Mystery Makes Me Strong

After entering the city, Wen Rensheng followed Li Xin to the gate of a large courtyard with six entrances.

As soon as Li Xin came to the door, the helpers who were sitting on the porch in front of the door hurriedly got up.

"I met Mr. Li."

"Well, let me announce that I'm back."

Li Xin was sincere about these helpers.

Obviously, the identity of a Juren is very valuable.

The helpers ran all the way immediately, and went to the porter first to make an announcement.

An old man stepped out of the porter.

"Mr. Li is back, the master said, you will meet him in the study as soon as you come."

"Okay, this is my nephew Li Hao, please arrange it."

"It's easy to say, easy to say, please follow me."

Wen Rensheng then followed the old concierge to a side room to live in.

Of course, he couldn't go to see the governor directly. He must wait for Li Xin to meet the governor and wait for the governor to summon him before he can enter.

At this moment, he began to think in his heart which way to go.

The world of the late Ming type.

There are several ways to start a family by relying on the people.

One is that he started as a refugee, and Li Zicheng is a typical example.

The second is to follow the maritime route, and Zheng Zhilong is a typical example.

The third is to follow Zuo Liangyu's route, that is, the warlord's route, develop the site, and be Cao Cao.

There are several other routes, but none have proven themselves historically.

Not worth relying on.

Moreover, ideas and technologies beyond this era cannot be used.

Then you can only use the technology that exists in this era.

In fact, it is enough.

At this time, the West already had mature firearms tactics.

Accumulate silver, accept refugees, rely on training a large number of cheap line soldiers, rely on low-level officers and whips, and relatively sufficient food and military pay to make them obey military discipline.

As long as the exchange is one-to-one, no one is your opponent.

But the premise is to do business well.

And doing business in this era must have a government background, without a government background, that is the leeks in the field, and you will cut them when they are really fat.

Without exception.

How big a government background can have a big business.

How many shops can a student open, how many streets can a recruit occupy, how many counties a Jinshi can span, how many provinces can a vassal king occupy, and how many provinces can a eunuch and court elder occupy. And vague rules.

Without the above background to rely on, it is a joke.

As for wanting to make money by relying on fair sales, business innovation, invention and creation, efficiency improvement, etc., I feel that the prison is not enough for people.

It really doesn't matter if a few people die here.

From this point, we can know how friendly the modern business environment is.

Wen Rensheng thought about it carefully, and with his current conditions, it is more comfortable to follow the warlord route.

Firstly, it is quick to get started, and secondly, the risk is low.

Needless to say, the refugees, who had the same background and experience as Li Zicheng, have died.

The probability of death is the greatest among the three.

Needless to say, the sea merchants, Zheng Zhilong's confidants and brave generals were all killed by fishing nets in the naval battle of the jump gang.

On the contrary, the warlord route is really not very dangerous. If you manage the servants, if you can't beat them, let the servants escape with the guards.

As long as there are soldiers, horses, and servants, even if you run away, the governor will not kill you, and will rely on you.

Of course, the premise is that there is still money, territory, and clan, which can convince the court and make the court scruples.

Just like Li Chengliang, 8,000 members of the family line up and down Liaodong, linking up and down to dominate one side, and how many people impeach him for rebellion, but the result is nothing.

To be able to do this, first, you have soldiers and money in your hands; second, you have people in the court;

Raising the bandits' self-respect is also an important part.

In short, it is impossible to fool the court.

All of them are his people, his family members, his adopted son, and his servants.

In the end, any commander with a foreign surname came here and couldn't sit still.

Even if the imperial court can remove one of them, it is unable to exchange blood as a whole.

Because when the imperial court arrived at his time, the executive power of the officials had long been inferior to that at the beginning of the founding of the country.

As long as he doesn't rebel, he'll make do with it.

And Li Chengliang did not rebel, but he raised rebels.

Wen Rensheng thought about how he should follow suit.

Well, have more children.

Now I am 15 years old, and I can take concubinage at the age of 15.

Take 3,000 concubines in one breath, and a year later, there will be 3,000 dolls.

It has been in business for 15 years, and all of them are assigned to the army.

Which court minister can shake it?

impossible.

Moreover, they can use the theory of loyalty and filial piety of this era to tie these dolls tightly.

Adopted sons are very binding, let alone parents and children?

If you are disobedient, you can also sue for disobedience.

But the biggest problem is not enough time.

Can only be used as a long-term pawn.

It's better to be a prince of a place first.

In terms of fame and fortune, it takes three years to be admitted to Juren, and another year to be admitted to Jinshi.

This is a very lucky situation. After winning the Juren, he will be able to take the Jinshi examination that year.

However, after becoming a Jinshi, he still has to go to the Hanlin-Six Departments-Governor, and it will take 20 years to complete this set.

too slow.

Or not.

Not as effective as having a baby.

Wen Rensheng is a player who understands the choice of the Golden Armored God, and now he is the son of the barbarian leader, with independent military power and fame.

The other party will definitely use the most reasonable measures to accumulate quickly.

The only advantage is that the player's knowledge reserve is definitely far inferior to him.

But the other party will definitely be able to get the comprehensive guidance of the Jinjia Shenren.

He thought carefully about the fastest molding speed, and he decided to grab money.

If you want money, you need power.

If you want to get power quickly, you have to take the counselor route.

A scholar can also answer the curtain.

As long as you come up with more effective ideas, you can quickly take advantage of the momentum to take shape.

Nurhachi took a similar route, working as a slave in Li Chengliang's family, and was finally promoted and appointed by Li Chengliang, unifying the Jianzhou Jurchen.

That was also very slow. It took Nurhachi 30 years to unify the Jurchens in Jianzhou. There is really nothing to boast about.

Later, Li Chengliang died for 3 years before he dared to rebel, but he was also old, and he went crazy within a few years.

It can only be said that it is the current situation.

The Ming Dynasty, which was already too decadent, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty who had no execution ability, faced the strict and relatively efficient slavery system under the condition of technological degradation, were beaten to pieces.

The main reason is that there are not enough troops to mobilize.

Financially bankrupt, only about 150,000 troops can be mobilized each time, while the opponent has 60,000 elite troops.

It's less than 3:1, and there is no geographical advantage. Most of the 150,000 are support, and the elite is at most 30,000 to 50,000.

And the other party has 60,000, with 20,000 absolute elites.

In this way, the gap is even smaller.

Considering the centripetal force and the degree of unity, failure is actually not confusing.

It's no wonder if you don't lose.

Wen Rensheng was thinking about it, when the old concierge came and called him:

"Young master, Mr. Li asked you to meet the master in the study."

This is the governor, an absolute member of the party, and has the ability to separate a territory.

Just because it's going to be rotated regularly, there's no chance of segregation.

Soon, Wen Rensheng, led by the old concierge, came to the second east study.

I saw an old man in his sixties, sitting on a chair in the study, drawing a picture.

Li Xin was standing aside.

Wen Rensheng walked over, cupped his hands and said, "The student has met Mr. Futai."

"You are not a child, what did you say when you came here? Why don't you hurry up and bow to Mr. Wang?" Li Xin scolded Wen Rensheng when he saw that Wen Rensheng just cupped his hands.

"Heaven and earth, master and master, a man has gold under his knees, he kneels on his knees and kneels on his parents, I will not kneel to others." Wen Rensheng said directly.

A joke, let him kneel for a bet.

He's not really a time-traveling monster.

If he kneels, it will attract jokes.

He is a man of great wisdom, only others worship him for wisdom, there is no reason for him to worship others in turn.

It's a big deal to lose, and there is no reason to kowtow.

"What a madman." Governor Wang Guitai put down the pen in his hand, not angry, but smiled.

Wen Rensheng looked at the governor with admiration.

If he put this set in Manqing, he would be beheaded immediately, nothing else.

It's a good idea for a slave to dare not kneel down to his master.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of ideas were rampant, and even the students dared to organize people to beat the county magistrate.

So if you don't bow down to this matter, it can also be regarded as madness.

At least the governor didn't let anyone pull him out and beat him to death directly.

In fact, he couldn't do that either.

Because Wen Rensheng had fame at this time, but he didn't kneel down. If he wanted to punish him, he could give a warrant to officials like Xuezheng, because he didn't know the dignity and etiquette, so his fame would be dismissed.

But the students can see the officials without kneeling.

But it's only limited to county magistrates. If it's a bigger magistrate, he should kneel or kneel yesterday.

If you become a Jinshi and become an official, you have to kneel when you see a superior, let alone a scholar.

But if the governor really did this, his reputation among scholars would be ruined.

"Don't dare, it's just that the student's knees are hard and he can't kneel down." Wen Rensheng cupped his hands.

"Okay, then I'll test your knowledge, and your uncle praised you very well." Governor Wang said.

"My lord, please come up with a question."

"Well, there are so many things going on in the Liao Dynasty now, the Eastern captives have repeatedly made troubles, and the country's use is insufficient. What's your explanation?" Governor Wang said directly.

"This..." Li Xin turned pale with shock. This kind of thing was a topic for Juren to write a policy theory during the palace examination after passing the Gongsheng examination.

Now it is actually used to ask a scholar, which is really a bit difficult.

It seems that the governor deliberately killed his nephew out of arrogance.

Don't take a career test, but practice practice.

In fact, the practice is more difficult.

However, it is easier for those who focus on practice to be promoted now, and they will rise all the way, and they will not be affected by the competition.

On the contrary, Qingliu was not so easy to be promoted.

"Insufficient national use is because we didn't see clearly who has the most money and whose money has the least hidden dangers after being expropriated." Wen Rensheng said flatly.

"Oh, why don't you tell me?" Governor Wang was shocked when he heard this.

"Inside and outside the imperial court today, the rich are nothing more than vassal kings, nobles, old officials, powerful eunuchs, etc... Their wealth is comparable to that of the imperial court for decades." Wen Rensheng said one by one.

"Hey, you scholar, you can see clearly, but how to collect it? Difficult, difficult." Governor Wang shook his head.

He knew that there was one thing Wen Rensheng didn't mention, and that was a retired official.

"How to collect, there should be a king who doesn't love money, sell some best-selling items in the name of the royal family, and then let the rich and noble buy them." Wen Rensheng continued.

"Tell me, what can you do?" Governor Wang said in surprise.

His heart was pounding, he didn't expect to get a big fish.

If the strategy is written in the secret book and presented to the current emperor, he, the governor, will definitely be able to join the cabinet, and it may not be impossible to become the capital.

After all, what the emperor is most worried about at present is the military salary, money and food, so that there is no way to relieve the disaster.

"What, it's naturally an elixir. Didn't the royal family refine elixir before? Sell it as an elixir, and sell it to noble and wealthy people. One elixir is 10,000 taels. You only need to sell 300 elixir, and it can be used for a year." It is." Wen Rensheng wrote lightly.

Governor Wang's breathing gradually became heavy.

Cultivation, I want to cultivate.

After all, this is the nephew of an important staff member, I can't be angry with a fool.

"Others are not stupid, why would they buy 10,000 taels of elixir?" Governor Wang asked.

"Didn't the royal family spend a lot of money refining elixir in the past? Why did people believe it earlier?" Wen Rensheng asked.

"It really is a crazy student." Governor Wang was a little angry.

This scholar actually questioned himself in a rhetorical tone.

But there was some truth to what he said.

Why were the previous emperors willing to spend millions of taels to refine the elixir?

A few million taels is really not nonsense.

After all, it costs millions of taels to build a palace, and eunuchs naturally contributed to it.

Then it is to buy all kinds of medicinal materials, and even all kinds of weird things that persecute the maids...

Then there were all kinds of manpower consumption...

Adding up the mess, several million taels of silver is not an exaggeration.

"Your Excellency, the crux of the problem is how to make those rich and honored people believe in this elixir. Do rich and honored people believe in Buddhism? If we say that this elixir is a gift from the Buddha, can't it be sold for 10,000 taels?"

Of course Wen Rensheng can make mirrors and soap, but these may exceed the limitations of the times.

Not recognized by the Golden Armored God.

However, there is no problem selling elixir.

After all, the emperor began to refine the elixir by himself decades ago, hoping to live forever.

Now it's just selling the refined elixir to others.

"Here, this kid is so silent, don't mention it again." Governor Wang was finally annoyed, "You madman, do you have any other ideas?"

"The elixir can't be sold, so you can only start by sorting out the royal shop. The students have the skill of knowing people, and they can see that those people are honest and honest, and they won't do anything to them. As long as they are replaced, the collection of money can be greatly increased. The current emperor doesn't value money, and frequently distributes the internal treasury, if the emperor has money, it is enough for the state." Wen Rensheng said again.

"You can know people?" Governor Wang frowned, "Don't talk big, don't talk about those charlatans."

Li Xin also hurriedly taught a lesson: "You boy, don't say anything out of words."

"You can give it a try."

That's right, Wen Rensheng doesn't cheat, doesn't cheat, doesn't use muskets and cannons, the Spanish large formation of modern cavalry, and only uses an ancient saying that knows people and faces each other.

Of course, the ancients published a lot of books, and later there are ice mirrors, which also talk about how to know people.

However, it is not allowed.

Only a few people can be accurate.

Wen Rensheng relied on this to quickly accumulate a sum of money and power.
