Wang Chonggu has been paying attention to this matter. As long as he is willing, he can always find out some clues. Soon he discovered that someone had indeed stocked up coal in advance. They were stocking up a large amount of coal in advance. They did not start stocking up coal after the Meishikou fire. ,this point is very important.
If we say that we are hoarding coal after the fire, it is understandable that we are optimistic about the short-term growth of coal. However, it is particularly strange to suddenly buy a large amount before the fire. Of course, it may be because of the heavy snow. Merchants who have already relied on the path still choose to hoard based on past experience. coal.
Wang Chonggu decided to take another look. His most important task was to ensure the supply of coal to Gyeonggi. This was the first priority.
Therefore, no matter how good Wang Qian's idea is, Wang Chonggu will decide according to the situation. If the price of coal is too high and people freeze to death in the snow, Wang Chonggu, a minister who amasses profits, will be impeached again.
Zhu Yijun appointed Zhao Mengyou to cooperate with the chief commander to supervise the matter. Zhu Yijun still did not believe that it was a natural disaster. Meishikou had existed for nearly two hundred years. Although there had been fires, it had never been so strange. Zhao Mengyou took Tiqi and Huofu with him. While cleaning up the fire scene, hoping to find some clues, Luo Sigong began to investigate undercover.
His Majesty once said that when investigating a case, the people have all the clues in their hands.
Luo Sigong was very young, and he made a lot of progress during his visits. He rarely regarded this child as a minion of the court. Most of them thought that this child was a noble son who was curious about whether he could make money after the fire.
Zhu Yijun didn't expect Luo Sigong to get things done, he just wanted to accumulate some experience in handling cases.
While many lines were going on, Ding Guogong Xu Wenbi asked for an audience again. Zhu Yijun met Xu Wenbi in the side hall of Wenhua Palace, and Xu Wenbi held the culprit.
As a top power tycoon, this time he heard the news and focused on a very small area, the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty.
The Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty is a hereditary and irreplaceable lord. This group has never given credit to the emperor's relatives.
During the Hongwu period, Taizu Emperor Gao personally issued an order to kill Ouyang Lun, a prince-in-law. Ouyang Lun had been seeking death. Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him several times. Ouyang Lun refused to change his habit and was beheaded in public. During the Yongle period, the prince-in-law was beheaded. Wang Ning was convicted for building ships without permission and going to the Japanese country for business. During the Xuande, Zhengtong, and Jingtai years, the prince-in-law Zhao Hui relied on his seniority to do evil and was impeached many times.
The reason why Xu Wenbi came to the palace to talk about this incident was mainly because according to the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, if the emperor's relatives commit crimes, the successor will make his own decision, but treason will not be forgiven. The meetings of the kings outside and the relatives in Beijing are all taken from the superior.
The royal family and relatives want to discuss your status.
According to the scope defined by Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's relatives, the government's government, and the foreign court had no right to inspect and handle the matter. Only the emperor himself could handle this matter.
"Didn't the Prince Consort Prince Consort be classified as a super-ranked man by his grandfather in the ninth year of Jiajing and be classified as the fifth grade?" Zhu Yijun read the records of Emperor Shizongsu and clearly saw the clear text, because the Prince Consort Prince Consort often committed crimes, and the Taoist Master also Not only did he not tolerate them, he severely punished them, and he also directly reduced the prince-consort captain above the earl to the rank of fifth rank.
Xu Wenbi said quite accurately: "But the Prince Consort is still a relative of the emperor, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have no right to interfere with this matter."
Because of the historical lessons of the Battle of Jingnan and the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, after Xuande, the Prince Consort and the harem were not allowed to be the homes of powerful gentry.
Many of the relatives were not even literate. In order to educate the relatives, during the Xuanzong Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty specially asked people to write a book "The Imperial Wife's Stories".
This book collects 43 relatives of the past dynasties who were able to do good deeds, including Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who were models of humility and perseverance and were famous for future generations despite their great achievements. There were also 36 people who were able to do bad deeds, including Wang Mang and Liang Ji. As well as Han Yuzhou and other negative examples who did not end well because of their interference in politics.
I just hope that my relatives will choose the good, practice it with heart and deeds, and share endless wealth.
However, in the end, this wish came true. It would be better if Ming's relatives did not cause trouble, and they could not help the emperor at all.
"Only Tiqi from Jinyiwei and Fanzi from Dongchang can restrain them, right?" Zhu Yijun understood what Xu Wenbi meant. The outer court did not have the power to restrain the relatives, and the ministers in the court had no way to investigate the relatives. Wang Chonggu found the culprit. The culprit can only report it to the emperor for judgment.
"Yes." Seeing that what he wanted to say had been explained clearly, Xu Wenbi bowed his head and left the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
He just came to remind His Majesty to be careful about who he supports.
The Ming Dynasty's martial arts had already begun to fail, so Xu Wenbi told His Majesty some of the things he knew to prevent the little emperor from suffering a loss.
Zhu Yijun took out a volume of the Ming Dynasty Huidian. After completing one volume, he sent one to the emperor.
The Great Ming Dynasty Conference is a tool for governing the country written by Zhang Juzheng to the young emperor. If you encounter something you don’t understand, you can read it, sort out the various government orders from the Hongwu period to the Longqing period, and tell the little emperor why he wanted to do it in the first place. this way.
The main content of the volume in his hand is the life of relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Jiajing's reign, Taoist Master issued an order to allow relatives to trade with merchants, but they were not allowed to prey on the common people.
Foreign relatives continued to trade, mainly focusing on several aspects.
The first is to operate a store, a shop, which is mainly for the residence of merchants; a warehouse is a warehouse, a place for merchants to accumulate goods; a shop is a shop, which operates and sells various commodities; a shop is actually an intermediary agency for commodity transactions. , not the teeth of human teeth.
This started from Xuanzong. In the second year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong gave the Huangshundian District of the original Teng Prefecture, which was affiliated to the Ministry of Household Affairs, to his uncle Pengcheng Bo Zhang Yong.
In the second year of Jingtai, Wang Ying, the father of Queen Wang, the first wife of Emperor Jingtai, asked for the Baoyuan store for daily needs. Emperor Jingtai refused. He also inspected all the official stores, surveyed and registered them, and the officials collected them. Profit, with military pay.
During the Tianshun period, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly rewarded the family members of the Empress Dowager Sun. By the time of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, all the relatives of the Empress Dowager Sun and the Huichang Marquis Mansion were confiscated by the established emperor Liu Jin and turned into an imperial village.
During the Hongzhi period, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty granted more than 143 stores to Queen Zhang's mother, the Jin family. Queen Zhang's father and younger brother even got the coveted Heyuan store, Baoyuan store, etc., which exceeded five More than a hundred places were confiscated by the Taoist Master during the Jiajing period and turned into his own small treasury.
In the ninth year of Jiajing's reign, the Taoist priest directly organized a big overhaul. The cabinet issued a memorial: begging generals inside and outside the capital, powerful people asking for rural shops and houses, and those who get it unjustly will be fined and confiscated. Zhang Cong, the assistant minister of the cabinet at the time, also Having said this, I was suffocated.
Master Dao did it abruptly.
The reason why Emperor Jiajing was so determined to punish his relatives was that these guys had gone too far.
Zhang Cong reported that the relatives of the five cities were not allowed to bring earthworks and stones into the capital. If someone's house collapsed and the storefront collapsed, they could not repair it, so they could only sell the land deed to the relatives, and the business of the collapsed storehouse would cause The extremely bad influence caused Emperor Jiajing to become furious and began to investigate the matter.
An edict was issued: The royal relatives were ordered to profit from the fishermen and be punished in the law office. According to the imperial edict, ministers who are close to the country should study, obey etiquette, and follow the official constitution.
Before being assassinated by the palace maid, Master Dao had been working hard to cheer up, and he could definitely be called a wise king. Even the picky Zhao Zhenji did not scold Master Dao for his respect for Taoism, but just hoped that Master Dao would not be too indulging.
During the Wanli period, Empress Dowager Li held the power to review memorials in the Qianqing Palace. During the six years, she did not give Wu Qingbo's family a shop or shop. This made Wu Qingbo and Li Wei often complain that his daughter was already the queen mother, but she had no shop. The bond of kinship.
The second method of profit is mainly long-distance trafficking. For example, Pengcheng Bo Zhang Jin, Qingyun Bo Zhou Shou, etc., have illegally used the government's water horse station, water transport channels, horses and fast boats and other transportation vehicles for generations to seek personal gain.
The third way to make money was usury. The biggest commotion was that Sun Zhong, Huichang Bo, the grandfather of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, ordered his family member Han Xing to loan money to rice grains at high interest rates. As a result, officials in the court and middle government impeached each other. As a result, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty In memory of relatives who are loyal to the country, I especially forgive them;
During the Chenghua period, Sun Zhong's son Sun Jizong took control of the reorganized Jingying camp, and even put usury money in the Jingying camp. In the tenth year of Chenghua period, the military department made a strange statement to Zhang Yi during the incident: "The family of the honorary relatives is the same as the common people." Renju lent money to the capital camp in order to harm the soldiers. Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty was furious and severely reprimanded Sun Jizong, who was in charge of the military. He took away Sun Jizong's military power.
The fourth way to make money is to collect money and food, including Neiku cloth flowers, jewelry purchases, etc. For example, during the Longqing period, Li Wei, the uncle of Wu Qing Dynasty, collected cloth flowers from the old Beijing camp. Because they were too thin, the sergeants made an uproar, and Emperor Longqing issued strict orders. The decree ordered Uncle Wu Qing not to accept him again. In the fourth year of Wanli, Uncle Wu Qing asked him to accept him again, but he was scolded by Empress Dowager Li.
The fifth type is mining coal in Xishan, and the sixth type is selling salt.
Coal mining in Xishan was ongoing, and selling salt was one of the reasons for the corruption of the Ming Salt Law.
Zhang Juzheng probably found six ways to make huge profits from his past experience, and analyzed the commonalities of these six types of transactions.
The first thing in common is that the relatives never come forward in person, but leave it to their family members and servants. Once something happens, the relatives will go to the emperor and cry, saying that they are all servants recruited in the name of the family. They don’t know about the matter and ask the emperor to Forgiveness, due to the kindness of relatives, can only be forgiving, forming a fixed set of gameplay.
When Zhang Juzheng talked about this issue, he also specifically praised His Majesty Xu Wenbi, Duke of Dingguo, for his inspiration. The last time the Imperial College released loan sharks, Xu Wenbi's reason was that he had a cunning pretext, and then he stopped doing this business. Well, when we came to prepare for the establishment of the Xishan Coal Bureau, we also took out our own kiln and waited for the dividends.
The sale of kilns and wells is illegal. Because of the imperial mausoleum in Xishan, opening kilns and selling coal, cutting mountains and selling stones, setting up factories to burn ashes, and making bricks and taking earth are harmful to feng shui. There are prohibitions on opening kilns and cutting mountains. If the emperor really If you make up your mind to do it, confiscating it will be in vain.
The second common point is that they seek to protect the imperial power, refuse to pay taxes, and suffer losses from state taxes. The involvement of relatives is prohibited by the imperial court. They do not pay any tax when trading goods, and they pay all merchants' commercial taxes, causing huge losses in state taxes.
It is absolutely impossible not to pay taxes in Daming!
How shameful is my relative?
In order to compete for profit, in September of the ninth year of Hongzhi, Changning Bo Zhou Yu and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, two relatives, fought for a cart of coal at the feet of the emperor, under the Beijing chariot, in the busy city, and were arrested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. General Xiantu and others proposed impeachment and asked Emperor Xiaozong if he would just ignore it!
Words: Changning Bo Zhou Yu and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling were angry over trivial matters. They gathered people to fight and made noise in the city. They lived in the city. Because they were angry because of their daily competition for market profits, they became enemies at the first touch. , Losing Qili's view will damage the prestige of the imperial court. When the emperor hears this, he would rather not do anything about it?
Ming Xiaozong really didn't move.
One was the second brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the other was his wife's younger brother. Ming Xiaozong could only ask Yousi to tell the truth, and Yousi made a report, but Ming Xiaozong kept putting off doing anything and letting it go.
Zhu Yijun held the memorial in his hand, frowning, waiting for the progress of the matter.
The first person to report back was Zhao Mengyou.
"Your Majesty, we have found the person who set the fire. This person is the great-grandson of Zhou Yu, the uncle of Chang Ning. His name is Zhou Shichen. During the Jiajing period, his cousin was expelled from the imperial family. He came to the family of Uncle Chang Ning and became the commander of the Jinyi Guards. In Zhou Shichen's generation, he could not even inherit the command. He was idle here, and someone promised him a big price. Zhou Shichen was already angry, so he took a jade pendant from him at the scene of the fire, and then pursued it." Zhao Mengyou reported his work in detail.
The arsonist Zhou Shichen was identified not just by a jade ornament left at the place where the fire started. Neighbors also testified that he left sneakily that night, that he bought a lot of oil at an oil store, and that he owed a huge sum of money from a gambling house. payment.
"Catch him and interrogate him carefully." Zhu Yijun's expression was cheered up. Tiqi was really effective in doing the job. It only took two days to find the person. After Zhu Yijun read the file, he found that the motive of the crime was clear and the evidence of the crime was constituted. We have a complete chain of evidence, personal evidence and physical evidence, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain.
Zhao Mengyou frowned and said: "When I arrived with Tiqi, Zhou Shichen was already dead. They said that thieves broke in, killed Zhou Shichen and escaped. When I arrived, I happened to meet Zhou Shichen's maid He Hua and the street butcher Lu Jin. , the butcher Lu Jin hid under the bed when he was arrested, saying he was afraid of the officers and soldiers, so he hid."
"I am half a day late. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Zhou Shichen's death further confirmed that he was the murderer of the arson case. Tiqi's close pursuit put great pressure on the mastermind who knew the news, so he simply stopped doing anything and killed people to silence him.
"The speed of your investigation is already amazing, but the other party is cruel and ruthless." Zhu Yijun would not think that Zhao Mengyou was incompetent. It took two days to find the culprit in this arson case. This can be called a genius detective. And he's the kind of detective who can't be found even with a lantern.
Zhu Yijun very much recognized Zhao Mengyou's ability to do things. He could only say that the ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark were indeed ruthless.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty." Zhao Mengyou was also under a lot of pressure. The Meishikou fire caused many casualties and had a very bad impact. In order to track down the murderer, all 600 cavalrymen were sent out, searching for clues everywhere, using various methods, and finally locked in The murderer, but the criminal was still killed.
"What does Tishuai think of this matter?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Someone must have instigated Zhou Shichen. I found a large amount of silver ingots in his home, most of which were Japanese silver. Zhou Shichen's death was definitely the work of a gangster." Zhao Mengyou said with great certainty that Zhou Shichen was an ordinary man who had lost his title. Moreover, he was addicted to gambling, and it was difficult to come into contact with things like Japanese silver. Whoever gave the Japanese silver would find out the real culprit.
We can be sure that it is Japanese silver because the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen has a good way of detecting silver routes. This Japanese silver contains sulfur, has a smell, and is yellow and black. This makes it easy to narrow the scope of the investigation.
"Continue to pursue. As long as there is action, there will be clues. Just continue to pursue." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
While Zhao Mengyou continued to work hard, the case changed again. Weng Dali, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice who was responsible for supervising the murder case of Zhou Shichen, reported that Zhou Shichen's maid Hehua and the butcher Lu Jintong had been friends for a long time and might have conspired to kill Zhou Shichen. , for Zhou Shichen’s family property.
Zhu Yijun kept clapping the memorial in his hand.
When Zhao Mengyou presented himself, he had already said that Zhou Shichen died very neatly. Someone knocked on the door, Zhou Shichen opened the door, and stabbed his heart and lungs, killing him immediately. All the characteristics showed that it was definitely the work of a criminal with a long history of evil, the butcher Lu Jin. I don’t have the courage, let alone the technology.
There is a big difference between killing pigs and killing people, and the psychological burden is completely different.
Weng Dali's argument makes sense in theory. It is relatively common for collusion to commit murder, and the maid and the butcher are indeed collaborating.
Zhao Mengyou completely disagreed with the direction of the Criminal Department in solving the case and chose to pursue the murderer. Soon a criminal named Zhu Guocheng came into Zhao Mengyou's sight. After confirming that this person had escaped, he immediately sent Tiqi to pursue him.
Zhu Guocheng is a pseudonym, nicknamed Boss Zhu. He is actually a criminal. He was born as a gangster in Shandong. He has several lives and lawsuits in his hands. The court has been pursuing him for several years. Zhu Guocheng brought a total of three men to Beijing this time. Zhao Mengyou captured one of them first, and then Following the clues, Zhu Guocheng was arrested and brought to justice.
While Zhao Mengyou was working on the case quickly, Wang Chonggu also followed his son's advice and kept hoarding coal for blasting, occasionally putting in a little coal to test the market. On December 17, the fourth year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu sold 120,000 kilograms in After the coal explosion, I immediately realized that the price had reached its peak.
"Is father going to close the net now? Can't we wait any longer?" Wang Qian looked at his father's relaxed face and asked about the progress.
Wang Chonggu hummed a little tune, and when his son heard the news, he smiled and said: "Yes, if we don't close the net, your majesty will close our net."
"The people's coal has been exhausted and they can't wait any longer. Moreover, more than 10,000 kilograms of coal released today were sold to individual customers, which proves that some people are full and can't eat at all. Tomorrow, it will be The day they put coal is also the day the court puts coal."
"An Xin will hand over the kiln well to His Majesty. Your Majesty will do things fairly and you can cut off his dividends? We are all relatives, so we must cause such an embarrassment."
Wang Qian shook his head and said: "Actually, this person probably thought this was Yuan Fu's new policy, so he resisted. Unexpectedly, it was His Majesty's intention. He thought he could get away with it as a relative of the emperor, just like the previous two hundred years. Your Majesty became ruthless. , I am afraid that even my grandfather Wu Qingbo and Li Wei will be killed."
Wang Qian didn't feel that he was wrong in dealing with Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei had already threatened the head of Lao Wang's family.
Wang Qian's fierceness is completely imitated by His Majesty.
When Wu Qingbo Li Wei was doing business with Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei took advantage of it and went to the palace to intercede for Zhang Siwei. His majesty shot an arrow and the arrow flew past his ear.
Empress Dowager Li did not reprimand Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng did not write a note about his sins. The emperor treated Li Wei as if nothing had happened and rewarded Li Wei.
"According to your words, Yuan Fu's New Deal, isn't that more terrifying?" Wang Chonggu thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out how this bull ghost and snake god got such courage to come out and show off in the scorching sun. , Do you have to have a chance encounter with the emperor and Yuan Fu?
Even if it is because of poor information and not knowing His Majesty’s face, isn’t Zhang Juzheng scary?
"Yuan Fu is more terrifying, or is His Majesty more terrifying? That's a question." Wang Qian thought about it for a long time. This seemed to be an unsolvable question.
Wang Chonggu seemed to have recalled some kind of fear, and said with a pale face: "No, no, no, it's the most terrifying thing in total."
Now it was Zhang Juzheng who was supported by the emperor, the theory of contradiction, and the theory of public and private. Even without these blessings, Zhang Juzheng was scary enough. When Wang Chonggu was hit with a combination of punches, Wang Chonggu really thought that he was going to die tomorrow.
When there is no gap between the emperor and Yuan Fu, just do things obediently. This is the best choice, and there is an official position and honor. The key is to make more than before and be more secure than before.
"I'm going to Qian'an Bo Mansion, and I have to ask Qi Shuai tomorrow. His Majesty asked Qi Shuai to set up an infantry camp in Beijing and cooperate with the six hundred cavalry to help put coal to prevent anyone from causing trouble." Wang Chonggu no longer thought about it, and he hummed a ditty. Went to find Qi Jiguang.
Qi Shuai brought an infantry battalion to Beijing. In the eyes of the courtiers, there was no problem at all. The last time the emperor went from inspecting the military horses on the fifth day to conducting daily military horse parades, Li Rusong led an infantry battalion into the capital to serve as His Majesty's advance guard.
But the courtiers were frightened.
If Qi Jiguang wants to cooperate with Zhang Juzheng in the rebellion, he will definitely be killed in a river of blood. If Qi Jiguang does not cooperate with Zhang Juzheng in the rebellion, it will be even more difficult.
As a result, Zhang Juzheng helped the little emperor mount his horse and completed the ceremony happily.
The sun was shining brightly in the early morning of the next day, and the bad effects of the Meishikou fire in the capital were slowly unfolding. The price of coal had risen to two hundred cents per catty. People in the outer cities had begun to run out of food. When the morning bell rang, the Meishikou fire Coal was finally available, but the price was two hundred and ten cents per pound.
But when the city gate opened, one after another side chariots without artillery began to enter the city. The vehicles were all filled with coal. There was a sign on each chariot, which cost eight coins per catty. These side chariots were the foreign aid invited by Wang Chonggu. He was afraid that if he was selling coal himself, the centralized brokers and compradors would not buy his cheap coal and would let the sergeants of the Beijing camp sell it on his behalf.
Eight Wen per pound is enough to satisfy your needs.
Zhu Yijun stood on the Wenhua Tower, looking around with a telescope to see the chariots entering the city, and even asked Wang Yaozhuo to watch the fun together.
"Report to the Emperor and rescue the head of Guizhou." Zhu Yijun was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in Wenhua Building, with the morning sun shining brightly on his face.
The capital began to discharge coal. The captains of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division did not dare to intercept the Beijing troops entering the city and walked through the streets and alleys. This allowed the coal to go directly into the homes of the people.
"Your Majesty, Tishuai is requesting an audience." Zhang Hong and Xiao Huangmen whispered a few words, bowed their heads and said.
"Xuan."
"Your Majesty, the traitor Zhu Guocheng has confessed that it was the consort Xu Congcheng who committed the crime. I ask your Majesty to issue an edict to arrest him." Zhao Mengyou said straightforwardly.
The smile on Zhu Yijun's face became even stronger after hearing this. He heard that Zhu Guocheng was arrested last night, and the results were announced today. The five poisons of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen are definitely not something ordinary people can withstand, and they don't even need to use the five poisons. As long as you take a visit to the Jiecuyuan, 99% of the people will explain everything about the punishment directly.
On December 18th, the fourth year of Wanli, after more than ten days of investigation, the person behind the case has been identified.
Zhu Yijun took out the edict from Zhang Hong. He only needed to fill in his name. He filled in Xu Congcheng's name and said: "Well, very good! I'm very happy! Go get him quickly, don't let him commit suicide."
Zhu Yijun took out another edict that had been prepared long ago. This was an edict for the Ministry of Punishment to issue. Tiqi's handling of the yellow paper case was a kind of harm to Tishuai Zhao Mengyou.
"I am very disciplined! I don't handle white paper cases or yellow paper cases, I only handle solid cases. I personally killed Chen Youren, and I was authorized by the Ministry of Punishments!" Zhu Yijun handed the edict to Zhang Hong and asked him to Zhang Hong went to the Ministry of Punishment to get his driving sticker.
The procedures are very complete.
At this time, everyone in the Xu family did not dare to speak loudly, and even walked very softly, because the head of the family, Xu Congcheng, was breaking things. Xu Congcheng also had to put coal in the house today. He did not have a side chariot, but he had a comprador broker.
But starting from this morning, the market was completely saturated with coal from Guanying in Meishikou.
All merchants who hoard coal will be in bad luck. The coal they hoard at a high price is worthless. Moreover, there are still three thousand soldiers in the city, so there is no room for any conspiracy.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, where did Wang Chonggu get so much coal to blast! The road was blocked by heavy snow for more than ten days, and he put coal every day, how did he get so much coal!" Xu Congcheng's face turned red and he roared ferociously. He arrived I don’t believe it now, but the city has been filled with cheap coal.
This time the loss exceeded 500,000 silver, and all his belongings over the years were lost.
"Never sell, wait! Wait, I don't believe that Wang Chonggu really has so much coal that can fill the needs of the entire capital!" Xu Congcheng forced himself to calm down. He was sure that Wang Chonggu would not have enough coal to explode, but just used This method is used to create the illusion that there is no shortage of coal in the capital.
As long as you keep your composure, even if you can't make a lot of money and lose a little money, it's okay.
"Master, there is no limit to the coal in the sidecar. Anyone can buy it..." The housekeeper carefully reminded Xu Congcheng and whispered: "Wang Chonggu has prepared 300 million kilograms of coal, which is enough."
"How much?! Xishan Coal Bureau has just been established less than a month ago, where did so much coal come from!" Xu Congcheng's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.
"After taking over the Xishan Coal Bureau, Da Sikou transported a lot of coal from Shanxi to Beijing. Shanxi has a lot of coal." The steward finally told the whole story he had heard.
In the process of preparing the Xishan Coal Bureau, Wang Chonggu transported a lot of coal from Shanxi to Beijing, and coupled with the mining of the Xishan Coal Bureau, he saved so much.
"Ah? Oh." Xu Congcheng frowned, remembering that Wang Chonggu was from Shanxi and one of the core figures of the Jin Party. Even after the elderly Ge Shouli took office, Wang Chonggu was the leader of the Jin Party. Wang Chonggu had this network and was able to transport so much coal. Blast into Beijing.
Xu Congcheng's eyes grew wider and wider, and suddenly his feet gave way and he collapsed on the ground.
All the savings were destroyed in one fell swoop.
The porter hurried in and said in a panic: "Master, master! Something bad has happened. Zhao Mengyou, the commander-in-chief, and Weng Dali, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishments, have surrounded the Xu Mansion with two hundred cavalry and have already reached the front hall!"
Weng Dali is here to deliver driving stickers, not to obstruct the handling of the case.
If we expand on the story of relatives seeking huge profits, we can talk about it for several days and nights. The book has selected a few outrageous things. The relatives of the Ming Dynasty are not very reliable. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! !
