My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 86 Event Fermentation
In the Fu Division of Beizhen, the interrogator was whipping people with a whip.

"Tell me, who asked you to go to Nanhai Zizhique!"

They smoked directly in the courtyard of Beizhen Fusi, with some people who had been selected for interrogation kneeling beside them.

Wei Zhongxian is quite experienced in how to deal with these ruffians.

There is no need to scrutinize those who are skinny or skinny, these are the ones who were coerced.

At a glance, you can tell that people who don't have enough to eat on weekdays don't need to be scrutinized. This kind of people are just collecting money.

The ones to be judged are those who are smooth-talking, strong-bodied, and those who are injured but have recovered. Those who are missing arms or legs are better.

The reason is simple. To be able to gather so many people, one must be eloquent and inciting.

Those who have recovered from injuries or lost their arms and legs cannot be said to be leaders, but they must have spare money.

One of the signs of human civilization is that bones are broken but healed.

Because they need to be taken care of during the recovery period from injury, this is a big burden for the population.

Although Wei Zhongxian didn't understand this truth, he knew that there must be someone behind these hooligans who could receive medical treatment after being injured.

"You can't tell he's a loyal person."

Sitting on the chair and looking at the man tied to the torture frame, Wei Zhongxian sneered.

Damn it, Dongchang finally found out a case of stealing copper coins, and he was planning to go to the emperor to show off his abilities.

As a result, this group of people made him look good to the emperor.

Needless to say, after the news spread, a large number of impeachment memorials will definitely pour into the General Affairs Department this afternoon.

"Show these people your Jin Yiwei's signature dishes, otherwise Jin Yiwei won't handle any major cases in more than ten years, and some people will forget your Jin Yiwei's methods."

Wei Zhongxian put the tea cup on the small table with his orchid fingers raised.

"Yes!"

The captain in Jinyi next to him waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to free him.

"Godfather."

At this time, Wei Zhongxian's godson Wei Qing came to his ear and whispered.

"Dad, there is news from Nanhaizi that the Chief of Ceremonies has just handed over two large boxes of memorials to the Emperor. Wang Tigan said that they are all for impeaching you."

"understood."

Waving his hand to signal Wei Qing to go down, Wei Zhongxian's face suddenly darkened.

"Let's torture together, the Za family is in a hurry."

"Crackling!"

Become a desktop cleaning master and sweep away all the memorials on the table.

Looking at the book "Can't compete with the people for profit" left on the table, Zhu Youxiao's face dropped with a gloomy expression.

All memorials, although the Supervisor of Ceremonies will classify them, make a classification book, and then send them to him.

But no matter what he writes, Zhu Youxiao will take the time to read it.

What made Zhu Youxiao angry was the reaction speed of the foreign court.

There was a public visit only this morning, and the memorial was delivered in the afternoon.

There is no collusion, and I don’t even believe it.

Picking up the list compiled by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhu Youxiao read it carefully.

Very good, there are no nobles, the nobles are all training at Wu Luyuan.

Those who wrote the letter were all officials and officials of Shuntian Prefecture.

Then he handed the summarized booklet to Liu Shimin.

"Give the list to Wei Zhongxian and see who among these people is involved."

"The slaves obey the order."

Hearing this, Liu Shimin took the roster and walked out quickly without daring to neglect it.

Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were dark, and he was not worried at all about whether handing over Wei Zhongxian's list to Wei Zhongxian would lead to some unjust case.He asked people to acquire mines and build new arsenals. His intention was very clear, and he wanted to rectify the weapons foundry industry.

Anyone who dares to write to the emperor at this time and say that he cannot compete with the people for interests is either an unclean person or a fool who cannot see the general trend clearly.

Ming Dynasty did not need such officials.

"Have you heard that there is a public quarry at Beihongmen, and Jin Yiwei directly suppressed it."

Just when Zhu Youxiao was angry, two young men, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao, took advantage of the opportunity to receive food and got together.

"heard."

Sun Chuanting nodded, handed the sword at his waist to his attendant, and took a careful look around.

"I sent someone to inquire about it. It is said that it is a miner from Xishan. It is said that it was because the eunuch named Wei Zhongxian purchased the coal mine and robbed people of their wealth."

"real or fake?"

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao was a little surprised.

"Isn't the Emperor very strict with those eunuchs? That one named Wei doesn't want to live anymore, how dare he do this?"

"I went to the iron mines in Shijingshan yesterday to recruit soldiers."

Kicking a small stone away, Sun Chuanting looked at Cao Wen and said.

"I heard that Eunuch Wei brought the money to buy it. He gave the money, not robbed it."

"Then this is the Beihongmen."

Sun Chuanting is quite familiar with this routine.

When he was in office in Shangqiu, whenever he wanted to do something, people would come to the county government gate to petition to prevent the magistrate from doing anything.

"I estimate that Eunuch Wei's mining is the emperor's wish."

After gesturing in the direction of the old Yamen, Sun Chuanting gave an order to Cao Wen.

"When I was recruiting troops in Shijingshan, there was not only someone named Zhao Shuang or something there who was integrating the mines, but I also met the eunuch from the Military War Bureau, where they were planning to build a factory and an Ordnance Bureau. Woolen cloth."

Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao took their horses and strolled.

"I made some calculations out of curiosity. Do the people with high prices in the capital know how much a kilogram is?"

"How many?"

"One hundred pounds of wrought iron, three taels of silver."

Sun Chuanting said, took out a notebook from his chest, opened it and gave it to Cao Wenzhao.

"But the new miners I recruited were only given three coins for digging out one hundred kilograms of iron ore."

"The excavated iron ore is smelted into pig iron. One hundred kilograms of iron ore can produce forty kilograms of iron."

"Not counting transportation costs, those merchants can earn nearly two taels of silver from one hundred kilograms of iron."

"Good guy, are the benefits so generous?"

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao was a little surprised.

He never expected that the iron seller could make so much money.

"These days, the emperor has been asking people to get new firearms to be distributed to the armies. Moreover, the salary of our two guards comes from the internal funds, but how much money can the internal funds provide?"

Putting the account he had settled into his chest again, Sun Chuanting continued.

"I guess the emperor asked Eunuch Wei to purchase the iron ore himself after seeing the price of iron on the market being so high. After all, it's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."

"If we spend too much money to buy iron, where will the salary of our two guards come from?"

"Makes sense."

Nodding, Cao Wenzhao deeply agreed with Sun Chuanting's words.

During these days in Nanhaizi, Cao Wenzhao's most profound feeling was that his brothers were rich.

Take his hired servants as an example. The money they get now is more than what he used to get when he relied on an establishment of 500 to support 50 people.

"The Holy Emperor is here, and you and I must train our troops diligently for His Majesty, but we must not fail to live up to His Majesty's will."
