Ming dynasty grand dude

What is it that there is nothing in the palace, but his Tong family has it? !Isn't this the way to seek death? !

If you don't have anything to do on weekdays, but you can bring it up at this time...

Tong Chengchun, a child merchant, secretly glanced at those colleagues beside him, and saw a gleam of joy in their eyes.

All of a sudden, they were ashamed, these people were probably waiting for the complete collapse of his Tong family so that they could make a fortune on the bones of his Tong family? !

"Mr. Jinshan doesn't have to worry, the old man can still get 200 million taels of silver."

But the boy merchant gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Within three days, it will be settled!"

Chapter 381 Gentlemen and wealthy businessmen are really rich, and Tong Chengchun is so angry that his liver hurts

"You're rich..." Because of the tacit cooperation with Mr. Zhang last time, old Dai Yi was sent here again this time.

He also came with the Ordnance Construction Bureau from the Construction Division, the Junshu Division, and the Casting Division, the Third Division with one hundred and fifty master craftsmen and four hundred craftsmen.

With eight hundred assistant craftsmen, it can be said that the lineup is luxurious and full of confidence.

Gein Zhang Xiaogong sent a secret report to Emperor Hongzhi after Xie Yutian asked Xie Yutian to find out the situation of these people in northern Guangdong.

It said clearly: Emperor Shishu, our chance to make a fortune has come!

Choose an official from the internal treasury and organize a group of masters from the third department of the Ordnance Construction Bureau. The people here are stupid and the money is rich, come quickly! !

Without saying a word, Emperor Hongzhi ordered the imperial navy, which was moored in Jinmen for training, to organize and escort these craftsmen to northern Guangdong.

Fortunately, the three major shipyards have now been injected with funds and are being strictly supervised.

They also took out the blueprints for shipbuilding, but the craftsmen haven't built a giant treasure ship for too long.

Now it can only be trial-manufactured a little bit according to the drawings, "Yongle Dadian" and many records in ancient books.

This time they were sent here by the newly incorporated fleet.

"Really... rich!!" Zhang Xuanying, the chief envoy of Northern Guangdong, looked at the final summed up amount and acres of land, his lips trembling.

The official and Tun Ertian returned by the gentry and wealthy merchants in Yangcheng alone amounted to more than [-] mu! !

And in the end, they finally paid almost 400 million taels of silver on the newly built pier. What kind of concept is this? !

At the peak of the annual income of the Taicang Bank of the Ministry of Finance, it was only 400 million taels!

Damn it!The gentry and rich merchants in Yangcheng, northern Guangdong, directly took out 400 million taels of cash!

How could this not make Zhang Xuanying tremble? !

There are also those fields. I used to know that they swallowed a lot of Guantun Ertian.

Even the chief envoys, inspectors, and even the imperial censor of all dynasties did not interfere too much in this matter.

Even Liu Daxia's tour to northern Guangdong was just to suppress bandits and try cases, and he didn't touch the matter of occupying Ertian in Guantun at all.

It was only now that they were directly opened to take a look, and everyone took a breath!

More than [-] mu, what is this concept? !

According to Gu Yanwu's "Rizhilu" quoting Hongxi's year Zhou Qian said:

"For example, in Wujiang, Kunshan and other fields, the old tax is five liters per mu, and the small people rent rich room fields, and privately rent one stone per mu."

Shiwu's rent should be 2 shi per mu.

These are all official farmland and farmland, that is to say, almost all of the production of more than [-] mu of land belongs to the national treasury!

Even if there is some loss in the middle, it is more than [-] shi of grain at the rate of one shi per mu paid to the treasury!

"This is just a place in Yangcheng. I don't know how many 'empire foundations' are at work in northern Guangdong, or even in the entire empire!"

Mr. Zhang was not surprised by this at all. These gentry, merchants and scholars are the biggest cancer in this empire.

Daming is the most important lesson that capital has taught everyone in the history of China to show their ferocity and greed.

These "scholars" and "cultured people" used their voice power and tax exemption rights to continuously suck blood from the empire.

Even one or two are scrambling to dig the corner of this empire, wishing to smash the entire empire and move it to their own homes.

Finally, the empire was smashed by them, and they moved back home as they wished.

But what followed was the backlash brought about by this greed.

King Chuang was not the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he raised his knife without hesitation and took out the silver from the pockets of these scholars.

It was also at this time that the Qing Dynasty outside the pass came.

Some scholars still hope that there will continue to exist the Daming that allows them to swallow money and control the court, but they have no choice but to lose the money.

The emerging Qing Dynasty knew very well what the foundation and virtues of these scholars were, and they were not relentless in terms of taxation.

The ending of tax resisters without exception: kill!

In the Ming Dynasty, he was able to kill the emperor's tax collectors without authorization, and even killed the elated scholars who were sent to collect taxes...

This is the first time I know that my bones are not as hard as I imagined.

At the same time, they also understood that the Qing Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty that indulged them.

More than [-] scholars were directly stripped of their fame and dust.

This made them bow their heads and pay taxes to Daqing honestly.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan, where the empire collected a little tax, complained that it could not survive, actually managed to live well in the Qing Dynasty, where taxes were more stringent than that of the Ming Dynasty.

There are no more scholars who dare to shout about tax collection...

"Bang bang~!" Tong Shang's mouth was trembling, and he couldn't help shaking while sitting on the chair.

200 taels, 200 taels! !

The Tong family plundered, murdered and set fire, illegally entered the sea... It took several generations to get the money.

There is also the 15 mu of fertile land, just thinking of the 15 mu of fertile land makes the child merchant's heart twitch continuously.

"Cheng Chungong, it's too late to say anything now! The most important thing now is the shares of this dock!"

Liu Bozhang, the fat black man, was gnashing his teeth. All of them were a little late and were not the first to pay.

As a result, they paid more money than Hong Zhou and that old ghost, but got less shares!

Hong Zhoutong invested 60 taels, and later increased it to 70 taels to take up [-]% of the shares in the terminal.

Tong Chengchun, a child merchant, spent a total of 15 mu of land and 200 million taels of silver to get [-]% of the shares!

Needless to say, Liu Bozhang and others, each contributed 10 taels to 50 taels.

However, all of them together only account for [-]% of the shares in the terminal. Who can be convinced? !

"I don't believe that there is no room for reasoning in this world. If the jade chi tiger doesn't give me an explanation... I will go to the capital to beat the Dengwen drum!"

Hearing these words, Tong Chengchun's eyes slowly turned to the talking old man.

He snorted coldly and said, "Do you think this is the dynasty of a few years ago?! Yushi and Shizhong can wait for me?!"

The old man who said this couldn't help but hesitate, it was only at this time that he remembered that the imperial censor in the court seemed to be intimidated by everything.

Either digging silt on the river, or digging in the mine.

It is said that a lot of people died in the Jinmen Fort, and the Imperial Academy is empty now, and there are two or three kittens in the Inspector's Academy.

The various ministries of the cabinet and the Emperor Hongzhi will not send out all the memorials for the addition of Hanlin, Yushi, and Shizhong....

Because they found out...without this birdman, the court affairs were dealt with much faster!

Almost all the time spent on everyone's gossip was gone.

Since this is the case, why do you have to find unhappy people to add this group of people back when you are fine? !

And now there is a shortage of people in every department, a big shortage of people!

The Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Household Affairs...there is a shortage of people everywhere, and I added that those wrangling departments are not idiots? !

Chapter 382 The hearts of scholars and merchants in northern Guangdong are broken, and the blood is used to drive away the tiger

Who is the most powerful voice now? !After careful calculation, it really can only be counted as this Jade Chihu.

Relying on those battles of cursing the world's scholars and the Ministry of Rites, the "Imperial Times" under his command has completely gained a firm foothold in this Ming Dynasty.

Although he doesn't publish much editorial now, this does not hinder the authority and huge demand of "Imperial Times".

The "Empire Times" has now added a supplement, which is called "Empire Weekly".

This "Empire Ten Weekly" is published three times a month, one in ten days.

Although the period is longer, its depth is higher than that of the "Imperial Times", and it contains a large number of contributions from ordinary scholars.

Published manuscripts can also get retouching, 15 taels per article, and 50 taels at the highest.

Although these scholars value it, what everyone values ​​more is that it can be published in "Empire Weekly" and can be commented by famous experts such as Qian Fuqian and Qian!

As far as Shilin is concerned, it is a matter of face for Bel, and more importantly: It is said that His Majesty's cabinet and various ministers also read "Weekly".

And from time to time, reviews will come out and be published in weekly magazines.

It's so special that everyone's face will skyrocket!

Now who dares to say a bad word about "Imperial Times" and "Empire Weekly", it is not others who want to be stabbed first, but everyone in Shilin!

Nima!You are trying to smash the reputation and jobs of labor and capital, cut off labor and capital's wealth, destroy labor and capital's fame and fortune, do you still want to live? !

You are so tender!

Needless to say, what is the relationship between the "Imperial Times" and Yu Chihu? Who the hell can find fault with Yu Chihu in terms of public opinion? !

"Then what should I do?! Shall I just recognize this?!"

Next to him was a Confucian scholar, with a net scarf and hair crown on his head. An old man in his fifties, with a long beard and a long beard, snorted coldly.

At this time, the old man did not have the benevolence and elegance that a Confucian scholar should have, and his face was more sinister and violent.

"I'm afraid each family lost no less than 40 mu of land?! It's all my ancestral property!!"

They never mentioned how these ancestral properties came from. It is my ability to occupy the Ertian in the official village.

If you come to claim it back, it is "competing with the people for profit", that is "oppressing the good", and you can't wait to take all the land in this country to your own home.

This is the real intention of these gentry merchants, and at this time they have lost 40 acres of fertile land, and they are already furious.

"At the moment the army is on the side, and the chief envoy and the inspector are on his side, I'm afraid it's not easy..."

But he saw that black fat man Liu Bozhang had a sinister face, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I have already spent 40 acres of land..."

"I don't believe that the commanders of the guards and thousands of households will be unaware and have nothing to worry about!"

As soon as the fat black man spoke, the eyes of the merchants present lit up!

Yes, our fields are all vomited out.

Can those commanders and thousands of households stop vomiting? !I'm afraid their background is even more unclean? !

"I'm afraid they won't dare to move..."

After all, the Tong Shang was mature and prudent, and he sighed deeply: "They are at most twenty or thirty soldiers in the family, and compared with the elite of the Jade Chihu..."

Can that compare? !It is simply the difference between a chicken and a tiger!

They have also seen the commanders of the guards and the soldiers of thousands of households.

The better ones still have a little military appearance and discipline, and they look like a man.

But it depends on who you compare with, compared with the old and weak in the guard who can't escape, compared with the bandits who occupy the mountain as king.

These commanders and soldiers of thousands of households are indeed quite good.

But if you compare it with those soldiers of Yuchihu, it is completely incomparable.

How to compare? !When they entered the camp, they looked black and heavy, wearing heavy armor.

Standing in front of, behind, left, and right of them like mountains, these merchants were once overwhelmed.
