I am the carpenter king

The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has always been very busy, and the number of ships, merchants and officials are too numerous to enumerate.Visit Download txt Novel Although he had already prepared in his heart, but seeing so many people blatantly evading taxes, Emperor Tianqi's mood suddenly became very bad.

I spend all day in the palace thinking about how to make money, there are obvious ways to do it, but I can't do it, this feeling of power makes Emperor Tianqi very annoyed.The officials in the imperial court have vested interests. If they collect these taxes by themselves, they will stand on the opposite side of all officials.

The gentry, even landlords and businessmen implicated by officials, if this is really the case, Emperor Tianqi felt that his emperor might have come to an end.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked majestic, with institutions such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted.But in reality, this is not the case. The civil service group is very powerful. If one is killed, those who come up still insist on this policy.

The interests of civil servants are all the same, and it is very difficult for them to show their vested interests, because Emperor Tianqi needs the support of this group.This is not the case in other dynasties. The status of civil servants and military officials is equal, which is the result of checks and balances between the two parties.Although the Ming Dynasty also had Dongchang and Jinyiwei to check and balance civil servants, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were far from enough for reforms that really hurt muscles and bones.

Emperor Tianqi knew in his heart that he needed to cultivate an interest group, an interest group that stood with him.Even if one day, the reforms that really hurt the muscles and bones are really carried out, I will not support them alone. [

Everything is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do, maybe I am a little impatient.

Emperor Tianqi frowned and thought, a girl came in with a tea bowl, put the tea bowl on the table, and flicked the tea bowl at Emperor Tianqi.

"Are you also from Jinyiwei?" Emperor Tianqi looked at the masked girl curiously, and asked softly while holding up the tea bowl.

"Master, yes! The maidservant and sister are both members of Jinyiwei. Our adoptive father is too old to serve the court. Lord Luo will let our Jin sisters do some things!" The girl was slightly taken aback, but still Respectfully replied.This is the emperor, and Luo Sigong gave him thousands of instructions before leaving.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said with interest: "Then why do you always wear masks? Is there any tradition in this?"

"The masked maidservant and sister have been wearing it since they were very young. The adoptive father said that this mask can only be taken off after we get married!" The girl stood aside and said respectfully.

Drinking the tea in his mouth, Emperor Tianqi almost didn't choke, looked at the girl and nodded with a smile.After hearing that they were twins, Emperor Tianqi wanted to see what they looked like.Now it seems that there is no hope, Emperor Tianqi does not want to do nothing, and he will get two women first.

"My lord, we're in Jining ahead, and it's getting late. Are we staying in Jining?" Chen Lin stood outside, bowing, and said in a respectful tone.

"Okay! Right here!" Opening the door and walking out, Emperor Tianqi walked onto the deck slowly.

The pier on the shore is very lively, and many places have already been lit up, red and green, and it looks very beautiful.Because it is facing the canal, Jining has always been very prosperous, full of people, and looks quite prosperous.

"I can't see any difference anymore. Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong, has done a good job!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the shore with a smile, and his mood seemed to be better.

In the afternoon, Emperor Tianqi said that he was not happy. Although Emperor Tianqi said those important words, Yuan Keli still felt that something was wrong.Seeing what Emperor Tianqi said, Yuan Keli quickly smiled and said: "Yes! Shandong Xu Hongru rebelled, and the turmoil has passed. This is the blessing of the emperor, and this prosperous world is here!"

Glancing at Yuan Keli, the Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Yuan Aiqing, I said that during the day, you don't know how to flatter, so don't say such things in the future. You are a capable minister, help me well, this is the best horse gone."

"Minister, remember!" Yuan Keli was stunned for a while, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, he nodded his head and said.

"Okay, call a few people, let's go to Jining and see if there is anything delicious!" Seeing the boat parked on the Lairen Wharf, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile.

A group of people brought ten guards, and Dang Han of Qianhu of Jinyiwei naturally followed, together with Yuan Keli and Chen Lin, the group abandoned the boat and landed, and walked towards the city of Jining.

Jining City at night seems to be extraordinarily lively, there are endless businessmen selling goods, and the streets are full of shouts.Most of the people on the street are wandering, looking at this and that from time to time, a scene of prosperity.

Everyone is also well dressed, most of them are silk gowns, and it can be seen that they are living a good life.But this is just landed, and most of them are merchants on the canal, and they are naturally rich.

Several people carefully accompanied Emperor Tianqi, but they didn't know what to say, and finally all looked at Chen Lin.After all, this is the father-in-law in the palace, so it is more experience to serve the emperor. [

Some people of Emperor Tianqi were very eye-catching when they walked on the street. Ten well-dressed guards with knives in their hands were waiting around them. They were not ordinary people at first glance.Poppy Lai didn't dare to come up to make trouble, and the people also walked around.

"My lord, we've been on a boat all day, let's find a place to eat!" Chen Lin saluted Emperor Tianqi respectfully, and said with a flattering smile on his face.

Yuan Keli frowned slightly, and said with a bit of worry on his face: "My lord, the things outside may not be clean. Your lord is a body of ten thousand gold, so there must be no mistakes. In my humble opinion, we should go back to Let's go on board!"

Smiling and shaking his head, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Chen Lin on one side, and said briskly: "Since Chen Lin said it, there is naturally a safe place, Yuan Aiqing is too worried."

Seeing Chen Lin smiling at him, Yuan Keli was taken aback for a moment, took a step back and didn't say anything.

"Lead the way ahead!" Emperor Tianqi glared at Chen Lin angrily, and ordered with a smile.

"Yes, my lord!" Chen Lin burst into a smile, and hurriedly went to the front to lead the way, as if that was the most honorable thing.

No matter how far the group walked, they came to the door of a restaurant. The three-story restaurant looked magnificent.But Emperor Tianqi was not surprised by these, in their opinion, it was very ordinary!

Winking at a guard, Chen Lin whispered: "Let their shopkeepers come out to receive distinguished guests, and say that we have taken care of the Yingchun Building!"

Seeing Emperor Tianqi nod his head, the imperial guard strode forward with a still expression on his face.Not long after, the shopkeeper of Yingchun Building greeted him. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a mustache and the appearance of a businessman.

"Everyone, welcome to the Yingchun Building. The shopkeeper of Yingchun Building, Li Fang, please come in!" The shopkeeper saluted respectfully, and bowed to lead the way.

Emperor Tianqi and his party were taken to a single room on the third floor. Opening the door, you can see the scenery on the canal, which is obviously a very good place.In another single room next to the single room, there are only two people here, one is the shopkeeper of Yingchun Building, and the other is Chen Lin.

Li Fang, the treasurer of Yingchun Building, knelt on the ground, his face was no longer flattering, but serious.There was no sense of playfulness in the tone, but a serious voice: "I have seen Eunuch Chen!"

Gently waving his hand, Chen Lin said with a smile on his face: "Chen shopkeeper, get up! Has the news from the East Factory come over?"

Li Fang, the treasurer of the Yingchun Building, had a smile on his face. After getting up from the ground, he said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is going south to the south of the Yangtze River. The younger ones have been waiting here for a long time. I don't know what the father-in-law has ordered. The younger ones are all obeying."

The Yingchun building was originally a stronghold of the East Factory. Chen Lin came here to test whether his own research and cooperation is useful.Secondly, it is much safer to eat here.

"The young master next door, that is a very capable person. Let someone prepare the dishes he is good at. The most important thing is to be clean, our family will send someone to your kitchen!" He walked out of the single room, facing the two forbidden Wei ordered: "Go and have a look!"

Emperor Tianqi was sitting in a private room chatting nonchalantly at this time, the sound insulation measures here were not good, and Emperor Tianqi heard Chen Lin's voice just now.However, Emperor Tianqi was not focused on this, but was listening to the conversation next door.

"Brother Zhou, how many days are you going to stay in Jining this time?" A middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"It may take a few more days this time. The salt is not very good this time, and the price may not be so easy to negotiate." The voice of another person on the side was very low, but Emperor Tianqi still heard it.

Emperor Apocalypse didn't pay much attention to it, he must be an official if he dared to talk about it in such a public way.I am afraid that private salt would not have the guts, but Emperor Tianqi wanted to find a private salt dealer.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, the chickens were flying and the dogs were jumping. Emperor Tianqi walked out of the single room frowning, but saw officers and soldiers when he came out.They ran upstairs quickly and searched the individual rooms one by one. Li Fang's words on the side were of no avail. [

Not long after, a civil official slowly walked up the mountain, wearing a fifth-rank official uniform, and it seemed that he was the magistrate of Jining.It seemed that this magistrate was over 50 years old, with three strands of beard floating on his chest, with a bit of righteousness in his brows, and a bit of official authority.

I just don't know what he is doing here?When the door next to Emperor Tianqi was opened, Emperor Tianqi frowned.There was only one person left in the room, and he had already collapsed on the table, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were wide open.

Seeing this scene, there was a scream from upstairs, and the Zhizhou frowned slightly, and walked into the single room. (To be continued.
