It can be said that the salt tax supported half of the Ming Dynasty.

Salt merchants, and two Huai dominated, two Huai salt, the world salty.

Yangzhou is next to the canal, which has contributed to Yangzhou being the center of the Lianghuai salt industry and even the Daming salt industry.

Since Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has implemented the law of opening up.

What is the Open China Method?

At the cost of the right to sell salt, merchants were encouraged to transport grain and other necessities from the interior to the border towns.

The salt merchants exchanged the grain for salt, and then transported the salt to various places for sale, and the salt merchants only had to pay the cost of purchase and transportation, and the remaining was the profit of the salt merchants.

The salt merchants are monopolistic and monopolistic, and the initiative is in the hands of the salt merchants, so the profits of the salt merchants are very rich.

The corruption of the opening of the Chinese law is directly related to the indiscriminate distribution of salt by the imperial court.

Salt merchants can't lose money, so they can only divert the indiscriminate salt to the people, so the price of salt has skyrocketed, and private salt is overflowing.

The strange thing is that the price of salt has skyrocketed, the profits of salt merchants have skyrocketed, and salt has become more valuable, and even become a general equivalent of barter, serving as the value of money.

By the time of the Jingtai Dynasty, Kaizhongfa was already crumbling.

The composition of the salt merchant is interesting.

Yangzhou salt merchants, mostly overseas Chinese sent Yangzhou foreign businessmen, now Huizhou merchants have not yet become a climate, by the two Huai merchants, Xuzhou merchants, Fengyang merchants, Jiangnan merchants, etc., merchants from all over the country are selling salt in Yangzhou, forming a mixed salt merchant group.

Song Wei settled in Yangzhou Mansion, first learned about the merchants registered in Yangzhou Mansion, and then gathered all of them together to hold this grand event.

188 merchants were invited, and the heads of each family knelt on the ground at this moment.

Song Wei sat upright in his chair.

"Do you know who this governor is?" Song Wei asked.

Merchants from all over the country are salt merchants in Yangzhou, and they have formed a merchant gang, and with the merchant gang, there is a leader.

Moreover, if you can be a salt merchant, there must be someone on it.

Otherwise, you won't be able to get the salt lead, and you won't have a chance to let the court get credit, there are many rich businessmen in the world, where can you get them.

The news that Song Wei went to Yangzhou to supervise salt spread from Song Wei's departure from Beijing.

The major businessmen have already begun to discuss countermeasures, and more is to spend money to bribe Song Wei and go back to fool the emperor, hello, hello, everyone.

But Zhao Zhengji, a businessman in Xuzhou, said: "That Song Wei came from the Marquis of Xining, and he was originally guilty, but he was pardoned by the emperor and ordered him to supervise salt, in fact, he took our wealth and made up for the emperor's heart." ”

"We should destroy the ledgers, remove the salt stockpiles, dismiss the salt dings, and paralyze the salt industry across the country."

"If you stay up for a few months, the emperor will naturally withdraw his minions, and Song Wei will be self-defeating."

Zhao Zhengji called the snake to hit seven inches.

The emperor is the referee of the Ming Dynasty, and what he is most afraid of is not the rebellion of the salt merchants, but the bitterness of the people, if the people can't eat salt, they will make trouble, and the emperor will withdraw his minions and continue to be a referee.

Therefore, the salt merchants immediately dismissed the salt ding, and the unemployed salt ding rebelled in various places.

After only one month of salt cut, the north began to complain, there was no salt to eat, and the people in the south were also resentful, and the newspapers tirelessly published the problem of salt shortage.

Until the outbreak of the Hanzong case, the emperor closed the city gate of Nanjing.

The world has stopped.

Until the city gate of Nanjing was opened again, the rich families of Nanjing were killed, exiled, 400,000 people!

The salt merchant was dumbfounded, and the newspaper stopped jumping.

It was as if the people of the world had eaten salt.

The emperor is not a referee at all, nor a player, but the king of Hades!

A hundred years ago, there was such an emperor in the Ming Dynasty, who was not afraid of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, 100,000 people died!

This is when a case broke out, and these people died!

"Speak!" Song Wei spoke lazily.

"Your Excellency is Song Wei, the former Nanjing garrison, Lord Song." Gu Xiu, the head of Zhejiang merchants, spoke.

"If you know the Governor, do you know what crime the Governor has committed?"

Song Wei was also interesting, and asked the salt merchants what crimes they had committed.

They didn't dare to say it.

Hong Changtao, the head of the Feng businessman, replied: "The adults were calculated by the villains, which led to the Dragon Court being attacked, and the emperor was furious and was taken away from his post and idle. ”

"Looks like you know the Governor very well."

Song Wei was still laughing: "But, do you know that Bendu has been scolded again?" ”

"Ahh

Suddenly, Song Wei burst into shouting: "Because of you, Ben Du has been scolded by the saint again!" ”

"The saint scolded me for being overwhelmed, and I couldn't do any small things."

"Is this world holy, or is it from your bunch of dogs?"

"Answer Bento!"

Song Wei's eyes were upside down: "The governor came to supervise the salt, but you picked on the son, so that there was no salt to eat in the world, and the governor lost the holy family." ”

"Okay, anyway, Bendu is the laughing stock of the world! Laugh too! ”

"Laugh!"

All the salt merchants, forced out a smile, which is more ugly than crying.

"Laugh out loud!" Song Wei burst into tears.

The salt merchants laughed out loud, laughing and laughing, and even began to cry.

I thought that the emperor would be blackmailed with a strike.

As a result, as soon as the Hanzong case and the demon book case came out, the emperor went crazy and killed people directly, and those who spread rumors were killed! I'm afraid to kill Jiangnan.

The Jiangnan gentry are so powerful, why didn't anyone become the emperor instead? Because of the weakness of this place, the gentry were naturally weak and seriously feared the imperial power.

The propertied classes are afraid of power because they are afraid of becoming proletarian.

"Zhao Zhengji, what are you crying about?"

"Didn't you come up with the idea of a strike?"

"Let the world be free of salt to eat, let Your Majesty take back the minions, and let the Governor break himself."

Song Wei looked at Zhao Zhengji, who came up with an idea: "Hello strategy, let the people of the world criticize the center!" Let the people of the world cut off the salt! ”

"Even Song Wei, the dignified Xining Marquis Mansion, has to kneel down for you!"

He suddenly walked in front of Zhao Zhengji's eyes and pointed to himself: "Ben Du asks you, did your ancestors beat down this country, or did my ancestors fight it?" ”

"I'm the Marquis of Xining, and I've been married to the Heavenly Family for generations!"

"What about you Zhao Zhengji? What kind of thing is ancestor! ”

"Something like a dog dares to harm me?"

"Come on, drag it out and feed the dogs!"

Song Wei roared: "The whole family is full of beheading!" ”

Zhao Zhengji begged for mercy again and again, he didn't know who betrayed him.

"Bring the dog in and feed it right here!"

Two guards dragged in a dog cage containing two wolf dogs, who had been hungry for a few days, kept barking, and white foam flowed from the dog's mouth.

Zhao Zhengji was frightened, and two soldiers carried him and stuffed him into the dog cage.

"Ahh A dog bit his buttocks, and with all his might, tore off a piece of meat.

Zhao Zhengji screamed to the extreme.

The guards kicked him into the dog cage and closed the dog door directly.

The two dogs pounced on Zhao Zhengji and bit hard, and soon Zhao Zhengji was silent.

The bloody smell made the kneeling salt merchant tremble.

Look at Song Wei again, he is a crazy demon.

"Can you all put yourself in the right position?" Song Wei sat back in his chair.

The salt merchant kindled his hope, thinking that Song Wei still needed them to sell salt, and he couldn't kill too much, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Shang Gu Xiu immediately said: "My lord, we will resume work and production when we go back, and supply salt immediately." ”

All the salt merchants are kowtowing.

"Haha."

Song Wei sneered: "Now you want to resume work and production?" What did you do before? ”

"Gu Xiu, your salt is amazing, when you leave your house, you rebelled and destroyed four salt mines, it's amazing."

Gu Xiu's heart chuckled, and then looked at Zhao Zhengji, who had been bitten to death, and said in horror: "My lord, Yanding's rebellion has nothing to do with my family." ”

"I didn't say it had anything to do with your family, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Xiu really underestimated Song Wei.

I thought that Song Wei held this event to ask the salt merchants to resume work and production.

But I don't want to, I'll kill people when I come up.

Isn't he afraid that the salt industry will be chaotic, he will not be able to resume work and production for several months, and the people of the world will not be able to eat salt and rebel?

Song Wei waved his hand and asked people to take out the dog cage: "Gentlemen, you are from all over the world, but you have reached an agreement on the issue of confronting the court, and it seems that you are all against it." ”

Everyone breathes tightly, and here it is again?

"Who was the first to strike?" Song Wei suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at the blood in the hall, and naturally pointed to a merchant.

The merchant cowered in the middle of the crowd, lest others would see him.

"Wen Yu, is that you?"

The corners of Song Wei's mouth curled: "You Huaishang, are you so disgusted with the imperial court?" ”

All Huai Shang's hearts tightened, and someone argued: "My lord, this is his business, and it has nothing to do with our Huai Shang." ”

"Then why are you also on strike?"

Song Wei's question made people speechless.

Yao Shigui, the head of Huai Shang, kowtowed and said: "It's the salt strike, it's not that we don't want to supply salt." ”

"Salt Ding strike? It is understandable, after all, Yanding doesn't eat the emperor's grain, and he hasn't received His Majesty's kindness, so he will strike if he wants to. ”

Song Wei was still laughing: "But what about you? ”

"Whose food do you eat?"

"Where did your salt come from?"

"No Da Ming, you eat a fart!"

"What's the point of your life without Your Majesty? A bunch of pigs and dogs are not as good as something! ”

"Come on, slash him to death! Set an example! ”

Song Wei pointed at Wen Yu.

Wen Yulian cried out for wrongdoing, but the soldiers tied him to the pillar, and the six soldiers surrounded him in a fan shape, drew their waist knives, and slashed at him.

Blood splattered, staining the entire lobby red.

"Whose sin is it that the salt dings strike?"

"Do you know that the courtiers in Beijing can't eat salt for a few days?"

"Do you know that Your Majesty is in Nanjing, and there is no salt available?"

"Whose sin is it?"

Song Wei suddenly grabbed Yao Shigui and looked at him fiercely: "Who is this master of the Ming Dynasty?" You tell me! ”

"Who is the master of the world? Yao Shigui, you tell me! ”

"Your Majesty! It's the emperor! ”

"Your Majesty can't even eat salt! Do you know? ”

"Yao Shigui, Bendu asked you, have you eaten salt?"

Yao Shigui was frightened and shook his head.

"You didn't get salt? So how come you aren't sick? Song Wei looked at him and found that he was very healthy.

Yao Shigui said in horror: "If you don't eat salt for a few days, you won't get sick!" ”

"You are a natural slave and can not eat salt, but can Your Majesty not eat salt? Yes! Song Wei suddenly put his hands into his eye sockets.

"Ahh

Yao Shigui screamed miserably, trying to struggle.

But Song Wei practiced with the generals every day, Kong Wu was powerful, and he pulled out two eyeballs vigorously, then grabbed his hair and slammed it on the wooden pillar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a few hits, blood flowed out of the back of the head.

In the entire lobby, only the sound of Yao Shigui's head hitting the wooden pillar was heard, which was terrible and terrifying.

The timid ones were already scared to tears.

"You! Bastard! ”

"A bunch of businessmen, thunder and thunder things that day! Giving birth to a son without asshole waste! ”

"Dare to cut off the salt to blackmail the center?"

"Dare to let Your Majesty not be able to eat salt?"

"I really don't know if Da Ming is surnamed Zhu or Shang!"

Song Wei threw away Yao Shigui's body and wiped his hands with his clothes: "I, the Marquis of Xining, have been loyal to the country for generations, and I haven't been able to eat salt for a few days!" ”

"You sons of bitches, how dare you cause trouble?"

Song Wei was crazy, grabbed another person, directly poked his eyeballs, and then broke his mouth and stuffed it into his mouth!

The merchant vomited in disgust.

Song Wei kicked him like crazy: "This governor will be loyal to the country today and kill all you sons of bitches!" ”

"My lord, it's not our sin!" The salt merchants were terrified.

No matter how powerful the salt merchants were, they didn't dare to directly compete with the imperial power.

The emperor couldn't eat salt, and all the salt merchants were cornered.

"Whose sin is that? Is it my Song Wei's sin? ”

Song Wei put down the dead man, spit out a breath of turbidity, wiped the blood on his hands, tilted his head to look at them, and smiled stupidly:

"Because I Song Wei didn't cut you disloyal and unfilial dogs in time, Your Majesty couldn't eat salt!"

"Since it's my Song Wei's sin, then I, Song Wei, will make up for my sin today!"

"Someone!"

"Behead Wen Yu and Yao Shigui!"

Some salt merchants were scared to pee their pants.

Song Wei is not reasonable, but wants to make a new sense.

"Ben Governor asks you, 'Who is the master of your hearts?'

Song Wei asked and answered: "Anyway, my master Song Wei has only one person, the emperor; The Manchu Dynasty's ministers, their masters, there is only one person, and that is the emperor! ”

"Of all the people in the world, there is only one master, and that is the emperor!"

"What about your masters? Is it money? ”

"This governor looks at you, you should all be punished by the nine clans!"

"No king, no father, unfaithful and unfilial dog thing! Your father and mother should not have given birth to a beast like you! ”

"Do you know! Your father and mother can die, you can die, your children can die, your whole family can die! ”

"Your Majesty alone, you can't suffer a little grievance!"

"This is the way of heaven! This is the principle of heaven! ”

Song Wei roared.

In Daming, this is the law.

The salt merchant was afraid: "The emperor is also our master, and it is our sin not being able to eat salt!" ”

Song Wei's appearance is too scary.

Song Wei exhaled a breath of turbidity, sat on the steps, and still looked down at them: "Admit it?" Guilty pleas? ”

"We are guilty!"

Kill four, and no one wants to be the fifth.

Song Wei is a real murderer, this person is obviously from the Marquis Mansion of Xining, but he can kill people more ruthlessly than Fanzi, and he picks out his eyes and kills them with his own hands.

Everyone is kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Push it out, kill them all!" Song Wei ordered directly.

"Spare your life!"

Gu Xiu hurriedly said: "If the adults kill us, we will be completely cut off from salt!" Ask for mercy and give us a chance to make amends! ”

"Drag it back."

Song Wei waved his hand and asked people to pull them back.

One by one, they cried endlessly.

"Whoever cries again will be late!"

When I boarded, there was no one crying, and the whole lobby could be heard of needle drops.

"Gu Xiu, you say."

Gu Xiu took a deep breath, he was thinking, what is Song Wei going to do, what is the emperor going to do?

He also knows about the city of Nanjing, does the emperor want to remove all the Jiangnan people?

It shouldn't be possible.

Then the emperor came for the money, and as long as the salt merchants paid enough money, the emperor would let them go.

"Please listen to the villain."

Gu Xiu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Before the strike, we had already transported all the surplus salt from the house, and now there is really no salt at home. ”

"If you kill us all, I'm afraid we will have to run off the salt for a while."

"It's not a threat, it's the truth."

"You can go to my house and search for absolutely no salt."

"Please give us a little time, and resume the salt supply immediately."

threaten the imperial court with no salt, and the salt merchant can do it.

It's still effective.

Song Wei pinched his teeth, the emperor has salt to eat, but the army is really out of salt, this is the reason why the emperor scolded him, the army is cut off salt, there will be a big problem.

Gu Xiu did even better, and it is estimated that all the salt stored in the house was destroyed.

As long as Song Wei kills them all, there will be no salt, and if the salt is cut off for two or three months, the Ming Dynasty will collapse.

Therefore, supervising salt is a technical job, but Song Wei is very rough.

Fortunately, they destroyed all the salt mining equipment, and they couldn't recover it for a year and a half, and the emperor was completely dumbfounded.

"Didn't you just say that Yanding rebelled, and you can't do anything about it?" Song Weide continued to dress hard.

"My lord, we have our own way."

Gu Xiu doesn't pretend anymore, the big deal is death, if we don't die early, the Ming Dynasty will die, and you won't be much better.

Salt, in our hands!

Even if you take away the salt mines, reorganize the mines, and sell them again, it will take a few months.

Daming has run out of salt, and he can't wait for a few months.

This is Gu Xiu's confidence.

"Are you bargaining with Your Majesty?" Song Wei's eyes flashed with anger.

Gu Xiu kowtowed in the direction of the Forbidden City: "The villain is loyal to His Majesty, and has no bad intentions, the villain is willing to sacrifice one million taels of silver to His Majesty, and beg His Majesty to spare the villain, and the villain will immediately restore the mine, immediately mine salt, and resume supply." ”

This is a smart man.

There are no fools in business, they all learn to kowtow to Gu Xiu, and they are willing to give the emperor money, as long as the emperor stops.

If you change to the previous Song Wei, you will accept it immediately.

However, Song Wei has changed.

He knew very well what a merchant was.

Today they are deceived here, so they are obedient and obedient, turn their heads and go out, they will rebel, don't underestimate people's greed for wealth, it is human nature to ask for money and not die.

At the same time, he thought of an even more terrifying possibility.

The salt merchant went out and destroyed all the salt mining equipment, and the Ming Dynasty would cut off the salt for more than a year.

"Mr. Gu is really a talent, he knows how to bargain with His Majesty."

Song Wei calmed down, and his smile was like a spring breeze: "This governor has served His Majesty for eleven years, and I have seen many people bargaining with His Majesty, but these people have no good end. ”

"One million taels to buy His Majesty's begging for mercy, is His Majesty's Chrysostom so worthless?"

"Also, Mr. Gu is talking about business, negotiating with major national affairs and important national affairs as businessmen, is this belittling His Majesty, only recognizing money and not people?"

Gu Xiu's face changed suddenly: "The villain is also willing to be His Majesty's slave......"

Syllable!

Song Wei slapped him in the face: "You are also worthy!" ”

"Come on, drag Gu Xiu out, Ling Chi!"

Gu Xiu was anxious: "Why?" The Ming Dynasty ruled the country by law, what crime did the villain commit and should be sentenced to death? ”

Gu Xiu had already read books, and it was a last resort to abandon literature and engage in business.

So he knows how to bargain, and he understands politics even more.

Unlike some businessmen, who are purely white gloves and don't understand anything, they just use their power to occupy other people's properties.

From Song Wei's hesitation, he saw through Song Wei's thoughts.

But he was greedy and wanted to bargain with the emperor to get a good price.

This is his stupidity, Daming has several salt producing areas, and there are no salt merchants in the two Huai, at most, let Daming cut off salt for a month or two, and the supply will be restored soon.

"You're with the Governor the Great Ming Law, right?"

Song Wei didn't split him directly, he had his own task to complete, and killing people was just a means to complete the task.

"Mr. Gu's clothes are worth a lot of money."

Gu Xiu immediately explained: "This dress is imitation silk, the price is not high, and the down inside is made, Your Majesty has not stipulated that businessmen cannot wear down jackets." ”

"Hmph, what is the rule of the Great Edict?"

Gu Xiu immediately stopped talking, according to the regulations of the Great Decree, Shang Jia should wipe his neck and commit suicide, and he had to say a word before he died: He deserves it.

"What is the danger of the sin that adults want to add?"

Gu Xiu cried: "I, Gu Xiu, am loyal to Your Majesty, I am willing to spend five million taels of silver to buy the lives of my whole family, and I am willing to hand over all the mines to Your Majesty." ”

What an abandoned pawn to protect the car!

Song Wei's headache is not how much money to copy, but to restore the salt supply.

Gu Xiu tested his bottom line, and thought that he had grasped Song Wei's shortcomings, don't forget, Song Wei is guilty.

"Drag it out!"

Gu Xiu was dragged out by two soldiers for half a zhang, only to realize that Song Wei really wanted to kill him: "My lord, spare my life!" Spare your life! ”

"Is it stupid to be a Bento?"

Song Wei pointed to his nose: "You even dare to say that you will cut off the salt, what else do you dare not do?" ”

"Ahh

Fanzi cut Gu Xiu's clothes apart and began to slap his body with a knife, Gu Xiu's fart was urinating: "Song Wei, you kill me, the salt supply is far away!" ”

"Look, death is on the verge of death, and you dare to blackmail Bendu? Do you say that Ben Governor dares to use you? Song Wei scoffed.

"Song Wei, you are a minister, you are vain for the survival of the country, you are a ...... Yes! Gu Xiu screamed miserably, because the knife cut open the cavity and began to cut one by one.

"The dynasty will not die, and the governor will not die, but your nine clans will all have to die." Song Wei scoffed.

All the salt merchants were dumbfounded, Song Wei really dared to Ling Chi.

"My lord, as long as you spare me, I will resume the salt supply immediately." There was a businessman who spoke the authentic Fengyang dialect and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Fengyang people?"

Song Wei pointed to himself: "My ancestor is also from Fengyang." ”

"Your Majesty's ancestor is also from Fengyang."

"Why are you even a pit for your own people?"

"Drag it out! Ling Chi! ”

Song Wei roared.

What do you keep for such unfaithful and unrighteous things?

"Who is Bendo?"

"You still don't understand!"

"It's a person who has made meritorious deeds!"

"This governor is not the Marquis of Xining, nor is he the garrison of Nanjing!"

"It's just a guilty person, Your Majesty ordered to supervise the salt, it's a meritorious service!"

"But you!"

"Either you don't admit guilt, or you have to pay for peace!"

"Can Your Majesty hear you?"

"I can't hear you!"

"The only one who can hear you speak is Song Wei, the governor of me!"

"But you don't think about me Song Wei at all?"

"Your heads don't matter! Whether the salt is supplied or not has nothing to do with me Song Wei! ”

"I'm going to save my head!"

Song Wei's tone softened: "Then I can only suffer you, use your head to buy my head, okay?" ”

All the salt merchants are stupid, and when it comes to it, they still have to be gabai?

However, there are people who are shrewd.

Song Wei came to Yangzhou to supervise the salt, but as soon as he came, the salt was broken, so he lost the sacred heart, and if Song Wei wanted to get the sacred heart back, he had to use the blood of the salt merchant to satisfy His Majesty.

"My lord, the villain can help the adult regain His Majesty's favor."

A businessman crawled out of the crowd.

"Go on." Song Wei was still laughing.

Outside, there were two people who were being Lingchi, and the screams made people have nightmares for a lifetime.

But no one wants to be the third to be Lingchi.

"What the heavenly family wants is nothing more than power and money, power is who is behind us, and who is eating dividends in Lianghuai; Wealth, one is our wealth, and the other is the money earned from salt. ”

"As long as the adults do these things well, they will definitely be able to regain the Sacred Heart."

Song Wei listened funny and laughed: "What's your name?" ”

"The villain's name is Lu Rujing, a native of Huizhou." He replied tremblingly.

"Lu Rujing, go on."

Lu Rujing breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, killing people can't solve the problem, even if you kill all of us, it won't help." ”

"I, we are willing to cooperate with you, work hard for you, and tell you all the doorways in the salt merchant, so that you can have something to say in front of Your Majesty."

"Then write down all the ways of the salt merchants, and let all of our family wealth be picked up in the palace."

"In the future, the profits of salt will be distributed by and by the palace."

"Villains, etc., are willing to be His Majesty's loyal dogs, be His Majesty's slaves, and serve His Majesty and the palace for the rest of their lives!"

"You, you can rely on the Yangzhou salt merchants, and become prominent in the court."

Bang Bang Bang!

Song Wei slapped him on the face: "You are so smart, you know how to think about Bendu, you are a good dog." ”

Lu Rujing nodded, willing to be Song Wei's dog.

"But, the biggest of you is a prefect, right? Are you worthy to be Bendo's dog? ”

Song Wei really underestimated the salt merchants.

The salt merchant is not a mere prefect, and his status may be higher than that of the Marquis of Xining.

"The villain is willing to work hard and be a lackey of the adult." Lu Rujing's face was full of hope.

Being a dog is not an insulting word.

It's a compliment, loyal people are lackeys, even Yu Qian and Hu Hu call themselves the emperor's lackeys, which is a compliment.

Loyal ministers and dogs are equated.

"You're a good dog."

Song Wei clicked his lips: "It's a pity, this governor can't believe you." ”

"This is Yangzhou Mansion, as soon as you leave this hall, the governor will not be able to find you."

"All promises are empty talk."

"What's the use?"

Song Wei can see through people's hearts, and no one believes it.

"The villain is willing to take his children as hostages......" Lu Rujing is also ruthless.

"Children are nothing, you are still young, how many have died, and you can still have another life."

Song Wei's gaze moved downward: "Unless you all become eunuchs and can't give birth, and children are hostages, there will be some deterrence." ”

Lu Rujing trembled.

Song Wei didn't subdue the lackeys at all, but wanted the lives of these people.

There are more than 100 salt merchants, and if they can buy Daming with the money in their families, Song Wei actually wants them all to be eunuchs.

Business, in the eyes of officials, is just a tool.

Song Wei didn't regard them as extraordinary people at all.

"Please spare your life!" Lu Rujing kowtowed to the ground.

"Is life important, or is that thing important?"

Song Wei smiled strangely: "If you don't accept a letter of submission, how can I believe you?" ”

"As soon as you touch your mouth, I believe it all?"

"When I'm Song Wei stupid?"

"Think about it, which is important?"

Lu Rujing can see that Song Wei doesn't really want to talk, but just practices salt merchants.

In other words, the emperor was dissatisfied with the salt merchants' control of the salt and wanted to replace everyone.

Song Wei stood up: "Someone came, I copied Yao Shigui and other family belongings to the governor, packed them all up, and sent them to Nanjing City!" ”

"My lord, if you are castrated, can you keep your family wealth?" A salt merchant asked in horror.

It's a matter of asking for money, not life.

Song Wei asked him with a smile: "Then Your Majesty has not been able to eat salt for a few days, can you make up for these few days for Your Majesty?" ”

He shook his head, no one has the ability to travel through time and space.

"Then can you make the whole world eat salt at once?"

He shook his head again.

"So what's the use of you? Wasting air? Drag it out! Ling Chi! Song Wei roared.

The merchant cried and said, "I am willing to be castrated, I am willing, please don't kill me!" ”

More than 100 businessmen looked at each other, tears raining down.

The older ones are better, but the younger ones are uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to serve the Governor, then drag them all out." Song Wei sighed.

"Don't, Lord Song, please castrate me!"

There are businessmen who plead.

"I'm willing too, I'm willing to castrate!"

Merchants are scrambling to be castrated, but it is also a strange sight.

Lu Rujing was still hesitating, he wanted to keep the same, either to save his body or his family wealth.

Song Wei was still thinking that he must send soldiers to follow, not let them be cautious and destroy the salt making equipment, and he must ensure the supply of salt.

"My lord, I know where the salt is!"

Lu Rujing went crazy: "There is salt in Guangdong, as long as the adults don't castrate the villain, the villain can get salt from Guangzhou." ”

The salt production area of Daming is still very rich, there are Sichuan salt, Shaanxi salt, Huguang salt, and sea salt in Guangdong.

However, the salt introduced by the court was monopolized by the two Huai merchants, and then monopolized by Yangzhou.

Salt from all over the country either goes around in Yangzhou and becomes Huai salt and then sells, or it has to become private salt and sell it everywhere.

Sichuan Zigong salt is an exception and can be sold, but it is crowded out.

After all, Zigong salt is blocking people's money.

"This governor also knows that there is salt in Guangdong, but the salt in Guangdong will go to Beijing, and you will also take the road of Yangzhou.

Song Wei had already investigated it.

Salt merchants, in order to cut off salt in the whole country, all the salt stored in the water has been raised.

More than two Huai salt, all the salt that passed through Yangzhou was raised!

So the Ming cut off the salt.

Lu Rujing gritted his teeth: "If the villain takes out the salt and presents it to His Majesty, can he not be castrated!" ”

He wanted to be a man, not a eunuch.

"Do you have private salt?"

All the businessmen all looked at Lu Rujing angrily.

"My family doesn't have one, but I know that Guangdong salt has a smuggling route in Yangzhou." Lu Rujing really left a hand.

Song Wei suddenly thought, can the salt that was lifted into the water also be salvaged?

"No, count the days, you have already entered the sea......"

"Hold on to castration!"

Song Wei's eyes gradually brightened: "Then bring all the family members over, you go back to organize the stove households, salt ding, and immediately resume the salt supply!" ”

"Whoever dares to destroy the salt-making equipment will be executed by the nine clans!"

First pick the locals in Yangzhou to copy the house first, and then go to various places to copy, and don't leave a copper plate for them.

The sound of crying and shouting is deafening.

As for whether Lu Rujing would be castrated, Song Wei thought about it for a long time and ranked him last......

A newspaper was sent to Nanjing.

"Song Wei is really good at playing, there are more than 100 eunuchs in the palace."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing.

It's a real idea.

Turn man into a eunuch, and then control his family, to control the salt merchants, and restore production.

Even if the eunuchs wanted to rebel, they were all carried on stretchers, and they were powerless, besides, who would fight the world with a eunuch.

Song Wei also controlled the families of all the salt merchants, so that they did not dare to make trouble.

Salt administration, has opened up the situation.

Song Wei's first fire burned well.

"Congratulations to Emperor Xi, there will be more than a hundred businessmen working for you soon." Feng Xiao thinks it's a good thing.

Use these eunuchs and imperial merchants to make money first, and then send eunuchs to learn from them, and in the future, there will be a steady stream of eunuchs doing business and making money for the royal family.

"Waste utilization, just right."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let Song Wei copy it clean, don't let these businessmen be deceived." ”

"Go and get the old lady again."

In the past few days, Hu Hu has had a hard time.

Always struggling, in the choice.

The demon book case, as if it did not happen in Nanjing, no one passed on the demon book case, and even in the newspaper, there was not a single article on the demon book case.

It's as if the demon book case has never existed from beginning to end.

However, the emperor's army raided the entire Yingtian Mansion.

Up and down, the government and the opposition turned a blind eye.

No one dared to speak up for these people, and no one could feel the pulse of the emperor, because the emperor had been in the palace and had not appeared in public for a long time.

And the emperor is greedy for money, and he didn't say anything about it, which is a very strange thing.

The Ming Dynasty's official system is to make people speak, spraying the emperor is commonplace, and Zhu Qiyu is about to vomit blood.

Hu Hu entered the palace and looked terrified after reading Song Wei's recital.

Song Wei made such a joke, apparently at the behest of the emperor, castrated more than 100 merchants, controlled their homes, and forcibly resumed the salt supply.

In Lianghuai is to completely open up the situation.

"The two Huai salt merchants dare to threaten me with broken salt."

"These businessmen are quite honest, and they are willing to emasculate themselves to prove their innocence."

"The rest of the merchants, there is no need to stay."

"Raiding the family and exterminating the family, and not returning to the public."

"What does the old lady think?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled weirdly.

Hu Hu had a ghost in his heart, so when he saw the emperor, he always felt that the emperor was testing him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty suppressed the two Huai salt merchants with power, but you have thought about it, what should you do in the future?" ”

"Salt politics supports the finances of the Ming Dynasty."

"You killed a batch of salt merchants, and after all, you will use another batch, and so on, but it's just for money."

"Why do you want to kill more?"

Hu Hu was testing what the emperor was going to do.

"Old lady Fu don't want to test me, there is intimacy between me and you."

"There is Concubine Hu in the middle, you and the emperor's family are both prosperous and lossy."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I have said, the Ming Dynasty does not rely on salt politics to support finances, and I will fight the price of salt." ”

"After a month of salt cut-off, the salt storage of each family is probably gone, right?"

"They all taste the taste of eating without salt."

"The people's families regard salt as a luxury, and they are usually reluctant to eat it."

"On the Chinese New Year's Eve of Jingtai's eighth year, Shu asked the Shangshi Bureau, why is there so little sauerkraut in the palace?"

"At that time, the eunuch of the Food Bureau told me that salt was too expensive, even if it was in the palace, I had to save it."

"Because salt is expensive, sauerkraut is a luxury."

"Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"

"We must bring down the price of salt, so that everyone in the world can eat affordable salt."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and signaled Hu Hu not to persuade: "I know very well that the salt policy is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and I didn't say that the salt policy should be completely abolished." ”

"It's just food and salt, which are the necessities of the people's lives."

"I think we should let the people eat enough, and the price should be appropriately lower."

Hu Hu knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty loves the people, and the ministers empathize." ”

"Open the Chinese law, taken from the Yuan Dynasty."

"During the time of Taizu, salt was used to support the military and government, and the Northern Expedition was born."

"And when Emperor Taizong was in power, he wantonly issued salt citations, and most of the money from the five expeditions to Mobei came from salt citations."

"This salt introduction is actually equivalent to a bank loan, and you will eat grain."

"The debts of the Yongle Dynasty can only be paid off when they reach the Orthodox Dynasty."

It turned out that the arrears of the salt introduction were owed by the Yongle Dynasty.

"Lao Chen thinks that the direct issuance of parity salt will cause market turmoil."

"It's better to implement a pricing system first, contract out all the salt mines and salt farms, and the center is responsible for pricing and collecting taxes."

Hu Hu didn't say how important salt and iron are.

Instead, choose private ownership.

He took a bigger step than Zhu Qiyu.

What Zhu Qiyu thinks is that the salt farm is officially operated and the national uniform price is implemented.

However, there are drawbacks.

Now that Zhu Qiyu has plenty of money in his hands, when Zhu Qiyu urgently needs money one day, he will make a fuss about the salt policy and start to raise the price, which is inevitable.

Hu Hu is in one step, cutting off the possibility of soaring salt prices, at least not controlled by the center.

But!

The deep-seated reason is that Hu Hu wants to create a new salt merchant.

He gave Hu Hu two ways to go, one to help the Jiangnan gentry and support the Jiangnan gentry; The other way is that the emperor goes all the way to the black.

As a result, Hu Hu did not choose either path.

Instead, it was decided to form a new chaebol, and this chaebol had to listen to his nonsense.

"The old lady is not afraid of the new salt merchants, is it difficult to control?" Zhu Qiyu is also considering.

"Your Majesty, with you, what salt merchant can't control?"

Hu Hui also came up with a difficult problem and was difficult to be the emperor.

The emperor wanted to expand the imperial power and hold the salt in the palm of his hand, this was the path Song Wei chose for him, Song Wei castrated the salt merchants, didn't he let them work for the emperor.

Hu Hu blocked this road and let a new class be born, as for who can hold it, each depends on his ability.

"The old lady really believes in me."

Zhu Qiyu smiled but said nothing.

He must purge the Jiangnan gentry, because he is worried that they will become big chaebols and influence politics in the future.

But Hu Hu is creating chaebols.

Privatization of salt.

It is very likely that the salt will be out of the emperor's control, and there will be a gap in the imperial power.

"The old lady is very right!"

"Since I have privatized the minerals, I should also privatize the salt!"

"In this way, the center only needs to be responsible for collecting taxes."

Zhu Qiyu clapped.

Hu Hu was slightly stunned, the emperor is not afraid of forming a chaebol?

"But this salt is not just two in one place."

"Daming is so big, there are too many places to produce salt."

"Since the salt has been privatized, I have issued thousands of salt sales licenses, and anyone can sell them as long as they pay the salt tax."

Rumble!

Hu Hui's face changed, the emperor did not want to create a chaebol, but to turn the big into a small one, and thousands of merchants selling salt were created all over the country, see how they formed a chaebol?

"One more article, salt, is not allowed to be sold across provinces."

Zhu Qiyu smiled.

As long as salt does not cross provinces, no one can escape taxes.

Moreover, it is impossible to form a big salt merchant and a big chaebol.

All provinces eat salt from each province, and the market is not so big, how can salt merchants be a consortium?

This is Zhu Qiyu's countermeasure.

"Your Majesty, is it too quick to privatize salt?"

Hu Hu regretted it a little, so that as long as the emperor held the salt of the provinces, there would be no gap in imperial power.

"It doesn't matter, I believe in the ability of the Ming people to adapt."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Regardless of the provinces, they must be sold at a unified national price, and no one is allowed to sell higher than this price, nor is it allowed to sell below this price." ”

smashed a few big salt merchants and turned them into thousands of small salt merchants.

Salt will also be controlled in the hands of the emperor.

Hu Hu felt like he was lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and sighed: "Your Majesty, what should I do if there is no salt in some provinces?" ”

"Send people to find salt mines, they will definitely find salt, and if they don't have it for the time being, they will import it from nearby provinces, and the price will be appropriately raised, but it will be cheaper than private salt." Zhu Qiyu said.

"Your Majesty, now that the salt merchant has cut off salt, how can he calm the mouth of the world?"

"Immediately issue a holy decree to package and sell salt farms across the country, resume work and production, and immediately sell affordable salt to the people."

Zhu Qiyu pondered: "The price of salt, let the cabinet discuss, I think it can be set between one and three articles." ”

The salt works in Yangzhou were all privately owned by the emperor, and now they are sold, and the emperor wants money, not factories.

"So low?"

Hu Hui was taken aback: "Your Majesty, Daming's salt is really not that expensive. ”

"The origin sales are 8 wen a catty, if the season is not good, no more than 20 wen a catty, the non-origin is a little more expensive, the most expensive place is three coins of silver and a catty of salt."

The salt of the Ming Dynasty has always been very stable, the Hongwu Dynasty is 8 Wen, the peak period is 14 Wen, and the price of places that do not produce salt must be high.

"How much does it cost?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

The cost of salt mining is not low, and salt, stove households, and transportation are all cost.

"Find a way to reduce the cost, not more than five cents a pound of salt, where salt is not produced, it should be appropriately raised, but it can't be too high, as long as the price is lower than the private salt, the private salt will disappear."

Don't try to expand sales, small profits and quick sales to make a profit.

The productivity of this era is here, and the bigger the sales, the more money will be lost, and eventually the salt dealers will go on strike.

"Then release the nationality of Yanding and stove households as appropriate, and turn them into civil registration."

Zhu Qiyu didn't let Hu Hu admonish: "Let the salt merchants go to Zhongnan to catch slaves, it doesn't matter how many people are tired to death, you can spend money to invite people to go there to arrest them, and people from any country can arrest them!" ”

"The salt tax should be appropriately lowered, and it will be lowered in a preferential way, so that I will have to collect it one day, and they will not pay and resist the tax."

"Send a message to Song Wei, and in ten days, I will see the supply of salt restored."

"If you can't recover, I'll cut off his Song Wei's head and let him figure it out by himself!"

Feng Xiaosuan saw that the emperor was going to exterminate the salt merchants.

He cut Song Wei, Song Wei must cut the salt merchant first.

"After the supply of salt was restored, the old lady began to release the stove households, salt ding, etc., and all of them were successively converted into civilian registration."

"As compensation, give them some tools and encourage them to set up factories."

Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything about dividing the land, it's very difficult to divide the land, there are too many hidden households released in Jiangnan, these people are bloodsuckers, and if they are not well placed, they will be chaotic.

Hu Hui originally wanted to talk about the demon book case.

As a result, the emperor sent him away.

When he left the palace, he saw a truckload of goods and goods being shipped to the factory, and the exchange bank in Nanjing City was now deserted.

Nonsense, the rich have been arrested, who has silver for silver coins.

The demon book case is intensifying in Beijing.

Zhou Xuan wantonly arrested people, and the more he caught the demon, the bigger the wind became.

Cabinet partisanship intensified.

In the eleventh year of Jingtai, spring flowers bloomed.

Chen You led the army to attack Turpan, but Mansuer was defeated and retreated into Qamdo, and the entire territory of Turpan was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.

When the news reached Nanzhili, it was already April.

"Well played!"

Zhu Qiyu said excitedly: "The annexation of Turpan, Chen You has made great contributions, he will be promoted to the Marquis of Shazhou, and the remaining generals will be promoted to one level, and they will be rewarded according to their military achievements, and the cabinet will draw up a list of rewards." ”

The decree has just been issued.

Yushi Qin Hong impeached Chen You, fornicated with full speed, forged meritorious deeds, and conspired to falsely collect Turpan.

When the party dispute in Beijing intensified over the demon book case, Chen You's case was like a scoop of cold water, sprinkled on everyone's hearts.

The courtier's gaze was attracted by Chen You and looked at the great northwest.

Chen You immediately went to the book, shouted wronged, and said that Fan Sheng could testify.

directly dragged Fan Guang, who was guarding Nanjing, into the water.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department sent people to Turpan to verify their achievements, and as soon as they arrived in Turpan, some soldiers reported Chen You and plotted to rebel.

"Chen You falsely reported his merits, I'm afraid that there is, and the conspiracy to pretend to occupy Turpan may not exist." Maang said quietly.

The Supervision Department was established by the original six sections, and Zhou Hongmo served as the supervision history.

"It's not that it doesn't exist, it's almost certain."

Zhou Hongmo said seriously: "This Chen You and Man Su'er have a good relationship, I mentioned it before, and Man Su'er are in charge of Turpan. ”

"Before, I had a mistake in the intelligence of the DPRK, thinking that Turpan had broken away from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and entered Turpan from Mansuer, which means that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate can still control Turpan."

"And this full speed, and the capital of a famous general, and Daming have fought back and forth, equally."

"Chen You spent a month flattening Turpan? The military newspaper was vague and vague. ”

"So the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, Qin Hong, reported Chen You."

"My Supervision Department sent someone to investigate, and found that Turpan is very strange, the Ming army seems to have taken over Turpan, but there was no slaughter of the city, obviously Chen You is in charge of Turpan with Man Suer, not really occupying Turpan."

When will the Ming Dynasty completely occupy a place, it depends on whether the city is slaughtered or not?

However, Yao Kui and others were thinking.

Chen You took the risk, but he cheapened Yu Qian.

The demon book case made Yu Qian fall into the quagmire, and his reputation in Beijing was already stinky, and the sudden Chen You case attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Hongmo, an orthodox ten-year jinshi, is the emperor's attendant bachelor, and the emperor likes to listen to his lectures very much.

Therefore, he served as the first inspector of the Supervision Department.

Qin Hong, who was a Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, was a strong person, compared himself with Wei Zheng, often gave direct advice by bus, and did not give the emperor face several times.

Will such a person be co-opted by Yu Qian?

"Zhou supervises history, you can't judge Chen You's merits by slaughtering the city or not." Yao Kui did not want the Chen You case to occur.

"How not? The first time Chen You attacked Turpan, he slaughtered all the cities in Turpan. ”

Yu Qian retorted: "At that time, Kou Shen also asked him, there are many people in Turpan who believe in Yijiao, and you Chen You also believe in Yijiao, so slaughtering the same kind, does it hurt Tiande?" ”

"But he Chen You said: I am first His Majesty's courtier, then the Ming people, and finally the Yijiao believers."

"He also burned down the monasteries of the Ido religion, which shows his heart."

"As we all know, the people of the Yijiao sect have a very high sense of identity with the sect, Chen You burned his monastery, and he must not die, why didn't Chen You slaughter the city?"

Yu Qian wants to hammer Chen You's case.

As long as Chen You's case burned, he Yu Qian took advantage of the situation to get out.

Geng Jiuchou spoke: "Xing Guogong, don't you think your explanation is too far-fetched? ”

"How far-fetched?"

Yu Qian asked rhetorically: "In July of the tenth year of Jingtai, Chen You's report said that the people of Turpan all believe in Yijiao. ”

"Back then, the Mongols believed in Islam, don't we know what the situation is?"

"Chen You is also a believer in the Yijiao, why isn't he my Mingren?" Geng Jiuchou retorted.

"Chen You burned the temple, causing the Yijiao followers to hate Chen You deeply, how is it wrong?" Yu Qian was a little anxious.

The others laughed and said nothing.

Can it be understood in this way that Chen You's case was concocted by Yu Qian?

Debated.

Yu Qian and Zhou Hongmo concluded that Chen You took the risk of taking credit and pretending to occupy Turpan.

Yao Kui and Geng Jiuchou believe that the investigation should continue.

Sun Yuanzhen coughed lightly: "Your Majesty has just left the Jingshi for a few months, and there have been three frequent cases in the Jingshi, what do you think?" ”

"Without His Majesty in charge, there will be constant ghosts, so I can only ask the saint to return to Luan." Geng Jiuchou is very good at kneeling and licking.

Yu Qian is the most bitter.

The Hanzong case and the demon book case, the two cases came to him.

After Zhou Xuan's investigation, he purged his henchmen, and more than a dozen officials in the court were imprisoned in Dali Temple.

And the emperor in Nanjing, there was no clear instruction, and the factory guards did not participate in it.

Finally ushered in a turnaround!

"At the beginning of the year, the two Huai salt merchants tried to cut off the salt to threaten His Majesty, and now the salt merchants have been killed, and the new salt policy has been implemented, and the whole country is still in chaos."

Chen Wenhe mud: "I thought that now is the time for the central government to unite and overcome difficulties together. ”

"There is a problem with the salt policy of the two Huai, and the people in many places cannot eat salt."

"Even if Your Majesty relaxes salt control and salt is mined everywhere, it will be difficult to quell the chaos immediately."

Everyone knows that Chen Wen is a neutral.

No one listened to him.

This is the best time to fall.

Sun Yuanzhen and Yao Kui didn't want to let go.

"Xing Guogong, don't you think this Chen You case happened very coincidentally?" Sun Yuanzhen said suddenly.

Yao Kui and Sun Yuanzhen are resolute.

Geng Jiuchou, Wang Fu and others are semi-neutral, they will go on if there is a benefit, and they will stop eating if there is no benefit, and they may also jump to Yu Qian.

"What does Geng Shangshu mean, the Chen You case that I initiated?"

Yu Qian sneered: "Every move I make, how many pairs of eyes do you have staring at?" Don't you know how many slaves there are in my house? ”

"Chen You is eager to make meritorious service and want to make meritorious service and be knighted before he dies, so what does it have to do with me Yu Qian?"

After arguing for an hour, there was no result.

Yu Qian made a decision: "Whether it's true or not, Chen You must be arrested and brought back to Beijing, and he must not be allowed to continue to lead the army." ”

"But what if it's really a credit?" Sun Yuanzhen asked him.

"Sun Shangshu, can you guarantee that Chen You must be credible? If he leads a large army to rebel, will you bear the consequences? ”

No one can afford to take this responsibility.

Chen You must be relieved of his military power and Chen Youzhi must be brought back to Beijing.

"But Turpan is still fighting, and Man Su'er is eyeing him, once the imperial court changes generals, Man Su'er soldiers enter Turpan, and Turpan is lost again, so is this case true or false?"

Ma Wensheng, who has not spoken, made a statement.

The entire Wenhua Hall was shocked.

No one spoke.

Is Ma Wensheng a smart person?

No one cares if Chen You's case is true or not, Yu Qian is taking the opportunity to get out, Yao Kui and others want to lock Yu Qian in the demon book case.

Even, there's a layer.

The imperial court expanded its territory, the emperor slaughtered all sides in the south of the Yangtze River, and the classes under the feet of all the courtiers had begun to shake.

The Chen You case broke out.

Zhou Xuan had to stop arresting Yu and began to turn around and investigate Chen You's case.

Yu Qian finally got a chance to breathe.

But in Nanjing, Fan Guang was depressed.

He knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know what those two cubs think, and I don't know if what they say is true or false, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!" ”

If Chen You takes the lead, then Kou Shen, Fan Sheng, Fan Jiong, Shenying, and Tao Jin all have problems.

Fan Guangzhen didn't expect that the fire of party struggle could burn on his head.

"Get up, I believe you."

Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "Chen You is indeed greedy for merit, he is old, and he wants to earn a marquis for meritorious service, after all, his descendants are not angry, which is understandable." ”

"But if he dares to pretend to occupy Turpan, it will be very stupid, and he will not even be able to keep the earl in his hands."

"Fan Guang, what do you say?"

Poof!

Fan Guang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know if it's true or not." ”

"Don't be afraid, I don't doubt you." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Don't look at Fan Guang who is responsible for defending Nanjing, as long as he does not conform to the emperor's mind, the emperor can kill him with a holy decree.

And the arch guard of the inner palace was handed over to Shu Liang's Xuanfeng battalion.

There are still armies outside, as long as Fan Guang has any changes, it will be over.

That's why the emperor slept peacefully.

Fan Guang really wanted to catch the two bastards back immediately, and whipped them to death with a wild whip, can you not mix with this kind of thing.

"How many people does Chen You have?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao.

"Back to the emperor, Chen You's subordinates are the Gansu Army, the Gansu Army has just been formed, and the Gansu soldiers formed by the original Gansu Dusi, plus the Ningxia soldiers, and the surrendered people, the Gansu soldiers are 26,372 people."

Zhu Qiyu said: "There are only more than 20,000 people." ”

"Let him continue to lead the troops."

"Whether it's true or not, let him lead the troops to continue the war."

"If it's fake, make it real, don't make it difficult for me to do it."

The emperor is protecting Chen You.

The battle must be fought, and the battle must be won continuously, and the border pass will win the battle, and he, the emperor, will not panic in his heart, and will do whatever he wants in Jiangnan.

But.

The next day, news came from Beijing.

Yu Qian ordered Chen You to be relieved of his military power, and Chen You was escorted back to Beijing, with Kou Shen in charge of the Gansu Army and continuing the campaign.

"What a Yu Qian!"

Zhu Qiyu's face changed sharply, and his eyes flickered: "Go out!" The doors of the temple are shut! ”

"This Chen You case must have been concocted by Yu Qian!"

"In order to get out, he created the Chen You case."

"Chen You really swallowed Turpan, and as soon as Chen You leaves, he will inevitably counterattack at full speed, and Turpan will be lost again, and even Gansu will be at risk of overturning."

"What a Yu Qian, he saw such a move!"

"Regardless of the safety of Daming, he only thinks about his own honor and disgrace, how selfish!"

The Chen You case is ambiguous until now, because there is no conclusive evidence and no conclusive confession.

It can be said that this case is completely confusing.

There is only a report letter from Yushi Qin Hong.

This is the work of the imperial history, and it is normal to report and report.

When Fang Ying sent troops, Zhu Qiyu could receive dozens of report letters a day, and Fang Ying would be reported for any violation of the system, and even a letter reporting Fang Ying's rebellion, he could receive it every day.

This is the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

There is a royal history in each army, which is to prevent the rebellion of the generals.

There are not only imperial histories, but also eunuchs, factory guards, and now there are more people from the Military Discipline Department and the Military Officials Department, so many people monitor each other, so that the military power is firmly in the hands of the center.

However, the cabinet presided over by Yu Qian actually relied on Qin Hong's report letter to close the coffin.

It's very arbitrary.

Why did the ministers of the court and the central government agree?

Is this a fire burning on my head?

"I didn't find out before, Zhou Hongmo is actually Yu Qian's person!"

Zhu Qiyu saw it clearly.

It is estimated that the courtiers were also dumbfounded, they stared at Yu Qian, but they did not stare at Yu Qian's henchmen, giving Yu Qian a chance to turn the tables.

"Isn't there anyone in the DPRK who understands?"

"Nope."

"The mantra I set up may not be really for me."

"They are used to kill each other with Qian, I come to limit Yu Qian, and similarly, Yu Qian also comes to limit me."

"The spell I set for Yu Qian."

"Yu Qian, isn't it a tight spell for me?"

Zhu Qiyu strung the whole thing together and thought about it, and suddenly became transparent.

"There's another floor!"

"It was I who killed the gentry in Jiangnan, and these gentry concocted Chen You's case to help Yu Qian get out of trouble, so that Yu Qian could restrain me in turn."

"Chen You, just a political victim."

"There are masters in this Jiangnan gentry, this master who guides the maze, will it be you? Old lady! ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "These people, regardless of the hardships of the war ahead, are bent on fighting for power and profit, they should all be killed!" ”

"It's almost time for you!"

Chen You's case is taken from the Zeng Milling case of the Jiajing Dynasty

Zeng Milling (1509~1548), the character is heavy, a native of Huangyan County, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province (now Huangyan District), and his father was Zeng Jia. At the age of 12, his father became a friend in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou) in business, and he took Jiangdu to teach and settled in Jiangdu. He was appointed as the governor of Shandong, and then served as the squire of the military department, and the governor of Yulin, Shaanxi. Guarding the border of the frontier, when he was victorious, he was framed by the traitor Yan Song and died unjustly. Later generations compiled this unjust case into the opera "Panfu Sof", which became a famous drama.
