Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 376 The shock of the Peking gentry

"What, the family has suffered heavy losses. Thousands of acres of fertile fields of sugar cane, and there are no sugar craftsmen, can only be fed to livestock?"

"Is this true for the whole of Jiangxi?"

"A gentleman invested all his wealth in sugar cane, and even borrowed money from a bank. This time he lost all his money? Did he commit suicide?"

"It's so tragic?"

"Is this true for Guangdong and Fujian as well?"

"A bunch of idiots. The emperor's grandson asked the Shen family to cut off cooperation with Prince Yan's Mansion. Why don't you look down on those sugar craftsmen?"

"Now, why don't you hurry up and contact the sugar factories in the north?"

"The north is too far away, and there are not many sugar workshops. So much cane sugar is transported there, and the money sold is not enough to cover the freight..."

"In this case, the sugar cane grown by tens of millions of people in Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi is worthless..."

"What a cruel King Yan!"

"This matter is also to blame for Huang Zicheng. As the companion of the East Palace, what bad idea did he give to the emperor's eldest grandson?"

"Prince Yan's Mansion is so powerful, how can a mere businessman influence it?"

""This time, Huang Zicheng must be punished! "

"...".

Although he hated the emperor's eldest grandson's reckless behavior in his heart.

But, after all, that person is the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As the king of the Ming Dynasty, even if he makes a mistake, it is still the fault of the people around him.

All the officials in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi could only hate Huang Zicheng.

Soon, after a group of officials communicated privately, they began to think about how to impeach Huang Zicheng.

I understand everything I understand.

The king of the Ming Dynasty can never make mistakes, especially the grandson of the Ming Emperor.

Then, we need to exaggerate the crime committed by Huang Zicheng.

After the sugar workshops are gone, people in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi will not be able to sell the sugar cane in their homes. How big will the loss be?

The impact of taxation on the Ming Dynasty was so serious that many people would not be able to survive this winter, and great chaos would inevitably occur!
Not long ago, there was an uprising by the White Lotus believers in Namian County, Shaanxi Province, but it still hasn’t passed...

soon.

In Jiangxi and Fujian state governments, memorials from the chief envoys, inspection envoys, and inspection censors, as well as from the vassal palaces and magistrates in various places, were handed in every day.

In the capital, the officials also handed over their impeachment memorials.

Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang casually looked through several memorials, but found that these memorials were all about crying and impeachment.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed tightly.

"The East Palace issued an order not to allow the Shen family to cooperate with the Yan Palace? When did this happen?"

And aside.

Zhu Yunwen, who also realized something was wrong, suddenly had a look of panic on his face.

How can a small businessman influence so many people?
In fact, so many merchants and civilians were killed within a few days.

And he provoked so many southern officials to directly impeach him?
Although it was to impeach Huang Zicheng, the companion of the East Palace, he was not stupid. This was obviously to impeach him, the grandson of the East Palace Emperor.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yunwen had already stood up and begged Zhu Yuanzhang with a look of fear.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Grandson... I don't know that a mere merchant can cause such big trouble to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Did you really send someone to do it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen with an inexplicable expression and asked.

Zhu Yunwen calmed down and said: "My grandson dare not deceive the emperor's grandfather. He wants to restrict Uncle Yan's development, so he sent someone to pass on the message that those southern merchants are not allowed to have too much cooperation with Prince Yan's palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Yunwen, do you still remember that we once told you that the kings of the northern Ming Dynasty, such as King Yan and King Jin, were all responsible for resisting the barbarians!

They can keep the border from chaos and leave you with peace! "

Zhu Yunwen was startled and said quickly: "Report to Grandpa Huang, my grandson remembers it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "At that time, you were still worried that the kings would be restless... Then, you told us that you should embrace them with virtue and control them with etiquette, otherwise you would cut them off..."

"And now, we haven't died yet, and all the kings are keeping to themselves and working conscientiously to guard the northern border for our Ming Dynasty!
However, you, the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor, have already started to take action against Prince Yan’s Mansion. Why is this? "

Zhu Yunzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, then his eyes flickered and he said: "Grandpa Qi, my grandson is worried. In the future, Prince Yan's Palace will become stronger and stronger day by day, and my grandson will not be able to suppress Prince Yan's Palace!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "What if Prince Yan's Palace is powerful? Even if we give Prince Yan's Palace two more silver mountains, the fourth child will only have money.

The only soldiers that Laosi can mobilize are the nearly [-] soldiers of Yanshan Guard.

Only the Tongzhou Guard, Yongning Guard, Miyun Guard, and Zunhua Guard of Beiping Mansion can directly surround Prince Yan's Mansion with just an order from the court.

You are a majestic grandson of the emperor, why should you be afraid? "

"Here, the Fourth Brother's thoughts have been entirely focused on Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom. Even the Yanshan Guards have been sent half. The Fourth Brother has already given in like this, why do you have to press so hard?"

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is worried..."

"The civil servants and military officers we have left for you in the court are all loyal to you, so what are you worried about?"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, then felt cruel and said again: "Grandpa Huang, the fourth uncle has now managed the entire Beiping Mansion like an iron tube. Not only the gentry and merchants in the Beiping Mansion dare not disobey the fourth uncle." if.

Even with the academy in Beiping Prefecture, the scholars in the north respected the fourth uncle very much.

As a result, some officials from the north in the court were somewhat ambiguous about Fourth Uncle..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

"You also sent people to Peking?"

"Yes!" Zhu Yunwen nodded honestly, "My grandson wants those gentry in Beiping Mansion to be loyal to my grandson.

At the same time, the scholars from Beiping Mansion were also summoned...

As a result, those scholars and gentry are all cunning and cunning, and they are both snake and rat..."

"Okay, stop talking!"

Zhu Yuanzhang already understood what Zhu Yunwen wanted to say.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. He had been shrewd all his life, but he might have made a mistake this time.

Originally, I wanted to find a benevolent Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who could tolerate those feudal kings, and those few feudal princes would guard the borders for the Ming Dynasty and serve as the Ming Dynasty feudal screen.

However, who would have thought that a boy who was so filial in the past would change his mind within a few years and want to attack his fourth uncle?
Then if after his death, those rogue officials in the court provoke him, wouldn't it mean that all the vassal kings would suffer one by one?

"Yun Wen, we started as a cowherd boy, led a group of old brothers, and fought hard for half a lifetime to build this country for our old Zhu family.

Don't think that just because we, the old Zhu family, are sitting here in this country and killing batch after batch of people for you, we think the world is peaceful.

To the west and north of the Ming Dynasty, there were millions of Beiyuan, Tatar, Oara, and even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Timurid Empire.

These thieves are like poisonous snakes, always staring at our Ming Dynasty.

If King Qin, King Jin, King Yan, and King Ning hadn't been in charge of the north, these thieves would have been so arrogant!

You want to kill them all one by one. Whoever you ask to guard the border will clear out foreign enemies for our Ming Dynasty! "

"Is it possible that you think that those rotten scholars who can only rely on a few books of the Analects of Confucius and can speak a few words can stabilize the country?

Let them ride horses and wield steel knives to kill the enemy?
Do they dare?

I'm afraid they were so frightened that they wet their pants even before they encountered those ferocious foreign enemies. "

"Especially that Huang Zicheng, those bullshit ideas he gave you, the grandson of the emperor is like a gangster in the market, playing dirty tricks behind his back, and even threatening his own subjects, isn't it embarrassing?
After hearing this, we wanted to chop that guy into pieces! "

Zhu Yunwen said quickly: "Grandpa Huang, please calm down. This matter is what my grandson wants. Mr. Huang is just doing things according to his grandson's instructions!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he said quietly: "Then do you know, if there is no King Yan, who will Bei Yuan send to guard it? There are also Japanese pirates along the coast, how will the Ming Dynasty solve them?"

Zhu Yunwen did not notice, but said: "Grandpa Huang, I have countless fierce generals in the Ming Dynasty. If they guard the northern and coastal cities, they can also protect my Ming Dynasty from worries!"

"Worry-free?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sneer, "You can't even trust your own uncle. How can you trust those arrogant and powerful generals, or the rotten scholars who all want to use you to absorb the foundation of our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yunwen looked startled.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Now, you have only cut off one merchant who cooperated with King Yan, but you have cut off the source of money for thousands of large gentry families, and angered more than half of the gentry officials in Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi.

Do you still want to protect Huang Zicheng? "

Zhu Yunwen said hurriedly, "Grandpa Huang, Mr. Huang is a minister in the palace of my grandson. He is the most loyal person to his grandson. My grandson must protect him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, "If this is the case, you still want to protect him?"

Zhu Yunwen had a firm look on his face, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson must protect Mr. Huang!"

"We know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.

Immediately, he lowered his head and read the memorial.

Two more days passed.

The price of sugar in the capital doubled in an instant.

In two more days.

The price of white sugar, as well as sucrose, honey fried, candied fruit, candied melon and other sugar products, has doubled again!
It rose until the people in the capital began to complain, alarming Zhu Yuanzhang again.

The sucrose matter that had been suppressed just now was brought out again.

Those officials once again pointed their finger at the East Palace.

……

Beiping Prefecture.

The autumn harvest was successfully completed.

The farms, granges, and shops under Prince Yan's residence all had great harvests.

As for the chamber of commerce, it has also been established and is on track.

And the more than 20 gentry who participated in the Chamber of Commerce were the moment they boarded the big ship.

Their expressions changed and they were filled with shock.

They have never seen a big ship that can run so fast by burning coal.

In this way, wouldn't it take half a month for the big ship of Prince Yan's palace to go to Goryeo or Japan?

With such a big ship, how could His Highness King Yan pay attention to the threat from the emperor's grandson.

then.

The thoughts of these gentry subconsciously changed.

then.

After boarding Goryeo and seeing the situation in Goryeo, the expressions of these gentry couldn't help but change.

Jianghua Seaport is as prosperous as Zhangjiawan Wharf!

All Koreans speaking Damingya dialect!

There are Korean shops with Chinese signs everywhere!
Flat and straight cement avenue!
There are also those Korean people who are full of respect when they see these Ming people...

How lucky was the people of Ming Dynasty that Korea was so beautiful?
These people must buy property in Goryeo!
In this way, even if their family in Beiping Prefecture is implicated, the family in Gaoli will not be implicated!
