Chapter 217 Is Yuan Fu scary, or His Majesty? This is a problem
Wang Chonggu has been paying attention to this matter. As long as he is interested, he can always find out some inextricable information. Soon he discovered that someone had indeed stocked up coal in advance. It was a large amount of coal in advance, not in advance. It is important to start hoarding coal only after the Meishikou fire.
If we say that we are hoarding coal after the fire, it is understandable that we are optimistic about the short-term growth of coal, but it is particularly strange to suddenly buy in large quantities before the fire. Of course, it may be because of the heavy snow, and merchants who are already dependent on the road are still Choose past experience to stock up on coal.
Wang Chonggu decided to take another look. His most important task was to ensure the supply of coal to Gyeonggi. This was the first priority.
So no matter how good Wang Qian’s idea is, Wang Chonggu will decide according to the situation. If the price of coal is too high and people freeze to death in the snow, Wang Chonggu, a minister who amasses profits, will be impeached again.
Zhu Yijun appointed Zhao Mengyou to cooperate with the chief commander to supervise the matter. Zhu Yijun still did not believe that it was a natural disaster. Meishikou had existed for nearly two hundred years. Although there had been fires, it had never been so strange. Zhao Mengyou led Tiqi and Huofu were cleaning up the fire scene, hoping to find some clues, while Luo Sigong began to investigate undercover.
His Majesty once said that when investigating a case, the people have all the clues.
Luo Sigong is very young, and he has made a lot of progress during his visits. He rarely regards this child as a minion of the court. Most of them think that this child is a noble son who is curious about whether he can make money after the fire.
Zhu Yijun did not expect Luo Sigong to be able to get things done, he just wanted to accumulate some experience in handling cases.
While many lines were going on, Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, asked for an audience again. Zhu Yijun met Xu Wenbi in the side hall of Wenhua Palace, and Xu Wenbi held the culprit.
As a top power tycoon, this time he heard the news and focused on a very small area, the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty.
The Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty is a hereditary and irreplaceable lord. This group has never given credit to the emperor's relatives.
During the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao personally issued an order to kill Ouyang Lun, a prince-in-law and captain. Ouyang Lun had been seeking death. Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him several times. Ouyang Lun refused to change his habit and was beheaded in public. During the Yongle period, the prince-in-law Wang Ning was convicted for building ships without authorization and going to sea to trade with the Japanese country. In the Xuande, Zhengtong, and Jingtai years, the prince-in-law Zhao Hui relied on his seniority to do evil and was impeached many times.
The main reason why Xu Wenbi came to the palace to talk about this matter was because according to the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, if the emperor's relatives commit crimes, the successor will make his own decision. The meetings of relatives, and more importantly, the meetings with the kings outside and the relatives in Beijing, are all taken from the superior.
The royal family and relatives want to discuss your honor.
According to the scope defined by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's relatives, the government's government, and the foreign court had no right to inspect and handle the matter. Only the emperor personally handled the matter.
“Didn’t the prince-in-law, the prince-in-law, be classified as a super-ranked one by his grandfather in the ninth year of Jiajing, as the fifth-grade official?” Zhu Yijun read the records of Emperor Shizongsu and clearly saw the clear text, because there were many princes-in-law and prince-in-law. If they break the law, the Taoist master will not tolerate them. Not only will he punish them severely, but he will also directly cut down the prince consort, who is above the earl, to the rank of fifth rank.
Xu Wenbi said quite accurately: "But the Prince Consort is still a relative of the emperor, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have no right to interfere with the matter."
Because of the Jingnan incident. After Xuande, the prince-in-law and the harem were not allowed to be the homes of powerful gentry.
Many of the relatives were not even literate. In order to educate the relatives, during the Xuanzong Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty specially asked people to write a book "The Imperial Wife's Stories".
This book contains 43 relatives from all over the generations who were able to do good deeds, including Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who were role models for being humble and successful despite their great achievements and were famous for future generations. There were also 36 people who were able to do bad deeds, including Wang Mang and Liang Ji. As well as Han Yuzhou and other negative examples who did not end well because of their interference in politics.
I just hope that my relatives will choose what is good, practice it with heart and deeds, and share endless wealth.
However, in the end, this wish came true. It would be better if Ming's relatives did not cause trouble, and they could not help the emperor at all.
"Only Tiqi from Jinyiwei and Fanzi from Dongchang can restrain them, right?" Zhu Yijun understood what Xu Wenbi meant. The outer court did not have the power to restrain the foreign relatives, and the ministers in the DPRK had no way to investigate the foreign relatives. , even if Wang Chonggu found the culprit, he could only report it to the emperor for judgment.
"Yes." Seeing that what he wanted to say had been explained clearly, Xu Wenbi bowed his head and left the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
He is here to remind His Majesty to be careful about who you help.
The Ming Dynasty’s martial arts had already begun to fail, so Xu Wenbi told His Majesty some of the things he knew to prevent the little emperor from suffering a loss.
Zhu Yijun took out a volume of the Ming Dynasty Huidian. After completing one volume, he sent one to the emperor.
The Ming Dynasty Conference is a tool for governing the country written by Zhang Juzheng to the young emperor. If you encounter something you don’t understand, you can read it and sort out the various decrees from the Hongwu period to the Longqing period, and tell them Little emperor, why did you do this in the first place?
The main content of the volume in his hand is the life of the relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Jiajing's reign, Taoist Master issued an order to allow relatives to trade with merchants, but they were not allowed to prey on the common people.
The foreign relatives’ trade mainly focused on several aspects.
The first is to operate a store, a shop, which is mainly for the residence of merchants; a warehouse is a warehouse, a place for merchants to accumulate goods; a shop is a shop, which operates and sells various commodities; It is an intermediary agency for commodity transactions, not a tooth shop for people.
This started from Xuanzong. In the second year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong gave the Huangshundian District of the original Tengfu under the Ministry of Household Affairs to his uncle Pengcheng Bo Zhang Yong.
In the second year of Jingtai, Wang Ying, the father of Queen Wang, the first wife of Emperor Jingtai, asked for Baoyuan Store for daily needs. Emperor Jingtai refused, and also inspected all official stores and warehouses, and surveyed After actual registration, the official will collect the profits and use them as military pay.
During the Tianshun period, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly rewarded the family members of the Empress Dowager Sun. By the time of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, all the relatives of the Empress Dowager Sun and the Huichang Marquis Mansion were confiscated by the established emperor Liu Jin and turned into an imperial village.
During the Hongzhi period, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty granted more than 143 stores to Queen Zhang’s mother, the Jin family. Queen Zhang’s father and younger brother even got the coveted Heyuan store and Baoyuan store. Wait, there were more than 500 places. During the Jiajing period, they were all confiscated by the Taoist priests and turned into his own small treasury.
In the ninth year of Jiajing, the Taoist priest directly organized a large-scale reform, and the cabinet issued a Taoist memorial: begging generals inside and outside the capital, powerful people who want rural shops and houses, and those who get it unjustly will be fined and confiscated. At that time, Zhang Cong, the assistant minister of the cabinet, also said this, and it was difficult to do anything.
Master Dao did it abruptly.
The reason why Emperor Jiajing was so determined to punish his relatives was that these guys went too far.
Zhang Cong reported that the relatives of the five cities were not allowed to bring earthworks and stones to the capital. If someone's house collapsed and the storefront collapsed, they could not repair it, so they could only sell the land deed to the relatives. The business of the collapsed storehouse would cause The extremely bad influence caused Emperor Jiajing to become furious and began to investigate the matter.
Issuing an edict: The royal family members took advantage of the fishermen and were punished in the law office. According to the imperial edict, ministers who are close to the country should study, obey etiquette, and follow the official constitution.
Before he was assassinated by the palace maid, Master Dao had been working hard to cheer up, and he could definitely be called a wise king. Even the picky Zhao Zhenji did not scold Master Dao for his respect for Taoism, but just hoped that Master Dao would not indulge too much.
During the Wanli period, Empress Dowager Li held the power to review memorials in the Qianqing Palace. During the six years, she did not give Wu Qingbo's family a shop or shop. This made Wu Qingbo and Li Wei often complain that his daughter had already She is the queen mother, but she has no close relationship with her.
The second method of profit is mainly long-distance trafficking, such as Pengcheng Bo Zhang Jin, Qingyun Bo Zhou Shou, etc., who have illegally used the government's water horse station, water transport channels, horse and express ships for generations. Tools for personal gain.
The third way to make money is loan sharking. The biggest cause of trouble was Sun Zhong, the grandfather of Ming Yingzong, Huichang Bo. He ordered his family member Han Xing to usurch rice money everywhere and talk about official relations in the DPRK. As a result, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty especially pardoned him in memory of his loyal relatives;
In the Chenghua period, Sun Zhong's son Sun Jizong took control of the reorganized Jingying and even put usury money in the Jingying. In 1988, the military department reported to Zhang Yi in an eccentric manner: The family of Xun Qi, together with people in the market, lent money to the Beijing camp in order to harm the soldiers. Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty was furious and severely reprimanded Sun Jizong, who was in charge of the military power of his relatives, and took away Sun Jizong of military power.
The fourth way to make money is to collect money and food, including Neiku cloth flowers, jewelry purchases, etc. For example, during the Longqing period of Wu Qingbo, Li Wei collected cloth flowers from the old Beijing camp. Because they were too thin, the sergeants were too big Wow, Emperor Longqing issued a strict order not to accept Wu Qingbo again. In the fourth year of Wanli, Wu Qingbo asked to accept him again, but he was scolded by Empress Dowager Li.
The fifth type is mining coal in Xishan, and the sixth type is selling salt.
Coal mining in Xishan is ongoing, and selling salt is also one of the reasons for the corruption of the Ming Salt Law.
Zhang Juzheng probably found six ways to make huge profits from his past experience, and analyzed the common points of these six types of transactions.
The first thing in common is that the relatives never come forward in person, but leave it to family members and servants. Once something happens, the relatives will go to the emperor and cry, saying that they are all servants recruited under the guise of the family. Not knowing this, I asked the emperor for forgiveness. Due to the kindness of my relatives, I had no choice but to forgive, and a fixed set of gameplay was formed.
When Zhang Juzheng talked about this issue, he also specifically praised His Majesty Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, for his inspiration. Last time when the Imperial College released loan sharks, Xu Wenbi’s reason was that he had a cunning pretext, and then he also I stopped doing this business. When I came to prepare for the establishment of the Xishan Coal Bureau, I took out my own kiln and waited for the dividends.
The sale of kilns and wells is illegal. In Xishan, because of the imperial mausoleum, kilns are opened to sell coal, mountains are cut to sell stones, factories are set up to burn ashes, and bricks are taken from soil. It is harmful to Feng Shui. There are people who open kilns and cut mountains If the emperor really makes up his mind to impose the ban, then confiscating it will be in vain.
The second common point is that they seek to protect the imperial power, refuse to pay taxes, and suffer losses from state taxes. The involvement of foreign relatives is prohibited by the imperial court. The goods coming and going are not taxed at all, and they pay all the merchants' commercial taxes. , the national curriculum suffered a huge loss.
It is absolutely impossible not to pay taxes in Ming Dynasty!
How embarrassing is my relative?
In order to compete for profit, in September of the ninth year of Hongzhi, Changning Bo Zhou Yu and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, two relatives, fought for a cart of coal fuel at the feet of the emperor, under the Beijing chariot, in the bustling city. After fighting, he was impeached by General Xian Tu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and others, asking Emperor Xiaozong if he would just ignore it!
Words: The two families of Changning Bo Zhou Yu and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling fought over trivial matters, gathered people to fight, and made noise in the city. They lived in the same house because they were angry because of their daily competition for market profits. If you touch it, you will become an enemy, you will lose the ability to watch, and it will damage the prestige of the court. When the emperor hears this, he would rather not take action?
Ming Xiaozong really didn't move.
One was the second brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the other was his wife's younger brother. Ming Xiaozong could only ask Yousi to tell the truth, and Yousi made a report, but Ming Xiaozong kept putting off doing anything and letting it go.
Zhu Yijun held the memorial in his hand, frowning, waiting for the progress of the matter.
The first person to report back was Zhao Mengyou.
"Your Majesty, we have found the person who set the fire. This person is the great-grandson of Zhou Yu, the uncle of Chang Ning. His name is Zhou Shichen. During the Jiajing period, his relatives were expelled from the imperial family. He descended on the uncle of Chang Ning and became the commander of the Jin Yiwei. In Zhou Shichen's generation, even He was unable to take command, and he was always idle. Someone promised him a large price, and Zhou Shichen was already angry. He took a jade pendant from him at the scene of the fire and then pursued it." Zhao Mengyou reported in detail what he had done.
The arsonist Zhou Shichen was identified not just by a jade ornament left at the place where the fire started. Neighbors also testified that he left sneakily that night, that he bought a lot of oil at the oil store, and that he was there. The huge sum of money owed by the gambling house.
"Catch him and interrogate him carefully." Zhu Yijun's expression cheered up. Tiqi was really effective in his work. It only took two days to find the person. After Zhu Yijun read the file, the crime The motive is clear, the criminal evidence forms a complete chain of evidence, and the evidence is irrefutable.
Zhao Mengyou frowned and said: "When I arrived with Tiqi, Zhou Shichen was already dead. It was said that thieves broke in, killed Zhou Shichen and escaped. When I arrived, I happened to meet Zhou Shichen's maid. He Hua and Lu Jin, the butcher on the street, hid under the bed when they were caught. They said they were afraid of the officers and soldiers, so they hid. "
"I am half a day late, please punish me."
The death of Zhou Shichen further confirmed that he was the murderer of the arson case. Tiqi's close pursuit put great pressure on the mastermind who knew the news, so he simply stopped doing anything and killed people to silence him. "The speed of your investigation is already amazing, but the other party is cruel and ruthless." Zhu Yijun would not think that Zhao Mengyou was incompetent. It took two days to find the culprit in this arson case. This can already be called a genius detective. And he's the kind of detective who can't be found even with a lantern.
Zhu Yijun very much recognized Zhao Mengyou's ability to do things. He could only say that the ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark were indeed ruthless.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty." Zhao Mengyou was also under a lot of pressure. The fire at Meishikou caused many casualties and had a very bad impact. In order to track down the murderer, all 600 cavalrymen have been sent out, looking for clues everywhere and using various methods. In this way, the murderer was finally identified, but the criminal was still killed.
"What does Tishuai think of this matter?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Someone must have instigated Zhou Shichen. I found a large number of silver ingots in his home, most of which were Japanese silver. Zhou Shichen's death was definitely the work of a gangster." Zhao Mengyou said with great certainty that Zhou Shichen was a lost man. Ordinary people who inherited the title and were addicted to gambling found it difficult to get access to things like Japanese silver. Whoever gave the Japanese silver would find out the real culprit.
We can be sure that it is Japanese silver because the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen has a way of detecting silver routes. This Japanese silver is rich in sulfur, has a smell, and is yellow and black, which makes it easy to shrink. The scope of inspection is over.
"Continue to pursue. As long as there is action, there will be clues. Just continue to pursue." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
While Zhao Mengyou continued to exert his efforts, the case changed again. Weng Dali, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice who was responsible for supervising the murder case of Zhou Shichen, reported that Zhou Shichen's maid Hehua and the butcher Lu Jintong had been friends for a long time, maybe they were They conspired to kill Zhou Shichen for Zhou Shichen's family property.
Zhu Yijun kept clapping the memorial in his hand.
When Zhao Mengyou presented himself, he had already said that Zhou Shichen died very neatly. Someone knocked on the door, Zhou Shichen opened the door, and stabbed into the heart and lungs, killing him immediately. All the characteristics showed that he was definitely a great evil man with many crimes. What the butcher Lu Jin did was that he didn’t have the courage, let alone the skills.
There is a big difference between killing pigs and killing people, and the psychological burden is also completely different.
Weng Dali's argument makes sense in theory. It is relatively common for collusion to murder people, and the maid and the butcher are indeed collaborating.
Zhao Mengyou completely disagreed with the direction of the Criminal Department in solving the case and chose to pursue the murderer. Soon a criminal named Zhu Guocheng came into Zhao Mengyou's sight. After confirming that this person had escaped, he immediately dispatched Tiqi gave chase and left.
Zhu Guocheng is a pseudonym, nicknamed Mr. Zhu. He is actually a criminal. He was born in Shandong and has several lives in his hands. The court has been pursuing him for several years. Zhu Guocheng brought a total of three subordinates to Beijing this time. Zhao Mengyou First capture one of them, and then follow the clues to arrest Zhu Guocheng.
While Zhao Mengyou was working on the case quickly, Wang Chonggu was also constantly hoarding coal for blasting according to his son's advice, occasionally putting in a little coal to test the market. On December 17, the fourth year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu was After selling 120,000 kilograms of coal for blasting, I immediately realized that the price had reached its peak.
"Is father going to close the net now? Are we not going to wait any longer?" Wang Qian looked at his father's relaxed face and asked about the progress.
Wang Chonggu hummed a little tune, and when his son heard the news, he smiled and said: "Yes, if we don't close the net, your majesty will close our net."
"The coal of the people The coal has been exhausted and cannot wait any longer. Moreover, more than 10,000 kilograms of coal released today were sold to individual customers, which proves that some people are already full and cannot eat at all. They will be the ones releasing the coal tomorrow. It’s also a day for the court to put coal. "
"You can give the kiln to your majesty with peace of mind. Your majesty is doing things fairly. How can he lose his dividends? They are all relatives, so they have to cause such embarrassment. "
Wang Qian shook his head and said: "Actually, this person probably thought that this was Yuan Fu's new policy, so he resisted. Unexpectedly, it was His Majesty's intention. He thought that he could use the emperor's relatives as he had done for the past two hundred years. If you are not guilty, your majesty will be ruthless, and you may even kill your grandfather Wu Qingbo Li Wei."
Wang Qian did not feel that he was wrong in dealing with Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei had already threatened the head of the old Wang family.
Wang Qian's fierceness is completely imitated by His Majesty.
When Wu Qingbo Li Wei and Zhang Siwei were doing business, Zhang Siwei took advantage of it and went to the palace to intercede for Zhang Siwei. His Majesty shot an arrow and the arrow flew past his ear.
Empress Dowager Li did not admonish him, and Zhang Juzheng did not write a note on his sins. The emperor treated Li Wei as if nothing was wrong and rewarded Li Wei.
"According to your words, Yuan Fu's New Deal, isn't it more terrifying?" Wang Chonggu thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out how this bull ghost and snake god got such courage to dare to stand in the scorching sun. Under such circumstances, when you go out to show off in the market, you have to have a chance encounter with the emperor and Yuan Fu?
Even if it is because of poor information and not knowing His Majesty’s face, isn’t Zhang Juzheng scary?
"Is Yuan Fu scary, or is His Majesty scary? That's a question." Wang Qian thought about it for a long time. This seemed to be an unsolvable question.
Wang Chonggu seemed to have recalled some kind of fear, and said with a pale face: "No, no, no, it's the most terrifying thing in total."
At the moment, the emperor supported and contradicted the statement , Zhang Juzheng under the blessing of public and private theory, even without these blessings, Zhang Juzheng is scary enough. When the combination of punches hit Wang Chonggu, Wang Chonggu really thought that he was going to die tomorrow.
When there is no gap between the emperor and Yuan Fu, just do things obediently. This is the best choice, and there is an official position and honor. The key is to make more than before and be more secure than before.
"I'm going to Qian'an Bo Mansion, and I have to ask Qi Shuai tomorrow. Your Majesty asked Qi Shuai to set up an infantry camp in Beijing, and cooperate with the six hundred cavalry to help put coal to prevent anyone from causing trouble." Wang Chonggu didn't say much anymore. Thinking, he hummed a little tune and went to find Qi Jiguang.
Qi Shuai brought an infantry battalion to Beijing. In the eyes of the courtiers, there was no problem at all. The last time the emperor went from inspecting the military horses on the fifth day to conducting daily military horse parades, Li Rusong led an infantry battalion into the capital to serve as His Majesty's advance guard.
But the courtiers were frightened.
If Qi Jiguang cooperates with Zhang Juzheng in the rebellion, he will definitely be killed in a river of blood. If Qi Jiguang does not cooperate with Zhang Juzheng in the rebellion, it will be even more difficult.
As a result, Zhang Juzheng helped the little emperor mount his horse and completed the ceremony happily.
The sun shines brightly in the early morning of the next day. The negative effects of the Meishikou fire in the capital have slowly emerged. The price of coal has risen to 200 cents per catty. People in the outer city have begun to run out of food in their homes. The morning bell is ringing. At that time, coal was finally available at Meishikou, but the price was two hundred and ten cents per catty.
But the city gate opened, and side-chariots without artillery began to enter the city. The cars were all filled with coal. There was a sign on each car, eight coins per catty. These side-chariots It was Wang Chonggu who invited foreign aid. He was afraid that the centralized brokers and compradors would not buy his cheap coal and let the sergeants from the Beijing camp sell it on his behalf.
Eight Wen per pound, a large amount to fill your stomach.
Zhu Yijun stood on the Wenhua Tower, looking around with a telescope to see the chariots entering the city, and even asked Wang Yaozhuo to watch the fun together.
"Report to the emperor and rescue the head of Guizhou." Zhu Yijun sat on the Taishi chair in Wenhua Building, with the morning sun shining brightly on his face.
The capital began to dump coal. The captains of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division did not dare to intercept the Beijing troops entering the city and walked through the streets and alleys. This allowed the coal to go directly into the homes of the people.
"Your Majesty, Tishuai is requesting an audience." Zhang Hong and Xiao Huangmen whispered a few words, bowed their heads and said.
"Xuan."
"Your Majesty, the traitor Zhu Guocheng has confessed that it was the consort Xu Congcheng who did it. I ask your Majesty to issue an edict to arrest him." Zhao Mengyou said straightforwardly.
The smile on Zhu Yijun's face became even stronger after hearing this. He heard that Zhu Guocheng was arrested last night, and the results were announced today. The punishment of five poisons at Fusi Yamen in Beizhen is definitely not something ordinary people can withstand. You don't even need to use the punishment of five poisons. As long as you take a tour of the Jiecuyuan, 99% of the people will explain everything directly.
On December 18th, the fourth year of Wanli, after more than ten days of investigation, the person behind the case has been identified.
Zhu Yijun took out the edict from Zhang Hong. He only needed to fill in his name. He filled in Xu Congcheng's name and said: "Well, very good! I'm very happy! Go get the person quickly, don't let him go. He committed suicide. "
Zhu Yijun took out another edict that he had prepared a long time ago. This is the edict for the Ministry of Punishment to issue. Tiqi's handling of the yellow paper case is a kind of harm to Tishuai Zhao Mengyou. .
"I am very disciplined! I don't handle white paper cases or yellow paper cases, I only handle solid cases. I personally killed Chen Youren, and I was authorized by the Ministry of Punishment!" Zhu Yijun handed over the edict. I gave it to Zhang Hong and asked him to go to the Ministry of Punishment to get the driving sticker.
The procedures are very complete.
At this time, everyone in the Xu family did not dare to speak loudly, and even stepped very softly, because the head of the family, Xu Congcheng, was smashing things. Xu Congcheng also had to put coal today. He did not have a side chariot. But he has a comprador broker.
But starting from this morning, the market was completely saturated with coal from Guanying in Meishikou.
All the merchants who hoard coal will be in bad luck. The coal they hoard at a high price is worthless, and there are still 3,000 soldiers in the city, so there is no room for any conspiracy.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, where did Wang Chonggu get so much coal to explode! Heavy snow blocked the road for more than ten days, and he put coal every day, where did he get so much coal!" Xu Chongcheng's face turned red and his face was ferocious. Roaring angrily, he still can't believe that the city has actually been filled with cheap coal.
This time the loss exceeded 500,000 silver, and all his belongings over the years were lost.
"Never sell, wait! Wait, I don't believe that Wang Chonggu really has so much coal that can fill the needs of the entire capital!" Xu Congcheng forced himself to calm down, he was sure that Wang Chonggu would not have enough The coal bombing was just a way to create the illusion that there was no shortage of coal bombing in the capital.
As long as you can keep your composure, even if you can't make a lot of money and lose a little money, it's okay.
"Master, there is no limit to the coal in the sidecar. Anyone can buy it..." The steward carefully reminded Xu Congcheng and whispered: "Wang Chonggu has prepared 300 million kilograms of coal, which is enough."
"How much?! Xishan Coal Bureau has just been established less than a month ago, where did so much coal come from!" Xu Congcheng's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.
"After taking over the Xishan Coal Bureau, Da Sikou transported a lot of coal from Shanxi to Beijing. Shanxi has a lot of coal." The steward finally told the complete story he heard.
In the process of preparing for the establishment of Xishan Coal Bureau, Wang Chonggu transported a lot of coal from Shanxi to Beijing, and coupled with the mining of Xishan Coal Bureau, he saved so much.
"Ah? Oh." Xu Congcheng frowned, remembering that Wang Chonggu was from Shanxi and one of the core figures of the Jin Party. Even after the elderly Ge Shouli took office, Wang Chonggu was the leader of the Jin Party. Wang Chonggu had this network and was able to transport so much coal. Blast into Beijing.
Xu Congcheng's eyes grew wider and wider, and suddenly his feet gave way and he collapsed on the ground.
All the savings were destroyed in one fell swoop.
The porter hurried in and said in horror: "Sir, master! Something bad has happened. Zhao Mengyou, the commander-in-chief, and Weng Dali, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, surrounded the Xu Mansion with two hundred cavalry. They have already arrived. The office is here!”
Weng Dali is here to deliver driving stickers, not to obstruct the handling of the case.
If we expand on the story of relatives seeking huge profits, we can talk about it for several days and nights. There are a few outrageous things selected in the book. The relatives of the Ming Dynasty are not very reliable. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! !
