Chapter 101 Is this the emperor's technique of the emperor?

After seeing the people from the East Factory coming to his place, Zuo Guangdou did not resist at all. He only said to Yang Huan, the head of the East Factory, and said, "I didn't want to work hard, Yang Huan! Please."

As he said that, Zuo Guangdou came to Dongchang.

As soon as he arrived at the East Factory to see Wei Zhongxian, Zuo Guangdou just smiled slightly: "Eunuch Wei wants to ask questions according to the order?"

Seeing Zuo Guangdou say this, Wei Zhongxian laughed a lot and thought that he would not have to be so tired for a long time. Then he said, "Zuo Yushi is a sensible person, so we don't talk nonsense. The emperor should know who was the one who spread this news?"

Zuo Guangdou bowed and replied, "I dare not hide it from the emperor! This is learned from Xu Shilin, a disciple of Mr. Xiuwu."

Wei Zhongxian nodded his head and said, "Then please let the Zuo Jingshi feel wronged for the time being, stay here and wait for our family to report to the emperor. If it is okay, the emperor will only ask our family to let you go back."

"Thank you, my father-in-law."

Zuo Guangdou bowed and replied.

Zhou Shunchang and Lian State Affairs, who were still breathing on the spring bench, were shocked and said to himself: "This is over? Don't be beaten?"

...

"The East Factory also found out that this was indeed Xu Shilin, a student of the Imperial College in Nanjing, was secretly instructing someone to do this, so I think Zuo Guangdou did not lie!"

After Wei Zhongxian reported to Zhu Youxiao, he took the initiative to analyze it.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly: "It seems that this Zuo Guangdou is quite sensible."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "You are the admiral of the East Factory. You continue to talk about your views and what do you think should be done with this matter."

Wei Zhongxian had already prepared for a long time and just waited for the emperor to ask himself, so he immediately replied: "From my servant, this Xu Shilin, an ordinary student, cannot have such a bad intention, and must harm the mother of a court official. It is probably the commander of his head Li Sancai, who is instructing him!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked, "I asked your Dongchang to monitor Li Sancai long ago. How is the current surveillance?"

"Go back to the emperor and keep monitoring."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, "Then let's arrest Xu Shilin and Li Sancai secretly! Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Shunchang and others were imprisoned in the imperial prison first, so as not to be released before they communicate with Li Sancai! Although Li Sancai could not directly participate in this matter, they had to be arrested first!"

"I obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian replied immediately.

Zhu Youxiao knew about Li Sancai.

He knew that Li Sancai was a wealthy businessman in Tongzhou and was also one of the leaders of Donglin. He once had a party struggle with Gu Xiancheng at the end of the Wanli period, and he also strongly resisted tax supervision when he was an official in the local area.

What Zhu Youxiao remembers most is that he used the golden nanmu wood specially used by the Royal Royal to build his own residence.

This forced Zhu Youxiao to admit that Li San was a very brave person.

According to Zhu Youxiao's knowledge, even the "History of Ming Dynasty" says that Li Sancai "cannot be honest in nature, so he was destroyed by the public."

Therefore, what Zhu Youxiao can confirm is that Li San is a corrupt official, and he is a corrupt official who is very brave and does not take the imperial majesty seriously.

Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao appointed Wei Zhongxian to control the East Factory, he asked Wei Zhongxian to strengthen the East Factory's strength to monitor Li Sancai closely.

However, Li Sancai naturally would not have thought that a person who was dismissed from his post and returned home would have been targeted by the newly ascended emperor.

...

"Master, the gentlemen of Donglin in the capital have learned this news. Now, the news of Xu Guangqi's mother Qian's death has spread throughout the capital. Next, I will wait for the news that Xu Guangqi's death was due to return to his hometown or the emperor's love."

Xu Shilin started to speak to Li Sancai at this time.

Li Sancai looked at him and said, "What's next has nothing to do with us. Xu Guangqi's family was able to go out to sea so much cotton yarn, and let the emperor know the secret of three million taels of silver. How are you investigating now? Do you know the details?"

As he said that, Li Sancai said again: "I can't understand the most now. Why did the Xu family suddenly take out so much cotton yarn without knowing it, and why did he willingly make most of the profits to the emperor! If we don't understand this, the Xu family will be gone, and there will be a Zhang family, Wang family, and Li family, because this undoubtedly shows that the emperor has an emperor's magic trick that can make a gentry willing to be his lackey!"

Xu Shilin said: "The young man has been asking them to inquire carefully, but the young man has discovered something wrong. Since last year, although the Xu family has increased a lot of cotton yarn production in its yarn mill, the yarn worker has not increased much."

When Li Sancai heard Xu Shilin say this, he stood up suddenly: "What did you say? The Xu family did not recruit yarn workers in a large scale?"

Xu Shilin nodded: "Yes, it has always been his Xu family and his relatives and neighbors working for him, and he has not recruited yarn workers from outside."

"Impossible! Such a large-scale cotton yarn cannot be enough for him and his family and his relatives!"

Li Sancai said again, "Unless his Xu family has mastered new spinning skills!"

"The master is wise! If this is true, this new spinning skill is too terrible. The Xu family has increased the output of so much cotton yarn, but it does not increase the yarn work much. Almost one person has a spun off the amount of spinning that is equivalent to seven or eight times that of ordinary people! If they really have such powerful spinning skills, I don't know why they are willing to give the benefits of such good spinning skills to the emperor unless it is a skill given by the emperor."

Xu Shilin analyzed it.

"Son of Heaven?"

Li Sancai started to murmur.

After reading it, Li San knocked on the table and said, "When Zi ascended the throne today, there were rumors of good carpenter work. Now, it should be that the emperor himself had mastered the new spinning secret, otherwise, the Xu family could not have suddenly produced more cotton yarn with the same person."

As he said that, suddenly, Li Sancai threw the teacup in his hand to the ground: "It should be that! There is no other possibility!"

Li Sancai was excited and said: "The emperor actually used this kind of strange trick to deal with our scholars and officials who benefited the world! I thought he had used some brilliant imperial skills! It was really abominable that the geniuses in Jiangnan could contribute three million and two huge sums of money after hearing this. It was really abominable! Damn!"

Li Sancai was furious.

"He actually thought of using this trick to deal with us! And he actually relied on this to make the Xu family aristocrats willing to pay him three million taels of money! Sun Chengzong was willing to make money for him!"

For a moment, Li Sancai was furious and vomited blood: "When did this strange trick cause our scholars and doctors to suffer such a great loss?"

"You can't let the Xu family make profits through this strange trick, nor can the emperor make profits through this strange trick. You can immediately send someone to Jiangnan to mobilize other gentry members in Jiangnan. You can either find a way to make the Xu family not have such strange tricks, or find a way to make the Xu family use strange tricks, otherwise we, the literati and officials, will not be able to get the business profit alone!"

Li Sancai said excitedly.

"Yes! I'll send someone to do it now!"
