Chapter 225: Don't get on the thief ship

This Shen Zhengcong is to wipe the butts of these officials who have committed crimes in Zhejiang, since they want to wipe their butts, they have to catch up with a big man, this His Royal Highness King Han is the biggest person in the Ming Dynasty except for the emperor.

If it weren't for Zhu Song to come, even if His Majesty the Emperor came, he might not necessarily take out this peerless treasure.

But now Zhu Song's lips touched his lips and said that he would buy this balcony sticker with 300,000 taels of silver, then this matter has become a business, a sale, so how can anyone be in love?

"Your Highness, this balcony post is placed on the grass people, but it's a pity, this balcony post is put on His Highness, and that is the real thing to its owner! Please don't shirk Your Highness, accept this balcony post, right? ”

Zhu Song turned around, closed the unfolded balcony post again, and then walked out of the door leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Shen Zheng hurriedly ran to Zhu Song and knelt down.

"Your Highness! Your Highness will accept this balcony post! ”

Zhu Song looked at Shen Zhengcong condescendingly.

"This balcony post is indeed a good thing, but how can this king not understand, after receiving your balcony post this king, it will become your big tree in Beijing, after receiving this balcony post, this king and you are in the same boat, this king wants to protect your lives, to fight for your interests, but also to give you a cover, accept this thing, this king will not be able to bring back this silver."

"Go to the balcony and post such a valuable thing, enough for this king to cover for you, you have such an idea, although this thing is precious, but if you can't get the silver that this king wants, then this king can also let people raid your home and take this balcony post!"

"Shopkeeper Shen, this king sees that you are not an official, and when you play dumb riddles in the officialdom, this king will not talk to you, and this king doesn't like to talk around, in the fourth year of Jianwen, how much did the salt tax of the two Zhejiang and Huai pay to the imperial court? There are people in the court who are recorded, and they have run away, but the account books are still there! ”

"When you take advantage of the civil strife in the country, it is already a capital crime to be greedy for the salt tax of the country, and now His Majesty the Emperor Shengming has given you a chance, as long as you take out the silver you ate before, find a way to make up the silver, and hand it over to the court, and this king will keep you safe!"

"Do you not want to pay this money or do you really not have it?"

Shen Zheng knelt on the ground, and this sense of powerlessness when he was bullied in the palace at that time was once again reflected.

Zhu Song is a beast that eats people and does not spit out bones, people make it clear, this year is to pick up a layer of skin for you, hand over the silver, nothing happens, if there is no silver, then find a way to make it up, if you can't make it up, you will die.

Shen Zhengcong wanted to make up, except for the money he needed in the second half of this year, he could take it out, even if he sold this huge family foundation, but it was barely feasible to make up nearly one million taels or even more than one million taels by himself.

But His Royal Highness King Han has five million in one mouth, and the salt tax for a whole year in two Zhejiang, even if he smashes this bone, there is no way.

Now that this is clear, Shen Zheng never pretended to beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, where did the salt tax go in the past four years, Your Highness and the grass people know very well, the grass people should pay a lot of salt tax, but this tax silver will be deducted when it reaches the top, and there will be little left when it is sent to the imperial court."

"Your Highness, grass people are pariahs, merchants! Those officials they want to press on the heads of the grass people, they eat dry and wipe clean, this silver into their stomachs is not able to spit out, they will try all kinds of ways to buy land, buy property, if this Zhejiang officials work together, why worry about this tax silver can not come out, even if it is five million taels difficult, but three million taels is still possible! ”

"The grass people have already thought about it, if His Royal Highness collects three million tax silver this year, after New Year's Day this winter, the grass people will pay this year's tax silver in advance! In the autumn of the following year, two million more will be made up! ”

"But this is just the idea of the grass people, those people will definitely not agree to hand over the silver, but the grass people have no choice, if they agree to hand over the silver for three million, they must let His Highness bring it back!"

Looking at Shen Zhengcong's pitiful Baba, this Zhu Song didn't have to force him, he was a businessman, especially in the Ming Dynasty, when the heavy agriculture and business suppression were particularly serious, even if those officials really wanted to eat, he had no way at all.

Zhu Song has to admit that he didn't plan to let him go at all, the officials have taken the money, can you, a businessman, not take any money?

But in the end, the big head is not on him, but who let him always rush to the front and can't tell those officials?

If you follow the old method of Jinyiwei before, if you encounter such an official, you will be arrested, tortured, and you are not afraid that he will not spit out money.

But now that Yongle has just ascended the throne, the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition are not stable, let alone the world, many officials have resigned on the spot and returned to their hometowns after escaping a catastrophe, and now there are still many vacancies in the court that have not been filled.

Besides, these magistrates, especially these magistrates, are to some extent more important than the court officials in the court, how important this Zhejiang is to the Ming Dynasty, if Zhejiang is in chaos, when will the court and the world return to the right track?

This is also the reason why Zhu Song worked so hard, and even if he really found out what they came from, now is the time to employ people, so he will be promoted casually, and he is afraid that his ability is not enough, although these people are greedy, but they have some skills, and there is no chaos in Zhejiang after four years of civil war, which is very good.

And these officials are also aware of this matter, so they are so bold to keep dealing with the imperial court and playing chess with Zhu Song.

But if you go back like this, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future, not to mention that Shaanxi and Shanxi are still waiting for money for disaster relief.

Zhu Song thought about it, went back to find a chair and sat down, Shen Zheng knew that he was not leaving when he saw Zhu Song go back, he was relieved in his heart, and quickly got up from the ground.

"Your Royal Highness, the grass people will not make trouble for His Royal Highness, this balcony post His Royal Highness accepts, it can be regarded as a wish of the grass people, although my Ming Dynasty has experienced a civil war, the national strength has been depleted, but the foundation is still there, and it will return to the right track in the near future, the things left by the ancestors are still put in the hands of royal relatives like the prince, and the most secure in the hands of powerful people."

"And after this incident, the grass people promise that they will never trouble His Highness!"

Zhu Song glanced at it, and he knew that this matter was not so easy to accept, and it would be difficult to get off their thief ship in the future.
