Zhou Zheng went to find Tian Zhenshu, and the two of them were in the Metropolitan Courtyard, talking about some things while walking.

Tian Zhenshu said in a low voice: "Recently, the relationship between the two adults and the eunuch party has been very tense, and the urging official has arranged for many people to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Cao Sicheng and Cao Yubian openly stabbed Wei Zhongxian in the court, even if Wei Zhongxian can't spare his hands to clean up the two of them now, the other eunuchs will naturally have to do something.

Cui Chengxiu was originally the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and it would not be too easy for him to mix sand in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

Zhou Zheng looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and said, "Er Cao has been attacked very much recently, right?" ”

Tian Zhenshu said: "Both the government and the opposition are impeached, I heard that Jinyiwei is looking for evidence, and the two of them will be sent to the edict at any time." ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, it was okay to arrest ordinary people and put them in prison, but it was impossible for a Zuodu Yushi to nod without the apocalypse.

"Either you see something, or someone tells you to." Zhou Zhengdao.

Tian Zhenshu glanced at Zhou Zheng, this was the second time that Zhou Zheng had nodded at him in an ominous manner.

Tian Zhenshu didn't know what Zhou Zheng knew, so he didn't ask, and said, "You have to be careful recently......

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng's footsteps stopped, because a group of people appeared in front of them, and the one who was surrounded in the middle was still Zhou Zheng's old acquaintance.

The people who were surrounded saw Zhou Zheng, and after being stunned for a moment, they came over laughing, and said in a loud voice: "Haha, Zhou Yushi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at his official uniform, his expression changed slightly, and then said, "Congratulations." ”

This person looked proud, got closer, his smile disappeared suddenly, and he said lightly with hatred in his eyes: "Zhou Yushi, when you see this official, you still don't salute?" ”

Liu Benxi, the original superintendent of Jiaxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province, was originally called a brother and sister to Zhou Zheng, but later suspected that Zhou Zheng had sabotaged his promotion, and repeatedly set up bureaus to frame Zhou Zheng, and he had disappeared for a while, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear again.

His official uniform is the official uniform of supervising the imperial history, but it is from Fujian Province! Judging by the expressions of the others, he should have been promoted to the chief officer of Fujian Province.

Tian Zhenshu looked at Liu Benxi with a cold face, and was about to speak, Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Did Liu Yushi make a mistake?" You are the seventh grade, I am also the seventh grade, you belong to Fujian Dao, I am Zhejiang Dao, I don't know, why should I salute you? ”

Liu Benxi sneered, stared at Zhou Zheng's face, and said, "I hate it when I see your face!" I'll let you be arrogant for a while, I know your affairs best, you wait for me, I will immediately seal your shop and arrest your people, I'll see what you can do with me! ”

In the eyes of many people, Zhou Zheng's biggest reliance is Wei Xizhuang, and now Wei Xizhuang has been imprisoned, so Zhou Zheng is a light pole, isn't it kneading at will?

Zhou Zheng looked at him with a hideous face, sneered, and said, "Have you forgotten the lesson from last time?" ”

Liu Benxi's expression suddenly became even more ugly, the corners of his face twitched, and he said gloomily: "Then you will wait for me!" ”

After Liu Benxi finished speaking, he glanced at Tian Zhenshu and strode away.

When Liu Benxi left, Tian Zhenshu said in a low voice: "He is one of the people arranged by the urging officer." ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly said, "I said why is he so arrogant, it turned out that he leaned on Cui Chengxiu." ”

"Be careful." Tian Zhenshu said, this is the second time Tian Zhenshu has said it.

Zhou Zheng hummed and nodded knowingly.

The two adults of the Metropolitan Procuratorate tore their faces with the eunuchs, and now the eunuchs are fighting back, this is a fight between the gods, and these little minions of them may be crushed to pieces at any time, and they have no power to resist.

Zhou Zheng chatted with Tian Zhenshu for a while, arranged Yao Tongshun's affairs, and then left the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhou Zheng returned to Zhouji and became an economy, and Shangguanxun was already waiting.

On the second floor, Zhou Zheng sat on his chair and said with a smile on his face: "Owner, the factory has been expanded, and there are enough manpower, which should be able to meet the needs of the salt merchants." ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup in his hand and motioned to continue.

Cheng Jing's work has been very progressing recently, and he looked excited, and said: "Our Zhouji's goods are very easy to sell in the capital, and those tooth merchants are still asking for purchases, and they have also begun to sell outside the capital, and each one is a big order, especially to the Jiangnan ......."

"I talked very well about the chamber of commerce in Taiyuan, they bought well, and they are preparing to expand their sales network, and they also hope to set up a factory in Taiyuan, because our delivery can't catch up with their sales speed......"

"Owner, in the first half of the year, our net profit was 110,000, not including those of salt merchants, and in the second half of the year, I am confident that it will be doubled!"

Zhou Zheng listened with a smile all the time, without commenting, and when Cheng Economy finished speaking, he looked at Shangguanxun.

Shangguan Xun is much more stable than Cheng's economy, he looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Dongjia, I have already formed the salt store and hung it under the name of a guy." At present, I have negotiated with 30 large and small shops to sell our salt and our weekly products, which are expected to open in the middle of this month......"

"According to the meaning of the owner, not only the capital, but also the Shuntianfu are in contact, and I am ready to negotiate a hundred such as 500,000 stones, and strive to sell them out within half a year, and at the same time tie in the goods of our weekly records, and set up a stable sales network......

"In addition, I set up a tea shop to sell tea from the tea estates I got from the salt merchants......

Zhou Zheng listened and nodded slightly.

With the huge benefits obtained from the salt merchants, the scale of Zhou Zheng's business expanded rapidly, and it was no longer limited to the capital.

Except for Zhou Ji, which is hung in the name of Liu Liuzhe, the others are all hung in the name of the Zhou family, the guy. In addition to the salt shop and tea shop, the trading houses set up under the Zhou Tooth Bank also planned porcelain, silk and so on.

The business empire that Zhou Zheng expected in his heart has a hint!

Zhou Zheng was excited, and said quietly on his face: "Well, we are now in rapid development, the more this time, the more stable, not only to maintain the growth rate but also to lay a good foundation, not to step on the air and fall, then it will be difficult to get up again." ”

Cheng Economy, Shangguan Xun and the others nodded, looking excited, they were also looking forward to the future.

Zhou Zheng looked at them, pondering that he had to explain, and said: "Lao Wei is going in temporarily, and it won't take long to come out, just like me before, take refuge, don't worry." In addition, the recent turmoil in the government and the opposition, as you all know, if you are careful, I estimate that many people will attack our idea. ”

Cheng Economy not only didn't get nervous when he listened, but sneered and said, "Don't worry, our weekly diary is no longer the previous weekly diary!" It has something to do with us, and I don't know how many big and small officials who take advantage of us, if something really happens to us, and we don't need the owner to come forward, someone will naturally come forward. ”

Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly different, he didn't expect this, and said, "Okay, you write a complete plan for me." Also, if you have a list of the officials who are related to us, give me a good idea. ”

Cheng Economy hurriedly said: "It's the owner." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Xun, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Shangguan Qing for a while, and was about to open his mouth to ask, Liu Liuzhen suddenly hurriedly came up, glanced at Cheng Economy and Shangguan Xun with a condensed face, approached Zhou Zheng, handed over a package, and said in a low voice: "Second young master, someone sent it." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Liuzhe's expression, took it and opened it, this is a box, there is a seal on the box, there is only one word: Tian.

This is something sent by Tian Ergeng, which is enough to bring down Cui Chengxiu!

Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged, he looked up at Cheng Ji and Shangguan Xun, and said, "That's it here today, if there is anything, come to Zhou Ji to find me." ”

Cheng Economy, Shangguan Xun saw that Zhou Zheng had something to do, and Qi Qi raised his hand and said, "It's the owner, let's go first." ”

Zhou Zheng watched them leave, tore open the seal, and opened the box.

Inside were stacks of official documents, letters, and dozens of them.

Zhou Zheng looked at it, his eyes flickered slightly, and said to Liu Liuzhen: "Go downstairs and guard, no one is allowed to come up." ”

Liu Liuzhen immediately knew that the matter was important, nodded, and said solemnly: "Second young master, don't worry." ”

Waiting for Liu Liuzhen to go downstairs, Zhou Zhengcai reached out and picked up the top letter in the box.

The letter has been opened, I don't know how many people have read it, Zhou Zheng took it out and looked at it carefully.

This is a letter of ventilation, the year before last, the imperial court investigated Cui Chengxiu's in-laws, Cui Chengxiu wrote this letter, and in the end, the in-laws were still arrested and imprisoned, and the letter fell into the hands of Tian Ergeng.

"It's a handle." Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, but it was not enough.

Zhou Zheng picked up another one, this is a 'letter of sharing the spoils', the year before last the Yellow River burst the embankment, the imperial court allocated 800,000 taels to govern the river, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils below, Cui Chengxiu's letter is to guide them how to divide.

From this letter, it can be inferred that 800,000 taels, 70,000 taels went into Cui Chengxiu's pocket, and 50,000 taels went into the hands of the adults in the Ministry of Industry, and 300,000 yuan was divided among the people below.

Zhou Zheng looked at the letter for a long time and put it aside.

Pick up one again, this is a half-public and half-private letter, about the construction of Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall in Henan, the letter of the political envoy of Henan to Cui Chengxiu said that eighteen were built, and the gentry donated 1.2 million taels, which also implied that Cui Chengxiu would send 100,000 taels.

This is both an official letter inviting merit and a private letter offering bribes.

"Interesting." Zhou Zheng looked at the letter and whispered to himself.

The fourth letter is a 'letter of selling officials', which is not Cui Chengxiu's, but his brother's.

Including salt class, tea class, Cao Yun, weaving, Honglu Temple and other fat shortages, each clearly marked price ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 taels, a total of twelve, without exception, all implemented.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, put it aside, and picked up another one.

This is not a letter, but a list, evidence of Choi Chengxiu's 'cultivation of private'.

There are not only names in it, but also identity introductions, from Cui Chengxiu's Cui family, to in-laws, villagers, friends, protégés, etc., a considerable number of them are not qualified to hold the existing official positions, all of them are arranged by Cui Chengxiu!
