What surprised Chen Ze was that there were many people recommended by Sun Fugui.
Most of them are at the grassroots level of the yamen, and there are also small and middle-level cadres.
The collection of fire consumption is an unspoken rule that has existed in all dynasties. It is just a matter of collecting more and less.
Sun Fugui himself has collected it several times.
When people from big families commit crimes, if they go too far, they will naturally arouse public anger, so they always go to the government to deal with it. People at the bottom can still taste some sweetness occasionally.
This kind of fire consumption must be collected even if it is not necessary, so as not to be targeted when the time comes.
To a certain extent, it is even more valuable to be able to maintain the kindness deep in one's heart in such an environment and not be blinded by wealth and power.
Chen Ze asked Sun Fugui to compile a roster, which would be handed over to Lu Qingyun and others for reference.
After all, Chen Ze has no specific experience in government affairs. Who can continue to be appointed and where they can be used to maximize their effectiveness, etc. These all need to be distinguished and arranged by people like Lu Qingyun who have real practical and rich work experience.
If you only know a little bit, try not to interfere if you can.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Chen Ze only needs the general direction to develop according to the expected path.
But Chen Ze didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
Sun Shan actually knew who was doing the private mining business.
This matter is really hard to find out, because no blacksmith is stupid enough to dare to say that he bought a private mine, and generally no blacksmith would buy a private mine.
Decapitation is a serious crime!
Sun Shan knew about this because his name was Zhu Jiahui when he was young.
The conditions of the Zhu family were not that good at first. Zhu Jiahui left Qingzhou to work hard a few years ago. He didn't know what kind of business he did. After making money, he bought a compound and moved away.
Of course, Zhu Jiahui is the kind of person who is a little bit arrogant. He wants to show off when he makes money. He invited Sun Shan and others to have a meal before, but he spilled the beans when they got drunk.
He didn't explicitly say that he was engaged in private mining business, but revealed his romantic past, and even raised a little girl outside. Everyone asked who was real or fake, and Zhu Jiahui drank it and said he was from Nuzhou. Beautiful girl, very exciting.
Others didn't take it seriously, but when Sun Shan heard this, he wondered what kind of serious business Zhu Jiahui had done that could buy a big house in one go?
When it comes to Nuzhou, there is a high probability that private mining is done there.
After all, the area around the Heishui River in Nuzhou was originally a bunch of black mines.
It can't be banned at all.
After many years, a complete chain of interests has been formed, and corruption is rampant in the Chu court. Nuzhou may have already been dealt with from top to bottom.
The black mines there are all copycat models. Each copycat can easily have thousands of people and a large number of private soldiers.
It's not just private mining that's hot, but also human trafficking.
Male slaves from all over the country may be sold to the Heishui River area in Nuzhou to work as illegal miners.
This was not the result of the Great Chu, but the chaos that appeared at the end of the Great Sui Dynasty. It has not been improved in any way for decades.
The consumer market for private mining is not small.
As long as the country is in chaos and someone wants to rebel, Heishuihe will have business.
In addition, some of the private soldiers of each family were reported as one thousand, but in reality they were four or five thousand. The extra soldiers and weapons had to be purchased through their own channels.
The crazy ones may sell the mines directly to Jin, Liao, Nanman, pirates, etc. Anyway, as long as they give money, they dare to do any business.
Zhu Jiahui probably plays a role like a distributor.
If you buy a private mine from Heishui River and find your own market, the risks and benefits are naturally proportional.
Sun Shan and Zhu Jiahui had been playing together since childhood. Their relationship was there, and they originally planned to keep it in their stomachs for the rest of their lives. Besides, he had no evidence to prove that Zhu Jiahui was in the black mining business.
What he never expected was that Zhu Jiahui took the initiative to come to the Sun family to talk.
He probably realized that he might have said something he shouldn't have said because he was drunk that night, so he invited Sun Shan to dinner to test his tone.
At that time, Sun Shan completely pretended not to know anything. He broke into a cold sweat behind his back and pretended to be calm.
Otherwise, Zhu Jiahui must have ambushed his troops at that time, ready to kill people and silence them at any time.
Fortunately, he dealt with it and returned home. The more Sun Shan thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
I took you for granted, you let it slip, and I helped you keep the secret. I was planning on letting it rot in my stomach, but you actually wanted to kill me?
After Sun Fugui learned about this, he realized that Zhu Jiahui was not a good person. After thinking about it, he decided to pretend to be ignorant.
Can't catch it!
Zhu Jiahui knew almost everything about the Sun family, and it was easy to take revenge.
Now that Chen Ze was asking about the private mine, the Sun family hesitated for a moment before speaking.
First of all, Chen Ze's attitude was sincere enough. He personally came to the home of a small class leader to invite him. Needless to say, he was sincere.
Secondly, Zhu Jiahui is a time bomb to the Sun family, and I wish Chen Ze could step in.
After finding out the location of the Zhu family's residence, Chen Ze asked Bai Hupao to send out invitations early the next morning.
When Zhu Jiahui got the invitation, everyone was stunned.
The prince invites me to dinner! ?
Invitations have been sent out, which leaves almost no choice.
Must go.
If you don't go, everyone will be executed.
But you may not be able to come back if you go.
Zhu Jiahui was distracted for a moment and quickly called all his cronies over.
Almost all are desperadoes.
"The Dongchuang Incident has happened." Zhu Jiahui told him with a gloomy face: "If I don't come back, I ask all brothers to fight their way out and send my son out of Qingzhou no matter what, so that I can leave a heir for the Zhu family."
"Could it be the news revealed by the Sun family? I have already said that I will not do anything until I find an opportunity to kill his family members and everything will be fine!"
Zhu Jiahui shook his head: "How can the Sun family be related to the prince?"
"The Sun family is kind and righteous to me, the Zhu family. Don't harm other people's lives." Zhu Jiahui said hurriedly: "It was me who made a mistake while drinking and caused all the brothers to suffer."
"Why are you still talking about this now? We are all people who have been through hell and back. Life and death have long been indifferent. It doesn't matter even if I accompany you to the Prince's Mansion."
"Don't be impulsive." Zhu Jiahui thought for a while and then said: "I have thought about this matter over and over again, and there should be a change."
"How to say?"
Zhu Jiahui said solemnly: "The prince may want to do business with me!"
"Huh? Could this be a joke?"
"If you want to arrest me and hold me accountable, there is no need to go to such unnecessary lengths as sending invitations." Zhu Jiahui said hurriedly: "My Zhu family is not a powerful family, only my business is different."
A group of people looked strange.
"His Zhennan Palace controls all the official mines in the eight southern states and has as many weapons as he wants. Is it necessary for him to buy private mines?"
"Could it be that he wants to rebel against me?"
"Isn't it impossible? Is the imperial court instigating rebellion?"
"Tsk tsk, what kind of dutiful son is this..."
