Tang Mu, the political envoy of Youbu, who should have been sick in bed, was drinking a little wine at the moment, and said with emotion: "If you really see blood, the master is like a god!" ”

The master gave Tang Mu a full cup: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, since Governor Wang chooses to be domineering, then he will definitely not just be pretty." Lu, Chen, and Cha, one of them must be used for surgery. Chen and Cha are both official eunuchs, and killing them involves too much, so Lu Qianhu can only consider himself unlucky. ”

Tang Mu said with a smile: "What's more, kill Lu Qianhu, I don't know how many officials in Hangzhou City can breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Indeed." Master nodded.

The guests and the host were in a good mood when a servant suddenly handed over a letter.

Tang Mu read the letter and sighed in admiration: "This king has a good method!" ”

The master asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Mu said: "Mr. Wang invited the chief of the three divisions of Zhejiang to go to Chen and Cha to testify. He didn't touch a cent of the silver of these two families for the time being, and they were all sealed and sent to watch them. After the chief officer of the third division went, he had to help check the money of the family, sign and draw it, and then divert it to build the port. In fact, it can't be said that the house is raided, the clothes are violated, and the silver is fined. ”

"It's just a bit of a penalty." The master smiled.

"Hahahaha," Tang Mu laughed, "It's indeed a bit much, I heard that after copying all the floating wealth of Chen and Cha Er, the silver in the cellar has been turned out." ”

Copying the floating wealth of two official eunuch families is much more troublesome than killing a thousand households.

Don't look at the Zhejiang officials who are frightened, as soon as Wang Yuan leaves office, it will inevitably be an overwhelming impeachment recital. It is a huge crime to steal the property of the gentry, and Wang Yuan called all the three divisions of Zhejiang to witness in order to prepare for his own defense, anyway, the accounts are placed there and checked casually.

In fact, as long as Wang Yuan does not fall, it is a fart to seize the property of the gentry!

Not to mention the industry of the local gentry, Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, dared to play this kind of trick in the capital.

Two years ago, didn't Zhu Houzhao burn down his Qianqing Palace? Zhao Jing, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, was in charge of the reconstruction, embezzled countless project funds, and is now being impeached madly.

As soon as Zhao Jing died, Qian Ning forced Zhao Jing's wife and heirs to all be funeral supporters. Then took advantage of Zhao Jing's burial, and no one at home presided over it, and all the concubines and family property of the Zhao family were occupied. This operation made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty look stupid, but except for three or two officials, no one dared to publicly stand up and say the word "no".

When encountering unreasonable and domineering characters, civil officials are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and only dare to write them down in a small notebook, waiting for an opportunity to shoot the water dogs in the future.

……

"Lu Ying is dead?" Li Long asked.

The governor said, "Dead." ”

Li Long was suddenly indignant, slapped the table and said, "Good death!" This dog thief, I suspected that he had colluded with the Japanese Bandits, but I didn't expect him to be so frustrated, and he actually had three sea boats himself! ”

The messenger handed over the official letter: "The governor of my family said that it is extremely important for Haining to guard the thousands of households, and now that the thousands of households are vacant, I am afraid that they will be taken advantage of by the widows." Therefore, it is recommended that Jinhua Thousand Households be full of Zheng, and temporarily serve as the representative of Haining Thousand Households. ”

Li Long said: "I know Manzheng, he used to be a deputy Qianhu in Haining, and he is very familiar with Haining's military affairs, so he is the only candidate for the time being. It's just that the appointment of thousands of local households requires the approval of the Governor's Office, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, and I don't have so much power as a Zhejiang Metropolitan Division. ”

The messenger said: "The governor of my family said that there is no need to be embarrassed by Commander Li, but just ask the capital to report with the seal, and the governor will report the matter to the court." ”

"Well said, well said." Li Long said with a smile.

Whether it is to ask the Zhejiang Third Division to cooperate with the seizure of property, or to ask the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division to report the temporary position, it is just a process. Although Wang Yuan was very reckless when he raided his house and killed people, he was also very active in making up for the leaks afterwards, and by the way, he pulled all the officials of the three divisions into the water, and when the time came, no one could get out of the matter.

Li Long's lungs are about to explode now, but he has to accompany the smiling face to do so, he has a handle in Wang Yuan's hands in Beiguan, Zhejiang, and he is even more afraid that Lu Ying said something that should not be said before he died.

Just as Tang Mu, the political envoy of the right, said, as soon as Lu Ying died, many officials in Zhejiang should breathe a sigh of relief. But at the same time, those officials were also worried, I don't know if Lu Ying confessed to anyone, whether he left a bribery account book or something.

Sending off the Governor's Palace, Li Long sighed: "This Governor Wang is like a wolf and a tiger, I have never seen such a ruthless civil official. ”

The master walked out from behind the screen and said quietly: "Once this person loses power, he will definitely not die well, he is too unruly, and there are too many people who have offended!" Just like that Liu Jin, he is arrogant and known as the emperor, and once he is to blame, he will be cut by a thousand knives. ”

Li Long couldn't cry or laugh: "How can I wait for him to lose power?" I just beg him to leave Zhejiang as soon as possible, otherwise this capital will not be able to be a company. I can't sleep well now, for fear that this guy will suddenly lead troops to kill me, give me a charge, and then lose my head in a daze. ”

The master said, "It's not so domineering. ”

……

Boxes of goods were moved out of the Cha and Chen families.

The children of the two clans looked at each other angrily, but no one dared to make a sound, after all, Lu Qianhu's bones were not cold, and his eyes were not closed!

Wang Shao, Tang Mu, Yuan Xuan, Li Long, Min Kai, Liu Wenzhuang, Liu Rui...... A group of officials from the Third Division of Zhejiang were invited by Wang Yuan to cooperate with the "raiding of the house". Where the building is violated, all of them have been pointed out, this case is a nail in the coffin, the officials of the three divisions must sign, and Tang Mu, who is "sick", has to come over and sign.

After signing, everyone is their own people.

In this way, all the officials obeyed and supported the opening of the sea, at least on the surface.

Only Xu Fan, the envoy of Zhejiang, was thrown far away by Wang Yuan, and he was too lazy to deal with this guy. This guy knew that he would not kill the soldiers, so he had to stand up and show his sense of existence, which was nothing more than selling his reputation and inviting fame to buy it.

A few days later, Jin Xianmin, the governor of Hangzhou City, and He Yao, the director of Hangzhou City, arrived one after another.

He Yao is already that virtuous, arrogant and very high, and no one gives a good face.

Mr. Kim was much more tactful, often drinking with local officials, but that was about it. He knew that the emperor was bent on opening up the sea, and he was afraid that he would be angry, so he had the mentality of getting by, neither supported nor cooperated, anyway, he would return to Beijing to report on his work after a few years of confusion.

As soon as these two people arrived, Wang Yuan immediately called a meeting of the officials.

Broken Earth Temple, inside the Governor's Palace.

Wang Yuan went straight to the point and said: "The benefits of opening the sea can get a huge amount of money just by collecting taxes. Before I left Beijing, I agreed with His Majesty on the statutes. Customs revenue, the household department gets 50%, the local three divisions get a total of 30%, and the remaining 20% is all used as internal money (the emperor's private money). Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections? ”

"That's a great way!"

Wang Shao and Tang Mu, the two political envoys, suddenly looked much better. One of them came to Zhejiang in March, and the other came to Zhejiang for less than half a month, and they are not deeply involved with Zhejiang, so it is naturally an unexpected joy to be able to share customs taxes.

Yuan Xuan, Liu Rui and other officials according to the procuratorate were neither sad nor happy. They used to receive a lot of filial piety silver, and after opening the sea, they just changed the way to make money, and whether the sea was banned or not had little to do with them. In the past, he resisted the opening of the sea, purely because he was short-handed, and he was coerced by the local gentry after receiving money.

Now that Governor Wang has come directly, the local gentry no longer dare to take the lead, and these officials have gone with the flow.

The most frustrating thing was that Li Long, the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command, used to give the local guard post a piece of filial piety to the local guard no matter which maritime pirate used to pay him a piece of it. Not only that, if maritime merchants and pirates want to repair ships in Zhejiang, they also have to deal with the Wei Institute, because the shipyards are all run by the Wei Institute, and Li Long can also take dividends in it.

Now, it's all over, who will you go to honor after the sea opens?

Li Long is a military general, and he is not even qualified to wrestle with Wang Yuan. If he tears his face, Wang Yuan wants to move the officials at the level of the Third Division of Zhejiang, and he will definitely be the first to take him Li Long.

Alas, the official is not boring, Li Long can only sigh secretly.

Wang Yuan talked about the tariff issue, and suddenly said: "I plan to set up a tooth shop near the port, which is half official and half private, and it will be under the jurisdiction of the subordinate officials of the Hangzhou government. However, the official only has the right to supervise, not the right to set prices, and it is not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the dental industry! ”

Liang Cai, the prefect of Hangzhou, a Qing official, has long been pinched to have no temper. He only planned to sit in on it today, but he didn't expect that he would also be able to share the benefits, so he was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "What's the matter with supervision?" ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Copper, iron, nitrate, grain and other materials are resolutely forbidden to go to sea, and the subordinate officials of Hangzhou are responsible for supervising whether the Yaxing store accepts contraband. In addition, I plan to set up a quasi-warehouse in Hangzhou, and the grain shipped back from overseas must first be sold to the official warehouse, so as to stabilize the price of grain in the event of a disaster, and the imperial court can also help the people nearby. ”

He Yao stroked his beard and said: "Mr. Wang is thoughtful. Once Hangzhou opens the sea, grain production will definitely be reduced, and the people can be guaranteed food with a flat warehouse. ”

Wang Yuan said to Liang Cai: "The Hangzhou government will supervise the tooth shop and confiscate the contraband of the tooth shop. Second, he was responsible for collecting grain and preventing the grain obtained from overseas from being sold to private traders for profit during a catastrophe. Governor Liang, this matter is very important, and you need to appoint officials to be appointed. ”

Liang Cai hurriedly said: "I will live up to the trust of the general system of the king." ”

"Yaxing" has the meaning of intermediary, and sometimes it also serves the function of harvesting and selling goods.

There is a distinction between official teeth and private teeth, and private teeth don't need to be explained, and the official teeth have to say. For example, Ningbo City, whether it is the goods shipped from Japan or the goods taken away by Japan, must all be handed over to the official teeth of the City Shipping Division for disposal. How much to sell and how much to buy depends on the mouth of the official, and in many cases even forced to buy and sell.

Therefore, whether it was selling goods to Japanese envoys or selling goods to maritime pirates, the merchants did not want to deal with the officials, but collected and dispersed the goods through several major families in Ningbo.

Beiguan, Zhejiang, there was no tooth line in the Zhengde years.

But what is very interesting is that in another time and space, in the Jiajing Dynasty, where the sea ban was the strictest, dozens of private teeth directly arose near Beiguan - all of them served pirates, and some tooth shops were simply opened by pirates.

Nowadays, there is a large pile of goods outside the port of Hangzhou, which is messy, and must be managed by a large dental store. In the future, what goods are in short supply, what goods may be unsalable, the tooth bank can notify merchants from all over the country, so that the target can bring higher sea trade profits.

Wang Yuan was discussing the establishment of a dental shop in Hangzhou, while the official teeth in Ningbo were discussing how to make the sea yellow.

Hangzhou opened the sea, and the heaviest loss was Cui Yao, the eunuch of Ningbo City!
