Chapter 344: Purging the Gentry

In the city of Yangzhou.

As the early morning fog lifted, the wet bluestone slabs began to spread out one after another, and the outlines of Daiwa lanterns gradually emerged in the bazaars, and the shops everywhere were opened, and the sunlight was shining brightly.

The government-run paper store run by Chen Jiuzhu also began to remove the door panels, sweep away the residual snow outside the threshold, and continue to operate.

"The new local Chu paper, cheap and good, let's take a look!"

Ye Agui smiled and shouted for the paper bank, and after seeing five or six scholars coming, he hurriedly pushed the chicken cart and went to the back warehouse.

And in an attic not far from the next door, Pu Jinkui, a squire who lived here, sank his face when he saw this, and asked his servant Jiang Er: "What you said is true?" ”

Jiang Er replied: "It's true, the imperial court encouraged the governors to set up practical activities, and Fengyang Lu Fuyuan was also added as the deputy capital of the imperial history!" The other two governors have also been added by one level! In the near future, the "Di Bao" will publish this matter. ”

Pu Jinkui's face became even more ugly after hearing this: "After spending so much silver, you can still get such a result!" ”

"Isn't it?"

"I heard that Li Shaoqing of Taifu Temple was also imprisoned for this incident!"

Jiang Er replied.

Pu Jinkui immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Er: "What did you say?!" Li Shaoqing is in prison Li? ”

Jiang Er hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "The little one doesn't dare to hide it, there is definitely such news." ”

"Will it find us?"

Pu Jinkui asked to himself.

Then, Pu Jinkui asked Jiang Er again: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Jiang Er hurriedly replied: "It is rumored that it was Zhao Yuyao of the General Constitution who exposed him with Prime Minister Fang, this Li Shaoqing intended to lure Prime Minister Fang, but he was framed by Prime Minister Fang Shuxiang!" ”

"Fang Jiayu!"

Pu Jinkui gritted his teeth and said, a touch of hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he asked: "Isn't he against supervising the practice?" ”

"The blame is here, although this prime minister opposes the practice of supervising and fussing, he sold Li Shaoqing, and no one knows what these big people think."

Jiang Er replied.

After hearing this, Pu Jinkui twisted his eyebrows and said, "Could it be a deliberate design?" These traitors have always been despicable! ”

"What the master said is, what should we do now, can this paper be sold or not?"

Jiang Er echoed and asked about Pu Jinkui.

"It's not for sale!"

"Go back to Jiangxi, return all the newly acquired land in the house to those Diao people, and let them plant sweet potatoes if they want to, so as to save them from worrying about it!"

"Anyway, now the paper industry in the house can't expand, according to this trend, once Huaiyang has its own paper industry, it can rely on the convenience of the canal to turn the paper profits from Jiangnan to Beijing into theirs!"

After Pu Jinkui said in a deep voice, he went downstairs with his hands behind his back, and then stood outside the door and glanced at Chen Jiuzhu who was greeting the guests again.

Chen Jiuzhu also found him, and was also stunned for a moment.

Pu Jinkui walked towards him and whispered to him, "Don't be too complacent!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Jiuzhu asked, "What does Pu Xianggong mean by this?" ”

"After all, the world is the world of scholars, and the common people are the common people, and the wealth obtained by the government will not grow! If you really want to be rich, you should first study to make a name for yourself, become a noble official and gentry, and then think about taking advantage of this business! ”

"Otherwise, it will only be to make a wedding dress for others! Shu people can only rely on a few generations of hard work to study and expensive, this is the previous generations of people have long summed up the good experience, for you these cloth clothes designed a good road, how do you not understand one by one, you have to find another way, bad world rules! ”

Pu Jinkui said.

Chen Jiuzhu smiled: "But I really don't know how to read, I can only make paper and do business." ”

"Then you should accept your fate, let your son study, rely on your son to be noble, don't think about relying on yourself to be a master."

Pu Jinkui said.

Chen Jiuzhu's face sank: "Why can't you be a literati doctor, you can't be rich?!" Can't craftsmen be rich if they work hard to run their family business?! ”

"Pu Jinkui, a member of the lead mountain, is here?"

Dada!

Suddenly, a team of brocade-clothed guards suddenly rushed from both sides of the market, and the chief flag officer of the brocade-clothed guards immediately stopped in front of the Pujia paper shop.

Pu Jinkui's face sank at this time: "What's the matter?" ”

"He is Pu Jinkui!"

Chen Jiuzhu shouted loudly.

At this time, Wang Qingjun, the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, followed the sound and immediately pointed at Pu Jinkui: "Take him down!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, two brocade-clothed guards turned over and dismounted, rushed their knives towards Pu Jinkui, and immediately kicked Pu Jinkui's knees, and then grabbed his shoulders and made him kneel.

Pu Jinkui himself was also shocked and shouted: "What are you doing here, what crime have I committed!" ”

"I am in charge of the edict, all the living Pu Jinkui bribed the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, wanted to disrupt the government, the crime was extremely evil, and the meritorious name was removed, and the conviction was escorted to Beijing, and his clan property was confiscated!"

Wang Qingjun shouted, and ordered: "Take it away!" ”

So, Pu Jinkui was escorted down.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jiuzhu suddenly thought of the scene where his family property was forcibly seized by the Pu family, and suddenly burst into tears, and suddenly said: "Today, all the papers are discounted by seven, and the contemptible people will take dividends to make up for the losses!" ”

Chen Jiuzhu has the right to operate, and he uses his own money to engage in activities, so Master Qian, who is in charge of supervising the store, did not say anything.

After hearing this, customers increased their orders, and business became more prosperous for a while.

Not only Pu Jinkui, but also Li Zhi's imprisonment caused many gentry who did not hesitate to bribe officials to influence the government because they opposed the local governor's practice and did not hesitate to bribe officials.

"Rush in! Take them all! ”

For example, not long after this, the Zhishi Xuexian Yan Tinglan Mansion in Zhangpu County, Fujian Province, was suddenly surrounded by Jinyi guards who rushed over.

And under the order of Liu Qiyuan, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, a large number of Jinyiwei rushed in.

Yan Tinglan was so frightened when she saw this, she couldn't stand steadily, so she had to hold on to the table and ask, "Why are you here?" ”

"In the edict, Yan Tinglan, the former deputy envoy of Huguang Tixue, bribed Li Zhi, the former Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and Zheng Furen in the matter, slandering Jin Xuezeng of Fuyuan for colluding with eunuchs and collecting wealth in business, so he was immediately escorted to Beijing to be strictly handled, and his family property was confiscated into the official for atonement!"

Liu Qiyuan waved his hand after thinking about it: "Take it!" ”

Peng!

Yan Tinglan fainted on the spot.

Coincidentally.

The right attendant of the former Ministry of Officials and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Lu Xiqing, the eunuch of Suzhou, was also escorted to Beijing.

"Shenwu County, Fang Jiayu, although you are the minister, you are really a traitorous minister, perverse, allowing greedy ministers and ink officials to compete with the people for profit, and even conniving at the four horses, which makes the world panic, and there will be no good end in the future!"

After Lu Xiqing was arrested, he was disappointed, and he also scolded Shen Shixing and Fang Shixing.

Because he had already understood that he had been found out, and that Shen Li, the governor of Yingtian, had not been prevented from doing practical things, which was related to Fang Feng's inconsistencies in the times, and also related to Shen Shixing's obvious intention to support Shen Li.

The decisions made by Zhu Yijun and his ruling ministers did disappoint many powerful officials and gentry, especially after Li Zhizhi was arrested, and they were both disappointed and indignant, indignant that the emperor refused to treat them leniently and pursued them relentlessly.

But this dissatisfaction could not be expressed directly, and in the end, he had to come to him to complain about his dissatisfaction with the king.

In this life, because Zhu Yijun clearly said at the time that he would be sentenced to death if he opposed the seizure of affection, and Zou Yuanbiao, who did not oppose Zhang Juzheng's seizure of affection and could still do the matter of the clerk, he was angry and went to the "Advice on Great Joy", directly reprimanding Zhu Yijun for his great achievements, first violating Taizu's edict of not conquering Japan and attacking Japan, and now he does not hesitate to mobilize troops to destroy Burma without exercising benevolent government; also said that Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, Pan Cheng, Zhang Xueyan and others are ministers, but they only know that they welcome the Son of Heaven, and in order to satisfy His Majesty's desire for reckless military force, they do not hesitate to connive at the local governors to compete with the people for profit! and sit back and watch the gentry being ruined.
