Jinling City.

Households.

In a side hall, nine figures sat in the main hall.

The first person sitting in the middle was Shen Wansan.

Since Zhu Qiying handed over the information of the Jiangshui Alliance to him that day, Shen Wansan stayed in the household department and stayed for several days.

Here, he combed through the information of the eight great families of the Jiangshui Alliance and the more than 100 merchant clans under them.

If he wants to completely control this huge business empire, even he has to work a lot of effort.

There is no way, the industry under the Jiangshui Alliance is too big, almost monopolizing the entire market in the eight provinces of Jiangnan, such a behemoth is not something that can be controlled in a while and a half, and it will take time to slowly run in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the information of the eight great families of the Jiangshui Alliance has been handed over to you, I hope you can assist the old man to control the finances of the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River in the shortest possible time and reduce unnecessary chaos, here the old man thank you first!"

Shen Wansan spoke in a deep voice, stood up and bowed to the eight figures on both sides.

These eight people were all businessmen and elites carefully selected by the household department and sent to assist him.

If he is alone, he will never have great ability, and he will not be able to control the finances of the entire Jiangnan Eight Mansions.

"Mr. Shen is polite, for the court, for Your Majesty, we will go all out. ”

The eight people also quickly stood up and bowed back.

Shen Wansan nodded and continued: "According to the original plan, each of the eight prefectures in Jiangnan is responsible for one prefecture, and each prefecture has people from the household department to assist you. ”

"If you have any other irresistible troubles, you can go to the local Jinyi Guardhouse, and they will spare no effort to help you. ”

"When the governments settle down, you must pass the account books of the various industries under the Jiangshui Alliance to me as soon as possible, and wait for the old man to sort out and check them, and arrange the next actions for you. ”

"Mr. Shen rest assured, we will do our best. ”

The eight of them clasped their fists and nodded solemnly.

"Then please!"

Shen Wansan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes scanned everyone with bright eyes.

The next few days are the most important, as long as you can spend it safely, then it will be simple to control the Jiangshui Alliance.

........................

Time flies, and three days have passed.

These few days have been terrifying for the people of the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Groups of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears were stationed in major prefectures.

Closed cities, towns, and streets.

No one dared to go out, and no one knew exactly what was going on.

People spent three whole days in anxiety, and soldiers patrolled and monitored the streets and alleys of all major prefectures and cities, and people were strictly forbidden to go out without permission.

But when three days have passed.

The first rays of the morning sun shine on the earth.

When people woke up from their sleep again, they found that both the town and the prefecture had returned to peace.

Although there are still groups of soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth on the streets to maintain law and order, people are not forbidden to go out.

When the people went out from their homes one by one, through the proclamations that were issued, the people understood.

It turned out that after three days of lockdown, the entire Jiangnan Bafu has completely changed.

The eight great families of the Jiangshui League, which had dominated the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, fell apart in an instant under the order of the imperial court.

The officials of the prefectures and prefectures involved in the Jiangshui Alliance were dismissed one after another, and all the soldiers of the prefectures were summoned to Beijing.

However, some careful people found that the industries under the major families of the Jiangshui League, taverns, teahouses, and pawnshops were not seized because of this, but were still open for business in an orderly manner, and they were not affected at all.

Some smart people can only praise this phenomenon and never mention it.

It can be said that the past three days have been a great change and an earth-shaking change for the people of the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

But this change did not affect the capital.

Now.

Forbidden city.

The main hall of the Qianqing Palace was already full of people, and the black pressure was overwhelming, all of them were important ministers of the court above the fourth grade.

On the high platform, Zhu Qiying sat on the dragon chair, looked at the people below with glittering eyes, and then glanced at Shen Zhao again, and said loudly: "Shen Aiqing, let's talk about the situation of the Jiangshui Alliance." ”

"Honorable ......!"

When Shen Zhao heard this, he bowed his hand, walked to the center of the main hall, took out a notebook, opened it, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after these three days, the eight great families of the Jiangshui Alliance, as well as the one hundred and thirty-two merchant clans under him, and the mansions of officials from all over the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Lao Chen and his colleagues in the household department last night summed up all night, and all the assets confiscated were converted into 3.8 billion taels of silver. ”

"Three hundred and eighty billion taels of silver......!"

“..................！”

"Shhhh......h

Shen Zhao's voice fell, and suddenly the entire hall inhaled all around, and all the officials looked at him in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Three hundred and eighty billion taels of silver?"

"Oh my God!"

The tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty's treasury for decades is not so much.

This is the so-called millennium family.

This is the essence of the Maison.

It's terrifying, it's terrifying.

On the throne, Zhu Qiying couldn't help but swallow.

"Thirty and eight billion. ”

"My goodness!"

I'm afraid anyone who looks at this number will be shocked.

Even in the previous life, the richest men in those countries were just like that.

Taking a deep breath and stabilizing his mind a little, Zhu Qiying blinked and looked at Shen Zhao and said again: "All this silver tael will be put into the treasury first, just in case of emergency, every need for going out must be recorded, and there must be no sloppiness." ”

"Next, the household department will investigate and supervise the people and land of the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the people and land of the five northern provinces, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty must make a record. ”

"Honor!"

Shen Zhao's face was solemn, and he bowed down to receive the order.

"Yu Aiqing, let's talk about the soldiers of the Eight Mansions!"

Zhu Qiying turned his head and looked at Yu Yi, the secretary of the military department next to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yu Yi walked out of the crowd, also took out a notebook, and said loudly: "The soldiers of the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, except for the soldiers of the Hanwu Mansion and the Beihu Mansion, the remaining six prefectures have been summoned back to Beijing by the soldiers of the five prefectures. ”

"There is also a mansion called Lin'an Mansion, and the commander of the soldiers of Lin'an Mansion is a descendant of the Kong family, named Kong Mingming. ”

After learning that the entire Kong family had been arrested, Kong Mingliang resolutely led 50,000 soldiers to besiege the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Now he has been beheaded by the governor of Xichang, Yu Gonggong, and more than half of the 50,000 government soldiers have been lost, and now they are being escorted back to Beijing by the edict army to wait for disposal. ”

Zhu Qiying said with a cold face when he heard this: "Immediately send an order to Yuhuatian, the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River must be strictly investigated, and all the Jinyi guards from all over the country are dispatched, and they must not let go of a remnant who has slipped through the net." ”
