Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Xu Hongji was taken aback by Xu Wenxuan's question, and asked doubtfully, "Why does my lord know? My lord never intends to rebel, so why do I need to know?"

Xu Wenxuan said with a sneer: "Dare Xu to ask the Duke, how much less is your mansion's income than in the Tianqi years?"

Xu Hongji glanced at Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun with some guilt, and said, "Of course there are a lot less."

Xu Wenxuan laughed and said, "That's it? The annual income of Xu's family is nearly ten thousand taels less than that in the Tianqi period! Ten thousand taels of silver! The Duke of the Kingdom doesn't know what ten thousand taels of silver represents?"

Xu Hongji hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Xianchun was furious, and said, "The missing ten thousand taels of silver must be the commercial tax, right?

But even if you are charged a tax of ten thousand taels of silver, so what?How much do you earn, have you ever calculated it? "

Xu Wenxuan said coldly: "If you don't pay, wouldn't it be better? Then the emperor collects a small amount of taxes every year? It's enough to leak a little from the cracks of his fingers, why bother to compete with me and other small people for profit? "

Xu Xianchun was stunned by Xu Wenxuan's words, and found himself speechless.

Cao Huachun said: "If there is no commercial tax, how can we raise soldiers? What can we use to dredge rivers and bridges? What can we use to build railways? You can't see the things that benefit you?"

Xu Wenxuan snorted coldly: "Emperor Taizu Gao gave preferential treatment to my generation of scholars since he established the country. Why did he keep suppressing when he came to Emperor Chongzhen? What's the reason?"

Xu Hongji sighed: "People's hearts are greedy. You Huating Xu family has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, and you have collected countless people's fat and people's anointing. It is unexpected and still not satisfied!"

Xu Wenxuan bawled and said, "Where is your Duke of Wei's mansion better than my Xu family? Does your Duke of Wei's mansion earn less money every year?"

When Xu Xianchun heard the words, he interrupted Xu Wenxuan directly, and waved his hand: "Take them all away, arrange them all, and choose a day to kill them!"

Xu Xianchun didn't dare to let Xu Wenxuan, that bastard, continue talking—in case something about Duke Wei's mansion was found out, should he investigate it himself or not?

If the Duke of Wei's mansion is really forced to turn against him, will Emperor Chongzhen be able to spare himself?

Xu Hongji obviously also knew the fixed point, and after wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he bowed his hands to Xu Xianchun and thanked him: "Thank you, Commander Xu."

Xu Xianchun smiled and said: "Your Majesty said long ago that what happened three years ago in Chongzhen should not be investigated. As long as Wei Guogong abides by the law in the future, there will be no worries."

Xu Hongji nodded quickly and said, "This is natural, this is natural."

While talking, Xu Hongji made up his mind that he still had to check all the businesses and relatives at home, so as to avoid being found by the factory guards when he could.

……

Time passed very slowly, and then quickly, after just three days, Xu Wenxuan and his group got their due end in Nanjing City.

Xu Wenxuan, Hu Changfeng and other five people were killed, and the rest were beheaded. Those who were over seventy and under seven years old were not included.

This was the first time that Jin Yiwei followed the law of the Ming Dynasty - Emperor Chongzhen was not present, so it was better to follow the law of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would be very disgusting to be targeted by the people of Xichang.

After receiving the news from Xu Xianchun and others, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been in a bad mood for a while, frowned slightly.

The rebellion of these bastards is just like child's play. People say that it takes three years for a scholar to rebel. It seems that the rebellion of these educated and knowledgeable local rich lords is no better than the rebellion of a scholar.

During the entire counter-insurgency process, the factory guards contributed the most, followed by the Nanjing Military Mansion, and it was announced that it was over without even a little momentum.

It's purely to jump out to disgust yourself.

The most embarrassing thing is that after killing these five families, there are more disgusting things waiting for him.

Chapter 6 Eighteen

The five huge families that had been entrenched in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years were all wiped out in less than a month, making everyone reassess the Chongzhen Emperor.

In the past few years, Emperor Chongzhen continued to conquer foreign countries, killing a lot of people overseas and in Nuergan Dusi and other places, but his actions towards Daming were much lighter.

Not only did they not deal with the vassal kings much, but even the actions in the officialdom were much smaller. At least they did not punish the Nine Clans at every turn, and more were aimed at the officials themselves.

It was the quiet time of the past few years that caused some people to make mistakes-the emperor began to cultivate his morals and planned to rule the country with literati.

However, it was of no use. Once the incidents of these five families happened, it proved to be a familiar recipe, a familiar taste, and the familiar dog emperor.

He is ruthless, kills people without blinking an eye, and kills nine clans at every turn, much more ruthless than his ancestors.

At the very least, the number of people killed in the major cases caused by Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was only in units of [-], while the unit of Emperor Chongzhen was [-].

The unit is incremented directly.

And the follow-up impact of the five families' death obviously didn't just end with the death of the five families.

Xu Hongji finally showed the ruthlessness that Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty should have - after reporting to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, a wave of investigations was launched directly in the Nanjing Military Mansion.

This time, in the process of killing the five families, so many guards from thousands of guards responded, which is enough to prove what kind of bird the guards in Jiangnan have been infiltrated into.

This time was fine, there were only five families and some small families attached to them, so it didn't cause any big disturbances, but what about next time?

What if more families responded and more guards were involved?Should I follow along with Qing Jun or die to thank Jun?

It would be fine if the Qing Dynasty could succeed, but judging by Emperor Chongzhen's resolute demeanor, coupled with the beheading of so many officials, and the reaction of the people in Nanjing, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty's side is a complete joke!

At that time, there will be death on the left and right, and the latter will implicate his own nine clans and children in it.

Instead of dying by yourself, it is better to check the army in Nanzhili first, and let those who have different intentions die.

As for Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun, they released a joint operation of factory guards to directly investigate the official circles in Jiangnan.

Songjiang Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, Huai’an Mansion, and even Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing have been infiltrated by these five families from top to bottom. The master book and county lieutenant below.

Not necessarily people from these five families, but it is always inevitable to receive the benefits of these five families and provide some information to these five families when it is useful.

According to Chongzhen, even if he took Daming's salary and digs up the bastard things in the corner of Daming, if they don't kill them, they still keep it for the New Year?

In addition, the impact of the death of these five families is also reflected in the folks.

Because these five companies not only controlled nearly half of the sea trade, but also involved in businesses such as cotton cloth, and secretly involved private salt.

Although the newly appointed Lianghuai salt transport envoy also suffered heavy losses, but the centipede is dead but not stiff, so how could it be possible to completely take care of these five companies in just a few years.

Now it's all right. After the five companies are completely eliminated, nearly half of the sea trade market, nearly [-]% of the cotton and silk market, and [-]% of the private salt market are completely vacant.

In such a large market, we have to consider the distribution of interests of all parties and find reliable people to take over, which is definitely not an easy task.

For example, for the position of governor of Zhejiang, can the people who have just been transferred from the Ministry of Officials in the capital figure out the whole of Zhejiang in a short time?

There are also people in Zhejiang and Fujian.

If these five families are killed at once, how much benefit will the common people get from the sea?For a while, no one could figure it out, they only knew that it must be beneficial.

As for how much benefit each person can reap, it depends on each person's own ability and courage.

Those who are brave enough to eat early will be full of oil, while those who are timid and late can only drink soup, or they can't even drink the soup at all, and can only smell the residual fragrance to indulge themselves.
