Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 608
Chapter 608
Just before the news about the Confucian family in Qufu and the vassal palaces in various places reached the capital, the memorials from Lu Xiangsheng and Jin Yiwei from Songjiang Prefecture arrived in the palace first.
Get rich again, and this time make a fortune!
What Zhu Youjian held in his hand was a thick album, which listed in detail what Jin Yiwei had gained from his trip to the south.
Since crossing over, Zhu Youjian first copied Chengyi Bo's Mansion and the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and then successively copied the Lianghuai Salt Transit Envoy, several nobles, and the homes of many middle- and lower-level officials. Well, all these things add up to five or six million silver, and their assets are even more numerous.
These huge amounts of wealth have strongly supported the various strategies and plans deployed by Zhu Youjian over the past few years, enabling Daming's carriage to get out of the quagmire smoothly and embark on a wide and flat road.
Now with the huge profits brought by Sihai Trading Company and Yanli every year, Zhu Youjian thought that he had become numb to wealth, but now this astonishing data in his hand has refreshed his psychological expectations and cognition, making him repeatedly Looking at the final total number, the experimenter was afraid that he might have a hallucination in his vision.
This time Jinyiwei seized a total of more than 24 million taels of cash, 14 taels of gold, more than [-] large and small ships, and more than [-] mu of land, of which [-]% were mulberry and cotton fields and [-]% were grain fields.
In addition to these materials that Zhu Youjian valued most, there were more than two hundred shops scattered in Jiangnan and the capital.
And those antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, Western treasures, etc. are even more incountable, and they need to be identified and realized before an accurate number can be obtained.
This time, Jinyiwei seized more than [-] criminals involved in the case of attacking officials. Among them, the principal criminals were the four families of Gu Lu, Zhou and Xu, and the main criminals were Songjiang Prefecture and its subordinate counties Huating County, Shanghai County, Qingpu County, Fengxian County, Lou County, and Jinshan County. , Nanhui County and other county government yamen, and the chief official of Songjiang Mansion Zuoer and others are all implicated.
Jin Yiwei confiscated more than 1 taels of gold and silver from Xie Ruyun's hometown in Huzhou, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, hundreds of antique calligraphy and paintings, four shops under his name, and more than [-] mu of land in his family was also confiscated.
The Songjiang prefecture ordered Huang Shengju to steal 6 taels of cash from his home, six shops under his name, and [-] mu of land.
More than [-] taels of cash were confiscated from Geng Yuanren's home, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture. He owned five shops and more than [-] mu of land.
Sun Jianren of the Songjiang Mansion, the same prefect, escaped the catastrophe by luck because Ding You returned home to guard the system half a year ago.
The inspectors, deputy envoys, and Qian Shi of the Subdivision of the Inspection Commissioner Division of Songjiang Prefecture were all involved in the case, and their family properties were confiscated. They obtained a total of 7 taels of silver and more than [-] mu of land.
In addition to the above-mentioned main officials, all levels of officials in Songjiang Prefecture Yamen who hold real power have received the New Year gift from the four big merchants. Therefore, Jin Yiwei judged them as accomplices and arrested these people involved in the case. The house was ransacked, and the total amount of silver taels was more than 1 taels, more than [-] shops, and more than [-] mu of land.
Although Zuo Er, the chief official of the counties under the jurisdiction of the Songjiang Prefecture, did not know about the case of attacking officials, he usually received the gifts of the four seasons from the four big merchants. People and wealth are empty, and the family property is confiscated.
It took Zhu Youjian a full half an hour to read through the details of the case, and then he put down the thick report, stood up and walked down the imperial steps, pacing and walking in the main hall of Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back. Thinking about how to handle this.
After discussing with Wen Tiren a few days ago about the strategy of gentry and gentry receiving grain together, Wen Tiren, under the instruction of Zhu Youjian, leaked this unprecedented grand plan intentionally or unintentionally, in order to test the reactions and attitudes of Beijing officials , and then make corresponding deployments based on the feedback information.
To Zhu Youjian's surprise, after the news spread, it immediately caused a huge shock in the capital.
The vast majority of officials and famous scholars who have more than the specified number of land in their homes have expressed their opposition to this, and almost all relevant personnel have discussed this matter publicly or privately, expressing dissatisfaction with Zhu Youjian in their words Very strong.
There are also quite a few juzi in the Imperial College publicly publicizing in teahouses and restaurants, preparing to petition collectively, resolutely preventing the release and implementation of this measure, and speaking disrespectfully to Zhu Youjian, and even referring to him as the same as Jie and Zhou. The Hunjun was on the same level, and he almost cursed directly.
At the time when the crowd was raging, Dongchang and Jinyiwei dispatched a large number of officials after hearing the news, and arrested the people who were clamoring in public. The captains of Jinyiwei in various yamen also severely reprimanded the officials Ever since, the turmoil subsided quickly in a short period of time.
But Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that the current calm was only on the surface. In fact, there was still an undercurrent under the water, but because they were afraid of the viciousness of the factory guards, the relevant people were waiting to see the direction of the wind.
After all, this matter is just a rumor now, and no specific plan has been made public until now, so the officials and gentry involved in the matter have adopted a temporary stance of forbearance. If they really forced this plan by themselves, it is not certain what kind of disturbance these people will cause Come on.
In the next few days, Zhu Youjian's desk was filled with inscriptions on this reform. Out of curiosity, he casually flipped through a few of them. Sure enough, all the contents were against this rumored move, but What made Zhu Youjian somewhat gratified was that the words used in these inscriptions were relatively mild, mainly based on euphemistic persuasion, and did not appear in the original book with fierce words, shouting for heaven and earth, and fighting with death if there was any disagreement.
Zhu Youjian understands that this is mainly due to his current growing prestige and the substantial increase in the treatment of officials.
That's the reason why people's mouths are short and their hands are soft.
If I had just rushed to do this when I had just crossed over and my foundation was unstable, I might have disappeared from Daming in a few days.
From the attitude of the officials, Zhu Youjian quickly came to a conclusion: as long as the operation is done properly, this matter is feasible.
Judging from the ranks of the officials in the upper class, it is basically the officials of the seventh rank to the third rank. There are almost no senior officials above the second rank, and there is not even a cabinet minister.
The fact that senior officials and ministers did not object to this matter does not mean that they agree with it in their hearts, but at least it gives Zhu Youjian room to maneuver and change.
Zhu Youjian took a silent approach to the opposition from the outside world, neither admitting nor denying it.
And the dozens of Guozijian examiners who were arrested by Jin Yiwei did not follow the usual rules for these frightened scholars after they were ordered. They just put them in prison and ignored them, leaving behind A group of regretful literati spend their days in fear.
After obtaining this unexpected wealth, Zhu Youjian became more confident, and he was going to use it to implement his plan to pay food for the gentry.
Thanks for the reward of Tianyu Zhilan Xingkong.
