Zhu Ying is very clear about today's Ming Dynasty.
No chamber of commerce, no force, no official, no tribe, no country has such great influence.
That means there is only one possibility, that is, these people are all uniting secretly.
This is a war, a war without smoke.
Compared with the fight on the battlefield, it is more turbulent and more dangerous.
The Qunying Chamber of Commerce is too powerful, and its expansion speed is also very fast.
After Zhu Ying entered the palace, the entire Qunying Chamber of Commerce underwent major changes.
The first is to dispatch all the forces from all over the Western Region to the Ming Dynasty. This is one of them.
The second is to use the power of Jin Yiwei to expand crazily in all prefectures and counties.
Coupled with its own economic strength and the support of the government, this expansion rate is simply beyond imagination.
There is no such thing as a powerful dragon that can't overwhelm a local snake.
All local forces, whether they were chambers of commerce or individuals, were directly overwhelmed by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
Under the impact of a large number of goods prices, the market prices of goods in the entire Ming Dynasty market were rapidly lowered. This undoubtedly touched the interests of all gentry, landlords, nobles, and wealthy businessmen.
It can't be said to be touching, but to be completely swallowed.
However, under this rapid expansion, many loopholes appeared in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce itself.
In terms of personnel, there was gradually a mixture of good and bad, and many people with ulterior motives gradually filtered in.
If you want to expand quickly, there is no way to avoid this.
And this joint operation has obviously been planned for a long time.
After Zhu Ying got the news, Liu He rushed over quickly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting at Qianqing Palace."
Zhu Ying glanced at Ye Yueqing and said, "You come with me."
Hearing this, Ye Yueqing nodded slightly and followed Zhu Ying over.
In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally cold-faced, calmed down a lot when he saw his eldest grandson approaching.
"Dasun, look at these memorials. They were all submitted by officials from all over the country. To be so unified, they must have been preparing before the grandson's canonization ceremony."
"There are more than eight hundred books. Are you scared, Grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a slight smile after speaking.
Zhu Ying also smiled and said: "Afraid, of course I am afraid. My grandson is afraid that too many people will die this time, and that it will cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he naturally understood what the great sun meant.
Then he said: "Throughout the ages, the world has never been what the emperor wants. Not to mention the former Yuan Dynasty, the former Song Dynasty claimed to rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats. The aristocratic families controlled the court and monopolized the classics, and the common people had no way to get ahead.
Only poor families have a glimmer of hope."
"But the ancestors of that poor family also had a good reputation, but they have declined, but they still have books passed down to their families."
"Now, they are trying to follow the example of those aristocratic families that have disappeared under the iron heel of the Mongols, and compete with our Lao Zhu family for control of this great world."
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a memorial and put it in his hand, and said with a stern look: "Do they think we are too old to carry the knife?"
"I still feel that the law does not punish everyone. There are more than 800 officials involved in more than 800 counties in the Ming Dynasty. I feel that we dare not kill them and cannot kill them!"
"Jiang Yu!!!"
When Jiang Wei heard His Majesty shouting, he quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial in his hand directly to the ground, and then said coldly: "It is our decree that these more than 800 memorial officials have colluded with foreign countries in an attempt to meddle with the Ming treasury, interfere with taxation, and subvert the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. They are indeed treasonous. They are also
He is guilty of treason."
"Arrest all of them and bring them to the capital for interrogation. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Jiang Wei immediately lowered his head and replied: "I obey the order!"
After saying that, he retreated out of the palace facing His Majesty, and went directly to carry out the decree.
Zhu Ying waited for Jiang Wei to leave before saying: "Old man, please calm down. My grandson estimates that this is a batch secretly introduced, and I want to test it out."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Of course we know that they are testing, but there is no need to pay for testing. We have to let them know what fear is. Anyone who dares to show his face will be killed one by one, and ten thousand will be killed by ten thousand."
"We don't believe it. Could it be that all the officials in the world are not afraid of death? If they were so brave, the Central Plains would not have let the Mongols destroy the mountains and rivers."
"Dasun, when dealing with these literati and businessmen, don't be afraid of bloodshed, don't be afraid of killing too many, just let your hands and feet go and kill without hesitation."
"If you kill those who are in office, there will always be someone to take over."
"We just looked at the officials who submitted the petition, and there are only a few county magistrates. This is the limit."
Zhu Ying smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
The old man's murderous nature is not just blown away, but actually killed.
Whether it was during the struggle for the world or after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this murderous nature has never weakened.
As long as there is any threat to the rule of the old Zhu family, the old man has never been soft-hearted.
The only option is to keep killing until no one dares to take the lead, and until everyone surrenders.
Kill him cleanly and bring peace to the world.
Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed!
After the old man's murderous nature subsided slightly, Zhu Ying said: "More than 800 officials, many of whom were promoted to Jinshi, were all killed at once. My grandson feels it is a pity."
"Why don't you distribute them all to the emperor's uncles and let them take them to the Japanese country, perform meritorious service, and educate the Japanese people."
"Being separated from their wives and their children, and having their bones buried in a foreign land, is also a form of punishment for them. They are expelled from foreign lands and are not allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty again as long as they live."
After listening to Da Sun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and finally nodded lightly.
"What Da Sun said makes sense. It would be too cheap to kill them directly. These people are just scapegoats pushed out by the controllers behind them. We should first arrest them and bring them to the capital for interrogation."
"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Whether they will die or live will depend on their performance."
"Everyone says they are not afraid of death. If they really have anything to say in this prison, we will follow the clues and catch them all without leaving any trace."
"In the Ming Dynasty, there are now many candidates for official positions in various places, and there are no less than a thousand or eight hundred. Even if there are several times more, it doesn't matter. Just open another Enke."
After Zhu Yuanzhang regained his composure, he thought about what Da Sun meant and then said slowly.
Zhu Ying agreed: "The fundamental thing here is still the struggle for interests. My grandson also looked at these memorials just now. Although there are 70% false in them, there are also 30% true."
"The Qunying Chamber of Commerce has expanded too fast, has too few backbone members, and is distributed in various places. It is difficult to stand alone. If it encounters the alliance of local gentry, it can only stay away."
"The main problem is with the Chamber of Commerce itself. There is not much of a problem in the capital at the moment. We can only build the factory first."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. In these aspects, he naturally trusted Dasun's abilities.
However, he still asked with concern: "It's been so many days since the news about this factory. The location has been decided. Why haven't we started yet?"
"Is there something missing in terms of money or labor?"
Facing the old man's question, Zhu Ying explained: "That's not true, it's just that my grandson is still waiting for someone."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some confusion: "Who else do we need to wait to build the factory?"
Zhu Ying replied: "It should be soon. My grandson has purchased a large number of craftsmen from Western countries through overseas trade."
"These craftsmen have different construction methods that are unique to our dynasty, and they have rich experience in stone-cast buildings."
"The factories and prisons that Sun'er wants to build all need to use high-rise stone buildings like this to prevent the underprivileged and to accommodate more people in a smaller area."
"Now the Eastern Roman Kingdom is suffering from the invasion of Timur. Everywhere is devastated. We can easily purchase them without spending much money. This is a good opportunity."
"Currently, my grandson has asked the Chamber of Commerce to issue a notice on the maritime side. People from all the countries in Opalo who have skills can bring their families to immigrate to my country and settle in the Ming Dynasty."
We are now at the end of the European Middle Ages. In 1453 AD, the fourth year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Roman Empire fell, marking the end of the European Middle Ages.
Stone buildings in Europe have very mature experience and production models from the 12th century to the present.
Zhu Ying continuously recruited all European craftsmen and other talents to the Ming Dynasty through sea shipping trade, in order to make the culture of the Ming Dynasty more prosperous.
On a deeper level, it was to fundamentally attack the European Renaissance and make Ming culture more all-encompassing.
