Looking at the exquisite telescope in his hand, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but ponder some out-of-the-box thoughts: "Very good, very powerful performance, and the appearance is so exquisite." This kind of unprecedented treasure, of course, has to be taken to the palace to show off, and it is not the king to be able to exchange more benefits. ”

Beijing, Tong County

A warehouse has opened its doors.

In the sun, the plaque of the brothers' store shines brightly.

Seeing this plaque, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel distressed.

Just one word.

To be precise, just the four words of the brother's warehouse snatched his unprecedented telescope.

Thinking of the plaque written by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but complain.

"Big brother is becoming less and less particular now. You want it, and I don't want to give it to you. But why do you have to exchange some fields, Zhuangzi, and other things? Just four words, only four words written a little bit stronger than me, just replace the telescope, this、This also seems that the telescope is too cheap, right? "Zhu Youzhen has some regrets for not being at the beginning." I really shouldn't show off in front of my big brother! ”

Zhu Youzhen complained, but Wei Zhongxian almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Brother Inn, listen to the name. There is also that plaque, and the ligatures are all written by the Holy God himself. This shows the brotherly affection of the Holy God for the King of Faith.

From childhood to adulthood, when did the saint give people words?

No, the matter of Qingzhou Mansion, the miscellaneous family has to chase it again. Sun Ming was no longer interested, so he had no choice but to take it. He must not let him ruin the good relationship between the miscellaneous family and the king of faith.

Wei Zhongxian got the details of the opening of the brothers' store, and immediately made a decision in his heart.

The establishment of the brother warehouse also caused a violent shock in the freight industry in Tongxian County.

In the pre-opening test, the unique four-wheeled carriage of the Brother Warehouse was just like Xu Guangqi predicted, and its flexible and heavy-duty characteristics were exposed. The four-wheeled carriage ran once, and the trucks of other warehouses ran three times.

With such a huge advantage, and the money (Dazhong Money) and personnel (Night Primrose) of the Xin Wangdi behind it, the reasonable price of the brother store is much lower than the psychological bottom line of other stores.

With a price much lower than that of its peers, the Brother Warehouse quickly squeezed out more than half of the freight market in Tongxian County as soon as it officially opened. This momentum of expansion has attracted too much jealousy from peers.

Tong County is the terminus of the Grand Canal.

It was here that the Cao Yun from the south landed, and most of the grain of the millions of residents of the capital was hoarded here.

The freight from Tongxian to the capital has fed a large number of warehouses.

In this era, small warehouses are not counted, and there is no one behind the more powerful warehouses.

The jealousy and resentment caused by the expansion of the brother warehouse are irreconcilable.

What is the biggest in the world?

The benefits are the greatest!

The contradictions brought about by interests are generally irreconcilable.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Youzhen behaved very easily. He had long been prepared for this clash of interests.

To be honest, Zhu Youzhen didn't think about avoiding it, on the contrary, he still needed this kind of conflict of interests to appear.

Unlike Zhu Youzhen's current ease, in front of Changchun Palace, Wei Zhongxian is really in a cold sweat now.

Just a moment ago, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse played with the telescope and asked very casually, "Companion, how can King Xin find a glass master who will be robbed and killed, my world is so chaotic?" ”

I don't know what His Royal Highness King Xin said in front of the saint, Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to honestly tell the ins and outs of the matter.

After investigation, the old slave also found that this Zhao family still has something to do with the White Lotus Cult. The old slave didn't dare to startle the snake. Wei Zhongxian glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and between his words, he had raised his expected handling method to a higher level.

"The old slave has directly arranged for officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress. In the next few days, we will be able to wipe out all these rebels. Your Majesty, please rest assured. Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said.

"Well, so be it. You go for it. The Emperor of the Apocalypse commented and stopped mentioning the matter. This sentence is already doomed, the Zhao family will be ruined in the name of the rebels.

Leaving Changchun Palace, as soon as the wind blew, Wei Zhongxian felt a cold behind him. With his understanding of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he knew that this matter was really on the list in the heart of the Holy Master. Today's questioning is a sign of dissatisfaction.

"We can't wait any longer, we have to solve it right away." Wei Zhongxian thought hatefully.

As long as the center makes up its mind, the execution of Da Ming under the control of Gonggong Wei is still very high.

Qingzhou Mansion, Yanshen Town

In the face of the anger of the Ming court, in one day, the Zhao family, the overlord of the town, was shattered, and the local people were cheering.

The Zhao family was exterminated by the Ming officials and soldiers on charges of colluding with the White Lotus Cult and attempting to rebel.

The men of the Zhao family didn't even catch the autumn decision, they were all executed on the spot, and the female dependents were sold into slavery. A huge family, the wind and clouds will be blown away in one day.

A township tyrant, facing the serious Ming court, can only be trampled to death, and there is no luck.

The fall of the Zhao family, a local tyrant in the township, has more or less benefited the local people, at least the overcharged taxes of the Zhao family have been cancelled.

Many local lawsuits were retried due to the collapse of the Zhao family, and many small families were lucky enough to get back their ancestral property.

Among the people who received the benefits, some people therefore set up an immortal tablet for the Duke of Wei, who presided over justice, and regularly burned incense and prayed. Xiaomin is so satisfied.

The capital, the residence of the king

Information from all over the world is gathered here for the first time.

Father-in-law Wei will never leave his name for doing good deeds, and if he gives His Royal Highness King Xin, then he must do enough.

The various information collected enabled Zhu Youzhen to carefully study the Zhao family.

Zhu Youzhen felt that the history of the Zhao family in Yanshen Town, Qingzhou Prefecture, may be a microcosm of the landlords of the Ming squire.

The status of the Zhao family is not high, but it is just a tyrant in a town in Daming. The highest status in their family is only a juren, and there is no Jinshi.

In the early years, the Zhao family was still very famous in Yanshen Town. But since he made a fortune by relying on people's fame, he has been powerful in the town for decades, making the Zhao family slowly insulated from goodness.

More than 10 years ago, during the Wanli period, the imperial court sent tax supervisors for the first time. At that time, the Zhao family relied on the familiarity of the land, and the local people were fierce, and coerced the local public opinion to subdue the tax eunuchs at that time, and obtained the power of Yanshen Town to actually collect taxes. Since then, the Zhao family has swelled even more.

In Yanshen Town, that is the existence of the eldest of the heavens, the second of the earth, and the third of the Zhao family.

During the Taichang period, the Donglin Party abolished the commercial tax and mining tax. Yanshen Town's tax books are all abolished. The Zhao family dared to keep the tax customs privately and continue to collect taxes in the name of the imperial court.

Of course, the taxes collected during that time, the Ming Dynasty did not get a penny, and they were all swallowed by the Zhao family.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian was in power, and the imperial court re-sent tax eunuchs. The Zhao family also offered a large bribe to Sun Ming, the tax eunuch of Qingzhou Prefecture, and once again obtained the right to collect taxes.

If you eat and eat a slippery mouth, how can you still restrain your appetite. Since then, the Zhao family has collected taxes in Yanshen Town, which has been more than 10 times higher than the normal commercial tax. Half of the tax went to the tax eunuchs, and half went into the Zhao family's pockets.

For more than 10 years, the Zhao family relied on the convenience of collecting taxes, bullied the people in the town under the banner of the imperial court, wantonly annexed land, and forcibly collected domestic slaves everywhere. According to investigation, more than half of the fields in Yanshen Town have been owned by the Zhao family. In Yanshen Town, the Zhao family is a veritable emperor of the soil.

In this way, the Zhao family became more and more unscrupulous in the town, until this time the king of Xin was provoked by the glaze craftsman.

The Yue family has all the secret recipes for glazed pendants, how could the Zhao family spend money to buy them? Directly accepting the Yue family as a house slave is how simple and efficient it is.

It is precisely this heroic thinking mode that led to the ruin of the Zhao family.
