Chapter 416: The Squire's Thoughts

The Shangshu servants of the Six Divisions are undoubtedly the pinnacle of the current bureaucratic class of the Ming Empire, and when Emperor Jiajing had not yet launched a purge, the eunuchs and nobles controlled all this.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were actually similar to today's secretariat, and had an extremely important position in the political situation of the Ming Dynasty, belonging to the emperor's auxiliaries, and Zhu Di and the emperor behind him continued to improve the rights of the eunuchs, in fact, it was also to balance the power of the six cabinets of the foreign dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to pay attention to martial arts and attach importance to Confucian literati, and when it came to Zhu Di, because he himself was armed to seize power, for fear that others would follow suit, so he continued to increase the power of civil servants.

In order to avoid this, the status of eunuchs is becoming more and more important, and Emperor Jiajing may not have known this when he was purging, but the situation outside at that time gave him an illusion, that is, if he didn't do it, he would be in danger.

But after the hand, I found that things were so simple and easy, those so-called control of the government Du Saiyan, conspiracy to usurp power, the nobles, eunuchs, and generals were easily swept away, because there were too many people involved in the purge, so for a time in the palace ceremonial supervisor and other supervisors and yamen could not find a replacement candidate, but the national affairs still have to run, and the ministers of the foreign dynasty naturally filled these vacancies, and the rights that have fallen in the hands of the eunuchs for more than a hundred years were received into the hands of the foreign court, and it was easy to let go of the power. It's hard to get it back.

Emperor Jiajing has such a feeling, he now knows everything, but everything can be done without him, the six cabinets can be done by themselves, and many times, the emperor is just a tool for signing and approving it. The world is boiling all about how the emperor is today, this is the world of Yao Shun, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty far exceeds that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, of course, public opinion is in the hands of the literati.

The emperor reused the literati, that is, the king of Yao Shun. At this time, the force of the Jingshi was firmly in the hands of Jiajing, but everyone could judge that the possibility of the second purge was almost non-existent, and the purge of the Jingshi merchant group had already touched the entire ruling group.

If the current group of people in power is also eliminated, then the entire ruling group will be destroyed, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be in danger of overturning, and no one thinks that a country can prosper just by relying on martial artists.

Later, someone commented on the ministers of the Jiajing period in the history books, saying that "the weight of the six Shangshu in the year of Jiajing is directly compared to the three princes of the Han Dynasty, and everything in the world is controlled, and the king is empty, thinking that he is a saint, or he is known as a monarch and a minister." But there is also such a saying, "Huang Jin, Lu Bingbi Xia Yan, Yan Song, I don't know who is Yi Yin and who is Huo Guang".

The five scholars in the cabinet are all scholars of each ministry, and they decide the government of the world, and the actual person in charge of the six ministries becomes the left and right squires.

Sima Tai, the head of the household department, had such a feeling, three years ago, if the household department had any action, it would not have succeeded if he did not greet the master of ceremonies, and even if the master of ceremonies passed, the emperor would have to make a final judgment, but today, all kinds of things in the household department, as long as the head of the household department is still a nod, can be passed, and many times, he can make his own decisions.

In the past three years, the tax supervisors and mine supervisors who were originally in the hands of the Inner Dynasty have been slowly taken back by the Ministry of Households, and the richest people in the world have to treat the Ministry of Households as their ancestors.

After cleaning, the dry stock was obediently sent to the door.

The business of Chase Money Bank has gradually expanded, and the money brought by this dry stock is like a cornucopia, and it has already earned the silver that a household servant has not earned for hundreds of years to the family, but Sima Tai is not satisfied, what is the dry stock, he is an official who manages the world's wealth, and naturally knows how much silver the current money bank can earn.

Behind the background of Datong Qianzhuang, it is already a very good treatment to get dry shares on Qianzhuang, and those Qianzhuang in Shanxi have a deep relationship with the local vassal kings and border towns, and they can't be offended at will.

At this time, Sanjiang Commercial Bank entered his field of vision, the business of this commercial bank is booming, and there is also a good money business, Sanjiang Commercial Bank looks very familiar with the heads of the Beijing Division, and there are many sheltered people, but these relationships and umbrellas are also some relationships that can be bought with money.

It shows that the Sanjiang Commercial Bank does not have any background, perhaps it was to make a fortune when it was cultivated outside the Guanwai, and in the archives of the household department using Jinyiwei to investigate, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and the maritime trade also have such and such a relationship, but now as long as the world is operating a money bank, as long as it is not in the inland provinces, how can it not have anything to do with the sea, and it does not mean anything, the main business of Datong Money Bank in Nanjing and the branch in Hangzhou, the main business is the silver money exchange between Jiangnan industry and commerce and maritime trade.

Since there is no background, it is just a piece of fat hanging in the air, Sima Shilang wants to go up and take a bite, if he bites it, this is the wealth of his descendants and generations.

However, he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank was good up and down, and the general number was still in Liaozhen, and the Liaozhen military general was also the old man of Emperor Jiajing's hidden residence, and he was not a character to be provoked.

Today in the Yinjie Datong business hall heard that the owner of the Sanjiang firm came from Liaodong, but the merchant from Nanjing felt that the owner was a military general, this situation on the one hand confirmed his judgment, so that he was glad that he did not rashly attack the Sanjiang firm, and secondly, he felt that this was an opportunity, the general of the border town had no decree to summon, rashly entered Beijing This is a big crime, as long as the investigation is clear, through the people of the military department to participate in him ruthlessly, to punish the crime and confiscate.

The merchant of the Jingshi branch of Datong Qianzhuang gave him a picture of the picture, and the Shang Gong was a close officer who followed Wei Guogong, and he was very shrewd, and handed over the picture to Sima Shilang, I am afraid that he also wanted to use his strength to rectify the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and as long as the business of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank was closed for a period of time, the business of Datong Qianzhuang would have a very good space to develop.

Thinking of this, Sima Shilang also sneered in his heart, when the time comes, it will depend on each other's means, if Sanjiang Commercial Bank is in his hands, your Datong Money Village will be an eyesore.

Sima Tai was in his study, sorting out tomorrow's official documents, thinking there, and there were several beautiful maids standing there respectfully and quietly, not daring to make a sound, and everyone in the court knew that 'Sima was lustful'.

At this moment, a man who looked like a butler walked in outside, lowered his hand and said:

"Master, our people are already on the road, and the urgent message has also been handed out, as long as the people of Chase catch up, their people will definitely be detained."

Sima Shilang nodded and said:

"The news must come back to me first, Chase Money is easy to think about!"

The butler hesitated below, but then spoke:

"Master, for such a deal, the strength of our house is too great, and we sent people to watch it, and we sent people to rush to the head of the Chase Money Bank to find out the news, but you will enter the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister in the future."

Sima Tai over there had already taken a maid in his arms, without any sven solemnity on the outside, the housekeeper's eyes were not moving and his face was as usual, obviously it was commonplace to see such a scene, Sima Shilang said with a smile:

"Something with a mouse's eyes, remember the words of the master, this thing of Qianzhuang will be comparable to the wealth of the prince in three years, keep an eye on it!"

Comparable to the wealth of a prince, the butler was a little ignorant by this sentence, but he still respectfully saluted and turned around and left the study.

Jiang Feng has been either in a restaurant or a tea shop every day these days, or wandering around in various shops, it is obvious that if he wants to find any talents by relying on this, or hear rumors about some talents, this difficulty is not inferior to looking for a needle in a haystack, which one Wu Guang has already picked up.

Under the militarized system of Huazhou, farming, military industry, and trade are all very busy, even if the festive atmosphere of the New Year is much worse than that of Daming, Jiang Feng's guards miss the lively state of celebrating the Spring Festival in Daming when they are in Huazhou.

When I came to Beijing this time, it was close to the end of the year, and the street was already in a festive atmosphere, decent shops were already hung with red lanterns, and temple fairs and fairs in many places had already begun. Jiang Feng also knew that the young people around him were afraid that their minds were flying to the edge of the sky.

In the past few days when he came to Jingshi, he was sure that there would be no danger around him, Jiang Feng left five old adults by his side, and the rest of the people gave them a few days of vacation, so that they could hang up the name of Sanjiang Commercial Bank and have a good visit to Jingshi.

He took a few entourages to walk around the place where he had lived in Nancheng before, and he was no longer going to stay in Jingshi for too long, Jiang Feng's plan was to wait for the messenger from Huazhou to come, and then set off for another place.

When he was walking to the street near the house where he used to live, a guard behind him leaned into Jiang Feng's ear and whispered:

"My lord, there are two people behind you......"
