Wei Xizhuang now doesn't want to go out so quickly, saying: "You are busy with you."
Zhou Zheng didn't persuade him much, and he was worried that Wei Xizhuang would go out to Qiansui Mansion again, and he would be wasting his thoughts.
After leaving the imprisonment, Zhou Zheng wanted to visit Tian Zhenshu at the Criminal Ministry, but couldn't get in at all. Someone deliberately prevented Zhou Zheng from seeing Tian Zhenshu.
Zhou Zheng turned around again to find Zheng Shouli, but he couldn't find it. After thinking and thinking, he had to come back.
As soon as Zhou Zheng returned home, the concierge whispered in Zhou Zheng's ear: "Second Young Master, there are noble guests at home, and the master has come back from the hidden residence and personally entertained.
Zhou Zheng's expression was slightly different. Who could make Father Zhou let go of the new emperor and run back to greet him
Zhou Zheng thought, and walked towards the main hall.
The porter hurriedly stopped him and whispered: "Second Young Master, the master said, I won't let you meet."
Zhou Zheng was stunned. There was a distinguished guest coming, but not seeing him, how rude
Immediately, Zhou Zheng thought of something, could it be someone he had offended
If you don’t see it, you can see it.
He didn't know how many people Zhou Zheng had offended, and he didn't bother to see him.
Zhou Zheng went back to the study and picked up the information of Yongping Mansion again.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone knocked on the door and said, "Second young master, the master is calling you over."
Zhou Zheng put down his book and went to Zhou Qingli's study.
I saw Old Daddy Zhou's eyes were dark and his eyelids were fighting, and he looked very tired. Sitting on the chair, he felt like he could fall asleep in the next moment.
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "It's an old patron of the predecessor. He wants to rise again and is ready to see the emperor."
Zhou Zheng vaguely guessed, shook his head and said: "They are too impatient, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't like it."
Zhou Qingli took a sip from the teacup and said, "So the emperor hasn't seen it."
Zhou Zheng looked at his exhausted father Zhou and said, "I'm afraid that many people are looking for his father these days?"
Zhou Qingli closed her eyes slightly, as if she wanted to take a break, and said, "I have pushed all those who can push, this one can't really push it anymore."
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli's expression, thought for a while, and said, "Father, the emperor is ready in the palace?"
This is what Zhou Zheng is most concerned about. The biggest right and wrong place of Ming Dynasty is the palace. I don't know how many people died in vain these years. Guangzong died in the Hongwan case. There are many doubts about Tianqi's death.
Zhou Qingli smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, there are still many internal supervisors in the palace. Cao Huachun has already supervised the Dongchang and purged the internal court. Some key points have been mastered, and the problem is not big."
Cao Huachun
Zhou Zheng nodded inwardly. This is a great eunuch, and capable. If so, don't worry.
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli and said, "Father, do I have to go to the hidden residence tonight?"
Zhou Qingli let out a sigh of relief and said, "Don't go to the hidden residence, go to the palace."
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli with thoughtful expression on his face.
In the palace, in addition to the inner court, the outer court is a place where many civil officials work, including the cabinet and many halls for repairs, as well as the Wucheng Pavilion, Wuying Hall and other places. Civil officials need to take care of them.
Zhou Qingli stood up and said, "I'm leaving. By the way, don't rush to reinstate office."
Zhou Zheng looked at Father Zhou's expression, his heart moved slightly, and said, "I see."
Obviously, Father Zhou knew something, perhaps Zhu Youzhen had some plans.
Zhou Zheng watched his father Zhou leave the house, turned around and went into the study again.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Liuzhe ran in, handed Zhou Zheng a thick book, and whispered: "Second Young Master, this is from Ma Shiying."
Zhou Zheng quickly took it and said, "Where is the other person?"
Liu Liuzhe said, "It seems that I saw acquaintances nearby, and I didn't dare to stay longer."
Zhou Zheng hummed, opened it and looked at it impatiently.
This is the salt merchant's "compilation", and only those on this list can operate the salt industry. After being on this roster, a'woben' will be issued. With a Woben, you can manage the salt industry hereditary.
Of course, this is the rule of the imperial court, and it has long since collapsed. There are countless people who are not on the "salt" and make a fortune.
However, this is the rule of the court. If anyone is not on the list, the court can handle it at will. At the same time, if changes are made to this list, it will be fatal to some large salt merchants who have already taken root on it!
Zhou Zheng's thoughts turned, his eyes carefully looked at the'Gangfa' catalog, and then at the roster.
On the roster, there are not only names, but also a simple introduction of birthplace, and business scope, etc. It cannot be simpler. Moreover, this has been many years ago, and it is certainly not accurate, and these regulations on the scope of business are in vain.
Zhou Zheng saw that the names of Yang Huzhi and others were impressively listed, and the scope of business was only in Yangzhou.
Zhou Zheng looked at the names of Yang Huzhi and others, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself: "If you don't mess with me, if you mess with me, I'll take you!"
Zhou Zheng looked at it carefully again, and took a pen to record the names of some people.
Before dinner, Zhou Zheng called Liu Liuzhe and asked him to send back this summary book to Ma Shiying.
When Zhou Zheng had just eaten dinner and was about to sit in the pavilion for a while, Wan Qiang also sent a list of salt merchants' influence in the capital.
Wan Qianxiu sat opposite Zhou Zheng with a solemn expression, and said: "I was also taken aback during this investigation. Their forces are everywhere inside and outside the court. You really want to attack them. You have to think clearly."
Zhou Zheng flipped through and looked slowly.
The list of Wan Qian Fei is very clear, and the network of relations is also clearly noted.
Zhou Zheng looked at them one by one, and his expression was solemn.
This is a huge network of relationships that affects the whole body.
For example, He Qihui, the minister of the criminal ministry, is the magnificent distant in-law of his former official minister, Shangshufang, and the godson of his former chief assistant Gu Bingqian. At the same time, his three concubine rooms are related to several major salt merchants. Many people such as the hospital are in the same year, and their relationship is very close.
This list includes nearly a hundred people in the Six Nine Temples, and Huo Weihua's name is in an extremely eye-catching position!
At the same time, there are not only eunuchs, but also the names of many people in the Donglin Party, especially the New Party.
Zhou Zheng looked at it for a long time, closed it gently, and closed his eyes slightly.
It is impossible for the court to take action against the salt merchants, even if Zhu Youjian wants to move, there will be countless people to stop it.
Wan Qianxu looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and said: "Let go, negotiate with them, and make money together is the right thing to do."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him, then picked up the tea cup casually, his eyes were cold.
In this list, he also saw several of the'Eight Emperor Merchants'.
Let go, don't think about it!
Originally, Zhou Zheng just wanted to cut a piece of meat, but now it seems that cutting meat is not enough!
'It has to be re-planned. 'Zhou Zheng muttered to himself and slowly put down the tea cup.
Those salt merchants and Zhou are preparing to make a severe cut, but these future Manchu emperor merchants, Zhou is preparing to uproot! (End of this chapter)
