I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Wen Tiren's approach seemed to be just right, not only reflecting the imperial court's current intention to recruit local natives, but also made a long-term contribution.

……

The cabinet department suggested that the reform of the Ryukyu system and the resettlement of local natives could be successfully resolved here, but it was not so easy at Wang Gongchang.

After Zhang Weixian left the palace, he led his people straight to the Shenjiying Gunpowder Bureau outside Wang Gong's factory.

There, he saw Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, who had just finished drinking and was sleeping with his arms around a woman, and there were three or five nobles around him as well.

Zhang Weixian's face was livid with anger immediately, and he said coldly:

"Wake him up."

With an order, Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining stepped forward and threw off the quilt, and shouted loudly, "Marquis Yangwu, wake up!"

"The sun is on the butt!"

As the words fell, the nobles who followed around laughed loudly.

"Look at him."

"Yeah, sleeping like a dead pig!"

"Which family's young lady are you looking for again?"

The sudden coolness and laughter made Xue Lian startled all over. He immediately jumped up and touched his waist, but it was in vain.

When he was sleeping, he didn't know which corner he threw the saber into.

Looking up, Xue Lian saw the British Duke Zhang Shize whose complexion had gradually turned black, and the Marquis of Taining Chen Yanzuo who had a sneer on his face.

These nobles are all pointing at them.

Soon, the remaining nobles who were in charge of Wang Gong Factory were all woken up, with question marks on their foreheads, seeing that it was Zhang Weixian who came, and they didn't have the bragging rights of last time.

"Drink, keep drinking!" Zhang Weixian sat on the chair, looked at the surrounding scene of corruption, and said ironically:

"I think you, Xue Lian, live a more elegant life than me, the British prince and the governor. How dare you disobey His Majesty's will?"

"Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

Xue Lian murmured, taking advantage of the alcohol, and said:

"It's a good time for you to come. You can go to the inner and inner warehouses to have a look. At least there should be tens of millions of stones of gunpowder."

"It's just these gunpowder, can we finish moving them in a month?"

"Your Majesty also said that the entire Wanggong Factory will be moved out before May. Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Besides, we brothers, who doesn't arrange a few errands in the Beijing camp? Once Wang Gong's factory is moved away, the Beijing camp will be rectified soon."

"Brothers are no better than civil servants, it's just this oily water, do you think it makes sense!"

Chapter 7 and Ten Years of Planning by the Plutocrats

"Shut up, I'm not here to listen to your complaints."

When Zhang Weixian heard that this guy was still talking plausibly, he immediately pulled his face down and said:

"Hurry up, move Wang Gong's factory according to His Majesty's will."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with all the nobles.

According to Zhang Weixian's thinking, he knew that Zhu Youxiao couldn't rub the sand in his eyes in this kind of matter.

The reason why they didn't say anything harsh in court was to a large extent because they wanted to make big things into small things, and they quickly moved to Wang Gong's factory.

Maybe there is something urgent, otherwise Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian's matter will be left in the past, even if he is not directly chopped off, he will have to be severely punished.

That's what Zhang Weixian meant, he turned around and was about to leave, just to spare Xue Lian what happened.

After all, Xue Lian's ability to fight is also good. Now when the court employs people, as long as the fault is not too serious, he can be forgiven.

Who would have thought that Xue Lian would not let him go.

He came up and said:

"Master Guo, you have come here, so please persuade His Majesty for me, Wang Gongchang can't be moved casually."

"It's not that we can't move away, it's that once Wang Gong's factory is moved out, what should the brothers do? Where will the children of each family go?"

"Could it be possible to stuff it in the Yongwei camp?"

Hearing this, Zhang Weixian suddenly turned around.

"you dare--!"

"Your Majesty turned a blind eye to the three major battalions. That's because I knew they wouldn't be needed. They're rotten. If anyone in the Yongwei Battalion dares to move, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Xue Lian sat down on the ground, and said sarcastically:

"Then... Grandpa, give me an idea. Let's keep secrets about the three major battalions. If it really moves, the brothers will blame me, so don't take it out on me."

Zhang Weixian snorted coldly, "Move yours!"

"With my father here, let me see which one of them dares to make trouble. Do you really think that my British father is a vegetarian?"

Xue Lian also had no choice, after all, he couldn't resist the decree openly, and the British prince came in person, so he couldn't do without this face.

He had no choice but to get up, waved his hand and said:

"What are you doing in a daze, tell the various factory bureaus to move it!"

Zhang Weixian had already left, and Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining, who is now the Zuo Dudu and Xue Lian's immediate boss, came over.

He patted Xue Lian on the shoulder, and said with a half-smile:

"You should pay more attention in the future. This is not right. Get rid of your lustful problem as soon as possible."

"The pens of those literati are not inferior to the knives in our hands."

Xue Lian was taken aback for a moment, and said:

"What do you mean, those schoolboys are idle and have nothing to do, so they go around fabricating rumors about Lao Tzu?"

Chen Yanzuo spread his hands while walking, "Who knows, why don't they talk about my Taining Hou Mansion?"

"Isn't it because you can't control that thing down there, and you're messing around?"

Xue Lian spit on the ground, waved his hands and said:

"Okay, we got it."

"These bastards."

Now he also knows in his heart that his reputation among the people is not very good, if he is hated by the emperor because of this incident, it will really be over.

Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, began to work honestly. As soon as the nobles moved, the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture also sent soldiers and servants to clean the streets.

Within a few kilometers around Wang Gong's factory, the streets were full of walking soldiers and government servants, and they were also guarding the route out of the city along the way.

Although everyone is confused, the emperor's will is very firm, and Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, is a little scared now and will end in person, so he works more diligently.

The capital side started to move Wang Gong's factory in a hurry, and on the other side of Suzhou, Fu Yingxing, the head of the East Factory, finally arrived in a hurry.

……

People in Dongchang were beaten to death in the street, this is the second time this happened in Suzhou.

The last time it was the Tiqi who passed the order, this time it was the flag officer who came down from the East Factory to supervise the mission, and it didn't end well. It is said that the person who was beaten could not be seen.

I don't know, I thought how much the local people hated these fans.

In fact, Dongchang's collection of merchant taxes has no direct relationship with the people, but some ignorant people were provoked by those scholars and used as guns.

The first time was instigated by Li Dan, the leader of the overseas Chinese maritime merchants. Although Dongchang had already found out the matter, Li Dan was a fool.

Maybe he smelled something dangerous. Since then, he has never returned to Daming. He has been staying in Japan for the past two years, living a happy life.

But this time is different, Dongchang can't handle Li Dan who is hiding in Japan, can't he also handle you bunch of literati?

Originally, Wei Zhongxian was afraid that Emperor Tianqi would be jealous, so he didn't intend to intervene.

But it's not Wei Zhongxian who is in charge now, but the current emperor, who didn't want to let this matter go, and ordered Dongchang to handle it strictly.

In this way, the fans will naturally revenge and revenge, and with the emperor as their backer, they will be more confident.

"Nianru! Nianru!"

In the Yingchun Pavilion, someone was calling Yang Nianru, who was one of the so-called five leaders who led the Suzhou scholars to resist the eunuchs and killed the supervising flag captain this time.

The other four were Yan Peiwei, Zhou Wenyuan, Ma Jie, and Shen Yang.

Among these five people, three were the leaders of Donglin Scholars, while the other two had special identities, and Dongchang felt strange when they were found out.

There was a man named Ma Jie, who was a groom in the residence of Zhou Shunchang, the current governor of Suzhou. Later, Zhou Shunchang pleaded for the lives of these five people, which may have been the result of their previous discussions.

Although Zhou Shunchang, who seems to be loyal and upright, is well-designed, he is really not a good thing.

And the one named Yan Peiwei is the younger brother of Yan Peilu, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou.

Therefore, Dongchang Shun Teng continued to investigate and found that Yan Peilu, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, had actually been at odds with the Huang family in Suzhou.

This will solve a lot of questions.

In the second year of Tianqi, the imperial court established the Imperial Chamber of Commerce in Suzhou, and the Suzhou Huang family was the head of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce personally selected by Zhu Youxiao.

In Suzhou at that time, besides the Huang family, there was another big chaebol, the Yan family, who was Huang's biggest competitor.

In fact, the Yan family is one of the behind-the-scenes chaebols supporting the Donglin Party.

They supported the Donglin Party to govern for their own benefit. Only when the Donglin Party agreed in the court could they turn around and repay the support of the chaebols, right?

Since the establishment of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, Li Shi of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau began to cooperate with Huang Huatang, almost monopolizing the silkworm business.

With the help of the imperial court, the Huang family quickly became the co-leader of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Emperor Chamber of Commerce, and severely suppressed the Yan family, who had been rivals for many years.

The Yan family naturally refused to accept this situation.

However, although the Donglin Party in the second year of the Apocalypse has not passed the major imperial examinations in the coming year, it is far from being the opponent of the Eunuch Party supported by Zhu Youxiao in the court.

The Yan family, still following the loss of power of the Donglin Party in the court, could no longer be the opponent of the Huang family, and thus declined year after year.

This "Tombstone of Five People" is the result of years of brewing by the chaebol forces behind the scenes of several Donglin Groups including the Yan family.

For this reason, they have already planned everything.

Regardless of the Donglin Party or the chaebols behind it, since the day Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne until now, they have never given up for a moment.

Chapter 711 The Civil War in Suzhou

Yang Nianru was sitting around the table with all the scholars talking about the world, when he heard someone shouting, he suddenly woke up like a dream, and fell back to reality.

In his imagination, he is already a Donglin righteous man who advises the emperor and fights against the eunuchs.

His heroic and unyielding deeds have been remembered by the world. They have shocked the past and the present, and shined through the annals of history. He is a serious man.

But in reality, he is just a poor and down-and-out scholar who, with the help of Zhou Shunchang, a Tuiguan in Suzhou, managed to get the position of supervisor of the Imperial College.

Today is the 42nd birthday of Zhou Shunchang, the governor of the Suzhou government. In the name of the spring poetry and wine gathering, the other four people who participated in the riot, a group of scholars, and many children of the Yan family were summoned to drink wine.

First, it was to celebrate Zhou Shunchang's birthday.

Secondly, it is also to celebrate the victory over the eunuchs this time, and return the world to a bright future.

As for the so-called reciting poems and composing Fu, this has always been just an excuse for scholars to discuss things that cannot see the light.

On Zhou Shunchang's birthday, everyone wanted to save face, and they had no complaints when they were summoned, but those literati and merchants knew each other well and looked down on each other.

In the eyes of the merchants' children, these seemingly free-spirited and righteous literati are nothing but self-proclaimed chasing fame and fortune.

In the eyes of literati, the children of merchants are also just some lustful people who claim to be lovers.

Compared with the contempt and disdain for the literati by the children of merchants, the literati actually look down on these Yan family children in front of them.

However, literati spend a lot of money among the people, and rely on these merchants for their basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and even the smooth careers of those Donglin high-ranking officials in the court.

The literati did not dare to offend these people. Once they were cut off from food and clothing, they would become truly destitute when they were outside.

At that time, most of them will no longer be able to afford such high-end places, and they will lose face in front of others, and they will have to survive in the cracks.

Lukewarm, out of date.

Now mixing with merchants and the children of the rich and powerful like this has actually raised their social status, so that they no longer have to worry about the daily necessities that poor people have to worry about all day long, and live a truly chic life.
