60. Qianzhuang explodes, and all the people cry
"The Huai Prince's Mansion illegally occupied 6,712 mu of land, and 11,756 mu of land that was forcibly seized and annexed."
"Forcibly robbed a woman from a civilian 37 times, slaughtered slaves 581 times, and 24 related murders."
"In the first year of Jiajing, the salt desolation of Huguang was in the Huguang period. The salt merchants of Huaiwang Mansion and Raozhou were hoarding the goods. Regardless of the court's policy of stabilizing salt prices, they used their power to cover up the salt merchants and retaliated against the salt merchants who dared to sell at low prices. Through monopoly sales, they made a profit of millions of taels..."
...
Judging from the information of the plaintiffs, the Huai Prince's Mansion is simply unforgivable.
The people's homes are only a few acres of land, and they have to seize nearly 20,000 acres of land. How many people have to be displaced? Not to mention forcing the robbery of the women of the people and hurting slaves these things, such as the anger and resentment of people.
If these crimes are true, even if they were not done by the current King Huai, Zhang Zhixiang felt that there would be no problem in finding the Prince Huai Mansion.
You can't just enjoy rights or obligations, right?
Xu Pengju looked around with the information for a while, sighed and said, "Zhu Youqing may have ordered the people in the mansion to return these things, and maybe he will give compensation."
"But he was the concubine's son after all, so the noble slaves in the mansion would not be so obedient, and the legitimate mother of the superior would not let him do it."
"What a pity."
As a family of two dukes, Xu Pengju was the top noble in the Ming Dynasty. He knew very well about these dirty things in the wealthy family, and there were many things that the rich slaves bullied the master.
In some mansions, slaves are richer than masters.
As for those cases, there will be no accidents when doing these things. It is amazing that it will make a big deal. If it comes to the emperor, it will be scolded and will be changed. It will not be a "big thing" and will not be reduced to the vassal states.
But now as a chess piece, it's awful.
"Will King Huai be made into an iron case?"
"I can't escape. The methods of frame-up out of thin air are too low. Most of the cases they dare to report are true. This time, the real plaintiffs who followed the King of Huai to Yingtian Mansion. These people are very smart. They did not say that they were witnesses, but only said that they were friends and distant relatives. However, when the case was described, which village or that family could tell clearly."
"What should we do?"
Zhang Zhixiang did not have the idea of helping King Huai to cleanse the crime, but this was not only an issue that affected King Huai, but if Yang Tinghe succeeded, he would attack Jiajing. If he overthrew the big ritual proposal, Jiajing's prestige would be wiped out and turned into a de facto puppet, and he was also an emperor who was "unrighteous and unsatisfied" and was punished by Taizu's appearance.
Zhang Zhixiang and his team wanted to centralize power and then innovate the Ming Dynasty to deal with the disaster in the Little Glacier, which would completely go bankrupt.
It would be better to say that it would go bankrupt from now on.
Zhengde's lineage has already been extinct. If the throne of Jiajing is not justified, then all emperors in the future will lose their due authority. The emperor will become a person in name only in the Ming Dynasty!
It does not mean that the world must need an emperor, but that the Ming Dynasty is now diversified enough. To achieve the centralization required, there is only one choice.
Before the small glacier arrives and has a significant impact.
Top-down reform is the best. It is not a time of troubled times. The bottom-up revolution is not very successful. It is hard to say how many people will die in a chaotic world that can rebel, but at least forty or fifty years will have to wait.
"You can't wait anymore, you must start with Chen Tao's case as soon as possible."
"When King Huai was taken to Yingtian Mansion, he was completely passive. The influence of a prince was not comparable to that of a censor. The people were fanatical about the judgment of powerful people, and they were top-level powerful people."
"Those people will deliberately incite public opinion."
"At that time, Man Yingtian Prefecture will call for the execution of King Huai."
Xu Pengju could see the danger and immediately started Chen Tao's case. When the yamen runner brought Chen Tao's wife, concubines and servants over, the witnesses who exposed Chen Tao also appeared.
The case is gradually becoming clear.
Chen Tao, the censor of the city, colluded with Hou Jie, the commander of the Xicheng military commander, to monopolize bulk commodities by blocking the goods from each yard in Xicheng. After printing paper money privately, he linked the monopoly commodities with paper money. Merchants from each yard must use their paper money to purchase goods.
After getting used to paper money in the market, I used it to lend money.
In just two years, paper money began to spread to other urban areas of Yingtianfu, and even opened money shops to absorb depositors' funds. Then, when withdrawing money, only paper money was given, but because of interest, many people began to store money in money shops...
The method of making money by making money from nothing can lead to huge profits!
Everyone is familiar with the things like paper money. There was Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty also made it. During the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty treasure money was also made, but without exception, the credit was broken due to excessive currency issuance.
The banknotes made by Chen Tao and others seem to summarize the experience of their predecessors, trying their best to control the excessive issuance of currency, and from the very beginning, they used monopoly materials to serve as anchors for banknotes.
After the banknotes are circulated and enough trust is gained.
It directly prints paper money for acquisition and acquisition. Its biggest function is to amplify the principal and expand it vigorously...
The above are not the most terrifying.
The most terrifying thing is that they used banknotes to absorb a large amount of gold and silver. If the banknotes run away, all of the banknotes will be turned into waste paper, and the wealth that the banknotes can sweep away is at least tens of millions of taels!
The witnesses and evidence show that the principal of Chen Tao and his bank had been fully spared, and there was almost no silver or materials to repay!
"Financial Scam."
This is Zhang Zhixiang’s first impression after reading this case, but he found it a bit ridiculous. Isn’t it better to run a credit-worthy currency than just making a fortune?
Then, he understood again.
This is what a group of corrupt officials did in private to make money. All the procedures were not legal. How could they dare to operate for a long time? It is the best choice to make a fortune and run away.
However.
Such a big case can be done by a commander of the city inspector and the commander of the Xicheng Military Command? How many officials have to be involved behind this? How can the deceived people and merchants give up and not cause a lot of controversy?
He is worthy of being the original team of the West Factory, and his skill is really ruthless.
The Nanjing court's Qixin is used to deal with the capital and the emperor. In the group, all parties must be snatching their own interests. Yang Tinghe probably didn't expect that this incident would cause such a big thunder...
certainly.
It usually exploded, and the censor Chen Tao and the commander of the Xicheng Military Command Hou Jie were thrown out. After beheading Caishikou, he would give some pensions to the people. The matter would be almost solved.
It's different now, there are enemies staring at each other and biting...
"Import the whole city immediately! Seize all Datong money houses, and let the people holding paper money go to the government office to register, and tell them that the seized silver will be paid first to the registered person!"
"Xu Lang! Take two teams of servants directly to the Xicheng Military Commander and tie Hou Jie to me!"
"The yamen runners over there drove away all the people who sued King Huai. The case has been registered, why are you still here? King Huai has not come to the hall again. Now I want to examine the case of Datong Money House!"
Chapter completed!
