So after a while, after the two came out of the secret room, the Shanxi guard eunuch who was still waiting for the good news was dumbfounded. What's the matter? When I went in just now, my godfather was still looking like he was inquiring about sins, but how long has it been, how come the old hen has turned into a duck? Seeing the two people happily with their arms, they looked like old friends that they hadn’t seen for many years...
Before he understood the taste, Wang Chengen had already waved him over, and then said to him very harshly: "Zhonger, Master Yang is not afraid of hardships and governs Shanxi. This is a merit in the contemporary era. It’s a great thing to benefit from Saji! But how can you make things difficult for Master Yang for your own benefit! Fortunately, Master Yang has made it clear to me just now, otherwise, I would almost be blinded by you for my father!"
"Ah! That's not the case!" Liu Yuanzhong heard this script completely wrong... He thought you didn't come to support me? Why are you running to his side now
It’s just that he just wanted to defend, and was interrupted by Wang Chengen’s wave of his hand. Wang Chengen said very solemnly, “Zhonger, although you and I are fathers and sons, you still have to put the righteousness of the country first, so if you don’t understand it anymore. , Then don’t blame the godfather for not thinking about the love between father and son!"
Well, this is a very heavy statement, even Liu Yuanzhong has never heard him say such a heavy statement, so he couldn't believe it and looked at his godfather... After confirming that it was not a joke, this The dignified guard eunuch of Shanxi was already very frustrated, and when it was over, even his godfather could be persuaded by the other party, and no one would support him anymore.
It's just that although the guard eunuch of Shanxi is already extremely aggrieved, it is just the beginning. Wang Chengen saw that he didn't say anything, but snorted heavily: "Why? Don't you hurry up to apologize to Master Yang? Could it be that you still feel wronged? Nothing?"
"Ah? I dare not!" Okay, now Liu Yuanzhong has nothing to do. Although he is a Shanxi guard eunuch with a high position, he basically borrows Wang Chengen's power, so now that Wang Chengen has spoken, he can only Pinching his nose did so.
So this guarding eunuch who was still full of confidence just now can only lower his head, bend over, and apologize to Yang Shanlu in a low voice: "Master Yang, the miscellaneous family had offended you before, and I hope you don’t take it to your heart. what!"
Well, watching him bow his head, Yang Shanlu still feels a little refreshed... After all, this is a Shanxi guard eunuch, a big figure who can sit on the same level as a senior official like the governor of Shanxi, but now
Of course, Yang Shanlu wouldn't hold on to him, as long as he was smart in the future and didn't hinder his great cause of governance, he didn't care about this kind of character.
So Yang Shanlu nodded and accepted his apology, but since it was for this reason, Yang Shanlu felt it was better to ask some things clearly, so he pretended to ask casually: "Haha, let's just talk about it. It's fine, but the officer still has to ask one more question, did you kill the chicken in front of the special envoy's mansion?"
"Ah, no, no!" Liu Yuanzhong was so scared that he waved his hands again and again. Although he had a grudge against Yang Shanlu before, he didn't dare to recite this pot! First, the grievances between the two have not yet reached this point. Second, this kind of intimidation of a Shanxi special envoy, a senior second-grade member, is not dare to borrow him (the kind is already close to life and death, until One person has fallen completely), so he immediately swears and denies.
After Yang Shanlu heard this, he nodded. He also believed that this was not done by Liu Yuanzhong. After all, the investigations he had asked the Intelligence Department to do before also proved this. Then who was behind the black hand? However, Yang Shanlu didn't want to waste too much energy on this, and he would investigate slowly in the future, and it would always come to light.
So at this point, the two parties have almost done what they want to talk about, and then Wang Chengen's identity is still very high, and Yang Shanlu is going to set a table for him to receive the wind banquet, and then he can send off the guests.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chengen was not interested in connecting with the banquet, but proposed to go to the Shibosi Department immediately. Of course, this is also very obvious. The quality of the Shibosi Department in the past has no direct relationship with him, but now, it is related. With the bonus of 100,000 taels of silver a year, he couldn't help but not care about it!
But when Wang Chengen was so anxious that he couldn't even care about eating, Yang Shanlu didn't dare to laugh... It's really money that can make ghosts go ahead!
But Yang Shanlu is also very slow, he doesn’t need to accompany him, and Shibosi is not close here (Shibosi was built in Tianjin Port, half a month away from here), so Yang Shanlu just explained , Prince, you can just go forward without worry, when the time comes to find a deputy envoy of the Shibo Division called Zhou Chang, that's it.
So next, the inner minister was ready to leave immediately, but Yang Shanlu wouldn’t let him go so easily... You big Buddha finally went out of Beijing, if it weren’t for full use, it wouldn’t be a waste of you. Is it a good name
So after some persuasion, at noon of the same day, Yang Shanlu asked Wang Chengen to have a good meal in the best restaurant in Taiyuan City. Then in the afternoon, the two of them went to Taiyuan City together again. Yang Shanlu let him go after such a high profile appearance in the public.
But in this way, the effect is very good... Originally, many forces in Taiyuan City had learned that Wang Chengen had come to ask the crime, and many people were waiting to see his jokes! But now? Seeing the two swam their arms together, they all almost dropped their jaws! This style of painting has changed too quickly, right
It's just that this signal released clearly tells them that this has become an ally! If this still jumps out... So in this way, many forces preparing to be disadvantageous to Yang Shanlu have quietly retracted, including the person who secretly threatened Yang Shanlu (the one who killed the chicken), also died down. , At least for now.
And Yang Shanlu’s trick was really good. Not long after Wang Chengen returned, he sent him an eunuch (to help see the Shibosi) as agreed by both parties. This eunuch belonged to Wang Chengen. The confidant is still a good eunuch in the palace.
Even after the eunuch arrived, he unexpectedly replaced the original Liu Yuanzhong (after Wang Chengen went back and thought about it, he was still afraid that Liu Yuanzhong's existence would affect the cooperation between the two, so he simply transferred him away), The newcomer concurrently serves as the guard eunuch of Shanxi.
And the new Shanxi guard eunuch, his attitude towards Yang Shanlu was very respectful... After all, Wang Chengen had confessed to him when he was out of the palace.
And Yang Shanlu was very satisfied after seeing this result... Haha, sure enough, the right medicine was prescribed, and the effect was still very good! It even saved a lot of his energy (after the Shibosi Department had such a big eunuch to take care of him, he usually paid less attention, no one would dare to go to the autumn wind)
So after the matter was satisfactorily resolved, Yang Shanlu then continued to open various workshops with great fanfare to develop the economy in accordance with the established plan.
Only after half a month, Liu Hongli, his wife and chief financial officer, complained to him: "Husband, you are running out of workshop construction in this way, and you are almost running out of money!" (Since Liu Hongli is by his side, Yang Shanlu I caught her bad, let her be responsible for the money and food, and with Liu Hongli’s talents, it is more than enough to be responsible for these things)
"Are you going to run out of money?" Yang Shanlu nodded when he heard this. In fact, his staff Hu Yuanmou had already told him about this matter yesterday, and today his wife and relatives mentioned this matter to him. It's really urgent.
But Yang Shanlu had already prepared for this... Not enough money? Then it's time to kill the pig!
Because just before the secret investigation of the top ten grain shops, Yang Shanlu also found the shadows of Shanxi Shanxi merchants (that is, the merchants from Datong, Shanxi), and further discovered in the subsequent investigation that these Shanxi merchants Shanxi merchants not only participated in the rush to buy food, but also the frantic traffic tatto sold all the food to tatzi (Datong is close to the side wall, and it is very convenient to do business with tat tat).
So this makes Yang Shanlu very angry... Right now, Daming is suffering from a natural disaster, and his own food is not enough, and the people often starve to death! But these national bandits still dare to sell food to the Tartars? It is really not enough to not kill the civilians!
Of course, Yang Shanlu has been receiving this information for a while, but he has been holding back and did not do anything before, in order to investigate more carefully, to dig out a few more such national thieves... And now, it is to kill pigs. It's time!
After the decision was made, Yang Shanlu immediately issued an order: "Tell me to order Qi Zhenzong to dispatch three thousand Xuanjia troops and send troops to Datong! This time I want to let the profiteers in Datong not run away! Not even one! No mosquitoes can be let go!"
So after the guards around him took the order, they immediately released the flying pigeon pass and notified Yanghe Daodong Road and let them start.
The reaction on the East Road was still very fast. Ten days later, there was a good news from the East Road. After receiving the order from Yang Shanlu, Qi Zhenzong personally led the team... Three thousand Xuanjia troops went straight to Datong. !
And after arriving there, all the traffic arteries were blocked directly to prevent a mosquito from flying out! The next step is to follow the information provided by Yang Shanlu, follow the picture and start the arrest of those national thieves!
And the final gain was very fruitful, although in the previous year or two, Yang Shanlu had already dealt with Shanxi Shanxi merchants... Just like the infamous Shanxi Eight Great Masters, they were all taken down by Yang Shanlu that time!
But the problem is that in this era of the late Ming Dynasty, there are really many profiteers who are ignorant of their conscience in order to make money (of course there are also many now), and they are too many to kill! So only one or two years later, another big crop has sprung up in Datong! But now...
So in the end, according to Qi Zhenzong's summary report, a total of 17 merchants’ grain shops and mansions were seized this time, and a total of 20,000 shi of grain and rice were seized, as well as a number of other materials.
Of course, the most important thing, the most urgently needed money, has been fully captured nearly a million taels! In this way, the problem of shortage of funds is solved, and it can be regarded as a huge'contribution' to Shanxi by these profiteers.
And after Yang Shanlu received this report, he was still very happy... Look, so it means that in the end of this era, although the polarization is polarized, the poor are like those refugees, and they can’t even eat Guanyin Tu, but the rich ones Really rich! But now, let them play their due role.
And then, after the confiscated gold and silver were sent in batches, the big construction that had been somewhat stalled continued to flourish.
One month later, hundreds of planned workshops have all been completed, and as soon as Fang was completed, they began to show gratifying results...
