Yanzhou Prefecture, this is like the private kingdom of the Confucius Mansion. Before Zhao Yan controlled the administrative power of Yanzhou, the Confucius Prefecture was the overlord here.

All literati in the world can be regarded as disciples of the Confucius Mansion. Therefore, whenever officials come to Yanzhou to take office, they do not care about the Confucius Mansion, and they are even more partial to the Confucius Mansion.

The Confucius Mansion itself is a tax-free class, and the government has continuously cooperated with their nearly two hundred years of expansion, and has formed a huge group.

The Confucius family has no less than 10,000 children, and a strict system has been formed inside, inside, outside and outside.

Core members and marginal members have their own industries, and they are of different sizes, but most of the industries are in the hands of the core members of the Kong Mansion, and some of the Kong members on the edge are even penniless.

The Kong Mansion involves both commerce and agriculture, and of course they have the most land, and the core personnel have more than 5 million acres of land.

There has been no development in business in recent years.

Because Zhao Yan didn't miss the Kong Mansion, he had no purchase channels for selling glass mirrors, and other aspects were even more frustrated, and the business was snatched away by Shandong merchants.

It was fine when local officials favored them in the past, but after Zhao Yan took control of the administrative power of Yanzhou Prefecture, the Confucius Prefecture faced a different form.

Without the government and the Confucius Mansion colluded with officials and businessmen, even many of the fastest profit points in Yanzhou were lost. Now there are only some hotels and pawn shops, restaurants and other industries that are still profitable. There is no need to think about those selling. The number of Shandong merchants has increased so far in recent years, and almost every business will go to do it. With the management capabilities of the Confucius Mansion, it cannot keep up with the development of the "trend".

Now the Kong Mansion can only rely on land.

Due to the increase in labor costs and the large number of workers traveling to Lai, the Confucius Mansion did not have enough tenants, so now it is planned to turn all the five million acres of arable land in its hands into a farm.

Playing the farm model on this farm land with extremely high economic benefits... Isn't this a slap? Zhao Yan must have slap them, because Xisanfu is his important cotton-producing land.

He played with agricultural products and had a cotton spoon.

Resolutely confiscate it.

The Kong Mansion has also felt some strange atmosphere recently.

It can be seen from the "Da Ming Dynasty Yuebao" that the Zheng Mansion in Shandong is focusing its attention on their heads, but the Kong Mansion is fearless.

They are a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years after Confucius. Who is he afraid of?

Everyone in the Confucius Mansion believed that there was no eternal dynasty, but there was an eternal Confucius Mansion. No matter who seized the world, the first one would come to win over them.

This has become a habit of the formation of dynasties in history.

The Confucius Mansion is naturally fearless.

But he was still very angry with Zhao Yan. The head of the Kong family scolded Zhao Yan and the martial arts husband every day.

Now Shandong is engaged in education, so there is no need for Confucianism.

The Kong family still felt a sense of crisis, but they were helpless against Zhao Yan. At the same time, they were also a little lucky in their hearts, thinking that Zhao Yan would not succeed in the end.

...The frame-up of the Kong Mansion began soon. Through the intelligence collection of the Intelligence Department, some stains on the Kong Mansion's business operations were quickly dug out.

At the same time, the Confucius Mansion also killed two slaves last year. However, these stains were not enough to defeat the Confucius Mansion.

So it is necessary to frame it. At the end of March, a shocking incident occurred in the Kong Mansion. A servant from the Kong Mansion revealed to the reporter of the Ming Dynasty that the head of the Kong Mansion actually took off the ashes.

Once published, it became news about the explosion.

The incident of the Confucius Mansion killing two slaves was published together. The Ming Dynasty law clearly stipulates that private individuals are not allowed to be punished.

There are also various ugly inside stories about collusion between officials and businessmen.

The stains of the Confucius Mansion and this scandal broke out together, which immediately caused a thousand waves, and all the scholars in the world were stunned.

But there are also personal and physical evidence listed in the newspaper.

The evidence for the collusion between officials and businessmen and the beating of domestic slaves is extremely conclusive. However, there is no evidence for the scandal of that surname, but it is just a servant who reveals the news.

But even if the Confucius Mansion has a mouth, it is difficult to distinguish such things.

You said you didn’t take off the ashes! You didn’t have any wind and waves. You said you didn’t want to take off the ashes! You can’t rule out the possibility of framed people.

However, if such explosive news is published in newspapers published in the Ming Dynasty, most people who do not have much skepticism in the real name of the news believe that the head of the Kong family is scattering the ashes.

This is a huge scandal! If the people in the country do such a behavior, they will be soaked in a pig cage.

Then the Ming Dynasty Daily reported on the excessive luxury of the Confucius Mansion in life, and the Confucius Mansion did not place a grain of rice and grain during the great disaster in the Wanli period more than 20 years ago.

Qilu is known as a country of rituals and music, but in the disaster more than 20 years ago, the phenomenon of eating people in the streets occurred. The Confucius Mansion has existed for thousands of years. Since it is a bondage of rituals and music, why is it still so ugly?

The Ming Dynasty Daily discussed this issue.

Why has the Confucius Mansion, which has existed for thousands of years, not changed the atmosphere in Shandong? Is the existence of Confucius Mansion really beneficial to the people of the world?

The Kong Mansion, which was pushed to the forefront by the Ming Dynasty, was already in chaos at this moment.

The head of the Kong family was furious and the letters were constantly sent out, explaining the problems disclosed in the Ming Dynasty. However, the Kong family was unable to stop the continued attacks of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Kong Mansion has no power or soldiers, and Zhao Yan has no soldiers but is not controlled by anyone. Who will stop him?

Although the Confucius Mansion continues to deliver letters, can this efficiency be comparable to the "Da Ming Dynasty Daily"? "Da Ming Dynasty Daily" spreads the newspapers across the country, which is almost known to everyone in the world. After seeing the news in the "Da Ming Dynasty Daily", many people's impression of the Confucius Mansion became very interesting!

Remove from ashes!

So funny.

This topic is really explosive. Kong's behavior of tearing down the ashes quickly became a hot topic for people to discuss after dinner.

However, the Confucius Mansion was not without influence. Soon, the Ming Dynasty newspaper received many letters criticizing newspapers and magazines, including scholars from all over the country.

As usual, the contents of these letters must be published in the Ming Dynasty newspaper, but this time, the head of the newspaper quickly asked Zhao Yan what to do.

"We will be treated as much as we should. If we send it out, we will be open-minded. If we don't send it out, our reputation will soon be bad." Zhao Yan didn't care about these comments criticizing newspapers. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty Daily did not say that there must be this thing, but a servant from the Confucius Mansion revealed the news to the reporter.

Furthermore, if these comments are posted, the "Da Ming Dynasty Journey" will appear to be open and honest. As long as you add some rebuttals below these comments, most readers will choose to believe "Da Ming Dynasty Journey".

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, there are even more vicious tricks to come.

While he was jumping up and down the Kong Mansion to clarify the matter, Zhao Yan directly led his troops to Yanzhou and surrounded Kong Mansion.

The people in the Kong Mansion were frightened.

This time, Zhao Yan took action personally and surrounded the Confucius Mansion and immediately ordered the house to be raided.

Copy it first!

The Confucius Mansion has existed for thousands of years, and the development process has lasted for about five or six hundred years. With such a long-term development, its savings will inevitably be abundant!

Zhao Yan was unbearable if he didn't copy the Kong Mansion.

With Zhao Yan's order, hundreds of soldiers rushed into the Kong Mansion and entered the procedure of raiding the house. In less than twenty minutes, all the people inside the Kong Mansion were controlled.

Then you can start to check the property in Kong Mansion.

All the people in the Confucius Mansion were frightened. How could the Shandong army suddenly rush into the Confucius Mansion? Before they could react, a large group of soldiers took them into the prison van.

"General, the silver treasury has been found." As soon as the house was confiscated, soldiers came to report.

"Okay, go and have a look." Zhao Yan was shocked and rushed to check it out in person.

It was a cellar. After Zhao Yan walked down the cellar, he found that the cellar was very large, at least about 200 square meters. It took a lot of effort to build such a large cellar.

When I walked down, I immediately felt a chill.

"General, this is their ice cellar, and the lower layer is where the silver is placed."

"Grass, I've made so many famous things." Zhao Yan criticized him in his heart, and then led the soldiers down the lower floor of the ice cellar.

The next floor is obviously much smaller, but just when I walked in, I saw many red painted wooden boxes.

Zhao Yan asked someone to open the wooden box. After the wooden box was opened, it was filled with white silver. The wooden box was constantly opened by personal soldiers, and silver was exposed in each box.

When the lowest box is opened, what is exposed inside is gold, at least a dozen boxes of gold.

"There are at least 600 taels of silver, and at least 500,000 taels of gold." The professionals in Zhao Yan's belt made a rough estimate and reported to Zhao Yan.

"Yes, move them all back." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

"General, the land deed has been found." At this time, someone came to report that the person behind him carried a small box of five miles and opened it. There were contracts inside.

The contracts contained in each small box are different. There are those who specially load the land deeds, some specialize in house deeds, some specialize in store deeds, some specialize in usury receipts... There are hundreds of them.

With these land deeds, the industries of the Confucius Mansion will be caught in one go.

Zhao Yan immediately ordered people to take all these out and continue to search the house!

The house search lasted for more than half a day, and all the valuable gold, silver and treasures inside and outside the Kong Mansion were confiscated by Zhao Yan, leaving only one Kong Mansion there.

Then Zhao Yan took his troops back to Zhaojia Fort, and at the same time, he asked someone to arrest the core members of the Kong family, leaving a platoon of soldiers to guard the Confucius Mansion.

In this era, information transmission was not developed. After Zhao Yan copied the Kong Mansion, no one knew about it for a while.

Zhao Yan, who returned to Zhaojiabao, immediately let the Ming Dynasty newspaper publish the news that "Kongfu communicates with the enemy and treason, and trades with Jianlu".

This trick is amazing.

If a big hat of a transaction with the Qing Dynasty was taken down, the Kong Mansion was difficult to distinguish. After all, Zhao Yan conquered Liaodong, searched many documents left by the Qing Dynasty, and made up any of them, and no one else could say it was fake.

At the same time, Zhao Yan also found an external member of the Kong Mansion, Kong Wenbin. Kong Wenbin was a member of the Kong family who was closer to the core but outside the core. He was kicked out of the Kong Mansion due to bad habits such as gambling.

Since then, Kong Wenbin has hated the Kong Mansion and has lost a lot in the casino. As a result, the Intelligence Department immediately agreed to cooperate as soon as he came to him.

The Ming Dynasty newspaper planned for three days and sent out the new issue page.

… “On the eighth day of March, General Jianwei suddenly led his troops to the Kong Mansion and arrested all the core members of the Kong family present. According to the police department, the Kong Mansion was suspected of transporting Shandong combat materials to Liaodong at sea in the seventh, eighth and nineth year of Chongzhen. The amount involved was as high as 3 million taels. At present, the police department has filed a lawsuit against the core members of the Kong Mansion to the Shandong Supreme Court…”

"According to the details learned by the reporter, the transaction in the seventh year of Chongzhen was chaired by the core member of the Kong Mansion, "Kong Wenbin". After hearing the mission assigned by the Kong Mansion, Kong Wenbin refused the matter with great righteousness, which angered the Kong Mansion and Kong Wenbin was expelled from the Kong family. According to Kong Wenbin, the Kong Mansion ship only set out on May 6, the seventh year of Chongzhen, and the ship was filled with gunpowder, pig iron, weapons and other materials, and even plate armor used by the Shandong Army..."
