What was different from others was that when Lan Yu learned the news, she was stunned for a moment at first, and then she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
This is the opportunity God gave him.
Although Lan Yu's life seems to be quite comfortable recently, as time goes by, I gradually start to understand it in my heart.
Although His Highness Taisun trusted him, the handing over of military power meant that it would be difficult to go to the battlefield in the future.
It is basically impossible to command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight like in the past.
This made Lan Yu use wine to relieve her sorrow for a while, but she was helpless.
However, as soon as this incident came out, Lan Yu immediately realized that her opportunity had come.
Not long after, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunshuang, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and He Rong, the governor of the East, all arrived one after another.
Not surprisingly, everyone's eyes were shining.
Cao Zhen said with excitement in his tone: "Brother, our opportunity has come."
Lan Yu had calmed down at this moment, nodded with a smile and said, "Just wait and see. I think it won't take long before there is news from the palace."
Hearing what Lan Yu said, everyone who was still a little nervous became even more excited.
In fact, since Taisun was officially canonized, the status of Huaixi's noble generals of Lan Yu's line seems to have risen with the tide, but in fact they know their own misfortune.
Not only Lan Yu, but also the military power in the hands of other noble generals was also weakened invisibly.
A large number of elite soldiers were directly taken away and put under the control of Taisun Xuanjiawei, which greatly reduced their strength.
And many elite soldiers from Xuanjia Guard also interspersed among their soldiers.
These soldiers, who had an aura similar to that of Taisun's disciples, began to constrain them.
You must know that from the Xuanjia Guard to the guard house, the last one is at the level of hundreds of households, which can easily cause constraints.
It can be said that the military power of Huaixi generals is being eroded little by little by Taisun, and there is nothing they can do about it.
In another three to five years, no need to think too much, everyone will be ignored.
It is said that there is one emperor and one minister.
The contributions they had made were to the Ming Dynasty and to His Majesty, but not to the grandson.
But now, the opportunity has come.
Rumors are spreading everywhere. Don't think too much, His Majesty will be furious.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials.
This all directly affected Taisun, and the consequences can be imagined.
In the laws of the Ming Dynasty, there are unforgivable crimes.
One of the crimes is gross disrespect.
The bloody storm is right in front of you.
Lan Yu really wants to 'thank' these people who spread rumors, because they gave them the opportunity to make great contributions.
Sure enough, not long after Lan Yu and others were discussing, a eunuch came outside the door.
"His Royal Highness Taisun issued an order to summon Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, to the palace for an audience!"
"I obey the order."
After receiving the order, Lan Yu stood up with a spring breeze on her face.
In the palace.
The pressure is on Jin Yiwei's side.
There is a big difference between the current Jinyiwei and the Jinyiwei rebuilt by Zhu Di in history.
Nowadays, most of the responsibilities of Jinyiwei are within the capital city, where they take the supervision of all officials as their own responsibility.
In other places, although they have the authority to act, the number of people is small and they have not spread significantly.
This kind of thing is not done openly, but secretly. What is needed is to inquire about information like Jin Yiwei.
After some discussion between Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson.
An edict was issued.
"The Public Security Department of the Jinyi Weilian League performs the duty of supervising the world and sets up health clinics in various places in the Ming Dynasty. All necessary expenses are borne by internal funds."
Finally, we have reached this step ahead of schedule.
Originally, Zhu Ying's idea was to gradually use retired sergeants from local security stations to gradually replace the responsibilities of Jin Yiwei in various places.
In this situation, Jin Yiwei and the Public Security Bureau can only do it together.
When it comes to gathering intelligence, the rough guys in the army cannot do such a delicate job. The best candidates are the Jin Yiwei who have been familiar with this for many years.
Jiang Wei was ecstatic, this meant that Jin Yiwei's power would no longer be limited to the capital, but would radiate throughout the world.
"Is it really the Shanxi merchants who are causing trouble behind the scenes?"
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying asked coldly.
Ye Yueqing nodded to express his determination.
As soon as the rumor spread, everyone in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, whether they were in the capital or in various places, began to use their own resources to vigorously search for the source.
Who among the current members of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce does not know that the boss of their own chamber of commerce is the current His Highness Taisun and the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
When something like this happens, there is no need to wait for the order from the capital, and the search is started spontaneously.
This news was originally spread through business gang channels. Currently, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has opened many small chambers of commerce vests to inquire about the news.
After some tracing back to the source, we soon discovered that all these news mainly came from Jin.
The current Jin region of the Ming Dynasty refers to the Shanxi area.
Knowing that it was Shanxi merchants who were responsible for this, Zhu Ying was not surprised.
Shaanxi and Shanxi are adjacent to each other. It goes without saying that the Shaanxi rebels and Shanxi merchants must have an extremely close collusion.
As the Qunying Chamber of Commerce carries the power of the government, to a certain extent, this is collusion between government and businessmen recognized by the court.
How powerful will a chamber of commerce become with the help of the government?
In today's Ming Dynasty, the power of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has expanded rapidly, beyond the imagination of all businessmen.
Especially for all kinds of sales, Qunying Chamber of Commerce has no taboos and participates in everyone.
The most important one is that by taking advantage of the convenience of the official inn, the transportation price of goods becomes extremely low, so the goods sales of Qunying Chamber of Commerce are often much lower than those of other chambers of commerce.
Under such involution, many chambers of commerce can only follow the price reduction, resulting in lower profits.
Not to mention those merchants who hoard goods.
For example, there is a shortage of food in a certain place in the northwest, and merchants are driving up the price of food. However, within half a month, bulk goods from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce will arrive.
If you sell grain at a reasonable price, there will be a steady supply of grain.
Those profiteers who had hoarded a lot of grain wanted to make a profit, but ended up losing everything.
This kind of thing happened all over the Ming Dynasty. Because of the intensive purchase and the cheaper transportation of food, many small famines did not lead to large-scale starvation at all.
And when the local government does not have the money to buy food, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce can also provide the government with interest-free loans to tide over the difficulties.
Moreover, because the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is under the command of Tai Sun and has a semi-official background, even if some local governors want to have other small ideas, they dare not actually implement them and can only deal with the famine obediently.
With the widespread spread of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops, it is obvious that there will be no serious food shortage in the Ming Dynasty for a long time to come.
Then the overall food prices are showing signs of steady decline, and it is difficult to increase.
This is Zhu Ying's current approach to managing business with business, and it has achieved remarkable results in this era.
This is why the Shaanxi region, which historically did not rebel until the 30th year of Hongwu, started to rebel five years earlier.
Because if we don’t fight back, we will have no chance.
When all the people have enough to eat and drink, who will follow you in rebellion?
Even if you, the White Lotus Sect, continue to deceive people, if our wives and children are hot on the bed, who will go to work with you to put their heads in their belts?
Shanxi merchants have a strong foundation.
The Mongol-Yuan Rebellion left the entire Ming Dynasty in a state of desolation, but the Shanxi merchants who had been dealing with the grasslands for a long time did not suffer much impact.
During the first hundred years of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, there were various levels.
Han people are also divided into northerners and southerners.
The Han people who were severely hit were mostly Han people from the South.
These Shanxi merchants are growing stronger day by day.
Although they are not as powerful as the eight imperial merchants during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, overall, their financial resources are on the rise. Many Shanxi merchants became rich as the Mongols entered the Central Plains.
"We are at the Chamber of Commerce in Jindi, but there is news."
Zhu Ying asked after thinking for a moment.
Ye Yueqing shook his head and said: "There are messages from various places, but there is no news at all from Jin. Not only the chamber of commerce branches, but also other small chambers of commerce, there is no news."
The meaning of this statement is obvious. Shanxi merchants united and wiped out almost all other chambers of commerce.
It can be seen that all the network resources accumulated over the years have been exploded.
Even the officials of various government offices in Jin were lured with benefits.
Shaanxi rebelled. Looking at this situation, Shanxi will soon join forces.
"It seems that some people are more willing to take the hard side than the soft side."
Zhu Ying said coldly.
He has been trying his best to avoid large-scale bloodshed, because in Zhu Ying's view, every Ming citizen is extremely precious.
However, some people, although they have Ming Dynasty household registration, do not feel that they are Ming people from the bottom of their hearts.
If this is the case, then why is there any need to talk about kindness?
Violence is not the best method, but it is the quickest and most effective way to solve problems.
At this time, officials came to report: "Lanyu, Duke of Liang, wants to see you."
Came just in time.
Zhu Yingdao: "Call."
Soon, Lan Yu, dressed as a military general, entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, Lan Yu, pays homage to His Highness the Grand Sun."
Lan Yu's expression was solemn and resolute, and she even knelt down on one knee with military courtesy, clasping her fists in salute.
"Duke Liang, please rise." Zhu Ying raised her hand and said.
Lan Yu stood up respectfully.
"Duke Liang Guo should be aware of the rumors spread by the outside world, right?" Zhu Ying asked calmly.
