Chapter 16 Permissiveness
Chapter 16 The people who listened to Zhang Juzheng's words were drenched in cold sweat, and Lord Zhang's courage was really too big, first he swept away the princes and nobles in the capital in the royal trade house, and then he had to clean up the royal family relatives who were sealed in the land, and came and went, except for us foreign ministers, the noble people were offended by him all over again!
The conversation has been completely blocked by Zhang Juzheng, and although everyone is worried, they don't dare to persuade again, so as not to annoy Zhang Juzheng and eat the admonition.
"My lord, before the fields are changed, how should these people who have no livelihood be arranged?"
"The imperial court is in a period of change, and it is inevitable that there will be places where there is inconsiderateness. Immediately draft official documents and send them to the yamen in various places, giving porridge twice a day, and in addition, it is necessary to closely monitor the speech of the people, but those who incite right and wrong will all be arrested and questioned by the yamen. If there is chaos, you can make your own decision and cooperate with the local guards to calm down. The official's request is very simple, in this matter, we must do everything possible to delay, whoever has a problem under the rule, the official will ask! Zhang Juzheng's tone was very stern, and if he didn't use some means now, the people below would know all day long that he was complaining, and he wouldn't find a way to share the worries of the court at all.
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, this is probably the only effective method at present. As long as the people have something to eat, no one will take the risk to do something.
Everyone got up to say goodbye and was about to go to Zhang Luo, when the head of the household department suddenly paused, turned around and asked: "My lord, the grain used in this soup kitchen is allocated by my household department or raised by the yamen in various places?" ”
Zhang Juzheng smiled, "There are so many rich people in the world, why do you need the imperial court to allocate food and let merchants from all over the country assist the yamen in giving porridge." This is also a meritorious thing, and I think they will be willing. ”
Everyone had a chill, the ten taxes and two that had just been made made made the businessmen lose a lot of money, and in the blink of an eye, they were going to make the family work in vain, but I was afraid that the businessmen would hear about it and scold the eighteenth generation of Zhang Juzheng's ancestors one by one.
Of course, this is just muttering in my heart, and I don't dare to say it if I borrow a few dares from the big guys.
"My lord, this kind of information has been sent from various places recently, and my subordinates suspect that the Wuwei Sect may be recruiting believers and expanding its power in a big way." Chen Xiao handed a few pieces of paper to Shen Chongming.
Shen Chongming frowned, and asked as he stretched out his hand to take it, "Are you saying that there is no movement in Wuweijiao?" ”
"Yes, my lord, many people in various places are struggling to make a living, and now there are many rumors, so that people are panicking, so many people everywhere burn incense and worship Buddha to pray for God's blessing. This has come and gone, and small deceptive organizations such as the Tianluo Sect and the Cangsheng Association have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, defrauding a lot of money and money, and even more demagoguery. Chen Xiao smiled bitterly on his face, and said that the troubled times are strange, this time he can really experience it, just a little thing has become like this, if it is more serious, I can't even think about it.
Taking advantage of his speech, Shen Chongming had already hastily flipped through the information in his hand. Looking at the Ni Ma Hui mentioned on the last piece of information, Shen Chongming couldn't help but bared his teeth. Talent, you can think of the name of this kind of gang.
"But there are mostly unheard of small organizations on this, why don't you have relevant information about Wuweijiao?" Don't dare to think too much, Shen Chongming looked at Chen Xiao with some confusion and asked.
"My lord, don't you think that there is nothing wrong with this matter?" Chen Xiao said in a low voice, this kind of thing has to be thought about by individuals, and it has no effect if others say it.
Shen Chongming's eyes blinked, and before he could think about it, he exclaimed, "Oh, you mean that they are hiding in the shadows, maybe these small sects with complicated names are the ones they have created?" ”
"Hehe, my lord, my subordinates also thought about it for many days before they thought of this section. After all, the current situation is extremely conducive to the development of Wuwei Sect, and it would be too strange for them not to appear. Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Shen Chongming nodded, "What you said makes sense, the deeper the hiding, the more it shows that their actions are not small, this kind of opportunity is not easy to grasp, then Wuwei is not worthy of being our old opponent." ”
"My lord, in that case, shouldn't my subordinates mobilize people to wipe out all these sects with messy names?" After being in a high position for a long time, Chen Xiao's tone of speech has slowly changed, just four words, tough and domineering!
Contrary to his expectations, Shen Chongming shook his head without thinking about it and said, "No." Not only should it not spoil their business, but it should also be regarded as something they don't know, and let them develop it at will. ”
"My lord, this dog's inaction is your old opponent, and now it's hard to catch their pigtails again, how can you do it if you don't clean it up?" The second brother on the side interjected, the behavior of adults has become more and more weird recently, this is a question worth thinking about, could it be that he was dizzy under the successive blows, right?
Shen Chongming smiled and said, "Although it is said that raising tigers is a problem, since a tiger can attack itself, it can naturally attack others." Now that the identity of this official is different from before, this kind of matter will be handed over to Zhang Juzheng to deal with. Okay, Chen Xiao, let's do what the official wants, let's wait and see the show. ”
After that, Shen Chongming got up and hummed a small tune out of the main hall, and his back was so chic.
Looking at his distant back, Brother Erdan couldn't help scratching his head, "Chen Xiao, did you say that he really couldn't bear the blow now, otherwise he would be so confused...... No, it's irresponsible? ”
Looking at Brother Erdan's puzzled expression, Chen Xiao smiled and said: "This is what you don't understand, the adults are creating an opportunity for themselves, although the cost is greater, but once it succeeds, whether it is the court or the people of the world, the benefits obtained are far from measurable." ”
After saying this, Chen Xiao also raised his feet and walked out, he had to arrange this matter well, and he must choose the most loyal person to do it, otherwise the news of leaving will not only ruin the adult's plan, but also be charged. In that case, it really won't be worth the loss.
The two of them are more advanced than the other, and the second brother is completely confused, what is this and what.
sighed, Brother Erdan, who has always been too lazy to use his brain, no longer thinks about it, and just follows the adult in everything.
Shen Chongming had an order, and Jinyiwei, who had always focused on Wuwei teaching, did not move, which could be regarded as a cheap Wuwei teaching. This is what they have been most worried about, otherwise they would not need to borrow other names to accept believers this time. If you directly use the banner of Wuweijiao, with the previous foundation, the effect will definitely be several times higher.
But now in such a situation, whether it is Zheng Shanchuan or Zhao Wenyi, they already feel very satisfied. Although a few places were suppressed by the government, without the participation of Jinyiwei, the slightest loss caused by this was almost negligible.
"Sect Master, in just one month, the branch altars in various places have recruited a lot of believers, and things are going smoothly far beyond the expectations of his subordinates." Zheng Shanchuan smiled, after so many years, there are few times when he is so happy.
Zhao Wenyi also had this expression, Zheng Shanchuan's side is going well, Cai Wenyuan's side is not bad, and the preparations for Hengtong Carriage and Horse Shop are almost there, and it can be said that the opening is imminent. At that time, as long as it is open, you can select those young and strong believers to enter it, first, they urgently need to brainwash them, and secondly, they will organize and carry out the necessary sergeant training, and when they are together, this is an army that can drink the people of the court to fight head-on!
"However, recently, yamen in various places have begun to organize soup kitchens, and our development will definitely slow down in the future." Zheng Shanchuan expressed his worries, the people are living in difficulty, as long as they can give them food, they can do anything, the ugly thing is that they have milk and are mothers, and then they will be instilled with the evil deeds of the court, but it will not be as simple as now.
But this can't be blamed on the people, after all, no one wants to risk killing their heads to rebel.
Zhao Wenyi had already seen this on the streets of Zhenjiang, and sneered: "So far, we can only do nothing, and if we don't pay some price, how can we get a return?" ”
This was said without a head, Zheng Shanchuan was confused, frowned and said: "The sect leader means ......"
"Poisoning makes the people shy away from the government's porridge, and when they are forced to be helpless, they will definitely throw themselves at us." Zhao Wenyi's tone was flat, but the words he said made the well-informed Zheng Shanchuan couldn't help but shudder. Poisoning, although it is easy to say, but how many lives will it take?
"Brother Zheng, those who achieve great things are not informal, if we don't do this, when will our ideals be realized?" As if seeing through Zheng Shanchuan's heart, Zhao Wenyi smiled bitterly.
"But the sect leader, doing this hurts the heavens and the peace, after all, they are all innocent people." Zheng Shanchuan still doesn't have much affection, Rugui said that he just took the lead in killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but this innocent harm to people's lives, after all, he still can't give up this heart.
Zhao Wenyi sighed and said with a wry smile: "This is also a way that can't be helped, if Brother Zheng has any good ideas, it is better to listen to it." ”
Zheng Shanchuan shook his head, if he had a good idea, he would not mention this matter like Zhao Wenyi.
The two were silent for a while, and finally Zhao Wenyi opened his mouth first, "Brother Zheng, you will rely on me for this matter." This would not only undermine the imperial court's efforts, but also make the gains outweigh the losses of those merchants who were spineless and willing to donate food for the porridge distribution. When there is a poisoning incident, not only will they not be able to benefit, but they will also cause trouble, after all, this black cauldron government will not carry it by itself, and a few scapegoats who will calm the anger of the public will have to be caught from among them. If the younger brother expected it to be true, the final result would not only be that the people were discouraged from the government's porridge, but even the businessmen were afraid to avoid it, and no one was willing to ask for trouble. At that time, the trouble of the government was greatly increased. ”
Zhao Wenyi had already made it very clear, and Zheng Shanchuan, who had no other way in his heart, could only nod and say: "Okay, but can this poison not be fatal, otherwise his subordinates really can't do this." ”
Knowing that this old man had a soft heart, although the effect would be somewhat reduced, Zhao Wenyi still nodded and said: "According to Brother Zheng's meaning, the younger brother will no longer ask." ”
