The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 588
Usury is the fastest way to get money.

In the noble class, it is actually no secret for a long time.

As long as you reveal your identity, someone will naturally give you shares.

You don't need anything else, just settle it when something goes wrong.

The circle of the capital, right? It’s not big, it’s not small.

There are not so many people who can reach the upper level.

Those who put loan sharks below, as long as they catch up with the ones above, they are unscrupulous.

Regarding these matters, it has long been no secret, and most people are very clear in their hearts.

Those who do loan sharking business all know the rules, but if they can't be provoked, they will naturally not easily provoke them.

Only those who can handle it will be persecuted.

Among them, the main victims are actually businessmen.

The capital is so big, how much money ordinary people can have, it is the kind of people who get rich overnight, or suddenly get rich, that is the goal of these people.

There are also those who gamble on the top, stay in the casino and don't want to move, and take money as they go.

Naturally, if you really messed with someone you shouldn't, it's normal to make an apology and write it off.

It's too easy and convenient to get money, which makes many high-ranking officials have this idea.

What does the life and death of ordinary people and lowly businessmen have to do with them.

If one person earns it, the second person he sees naturally wants to earn it too.

So inexplicably, a huge network of relationships has been achieved.

"Jiang Yu, tell me, are there any people in the imperial court who are not engaged in the business of usury?"

Zhu Ying looked at the list of the two eunuchs and suddenly laughed.

Eunuchs themselves prefer money, which is quite natural.

Among the eunuchs throughout the ages, which one is not greedy for money.

They no longer have any other desires, even power has to come after money.

This has a lot to do with the reason why they grew up in a poor family. If the family conditions are good, it is not worth sending them to the palace to become eunuchs.

When I was young, I was afraid of being poor, and I didn't have any desires between men and women, so naturally it was all about money.

Loyalty is loyalty, but does it conflict with greed for money? It doesn't seem to conflict.

In this circle of eunuchs, if you want to climb up, but you don't have any money to pay your respects, why should you go up.

To put it another way, the two biggest eunuchs in the palace have also joined in the usury business.

What about Jin Yiwei?

When Jiang Yu heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant, and hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know whether he should tell the truth or choose to hide it.

In just half a breath, Jiang Yu fell to his knees on the ground: "Your Highness, I have also participated in it."

Zhu Ying put down the file in her hand, looked at Jiang Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "It's been dealt with cleanly?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "The minister has already dealt with it."

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "It's quite quick to start, as expected to be able to reach the position of the leader of Jinyiwei."

"I thought you would lie to me, but I didn't expect you to be more honest."

Jiang Yu broke into a cold sweat.

In fact, just now, he did have the idea of ​​concealing it.

He has already dealt with the hands and tails here very cleanly.

Those who came into contact with him and did usury business for him were all killed in the prison immediately.

From the point of view of ordinary people, it seems that so many people have participated, and there is a feeling that the law does not blame the public.

But who is in charge now, that is Emperor Hongwu.

What is His Majesty's best at doing, can Jiang Yu not know.

That is to kill!

One kills one, and one hundred kills one hundred.

It doesn't matter if there are 1000 people or 1 people.

They are all killed!

It doesn't matter what your status is, it doesn't matter what your status is, as long as it touches the interests of the royal family, it will be killed.

The previous three major cases include the assassination case on His Highness the Grandson's side.

Which kills less.

Everyone who is attached to it must die.

I don't know how many people were involved.

Some of them didn't even understand things, so they were still implicated.

It was precisely because he knew that Jiang Yu couldn't gamble with his own life, so he got rid of all the people first.

However, when His Royal Highness asked the question just now, he knew that he couldn't hide it.

So in the end I chose to answer honestly.

"The guilty minister dare not."

Jiang Yu's head hit the cold floor with a thumping sound.

No matter how great his status is, he is nothing more than an ant in front of His Highness the Grandson.

Just one sentence can make him die now.

"Get up, I didn't say what to do with you."

"However, regarding this matter, you should tell me, who are the masterminds behind this scene, who dare to be so arrogant and arrogant."

Zhu Ying asked curiously.

Logically speaking, the military officers and nobles of the Ming Dynasty should all know the old man's temper. If they commit a crime, who can get half of the benefits from the old man?

Not to mention the most low-end means of making trouble, when hearing the news, even Zhu Ying felt puzzled.

Theoretically speaking, under such circumstances, anyone with a smarter mind would give up the usury business.

After all, for the honorable military officers, although the business of loan sharks is good, it does not mean everything. No one would be willing to fight against the court for loan sharks.

Now that Ming Dynasty's economy is rising rapidly, there are actually many ways to get rich, and with the reform of salary, life is not as hard as it used to be.

Who did this whole thing.

When Jiang Yu was obedient to these words, his complexion couldn't help but turned a bit livid, and also had a bit of bitter taste.

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is actually no mastermind behind this matter, it was entirely done by those businessmen who were engaged in loan shark business."

"They thought that if they made a big deal out of it, those of us who were involved would find a way to protect them, so after making some secret calculations, we came up with such a thing."

"When the sinners first heard about this, they didn't expect that they would be so courageous."

"Those like criminals, although they are also involved in loan sharks, they actually don't ask about things here on weekdays. Usually, when the time comes, they will send the money themselves."

"Most of the nobles, although they are following them and taking the profits here, they usually don't have to deal with them. They are all low-level people, and it is considered a loss of face to say a few words."

"In some honorable mansions, just look at the accounts, basically it's the butler's servants who are docking."

"When this matter got into a commotion, everyone panicked, and many people came to the guilty minister's side, hoping to get their hands clean."

With one brain, Jiang Yu confessed all the situation.

His Royal Highness Taisun is very clear, and he can see through even a little bit of lies.

As Jin Yiwei, especially the commander of Jin Yiwei, what is the most important thing.

It's not that I'm afraid of making mistakes, but that my loyalty has been questioned.

Once there is a problem with loyalty, it means that it will not last long.

He is His Majesty's personal bodyguard, and he does most of the dirty things, big and small, by himself.

When the official position is not guaranteed, the life must be kept.

Which emperor would let people who know their own stains survive after leaving their side.

The current situation does not seem to be serious, but as long as there is even the slightest crisis of trust in His Royal Highness, it will mean a crisis of death.

At this time, Jiang Yu couldn't be more nervous.

Zhu Ying glanced at the list on the desk, and asked again without reaching for it, "Your own name is definitely not on it, and you are not so stupid."

"But why did you write the names of Liu and Guo Zhong? Are you not afraid of exposing them and implicating you?"

Jiang Yu smiled wryly and replied: "Your Highness, almost all the officials who have a little relationship in the palace are involved in this matter of loan sharking outside."

"If the guilty minister doesn't write about the two father-in-laws, then no one else can write about it, and the whole palace can only not write about it."

"But this one after another, it involves too many aspects, but any random interrogation by other security departments or the five city soldiers and horses will reveal it."

"The guilty minister has to write."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu paused slightly, kowtowed and said: "The last header of this file, in fact, my name is also on it."

Jiang Yu is a smart man.

He knew that for such a big event, it was impossible to get Jin Yiwei out.

If the Jin Yiwei can't take it off, and he can't say that his butt is clean, it's better to surrender himself than to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Your Majesty really blamed him for taking his head, so that his wife and children's family behind him would not be implicated.

In the position of Commander of Jinyiwei, it is impossible to say that he will live longer. He can clearly see how the former Commander of Jinyiwei died.

In some respects, he has a lot of things, and he is not as good as his predecessor, which is more satisfying to His Majesty.

But this position is a knife, a knife for killing people for His Majesty.

When people kill a lot, the problem of the impact becomes serious, so they will naturally be replaced.

At least he now knows very well that although Mao Xiang, the former commander of Jinyiwei, was executed by His Majesty to appease public anger, his wife and children are still living relatively well, and the hereditary titles are still retained.

Mao Xiang's son is still Qianhu in Jinyiwei, and I treat him relatively well.

This is a legacy and an example.

One day I was pushed out because of certain things and lost my head, and my wife and children would be taken care of by the next Commander of Jin Yiwei.

In a way, this can be regarded as a potential rule.

Zhu Ying turned around and picked up the file, turning to the back.

Sure enough, Jiang Yu's name was on the list.

Good guy, you really wrote yourself in it, no wonder you can be the commander of Jinyiwei, with this level of loyalty, you are really trustworthy.

"Get up, this point, you really surprised me."

Being able to put herself in it when she knew she was guilty, and she just said so openly, of course Zhu Ying would not say that she would punish him specially.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Jiang Yu straightened his official hat, bowed and got up.

Zhu Ying said: "I believe in you, and I also believe in the situation you said."

"Anyway, the matter has already happened. Since it has nothing to do with you, there is no need to say that it was a storm."

"I'll burn this file later. Grandpa, I'm the one to talk about it."

"You have to explain to those nobles who participated in it, and wipe your ass clean. Now there are many ways to make money by taking the right path. There is no need to say that you will leave yourself any trouble. If you really want to, someday After tracking it down, who can still escape?"

"As for these troublemakers, it doesn't matter what their origin is, those who should be killed, those who should be ransacked."

"After so many years of usury, I must have a relatively rich net worth. Doing these wicked business is really damaging the morality."

"The whereabouts of the money have been traced carefully, don't miss it, and tell the brothers below you, don't itch your hands, don't touch things that shouldn't be touched."

"When all the money is in place, I will use it to do some practical things for the people at that time, which can be regarded as repaying Daming."

Jiang Yu hurriedly bowed and bowed: "The guilty minister respectfully obeys the order of His Royal Highness Taisun."

This storm in the capital is really a farce.

Zhu Ying thought that someone was making trouble inside, but unexpectedly it was the problem from below.

Intuit too courageous.

In fact, you can understand it when you think about it. Not everyone can see the situation clearly.

They probably thought that they could pull many officials into the water, even including eunuchs, concubines, princes and grandchildren in the palace, and even princes from all walks of life.

At first glance, this relationship network is really huge and boundless.

Strictly speaking, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was involved.

As for the internal money, Jiang Yu didn't say anything, and Zhu Ying didn't ask, but it can be clearly known that it must be considered a big head.

The internal money is the emperor's private treasury, and the eunuchs are usually in charge.

Zhu Yuanzhang usually doesn't calculate the accounts every day, and he doesn't care whether there is much money in the internal funds, but if he wants to pay, he will take it from here.

The eunuch who is in charge of internal funds is also trying to find ways to make money everywhere.

Of course, there is no way to avoid usury.

The situation is different now. It is the Daming Royal Bank, which is equivalent to taking over all the business related to loan sharks and making it a monopoly business.

It also ruins the way for others to make money.

It's just that as an emperor, as long as there is something, no one can come and grab it.

The money you robbed, I want, but life.

No matter how good the money is, if you lose your life, what will you spend it on?

After Jiang Yu received the instructions from His Royal Highness Taisun, he was also ruthless.

First, I explained to the nobles who were involved, and then the sword fell.

The nobles all applauded.

Those who have been caught in and locked up in prisons for loan sharks still arrogantly think that someone outside will come to take advantage of them.

Little did they know that the people outside were trying their best to kill them first so as to silence them.
