If the trajectory of history has not changed because of the arrival of Zhu Houwei, then the Fengcheng Hou family is really resting with the Ming Dynasty, until the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the ninth generation of Fengcheng Hou Li Kaixian died at the hands of thieves, and the Fengcheng Hou family withdrew from the historical stage.

But now that's changed!

Now there is tension in the Hou Mansion of Fengcheng, hundreds of soldiers of the Tiance Army who are loaded with guns and ammunition are staring at the two or three hundred family members holding sharp blades in the Hou Mansion with cold eyes, as long as Yan Song gives an order, these musketeers will not hesitate to fire directly.

This is the order of the Son of Heaven, theoretically speaking, as long as Yan Song does not rebel, then their three hundred soldiers of the Tiance Army who are rationed to Yan Song will obey Yan Song, as for the consequences, it is not a matter that soldiers should consider at all.

But Yan Song can't help but think about the consequences!

Yan Song, as the famous first traitor of the Ming Dynasty in history, is tactful enough, and the political struggle is even more playful, but these are useless!

Because Yan Song keenly found that the Son of Heaven didn't seem to have a good impression of him, and he should deliberately force him to the road of Lone Chen!

The emperor's will is above all else, the Son of Heaven makes you a lonely minister, if you still want to make a difference in the political career, then you have no choice, you can only go to the dark on the road of the lonely minister!

In addition to the supreme imperial power in the Ming Dynasty, there are two major forces, one is the civil power, and the other is the noble power!

Yan Song knew very well that if the Son of Heaven asked him to rectify the world's mineral deposits, then he would inevitably offend countless nobles and wealthy families!

Xungui represents a meritorious collective, and their interests are one, even if they are not both prosperous and lossy, they are not much different.

And behind the wealthy family stands the more powerful civil official as a whole!

It can be said that from the moment Yan Song left the imperial study, he had no way out.

But there is no retreat and there is no end to it!

If the mineral deposits are not disposed of well or do not meet the emperor's expectations, that is, his Yan Song's ability is not good, for the ambitious and hard-working Emperor Jiajing, if his ability is not good, it is overwhelmed, so he Yan Song needs to face only two endings.

One is to go into the field, and the other is to hide in the snow.

No matter which one it is, it's a price that Yan Song can't afford!

The Marquis of Fengfeng City is equivalent to stabbing the hornet's nest of Xungui, from now on Yan Song will be completely hated by the Xungui group, it is conceivable that there will be countless open guns and hidden arrows from the Xungui collective, and he Yan Song will die one day sooner or later in addition to hugging the thigh of the Son of Heaven.

But Yan Song didn't have a choice, because he was forced by the Marquis of Fengcheng, but it is not without benefit to take care of the Marquis of Fengcheng, the biggest benefit is that it can make the nobles and wealthy families who occupy the mines all over the world and do not pay taxes take a look, and he Yan Song will not hesitate to be the enemy of the nobles in the world for the sake of the mine!

Yes, the key crux of the confrontation with Fengcheng Hou is the mineral deposits!

Fengcheng Houfu is located in Dexing, Jiangxi, and there is a huge copper mine in Dexing!

This copper mine produces tens of millions of catties of copper ore every year, and after refining, how much pure copper can be obtained every year?

It's terrifying, because of the copper mine, the bell of the Fengcheng Houfu is full of food, and the rich are bleeding!

Of course, a mere marquis can't eat such a large copper mine, and the real owner of Dexing Copper Mine is King Yi!

More than 60% of the annual output value of the entire Dexing copper mine enters the Yiwang Mansion, and less than 40% belongs to the Fengcheng Hou Mansion.

Yiwang's reputation among the people is very good, and there is no evil deeds of cruelty and abuse of the people, if there is a disaster year, he will also help the disaster, and he is a well-known virtuous king on the border of Jiangxi.

How so? Because Yiwang is not short of money......

It's just that King Yi is now like other vassal kings after being sent to the capital, and he is no longer able to return to the fiefdom, although the Yiwang Mansion is still there, but there is no descendant who stays in charge, how can he live in Fengchenghou!

As a result, Fengcheng Houfu became the biggest beneficiary of Dexing Copper Mine, and he only needed to take out a small part of the profit to share the profits, so that he could occupy the copper mine and prevent outsiders from getting involved.

Yan Song and Wang Shouren's strategy is almost identical, that is, to gnaw the most difficult bones first, and what kind of bones are difficult to gnaw does not refer to the title, but to interests.

There are more minerals in the world, but what minerals are most profitable? There is no doubt that it must be gold, silver and copper.

After Yan Song obtained the distribution map of Daming mineral deposits in the Ministry of Industry, he simply combed it out, and finally set the target at Dexing Copper Mine!

This is not to say that copper ore is worth more than gold ore, but that the output is large and the content is large!

Gold mining is indeed valuable, but the gold content is small, and the annual output of gold is also small, at least compared to the annual output value of Dexing copper mine.

If the Son of Heaven wants to rectify the world's mineral deposits, and truly take the income from the world's mineral deposits as his own, then he also values interests.

And it is the Marquis of Fengcheng who controls the Dexing Copper Mine, although the Marquis is noble, but it is still a grade worse than the Duke after all, if you let Yan Song go to Nanjing to clean up the Duke of Wei first, then he must also have this determination......

Yan Song knew that he came to Dexing and wanted to implement the contract system for the Dexing Copper Mine, so he would definitely suffer from the strong sniping of the Marquis of Fengcheng, but Yan Song did not expect that the determination of the Marquis of Fengcheng was so great that he dared to ignore the will of the Son of Heaven and dare to openly fight by force!

Wang Shouren has the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, but Yan Song doesn't, but he has the King's Destiny Banner, and he can cut it first and then play!

But he has to be able to afford the backlash after using the King's Destiny Banner to kill a Waiting Master!

"Wait!" Yan Song's eyes pierced the face of Fengcheng Hou Li Min like a sharp sword, and said coldly: "The Son of Heaven does not want to deprive you of the mining right of Dexing Copper Mine, but to implement the contracting system like Yan Zheng, as long as Hou Ye contracts Dexing Copper Mine, you can mine openly from now on, but you use the Circle Mansion to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers, is it true that you want to rebel?"

Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, let's buckle a big hat first.

Li Min laughed, with a wisp of disdain in his eyes, and said: "It's a good contracting system, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to let Ben Hou work hard to mine, and most of the mines dug up in the end are all handed over?" Where in the world can there be such a good thing! ”

"Fengcheng Hou!" Yan Song reprimanded angrily: "Don't forget, this world is the world of the Ming Dynasty, this country is the country of the Zhu family, every inch of land and every mineral deposit on this country is royal!"

"Joke!" Li Min said disdainfully: "Of course, the world is the world of the Zhu family, but is this world fought by Emperor Taizu alone with his bare hands?" There is no noble ancestor in the world to go to the bloody battlefield, where is the Zhu family in the world! ”
