Under Cao Huachun, the commander of the East Factory, there are one member of each of the 1,000 households and the 100 households, in addition, there are more than 40 people in charge, foreman, and secretary, who are allocated by the Jinyi Guard, and are divided into 12 Zichou Yinmao, all of which are in charge of the government.

It stands to reason that these subordinates should arrive immediately after giving an order. However, Cao Huachun waited for a long time, and it was dark, but less than half of them came one after another. The others are probably not in the yamen, and this time, his face is even more ugly.

However, this is actually his own pot. Since the harmony with the outer court, the East Factory has nothing to do. It is rare for him to convene his subordinates to discuss matters with such fanfare, and when he encounters things, he usually just orders them casually. Suddenly, as soon as he was serious, he smashed the pot.

However, Cao Huachun would not admit his mistake, but just sat there with a gloomy face.

These people down there are a little uneasy. They had never seen such a situation before. I vaguely felt that a storm was coming.

When Cao Huachun's stomach was already "gurgling" by about two-thirds of the time, he finally stopped waiting. Immediately said in a cold voice: "We have bad news here!" ”

As soon as I heard this, all of a sudden, the people below understood that daring to love was that the factory had encountered something unpleasant, no wonder his face was so ugly.

Since the chief officials have something, it is natural that they have something. The so-called lord worries and humiliation, from a certain point of view, is also suitable for any group, but the degree is different from the severity.

"I don't know which one of the blind people offended the factory father, it's really bold!"

"If the factory boss says a word, his subordinates will go and get people immediately!"

"Yes, if you dare to offend the factory, let him know how powerful the East Factory is!"

“……”

Watching his subordinates stand up one by one and be filled with righteous indignation, for some reason, Cao Huachun felt a little like watching a monkey show, he immediately slapped the case, and with a "snap" sound, everyone in the lobby was shocked.

"The emperor has decreed that all our illegal gains over the years must be handed over!" As soon as Cao Huachun said the beginning, he immediately made all his subordinates dumbfounded, "But the emperor's grace is mighty, Kaien only needs to hand over the remaining unused illegal gains!" ”

The dirty silver obtained by the East Factory naturally cannot be owned by Cao Huachun alone, but the bottom level has a share of profits. That's why as soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded that his men also take out money.

Actually, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say that he wanted his subordinates to take it out, but Cao Huachun took the initiative to do it, it's just that I don't have the money to take it, and you can't have the money to take it. Another advantage of this is that there is a tendency to share the same hatred.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, looked at each other, and felt that people were sitting in the house, and disaster was coming from heaven.

Eat it, spit it out, and anyone will feel pain! Will be reluctant, unhappy, anyway, it's extremely unpleasant!

The No. 2 person in Dongchang, who was in charge of the execution, had to stand up and ask first: "Factory man, is this ...... What's going on? We are all well-behaved, and we haven't done anything illegal! ”

As soon as he said this, the others immediately chimed in.

"Yes, Gonggong, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Gonggong, didn't you explain it to the emperor?"

“……”

Anyway, they don't think they've done anything illegal, and they want them to take out the money, no matter how much, they're not convinced!

Cao Huachun looked at them coldly, let them talk, and when they couldn't stop talking anymore, he said coldly: "A few days ago, someone anonymously wrote a confession to the emperor, do you know? ”

Emperor Chongzhen actually intended to let more people know about this matter, so he did not suppress the spread of news at all. In this devastated palace, it soon spread all over the world. Therefore, this matter was also used as a talking point by these people in Dongchang after tea and dinner, and it was a joke in private.

"Factory father, should you say that they are the ones who told the emperor?" Someone couldn't help but speculate.

Cao Huachun nodded when he heard this, and said sharply: "There are people in the palace who don't want our family to have a good time, and they don't want the East Factory to have a good time, so they have told the emperor in detail about the things in the East Factory and the outer court!" The emperor was furious, this was a dereliction of duty, and he was very dissatisfied with our East Factory. What are the consequences, our family thinks, Dongchang should not be able to afford it! ”

If it is an ordinary person who informs the informant, he can deny it and retaliate fiercely at the same time. However, this informant is the palm print eunuch of the twelve eunuchs in the palace, who is also the emperor's side, and Dongchang has lost the advantage of identity. And it's still people who sue first, and it's not a false accusation, and then it's difficult to reverse.

Thinking like this, although they already knew what the emperor's disposition was, they still felt a little afraid!

"Thanks to our family for serving the emperor!" Seeing this, Cao Huachun's tone softened a little and said, "The emperor is also a person who misses old loves, so as long as we hand over the silver, we will not be guilty of the past!" ”

When he said this, he suddenly raised his voice again, and shouted sharply and harshly: "This money is handed over, and our family admits it!" However, while our family is not in Jingshi, he stabbed our family in the back, this breath, our family can't swallow it, what about you? “

If Cao Huachun is the only one who pays the money, then these people may be angry on the surface, but it is difficult to say what they are in their hearts. But now Cao Huachun has explained the emperor's will and put all these people in the trap. In this way, who can bear it?

Therefore, when these people heard Cao Huachun's words, they were immediately angry.

Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, and this revenge is not shared!

"Dare to bully the head of Dongchang, you must not bear it!"

"Factory father, subordinates are waiting for your words!"

"Who do they care? How can there be such a bully? They still think that others don't know about their own? Factory father, check them, right? ”

“……”

Cao Huachun looked at the scene below, and secretly nodded to himself in his heart. Only in this way can this group of subordinates work hard and die hard, otherwise, it will not be perfunctory and disobedient. After all, at a time like this, who will do the things that are not beneficial?

Thinking so, he remembered in his heart what the emperor was worried about, so he stretched out his hand to signal them to stop, and then asked them: "Tomorrow I will hand over the silver, and after the emperor has an explanation, he will go to our family to check whether they are still doing the same things before after that day!" ”

"Yes!" These people in the hall all roared angrily.

At the end, the commander of Qianhu hesitated a little and asked, "Factory Gong, the eight major yamen, where to start?" ”

Cao Huachun heard this, and said gloomily: "Our family doesn't want to be revenged!" Now the emperor cares most about the first is money and food, and the second is the army in Beijing, understand? ”

As soon as the commander of the thousand households heard this, his eyes rolled, and he bowed down and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”
