Chapter 619: Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

"Today, we have important matters to discuss."

Taigu County, Mingfeng Tower.

The Cao family has taken over the entire Mingfeng Building business. In addition to the members of the Taigu Business Gang, there are also wealthy businessmen with great reputations in Jinzhong.

The imperial court strictly imposed the thirteen illegal merchants of Shanxi, which led to the decline of the Qi Gang, the situation in the business community in Jinzhong changed, and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce took over.

And these people are the businessmen who have been newly promoted from all over the world and benefited the most from the last incident.

Cao Sanxi thought to himself, since he wanted to express his loyalty to the emperor, it would be better to do something big.

This major event must not only show loyalty, but also echo the effect of Zhu Xieyuan to build momentum for the Cao family.

He looked around at the rich businessmen who were already a little dissatisfied with their eyes, and there was a hot look in his eyes. After today, I, Cao, will become famous all over the world!

"Cao Sanxi, just say anything if you have something to say!" A cloth merchant with a big belly and wearing a purple silk robe jumped out first.

"Don't think that if your Taigu Merchants Gang take over the work of the Qi Gang, you will become the next Qu Jingxin."

"Don't forget that the Kang family has been killed by the court, and now 30% of the cloth business in Shanxi are in the hands of my Qi family!"

Cao Sanxi looked at him and said with a smile:

"Indeed, Qi Laosan, Kang's family has been killed by the court. Now I'm calling you here, it's not my Cao Sanxi's intention."

"It is the sacred edict conveying His Majesty's present moment. Do you dare not obey it?"

Qi Laosan suddenly became soft. He took two steps back, his eyes were circling, and trembling cry came from the crowd.

"Don't be fooled, what kind of virtue is Cao Sanxi? How can you receive the sacred edict from Your Majesty today? I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either!"

"Cao Sanxi, don't keep it there. Can you say anything at once?"

"That's right, everyone is a well-known figure everywhere, and they don't have that much time to spend with you here!"

"You are right, this is indeed not the sacred edict of Your Majesty." Cao Sanxi smiled slightly, and said when everyone was about to get into chaos:

"However, this is indeed what the Governor wants."

"The Governor was ordered by the emperor to rectify the military camps in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Now some people have been found to embezzle the fields of the garrison. Do you think this is considered His Majesty's decree?"

Anyone who embezzled the fields of the garrison would have some things to do with it.

As soon as these words were said, the merchants suddenly panicked. The next stage of panic was anger, anger for no reason.

Qi Laosan pointed at him and said, "You are scaring people there. Who doesn't know the fields of the garrisons around Taigu County. You Cao's family has already been invaded!"

"If Your Majesty is the decree to punish the traitors, I think the first person to be punished will be your Cao family!"

Cao Sanxi's face changed now, but he quickly turned back and said with a smile:

"Yes, Qi Laosan, you are right. My ancestor of the Cao family is unclear in his work. He has indeed colluded with the commander of the guards and occupied many guards."

"I am worried and deeply saddened because of this!" He changed his tone and said loudly: "And I asked you to come today to announce a news."

"I will return all the 1,452 hectares of military farmland that my Cao family has occupied for generations to the garrison!"

"It's not the case. My Cao family will invest 1.2 million taels to help poor military households everywhere survive!"

After saying this, the venue was silent for a moment, followed by a buzzing discussion.

"Old San Qi, I have set an example. Your Qi family has made a fortune earlier than me. Now the assets are several times higher than my Cao family. I am afraid that the military camps that have been occupied will not exceed two thousand hectares, right?"

Now, Qi Laosan was scared.

He was really scared. He thought the Cao family joined the Royal Chamber of Commerce just to take advantage of loopholes and become king in Taigu, but he didn't expect that Cao Sanxi had such great ambitions.

The Cao family has completely jumped onto the ship of the Imperial Party, turned around and forced others to follow them to join them, but the Qi family is not good.

Among the thirteen Shanxi merchants run by the court this time, there were Kang's family, who had been under the Qi family for 200 years and started with the cloth business in the early Ming Dynasty.

The Kang family was killed and their family gained great benefits.

He stopped when he was about to do so. This is also the reason why Qi Laosan did not enter the Royal Chamber of Commerce. But if he really followed Cao Sanxi, he would have taken himself into it.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cao San smiled happily:

"Qi Laosan, what are you thinking?"

The latter was stunned when he heard this, laughed and said, "Well, I suddenly remembered that a new batch of silk was added to my shop, and I couldn't do it without me."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly found that from when there was a team of lieutenants from the Taigu County Supervisory Office standing outside the door.

All of these lieutenants were wearing waist knives, watching Qi Laosan who was snatching the door, regardless of his identity, and just grabbed him with one trick and held him down on the spot.

At this time, Jinyiwei Qianhu Tian Ergeng was leaning against the door, showing off his embroidered spring sword that he had given him.

He walked over staggeringly and said lazily:

"The Northern Town Fushi found out that the Qi family had no king's laws. Since the beginning of Jiajing, it has embezzled 2,668 hectares of land in the garrison."

"I still want to leave? I will torture it and take it down!"

Looking at Qi Laosan who was taken down by the lieutenants of the Supervisors, everyone not only swallowed their saliva, but it turned out that the court was so simple to deal with these businessmen.

The Supervisory Department takes a charge and arrests people directly.

No matter how many lifetimes you last, how much assets you have, how many shops and semicolons you have everywhere, just grab them as soon as you say.

When they turned around and looked at each other, everyone hated and feared Cao Sanxi.

The Cao family is wearing a pair of pants with the imperial court. Today, they are very proud, but in fact they are forcing them to submit.

But now there is no other way. Everyone saw the consequences of the Qi family. As soon as Qi Laosan went out, he was taken away by the supervisor.

Those backers behind Qi's family, when they heard this news, they were afraid that they would not even dare to let go of anything.

Besides, the person arrested the people was not an ordinary local supervision department, but Tian Ergeng, one of the four thousand households. Where are the cattle of these four thousand households? The cattle are all the emperor's absolute confidants!

Needless to ask, the things the four Jinyiwei Qianhu family want to do is definitely the emperor's instruction. The person who wants to be arrested, let alone the person who wants to be escaped, because that is the person who the emperor wants to be arrested.

The person the emperor wants to capture is not useful for your great backer.

At this time, the butler of the Cao family came out, holding a booklet in his hand. Cao Sanxi stood on top and said:

"There are many garrisons that have occupied the land. Write it up. In the next few days, the supervision departments of various places will come to collect it from door to door. The first one is my Cao family."

"But you have to remember..." Cao Sanxi whined out and said with a smile:

"The man outside is not a good deal. He knows in his heart that he should not lose his life for the three hectares of five hectares of official land."

"Like the third son of Qi, the family business of several lifetimes has been returned to the court."

Hearing this, Tian Ergeng, who was outside, didn't know whether to cooperate or not, suddenly pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his hand.

With a "swish" sound, it was like cutting it on everyone's neck.
