In a piece of saliva in the court, the Daming West Editorial Factory nominated by Wanli was finally established.

The west factory covers an area of more than 30 acres, surrounded by a high wall, the vermilion gate is flanked by a pair of mighty stone lions, 20 people with knives stand proudly left and right, through the open gate, is a wall that only writes the word "loyalty".

Turning the wall, it is the huge square of the West Factory, there are not too many decorations in the yard, various flags are fluttering on both sides, behind the flags are rows of soldiers' barracks, and in the middle is the office of the West Factory.

In the spacious hall, a huge picture of a tiger descending the mountain stands behind the handsome case, which looks particularly solemn.

When the West Factory opened, none of the courtiers came to congratulate him, and even Xu Xianchun and Sun Lun were good with Ye Xun, but they only gave some congratulatory gifts, but they didn't even show their faces.

And the advocate of the West Factory, Zhang Weixian, the old fox, also did not show up, but although he did not show up, he still completed the standard weapons of a thousand soldiers in the first three days of the West Factory.

Despite this, Ye Xun didn't appreciate it, he deserved all of this, why should he be grateful?

And another person who gives congratulatory gifts is among those who cannot see the light, he is the blessed king Zhu Changxun.

The vassal kings of various places are not allowed to make friends with courtiers, this is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, so despite the connivance of Wanli, Zhu Changxun's messenger who gave gifts was also like a thief, and left in a hurry after delivering the gifts.

Regarding the coldness on the first day of the listing of the West Factory, Ye Xun didn't seem to be aware of it, and directly issued the first order to arrest the White Lotus Sect.

Although Hu Jiucheng and the others are very concerned, the White Lotus Sect is all taking the upper-class route in the capital, and there are almost no ordinary believers, so they can't find any valuable clues at all.

But it doesn't matter, although Ye Xun wants to fight the White Lotus Sect as the name of the West Factory, the first target is Zhang Heming.

With Ye Xun's order issued, dozens of wolf-like Xichang fans arrested a businessman-like person on the street.

This merchant is not Zhang Heming's family, but a relative of his son's concubine's family.

Ye Xun is well versed in the way of struggle, that is, he will never attack the target directly, and will not deliver a fatal blow to the enemy until all the evidence chains are complete.

With the arrest of this businessman, the arrest of the White Lotus Sect by Xichang also began to spread in the capital.

As soon as the matter of the White Lotus Sect came out, almost all the people were dumb, who dared to speak at this time? Before, because of the obstruction of the reopening of the West Factory, these ministers insulted Ye Xun and Fang Congzhe a lot, and now if Ye Xun retaliates against them under the guise of attacking the White Lotus Sect, whoever fails to protect them will suffer.

Jinyiwei's edict is notorious, who dares to say that Xichang's edict will not be the same as Jinyiwei's edict? After several punishments, who can bear it!

The ministers turned off the fire, Zhang Heming's son didn't wait to come to the door, and the last time Ye Xun returned to Beijing, the old family of the Fang family came first.

Ye Xun was very surprised by the arrival of this old family, and hurriedly let the old family in.

After the old family came in to salute Ye Xun, without waiting for Ye Xun to ask, he took the initiative to take out a letter and handed it over, and then said: "My lord is inconvenient to come forward, so I ask Father-in-law Ye to help investigate in detail."

Ye Xun opened the letter suspiciously, and frowned after only looking at it twice, but it turned out that Fang Congzhe's eldest son Fang Shihong was killed and arrested by the Criminal Department.

His son himself knew that Fang Congzhe didn't believe that his son would kill people at all, but as an old man of the court, he couldn't personally participate in the investigation, so he begged Ye Xun, hoping that Ye Xun would help restore his son's innocence.

Fang Congzhe's help must be helped, because Ye Xun still owes Lao Fang favors.

Ye Xun is a person who is good at conspiracy, and from this incident, he also smells of conspiracy.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, the target of these people should be Fang Congzhe, but Old Man Fang usually only cares about the government and rarely offends people, who wants to deal with him?

This question is a bit complicated, after all, Ye Xun doesn't know much about officialdom, and Fang Congzhe has been an official for so many years, who dares to guarantee that he really hasn't offended anyone.

"How did your son-in-law get into a lawsuit?"

Since you want to help, some basic information still needs to be understood.

"The messenger of Shuntianfu said that my son-in-law was fighting with people in the restaurant, so he killed people"

The old family obviously didn't know much, and after speaking, they looked at Ye Xun with their eyes, thinking that they pinned their hopes on Ye Xun.

Ye Xun somewhat understood, this Fang Dagongzi was probably jealous of others in the Qinglou, so he accidentally hurt people, as for why that person died, it is difficult to say.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly beckoned Komur over and said with a smile: "I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, right?" ”

Kuomur was stunned, in fact, Kuomur was honest by nature, and he really rarely caused trouble, now listening to Ye Xun say this, he thought that he had done something wrong, and he was about to defend himself, but he was stopped by Ye Xun waving his hand.

"You take my note to the Criminal Department, and say that I want to read Fang Gongzi's file, they will definitely not show it to you, and they will even ridicule you, you know what to do, right?"

Although Kuomur is honest, he is not stupid, after listening to Ye Xun's words, he still doesn't understand what Ye Xun wants him to do, so he immediately agreed, and then went out and called a dozen brothers and went straight to the criminal department.

That's right, Ye Xun just wants Kuomur to cause trouble, only in this way can others know that he wants to stand up for Fang Congzhe, and after knowing that Ye Xun wants to intervene, those people will definitely throw a mouse, of course, it is not ruled out that the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, if that is the case, it will give Ye Xun the opportunity and reason to intervene.

After asking the old family to go back and wait for the news, Ye Xun called Hu Jiucheng over.

Ye Xun's silver is a lot, but raising the army is the most expensive silver, so you can't just go in and out, although the Wang family's business route is a good way to make money, but with the increasing expenditure, those alone can no longer meet Ye Xun's needs.

The Wang family's line has always been in charge of Hu Jiucheng, so Ye Xun plans to let him think about it and open up a few more trade routes.

After listening to Ye Xun's words, Hu Jiucheng was silent for a moment before he said: "In fact, there is a trade route that is the most profitable, but my father-in-law is afraid that he will not be able to complete it."

"Oh! What is it? ”

Ye Xun became interested when he heard it, as long as he could get the silver, was there anything he didn't dare to do?

Hu Jiucheng stared at Ye Xun and said slowly: "Shipping!" ”

As soon as he heard this word, Ye Xun's brows suddenly furrowed, he knew that the sea ban order was proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and although it was loosened later, it was still banned from the sea in general.

But Ye Xun also knew that in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the ban on the sea had already existed, and many of them were still the relatives of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government organizing this business, and then in order to protect their own interests, they hyped up in the court that they could not violate the ancestral system or anything, and the result was that these officials were getting richer and richer, but the court was getting poorer and poorer, and in the end they couldn't even get the money.

It's a good trade route, but you have to take your time.

changed the topic and said: "What news do you have from those companies in Shanxi?" ”

Ye Xun refers to the Jin merchants in Shanxi, like Wang Dengku, who have been pouring things into Jianzhou...
