This time, Emperor Tianzhi asked Jia Yun to obtain an account book, and he wanted to collect money from corrupt officials in the Lianghuai Salt Industry. At the same time, he would strictly order that if there was another case of corruption and violation of the law, he would be punished severely.
Yes, Emperor Tianzhi will not only punish these corrupt officials, but also strictly order that if there is another case of corruption and violation of the law, they will be punished severely.
This time, Emperor Tianzhi also imposed a criminal penalty on Yangzhou's chief salt merchants for having an affair with private salt, and would also strictly order these chief salt merchants to be severely punished if they had any further affairs with private salt.
This kind of strict order is very necessary!
In the previous Qing Dynasty, at the suggestion of He Shen, Emperor Qianlong also levied criminal charges against corrupt officials.
The implementation of Yisuiyin solved Qianlong's lack of money, but it also increased the intensity and speed of corruption among corrupt officials, accelerating the decay of the Qing Dynasty.
This is inevitable. You can atone for your sins with money. Wouldn't corrupt officials become even bolder when they engage in corruption? They will also use corruption to get back the money they paid for the crime, while at the same time destroying the legal system.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianzhi was not confused on this matter.
Emperor Tianzhi also considered this kind of thing, so this time, he only temporarily imposed a criminal penalty on the corrupt officials of the Lianghuai Salt Industry and the chief salt merchant of Yangzhou. He would also strictly order these corrupt officials and the chief salt merchant to
If you commit the crime again in the future, you will be severely punished.
Therefore, this matter will have a certain rectification effect on the Lianghuai Salt Industry, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
Even so, Jia Yun knew that Lianghuai Salt Industry would still be a big mess in the future.
Because, if we want to truly rectify the Lianghuai salt industry, it depends on the system rather than personnel!
Unless the salt industry system of the Qing Dynasty is reformed and the salt system is no longer implemented, this mess will continue to be chaotic even if there is more effort in personnel matters...
And if you want to change the salt industry system of the Qing Dynasty, even the current Emperor Tianzhi cannot do it!
Firstly, Emperor Tianzhi currently has no idea of changing the salt industry system. Secondly, even if Emperor Tianzhi has such an idea, there will be great resistance, including resistance from the Supreme Emperor.
So Jia Yun knew that Zou Jin was already in a dangerous situation. If things didn't turn around, Zou Jin would probably end up like Lin Ruhai.
Jia Yun was just thinking about this kind of thing in her own mind and would not explain it to Zou Jin. The matter was very sensitive. If he explained it to Zou Jin, it might cause him big trouble.
In fact, Zou Jin himself has already realized this!
Zou Jin has already made plans for this.
He planned that as long as the Supreme Emperor died, he would propose to Emperor Tianzhi to reform the Qing Dynasty's salt industry system, even if he risked his life for it.
This is Zou Jin, who is both mature and capable, yet also strong-willed!
Previously, Jia Yun told Zou Jin that since Emperor Tianzhi made him the commander of Jinyi Mansion, he could only die for Emperor Tianzhi and the Qing Dynasty.
This is a lie, a deliberate attempt to gain Zou Jin's appreciation.
Zou Jin was different. Since Emperor Tianzhi asked him to take over as the censor of salt inspection in the Huaihe River, he wanted to devote himself to the Qing Dynasty salt industry and the people until his death.
…
…
The next day, January 18th.
In the morning, Jia Yun, Zhao Xiuyuan, and Cao Wu led four hundred Jinyi cavalry troops to leave Qianhu Residence in Yangzhou Jinyi Prefecture and return to Shenjing City.
At the same time, He Bing, the fifth-rank Qianhu, who was recently promoted by Jia Yun, will lead 500 Jinyi cavalry to stay at the Qianhu Station of Jinyi Mansion in Yangzhou and will be stationed here in the future.
When Jia Yun left, he released Wang Bingdong.
Because Jia Yun had told a lie in front of Shen Yuanwen before, saying that Wang Bingdong had confessed to him that Shen Yuanwen had committed other illegal things, Jia Yun used this as a threat.
Now that Jia Yun has left and Wang Bingdong has been let go, this lie will no longer matter. Is it possible that Shen Yuanwen will slack off in maintaining the Yangzhou Salt Industry because of this lie?
Yao Sili, his mother, wife, and eldest son were taken to Shenjing City by Jia Yun.
In order to prevent Yao Sili from committing suicide, under Jia Yun's order, Jinyi strictly monitored Yao Sili and even stuffed something in Yao Sili's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
Yao Sili's mother, wife, and eldest son were kept in separate custody from Yao Sili.
When Jia Yun returned to Beijing this time, she also took several of Lin Ruhai's concubines with her. The natal families or homes of these concubines were in Shenjing City. They would make compensation after being escorted back to Shenjing City.
In addition, when Jia Yun returned to Beijing this time, she also escorted the Yangzhou Salt Merchant's criminal silver worth more than one million taels, most of which was in cash, and a small half was property.
Just like when they came here, Jia Yun and his party still took the land route when they returned to Beijing this time, and they were even more in a hurry than when they came here.
Even so, the time it takes to return to Beijing this time is bound to be longer than when we came here, because we are escorting some prisoners and a lot of property.
It took a total of twenty-five days to come here, and it is estimated that it will take a month to return to Beijing.
…
…
At this time, Jia Yun and his party had already left Yangzhou City.
Tang Daqian, who had been "missing" for several days, appeared in Jia Yun's field of vision with a hundred cavalrymen in cavalry.
Tang Daqian and his group of brocade robes were also detaining dozens of people!
"Sir!" Tang Daqian rode up to Jia Yun, dismounted and shouted respectfully to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun asked: "How is the situation?"
Tang Daqian said: "In the past few days, we have intercepted and captured dozens of people with suspicious whereabouts outside the city. Most of them are tipsters."
After speaking, Tang Daqian handed a package to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun opened the package and saw that almost everything inside the package was letters.
Jia Yun did not check these letters immediately, but continued to lead his army on the road.
At night, Jia Yun and his party entered a county town to rest.
In the county inn, Jia Yun carefully reviewed the letters Tang Daqian had given him in the morning.
After reading it, Jia Yun felt satisfied...
Previously, before entering Yangzhou City, Jia Yun gave Tang Daqian a special task.
The task was to let Tang Daqian lead a hundred cavalrymen in brocade to intercept and capture the informant outside Yangzhou City.
Jinyi Mansion's overbearing actions in Yangzhou this time offended not only the Yangzhou salt dealer, but also the corrupt officials in the Lianghuai Salt Industry.
So Jia Yun concluded that while he was in Yangzhou, there must be many informants in Yangzhou.
Quietly intercepting and arresting these informants outside Yangzhou City can not only reduce the danger for Jia Yun when she returns to Beijing from Yangzhou, but also obtain more information about corrupt officials through these letters.
You must know that Jia Yun was assassinated twice on her way south from Shenjing City to Yangzhou, one of which was poisoned by a servant within the Jinyi Mansion.
Jia Yun doesn’t want her journey back to Beijing to be dangerous!
Tang Daqian did not disappoint Jia Yun. In the past few days, he intercepted and arrested dozens of informants outside Yangzhou City.
The letters carried by these people involved many corrupt officials in the Lianghuai Salt Industry, many of whom were relatives of the emperor, princes and ministers...
Jia Yun would also give these letters to Emperor Tianzhi.
In this way, he will be able to fulfill his imperial mission even better this time.
…
…
What Jia Yun didn't know was that on the day he left Yangzhou City, a informant left Yangzhou City on a fast horse. He kept changing horses along the way and kept speeding up. He arrived at Shenjing City and entered
Went to the Prince's Mansion of Beijing and met Shuirong, the current fourth generation Prince of Beijing.
The informant was named Mihou. Obviously, this was not his real name, but his code name, which also symbolized his status.
There is a mysterious secret agent army under the Shui family. The leader is codenamed King Mi, followed by Duke Mi, Hou Mi, Bo Mi, Zi Zi and Nan Mi.
In other words, Mihou is the third leader of this spy team.
Shui Rong knew that Shuizhen and the Yao family colluded to exchange the sons of Emperor Tianzhi and Shuizhen, and even knew that Jia Yun was the prince born to Emperor Tianzhi and Qingwan who were exchanged back then!
Because of this, this time Jia Yun led the Jinyi cavalry south to Yangzhou, and Shui Rong paid special attention to it, fearing that Jia Yun would learn the shocking secret of the year through the Yao family.
So Shui Rong specially sent Mihou to Yangzhou City to inquire about the news.
But today, Marquis Mi returned to the Beijing Palace and appeared in front of Shui Rong.
At present, Mihou told Shuirong in detail what Jia Yun and his Jinyi Army did in Yangzhou this time, especially focusing on the Yao Mansion.
Although Shui Xiong is young, he is smart, mature and steady.
Even so, when he listened to the report from Mihou, especially when he heard that Jia Yun wanted to take Yao Sili, his mother, his wife, and his eldest son back to Shenjing City to be dealt with by Emperor Tianzhi on the grounds that Yao Sili had committed a major crime.
…
Shui Rong couldn't hide his panic.
He immediately realized that Jia Yun might have discovered the shocking secret during this trip!
"Just step back."
Shui Rong waved his hand and dismissed the Mihou first, then sat alone in the study and began to meditate...
Yes, everything Yao Sili wrote in the narrative is true. Shuizhen and Yao Muchun colluded to exchange the son of Emperor Tianzhi and the son of Shuizhen.
Jia Yun's conjecture was also correct. The Shui family did this because the Shui family had rebelled back then and planned to support Shuizhen's son to ascend the throne as emperor in the future and use this method to occupy the Qing Dynasty!
And the son born to Emperor Tianzhi and Qingwan was Jia Yun!
Later, Jia Yun was quietly carried from Yangzhou to Jinling.
At that time, under Shuizhen's plan and Jia Daihua's arrangement, Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang went to Jinling, took over Jia Yun in Jinling, and began to adopt her.
Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang deliberately stayed in Jinling for a year, and then took Jia Yun back to Shenjing City. When someone asked, they said that Jia Yun was their son born in Jinling.
Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang both thought that Jia Yun was the illegitimate son of Shuizhen and an courtesan. They thought that the courtesan died of illness just after giving birth to Jia Yun. However, Shuizhen did not want Jia Yun to damage the reputation of him and the Prince of Beijing, nor did he want to kill him.
He was an illegitimate son, so he gave Jia Yun to them to raise.
In fact, even Jia Daihua didn't know that Jia Yun was the son of Emperor Tianzhi. Shuizhen deceived Jia Daihua back then, and Jia Daihua also thought that Jia Yun was Shuizhen's illegitimate son...
Back then, Shuizhen planned to kill Jia Yun after exchanging the son of Emperor Tianzhi with his son.
At first, Shuizhen thought that keeping Jia Yun, the son of Emperor Tianzhi, might be useful in the future.
Secondly, Shuizhen wanted to use Jia Yun to tie Jia's family to him.
At that time, Jia Daihua of Ningguo Mansion was Shuizhen's confidant, but Jia Daishan of Rongguo Mansion was not. Jia Daishan was only loyal to the Supreme Emperor.
At that time, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan had very noble status and great power. Jia Daihua was the second-class Duke and the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, and Jia Daishan was the second-class Duke and the Jiedushi of the Chang'an Camp.
In order to make Jia Daihua more loyal to him so that he would not rebel against him in the future, and to tie the Rongguo Mansion represented by Jia Daishan to himself, Shuizhen deliberately deceived Jia Daihua and let the Jia family secretly adopt Jia Yun, so Jia Daihua
Hua quietly arranged the matter to Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang.
You know, it is a big crime to secretly adopt the replaced prince of Emperor Tianzhi. Even if Jia Daishan is transformed, it is also a big crime for Jia Daishan not to know the truth in advance. It is a big crime for the entire Jia family!
What's more, if this matter is really exposed, if Jia Daihua pleads that he doesn't know the truth, Emperor Tianzhi probably won't believe it, and even Emperor Kangxing may not believe it.
Back then, the Shui family supported Prince Yi Zhong in order to rebel.
Because Prince Yi Zhong made a promise to the Shui family, once he ascends the throne as emperor, he will promote the prince of Beijing Palace from a county prince to a prince, and give hereditary princes and military governors, as well as other benefits...
Even so, the Shui family is not satisfied because the Shui family's ambition is the throne!
At that time, the Shui family planned to support Prince Yi Zhong as the emperor first, and then find an opportunity to support Shuizhen's son as the emperor!
The Shui family did not expect that Jia Yun, the real sixth prince of Emperor Tianzhi, was reduced to being adopted by Jia Zhuo and Bu Wuniang, but could still stand out.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun was so talented when she was still a young boy. She even became a top hero in the Battle of the Palace in the sixth year of Honglou, which is the first year of Tianzhi, and was awarded a title for it.
Shuizhen was really surprised when he learned about this.
Why is Jia Yun so miraculous? And why is this such a coincidence? In the first year of Tianzhi, Emperor Tianzhi's "lost" prince Jia Yun was rewarded heavily by Emperor Tianzhi because of the battle in the palace?
At that time, Shui Zhen even doubted whether it was the power of fate. It was fate that Jia Yun, a member of the royal family, had royal luck. It was fate that Emperor Tianzhi and Jia Yun, the biological father and son, were destined to be destined.
At that time, Shuizhen had the idea of assassinating Jia Yun.
After careful consideration, Shuizhen gave up the idea.
First of all, at that time, Jia Yun had not only become famous and had been awarded titles, but also had a high level of force. It was not easy to assassinate Jia Yun, and it was also easy to cause big trouble.
Secondly, Shuizhen had a new plan at that time.
Because Jia Yun's martial arts value was very high, and Jia Yun was very hopeful of passing the martial arts examination and becoming a first-class bodyguard, her future future was very bright...
Shuizhen believes that it is impossible for Jia Yun to know the truth about his life experience. He will only know that he is Shuizhen's illegitimate son through Bu Wuniang. In this case, if Shuizhen treats Jia Yun favorably, it will make Jia Yun think so even more.
.
So Shuizhen planned to have Jia Yun assassinate Emperor Tianzhi when the Shui family officially rebelled!
Shui Zhen felt that when Jia Yun thought that he was his biological father, out of father-son affection and because Jia Yun would be implicated if she did not follow the rebellion, Jia Yun would do this...
Because the matter was very serious and confidential, Shui Zhencai never "confession" to Jia Yun, saying that Jia Yun was his son, and would wait until later when the Shui family was about to rebel.
