Chapter 521 Make Money Again
Chen Li took the memorabilia, did not dare to be negligent, and rushed to the palace to have an audience.
At this time, inside the Forbidden City.
Zhu Di was still sitting upright, looking at the officials in the palace with a half-smile.
At this time, Zhu Di was like a fierce tiger entrenched above all the officials. He looked around, his eyes were like swords, no matter whether there was a ghost in his heart or not, he couldn't help trembling.
At this time, Jin Youzi saluted with an apologetic expression: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin, my brother-in-law, has committed an unforgivable crime. This is all due to my improper discipline. I really deserve death. Please punish me."
Every word Jin Youzi said made people feel ironic.
Zhu Di smiled ambiguously, and said: "The Qing family has its own guards to verify the crime. Even if the Qing family's wife and brother are guilty, it has nothing to do with the Qing family. The Qing family does not need to worry."
At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Chen Li of Jin Yiwei is asking to see you."
All the officials in the palace, at this time, their hearts were already overwhelmed.
In fact, they already knew very well in their hearts that all of this...was obviously premeditated.
It depends on who is stupid, and was caught ashore by Zhu Di and Jin Youzi.
Unfortunately, for many people this time, it is indeed a dream opportunity, and even the most stable people on weekdays can't help the urge.
After all... the officials are afraid of Zhu Di, but that doesn't mean they are afraid of the gentle Zhu Gaochi.
But now...
Zhu Di said, "Xuan."
Not long after, Chen Liji stepped into the hall, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, following His Majesty's will, I have arrested the rebellious party. Now... it has achieved results. This is the confession I took from the rebellious party. Please read it..."
Zhu Di's eyes flicked over the panicked faces of many ministers before he said, "Take it up."
Chen Li delivered the report to Yi Shiha.
Yishiha was busy submitting the report.
Zhu Di took a look at the newspaper and was quickly attracted. He subconsciously said, "Purchase an official?"
The four words of selling officials and honoring nobles have already made all the officials fight and sweat.
Many began to look away, as if to observe the reactions of others.
Obviously... in this palace... I'm afraid there are many people involved.
Zhu Di curled his lips and said with a sneer: "A county magistrate of Zhili can actually sell 9 taels? What a big deal!"
At this moment, Zhu Di couldn't see any anger on his face, so that...or...at least in Zhang Anshi's view, this His Majesty...why does it feel like he's having a good time...
"9 taels...a county magistrate..."
In the past, Jin Yiwei had not failed to find such a situation, but it was obviously impossible for a county magistrate of 9 taels.
After all, to be a county magistrate, at least you have to be a Juren.
There are only so many Juren in the world, and those who are willing to buy... are just these people, and the number of people who buy is very small. If you can give two or 3000 taels, it is considered a big deal.
Don't underestimate two or three thousand taels of silver, even so, this is a huge fortune.Enough for a wealthy family to have no worries about food and drink for a lifetime.
Zhu Di said with a hint of mockery, "It seems that we... Daming... have quite a few people with money."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help cheering up, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, is there a possibility that... the annual income of the counties in Zhili was more than ten years ago, or that of tens of other counties in the world? A hundred times, because of this...in the eyes of some people, they feel that the oil and water in it are...rich, although it costs 9 taels, if it is in office for a few years, it will definitely be able to get back the capital with interest."
Zhu Di slightly opened his eyes and said, "Is that so rich in oil and water? I didn't expect that."
Zhu Di said, looked down for a moment, and then said: "The governor of Taiping Prefecture and Shaoyin dare to sell, and there are also ambassadors and deputy envoys of the Railway Department... there are still places for admission to government schools..."
This time, Zhang Anshi couldn't help being shocked.
Yang Rong couldn't help shaking his head secretly.
Even Hu Guang couldn't hold back anymore.
Zhu Di continued: "This up and down, involving so many people... Not only that... There are also those who colluded with these people who sell officials and nobles... Liu Jin... Jin Qing's family... Liu Jin is your brother-in-law. "
Jin Youzi said heartbroken, "Exactly."
Zhu Di said: "He even sold officials... He packed three hundred clerks, two hundred military officials, and fifty clerks' posts, priced them together, and gave them to one person. He taught him how to sell them, and he really sold them." If you go out, you will get 11 taels of silver..."
Jin Youzi: "..."
Jin Youzi had already thought of various possibilities, but he never expected that he would be so frantic.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't help being dumbfounded for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but jump up in fear.
Zhang Anshi became more startled as he listened, his expression changed, and finally he couldn't help but sighed.
Zhu Di looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "Why is Zhang Qing sighing?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...maybe...maybe this has something to do with Qixia."
Zhu Di was puzzled, and said, "What's the relationship?"
Zhang Anshidao: "So far, Qixia has gradually perfected various business models, and there are many management techniques. These methods, used in the right way, can naturally benefit one party, but if these methods teach some Traitors have learned it, but they can also innovate, and so on. The thing of packaging and selling...maybe...was inspired by Qixia's business theory."
Zhu Di seems to have come to his senses, and carefully looked at the many various methods in it. This kind of method of selling officials and nobles is really unprecedented in classics and history. How to attract more buyers, how to expand the "consumer group", and how to use various benefits The official ranks and posts that can be sold are sold out, and the arrangements are clearly and clearly arranged.
Zhu Di couldn't help but said with emotion: "If Emperor Ling and Emperor Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty had learned these things, they would only have so much money? It's just...it is a death penalty for me to sell officials and nobles in Ming Dynasty. These people...are really hateful."
Jin Youzi bowed again: "My minister is dead."
Zhu Di said: "Those involved in this matter, regardless of the buyers and sellers, were all killed, just to make an example of others! All the gold and silver involved were confiscated... Chen Qing's family...how did the gold and silver be confiscated?"
Chen Li immediately said: "Your Majesty, the accounts are already in place, and most of the people have been taken down. I don't think they can escape. It's just that there are quite a few... Because of the short time, it's just an intention. It is said that there is a lot of money that has not been paid... …this……"
Zhu Di nodded: "I don't care about these things, as much silver as is stated in the accounts...If you can't find it, then torture it out. This is more than 800 million taels of silver, enough to build several railways."
Chen Lidao: "I obey the order."
No matter what the officials were thinking, they all remained silent.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help mourning for it.
What does this equate to?
It is equivalent to... Zhu Di followed the example of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, selling officials and nobles, and selling many black hats in the court.
Of course, what is better than Emperor Han Ling is that Emperor Han Ling actually sold the officials.But Zhu Di took the money directly in the name of righteousness, but there was no shortage of black hats.
Poor those jumping up and down, in order to sell their officials and nobles, they racked their brains and gave away a lot of money. In the end...it all took advantage of the court.
At this time, Zhu Di said: "Jin Yiwei must continue to investigate this matter, and the officials involved in the incident must also be taken down, as well as the chief ministers...don't let them go."
Immediately, Zhu Di turned his gaze, looked at Prince Zhu Gaochi and said, "As for the vacant officials, the Prince will draw up a regulation and present it to me."
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "My son obeys the order."
Zhu Di's eyes fell on another person again, and said: "The Jin Qing family has made meritorious service, what reward do you want?"
He looked at Jin Youzi with a smile.
Jin Youzi said: "Your Majesty, the early death of the minister's wife is really sad. Although she passed away, there is only one brother left in the world, that is, the minister's brother-in-law Liu Jin. Liu Jin committed a heinous crime. Wan die, but I hope His Majesty can deal with it lightly, if you can save his life, I will be grateful."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Yes, this brother-in-law is also a close relative, who doesn't have a brother-in-law?"
Saying that, he looked at Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei in the palace, and Zhang Anshi, and said again: "Since that's the case...then let's forgive him, Chen Qing... This Liu Jin will be interrogated strictly, and when all the crimes are fully accounted for, It was released."
As he said that, his face tensed, and he said in an unusually solemn manner: "This is a special kindness from me. It's just this one time. It's not an example."
Chen Li responded.
Jin Youzi hurriedly thanked him.
Zhu Di said: "This case... the crown prince and Zhang Anshi are taking the lead, and we must eliminate all evil. Especially those who threatened... to rebel, none of them can stay, and the family members will be exiled..."
Zhu Di paused for a moment and said, "A stab match with Xinzhou..."
Zhu Di gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look.
It seems to be encouraging something.
Suddenly, Zhang Anshi felt a continuous force gushing out of his body, like an indescribable vitality.
This seems to be Zhu Di saying: Work hard, don't miss this opportunity.
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister...is not the same as the thief!"
Zhu Di smiled, and then flicked his sleeves: "Let's go to court! And... take off these damn filial piety hats, it's annoying to see."
After the words fell, Zhu Di drove away.
Leave all the officials standing in place.
Some people couldn't move anymore, and some even sat on the ground paralyzed, so the eunuch had to help them up.
Zhang Anshi was in high spirits, and led Chen Li out of the hall excitedly.
Who knew, but saw that Jin Youzi came out of the hall alone, and immediately, someone spit on Jin Youzi suddenly.
Zhang Anshi's face tensed, and he said angrily: "Bold, insulting the minister, you deserve death. Chen Li, go and take him away."
Chen Li was about to make a move.
Jin Youzi seemed to be fine, and only smiled slightly: "Your Highness... it's just some misunderstanding, there is no need to mobilize people."
Zhang Anshi looked Jin Youzi up and down.
In fact, he didn't know Jin Youzi well, not because Zhang Anshi didn't like to deal with this man, but because he was a taciturn man who usually ignored him, even among the great scholars, he was not considered outstanding.
Zhang Anshi said: "Jin Gong... Later, I will transfer a few school captains to protect you. You must be careful when you go in and out on weekdays. These thieves will not be guaranteed to die when they are at the end of their lives."
Jin Youzi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhang Anshi said again: "As for your brother-in-law..."
Zhang Anshi looked back at Chen Li: "How is his wife and brother, have you been beaten?"
"Ah... this..." Chen Li was a little bit hard to say, but he estimated in his heart that he probably got hit.
Zhang Anshi said: "Anyway, from now on, until he confesses honestly, I won't teach him to suffer any more."
Jin Youzi shook his head and said, "It's better to let him suffer some flesh and blood."
Zhang Anshi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, yes, it is better to learn a lesson, otherwise, there will be troubles in the future."
Jin Youzi nodded and said: "Tomorrow, the old man will go to Nanzhen Fusi. These days, some people have written a lot of letters to the old man, some of which... are quite taboo, and may have... help."
Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up a little, and he said, "That would be great!"
Jin Youzi looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Your Highness must have many questions in his heart."
Zhang Anshi said: "In fact, many things have been gradually figured out, but there is only one...Jin Gong...what he did today, isn't he afraid...someone will hold grudges?"
Zhang Anshi was really surprised by this.
You must know that in all dynasties, people who did black work for the emperor were often the ones who were cast aside.After all, Jin Youzi is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, so he can clearly leave a good choice for himself.
Jin Youzi lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment before saying: "If these people succeed, then... indeed... this old man will be cast aside by the ages. But if these people fail to succeed, the New Deal will survive in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and scholars may become officials as officials. Either go into business, or follow the example of the sages of Confucius, learn the six arts well, and perform their own duties, so if you think about it... what the old man is doing today is to help His Majesty make good and eliminate bad."
He paused, then continued: "Life in this world is nothing more than a process of choosing again and again. Jin has read books for many years and also entered the court and done some things. I know that the book says that governing the country and the world are true. It’s not easy. Whether the New Deal is good or bad, you can ignore it. However, Jin has known many ills since ancient times. If he doesn’t care about it and doesn’t get rid of it, then...what’s the difference between me, Da Ming, and Pao Yuan?”
"Instead of doing nothing and keeping the so-called innocence, it is better... to do something. Unfortunately, the old man has no skills. The only thing he can do is to assist His Majesty...to get this matter done."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help taking a deep look at Jin Youzi, with obvious admiration in his eyes, and said: "This king has been taught."
Because there were so many people leaving the court, it was inconvenient for Zhang Anshi to chat further, so he bid farewell to Jin Youzi immediately, and hurried away with Chen Li.
In the value room of Wenyuan Pavilion, the atmosphere was especially embarrassing.
Xie Jin and Jin Youzi, as soon as they returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, they immediately hid in their value room.
Hu Guang, however, followed Yang Rong anxiously. After entering Yang Rong's guard room, he immediately closed the doors and windows, and said with lingering fear: "This Duke Jin is really despicable, why didn't I see it?"
Yang Rong said calmly: "If even you can see it, then... Your Majesty and Jin Gong have made a mistake. Even Hu Gong can't be fooled, who else can be fooled?"
Hu Guang said with a bitter face: "Oh, if you have something to say, just say it, why does it always smell like gunpowder?"
Yang Rongdao: "I'm telling the truth, Mr. Hu...don't think about it all day long."
Hu Guangdao: "I am a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, if I don't worry about it, what use does the imperial court want me for?"
"Have Mr. Hu ever thought about it..." Yang Rong said, "Whether Mr. Hu is worried or not, it doesn't affect the court situation?"
Hu Guang felt that his heart was pierced again, sighed, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said: "Your words are not unreasonable, Your Majesty... this time... is really ruthless, but... I think Your Majesty This move is ultimately wrong. As a king, one should be upright, but the current behavior seems to be... like..."
Hu Guang felt shy about the latter words, so he didn't continue.
Yang Rong sighed: "These have their own public opinion."
Hu Guang then said: "What will future generations say?"
Yang Rong thought for a while and said: "Yang may not know what the future generations will say, but... the old man knows that the future generations should be no different from today's soldiers and civilians. If the Great Ming can survive, the world will be stable, and the future People must be grateful for His Majesty's legacy today. But if... the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, there must be future generations who can't help but miss the stability of Daming today. As for what Your Majesty has done, it is secondary."
After hearing this, Hu Guang frowned, thought about it seriously, and said, "This sentence makes sense."
He paused, and then began to have new questions: "Then how will future generations evaluate Hu?"
Yang Rong glanced at him and said, "This old man has already thought of it."
Hu Guang's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly: "Is that so, Mr. Yang actually helped me think of this, please tell me."
Yang Rong thought about it and said: "Later generations will definitely say that Hu Gong is as wise as a fool. Although he does not look like a prime minister, his words and deeds hide his sharpness. He is good at showing his stupidity to others, but he can firmly occupy the position of prime minister. , His power tactics are really unfathomable, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi's generation, just in terms of power skills, they are all inferior."
The look on Hu Guang's face disappeared immediately, with flames in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "Nonsense, really nonsense, Hu believes in the wisdom of future generations, and will never abuse this old man!"
Seeing that Hu Daguang was angry, Yang Rong hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, please, Mr. Hu, don't be angry, it's all nonsense. Well, let's do our best and draw up tickets quickly. Next... is the real desire for mountains and rains." come."
Hu Guang was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "The rain is coming, what do you mean?"
Yang Rong looked at Hu Guang with a smile and said, "Mr. Hu will not think... His Majesty has spent so much effort just to frighten Xiao Xiao, right? Today is just the beginning, and the next... will be the highlight."
Hu Guang's eyes widened, and he said in shock, "You mean... a big prison is going to be established? This... this... will kill many people."
"I'm not sure." Yang Rong shook his head, and said thoughtfully: "Then it's not about Wenyuan Pavilion, it's about the factory guard."
