Zhou Zheng ruthlessly stripped the skin of the Yang family and the sixteen big salt merchants, and also sucked blood from them every year, which really hurt their muscles and bones, and touched the root.

After Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang left, Yang Huzhi sat up with difficulty, looked at Yang Huyi's back, and said, "Big brother, we don't need to agree to him. ”

Yang Hu touched his head, sighed, and said: "The situation is stronger than people, I have to bow my head, the Fan family has been raided, this Zhou Gongzi, it's really not a joke......"

Yang Huzhi's zombie face was indifferent, and he was speechless with a wrinkling of his brows.

This Zhou Zheng, accustomed to the general trend, walks in front every time, especially this time, he has pinched their life, everything, they can't help it, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to negotiate, so he can be slaughtered.

Yang Si didn't dare to speak, these things can be said to be caused by him, if he hadn't seen Zhou Zheng 'in trouble' and wanted to eat Zhou Ji, there would not have been so many things.

Yang Huzhi looked at Yang Huyi's silent, tired back, and said, "He asked me to keep an eye on the Yang family yesterday, it seems that he didn't mean to let us go." ”

Yang Huyi was not surprised, took the teacup and said, "This person, I'm afraid he has great ambitions." ”

Yang Huzhi didn't understand what he meant by 'Dazhi', and said: "His father Zhou Yuanshan heard that he was going to be transferred to the household department, and he was on the rise. ”

Yang Huyi nodded silently with his back to Yang Huzhi, and said: "I met Yuan Fu yesterday, and his family revealed that the emperor seems to have hinted that Yuan Fu should be Zhishi." ”

Yang Huzhi looked slightly startled, and said, "The emperor attacked Yuan Fu so quickly? ”

Yang Huyi shook his head with emotion, and said: "The situation is unpredictable, I also met Li Ge Lao, Li Ge Lao was very happy, as if he was going to be the first assistant, but I could see that he was still a little reluctant." ”

Yang Huzhi moved his body and said: "Now that the imperial court is liquidating the eunuch party, everyone is afraid of affecting themselves, being the first assistant, if they are not handled well, they will definitely be criticized by the government and the opposition, and they will all attack, and Li Ge is not surprised to worry." ”

Yang Huyi hugged the teacup, his expression was gone, and the embarrassment and smile in front of Zhou Zheng were gone, and he said with a condensed face: "We still have to stay away from the court, and it can be regarded as luck to survive this time." ”

Their Yang family and Wei Zhongxian's mansion, and Shoufu, cabinet ministers, etc., are too close, if Zhou Zheng hadn't gotten so many handles this time, they wouldn't have been so passive and miserable.

Yang Huzhi was also afraid, nodded, and said: "Yangzhou is our territory, as long as we go back, Zhou Zheng's hand will not be stretched that long." ”

Yang Huyi took a sip of tea, and suddenly said: "What he wants, I want to give him as much as he wants, and we must have a good relationship with him in the future...... I don't know why, I always feel that this son has an unlimited future. ”

Yang Si shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

Yang Huzhi frowned and said, "But I feel that he is too dangerous, and cooperating with him is to seek the skin of the tiger." ”

Yang Huyi stood up a little tiredly, turned around, looked at Yang Huzhi, and said sentimentally: "Don't worry, let's see." Didn't he tell you to stare at me? In the future, we can tell him about the actions of our Yang family, which is nothing more than some business matters. After this time, the Zhou family is going to become the richest businessman in my Ming Dynasty, and they won't worry too much about us. ”

Yang Huzhi looked at Yang Huyi's rare lonely look, and wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth.

Zhou Zheng swallowed most of the property of the Yang family and the sixteen big salt merchants, and his net worth was 10 million, not to mention 10 million, unless it was some official and wealthy families accumulated for several generations, it was really not much.

Yang Si lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

He knows Zhou Zheng very well, and he checked carefully, Zhou Zheng's career began in October last year, and in just a few months, he became the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty!

How many people can compare with such a means?

Yang Huyi and Yang Huzhi had a dialogue, one sighed, the other was silent, but they all had to admire, Zhou Zheng grasped the general trend is simply wonderful, if it weren't for standing on top of the general trend and taking advantage of the trend, they would not have been so miserable, let him slaughter.

Here is sighing, Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang also came out of Jufu Building.

After walking for a long time, away from Jufu Building, Wei Xizhuang suddenly shouted, pressed Zhou Zheng's shoulder, shook desperately, and spewed saliva in his mouth: "Old Zhou, old Zhou, amazing, amazing......"

Zhou Zheng was shaken by him, and hurriedly held him down, then wiped the saliva on his face, and said, "What kind of illness are you guilty of?" ”

Wei Xizhuang shook his head fiercely, forcing him to calm down, then rolled his eyes and looked at Zhou Zheng, and said in a hurry: "I don't believe you are not excited!" Calculate how much silver you have defrauded them? A million a family, to say the least, there are 10 million, right? There are 500,000 a year, that's 8 million, and if you don't do anything, you have 8 million, it's like a dream......"

Zhou Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "This is what Yang Huyi promised me, and it may not be able to fulfill it all, but there should be no problem with eighty percent." ”

It is impossible for all the sixteen big salt merchants to be obedient, there are always thorns, and then Zhou Zheng really needs to take a few Liwei to suppress them, so that he can be honest and obedient in the future.

"Even so, we have sent it, so much silver, I have never dreamed of it in my life......" Wei Xizhuang's expression was a little dazed, and the expression on his face was like crying and laughing.

"Have you thought about 30,000?" Zhou Zheng did not hesitate to strike.

Wei Xizhuang used to be a farmer in Weijia Village, not to mention 30,000, 300 taels, or even 30 taels were huge sums of money for him.

Wei Xizhuang straightened out his clothes and calmed down for a while, then said, "You plan to put them all in Zhou's tooth shop?" ”

Zhou's tooth shop, according to the original agreement between Zhou Zheng and him, the two were divided in half, that is, they got it from Yang Huzhi, and Wei Xizhuang also had half of it.

Wei Xizhuang is now powerless and powerless, and his identity and status are completely reversed, and he is inevitably a little apprehensive.

Zhou Zheng didn't know that he was worried about this, and said: "Well, you're okay now, go and keep an eye on Yaxing, Cheng Economy and the others are still afraid of you, with you in town, I can rest assured." ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't kick him away, Wei Xizhuang suddenly laughed on his face, hammered Zhou Zheng on the shoulder, and said, "You are still righteous enough, I didn't misunderstand you!" ”

Zhou Zheng was a little stunned, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Wei Xizhuang laughed, grabbed Zhou Zheng's shoulder, and said, "Let's go!" Drink and go, don't get drunk today! ”

Zhou Zheng was baffled by Wei Xizhuang, but he was really happy today, he had been planning for so long, and finally achieved the goal of the first step!

With this money as a foundation, he can leave with peace of mind and advance his next plan.

"Okay, I'll have a drink with you." Zhou Zheng also said with a smile.

The two brothers went to drink, but the turmoil between the government and the opposition became more and more agitated.

Because of the ineffective examination of the 'Wei Zhongxian counter-case', Huang Liji, the first assistant, was reprimanded and disgusted by the emperor, and the news of the imminent Zhishi spread in the capital.

Wei Zhongxian is dead, if Huang Liji falls again, the eunuch party will be completely finished, and no one can stop Emperor Chongzhen's liquidation of the eunuch party.

The elders, who were not on the 'anti-party list', were even more uneasy.

The tide of the government and the opposition is one-sided, Qingliu is going all out to impeach the eunuchs, except for the new emperor who has been promoted, almost no one who has appeared in key positions in the court before has escaped.

Even Zhou Qingli, some people involved him with the eunuch party, worked hard to impeach, and wanted to pull him off the horse.

Wang Zhichen, who was far away in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan of Zhishi, Gu Bingqian, the former first assistant who fled in a hurry last year, and so on, were all within the scope of the attack.
