Chapter 476: Let them go!
"What is a trivial matter? What is a big matter?" Zhu Jun said: "If it is related to our family's business, then it is a big matter. If it is a normal competition, you don't have to tell me, I am too lazy to take care of it.
But if someone comes to bully me, where can I put my face?"
Shen Erbao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "Young man is guilty, please forgive me, Lord Six!"
Seeing Shen Erbao kneeling on the ground, Qin Yanru was even more shocked, and she became more and more sure of her inner speculation.
This noble man said, this is our family's business.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Shen family has now been merged into Prince Wu's Mansion.
This noble man can scare the second master of the Shen family to kneel down and admit his mistake with just one word, and his identity will be revealed!
She suppressed the shock in her heart, which was followed by excitement. She even felt a little dizzy because of the excitement.
All kinds of random thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end she still tended to be pessimistic.
This noble person's identity is so scary. Although she is one of the three beauties of Yangzhou, to the noble person, she is nothing more than a plaything.
How can she reach such a high level with her status?
Don't even think about entering the house.
Even if she is a decoration for a noble person, she is not qualified!
"Get up and tell us what's going on!" Zhu Jun said.
"The people from the Inspection Department come here to check every now and then. They say they are checking, but in fact they want benefits. If they don't give them, they won't be able to exchange the salt.
There are many water merchants in our family, and because of this incident, our business in Yangzhou has been affected.
But this is not the root cause!" Shen Erbao glanced at Qin Yanru and did not continue.
Zhu Jun patted Qin Yanru and said, "Go down and wait."
"Yes, the slave is downstairs. Mr. Six is ready, just call the slave!" Qin Yanru got up and went downstairs, knowing that the next words were not something she could hear.
After Qin Yanru left, Shen Erbao continued: "The magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture is called Tong Quan. To be precise, Tong Quan is also in charge of the Salt Envoy Department, which can be said to be a very powerful position."
"Oh, this is rare. He is a transfer envoy from the capital of the third rank and concurrently serves as the magistrate of Yangzhou of the fourth rank. This person is quite capable!" Zhu Jun said.
It stands to reason that the rank of the salt transshipment department in these two Huaidu areas is half a level higher than that of the prefect's yamen, and because the salt field is the main pillar industry of the country, it is even more important.
Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. As the saying goes, the magistrate of Yangzhou is worth one hundred thousand dollars in three years.
Although Yangzhou today is far inferior to what it used to be, it should not be underestimated. The oil and water must be extremely rich.
Moreover, the Yangzhou prefect was one of the few people who could directly present the memorial to the emperor alone, and his status was inherently higher than other prefects.
Two powers in one, this child's power is extraordinary.
"Yes, this man is from Tongjia Town in eastern Zhejiang. Tongjia Town is a famous Confucian town in the south of the Yangtze River. This man's elder brother, named Tong Li, built the Shijing Jingshe and collected hundreds of volumes of the Six Classics. He is a very famous bachelor.
In Tongjia Town, there are more than 30,000 people with the surname Tong alone, which is really impressive.
Therefore, the Tong family is also very prestigious in eastern Zhejiang.
When His Majesty was in rebellion, everyone in the Tong family reduced their clothes and went on a diet. Therefore, Tong Quan gained His Majesty's trust.
These are what my dad said.
In addition, the people behind the children's rights movement are from Zhejiang Province, so... plus they are adding fuel to the flames..."
Zhu Jun suddenly understood, "So it turns out that the people behind this are from the East Zhejiang people. I thought they were really a breeze, but I didn't expect that they would steal the richest place in the world without saying a word."
In fact, it is a general trend that the center of gravity of the world is moving southward.
The eight hundred miles of Guanzhong are indeed fertile, but after thousands of years of cultivation, they are no longer what they used to be.
All said and done, it is still a word of benefit.
"The reason they are making things difficult for the Shen family is because they want the Shen family to take sides, right?"
"Your Highness is wise!" Shen Erbao nodded, "The foundation of our Shen family is still in the east of Zhejiang, so sometimes we can't help it. But now, the Shen family has been merged into the Wu Prince's Mansion, and if we join the east Zhejiang lineage, we will It's no longer appropriate.
Moreover, tens of thousands of taels of silver have to be handed over every year.
All this money has to go through His Highness, so it is naturally impossible to hand it over.
Last year, we didn't pay the money, so... they started to punish us.
Yangzhou is just one of them, our business in eastern Zhejiang has been severely suppressed.
However, with His Highness, they don’t dare to go too far, but it is necessary to stumble in secret.”
"The germination of capital has emerged so quickly, and it is the germination of capital caused by the collusion between officials and businessmen. The officials have nothing to do, they are high and mighty, but they demand the worship of the world."
Zhu Jun shook his head. No wonder the Ming Dynasty in another time and space was consumed by party struggles. How ridiculous that a huge country could not collect five million taels of tax revenue.
There is collusion between government and businessmen, capital has sprouted, and the country has nothing to do with them.
The first to bear the brunt are the eight red-top businessmen who betray their country and seek glory.
Never expect capital to have a conscience.
Therefore, while indulging capital, we must also curb the throat of capital and strangle them. Otherwise, a giant beast will be born.
Only in Yangzhou, Zhu Jun saw the clues. So what will he see after going to eastern Zhejiang?
I'm afraid the roots have long since rotted away, right?
Therefore, it is necessary to collect commercial taxes, and it is also necessary for officials and gentry to pay taxes together.
Corruption must be strictly investigated.
Only by keeping them on tenterhooks can we suppress these people to death.
"You have done a good job, but next time something like this happens, you must tell me immediately." Zhu Jun said: "Don't make the decision without authorization. Once you get involved in something bad, I will be very passive if I don't know about it.
Once I know, I can start dealing with them."
"Yes, Your Highness, please keep your humble position in mind."
"Get up and continue eating!" Zhu Jun said.
"The people from the Inspection Department..."
"Let them go away and settle the accounts with them later," Zhu Jun said.
Hearing this, Shen Erbao gained confidence. He had been extremely frustrated for the past six months. Now it's better. His Highness has taken action and must kill those people.
"Yes, I understand." Shen Erbao nodded, stood up and went down to give instructions to his servants.
Zhu Jun was thinking about whether to write a memorial to his eldest brother.
I still have to write, let’s talk about it later.
Anyway, it still takes a long time, so I’ll pick it up slowly.
After taking care of these people, it's time to wipe out the pirates in Ningbo Prefecture.
Not long after, Qin Yanru came up and sat on Zhu Jun's lap again, but Shen Erbao was too sensible to come up.
He was not qualified to see the erotic scenes in the attic.
But in another courtyard of the Shen family, Inspector Zhao of the Inspection Department led a group of brothers to eat and drink here, and they were very happy.
"Sir, how much money do you think the Shen family will give this time?"
"It depends on whether the Shen family is sensible or not. If they are sensible, we will come over every now and then to check on them. If they are not sensible, our people will make trouble for them every day." Don't look at it, Zhao Xingjian is just a ninth-grade Sesame official, and The main responsibility of the inspection team is to be responsible for the public security of each salt field and to "take charge of patrols and arrests of thieves and traitors."
