liu family to go out. As long as he goes out, he will be persuasive. After all, my big shop, Such a big mansion is here. I'm afraid I'll cheat you if I eat you?

Liu GUI, Xu Jianqiang and Liu Fuqi, although they have the name of housekeeper, are actually equivalent to the professional managers of the Liu family, including the president and CEO of the branch company.

Liu GUI hesitated a little when Liu Bu said this. He went to the weapons prison to rob people. It was already taboo. Later, what Liu Bu said was even more taboo. What does it mean to make some weapons by himself? Don't you want to rebel?

Liu Bu saw that the other party hesitated. He had to say, "Dad, he knows this. Do you think I dare to do this without his order?"

When Liu Bu said this, Liu GUI immediately dared not hesitate. He believed in Liu Yuanqiao's control. He immediately said, "no problem. I will go all out to cooperate with master Mao Qiao."

Liu Bu found that he had to put on airs in front of his men. The bigger the airs, the more others respect you. Here, if you are approachable, you can't eat it. If you are approachable, there will be no dignity, and the other party will regard you as an ordinary person.

So Liu Bu had to pretend to be superior, very dignified and indifferent, and then said, "don't screw up." although he didn't say what would happen if he screwed up, there was a meaning in his tone. If you screw up, it depends on how I pick you up.

As soon as Liu Bu said this, Liu GUI immediately agreed. He said, "the little one will go all out and won't disappoint the young master. You can rest assured."

Liu Bu ordered the kitchen to cook a delicious meal for his bodyguards and soldiers, and then said, "each person will enjoy two liang of silver. Tomorrow, go and see the colorful world in the capital."

This is the proper style of the young master of a rich family. The guards were very happy. They saluted Liu Bu and said, "thank you, Lord Qianhu."

Liu bu also hosted a banquet for Liu Yuanshan and Liu Yu. By the way, he discussed how to meet Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, tomorrow.

Zhang Fengyi is today's minister of the Ministry of war, but from a top official, it's not what they want to see. The formal process is that they must first put famous spikes in his residence and see you when the other party thinks they can see you. If the other party puts on airs, it's normal not to see you for a year or two.

However, Liu Bu has instructions from Yuanshan. When they visit tomorrow, they will send a gift list, and then they can put the famous thorn at the top.

Of course, this is not just a gift giving problem. There is also a stress in gift giving, that is, they must not only give gifts to the Minister of the Ministry of war, but also give gifts to his housekeepers, so as to ensure that the famous thorns they visit will always be in the first place.

Liu Bu was really good when he saw that he was an official. You see, he handed over a famous thorn and spent more than 500 liang of silver.

Liu Yuanshan said, "if you're not in a hurry and are willing to wait, you won't have to spend so much for a month or two. It's only about fifty Liang at most. You must understand that these senior officials and Yamen in the capital are difficult to enter, difficult to handle and ugly. If there is silver to open the way, it's different."

Liu Bu sees that it's like this now. Now officials are concerned about making money. Where are there people concerned about their own responsibilities and the life and death of the people all over the world.

Even those from the bottom are struggling to survive for their own survival, not to mention serving the country and the people.

The main purpose of Liu Buhe's coming to Beijing this time is to meet the Minister of the Ministry of war and talk with each other. Is there any room for cooperation.

After Liu Bu and their departure, Liu Yuanqiao ordered someone to send him an urgent letter and entrusted him with a secret task, leaving him fully responsible.

Originally, the status of the Liu family was far from that of Zhang Fengyi, the first-class Minister of the Ministry of war, but what they had was money, which could narrow the relationship between the two sides.

Liu Yuanshan has a friendship with Zhang Fengyi. It's not a personal friendship, but a friendship smashed with silver
