Seeing the familiar red bullfighting suit, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched uncontrollably.

How did this "Yan Wang" come back?

Take a closer look.

There was also a big eunuch in exquisite eunuch uniform standing beside him.

Got it!

"The Butcher" is back too!

A "King of Hades" and a "Butcher".

Standing like this, everyone feels like a light is on their backs for some reason.

Obviously, Commander Shen and Governor Yu didn't look at them at all, but they just felt uncomfortable.

"Wei Zhong, bring the brocade stools for the elders, let the elders sit down and listen to the meeting!"

Zhu Youjian looked at the posture of all the ministers, couldn't help smiling, shook his head, and gave the brocade stool.

Thank you all.

Wei Zhong led the young eunuchs to move the brocade stools, and the ministers sat down, their ears pricked up and they stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, the servants seized a total of 600 million taels of silver, 660 million taels of gold, jewelry and jade, calligraphy, painting and porcelain, and land deed houses from Huizhou merchants, which is about 5000 million taels of silver!"

Governor Yu throws bricks to attract jade.

This time, Huizhou merchants who had been passed down for thousands of years were destroyed, and more than [-] million taels of silver were harvested.

It is equivalent to 120 years of taxation in the country.

this number.

The shock made everyone's ears ring.

In the early days of the Kingdom, business was not advocated, and it has been like this since the time of Emperor Taizu.

The business status was included in the base status, officials were not allowed to become officials, and even merchants were not allowed to wear silk clothes.

Among the "Three Teachings and Nine Streams", they are all the last ones.

But Guochao cannot do without merchants. In order to balance, the business tax of Guochao has always been extremely low.

During Wuzong's period, these restrictions on business registration were relaxed, but the business tax was not raised.

and so.

The gods can understand that businessmen are rich, but they have never thought that businessmen can be so rich.

A local business helps wealth.

It can match the taxation of the country for more than a hundred years.

So terrifying.

"Your Majesty, from the Shanxi merchants, I seized a total of 1000 million taels of silver, 100 million taels of gold, jewelry and jade, calligraphy, painting, porcelain, land deeds and land deed houseyard minerals, which is about 8000 million taels of silver!"

Commander Shen did not give everyone time to calm down, and immediately released a heavy message.

This time, Shanxi merchants who had been passed down for hundreds of years were destroyed, and a total of [-] million taels of silver was harvested.

It is the tax of the country for more than 200 years.

The ministers were sitting on the brocade stool, but they were slightly touching the surface of the stool, and they didn't sit firmly. They were suddenly frightened and fell directly to the ground.

Thinking, stop completely.

This cannot be said to be rich.

It is more appropriate to use the rich and powerful country.

How did Shanxi Merchants do it?

Wei Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and helped everyone up and sat down.

in the bottom of my heart.

I understand the incomprehension of public appearance very well.

Before the arrival of the public.

Commander Shen and Governor Yu first reported the contents of the account books of Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants.

Hui merchants.

Using elegant and bribery methods to engage in collusion between officials and businessmen to complete the monopoly on the sale of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

monopoly.

It means having pricing power.

In order to earn huge profits.

By the way.

Taking advantage of the longing for the culture of the small countries near the Guochao, they engage in the business of stealing the civilization of the country, that is, other countries, and earn money from Fusang and other countries that live a good life.

The reason why the total amount of silver of Huizhou merchants will exceed that of Shanxi merchants is that it comes from Fusang.

According to the investigation and speculation of Huizhou merchants, there are a large number of silver mines in Fusang.

In general.

Huizhou merchants engage in monopoly, and earn money from foreigners across the ocean.

Shanxi merchants.

It is completely different. The existence of mines makes Shanxi merchants dig money instead of earning money.

Because there is too much silver, Shanxi merchants can't hide it at home, so they can only put it in the bank bank.

However, Shanxi merchants decided that it would be better to save their own than to save others, and they would simply build a bank.

Hit by mistake.

Shanxi merchants stepped into this lucrative industry and made a lot of money!

After that.

Shanxi merchants have discovered a special group in the business of "money begets money, and money begets money".

Merchant!

But it's not an ordinary traveler who travels and resells in the Western Regions.

It was the kind of wandering merchants who wandered on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang and traded with the Yuan people of the late Jinmeng.

These adventurous traveling merchants.

Selling scarce salt, iron and other items to the Houjin and Mongolian Yuan people, earning ten times or dozens of times the profit.

Often do one vote.

You can get wealth that can't be spent in a few lifetimes.

Because of this abnormal way of depositing and withdrawing gold and silver, Shanxi merchants knew about this special industry.

after that.

Shanxi merchants jumped into this industry without hesitation.

As for this kind of business, whether it violates the laws of the country, whether it violates human morality, has not been considered by Shanxi merchants at all.

Mining, banks, smuggling.

The young Shanxi merchants, using this method, quickly surpassed the big brother Huizhou merchants in terms of assets.

But the ending of the two major business gangs can be regarded as the same goal by different routes.

Uprooted.

"You have worked hard!"

Zhu Youjian looked at the two subordinates, paused and said: "Jinyiwei and Xichang, each take [-]% of the seizure and use it for their own development!"

"The servant (servant) thanked His Majesty!"

Commander Shen and Governor Yu were instantly ecstatic, knelt down on the ground, and thanked the Holy Grace.

Your Majesty is so benevolent!

"Your Majesty, regarding the rewards of Jinyiwei and Xichang, I think it is inappropriate."

Elder Han Ge almost skipped and rushed to the imperial case, roaring: "Jinyiwei and Xichang, just did some dirty things, but got tens of millions of silver, it's really ridiculous!"

Suddenly.

The relaxed atmosphere in the hall was broken.

Commander Shen and Governor Yu stared at Elder Han Ge with almost actual killing intent, as if they were looking at a dead person.

First, he questioned His Majesty's holy will, and then ridiculed Jin Yiwei and Xichang Yanxun.

Change to before.

It is possible to endure it.

After creating the "Purgatory on Earth" in Huizhou and Xishan, the mentality of the two has changed subtly.

Ye Shoufu and other prime ministers also had some objections to such a generous reward.

This is a reward.

It is 5000 million taels of silver.

Too much!

But seeing Mr. Han Ge bouncing up and down in opposition, ridiculing and cursing, he frowned immediately.

"What does Mr. Han Ge think of me?"

Zhu Youjian said indifferently.

This old man is really annoying.

"Behead Shen Lian and Yu Huatian, the two executioners, to appease millions of souls in Huizhou and Xishan!"

Elder Han Ge made a heartbroken look, gritted his teeth and said: "Jinyiwei and the people in the West Factory are all people who deserve to be axed. Disband Jinyiwei, West Factory and East Factory as soon as possible, so that the world can be restored!"

With the body of a courtier, speak in the tone of an emperor.

Take the way of death!

Ye Shoufu turned his head away, unable to bear to look directly.

People deserve to die, and no one can save them.

"Ye Xiang, Fang Xiang, Mr. He Ge, do you think so too?"

Zhu Youjian looked at the crowd and asked gently.

It didn't seem like he was angry at all.

"The common people can live a better life within the laws of the country. Officials must, on this basis, do their duty as ministers.

Shen Lian and Yu Huatian are His Majesty's servants and servants. Whether they are dead or alive is all at His Majesty's whim, and they are definitely not something that a courtier can lie about.

Jinyiwei, Xichang, and Dongchang are the rules established by His Majesty to prevent officials from making mistakes.

This rope, if His Majesty thinks it should exist, it should exist, if His Majesty thinks it shouldn't exist, then it shouldn't exist, minister, I have no thoughts or thoughts. "

Ye Shoufu knelt down on the ground and said loudly.

idea?

no idea!

"The minister seconded the words of the chief minister!" ×2

Fang Cifu and He Gelaoyuan prepared a draft, and after hearing Ye Shoufu's answer, they knelt down and agreed.

Being old and not dying is a thief.

Mr. Shoufu, the big "thief" too!
