Of course, Zhang Mingwei definitely didn't know Tian Hongyu, and was introduced by Fei Zhen'e, who stayed in the house.

He also seemed to hear something special from Fei Zhen'e's introduction, and he felt a little weird.

For this Tian Hongyu, he is not as strange as Zhou Kui, so Zhang Mingwei is not impressed by him.

But it's Tian Guifei's father, and the other party is not wonderful, and he came to visit his house, listening to Fei Zhen'e, after waiting for a long time, Zhang Mingwei stretched out his hand and gestured, and asked by the way: "I don't know if you came to me, is there something wrong?" Let's go and talk inside! ”

Tian Hongyu looked at the large group of brocade-clothed guards behind Zhang Mingwei, and felt that all of them were so murderous, and then saw Princess Kunxing dressed as a man, so he hurriedly said to Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong not only cured the little girl's illness, but also helped the fifth son of the emperor find the real murderer." I...... I can't thank you enough. I heard that Guogong worked hard day and night for Daming, and it was very hard. Therefore...... Therefore, he found a singing song for Guogong to relieve his boredom. Nothing else, farewell! ”

After finishing speaking, he actually gave Zhang Mingwei a feeling of impatience and hurried away.

"......" Zhang Mingwei was a little speechless about this, why was he so afraid of himself? And he didn't kill him!

Thinking so, he looked at Tian Hongyu's back and retracted his gaze and swept his side.

Not to mention, these brocade guard captains who guard themselves are all transferred from the Yongwei battalion. They have all fought on the battlefield, which really makes ordinary people look a little fierce.

Thinking about it again, it seems that there has been a lot of movement today, and it is estimated that it has scared Tian Hongyu.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't care about him, so he went into the house.

As for what Tian Hongyu said about singing, he simply entered with one ear and came out with one ear. Now that he has been busy with big things, and he has to uproot the eight major Jin merchants, there are too many things, so he doesn't have the time to listen to music.

After dinner, Zhang Mingwei looked at the map of Gyeonggi.

The eight imperial merchants, namely Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, are mainly in Zhangjiakou. However, they also have properties in other places, and over the years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth.

There are also many people under their hands who do this kind of smuggling business. To put it mildly, there are thousands of nursing homes and the like in the eight of them, and they are well-equipped, and they can still fight. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport large quantities of goods to Liaodong.

To move these eight imperial merchants, it must be to use the army.

Moreover, Huang Yunfa confessed that they have been operating for many years, and there are people who have been bribed in the local army. Even in the Beijing Division, there are imperial histories, officers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, etc., who received their money and helped them.

If you send an ordinary army, it would be strange to catch these people.

However, Ma Xianglin's white-pole army must have no connection with the Jin merchants and was loyal to the imperial court. At this time, the Beijing division had been transferred from Xiangyang.

Zhang Mingwei's plan was to take Ma Xianglin's white pole army as the mainstay, transfer 2,000 men and horses, plus 1,000 men and horses from the Beijing camp, led by Ma Xianglin, Jin Zhensun and Zhang Luofu respectively, and then send the factory guards and celebrant supervisors to accompany them to Shanxi to arrest the raiders.

In addition, Yan Yingyuan of Shanhaiguan was given a secret order, so that he personally led the cavalry army to detour from the customs to Zhangjiakou through the grassland, and be sure not to be run away by the other seven imperial merchants!

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that this arrangement must be no problem. Zhang Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair and rubbed his head.

For traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, the most important thing must be to do these eight imperial merchants.

However, these eight emperors can have today, and even in history, if Shunzhi hadn't sealed them, it is estimated that the world would not have known the things they had done at all. It can be seen that their abilities are not ordinary.

What surprised Zhang Mingwei even more, in fact, was that they murdered Lu Xiangsheng's father, so as to force Lu Xiangsheng to go home and replace him with Chen Xinjia to be the governor of Xuanda.

The reason is that when Lu Xiangsheng became the governor of Xuanda, he acted vigorously and resolutely to rectify the border defense. And the most important thing is the issue of money and food.

Lu Xiangsheng's approach is to increase the intensity of the military cantonment, and naturally it is indispensable to recover the military land that was occupied by the local Haoqiang, of course, those led by the eight Jin merchants. In addition to this, in order to supplement military supplies, Lu Xiangsheng also collected taxes in his jurisdiction.

This tax is not levied on everyone. Instead, it is levied according to the amount of land, that is, because of the grain policy. In other words, in the words of later generations, it is necessary to ask the rich households with more than how many acres of land to bear this tax.

It can be said that everything Lu Xiangsheng did during his tenure as governor of Xuanda was to cut off the financial routes of the eight major Jin merchants, and even to pick wool from them, which they absolutely could not tolerate.

Move Lu Xiangsheng, they don't have that ability. As for Lu Xiangsheng alone, it is estimated that he can beat eight of them, and it is very easy.

In the court, Lu Xiangsheng can be said to be single-handedly promoted by Emperor Chongzhen, and the prefect from the second year of Chongzhen began to be promoted, and everything he does can be seen by the eyes. Therefore, impeaching Lu Xiangsheng is almost a difficult thing to do.

So, they came up with a way, if Lu Xiangsheng's father died, then he had to get out.

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng was worried, and Chen Xinjia became the governor of Xuanda with his background.

All in all, these eight imperial businessmen can do anything for money.

To deal with such a group of people, Zhang Mingwei really spent a lot of thought.

At this time, after thinking about the specific details, his thoughts shifted again.

He already knew the importance of controlling public opinion. After the result of this investigation of the eight major Jin merchants, it must also be guided in terms of public opinion.

Originally, Lan Tianbao, who had read the book, was actually a leading candidate in this regard. After all, this is not something that can be done with strength. But he has been sent to Li Zicheng's side as an undercover agent, and he doesn't know what is happening now, so he can't count on it for the time being.

Others, Zhu Yujiao is smart and clever, but she can also do it. But she is the princess, not suitable, the most important thing is that her main job is actually to stay by her side, so that she and Emperor Chongzhen can be unimpeded.

As for Fei Zhen'e, although it is okay, she grew up in the palace with Zhu Yujiao, and she has never seen the outside world, and she is still missing.

………………

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Mingwei still felt that he had too few talents in all aspects. However, at the moment, the requirements should not be too high, and it is already good to have people who are in charge and fight wars.

He was thinking about it when suddenly he saw a man come in.

You don't need to report, you don't need to say hello to come in, except for Zhu Yujiao, there is no one else.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei continued to hug his head, closed his eyes, and did not open them to take a look.

Sure enough, I heard Zhu Yujiao's concerned voice say, "Mr. is tired?" ”

"yes!" Zhang Mingwei listened, put down his hand, opened his eyes, looked at Zhu Yujiao and said with a smile, "The main thing is that my brain hurts, and the things at hand can't go wrong!" ”

Zhu Yujiao listened and suddenly laughed. Her smile made Zhang Mingwei, who was familiar with her, feel a little special.

Before he could figure out anything special, he heard Zhu Yujiao say: "Since that's the case, Mr. will listen to a song and change his mind!" ”

At this point, he turned his head to the outside and ordered, "Come in!" ”

Zhang Mingwei was stunned when he heard it, what is the situation?

Then, he heard a nice female voice "yes" from outside, and then a person pushed the door and came in.

Under the lights, Zhang Mingwei was a little surprised when he saw that person, not to mention, like suddenly seeing a beautiful star in the reality of later generations.

"I've seen Grandpa Guo!" The woman stood a little away from Zhang Mingwei and blessed her body.

Zhang Mingwei immediately came back to his senses and returned to normal.

Compared with people of this era, he has never seen anyone, white and black. In terms of knowledge, even Emperor Chongzhen is inferior to him.

Therefore, although this person is indeed beautiful, he will not make Zhang Mingwei a pig brother.

Zhu Yujiao, who had been observing him, couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw it. You know, when she first saw her, even if she was a woman, she was a little amazing. And Guogong, as a man, only affected his kung fu for a while!

Zhu Yujiao was still quite satisfied in her heart, so she instructed the man: "You sing a good song for Guogong to relax!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" When the woman heard this, she also blessed Zhu Yujiao. Every move seems to be very disciplined and cultivated.

Then, she began to sing.

Not to mention, the singing is very good, at least the voice is worthy of recognition.

Zhang Mingwei was helpless in his heart, he didn't like to listen to the songs of the ancients, especially this kind of soft and soft.

But at this time, he listened to the woman in front of him singing, and finally remembered something.

When the woman finished singing, Zhang Mingwei was about to ask questions, but he heard Zhu Yujiao speak first: "What does Mr. think of her singing?" Would you like another song? ”

"No, I don't like to hear that." Zhang Mingwei's answer was obviously unexpected by the two women in front of him.

Among them, the singing woman listened to it, obviously a little surprised, it was the kind that she didn't expect.

When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she hurriedly asked curiously, "What kind of do you like to listen to?" ”

When the singing woman listened to it, although the surface did not change, she also listened with her ears pricked up.

When Zhang Mingwei asked, he didn't pretentiously, so he directly sang one of his favorite songs.

Since the crossing, he has been busy saving the survival of the world, and at this time, he coincidentally sang a voice, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the future generations!
