Chapter 890 West Factory
The eunuchs in the Forbidden City were mocking Lai Fu, saying that he was a fool. Dongchang Factory Master, he would rather stay with the prince and be a little eunuch.
"I said Brother Lai Fu, what are you trying to do? Dongchang Factory Master, that was chosen by the Emperor of Long Live, and the mighty and powerful people surrendered. Even the adults in the court must respect you very much. Why are you doing this? What's the good thing about being around the Prince?"
"That's Brother Laifu, don't forget that you are just a poor eunuch. This time, I'm so proud of you, and you're just in front of you."
"I think it's because Lai Fu manages the imperial village well, which left a deep impression on Master Long Sui. If it were a villain like me, who would pay attention to us? Lai Fu, Lai Fu, you are so stupid. If you become the Dong Factory Manager, we can also keep up with you. On weekdays, brothers will take care of you a lot."
On weekdays, the eunuchs from all the palaces who had a good time playing with Zhong Cui Palace gathered together to whisper. They all felt sorry for Lai Fu, and he actually refused such a beautiful woman.
Lai Fu just smiled slightly and said to them, "What's the solution? The prince is busy with official duties and there is no one around him to take care of him. I think so, the prince cannot live without people around me. I can also share the worries of the prince's son, right? As for the Dongchang Mansion, we are a little uninformed, how dare we take the great responsibility?"
Lai Fu refused the Dongchang Factory, and Emperor Chongzhen was inexplicably surprised. He had no choice but to choose from another hall in the end.
It was Chongzhen's business, and Lai Fu had no courage to refuse directly. He could only refuse on the grounds of taking care of the prince.
Of course, Zhu Cilang's purpose could not be made known to his father, Emperor Chongzhen, that after the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would start a massacre of East China Factory and Jinyiwei.
The more rampant you are today, the more miserable you will be in the future.
In the Dongchang, Cao Zhenxiang from the Yangxin Palace was eventually appointed as the supervisor of the Dongchang. Cao Zhenxiang was sinister and vicious. He was a good candidate to lead the Dongchang.
The West Factory's official businessman is not only able to spend money, but also make money. Since the East and West Factory was built, the West Factory received 300,000 taels of silver.
Where did these silver come from? It was bribed by officials from various departments. When these court officials heard that the emperor re-opened the world factory, they naturally shivered.
An Jinyiwei organization has already made them rack their brains to think about how to save themselves and come to another factory for the things. If they pursue these court officials again, their every move will be under their surveillance.
To put it bluntly, they record everything you fart. Every day, they live cautiously and cautiously, and even if they lose their hands, how can they live that day?
If you can't live your life, you can only use the same trick again. First use a lot of money and bribe it.
However, Cao Zhenxiang, the governor of the East Factory, was sinister and vicious. The court officials had heard of this person for a long time, so no one dared to give Cao Zhenxiang a gift.
The court officials were all veterans who observed the words and expressions. They knew that Cao Zhenxiang was the only one who was loyal to the emperor. The reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose him as the governor of the East Factory was naturally a reason for the emperor.
But the money spent in the West Factory was different. This person had been gambled in the palace before and was punished by the admiral and eunuch. However, this person refused to change his life and was almost beaten to death after all.
Importantly, it is said that Yuhuaqian and Cao Zhenxiang have always been incompatible. The two of them have become increasingly kinship. When the one who reported Yuhuaqian to gamble in the palace was the sinister Cao Zhenxiang.
Eunuch Cao was difficult to deal with, and the court officials were willing to understand the gods, and they all pointed their finger at the Xichang Factory and Gongyubao.
And the smiling Yuhua money looked much more amiable. He actually never refused to accept the officials who gave money.
At this moment, all the officials seemed to have found a backer. Those officials whose butts were originally unclean came like flies smelling shit.
Dongchang, that is, Dongjishichang, a privileged supervisory agency, a secret police agency and a secret police agency in the Ming Dynasty. In the 18th year of Yongle, the Ming Chengzu established Dongjishichang, with trusted eunuchs as the leader. The location is located in the north of Dong'anmen Square in the capital. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei and the East-West Factory were ranked side by side, and their activities were strengthened, and they were often collectively called "Factory Guards". Dongchang's power was above the Jinyiwei, and it was only responsible to the emperor. Without the approval of the judicial authorities, it could supervise and arrest subjects at will, thus opening up the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty's politics.
The West Factory used Yuhua Qian as the admiral, and the factory site was located in front of Lingji Palace, and the old ash factory was used as the headquarters of the factory. The establishment of the East and West Factory prompted the Ming Dynasty to return to the old path of eunuchs interfering in politics.
The difference is that before, the factory guards were rampant and the emperor lived in the palace without caring about political affairs, which led to a terrible situation where eunuchs were in chaos in politics.
However, when he arrived at Chongzhen, Chongzhen was not idle. Although he established the East and West Factory and reused the Jinyiwei, Emperor Chongzhen still did the matter with his own hands.
This also limits the East China Factory and the Jinyiwei to the greatest extent. After all, the emperor is not a good meal. No matter what, Emperor Chongzhen is staring at it.
Under the pressure from the emperor, these factory guards did not dare to be too blatant. They had to act low-key and not be too ostentatious.
However, when it comes to collecting money, the West Factory Yuhua money has always been accepted. He sat upright in the West Factory Office and blatantly accepted bribes from civil and military officials below.
"Oh, the emperor ordered our family to take charge of this Western Factory. You said that our Western Factory is different from others. The factory office has not been built, and the Western Factory lacks talents like you. Our family has always been doing things impartially, but we can't do anything with it."
"Eunuch Yu is right. The officials are in a hurry. I would like to accept this little respect from you."
Looking at the thick silver notes on the table, a chuckled flashed across Yu Huaqian's mouth: "Oh, I said, Lord Wu, what are you doing? You have been staying in this Dali Temple for a while. Let's talk to Master Long, that our court lacks talents like you."
The official of Dali Temple immediately smiled happily and hurriedly bowed to Yuhuaqian: "Thank you, thank you, Eunuch Yu, thank you for your kind words in front of Master Long Live. After you get a rank, you will be the one of Eunuch Yu. If you have a destiny, the official will definitely not refuse."
Originally, Yuhua Qian, who had collected money, would naturally be polite. Unexpectedly, after he put the thick silver notes on the table in his arms, he just said lightly: "Come here, see off the guests!"
Lord Wu from Dali Temple was trembling and did not dare to flatter him anymore. Who made this eunuch a celebrity in front of the emperor? I think that if he received the money, the West Factory would not make things difficult for him. It was equivalent to spending money to ensure safety.
