"After we took the old immortal out of the government office, we took her to a deserted alley and stabbed her to death." The subordinates replied uneasily. There was no expression on the adult's face. I don't know whether he was happy or angry.
"Just kill him. The body must be taken care of. If there is such a big fuss during the day, and someone kills him at night, it would be strange if they don't blame me." Liu Ziguang frowned slightly. These guards who came from Qiu Ba under his command always do things.
They are careless and careless about killing and not burying her. When Mrs. Xu’s body is discovered tomorrow, it will be another troublesome matter.
"Your Majesty said, let's throw the body into the river right now." The two men hurried out.
Today's incident made Liu Ziguang feel a little bit. Is this a good thing or a bad thing when a censor dares not to pay the bills of the admiral of Nanchang? For the court and the people, this may be a good thing. After all, a country that relies on the secret service to maintain its rule
The country has no future. The former judicial institutions such as the Ministry of Justice, the Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple were suppressed so much by the factory guards that they are simply useless. Now that the old Dongchang has collapsed, the strength of the Jinyiwei has also been greatly weakened. New Dongchang and
The foundation of Nanchang is still very weak. The Sanfa Division, which has been suppressed for a long time, has a strong rebound, and it is inevitable to fight for the power vacuum.
But for me, this is obviously not something to be happy about. If Nanchang fails to get good cards during this reshuffling process, it means that it will be difficult to raise its head in the future, and its own work will also be supervised by the censor.
If the Three Judicial Divisions can achieve true judicial excellence, it would be fair. However, today's political system cannot guarantee this. Therefore, in terms of attitude towards this issue, it is better to take the initiative and put the hilt of the knife at any time.
It's better to put it in your own hands than to put it in other people's hands.
There is still a long way to go in the construction of the South Factory. The fans who came from the red shirt regiment are very good as commandos, but the espionage personnel are much inferior. In comparison, they are not as good as Sun Gang's gang of gangsters.
Hanzi. As for the future development direction, Liu Ziguang feels that it is better to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use the power of science and technology to engage in intelligence work.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the string of neon lights hanging on the Qianqing Palace stole the show. Not only was it dazzling, it was also cheap, and it also had a personal advertisement from the emperor. Officials are not fools, so of course they want such good and cheap things.
They were eager to buy the neon lights. When they found out that the neon lights were made by the Minister of Industry, they sent people to ask for them. Song Yingxing refused to refuse anyone who came. He compiled a list of officials who needed neon lights and reported the production plan to Liu Ziguang.
Originally, Liu Ziguang's intention was to send a batch of electric lights to these dignitaries for free, so that they could have an advertising effect. Later, he set up a light shop, built a power plant in the capital, and launched a lighting business. Later, he slowly expanded this business to the whole country.
Use this as a way to make money for yourself.
The nominal owner of the electric lighting shop is Song Yingxing, and the main technical personnel are all people brought over from the Liguo Railway Works, so it is too easy to do some tricks during the construction process. Wherever the electric light wires are pulled, the bugs of the south factory will be
Wherever it is installed, anyway, even if this thing is installed in front of the owner, it will not arouse suspicion. After all, the technological content is too high. When the homes of senior officials in the capital are equipped with electric lights, their secrets will be invisible to Liu Ziguang.
Already.
Thinking of this, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but smile proudly. Technology is not only the primary productive force, but also the primary combat force and intelligence agent.
"Master, the new girl has been arranged in the wing room. Do you want to go over and have a rest?" Liu An, the newly hired housekeeper, came over carefully and asked, and by the way, he replaced the tea on Liu Ziguang's desk with a new one.
I almost forgot, there is also Li Xiangjun. This little girl is really troublesome. Firstly, Xiangjun is still a Jiaofangsi, and secondly, he is not married yet. It is not good to get involved in other things while Peng Jingrong is away.
.
"I won't go there. Arrange two maids to take good care of Miss Li." Liu Ziguang ordered. It was getting very late. He yawned and went back to his room to rest.
Returning to the bedroom, he took off the musket belt under his arm and stuffed the musket under the pillow. Liu Ziguang began to slowly take off his clothes. In fact, according to his living standard, he could have several concubines and maids to warm the bed, but he still
Maintain the habit of living alone.
"Meow" has a little head exposed above the wardrobe, and the sleepy little cat Liu has made a home on it. Now the little cat is getting more and more clingy. It always likes to come to Liu Ziguang's room to sleep, and it won't be driven away no matter how hard it is.
, in the end Liu Ziguang had no choice but to acquiesce to this move. Fortunately, Liu Mao Mao did not stay here all night, and slipped out to steal after a while, so he was not discovered by the good-hearted Peng Jingwei for the time being.
"Kitten, come to bed." Liu Ziguang patted the bed and said, but Liu Kitten shook her head and ignored her. Obviously, the low bed was far less comfortable for her than the high wardrobe.
It was only a matter of time before Liu Xiaomao was taken over, and Liu Ziguang was not in a hurry. Since the social system and economic conditions allowed it, how could he be worthy of himself if he didn't have three wives and four concubines? When it came to marrying a wife, he really had to put it on the agenda.
When he came up, Liu Ziguang was not stupid and naturally knew the eldest princess's feelings for him. However, he heard that the prince-in-law could not participate in government affairs, control the military power, and where to put Peng Jinrong's position? Should he let her be a concubine? These were all things he had to face.
practical problems.
Early the next morning, Liu Ziguang went to the Nanchang Yamen as usual. He had two jobs, so he could only work in the imperial palace and in the Nanchang office alternately.
Various official documents are neatly placed on the desk and have been divided into categories. There are normal documents from other yamen, the latest daily information collected and compiled by the police officers, and routine reports from spies lurking in various places.
Without leaving home, you can see the political, military and economic situation of the Ming Dynasty at a glance.
The envoys from Taiwan's Zheng family are still stranded in the capital. The terms of their peace talks have been discussed in the cabinet countless times but still have not been finalized. The only word is "procrastination".
Great changes occurred in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north. The young Emperor Shunzhi could not withstand the blows of internal and external troubles. His old illness relapsed and he passed away leaving an eight-year-old child behind. The little prince was named Aixinjueluo Xuan Ye.
With the support of Gu Ming Minister Ao Bai, he ascended the Dabao River, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Kangxi, granted amnesty to the whole country at home, exempted the Shanxi disaster area from taxes, and focused on peace talks externally. It is reported that a large mission has been sent to Nanjing.
The Tatars also wanted to use a delaying strategy. Liu Ziguang secretly thought that Ruan Dacheng was still the governor of Shandong. The generals in Shandong were obviously more adaptable to such a weak civilian official, and were afraid that a tough new governor would damage their own interests, so Yuan Chonghuan
Therefore, there was no proposal to remove Ruan Dacheng. The Donglin Party was busy with numerous affairs in other provinces and did not have the energy to take care of this situation for the time being.
The Shandong section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has almost been dredged, and the railway is also under construction. The crisp autumn air is a good season for war. As long as the Ministry of Finance can keep up with the money, the Northern Expedition can be carried out at any time.
It’s really a headache to talk about the money in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The current imperial court is as bright as a donkey’s dung egg. The industry in the south is developed and the economy is prosperous, but the imperial court does not have much money. It seems that the money has fallen into the pockets of those wealthy families who control the economic lifeline.
Of course, the corrupt officials also got a full share of the pie. Liu Ziguang knew this very well. Let’s not talk about others, just the Liguo Iron Works. Last year, the 100 sets of steam repeating crossbow systems sold to the capital, together with the installation fee, totaled
One million taels of silver, I still have to pay for this money myself. The production cost here is less than 100,000 taels. It seems to be extremely profitable, but the initial investment in management expenses alone is 300,000 taels.
There was 200,000 taels of silver given to the person who handled the business after the promise was fulfilled. Even so, the business was still profitable. Therefore, the court's money was divided among the capitalists and corrupt officials.
The Liguo Iron Works is still a serious business. The real huge profits are made by the salt merchants in Haizhou and Yangzhou. The Huang family in Haizhou is a typical example. They make a lot of money by relying on their nine-thousand-year-old connections. This time
Jin Yiwei went to Haizhou to raid homes and heard that the harvest was so great that the specific figures have not been reported yet.
This time Jin Yiwei was caught. Liu Ziguang shook his head regretfully. It was a pity that he failed to get the task of searching the Huang family. But Jin Yiwei also needs to eat. If there is wealth, everyone will make a fortune. He still understands this very well, so under the Emperor's control
I didn't argue with Qi Zhenming when I was dispatched.
If you want to replenish the national treasury, you need to start with the administration of officials, rectify the bureaucracy, reduce transaction costs, and return the money that originally went into the pockets of corrupt officials to the hands of the court. With the money, the court can regain lost territory and conquer more
The territory provided sufficient raw materials and a broad market for the Ming Dynasty's industry, making the people richer and the court stronger.
Liu Ziguang had never thought of these profound things before, but now that he was in a higher position, these issues were naturally placed in front of him, and he had to consider them even if he didn't.
"Start with the administration of officials to strengthen the country and the army. I hope my idea is right." Liu Ziguang is just a junior college student in accounting. He does not have much experience in political economy and can only think based on the knowledge he has learned in political textbooks.
Problem, but after all, he comes from a more advanced society, and hundreds of years of knowledge accumulation are still very useful. His way of looking at problems is also more scientific than that of his contemporaries.
To rectify the civil service, we should start with salt, iron, and weaving. These three industries have the highest profits and the greatest impact on tax revenue. In other words, they are the pillar industries of the national economy in the Ming Dynasty. They account for a huge share of GDP. The salt merchants
Everyone knows about the huge wealth and huge profits from the salt industry. A salt patrol official can earn millions of dollars a year. The salt merchants are so rich that they can rival the country. They spend huge sums of money and are simply a big worm in the country.
Iron includes coal and iron integrated industries such as Liguo Iron Works, the mining industry in various mines, manufacturing industries such as Qishuyan Machinery Factory and Wuchang Shipyard, and the transportation industry. It is a comprehensive category. This type of industry is
They are the pillars of social progress and the least harmful to the imperial court. They do not rely on monopoly like salt merchants, but use their own creations to obtain wealth. They must be able to combat corrupt officials and reduce the numerous management and bribery in the transaction process.
Will support.
There is also the weaving industry in Jiangnan. The pillar industry in Jiangnan is the silk weaving industry. The Weaving Bureau not only manages the government-run silk weaving factories, but also supervises the private silk weaving industry and collects their taxes. The weaving industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou is extremely developed.
There are tens of thousands of advanced steam-driven looms, and silk and satin are transported to foreign countries by sea. The price difference earned is several times higher, and it is also a lucrative and profitable industry.
The aspects involved in Jiangnan Weaving are relatively simple. You can start with them. Thinking of this, Liu Ziguang picked up a hard pen and drew a circle on the name of Cao Yin, the general manager of Jiangnan Weaving in the file...
After reading this, he picked up a secret report from Nanchang Fanzi, which contained what happened in various yamen in the capital yesterday. Every detail was recorded. He looked over it at a glance, and suddenly saw one: The censor patrolling the city
The subordinates found the body of an old woman who had been murdered, and asked Ying Tianfu to conduct an autopsy late at night.
Damn it, it looks like I'm being targeted. Finding a corpse on the street is not the job of a censor patrolling the city.
Just as he was thinking of countermeasures, a young eunuch came outside and said respectfully: "Master Liu, the emperor has spoken, please come to the palace to speak."
Liu Ziguang hurriedly changed his clothes for entering the palace and rushed to the palace with the young eunuch. At this time, the emperor had already retired and was reviewing memorials in Qianqing Palace.
Seeing Liu Ziguang come in, Zhu Youxiao said: "My dear, look at the good things you did yesterday." He threw a memorial over.
Liu Ziguang took it and saw that it was the memorial written by Guo Zhengshen, the censor of the city. It said that Uncle Zhenwu had left his post without permission and was not working properly in the palace. He led a group of his men to commit murder in the downtown area, beat officials, bullied the weak, and kicked innocent old women's legs.
Legs, lawless and undisciplined, did not take Yingtian Fu Yin and the city patrol censor seriously. What is even more outrageous is that he actually sent someone to kill the innocent old woman.
The memorial was beautifully written, severely criticizing Liu Ziguang's brutal and rampant behavior, expressing deep sympathy for the death of the innocent old woman, and finally recommended that the emperor remove Liu Ziguang from his title, imprison him, and hand him over to the Third Judiciary.
By the way, I also read Ying Tianfu Yin's book, which said that he was afraid of evil forces and was no longer suitable for his job.
"Are everything in this memorial true?" Zhu Youxiao said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!" Liu Ziguang knelt down quickly and said. This was the first time he was being cheated on. He really didn't know how to explain it, but he believed in a truth: a strong life does not need explanation.
