Chapter 253 The Good Person Card in Suzhou
Chapter 253 Suzhou’s Good People Card
When the eunuch Kuang, the chief eunuch in charge of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, heard this, his eyes glanced left and right. Only those white-skinned Folang Ji people were all looking straight. Although the people in the distance had no eyes, they could not squeeze in. Who said that just now?
He entered the palace in the 39th year of Jiajing. He was appointed as his godson under Zhang Jing's disciple. Over the years, he climbed to his current position step by step and finally put it on the position of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau. It was really rich. After a few years, his belly protruded and he became more and more white and tender. The eunuch is an incomplete man, but this does not mean that the eunuch doesn't want women. The eunuch Kuang school is like a Nanjing garrison eunuch Mu Jiu, and he also raises two wives like wives in Suzhou. They are both famous prostitutes. He is miserable.
The skill of licking the tip of the nose with his tongue finally achieved some results. However, once these wealthy people were cut off, they would be wiped out. The two ladies, who would not know which one would be cheaper, were poor, my two beautiful ladies, kissed them sensitively like fish caught from the water... When he thought of this, he felt unwilling to accept it, his body twisted desperately, lost balance, fell to the ground, and his throat and nose also made horrible sounds, like leeches twisting and struggling in salt water.
"Grandmaster, the eunuch in charge of the Suzhou Weaver Bureau seems to have something to say." Ryan Stein Bonaparte, the former knight master of the Knights of Malta, leaned into the ear of the good official. The good official nodded, nodded, and waved his hand to take the person in front of him.
After being loosened, Kuang Yongmei shouted for justice, "Governor, our family is wronged!" He shouted, and all his tears and snot suddenly came down. In terms of acting skills, the Oscar winners in later generations were only worthy of him to carry shoes.
Holding the score, the good official said softly [Hmm?], and Eunuch Kuang immediately gave himself a big mouth with his backhand. He used so much force, and five finger marks immediately appeared on his white, fat and round cheeks, "Grandmaster, I am wronged!"
Humph! You are sensible.
After signing with his eyes, Ryan Stein Bonaparte next to him understood it, and immediately brought a group of mercenaries with their hands to beat their chests. Wow, they took a step forward together. The sound of the torrent of steel immediately covered up all kinds of crying. Although the people in the city didn't know what was going on, they thought it was similar to the yamen runners under the officials and stomped on the water and fire sticks and shouted [Magnificent]. They subconsciously stopped and the streets suddenly became quiet.
The good official sat on the stool and said with a smile: "Eunuch Kuang, if you don't let you speak, it will be unfair to you. Can you admit the people's recognition now? What do you have to say?"
Kuang Yongmei hurriedly walked forward two steps. Just as she was about to step forward, Ryan Steinbonaba stretched out his arms and immediately beaten them. She was glared by the former Malta knight and immediately shivered. She quickly knelt on the ground with a thud. She walked several steps to the right officer sitting on the stool. She shouted loudly: "I am wronged! I admit that what the people said are all facts, but I did not kill my life! I just focused on doing things for the Emperor Long Live, and the Empress Dowager Rensheng and Empress Dowager Cisheng..."
The good official raised his foot and kicked Kuang Yongmei overturned a big fight, "Bastard, how are you doing things for the emperor and the empress dowager?"
A rolling roll was made on the road paved with stone strips. Eunuch Kuang climbed to the country's uncle with his hands and held his legs as soon as he reached out. "Grandpa Guo, please spare my life, I really didn't do anything corrupt or abuse..."
The people of Suzhou around him were angry and cursed, "Dog eunuch, deducting the wages of weaver workers. Isn't this called corruption and abuse of power... forcing someone to die, you have to pay your life..."
After the angry people cursed for a while, the good official then reached out to stop the people, looked down at Kuang Yongmei and said, "Look, have you heard that? It's because of public opinion. Do you think you should die!"
Eunuch Kuang gritted his teeth and shouted: "I am right, the damn one is the Zhejiang Provincial Administration and the silk merchants in Suzhou."
The good official was stunned and then cursed, "Bastard, does Nanzhili have a relationship with Zhejiang Provincial Administration? It's a death sentence for random slander."
After hearing this, Eunuch Kuang immediately understood that the little uncle in front of him was a novice in the officialdom and a newcomer in the officialdom. No wonder he dared to attack us. It was really unfair! He met such a master.
He was bleeding inside and shouted quickly, "Uncle, Grandpa, Su Song is under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Provincial Administration, and I have not made any false accusations..."
There are no official offices, institutions, and chief executives in the north and south Zhili. It is not an administrative region. Officials of various departments are all under the name of other provincial governors. For example, the Susong area is under the name of Zhejiang provincial governors. In other words, from an administrative perspective, Susong is under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, but Susong has Governor Susong, which is a very quarrel. It is difficult to explain clearly for a while. In short, the four provincial governors of Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangxi and Huguang are managed by the four provincial governors of Zhejiang.
After hearing Kuang Yongmei's words, the good official pondered and cursed in his heart, "What a bad administrative division!" Su Song was under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, this mud horse...
He hummed and said, "Continue to talk, don't point and get away with it." Eunuch Kuang didn't even take charge of Zhejiang Provincial Administration Li Shaonan, who was also the one of Zhang Jing and Eunuch Zhang. As the saying goes, if you die, I will not die. Now I pour beans on bamboo tubes, pouring out all the inside stories of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau.
"Grandmaster, I am wronged, I am even more wronged than Dou E! Suzhou weaving is a palace institution, but the woven silk is not meant to go out to sea from Ningbo Maritime Warehouse to earn money from the Folang Jiren. Zhejiang Provincial Administration Li Shaonan and Li, who has hundreds of thousands of pieces of silk to go out to sea every year, needs political achievements. This is not just spread to the hands of us. He has a province with boundaries, in a word, we have to break our legs. Although we are all those of our disabled slaves, why do we need money? This money cannot be eaten or drunk, and it is not a place to allocate funds. Last year, several northern provinces did not eat or drink, and saved 200,000 yuan of internal treasury silver to the Ministry of Revenue, and pointed out that the wealthy businessmen in the world can set an example, but the result..."
The good official raised his foot and gave Kuang Yongmei a heart-warming kick, "Tell me the point." He added a sentence in his heart, "Damn, are you here to clean the emperor's floor? This is a waste of time.
Eunuch Kuang slapped himself twice, "Yes, yes, I'm talking about the key points. Last year, Lord Li Shaonan from Zhejiang said he wanted 800,000 pieces of silk. For such a heavy task, we can only work hard to do it. Although there are 100,000 weavers in Suzhou, our weaver bureau has only 8,000 weavers, and we can't do it anyway, so we can only send it to local silk owners..."
Zhu Guozhen, the chief assistant of the cabinet in the late Ming Dynasty, once said that Suzhou [mostly weaving live in silk, half of the northeast, and about where the Jihu lived]. At that time, the words "I, Wu, were vaguely dependent on the fields, the wealthy Zhang Ji lived, and the small households took advantage of the weaving to live] were also scattered in the notes of the Ming people. You can imagine how far the capital of Suzhou developed at this time.
"The price set by me was originally fair, but the local silk merchants in Suzhou refused to say that raw silk was expensive. Our weaving bureau had no idea that the hungry man was hungry, so he was only willing to set three-fifths of the price for our weaving bureau. If me refused, they would not accept the sale..." Kuang Yongmei and his father-in-law Kuang said the joints inside with tears.
These words are all the people in the city who do not know anyway. Some people are unbelievable and shouted loudly, "Dog eunuch, it is impossible to slander good people. Our Dongcheng Hongmiao and Nan Hongshan are definitely not like that. Hongshan people build bridges and roads, and that is the living Bodhisattva in the world... That is, although the elder Li Yichang Li in our Beicheng is known as Li Bancheng, they all make money by their conscience. They are always allowed to give rice and porridge on weekdays. They are like real gods. You are a catfish dog without eggs, biting people randomly..."
When Kuang Yongmei heard the people's scolding, she couldn't help laughing. At the end of her laughter, she burst into tears, and her laughter turned into a crying voice, "Uncle Guo, you always want to be the master of me! Look, all the vicious reputations are all for me, those who really ruined my conscience and earned money are praised all over me, really, I am depressed by the law every day, I sang happily every night, I hurt others and ride a horse and mule, I am upright and fair, I am blind in my mind, and I am murdered and set fire to others... Uncle Guo, I am wronged!" After that, I slept loudly.
The good official said silently. Some people looked at the appearance of the eunuch who supervised the Suzhou Weaver Bureau, and it didn't seem like they were fake. They couldn't help but doubt it, and whispered in private, "Is it possible that the good man is not the real good man? Elder Li is not the real elder?"
After lying on the ground for a while, Eunuch Kuang wiped his tears and straightened his back and said loudly: "Uncle, I have accounts. A piece of silk sold to the West, which is about 18 taels of silver. Last year, the transaction of the Zhejiang Provincial Administration Office for 800,000 pieces was 14.4 million taels of silver. Among them, less than 100,000 pieces of silk were obtained from our Suzhou Weaving Bureau. The rest were contracted by the wealthy merchants in Suzhou. I dare to ask, where did the more than 100,000 taels of silver go?"
There was a big blow around, 14.4 million taels of silver? This... so much silver?
At this time, someone shouted in the crowd, "Fuck, you castrated dog, 18 taels of silver and a piece of silk, is it possible that there is no loss on the sea road? The sea boat does not cost money? The court does not need taxes?" When the good official heard this, he looked carefully, but couldn't find the person who was talking. His eyes turned and he sneered twice.
"Tax? What tax? How much tax?" Kuang Yongmei shouted: "The year before yesterday, the imperial court imposed an additional 60,000 taels of silk tax on Suzhou. More than a dozen wealthy merchants instigated the back. A group of troublemakers surrounded the Governor Susong's yamen. In the end, even the stone lion at the gate of the Governor's yamen was pushed down. The 60,000 taels of silk tax was left unresolved. Governor Susong Liang Ziai almost hanged himself in the official office. Who knows this in Suzhou? Those who knocked on bones and marrows were fooled by the names of good people and elders, and you still think they are good people? Bah!"
He spitted viciously on the ground, and then sweared to the sky: "The emperor is above. The eunuch of the Suzhou Weaver Bureau supervised the eunuch Kuang Yongmei, and everything he said is true. If there is a false statement, I will tell my Kuang family to enter the palace for generations and become slaves and servants. Do you elders and good people dare to swear? If their money is unclear, they will kill their whole family. The men will be slaves for generations and the women will be prostitutes for generations and the women will be prostitutes for generations..." In the end, he was hoarse and very resentful. For a moment, everyone was suppressed. There was only the heavy breathing sound of Eunuch Kuang's hoarseness and a whimper in the wind on the street.
After a while, the obedient official coughed and said, "Old Kuang! Don't make such a vicious oath. Everyone likes this silver, and it will not mean that the money is a little unclean and that the reason why the money is a little unclean is to be slaves and prostitutes for generations." This is clearly an agreement. The money of the rich merchants must be unclean. Some people moved their lips when they heard this, but when they were talking to their mouths, they thought about the words of Master Kuang, and then they thought about the so-called more than 10 million taels of silver. Compared to their hardships, they didn't want to say anything for a while.
After coughing twice, the obedient official said, "But, Suzhou is a fellow villager! Could it be that Shen Shixing, the master of Shen Ge and Wang Xijue, the master of Wang Ge, are both blind? Are there so many scholars in Susong too, all of them are fools? This is a little confused."
"Grandpa Guo, you don't know." Kuang Yongmei screamed for a long time, her throat was a little broken. At this time, she could not help but speak a little hoarse, but she knew that this was her only chance. Anyway, she had her face broken, so she just stabbed him in a flash. At most, she would just hug the thighs of the uncle and the concubine De in the future. "Last year, the court proposed to repair the city walls in Susong area. All the wealthy families opposed it, and finally got to the mansion of Master Shen Ge. Shen Ge.
After hearing the opinions of everyone, the old eldest son Shen Yongmao wrote a letter to Mr. Shen. Later, Mr. Shen opposed the repair of the city in the court meeting, saying that the people were in trouble and money, and the troops mobilized the masses, and it was not in vain. Although I was not a supervisor of the rituals, I didn’t know how Mr. Shen reported it to Mr. Shen, nor did I know what Mr. Shen’s letter to Mr. Shen. However, he might know that An Bixuan was in charge of the East Factory.”
The good official asked someone to bring An Bixuan, the eunuch of the Southern Bureau, to the side. The eunuch of An had a white face, trembling, and trembling all over, "Slave... I'm not afraid to say it."
Sensenran smiled, and the good official lowered his head and looked at the other party, "What? I'm afraid that Master Shen will wear your little shoes?"
An Bixuan swallowed, leaned down with both hands, and kowtowed to the uncle, "Grandpa, let me spare me! If I say that, the governor will definitely take my head in the future!"
He lowered his eyes and looked at his fingernails. The good official bounced it and said slowly: "Zhang Jing is doing things for the emperor, and I am also doing things for the emperor. Why does Zhang Jing want your head? If he takes your head, it is to kill someone to silence him. There is a suspicion of embezzling 10 million yuan of silver. I am giving him two courages. See if he dares to do so, don't worry, I will guarantee that you are fine. If you don't say it, you will not be able to pass this level today."
An Bixuan was sweating heavily, and his cheeks were raised several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the contributors are concerned, they must know that they will reach the big households. This is a battle without reason to exhaust the marrow. When the big households are poor, the small people will stand old, so they cannot do it!"
