Chapter 399

Of course, Liu Yuanqiao will not be so superficial. He thinks that after finding a good ancestor for himself, he can rebel and become an emperor. This is only the first step for him to have an evil heart. He is doing it quietly.

Liu Yuanqiao also knew that if he wanted to succeed in the rebellion, he still had to build his own army. The Liu family used to be a rich family. So many people were making their own ideas, but since they established their own army and successfully established their own reputation, no one dared to make their own ideas. After they have successfully established their foothold, They have become a generation of giant valves. Only they make other people's ideas, and no one makes their ideas. For example, even if their silver hatching event is very successful, even if some people suspect that it was the Liu family. They have such great power and have done so many things that many people dare not summon them.

You should know that Liu Yuanqiao knows one thing, that is, if he suspects that a person is doing this, he will directly abduct you and torture you. If he arbitrarily arrests your people for torture, he can always find out something. This is also the standard routine of the government, but their Liu family is so rich and powerful and has military power, who dares to arrest Liu BU for torture? Who dares to catch him? I believe even the Special Envoy Wu Zongda appointed by the imperial court to deal with this matter dared not do so.

The Liu family successfully directed a farce like incubating silver, which successfully swept away a lot of silver, resulting in the economic crisis in Jiangnan and the decline of people's livelihood. After they caused such a thing, the imperial court actually took such weak measures, which made them feel that the imperial court had no strength and was at a loss.

That's why he has no respect. Liu Yuanqiao is restless now. With so much silver, they must expand the army and expand more troops according to the way they trained their servants before. As long as their Liu family army has 100000 troops in hand, what's terrible.

Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao are equivalent to sworn brothers. Their friendship has been very good. After becoming their children's relatives, they have become the object of everything.

Zheng Zhibao was originally one of the bold and evil pirate kings. Since he had so much silver, he had such an idea. He was naturally ambitious. If Liu Bu asked them to find a way to rebel before he got so much silver, Zheng Zhibao would not agree. He would not dare, However, seeing that Liu Bu got so much silver, he had more than Taicang of the imperial court. He could not help but have his own idea.

When they were pirates at sea, they lived a happy and carefree life, but they were precarious. They took refuge in the imperial court because of their respect and awe for the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. After they took refuge in the imperial court and became officials, they found that the imperial court was not as powerful and powerful as they thought. They took the initiative to take refuge here, In fact, they are a little tied up and can't do whatever they want. You know, although they have become no small officials, they suffer extremely and are subject to this class of literary officials everywhere.

Fortunately, these officials are very greedy. Their brothers have become chief soldiers by bribing them one after another, which has made the Zheng family a famous family one by one. However, when people's ambitions and desires can be filled, they managed to climb to this place and see more scenery. When they found that they were standing high, When they can get more benefits and see more scenery, how can they stop making progress?

Moreover, Zheng Zhibao can see that the Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse day by day, and there are signs of decline. Just like the Tang Dynasty, after the an Shi rebellion, went to the situation of separation of vassal towns, they are qualified and capable to become vassal towns. As long as they have soldiers and military strength, the court must respect them and fear them. Liu Bu is his son-in-law, He will certainly give his full support.

Liu Bu and his people will certainly have some problems when they spend this money in Jiangnan, but they have no problem when they spend this money in Shandong and the east third house. You know, the East Third House has let them run without water, and has become a relatively independent and closed society. They are the rule makers here, And won the support of the people.

They succeeded in blocking the hand extended by the imperial court here, cutting off the prestige of the imperial court and establishing their own prestige. Now the people here would rather believe in the Liu family than the imperial court.

Besides, the Liu family here is the richest family in this land. It's not unusual that they have silver.

It may be taboo for them to spend this money in other places, but after they melted the silver again in the east third house, they melted it into new silver ingots. They had no problem spending this silver.

In addition, Liu BU should consider the issue of low-key in Jiangnan and Yangzhou, but in the east third house, Liu Yuanqiao doesn't have to consider such a problem at all. Even if he has taboos, he also has the method to spend his money. For example, they have been doing overseas trade, so they can export their goods and materials to Japan, North Korea and even Southeast Asia, They can send money to these places to spend.

It is taboo to use a lot in Daming, but it will not be taboo to use it overseas. Moreover, in places like dongsanfu, there is no taboo to use it within the sphere of influence of the Liu family, right? So you don't have to worry about these people?

This is also Liu Yuanqiao. After he had money, he spent it very happily. He immediately customized more cannons and guns from the Portuguese in Macao.

Originally, the Portuguese always followed the agreement with the Ming government and would not sell weapons to any force of the Ming Dynasty. Except the Ming court, they would be expelled by the Ming court. However, recently, they can see that the prestige of the Ming court is changing day by day, and the Portuguese's current power, They have also been challenged by the Dutch, a small power rising in Nanyang. Even their hub city of Malacca in Nanyang has been occupied by the Portuguese, which is basically equivalent to cutting off and shaking the colonial system they have operated in the East for hundreds of years. Under the current situation, as long as they can change money, they sell everything they dare not sell.

Moreover, the Liu family is the largest seller after the imperial court. It is said that it is second only to the imperial court. That is a polite word. The Liu family is their biggest customer. When the imperial court sells these weapons, it is stingy. Moreover, the official in charge of the purchase explicitly requests that they take back the deduction. After seven counts and eight counts, they can't earn much.

The Liu family placed a lot of orders at once, but Liu Yuanqiao and Liu Bu both considered that their power was so huge that they could not rely on the Portuguese for a long time. Although they also successfully established their own fire gun factory and gun factory, they produced weapons, It is still not as good as these Westerners. At least at present, it is far worse than the other party. There are problems such as blasting and so on.

However, while they are buying, they are also copying themselves. If it is someone else, they will not be able to support such a big scene because of the problem of silver. However, for the Liu family now, money is not a problem. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

In this case, they are considering expanding their arsenal to make more weapons, but the most important thing is to obtain technicians and technical resources from the Portuguese and be able to make the same level of weapons by themselves, which is what they want.

In many people's eyes, raising a family and an army is very taboo, which can easily bring trouble and trouble to themselves. However, in the process of raising an army, the Liu family took advantage of themselves and gained more things. Such things make them very complacent and confident, They are also eager to have more troops and more territory.

Therefore, after Liu Yuanqiao had so much silver, he really worked hard and spent it on a large scale. When the silver first entered their Liu family's warehouse, he immediately took it out for use. However, he didn't want to leave the silver in the warehouse, make it moldy and store it.

Liu Yuanqiao is more shrewd than anyone. That is, he realizes that silver is silver when it costs. If you don't spend it, it's stone. His son of Liu Yuanqiao finally earned the money back. What he wants to do is to spend the money and turn it into strength to make their Liu family stronger.

At present, the Liu family has its own military and administrative system. They also dominate the East Third government. They have a firm foothold in this area. It is a little difficult for anyone to shake them. After all, they control the affairs of the military and political circles, which is an unusual taboo of the Imperial court, but if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, they would have been impeached long ago, They have been punished for a long time, but now Daming has too many problems, too many problems, including the economic crisis caused by bandits and the incubation of silver, and the Mongols and JianNu are eyeing. They can pay taxes in the peaceful places such as the East Sanfu. Although they know that there will be problems in the future, that will be the future, What they urgently need to solve is the immediate thing. As long as they solve the immediate thing, they can solve the future.

Such a situation has given them a rare opportunity for development. They all know that this is a rare time for them to achieve peaceful development. I believe that when Chao tingteng comes, he will clean them up, which is the end of their good days. In this case, it would be foolish for them not to seize the time and work quickly.
