Chapter eight hundred and first moisturizing

Then there are floods and droughts in various places. Last year's local earthquake in Shanxi and Shaanxi, large-scale droughts in the north for several consecutive years, insufficient costs on the nine sides, and frequent small-scale mutinies... But overall, the one that is worth worrying is the Donglu family.

Even if it is Donglu, no one will be worried that it can sweep the world. At least no one will think so during the Apocalypse period.

The entire Ming Dynasty looked peaceful and peaceful, and most of the country was peaceful. Not only did the taxes not decrease but also increased. The important towns on the nine sides were still guarding the capital and the north. After several defeats, Liao Town finally consolidated its defense line. In the short term, the Eastern Barbarians did not seem to have the intention and possibility of attacking again.

At this time, something like Xiang and Yusheng suddenly appeared, which made people feel strange and strange in their hearts.

A big merchant formed a local regiment training to fight against the invading Beilu. Then, due to his merits, he became the commander of the garrison. He fought with the Beilu for two consecutive years, and finally defeated the Beilu's main force and took down Guihua City?

This is something that the whole country cannot do since the Ming Dynasty...

During the Jiajing period, the Tumote tribe broke through the border wall and fought until the capital city, which made Emperor Jiajing furious and killed the Minister of War to vent his anger. After decades, he even brought the old nest of the Tumote tribe?

If there was no detailed report, I am afraid that the people in this palace would really not believe that this was a fact that they had been born.

"And there..."

Wei Zhongxian rushed over, presented the memorial with a wry smile, and turned around and stood on the side of the Emperor Jin platform.

At this moment, there was no important report from Wei Zhongxian that would not be able to come in to cause trouble. Everyone was secretly looking at the emperor, trying to see some clues from Tianqi's face.

"This is Mr. Sun's retribution." Tianqi had no obvious expression on his face, only a faint smile. He put down the memorial and said, "The war in Thirteen Mountains has been completed. The Donglu did not take any advantage. Each general used his life. He Yusheng's troops blocked the coming Donglu, saved the food and the old, weak, women and children down the mountain, rescued the people for 20,000 yuan, and are now being resettled. Mr. Sun said that He Yusheng's contributions are still quite good."

There was silence in the palace.

King Xin pinched his hand hard and bit his tongue with his teeth, reminding himself not to speak... His Highness King Xin worked very hard, and his little face turned red. He had to work very hard to prevent himself from screaming.

"He Yusheng's affairs are indeed abnormal and strange." Ye Xianggao's assistant, of course he spoke first, and said calmly: "But the court does not need to pay too much attention. He Yusheng's expansion of borders with his regiment training was originally something that the court allowed. He defeated the Northern Barbarians and Eastern Barbarians many times, which was also the right government. The court should openly admit his merits and praise his loyalty. The matter of capturing the Northern Barbarians' Guihua City depends on the next step of action. If the Northern Barbarians arouse the counterattack, cause chaos in the grassland, and threaten the border town, the court will have another measure at that time."

Tianqi frowned at first, and at the end, he nodded and praised: "The old man is really a successful country, and what he is talking about is the right way. I feel really comforted."

Gu Bingqian flashed out and said, "The Grand Secretary Ji Liao General Secretary Sun Chengzong asked to set up a car camp, and build more large chariots in the style of Heyusheng large chariots to facilitate military logistics. I think the construction should be started as soon as possible, and the silver required must be allocated as soon as possible."

"Yes." This was reported by Master Sun. Tianqi had to agree. At this time, Gu Bingqi also showed the mind and ability that a grand sect should have. Tianqi was quite happy and smiled on his face.

Gu Bingqian also said: "The Heyusheng Branches in various places are the business managers who do what they usually do and business dealings. I think the local government should pay attention to it to prevent war-torn people from causing trouble in the mainland."

Although He Yusheng's regiment training was not formal officers and soldiers or guards, he won three consecutive victories, and last year's Tuobian Baili had long been seen by those who were interested. Last year, the regiment training scale was less than 3,000 people. It was not outrageous in the Ming Dynasty's official and gentry training system. Many local garrisons were military generals who inherited from generation to generation, and they also served as local gang training. They had people from hundreds to more than 1,000 people. Zhang Han was a famous minister, and was also a great merchant and military officer of the garrison. It was not an exaggeration to train the two or three thousand people to protect the safety of the business road.

Today, it seems that He Yusheng's regiment training is definitely more than 3,000, and the people in the court are not entirely fools. The 3,000 regiment training recruits some masters on the border and moves the defense line northwards. This is not difficult to do. He went deep into the grassland to fight the Northern Lu and divided his troops to the city of Yulin. It is impossible to have more than 10,000 troops. In the Datong town of the court, there were only 80,000 soldiers, of which only had a large number of old and weak soldiers. In fact, there were only about 20,000 strong soldiers in a town. With the power of a merchant, He Yusheng can support more than 10,000 elite soldiers. This alone is enough to make the court feel thrilling.

Gu Bingqian's meaning is also very simple. From now on, the court will strictly monitor He Yusheng's people and even eliminate the development and actions of his semicolons. This is just a preliminary start. If He Yusheng's evil deeds are revealed, the semicolons and his subordinates in various places will either say "take it down" or be a powerful move? He Yusheng is already a famous big businessman with the number one name in Tianzi, claiming to be rich enough to rival a country. Just from this time more than a thousand carriages gathered in the capital, you can see how terrifying his financial resources are. Those big carriages are in the capital.

The noble eunuchs were all jealous. A good four-wheeled carriage had a shiny body and walked smoothly, without any bumps. They went out of the city to relax and sweep a tomb, and they were convenient and fast. In addition, the car body was very gorgeous and exquisitely made, and there were many precious gems inlaid with them. Even the door handles were made of sterling silver! There was also a secret lattice inside, with some small objects for use, wine, snacks, calligraphy and paintings, instruments, and pills. Which nobleman would not want to get one for such a car?

A big cart from Heyusheng is not only a symbol of financial resources, but also a symbol of status. Heyusheng's cart is not only expensive, but also limited in quantity at the beginning. People who buy big carts must not only be rich, but also have a considerable status. Having a cart from Heyusheng is not only a reflection of financial resources, but also a sufficient reflection of status.

Although such a big cart is not the kind of luxurious manned carriage, He Yusheng can dispatch as many as 1,500 vehicles at once. This kind of financial power is really shocking!

Tianqi's eyes showed deep thoughts, and after a while, he said: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have their own ways, and businessmen are also concerned with people's livelihood. This matter should be carried out slowly."

Gu Bingqian hit a small nail, but he didn't care. He bowed and retreated to the shift.

After the cabinet ministers withdrew, King Xin couldn't help but say: "Why did the emperor's brother disagree with Mr. Gu's suggestion? He Yusheng lied about the number of troops training, organized a large army, and went north with his troops. From the perspective of his brother, he not only had to investigate He Yusheng's semicolons in various places, but it was best to seize and detain his property and personnel immediately to cut off the root cause."

Tianqi smiled on his face. He had always been very patient with the emperor. He explained: "I didn't agree with Mr. Gu's words just now because the people below always tug the tiger skin as a banner. I just have to be on guard. The people below will directly seal the store and get people. He Yusheng has more than 100 branch signs in several provinces. His pig iron and iron sales are sold in several provinces. The iron and iron ware sales are extremely important. The two iron farms in Zunhua and Lingqiu have sold over 10 million kilograms a year. If Meng Lang acts below, it will have a great obstacle to the national economy and people's livelihood."

King Xin said stubbornly: "Then you can't sit back and see the money you earned to support your own soldiers. Strengthening your group training will always become a danger to the Ming Dynasty."

"This is naturally not possible." Tianqi said: "I have decided to order the Ministry of Works to stop accepting the production of Lingqiu iron from now on, and still use Fujian iron. The court will not use Heyusheng's goods for purchase. The court must imitate its large carts immediately, and it is best to support a few nobles to set up carts and horse shops."

Only then did King Xin understand that although the emperor did not agree with Gu Bingqian's proposal, it did not mean that he did nothing. Although everything was the same on the surface, he would secretly have many strict restrictions on He Yusheng. This kind of gentle breeze and drizzle, but silently, invisibly weakened He Yusheng's influence and financial resources in the north.

Even so, King Xin felt that he was not too impatient. He had always had opinions about Zhang Han. In the eyes of King Xin, many of He Yusheng's actions were completely inaccurate. In the past two years, King Xin was well-known for his dissatisfaction with He Yusheng. Many people also reported some things to him, including many provocations and false statements. This in turn confirmed King Xin's judgment. A business organization like He Yusheng was completely unlawful. Of course, Zhang Han could not be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. For such a person who was almost a traitor, King Xin felt that it was better to use thunderous means. Although this person was not from the Donglin Party, but a disciple of Wei eunuch, he had a good view of things.

Of course, King Xin didn't know that Gu Bingqian's plan was to muddle the water and take this opportunity to see if he could reach Sun Chengzong. Mao Yuanyi's breakthrough has been kept. As for Wei Zhongxian, his relationship with Zhang Han was linked by bribery. He has always been very alienated. Wei Zhongxian would not leave any affection for Zhang Han and Yusheng. If Gu Bingqian used this matter to open up the situation, Wei Zhongxian would only support him and would never be angry.

In addition, Wei eunuchs' subordinates were very jealous of He Yusheng's huge wealth accumulation. Before that, because of the traction, Zhang Han not only opened up Wei Zhongxian's joints, but also had a lot of friendship with many bigwigs and nobles in the court who had little traces of party status. In addition, it was difficult to deal with Zhang Han, so many people in the court were attracted by He Yusheng's wealth, but no one dared to attack.

It would be best if we took this opportunity to divide He Yusheng's wealth, but Tianqi was still wise and flatly rejected Gu Bingqian's proposal.

Of course, King Xin could not understand the situation. His experience was limited to the palace and the palace, and to books. The people he contacted every day were only those eunuchs, and he really had no understanding of the human nature and the sinister world.
