Chapter 1052: Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang

Previous Chapter

The method of drying sea salt is not a surprising thing, the previous generation has already had it, but it is only because of various well-known reasons that it is abandoned, but I didn't expect that the idea of sealing the boat was hit.

"Isn't Lord Feng worried that the amount of salt produced is too large, which will affect the salt tax revenue of the imperial court?"

Finally, Sanfu Chen Wen, who was also a cabinet minister, couldn't hold back and asked with anger on his face.

"Hehe, what is the salt tax of the imperial court now?"

Feng Zhou chuckled, but what he said was shocking: "It's only two million taels a year, and I have to exchange my life for patrolling the salt imperial history, the price of salt in the north has been high, is it okay to stabilize the price of salt so that the people can breathe a sigh of relief?"

"Salt Tax ......"

"Go to Nima's salt tax, if the salt tax is less than last year, how much less Lao Tzu can always subsidize with silver himself, right?"

Feng Zhou's face sank, and he suddenly scolded angrily, pointing his finger at Chen Wen and sneering: "If the Changlu Salt Farm not only does not affect the salt tax revenue, but also has a surplus, how much surplus will you Chen University take out from home and take the initiative to give to the treasury, okay?"

The whole dynasty was shocked, but he didn't expect Feng Zhou to be so bold, and he actually pointed at a cabinet minister at the court meeting and scolded him, which was simply insulting to Sven and not being a son of man.

But no one dares to come forward, this is the war of the ministers, and the courtiers below are not qualified to meddle at all, and if he is targeted by Feng Zhou, what if he wants to bet with him?

What's going on with the Jiangnan salt tax, except for the nerds who don't have good brains, who doesn't know what's going on?

If we can collect all the salt taxes, the national treasury will at least pay tens of millions of taels of silver every year!

No one knows how much production and income the Haiyan Salt Farm can produce and how much income it can make, and it is no joke if you accidentally get into it.

"You, you, you, this official has always been upright as an official, and the family has no money to ......"

Chen Wen was so angry that he fell back, blew his beard and glared at him, and he couldn't wait to slap Feng Zhou hard, and he opened his mouth with righteousness.

"Tsk, the beautiful concubine in the mansion of Li Ge's hometown, the thousands of fertile fields outside the city, and ......"

Feng Zhou interrupted Chen Wen's words without hesitation, and opened his mouth lightly with a sneer on his face.

"You, you, you......"

Chen Wen's old face was flushed, and his face was as embarrassed as pig's liver, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the quiet hall only heard him gasping for air.

Feng Zhou's face was full of disdain, and he didn't bother to look at this guy, bowed to the Son of Heaven, and continued to expound his 'policy outline' in terms of salt and iron.

After that, the great court meeting was extremely smooth, and all the courtiers saw the combat effectiveness of Feng Zhou, and they thought that they were not opponents at all, so they did not have the courage to refute it.

Whether it is the ear scraper of the sealed boat, or the obvious favoritism of the Son of Heaven, or the collective silence of several cabinet ministers, this great court meeting ended smoothly in a strange atmosphere.

"Lord Feng is so beautiful and domineering, I just hope that Lord Feng can maintain it for a long time!"

Out of the main hall, Chen Wen blocked Feng Zhou's way, and said with a cold and disdainful face: "I'm afraid that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will be doomed by then!"

"Gong Zhai threatens me?"

Feng Zhou smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Chen Wen, the word Anjian, the number of Zhai, Jiangxi Luling.

When Zifu ascended the throne today, he used clever tricks to drive away the eunuch Wang Lun, expelled the cabinet minister Qian Fu, and sat firmly in the position of the cabinet minister, which is Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and also respected him very much.

It can be said that Chen Wen has a very high prestige among the government and the opposition!

"Just a piece of advice!"

Chen Wen smiled coldly, his eyes were cold and murderous.

Hehe......

Feng Zhou smiled lightly and patted Chen Wen's shoulder, in the eyes of outsiders, the two behaved intimately, which caused a lot of surprise, and even the dark-minded suspicion that these two were singing a double reed just now.

"The day you fall, it will be the time when the Luling Chen family is completely destroyed!"

A cold and hard voice sounded in Chen Wen's ears, startling the old man and feeling extremely uncomfortable, and when he reacted, Feng Zhou had already strode away, and he said coldly with resentment on his face: "Let's see!"

That night, Chen Wen, a cabinet minister, suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the Li Mansion was in chaos, and he died without waiting for the imperial doctor invited from the palace to arrive.

On the second day, Feng Zhou personally led the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, as well as the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses to surround the Li Mansion, and directly broke into the house and raided the house.

Such a crazy move suddenly shook the government and the opposition, and the name of Fengzhou's 'wanton behavior' was great, and a cadre of Wenchen entered the palace to face the saint under the leadership of the first assistant Li Xian and the second assistant Shangchen, asking the saint to stop the crazy act of sealing the boat, and at the same time severely punish the 'improper' behavior of this guy.

Zhu saw that his face sank like water, and when he told Wenchen that the noise was almost the same, he slammed a thick fold in his hand at Li Xian's feet, and said coldly: "This is the so-called Shilin exemplary Li Ge, Shilin is too worthless, right?"

The two pavilion elders chuckled in their hearts, and they didn't dare to talk any more nonsense, and directly picked up the folds on the ground and read them carefully, the more they looked at them, the more ugly their faces became, and their bodies trembled slightly.

On top of the excerpts, there is conclusive evidence of Chen Wen's corruption and perversion of the law over the years, and the most serious one is to act as a protective umbrella for the salt merchants in Jiangnan to secretly collect amazing filial piety!

Originally, they wanted to say a few words of affection for the Chen Wen family, but when the extremely efficient team of copying the family put the two million taels of silver, 300,000 taels of gold, and all kinds of valuable treasures and jewelry copied from the Chen Wen family, as well as a single ancient book, as well as the land deeds of thousands of fields outside Gyeonggi City, as well as the deeds of dozens of shops in the prosperous area of the city, as well as the contracts of Chen Wen's ten thousand good fields and hundreds of shops in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Jianshen's face was as black as ink, and the two pavilion elders sighed and were speechless. And a cadre of Wenchen was so shocked that his face turned pale and staggered.

The so-called whole world, it is not the king's land! The shore of the land is not the king's minister!

It stands to reason that everything in the world belongs to the Son of Heaven.

But this sentence is always just words!

The annual gold and silver in the palace is only one or two million taels, and the amount of money in this palace is still insufficient.

But look at these elders, they are richer than the Son of Heaven! What kind of honesty and honesty do they boast about! How can the young Son of Heaven not be angry?

"Chen Wen's thief deceived the king, dismissed all his merits, and all the family was reduced to lowly status......"

Zhu Jianshen gave an order in a calm tone, and a good family collapsed in one day......

The elders of the two dynasties, the cabinet ministers died violently, and his family collapsed overnight.

As for who the murderer is, everyone knows in their hearts, except for the cabinet minister who has just entered the cabinet, who is known as the top martial arts Feng Zhou, who else can there be?

But everyone knows that there is no evidence for this at all.

For a time, the name of Fengzhou's 'powerful minister' did not go away!

In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xianzhishi, the first assistant of the cabinet, died of illness two months later.

He is in his sixties, and he has entered the age of sixties, and he has been a great minister for many years, and he can be regarded as having a smooth journey.

But the civil officials in the court are like mourning!

Because there seems to be one less one who can check and balance the boat.

In this situation, it doesn't matter who serves as the prefect of Jinmen!

Because the boats are used by the northern people who are unwilling to be officialdom, there is a natural gap between them and the Manchu Dynasty ministers.

So even if there are many changes and twists and turns, no one will get close to the civil official group from Jiangnan!

However, the first assistant of the cabinet fully supported the move to close the boat.

"A bunch of idiots who just talk about people and don't do personnel, do you really think that without you, the court will not be able to function?"

And in a place that everyone did not expect, the "police station" vertically controlled by the Criminal Department of the Ming Dynasty began to be established in the capital and Jinmen!

At the same time, Feng Zhou also took advantage of the situation to establish an armed police department to deal with organized evil forces.

But all this is completely unnoticed under the huge income of the Jinmen Changlu Salt Factory......
