Zhang Pei raised his knees and walked two steps, went to the front of the movement, picked up a piece of the music, and only looked at a few words, and then his soul was devastated.

“…… Third, they do not keep their personal virtues and prostitutes, and marry prostitutes as concubines...... Fifth, the seizure of people's land, Zhangjia's land and property of more than 1,000 hectares, all of which were seized by unscrupulous means. There is a wealthy businessman in Dinghai, Shen Defu, nine generations of accumulated 30 hectares of fertile land, years ago, the Shen family only said carelessly, the Shen family paid 100,000 silver, 3,000 acres of land to survive, but the family has been ruined...... Sixth, the Zhang family's family assets exceeded one million, all of which were obtained from the sea......"

One of the chapters lists the nine major crimes of Zhang Peiju's family, one of which is more serious than the other.

"See? What do you think? Chongzhen kept looking at Zhang Peiju from the corner of his eye, and after he finished reading, he saw fine beads of sweat the size of soybeans popping out of Zhang Peiju's forehead in this cool Qianqing Palace, and asked. Snatching people's property, but the evidence is conclusive. ”

"Your Majesty, it's all slander! Although Weichen didn't know the details of the matter, as Weichen's brother, he would definitely not do such a bad thing. My Zhang family makes a living from business, and now, the land is only 100 hectares. ”

Seeing that the emperor only said that he was taking people's property, he knew that this was what he suspected.

If the Zhang family had a huge amount of land, they did not need to rely on business to support their families, and most of the officials had people in their families who were engaged in business, but it was rare for the Zhang family to rely on business to support their families.

"What about collusion with pirates?" Chongzhen's tone was cold.

"Your Majesty, Ningbo Mansion is an important town in coastal defense, and Guanhaiwei Town is next to it, if you collude with the bandits, you will not choose here...... There was civil strife in the Japanese, and there was no trace of the Japanese for many years...... "He once served as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhang Peiju naturally knew the situation over there. "Nowadays, the red-haired ghost and the Francophone are all in trouble in Guangdong and Fujian, and the Zhang family has no land shops in both places......"

Zhang Peiju's explanation left Chongzhen speechless.

That's just the way it is.

"You go back first and write an excerpt to clarify the facts! Wait for the imperial history investigation to be clear before making a conclusion! Zhang Aiqing, the household department is in charge of the country's money and grain, which is the top priority! The treasury was empty, and the imperial court increased its use. If you can solve the money and food of the imperial court, as long as you don't rebel, I can spare your family......" Chongzhen's words made the corners of Zhang Pei's mouth, who had been apprehensive, twitch constantly.

Is this the emperor trying to trap him?

Nima, solving the cost of money and food in the imperial court is indeed a matter of the household department, what does it have to do with himself? Are you so unbearable?

Now the imperial court is owed a butt, natural disasters continue to occur in various places, there are many rebellions, the suppression of rebellions and disaster relief, all need to raise silver at the moment, since Chongzhen ascended the throne, there is no day without worrying about money and food, Zhang Peiju can be appointed as the head of the household, but also because no one wants to take up this position, but those who are willing to serve cannot solve the problem.

"Your Majesty, will Lord Zhang mislead state affairs because of this?" Zhang Peiju left, and Wang Chengen asked cautiously.

Since childhood, I have followed Chongzhen, and I clearly know that Chongzhen's character flaws have been impeached, and some people have impeached Zhang Peiju, and most of the things in it are framed, in order to let Zhang Peiju dismiss the official and make room for Shangshu.

Chongzhen naturally knew it, but he wanted to use such an opportunity to force Zhang Peiju to work harder to raise silver, and the Zhang family seized the Shen family's property, Chongzhen had definite evidence.

Chongzhen's self-righteousness and capriciousness have long been exposed.

He devoted himself to supporting the society, thinking that those who have the ability would not hesitate to give them a chance, and after a period of time, he could not see the effect, or someone said something bad, but the young emperor would begin to doubt it......

Yuan Chonghuan's death is proof of this.

Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen for a while before he spoke, "Now, the imperial treasury is empty, and there is no silver dispatch in the treasury, if you don't force it, who of these ministers will care about the country?" The country is the Zhu family, the Zhu family was taken away, they defected, and they were still able to keep their official position! ”

Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen, and a sadness couldn't help but rise in his heart.

"Your Majesty......" Wang Chengen didn't know how to answer.

He is just a eunuch, often accompanying the king, but he also knows that the companion is like a tiger.

Too much talk can make you lose it all.

"Alas!" Chongzhen threw the pen in his hand on the imperial case, "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the one who can share my worries is Zhang Ningyuan!" If I don't force him, who will worry about me? In the past, everything was staring at my inner son, but now, after several reductions in the palace, it can no longer be reduced. In June, the Yellow River broke through Mengjinkou, and the disaster relief money made the inner child more empty...... Zhu Dadian asked for salary several times, but I didn't have a penny of silver to transfer......"

Ningyuan is Zhang Peiju's word, taking tranquility to far.

At the end, Chongzhen's eyes were red.

Rich from all over the world, the respect of ninety-five, but there is no money to dispatch.

"Wang Chengen, I have these hardships in my heart, so I can only tell you that fighting with a bunch of old foxes is too tiring. The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there is no one to rely on, and I am rich all over the world......"

Wang Chengen's face was also silent, and when he entered the palace, he accompanied Chongzhen, knowing that Chongzhen was extremely harsh on himself when he was the emperor.

Everything is for Kuangfu Daming Jiangshan Sheji.

The Ming Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, the ministers do not think about state affairs, and take care of their own interests, and all the burdens are on Chongzhen's immature shoulders.

The treasury was empty, and there was no money to use.

"Master, is there a big event happening in the DPRK? Could it be that what is the other place that needs to raise money and food? After Zhang Peiju returned home, he sent someone to ask about the family's seizure of land or the fact that he had not thrown out the matter of sea trade, and then locked himself in his study.

At the beginning of the day, I didn't eat dinner.

His wife Zhang Zhou is the youngest daughter of Zhou Jiamo, the former secretary of the household department in Nanjing, who is deeply loved by her father and is familiar with the affairs of officialdom.

"Madam, today's court, Wen Tiren impeached the first assistant Zhou Yanru......" Zhang Peiju told his wife in detail about the court, hoping to hear her analysis.

It came so suddenly, and there was no preparation at all.

"The eldest brother took the Shen family's property and land?" The wrinkles on Zhang Zhou's forehead were squeezed together.

"I don't know yet, but I've sent someone to investigate. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the eldest brother to hide such a big thing. The fleet was sold ten years ago, and Shanlu was taken out of the maritime trade a few months ago...... If Shanlu takes away people's property, Qiao'er will also stop it. ”

"Since Your Majesty only asks about the seizure of people's property, it should not be groundless, and at most exaggerated. Qiao'er had an accident a few years ago, and it was rumored that she did not abide by women's morality, and the He family repented of her marriage...... If the girl retaliates......" When Zhang Zhoushi said this, the couple were both stunned.

The Zhang and Shen families have no grievances, Zhang Qiaoer has been raised by Zhang Pei by Zhang Zhou's family since she was a child, and she is more than enough to deal with a businessman.

"If that's the case, it's really hard to do." Zhang Peiju shook his head and sighed.

A year ago, they got the news, and Zhang Shanlu's letter did not explain in detail, and Zhang Peiju's predecessor, Shangshu He Ru, also retired from the Zhang family.

"Let's find out who is behind this. How could Shanlu be so confused! Zhang Peiju sighed again.
