Chapter 241: Nan Zhili II
Early the next morning, Chen Yu's body finally got better, the sky was just bright, he got up and turned on the lamp, walked to the window and opened the window, the cold hit, he wrapped the collar of his shirt.
After a while, he closed the window, walked to the stove, picked up Tongjian and looked at it.
This is Chen Yu's habit, he always gets up early every day, reads books, and exercises until the sun rises.
Tongjian looked at it for a while, then put it down, then rubbed his brows, looked at the information sent by the inner factory on the side, and carefully flipped it up.
In the past, when Fang Xiaomei was by his side, he didn't have to worry about these things, she could always classify and summarize all the important information in the inner factory, and then report them to Chen Yu one by one.
Accustomed to her being around, it's a bit of a headache to suddenly look at this messy information by yourself.
I flipped through a few books at random, most of them were embezzled and bribed by some local officials, as long as the amount was not huge and there was no collusion between officials and officials, occasional corruption of Chen Yu was also acceptable.
The magistrates don't have much money, and they have to support a group of officials, and it is also impractical to have no extra income.
Looking at it, he suddenly frowned, this love newspaper is about Ma Zhongxi, saying that the gang of thieves in Bazhou has begun to go south, and now a large area such as Hebei and Shandong has gradually been looted by them, and even a small part of Henan has begun to be captured by this part of the bandits.
And Ma Zhongxi still goes in and out of eating and drinking with the Liu brothers every day, and the Liu brothers don't know if they did it on purpose, but they don't infringe on the Ma Dutang family in the old city.
Chen Yu's political sense of smell and sensitivity is very strong, he rubbed his head, this Ma Zhongxi, looking at his resume, he doesn't look like such a mindless person!
No wonder he was promoted several times and degraded several times, when he left, Yang Yiqing asked you to surrender as the main thing, this strategy was not wrong, but didn't you do this to make the imperial court, especially Yang Tinghe, who had a grudge at the beginning, fall into the truth?
And now the evidence is even more conclusive, Yang Ting and the old man want to move you, but they can't keep it, it's a trivial matter if the official loses it, and he can't say that once he enters the prison, his life is gone!
I pulled out the issue, wrote it for approval, put it aside, and read on.
When he saw Nan Zhili's magazine, he began to get serious, and this magazine was exactly what he was looking at.
Qian Fengyue, Chenghua was raised in the middle of ten years, and he was not allowed to enter after that, and after twenty or thirty years, he was able to sit in the position of deputy envoy of Yanyun, and he did have some ability, and this Qian Fengyue did not belong to any faction, such a person can get this status, it is really the essence of the human spirit.
He has three sons and one daughter, all of whom died in the last Liukou change, and now it is found that there is still a daughter in the world, whose name is Qian Dongfei, who is in the government prison at this time, protected by the inner factory, and there is no major problem for the time being.
When this kind of inexplicable and very unreasonable case came out, Chen Yu had already talked to the inner factory about the solution.
Regardless of the other points in this case, just talking about the rebellion of the displaced people, this is the explanation given by the official, but if you think about it carefully, you know that this is not reasonable.
When encountering this kind of thing, Chen Yu will always ask the inner factory to find out all the things that happened before and after and summarize them into the magazine.
At first, Shen Fei didn't know what they meant, but many cases came out because of Chen Yu's words!
Before the death of the deputy envoy of Qian, a strange thing happened in Nanzhili, Nanjing weaving begging received 32,000 long reed salt, the reason was to apply for the border army, at that time the salt patrol yamen cross-examined the matter, but they were all suppressed, and the matter finally ended like this, and the border army did not feedback that someone had swallowed salt privately.
Soon after this incident, the Qian family was tragically destroyed.
32,000 citations, converted according to the Zhengde period, a quotation of salt is roughly about 100 catties of salt, which is equivalent to 3 million and 2,000 catties of salt, which is converted into about 32,000 taels of silver.
That's a lot of scale. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty after the implementation of the law, many Shanxi people to grain to the north, a stone of grain can get a salt, and at that time the merchant salt was according to the years of seniority and salt number for the order, not according to the order of sales, so the Ming generation "merchants from Yongle in the waiting salt, grandparents and grandchildren can not be countless. ”
Because at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants held a lot of salt in their hands, and this kind of salt introduction could be passed on to future generations, so in the middle and late periods, Lianghuai, Huguang, Zhejiang, Changlu and other salt were mostly obtained by Shanxi merchants.
After they obtained official salt, they used it to control the supply of salt in the market, manipulate the price of salt, and extract huge profits from it.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, more than 50 percent of the state's fiscal revenue came from salt, and this move by Shanxi businessmen not only disrupted the state's ability to regulate and control macroeconomics, but also corrupted the market order, resulting in the growth of smuggled salt and a sharp decline in the state's fiscal revenue.
Although the state has cracked down on illegal salt, in the face of huge profits, many people are willing to take risks, and there are countless cases of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Even if there is no collusion between officials and businessmen, it is not uncommon for geese to pluck their feathers.
This kind of large-scale greed for ink is unbearable for Chen Yu, he can allow corruption, but the rampant illegal salt has brought irreversible disasters to the country, and it is time for him to rectify the group of old horsemen in Shanxi!
He also knew that the difficulty of this was much more difficult than the opening of the sea ban in the southeast and the promotion of the Six Things and the One Whip, which was related to a large number of Shanxi people and many officials in the two Guangzhous and Huai, once he pointed a line, there would be no explosion waiting for him.
But even so, he still decided to give it a try, and he solved the disadvantages of such a difficult country as "Zongmu Lumi", could it be planted here?
Of course, these are all things to consider after the New Year, and the six years of Zhengde don't seem to be so good!
At present, Nanjing Weaving has received the 32,000 salt of Changlu, is it also related to private salt? This point also needs to be checked by the internal factory. But what he can be sure of now is that the death of Qian Fengyue, the deputy envoy of the salt transport, is inextricably linked to this matter.
The sky gradually brightened, Chen Yu blew out the kerosene lamp next to the desk, opened the window again, and the cold wind came from the surface, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the red sun that was gradually rising in the sky.
The sun is rising, and the cold and snow are clear. The green smoke curls, and the green silk of whom's house is white.
When Qian Dongfei gave him the bun on Nanjing South Street, and when he smiled faintly regardless of fame and fortune, Chen Yu decided to help her, and he said that he would repay her.
Whether it is considering the emotional situation or the national interest, he must investigate the matter of the deputy envoy Qian Fengyue.
This incident is just a clarion call for Chen Yu to open a political struggle, his target is not only the group of businessmen in Shanxi, nor only Yang Tinghe, but also more or the first time to think about it is just to give justice to a helpless woman.
Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, he always does not believe in this sentence, there is no fixed number in the development of things, all the turns are man-made!
"My lord, you got up so early?" Shen Fei saw that Chen Yu's window was open, so he walked over.
Chen Yu nodded and took the morning tea handed over by Shen Fei, "Usually sleep is not very good." By the way, has anyone from Jingshi come over? ”
"Now all the people who give things have returned home, but the thirteen imperial historians Mao Yu is in Nanzhili, and the inner factory has issued a document, he is now rushing from Zhenjiang Mansion, and he is expected to arrive in Nanjing in the evening."
"Is Kong Lingshan here?" Chen Yu asked.
"Well, I brought it here early in the morning, and now it's in the inn, do you want to see it?"
"Hmm. Qian Dongfei must take care of it, I'm afraid that the people in the government will have some kind of moths in the prison, and the wine and food must be checked! ”
"I know, the captain of the inner factory inside is clear about these things, don't worry, if something happens to my sister-in-law, I Shen Fei will come to see you."
"Hmm. Well? What sister-in-law? Get out, don't talk nonsense! Chen Yu said angrily: "Do you think this official looks like a love saint?" This official is just holding on to grievances! ”
"Yes, yes, but sister-in-law...... Oh, Miss Qian is indeed very smart, and her personality is also stubborn and strong, but her heart is really kind and abnormal, don't you think about such a woman? ”
"How do you know so clearly? Did you even find out what kind of character she had? Chen Yu looked at Shen Fei suspiciously.
"Oh, I'm just going to see if it's suitable for adults, explore the way for adults, it's okay if you don't check, check it, tsk, this girl is really not bad, anyway, you have several in the family, Li Ziqi, Huang Wan, Master Fang, oh, Hebei Cui Hongyu is also counted, the so-called one more is not much, and it is a pity to have one less."
"Damn! Don't talk nonsense with the official, the official hasn't married yet, okay? Isn't it bad to have so many scandals? ”
"My lord, officials all over the country know that you are lustful, from October to December of the fifth year of Zhengde, the number of women sent to you alone has reached an astonishing more than 1,000 people."
"So much? Why didn't I see one? Phew, who the fuck said Lao Tzu was horny! ”
"Huh!" Shen Fei's smile is ugly, he doesn't dare to say that he is lustful or lustful, amorous is for sure!
"All of them were returned by Master Fang, she said that if anyone dares to send you a woman in the future, they will let the internal investigation factory investigate the style, so those officials will give up!"
"What a mess." Chen Yu waved his sleeves: "Take me to see Kong Lingshan." ”
Chen Yu left with his hands behind his back, majestic and high-spirited, and seemed to be very disdainful of Shen Fei, but he muttered halfway: "I didn't expect that Qian Dongfei is really not bad, long...... Bah! What's on what. Color is emptiness, emptiness is color! ”
