After Ye Mingfei was raided, Hongmen's business license was issued particularly smoothly, and no businessmen continued to fight, such a situation should be worth celebrating, but Zheng Xunrui understands that this is only the first step, as for the adjustment of agricultural taxes, he is not able to act for the time being, after all, the adjustment of agricultural taxes offends the entire scholar class in Huaibei, and before he has absolute strength, it is better not to find too much trouble for himself.

Ye Mingfei's house was raided, and he and his family were also imprisoned, and the matter was far from over here, and soon a scholar doctor began to intercede for Ye Mingfei.

Ye Mingfei's crime has long been made public, he manipulated the Cao Gang, exploited the people, gathered a large amount of ill-gotten gains, and secretly manipulated the Cao Gang to fight against the government, according to the Da Ming Law, it is indeed a crime of raiding the house, and it is a crime of killing the head, as for how to deal with it later, it depends on how the Governor's Mansion grasps it.

In fact, the businessmen of Huaibei are also looking at this matter, Ye Mingfei is the president of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce after all, even if he has done a lot of bad things, but his identity is not ordinary, one is a scholar with a meritorious reputation, and the other is a scholar of Donglin Academy, it should be said that these two titles, in Huaibei and Nanzhili, are very dazzling, especially the identity of the scholar of Donglin Academy, which makes many officials look sideways, and no one wants to offend the Donglin Party too much.

Even Xu Wanghua has such worries.

Zheng Xunrui did not ask for the opinions of others on how to deal with Ye Mingfei, but he still had to listen to Xu Wanghua's views, at least to be able to hear a more comprehensive opinion.

"My lord, the adjustment of trade taxes has been successful, and the merchants of Huaibei, including those from Zhejiang, Nanjing, Suzhou and other places, have to follow the rules when they come to trade in various places in Huaibei.

Ye Mingfei was originally the president of the Huaibei Chamber of Commerce. He is also a scholar with a reputation for being a student, and he is also a member of the Donglin Party, and there are many things involved behind it, and the Governor's Office has confiscated all his property. The subordinates thought that it would be enough to exile Ye Mingfei and his family to Qiongzhou. ”

The reason why the subordinates think so is mainly because there are still a lot of things that need to be implemented in the future, and the adults will adjust the trade tax in various places in Huaibei. Strategizing, after such a long time, the situation has been very calm, there is no movement in the capital and Nanjing, in fact, the merchants in Huaibei have understood the meaning, and they dare not disobey the orders of the governor's palace. ”

"But the Donglin Party, the Fushe and the Ying Society's readers are different. They have almost reached the point where they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and their subordinates believe that under the current situation, it is better not to stimulate the Donglin party too much, otherwise they will attack them in groups, and the situation will get out of control. ”……

When Xu Wanghua explained the reason in detail, Zheng Xunrui listened very carefully.

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui paced back and forth in the room and did not speak immediately.

After a long while, Zheng Xunrui spoke with a firm expression.

"Mr. Xu. What you say makes a lot of sense, everyone knows the truth of taking it when you see it, and I'm sure many people in the Governor's Palace think so, but I don't plan to do it. What we have to do, I'm afraid there is no atmosphere of taking it when you see it. ”

"I have long said that the day will come when the contradictions between us and the Donglin Party, the Fushe and the Yingshe will be completely intensified, and we will adjust the trade tax in Huaibei, which on the one hand seems to be to increase the revenue of the government. On the other hand, it is necessary to shake the foundation of the Donglin Party, the Fushe and the Yingshe, and the information we have has fully shown that the Donglin Party members are only linked with the merchants in the south, and this also includes the scholars and doctors in the south. ”

"Everything we are doing now involves more than just personal grievances, the struggle between us and the Donglin Party is probably more cruel than the battle, we have seized the best opportunity, we must not waste it, there is a sentence I don't want to say, the amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, when dealing with the Donglin Party, we can not have the slightest soft-heartedness."

"Ye Mingfei didn't have any huge problems, he chose confrontation, which was also an instinctive reaction, but it was a pity that he didn't see the situation clearly, thinking that relying on the Donglin Party, he would be able to turn the danger into a disaster and settle everything."

"Now, Ye Mingfei is afraid that he still has this kind of understanding, don't think that he has been completely convinced, and don't think that all the other businessmen are willing to pay taxes, once we make the decision to exile and let Ye Mingfei save his life, then the next step, we will face more things, Ye Mingfei is very likely to go to Nanjing or even the capital to shout grievances, at that time, the Donglin Party in Nanjing and the capital may set off a wave, so that the businessmen in Huaibei will also be ready to move, The stability we have created will be shaken. ”

"If Ye Mingfei wants to blame, blame the Donglin Party, it was the Donglin Party who made him lose his life."

"If we kill Ye Mingfei, at least the merchants in Huaibei will understand what to do in the future."

"Mr. Xu, what we are doing is just getting started, at this time, we must not have the idea of relaxation, let alone think that the success of a certain thing can make us ignore our opponents." ……

Xu Wanghua nodded frequently, and his expression became more serious, killing Ye Mingfei will definitely cause a lot of discussion in a short period of time, but from the perspective of long-term interests, it is still worth it, but Ye Mingfei is not guilty to death, but unfortunately, no one will consider this aspect, sometimes killing people is not considered from the crime, but from the need.

"What the adults mean, the subordinates understand, and the subordinates will handle this matter immediately."

"Okay, you need to be decisive in dealing with this matter, report to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, handle it cleverly, Ye Mingfei is just the identity of a student, the Governor's Mansion can deal with it directly, I mean, at the same time as reporting, clarify the opinion of the Governor's Office, that is to say, the opinion of the Governor's Office is impossible to change, and there is no need to wait for the approval of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple."

Xu Wanghua nodded, since the matter has come to this point, there is really no need to wait for the approval of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

"What should Ye Mingfei's family do?"

It makes sense for Xu Wanghua to ask this question, after all, Ye Mingfei has a great influence in Nanzhili, and from the perspective of cutting grass and eradicating roots, his family should also be dealt with, otherwise he will become a threat to the Governor's Palace.

"This kind of thing, don't implicate Ye Mingfei's family, I think give their family a certain amount of silver taels, so that they can live, but it is not okay for them to continue to stay in Nanzhili, let them go to Zhejiang."

Xu Wanghua was stunned, he didn't expect Zheng Xunrui to let Ye Mingfei's family go.

"My lord, Ye Mingfei's family has a lot of influence, and his subordinates think that they need to be exiled to Qiongzhou at least, and they are not allowed to leave Qiongzhou without an amnesty will, as for assisting a certain amount of silver taels, so that their families can live, their subordinates agree."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua and sighed, he knew that he could only agree, after all, Daming's situation was like this.

"Okay, just deal with it according to what you said, but in the future, I think it's debatable, we need to have self-confidence in everything we do, Ye Mingfei was killed, his family may retaliate, but we have no reason to be afraid, once there is any change in his family, we can also deal with it mercilessly."

"Do you want to see Ye Mingfei, Ye Mingfei has repeatedly asked for it, looking forward to seeing your adult."

"No need, there's no need to see it, I just hope that after Ye Ming flies underground, he can understand that doing business can seek profits, but once his hand is stretched too long, for the sake of profit, everything is not enough, it will definitely suffer retribution."

Ye Mingfei's matter was dealt with quickly, and after only one month of detention, he was beheaded for public display, and all his family members were exiled to Qiongzhou, and he was never allowed to leave Qiongzhou without a holy decree.

When Ye Mingfei's family was exiled, the situation was very miserable, more than 200 people, old and young, set off from Huai'an and went to Qiongzhou.

Everyone knows very well that Ye Mingfei, who once called for wind and rain in Huaibei, was completely planted this time, not only losing his own life, but also causing his family to suffer a huge disaster.

This matter, in Huaibei and even in Nanzhili, caused a great shock, the Governor's Mansion handled Ye Mingfei's matter so quickly, many people did not expect, after all, Ye Mingfei in Huaibei and even Nanzhili, has an unusual identity, the Governor's Mansion is simply decisive, without the slightest drag, not afraid of any pressure at all.

For a while, a lot of discussions appeared, most people thought that Ye Mingfei would not be killed for his crimes, and he would not be beheaded for public display, and some people thought that Ye Mingfei still did not know the current affairs, and at such a critical moment, he actually fought against the Governor's Palace, which was an inevitable outcome.

Of course, there are still people who talk about it in private, saying that the governor is ruthless and kills Ye Mingfei, but it is just to set an example for other businessmen and tell them what they should do in the future.

Everyone was also discussing, after all, Huaibei was under the firm control of the governor.

There is another thing that makes many people strange, the readers of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe who used to like to jump out are very quiet this time, it should be said that when they encounter such a thing, they have already jumped out, expressing strong opposition at the same time, they will also gather to shout loudly, but this time there is no movement.

It was from this incident that everyone realized the power of the Governor. (To be continued.) )
