Ruan Dacheng is rich, quite rich, twenty years later, he can still take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to bribe Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, with a cloth body, so that Ma Shiying, who he recommended, can ascend to a high position, which is enough to see how rich his net worth is, and now he is still in the officialdom, so it is naturally not easy to make a move.

The silver ticket of 2,000 taels of Huitong Qian Zhuang is extremely heavy, but Ruan Dacheng is not taken seriously from beginning to end, as if he is only giving away a few pieces of waste paper, Yuan Dahai is ashamed of himself for such a bold shot, and he can't help but sigh at the wealth of these officials of the Donglin Party.

Unlike later generations who believed that most of the Donglin officials were incorruptible and had no money to spare, the Donglin Party officials were actually very rich, except for a very few people, such as Yang Lian, Wei Dazhong, etc., most of the Donglin officials' family wealth was in the amount of 100,000, and some even had millions of family wealth. Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that all this money was obtained by them through corruption, but it is undeniable that these Donglin officials are a bunch of vampires, because they are greedy and unscrupulous, and use all kinds of means of "seeking benefits for the people" to hand over commercial taxes, mining taxes, tea taxes, salt taxes, etc., which should have been handed over to the national treasury and used as expenses for the imperial court, into the pockets of "privates"!

This "private" was a clique, a gentry bureaucracy supported by the landlords and merchant class. And the Donglin Party is actually the spokesperson of this interest group, and most of them are from this interest group! Therefore, their ruling principle is to continuously reduce the tax payment of the gentry class, reduce or even pay no taxes, and spread all the reduced taxes to the peasants, and this method naturally angers and resentment, coupled with the natural disaster of the Xiaoice River, forcing the people to have no way to live, so they have to rise up, thus ruining the fortune of the Daming country.

In Yuan Dahai's view, in fact, no matter what kind of natural disasters and weather, as long as there is land, even if it is a poor harvest or a bad harvest, the people will not starve to death, and the fundamental reason why they are forced to a dead end is that there is no land to plant! And these lands are not concentrated in the hands of some eunuch eunuchs, on the contrary, the vast majority of this land is controlled by the landlord and gentry group represented by the Donglin Party, and they do not need to pay, or only pay a small amount of taxes symbolically! And the landless peasants will be knocked out by the Donglin Party until they are driven to a dead end!

This is the true face of the Donglin Party, to put it bluntly, seeking benefits for the class through various means is the core of the Donglin Party's governance, so the Donglin people have money.

Yuan Dahai envied Ruan Dacheng's gang of Donglin Party members who were all big guys, and at the same time, they also had the heart of encroachment, thinking that when the Donglin Party completely collapsed, he had to find a way to make Wei Zhongxian give a fat difference, and he would knock a lot of money out of the Donglin vampires! Otherwise, I really can't help myself!

"Chef, where are we going now?"

After taking the silver ticket from Qian En, Guo Kegang smiled and put it into his arms, and asked Yuan Dahai what he was doing below. With silver, you should naturally go to have fun, go to the restaurant to feed your stomach, and then find a kiln to be happy.

Yuan Dahai looked up at the sky, but said, "Go find Du Lao Wu." ”

Du Lao Wu is the head of the East Factory, and he is also the confidant of Zhang Wenyuan, the eunuch of the Si Li Suitang, who ranks second in the four major stalls of the East Factory, and is specifically responsible for the investigation of the officials of the six departments of the imperial court. Because of the relationship between Zhang Wenyuan, although Du Lao Wu is nominally just a head of the team, he is also a talkative figure in the East Factory, and the hundreds of households who are not hard in the background dare not dare to hold him up when they see him.

Xiong Youan's confession alone is not enough to prove that Wang Wenyan violated the law, after all, this matter did not come to pass, and not many people know about it, even if Wang Wenyan admits it, it can be regarded as an attempt to blackmail at best, and he cannot be convicted of any crime.

Yuan Dahai adheres to the principle that if you don't make a move, you will kill someone, so you must obtain accurate evidence that Wang Wenyan accepted bribes to seek illegal things for others, otherwise he can't help him. Therefore, he must ask Du Lao Wu for help, otherwise he will rely on these few people under him to find out what Wang Wenyan has done one by one, and he is afraid that he will have to investigate it for a year and a half. Obviously, he can't wait, and he can't wait.

As soon as he heard that he was going to ask Du Lao Wu for help, Qian En was a little worried: "Du Lao Wu doesn't look down on us on weekdays, can he help us?" ”

Zhang Dexi and Li Qing also shook their heads, who doesn't know Du Laowu's virtue? On weekdays, people who have never looked at each other properly, relying on a stall hood, can't tolerate people in their eyes. Now Yuan Dahai wants to ask him for help, isn't it boring to find himself?

"Today is different from the past, in the past, we were a cold bench that no one answered, and anyone could step on us, but now, we are doing things for the factory company, and he Du Lao Wu can only cooperate with me obediently unless his brain is broken."

Yuan Dahai is not worried that Du Lao Wu will not help, he now has Wei Zhongxian's "Shang Fang Sword", if Du Lao Wu really does not know the current affairs, he will sue him in front of Wei Zhongxian, with Wei Zhongxian's temper and eagerness to check Wang Wenyan's mood, I am afraid that there will be two more Zhang Wenyuan to protect, and Du Lao Wu will also have to fall to the ground.

"Don't think about being happy just yet, it's important to get down to business."

As soon as he said hello, Yuan Dahai took Qian En and them to Dongchang to find Du Lao Wu, and walked to Fengsheng Hutong, but saw the passers-by in front of them as if they had seen ghosts, running around the street, and following them were dozens of big men with sticks, shouting loudly while chasing passers-by, "Avoid it!" Collision avoidance! Mrs. Feng Sheng has returned to the house! ”

In the shout of "Mrs. Fengsheng returns to the house", I saw an incomparably gorgeous soft sedan chair slowly walking towards the alley under the lifting of eight eunuchs. There was a group of people in front of the sedan car, and at a glance I was afraid that there were hundreds of people, men and women, some with weapons, some with some messy things, and even those with spittoons, wearing everything, as if singing a big opera, so lively.

When the sedan chair marched to the front of the crowd, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Mrs. Old Ancestor Chitose!" ”

Mrs. Ancestor Chitose?

Yuan Dahai was stunned for a moment by this strange call, and then he laughed, who is Mrs. Fengsheng, of course he knows, isn't it the first nurse of the Ming Dynasty, the young woman of the Yinyue guest!

According to the lobbyist Yin Yue is now only in her early thirties, but she is called "Mrs. Ancestor", and I don't know how she accepted this title, Yuan Dahai smiled, and suddenly wanted to see how this legendary first nurse is a big breast, and whether her true face is as glamorous as the history books....

Mrs. Fengsheng's pomp is really big enough, Guo Kegang poked his head and glanced at it a few times, then stuck out his tongue and pouted: "I heard that this Mrs. Fengsheng lives in Xian'an Palace, and the emperor specially allocated eight eunuchs to carry a sedan chair for her, and all the etiquette is the same as the concubines in the palace, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it is indeed true, and the pomp and circumstance of her old man is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy." "Yes, after listening to Mrs. Ancestor, Guo Kegang really thinks that Mrs. Fengsheng is an old lady.

The people in Dongchang have always been very taboo about the affairs of Mrs. Fengsheng, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to talk about it without authorization, so Qian En doesn't know much, and after listening to Guo Kegang's words, he couldn't help but nodded: "I also heard that the emperor not only let Mrs. Fengsheng enjoy the gift of concubines, but also gave her thirty eunuchs and palace maids to serve her, but looking at this posture, I am afraid that this Fengsheng lady must have hundreds of people, and I don't know how her old man can summon so many people." ”
