Captain Jingfu was subordinate to Zhi Jinwu (formerly Lieutenant), and his status was roughly equivalent to that of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau in later generations.
Because the main responsibility of the Jingfu Captain is to guard the capital and be responsible for arresting thieves and maintaining public order.
Therefore, the Jingfu Duwei Yamen is not in the same place as the Zhijinwu Yamen, nor is it in Beique where the Jiuqing's Yamen gather.
It is located in the southwest of Chang'an City, on the left side of Huajie and Liuxiang. This is easy to understand.
In the past, alcohol was prohibited in the Han Dynasty, and Huajie and Liuxiang were the main distribution centers for illegal liquor.
At the same time, Huajie and Liuxiang are also the places where all the knights and gangsters from Chang'an will come after they get rich.
By occupying this place, you can fight crime and collect fines conveniently.
But today, this formerly majestic yamen is in big trouble.
Hundreds of ordinary people shouted slogans and blocked the entrance of the government office.
The businessmen, scholars, and even singers and female slaves in Huajie and Liuxiang, who have always been people who watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously, came to watch one after another.
And their appearance brought more people who didn't know the truth to gather.
In just half an hour, the gate of Jingfu Duwei Yamen became a lecture platform for Confucian scholars.
One by one, Confucian scholars came to the stage and preached loudly.
On and off the stage, the slogans were loud.
And the entire Jingfu Duwei Yamen was furious.
…………………………
"These Confucian scholars are going too far!" Standing in a pavilion in the official office, the new Jingfu Captain Dao Jian said angrily: "I'm afraid this generation will definitely make things difficult for me!"
Daojian's eldest son Daorong stood on one side, lowered his head and said: "Sir, do you want me to lead someone to disperse this generation?"
Daorong, who spent his entire youth in Anton, is no longer the skinny young man from Linzi City in the past.
He now has a thick waist and round arms, and because he has been out in extremely cold weather all year round, his hair is thicker than other people's. He even has a scar on his face, which is proof of his bravery.
Behind him, dozens of elite soldiers were ready to go.
These tribesmen who followed Anton from Linzi to Chang'an were Daojian's confidants, and could even be considered family members.
They ate and lived together, worked together, fought through rough roads in Andong, faced savages, and saw the Xiongnu horseshoes and the barbarians of Xianbei and Wuheng.
Everyone is a true cold person!
But Dao Jian raised his hand and shook his head: "No need! The emperor has no orders, we can just sit back and watch..."
only……
These Confucian scholars and businessmen did not block the Shaofu, nor did they block the internal history, but they blocked his Jingfu Duwei Yamen.
This made Dao Jian furious, and he already had deep resentment in his heart.
"Please don't fall into the hands of a certain family in the future..." Dao Jian snorted coldly.
As Captain Kyosuke, Toma already knew how much power and responsibility he had in his hands.
Today, these Confucian scholars and businessmen came to slap him in the face.
He will definitely take it back in the future!
"This generation won't be able to live happily for long!" Dao Jian said with a sneer.
In Tojian's eyes, these Confucian scholars and these businessmen are dancing for joy now.
If it had been another emperor, I'm afraid they would have succeeded.
But unfortunately, what they were facing was an emperor who was regarded as a 'holy king' by the people and was named a 'god emperor' by the Yi Di. He spoke the constitution of heaven and had great power!
Even though Dao Jian has been far away in Anton all these years, he still knows how powerful the energy and resources are in the hands of today's emperor.
And if these things leak out even a little bit, it is enough to turn everything upside down in Chang'an.
But the emperor has been standing still. Obviously, this is abnormal.
Something is wrong, and these dregs may turn into powder.
"I am ordering everyone in the yamen to guard the door and not to have any disputes with outsiders..." Dao Jian ordered: "Tell everyone that you must do it for me. You will not fight back when you are hit, and you will not retaliate when you are scolded!"
"Let them be arrogant first!"
As for what if someone makes a noise and attacks the official office of the Jingfu Captain?
haha……
Do you think that the garrison of the arsenal and the majesty of Jinwu are just decorations?
……………………
Dao Jian's order made the Confucian scholars and the crowd gathered outside the Yamen more and more courageous.
Some people even think that they have mastered the truth. If we had not mastered the truth, how could the government be so restrained?
"Righteousness is indeed the most powerful!" Wang Sheng thought, and became more energetic when he gave a speech.
While he was loudly preaching various slogans and making all kinds of lofty remarks, he disguised himself as a promising young man who was not afraid of the powerful and dared to speak.
Dare not interfere with his soldiers.
In his heart, he was undoubtedly more comfortable than taking an elixir!
He knows very well that if he succeeds in this matter.
Not only can you win the favor of many businessmen, but even the noble people behind the businessmen.
Maybe, you can also make your own reputation throughout the world, and reputation has always been linked to official position, power and status.
Like those giants from hundreds of schools of thought, why do they just sit there while there are businessmen, princes and their heirs, holding gold, licking their faces to become their disciples? And they receive countless amounts of money every year to 'subsidize' them.
Just because they are famous.
"And I will become the next Dong Zi and the next Huzi!" Wang Sheng imagined that wonderful moment in his heart.
When that time comes, everyone, whether they are ladies from all over the world or everyone from small families, will rush to stick to him.
There may even be noble ladies, royal ladies, and even princesses from the Tian family who would like him.
From now on, he can marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life!
Singing girls from Zhao, dancers from Qi, Bo slaves from southwestern Yi, maids from South Korea... From now on, you can have as many as you want!
This made his blood boil and his emotions couldn't be controlled. Even the words coming out of his mouth gradually became more and more extreme.
At first, he only dared to repeat and recite Dong Zhongshu's articles.
But now, he acted on the spot and began to shout out his own voice: "Since ancient times, the saint kings have governed the world with light corvee and low wealth. I have never heard of anyone who competes with the people for profit!"
only……
In shock, Wang Sheng discovered that the situation seemed to have changed.
Many people seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
And these people are the same rangers who have been encouraging and encouraging him.
They are all lackeys raised by the merchants in Chang'an City, and they have always been the ones who cheer for him and make noises.
As soon as these people left, the atmosphere and temperature of the gathering dropped a lot instantly.
Not only these people, but also a few of his companions left without saying goodbye.
This made Wang Sheng suddenly alert.
"What happened?" He hurriedly stepped down from the stage, found his servant and asked.
"Legalist giant Zhang Hui sent a letter to Dong Zi this morning, mentioning the Zhigong case and the Sanbei case..." the servant replied.
"Ah..." Wang Sheng felt like he was being showered with cold water from head to toe. He was instantly stunned: "How dare the Legalists raise these two cases?"
"How dare they? How do they have the courage?" Wang Sheng was a little confused.
The Zhigong case and the Sanbei case involved the positions and positions of almost all schools of thought.
In particular, Confucianism and the Huang-Lao sect were directly involved.
Once these two cases are uncovered and brought out, there is no doubt that their impact will affect everyone.
But, to be fair, this kind of thing will only spread and be discussed among the upper echelons of academia.
Why, even his servants know about it now?
But before Wang Sheng had time to think, another bombshell hit him so hard that he was shaking all over and could hardly stand up.
"In addition, I also heard that just half an hour ago, thirty-one big businessmen from Linqiong, including Cheng Zhengying, Zhuo Wangsun, Luoyang Shidan, Lu Guo's Bing family, Qi Guo's Tian family, and Zhao Guo's Li family,
They all went to the Shaofu and asked for tens of millions of dollars to buy shops in nine cities in Chang'an!"
"It is said that the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Linqiong brought 10,000 gold directly to the Shaofu..."
"Master Luoyang used fifty four-wheeled carriages, loaded with coins..."
"The Bing family of Lu State pledged their house in Maoling School District as a mortgage..."
"The Tian family of Qi State pledged its fifteen Linzi workshops..."
These news made Wang Sheng's hands and feet feel cold and his whole body became stiff.
Now he finally understands why the rangers ran away?
Because the master behind them was already panicking, it could even be said that he was panicking.
He finally understood now why the others ran away?
Because these people, the people who appeared in his ears now, represented the richest merchants in the entire Han Dynasty.
Each of them is a true financial backer of a school of thought.
Offending them is no different than killing yourself.
Offending them means that almost all schools except Mohism and Huang-Lao School will find it difficult to survive.
In the past three years, the funding and donations from these people accounted for one-third of the funding received by all schools of thought!
Money is power!
In addition, the Legalists suddenly counterattacked, and the Confucian camp had to turn around and fight back.
Therefore, the entire alliance immediately collapsed at this time.
But……
But no one told him.
what does that mean?
No doubt about it!
He was abandoned!
He became an outcast and even a scapegoat.
Thinking of this, Wang Sheng suddenly screamed strangely and fainted to the ground.
………………………………
At this moment, the whole of Chang'an was in a state of chaos.
Those who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai were completely panicked.
"The Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family of Linqiong!" When facing these two idols of businessmen in the world, the Supreme Emperor of Southwest Yi, the largest private iron mine owner and iron smelter owner in the empire, whether it is the Tian family or the Yang family, even if it is
The majestic Wuyan clan, who once dared to lend money to the country at usurious rates, was very timid and did not dare to make a sound.
Because they are myths in the business world!
Because their money and resources far exceed those of these local snakes in Chang'an!
Because the mines and workshops under their name can produce nearly half a million kilograms of pig iron every year!
This is the real giant with unparalleled wealth!
Apart from other things, these two men built the pavilion ramp with their own money.
Is it okay to switch to another merchant? Is it okay?
I'm afraid that if the project is halfway through, the whole family will be overwhelmed by the project funds!
As for the Shidan family, the Bing family, and the Tian family, they are all powerful figures in the business world of the Han family.
The tracks of the Shi family, the ironware of the Bing family, and the ships of the Tian family represent the three most profitable industries in the world.
And everyone else’s net worth is in the tens of millions!
What's more important is that before today, all the merchants and powerful people in Guanzhong were trying their best to stop these people at Hangu Pass, Lantian, and Wuguan at all costs.
For this reason, the merchants in Guanzhong worked hard to build good relations with the princes, ministers and even palace nobles. At the same time, they used their own connections and geographical advantages to do everything possible to prevent them from infiltrating.
For this reason, many people do not hesitate to give benefits and money to princes, ministers and court nobles year after year.
However, now, today, with the union of these people, all the efforts and determination have been in vain.
Once, they robbed shops in nine cities in Chang'an.
Their industry, their capital, and their influence will take root in Guanzhong.
With the ability, skill and capital of these people, all Guanzhong merchants have no doubt that their customers and their business will be snatched away by them with cheaper prices, more supplies and better products, or even all of them.
.
Apart from other things, there is not a single merchant in Guanzhong who has the ability to start a price war with the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family!
Cheng Zheng's and Zhuo's products have absolute advantages in terms of cost and quality.
And the merchants and capital all over the world have wanted to take advantage of Guanzhong, especially the profits of Chang'an commerce, for a long, long time.
After the emperor came to the throne, the unprecedentedly prosperous examination economy once a year stimulated these people even more.
All Guanzhong businessmen have heard that businessmen from Guandong and even Anton were willing to pay 10 million or more to exchange for the location of the nine cities in Chang'an.
Once upon a time, businessmen in Guanzhong thought this was probably a joke.
But now it seems that they were not telling jokes at all.
But I have actually prepared so much money.
Especially the Bing family and Tian family...
too exaggerated!
In order to grab a shop, one used his school district house, which he had spent thousands of gold on, as a mortgage, and the other simply pledged his wife Ben's entire Linzi workshop and fleet as pledge.
This frightened the merchants and wealthy families in Guanzhong!
They ask themselves, they never have such courage.
The menacing approach of Guanzhong Capital also made them tremble with fear.
Everyone knows it, everyone knows it.
These Guandong merchants were aggressive and came here not only to make money.
It's not just for doing business.
Their greater purpose and greater ambition are yet to come!
"These bastards are here to compete with us for the favor of the princes, nobles in the palace, and even the favor of the emperor!" Tian, who started his career as an official and businessman, immediately came to his senses.
Only in this way can these guys be so willing to spend any money.
They came to Chang'an not only to grab business and territory, but also to grab connections, backers, and policies!
