After Ding Kuichu's house was raided, it was found that all kinds of property worth more than 700,000 taels of silver, in addition to gold and silver, treasures and antiques, there are two sets of properties secretly invested in his house, more than a dozen shops and restaurants, although the Ming Dynasty did not have a huge amount of property from unknown sources, but everyone knows with their toes that Ding Kuichu has served as the governor of Liangguang for several years, and he must be crazy about corruption.

This is also in line with the rumors, Ding Kuichu bought and sold officials, sold illegal salt, forcibly occupied Duanyan mineral ......, and was unscrupulous in order to make money, which has long been a well-known secret in Guangdong, although the Ming Dynasty has no officials and is not greedy, but Ding Kuichu has gone too far, and after being brought down by Emperor Longwu, almost no one has stood up for him.

All the property was confiscated, Ding Kuichu became the target of public criticism, except for a few close henchmen, most of the Guangdong officials turned back and exposed Ding Kuichu's various crimes. As the case continued to deepen, Guangdong officials began to bite and tear each other apart, and many old accounts were turned over, some people wanted to clear their hands, some people wanted to smear others, and some people simply pulled people into the water and found someone to back their backs......

Seeing that the shape was in danger of getting out of control, Fu Guan played Emperor Longwu in time and closed Ding Kuichu's case in time.

If the investigation continues, this case will become a large-scale nest case, in which more than 80 percent of Guangdong officials will be convicted, and all middle- and high-ranking officials above the fourth rank will be wiped out...... Guangdong officials who achieve the position of four grades or more will definitely be implicated with Ding Kuichu, otherwise the black gauze hat will not be stable.

The case must be closed. The Longwu Imperial Court has not yet resumed normal operation, and if the whole of Guangdong is paralyzed, the losses caused will be unbearable.

After the case was handed over, Emperor Longwu quickly gave instructions and sent Ding Kuichu's family to Yazhou (Sanya), Hainan. Sanya in this era is not a tourist attraction. Ding Kuichu was sent there, and he may not be able to return to the mainland in his lifetime.

The atmosphere of Guangdong officialdom is also very clear, there is a life to make money and a life to spend, Ding Kuichu has made more than 700,000 taels of silver, it is not a bamboo basket to draw water, but it is cheaper for the imperial court, and cheaper for Pang Tianshou and Wang Kefan, who are in charge of copying the house.

Copying a house has always been the thickest beauty difference in oil and water, Pang Tianshou and Wang Kefan are responsible for copying homes, and it is easy to get tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you are ruthless, it is possible to pay 100,000 taels of silver. But what they didn't expect was that the estimate of 100,000 taels of silver was too conservative......

Ding Kuichu's family property was announced to the public for more than 700,000 taels, but Wang Kefan took another 300,000 taels, and Pang Tianshou also took 100,000 taels. Even Emperor Longwu sent 200,000 taels.

Emperor Longwu ran out of Fujian alone, empty-handed. It's not much better than calling Hanako. The emperor spends a lot of money, and his every move is subject to the supervision of civil officials, and he can't play anything without private money. After Ding Kuichu's fat chicken was killed, most of the property had to be filled into the treasury, and Emperor Longwu had quietly instructed him to do something in the accounts before he raided the house. Leave some silver for the inner treasury.

To his surprise, Ding Kuichu's family was really wealthy, and Wang Kefan and Pang Tianshou actually sent 200,000 taels of silver, far exceeding his expectations. When the water is clear, there are no fish. As for how much Wang Kefan and Pang Tianshou took in it, he didn't bother to ask.

When Wang Kefan was short of money, Emperor Longwu asked him to be in charge of raiding his house, just to reward him for saving the driver and giving him a chance to make a fortune...... In order to avoid Pang Tianshou's feeling uncomfortable, he ordered the soldiers to do his tricks and feet when he raided his house, and deducted 200,000 taels of silver from Pang Tianshou first, and the two of them added 200,000 taels to 5, divided 200,000 taels equally, and took 300,000 taels of silver inside and out.

In addition to this cash money, Wang Kefan also took over several Ding Kuichu's properties.

Ding Kuichu has been operating in Guangdong for many years, forcibly grabbing, as long as it is a profitable industry to insert a foot, these shop industries have his cover, occupy all kinds of commercial advantages, all restaurant shops, must be in the bustling city, where the workshop grange, there must be rich output, each is a hen that will lay golden eggs...... After the fall of Ding Kuichu, these industries were all confiscated and sold, and they became the objects of competition among the powerful.

The political forces need the support of money, even the Donglin Party, which is advertised as a high school, is shirtless when competing for these industries, this is a feast of spoils, and the other magnates are sitting back and enjoying their success, and the political forces that participated in the overthrow of Ding Kuichu were divided into half because of their merits.

Among the more than a dozen industries, Tang Wang, Liao Wang and other nobles were divided into four, Donglin Party was divided into three, the southern faction was divided into four, Pang Tianshou was divided into two, Su Guansheng and others were divided into two, and Wang Kefan and Fu Guan were divided into five.

Among Wang Kefan and Fu Guan's five industries, there is a restaurant, two granges, a military workshop, and a commercial house.

In addition to the military workshop, these properties were handed over to Fu Guan as a small treasury of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to investigate the case, and every move costs money, and if it is financially controlled by others, nothing can be done.

The military workshop used to serve the Cantonese soldiers, with more than 200 craftsmen, all kinds of tools and equipment, and the ability to produce bird guns and artillery. For those powerful and civilian officials, the military workshop did not have much attraction, and was easily taken by Wang Kefan, ready to be brought back to Huguang and merged with the Gongyi Battalion Repair Institute.

The military workshop was closed directly, and all the craftsmen settled in small homes, searched for the tools and equipment they needed, and recruited more skilled craftsmen, all of which were carried out in an orderly manner.

Ding Kuichu's case had just been concluded, and Emperor Longwu issued a new appointment to make a comprehensive adjustment to the officials of the six ministries of the imperial court, because a large number of positions were vacant, almost all officials were promoted, and many people held multiple positions, breaking many officialdom conventions. For example, Guo Weijing has entered the cabinet, and he also serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, which is unimaginable in the Chongzhen Dynasty. (The power of the official department is too great, and it is customary not to enter the cabinet.) ）

In this context, Wang Kefan's appointment as the commander of Caojiang and the title of Jiahu Guang Patrol still caused a sensation.

Unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's admiral position was high and powerful, and Wang Kefan served as the admiral Caojiang, and the promotion speed was far faster than everyone expected...... In the minds of many people, Wang Kefan will probably be promoted to a substantive position such as the chief soldier, if the emperor is favored, he will be rewarded with the status of an earl, but he did not expect him to step into the ranks of the imperial court, which attracted the envy and jealousy of countless people.

He Wuyu, Lu Daqi and other cabinet bigwigs were all relieved. Their status is different, and the angle of consideration of the problem is also different, Wang Kefan served as the commander of Caojiang, and he had to return to Huguang with the Gongyi battalion and leave from Emperor Longwu's side, for them, there was one less important political opponent in the court, which was of course a good thing.

The phenomenon of warlords countering the imperial court has been very strict since the Hongguang Dynasty, Shi Kefa was squeezed out of Yangzhou, and Ma Shiying monopolized power, in the final analysis, it was all because the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River were supporting Ma Shiying, and the Donglin Party had no military power in their hands, and they couldn't fight to the death...... Not to mention Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, he was arrogant and domineering, and he couldn't hold down the civil officials to the point that he couldn't raise his head, and when Zheng Zhilong went to the court, he had to stand at the head of the hundred officials, and he didn't even give face as the head of the court.

Driving Wang Kefan to Huguang can not only resist the Qing army, but also balance He Tengjiao, and the court has become a world of civil officials, this is really a good move to rise and fall!

Whether it was the southern faction of He Wuqi and others, or the Donglin Party of Lu Daqi and others, they all admired the political wisdom of Emperor Longwu......

In addition to Wang Kefan's appointment as Caojiang, Su Guansheng's appointment as the governor of Liangguang is also very important news in the officialdom.

Su Guansheng is a native of Dongguan, and according to the region, it seems that he also belongs to the southern faction, but because he is not from the orthodox imperial examination, he is not treated well by civil officials, and he is relatively isolated in the imperial court. When Emperor Longwu Tingzhou was in danger, he supported King Tang and King Gui to compete for the throne, and many people thought that his career was over, but what he didn't expect was that Emperor Longwu would promote him to be the governor of Liangguang.

Wang Kefan's Admiral Cao Jiang is a big official, but compared with the Governor of Liangguang, it is still a lot worse, the Governor of Liangguang is a feudal official of the Eight Classics, and he has a real territory, there is no need to fight with the Qing army, when Ding Kuichu was brought down, many people are eyeing the position of the Governor of Liangguang. Su Guansheng won in the end, and he had inadvertently offended many people.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand Emperor Longwu's intentions.

Su Guansheng is a native of Dongguan and an old man from Fujian, who has been operating in Guangzhou for several months, and has a ready-made team under his hands, and he is the governor of Liangguang, which can quickly pacify the Guangdong officials and gentry and minimize the impact of Ding Kuichu's case...... More importantly, Su Guansheng does not belong to the Donglin Party, does not belong to the southern faction, and has nothing to do with Wang Kefan and Fu Guan.

The bigwigs on all sides disagreed. Su Guansheng does not have a deep foundation in the imperial court, and he may not be able to sit firmly in the position of the governor of Liangguang...... Of course, the division of power in the court has not yet ended, and Su Guansheng is not taken care of now.

With the appointment of Emperor Longwu one after another, the shelf of the imperial court was basically erected again, the southern faction became the secretary of the military department, the Donglin Party was going to arrange a military squire, the Donglin Party was preparing to reopen the Hanlin Academy, and the southern faction was preparing for the Guozijian...... All the power organs have to be divided, everyone is busy on all fours, and in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, there is a lot of waste in the court.

Wang Kefan looked at this coldly, and Fu Guan only guarded one acre and three points of land in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and did not interfere in any other institutions, which won the unanimous praise of the Donglin Party and the southern faction, and they all felt that Wang Kefan was different from other warlords, knew how to advance and retreat, and was measured.
