Feng Ziying nodded,
Seeing that Feng Ziying was flawless, Jia Yucun was also sighing in his heart. This boy has matured. It is no luck to be able to sit in the position of right minister of the Ministry of War. In addition to being able to fight, he is also able to deal with this aspect with ease. He really cannot be underestimated.
other side.
Jia Yucun said tentatively.
Feng Ziying smiled softly, "Brother Yucun, please don't test it in front of me. Having said that, the court will definitely consider your meritorious service. In my opinion, it is very possible for you to move your position and leave Jinling Mansion before the end of the year."
Da, there is also a round of adjustments in the DPRK this time. Duke Liuji has entered the cabinet, Duke Dongxian has been appointed as the Minister of Rites, and it has not yet been decided who will take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. In addition, there are also several positions of ministers and deputy imperial envoys that are vacant.
Didn’t Brother Amemura think about it? "
What he said made Jia Yucun blush and his heart beat. This was exactly what he expected in his heart, but Jia Yucun also knew that his personal connections were still a little thin.
Among the seven cabinet ministers, Tang Mi probably does not have much say. Among the remaining five, except for Prime Minister Ye, Prime Minister Fang and Mr. Qi Ge have equal say in the matter, followed by Li Sancai, and Gu Bingqian again, but
None of these people have any friendship with each other.
Gao Panlong, the Minister of Civil Service, was of a serious character, and Jia Yucun also knew that he did not have a good impression on him, so after thinking about it, Jia Yucun became pessimistic about his future.
Jia Yucun pondered and said:
This is a show of merit for herself. It's a pity that she is not the Minister of Civil Affairs, but of course Feng Ziying will not pour cold water on the other party.
After hearing Feng Ziying's final promise, Jia Yucun's heart finally fell to the ground. With a smile on his face, he stood up and raised his glass with both hands:
Feng Ziying also stood up to avoid it and gave a toast in return, then sat down again.
Jia Yucun nodded slightly.
The Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, this group of Conglong Wuxun, after the confrontation between the north and the south, there was not much movement among the Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, but these four kings seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, waving flags and shouting,
Do your best to cheer and cheer.
Now that the general trend has been determined, these few people seem to have stepped into a void, and the civil servants can accept it. Even the generals such as Niu Wangsun and others will provide a way out as long as they hand over their military power. However, these four kings who are too eager to jump, the court
But there has been no attitude. It is only now that the imperial court has issued an order to take him into custody and wait for disposal.
Feng Ziying said calmly.
Jia Yucun's scalp became hairy
Ma, if we want to move the New Four, it will really cause huge waves.
Unable to help but lick his dry lips, Jia Yucun asked in a low voice:
Feng Ziying sighed,
The new four great masters are Zhen, Zhou, Hu and Tao.
The Zhen family ranks first, and its power and strength are self-evident. It is far stronger than the other three. Although the Taihe Bank it operates cannot compare with Haitong Bank, it is still considered the best among the Jiangnan banks. It is also involved in the salt industry.
, smuggling private salt has become an open secret.
The Zhou family has a monopoly on shipping on the Yangtze River. From Wuchang to Songjiang Prefecture where it enters the sea, the Zhou family's fleet monopolizes 30% of grain and oil transportation and 40% of general cargo transportation. The bulk cargo transportation business from the South Canal to Suzhou and Hangzhou is
The Zhou fleet also accounts for more than 30%.
The Hu family dealt in cloth. The three largest cloth shops in Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou were all owned by the Hu family, and the cloth used by the Nanjing government offices and the guards was basically monopolized by them.
The Tao family is the largest landowner in Southern Zhili, owning nearly 10,000 acres of land in Jinling Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture.
Jia Yucun pondered for a long time before saying: Jia Yucun has no choice but to think so.
Such a sharp sword cut down three towns in Jiangnan. Jiangnan no longer had a big pillar to support. Emperor Wan Tong had just ascended the throne and wanted to stabilize his throne. Besides, he was not willing to break up with the cabinet immediately.
Emperor Wan Tong also had to consider the issue of his son's succession in the future. He knew how many years he would live, so if the cabinet wanted to target the Jiangnan gentry, Emperor Wan Tong might not be able to stop it.
What's more, the imperial court's financial difficulties are also in front of everyone. Even Tang Mu and his wife have to face this problem when they join the cabinet.
Even if Jiangnan Tianfu was handed over immediately, it would still be difficult to solve the court's problems.
What's more, the Jiangnan land tax that should have been handed over in the past two years has long been used up by Nanjing. Now it is definitely impossible to ask Jiangnan to pay it over again. It will inevitably intensify conflicts and cause disputes.
In this case, rather than igniting widespread conflicts, it is better to take action in a targeted manner.
Feng Ziying's understatement made Fei Yucun feel chilled in his heart. It seemed that the imperial court knew the details of Nanjing and had its eyes on the New Four.
These guys still hope to escape by relying on Emperor Wan Tong's protection, which is simply a dream. If you four people don't come up with millions of taels of silver, I'm afraid your bones will have to be boiled out for you.
"There is also the Tao family. In the 33rd year of Yuanxi, the Tao family's land was less than 3,000 acres. In twenty years, it increased to 12,000 acres and 9,000 acres. They earned almost 500 acres of land every year.
How many landowners with 500 acres of land are there in the whole of Jiangnan? It just flowed into the Tao family's pocket. There is no plundering here? I remember that the Ministry of Justice of the imperial court filed no less than ten complaints against the Tao family, involving
There were no less than 20 lives lost, and the Ministry of Punishment repeatedly transferred them to the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, but over the years, it seemed that none of them had been investigated and implemented. Is this how the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment told the court? "
Feng Ziying smiled coldly and said: "As for the Hu family, look at the clothes of the guards in the prefectures of South Zhili and even the Jiang Waterproof Division.
, you know how much huge profits they made from it, and as far as I know, the official uniforms of the Nanjing Sixth Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the various prefectures in South Zhili were also covered by Hu's Silk and Satin House, right?"
These words caused cold sweat to run down Jia Yucun's spine.
Feng Ziying is well aware of these situations. Where are the sources of these information? The Metropolitan Procuratorate? Long Jinwei? The Ministry of Punishment?
You can figure it out with your feet. This time, the imperial court had already planned it. Any improvised ideas from the Ministry of War are just fooling around.
This is not only to solve the problems of the three towns in Jiangnan, but also to solve the problems among the Jiangnan gentry. Everything here will be uncovered and investigated, and if no one understands the truth,
You must become one of them, no matter you are a gentry, a civil servant, or a martial artist.
And this solution was obviously something the imperial court was happy to see. On the one hand, it would get rid of those who were against the imperial court, and on the other hand, it would also increase the income of the imperial court, making up for the shortfall caused by the previous wars. It seems that in the capital city before
