Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 150 The Queen is still bullied! Silver Empire!

Women are of course sensitive, so almost as soon as Su Ye stretched out his claws and grabbed the snow-white jade mountain, Queen Niuhulu was immediately alert.

She had never been touched by a man other than the emperor.

To be precise, she was rarely touched by the emperor in the past two years.

Because she was too serious and not wild enough.

Her first reaction was to be shocked.

She almost instinctively screamed, but her only reason told her not to scream.

Because she was the queen, if she screamed, people outside would rush in, and she would not be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

So, she began to struggle hard.

At this time, Su Ye had many reactions in his mind.

The first reaction was to immediately say that you are not Shouxi, who are you?

In this way, he and Princess Shouxi are an engaged couple, which is reasonable.

"Who are you? Let me go?" The queen whispered.

Hearing this voice, Su Ye's voice trembled immediately.

It turned out to be... the queen?

This... this is really terrible.

But... it's also wonderful.

Even hearing the word "Queen", his brother refused to listen, and instantly became extremely angry.

Brother, it's not time yet, not time yet.

Suddenly, Su Ye grabbed her pink neck and said, "You are not Sister Shouan, who are you?"

The Queen immediately recognized that this was Su Ye's voice.

She was shocked.

Oh my God, Su Ye really had an affair with Sister Shouan.

Her intuition was right.

"Hurry up and tell me, or I'll kill you." Su Ye said coldly, and then exerted force with his palm.

Of course, the queen couldn't reveal her identity, so she said directly: "I am the princess's maid."

Su Ye was silent for a long time and then said: "You are not the princess's maid, you are the queen."

Suddenly, the queen was extremely ashamed and angry, and said coldly: "Since you know, why don't you let me go."

Su Ye said: "Then please swear that you will never tell anyone about the private relationship between me and Princess Shou'an."

The queen trembled and said: "Sister Shou'an and I are like sisters, how could I tell anyone?"

Su Ye said: "Swear."

The queen said coldly: "Su Ye, you are bold, how dare you offend me?"

Su Ye said: "For Sister Shou'an, I can't care so much. You swear that you will never tell anyone about the private relationship between me and Sister Shou'an, otherwise I will strip you naked and throw you out, so that everyone in the princess's mansion can see your naked appearance clearly."

The queen was furious when she heard it.

Su Ye, you are so brave.

Are you going to die?

But the next second, Su Ye really took action and tore off her clothes directly.

"I swear that I will never tell anyone about your affair with Sister Shou'an, or I will be struck by lightning!" the queen said word by word.

At this moment, Su Ye suddenly lit up the fire.

Suddenly, the queen's delicate and beautiful face, noble and charming, lit up.

Half of her clothes were torn off, revealing half of her charming bamboo shoot-shaped jade mountain.

"Ah!" The queen covered her mouth immediately when she saw the fire.

"Su Ye, do you really want to die?"

Su Ye said: "Queen, I have seen that there is a red mole on your private part of your chest. Then we have a handle on each other. Once my affair with Sister Shou'an is exposed, I will immediately expose your private red mole. You know the consequences then."

The queen was so angry that she trembled all over and said: "Su Ye, you are so presumptuous, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Su Ye extinguished the fire.

Then, he immediately let the queen go.

He stepped back several steps and said, "Queen, please forgive me for my rudeness. This is related to the safety of Sister Shouan, so I have to be cautious."

Hearing Su Ye's respectful tone, he felt more secure and said immediately, "You go out."

Su Ye said, "I'll take my leave."

Then, he left completely.

Suddenly, the queen said, "Su Ye, I also regard Princess Shouan as my own sister, so I won't tell anyone about your affairs."

"But you are too presumptuous. Princess Shouan has a husband, and you are going to marry Princess Shouxi. How can you behave like this?"

Su Ye said, "I can't help it, what can I do?"

Then, he didn't explain anymore and left directly.

The queen hurriedly said, "You can't tell anyone about what happened tonight, understand?"

After Su Ye left.

The queen almost collapsed to the ground, completely confused.

What happened tonight was completely unimaginable to her, and she didn't know how long it would take to digest it.

But, she couldn't stay in this place.

She straightened her clothes, collected her mood and emotions, stood up and left quickly.

On the way, she met Princess Shouan who had returned. The Queen's first reaction was to run away quickly.

Then she wondered, why should I run away? It was obviously you who had an affair.

"Queen, what do you want to talk to me about? Just send someone to notify me, and I will go to the palace to see you, why do you have to make a hard trip?" Princess Shouan said.

The Queen tried her best to suppress her inner emotions, thinking of the mission today, and said in a tight voice: "The Concubine Dowager has some things to say, so she asked me to find the fourth sister."

Princess Shouan said: "The Concubine Dowager has something to talk to me about? Let's talk in the study."

Go into the study again? She really didn't want to go in.

Once she entered, the memory became clear.

However, Princess Shou'an has already taken the initiative to move forward.

The queen looked at her back with shame and anger, and followed her in.

"You guys guard the outside and don't let anyone in."

…………………………………………

Then, the two of them entered the study.

Princess Shou'an said: "Empress, if the concubine has anything to say, you can't tell me directly. I want you to talk to me."

The queen looked at where Princess Shou'an was sitting, and couldn't help but wonder in her mind whether Su Yi was messing around with Princess Shou'an right here.

Then, instantly there was a picture.

Princess Shou'an said: "Queen?"

"Oh!" The queen woke up from a dream and said: "It was difficult for Prince Naiman to come to urge the fourth sister, so he found the concubine. The implication behind the words is that the fourth sister misses the fourth sister and wants you to go back as soon as possible. . It’s not easy for the concubine to tell you, so she entrusts me to do it.”

Princess Shou'an suddenly turned cold and said: "What? I want to wait until the sixth sister's wedding is over before returning to the Mongolian Naiman tribe, can't I? Come and hurry me now?"

Speaking of which, Princess Shou'an has been in the capital for almost two years.

The queen was unable to complain in her heart at this time.

Are you reluctant to part with Princess Shouxi? You are so reluctant to let go of Su Yi.

And what would Princess Shouxi think if she knew you were having an affair with Su Yi?

After thinking for a while, the queen said: "Fourth sister, I shouldn't say more, but I still want to give you some advice. People's words are terrible."

Princess Shou'an's beautiful face changed and she said: "Queen, what rumors have you heard?"

The queen thought in her heart, this is a guilty conscience, and I haven't said anything yet.

"I haven't heard any rumors, but..." The queen didn't know what to say at the moment. She didn't dare to expose Su Yi and Shou'an's affair. Otherwise, she would get burned. Why did you know?

She absolutely didn't want anyone to know what happened between her and Su Yi tonight.

Princess Shou'an said: "I understand, Queen, I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future."

The queen said: "In that case, I will return to the palace."

Princess Shou'an said: "It's so late and it's inconvenient to go back to the palace. Why not stay at the princess' mansion? The emperor won't be unhappy."

"No," the queen said.

Then, she insisted on returning to the palace.

She can't stay in this place anymore, and she won't dare to come to this place in the future.

It would be too embarrassing if something weird happened.

But as a queen, she regarded Princess Shou'an as a relative and felt that her affair with Su Yi was always wrong.

Even if you and your husband-in-law don't live happily, you... shouldn't be like this.

A woman's chastity must always be taken into consideration.

Then, she thought with great embarrassment and anger that Su Yi was so brave. Not only did he touch her, he also dared to look at her.

Bastard, bastard!

One day, I will teach you a lesson.

Tonight, I really shouldn't have come here, but I was bullied like this by a minister of Su Yi.

In the future, I will definitely come back with revenge.

After the queen left completely, Princess Shou'an still felt strange. The queen's words and deeds tonight were strange.

……………………………………………………

And at this time.

Yangxin Hall, inside Sanxi Hall.

Sushun handed Su Yi's memorial to the emperor.

The emperor looked at it carefully twice, frowned slightly, and then put it aside.

Then, the emperor asked: "Sushun, how can you see it?"

Sushun was an absolutely obedient minister, and he first guessed the emperor's thoughts before speaking.

After a long while, he said: "Su Yi is too young and energetic, too naive."

He didn't want to talk about the rest.

Too many words lead to mistakes.

The emperor said: "Since he has spoken and it is not easy to do things, then... let's allocate 700,000 taels from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to him."

Suddenly, Sushun knew what the emperor was thinking.

After Sushun left, the emperor couldn't help but shake his head.

Su Yi, your appetite is too big.

I really can't be satisfied.

I am not in favor of setting up a factory.

Since you want to try it, I won’t stop you.

But for seven million taels of silver, if you have the ability, just raise it yourself.

If you can't raise money, you will give up.

……………………………………………………

The next day!

Su Yi went to Sushun Mansion again.

Sushun still received Su Yi warmly and said, "I handed your memorial to the emperor immediately last night. The emperor was very supportive and ordered me to allocate 700,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to you."

Seven hundred thousand taels?

He needed 7 million taels, but the emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate 700,000 taels.

Then, Sushun said: "Su Yi, it's not easy for the Emperor. The collapse of the imperial mausoleum requires money, and the suppression of rebellion requires money. Money is needed everywhere, and the new army in Tianjin also needs money. This family is difficult to manage. Being able to squeeze out these 700,000 taels of silver is already a great blessing.”

"I think the emperor's intention is to not make your stall so big. Start with the small ones first, and don't think about becoming a big fat man in one bite. What do you think?"

Su Yi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you Su Zhongtang for your guidance."

After Su Yi left, the staff came over and said, "Su Zhongtang, has Su Yi fallen out of favor?"

Su Shun said: "It's not that he fell out of favor, it's just that the emperor wanted him to retreat in spite of difficulties."

…………………………………………

Return home.

Shen Baozhen is already waiting.

"How is it, my lord?"

Su Yi said: "The Emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate 700,000 taels to us."

Shen Baozhen said: "Is it an allocation or a loan?"

Su Yi said: "I didn't say anything."

Shen Baozhen said: "Then it's hard to talk about the 700,000 taels. If we go through the process, I don't know how long it will take to get the money. We can't count on this money."

Then, Shen Baozhen said: "Besides, you don't expect this money, right?"

Su Yi nodded.

Shen Baozhen said: "It's good to do it this way. After your Excellency completes it, it will be difficult for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get involved."

Neither of them spoke clearly.

In fact, Su Yi didn't want the treasury to provide money for this matter from the beginning.

Once the treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs release the money, there will be endless finger-pointing.

However, Su Yi had to submit a memorial first and give this opportunity to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Since the other party said no, then he became independent next.

Shen Baozhen said: "Then how to raise these seven million taels of silver, sir, do you have any ideas? Can I ask my subordinates to help?"

Su Yi said: "It is not convenient for you to show up for this matter at the moment. And as expected, the emperor will summon you again soon."

At this time, there was a sound of thunder outside.

Seeing that Su Yi looked a little anxious, Shen Baozhen said: "Sir, I have temporarily resigned."

"In addition, there is one thing that I need to let you know. Today, there are only two types of people in the Qing Dynasty who can spend 7 million taels at a time. One is the wealthy businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other is the businessmen from Shanxi."

"The wealthy merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are too far away. Shanxi bank merchants are your only choice!"

…………………………………………

Next, Su Yi closed the courtyard door again.

No one is allowed near his study.

Then he took out his tablet.

He sent a message to the large group: "How to raise seven million taels of silver in the shortest time?"

Suddenly, the group exploded.

"It's simple. You have penicillin. Just sell it."

This is bullshit.

Where does he have so much penicillin?

Moreover, this thing currently has the largest market in Europe.

Moreover, in a short period of time, penicillin was sold at high prices, but it could not be sold for more than one million taels of silver.

"Group Leader, didn't you occupy Nanchang? There is a big tomb in Nanchang, the tomb of Marquis Haihun. There are countless gold and silver treasures in it. You can make a fortune all of a sudden."

The treasures in Haihunhou's cemetery can indeed make a fortune.

There are more than 10,000 pieces of precious jade, hundreds of kilograms of gold, and more than ten tons of copper coins.

Pure gold and copper coins are probably worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But compared to the figure of seven million taels of silver, this treasure is still too small.

"Selling officials! One of the sources of income for the Hunan Army is selling officials. The entire Jiangxi Province has been conquered, so many official positions have become vacant at once."

Negative Bamei said: "That's nonsense. There are many important official positions that the group leader has no time to arrange for his own people. The unimportant official positions are not very valuable. Besides, senior officials are all canonized by the imperial court, so the group leader cannot sell them even if they want to. "

"Then there is absolutely no way. Seven million taels of silver is really too much. It will be difficult to raise it in a short time."

"Group leader, how much time do you have to get this money?"

Su Yi said: "There are still ten days."

"This time is really too short."

Next, a large group of these talented people came up with completely bizarre suggestions, even selling Viagra.

In this world right now, where could he go to find Will Gang?

And as soon as this topic came up, the group immediately went off topic.

Not surprisingly, I immediately turned to color.

"This is a video of Lisa begging for help. Is there a big boss out there?"

"Those upstairs, don't ask us for anything. We, the Diaoda clan, are very busy."

"I have a video, LISA is smooth and has no forest."

"Upstairs, you were deceived. That video is fake."

…………………………………………

In the small group, several people were helpless.

Negative Bamei said: "The wisdom of the crowd is very broad, but the wisdom of the crowd is very ordinary, so it is difficult to find surprises in a large crowd."

Young Bald said: "So, we still have to return to our previous strategy."

Negative Bamei said: "It's just that we had plenty of time before, but now we have become urgent."

Ying Nian Zao Bald said: "Now in the entire Jiangxi, the only thing that can be exchanged for seven million taels of silver is one thing, fertile farmland!"

Negative Bamei said: "The entire Qing Dynasty has more than one billion acres of land, but some fields are valuable and some are not."

"For example, the fields outside the Pass are not valuable. Although they are very fertile, the Qing government regards the lands outside the Pass as a land of prosperity and does not allow Han people to enter. However, the number of Manchus outside the Pass is small and it is regarded as a bitter cold place. A large number of fields are abandoned."

"But the fields in some places are indeed valuable. For example, the fertile farmland in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very valuable, and can reach about five taels to eighty taels per mu."

"There are about 50 million acres of cultivated land in Jiangxi, and the original population was 24 million. However, after the Taiping Rebellion, the population was reduced by half. Su Bacun, you sent troops early, which saved many people in Jiangxi. This is great. Kindness. But even so, the entire population of Jiangxi is still reduced by less than half. "

"So, at least more than 10 million acres of fertile land have been vacated and become ownerless land."

"Because of the war, the price of good farmland is probably lower. But even if we sell two or three million mu of land, we can get enough 7 million taels of silver."

"But the problem now is that time is too short. It is not easy to get 7 million taels of silver all at once. It is very difficult to sell 2 million mu of good farmland all at once."

Fu Ba Mei said: "Su Ye, what is the emperor's attitude?"

Su Ye said: "Not in favor, not against, encouraging on the surface, asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate 700,000 taels. But the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be able to get this money in the foreseeable future."

Fu Ba Mei said: "I understand, that is actually opposition."

Ying Nian Zao Bal said: "Su Ye, the emperor's attitude at this time is actually the most beneficial to you. Many of your actions will be relatively proactive in the future."

Fu Ba Mei said: "Su Ba Cun, you should prepare for the emperor early. You are getting closer and closer to that critical node."

………………………………………………

That night.

Su Ye, the deputy governor of the Bordered Blue Banner and the governor of Jiangxi, officially held a banquet.

The people invited were the richest people in the entire Qing court.

There are twelve Shanxi banks headed by Rishengchang.

Rishengchang was the first bank in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and it was truly rich enough to rival a country.

Now even the imperial court needs to cooperate with them.

This group of people can afford even more silver, not to mention seven million taels.

At the banquet, the bankers of these banks were very humble. Every time Su Ye toasted, they immediately stood up and bent their waists completely.

But Su Ye knew that although these people were humble, they were very powerful.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the wealthy merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Shanxi merchants controlled most of the economic lifeline.

Dashengkui was considered powerful, but compared with them, it was also a small role.

Dashengkui controlled the economic lifeline of Mongolia, and even the Qing court gave the tax revenue of Inner Mongolia to the other party.

And this group of Shanxi banks controlled half of the Qing Dynasty's finance, which could be called the Silver Empire.

Their strength was very strong, but their attitude was indeed very humble.

Throughout the banquet, these shopkeepers flattered Su Ye to the utmost and spoke very flatteringly.

After the banquet, tea was served.

After taking a sip of tea, Su Ye said, "Today I entertain you all for one thing, I want to borrow some money from you."

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing immediately stood up and said, "It is our blessing that Lord Su Ye can ask us. I wonder how much Lord Su wants to borrow?"

Su Ye said, "Seven million taels of silver."

This number was very shocking, and the other party was slightly moved when he heard it.

The shopkeeper of Rishengchang Bank in Beijing said more humbly, "Then I want to ask, what does Lord Su plan to use as collateral?"

Su Ye said, "Three million acres of fertile land in Jiangxi."

After that, Su Ye took out the map and marked which area of ​​arable land.

As for the land deeds and land deeds, he was already the governor of Jiangxi and could get them at any time.

More than a dozen shopkeepers came forward and looked carefully at the area of ​​fertile land.

They seemed to be looking very seriously, but Su Ye keenly felt that they were not interested in these fertile lands.

However, now they are the only ones in the whole capital who can take out 7 million taels of silver.

There is no other family.

Dashengkui cannot take it out. When it was at its peak, it only had a total asset of 20 million taels.

So, in a sense, these Shanxi Piaohao merchants in front of him are Su Ye's only choice.

Even 7 million taels of silver is a huge sum for these Shanxi Piaohao merchants in front of him.

So Su Ye found more than a dozen Piaohaos.

After a while, the shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing said: "Sir Su, can you allow us to discuss for a while."

Su Ye said: "Of course."

Then, he was about to go out.

"I dare not, I dare not." The shopkeeper of Rishengchang in Beijing said: "Sir Su, please sit down, we will go out to discuss."

Next, more than a dozen Piaohao shopkeepers went out to discuss.

Outside, they whispered.

After a full quarter of an hour, they came in.

The head of Rishengchang, the shopkeeper of the capital, bowed to Su Ye and said, "Sir Su Ye, we are unwilling to lend this seven million taels of silver, but we are willing to give it to you."

Give it to me?

Su Ye was shocked when he heard this.

This is not a small number, it is a full seven million taels, an astronomical figure.

Note: The first update is here, and I have been working all night again. I have to work hard to adjust my work and rest schedule, woo woo.

Benefactors who have monthly tickets, please give me some cakes, please everyone, thank you.
