Chapter 690: Crooked
Wang Yinggeng knelt there, and as soon as he listened to Zhang Chaoxin's instructions, he knew that the matter had been exposed, and there was no room for compromise.
Wang Yinggeng thought to himself, if he was captured, I was afraid that he would not be able to endure the pain of flesh and skin, and if he leaked the information of the little son, he would not be able to escape the blame even if he died.
So Wang Yinggeng no longer hesitated, and suddenly he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper with lightning speed, and poured all the potions in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.
Although Zhang Chaoxin said that he was standing next to Wang Yinggeng, he didn't expect Wang Yinggeng to make any moves, and when he reacted, the potion in the porcelain bottle had been drunk by Wang Yinggeng.
Zhang Chaoxin is also a person with symptoms for a long time, and when he saw this situation, he knew that Wang Yinggeng had a terrible secret, which was to commit suicide to protect the person behind him.
So Zhang Chaoxin didn't care that he was the minister, so he came to Wang Yinggeng in one step, opened his mouth with his hand, grabbed a branch from the ground casually, and stabbed him in the throat, just thinking that Wang Yinggeng would spit out all the potion he had eaten.
Wang Yinggeng didn't resist, Zhang Chaoxin tossed, but for a long time, although Wang Yinggeng spit out something, but seeing Wang Yinggeng's face became iron-blue.
Zhang Chaoxin was also desperate now, stood up again, glared at Wang Yinggeng fiercely and asked, "Are you just dead like this, ignoring the old and young in your family?" ”
Wang Yinggen roared at Zhang Chaoxin with his last strength: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them in today." ”
After Wang Yinggeng said this, he kept spitting blood, then fell to the ground and began to convulse, and died of anger in a short time.
Zhang Chaoxin looked at this situation, his face turned blue, "Spread the order of the Qin Mission, and all the relatives in Wang Yinggeng's mansion will be put into prison. ”
After Zhang Chaoxin finished his instructions, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and got back on the sedan chair, and then the sedan chair man carried the Qin Cha and shouted, and went to the house arranged for him by the Yangzhou prefect.
The next matter of raiding the house went very smoothly, and Wang Yinggeng was also the leader of the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and he exceeded more than four million taels of silver from his home.
Zhang Chaoxin is finally relieved now, with these welcome silver, although he was a little negligent this time, he can also have an explanation in front of the emperor.
And Zhang Chaoxin quickly cut through the mess this time, and directly disposed of the leader of the salt merchants in Jiangnan, and immediately shocked all these merchants in Jiangnan.
Originally, there were still some people who were ready to move, but now the merchant gangs and chambers of commerce are honest, but they are afraid that they will be the first bird to be caught by Zhang Chaoxin, and they will be wiped out.
And the officials from all over Jiangnan saw that this minister was so resolute, and even Wang Yinggeng, the business leader in Jiangnan, was taken down because of his opposition to the imperial court's decree, and they didn't dare to slack off.
So the commercial tax in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River was implemented very smoothly, and this time no businessman dared to make any moves, these people were holding the idea of breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters, and honestly began to pay taxes.
As a result, the commercial policies decided by Jia Ke began to be implemented throughout the country, and the most important of them were commercial taxes, which were carried out most smoothly.
Three months later, after Jia Ke received the three-month commercial tax report from Jia Yucun, the head of the household department, he immediately smiled.
It turns out that these three months' taxes are already worth last year's commercial tax, and if this situation continues, the court's commercial tax can be increased by four or five times this year. If other taxes are added, the imperial court will be able to earn at least forty or fifty million taels of silver this year. And that's not even counting the agricultural taxes in the spring and autumn.
In addition to most of the use of this silver, Jia Ke has already made a plan, in addition to most of it for the construction of the country, disaster prevention and preparedness, water conservancy dredging, leaving more than 10 million taels every year, these silver saved for a few years, plus the grain and grass from the small southern countries, he will be able to realize the dream of the Tatars in the Northern Expedition.
Jia Ke has been fighting with the Tatars since he came out of the mountain, and at the same time, the Tatars are also Jia Ke's lucky stars, and every time he defeats the Tatars, Jia Ke can go further.
This time, Jia Ke was ready to defeat the Tatars, and then recover the 36 countries of the Western Regions, open up the land passage with the west, and restore the prosperity of the Silk Road in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Jia Ke was happy here, but some people were furious.
This person is not someone else, it is the little boy, this little boy is no longer in Yangzhou, but in the capital.
It turned out that this time Jia Ke's Enke, this little boy also participated, but his suspicion was too serious, and he would never want to expose himself until he had to, so this time he felt that he was okay in the exam, so he didn't ask Sun Yan for help.
As a result, this little boy was still too confident, although he was on the list this time, but he fell on the top three.
Now this little boy has spent a lot of money, so he has avoided being assigned to the region to be a county magistrate, and is now studying in the Ministry of Rites.
But since receiving that Wang Yinggeng was taken by Zhang Chaoxin, this little boy has cut off most of his financial resources, and now he can barely maintain the scale of his spies with his previous savings, but it is impossible to continue.
This little boy is walking back and forth in the house in the capital, and she is really uncomfortable now.
And the butler standing next to him was also worried.
"Master, if you don't allocate any money next month, many kites will be broken."
After hearing this, the little boy was even more annoyed, "What do you want me to do?" After Wang Yinggeng was arrested, we couldn't find such a big source of money for a while. ”
The housekeeper's eyes rolled, and then he said, "Master, can we find out our identity through Grandma Zhu and Miss." And Miss is now in charge of Jia Ke's inner mansion, as long as we can leak a little, we will not lack silver. ”
After hearing this, the little boy's eyes immediately turned red, and he turned to the housekeeper and said, "Don't mention this matter again, this is our trump card, and it can only be used once, do you think she can really cover the sky with one hand in the harem?" ”
When the butler heard this, he sighed and stopped talking.
"Let's start cutting off those unimportant lines next month, leaving only the dark lines in the court."
After hearing this, the housekeeper could only go and arrange it, after all, this was also the last resort.
After the housekeeper left, this little boy sat on the desk and frowned, he was originally ambitious, wanting to realize his father's wish and be the Ninety-Five Supreme, but he didn't expect the reality to slap him hard.
The time soon came to the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and during this time, Jia's mother had already asked Jia Ke several times to discuss Jia Baoyu's marriage.
During this time, Jia Baoyu lived in the palace, and began to go crazy with his sisters again, not only those sisters and sisters, but also beautiful girls in the palace.
As the queen, although Qin Keqing is very unaccustomed to Jia Baoyu's behavior, she can only be patient temporarily with Jia's mother behind her, as long as Jia Baoyu does not do too much, she will turn a blind eye.
Although it is said that Jia's mother protects Jia Baoyu, but Jia's mother has been a human spirit for many years, so she naturally sees Qin Keqing's dissatisfaction.
In order to calm the conflict, Jia's mother thought of letting Jia Baoyu marry Lin Daiyu quickly, and then let Jia Ke arrange a house for them, and then they tossed it.
And Jia Ke got Jia's mother's orders, so naturally he couldn't ask for it, he had long thought about getting Jia Baoyu out of the palace.
So Jia Ke issued an order on the same day to clean up the Nan'an County Palace, which was previously nationalized, for Jia Baoyu, arranged maids and eunuchs, and replaced the brand with Fuwangfu's Mansion.
After Jia Baoyu got the news, he also went out of the palace to the palace to see it a few times, and he only felt very satisfied, because after nearly a hundred years of construction, the scale of this Nan'an County palace has far exceeded many princes' mansions.
Then Jia Baoyu began to get nervous, he ordered the eunuchs who followed him to take away all the plaques and couplets of this Fu Wangfu's mansion, and then he personally took up the pen to change all the couplets on each door.
After the change, he immediately ordered the eunuch to go to find someone to make it, and he also sent a message that on the day of marriage, let the people in the whole capital see his talents.
Jia Baoyu was also troubled by Jia Zheng, because although Jia Zheng is now the emperor and enjoys boundless wealth in the palace, his Confucian problems have not changed.
When Jia Zheng was bored, in addition to inviting the old Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy to his Kangning Palace to chat and talk.
Another pleasure of Jia Zheng is to summon the two sons of King Fu and King Kang to the Kangning Palace from time to time to test their knowledge.
As a result, between Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, there was no difference between top and bottom.
If it is said that it is a poem, Jia Baoyu is indeed talented, which many old Hanlin are very admired. But in the middle of the Four Books and Five Classics, he is a little out of line.
Although Jia Huan's talent is not strong, it is 108,000 miles worse than Jia Baoyu's almost unforgettable brain, but he has an advantage that Jia Baoyu does not have, that is, perseverance.
Therefore, in the Four Books and Five Classics, Jia Huan has worked hard, although it cannot be said that he got up and climbed in the middle of the night, but he also studied every day without falling, and there was not much difference from Jia Zhu back then.
So the two of them have their own merits in this comparison, although those old Hanlin said that they thought that Jia Baoyu had gone the wrong way, but after all, he was the younger brother of the emperor, the son of the emperor, so he could only pinch his nose and think that the two were indistinguishable from each other.
Who is Jia Zheng? That is a square gentleman, although those old Hanlin people think that there is no difference between the upper and lower in their conscience, but he thinks that Jia Huan is ahead of Jia Baoyu in terms of reading.
So every time at the end, Jia Zheng had to reprimand Jia Baoyu several times, fortunately, now that their family has reached the extreme, there is no need for Jia Baoyu to study to glorify their ancestors, otherwise Jia Zheng's board may have already been hit.
