The drama of the art troupe on the stage is so novel, many people in the audience watch it with relish, but some people are ashamed and restless.

For example, the soldiers of Xuanfu, the female soldiers on the stage all sang "Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned" with the army, they surrendered, ashamed!

What is more uncomfortable than shame is that they are restless, those merchants in Xuanfu City, Chongzhen specially let them sit in the front, and they are called VIP seats.

But this VIP seat, what I watched was adapted from the "Eight Great Profiteers Collaborated with the Enemy and Betrayed the Country" by Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei changed the adulterous image of the usual traitor and evil, and became a hero of investigating and dealing with profiteers.

Tell me how this makes them not fidget, and how they can stand it!

No, Boss Zhao, the largest grain merchant in Xuanfu, kept wiping his sweat in winter, Boss Fan, a salt merchant, drank tea and poured out most of the cups because of shivering, and the iron merchant Gu Quan wanted to kneel down several times but was called by Chongzhen.

I thought that the eight Jin merchants were raided by the imperial court, and the market in Zhangjiakou was their biggest, but now it seems that this money is better than not earning.

Chongzhen hummed the tune from "The Eight Great Profiteers Collaborated with the Enemy and Betrayed the Country", "That Jinyi Guard is like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, and finishing the eight profiteers who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country in one pot" and asked the bosses of Xuanfu: "A few bosses, is the art troupe not acting well enough, I look at you absent-mindedly?" ”

Gu Quan, Boss Zhao, Boss Fan and others had no choice but to wipe their sweat and replied: "The art troupe performed very well, performed very well!" ”

It's really an official who crushes people to death, not to mention the emperor, in the face of the embarrassment of these businessmen, Chongzhen smiled and said, "The acting is really good." The imperial court clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to sell strategic materials such as salt, iron, and grain outside the customs. In the past few years, how many people in Daming have starved to death and froze to death, and the Qing demon is good, and so much food has emerged from the bitter cold land. Therefore, these eight profiteers collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and they were innocent of death. But as the saying goes, people don't do bad things, and they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but I look at you one by one, what are you afraid of becoming when you watch a play, you tell me about you Boss Zhao, it is so cold in this winter, what are you sweating so much for; And you, Boss Fan, do you think this tea is poisonous, you can pour more than half of it when you drink tea; Boss Gu, how many times have I said that if you watch the show well, you can watch the show well, but you have to kneel down for me again and again, tell me, did you also make a deal of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country behind the back of the court? ”

When these bosses heard Chongzhen say this, they quickly knelt down and said, "The grass people never dare to do such a traitorous thing!" ”

Although they said this, even if they didn't have the energy to collude with the Qing Demon to do business like the eight big profiteers, their business was more or less related to these eight profiteers.

Chongzhen didn't want to scare people to death, seeing that these businessmen were scared like this, if any of them had a bad heart, they would probably be scared to death, so he said to them: "Okay, get up, this drama is almost over." I will leave Xuanfu for Datong tomorrow, so I would like to invite you to the General Military Mansion for a light meal and discuss some things. ”

If the emperor wants to invite him to dinner, he can only go, otherwise what else can these businessmen do. They didn't want to come to the theater either.

Chongzhen said to Zhao Zhongguo, the new governor of Xuanfu, that if there was one less businessman who didn't come to the play, Zhao Zhongguo's ability was insufficient. Zhao Zhongguo said to these businessmen, whoever doesn't go will not give the emperor a son, and he will not give Zhao Zhongguo face, and he will not want to do business in Xuanfu in the future!

These businessmen didn't dare to offend the emperor or Zhao Zhongguo, so they all obediently went to the play.

Please watch the drama is so tough, do you dare not go to dinner? They had no choice but to obediently follow Chongzhen to the General Soldier's Mansion!

When he arrived at the General Soldier's Mansion, Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense, he was still in a hurry, and he didn't want to waste too much time with these people, so he said: "I am going to conquer the thieves in the world this time, this thief will not die, and your business is not easy to do, don't you say?" ”

These businessmen all replied: "Yes, yes, the emperor will be able to win a big victory!" ”

Chongzhen continued: "I went out to do business so that you can do business well, but I went on the expedition, Tianziwei needs military salaries and military rations, and now Li Zicheng is in trouble in Henan, Shaanxi, Zhu Yousong and Zhu Changshu are rebelling in Jiangnan, and the imperial court does not receive much tax, so I hope you can donate eighty percent of your family's grain and silver, and in return, I will set up a grain bureau, a salt industry bureau, and an iron bureau in the future, and these businesses of the imperial court will be handed over to you to do, what do you think?" ”

Probably! These businessmen almost didn't vomit blood, what is the concept of eighty percent, and the two percent left behind are just enough for them to live, and they return to the pre-liberation period overnight!

They are silent, eighty percent is too ruthless!

Chongzhen saw that these bosses were silent, and they all killed monkeys and set an example for chickens a few times, and you chickens don't have a long memory! Don't kill monkeys and make an example of chickens today, let's make an example of chickens and monkeys! said to Boss Fan: "Boss Fan, let's make a statement first, eighty percent, how much money can your family donate?" ”

Fan boss is a salt merchant, the emperor said that as long as the silver and grain, the grain he has 300 stones in his home, he has a lot of silver, all hidden in the ground, he thinks, the grain can not be relied on, the silver emperor should not know, if eighty percent of the grain can be exchanged for the salt merchant business in the future of the imperial court, it will not be a loss, so he said: "There are three hundred stone of grain in the grass people's home, one thousand taels of silver, and the minister feels that there are still sixty stone of grain left in the donation of eighty percent of the minister, which is enough for the minister's family to worry about two years, and the minister can accept it." ”

After speaking, Boss Fan looked at Chongzhen cautiously.

There are only 1,000 taels of silver in the salt merchants, Chongzhen smiled coldly, and said: "Wang Dahu, you go and ask Zhao Zhongguo to take someone to Boss Fan's mansion, check his business over the years, and see if there is any business with the eight major profiteers, and if so, you will raid your house!" ”

Boss Fan was so frightened that his legs trembled, and said, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”

This Lord Fan only said to spare his life, and he refused to say that he would donate it immediately, and he was still challenging Chongzhen's patience when he was dying! O merchant nature!

So Chongzhen was furious and said: "I told you, I will rush to Datong tomorrow, there is not so much time to talk nonsense with you one by one, since you challenge my patience, I will let you see my patience!" ”

The emperor was furious, and the other businessmen knelt down one after another, Boss Fan was so frightened that he knew that he was wrong, and said tremblingly: "The grass people are willing to donate, the grass people are willing to donate, the grass people are willing to donate, the grass people are willing to donate more than 200,000 taels of silver in their homes, and the grass people are willing to donate them all!" ”

Chongzhen angrily returned to his seat and sat down, saying, "It's late! I tell you, you are guilty of deception! I want to do business with you, you are so deceitful, profiteers have done it, I have to find out all about it! ”

These businessmen saw that Boss Fan was taken down and raided when he didn't agree with him, they are doing business, who doesn't have a little bit of law and discipline, the emperor said to donate eighty percent, then eighty percent, if you can really do business with the court, this money can be earned back in the future, and they are willing to donate the grain and silver!
