Zhang Gui also shouted loudly, saying: "At least you don't necessarily need to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country to become a rich and giant businessman." Unless you tell me, all the merchants in the world are collaborating with the enemy! What's more, my Ming Dynasty's commercial tax was already very low, and the children of merchants were allowed to send their names to take the imperial examination, which could not become a rich businessman, and they had to rely on collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? ”

Syllable!

After speaking, Zhang Gui personally whipped Fan Ming in the face and shouted: "Don't make excuses for your infidelity!" It is impossible for other businessmen to be wronged by the factory guard, but only a few of you Jin businessmen will not be wronged! ”

Fan Ming continued to sneer: "Loyalty? Loyal to the Zhu family? His Zhu family, after a rogue who started in Fengyang, is also worthy of our loyalty? Your Excellency, do you know that even the Qufuyan Holy Prince's family does not use the official position given by his Zhu family to worship the saint, they all use the former yuan! ”

Fan Ming laughed out loud as he spoke, then gritted his teeth and asked, "What does his Zhu family's country have to do with my Fan family?!" ”

"But it has something to do with the Governor."

"In addition, your Fan family collaborates with the enemy, and it is not only the Zhu family that endangers the whole world, but also the Han family all over the world, you want to be a slave of Jiannu, and then follow your master to better enslave the people of the world, you can't drag the Han people of the whole world to be enslaved together."

"No matter what, your collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country has something to do with the Han people in the whole world."

Zhang Gui glanced at Zhou Neng and the other family members as he spoke: "You were starved and displaced before, so you have a relationship with this person!" It was they who smuggled grain and iron tools to Jiannu, so that Jiannu had the capital to invade the Ming Dynasty, forcing the imperial court to spend more money and grain to defend against the enemy, which led to an increase in your burden, and under the pressure of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you eventually had to become a homeless person. ”

As soon as Zhang Gui said this, Zhou Neng and the other family's eyes suddenly became angry, and Zhou Neng couldn't help but shout: "Childe, please let me collapse him!" ”

"It's too cheap to break him, you have to punish him properly!"

Zhang Gui said and shouted: "Continue to copy other profiteers, copy hard, dig three feet into the ground, the more ruthless the copy, the fewer profiteers will be in the future!" I also want to copy out the majesty of my West Factory! ”

"Yes!"

Wait until the next day.

The collaborators of Zhangjiakou Fort were all confiscated.

As a result, the West Factory has also copied countless assets.

Sun Yingyuan had to ask Zhang Gui for instructions: "Commander, there are too many silver, grain, and iron, and there are not enough mule carts and manpower, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Gui said after hearing this: "I will not lack people even if there is a shortage of mules, when we came, there were a large number of displaced people nearby, either refugees from Liaodong, or refugees from Shanxi, and now gathered here, I just want to rely on the physical work of doing some transportation, even so, you take the official school to recruit a group of people, let them use sacks to carry supplies to the capital, tell them, if you are willing to carry, take care of three meals a day!" The Governor would have people set up meals along the way, and they would eat as many days as they wanted. For them, this is better than starving, not to mention that they have not rebelled and robbed the big households, so it can be seen that they are all docile and manageable, just to pull out our people, and they don't have to be responsible for transporting, only responsible for overseeing the work. By the way, I also consumed the stale grain that was about to rot. I have to say that these profiteers are really hateful, the country is starving, and the old grain they have stored for Jiannu has been exhausted to the point of decay. ”

"Yes! Let's arrange it! ”

Sun Yingyuan agreed.

Then, Zhang Gui instructed again: "By the way, I also take this opportunity to lead these displaced people to Gyeonggi to do the military source reserve, you send people to observe in secret, all the young people who honestly queue up when receiving food, take the initiative to report when they go to the toilet, and distribute the food to their families first, are all selected as the next military reserves, whether it is Xichang or Jingying, the next step is to expand the soldiers and horses, after all, after copying such a large number of profiteers, I don't know how many people's financial routes have been cut off!" ”

The future is a war dominated by hot weapons, the requirements for individual bravery are reduced, and what is needed is soldiers who absolutely obey orders, so Zhang Gui asked Sun Yingyuan to choose people who are subconsciously willing to obey the collective rules as the future source of soldiers.

"Yes!"

So, a few days later, on the way from Zhangjiakou Fort to Jingshi, many homeless people were organized to act as carrying carriers, one by one, just to have enough to eat, carrying heavy materials to Beijing, all the way to the road, like ants moving, at first glance, it seems to be a human wall lying on the way from Zhangjiakou Fort to Jingshi.

Li Zongwei, the great squire who came to Huailai, soon learned about this phenomenon from the house slaves, and came to his manor walled city to see this scene, and couldn't help but say for a while: "What a sin!" Give food to the poor! ”

"Father is right, it seems that several Jin merchants in Zhangjiakou Fort have been copied, and I don't know how many powerful bureaucrats have cut off their financial routes because of this, and I am afraid that the grain we sold to the Jin merchants will not be able to recover the silver."

Li Zongwei's son Li Yifu said.

Li Zongwei said with a calm face: "You immediately go to Beijing, inform the old men who are officials in the capital, and inquire, what is the origin of this West Factory?" How to do all the bodhisattva things that hurt heaven and reason! ”

"Yes!"

……

Capital.

Zhang Gui knew a few days in advance of the apocalypse because Wang Yingjiao told him that the four major ministries were going to ask the emperor for money.

Therefore, when Tianqi received the inscription book from the four major ministries asking him for money, Zhang Gui had already taken the Xichang Official School and his own family to Zhangjiakou Fort.

And now, on Zhang Gui's return, soon after Tianqi received the inscription from the four major ministries asking him for money, he issued an order to announce these four books on the platform of the Qinzheng Palace.

"The emperor summoned you here to allocate money for you, and you will report how much silver your ministry needs, and the emperor also knows that the household department has no money now, so later, it is necessary to quickly allocate internal funds to make up for the urgent needs of the ministries, and the cabinet and the celebrant will approve the red on the spot, and then you will immediately go back to the ministry to do these things; If you don't need it, don't be busy with the ticket to get a red. ”

Wei Zhongxian said at this time, conveying the meaning of the Apocalypse to summon these people.

Hearing Wei Zhongxian say this, the four Shangshu were very pleased, after all, it meant that the emperor was willing to allocate internal funds.

In particular, Wang Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up, and he knew that it was obviously possible to let His Majesty empty his internal money and no longer be able to train the army.

According to the usual practice, as the head of the six Shangshu, Zhang Wenda, the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials, said at this time: "Your Majesty, the total debt owed by the Ministry of Officials in the two capitals and 13 provinces has reached more than 1.86 million taels of silver, of which the officials in Huguang and Sichuan have not issued the money for three years. ”

After hearing this, Tianqi nodded: "Directly transfer two million taels to the ministry, and the ticket is going to be approved." ”

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian replied with Han Yi with some pain.

And Zhang Wenda and Wang Ji glanced at each other and smiled secretly.

Wang Ji couldn't wait to come out and report it, but he still held back, after all, the household department should ask for silver in front of him as usual.

With a hint of shame, Wang Yingjiao, the head of the household department, said: "Your Majesty, the household department has just received the disaster report from Shandong and Shaanxi, and a total of two million taels of silver is needed for disaster relief. ”

"Allocate 2.5 million taels of silver to the household department, 2 million taels for disaster relief, and 500,000 taels for Taicang, and prepare for emergencies, such as helping refugees entering the customs."

After the apocalypse ordered, he said: "The ticket is going to be red." ”

"Your Majesty loves the people, and benevolence chases Yao Shun!"

Wang Yingjiao didn't expect that the emperor would not hesitate not only to send money to officials, but also to send money to the people, so he was naturally very moved.

"Your Majesty! According to reports from Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong Jinglu, and Wang Xiangchun, the governor of Jiliao, a total of 2.7 million taels of Liao and border salaries this year, and there is still a stalemate in the southwest, which requires another transfer of guest troops, which also requires 1.6 million taels of military salaries, and 1.2 million taels of Shandong to quell the turmoil, totaling 5.5 million taels. ”

Wang Ji replied.

"Dial!"

Apocalypse only said one word.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly reminded the apocalypse: "Emperor, the internal money has only been copied more than 12 million taels now!" ”

"Didn't you hear, the ticket is going to be red!"

Apocalypse suppressed his anger.

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to agree.

Han Yi also responded.

Wang Ji smiled secretly.

At this time, Yao Sifa, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, the three major palace projects are still short of two million and a half million taels of silver. ”

"Wei Zhongxian, do the math, after the first few items are allocated, how much money is left in the inner court?"

Apocalypse asked at this time.

Wei Zhongxian replied: "There are still more than two million and two hundred and twenty-six thousand taels left. ”
