Liaodong and Tianjin are implementing Tianqi’s plan in an orderly manner.
Suzhou in the south has also started.
Some businessmen in Suzhou are not stupid.
Who listens to those big salt merchants?
Sea transportation is very good. Many of the products they sell are sold from Zhejiang to the East, and the price has increased several times.
The imperial court wants to open Tianjin Port. It is very convenient to go east from Suzhou through Songjiang and Nantong. It is also convenient to go north and south along the coast.
What's more important is that after the Tianjin Port is opened, it will definitely promote trade with Liaodong, even Goryeo and Japan. Suzhou will have a market for these goods. It will definitely support it. Who will oppose it with the salt merchants?
Besides, the fact that King Liang is coming to Wuxi is a bad thing for the landlords who occupy the land, but it is not a bad thing for them who are engaged in textiles and manufacturing.
The expenses of the Liang Prince's Mansion must be very large, and they must need abundant industrial supplies. Emperor Tianqi also strictly prevented the vassal princes from engaging in industrial activities to make money, and strictly investigated the clan for corruption and abuse of law. Therefore, he did not worry at all about the Liang Prince seizing the textile workshops and lowering the prices to force them to buy. Let those salt merchants do their own thing, we will not participate.
Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth to come. Anyway, the mistake was that he was from the Beijing camp and this group of rebels.
Wang Zaijin shook his head: "You are a true sage today, and you only work together to make money. It is hateful and ridiculous to dig your own grave."
Those giants in the Beijing army were all selected military officials who were reliable in all aspects, and quite a few of them were from peasants, military households, and craftsmen households in Zili. When we heard about it, we felt that these were not beneficial to the literati and landlords, but beneficial to the peasants, workers, and soldiers.
When it comes to cruelty and cruelty, I claim to be seventh, but only Hong Chengchou can compete for the first place. I chose Guanjie to be strong, and Hong Chengchou joined the military aircraft department, that's not what he did.
These situations were all investigated by Jin Yiwei.
"It's broken, that's what I'm talking about. We are only doing a post-investigation, and it will probably be a few months before the arrests are made." A slightly younger person spoke.
What do we want?"
The giants now know who we should support and praise.
Qiang Guanlian looked around Suzhou City and nodded slightly: "It really depends on the situation. Those businessmen engaged in land, salt diversion, and shipping will become the next wave of beneficiaries by relying on the development situation.
But the situation has changed~"
We know that path. Emperor Qi today has no Taizu and no ambition to become an ancestor. No matter what, if Jinyiwei rises in the future, we are willing to do bad things.
"I'm wrong, but some of the giant businessmen have given up on that plan and are preparing to destroy Tianjin Port and spread the land."
"Hey hey hey~"
Although the public opinion is fierce, it only praises those who act lightly from behind, while those who are stupid and rush behind shout loudly. The real situation may not necessarily praise weakness.
As we expected in the capital, war mobilization work has not yet started.
"No, even if you are against it, you will be against it. If you want to send money to the court, you should be an accurate example of approving the New Deal."
When Liang Wanglian returned to the hotel where he was staying, he immediately wrote a bad report and ordered someone to send it back to Tongzhou's Chang Shi.
No one looked as usual, and his companions asked: "Liang Wang Lian? Why is he so relaxed? It's obviously like he was in the capital."
"We don't have the guts?"
Something suddenly occurred to me and I looked at Yang Sichang: "By the way, those people must be causing trouble. Who will not participate?"
"Yes, yes, we are right and we are wrong, but do we have to look at the situation?" A guard in Jinyi advised Liang Wanglian not to be too stubborn.
Yang Sichang understood at once that the Military Aircraft Department and the pre-reorganized Beijing Army needed actual combat training. If they dealt with rebels such as salt merchants, they could both establish prestige and make money, killing two birds with one stone.
……
The big land-owning families cooperated with the big salt merchants in Huaihe and Huaihe to start sabotage.
I said to Liang Wanglian: "Although he is a bannerman, I heard that he will be a ranger in the future. The Jin Yiwei errand is the same as a ranger."
"Well, you understand. But His Majesty sent someone to ask you to retire from the Jin Yiwei to fulfill your position as a giant of a thousand households, and to let the Jinyiwei learn from the Mohist family of the pre-Qin Dynasty. So you must become righteous men."
I wrote down a personal suggestion first: There are few neutrals, and if you can, you will be able to implement the New Deal.
A few uniformed guards in casual clothes finished eating Suzhou noodles with toppings, listened to the Pingtan that they understood completely, and carefully investigated the public opinion among Suzhou scholars.
Qiang Guanlian, who had a normal expression on his face, turned around and said loudly: "Our Jinyiwei arrests are illegal. It's not our fault that we broke the law, it's our fault because we are weak."
Zhu Youzheng is convening a meeting of the conquest corps giants.
"You know some people want less because they are too greedy, and some people take risks because they think it is dangerous."
When asked, the giants of the conquest corps also answered yes.
"Why did we rebel? Do we want to be emperor? You see how dare we are. Do we want money and power? We don't have enough, and my father and I have nothing to give to us.
"We can succeed!"
As a result, the businessmen in Suzhou also became divided.
"As expected of Huang Chuangzi, you are so right! Some people outside the capital participated in it precisely because of those. However, the leaders of these rebellions rebelled for the sake of our fantasy era! For example, in the Qingliu Manchu Dynasty, when the emperor delegated power,
Exemption from commercial taxes and transfer of agricultural taxes..."
Others and I had a few words for a while, but when Ming Taizu created the Jinyiwei and Chengzu expanded the Jinyiwei, was the original intention to gather young righteous men in the zili to supervise the landlords and scholars?
After leaving the teahouse, a few of the few people saw the fierce public opinion and were not discouraged.
That time even the honest and kind Yang Sichang followed and "learned"~
"What's missing is that the Shandong Bailian rebels echoed the Lianghuai salt merchants, and there were no servants of small landowners in Suzhou, as well as some discerning businessmen who hired Japanese pirates to rebel against Li Ruo. You see, within a year, there will be no
This rebellion."
Huang Degong, who was promoted to the position of Hundred Households and also served as the leader of Thousand Households, thought about it and decided to give it a try.
My colleagues wanted me to take a look at the situation, but Qiang Guanlian said that the landlords and monopoly businessmen should take a look at the situation clearly. The situation has changed now.
Especially those engaged in industry cannot talk to those engaged in land and monopoly channels.
……
Making trouble?
Before Qiang Guanjie arrived in Yangzhou from Shandong, she saw that the small salt merchants were in deep water, and they were usually the most powerful local snakes. However, during the drought in Suqian, the profiteers who were hoarding money were caught as needed.
There are no landlords or businessmen in Suzhou who approve, but there are no industrial businessmen who remain neutral.
Before that experience, I made a lot of trouble openly, and I only dared to make trouble behind my back.
Wang Zaijin also smiled.
"In a few days, people from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will arrive in Youxi, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Huzhou to complete land surveying. There will definitely be no one to support the new policy. We may not dare to express our approval this time, but we will break the good news behind our backs.
It’s a lot.”
Yang Sichang also met Wang Zaijin and went north.
"Before the old Beijing camp was your loyal minister, Xiao Ming, but many people were deceived by the officials and powerful people who had no intention of turning back, so that's why we are in the situation today!"
There is a problem with the products that promote sea transportation if they are contaminated with sea steam. The king of Liang came to encircle the land to grab people's wealth, and measured the acres of land just to collect taxes from the people.
Another added: "Yeah, look at that posture. Before arresting people over there, they may not be able to successfully take them out of the city. The prefect's yamen is usually very polite to those old officials and young scholars."
