Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 783

"Master, are you going to Jiangning weaving mansion?"

Li Jingui asked knowingly.

"Well, I want to clean up the Cao family!"

Yinzhen also did not hide his dislike for the Cao family. Li Jingui watched the murderous intent in the fourth master's eyes, and secretly sweated for the Cao family.

Jiang Ning Zhizao was only a fifth-rank official in the Qing Dynasty, and his official position was not as high as that of the magistrate. Although he was not as good as a magistrate in terms of rank, even the highest official in the Liangjiang area, the governor of Liangjiang (from the first rank) would not dare to offend him easily.

Why can the Cao family be so awesome?
This also starts with the relationship between the Cao family and the royal family.

Cao Xi's wife, Sun, is the nanny of Lord Kangxi, so Lord Kangxi is naturally partial to Cao Xi, and arranges the weaving in Jiangning to go to Cao's family. The Jiangnan area has been the most developed area of ​​silk weaving since ancient times.

Since a large amount of silk fabrics are used in the palace every year, the imperial court set up three major weaving bureaus in Jiangnan, namely: Jiangning Weaving, Suzhou Weaving and Hangzhou Weaving.

Among them, Jiangning weaving is the most famous.

And Jiangning Weaving is in charge of the supply of royal fabrics in the palace. Although it has little power, it has a lot of oil and water. Cao Xi is also very hardworking in this position.

The Cao family was also very favored and had a moment of glory.The official uniforms of officials in the Qing Dynasty, the fabric beside the sedan chair when the emperor travels, the clothes of the emperor's concubines in the palace, the clothes of princes and nobles, etc., are all woven in Jiangning.

In Jiangnan with Cao Yin as the center, several weaves formed a family group with political, economic and cultural encyclopedia.

Lord Kangxi likes to travel to the south of the Yangtze River when he has nothing to do, and traveling to the south of the Yangtze River requires a lot of money.

The money was all paid by the Cao family. It was naturally a very honorable thing for the Cao family to receive Lord Kangxi, and it was also very good for consolidating their power, but the cost was huge.

In addition, a big family like the Cao family has many conflicts of interest and connections with princes and nobles.

So naturally there are a lot of shortfalls, and he can't help being involved in the power struggle in the palace, and he can't extricate himself from it.

In order to serve Lord Kangxi well, Cao Yin borrowed money from the treasury many times, leaving a huge deficit that could not be made up.

Jiangning weaving provides things for the court, of course, it is necessary to deal with the emperor frequently.

Moreover, Jiangning Weaving also reported the local situation when it paid tribute to the woven clothes and cloth every year, or often reported the local situation to the imperial court in secret concerts.

It is one of the important channels for the imperial court to obtain information about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Its status is very high, so it is not surprising that the Cao family's brilliant family.

Since Cao Xi was the first doctor.His son Cao Yin and grandson Cao Yong also held this post. Until Cao dismissed him in the fifth year of Yongzheng, there were more than [-] years before and after, and the time when Cao was not in office was only six years.

The reason why the imperial court has not moved the Cao family is partly because the Cao family used to be the emperor's close ministers, but more importantly,

Jiangning weaving has the most advanced weaving technology in the Qing Dynasty. Some technologies, even the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, cannot break through.

You must know that the relationship between Jiangning weaving, Suzhou weaving and Hangzhou weaving is intricate, and one thing affects the whole body.

Therefore, since his ascension to the throne, fourth master has placed officials in the three major weaving mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to gradually disintegrate the intertwined forces of the three major weaving mansions.

Some regretted not being able to officiate the marriage for Xiang Fu, so Li Jingui and Fourth Master embarked on the road to Jiangning that day.

Fourth Master and Zhang Tingyu were discussing political affairs in the carriage in front, while Li Jingui and Lan Qier were eating melon seeds and chatting in the same carriage.
