Chapter 425: Zhou Shunchang
Since the conflict broke out with the Kong family, Yang Tingyun has been caught in the war between heaven and man. He has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he is used to seeing wind and rain. According to his calculations, it is feasible to use the Confucian family to brush up on fame, but it is limited to letting them give up some grain and silver, and at most tens of thousands of acres of land, which means that it will be done at once.
After all, for thousands of years, no one dared to kill the Kong family!
But Zhang Ke doesn't know what to eat and not digest. As soon as he made a move, he was ruthless, and he didn't say that he robbed all the trading houses, but also took away the land. As a result, he was forced to send Jinyi Wei to the imperial court and took Xu Zhi away.
Xu Zhi took refuge in Zhang Ke for the sake of his own face, if he fell into it because of this, he would be sorry for his friends!
Yang Tingyun had the heart to persuade Zhang Ke and let him stop. How do you know that this grandfather has just become addicted to playing, and he is not worried at all. He continued to agitate the refugees and people, surrounded the Confucian family, and performed operas attacking the Confucian family. One after another, people from all over the country came to watch.
It was not enough to hit the reputation of the Kong family, Zhang Ke also ordered the closure of the Kong family's mansion. No one from inside is allowed to come out, and no one from outside is allowed to go in.
There are hundreds of people in the Kong family, plus the maids of the family, counting three or four thousand, and eating and drinking every day is astronomical. If it's really blockade, it's going to be a refugee inside.
Anyway, Zhang Ke left a living road for them, and came out to buy 500 taels of silver at a time, transport a cart of vegetables and 1,000 stone of grain, and transport a pig and 300 stone of grain......
All in all, if you want to go out, you have to spend money, Kong Yinzhi was so angry that he didn't give Zhang Ke a son. But after three days, I couldn't stand it, there were no fresh vegetables, no meat, I nibbled on steamed buns every day, and ate pickles and melons. I can't pull out even when I eat, is this the life that Yan Shenggong can live!
"Give, if he dares to ask Lao Tzu, he will dare to give. Give it today, pay it back ten times later! Kong Yinzhi scolded: "Dare to bully the Kong family like this, for thousands of years, you are the first!" Wait, the world's scholars won't let you go! ”
In less than ten days, 200,000 taels of silver and 150,000 stone of grain were squeezed out of the Yansheng Mansion. I was stunned to empty half of the warehouse in the Confucian Mansion, and I heard that Kong Shangxian, who was in charge of the accounts, was directly angry. Kong Yanzhi killed several black dogs raised in the house, and ate dog meat every day to lose his fire.
Wait, wait, there is finally news in the capital.
When Kong Yanzhi took the newspaper that he bought for 10,000 taels of silver, his eyes were dark, and he fainted directly. After waking up, he couldn't hold back anymore, not only Xu Zhi, but even Tianqi and Lao Wei Du couldn't be spared.
"Faint King! Wei Gelding! You deceive too much, deceive too much! The more Kong Yinzhi scolded, the lower his confidence became, and the apocalypse did not reprimand Xu Zhi, but even asked him to patrol Shandong, and even wanted to clear the acres of land. It is clear that he is coming for the Kong family, could it be that the imperial court has changed its mind and no longer treats the Kong family preferentially!
Speaking of which, the Kong family can prosper forever, isn't it just under the banner of the ancestors and relying on the preferential treatment of the imperial court to live! If the emperor looks down on them, it is equivalent to asking for life.
Kong Yinzhi climbed onto the table, broke his fingers, and endured dizziness and wrote the blood book.
The Kong family can't be finished, and they can't lose their holy family! Kong Yinzhi prayed for the emperor's forgiveness with the most humble gesture, and after writing a letter of blood, all ten fingers became hair cakes.
……
Compared with Kong Yinzhi, Yang Tingyun's shock is even greater. The emperor's disposition simply puzzled him.
Qiao Fu, who obviously represented the Yizhou soldiers, clashed with the Confucian Mansion of the Holy Princess, the head snake in Shandong, including Xu Zhi. But looking at the shape, it turned into a conflict between the emperor and the courtiers.
Zhang Ke, who really caused trouble, stayed out of the matter, no one mentioned him, let alone Zhang Ke, even Qiao Fu was fine, as for Xu Zhi, he was even promoted, this is too ridiculous!
"Mr. Yang, I can see it very clearly today, now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, full of holes, and the most fatal thing is financial depletion. When it comes to the cause of fiscal depletion, it is simply a merger! And the Confucian family is the representative of the wanton annexation of land, and it is the emperor's henchmen, but the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers all have Confucius and Mencius disciples who claim to be self-proclaimed, even if the emperor wants to punish the Confucian family, there is no way to start. ”
Zhang Ke's former classmate Tang Guang said with a smile: "What Xu Zhongcheng did is tantamount to helping the emperor get angry, how can the emperor not protect him?" The Sacred Heart is like this, at this time, if the Manchu courtiers can understand the emperor's thoughts, they will ask for the punishment of the Confucian family, calm the anger of the people, and then punish the reckless Xu Zhi by the way. At most, Yan Shenggong was given a beating, and some floating wealth was lost, and it won't be long before he could get it back. However, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty said in unison that they would severely punish Xu Zhi, and did not mention a word about the problems of the Confucian family, for fear that the saints would blow up their lungs! ”
Although Tang Guang did not have a face saint, he said the reason as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Yang Tingyun couldn't help but be in awe, it seems that Zhang Ke really has a master!
"Lord Tang is really powerful, the old man finally understands that the reason why the Son of Heaven is angry is because the hundred officials only care about the Kong family, not the Zhu family!!"
"That's right!" Zhang Ke also smiled: "Before leaving, Ben Jue asked Xu Zhongcheng to say that the situation in Shandong was as miserable as possible, the uprising of the displaced people was just around the corner, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, only in this way could we move the sacred heart and find a reason to attack the Kong family!" ”
Yang Tingyun twisted his beard and pondered for a while, sure enough!
No wonder Zhang Ke can win on the battlefield, he has already touched people's hearts so thoroughly, it is really terrifying.
"Grandpa Guo's clever calculations, the old man admires him, but is the emperor overly worried?"
It's not just excessive, it's just scary!
Lao Wei sent more than 20 tax supervisors and mine supervisors to Jiangnan in one go, but before they left, Zhang Ke got the news. He deliberately attacked the Kong family, and wantonly created public opinion to intimidate the apocalypse......
If it was just to deal with the Kong family, in order to gain a foothold in Shandong, there was no need for him to go through such a big effort. There is only one purpose for this act, and that is to provoke a conflict between the emperor and the ministers!
Behind the so-called dispute between the eunuch party and the Donglin party is the struggle between the monarch and the minister. Wei Zhongxian is just an old eunuch who doesn't even know a word, as long as he has a will, he can easily take it, what qualifications does he have to form a eunuch party! It's just that the emperor let him out and act as a biting dog.
After years of observation, the Donglin Party has spit and spit, and the party is the same as the other, and they are familiar with the way of forming a party and running a private business. Expecting them to govern the country and eliminate internal and external troubles is simply wishful thinking and delusional thinking.
They themselves are the source of chaos in the Ming Dynasty!
By attacking the Kong family, it caused a backlash from the courtiers, which in turn angered the apocalypse and forced the emperor to make up his mind to get rid of the Donglin Party......
All of them are staged according to the script they have designed, and the mine supervisors and tax supervisors are sent out, and the next step is bound to cause a backlash from the world, and the greater the force of the rebound, the more ruthless the emperor will be...... The fiercer the battle between the monarch and the minister, the less time there is to take care of the Yizhou soldiers.
Take advantage of this time to immigrate and expand your strength. Waiting to train 200,000 elite soldiers and hoard enough food and ammunition, even if you tear your face with the imperial court, you don't have to be afraid!
"I was watching the mountain scenery at the head of the city, and I could hear the chaos outside the city......"
Playing with the people of the world, I'm afraid that Zhuge Wuhou can't compare to it back then!
"Grandpa Guo, Lord Xu is back!"
Footsteps sounded outside, Xu Zhi blushed, walked in from the outside, and saw Zhang Ke sitting in the middle, kneeling on the ground.
"Xiaguan thank Grandpa Guo, this life is yours!"
I don't blame Xu Zhi for being loyal, it is Zhang Ke's ability to calculate the last resort that makes him convinced and willing.
Zhang Ke picked up Xu Zhi with a smile and said with satisfaction: "Lord Xu, you should be in charge, Ben Jue is very pleased, I heard that many officials in Beijing have offered a price to cut off your head?" ”
Xu Zhi smiled nonchalantly: "Grandpa Guo, that is to say, Xiaguan and the new Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving eunuch Li Shi went out of Beijing together, protected by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and those small people didn't dare to do it!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing. Xu Zhi sat down and said word for word about the situation of entering the capital and facing the saint, although Zhang Ke had the news sent by Jinyiwei, but listening to the person concerned, it was still very different.
"Xu Zhongcheng."
"Humble duty."
"This time, the imperial court sent tax supervisors and mine supervisors, but is it true?"
"Returning to the country's grandfather, you definitely have to play for real." Xu Zhi said firmly that before he left Beijing, there was another person who rushed to the capital, and that was Bi Ziyan, the new head of the household department.
Bi Ziyan was transferred from Nanjing, and he passed through Shandong not long ago, and happened to meet the white-haired girl for the first time. Bi Ziyan was deeply shocked, he watched it twice in a row and memorized many singing passages. When he arrived in the capital, he played to the apocalypse, to save money and rest with the people.
His twists and turns were also an important factor in forcing the Apocalypse to open up its financial resources.
"Although it seems that it was Wei Zhongxian's idea to send a mine supervisor, Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, all supported it, plus Wei Guangwei, a university scholar, and Cui Chengxiu, a secretary of the military department, this force is not something that anyone can resist."
Xu Zhi said: "Grandpa Guo, from the humble point of view, although the courtiers are dissatisfied, but the cabinet and the celebrant are resolute, I think the arms can't twist the thighs!" ”
Yang Tingyun and Tang Guang nodded one after another, agreeing with Xu Zhi's judgment, but Zhang Ke was the only one with a smile on his face and disagreed.
"Hehe, there are policies and countermeasures, if the affairs of the Ming Dynasty were so simple, the world would have been peaceful long ago." Zhang Ke glanced at the bored Qiao Fu and said with a smile: "Chief Qiao Soldier, you immediately select two thousand elites, prepare the fast boat, and go south at any time." ”
Qiao Fu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked in surprise, "Is there a battle?" ”
"Maybe, I hope that the Donglin Party will show some ability, don't let me down!"
……
There is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, a fairyland on earth. If you can be an official in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is simply God's favor.
The eunuch Li Shi is a lucky guy, he recognized Wei Zhongxian as his godfather, and he was careful to be filial, so he got the throne of the eunuch of Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving.
The godfather let himself go south, just to collect money for the imperial court. Li Shi was not polite, and when he arrived in Suzhou, he set up a tax card at Simen to collect business taxes. At the same time, he personally took the soldiers to inspect the weaving workshops of the people, check the taxes, and did not let go of a family.
"Godfather, there is a large house in front of me, all of which are silk workshops, and I heard that there are hundreds of looms."
"Then what are you waiting for, go check it out right away."
The little eunuch looked embarrassed and said, "Godfather, I'm afraid it won't work, this is Lord Zhou Shunchang's family property!" He, he's too famous! ”R1152
