"Okay, so be it, but the general remembers that this time we gave the money to thank the general for his life-saving grace. If the general wants to do business without capital, even if it means risking the punishment of beheading, I will do it." Take your copy."
Seeing that the other party had already gone down a level, Zhang Zhisheng said hurriedly.
“Don’t worry, we are not those civil servants who talk the same thing and do the same thing.
From today on, you and I are strangers. From now on, you will continue to be your local rich man, and I will still be the general of the Ming Dynasty... "
"Okay, it's settled."
..... ,
"This group of people are really rich, looking at the 150,000 silver coins in Qiming Bank's banknotes in their hands." The leading general couldn't help but sigh.
You must know that the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers in the Ming Dynasty was only 1 silver coin. Counting other expenses, an ordinary soldier only needs to consume 3 silver coins a month on average.
An elite only consumes 5 silver coins a month.
150,000 silver coins are enough to consume 50,000 ordinary soldiers or 30,000 elites for a month.
This is just the income from a hostage nest.
Under the wise leadership of the master, there are at least 60 such hostage nests.
Even if the other income is only half of this, it still adds up to 5 million silver coins. It’s equivalent to one month’s current tax revenue in Ming Dynasty.
You must know that the tax mentioned here refers to the Ming Dynasty commercial tax after the reform.
It's not three to five times worse than what I thought before.
With this money, the owner can fully realize the freedom of roasting a whole lamb.
Thinking of the owner, every time he wants to eat roasted whole lamb, he needs to consider whether the budget for this month exceeds the standard.
Sometimes, I would rather not eat meat, but also use the money from my own treasury to ensure the food of the army officers and soldiers. This general will feel inexplicably sad.
But seeing that His Majesty is worried about the future of Ming Dynasty, and those with vested interests, big fish and big meat, just don't care.
He even makes trouble for his master from time to time, which is unbearable.
The reason why I directly blackmailed these people without the master's permission was just to share the master's worries.
..
With Zhu Youjian's instructions, the kidnapping case came to an end quickly.
Countless landlords and officials tried to rescue them.
Those slaves were escorted to Beijing by the army.
"Your Majesty, those Jiannu slaves have been pressed into the prison of the Ministry of Justice. I don't know when the interrogation will start." Lu Xiangsheng, who Congcong rushed back to the capital, went to court without taking a rest and asked in the court.
In his opinion, the reason why so many Jian slaves were able to infiltrate into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. It has not been discovered yet. The "contribution" of the traitors cannot be ignored, but it also shows that there is a big problem with Ming's border defense.
Border defense is related to the safety of hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. Don’t ignore it! Otherwise, the disaster in Liaodong will happen again.
"I have sent people to investigate the border defense matter. You can just focus on investigating the traitors in Ming Dynasty.
This is the golden order to activate the Jinyi Guards and Secret Guards. This token can mobilize all the Jinyi Guards and Secret Guards. In addition, 3,000 Beijing troops can be mobilized.
This matter is related to the safety of Ming Dynasty, so you can feel free to investigate. It just so happens that Jin Yiwei's imperial prison is now empty.
Anyone who dares to stop him will be arrested directly by me. "
Zhu Youjian said directly on the dragon throne.
It's all a show. Although he is the mastermind behind this incident, the traitors must take the blame for this matter.
In Zhu Youjian's view, there are 6 kinds of sins among humans that are not worthy of forgiveness.
1. Unfilial son
2 traitors
3 criminals
4. Rapist
5 Corrupt officials
6 Liar.
Since you have become a traitor and I don’t take the blame for you, then who will take the blame?
It shouldn't be said that these traitors have the honor of taking the blame for me, so you are lucky.
"Your Majesty," Lu Xiangsheng said.
All the officials in the court remained silent for fear of being called upon by His Majesty.
For 7 years, nearly 7 years, the Jinyiwei and the Secret Guards have been firmly in the hands of His Majesty. Anyone who dares to covet the strength of the Jinyiwei and the Secret Guards will receive cordial greetings from His Majesty.
Even when Liaodong and North Korea were recovered at the beginning, and Annan was later recovered, no one was given the right to dispatch royal guards and secret guards.
But now His Majesty has given Lu Xiangsheng the right to use the Royal Guards and Secret Guards, which shows how much anger is gathering under His Majesty's calm face.
If you come out and look for trouble at this time, is it because you think you won't die quickly enough?
"If you have something to report, if nothing happens, leave the court."
After giving Wang Chengen a wink, Wang Chengen understood and shouted the common language for retreating from the court.
..
That night, in the prison of the Criminal Department of the capital, the bottom layer of the dungeon was slowly being lifted up.
Then a head wrapped in a black turban sighed.
After seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, he pushed away the stone and walked out quietly.
Then the second and third men in black emerged from the hole.
After a while, 20 men in black came out.
These men in black are wrapped in black clothes.
In addition, it was relatively dark here. Although there were patrols passing by during the period, they did not find these men in black at all.
"A total of 103 prisoners were sent to the capital.
According to intelligence, those Jian slaves are currently on this floor.
The prison is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. In addition to the two jailers at the entrance of the floor, there will be soldiers patrolling this floor once every half hour in the evening.
Now that they have just passed, what we have to do is to send out 5 people and knock out the two jailers first.
Then in one stick of incense, those Jian slaves were eliminated. "
The leading man in black said softly.
In order to facilitate the settlement of these slaves, Zhu Youjian directly ordered the cells on this floor to be emptied under the pretext of avoiding collusion in confessions.
Strict patrol tasks have also been formulated.
That way, no one will show up when they shouldn't.
After a simple assignment of tasks, the 20 men in black were divided into four groups.
The first group of people sneaked towards the cell door quietly.
In order to prevent someone from hijacking the prison. The Tianlao is divided into multiple large cells, and each large cell becomes a secret room once the iron door is closed.
No matter how powerful the outsiders are, they won't be able to get in without two sticks of incense.
The only thing to do to eliminate the opponent now is to ensure that the door can be locked smoothly. Otherwise, if the guards outside come in, let alone 20 people, even 200 people may not be able to withstand it.
Soon five men in black approached the prison door.
At this time, two jailers were sitting on a bench at the main entrance of Tianyao, drinking tea and talking nonsense.
Although His Majesty is cracking down on corruption, it does not affect those at the bottom.
After all, unlike those big bosses, these little pawns cannot be greedy even if they want to.
Even because His Majesty organized many of the Yamen servants into the so-called establishment.
After wages were paid by the court, without the exploitation of "middlemen", the low-level jailers and their small lives were better than before.
