The world is full of money

Bazhou has temporarily entered a state of peace. In the first month of the year, the people searched for charlatans everywhere and found the defrauded property from the government according to the incense book. They just stopped in a noisy way. After Shengfang Town arrested more than 100 "Dashun State officials" and were imprisoned. The civilians in Gu'an were later destroyed, killing Zhang Zhong, the eunuch in custody. The government has no reaction now. The people do not know how the court will treat this civilian rebellion. The market is completely quiet, and few people go to the streets if nothing happens.

As a result, the government announced that Shengfang was the chief of the rioters of the people, also known as Zhao Wanxing, who was infatuated and proclaimed himself emperor. He was extremely guilty and sentenced to beheading. The so-called six ministers, the left and right prime ministers and generals were sent to Hami Guards. After the rest of the blind followers were released, no matter whether it was the Western City beheading prisoners or the prison carriages drove away from Bazhou, few people dared to go out to watch, which avoided Wang Mantang's embarrassment. The Wang family sent only an old family member, brought a sedan chair, and quietly took his daughter home.

It was already the first month, but officials from nearby counties and towns ran to Bazhou more frequently. Liang Hong was not ignorant of these abnormal movements, and Yang Ling did not want to hide it from him at all when the officials in Bazhou reported and exposed Zhang Zhong's crimes. Liang Hong immediately recorded the relevant situation in detail and rushed to the capital to report to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin is now worried about the inner factory. After Liu Jin's dynasty is in power and his family is making money every day, the joy in the corners of his eyes has not yet gone, and the royal relatives also come happily, but they are not here to give gifts, but each of them takes a contract signed with the inner factory and happily receive the bonus.

Liu Jin didn't take it seriously at first, and sent the nobles with a smile, saying that the business was getting bigger and bigger, and it took some time to register the account and let them come back in a few days. Then he ordered someone to go to the inner factory and let Luo Xiang settle the accounts quickly. However, as soon as the inner factory settled, he actually lost a lot of money. With the fact that no matter how those wastes were checked, there was no problem in the account.

Liu Jin rushed to the inner factory in anger and personally summoned Wu Jie, who was sick at home. Wu Jie was obedient and came as soon as he called. The old man was in high spirits and flushed on his face, as if he had gained weight. However...... People said that he had rheumatism. Even if he had good complexion and fatness, what else could you say?

Liu Jin led a group of new staff in the inner factory to question the Wu factory governor. Wu Jie was calm and talked freely, and talked to them about business information, such as early investment, intermediate output, and intangible assets. Some words were said by Yu Yong, and some new terms were all taught by Yang Ling to Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei, and then to the accounting office of the inner factory. Wu Jie was only influenced by the ears and ears, but although he could speak it, he did not understand its meaning.

Wu Jie didn't understand it himself, but he was arrogant and taught Liu Jin and others a lesson. He talked nonsense, and heard it, and he and a group of ignorant internal factory leaders were dizzy. He was originally trying to teach Wu Jie a lesson. This time he showed his timidity.

Liu Jin had to change his smile, serve him good tea, and ask him to sit down, and asked politely: "Director Wuchang, we heard that when the internal factory was established, we had made a lot of money every day. Why did this person get it to our company and pay it instead?"

Wu Jie crossed his legs and looked around mysteriously, then lowered his voice: "Dadfather, there are tricks here. I'll tell you, don't tell anyone outside, otherwise our business will be completely compensated once the royal relatives draw money...!"

When Liu Jin heard that he was going to pay money, his face tightened. He quickly leaned over and said respectfully, "Governor Wuchang, please tell me bluntly. You and I are a family now. We are our own family and will not let outsiders listen." A bunch of close friends also surrounded him, pricking up his ears and listening quietly.

Wu Jie then said mysteriously: "Dad father-in-law knows why the business of our internal factory started to be rich. Did the marquis who invested in the royal family, including the emperor, the empress dowager, several princesses, princesses, and those princesses, and those princesses, and those princesses, and the marquis have made a lot of money?"

Liu Jin shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't know, I want to know, why are you asking?"

"Hehehe!" Wu Jie smiled till three times, lowered his voice and said, "Dadfather-in-law, you said we don't steal or rob, so how could it open last month? It will attract wealth and treasure next month? It's impossible!"

Liu Jin was anxious: "Impossible? Impossible why did the royal relatives immediately share the money? A lot of real money and silver, this is not fake, what do you say?"

Wu Jie rolled his eyes and said, "This is not simple, you can tear down the east wall and repair the west wall."

Wu Jie looked heart-wrenching and said, "Dadfather-in-law, doing business. Although we have the care of our internal factory, we need to set up a sign and attract enough and stable repeat customers. It will take two years to do so. Then we will sit quietly at home and attract wealth and treasures. But it was not possible at the beginning. We need money inadequate funds, and we need to make the emperor, the royal relatives happy, rest assured, what should we do?

Yangchang Superintendent... Ah! No, no, it was Yang Guogong. He used the money from the royal relatives who had invested in the future to give dividends to the owners who had invested in the first place. He told them that this was earned from doing business, so the sign started, and more people were anxious to give us money. We came in with our left hand and our right hand, and we came in with our left hand and our right hand. Just like that, none of them could see it. They all felt that our internal factory had great magical powers...."

"Oh..." The heads of the staff smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: It turned out that we were not incompetent, but that Yang Ling was too cunning.

When Liu Jin heard this, his neck became thicker, and he stood up and said, "Isn't this a waste of money? Isn't it a passing God of Wealth after making trouble for a long time? Now he has invested in the land of willingness to invest, and he can even cheat anyone. What should I do?"

"Shh~~, the factory secrets!"

"Oh, confidential..." Liu Jin hurriedly sat down again and lowered his voice, "Now all those who can cheat are almost the same. Now the royal relatives are asking me for bonuses. Why should I pay for his surname Yang? No! If our family doesn't suffer this loss, I have to explain the situation with the boss and ask them to settle the score with Yang Ling. Our family won't be able to do it for him!"

Wu Jie slapped his thigh and said, "Father-in-law, you can't help but not push this tank!"

Liu Jin glared and said, "Why can't it work? Who dares to force me?"

Wu Jie comforted his heart and said, "First of all, this is not the debt owed by Duke Yang, but the debt owed by the internal factory. If you ask them to find Duke Yang, you can't stand it. Besides, our business is about to start making money. I thought that there will be money in the beginning of spring and that you will be able to make a fortune by the end of the year.

Now let’s explain the situation? We lied to you, but we haven’t made any money yet. In the past, they used to fool you with your land money. When these royal relatives turned against each other, they would definitely withdraw funds and leave. In that case, as soon as their father-in-law took over the internal factory, their reputation would be damaged. Not to mention anything else, there are tens of thousands of people in our internal factory. Where does the monthly land salary come from? Didn’t this be slaughtered by us just after they were raised to lay eggs?"

When Liu Jin heard it made sense, he touched his bare chin and asked, "Then... what did Yang Ling plan to do? If he still holds the inner factory today, he will encounter this scene. Isn't it possible to have any solution, right?"

Wu Jie spread his hands and said, "This........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................, I don't know what to do."

Liu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Where is Yu Yong? Hasn't he been in charge of the business? Our family has been in charge of the inner factory for more than a month, why hasn't he come back to pay a visit?"

"Dadfather, you also know that the account at the end of the year is that we only know how to fight and kill. Who knows these things? They are all directed at Yu Yong running around. Now there are two accounts of the mansion that have not been checked. We should be back to Beijing soon."

Wu Jie paused and said worriedly: "Dadfather-in-law, now it is a hurdle for our internal factory. If you can pass it smoothly, it is not just a shame to overcome it. A penny will stump the heroes. Our internal factory has always been the only one among the three factories and one bathroom. It depends entirely on you whether you can stand up now."

"Yes, yes, father-in-law, you have to do something. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. If there is no money, how can we command tens of thousands of troops?" The heads of the staff responded in unison.

Liu Jin squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying and said, "Uh... Don't worry, haha, is this little thing difficult for our family? Well...... Wu Changgong has been watching these days and see how much money he owed the royal relatives and nobles. If we take out an account, our family will have our own way!"

Wu Jie was overjoyed and raised his thumbs up and praised: "My father-in-law is really a god! I have no clue in my heart, and the people in the inner factory are unstable. If you have the words of my father-in-law, the morale of the army will be determined!"

Liu Jin laughed dryly: "You are busy. After the account is ready, report to our family for a number." As he said that, he got up and left. Wu Jie hurriedly led the crowd to bow: "Greatly see my father-in-law."

Liu Jin quietly winked at Luo Xiang, then waved his hand and said, "Forgive it, you are busy, there is no need to send it away." As he said that, he walked out first, and Luo Xiang hurriedly followed behind him quietly.

Liu Jin walked out of the inner factory and stood on the top of the mountain, with a gloomy face. Two rows of guards stood solemnly on their left and right without saying a word. Luo Xiang walked up on tiptoe, and said slightly, "Father-in-law."

Liu Jin didn't look back and just whispered: "Listen, recruit some businessmen and accountants to gradually grasp the business of the internal factory. Don't be in a hurry. First, find out all the tricks before starting. It turns out that the shopkeeper, accountant, and friend, if you don't believe it, change the people, and change them one by one."

Luo Xiang's eyes flashed and he whispered: "My father-in-law is... Can't believe Wu Jie's words?"

Liu Jin shook his head, nodded again, and snorted, "It's not that I believe it. Speaking of which, our family doesn't believe that we just opened a store to do business, and we immediately made money. Maybe Yang Ling really used this method to deceive the royal relatives. But today we wanted to find out the accounts, and we found that we could not understand the accounts, and the people who were in charge of the business were Yang Ling, so we were worried."

"Yes, well... Today, two groups of royal relatives came to ask for dividends with contracts. What kind of trick did my father-in-law really deal with it?" Luo Xiang is now in charge of the business of the internal factory. The staging officers sent by the statutes did not know how to do business and gave him the mission. He also felt that he had made a fortune. Now facing some noble people who collect debts all day long, Luo Xiang was a little overwhelmed.

Liu Jin felt a little painful when he heard this. He instigated and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Our family can deal with this shortage. You can turn around and start changing personnel and clearing the accounts."

"Yes, yes", Luo Xiang looked at his bad expression and quickly agreed, not daring to ask again.

Liu Jin turned around and walked towards the sedan chair, and a guard hurriedly raised the curtain of the sedan chair. At this moment, a horse rushed up the mountain, turned around and got off the horse, hurriedly walked to Liu Jin, presented a letter with both hands, and whispered: "Father-in-law, this is a letter that Eunuch Liang of Bazhou told Xiaodi to submit by himself."

Liu Jin was stunned, took it and put it in his sleeve. He said calmly: "I understand, let's talk about it when I go home."

The messenger said with caution that he led the horse and followed his sedan chair.

Liu Jin entered the sedan chair, and the sedan chair trembled towards the downstairs of the mountain. The sedan chairs were together. Liu Jin hurriedly opened the letter and nervously inspected the contents. Logically speaking, Bazhou should not have any major issues, but the messenger could not wait in the mansion. Instead, he rushed to chase him here and said that he had to submit it himself. Liu Jin was really nervous.

He arranged for Liang Hong to be by Yang Ling's side, but he didn't expect to find any important news. Yang Ling went to Bazhou to confiscate a house, and what big thing could be confiscated? Unexpectedly, a few days ago, there was a story about Yang Ling's clever plan to cure the sage. The land in the capital was spreading vigorously, and even Emperor Zhengde listened to it with relish, but this matter had nothing to do with the officialdom. Now that the gods have finished fighting, could he be unable to withstand loneliness and make some noise?

When he opened the letter, Liu Jin was shocked: Is Zhang Zhong dead?

He hurriedly read the letter and couldn't help but laugh: "I think the mighty Yang Changshen, who was now invincible, is now in a desperate situation. He actually thought that taking advantage of Zhang Zhong's chance to be killed by the rioters, he collected his crimes and found trouble for our family. Haha. I said one Zhang Zhong. If only one hundred Zhang Zhong was guilty, would we be able to defeat our family?"

Liu Jin smiled disdainfully: Our family sent Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong gave our family some filial piety. This is tacit, and there are no black and white words on it. What can you do to me? Zhang Zhong is the one I recommend, but at most he made an inappropriate mistake in recommending the person. Just relying on the emperor's trust in me and the current power in the court, this little thing is still unfair?

However... Zhang Zhong died, and the money for building Xuanming Palace was gone. Oh! It was the money again. Mr. Zhang Cai advised our family not to charge money. If you have such a big family business, you have to buy the emperor again. Can it be done without cash? If you don’t accept bribes, where can we make up so much money? The internal factory owes so many dividends from royal relatives, and this matter cannot be delayed. Now we have to take our own money first and wait until the stores make profits before making a comeback.

Liu Jin disagreed with the secret letter from Liang Hongdi and began to rack his brains to figure out where to make up for the gap in the Xuanming Palace. It would be better... It would be better to make up for the dividends owed by the internal factory. It would be really painful to get the money from his own land!

If you want to ask who is the busiest among the officials in the Ming Dynasty now, so busy that they forget to eat and sleep, and are turning around day and night, then there is no other person except Mr. Zhang Zhong and Zhang. He knew Yang Ling's intentions and knew that Yang Ling was using him, but he was willing to be used.

Yang Ling could not defeat this case, but he was his Duke Wei. He did not suffer any loss from him. If this case was solved, Yang Ling's meritorious status would not be promoted. But it was different for the officials in Bazhou. They were corrupt and they all praised me. Now I, Zhang Zhong, have suffered difficulties, but immediately took the blame. I suffered a loss, and they were not satisfied with their lives.

Especially when I saw the memorial that Chen Zhong not only exposes all kinds of evil deeds in detail, but also adds fuel to the fire and exaggerates, but also puts all the evil things they did on themselves. It is really intolerable. Zhang Zhong refutes and exposes their crimes with a deep hatred.

Every time he tells a person's crime, Zhang Zhong feels as if he sees a person falling into his own hands and a painful face. The feeling is so satisfying, and he even feels great accomplishment in the life and death of others. Zhang Zhong often holds chopsticks in one hand and steamed buns in the other. He is still talking about someone's corruption deeds in a speech.

At first, Yang Ling was worried that he would bite him randomly, and compared the official documents he told him with the officials who exposed him one by one, and sent someone to investigate and collect evidence secretly, but found that everything was consistent and there was no falsehood.

Now every time Zhang Zhong picks up a document to expose him, he looks like he is looking at an enemy: Aren’t you suing me? If you don’t let me live a good life, I won’t let you live a good life either. I will die together! With this mentality, he has no energy to think about framing others.

If there is any corrupt official who does not expose him now and does not commit his crimes on him, Zhang Zhong might really let that person go, but which corrupt official does not want to take the opportunity to clear himself and not leave any future troubles ever since?

Song Xiaoai returned to his small building with a stack of official documents and arrived at the room where Zhang Zhong was imprisoned. He saw a light in the room like beans, and the lights were swaying. Zhang Zhong had already put his clothes on the bed and went to bed. The three shifts turned to change shifts and the master was so tired that he curled up on the chair and fell asleep. Song Xiaoai hurriedly let down his foot, tiptoed in, and placed the stack of official documents on the desk.

Her hands accidentally touched a brush that was placed on the inkstone. The pen rolled to the ground, and the bamboo pen holder and the floor made a crisp sound. Song Xiaoai quickly bent down and picked it up. Unexpectedly, the sound had awakened Zhang Zhong who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Zhang Zhong had a undressed hair and his eyes were red, which showed that he had poor sleep. Unexpectedly, when he saw two stacks of official documents appearing on the empty table, he immediately opened his eyes and became energetic. A strange spirit appeared on his face. He giggled and said, "Very good, have you sued me again? Hehehehe......!"

The anti-corruption fighter Mr. Zhang Zhong lifted the quilt and jumped to the ground. He ran over quickly, picked up the stack of official documents and sat down at his round table. Then he quickly lit up the oil lamp, poured a cup of tea, and slapped the table with great energy and shouted: "Get up, get up, don't sleep, wake up quickly and start recording!"

The two masters were awakened. When they saw the madman happy as if he was celebrating the New Year, they had to sigh helplessly, pick up a pen, spread the paper and said weakly: "Well, Eunuch Zhang, please tell me, we... remember!"

Zhang Zhong was arrogant and glared at them fiercely as if he was fighting a cock, and scolded: "Damn it, be more energetic, what should I do if I remember it wrong?"

Then he dipped his saliva, opened a document, looked at it very dedicatedly for a while, and then said in a slight and silence: "Qi Longyu, the magistrate of Bazhou, once accepted bribes and in vain to kill the murderer. The murderer was named Yu Zang, and now he is a servant under our family, so our family knows this matter very well. This person was originally a scoundrel of Bazhou Prefecture, and he was with others..."

The pathological excitement on Zhang Zhong's face made Song Xiaoaiqing unable to help but have a cold war. She shook her head with a little pity, turned around and quietly went downstairs to the main house of Zhongtang.

Yang Ling sat on a mahogany lounge chair in the study outside the middle hall, covered her knees with a thin blanket of golden velvet, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was taking a nap. Seeing this, Song Xiaoai was about to turn around and leave, Yang Ling suddenly said, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, aren't you sleeping?" Song Xiaoai turned around.

"Well, I'm thinking about something, sit down," Yang Ling opened his eyes, pulled the blanket up, and smiled and said, "I was thinking about something. If you don't come, you will really fall asleep in a while. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing," Song Xiaoai sat on the chair next to her and sighed softly: "I just saw Zhang Zhong, and then... I couldn't help but want to come and see you, sir."

"Hmm?" Yang Ling blinked curiously.

Song Xiaoai smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a bad person who needs to be evil. He was punished by the Lord... It's almost crazy. Now when he sees someone suing him for his complaint, he...ah!"

Yang Ling smiled faintly: "Is sympathy flooded? His crimes are so numerous and heavy, and Xinzhu is hard to write. Not to mention the distance, think about the family of four you saw with your own eyes. It's been hung on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month..."

Yang Ling closed his eyes: "He is unforgivable, what is there to be sympathetic to him? But no one wants to drive him crazy. Zhang Zhong has now a demon of his heart. He wants to abuse people and abuse himself."

Song Xiaoai sighed: "I know that Bei Zhi does not sympathize with him, but I just feel it. This person was so powerful a few days ago and was arrogant. I remember that when the adults designed to invite the four demon monks to preach the Dharma, Zhang Zhong was invited to visit him. The local officials were still afraid of him, and they were a little more than you, who knew that in a few days, he would become what he is today. The adults have good methods... so amazing!"

Yang Ling smiled and raised the rocking chair: "If you want to say that I am vicious, just say it. I can't do it if you use extraordinary means. Zhang Zhong has worked hard here for many years, with many followers and officials maintaining each other, so it is difficult to find a confirmation. If you want to use a serious method to investigate him, I will be in Bazhou, and I don't know if I can only find out until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month."

Song Xiaoai said: "It's easy to deal with now. Zhang Zhong is 'dead'. And he was beaten to death by the rioters. At this time, all the officials in Bazhou are involved and they must be responsible. If all the blame is attributed to Zhang Zhong, he will oppress the people and resist. All the problems will be solved.

The adults set up this Bagua formation, leaving a single gate of life, forcing the officials of Bazhou to drill in, but Zhang Zhong, who was 'dead', hid in this gate of life, haunted. Haha, it can be said that evil will be punished. When will the adults start to arrest people?"

Yang Ling shook his head and said, "This is exactly what I was thinking about. It's almost time to start the net, but how big should the mesh be? Should I take a big fish, small fish, shrimp, turtle, or should I leave some small fish, shrimp? If you want to keep it, how much, it's quite difficult to think about."

Song Xiaoai's eyes rolled and she said in surprise: "Why do you have to leave some? All these disasters should be eliminated, which would be great. If you catch so many big fish, you are not afraid of them, but you can't bear to attack those little fish and shrimps?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "It's not that you can't bear it, but that you can't. Xiao Ai, although you are a leader of the clan, you are still too simple. You are willing to be revenge and have a clear distinction between black and white. It is not suitable for the officialdom and has no absolute benefits to the people. The water is clear and there is no fish, which is the most reasonable and clear statement."

He closed his eyes again and shook his chair gently and said, "No one in Bazhou is familiar with the people's conditions. Can the civil affairs officials be able to do it? The local officials at all levels in Bazhou are old people. Furthermore, where do new officials come from? Can they all be honest and capable?

Judging from the situation that has been investigated clearly, corruption among officials in Bazhou has become popular, but some of them are following the trend, and others are greedy, and I am also greedy. If you destroy the bad habits of the entire Bazhou, and then set up a cleaner patrol envoy, under the deterrence of laws and regulations and supervision of inspections, these officials will not dare to be greedy anymore.

Some people are also in this way in Bazhou and have no restrictions. They cannot restrain themselves based on their morality alone. They even want to be honest and will be excluded. They will follow them like Hua Tuiguan, and then they will go with them. These officials can also be let go. Otherwise, what should they do? All the officials of Bazhou, big and small, will be eliminated and then established?

Then the people must first experience some pain in breaking the ground, unless the old dynasty is overturned and the new policy is established. This fierce method is simply inapplicable. You must know that we are protecting the Ming Dynasty, not destroying the Ming Dynasty, and killing the big and big. However, the harm is far greater than the benefit, especially... the hearts of the people. All the officials in Bazhou were arrested. What is the impression of the imperial court in the eyes of the people of the world?
To be continued...
