Chapter 230 Survival of the fittest
"Sun Zushou did a good job. He knew how to mobilize troops from the Fengtai camp in advance to prevent emergencies." Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hand and said with approval. Then he looked at Luo Yangxing and said: "Luo Yangxing, your Jinyiwei side.
, how is the investigation going?"
"Your Majesty, everything has been found out."
Luo Yangxing hurriedly picked up the memorial in his hand and said respectfully: "The guys who went to the Chongwen Gate Customs House all have people to rely on behind them, and some of them have quite a big background.
Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Han Zanzhou hurriedly walked towards Luo Yangxing, took the memorial and prepared to present it to his emperor for inspection.
"Recently, there are storytellers organized by Jinyiwei at the Meridian Gate. Is there anything new?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand and said to Luo Yangxing: "In addition, what's new about the public opinion in the capital?
Is there any direction?"
"Your Majesty, there is nothing special happening here at the Meridian Gate." Luo Yangxing bowed his hands and said, "It's just the storytellers responsible for publicizing Yuan Chonghuan's deeds. Several of them have disappeared in recent days."
"There is such a thing."
Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, put down the memorial, looked at Luo Yangxing and said, "Have your Jinyi Guards investigated this matter? Are these people dead or alive?"
"Check it!"
Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Li Qianshi was responsible for investigating this matter. The person has been killed, but the results of the investigation make me a little puzzled.
The person who planned this seems to be a member of the Li family."
"Is this the Li family mentioned in the memorial?"
Emperor Chongzhen raised the memorial, stared at Luo Yangxing and said, "What did those storytellers who were killed say and compile during their lifetimes?"
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Originally, a group of storytellers were organized to publicize Yuan Chonghuan's numerous crimes in various workshops in the capital, in order to combat the manipulated public opinion, but they failed to catch a big fish.
"It's that Li family!"
Luo Yangxing cupped his hands and said: "However, I am not very clear about what those storytellers said or compiled during their lifetime. Li Qianshi has always been responsible for this matter."
"Um."
Emperor Chongzhen responded, handed the memorial in his hand to Han Zanzhou and said: "Luo Yangxing, you have to do two things now.
If someone continues to spread Yuan Chonghuan's crimes, the storyteller should send someone to protect him and tell them to continue doing what they should do.
Someone sent someone to tell Li Ruolian and ask him to take this memorial to the Shuntian Mansion Office and tell Sun Boya that anyone who dares to provoke the Ming Dynasty's laws should be arrested."
"I accept the decree!"
Luo Yangxing hurriedly raised his hands and responded.
'I didn't expect to catch such a big fish.' Looking at Luo Yangxing leaving in a hurry, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting, tapping the dragon case with his fingers, and secretly said: 'The Li family of the late Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang, his son Li Ruzhen
, is the current head of the Li family, the storyteller who was convicted and killed in the house. What kind of nonsense did he tell that touched the nerves of the Li family?'
Emperor Chongzhen was no stranger to Li Chengliang. When he was guarding Liaodong, he helped the Ming Dynasty stabilize the border situation, but there were also many things worthy of criticism.
The rise of Nurhaci.
All over the court, disciples and former officials of Liaodong.
The founder of the prototype of Liaodong Jiangmen.
Once this person gets older, he will inevitably think about future generations. Li Chengliang is one of them. The Ming Dynasty was beaten in the Liaodong region and lost all face. The Li family, represented by Li Chengliang, must bear certain historical responsibilities.
Especially Li Ruzhen, who was in charge of the crime, committed such a serious crime and caused heavy losses to the Ming Dynasty, but his head was not chopped off. If there was no trick in this, Emperor Chongzhen would not believe it.
"Your Majesty... Eunuch Wang sent someone to convey the news that the first batch of convenience stores have been taken care of." Han Zanzhou leaned slightly and said cautiously.
"Yes, I understand." Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Han Zanzhou, go and call Gao Qiqian for me."
"Here!"
Since a fish has jumped out on his own initiative, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not let it go. He wants to find out some things. At the moment, Cao Huachun, Fang Zhenghua and the others are not with him, so some things still need to be done by special people.
…
"Eunuch Fang, our family is a little confused. Why don't you open all the convenience stores?" Lu Jiude looked puzzled and looked at Wang Chengen and said, "What a great opportunity it is now. The price of food here in the capital is...
, salt prices, etc., have all increased to varying degrees. This is all thanks to those guys. If..."
"Eunuch Lu, sometimes you are too impatient, which is not a good thing."
Wang Chengen, who was sitting firmly on the official chair, picked up the hot tea next to him, blew in the hot steam, took a sip, and said: "In those convenience stores, many people and many things are not properly arranged.
If you rush to spread those convenience stores, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. Don't forget, what is the purpose of your Majesty asking me to control these convenience stores?"
"Our family understands."
After being reminded by Wang Chengen, Lu Jiude understood and nodded: "Either don't do it, or do it right. If the people in the neighborhood don't believe in convenience stores because of some trivial things, then they will miss this opportunity."
opportunity.”
"You're only talking about one side."
Wang Chengen put down the tea cup in his hand, and then continued: "Our family is going to pass the first batch of convenience stores to cause some people to cause chaos.
At the same time, a group of merchants were screened in order to bundle them under convenience stores and enrich the items sold by the convenience stores. Those tax resisters, no matter what the background behind them, will definitely be severely punished.
But the things that all parties under the capital's rule need will not be completely shut down when they are imprisoned, so seizing these industries as soon as possible is what we have to do."
As the most trusted person of Emperor Chongzhen, and also in charge of a large internal factory, Wang Chengen knew that his emperor valued the internal factory extremely.
But if he had to take care of everything by himself, even if he was exhausted, he would not be able to do everything well. Therefore, he had to train Lu Jiude and a group of reliable and trustworthy eunuchs who would be in charge of the big industry in the future.
Responsible for the affairs of each stall.
Now that the matter of the convenience store has been dealt with, everything that should be said to Lu Jiude has been explained clearly, so Wang Chengen is ready to leave this matter to Lu Jiude.
"Eunuch Lu, we will leave the matter of the convenience store to your master."
Wang Chengen stood up and said with a serious expression: "You have to take care of this matter well. Don't let anything go wrong. Don't do things you shouldn't do. Don't blame our family for not reminding you.
At the moment, there are still many things that need to be taken care of by our family here at the Dacheng Factory. If this errand is done well, the credit will be yours, but if it is done badly, then we will wait to be punished, especially you!"
