Qian Qianyi didn't say much to Liu Ziguang, only said four words: "Enough is enough." "Smart people don't need a thousand words to talk to each other, and these four words are enough. Qian Qianyi, who was all an official of the Donglin family, was naturally very uncomfortable, and the fact that the dignified Donglin leader and cabinet personally delivered a message to Liu Ziguang shows that an attitude is both a compromise and a threat.

Enough is enough, that is, don't care about the things in front, and don't worry about the things in the back, you don't have to be in a hurry, everyone has no good fruit to eat. However, Liu Ziguang is a character who eats soft and does not eat hard, and Qian Qianyi's words did not cause him any trouble, just shrugged his shoulders and forgot it.

What is the Donglin Party? Can friends despise the imperial court, blatant corruption and bribery, Liu Ziguang has already made up his mind that whoever has a black hand to take the silver of the embankment will do it, in fact, the Nanchang investigation has been a few days, the results of the investigation are shocking, the scope of the scope is simply too wide, the main embezzlers are concentrated in the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial History of the Patrol River, the three yamen are in charge of the operation of the funds for the construction of the embankment, their means are usually like this, the patrol of the Imperial History Yamen and Ma Yun colluded to forge serious targets, the labor fees and food expenses of migrant workers were reported to the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Household Affairs asked the Ministry of Industry to verify that after the Ministry of Industry verified, the Ministry of Household approved the silver, and the silver was transferred to the Patrol River Imperial History Yamen, and a group of people returned this part of the silver to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and those officials who contributed to itOf course, this is just a small fight, and the big head is still the project money.

At the beginning, Ma Yun's winning bid price was 8,800 taels of silver per mile, this price is indeed low enough, if the real operation is ironclad loss, what if the silver is not enough, what to do with the addition, when the bidding was originally tendered, the rules were not nailed, saying that there is an unknown situation, how to deal with it, Ma Yun forged a lot of additional projects, such as requisitioning fields along the way, extending the range of the embankment to 150 zhang, and excavating a large number of diversion nullahs and flood reservoirs, which are all large-scale expenditures, consuming a huge amount of silver, in fact, the construction can not use so much land, so the shrewd Ma Yun took advantage of this, colluded with the local government to forcibly expropriate the people's land first, and said that there is this piece in the planning drawings, and the shrewd people will dig itThe silver trust relationship, please adults find a way to "divert", the people who are not smart enough will make trouble and protest, at this time, the government bought by Ma Yun came forward to forcibly expropriate the land, of course, after the land is expropriated, it will not dig any ditch, but nominally confiscate, and after a period of time, it will be sold to the local landlords at a discount, just this means of holding fish with white hands has deceived millions of silver from the court and the common people!

The specific construction person is a second-level contractor like Wang Jiu, and their project money is dead, only to ensure a small profit, and can not be settled in time, there must be a long account period, this money must be in Ma Yun's hands first, for his other business advances, in short, the entire river embankment project, Ma Yun not only did not pay a penny, all kinds of bribes, but also left a surplus of millions of taels.

Empty gloves, the white wolf's unique trick is so exquisite, the entire Ming Dynasty, only Ma Yun and Ma boss have this ability, the silver for repairing the embankment comes from a wide range of sources, in addition to the income of the treasury, there are donations from the gentry of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor's internal funds, including hundreds of thousands of taels of silver donated by him Liu Ziguang, these corrupt officials and profiteers are so fraudulent is equivalent to stealing his Liu Ziguang's money, stealing money is not good, everything involved in the size of the river embankment project, Yamen officials at all levels everyone thinks about how to make a fortune, no one cares about the quality of the river embankment, how to safety along the river, and the working conditions and labor intensity of those coolie migrant workers。

Liu Ziguang is an out-and-out tyrant, his success is completely dependent on himself, relying on a group of brothers, real knives and guns, although there has been a short honeymoon period with the Donglin Party, but after all, it is not all the way, after the common enemy of both sides is eliminated, it will naturally enter a vague hostile state, the literati have always been very jealous of the martial arts to interfere in politics, Liu Ziguang is both a martial artist and a relative, with heavy troops, the party is everywhere, the most important thing is that the personal relationship with the current emperor is so good, these have made the Donglin Party deeply jealous and jealous, for a long time, the Donglin Party has adopted a strategy of forbearance, according to their judgment, according to Liu Ziguang's reckless character, the higher he climbed, the worse he fell, but Liu Zi came down in the past two yearsNot only did the light not fend for itself, but lived more nourishingly, mixed with wind and water, and married several daughters-in-law with great backgrounds. The authority in his hand is not less at all, but there is also a Beiyang Naval Division, Shanghai Dao, Taiwan Province and half of Shandong are his sphere of influence, and the common people talk about Zhenwuhou, and they are also picking two big brothers, and the emperor has increased his trust in him, and now Liu Ziguang's black hand has finally reached the head of the Donglin Party.

Qian Qianyi, as Donglin Kui, is not in vain, he is not only outstanding in writing, strategy and courage are very good, otherwise he would not have endured for many years during the eunuch party's reign, secretly accumulated strength to overthrow the tyranny, and now Donglin has mastered most of the positions among the civil officials, and there are also a lot of Donglin people in the prefectures and counties at all levels across the country, but this party is not very close, and it is divided into a number of factions, such as Qi Zhenming is a big faction, and there are many people in Donglin, and there will inevitably be all kinds of uncontrollable things, such as corruption and bribery, which cannot be eliminated。

Qian Qianyi is not an idealist, he knows that a clean government is not necessarily an efficient government, and a corrupt government is not necessarily inefficient, and what he has to do is to coordinate this relationship. The big case of the river embankment project involved Gao Yifei, the envoy of Huguang, this person was an official promoted by Qian Qianyi, and he was about to take over the position of the governor of Huguang, and something happened at this juncture, which naturally made Qian Qianyi very sad, Gao Yifei is Ma Yun's brother-in-law, and he must have a share of the fraud case, the people are too angry, and the emperor is angry, and then come forward to protect him, it is obviously unwise, only to abandon this chess piece, but if you dig deeper, it will not work, it will touch the bottom line of Qian Qianyi, if you check it out by Liu Ziguang's temperament, half of the officials in Huguang will be laid off, and most of the officials in the six departments of the capital will also be eaten, and Sima Yun's activity ability is too strong, and his connections are too wide, and all aspects are involved, just say that Qian Qianyi himself has also received itAn ancient painting sent by Ma Yuntuo.

As Dong Lin Kui, as the cabinet of the imperial court, at this time, he should come forward to stop this kind of behavior that damages the foundation of the imperial court, who is not a sage, who can be without fault, since Gao Yifei's black yarn has been removed, Ma Yun has also been imprisoned, why bother to force people to death step by step, it is precisely because of these considerations that Qian Qianyi will give Liu Ziguang a message and ask him to stop in moderation.

Although the investigation team has changed a group of people, but it belongs to the case of changing the soup but not the medicine, how to investigate, in fact, the initiative is already in the hands of Liu Ziguang, the emperor listens to his letter, he can set off as much storm as he wants, although the words have already been said, can Liu Ziguang know the current affairs, or two words, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Qian Qianyi did not return to the house, but went directly to the mansion of several Shangshu to contact......

The investigation team set off again, this time the envoy was still Xu Jiujing, in addition to those members appointed by the emperor, there were also some more Nanchang fanzi wearing the robes of low-level officials in Dali Temple, which was specially arranged by Liu Ziguang, in order not to be interfered with in the investigation work, the ability of those corrupt officials is not small, in case a killer emerges to kill several adults, it is unknown. Accompanying the ship were some witnesses who had entered Beijing to file complaints, as well as their exhibits and documents, as well as various intelligence materials of the secret investigation of the South Factory, and so on, which could be described as well-prepared and foolproof.

Liu Ziguang naturally will not go with him, such a trivial matter to his subordinates to handle, he is still every day in the small courtyard waiting for the birth of the child, recently happy events have been frequent, telegrams from Nanyang said that the Dutch reinforcement fleet finally arrived in the Strait of Malacca, was dumpled by the sailors of the China Merchants Bureau, the natives of Sumatra tried to rebel in vain, Anthony led the army to kill, slaughtered tens of thousands of people, the roads around Badawi on both sides of the street trees are full of indigenous heads, the aborigines walk together with more than two people, it will be considered that the plot is wrong, can be hunted and killed, the cruel high-pressure rule lasted for a month, the natives have completely surrendered, and now one by one is more obedient than a dog, the Kingdom of Java has been reduced to the China Merchants Bureauof semi-colonies.

The preparation of the stock exchange is also very smooth, with the strong support of Shanghai Dao Yamen, 100,000 new shares of China Merchants can be opened in the near future, waiting for the line, this time it is a public approach, and it can be circulated after listing, last year's profits of China Merchants are very considerable, each shareholder has received a three-percent dividend, this year, China Merchants dominates Nanyang, the benefits will only be better, the new stock bank will inevitably usher in a good start, by the way, you can take advantage of this momentum, and the business of China Merchants related to the industry stocks, such as Jiangnan Shipyard, such as Merlin Cannery, and Nanyang Brothers Tobacco CompanyHigh-quality enterprises such as Liguo Iron Works, Lianfeng Weapons Chain Store, and Wuchang Shipyard can raise a large amount of funds to expand their operations through their own stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

There is a lot of good news, but it can't match the joy of Liu Ziguang about to become a father, the child may be born at any time, Concubine Nangong led a group of stable women, imperial doctors, and palace maids to prepare a large pot of hot water and disinfected alcohol on the stove of several families around at any time, scissors and knives for delivery, clean cotton cloth, and all are ready to wait for the arrival of the little marquis.
