Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 304 Thunderbolt
"The servant understands what to do!"

Gu Dayong is such a smart person, he instantly understood what Zhu Houzhao wanted him to do.

Zhu Houzhao wanted the Keluoba people to help him make money, but at the same time he didn't trust the Keluoba people. In this case, he had to be tough.

"Go ahead and do it!"

Zhu Houzhao said calmly, since Gu Dayong understood what he meant, he should know what to do.

Xichang's methods of controlling people have been upgraded long ago, and it's just a small test to get rid of some Keluoba people who are helpless.

"The slaves retire!"

Gu Dayong bowed and bowed, and slowly exited the hall.

Jiangnan Dujia
At that time, Zhu Hou ordered Gao Feng to wash Jiangnan with blood. Countless aristocratic families ended in that indiscriminate purge. The Du family took advantage of the emptiness of Jiangnan and seized the opportunity to rise rapidly. The food business is booming.

Up to now, the Du family is already one of the most wealthy businessmen in the world. Their wealth is incomparable to any country.

In the first few years when they first made a fortune, the Du family paid taxes honestly and did not dare to go against the wishes of the court, but as the business grew bigger and wealth accumulated more and more, the Du family became restless!
They began to feel that why should part of their hard-earned money be handed over to the imperial court? Apart from actively collecting taxes, what help has the imperial court given them?
If you have money to pay taxes to the court, it is better to use the money to make more friends in the business field.

The Du family's dissatisfaction with the imperial court was getting worse day by day. If they were not afraid of that thunderbolt's wrath, they would have committed tax evasion more than once or twice.

With the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty living together, times were changing rapidly, and the Du family felt that their opportunity had come. The family moved to other dynasties to settle down, and they could still earn money without paying high commercial taxes.

In the lobby, several speakers of the Du family were discussing which dynasty they should move to, which would best suit the interests of the Du family.

First of all, get rid of Hongwu and Yongle dynasties. Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle's attitude towards businessmen is even worse than the current one. The Du family will not be foolish enough to seek death.

The boss of the Du family thought that the Du family should go to the Hongxi Dynasty. Emperor Hongxi treated people generously and would not suppress merchants like them too much.

Du Lao Er thought that he should go to the orthodox dynasty. Everyone knew that the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen was incompetent. Under his rule, they could do whatever they wanted.

Du Laosan thought it was time to go to the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Several people in the Du family had their own reasons, and no one could convince anyone. Only the old man Du sighed secretly. He left the Taiwu Dynasty and took root in other dynasties. His sons thought too well.

Mrs. Du is a person who has experienced that bloody storm. He has seen countless aristocratic families fall under the butcher's knife with his own eyes, and he deeply understands how ruthless that method is.

Their Du family dared to challenge the majesty of that one, I am afraid that disaster is not far away!

If you understand it, you understand that Mrs. Du can't persuade his sons, and the sons can't help but father, Mrs. Du, who are silent in their own glory, firmly believe that the one who dare not attack their Du family.

How powerful the Du family is, the No. [-] grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River has earned its reputation in vain. Without their Du family's rewarding meals, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

To have trouble with the Du family is to be against the people in the south of the Yangtze River and even the people of the world.

The brothers of the Du family all have a kind of self-confidence.

"Da Lang, you brothers, just listen to Dad's advice and don't try to provoke the majesty of the court."

The old man Du tried his best to persuade his sons that it was not easy for the Du family to accumulate such a family fortune, so they should not be defeated by some stupid sons!

"Father, you are overthinking. Our family is the largest grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. How many people are counting on our family to make a living. Even the one who wants to touch our family has to consider the consequences."

Boss Du is very confident, and he has a posture that even the court doesn't pay attention to him.

"Paying a large amount of business taxes every year is simply sucking the bones out of us."

"The court is not benevolent first, so we can't blame us for being unrighteous."

Du Lao Er, Du Lao San and others shouted that they have had enough of the court's "squeeze."

"you guys"

Old Mrs. Du hated that iron could not be made into steel. All the aristocratic and powerful families who were more influential than their Du family fell at his feet. What capital did their Du family have to challenge that person.

He is a sensible person, but unfortunately, he couldn't wake up his sons who fell into a deep sleep.

"Old master, uncle, second master, third master"

The old butler of the Du family came in, greeted all the people involved in the Du family, and then said with a nervous expression: "Yingtian Governor Hu Zanzong, Mr. Hu, came and said that the matter has been settled!"

"Quickly, invite Mr. Hu in."

"No, I'll ask for it myself."

Boss Du was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurried to greet Yingtian Governor Hu Zanzong, and Du Lao Er and Du Lao San also followed in a hurry.

Welcoming Hu Zanzong into the lobby, everyone in the Du family, except Mrs. Du, was full of excitement and joy on their faces, and finally they didn't have to stay in this ghostly place.

Pay taxes, pay a damn tax.

It is only natural for merchants to make money, and they are forced to pay a large amount of business taxes. The court is simply deceiving people too much. If this is the case, their Du family will not serve them.

After serving the tea, Boss Du couldn't wait to ask: "Master Hu, what happened to my request!"

Hu Zanzong put down the tea bowl and glanced at the members of the Du family. It was really embarrassing for the family to be so happy at the moment of death.

After sorting out my thoughts, I said slowly, "Your Du's family is going to move to another court, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has approved it."

The Du family laughed even happier. Leaving the Taiwu Dynasty does not mean that their property here will be abolished. They are not willing to give up this big family business. They just don't want to pay taxes.

Move the old nest away, don't have to pay high taxes, and still make money, the best of both worlds.

They thought very well, and even thought about how to open up new business routes and take care of the business here after going to other courts.

It's just that the world is not as beautiful as they thought. Hu Zanzong's next sentence directly made them fall into an ice cellar.

"You Du family can leave, but your Du family's wealth must stay. There is an order above that not a single coin of the wealth earned in my court can flow out."

When people leave, the money cannot be taken away. Everyone in the Du family was dumbfounded in an instant. They never imagined that the court would do such a thing.

If they are not allowed to leave with money, then what is the use of them going to other dynasties, deliberately crossing the ocean to beg for food?
"Master Hu is wrong?"

In the face of this sudden thunderbolt from the blue sky, Boss Du still had a little bit of luck.

In my heart, I kept praying for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that Hu Zanzong just said something wrong, otherwise, the Du family would be in danger!

"I'm not wrong. The decree passed on to me by the imperial court is clearly written. Wealthy businessmen are allowed to move to other courts, but the wealth must be kept."

"It's not just your Du family, it's the same for other rich merchant families who want to move to other dynasties."

Now, the members of the Du family couldn't laugh at all. They moved to another dynasty to enjoy the blessings, and they didn't want to be beggars.

"Lord Hu, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, my Du family was just confused for a while, we don't want to move to another dynasty, we just want to stay here."

Du Er Er was sweating profusely from anxiety and was used to a life of extravagance. If you want him to beg for food, it would be better to kill him directly.

"Yeah, I was confused for a while, so I can't take it seriously!"

Everyone in the Du family wailed endlessly.

"Presumptuous, the documents of the Ministry of Household Affairs have already been issued, how can you change it if you say so?"

"The imperial court is kind and will send ships to send you to the dynasty you want to take root in. You don't have to think about the rest."

Hu Zanzong said coldly, he did not sympathize with the Du family at all, if the Du family did not commit suicide, the court would not do so either.

The little Du family is also worthy of provoking that nerve.

　Book friends who sympathize with the Jews, please do not spray, the author is an angry youth, and hates using opium to entrap Chinese Jews!
