Chapter 215: The Great Rich Man of Donglin (Part II)

"There is its own Donglin Party, the three Wu gentry, relying on the southeast, crisscrossing the government and the opposition, it is really unmatched! No one dares to say that you are not, and if you do, you will be driven out of the court by the hat of an evil party! Akari, you keep saying that everything is for the country and for justice, but what did you do in private? Let's take you as an example, Lord Chen, how did you get your family wealth? How did you get the fertile land that your Yixing hometown occupied? It is not an exaggeration to say that you party members are rich and the country is afraid! ”

Originally, he was not so angry, but now he is really angry, when he was listening outside, Yuan Dahai wanted to rush in and beat this old bastard, and he couldn't bear it anymore when he heard it in the end, he couldn't bear it, he was originally a teacher, but now he can question this servant in a dignified manner!

The extremely terrifying Ming Zhidao led Guo Kegang and the others into the lobby, and shouted as he walked: "Dare to ask Lord Chen, do you harm the interests of the country and enrich your own personal interests, is this the concept of your Donglin Party members to serve the country?!" ”

"Who are you?!"

With so many people with knives and swords suddenly rushing into his house, Chen Yuting was really frightened, looking at Yuan Dahai who was angry at him, and he was so panicked that he couldn't say a word.

Chen Wu was also frightened and at a loss, instinctively leaning towards the master, and wanted to call his family to come, but found that more than a dozen subordinates, including the doorman, had already been smashed and squatted on the ground with knives by those fierce fans.

"Who are we, don't Lord Chen have eyes!"

Yuan Dahai snorted angrily, ignored Chen Yuting, suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Wu beside him, and said with a calm face:

"Your master is still not clear enough, so I might as well tell you more about it. Well, your lord just said about the taxation of the imperial court, and the official will tell you about the taxation! Without waiting for Chen Wu to react, he sat down on the chair with no one in his eyes, and then spoke:

"For example, this year, the imperial court will levy a business tax of 100,000 taels on the merchants in Jiangnan, and these merchants naturally include your master, because your lord's mansion is a famous merchant family in Jiangnan! It is natural for merchants to pay taxes, and it is understandable for the court to ask them for tax silver! However, after the tax order of the imperial court was issued, the local county ordered Lord Du to see that 100,000 taels was too much, if all of them were levied, how could he be worthy of Master Chen, who was admitted to the Jinshi for me? Simply, just collect 10,000 taels, this 10,000 taels can't all be given to the imperial court, Lord Du, as a parent official, must have a part of it, that is, deduct, yo, it's not right, everyone in the Donglin Party knows that everyone in the Donglin Party is a righteous man and a gentleman, where will they do corrupt things! So, you see, they're not embezzlement, they're drifting! What is Drifting? It's just that the silver didn't put it in his pocket, but temporarily left it in the local yamen! Do you understand? ”

Hehe smiled, looked at Chen Wu who was dazed, and Yuan Dahai said again: "You may be confused, you have received so much silver but not handed it over to the imperial court, won't the household department investigate it?" The answer is no, because the Shangshu and Shilang of the household department are also the same as the Nadu County Order, all of them are Donglin Party members. They, thinking in one place, working hard in one place, wholeheartedly working for the rich gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, who thinks of how difficult the life of the court is, they are digging the corner of our Ming Dynasty! In their eyes, the silver can only be their own, and it must not belong to the court, they can only compete with the people for profit, but the court can't! ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Dahai suddenly turned sideways, glanced at Chen Yuting coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Lord Chen, I don't know if this official's understanding is right or not?" ”

"You... Who are you? ”

Looking at Yuan Dahai, who came uninvited and obviously had bad intentions, Chen Yuting's heart went up and down, and he also regretted it, regretting that he shouldn't have said something to Chen Wu for a while.

Yuan Dahai clasped his fists with both hands and said coldly: "This official Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy to take charge of the East Factory to punish Yuan Dahai of thousands of households!" ”

"Yuan Dahai?! ...”

Chen Yuting gasped, how did he not know that this Yuan Dahai was a lawless Wei Gelding Eagle Dog, his face suddenly changed, and the secret said that it was not good, this Eagle Dog would definitely not be good here!

Rao was terribly afraid, but he still stubbornly squeaked and asked, "But... But I don't know... What did Lord Yuan do when he came to my house? ”

"I didn't have anything to do, but now..."

Yuan Dahai was too lazy to talk to him, so he got up and approached him, and said coldly: "Lord Chen, we don't talk darkly, you do it like this, over time, others are not in a hurry, but the emperor is in a hurry." If you are allowed to keep digging the corners of our Ming Dynasty and turn the silver of the court into your own silver, if you continue to do so, the treasury will not be able to allocate a penny of silver, do you call the emperor anxious or not? ”

“……”

Chen Yuting had nothing to say, and he didn't know what Yuan Dahai's idea was.

Yuan Dahai said again: "Without silver, what do the soldiers eat and wear, and what do they use to fight with the Jurchens and Mongols, if they don't have the strength to fight, this side of the pass will naturally not be protected, and the border pass will not be guaranteed, how can we, the Ming Dynasty, be protected?" At that time, the war will be in full swing, and it is not my people who are poisoning! If our Ming Dynasty dies, you people can surrender as slaves and become favored ministers before the new master, but our emperor can only die and die for the country! Therefore, in order not to lose the country, and for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor can't watch you do such nonsense! Otherwise, how would this court work? … However, the six departments of the cabinet are false and wrong, the local officials are in violation of the yang, and as soon as the court says that the tax will be levied, you will desperately obstruct it, just ask what your intentions are! In my opinion, I'm afraid that you, Lord Chen, are the first good courtier who wants our emperor to die for the country! ”

"You... You don't want to spew blood! Chen Yuting's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Yuan Dahai angrily and anxiously.

"Whether I'm a bloody spurter or not, Lord Chen knows it himself!" Yuan Dahai suddenly swept his eyes with murderous intent, glared at Chen Yuting, and frightened Chen Yuting hurriedly took a few steps back.

"This official remembers that when Emperor Shenzong was there, he knew that your Donglin Party was not a good thing, so he didn't bother with you, and directly sent eunuchs to act as tax supervisors to collect taxes on behalf of the emperor. From now on, all the expenses of the imperial court are from the inner government, without a penny of money from the treasury, and the people are also living and working in peace and contentment, and everyone applauds, but only you are the only ones who scold the emperor for competing with the people all day long. ”

"My Emperor Ming was born and grew up in gold since he was a child, with everything he wants, how can he be like a miser who has never seen money, to compete with the people for profit? Emperor Shenzong has only done to accumulate wealth for the country to cope with the unexpected, therefore, Emperor Shenzong is a famous monarch through the ages, and he is by no means a faint monarch who allows you to abuse! ”

Yuan Dahai's mindless words made Chen Yuting a little dizzy when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "You say so much, what do you want to say? You Dongchang has nothing to do, let's say, what is the matter with the old man. If the old man can do it, he should do it for you, if he can't do it, please don't embarrass the old man. The old man asked himself if he didn't have that much ability, hum! ”

"Happy!"

Yuan Dahai slapped his face and laughed: "Lord Chen is worthy of being an official for many years, and he is old and refined, since you are so refreshing, then the official is also straight to the point." The negative hand that had no body walked to the side, and a sentence fell with the product:

"This official is here, as long as you do three things."

Chen Yuting hurriedly asked: "Which three?" ”

Yuan Dahai turned his head to look at him, and said slowly: "The first thing is to ask you to push the secretary to the book." ”

"What!" Chen Yuting was stunned for a moment, his face instantly became ugly, he immediately squinted, and asked again: "What about the second one?" ”

"Please Lord Chen donate 50,000 taels of silver to my East Factory!"

After listening to Yuan Dahai's condition of the lion's big mouth, Chen Yuting gritted his teeth angrily, and asked silently: "What about the third one?" ”

"This third thing... It is to ask Lord Chen to respond to my superintendent in the future to collect commercial taxes! After speaking, Yuan Dahai glanced at Chen Yuting meaningfully.

"These three things, forgive me!" Chen Yuting didn't think much about it, so he categorically refused.

Yuan Dahai was not annoyed, but suddenly sighed, his eyes slowly looked at the people of the Chen Mansion outside, and after a few seconds, his eyes fell on Chen Yuting again: "Lord Chen must agree to these three things, otherwise, it is impossible to say that a tragedy of family destruction and death will be staged in the Lord's Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuting was furious and shouted: "You dare! ”

"What am I afraid of?"

Yuan Dahai laughed wildly like a scoundrel, and the laughter reverberated back and forth in the hall, which only made Chen Yuting feel a sense of suffocation and madness.

Stopping his laughter, Yuan Dahai looked at Chen Yuting with pity: "Now except for my people, no one knows what is going on in the adult's mansion." As long as I don't say it, who outsiders know? What if they knew? As long as the emperor doesn't know, what can he do with me? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuting suddenly shuddered involuntarily, his face was cloudy, and his angry gaze swept back and forth on Yuan Dahai's face.

"Lord Chen may think in his heart that if I come on behalf of my family governor, I will definitely have to talk to the adults about the conditions, because there is no such thing as asking the horses to run and not allowing the horses to graze. But this time, Lord Chen must not think so, because this official is a rough person, and we rough people pay attention to doing things straightforwardly, and we can't get around those bends. I'm stacking my words here, and if Master Chen doesn't agree to my request, then I'll kill someone immediately. ”

Yuan Dahai's expression and movements didn't seem to be intimidating at all, but really wanted to kill, and he coldly waved his right hand lightly, and immediately a black flag fan pulled out the knife. Under Guo Kegang's eyes, dozens of fans rushed to the backyard, where there were Chen Yuting's wives and children.

"This official has a strange way, that is, he likes to watch killing, especially likes to kill his wife and children in front of others, I think, Lord Chen should not want to see such a tragic situation. Can anyone who has seen his wife and children killed in the saddest thing in the world? ”

"As long as the adults agree to these three things, the official can keep the adults' homes safe, and they can rise step by step! How is it, I don't know what Master Chen thinks? ”
