Chapter 593: Rich in the World
But......
Deng Jian still has doubts.
He looked at Zhang Jingyi, and then said: "According to various circumstances, many of the concepts of the Restoration Society are similar to those of the Donglin Party, and there is some overlap between them, why do you want to focus on this Restoration Society?" ”
Zhang Jing said: "The Donglin Party is a top-down organization, first the famous Confucian set up the academy, and then a group of people stole the power of the court, especially the officials, as long as they grasp the promotion and dismissal of officials, then the scholars who want to take refuge in the Donglin Party are naturally like carp crossing the river." ”
Zhang Jing paused, and then said: "In the final analysis, such a so-called study party has always existed from ancient times to the present, and there is nothing surprising about it, what is the difference between the so-called Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party?" ”
"If we want to understand something, we must understand the essence of an issue, look at a study party, and also understand the nature of this study party. But the re-establishment ...... It's very different, it's different from Donglin, it's a bottom-up organization, this Fushe first started with a few anonymous readers, and then expanded, and its scale is clear to you, just a person, surnamed Zhang, right? How can such a thing be done? How do they advertise, how do they connect with each other...... Think about it...... What one doesn't need silver here? What one doesn't need to be backed by someone? ”
"After that, they can even buy the bachelors of the capital, and they can decide the selection of officials, which ...... Is it just for the sake of their slogan of governing the world? I don't think so...... Ultimately...... Let's catch this surnamed Zhang first, and after catching it, I will touch the melon along the vine......"
Zhang Jingyi was silent for a moment, and said unusually solemnly: "I doubt it...... It's not easy! ”
After hearing this, Deng Jian said: "Okay, the key point of humility starts with the resumption of the society." ”
Deng Jian is a professional after all.
At least after he began to sit in Nanjing, a large number of Jinyi guards began to take over one case after another.
Things started to fall into order.
According to his intentions, each mansion was not in a hurry to be raided, but first arrested people, caught people, and punished crimes, and at the same time, for the mansions of each person involved in the case, people were sent to keep an eye on them first, so as to ensure that their family members took risks or hid their belongings.
This case by case, we will sort out and divide the cases of different people into A, B, C, D, and V, and different levels of cases will be adopted in different ways.
Treating differently is actually the most confusing.
For example, Qian Qianyi, a smart person like him, quickly realized that he was being held in a new cell.
On the cell was a sign with number 27.
All of a sudden...... And he took notice.
Sure enough, as soon as he asked, he found out...... The reason why I entered Room B was because my crimes were not to the point of being extremely vicious, and I confessed to it, so I was not recognized as a Class A criminal.
It is rumored that Class A criminals may be punished by the Nine Clans.
Of course, just rumors.
This made Qian Qianyi breathe a sigh of relief, but soon, he began to use his brains.
After all, a great smart man like him is imprisoned every day, rarely in contact with people, and what he does every day is to think about all kinds of things.
So after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt ...... You may still have a play!
Since there is still hope, we have to fight for a C or D treatment.
Thinking like this, he began to write letters to Jinyiwei or Zhang Jingyi non-stop.
Most of these letters are repentant, but apparently there is no interest in them.
Seeing that this hand was useless, he closed his eyes every day and pondered, racking his brains to figure out who else he had not reported.
Or...... I know something.
Thinking like this, I suddenly ...... He seemed to have something in mind.
Then, he suddenly shouted in prison: "I want to see His Royal Highness the King of Liaodong County, I want to see His Royal Highness the King of Liaodong County." ”
At this time...... If you don't say what you want to say, you're really stupid.
No matter how stupid Qian Qianyi is, he knows that now everyone is reporting others or being reported.
Instead of happily explaining all the problems, it is better to be simple.
Sure enough, in the evening, Zhang Jingyi came in person.
Zhang Jingyi didn't have to come in person, someone just interrogated him.
It's just that Qian Qianyi claims to have an important piece of information, in view of Qian Qianyi's person...... has a wide range of contacts in Jiangnan, plus what this guy said is very troublesome.
Zhang Jingyi is gradually relaxed now, and he wants to come to see it in person.
The arraignment took place in a cell.
Zhang Jingyi asked someone to pour tea for Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi was busy saluting, Zhang Jingyi waved his hand and said: "In this place, there is no need to play with these red tapes, my intention, you know very well, let's get straight to the point first." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "There is only one thing the criminal officer wants to ask. ”
Zhang Jing nodded: "You ask." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "The people in room B are guilty...... What is the sin? ”
"Murder of the house."
Qian Qianyi shuddered violently, and then asked again: "What about Room A?" ”
"The crime of stealing the family."
Qian Qianyi was unwilling, and asked again: "What about Room C?" ”
"Exile for raiding the house."
Qian Qianyi: "......"
He didn't give up and continued to ask: "What about room D?" ”
"Raiding the house!"
Qian Qianyi: "......"
Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth and said, "What about the E?" ”
Zhang Jing smiled, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "There is no need to raid the house for this." ”
Qian Qianyi's face softened slightly.
If they all want to raid their homes, he really suspects that this faint monarch and Zhang Jing are really not here to quell the rebellion when they come to Jiangnan, but they are rushing to raid their homes.
I saw Zhang Jingyi and immediately said: "But this crime is not small, and you have to pay a fine, ranging from 1,000 taels to 100,000 taels...... If you don't pay the fine in full, you have to raid your home. ”
Qian Qianyi: "......"
Zhang Jing said again: "You are looking for the governor of Bendu to ask these questions?" Do you think Pontus was very leisurely and elegant? ”
Qian Qianyi knew in his heart that now he was guilty of killing his head and raiding his family, although it was better than exterminating the clan, it was not much better.
So he gritted his teeth and said: "If you report important clues, will it ...... Can the crime be mitigated? ”
Zhang Jing said, "Then it depends on how useful your clue is." ”
Qian Qianyi then said: "The student knows...... There are people who have been colluding with overseas, this is ...... Is it possible to reduce the guilt? ”
"Overseas?" Zhang Jing was really interested, so he looked at him fixedly and said, "Which overseas?" ”
Qian Qianyi took a deep breath and stared at Zhang Jingyi, he knew that his opportunity might have come. So he said: "During the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, did the governor know how much silver a stone of white rice was? ”
Zhang Jingyi looked at him and only said, "You say." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "In Jiangnan, one stone of white rice, five coins and only six coins of silver, these are all well documented. So now...... Dare to ask the governor, how much is a stone of white rice worth? ”
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
Zhang Jingyi frowned and said: "The normal market price now is around three or four taels of silver." ”
"And that's not all." Qian Qianyi said: "In some places, even to a dozen taels, when I was last year, in Shandong, a stone of white rice, even as high as fifteen taels of silver, in Jiangnan, the same is the case." ”
Zhang Jingyi seemed to be beginning to sense what Qian Qianyi meant, he looked at Qian Qianyi with a faint gaze, and encouraged: "You go on." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "This is very strange, even if there are many disasters and famines, but in the south of the Yangtze River, there are almost no major disasters, the price of rice has been very stable before Jiajing, but why after Jiajing, especially after the Wanli period, the price of rice began to skyrocket?" Dare to ask the governor, what is the reason for this? ”
Zhang Jingyi didn't think much about it, and subconsciously said: "Either the rice has become less, or the ......"
Qian Qianyi interrupted him and said, "The rice may be less, but it can be less...... The criminal officer said that Jiangnan has not reached the point of famine, so no matter how little, the price of rice will not rise to such a point, and since the price of rice has risen, it has never fallen. ”
Zhang Jingyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Then what do you mean...... If there is no shortage of rice, is there more silver? ”
Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "Yes, the root cause is that there is more silver!" There is a large amount of silver in the market, and these silver are competing to buy the real thing, so the price is high. ”
Zhang Jingyi followed his words and said: "Over the years, I have not opened up new silver mines in the Ming Dynasty, and silver is limited. ”
"Yes, that's what the criminal official meant, over the years, instead of mining new copper mines, some of the silver mines mined by my Ming Dynasty from the time of Emperor Taizu Gao have been gradually depleted."
Zhang Jingyi's face became more and more solemn, and said, "You might as well understand what you say." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "It can make white rice skyrocket tenfold, and my Ming silver itself has not grown, so where does this silver come from?" The criminal officer has the courage to say, in the hands of some people, the silver has long been flooded, have you heard of it, someone uses sea ships, boats of silver to send to the Ming Dynasty every year? ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, he gasped directly, and he gradually felt that the real big fish was about to appear, but ...... He can still control himself, after all, he is no longer young, even if he is physically young, but his mental age is no longer stunned.
So Zhang Jing didn't show his face, laughed, and said very calmly: "Oh? These people ...... Do you know who it is? ”
Qian Qianyi said: "I don't dare to say that I know, but ...... But it can provide some clues. ”
Zhang Jing said: "What about the clues?" ”
At this time, Qian Qianyi suddenly stopped talking.
Zhang Jing looked at him fixedly: "Speak!" ”
Qian Qianyi opened his mouth at this time, and then said word by word: "The criminal officer feels that he should not be the second criminal, after all, the criminal officer has not done anything hurtful to heaven and reason. ”
