Chapter 60: Secret Folds One
For the next few days, the situation was calm and unwavering on the surface, but in reality it was rough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut that's all about the courtiers.
These days can be regarded as the most comfortable time for Zhu Daming since he came to this world. The most critical personnel arrangements have been basically completed, and although there are still some officials who later showed a high degree of loyalty and amazing talent have not been assigned to key positions, the level of cabinet ministers and six scholars can be called talented. This is an important reason why Zhu Daming was able to relax.
In addition, the eunuch case has also been approved, and those eunuch elements on the list who have not been arrested before have been arrested and imprisoned in the past few days. None of the people who should be arrested can escape, and the family that should be raided will not be able to escape. The edicts of the two pacification divisions in the north and south were all full.
However, there is not much doubt from the government and the opposition to this, after all, these people have long had a notoriety of being affiliated with Wei and rebels, and the people and the people are more applauded, and there is no worry about material harm at all.
Of course, Zhu Daming was not completely idle during this period, and as an emperor who wanted to make a difference, it was impossible.
In the past few days, Zhu Daming has received several secret folds, one of which is Lu Shanji's, which of course involves Shandong and Lianghuai Salt Affairs. The reason is that the two Huai salt transport made this the biggest fat shortage in the world, because of the friendship with Wei Zhongxian, Li Yongzhen and was identified as a eunuch party member, was Luo Yangxing sent people to arrest into the Nanzhen Fusi prison, Lu Shanji, who was killing the Yamen of the Shandong Salt Transportation Division, heard the news, and decisively left Wang Zegu and half of the Jinyi guards to deal with the Shandong Salt Transportation Division, and he took Sun Zhan and others to the south quickly, and rushed to the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division in Yangzhou.
The two Huai salt transportation envoys are the largest of all the salt transportation envoys in the world, and the output of sea salt accounts for sixty percent of the sea salt output of all salt transportation divisions, so whether or not they can win the two Huai salt transportation divisions is directly related to whether the salt rectification that Lu Shanji is responsible for can achieve the final success. Now that the two Huai salt envoys have been judged to be eunuchs, they have done Lu Shanji a great favor, and they don't have to work hard to find evidence. Before leaving, Lu Shanji gave the emperor a second secret fold.
Lu Shanji is now a "fierce name", at least spread all over the major salt farms along the coast, especially in the eyes of some salt officials and salt merchants, Lu Shanji is a vicious dog released by the emperor, specializing in biting these people related to salt affairs.
That's what the officials of the Yamen of the Shandong Salt Transportation Division thought, and since they learned that most of the officials of the Changlu Salt Transportation Department of Lu Shanji had been killed and raided, these people began to panic. The Shandong Salt Transportation Division is located in Jinan, but the divisions are all over the coast and on both sides of the canal.
As soon as Lu Shanji arrived in Jinan, the Shandong Salt Transport Envoy wanted to bribe Lu Shanji with a lot of money, hoping that Lu Shanji would open up the net and let him go, but he was directly taken down by Lu Shanji and put in prison, and then openly collected criminal evidence from the sub-divisions under the Salt Transportation Division and the salt farms.
Those salt farm stove households and small and medium-sized salt merchants who have been bullied by the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division in collusion with the big salt merchants for many years have of course reported one after another, and the result is that not only the officials below the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Department have fallen into bad luck, but even the big salt merchants from all over Shandong have also fallen into bad luck.
Among them, there is also a more tricky one, that is, Zhu Changjie, the king of Germany whose fief is in Jinan, Shandong. Because it involves the clan, some things are not easy to handle. Lu Shanji can arrest the salt transportation department from the salt transportation envoy to the salt farm tax collector, including the big salt merchants with complicated relations between the DPRK and China, he can catch it, and even kill it with Shang Fang's sword. But for Lu Shanji, the prince of the clan is still a forbidden area, and whether he can do it or not, what to do must be reported to the emperor for instructions.
At the same time, it was suggested that Wang Zegu temporarily take over the Shandong Salt Transportation Envoy and continue to investigate and confiscate the family property of the offending salt officials and salt merchants. At the same time, it was reported that the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy had been arrested and imprisoned by the Fusi of Nanzhen, and that he needed to hurry south to Yangzhou to rectify the Lianghuai Salt Affairs and make new contributions to the emperor.
Of course, Zhu Daming fully complied, authorized Lu Shanji to act cheaply, and ordered Wang Guoxing, the chief official of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, to personally lead capable people to Jinan and work with Wang Zegu to investigate the case of King De.
Zhu Daming transferred Lu Shanji's secret turn to the cabinet, and only Li Guowei was the first assistant to the cabinet, and soon made an appointment with the ministry, and Wang Zegu took over the post of Shandong salt transportation envoy. It's complicated to say, it's actually quite simple, Zhu Daming just wrote a line of imperial approval on Lu Shanji's secret fold, and then asked the celebrant to transfer it to the cabinet. However, although the number of words in one line of imperial approval is not much, and it does not cost Zhu Daming much time and energy, it determines the fate of many people.
Zhu Daming admires Lu Shanji's approach very much. Zhu Daming's most direct purpose in rectifying the salt affairs was to raise money, grain, and military salaries in the border towns, and Lu Shanji grasped this very accurately, cleaning up the Changlu Salt Transportation Division, not only copying the family property of corrupt officials and the small gold and silver inventory of the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division, but also copying the family property of several salt merchants in the north, and in less than a month, he transported back nearly five million taels of silver for the emperor's inner treasury, which happened to make up for the hole in the arrears of the nine sides.
This one-pot purge of the salt officials and tax envoys of the Shandong Salt Transportation Division and its subordinate divisions has yielded nearly four million taels, and at the same time, it has also involved another rich and rival clan prince.
For the sake of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the restoration of China's national fortunes, not only corrupt officials, traitors and traitors must be eliminated, but also the moths and black sheep in this kind of clan.
Of course, the clans that performed better in history should be used, such as King Zhou, King Tang, and King Gui, these clans are still a bit of a clan, they know what their surname is, and they will not casually surrender Li Zicheng's Dashun Army or the Manchu Eight Banner Army after entering the customs. Like King De, King Fu, King Lu, King Qin, King Dai and other princes of the clan, there is no backbone at all, the typical Chuang Chuang Chuang, Qing Lai Qing, the last one did not end well, all the Ming Dynasty clan princes in history who descended to the Qing Dynasty, were all deceived by Dolgon to Beijing and beheaded.
So in this time and space, Zhu Daming wants to start most in the clan is King Fu, King De, King Qin, and King Dai, and now King Fu and King De have a handle, which can be regarded as inevitable.
Lu Shanji is so powerful, Zhu Daming will certainly not be stingy with rewards, on the way to Yangzhou, Zhu Daming has already informed the cabinet and the ministry, and ordered to promote Lu Shanji to be the squire of the military department, and at the same time seal his son Lu Hualin as the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei, and enter the Jinyiwei Experience Division as the inspector.
