"Slave Wei Zhongxian, meet the emperor."

After Wei Zhongxian saw the salute, he didn't hear the emperor let him get up, and couldn't help but look up in confusion.

Catching up with Li Yunze's playful eyes, his heart suddenly 'chuckled', and he had an ominous premonition.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Li Yunze directly raised his hand and smashed the teacup on the gold brick, and the door of the imperial study was immediately closed.

Luo Yangxing rushed out with a group of brocade guards, holding steel knives to surround them.

The nine thousand years old was shocked, trembling and shouting, "Emperor, Emperor!" The slave is loyal to the emperor~~~"

Li Yunze didn't have the slightest nonsense, and raised his hand without hesitation and waved it vigorously.

Luo Yangxing smiled fiercely, and raising the steel knife was the knife in his hand.

Lowering his eyelids and suppressing the feeling of nausea in his heart, Li Yunze, who refused to die of the villain, took a deep breath.

"I want to do something, you fight with me for power and stand in my way. In order for the land of Middle-earth not to fall into the hands of foreign races, I can only ask you to go on the road. ”

Wei Zhongxian abused his power and was a powerful eunuch, there was no doubt about this.

He gathered the forces suppressed by the Donglin Party on all sides of the DPRK and China, and vigorously attacked the Donglin Party, which was inadvertently in line with the needs of the general righteousness.

This righteousness is to crack down on the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party represents the gentry, local tyrants, border smuggling groups, pirates and sea lords, and budding capitalists.

These forces don't care whether the Ming Dynasty or the Dashun Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty or anything, as long as their interests can be satisfied, even if it is a wild boar skin with blood-stained gold and silver jewelry as a shopping payment, it is no problem.

The gentry and local tyrants in various places are the local emperors, and they never pay taxes on tens of thousands of acres of land under their names, and they also put the tax amount on those ordinary people, forcing their families to be ruined and used as slave tenants.

The most typical representative of the border smuggling group is the eight families of the Jin merchants.

Don't look at the TV series in the modern world, how benevolent and trustworthy they are filmed, in fact, their capital is the blood of millions of people.

smuggled the ironware, food, cloth and other materials urgently needed by the wild boar skins, in exchange for blood-stained gold and silver, and even got the name of an imperial merchant, a real cute horse.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the sea power of the Ming Dynasty was very developed.

All kinds of maritime merchants and pirates are like countless carp crossing the river.

The seas of East Asia were full of their ships, and overseas trade was in full swing.

But the problem was that they didn't pay taxes except for the fact that the city was able to collect some money for the emperor's internal money.

Customs duties are a very important source of tax revenue, but unfortunately under the protection of the Donglin Party, the imperial court could not collect them.

The Donglin Party even fooled the emperor into dismissing the city, and he didn't even want to give the money he had from the income.

As for the nagging capitalists, they are mainly those big businessmen who make silk fabrics, tea ceramics, and even set up shops in various places.

What they hated the most was the checkpoints where taxes were collected, and most of these checkpoints were collected by the eunuchs for the emperor.

The most famous phrase of the Donglin Party to protect them is 'Do not compete with the people.' ’

With just such a sentence, the commercial tax has become a joke, like the tea tax is only a dozen taels of silver.

These people make a lot of money, but the court has no money to do things.

Da Ming, who has no money, is under the toss of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is really unreasonable not to perish.

Of course, the Donglin Party was not so bad at the beginning.

They were also enthusiastic and energetic in the early days.

It's a pity that the Donglin Party, which really had ideals later, basically hung up, and all the people who joined in the later period were the kind of 'itchy scalp and too cold water'.

In this case, anyone who crosses the end of the Ming Dynasty will hit the Donglin Party.

Wei Zhongxian fought for power with the Donglin Party, although in essence he was still fighting for power and profit, but objectively he hit the Donglin Party, which made many people have a good impression of him.

But now for Li Yunze, he urgently needs time to save Daming.

After all, Huang Taiji, who completely ripped off the last fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty, only had two years left to enter the customs.

It is impossible for Li Yunze to spend more than a year slowly tossing Wei Zhongxian, finally driving him away, and then facing Huang Taiji's army in a few months.

In order for the people of the Ming Dynasty to no longer be wantonly slaughtered, blood flowing.

Li Yunze decided to send 9,000 years old on the road as quickly as possible and take back the power of the government to prepare for the response.

From the beginning, he never thought about letting Wei Zhongxian go home to retire, or put him in the edict for interrogation or something.

This nine-thousand-year-old is powerful, powerful and ambitious, and Li Yunze is unwilling to give him any chance to turn the tables.

suppressed the nausea in his heart, picked up the holy decree on the imperial case and threw it to Luo Yangxing, "Go and do things." ”

It is not enough to purge Wei Zhongxian, his henchmen must also be swept away, so as to minimize losses and turmoil.

Outside the Forbidden City, Luo Sigong took the brocade guard to do things, and inside the Forbidden City, Luo Yangxing did it.

When news came from Wang Chengen's side, saying that he had successfully taken over the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Li Yunze knew that the overall situation had been decided.

The rest is the follow-up work.

This night, the whole capital was in trembling and uneasy.

It wasn't until the next day that the hundred officials and nobles who were anxiously waiting for the news could be regarded as getting the exact message.

The new emperor, who had already shown the image of a faint monarch, actually moved silently and moved down nine thousand years old overnight!

All of a sudden, the eunuch party was mourning, but the suppressed Donglin Party was cheering and shouting that the Holy Monarch was alive.

They even mobilized hundreds of Tai students to petition the Forbidden City, asking the emperor to severely punish the eunuchs.

This is an important characteristic of the Donglin Party, which packages itself very positively and does things from the moral high ground everywhere, that is, it is invincible.

Scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty have either joined the Donglin Party, or they have been influenced by the Internet celebrity Donglin Party of this era, and they are all on their side, intentionally or unintentionally.

The Donglin Party, which controls public opinion, has a very great influence.

When the whole city was surging, Li Yunze was getting angry.

He knew very well that if he wanted to salvage Da Ming who fell into the mud, it was not enough to be famous, but also to be advantageous.

Just by virtue of the emperor's name, if he can do whatever he wants, then the Ming Dynasty will not die.

When natural disasters come, they have to have money and food to provide relief.

When soldiers and horses go to war, they must be fed with money and rewards.

It takes money and food to win people's hearts and do things for themselves, and money and food are also needed to do projects and carry out construction.

There is no money and food, only a name, and Zhu Youzhen, who hangs on the southeast branch, is the most vivid commentary.

After killing Wei Zhongxian, the first thing Li Yunze did was to ask Wang Chengen to hurry up and check the internal money.

I don't know if I don't check, and he will have a heart attack after checking.

There were only tens of thousands of taels of silver left in the inner money.

"My little cutie on horseback!" Looking at the empty interior, Li Yunze's head was on fire, "Where's the money?!" ”

Where did the income of a few million taels a year go?

The eunuchs in charge of the interior were already trembling with fright.

Without the slightest hesitation, they directly threw the pot on the nine thousand years old, "They were all taken away by Grandpa Wei." ”

It is said in the history books that when Wei Zhongxian was confiscated, tens of millions of taels of family property were copied, but it was also said in the past.

But Li Yunze is not Zhu Youzhen, he knows far more things than Zhu Youzhen.

Stretched out his hand and pointed to the eunuchs who were in charge of the internal affairs, and instructed Wang Chengen, "You take the men and horses of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to raid their homes." ”

The stealing of silver by the guards of the treasury is a matter of course in this era.

In the Forbidden City, the guards are already recognized as fat, and they need to pay countless amounts of filial piety to get in.

Whether others believe it or not, Li Yunze didn't believe that these eunuchs spent all their savings and even borrowed money to enter the treasury, in order to dutifully guard the small treasury for the emperor.

Watching Wang Chengen lead people to drag those crying and begging eunuchs out for interrogation, Li Yunze was thinking about Cao Huachun.

"Dongchang Admiral Cao Huachun Cao's father-in-law is doing things, tsk~~~"

To do this kind of thing, it is best for Cao Huachun to come forward, and there is no doubt about the famous scene.

It's a pity that the messenger who sent Cao Gonggong back to Beijing didn't leave for long, and when Cao Huachun came back, even if he was whipped quickly, it would be at least half a month later.

Li Yunze really couldn't wait that long.

In terms of interrogation, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both professional-level.

It didn't take too long to confiscate millions of taels of cash from the homes of the eunuchs who guarded the interior, not including the fields, antique calligraphers' houses, and so on.

For these oil stealing rats, Li Yunze only gave one sentence: "All of them will be disposed of by Wei Wei." ”

The eunuch party needs to be tried by the three divisions, and the crime will be convicted before the operation, which is to respect the law of the Ming Dynasty.

But the eunuchs in the palace don't need it, they are all the emperor's domestic slaves, and what they want to do with it is just a matter of one sentence.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty earned millions of taels of money every year, and the palace expenses reached the peak of millions of taels a year.

Even if you often take money out to subsidize the imperial court, after so many generations of emperors, what you have accumulated is bound to be a huge number.

To say that everything was taken away by Wei Zhongxian, Li Yunze didn't believe it.

The eunuchs who had guarded the inner palace in previous generations must all be strictly traced.

At this moment, Li Yunze hoped more and more that Cao Huachun and Cao's father-in-law would come back soon.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans were very busy, Wei Zhongxian fell, and what he brought down was a whole large-scale eunuch party.

Li Yunze gave a lot of lists with reference to history books, and these people, like Wei Zhongxian, were also raided.

A large amount of silver and gold were seized.

All the silver was sent to the treasury, because silver could not be sold for a price in the modern world.

Gold is the universal hard currency in all parallel worlds.

The modern world, Li Yunze's leather bag company office.

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the chair, lit a cigarette and silently looked at the golden gold in front of him.

Here are 10,000 taels of gold, which translates to 373 kilograms.

It's all re-smelted, unmarked gold bricks.

"It's too much of a loss for the pawnshop, at least a third." Li Yunze pondered, "This is all the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty, at least we have to bring back enough materials for them in return." ”

He came over in such a hurry to exchange money, of course, not for his own pleasure, but purely because natural and man-made disasters were getting more and more serious.

The drought in various places is getting more and more serious, the grain production has decreased, and the people who cannot survive have become rogues, plus various natural disasters that are increasing year by year, Li Yunze is now in urgent need of a large amount of materials to give Daming a blood transfusion.

It is very clear in the history books that this round of drought has been drought from the first year of Chongzhen to the fourth year of Chongzhen, during which it was mixed with all kinds of derivative disasters, such as the typhoon in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that lost nearly 100,000 people.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, heavy rains in various places caused floods, and the river burst its banks and destroyed countless people.

Then from the sixth year of Chongzhen, there was a new round of drought, mixed with various disasters until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yunze is now in urgent need of supplies, a large number of supplies.

Under the terrifying productive forces of the modern world, of course, there is no shortage of materials, but it costs money to buy them.

If the gold is sent to the pawnshop, the loss will be too great.

"Go to the bank!" Li Yunze stretched out his hand and snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray, got up and began to carry the gold bricks to the rented car, "This is gold, and it is hard currency wherever you go." ”

Drove to a famous bank, Li Yunze, who wore sunglasses and a hat, strode in.

"Get your manager." Facing the reception staff, Li Yunze was full of bearing, "There is a big business to discuss." ”

When customers come to their doors, the bank's attitude is very correct.

Li Yunze was invited into the VIP room, and a business manager received him.

"Don't ask anything." Li Yunze raised his hand and interrupted the manager's greetings, "I said, you just respond." ”

"Does your bank accept the precious metal depository business?"

"Of course."

"How is the price calculated?"

"Based on the average international gold price on the day, the price is calculated after converting the exchange rate."

"Whether customer privacy can be guaranteed."

"Sir, you can open an offshore company and open a precious metal holding account in the name of the company. Finance is based on the company's accounts and does not involve private individuals. ”

Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his hand to the business manager, "Give me a business card and wait for me to call." ”

Banks don't directly collect gold, their business in this area is called precious metal holding and depositing or something.

To put it simply, gold is stored in the bank, and when the money is needed, the money is transferred to the corresponding account according to the price exchange rate or something, and the gold held on behalf of the bank will correspondingly reduce part of the money and become the bank's.

Li Yunze moved quickly, found a specialized service company in this city with a very developed financial system, and spent a sum of money to open several offshore companies.

After the account was opened, Li Yunze took his business card and called the business manager.

"Come and pick it up."
