The third manager of Yunshang Qian Yunsan is the head of the account office of Qiao's family, a salt merchant in Taigu, in Yangzhou, and he is nicknamed "Iron Abacus Yunsan". Of course, he is also a native of Taigu, Shanxi, and is a member of the famous Jin merchants.

The Jin merchants were famous as the Eight Imperial Merchants in later generations, but during the Ming Dynasty, these Jin merchants who did smuggling business with the Manchurians did not enter the stream at all. The real Jin merchants are salt merchants! Two of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou were Jin merchants, one was Taigu Qiao, and the other was Pingyang Cao. The two major salts are always developed from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty when the Chinese and French were developed, more than 200 years of accumulation, all have a net worth of millions of taels, the real wealth is comparable to the country!

Although the iron abacus Yunsan is only the head of the Qiao family's accounts, he is also the eighth generation of the Qiao family's accounts, and the accumulated wealth is also around two or three hundred thousand taels! Ordinary rich people can't compare with him.

However, although the Yun family of Taigu Qiao, Pingyang Cao and Yun Shangqian is known as Jin merchants, their children and industries are all in the southeast. The children of the three families may not be able to go back to Shanxi once in their lives......

Therefore, the chaos in the north did not have much impact on these Shanxi salt merchants in Yangzhou, which really made the governor of Yunsan feel worried about the contradiction between the nobles of Nanjing and the dynasty that moved south.

In the opinion of Yun San, there is no way to live in harmony between Xing Dynasty and Nanjing Xungui! Because the emperor and the crown prince did not go south alone, but came with tens of thousands of people.

These tens of thousands of followers of the "heroes of overcoming difficulties" and "overcoming difficulties and righteousness" are the hearts of the dynasty!

With them, Xingchao will be able to take root in the southeast!

The so-called rooting is to let the hinterhearts of these dynasties replace the nobles who stayed in the capital and the guards in the southeast, and control the land and population of more than 100 guards in the southeast, and of course, the salt of Lianghuai and the golden waterway of the Yangtze River.

With the land and population of the guard, the two Huai salt benefits, and the Yangtze River shipping benefits, the imperial court after moving south will have a good life!

Therefore, Xingchao and Liudu Xungui will definitely fight!

And the four mountains and Shaanxi salt generals in Huaiyang have become a piece of fat sandwiched between the Liudu Xungui and the Xingchao!

The line of the dynasty may not necessarily move the four Hui Gang Salt Total, but it will definitely move the Shanxi Salt Total! Because behind the Hui Gang Salt Boss are Donglin and Fushe, although the scholars of Donglin and Fushe also control a large amount of land and population, but there is no ready-made system that allows Xingchao to control the land and population in the hands of scholars. And the guard system in the hands of the nobles is a ready-made system, which can be thoroughly rectified and mastered, as the prince did in the seven guards of Denglai.

In addition, the land of Juntun is state-owned, and the imperial court can organize it in the name of justice. And Mintian is different, the name is not right, the words are not good, and if it is forcibly organized, it will become Li Zicheng's second?

"Dong Weng, we still have more than 100,000 taels of silver and 70,000 taels of gold on hand, and if we want to load it on the ship, it will take at least a day."

Qiao Antu, the head of the Taigu Qiao family, locked his white eyebrows, and was listening to Yun San report the accounts of the firm.

Qiao Dadongweng seemed to have gotten some news, so he got up early in the morning and found Yun San, asked him to sort out the cash on hand, and then load it on a Cao ship and transport it to Nanjing.

But there is so much silver and gold, where is it so easy to carry away? And the prince probably set up sentry posts on the docks and canals!

"Dong Weng," Yun San said, pausing and said, "It's better to pack up some soft ......"

Old man Qiao was already in a hurry, and when he heard Yun San's proposal, he turned around with a blank eye: "Whose appetite can be filled with some softness?" Without 1.5 million taels of silver, can Wei Guofu let the old man go? ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, go get ready!"

"Whoa!"

Yun San answered, and as soon as he turned around and wanted to leave, he saw a member of the Yun family, Ding Fei, also running into the study: "Master, master, it's not good, the Jinyi Wei Tiqi has fenced off the garden!" Before and after, the water can't be leaked! ”

"It's so fast!" Yun San was surprised, and then turned his head to look at his Dong Weng, "Dong Weng, what should we do?" ”

......

"Yangzhou Wei commanded Xu Yongji to plot against him, and now he has absconded in fear of crime, Jinyiwei searched his mansion and found that you salt merchants had a close relationship with him, so Jinyiwei invited you to the generalissimo's mansion of the palace."

Daming Temple, in the Generalissimo Fujun's mansion, Zhu Cihong was sitting on the main hall with a golden sword, looking at a group of salt merchants kneeling below, talking with a pleasant face.

"Wronged! The grass people don't know that the Xu thief is plotting against ......"

"Wronged, the grass people are just businessmen, and they didn't plot against Xu Thief together......."

"The grass people have wronged ......"

"The grass people are really wronged!"

Of course, the salt merchants were treacherous, and none of them would admit to participating in the rebellion! This has to be admitted, and that is going to be destroyed!

"Oh." Zhu Cihong smiled, "Have you participated in Xu Yongji's rebellion, Jinyiwei will find out, the current Jinyiwei is different from the past, it was rebuilt by this palace, and it will not wronged good people, if you really don't rebel, don't be afraid." ”

Jinyiwei still has a ...... who does not wronged good people And they can't be considered good people, right?

The salt merchants were also speechless, but they didn't dare to talk back to Zhu Cihong!

Zhu Cihong nodded: "If you don't speak, you must be relieved." However, Jin Yiwei did copy the account book from Xu Yongji's house, and it had your names and the amount of gold and silver you offered! That's a lot! These gold and silver are obviously the military expenses of Xu Rebellion's rebellion! How do you explain that? You good salt merchants, what does it have to do with him as a commander of the Yangzhou guard? Why give him so much money? Isn't it to finance their rebellion?

The evidence is ironclad! There are account books, as well as the dirty silver seized, and the confessions of the Xu family...... What else do you have to say? ”

"No! Chitose Master misunderstood! ”

"We gave him money for ......"

A group of salt merchants didn't know what to say? Xu Yongji took their money to rebel, how can they clean themselves?

How do you say that?

said that he bribed Xu Yongji and the Wei Guofu behind Xu Yongji in order to sell illicit salt? said that Wei Guofu and Xu Yongji both took their own dark stocks and made huge profits? Trafficking in illicit salt is a serious crime, and the penalty for a minor crime is 100 rods and three years' imprisonment.

As far as the silver given to Xu Yongji by these salt merchants, the amount of illicit salt sold is indispensable, at least they have to cut off their heads and raid their homes!

It's a hell of a thing!

On the one hand, he is involved in the rebellion, and he wants to destroy the door!

On the one hand, a large amount of illicit salt is sold, and it is to kill the head and steal the family....... There is no way to live if you co-author!

Zhu Cihong's tone also became stern: "I can't be sure for a while whether you have plotted against the palace, but you have all sent money to Xu Yongji one by one, and the amount is huge!" Why is that? Why send money? Did you collude with Xu Yongji to sell illicit salt? What does it say in "Da Ming Law"? As a salt chief and salt merchant, you sell illicit salt, and the amount is huge, this is a capital offense!

Do you choose, is it a rebellion, or is it bribery and trafficking in illicit salt? ”

Co-authored and dead?

The four Shanshan Yan present were already shaking and couldn't speak. The chief managers, shopkeepers, and account offices of each family, who knelt down with these salt chiefs, were all taken care of by Zhu Cihong and wanted to be arrested.

Prince Zhu is not the kind of master who only grasps the first evil and never asks.

He even wants to be coerced......

Therefore, the iron abacus Yunsan, the big threat, has also knelt below from now on, and the little abacus in his heart has been pulled many times.

His master must be more than lucky, whether it is rebellion or selling illicit salt, he must die! And his coercion is not light, if you want to be investigated, at least spank and fill the army!

But the question is, is the prince's purpose really to put everyone to death?

Thinking of this, Yun San knelt forward, and when he reached five steps in front of Zhu Cihong, he was stopped by the guards.

"Caomin Yunsan, I have something to say......"

"Good!" Zhu Cihong nodded, "Take it down first and take care of it alone!" ”

Two guards stepped forward and took Yun Shangqian out. Zhu Cihong smiled and looked at the people in the hall: "How is it?" Who else has something to say? ”

Absolutely!

How could there not be?

The four salts are always dead, and the following Owaki Cong thinks that he can live! Not only will you be able to survive, but you will also have the opportunity to work for your new master!

They are all capable, otherwise they wouldn't be able to be coerced!
