"Poor and extravagant!"

Chongzhen sneered.

Of course, Yang Qing wanted to come back to stimulate him, but he was pitiful for the Ming Emperor, because he wanted to show the image of the thrifty Holy Lord Mingjun, he had just rejected the delicacies of the mountains and seas prepared for him by the Yangzhou prefect, and severely reprimanded him, but when he turned his head, he knew that the things he refused were simply pig food in the eyes of Yangzhou salt merchants......

The prefect of Yangzhou, who knew his temper, would certainly not really prepare a luxurious banquet for him.

But the two of them are obviously a little wrong in their perception of frugality.

"Your Majesty, Yangzhou salt merchants have been extravagant for a long time, but before there is no more reasonable salt law, the slave maid thinks that for the time being, don't move them, at this time Sichuan has been in chaos, Sichuan salt is difficult to get out of Sichuan, Huaibei, Changlu two major salt farms are into the hands of Li Zicheng, the court relies on only Huainan salt, and the provinces along the Yangtze River Huai salt transportation and sales are in the hands of Yangzhou salt merchants, rash action will inevitably make the inland salt shortage, the salt shortage will change the people, Your Majesty is fortunate that Nanjing is not suitable for risk at this time."

Wang Chengen said cautiously.

Of course, he knew that Chongzhen at this time must have made a killing move.

Chongzhen didn't speak.

Clearly, the anger has not subsided.

It is said that when he was in Beijing, he usually didn't even eat meat, and his clothes were also sewn and mended, and he strictly controlled his enjoyment in strict accordance with the standards of the Holy Lord Mingjun that the ministers said, and used more than a hundred sheep for a dish, and each sheep only ate a little meat on the lips, which seemed to him to be a crime that deserved death, especially along the way, he had already seen the starvation of the people, and how many hungry people could be fed by just this dish of salt merchants!

The famine in the north has reached such a point, but the salt merchants are still so poor and extravagant, think of the scene where Li Zicheng said that even the flies were eaten......

This Tamar is purely rebellious and justified!

"Your Majesty, it is indeed inappropriate for the Hui merchants to move for the time being, but the salt merchants are not only Hui merchants!"

Yang Qing said sinisterly.

"Go on!"

Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty, during the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the minister and Huang Fei blocked Liaodong Bay, seized a number of Jin merchant ships, all of which transported grain to supply Jiannu, and when the minister broke through Jinzhou, most of the Jiannu military grain burned in Jinzhou was rice produced in Jiangnan, so it can be seen that Shanxi's profiteers in the south have always been smuggling Liaodong with Jiangnan rice. Thinking of the bitter cold land in Liaodong, when the imperial court was tuntian, the food and salary were continuous, and the soldiers stationed there were still hungry and cold, if Jiannu did not have the help of this generation of traitors, I am afraid that they will all starve to death, how can they suffer for decades? And the Jiangnan Jin merchants are all gathered in Yangzhou, isn't the extravagance of this generation all the blood of my Liaodong soldiers? If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, it will be difficult for the soul of the hero to settle underground. ”

Yang Qing said righteously.

Of course, what he meant can be summed up in one sentence, it is indeed not possible to copy Hui merchants for the time being, but isn't there still Jin merchants who can copy? Jin Shang is useless, Shanxi is not our territory, and Li Zicheng has a headache if something happens.

"Traitor? You use that word well! ”

Chongzhen said.

"This generation is a traitor of my Han people, if I continue to sit back and watch him get away with it, how can I face the soldiers who died, this is the duty of Jinyi Guard, and you are in charge of Beiya, and you should handle this case quickly!"

He went on to say.

"Obey the order!"

Yang Qing said immediately.

"You don't have a place to live in Nanjing, do you?"

Chongzhen said.

"The minister's family has no money to spare, the house in Nanjing is said to be very expensive, plus there are many people who have moved south, and the soaring housing prices can be called every inch of land, where can the minister afford it, and he is preparing to let Yuanyuan find an old acquaintance to rent a temporary residence after arriving in Nanjing, His Majesty also knows that she has more acquaintances in Nanjing, and it is estimated that the rent can be cheaper."

Yang Qing said shamelessly.

I have to say that he can say that he has no money to spare, which is shameless.

"Don't cry to me, don't you think I don't know that you sold Dolgon's thing for 10,000 taels?"

Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Take him to Wei Guogong, and say that I bought a house for Wei Guogong, which can be regarded as a gift to him!"

Then he said to Wang Chengen.

Yang Qing hurriedly thanked him, and then withdrew with Wang Chengen.

"You're going to make this Nanxing cry all the way! Everyone knows what the Jin merchants did, but do you know how many princes and ministers in the court were behind the Jin merchants? Merchants are just lotus leaves on the surface of the water, these people are the rhizomes under the water, the lotus leaf pruning is nothing more than resurrection, the Jin merchants are without them, and it is a big deal to support the Zhejiang merchants, Fujian merchants and Guangdong merchants, and you have provoked a bunch of enemies for yourself. We can be regarded as sharing weal and evil, and our family's life is also saved by you, our family still has to make it clear to you these words, Nanjing is not something we can do arbitrarily in the north, with your temperament, you have to be careful of those open guns and hidden arrows in the future. ”

Wang Chengen said as he walked.

"Don't worry, the governor is not afraid of this!"

Yang Qing said.

"Then you're doing it for yourself!"

Lao Wang patted him on the shoulder and said.

It's still interesting to say that Lao Wang, this is definitely not what Chongzhen asked him to say, Chongzhen can't wait for Yang Qing to bite everywhere for himself like a mad dog!

This is Lao Wang's heartfelt words!

However, it is obvious that Lao Wang still underestimated Yang Qing's madness, this guy is really as excited as a mad dog now, he is not afraid of any open guns and hidden arrows in the future! He only has copying the house in his mind now, especially copying the home of the Jin merchants, which makes people's hearts full of ***, as for the open guns and hidden arrows in the future, that is not in the scope of Yang Qing's consideration, he doesn't care about Dolgon's thousands of troops and horses, and those princes and ministers behind the Jin merchants are a fart, what can these people do to him? He is not afraid of assassination at all, the only killing move is nothing more than to separate him and Chongzhen, just like Wu Weiye planned, but do you really think that he would rather go to the Fengbo Pavilion than be honest Yue Wumu? If there is really such a day, he can completely do this kind of thing with Guan Ningjun Qingjun's side.

Overt and covert attack?

A mace is all smashed!

His layout and design to get Guan Ningjun to Huaixi is not only to warn Zuo Liangyu, but it will not take a few days to go down the river from Anqing to Nanjing.

What's more, Huang Fei's subordinates are also his allies.

Even if Huang Fei doesn't do it, he only needs one sentence, then the core of Huang Fei's department, those elites who followed him in the bloody battle in Liaodong, will not hesitate to take down his second brother and then come to listen to his command.

He is not Yue Wumu.

Immediately afterwards, he and Wang Chengen went to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and then gave the first kind of thing is not worth mentioning, Lao Xu is the number one big landlord in Nanjing, there are countless mansions in Nanjing, Chongzhen is actually generous to others, Wang Chengen said this, Lao Xu knew very well what he should do, and called his house slave over to consult......

Well, he has too many houses to remember, so he can only consult with a house slave.

Then Yang Qing had his own earl's house.

A five-entry mansion on the bank of the Qinhuai River was officially transferred to his name.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qing returned to his residence.

At this time, Chongzhen no longer needs him to fall asleep outside every night, after all, this is already Yangzhou, no matter how careful Chongzhen is, he will not be careful to this extent, Yang Qing just entered the door, and saw Yuan Yuanzheng sitting in the house angrily, and a housekeeper was standing aside with a smile on his face, and there was also the little maid he was scheduled to eat, the latter changed into a new clothes, and stood there with his head down and looked sad and pinching a handkerchief.

"Little Zheng An has seen the lord!"

The butler stepped forward and saluted.

"No need to be polite!"

Yang Qing waved his hand and said.

Then he walked to the little maid, stretched out his hand to pick her chin, looked at her panicked expression with satisfaction, and then walked to the Taishi chair with his hands behind his back and sat down, took the tea handed by the maidservant, took a sip and said: "Go back to thank your master on behalf of Benjue, and tell him that Benjue is in charge of Jinyi Wei Beiya, and he will go to Nanjing in the near future. Speaking of which, I and your master are also considered to be familiar at first sight, the last time I led the troops to wash Jinzhou, I arrested a few businessmen in Jinzhou, they said that they were from your Zheng family, at that time I didn't know who the Zheng family was, so I simply cut it together, and now I know that the Zheng family turned out to be your master! If I had known I would have kept their dogs alive! ”

Zheng An's legs were weak and he immediately knelt down.

"Wronged, sir, there is absolutely no business between our Zheng family and Jiannu!"

He shouted.

"Then how do they say it's the Zheng family?"

Yang Qing said with a pure face.

"But it's really wrong, those people obviously have Shanxi accents!"

He muttered to himself.

"Lord Mingcha, our Zheng family either uses guys from Yangzhou or Huizhou, how can we use guys from Shanxi? Our Hui merchants and Jin merchants are not all the way at all, those Jin merchants do collude with Jiannu, but our Hui merchants are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zheng An said cautiously.

"But what they transported to Jiannu is obviously rice from Jiangnan! And it was transported by sea ship. ”

Yang Qing said.

Zheng An looked at him thoughtfully.

"Sir, this villain can go back and help the sir."

He said.

"Then there is labor, you go back and tell your master, the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi have been assigned to the King of Qin as a fief, some things can no longer be the same as in the past, the people there are no longer the same as in the past, whether they are merchants or merchants, they are already the people of the Qin domain, although they are all subjects of our emperor, but after all, there are still some differences, just like I am brothers with your master, but they can only be said to be distant relatives, this, do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Qing said.

"The villain understands."

Zheng An nodded vigorously.

"It's good to understand, since your Zheng family is the head of the salt merchants in Yangzhou, you are also familiar with the merchants of the Qin clan in Yangzhou, if you know that they have anything to do, don't be in the way of knowing and not reporting it, if you dare to hide it and be found out by Benjue after it, then don't blame Benjue for not being emotional. Go back and tell your master, any subject of the Ming Dynasty has the obligation to eliminate traitors for the country, for those traitors who fornicate with Jiannu, and even smuggle trade with Jiannu, that is, the traitors of our Han people, we must find a report and report one, and the door of Jinyi Weibei Ya is open for those loyal and righteous people at any time! ”

Yang Qing said.

"The little one, go back and tell my master to investigate strictly!"

Zheng An swallowed and said.
