Chapter 569: Slow Swinging

When Wang Bengu's copy of this impeachment chapter was delivered to Xu Jie, Xu Ge was discussing with Zhang Juzheng about opening the sea. Among his disciples, Zhang Juzheng is the one who supports Kaihai the most, and he also sees the stakes thoroughly. From his own point of view, Xu Jie does not support the opening of the sea, and is even more opposed to taxation. You must know that he is the largest landowner in Songjiang, and half of the fertile fields in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture are from Xu Jie, which is dozens of times more than Yan Hong's fields in Linhai County, Taizhou. Xu Ge's hometown is rich and rich, to a large extent, because his family has a lot of land, and he does not pay taxes, just collecting rent is enough to eat a mouth full of oil. If the imperial court really began to collect trade taxes from gentry officials, would it be land taxes in the future? If the land tax is levied, how much grain do you have to spit out in a year? The so-called collection of money is easy and difficult to pay, let Xu Jie collect money and occupy an area, he is naturally happy, let him pay a little difficult to pay.

However, he can finally distinguish the priorities, and the first priority of Zhilu Dao is to marry a good son of heaven. Zhang Juzheng also pointed out that this matter of opening the sea to collect taxes must be the intention of the Son of Heaven, otherwise what would the Yan family do with this? And if the Yan family is responsible for this matter in the future, then they will inevitably have to bear the responsibility of collecting taxes, which is equivalent to putting it on the opposite side of the civil and military officials, so if this matter is done, in fact, the Yan family will be unlucky.

Since this matter of opening the sea can make the emperor good and not offend the Yan family, and in the future, the Yan family can be roasted on the fire, Xu Jie is naturally happy to see it. After watching the twists and turns of the impeachment of Yan Hong, Xu Jie's brows furrowed slightly when he first saw it, but he didn't move, and when he saw the last one, he said angrily: "Wang Bengu is going back more and more, how can this impeachment chapter be written like this, he still doesn't want to do it." Xu Hai's case was pardoned by the Heavenly Family. It's already an iron case. At this time, it is wrong to say anything to pardon Xu Hai. Doesn't that mean it's the fault of Heaven? With such an impeachment, no matter how angry the Heavenly Family is, they will not punish Yan Hong in the slightest, is this to participate in him or to protect him? ”

Zhang Juzheng took this chapter, and after reading it once, he knew it in his heart. Although the teacher was talking about Xu Hai, he was actually angry. It's still in the last one. The Xu family did something in Songjiang, and he was not ignorant of the way, Wang Bengu naturally touched his teacher's lung tube. Besides, now above the court, who does not accept land contributions? The 10,000 acres of land in Taizhou have both fertile and poor land, which is not a big deal, and even this impeachment chapter only states that the land is more than 10,000 mu. Instead of more than 10,000 acres of fertile land. In the teacher's field, there are 400,000 acres of good land alone. If this is accurate, how should the teacher deal with himself?

However, he didn't want to say it clearly, so he had to say: "Yes, Wang Zimin is indeed too Meng Lang this time." This peaceful thing has always been a big trouble for the henchmen of the heavenly family, even a small victory has a great contribution, not to mention that this time Yan Hong and Hu Zongxian are real big victories, Chen Dong and Ye Ma have been captured, such a big victory has never been achieved. If what the family wants to hear today is that the Japanese are swept away, Wang Bengu is on this chapter at this time, that is, he can't get along with the heavenly family, and it is inevitable to degrade and release him. ”

You must know that Jiajing's country was inherited from his cousin Wuzong Zhengde, and the courtiers insisted that he serve his father in the Zhengde line, and he was not allowed to respect his own father, which made Jiajing Long Live very dissatisfied. Although Emperor Zhengde was hacked by the civil officials, saying that he drove the expedition in person, killed 600 people on his own side, and only killed 16 enemies, but no one with a brain will believe this record. After Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, he had the meaning of parting with Wuzong, and even all kinds of black materials about Wuzong, in fact, it was also after Jiajing ascended the throne that it began to circulate in the world. Therefore, in his heart, the old emperor has always hoped that he can also compare with Zhengde in martial arts, but the court is not very competitive, and the war is always not very smooth.

Last year, Yang Bo defeated Kuten Khan, and the reason why the emperor attached so much importance to it was also for the needs of propaganda. Therefore, even if it is a small victory, it is necessary to publicize it as a big victory, not to mention that Hu Zongxian is originally a big victory, the four major Kou, at present, one has recruited An to rebel, one is begging for mercy in prison, and the other two are directly destroyed, and tens of thousands of true widows have been killed, has the Wuzong Dynasty ever had such a brilliant victory? Isn't it because of the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven that there is such a prosperous atmosphere? At this time, if you question the truth of the battle, it is actually equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face, can he be happy? After such a big victory, there are some problems in the military salary, and there are some inaccuracies in the head, and the emperor will not even investigate it, as for whose wife and sister are accepted, and take the daughter of a good family as a concubine, it is even less troublesome.

Xu Jie nodded and said: "What Uncle said is true, although this matter is a big crime, it also depends on how to use it." Now that the Yan family's holy family is in full swing, what is the use of participating in him at this time? In vain, if one day, the sky has eyes, and the saints are not there, this crime can make him irreversible. It's hateful that Wang Bengu is so confused, and it's really not suitable for him to be a gendarin official, the old man thought, it's better to send him to a place to be a county magistrate for a few years first, and hone his temperament. ”

You must know that Xu Jie, a person of this value, is not trivial, he said that he hone his mind, but in fact, he was sentenced to death for Wang Bengu's promotion path. As for Wang Bengu's twists and turns, naturally no one really takes it seriously.

There was a lot of noise in the court, but Emperor Jiajing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched everyone fight with great interest. He had good things in his heart, and recently Feng Bao quietly came to report that the amount of the donation had been set, but it was 1.4 million taels of silver. Of course, the old emperor didn't know what to say, and as soon as Feng Bao reported like this, one hundred thousand taels of silver disappeared like this. He only felt that this number was already considerable, and Daming's annual financial income was only a lot, and with so much at once, he could save more money for his grandson.

Emperor Jiajing never thought that his 1.4 million taels of silver, together with the part of Yan Hong and the wealthy merchants of Wufeng who had dotted up and down and the eunuchs drifted, were now remembered by some people.

The east gate of the Beijing division was the final destination of the northern Cao Yun at this time. Whether it is grain or taxes, they have to get off the ship here, and then transport them to Taicang or the inner carrier warehouse by carriage and horse. Naturally, there is a gathering place of three religions and nine streams, countless coolies are waiting to work here, and there are also a lot of carriages and horses. Gambling halls, restaurants, prostitutes and so on came into being. During this period, there were indispensable traitors and criminals, and they did evil deeds. It's just that the underground society, there are also rules of conduct in the underground society, who can be provoked and who can't be provoked, everyone has a very good idea in their hearts.

Today, the east gate is very quiet, and the coolies who used to squat on the dock and wait for work have been driven away by fierce thugs, telling a few tribute satin boats that they can't unload the goods, and no one is allowed to come, otherwise they will be killed directly without discussion.

Zhao Sheng, the big boss here in Dongbianmen, sat on the ground, and he also came out in person today. He was also born as a lifu who worked at the Dongbianmen Wharf, and later fought several times in blood, desperately drilling the camp, and now he has become a Zhao official, every day in the city, dealing with wine and dinner, tea and gambling, and so on to come to the dock to hang around

But today, he seems to have returned to the past, from Zhao Daguan to Zhao Boss, wearing a short coat, a hero scarf on his head, an axe pinned to his waist, and a dagger in his boots, as if he was going to fight with people and seize the dock. Several lay masters he hired from the Shaolin Temple also cheered up, pressed their hands on their weapons, and were ready to tear them apart. There is also the third master who was born in the Tang Sect of Sichuan, and he has also changed his lazy appearance in the past, a pair of eagle eyes are shining, he looks around, he has six leopard skin bags hanging on his waist, and he has leather gloves on his hands, and he doesn't care about the heat, so his hands have never come out of the leopard skin bags.

And the hundreds of brothers under Zhao Sheng also brought their guys to the dock to wait, and the hundred and ten trailers hired in the carriage and horse shop have been prepared, just waiting for an order to load silver. It's no wonder that they put up such a big battle, this number is really a bit big, so big that it can crush them.

One and a half million pieces of silver! This is not counting the profit for your father-in-law, this 1.5 million silver money that goes straight into the inner money, I don't know how much turmoil will be stirred up by the road. The Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue is only more than 2 million silver, which is transported in installments and batches, and it is really rare to transport so much money at one time. This business was personally handed over by Feng Yunchong, who was in charge of the East Factory, and if something went wrong, his Zhao Boss's net worth and life would all be accounted for.

At this moment, I saw the dust rising in the distance, more than a dozen fast horses flew to the front, the first two horses, the head of the person was less than thirty years old, the face was yellow and beardless, the body was fat, and he was dressed as a palace eunuch. The guy on the dock, who can't see his father-in-law, naturally doesn't know this person. But the man next to him, everyone recognized. The tiger body of this life, the waist of the bear, the burly physique, the brown shirt, soap boots, the pointed hat, and the bear-shaped complement on the chest, are the ancestors of Dongchang who are in charge of thousands of households and are deadly.

Behind these two people, more than a dozen men, all of them with burly bodies, mighty appearances, shining eyes, and towering temples, are good at hitting the skills at a glance. Zhao Sheng didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked up to meet him, kowtowed, and said: "Zhao Sheng, the grass people, has seen General Feng, and I hope that General Feng will rise and be rich and prosperous." ”

For such a little person, Feng Yunchong didn't bother to pay attention to it, but said coldly: "Kneel over there." Zhao Sheng hurriedly knelt down according to Feng Yunchong's point, only to see Feng Qianhu turn over and dismount, and said to the eunuch: "Gonggong Zhang, please." ”

The eunuch strangled his mount, turned around, and stepped on Zhao Sheng's back, grinning at Zhao Sheng's teeth, but he didn't dare to move, so he had to be a good human dismount. Waiting for the father-in-law to get off his mount, the knight behind him took the father-in-law's mount and bolted it.

The father-in-law stood on the ground, looked at Zhao Sheng, and said to Feng Yunchong: "This is the person you are looking for?" Can it be done? If this mission fails, I said Lao Feng, our brothers will wait to see the king of Hades. (To be continued......)
