Chapter 438: Exchanging Food for People's Hearts
"The lower officials will not disappoint Lord Jingluo!"
Zha Helin and the others were happy at the same time, and after Shi Li agreed, he retreated excitedly.
Not only do they have to make a fortune, but they also want to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and strengthen their own powerful position.
As for the Confucianism's grudge and counterattack......
It's better to start first, and copy the hardcore disciples of the Kong family first, anyway, now that they are on Jiang Chen's thief ship, there is no room for relaxation.
During the eye contact of several people, such a decision was made, and then the backbone of the Confucian sect who took refuge in Hangzhou was unlucky, and one after another they were raided and arrested and imprisoned.
Scared everyone in Hangzhou is in danger, and they are terrified!
After Jiang Chen learned of the situation, not only did he not stop it, but he also smiled very happily, secretly proud that his strategy of governing Confucianism with Confucianism was really clever.
He believes that as long as the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River fall to Limen one by one, the Confucian sect will be a toothless tiger that will not be able to stumble for a few days.
With this expectation, after the two emperors changed into civilian clothes, he invited the youth enhanced version of "Empress Zheng" and "Liu Guifei" to visit Zhu Yuan.
"Little junior brother, those thousands of women are all pitiful people, what are you going to do with them?"
After Zhao Jinluo got tired of seeing the scenery, he asked about the topic of concern.
"If there are relatives to take refuge in, each person will be given 20 pieces and allowed to go home.
If you are homeless, join the Limen! The official family intends to build the entire Jiangnan into a model of Yuqing Villa, and now it is a time when there is a shortage of people.
In addition, the textile mill to be built will also require a large number of female workers." Jiang Chen replied.
"Well, that's a pretty good deal."
Zhao Jinluo nodded in approval, and then asked, "Little junior brother, you have always said that Zhu Mian is rich and can rival the country, I don't know how much wealth can be seized in this Zhu Garden?"
"yes, I'm curious, too!" Zhao Fujin also looked sideways with an expectant expression.
"The two senior sisters should go over and see for themselves."
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and led them straight to Zhu Mian's treasure house.
At the moment when the huge bronze door opened, Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Fujin were directly stunned!
I saw that the treasure house was dazzling with golden light, not only all kinds of things were cast in gold, but even the table and a pair of peacocks next to the door were also shining gold.
The open boxes were piled up with gold ingots, silver ingots, and jewels of all colors.
After the two emperors walked around, they were almost blinded by their eyes.
"Oh my God! How could Zhu Mian have so much wealth?"
"I'm afraid the value of these things is more than billions, right? Isn't it more than the whole treasury?"
While Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Fujin were talking, they looked at Jiang Chen with shocked faces.
"How else can we say that he is rich enough to rival the country?
Of course, there is not only Zhu Mian's wealth here, but also Tong Guan's stolen money that has been looted in Jiangnan for many years. According to preliminary statistics, the value is at least around 150 million guan, which is more than the total amount of taxes paid in the two years of the Great Song Dynasty."
This is just a treasure trove on the surface, counting the secret private treasury, the value can scare you to death!
However, in order not to make people think that Zhu Mian and Tong Guan are too greedy, I will take the treasures in several private libraries to build the door!
As Jiang Chen spoke, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a strange smile.
"How can it be! It just doesn't make sense!"
"The father and the queen mother are worried about the lack of national resources all day long, and he Zhu Mian and Tong Guan keep saying that they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and they are greedy for such an astonishing amount of money in private, which is simply their hearts can be punished!"
Zhao Jinluo was so angry that his face turned blue.
Zhao Fujin also nodded in agreement: "No wonder everyone in Bianjing says that Zhu Mian and Tong Guan are not good people, and now they can be regarded as ironclad evidence!" Let us write immediately to inform our father and the queen that the saints are!"
"Yes! Even we dare to assassinate and attempt to hold him hostage, and I want my father to punish his nine clans!"
Zhao Jinluo gritted his teeth with hatred.
In the treasure trove again
After walking around, he went back to the dormitory with Zhao Fujin.
Jiang Chen naturally would not miss this kind of thing, and directly put the blame for the rebellion of the people in Jiangnan on the heads of Zhu Mian, Tong Guan and some Confucian people.
Coupled with the testimony of the two emperors and Zha Helin and others, he didn't believe that Cai Jing and Tong Guan, Kong Duanyou and others could still play any tricks.
On the second day, after an all-night raid and arrest, the city of Hangzhou was strangely quiet.
Both the common people and the rich and noble families closed their doors and hid in their houses shivering.
It wasn't until the sound of sticks and shouts that people cautiously peeked out through the cracks in the doors.
Immediately, I saw Xu Lin, Zha Helin and other Hangzhou officials shouting while walking with the officials: "Zhu Mian colluded with the Confucian rebels to assassinate the emperor, intending to rebel, and has now been broken into the mansion by Lord Jinglu and arrested and imprisoned......
"What?"
"Zhu Mian, that thief was caught?"
"Is this true?"
The people were both surprised and incredulous.
The Confucian students turned pale with fright, and the assassins shouted that the Confucian Gate had assassinated Jiang Chen, and many of them had seen it with their own eyes, although they felt that it was quite boring, but they could not argue with it.
Just when they were each uneasy, they heard Xu Lin and the others shout again: "This time the raid on the traitor henchmen not only seized a large amount of silver, but also countless rice grains.
The two emperors and Master Jinglu have ordered that from today onwards, the price of grain in Jiangnan will be directly reduced from the previous 25 wen to 10 wen and one liter......
"Really?"
"Is that serious?"
Hundreds of people couldn't wait to open the door and rush out, staring at Xu Lin eagerly.
Xu Lin nodded with a smile and said, "Naturally, it's true! In addition, Lord Jinglu also ordered that every household could receive a bag of rice and ten catties of coarse salt for free!
But if you do not believe, go to the gate of the government and see if you can get grain and coarse salt."
Xu Lin's words can be described as full of confidence, because several of the largest salt merchants in Hangzhou were raided by them yesterday.
"Get free food at the entrance of the government office, and ten catties of coarse salt?"
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
When the people heard this, they couldn't care about it anymore, and rushed out of the house one after another, and the noisy people came to the square outside the Assassin's Mansion.
Seeing that someone had received free food and coarse salt, he was so excited that he crowded forward.
"No crowding!"
"Queue, all queue!"
"There is food and salt, everyone can share it, and the villagers should not be crowded."
The Jimin Army, which maintained order, stepped forward one after another to maintain order.
While maintaining order, he also held the Jimin newspaper and distributed it to literate people and read it aloud.
The people were already grateful when they received the food and salt from Limen, but after learning the cause and effect of the entire assassination incident, they directly stood on the side of Limen, and scolded Zhu Mian and the rebellious Confucian people.
And just as they were invective, a big red notice was also posted on the place where the food was distributed: Three days later, in front of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhu Mian and other thieves were publicly beheaded, and justice was given to the people, and peace was returned to the south of the Yangtze River!
