Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, let alone businessmen with low status. Proof.

In fact, the most important thing is to figure out your own position. If you think that you have brought a lot of benefits to others, others will definitely protect you.

As everyone knows, for nobles, their own power is the most important.

Money is gone once it is gone. As long as the power is still there, it can still be earned back later.

When it comes to exterminating people, the nobles are surprisingly unanimous. Those who were in prison for loan sharking, as well as those who followed them to do evil, all died tragically in prison without exception.

"Drink, then go on your way early, lest our brothers come in and attack."

"We've already killed dozens of people today, and my hands are sore when carrying the bodies. If you do this again, I won't have the energy to eat anymore."

"If you know the truth, you can avoid a lot of pain. The things inside are all carefully measured and stored in the shortest possible time, so you won't suffer for too long." Testimonials

Outside the cell, several jailers persuaded him earnestly.

They are really tired.

The butlers of various big bosses came to visit the prison one after another, each with a higher rank than the other. It was not something that they, the little minions, could violate.

The nearby pharmacies are almost out of stock of arsenic.

All of these people who have been caught in jail recently will die.

After the key person died, due to some reasons, they had to carry it out by themselves, which was a physically demanding job.

I have been working since the morning until now, and everyone is exhausted.

The businessman who heard this in the cell inside looked horrified and begged for mercy: "I am following Mr. Li. If you do this, Mr. Li will definitely not let you go."

"Do you know how much money I gave him as a tribute? This is an amount you have never dreamed of."

"Hurry up and let me go. I won't be held accountable after I get out."

The minister may not seem to be very big in the imperial court, but looking across the capital, he is still a first-rate official.

Basically, most things can be settled easily without even having to step forward.

The jailer smiled and said: "As for the minister, I don't care which minister you have. You know what the backstage of the one in front is. He is already a minister, so there is no use."

"Even if you have something to do with the palace, it's still the same. You can still maintain your dignity by drinking. But if our brothers take action later, it won't be so easy." Zheng said.

"Besides, you are dead in prison now, and you alone will die. If you really keep struggling, the whole house will die."

"We brothers really have no strength. There are still hundreds of people behind us, and the pressure from above is tight."

"I'll put this bowl for you, please be more sensible."

"Remember, when you drink it, you'll be done with it. If the amount of medicine is not enough, you will still be in pain."

The jailer put the bowl filled with potion on the ground, and after saying that, he walked towards the next cell, leaving the ashen-faced businessman with his eyes blank.

After a long time, the businessman seemed to have figured it out. He walked to the cell door and picked up the medicine bowl tremblingly, for fear of spilling it.

Then drink it all in one gulp. Proof

Even the residue inside was licked clean.

As the jailer said, drinking less will only make the torture worse.

After a moment, a pitiful scream sounded, which was the last torture before death.

Throughout the prison, screams were heard one after another, echoing continuously.

Those prisoners who had nothing to do with this matter were so frightened that they huddled in the corners of the cells and shivered.

Scenes like this are truly a lifelong shadow in the hearts of ordinary people.

Even the jailers rarely see such a scene, and they feel a little frightened. Testify

Turning around, for those who were unwilling to drink, the jailers could only swarm over and forcefully irrigate them, which took a lot of effort.

Jailers are not allowed to commit suicide privately, especially with injuries such as swords.

The most basic right to execute people has nothing to do with them.

The sword on the waist is mostly just a decoration.

Going into a cell and wiping a prisoner's neck is not allowed by law. Secondly, ordinary jailers don't have the guts to do it themselves.

If you take poison, you will commit suicide.

The incident was so big this time that the jailers had no other choice. Evidence

Fortunately, when someone from above comes with instructions, they will give a lot of reward money. After removing the cost of buying medicine, the rest is what they earn.

This wave can be regarded as a windfall.

There are only a dozen or twenty jailers in a normal cell, but now there are hundreds of guards in each cell.

After death, even if it is carried out and thrown to the prisoner's family, each person has to carry dozens of people to lie down on his back.

This turmoil in the capital was like a thunderstorm, coming and going away even faster.

Within two or three days, more than 10,000 people lost their lives.

More than 10,000 people may seem like a lot, but in fact, they have no major impact on the entire city of Nanjing. Proof.

Perhaps the only thing that is more conspicuous is that almost all the banks and pawnshops in the streets and markets have been closed down.

According to the current Ming Dynasty laws, the land deeds of these shops will be invalidated, and they will be included in the internal funds and entered into the emperor's private treasury.

Of course, this includes the other properties of these loan shark merchants, which will be confiscated.

Sometimes it’s really that easy to get money.

Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed a little.

It turns out that these businessmen have so much money in their hands. If I had known that I would have paid more attention to the businessmen, I would not have been as embarrassed as before.

Zhu Ying no longer has much feeling for money. Proof.

His current idea is to develop internal affairs on a large scale, as well as various industrial bases, and then expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After three months, the Beiyuan Employment Guild has reached a certain scale.

The current direction of development still lies in the protection of caravans, especially those traveling in the Western Regions.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Zhu Ying called Uncle Zhang.

"If I remember correctly, there was a Mongolian member in our chamber of commerce earlier. He was a good and powerful man, named Batu, right?"

Zhu Ying asked after reminiscing.

There is the branch of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the Golden Horde. It is very far away from the Ming Dynasty. There are Western Regions, Chagatai Khanate in the east, and then the Golden Horde. Proof.

The spread of news is naturally very slow.

At the beginning, Zhu Ying ordered all Mongolian chambers of commerce to evacuate to the Western Regions, and then entered the Ming Dynasty.

The news from the Golden Horde was very late, and the losses would be much greater.

Among them, when Zhu Ying checked the intelligence, he was deeply impressed by Batu described in the file.

The Western Regions belong to the Ming Dynasty in name, so the Ming Dynasty cannot arbitrarily send troops to the Western Regions, as this will affect the reputation of the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongols are different. They are famous for their ferocity, especially small countries in the Western Regions, which have been ravaged many times by Mongolian cavalry.

If you want to stir up the water in this pond in the Western Regions, it is naturally more convenient for the Mongols to come forward to prove it.

Zhang Bo replied: "After the Mongol men like Batu withdrew, they have been staying in the city of heroes in our Western Regions."

"If His Highness has any instructions, I think they will definitely be able to handle it."

Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Send them some money and food to support them, recruit troops and horses in the Western Regions, and go out to conquer, causing chaos throughout the Western Regions."

"The Beiyuan Mercenary Guild has hired a team of three thousand cavalry to help Batu gain more territory."

"Don't worry about logistical issues. If there's anything you don't like, just call us."

"Timur's side should have a strong advantage over the Golden Horde now. Timur himself is very arrogant, and he thinks he will prepare to launch troops against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the near future."

"Let Batu and the others participate in the past. Once they have enough troops, they will also conduct border sweeps against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate." Evidence.

"As for funding, just take 20 million treasure notes and gradually support it within two years."

The Western Region is too tight.

Especially now in the Western Regions.

At the beginning, Zhu Ying had thousands of horses in his hands, and he could dominate the entire Western Region. However, in the Western Region, there was no point in having more territory, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, and you might not see a single person for several days.

Zhu Ying's original thoughts were all about business. In addition to building a city of heroes, he did not deliberately conquer several countries to show off his military power. It was just for fun.

It's different now. Unifying the Western Regions is of greater significance.

High-yielding crops can still have very good output values ​​in the Western Regions. Proof.

The Western Region is at the junction with Timur and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and its geographical location is also relatively important.

Although Timur died on the march in history, some things had changed. Zhu Ying was not sure whether he would die like that.

It's better to play it safe.
