Chapter 4 Targeted Blackmail
From the moment he decided, Yuan Dahai began to plan his own path to entry, because his identity was just a low-level agent in the Dongchang, just a small soldier with no rank. Therefore, even if he knew how history would develop, even if he was as powerful as the current situation in the court, he had nowhere to use it. He could only shook his head and sigh at the political battles that surging in Beijing every day, but could not participate in it, and used his advanced historical knowledge to influence the times and change history.
If you want to be able to get to Wei Zhongxian's eyes, you must be able to get close to him. The best way to get close to him is to climb up, from a foreign military officer to a chief officer, a commander, a commander, and a thousand households. You never have any say, and you can only follow the foreign military officer to become the leader of the Dongchang. Yuan Dahai believes that as long as he can climb up, he can meet Wei Zhongxian, and then he can give advice to Wei Zhongxian in the turbulent political battle in the fourth year of the Tianqi period, gain his trust and favor, and then change the direction of history through him, so that the glory of the Ming Dynasty will shine forever in the east, rather than be destroyed by the barbaric destruction of the north.
The idea is good, but the reality is ruthless. If you want to climb up, in addition to making meritorious contributions, there is another shortcut that is to bribe and buy a official. However, the problem is that Yuan Dahai has no money. He asked, if you want to be promoted to the rank of the rank, you will get one thousand taels of silver, and two thousand taels of silver to be promoted to the foreman, and if you want to become a corps, you will get at least three thousand taels of silver. As for the officials who are sentenced to hundreds of households and those who are sentenced to thousands of households, they are not something that can be bought with silver at all.
The Dongchang has the rules of the Dongchang. The more money the official market is, the greater the official you can buy. However, in the Dongchang, you can buy small officials and positions below the stall, because these official positions are not of rank and have nothing to do with the court, so you can arrange them whatever the Dongchang itself is. However, the officials above the stall are all decided by the factory, and they are all ranks and ranks, and they are really officials who take imperial grain!
Except for the eunuchs in the palace, these officials were all from the Jinyiwei, and all of them were Wei Zhongxian's confidants, and they were able to speak around Wei. For their own interests, these Dongchang's stall owners were very opposed to those latecomers in order to maintain their status. They wanted fewer competitors, as better, how could they make more and more competitors?
So if you buy a hundred households directly with the money, you don’t think about it. The only thing you can do is to buy a steward and a steward house to transition and wait for opportunities. According to the principle of clearly marked prices by all the people in the East Factory, combined with their own stewards and extortion of street vendors and scoundrels on weekdays, Yuan Dahai calculated that if he wanted to be a steward, he had to work hard for ten years without drinking or working hard for ten years, and the foreman would take twenty years. As a steward, he might not have to be 60 years old. (When he calculated this, Yuan Dahai had an illusion that he thought he was buying a house)
Ten thousand years is too long, so I have to seize the day. Yuan Dahai can't wait that long. The horse is not fat without night grass, and the person is not rich without wealth. He cannot wait for death. Therefore, he decided to make a big deal to solve the problem of lack of money at one time.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, the people in the East Factory are very arrogant and domineering, breaking their families and making money, and "no one dares to say anything about it." With this power, it would be a trivial matter to make some money! But in fact, no matter where you do it, you have your own rules. If there is no rules and everyone does it randomly, it would be really a mess.
There is no order without rules.
The rules of the East Factory are very simple. If the factory officials speak, the subordinates dare to do it; if the factory officials do not speak, the subordinates dare to do it. But if no one speaks, no one dares to do it. So before the boss orders, it is basically impossible to make a fortune as a lower-level man. Especially in the capital, if you get a man from the other province, you can get some benefits from local officials and knock some money from the victim. But in the capital, I'm sorry, there are officials everywhere, and whoever dares is really unscrupulous. Do you really think that there is no law under the feet of the emperor?
Hate, Yuan Dahai hates whom? Hate Wei Zhongxian! Why? Because Wei Zhongxian is an eunuch who has never been known before and has never been here! God knows what he is wrong with. After being promoted to Si Libing in the first year of Tianqi, he was promoted to the eunuch of the Dongchang, and he actually put the Dongchang on the track. In the past four years, except for Wei Zhongxian who said he would deal with whom he wanted to deal with, the fans dared to go rampant. If he didn't speak, the Dongchang would be fine.
It disappeared from the world, with no noise, let alone a blatant crime in broad daylight. This is completely different from the various unjust things in Dongchang that later generations said about the mistakes of the East China. Sometimes, Yuan Dahai even thought that he had come to the wrong dynasty. The era he was in was not the parallel Ming Dynasty, but another inexplicable and wonderful dynasty. Otherwise, why did his own experiences and hearings be completely different from the impressions in textbooks?
Because Wei Zhongxian's strict management of the East Factory, if Yuan Dahai wants to make money and buy a squad and staff, he must first consider whether the money is hot before starting, and whether the money will be burned out before he can get rid of his life.
Yuan Dahai has already understood what it feels like to "force to Liangshan" and that is, he has no way out and takes the risk! If he doesn't take risks, he will never have a chance to make a fortune! You must know that his Maocao is not favored by the bargains on weekdays. Apart from wandering around the street every day and recording the rice and vegetable prices of that day, he has nothing to do, and he has no chance to make a fortune at all. The nature of his work is even less powerful than the urban management in later generations.
Seeing those who were sent to monitor officials from various departments in the central government, as well as the prison and the Jinyiwei interrogated criminals, and the great benefits, but he could only get the filial pills of two scoundrels on the street, Yuan Dahai was so sad. When there was no one in the middle of the night, he would even cry in the quilt. What kind of fucking thing? Is there such a cowardly Dongchang man?
The call is not effective every day, and the call is not suitable. Yesterday, if you miss Wei Zhongxian’s good show against the Donglin Party, wherever you gain political capital and wherever you go to please Eunuch Wei!
Time is not waiting for me. I am a dignified otaku, how can I miss the opportunity? No, if I don’t have the opportunity, I will create it myself. There is really no pie in the sky! Instead of waiting for the settlement, it’s better to give it a try!
After lying on his broken bed for three days, Yuan Dahai pushed open the door, chewed a few bites of the dried biscuits that were about to go bad, and ran to the street to call the four subordinates of Zhengzhang Street to the tavern run by Widow Wang. After a sudden sip, he successfully told them to take risks with him when the four of them were dizzy. The scene was really indescribable. It could be said that the passion and ambition were glued to tears of sadness. When it came to the sadness, Yuan Dahai almost called out, "Would the king, the general, and the prime minister have a good reputation." As for the saying "How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan" is hanging on his lips on weekdays, it is no wonder.
After coaxing and deceiving these four guys who were as unsatisfied as him, Yuan Dahai took advantage of the fact that they were still on the wine, and coaxed them to leave the capital with him overnight. Then he rushed to Hejian Mansion with a quick horse. (He was afraid that if the four guys woke up drunk and didn't dare to take risks when they were beaten to death, then he would really have to pay his wife and soldiers. You must know that Widow Wang's money for wine was still on credit, and he could not find five bronze coins to touch his body.)
Yuan Dahai had already chosen the target, even Huang Quan, who was in charge of the Ministry of Works, had already found out his family's fortune and knew that Huang Quan's father Huang Yongtai was an old fortune in Hejian Mansion and had silver at home. Although the old man was a juren, he was an old juren from thirty years ago. He had never been an official and had no official position, which was no different from ordinary people. Such a family with money and no one knows it well in the face of the official is undoubtedly the best target to start, because they can't stand frightening, as long as they illuminate the sign of the East Factory, the matter will be considered as a matter.
Huang Quan did not offend Dongchang, nor did Yuan Dahai. The reason why he was stared at by Yuan Dahai was that Yuan Dahai often found out that he was eating in the most famous Eight Immortals Building in the capital while patrolling the streets. Sometimes he didn't count when he went to eat at noon, but he even called friends to have another meal at night. He was so refreshed when paying the bills. Every time he saw Yuan Dahai was jealous.
If you can eat in the Baxianlou frequently, you are really a rich man. Can he withstand such expenses with the salary of Huang Quan, a small small worker? Surely not! So, this kid must have money and is quite rich in his family!
You must not be exposed to wealth. If you reveal it, you will be thieves!
Yuan Dahai is a thief. He admitted that there is nothing shameful about this and nothing to be taboo about.
As a glorious and great man from the most famous spy organization in China, Dongchang, if he doesn't take advantage of his power, he will be sorry for himself, nor will he be sorry to the Lords of Dongchang, and even more so to the Lords of Wei, who was extremely greedy by later generations!
Besides, Huang Yongtai is not a good thing. Yuan Dahai has no psychological barriers to knock on his money and is very comfortable. As for whether Huang Quan will come to him later, he can't control it anymore, and he is not afraid of coming! He knows that the Donglin Party is now the tail of a rabbit - it can't grow anymore. Using the lines in the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is: Don't look at you having fun today, you're afraid of pulling Qingdan in the autumn!
Look, at most, the Donglin Party will have to stop eating for a few months. The Ming Dynasty will soon belong to the eunuch party! And I, Yuan Dahai, will also become a member of the eunuch party. No matter how bad I am, I must be the confidant of Eunuch Wei. I must not be able to fall into the level of "hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren". I cannot afford to lose this person!
