Yang Linzheng's Liaozhen general soldier is now the most prominent position in the Ming Dynasty, once there is no merit, it is easy to add all the way to the governor of Zuodu, and even add the prince Shaobao, the prince Taibao, the prince and the young master and even the official positions of the Shaobao.

But this is just a trivial matter, Yang Lin definitely doesn't like these, the generals don't pay much attention to these vain things, unlike Wenchen's pursuit of self-cultivation and Qi family governance and peace in the world, there is a complex in his heart.

The generals only talk about benefits, and what Yang Lin wants is to get a piece of the pie from the salary of more than three million a year!

Of the more than 3 million military salaries a year, only a few civilian officials can take away, and not every civilian official is as good at snatching food from the door as Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin. In addition, it is impossible for more silver descendants to fall into the bag, it is easy to settle down, and it is not so easy to operate.

The real benefit is the Jiangmen families in Liaoxi, and the military salary of millions of dollars a year, in addition to buying war vests and building forts, most of the silver is divided by the Jiangmen of Liaoxi.

There are too many opportunities to start, deducting military salaries is just the beginning, ordnance, military quarters, military rations, tuntian, there are too many places to start.

"I'm afraid that Yang Lin's money is also made up, and if he is not allowed, he will sit on the wax." Wei Zhongxian can sit on tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if Yang Lin knows each other, he will continue to give gifts, and the generals of Liaozhen, including Zu Dashou, have always given Wei Zhongxian silver...... The Wei Mansion earns hundreds of thousands of taels a year, and the income is getting higher and higher, and it is estimated that it can break one million taels next year, mainly because the civil officials and military generals from all over the country keep giving gifts to Wei Zhongxian.

Of course, the usual silver is not as much as that of selling and officials, no matter how rich Wei Zhongxian is, he will not think that the silver will bite his hands, he also knows that the people around him will fall into the favor, after scolding with a smile, Wei Zhongxian nodded and said: "We won't see him anymore, tell Yang Lin, listen to Lord Gao in everything, don't make trouble, it's not easy to clean up!" ”

"Yes, father-in-law, don't worry." Xu Xianchun contributed to this matter, his heart was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "This is also a good thing, even if we have our real own people in Liaozhen." ”

"The water in Liaozhen is too deep." Wei Zhongxian in turn warned the people in front of him: "There is a way to make money, and you can't involve too much in Liaozhen, and you can't let people grab obvious sore feet...... The emperor has the most important Liao matter in his heart, if he knows that we are bribing to harm Liao affairs, not only will you not be able to get out, but our family will not be able to explain. ”

This is also the bottom line of the eunuch party, that is, the silver can be collected, and the selection and appointment of people must be according to the rules, although Yang Lin sends silver, his own strength and qualifications are enough, if it is not enough, Xu Xianchun and Wei Liangqing will not dare to respond to this matter by sending silver.

Wei Zhongxian divides the silver of Liaoxi from all levels, and there are at least 200,000 a year, he will not stretch his hand too long and do too much, lest something happen when something happens.

"One more thing." Fu Yingxing said with a smile: "Zhejiang Governor Pan Ruzhen asked his uncle to repair the ancestral hall, the construction started a month ago, the project silver is expected to use more than 100,000 taels, the ancestral hall is unusually tall, inlaid with gold and silver beads and jade to the uncle to stand up, the main card of the gods, four o'clock to worship endlessly. ”

"Haha, we know about this too." Wei Zhongxian's face was full of smiles, his mouth was a little grinning, and even his whole body was trembling.

In this matter, Wei Zhongxian is definitely more concerned about the matter of Liaozhen than about it.

No matter how important the Liao matter is, it is a matter of the state, the court and the Son of Heaven, but the matter of the Lisheng Ancestral Hall involves him Wei Zhongxian himself, and it is the most important matter about him, and Wei Zhongxian cannot afford not to pay attention to it.

"Wei Ruzhen is really good, and he is very effective!" After being in a high position, Wei Zhongxian rarely expressed his position directly. Due to the lack of cultural reserves, he generally did not say a word when the celebrant listened to the recitation, and rarely expressed his position directly after listening, as if Wei Zhongxian did not know anything about government affairs under Liu Ruoyu's record...... Of course, this is nonsense, Wei Zhongxian has been firmly in control of the palace and the government from the fourth year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the Manchu Dynasty is his henchman, whether it is the cabinet or the Sixth Ministry or Kedao, the local governors have basically completed the layout of the regime after driving away Donglin. If it is a rough eunuch who can't read a single big character, how can he complete such a huge layout with just spy methods?

If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's situation to a certain extent, how could Emperor Chongzhen, who entered the palace after the death of the Apocalypse, not even dare to drink saliva......

The construction of the ancestral hall in Zhejiang is not only a matter of ancestral halls, but also involves a political expression. If it is a heart, why do others give Gong Wei the ancestral hall, but you are standing still here?

Since the five years of the Apocalypse, in less than two years, hundreds of ancestral halls have been repaired in various places, each with at least more than 100,000 taels of silver, including Ningyuan City in the war zone, Yuan Chonghuan, who was the governor of Liaodong at the time, also repaired the ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian, the same extravagant expenses, each ancestral hall is a vote for the name, with this vote to be regarded as the own person of Wei Gonggong, Wei Gonggong can use it with confidence, if it is not repaired, of course, it is dismissed, at least it must be transferred to idle positions, it is impossible to give important positions to non-confidant officials to serve.

First, the court battle with the Donglin Party ended with the death of Yang Lian and others, and then ended with the resignation of Sun Chengzong, symbolizing the complete defeat of the Donglin Party.

Then there is the Xiusheng Temple, which means that Wei Zhongxian has strengthened his infiltration and control over the local area, and through the matter of the Jiansheng Temple, the local government of the Ming Dynasty has also been washed once.

The three years that Gonggong Wei controlled the government was also three years of less dispute, from the central center to the local level, it can be said that it was forbidden by order, and there was almost no hindrance, and the officials were intimidated by Gonggong Wei's iron bowl and obscenity, and a strong group like the Donglin Party was suppressed and did not dare to move, let alone ordinary officials.

It is also highly efficient under high pressure, and later generations have some views to praise the eunuch party, and the main reason is also from here.

Whether it is adjusting the positions of officials and urging officials to do things, the efficiency of the eunuch party is of course much higher, and it seems to be very effective, but this is also based on the premise that the eunuch party group including Wei Zhongxian is engaged in large-scale corruption, Wei Zhongxian alone has reaped a lot of benefits, plus the cost of building shrines everywhere, the so-called civil hardship after the Donglin Party came to power is of course not groundless, the reputation of the eunuch party has been stinking, and the biggest discipline of the officials who have served is gone, so what is it to make money...... In short, under the premise of not thoroughly reforming the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, any ruling group had to loot the people, and the Donglin Party did not reduce or exempt commercial taxes, but only slightly adjusted, and under the premise of not involving tax rates and taxation methods, the wealth brought by the sea trade still could not reach the hands of the imperial court, which could not be explained simply by the so-called Donglin Party not taxing for the interests of the Jiangnan gentry.

"The location of the ancestral hall in Suzhou City has also been decided." Fu Yingxing explained to Wei Zhongxian: "Since the people there in Suzhou are unruly, the ancestral hall there must be built in a particularly magnificent and magnificent manner, so as to show the determination of the imperial court and the will of the uncle. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Wei Zhongxian was greatly appreciative, and it was clear that the people in Suzhou were dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian.

The arrest of Zhou Shunchang provoked a popular uprising, and the lieutenant who went to arrest Zhou Shunchang was killed. Wei Zhongxian thought that this incident was another counterattack by the big households in Jiangnan against the center, and it was obvious that the tax supervisors and their helpers sent to Jiangnan by the Wanli Emperor were also killed by tens of thousands of Suzhou people. Later, Emperor Wanli had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian did not admit it, and strictly ordered the Suzhou magistrate to inspect the troublemakers, and later the five righteous people in Suzhou came forward and surrendered themselves, confessed to the crime of killing the captain, and the five people were beheaded, calmly and righteously, and there are bold words that have been circulated in the world, becoming ironclad evidence that the people of the time rebelled against Wei Zhongxian.

This incident touched Wei Zhongxian quite a lot, and the sworn resistance of the Suzhou people made him a little frightened, especially when the Wuyi Shi was righteous, which made him think about what happened after his death.

Even if the Emperor of the Apocalypse does not trust him, Wei Zhongxian is already over half a hundred years old, and the longevity of eunuchs is quite rare, what should he do if he is counterattacked after his death?

After a person dies, he will be ruined by others, what if he sets up a shrine early and enjoys the incense offerings?

Under this simple thinking, Wei Zhongxian instructed several local henchmen to start building ancestral halls, which could not only get rid of the local officials who were secretly dissatisfied with him, but also enable himself to enjoy the incense offering before his death, without worrying about what happened after his death, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?

"Shuntianfu, Baoding, Zhending, Jinan, Shandong," Fu Yingxing ignored the jealous eyes of Wei Liangqing and the others, and continued to play: "These places have also chosen the places where the ancestral hall will be built, but the money is a little out of hand, and it will take a while." ”

"Let's also set up an ancestral hall in Beijing." Xu Xianchun was unwilling, and said bravely: "Build a big ancestral hall, all kinds of gemstones, pearls and jade, used to decorate." ”

"Then the silver is not the sea." When Wei Liangqing said this, he regretted it in an instant, and hurriedly said: "But no matter how much silver you use, you should do it...... This is the handling of a few of us, and it is also a filial piety to my uncle. ”

Wei Zhongxian laughed when he heard this, and his expression was quite proud and proud. Anyway, he is now the pole of human ministers, but no one in the Ming Dynasty is as majestic as him, right?

Someone in the inner court has already called him nine thousand years old, and the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant was called Yin Gong in the past, and he is the real lord of the inner court, but the current eunuch Wang Tiqian, who is also Wei Zhongxian's henchman, does not dare to deny any of his decisions, and does everything according to Wei Zhongxian's wishes.

In the outer courts, from the cabinet to the local government have been washed again, the eunuch party is already a monopoly, Wei Zhongxian is equivalent to mastering the inner court and the outer court, and it is really the highest achievement that the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty has never had.

"Jingshi merchants should also repay the service." Cui Chengxiu said casually: "Don't worry too much about the money. ”

This person is really quick-witted, he solved the problem of the ancestral hall funds in one sentence, and gave everyone present the opportunity and name to make money, whether it was Fu Yingxing or Wei Liangqing, their faces showed joy.

Wei Liangqing said: "Hutchison is the richest businessman, this time it is time to ask them to have some blood." ”
