Among the crowd, there are also small merchants and hawkers who are constantly shouting about their own products. Adding a festive touch to the noisy crowd! Needless to say, the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the road were full of people sitting near the windows! Even some temporary houses are rented by people just to join in the fun!
Faced with this situation, Xu Guogong was helpless and had to temporarily deploy a group of soldiers to strengthen the protection on both sides of the road. Tianjin police officers went out in large numbers to search for any unrest among the crowd.
The docks in Nanjing have been cleared, and huge ships are staying on the docks. This time, the person who came to escort the money was none other than the navy!
For the sake of safety, Liu Haojia directly transferred two squadrons with a stroke of his pen. This cannot be said to be too cautious. After all, his boat contains nearly two years of Ming Dynasty's tax revenue. God knows how many people will rush towards him with red eyes, no matter how careful they are, they will never be too cautious.
At this time, a large number of convoys and porters were gathering outside the military camp, and the Jinyi guards were calling and inspecting them one by one. After the inspection was completed, the gate of the military camp was finally opened, and groups of porters entered the camp under the supervision of Jin Yiwei.
After about another quarter of an hour, the first carriage finally came out! The crowd onlookers burst into an uproar when they saw the four silver boxes placed on the carriage! Sure enough, the military camp is now full of gold and silver!
Because there was so much gold and silver to be transported, not enough carriages could be collected at the moment. So even handcarts were allowed to be used. In this way, boxes of gold and silver were loaded onto various vehicles and transported out, heading straight to the dock along the smooth street!
When the first car arrived at the dock, the navy soldiers who had been waiting there immediately began to check the seal, and then directed the porters to deliver the silver box to the ship. Whenever a ship has enough cargo, it will pull anchor and set sail in the middle of the river.
When the convoy returned, all the onlookers saw a continuous stream of carriages and carts appearing before returning to the original route. So there were two continuous teams on this road, one was a team filled with heavy silver boxes. The other one is the convoy returning empty-handed.
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Mom! Does this convoy connect the military camp and the dock? How much gold and silver are there!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly, thinking it was true! In fact, this person is really right! If you look down from a high altitude now, you will find that the two teams really connect the military camp and the dock!
The entire operation of loading silver lasted for almost a whole day, and it was not until evening that all the silver was completed. Then the remaining ships took all the Jinyiwei with them, merged with the fleet in the middle of the river, and slowly sailed downstream.
Seeing the boat go away, the people watching the excitement felt disappointed! Such excitement is rare in a century! But the most sad and disappointed ones are actually the porters! Because they have done a lot of work and watched a lot of excitement these days, they handle tens of thousands of taels of silver every day. These things are enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives!
Moreover, although many people who worked for Jinyiwei were beaten, they were in charge of food and were given enough money, so what did they plan to do? They are all thick-skinned men anyway, and they won’t die after being hit twice! It's just that there are no such good customers anymore!
When the fleet arrived in Tianjin, it naturally caused another sensation! Everyone was shocked by the mountain of silver boxes piled on the dock! Fortunately, Tianjin had already prepared a large number of carriages to form a super large team to rush to the capital. The Wu'an Army was responsible for escorting the team all the way, which was enough to ensure the safe arrival of the silver.
When the convoy arrived at the capital, as expected, it once again attracted thousands of people to watch! Because the speed of the convoy could not keep up with the speed of news transmission, the people in the capital had already learned the news about the convoy from people from Tianjin.
At the same time, there were a large number of officials participating in the crowd of onlookers. However, they were not wearing official uniforms, they were all wearing civilian clothes. And they are not here to watch the fun. They are here to determine the authenticity of the news!
Because according to past rules, all property confiscated by Jin Yiwei must be put into the inner treasury. If it is true as rumored. This batch of silver amounts to tens of millions, and they must find a way to get this money out of the inner treasury!
Such a large amount of money is used to supplement
Isn’t the salary of a senior official good? Wouldn’t it be better to do more projects to make it easier for everyone to pump water from the middle? If it goes into the inner treasury for nothing, what's the use of the emperor if it's cheap?
And there were some people in the crowd with memorials in their arms, watching the direction of the carriage. Once the carriage enters the palace, they will immediately impeach Liu Haojia. As for the various crimes!
First of all, a piece of greed is a must! Whenever Jin Yiwei seizes the prisoner's property, they will always intervene to make money! So they absolutely do not believe that Liu Haojia will not move a penny!
Then there was the impeachment of the foundation and the mass executions, which caused a shock in the officialdom! What do these officials fear most? It’s the Jin Yiwei who really cleans up the officialdom! If this is the case, no one will live! After all, no one wants to live in the Hongwu period! Now I have nothing to do, drink tea and listen to music, how pleasant it is! Therefore, we must put down the idea of Jin Yiwei’s revival!
These people believe that all civil servants have the same idea as them. As soon as their memorial is published, a large number of people will follow to impeach the Jinyiwei, completely discredit them, knock them down, and kill them!
At this time, most of the soldiers gathered outside the city, and only a small number of soldiers escorted the silver chariot into the capital gate. Not long after they marched, the convoy slowly split into two teams amid the crowd's attention and admiration!
The convoy of the brigade entered the Ministry of Finance directly. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who had already received the news, stood in front of the door to greet them, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes! He stood at the yamen gate and continuously ordered his men to count the items, check the seals, and put them into storage according to grade. He was very busy!
There was another convoy that was much smaller, but it rushed directly to the palace. It was Zhang Jia who stood at the entrance of the palace to greet the convoy. Seeing this scene, many people who wanted to impeach Jin Yiwei had to sigh and stop thinking! Because the bulk of the money has been sent to the Ministry of Accounts, the civil servant group has received such a large sum of money, and everyone who passes it will get some benefits! If you go to impeach Jin Yiwei at this time, you will be out of luck!
When Jin Yiwei counterattacks, no one will speak for him! So they could only watch Liu Haojia on horseback rush to the palace leisurely.
