Chapter 533: Unparalleled Power
The prefect of the world, mostly from the four products, only Jingzhao Mansion Yin, is the third product.
The three major members of the Manchu Dynasty all use copper seals, except for Shuntianfu Yin, and the official seal is silver.
The same as the governor of the world.
It can be seen that Shuntian Mansion Yin is expensive.
The capital of the most populous and majestic god in the world, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion is indeed not much worse than the ordinary feudal territory.
However, Zhou Changyi, the prefect of Shuntianfu, who is such a valuable city, was originally extremely powerful, his joy and anger were invisible, and his heart was full of hidden city and status.
But at this moment, his square face was full of anger and fear!
Don't talk about what Mount Tai collapsed on the top and the face did not change......
He looked at the handsome and indifferent young man ten steps away from him in the mansion, and his appearance and bearing were so outstanding that he was ashamed of himself, as if he was looking at a demon.
Zhou Changyi's face turned pale, clenched his hands that could not control the trembling, looked at the person opposite, and gritted his teeth and said: "Benfu, don't believe it!" ”
Since he was studied, he has studied hard for more than ten years, and he has been up and down in the Huan Sea for decades, how much effort has he spent, how many hardships he has endured, and how many hardships he has endured to sit in today's position.
Young children must be diligent in learning, and articles can stand up. Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars.
Since childhood, he has learned many talents and has high ambitions in his life. Others have swords, but I have a pen like a sword.
Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall. There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant.
There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant!!
The hard work and blood and sweat that a child of a poor family like him has come to this point today can not be understood by the Huangkou child who was born in the country and relied on the ancestral shade to ascend to the sky one step at a time? How could he be willing to listen to a person's words, and then he was captured, and since then he has been in prison?
This kid, why is he going to lock him up and put him in prison with just one word?!
Under the purple gold crown, Jia Cong, who was dressed in a golden silk python suit, was peerless, but his eyes were so cold and indifferent, and he said softly: "Shuntianfu sentenced Fu to surrender himself, and reported that the official warehouse of Shuntianfu was eighty percent in deficit." When the Hetao was hit by floods, the imperial court had to transfer grain from the official warehouse of Shuntianfu to the west for relief. Lord Zhou, you are the official of the seal of Shuntian Mansion, there is such a leak, what kind of quibble do you have? ”
Jia Cong said that, and a team of brocade-clothed captains who had been waiting outside the threshold of the mansion immediately entered.
A pair of eyes looked at Zhou Changyi, who was colorless behind the official platform.
"Zhou Changyi, please leave yourself some dignity."
Jia Cong lowered his eyes and said lightly.
This bland remark made Zhou Changyi's tears flow, and he got up miserably and staggered down the hall.
Seeing him describe it like this, Jia Cong shook his head secretly.
From beginning to end, Zhou Changyi didn't even shout a grievance, but he didn't believe that the imperial court would suddenly take down a third-grade member like him, and he didn't even have a court discussion.
He probably forgot that after the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, the Son of Heaven has been in charge of the military power in the world since then, and the nominal centralization of power has reached the peak level of nearly 2,000 years since the First Emperor.
Mo said that he took down a third-grade official, that is, Zhao Qingshan, the minister of military aircraft, who had never held a court meeting and asked the opinions of hundreds of officials.
And Zhou Changyi did not cry out for injustice, which obviously proves that he is not wronged!
Also, with just one Fu test, how can there be such a big energy to sell more than half of the official warehouse of Shuntian Mansion, which can hold 200,000 stones.
You know, it's not a one-year deal......
Thinking of this, Jia Cong developed admiration for Emperor Chongkang.
In the end, it is not the emperor who is better than the hands of women, and he didn't even investigate, but he saw through the dirtiness of this big case at a glance.
From top to bottom, there may be grievances.
But there will be no more than three people who have been wronged, and most of them are just small minions.
In this officialdom that pays attention to harmony and light, if most of the people in a yamen are rotten, then there is no outlier who can stay for a long time.
"Han Tao, take it back to be punished, and ask who they sold their grain to, and who else is hiding behind the scenes, and dig deep to the end."
Hearing Jia Cong's words, Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu made Han Tao's face change slightly, looked at Jia Cong and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, once this case is involved, I am afraid that a wide range of people will be involved. At this time...... My lord, I dare to admonish that it is impossible for the world to be clean and honest overnight. Moreover, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Daqian Shenjing, after all, stability is important. ”
Jia Cong didn't insist on going his own way, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Go up, pick out three or four people, and dig deep and dig deeper." The main thing is to ask which grain merchants they are colluding with, which is the main point. There was such a big thing in Hetao, the imperial court urgently needed to use grain and silver, and it was still early for the summer harvest, and there was not much silver in the treasury. If you don't kill more rats, your majesty will have a hard time there. ”
"Your Excellency Is Faithful......"
"Don't be verbose, just get on the errand."
After Han Tao left, Jia Cong said to Shen Lang: "Raid the house." ”
After Shen Lang glanced at Jia Cong, he nodded, lowered his eyes and said, "Yes!" ”
Shen Lang knew that in the past half a month, Jinyiwei had been expanding rapidly in Beijing.
absorbed many of Jia Cong's secret hands, and also allowed Han Tao and Yao Yuan to rebuild the 108 square brocade clothes in Shenjing.
There is no place in the expansion of these powers that does not require silver.
If it doesn't open again, Jia Cong will soon be worried......
……
In the fourteenth year of Chongkang, on the night of February 13.
Champion Hou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Jia Cong led the troops to attack the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.
Since the beginning of Zhou Changyi, the prefect of Shuntianfu, the subordinate officials of the prefect such as Yan Wenyang, Fu Cheng Lu Guangming and the Futang, the Experience Division, the Zhaomo Institute and the Prison Division, were all locked up and put in prison.
At the same time, the ambassador of the official cangcang of the Shuntian Prefecture, the ambassador of the treasury and the officials of the department will be served in one pot.
At this point, news finally came out, and it turned out that there was an accident in the official warehouse of Shuntian Mansion.
This news made many big grain merchants in the capital almost wake up from their dreams.
As soon as the news spread, there is no doubt that it is strange that the price of grain will not rise by 30% tomorrow morning.
People are not rich without windfalls, and they are rich!!
However, before they could give an order to the shopkeepers and announce the price increase of rice and grain tomorrow morning, it was reported that the four strongest of the top ten largest grain merchants in the capital, Zhu's, Mi's, Xu's, and He's, were questioned by Jinyiwei's house.
Even, the head of the third son of the head of the Zhu family was cut off on the spot by Jinyiwei, just because he tried in vain to resist the heavenly soldiers. An iceberg smashed on the head, and no one dared to move it lightly......
At the same time, the property of the four families of Zhu, Mi, Xu, and He was all copied, and the mountains of rice and grain in the four granaries were moved to the official warehouse of Shuntianfu overnight.
And the news came from the rear that it was these four families who colluded with Shuntianfu and resold the grain stored in the official warehouse of Shuntianfu for many years.
It is precisely by virtue of this windfall that these four have become the four strongest among the top ten grain merchants.
For a time, all kinds of scolding, shouting and killing were everywhere.
Especially when people found that the Li family granary and the Sun family granary, which were only a few hundred steps away from the Zhu family's granary, were still intact after a night. When Jinyi Weiqiu did not commit any crimes, he was completely relieved, and scolded Shuntianfu and these four families again to relieve the panic in his heart......
However, those who are truly discerning see another layer of deep meaning.
Can be ranked among the top ten grain merchants in Beijing, which one will have no one behind it?
For example, the Zhu family, the head of the top ten grain merchants, is behind the great order of the Zongren Mansion, and Liu Zi, the only prince of Yizhong in the clan, who ranks among the military aircraft!
If it weren't for such power, would the Zhu family dare to stop Jinyiwei?
In addition, standing behind the Mi family is the Ye family.
There are many people with the surname Ye in the capital, but they can support the top ten grain merchants and two, in addition to the Ye family in Yongxingfang, which Ye family is there?
Now Ye Wendao, the head of the Ye family, is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother died because of helping the Emperor, and this is the only thing left.
And when the son is a serious blood cousin.
Ye Wendao is not very greedy for money, nor is he good at power, fame and fortune, but it is said that he has a very strong relationship with the head of the Mi family......
As for the Xu family and the He family, there are Song Guangxian, the minister of military aircraft, and Jing An waiting for Xu Zhong......
The former was feudal three years ago, the cabinet minister of last year, and the minister of military aircraft today!
As for Jing'an Hou Xu Zhong, it was not conspicuous before, but now he is the martial marquis who is in charge of the Twelve Regiments and Battalions!
All of them are hot, and the power is monstrous!
However, even so, Jin Yiwei still said that if he took people, he would take people, if he said that he would copy his house, he would kill his family, and if he said that he would kill his head, he would kill his head!!
I didn't care who stood behind these four families.
Especially the Mi family, the Ye family standing behind him, and the relationship between the commander of the Jinyi Guard......
There has long been a bookstore in the capital, and the story of the two has been written into a very beautiful book, which has been spread everywhere.
Many years later, there will be people who will take this wild history as the official history and believe it.
But with such a deep relationship, Jinyiwei did not leave any dignity.
On this night, Jinyiwei stepped on the faces of the Shuntian Mansion, as well as the clan, the descendants, the nobles and the ministers of military aircraft, and stepped on the throne of unparalleled authority step by step, looking down on the world!
Until this moment, Jinyiwei can be regarded as the real king returns!
……
Daming Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Liu Zi, Prince Yizhong, Xu Zhong of Jing'an, and Song Guangxian, Minister of Military Aircraft, knelt in the hall, all of them were disgraced.
Champion Hou, Jia Cong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, lowered his eyes indifferently, and stood quietly in the lower east corner of the imperial case.
His young age and dazzling golden silk python robe are particularly prominent in a group of old people.
After Emperor Chongkang, who had already been furious with a burst of thunder, his gaze swept over Jia Cong's straight figure and asked, "Jia Cong, how much grain did the four national thieves steal from the granary?" Is it enough to pay back the grain stored in the official warehouse of the Tianfu Mansion? ”
Jia Cong was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, overnight, it is not possible to fully count clearly. However, if the accounts of each family show that it is not bad, the four families are combined, although it is not enough to fully replenish the grain stored in the official warehouse of Shuntianfu, but if you add the wealth confiscated from the four families, it should not be too much worse. If it's worse...... It's about 100,000 in silver. ”
Hearing this, the four people kneeling on the ground almost didn't vomit blood.
Even if the official warehouse of Shuntian Mansion is full, it is only 200,000 taels of grain, and the total is 200,000 taels of silver.
Of course, if you want to transport grain from various provinces to Beijing and store it again, the loss along the way is probably worth more than 200,000 taels.
However, the consideration of grain storage in official warehouses is more of a political significance than an economic significance.
According to the market price alone, the grain stored in the official warehouse of Shuntianfu is only worth 200,000 taels.
And according to the knowledge of the four people, there are almost 100,000 stones of grain stored in the four families of Zhu Mi Hexu.
And which of these four families is not richer than the prince?
The silver obtained by confiscating these four families will only be more than 200,000 taels, not less.
But what else is the shortfall of 100,000 taels......
This is clearly falling into the ground!
Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongkang's mad voice coming: "I believe that the four Aiqing will not do such a thing and do such a pickled bastard." But since you have opened your eyes for the four of them and become the backer of others, you must have suffered a lot of benefits over the years, and the three of you will pay for the 100,000 taels of silver. Do you have any objections? ”
The three of them almost didn't cry, they had a hammer problem!
It's better to take it out yourself than to let that bad grandson raid the house!
After the three of them left in frustration, a fierce disgust flashed in Chongkangdi's eyes, even though he didn't like it and wanted to kill these bastards, but now that he was still employing people, he had to endure the killing intent in his heart and tolerate these people for the time being.
After snorting coldly, Yu Guang saw Jia Cong, who was still standing there quietly and waiting, Chongkangdi's face gradually eased, but suddenly squinted his eyes again, looked at Jia Cong, and asked, "In the process of raiding the house, how much did Jinyiwei withhold?" ”
Jia Cong bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I should have intercepted thirty percent, but the minister remembered that His Majesty was going to provide disaster relief and relief to the victims right now, so only one and a half percent were intercepted." ”
Chong Kangdi saw that he was frank and swaying, and almost laughed angrily, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Lack of silver?" ”
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Originally, the minister still wanted to do some business in Jiangnan and make up for it, but I didn't expect to return to Beijing urgently...... Jin Yiwei is replenishing personnel, chewing too much, the minister ...... It's time to count the grains of rice. ”
When Emperor Chongkang heard this, he finally couldn't help it, and scolded with a smile: "You still count the grains of rice in the pot? Do you think I don't know what Qinxiangyuan soap does...... That's it, let's keep one and a half percent, how much silver is copied out? ”
Jia Cong said: "The four major grain merchants are the big ones, with a total of 980,000 taels of silver alone, and the bulk of houses, gardens, land deeds, shops, antique furniture, etc., are at least more than 4 million taels. In addition to the top and bottom of the Shuntian Mansion, as well as other officials affected, as well as several middle-class grain shops, a total of 1,457,600,000 taels of silver were confiscated. If you add the big head, it will be six hundred or even seven million taels. In addition, there are some medium-sized grain shops, which have not yet had time to be raided. And many people who are in the rice and grain business are not only in the rice and grain business. ”
When Emperor Chongkang heard this, he gasped, and Dai Quan on the side was even more short of breath.
How much silver is there in the treasury today?
Although the annual tax and silver can collect 30 or 40 million taels, only military expenses will have to be spent 40 percent.
Coupled with the expenses of the officials in various places, the repair of the city, the silver of the river workers, etc., at the end of the year, the treasury can have a surplus of five million taels, which can be regarded as a good year.
This also requires the peace and security of the country and the people.
If there is a war or a natural disaster, it is very common for the household to run a deficit.
Who would have thought that after only raiding the wealth of four grain merchants and some corrupt officials, they would be able to get more money than the current state treasury silver?
For a moment, Chong Kangdi could barely suppress his impulsive heart......
However, Jia Cong poured cold water on it again: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to sell these fixed properties in a short period of time. Especially the most valuable houses and gardens, most of the people who can afford them are also unlucky. In a year or two, it is almost impossible to make a move. ”
When Emperor Chongkang heard this, the disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed.
However, in the end, he was mentally tough, and he thought that in addition to recovering the grain that was greedy for ink by silverfish, he also lost more than 1.4 million taels of silver, which could be regarded as a windfall.
Emperor Chongkang's eyes narrowed, and he said to Jia Cong: "Return the cash you withheld, pick a few shops and houses to pay off, sell it to count yours, don't complain if you can't sell it." I'm short silver now! ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he looked at Emperor Chongkang and blinked, blinking again, his eyes were a little dazed......
Seeing him like this, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help laughing again, although the smile was very cold, but he was indeed laughing, which made Dai Quan on the side look sideways.
Emperor Chongkang seemed to be unbearable, and said: "That's it, I allow you to choose more, and find a way to make your own move." In addition, those medium-sized grain merchants have to pay close attention to it again, how can they easily let go of the grain that dares to be greedy? ”
What else could Jia Cong do, so he had to bow down and say, "The minister obeys the order, thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”
