Zhou Zheng went to find Tian Zhenshu. The two of them were in the Superintendent's Court, talking about something while walking.
Tian Zhenshu whispered: "Recently, the relationship between the two adults and the castration party is very tense, and the hall officer has been urged to arrange many people to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Cao Sicheng and Cao Yubian openly stabbed Wei Zhongxian in the court hall. Even if Wei Zhongxian is unable to take care of the two of them now, other castrate parties will naturally have to do something.
Cui Chengxiu was originally Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If he wants to mix sand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it should not be too easy.
Zhou Zheng looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and said, "Er Cao has been attacked badly recently, right?"
Tian Zhen said: "There are impeachment both in the court and the opposition. I heard that Jin Yiwei is looking for evidence and will send both of them to prison at any time."
Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, and wanted to arrest ordinary people into the imprisonment, but it is impossible for a Zuo Du Yushi to nod without apocalypse.
"Either you have seen something, or someone has instructed you." Zhou Zhengdao.
Tian Zhenshu glanced at Zhou Zheng, this is the second time Zhou Zheng has called him vaguely.
Tian Zhenshu didn't know what Zhou Zheng knew, so he didn't ask, "You have to be careful these days..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng stopped, because a group of people appeared in front of them, and the one in the middle was an old acquaintance of Zhou Zheng.
The people surrounded by him saw Zhou Zheng. After a moment, they came over with a big laugh and said in a loud voice: "Haha, Zhou Yushi, it's been a long time."
Zhou Zheng looked at his official uniform, his expression changed slightly, and immediately said, "Congratulations."
The man was smug and approached, his smile disappeared abruptly, his eyes faintly said: "Zhou Yushi, when you see this official, why don't you pay respect?"
Liu Benxi, originally the supervisor of the Jiaxing Mansion of Zhejiang Province, was a brother to Zhou Zheng. Later, he suspected that Zhou Zheng had ruined his promotion. He had repeatedly set up bureaus to frame Zhou Zheng. He had disappeared for a while, but he did not expect to reappear suddenly.
His official uniform is the official uniform of the Supervisor Yushi, but it belongs to Fujian Dao! Judging from the expressions of other people, he should be promoted to the chief official of Fujian Road.
Tian Zhenshu looked at Liu Benxi with a cold expression. Just about to speak, Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Did Liu Yushi make a mistake? You are a seventh-rank, and I am also a seventh-rank. You belong to Fujian Dao, and I am Zhejiang Dao. , I don’t know, why should I salute you?"
Liu Benxi sneered, staring at Zhou Zheng's face, and said, "I hate you when I see your face! I'll let you be arrogant for a while. I know your affairs best. You wait for me, and I will immediately seal it up. If you got your shop and arrested your person, I think what you can do with me!"
In the eyes of many people, Zhou Zheng’s greatest reliance was Wei Xizhuang. Now that Wei Xizhuang has been sent to prison, then Zhou Zheng is a polished rod, not just knead it at will
Zhou Zheng looked at him with a grim look, sneered, and said, "Did you forget the last lesson?"
Liu Benxi's expression suddenly became more ugly, the corners of his face twitched, and he said gloomily, "Then you just wait for me!"
After Liu Benxi finished speaking, he glanced at Tian Zhenshu and strode away.
When Liu Benxi left, Tian Zhenshu whispered: "He is one of the people who urged the hall to arrange."
Zhou Zheng was suddenly stunned and said, "I said why he is so arrogant, because it turned out to be dependent on Cui Chengxiu."
"Be careful," Tian Zhen said. This is the second time Tian Zhenshu has said it.
Zhou Zheng gave a hum and nodded knowingly.
The two adults of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had torn their faces with the eunuchs, and now the eunuchs are fighting back. This is a fight between the gods. They can be crushed into pieces at any time, and they have no resistance.
Zhou Zheng and Tian Zhenshu chatted for a while, arranged Yao Tongshun's affairs, and then left the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhou Zheng returned to Zhou Ji and became economic, Shangguanxun was already waiting.
On the second floor, Zhou Zheng sat in his chair and said with a smile on his face: "The owner, the factory has been expanded, and the manpower is sufficient. It should be able to meet the needs of the salt merchants."
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup in his hand and motioned to continue.
Chengjing’s recent work has made great progress, and he looked excited, saying: “Our Zhou Ji’s goods are very good in the capital. Those dental dealers are still asking for purchases, and they are also starting to sell outside the capital. Each is a big order. Especially to Jiangnan..."
"The Chamber of Commerce in Taiyuan I talked very well. They bought good ones. They are preparing to expand their sales network. They also hope to set up factories in Taiyuan because our shipments can't keep up with their sales speed..."
"Owner, in the first half of the year, our net profit was 110,000. This does not include the salt merchants. In the second half of the year, I am confident that it will double!"
Zhou Zheng kept listening with a smile, without comment, waited until Cheng Jing finished speaking, and looked at Shangguanxun.
Shangguan Xun Bicheng's economy is much more stable. He looked at Zhou Zheng and said: "The owner, I have established the salt shop and put it under the name of a guy. At present, I have negotiated with 30 large and small shops and let them sell our salt on behalf of me. As well as the products of our weekly journal, it is expected to open in the middle of the month... "
"According to the owner's intention, not only the capital, but also the Shuntian Mansion are in contact. I am ready to negotiate a hundred such, 500,000 stones, and strive to sell out within half a year. At the same time, we will also tie-in the goods of our weekly diary to build a stable Sales network... ”
"In addition, I also set up a tea shop to sell tea from the tea shop that I got from the salt merchant..."
Zhou Zheng listened and nodded gently.
With the huge benefits from the salt merchants, Zhou Zheng's business scale is rapidly expanding and expanding, and it is no longer confined to the capital.
Except for Zhou Ji, which is under the name of Liu Liuzhe, the rest are under the name of Zhou Fu Jia Ding, a man. In addition to the salt shop and tea shop, the firms set up under Zhou's tooth shop also planned porcelain, silk and so on.
There is a hint of the business empire that Zhou Zheng envisioned in his heart!
Zhou Zheng was excited, and said calmly, "Well, we are now in rapid development. The more we are at this time, the more stable we are. To maintain the growth rate, we must also lay a solid foundation. , Then it will be difficult to get up again."
Cheng Jiji and Shangguanxun nodded with excitement. They were also looking forward to the future.
Zhou Zheng looked at them, wondering that he had to explain something, and said: "Old Wei is going in temporarily, and he will come out soon. Just like me before, don’t worry if you take refuge. In addition, the wild wind has fluctuated recently. As you all know, if you are careful, I guess many people will make our minds."
Cheng Jiji not only didn't feel nervous, but sneered and said: "Don't worry, our weekly diary is no longer the previous weekly diary! It is related to us, and we don’t know how many officials are taking advantage of us. If we really have something to do, There is no need for the boss to come forward, and someone will naturally come forward."
Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly different. He didn't think of this. He said, "Okay, you write a complete plan for me to see. Also, which officials are related to us, make a list for me, I kind of know."
Cheng Jingji hurriedly said, "It's the owner."
Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Xun, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Shangguan Qing for a while. Just about to open his mouth to ask, Liu Liuzhe suddenly hurried up. He glanced at the economy and Shangguan Xun with a condensed look. He approached Zhou Zheng and passed. After passing a package, he whispered: "Second Young Master, someone sent it."
Looking at Liu Liuzhe's expression, Zhou Zheng took it and opened it. This is a box with a seal and only one word: Tian.
This was sent by Tian Ergeng, enough to bring down Cui Chengxiu!
Zhou Zheng's expression remained unchanged. He raised his head to look at Chengji and Shangguanxun, and said, "I'm here today. If you have anything to do, come to Zhou Ji to find me."
Cheng Jingxun, Shangguanxun knew that Zhou Zheng had something to do, and raised his hands together and said: "It's the boss, let's go first."
Zhou Zheng watched them leave, tore the seal and opened the box.
Inside are piles of official documents, letters, and dozens of them.
Zhou Zheng watched, his gaze flickered slightly, and said to Liu Liuzhe: "Go downstairs and guard, no one can come up."
Liu Liuche knew the matter was serious immediately, nodded, and said solemnly: "Second Young Master, don't worry."
When Liu Liuzhe went downstairs, Zhou Zheng reached out and picked up the top letter in the box.
The letter has already been opened, and I don’t know how many people have read it. Zhou Zheng took it out and looked at it carefully.
This is a flirting letter. The court investigated Cui Chengxiu's relatives the year before. Cui Chengxiu wrote this letter. In the end this relative was arrested and put in jail. This letter fell into Tian Ergeng's hands.
"It's a handle." Zhou Zheng said to himself, but it was not enough.
Zhou Zheng picked up another letter. This was a'letter dividing the loot'. The Yellow River broke its bank the year before, and the court allocated 800,000 two to control the river. Due to the uneven distribution of the loot, Cui Chengxiu's letter was to guide them how to divide it.
From this letter, it can be inferred that 800,000 taels and 70,000 taels entered Cui Chengxiu’s pockets, and 50,000 entered the hands of the adults in the Ministry of Engineering, and 300,000 were allocated to the following people. As for how many people are left in the treatment On the river, no one probably knows, but it must be minimal.
Zhou Zheng looked at this letter for a long while and put it aside.
Picking up one again. This is a semi-public and semi-private letter. Regarding the construction of Wei Zhongxian's Shrine in Henan, the letter from Henan's chief ambassador to Cui Chengxiu said that 18 were built and the gentry donated 1.2 million taels. , Which also implied that one hundred thousand taels would be given to Cui Chengxiu.
This is not only an official document inviting credit, but also a private letter of bribery.
"Interesting." Zhou Zheng read this letter and muttered to himself softly.
The fourth letter was a'letter to sell officialdom', which was not from Cui Chengxiu, but from his younger brother.
Including salt class, tea class, water transportation, weaving, Honghu Temple, etc., each is clearly marked with a price ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 taels, a total of twelve, without exception, all are implemented.
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, put it aside, and picked up another letter.
This is not a letter, but a list, which is evidence of Cui Chengxiu's cultivation of a private person.
There are not only names but also an introduction to their identity. From Cui Chengxiu's Cui family, to relatives, villagers, friends, protégés, etc., a considerable part of them are not qualified to hold the current official positions, all of which are arranged by Cui Chengxiu!
