Domineering Daming

Fan Jinxiong, Fan Yongdou and others were startled and came to the gate one after another.

The Fan family is a big family in Shanxi, and their assets are difficult to calculate. The tea gardens all over the country alone exceed [-] mu. One can imagine their background.

This mansion occupies an area of ​​more than a thousand mu. It cannot be seen from the outside, but the inside is magnificent, luxurious and noble!

Relying on the relationship with Huitong Commercial Bank, Fan Jinxiong has made a fortune in the past few years. It is not an exaggeration for the Fan family to say that they are making money every day!

With a sullen face, he stood in front of the door, looked at the young guard in his early twenties who was riding a tall horse, raised his hand and said, "General Wang, what do you mean? There is nothing missing in the offerings that my Fan family should have! "

Wang Wensheng was very young, but his expression was a bit vicissitudes, and he said coldly: "Fan Jinxiong, do you think it's just for that little offering?"

Fan Jinxiong's heart raced. In Shanxi, no one could take the position of their Fan family. He didn't expect anyone to take action against them, and said with a sullen face: "My lord Wang, I don't care who invites you. My Fan family is all-powerful. Anyone If you want to move, you have to think about the consequences!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Wensheng's indifferent face, he sat on the horse, leaned over and pressed the horse's head and said: "Fan Jinxiong, I have been in Zhangjiakou for so long, and you have been checking me for so long, have you found out about me? "

Fan Jinxiong felt uneasy, looked at Fan Yongdou, who had a sullen face, who had been silent all the time, his eyes flickered, looked at Wang Wensheng and said: "Master Wang, if you have anything to say, why not write it down, there is nothing wrong with what my Fan family can do. !"

Wang Wensheng smiled and said: "It seems that you really don't know, I will be a good person today and tell you that I came to Zhangjiakou because of a secret order!"

Fan Jinxiong frowned, still puzzled, and said, "Master Wang, please speak clearly."

Wang Wensheng didn't say much, and said lightly: "It's very simple, the emperor wants to teach Jiannu a lesson. You and Jiannu have always known about your activities as the emperor. You are just waiting for the right opportunity."

Fan Yongdou, who had been silent all this time, opened his eyes sharply, looked at Wang Wensheng and said, "You said, the emperor has always known?"

Wang Wensheng smiled more and more, and said: "That's right, I knew it from the beginning of the cooperation, before I was enthroned!"

The corners of Fan Yongdou's eyes twitched. He had always been very careful. In order to avoid the court finding out, he even hired Mongolians as middlemen. He went around a circle, but he didn't expect that the emperor had been paying attention to their every move!

Fan Jinxiong's expression also changed, he stared at Wang Wensheng and said, "Who are you?"

Wang Wensheng straightened up and said, "Wang's grandmother is the queen of the Shenzu Emperor, the birth mother of Emperor Guangzong!"

Fan Jinxiong's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the corners of his face twitched involuntarily.

If Wang Wensheng's words are true, then he and the current emperor are cousins, relatives of the emperor!

Before Fan Jinxiong could speak, Fan Yongdou stepped forward and said: "The matter of building slaves was done by me alone. I am willing to donate all the property of the Fan family to the imperial court. I just ask Lord Wang not to kill!"

Wang Wensheng's expression reappeared fierce, and he said: "Fan Yongdou, why are you bargaining with the emperor! Come and confiscate Fan's family, if there is any obstruction, shoot him! Fan Jinxiong and Fan Yongdou, put them in prison immediately, and escort them to the capital tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers behind Wang Wensheng had sharp spears and a murderous aura. They were all veterans of the Nine Frontiers Town, and each of them had experienced battles for a long time.

Fan Jinxiong was mad with hatred in his heart. Their Fan family had accumulated for several generations to get what they are today, yet they were lost in his hands like this!

He suddenly pulled Fan Yongdou over, bit his ear and said in a low voice: "I will try my best to save your life, no matter what, my Fan family can't perish, we must make a comeback!"

Fan Yongdou was only seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyes were shining with fiery anger, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

On the same day, the Wang family, Jin, Liang, and more than a dozen Shanxi clans, commonly known as Shanyou, were all confiscated. The people from Huitong Commercial Bank arrived afterward and began to rectify and take over the property.

After such a long period of cooperation, Huitong Commercial Bank has already figured out the property status of these families, and received it very smoothly. Even if there were any secrets, they were all dumped out after being tortured by Dongchang.

After annexing these big families, Zhu Xu's business empire centered on Huitong business has expanded again, like a giant, spanning the north and south of the river and spreading all over Ming!

Five days later, the Royal Study Room.

Zhu Xu held a thick account book in his hand, flipping through it with great interest.

Fu Tao stood beside him and said: "Your Majesty, a total of 37 companies have been confiscated, and the cash alone is more than 1000 million taels. The various industries may cost tens of millions of taels, and they are still being counted. It will take some time."

Zhu Xu was seeing Fan's tea garden, which covered seven thousand acres and five hills!

And other things, such as medicinal materials, silk, fertile land, and even private salt, etc., are countless, making Zhu Xu speechless. These people earn more than him.

"Confiscate everything, don't let a penny go!" Zhu Xu closed the account book and said, patting.

"Yes."

Fu Tao agreed, looked at Zhu Xu again, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with these people?"

Zhu Xu was about to pick up his teacup to drink tea, he was startled when he heard the words, and said: "Brother, who do you want to protect?"

Fu Tao bowed slightly, and said, "Some talents look good to me, and I want to recruit them."

Zhu Xu understood, thought for a while, and said: "Except for the patriarchs of these families, the leaders of the second and third numbers, the rest, the elder brother can draw up a list and hand it over to Xiao Cao."

Recently, Fu Tao felt more and more that Zhu Xu's emperor's majesty was heavy, seeing that he was still as easy to talk as before, he looked happy, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xu waved his hands and smiled, and just about to speak, Liu Shimin walked in from the side door and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Taiji's request note has arrived."

Chapter 366 Killing Shanxi Merchants

Zhu Xu laughed, and smiled at Fu Tao: "Brother, did you see it?"

Fu Tao also smiled, Jiannu's life was hard, and they couldn't live without Daming's help. Once they were completely blocked, life would be even more difficult, and it would be a great blow to their recovery of morale.With the utilitarian nature of building slaves, it doesn't matter to write a memorial.

Zhu Xu didn't look at it, and said directly: "The supervisor of ceremonies prepared an order and severely reprimanded Huang Taiji. If you want to build a slave, you must have a permanent peace of mind, and you must not start a war at will. As for the dispute between them and Lin Danhan, you can send someone to Going to Beijing, I will coordinate for them, there is nothing that cannot be resolved through peaceful negotiations!"

Even Fu Tao, who doesn't get involved in political affairs, was slandered for a while when he heard it. I'm afraid a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it.

Liu Shimin also knew that this was nothing more than a cliché, which meant that slaves were not allowed to conquer Mongolia.It's just that the will can be made, but Jianu may not obey it, right?

Liu Shimin hesitated, but still said: "Your Majesty, if Jianu refuses to listen, how should he be punished?"

Zhu Xu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a sneer, "Punish? Why should I punish? I want to provoke him again!"

Both Liu Shimin and Fu Tao were startled, not knowing why.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "The cannon that Bi Maokang got has special ammunition, how many have been cast now?"

This kind of cannon is a failure in the development of the Ordnance Bureau. It is completely useless. Although the range is long, the shells are special, and the power is still small. The most important thing is that it is easy to explode. Three out of ten times!

Liu Shimin knew it, and said: "A while ago, the emperor said that he would sell it to Lin Danhan, so the Military Weapons Bureau made some, there should be thirty."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Give it to Lin Danhan, let the Ministry of War discuss it, and the price will be higher."

Fu Tao cared about business the most, but he wasn't stupid. Let alone any other threats, the temptation of the cannon alone was enough to make Jiannu attack the Chahar tribe desperately to get these cannons.

Liu Shimin was puzzled, and said: "Your Majesty, although these cannons are defective, they are not insignificant. If Jiannu can be used to attack the city..."

Zhu Xu looked outside, and said with a smile: "Don't say that Lin Danhan won't be so easy for Jiannu to get, even if he can get it, isn't Jiannu still with Tong Yangzhen? Let him run a little longer and try."

If you fire a few more shots, won't they all blow up?

Tong Yangzhen is currently in charge of casting cannons for Houjin, but "lack of craftsman and skills" has been making slow progress.
