Chapter 742: Confiscation of Households and the King of Hell
"Tong, others are afraid of your overwhelming power, but I am not afraid of you!"
The second princess was not stupid to begin with, but was extremely clever. She suddenly realized what was wrong.
If you are led by the nose by Yuzhu, you will definitely never have peace.
Instead of being low and petty everywhere, why not simply straighten your waist!
"I'm just a prostitute. No matter how many mistakes I make, my mistakes are limited!" The words of the second princess made Yuzhu look at her with admiration.
If Prince Zhuang leaves the capital privately, the Iron King's title will definitely be lost.
No matter how daring the second princess is, she is still a woman and she has not secretly colluded with foreign ministers. Even if she is punished by the old emperor, it cannot be too severe.
Yuzhu looked at the second princess with a smile, and his interest in her became more and more intense.
Hey, after being pinched and still daring to act rogue, this second princess is really interesting.
"Second Master Bo, I have to remind you one thing. Prince Yong is in this county. If I hand you over to him, huh, your mother, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die!" Yuzhu made a plan.
If it doesn't work, try another trick.
The pretty face of the second princess immediately lost its color.
All along, the old emperor's favorite thing to do was to weaken the power of the banner owners.
Among them, the most important method is to use the prince's elder brother, to control the department or to control the flag.
The root cause of Kang Mazi's attempt to seize the legitimate sons in Kowloon in his later years was that the adult princes were either in charge of the flag or in charge of the ministry, and had real power.
The advantage of doing this is that it weakens the power of the Iron Kings. The disadvantage is also obvious, it gives the sons the strength to challenge the old emperor.
After the fourth son came to the throne, his methods became much more sophisticated, which not only weakened the strength of the old banner leaders, but also prevented their sons from challenging the throne.
The magic weapon of Laosi is mainly the establishment of a military aircraft department with monopoly power and the widely promoted secret discount system.
In the Kangxi Dynasty, the ministers with the power to report secretly were, at best, only a dozen or so trusted officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In the hands of Yongzheng, even the fourth-rank prefect had the power to make secret reports.
Of course, it is understandable that Lao Si faces continuous counterattacks from hostile forces and resorts to more ruthless tactics.
"Humph, am I afraid because King Yong is here?" The second princess said she was not afraid, but her clenched fists revealed the nervousness in her heart.
What is particularly hateful about the fourth child is that he dares to disown his relatives for the sake of national interests!
Because of this, Lao Si's reputation has always been very bad. Otherwise, others would not have made up the nickname of the cold-faced King of Hell and roundly called him a cold-blooded animal.
"Oh, since you're not afraid of this or that, then I'll excuse you."
As the saying goes, half a sentence is enough if it is not speculative.
The second princess is indeed so beautiful that you can't close your eyes, but she is not the wife or daughter of a Han bureaucrat.
To put it bluntly, even if Yuzhu was as bold as an ox, if he really touched the body of the second princess, he would have touched the old emperor's bottom line.
In the Kangxi Dynasty, the Eight Banners still ruled the world, not the emperor.
The old emperor was far from concentrating all the power in one body, and the princes and ministers of the Eight Banners still had strong power.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu really had an affair with the second princess. No matter how favored and trusting he was, the old emperor could not withstand the raging anger of the prince of the Eight Banners, so he had to kill Ma Su with tears.
In short, confinement is a light punishment.
Seeing that Yuzhu was about to leave, the second princess asked him to stay.
"Hey, why did you come to Caoxian County?" The second princess probably learned how to change faces in Sichuan Opera, and she could change her face faster than turning the page in a book. Furong's pretty face was filled with a smile.
As soon as Yuzhu heard this, he guessed that this girl must want something.
Prince Zhuang had no sons, and even if he had one, he had stolen the body of his younger siblings and created an illegitimate child secretly, so he would not be able to see the light of day at all.
Therefore, the second princess's trip south to Shandong cannot be a major event that affects the political situation.
The elimination method works very well.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Yuzhu determined that the second princess probably had major economic interests in Henan Province, right?
"There was a big disaster in Yu Province, and King Yong planned to confiscate all the grains of the big families in Yu Province to help the victims." The jade pillars were woven with noses and eyes, so the two princesses couldn't believe it.
Because this is what Lao Si has done in all the disaster relief missions he has done.
Of course, inspection is also a university subject.
The fourth child just has a tough personality, not a fool. He has always copied the grain hoarded by profiteers first. If it is not enough, he will then "borrow grain" from the officials and gentry.
It was said that it was borrowing, but in fact, it was an open robbery to bully others, and the people who were robbed were wealthy people who were studying or working as officials.
In the hands of this group of scholars, the power of public opinion between the government and the public was in the hands of the government. Naturally, Lao Si's reputation became extremely bad.
After listening to Yuzhu's explanation, the second princess couldn't hold it in any longer. She accompanied Xing carefully and said with a smile: "I have a batch of goods in Wei Hui Mansion. If you can be accommodating, I will thank you very much."
Yuzhu thought it was funny. This girl was just a money-crazed little money-lover.
How should I put it? The little girl was also afraid of Yuzhu's threats just now, but she was not particularly afraid.
Because, after all, she is Prince Zhuang's biological daughter, the second princess personally named by the old emperor.
If a girl from the clan sneaks out of the capital, her reputation will definitely be ruined.
However, the second princess doesn’t want to get married anymore, so why does she need such a good reputation?
However, if the second princess wants to enrich the country and the food she has hoarded in advance is stolen by the fourth princess, the loss will be too great.
Plans do not change quickly, and Lao Baqi always encounters new problems.
According to the second princess's wishful thinking, as long as the grain that had been hoarded in advance was sold at the highest price, there would be a profit of at least one million taels of silver.
The benefits were huge and the risks were extremely small, so the second princess spent all her money and emptied Prince Zhuang's family fortune.
After all the calculations, the second princess only missed one point. The old emperor actually sent the fourth son to Henan Province to investigate the disaster.
Lao Si is a person who only accepts death and is completely unreasonable, leaving almost no room for negotiation.
As a result, the two princesses entangled Yuzhu and even lured him with huge profits.
"If you help me sell the grain, how about we split it 50-50?" The second princess's heart was bleeding, and she really couldn't bear to share so much profit with Yuzhu.
However, the situation is stronger than the people.
The door that had been opened was blocked again due to the resignation of Henan Governor Yang Zongyi.
Like Yuzhu and the others, the second princess was also stuck in Cao County after the road was closed at Wei Hui Mansion.
Now the second princess is not only in a dilemma, but also very anxious.
There was so much food, and she was not only afraid of looting by the victims, but also worried about being robbed by the fourth child. It was really difficult for her.
Naturally, Yuzhu could not be at the mercy of the second princess. He stood up, smiled lightly and held his hands in his hands: "The sky is high and the road is far, so let's say goodbye!"
"Hey, don't leave in a hurry..." The second princess hurriedly raised her hand to stop him, and left without letting go of Yuzhu.
Yuzhu finally understood that the girl in front of him was a complete money addict.
