Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 51: The Yi Nine Clan!The house copying must also be rolled up!
Tian Qi hurriedly walked out of the hall to meet Zhang Gui.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing Tianqi walking towards him with a smile, Zhang Gui also called out.

Tian Qi asked directly: "Did you really steal so much money?"

Zhang Gui nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, you can go and see for yourself, the minister has already asked someone to carry the money needed to become an official to Xiyuan."

Tian Qi really came to the place where the silver was kept, and when he saw the servants opening the boxes full of silver ingots to reveal the shining big silver ingots, he was so happy from ear to ear.

He set up the West Factory, and asked Zhang Gui to supervise the West Factory and be responsible for cracking down on profiteers. He just wanted Zhang Gui to have the power to act cheaply without being bullied by civil servants.

But Tianqi didn't expect that this expensive West Factory would be enough for the court for three years once it opened.

Suddenly, Tianqi realized that there was a serious collusion with the enemy and traitorous behavior, so he suddenly asked seriously: "How do these Shanxi merchants have so many properties?"

"Your Majesty does not know that every year after Jiannu plunders a large amount of gold and silver from Liaodong, he will buy food from Shanxi merchants. For so many years, Shanxi merchants have already become rich as an enemy. It is only because Shanxi merchants have deep roots that they have been in Zhangjiakou Fort. The local bureaucrats colluded, and many people in the imperial court covered them, so no one knew about it."

As Zhang Gui said, he took out the confession of Fan Yongdou and others: "Your Majesty, this is the confession of the profiteers, which confessed in detail how they colluded with the powerful and bureaucratic, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Tian Qi took it and looked at it seriously.

Zhang Gui continued: "In addition to more than 1000 million taels of silver, which will be escorted back to the capital in a mule cart, there are more than 600 million stones of grain, more than 50 catties of iron materials, and more than 20 catties of gunpowder. There is enough food, training and building weapons.”

"My imperial court only collects more than 400 million shi of grain every year, but these Shanxi merchants send 600 million shi to Jiannu every year! How dare the imperial court exempt the officials and gentry from all over the world, so they use all the food and taxes to nourish the enemy? There are big grain households in this world, everyone should be killed!"

Tian Qi gritted his teeth and said, he could not wait to order the killing of all the officials and gentry in the world.

Because Apocalypse knows very well that it is impossible for the common people to sell grain to Shanxi merchants, because the common people don’t have much grain to eat themselves, and the only ones who can sell surplus grain to Jiannu can only be officials and gentry, and there may be people from all over the world. princes.

"Preach the decree! The profiteers found in Xichang belong to the nine tribes of Juyi!"

Apocalypse also issued a strict decree at this time.

"According to the order!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

At this time, Zhang Gui suggested: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the nine tribes of Yi are not enough. What these profiteers have committed is not only a simple crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, but also intends to collude with the establishment of slaves, seize the Ming Dynasty, and enslave the Han people in the world." Their crime is more serious than treason, treason is treason against His Majesty, but they not only betrayed His Majesty, but also the whole Han family! Their crime is not so much treason, but traitor crime. In terms of execution, traitor The crime should be more severe than the crime of treason!"

Although Tianqi is the emperor, he is also a Han Chinese, and he can accept the national thought of the difference between Huayi and Barbarians. Now that Zhang Gui is so obedient, he quite agrees:
"You're right. Judging from their confessions, they want to help the Tatars take over my Han family. This is not only against my Zhu family, but also against the entire China!"

"In the past, the Taizu once said: expel the Tartars, restore China, legislate Chen Gang, and relieve the people, so there is a great cause for the future of the founding of the country and the restoration of our Han family!"

"These profiteers now intend to let the Han family's rivers and mountains be occupied by the Tartars. They are really worse than the rebels! The rebels may be caused by official pressure, but the betrayal of China is undoubtedly broken!"

Zhang Gui was very pleased to see that Tianqi had accepted the "national thought" revealed in his words, and felt that this might make Tianqi gradually realize that the social crisis he was facing was not a crisis of one family, but a crisis of the entire Han Dynasty. family crisis, and gradually raised ZTE Daming to the height of ZTE's entire Han family Huaxia.

"Your Majesty is holy! The old minister believes that in order to warn the world's merchants, to let people know how serious the fate of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is, and to make the world's Han people begin to have the awareness that Ming's national interests are the most important, these people who betray the world should be let These people will live forever!"

"What kind of bad smell?"

Apocalypse asked suddenly.

"Those like Qin Hui who betrayed the whole world were still cast into white iron kneeling statues and cast aside by thousands of people. They should also be treated like this."

"In addition, cast their kneeling urinals so that they will be polluted by the filth of the world! The imperial court may also build public toilets in various market towns, cities and other crowded places, and use their kneeling urinals as public toilets. This will not only prevent plagues from spreading everywhere, but also let the people of the world be warned at all times, knowing that no matter how bad it is, it can't be so bad as to betray China Yanhuang!"

Zhang Gui replied.

"allow!"

After Apocalypse said, he gave Wei Zhongxian instructions: "According to Uncle Guo's plan, a new crime will be added in the punishment regulations in the future, called the crime of traitor, and those who commit the crime of traitor will be dealt with according to what Uncle Guo said. In addition, the principal offender shall not receive a lighter punishment than the treasonous offender."

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian asked himself that he was also a ruthless person, but now he had to admit that this uncle of the country was even more ruthless, and abruptly pulled out a "crime of traitor", exaggerating the seriousness of the crime committed by these people to not just betraying the family. The surname of Jiangshan.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help thinking: "In this way, those literati who have failed in their careers and official careers in our Ming Dynasty and want to go to the Tartars to seek new achievements will have to think more about the consequences of turning to barbarians as ministers."

"There must be many people's financial resources behind these profiteers. Your copying of the West Factory can be regarded as cutting off their financial resources."

Tian Qi suddenly spoke with some concern for Zhang Gui.

Zhang Guidao: "I have Your Majesty, and the support of most of the Han people like Wei Gonggong who care about the safety of the world, but I am not afraid of a small number of selfish people."

Tian Qi nodded, and looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Have you heard what Uncle Guo said? He said that you care about the safety of the world, and you are a loyal and patriotic Han Chinese."

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Slaves dare not lie to the emperor, the uncle of the country understands the slaves, and the servants are indeed what the uncle said, and they are not in harmony with the traitors who betrayed His Majesty and the Han people in the world! The slaves can't wait to eat their meat and drink their meat. blood!"

"Even you, Wei Zhongxian, care so much about the world, many people are not as good as you."

Tian Qi said another sentence.

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

"Is the servant girl's morality poor?"

"Although you have blocked their way of making money, they still dare not rebel, but they still have to hurry up and train their troops. Only when the court has enough soldiers and horses can you Xichang continue to handle such big cases and make the bigger ones behind your back. More traitors will be captured."

Tian Qi said and looked at the boxes of money again: "Fortunately, you have copied so much money, and the court has enough money for training soldiers."

As he said that, Tianqi asked Zhang Gui: "How much money do you need for training in the early stage?"

Zhang Gui replied: "About 200 million taels will be needed to rectify and expand the Beijing camp, build various ordnance and build barracks."

"I'll give you 300 million taels! If it's not enough, ask Wei Zhongxian for it!"

Tian Qi waved his hand and said.

Then, Tianqi said: "Your West Factory will also have to expand the official school in the future. On the basis of the original share of the West Factory, add another fund. Is 200 million taels enough?"

Zhang Gui replied: "Thank you Your Majesty, this should be enough!"

Tian Qi nodded: "Another one million taels will be used as a reward for you in Xichang, and I will copy more profiteers from now on!"

"According to the order!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Tian Qi laughed, and said in his heart: "It's fun to spend money like this, and it feels much more comfortable than the previous allocation of money to the outside court."

Wei Zhongxian watched with eager eyes.

After all, he only copied more than 200 million taels from the East Factory after hard work, while the first pen of the West Factory copied more than 800 million taels of cash. More than Dongchang.

This made Wei Zhongxian have to admit that, compared with Uncle Youguo, the west factory, he will be under great pressure to search his home after the east factory.

Moreover, he also knew that his emperor's distribution of money to Xichang meant that he wanted to reuse Xichang.

For this reason, Wei Zhongxian decided to roll it up. After delivering the decree, he did not return to the mansion. He called Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Yang Huan and other people from the Fusi of Dongchang Town to a meeting overnight: "Xichang copied Shanxi merchants You must know about the 800 million taels of silver entering the government, don't tell our family, you are not jealous."

As he said that, Wei Zhongxian took the initiative to ask: "Tell me, are your eyes hot?"

"Naturally hot-eyed, mother, the West Factory has kept 500 million taels for itself according to the rules, and now the emperor has added another 400 million taels for the West Factory's own use. How much is this score? The key point is that there are not many people in the West Factory right now."

Tian Ergeng clicked his tongue as he spoke.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian said: "Why, do you want to change your family? Our family can help you, now go to recognize Uncle Guo as a godfather!"

Tian Ergeng, who had already recognized Wei Zhongxian as his godfather, hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Godfather, calm down! My son doesn't mean that, but my son just thinks that he can get so much money with a small number of people in Xichang. We have so many people in Fusi in Dongchang Town , and most of them are veterans of copying houses, they should not lose face in copying houses, as long as they copy with peace of mind, they will definitely copy more than Xichang."

"That's a decent word."

Wei Zhongxian said.

"Godfather, my son also thinks that if our Dongchang really gets serious, we may not lose to his West Factory. What are a few Shanxi merchants? Can we compare with the corrupt officials in the world?"

"Let's just say that after the levy of Liao's salaries in the past few years, how many of those idiots in the Ministry of War didn't wantonly indulge in ink? I'm afraid they will all be rich! As long as you copy with peace of mind, you may not be able to surpass Xichang. My son has already got the news. Mao Wenlong, General Mao of the island, is very dissatisfied with the fact that the Ministry of War only gave him [-]% of the military salary, and intends to report it to the public."

Xu Xianchun followed suit.

"Then let him expose it! Tell him! Our family supports him and must help him deal with these corrupt officials!"

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian ordered.

"Yes!"

Xu Xianchun agreed.

Wei Zhongxian then said earnestly: "You must have snacks, don't let the emperor think that after the West Factory is established, our East Factory will be dispensable, do you understand?"

"understand!"
