Wang Qiong and Peng Ze are going to die next.

One of the most important things is to calculate the land of each family, and many people are no longer eligible for money and food concessions, and if they don't make trouble, they still have to go to service.

And Mao Wenyu had already put on his scimitar and was ready to go to Qiantang to arrest people.

What is done without fame is that these people gather to make trouble.

But the smuggling of the sea trade is not over yet.

Walking on the streets of Hangzhou, the city seems to have lost its vitality, groggy and depressing.

Mao Wenwen has strengthened his defense, and his own life is still more important.

However, there are people who are really close.

Because of the plum blossom symbol on his body, Mao Yu heard him say a few words, and then turned into a courtyard under the guidance.

The furnishings in the courtyard are very simple.

Mei Kejia came quickly and saluted, "I've seen Deputy Envoy Mao." ”

"You don't have to be like this for your own people, there must be something important, right?"

Mei Kejia personally made a cup of tea for the sitting Mao Wen, and then sat opposite, "There are a few businessmen who have found the villain." The words were really pitiful, and the villain was really hard to refuse, so he had the courage to talk to the deputy envoy. ”

"Merchant?"

"Now, it's a businessman."

Mao Yu understood, "Smuggling merchants? ”

"Huh. That was before. After that, it will be official trade. ”

"Don't have anything to do with people who are the Poyang Zhan clan, you can only ask Your Majesty for those things. After all, King Huai's eucalyptus is still hanging over there, and His Majesty is still waiting for the Poyang Zhan Eucalyptus. ”

Mei Kejia smiled, "It's okay, it's definitely okay." ”

After speaking, he clapped his hands, and then seven or eight middle-aged people lined up and walked out of the side room, and knelt down as soon as they came over, "Please spare my life!" ”

This is a sight that would have been unimaginable before today.

In the end, the emperor is ruthless enough.

Mei Kejia sighed, "In the entire Ming Dynasty, only His Majesty can do this." If you change any courtier, this sea will not be opened. ”

"Are there any children in the family who have been stripped of their reputation?"

Seven or eight people looked miserable, neither laughing nor crying,

"I'm waiting for a while."

Some people also cried: "Our family is miserable, originally I gave a death order and was not allowed to go out." As a result, it couldn't be stopped, and in the end it caused such a catastrophe, and decades of hard work were ruined! What hope does my Xu family have in the future? ”

"Yes, when I look back now, I suddenly feel that everything is a big dream! I don't know what kind of iniquity has been created! ”

Mao Wenyu glanced at Mei Kejia, "You can't say that." In the Mei shopkeeper's house, no one has ever achieved any fame. It's also about doing the right thing. ”

"Yes, yes, we just have to do the right thing." At this point, the meaning should also be said, "Deputy envoy, this ...... The imperial court strictly investigates private trade, does it mean that we all want to do official trade? If we all follow this, this past ......"

Mao understood the language.

In the matter of policy, there are actually cognitive errors above and below.

For example, if the people below understand that the imperial court wants to arrest all the smugglers, then they will naturally resist. But the words of the imperial court are actually difficult to understand, and it cannot be said clearly, those who agree are not guilty, and those who do not agree are guilty. That's too shameful.

"Past ...... What's up? ”

Mao Yu said this, and the person who spoke was in a hurry, "That's the ......"

Mei Kejia lightly bumped his arm, "Since the past was fine, let's talk about the future." ”

"Ah, yes, yes," everyone suddenly realized, and finally showed a relieved and happy expression on their faces, "It should be said that in the future, in the future, we will follow the Mei shopkeeper, and what the Mei shopkeeper does is what the court wants to do, and what the court wants to do, we will do." ”

If there is something in the future, there will be nothing in the past.

Mao Yuyu put down the teacup, "I haven't asked for your names yet, so I'm going to arrange things." ”

In other words, you can't catch the wrong one.

A group of people talked together for a long time, but in fact, the real words were hidden behind. Fortunately, they all understand.

So they all wrote down their names impatiently.

Mao Yu held it in his arms, "How to do business, I don't understand this rough person, you can ask the shopkeeper Mei." In the future, as long as you follow the will of the imperial court, you can earn a lot and feel at ease in your hands. It's just that it's a bit difficult to get back this fame. ”

"Hey, it's also our fault, if we had known that the imperial court just wanted to regulate the channels of maritime trade, it wouldn't be what it is today."

Mei Kejia Chong Mao language handed.

He is the deputy envoy of Jinyiwei, and he deserves to be embarrassed by giving him face today.

"Thank you Vice Envoy Mao today."

What Mao Wenyu values is the identity of Mei Kejia's money bag, "You're polite." The last time my father-in-law mentioned it to me, it was about to be the end of December. At the end of the year, the silver in the palace cannot be short. No matter how much Jinyiwei makes trouble, he can't make trouble without His Majesty's silver taels. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will also be beaten by the board. ”

Mei Kejia understood this, "Deputy Envoy Mao can rest assured." The business under the overseas is not affected much. ”

Mao Yu also said: "If you can have more, it will be better, in this way, it can be regarded as a good way to do things." ”

"Multi-point ......"

Everyone said that this was a cell boss and didn't have much ink, but they didn't expect to make such a direct request.

Mei Kejia smashed his mouth, looking a little embarrassed.

And if it goes on like this, the people on the side should see it if they don't have the eyesight to see it.

"Please rest assured that Deputy Envoy Mao and Shopkeeper Mei are missing, how many silver taels are missing, and we will make up for it. No matter what, let Your Majesty see the ability of Deputy Envoy Mao. ”

Officialdom uses each other, and that's what it is.

If you want someone to help you, you must first think about what is the benefit of others helping you.

Mao Wenyu will not be polite to these merchants, it is not good, the court has exempted them from offending, and it is also appropriate to hand over some atonement silver, but this silver should be sent through Mei Kejia,

"What does Shopkeeper Mei think?"

"Since a few people have such good intentions, it is naturally difficult to refuse. But...... Father-in-law's ......"

Mao Wenwen understood, "It's good for Shopkeeper Mei to talk about it, and I may not be the only one around my father-in-law who can speak." ”

What Mei Kejia means here is that this silver must at least let Gu Dayong know.

But the increase in silver is for the sake of Mao's face, if Gu Dayong knows, he must give a piece, otherwise you will talk to him about Mao? If you don't give him benefits, you may even offend people if you talk about it.

But here it depends on whether Mao Yutong agrees. If Mao Yuyu minded, then Mei Kejia rashly went to talk about it, which is actually not appropriate.

Mao Yu said he had no opinion. It would be nice for him to have a good relationship with the celebrants.

The Emperor had some opinions about his previous actions.

So when Gu Dayong returned to the palace, he couldn't ask him about Jinyiwei's various actions in Zhejiang.

If you give Gu Dayong benefits, not to mention that it is all good words, at least it will not be harmful.

So this matter is good for everyone, that is, the person who pays for it has to feel heartache.

"I understand, then I'll wait until the matter is decided before I go to report to my father-in-law. After all, there will be a month. ”

In the middle of this year, Yang Yiqing set off to the north and took away 300,000 taels of silver, the emperor took out 200,000 taels out of his own pocket, and the household department also made up 100,000 taels.

But this silver can make thousands of war horses, after all, these beasts themselves have to eat a lot of food.

】

By next year, the northwest will definitely ask the imperial court for silver again.

By this time in the Ming Dynasty, the main expenses of the treasury were three major parts, the support of the clans, the official and military expenditures. There is still some relief money left, but not much.

Above, basically I can spend more than 20 million stones a year.

Therefore, the emperor must be most concerned about silver.

Having said that, Mao Wenyu has nothing else to ask for, but hopes that he can do this errand and restore the emperor's heart.

After all, in addition to him being the deputy envoy now, there is also an additional Han Ziren.

The emperor's action clearly expressed his disappointment with him. Otherwise, why didn't you do it before, but this time?

After Mao Yu left,

These seven or eight businessmen began to thank Mei Kejia, as long as Jinyiwei's side was in addition to their names, then there would be no problem in surviving this turmoil.

In the final analysis, there is still a way, and if you take the line of Mei Kejia, you can save your life. The rest...... I'm probably looking for a way around.

But in fact, there is a key point,

A few of them have to make up money, 10,000 taels is to make up, 50,000 taels is also to make up, but at this time, there is no number down, how can they decide?

"Shopkeeper Mei, by the end of this year, how much silver will be short? You can tell me the number, so that a few of us will want to go back and make up for it. ”

Mei Kejia rubbed the exquisite porcelain-colored cup, "I am originally from Shaanxi, you all know this." When I went to Beijing from Shaanxi, I had millions of taels, and to put it bluntly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time did not have any money for me. But Your Highness, who is now the Holy One, has not touched a penny of my private wealth. This is true even today. ”

"You have often asked me how I can get to it. There are some things I can't say, but the meaning is simple. Your Majesty...... is not the stubborn king in the mouth of some corrupt Confucians in Hangzhou, but a man of temperament. ”

"Then ......," one of the shopkeepers summed up, "then it would be better for us to have a hundred thousand taels for a few families, and together there would be eight hundred thousand taels." ”

Mei Kejia shook his head, "If Vice Envoy Mao is here, you can bluff him." We don't have to, right? Everyone's strength, when I don't know? ”

"Then 150,000 taels!"

"Two hundred thousand taels." Mei Kejia decided, "Didn't I say everyone, what is there to spend 100,000 taels?" Flowers can't surprise His Majesty, and flowers are pure white flowers when they are as flat as water. If you want to spend it, you have to spend it in place. Besides, which of the 200,000 taels of you can't get out, or can't you earn it in two or three years? ”

Pattern, in the final analysis, is pattern.

"Two hundred thousand taels...... I've got to make it up. A man with a very thin face said.

"yes, we'll all have to make it up."

Mei Kejia smiled, "It's time to make up for you." Rest assured, when the time is right in the future, I will show your filial piety to the court like Your Majesty. ”

What to make up,

Everyone is a businessman, and when I say that I can come up with this money, this is the usual method of businessmen.
