Chapter 953: Shipping Silver by Sea
In nature, this matter is no different from being executed first and then being reported.
However, Wang Yongguang, the Minister of War of Nanjing, had a very interesting attitude towards this matter and said to the Minister of the Assistant Cui Zhijia: "This is a good thing."
Mr. Cui went to Liyang to pay for labor expenses and said this to Eunuch Wei.
"Why is it a good thing?" Eunuch Wei was a little puzzled.
Mr. Cui laughed and said, "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come."
Eunuch Wei didn't like Cui Laozi's way of speaking like a cumshot, so he wanted to ask for advice from his children.
Mr. Cui had no distinction in his teachings, so he expressed the mystery of Lord Shangshu.
But it was a happy thing for everyone.
The three camps of Nandu were originally unbearable. The past civil officials of the garrison had thought about rectifying the matter, but because of the matter, they involved the garrison officials and were related to the personal interests of the nobles of the Nandu families, they made great efforts to rectify the matter, and finally they were superficial.
There is no way, the Nandu garrison and the nobles have been in conflict for more than two hundred years, and they have long had a community of interests. How could a "flying official" of the Nanjing army be rectified with one or two kung fu?
Now, it is the best opportunity in two hundred years!
You should know that the officers of the Shenji Camp switched to Eunuch Wei, which means that a considerable number of "conservative" forces in the Shenji Camp alone were uprooted.
In other words, conservative forces are corrupt forces.
Only when the corrupt forces are swept away can the civil servants in the garrison be able to truly interfere in the camp affairs and rectify the garrison. In this way, they can truly have an influence on the garrison in the Nandu and gain control.
So, how could Wang Yongguang, a soldier from Nanjing, turn against Eunuch Wei?
To put it bluntly, this soldier even wanted Eunuch Wei to pack up all the food, drinking and blood from the three camps.
The inner guard Liu Chaoyong would not object to it.
In addition to being the same as Wang Yongguang, the reason is more beneficial and beneficial.
One carrot and one pit, you, Eunuch Wei, took the officers away. Who will take over the vacant seat?
The only unlucky person is Xu Hongji, the garrison minister of the garrison, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be overthrown by the Nanjing Ministry of War and the Inner Garrison Hall.
Mr. Cui kindly gave him a gift to Eunuch Wei, advising him not to even let the people from the Shenwu Camp be returned, and the military and generals of the various officials should also delay the delay as much as possible. Even if they are released, they should not be put back at once, and they should be divided into batches and days.
In this way, there will be a large number of people in the Ministry of War and the Inner Garrison Hall to cover the vacancy instead of falling into the hands of the ministers.
My father-in-law was right when he thought about it. He must have let him go, but he never said when to let him go and how much to let him go.
It's right to hear what Cui Laozi said. Wang Yongguang would never make things difficult for him, Eunuch Wei. But with the benefit of Nanjing Ministry of War, this matter was passed by the court.
In terms of procedures, the Nandu affairs of the garrison, the eunuchs, and the civil servants of the garrison have the right to write a letter.
But the only one civil servant who could really listen to the court was the one who could guard the court.
As for the heroes and eunuchs, they are responsible to the emperor, not to the Beijing court.
The answer is obvious to the Beijing Ministry of War and the Cabinet.
If Wang Yongguang could speak for himself, the nature of this matter would definitely become very attractive.
At any time, people care about what they say.
The same thing, if you say it from different people, the difference will be infinite.
Eunuch Wei smiled and personally sent Mr. Cui out of the hall. In addition to paying the labor fee, he also paid another 5,000 taels, but asked Mr. Cui to transfer it to Mr. Wang for him.
He didn't even hit the gift-giver, and his father-in-law believed that Shangshu Wang would read his own good things.
As for Duke Wei Xu Hongji, my father-in-law believed that he would understand that the eunuchs' dictatorship was powerful.
In the afternoon, Eunuch Wei was busy with two things, one was money and the other was people.
The specific profits of this trip to Nandu have already come out.
Converted into silver, a total of 1.36 million taels.
Among them, about 400,000 taels are land deeds and housing deeds, as well as some industries.
My father-in-law is too lazy to engage in the secondary or tertiary industries now, so he asked Song Sibao to sell these things as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter if the price is cheaper.
How to divide the difficult things.
If you give less, you will not impress the emperor. If you give more, you will not impress yourself.
Finally, my father-in-law gritted his teeth and decided to divide the 46% share.
He is four, the emperor is six.
Therefore, the bento was transferred to the capital's treasury of no less than 700,000 taels.
Seven hundred thousand taels are more than eight million jin, which is equivalent to about four thousand tons. (Ming Dynasty, one jin of sixteen taels)
With such a huge sum of money, you will definitely not be able to go by land, you have to go by water.
There are only two waterways, one is canal transportation and the other is seaways.
The safest thing is definitely the canal transportation. There are troops garrisons in the canal and the governor's office, so there will definitely be no accident. This time, it is a peaceful and prosperous era, so how can anyone dare to rob Hua Chengang? In the late Chongzhen period, the canal transportation has never been stopped, let alone robbed people.
However, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were transported in the canal at one time, which was too ostentatious and too eye-catching.
Eunuch Wei did not want the things he did in Nandu to cause a stir, causing a second round of public opinion storm, so he finally decided to go to sea transportation.
The Royal Navy is responsible for the transportation and takes this opportunity to familiarize itself with the North and South Seas.
If time goes by, my father-in-law wants to go back to Beijing.
I have a life outside and miss you a little homesick.
After deducting the 700,000 taels of 700,000 taels that were deposited to the emperor, there must be at least 500,000 taels of 600,000 taels of 600,000 taels of 700,000 taels of 700,000 taels of 700,000 taels of 700,000 taels of 7
The next day, the managers of the leaders of various prefectures who had been in Liyang for many days were finally arranged to take the people, but each family could only get fifty people back first.
After the news was sent back to Nandu, some of the ministers didn't care, some seemed to know that this must have happened, and they had been mentally prepared for a long time, while others were so angry that they stomped their feet and cursed, but in addition to cursing and venting their anger, they could only make up for it.
After all, Eunuch Wei agreed to let the person go, but he didn't say he wouldn't let him go.
On that day, the honorary officials of the Nandu organized two armies, with more than 6,000 troops. In addition to the casualties and wounded and fled back, the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army captured more than 5,400 people. After releasing more than 1,200 people, all the remaining people were taken back to the special zone.
Deputy General Li of Shenji Camp performed well. When they could not return to Nandu, they used their own methods and pulled out hundreds of people from Shenji Camp in the city. They said that they would do it under Eunuch Wei in the future and have more manpower and easier to do things.
This is on the surface, but my private thought is that I will bring more staff and this official is also doing a down-to-earth job.
No matter which dynasty or generation, the prerequisite for getting promoted and wealth is that you have someone under your command.
How could Eunuch Wei not know their little thoughts, but he was happy to see it happen.
In addition to the personal guard camp, Cao Wenyao led the second battalion of the infantry and the horse team to escort the prisoners and silver, and returned the weapons and supplies. His father-in-law rectified the iron field affairs in Liyang.
In fact, his ex-Iron Court Xu Yuan did a very good job, and his rules and regulations were well-known. Eunuch Wei did not need any big moves. Just reduce the wages set by Xu Yuan and increase the wages, and then he could fully achieve the hearts of these miners.
Eunuch Wei’s real rectification action was to establish a mine guard among the miners.
"The iron farm belongs to our family and yours!"
