Chapter 91: The Fall of the Jin Merchants (1)
"Lord Governor, the personnel on duty in the East Factory of Yamen have received the order of the Governor, and now every move of the officials in Shanxi has been monitored by our East Factory, without the order of the Governor, no one in the entire Taiyuan Mansion can mobilize a single soldier" A banner of the East Factory knelt at Cao Huachun's feet and began to report the situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Those eight businessmen are now in Taiyuan City," Cao Huachun, who is the governor of Dongchang Factory, is definitely a high authority, and there is no official in the whole Shanxi who dares to be disobedient under an order.
"Returning to the Dugong, the eight heads of the target, only the Fan family and the head of the Tian family are in Taiyuan, and the other families are mostly doing business abroad, and the children of the family are also scattered in other cities to take charge of the shops in various places" It is impossible for any big family to gather in one place, especially a business family like Jin Shang.
"It's not easy to scatter all over the place, let's talk about it, is there any way to wipe out these eight families at one time" Cao Huachun, who was sitting in the main seat, played with the wrench in his hand, and smiled at a group of eunuchs under him, a group of businessmen, as long as the court made up its mind, pinching them to death was the same as playing, the court can be said to be the biggest violent institution in the Ming Dynasty, and it really started, whether it was the major families or the local tyrant businessmen, they were powerless to resist in the face of this behemoth, but the original Chongzhen in history ignored this, will be fooled around.
"Governor, if you don't send an order to let the local government assist in arresting the people of the Eight Families outside," a little eunuch said his thoughts.
"Why, just this means, you, are still too tender, you must know that the emperor does not want the lives of these eight families now, the emperor is interested in the wealth accumulated by these eight families for many years, you do this, there are more people, how much silver can be left, the eight major merchant families in Shanxi, that is, eight fattened pigs, now that the Ming Dynasty is short of food, it is about to start killing pigs, it doesn't matter what the pigs did before this, it doesn't matter where they run, the important thing is that those pork can't be lost after slaughtering, and there are more people who kill pigs, Pork is not easy to divide, don't think about everything to mobilize the yamen, everything the yamen can do has been done, so what does the emperor want to do in Dongchang" At this time, a little eunuch came in with an invitation.
"The Governor, the Governor of Shanxi, the General Soldier and some local businessmen set up a banquet in the government and wanted to feast the Governor"
"A group of dying people don't have to deal with it, we don't want to see these in the future" Cao Huachun refused without looking at the invitation, and tried to play with each other at the banquet, which is not strong enough, and needs to compromise with each other to play, and now he is in charge of the East Factory behind him and has the support of the emperor to lift the table, kill the group of people who want to play chess with themselves, and have the strength, who still has time to play with you.
"Fan Yongdou, the patriarch of the Fan family, that old man is not in Taiyuan Mansion" The big family likes to scatter in all directions, and it is very troublesome to clean up, and it is not good that there are still remnants to run away, so either you don't do it, and if you do it, you must strike with a thunderbolt and beat it to death with a stick.
"The Fan family compound that has been in the city"
"That's simple, isn't the relationship between the eight families unusual, if this old puppet dies, our family won't believe it and can't afford to gather that group of people" Fan Yongdou is the boss of the eight Jin merchants, if he dies, the other heads of the family will come back to attend the funeral no matter what, not to mention those messy juniors, when the time comes, there will be a turtle in the urn, and none of them will be able to run away.
"The Governor is Wise" for a while, all the little eunuchs actually showed their kung fu,
"Let the Jinyi Guards of the Fan Mansion do it, do the hidden points, don't startle the snake" With Cao Huachun's order issued, the little eunuchs around him immediately went to arrange various matters.
Today, Fan Yongdou, the governor of the general army and some local businessmen went to invite Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang who did not know what he was doing in Shanxi, but the people did not give face at all, and they were driven back without seeing them.
Whenever he thinks of the eyes of the group of Dongchang flags looking at him today, Fan Yongdou shudders, and always feels that something is about to happen, but now the Shanxi officialdom, whether it is the governor of a province or the general of the border pass, has been fed with his own money, and even the new town guards and eunuchs who came after the little emperor ascended the throne also received their own silver, and there is no reason to make himself feel so uneasy.
"Butler, you go to the tent to pay some silver tickets, and ask people to go to the barracks to inquire about the situation with those eunuchs who are in charge of the army." Looking at the current situation, these people in Dongchang don't take the people of the local government seriously at all, and it is more reliable to ask the group of eunuchs to inquire, but when they think of the group of new eunuchs who often open their mouths, Fan Yongdou has a pain in his flesh, it is really ruthless, and the silver tickets given to the group of eunuchs every year occupy two percent of their income, but if they don't give it, they can't afford to provoke that group of eunuchs, that is a group of crazy people, if there is less filial piety, coercion and temptation can do anything, it is much more difficult than that group of officials.
"Yes, master, I'll arrange for Ah Fu to go right away" After speaking, the housekeeper was about to leave to make arrangements.
"Wait, Uncle, you better go on a trip yourself, lately, I always feel frightened, and I don't worry about other people's masters" Looking at the dark Fan family compound this night, Fan Yongdou's heart became more and more unsteady.
"Yes, sir, I'll go there myself at once," he said, turning and hurriing in the direction of the tent.
"Come on, light up all the lights in the house" Looking at the courtyard that gradually became brightly lit, Fan Yongdou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of those people in Dongchang, he felt uncomfortable, and he always felt a sigh of relief. It seems that I have to vent the evil anger I have suffered today.
Outside the Fan family compound, Ah Fu drove the carriage, and in the car sat the housekeeper Abel of the Fan family compound, carrying a large amount of silver tickets in his arms, and there was no one around in the night, and the sound of horses' hooves ticked by, and the carriage rushed to the military camp outside the city. It's just that who hasn't noticed that there is always a pair of eyes silently watching all this.
Men feel uncomfortable and want to vent their grievances, there is a better choice than women, especially beautiful women, Fan Yongdou with a gloomy face walked to his new concubine's room, thinking of that woman, Fan Yongdou's gloomy face also began to become obscene, and he was so frightened that the maid who followed him broke out in a cold sweat.
This Xinna's concubine was met by herself at a temple fair, but this woman didn't know how to lift, and dared to use the excuse that she was already a family member to prevaricate herself, I don't mind a rich Fan family master, what do you mind, on the same day, let people find her address, in front of her, beat her Xiucai husband severely, and threatened this woman with the kid's life This woman has not arrived at her own house, as for the poor Xiucai, after he left, he actually rushed to report to the official, He didn't know that the prefect here would be polite when he saw the master.
You reported to the official here, and someone over there notified Master Ben, I really don't know what to say, it's not good to live. Now it's okay, just out of the mansion, I was blocked by a few ruffians sent by myself and beaten to death in front of the mansion gate, Xiucai, phew, what is Xiucai, my lord, there are a lot of Jinshi who I sponsor every year, and I take a fancy to your daughter-in-law, that is your blessing.
Pushing open the door and seeing the little lady with red eyes crying, Fan Yongdou laughed more and more obscenely.
